Chapter Eighty-Three: Sister Ranchi, Xiao Hou Chenqing
Yao Yanyu has been struggling with whether to tell Han Mingcan about Xiao Lin and Yun Yao's marriage. She remembered Xiao Lin's eyes when she looked at Han Mingcan and Han Mingcan's reaction on the night of the Lantern Festival, the two of them should have a little feeling, if they hid this matter from Han Mingcan, they would feel sorry for her. However, it is not certain what happened to the two of them, and it would be too reckless to say it to her like this.
What the hell is good? Yao Yanyu exhaled a long breath and threw the pharmacopoeia in his hand aside.
Seeing this, Cuiwei immediately stepped forward and asked, "Girl, are you tired?" Do you want a slave to pinch your shoulder? β
"No, I'll get up and take a walk." Yao Yanyu got up, twisting her waist while moving her arms.
Cui Wei glanced at the books on the small kang table, hurriedly cleaned up the pen and ink, and put aside some of the papers that Yao Yanyu had just written. Seeing the crooked tadpole text on it, he smiled and said, "The words written by the girl are not the same as those written by others." β
Yao Yanyu glanced back and said, "Do you want to learn?" Another day, there will be kung fu to teach you. β
Cui Wei hurriedly shook her head: "No." The slave doesn't even know how to write her own name, so how can she learn this? β
Yao Yanyu remembered that although Cuiwei and Cuiping had studied at home with her, they only barely knew a few words, only to know, and they couldn't write, and they didn't have the opportunity to practice writing at all, so it was pitiful to think about it, so she smiled and said: "What's this, when you have kung fu, I'll teach you to write." β
"The girl's busy face is gone to sleep every day, where can the slave and maid make trouble for the girl?" As Cuiwei spoke, she had already sorted out the books and papers on the Xiao Kang table.
Yao Yanyu moved around the house a few times and wanted to go outside to breathe, but as soon as she went out, she heard a commotion outside, because she asked, "What's the noisy thing in front?" β
Cui Ping was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "That's right! Today is the day of the list! β
"Huh?" Yao Yanyu was stunned at first, and then asked in surprise: "Isn't the second brother in the middle?" β
Cui Ping just wanted to say that the slave maid went to take a look, but saw Banxia running in happily, and happily replied: "Congratulations girl! The second master is hit! Those who came to the front to report the good news are waiting to be rewarded! β
Yao Yanyu asked, "What about the second brother?" β
"Second master?" Cui Ping thought about it, raised her hand and knocked her head: "The second master went out early in the morning, saying that he was going to run errands outside the city." β
"Quick, call someone to report to the second brother!" Yao Yanyu happily commanded.
Mama Feng next to her was also very happy to hear this, and hurriedly reminded Yao Yanyu: "Girl, we have to give the reward for the good news first!" β
"Give, give! Take more money! Yao Yanyu happily looked a little at a loss.
Mama Feng happily agreed, took a bag of broken silver, and went to the front to reward. Yao Yanyu grabbed Mama Feng again and said, "Mama asked me clearly, my brother won the first place." β
"Hey, the slave knows." Mama Feng happily went to the front.
After a while, the little kung fu girl Banxia ran in again and replied: "Girl, the second master has won the thirty-seventh place on the top list." β
Top list, 37th Jinshi? Yao Yanyu didn't understand much, but she thought it was a good result, right?
"Then, what about the champion, Bangyan, and Tanhua?" Yao Yanyu asked.
"This ...... The slave doesn't know. Banxia replied dumbfounded.
"Tsk! Stupid girl. Yao Yanyu glared at her, "Go and ask." β
Watching Banxia hurriedly run out, Yao Yanyu reacted, this so-called champion, Bangyan, Tanhua has to be hand-picked by the emperor, right? It seems that there is something else to attend...... Temple exam? Yao Yanyu raised her hand and patted her head, thinking to herself why am I so 'two', I was really called 'second girl', and I have sequelae.
In any case, Yao Yanyi's winning the 37th Jinshi on the top list is great news.
Yao Ergongzi is busy with chores on weekdays, and reading is just something he does when he is idle and has nothing to do, which is different from those sour rotten shows who hold books and shake their heads all day long to read 'Ziyue Shiyun'.
The good news spread to the Yao family's old residence, and then to the Qixiang Courtyard of Dinghou Mansion.
At that time, Yao Fengge was sending out all the people in the house, leaving Liuli alone to talk, and just asked: Is the girl in orange red reliable? I heard someone outside say in a loud voice, third grandmother, I'm overjoyed!
Yao Fengge frowned and glanced at Liuli, who was busy and got up to go out. The coral guarding under the eaves of the porch had already asked the person who gave the good news, "What is the great joy of it?" β
The one who came to report the good news was a mother-in-law, who laughed loudly in the courtyard: "Please go back to the third grandmother, the second uncle is the thirty-seventh on the top list in high school!" β
Yao Fengge was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry, reward the people who came to report the good news!" β
Mama Li had already heard the news and took the silver out to reward people, and then the girls and mothers-in-law in Qixiang Courtyard all had a share, and their faces were full of joy.
Not long after, the Feng family and the Sun family came over together to congratulate Yao Fengge, and the Feng family smiled: "Congratulations to the third brother and sister!" The second uncle is in high school, and he will be reused by the emperor in the future, and he will stay in the capital to serve, and the third brother and sister don't have to lament that their mother's family is no one in the capital. β
Yao Fengge smiled: "I borrowed my sister-in-law's auspicious words!" β
Sun also said something about the scene, and said with a smile: "The second uncle of the Yao family is a protΓ©gΓ© of Lord Feng." β
Feng Shaoping is the chief examiner of this year, and speaking of which, this year's Jinshi are all his students, so Yao Fengge said with a smile: "It is also a blessing for my second brother to be able to vote under Lord Feng." In the future, I still rely on my sister-in-law's father and brother to support my brother a lot. β
Feng Shi smiled: "You tell me these words? When did we become outsiders? β
The three of them laughed together. Coral took the maids to serve fragrant tea and snacks, and Yao Fengge gave courtesy to the two sisters-in-law.
Sun smiled again: "Counting it, the third brother and sister are in labor in June, and the second sister of the Feng family is also in June." At that time, our house will be considered a double happiness. β
Yao Fengge lowered his head and drank tea, and was silent when he heard this.
Feng Shi smiled: "Second grandmother is talking about this. My body is not angry, and when the time comes, you will have to worry about the inside and outside of this house. β
Yao Fengge suddenly smiled: "Speaking of which, I think of one thing, if it can be done, it will be a real happy event." β
Sun Shiyin asked, "What's the matter?" β
Yao Fengge said with a smile: "Last year, the eldest princess said that she wanted to choose a gentle reader for Yu'er. This year happens to be spring, and all the romantic talents from all over the world have gathered in the capital, which can be described as a meeting of the wind and clouds, and I don't know if anyone can get into the eyes of the eldest princess. β
Sun's eyes flickered for a moment, and his smile faded a little: "The third sister is the eldest princess's heart, and the eldest princess is afraid that she doesn't want to marry her off so early, right?" This year has only reached the year of the year. The second girl in the Zhenguo Mansion is eighteen years old, and she is not in a hurry, so she should not be in a hurry, right? β
Yao Fengge said with a smile: "This is not necessarily, when I went to greet the eldest princess a few days ago, her old man was still talking about it." It's just that I'm pregnant and can't go out, so I didn't dare to respond. β
Feng also smiled: "Speaking of which, this girl must have good looks and talents, and I don't know who will have this blessing in the future and can marry her home." β
As soon as Feng's voice fell in the room, someone outside shouted: "Okay! While I'm not here, you're speaking ill of me behind my back! β
Yao Fengge immediately smiled: "Look at it, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive!" Come on, we're talking about it here, now that the talented people in this capital are gathered, it's time for your Hongluan Star to move. β
Su Yuxuan walked up to Yao Fengge, and after sitting down next to her, Fang said angrily: "People are kind enough to come to say hello to you, you are good, but you are talking about others." I'm going to tell my wife to judge the judges. β
Yao Fengge smiled: "What we are talking about here is also for your good. Taking advantage of the gathering of talented people in Yundu City, wouldn't it be better to quickly choose a wishful husband for you? β
Su Yuxin flattened her mouth with a look of disdain: "Who is rare those romantic talents." I don't want to marry them. β
The Sun family already had something on their minds, and when they heard Su Yuxuan's words, they couldn't help but smile and asked, "Yo, what does it mean when you hear this, is it that our third sister already has a sweetheart?" β
Su Yuxuan was already a little annoyed, and smiled lightly: "What's wrong today?" You're making endless jokes around me? It seems that I didn't come at the right time, so I might as well leave first. "Anyway, I really have to get up.
Yao Fengge grabbed it: "My sister is really annoyed?" It's mine no, I'll apologize to my sister. Later, I want to go back and say hello to my second brother, do you want my sister to come with me? β
Su Yuyu hadn't seen Yao Yanyu for a few days, so she was naturally happy when she heard this, and hurriedly held Yao Fengge's arm: "I came to ask my sister-in-law if you want to go out." I haven't seen Sister Yao for a long time, and I miss her to death. β
Yao Fengge smiled: "I knew that you came to me for Yan Yu." β
Yao Yanyi Jinshi and the first, as a younger sister, Yao Fengge wanted to go back to say hello to her brother and go back to Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu was naturally approved, and asked Mama Lian to prepare a congratulatory gift for Yao Fengge to bring with her.
Although Yao Yanyi didn't come to the capital for a long time, there were also a few sons of families who chatted well, and at this time Yao Yanyi was in high school, and these friends naturally came to the door to say hello. When Yao Fengge and Su Yuxin arrived at the Yao family's old residence, there was already a lot of laughter here.
From the little guy guarding the door to the maid serving tea and pouring water, everyone has a smile on their faces. Su Yuyu took Yao Fengge's arm and entered the courtyard, Yao Yanyu had already greeted her, and the sisters were naturally happy to see each other, and went inside with a smile.
Walking to the backyard, Yao Fengge heard bursts of laughter in the main hall, so he couldn't help but turn around and lean over to the back porch to take a quiet look. To her surprise, among the people who came to congratulate Yao Yanyi were Feng Shaochen, the eldest grandson of Prime Minister Feng, and Xiao Lin, Marquis of Jinghai.
Yao Fengge followed Yao Yanyu into the backyard, and Fang asked in surprise, "Why is Gongzi Feng here too?" β
Yao Yanyu smiled: "I don't know, he came with Marquis Xiao." In fact, whether Xiao Lin was dragged by Feng Shaochen as a shield or Feng Shaochen was dragged by Xiao Lin as a companion, Yao Yanyu really couldn't tell.
"Marquis Xiao?" Because of her pregnancy, Yao Fengge did not enter the palace with Mrs. Lu on Chinese New Year's Eve to receive the banquet, let alone know about Jinghaihou.
Yao Yanyu briefly explained a few words to Yao Fengge, and naturally didn't say anything about the dispute with Yun Yao that Xiao Lin was relieved, only that the Lantern Festival happened to be in Yujian in Zuixianlou, and the second brother talked to Xiao Hou Ye extremely speculatively, and they had something to do with the same Jinshi, so they came to congratulate him today.
"So, Marquis Xiao is also in high school?" Yao Fengge was quite surprised, how could a person who had inherited the position of marquis also come to participate in the scientific examination.
"I heard it's in the top 10." Yao Yanyu said with a smile, "If you can participate in the palace examination, maybe you can be named the champion by the emperor." β
Su Yuxuan was a little unconvinced when she heard this, and frowned and asked, "Won't it?" He is a marquis, how can he compete with others for the champion? β
Yao Fengge smiled: "It's hard to say. His grandfather is the emperor's teacher, and his articles will definitely be able to enter the emperor's eyes, and maybe he will really win the champion. β
Su Yuxuan immediately became interested and said with a smile: "Really? So, let's take a look at the style of the champion today? β
Yao Yanyu smiled: "This is really possible." β
Yao Fenggeyin asked, "How are the banquet dishes prepared?" Shall I take a look? β
"Sister Biedong, you can't be careless if you have a body, you sit and rest, I'll go." Yao Yanyu said, got up and went out, and quietly gave Su Yuyu a look.
"Wait for me! I'm going to see what's delicious, too! Seeing this, Su Yuxuan immediately followed.
The two of them went out of the house and walked to a secluded place, Yao Yanyu told Cui Wei to go to the kitchen to take a look first, and then pulled Su Yuyu closer, and whispered in her ear that King Cheng also took a fancy to Xiao Lin, and whispered about marrying Yun Yao to him, and then advised: "You only tell Sister Han about this matter when you turn around, and others are not allowed to reveal half a word." β
Su Yuxuan's eyes immediately widened, and she asked with an incredible expression, "Sister Yao, you're not joking, are you?" β
Yao Yanyu chuckled: "I'm joking with you like this? If you don't believe it, go and ask your second brother Han to go. β
Su Yuxuan didn't hear Yao Yanyu's joke, her mind was only on Han Mingcan, and after thinking for a while, Fang frowned and muttered in a low voice: "Where is this...... It's messy. β
Yao Yanyu said those words to Su Yuyun to make Su Yuyun have time to have a good time with Han Mingcan. Let Han Mingcan be prepared. If you don't like it, forget it. If you like it, start first.
Anyway, Princess Ninghua's methods are not bad, if Han Mingcan really likes someone, she has to do her best to fight for her daughter no matter how she is a mother.
Yao Yanyu sincerely hopes that Han Mingcan can be happy, and also thinks that this Jinghai Hou is a man who stands up to the sky, if these two can come together, it will not be a good story.
As for Yun Yao...... Where is she worthy of a humble gentleman like Xiao Lin? There are not many good men in the Great Cloud Dynasty, so we can't let her spoil another one.
Su Yuxuan and Han Mingcan's relationship is closer than that of sisters, before Han Mingcan said that she didn't want to marry into the Chengwang Mansion, she naturally knew, and what happened during the Lantern Festival Su Yuxuan also knew, although the smart Su San girl didn't understand Han Mingcan's thoughts about Xiao Lin, but she understood the meaning of Yao Yanyu. So he shook Yao Yanyu's hand and said, "Sister, don't worry, I know how to do it." β
Yao Yanyi set up a table at home and invited Xiao Lin, Feng Shaochen, Su Yuxiang and other friends and close relatives. The wine and food here have just been served, and before they start, there is a laugh outside: "I'm late!" Brother Yao's side is so lively. β
"Second son Han!" Xiao Lin has good ears and can already hear who the person is. With a shout, the few people who had been sitting stood up again.
Han Entropy entered the door and saw that Xiao Lin was also there, so he smiled and said, "You two high school toppers actually got together, and they happened to celebrate together, but let's go on another trip from the province." β
Yao Yanyi smiled: "Otherwise, it's not!" I'm already like this here, and I don't have much hope. Marquis Xiao still has a palace test. When he was ordered by the emperor, this meal was absolutely inevitable. β
Everyone laughed, and Han Entropy hurriedly said: "This is reasonable, I was negligent, and I will punish myself." β
Su Yuxiang smiled: "One cup is not enough, three cups." The second son is late, and he should have been punished. β
"Okay, three glasses!" Han Entropy responded sharply.
Everyone laughed again, everyone rearranged and sat down according to their grades and ages, and Yao Yanyi ordered the maid to pour wine again.
The men here were drinking happily, and Han Mingcan happily got into a mess with Yao Yanyu and Su Yuyu in the back.
Su Yuxuan put her arm around Han Mingcan's shoulders and said with a coquettish smile: "I didn't expect my sister to come too, I knew that when I came over, I would go to the eldest princess's mansion to ask my sister to come together." β
"Look, it's time to fight!" Han Mingcan raised his hand and pinched Su Yuxuan's face, "You know how to play tricks, you obviously know that I am also stuffy at home, and if I don't come to Yanyu, I am afraid of disturbing her busy business." Since there is such a happy event today, she will definitely not be able to do anything, since you are here, weishenme will not make an appointment with me? β
Su Yuyu hurriedly begged for mercy, Yao Yanyu watched the maids put the food on the table, and hurriedly greeted the two of them: "Okay, don't make trouble, come and sit." Let's have a table too. β
Yao Fengge also smiled: "Second girl, third sister, sit down and have a glass of wine before making trouble." β
Han Mingcan pulled Su Yuxuan into a seat, and laughed and ate wine with the two sisters of the Yao family.
Although Yao Fengge is older than several of them, he is a delicate and clear person, who can speak well and adjust the atmosphere. The four of them sat together, talking and laughing, more lively than the men outside.
Su Yuxuan and Han Mingcan both drank a few glasses of wine, and they were drunk, and they were even more open to laughing. The two of them didn't have much effort, and directly rolled up their sleeves and guessed the wine order. Yao Fengge was not restrained, and did his best to make trouble between the two of them.
The Yao family's house has only three courtyards in and three outs, and there is only one courtyard between the front hall and the back yard.
Han Entropy naturally heard the voices of Han Mingcan and Su Yuxuan at once, so he shook his head with a smile.
Xiao Lin said: "Listen, it's their daughter's family who drinks and is happier than us." Come! Let's come too, and we can't be compared to them. β
Su Yuxiang rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile: "I'll come with you!" β
So the two of them stood up directly and guessed the boxing. What 'eight horses', 'five leaders', screaming, upside down.
Feng Shaochen shook his head with a smile, excused himself to change his clothes, quietly hid, walked under the eaves of the porch, and called a small servant to lead the way to the clean room.
At this time, it was getting late, a bright moon rose into the sky, and the moon in the courtyard was as cool as water.
Feng Shaochen asked the little guy: "What is your name?" β
The little servant hurriedly bowed and replied: "Back to Gongzi, the slave's name is Shen Jiang." β
"That's the name of the medicine!" Feng Shaochen smiled in surprise and asked, "Who gave it to you?" β
Shen Jiang said with a smile: "Back to Gongzi, the second girl of our family took it." β
"Well, that's good. Is your surname Shin? β
"Yes, the minion's real name is Shen."
"Where are you from?"
"The slave doesn't remember, the slave went to Yundu with the villagers who fled the famine, and the family died. The slave was hard-lived, and he didn't starve to death. Later, he defected to our master. β
"It's also your blessing to be by Miss Yao's side. Miss Yao is kind and righteous, and she treats her subordinates very well, right? Feng Shaochen couldn't wait to hear more Yao Yanyu from Shen Jiang's mouth.
Shen Jiang smiled: "That's." Our girl treats people that is not said, never harshly scolded, eat, drink and wear never deducted, the most important thing is that we are not afraid of getting sick, a little headache and brain fever, the girl told the kitchen to get some medicinal porridge and drink two meals, it will be fine. β
"That's good." Feng Shaochen smiled enviously.
Out of the clean room, Shen Jiang thoughtfully led the way: "Childe, please come here." β
Feng Shaochen didn't want to go back, because he said: "I drank a little too much, stand here for a while, so I can hide a few glasses of wine and then go back." β
Shen Jiang smiled: "Do you want to sober up tea?" The slave asked someone to bring you one? β
"What kind of decanting tea?" Feng Shaochen turned around and sat on the railing under the pillars, leaning on the pillars to look at the potted plants under the eaves of the corridor and Tilan.
Shen Jiang replied: "It was our girl who ordered the kitchen to cook it." β
When Feng Shaochen heard this, he smiled and said: "Okay, you don't need to call others, everyone is busy today, I'll stand here for a while, you go and come back quickly." β
"Son, please sit down for a moment." Shen Jiang owed, and hurried to the direction of the kitchen.
As soon as the wine Feng Shaochen had just drunk was blown by the wind, he felt a little dizzy, and he didn't want to move, sitting there silently looking at the moonlight and thinking that the girl he admired was close at hand but couldn't see it, he only felt full of emotions and depression, and there was nowhere to vent. I couldn't help but groan: "It's only because of the review of the Qing Dynasty that makes me think about the Qing Dynasty and the Twilight." Yan language, Yan language, do you know the lovesickness? β
Han Mingcan had also eaten a few glasses of wine and felt that his face was hot, so he pulled Yao Yanyu out to breathe.
Unexpectedly, the two of them walked a few steps along the verandah, and they heard someone not far away who seemed to be reciting poetry, because they whispered: "It's not just someone who is drunk and crazy there." β
Yao Yanyu thought to herself that there were only a few people who came to drink in front of her, and it was definitely not Han Entropy who could recite poetry, maybe it was Xiao Lin, so she smiled and said, "Let's go around quietly from there and listen quietly through that clump of hibiscus." β
Han Mingcan whispered yes, and the two of them held hands and walked around the east for half a circle, quietly leaning over.
At this time, in late February, the hibiscus branches have only pulled out light green young leaves, and there are no buds yet. The notes swayed in the moonlight, and the sparse and shallow ones could not cover people much, and the two of them stopped at a distance of more than a zhang.
Han Mingcan's eyes were sharp, and he saw at a glance that the person was Feng Shaochen, and he smiled because he covered his mouth.
Over there, Feng Shaochen was still immersed in his own emotions, and the poetry was just right, chanting over and over again: "The small words of acacia can't be written, and the heart is as far away as a cloud." But there is no bottom.
Yao Yanyu didn't like these sour poems the most, so she quietly laughed: "There's a love seed here, let's go." β
Han Mingcan didn't have a good impression of a son like Feng Shaochen, who was ignorant of the world and only knew about the wind and snow, so he smiled and pulled Yao Yanyu to turn around and walk back.
As soon as the clinker took two steps, he heard Feng Shaochen sigh faintly, and muttered to himself: "Yan Yu, I can't eat for you, I can't sleep at night, I just want to join hands with you to ...... white-headed."
Yao Yanyu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised her hand to cover her mouth and walked away. Han Mingcan was a little confused, glanced back at Feng Shaochen, sighed and hurriedly chased after him.
Over there, Shen Jiang was already carrying a bowl of hot sobering tea, Feng Shaochen took it and drank two sips, and couldn't help but sigh.
Han Mingcan hurriedly chased after Yao Yanyu, Yao Yanyu ran back to the verandah, leaned on the pillar and laughed breathlessly, holding his stomach and 'oops'. Seeing that she was fine, Han Mingcan was relieved, and said angrily: "You girl, what are you running?" Aren't you afraid of being heard by him? β
"Oops...... I...... Oh my mother! Yao Yanyu laughed so hard that her stomach hurt, and she couldn't say anything, "This one...... It's funny, right? β
Han Mingcan smiled and said, "You, don't be in the midst of blessings and don't know blessings." You must know that they are the grandsons of the prime minister, and how many girls in Yundu City are worried about it. You still can't look down on it? β
Yao Yanyu laughed so hard that she simply sat on the railing, shook her head and said, "I'm really sorry, I really don't like this." Whoever likes it will take it home quickly! Don't let it out and harm people. β
"I know, I know! You don't like this kind of weak scholar! Han Mingcan smiled pointedly, "What about the person you like...... Must be tall and mighty, handsome and handsome...... Yes! By the way, the key is to be able to ride a horse, at least not to let you fall off the horse. Well...... It's okay to fall, I have to be able to use it as a human cushion for you at a critical time...... Burst! Speaking of which, Han Mingcan couldn't help himself and burst out laughing.
"What are you two talking about, it's so lively!" Su Yuxuan found it out of it, saw the two of them standing under the corridor and laughing at each other, and said dissatisfiedly: "The wine and food are cold, you two sisters are laughing here, leaving me alone in the house." It's too unrighteous, isn't it? β
Han Mingcan originally thought that Yao Yanyu would be angry because Feng Shaochen was talking like that to her behind her back, but he didn't want her to laugh like this, so he pulled Su Yuyu and learned from Feng Shaochen's affectionate appearance, and sighed: "Yanyu, I can't swallow for you, I can't sleep at night, I just want to join hands with you to ...... white-headed."
"Ugh! Ahem...... Su Yuxuan was immediately choked by her own saliva, "Isn't it?" Ahem...... Who is this? Is there such a crush on my sister Yao? β
Yao Yanyu immediately straightened up and glared. Han Mingcan pretended to be scared and hid behind Su Yuxuan, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to say, look at her amazing appearance!" hahaβ¦β¦β
Su Yuyu asked Yao Yanyu again, Yao Yanyu snorted, pulled Su Yuyu and feigned anger and said, "It's a shame that both of us call her sister, and she just makes fun of her sister?" Don't ask, even you will be joking if you ask again. β
"I didn't say anything. If you want to be angry, you should find the right master, but don't wronged the good people. Han Mingcan sat down next to the two with a smile, raised his hand to wrap his arm around Su Yuyu's shoulder, and looked at Yao Yanyu with a smile, "Hey, don't say it, Sister Yao is a big celebrity now, how many sons and brothers in this Yundu City are worried about you." What kind of general is that, it's really 'a long way to go'! β
Su Yuxuan asked in wonder, "What general?" Sister Yao, which general do you like? β
"Don't listen to Sister Han's nonsense." Yao Yanyu immediately retorted, "I don't like anyone." I just like you both. I only hope that our three good sisters can continue to be good for a long time, no matter what happens in the future, no matter who marries whom, whether they can get together often, and I hope that our hearts towards each other will not change. β
As soon as these words came out, Han Mingcan and Su Yuxuan both accepted the look of joke.
Su Yuyu first reached out to hold Yao Yanyu's hand, then held Han Mingcan's with the other hand, and then folded the two hands to press the hands of the two of them together, and said in a low voice: "I have you two good sisters, and I am content in this life." β
Han Mingcan sighed: "People say that a hundred years of cultivation can be crossed by the same boat, and a thousand years of cultivation can be slept together." We are sisters who have been cultivated for 10,000 years. β
"Okay, ten thousand years of cultivation to get sister flowers." Yao Yanyu repeated with a low smile.
"That's right! We are sisters who have been cultivated for 10,000 years! Su Yuxuan also smiled.
The moonlight melts, the evening breeze is blowing, and on this cool night in early spring, the three good sisters hug and laugh at each other, and make the most important vows in their lives.
It was already three watches when everyone dispersed that night.
Han Entropy, Xiao Lin, Feng Shaochen, Su Yuxiang and others were all drunk, and when they went back, they all changed to carriages.
Yao Fengge couldn't hold back to go home first when he was on the second watch, Su Yuxuan was already drunk, and was served by Cuiwei and others and fell asleep. Han Mingcan's carriage gave Han Entropy, and she simply stayed for one night and came back the next day.
Yao Yanyi was also drunk and unconscious, Feng Youcun and Yao Sixi sent the guests away, and assigned people to pack up their things and it was almost dawn the day after tomorrow.
That night, Han Mingcan and Yao Yanyu slept together, drunk and hazy, Yao Yanyu couldn't help but tell Han Mingcan about King Cheng's request to the emperor to marry Yun Yao and Xiao Lin.
Han Mingcan was silent for a long time, and then chuckled: "Sister don't worry about me, I have already wanted to open it." I can let go of my cousin Junze, who else in this world I can't let go? That Jinghaihou and I are only one side, although I also admire his personality, but in the end I am not familiar with it. Besides...... Besides, what if the two are happy? If the emperor wants to give marriage, can I still let him disobey the holy decree? β
Yao Yanyu only felt distressed when she heard this, stretched out her arm and put it on Han Mingcan's shoulder, and persuaded in a low voice: "Sister, you are so good, there will definitely be someone who loves you wholeheartedly, grows old with you, and has a full house of children and grandchildren." β
"Well, that's what I thought too." Han Mingcan reached out and pinched Yao Yanyu's face, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's not early, go to sleep, you still have to be busy tomorrow." β
Yao Yanyu nodded, closed her eyes, and when the hazy sleepiness invaded, she heard Han Mingcan say in a trance: "Sister, don't worry, we will all be happy." β
A few days later, the Qianyuan Hall of the Yundu Imperial Palace held a duplex for the head armor jinshi selected by Enke this time. On the third day after the duplex, still in the Qianyuan Palace, the emperor will personally make the questions and conduct the palace examination.
At the twilight of the solstice, the palace test volume was collected and handed over to the emperor for preview, and then the emperor circled the candidates for the champion, the list of eyes, and the flowers.
After the palace test paper was submitted, Xiao Lin only felt relaxed, and wanted to find a place to have a good drink after going back, but Huai En, the chief eunuch in front of the emperor, hurriedly followed, and after Huai En stopped Xiao Hou Ye, he arched his hand and smiled: "Hou Ye, please stay." The emperor sends you into the imperial study. β
"Oh. Good. Xiao Lin sighed in his heart that a good meal of wine was soaked again, but a smile appeared on his face, and he raised his hand and said, "There is Gonggong Lao to lead the way." β
In the imperial study, the emperor was holding a sprinkling test paper and reading it intently. After Huaien brought the people here, he bowed down and replied: "Go back to Bixia, Jinghaihou has arrived." β
The emperor didn't raise his head, but said, "Oh, pass it in." β
After Xiao Lin entered, he knelt on the ground and bowed. The emperor waved his hand and said, "Zirun, get up." β
"Thank you, Emperor Longen." Xiao Lin changed his bohemian appearance in the past, thanked him respectfully and cautiously, got up, and stood with his hands down.
"I've seen this piece of your strategy. Very good. has the courage and insight of Xiao Lao back then, and it really lives up to the family heirloom. "The test paper in the emperor's hand is Xiao Lin's palace test paper.
Xiao Lin bowed again: "The minister is afraid." Grandfather's learning, the minister may not be able to comprehend a thing or two. The emperor's words, the ministers dare not be it. β
The emperor raised the test paper in his hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to be modest. This policy is aimed at today's current politics. There is a saying, 'This time, that time.'" Your remarks are incisive. It seems that in the years you have been in the south, you have not only studied hard, but also cared about political affairs. β
"The emperor's grace is vast, the quasi-ministers are cultivating themselves in the fiefdom, and the ministers can't repay the emperor's grace when they ask themselves, so they can only study hard, hoping to share the emperor's worries on the day."
The emperor smiled and put the test paper back in his hand, turned around and sat behind the dragon case, raised his hand to pick up a cup of tea, blew the end of the tea, and suddenly instructed Huaien: "Sit down." Serve tea to Jinghaihou. β
"Your Majesty." Xiao Lin hurriedly bowed down and sat down, but he couldn't really sit down, his butt was only touching a little edge of the stool, and he was sitting upright.
The emperor took a sip of tea and said, "However, you are still young." I have high hopes for you, and I want to train you a lot. The first place in this palace examination will not be called on you. You can be an example. β
Xiao Lin didn't expect the emperor to say such a thing to himself, which was completely unexpected by him, because he was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses, hurriedly stood up, knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank the emperor for his grace." β
"As for the position...... Rong Zhen was thinking about it. The emperor muttered, "However, although you are a marquis, in the end, you are still a newcomer to the temple to participate in political affairs, and you should still start from the bottom." β
"Yes." Xiao Lin was busy and kowtowed to show his loyalty, "It is the honor of the minister to be able to serve the emperor." The minister will do his best and do his best. β
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Get up, sit down and talk." β
Xiao Lin thanked the emperor again, and then got up and sat down.
The emperor asked again: "Zirun, if I'm not mistaken, you are twenty-two this year, right?" β
Xiao Lin also smiled, and hurriedly bowed his head: "The emperor actually remembers the minister's Nian Geng, and the minister is really flattered." β
"Speaking of which, your father once studied with me in front of Xiao Lao, and although he was my companion, he was like a brother. The year you were born, I also went to Jiangnan. Then...... How many months are you? β
Xiao Lin hurriedly said: "The emperor forgives the sin, the minister doesn't remember this." β
βhahaοΌβ The emperor smiled and pointed at Xiao Lin, "You guy!" If you can remember things at a few months old, wouldn't you be a child prodigy? β
"That's what the emperor said." Xiao Lin said with a smile.
"Time flies!" The emperor sighed with emotion, "In a blink of an eye, you are already an adult." β
Xiao Lin couldn't figure out what the emperor meant, so he didn't dare to answer.
The emperor looked at Xiao Lin and felt that the more this young man looked at it, the more pleasing it became, no wonder the seventh brother liked him, and he liked it himself. So he smiled and said, "Xiao Lao is seventy-six this year, right?" Don't you look forward to holding your grandson? β
Xiao Lin hurriedly said: "Grandfather has a training: a gentleman should stand up first, and then start a family." The minister has achieved nothing so far, where dare to think about starting a family. β
"That's very biased!" The emperor smiled and shook his head, "There is a way, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great." β
Xiao Lin naturally couldn't say that what the emperor said was wrong, but what my grandfather said was right, so he hurriedly said: "What the emperor taught is a lesson." β
However, what Xiao Lao said also makes sense. A good man should be the first to make contributions, and the love of children is last. Besides, the Xiao family is also the home of Zhong Ming Dingshi, the family of poetry, books and etiquette, you Xiao Lin is not bad at learning, and when I look back, I will choose a family business for you. The emperor laughed.
Xiao Lin hurriedly got up and knelt down and kowtowed, "The ministers have been eating the monarch for more than ten years, and they have not reported a trace of royal kindness." How dare he beg for such an honor? The minister was sincerely afraid. β
"In my eyes, you are like my nephew. Your father died for the country, and it is only natural that I will arrange a marriage for you. β
Xiao Lin's heart flashed Han Mingcan's dignified and generous face, and he didn't know which daughter the emperor was going to marry him.
But no matter how he thought about it, Xiao Lin felt that the emperor's marriage had little to do with Han Mingcan. Because if it was Han Mingcan, Han Entropy would not be able to give any hints.
But if it weren't for Han Mingcan, Xiao Lin would not be reconciled. It's okay if he doesn't have a heart for anyone, but once he is tempted, if he wants to give up for life, it is really painful.
But in an instant, Xiao Lin's heart has turned a thousand times.
zuihou, he still gritted his teeth secretly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said loudly: "Back to the emperor, the minister came to Beijing this time, and happened to meet a girl. It was love at first sight. It's just that...... The minister still doesn't know if this girl is also interested in the minister, so she has not dared to be presumptuous. So ......" said this, Xiao Lin fell silent. Although he is smart and arrogant, he is not tactful enough.
"Oh?" The emperor smiled, "Whose girl do you have a crush on, tell me about it?" β
"Back to the emperor, the minister looked at the lanterns during the Japanese Festival, and was hit on the head by the silver bills of the second girl of the Zhenguo Mansion, Jinshi and Di, and the minister looked up and saw Miss Han, and fell in love at first sight. After that, Chan really went to high school. So these days, Chen has been thinking that if he can share his head with Miss Han, he will have no regrets in this life. β
