Chapter 191: Putting on a show
Qi Ze hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Qi Run survive.
Qi Run stared at Qi Xue with a pair of round eyes: "Dad, did Your Majesty really say that when I am injured, I can go to the Guozijian?" ”
Qi Xue patted Qi Run on the head: "This can still be fake, Liu Rui's father-in-law in the palace personally sent something and personally passed on His Majesty's dictation, it really can't be true." ”
While talking, Qi Xue was happy.
Qi Run still couldn't believe it: "How can this be? His Majesty had reprimanded me before, but in the blink of an eye, it had become a reward again? ”
He really couldn't understand what Emperor Chengping thought, just like he didn't understand why he was born in a family and didn't do anything wrong, so he couldn't compare to Yun Lang, who was born in a poor family.
Qi Xue laughed twice and sat down, and whispered to Qi Run: "Just now, your sixth uncle asked someone to pass the word, saying that Princess Changle spoke for us, and Princess Changle asked for a bird feather satin from Mrs. Qi Zhuangyuan to give to His Majesty, and interceded for us, and His Majesty changed his mind. ”
Speaking of this, Qi Xue lowered his voice again: "Your sixth uncle also said that although Mrs. Qi is also from the Yun family, and Yun Lang is a sister and brother, she has always been on good terms with the Yun family. ”
As he was talking, Mrs. Qi Xue came over and took a few delicate toys in her hand and put them on the bedside for Qi Run: "It's time to thank you, no, Mrs. Qi really knows the number of etiquette, knowing that our Run'er was injured, she specially selected a lot of playware and medicinal materials to send them, saying that it was to make amends for the Yun family, and told us not to be like Yun Lang." ”
After hearing this, Qi Run had a little more affection for Qi Zhuangyuan and his wife, who had only heard of the name, and at the same time, the previous depression and grievances also disappeared, and he finally had a smile on his face.
No wonder the Qi family is so excited.
It's really too much of a temptation from Guozijian.
Since the time of Taizong, the Great Zhou Dynasty set up the Guozijian, and selected outstanding sons from all over the country to study in the Guozijian, and there were also children of meritorious families who entered the Guozijian.
All students who enter the national sub-prison can directly participate in the unified examination of the general examination without taking the township examination. After getting the middle school, he is a jinshi.
Guozijian set up a great Confucian master to teach students, coupled with the students' own intelligence and hard work, about half of the people in the first examination Guozijian can be admitted to the Jinshi.
Looking at the infinite scenery of entering the country, the future is bright. But no one knows how difficult it is to enter the Guozijian, there are rules for the number of Guozijian, and the maximum number of people cannot exceed eighty-one, so many students in the country, how many officials there are in Chang'an City alone. How many people want to enter the national prison as if they are red-eyed, but they have no real skills, or their parents will never be able to enter without great merits.
Qi Run is a talent, he must be able to pass the examination to be eligible to apply for admission to the Guozijian, it turns out that the Qi family has the idea of Qi Run's entry into the Guozijian after the lift.
Unexpectedly, Qi Run allowed him to enter the national prison before he participated in the township test, and this reward was really too heavy.
Qi Run grabbed his mother's hand and said excitedly: "If it weren't for Mrs. Qi's bird feather satin, Your Majesty would not have asked me to enter the National Prison, you know, Your Majesty can only recommend one person to enter the National Prison, and he gave the quota to his son." In the future, it is no longer possible to promote other people's children to enter, which can be seen...... It can be seen that this time we are stained with Mrs. Qi's light, and Mrs. Qi also apologized to us, which really makes people don't know what to say, mother, you have to prepare a generous gift to thank Mrs. Qi. ”
The Qi family is not so rampant, but knows the etiquette very well, and Mrs. Qi was happy when she heard it: "My mother knows it in my heart, my son can rest assured, my mother will go to prepare a generous gift in a while." Definitely a generous gift. ”
Qi Xue added: "Prepare another gift for Princess Changle, and thank her for helping." ”
"Yes, yes, I should thank his sixth aunt." Mrs. Qi nodded busily. In his words, he deliberately narrowed the relationship with Princess Changle.
Qi Run lay on the bed and looked at Qi Xue very proudly: "When I get better of my injuries and enter the country to study, I don't know how many people I have to envy, if that kid from the Yun family knows about this, he may not be jealous." ”
Qi Xue was angry and funny: "Okay, don't be complacent, it's the key to recuperate quickly." Heal your injuries earlier, and come with me to visit Master Zhengmei, the prison supervisor of the country. ”
"Yes." Qi Run respectfully agreed, and sure enough, he lay on the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate.
This Mrs. Qi saw that her son was asleep, and immediately went out to rummage through the cabinets and found many exquisite and valuable objects and sent them to the Qi family, and specially prepared a heavy gift and personally took it to the princess's mansion to thank Princess Changle.
Qi Zhen and the old lady of the Qi family knew about this matter, and they were very satisfied with Princess Changle's maintenance of her family, and thought that Qi Run would be a blessing in disguise this time, although he was beaten, he was able to enter the national prison without hurting his muscles and bones, which was really unexpected, so his attitude towards Princess Changle was much better, not to mention how the old lady of the Qi family praised Princess Changle.
Even Qi Zhen spoke softly to the princess, and said a lot of sweet words, and the relationship between the two was almost restored to the point where they were like glue when they got married.
Although Princess Changle also knew that Qi Zhen had no long-term affection, and now she looked good to her, but in a few days, I am afraid that the old illness will recur again, and she will be mixed with the sweet brothers and sisters of those singers in the house, but she can also be used for a day, and she has not cared too much.
Not to mention Princess Changle and Qi Zhen.
It is said that Yun Yao got the gifts from the Qi family and Princess Changle's mansion, and for a while she added a lot of good things to the family.
Coupled with the fact that she finally set a date for marriage with the Xiao family, Yun Yao had to be busy preparing a dowry for Qi Yinzhu.
Fortunately, she had already thought of it, and in the winter of last year, she asked someone to buy a lot of leather medicinal materials in Beiliang, and this spring she brought a lot of good wood from the south, and also hired craftsmen to make furniture.
Speaking of which, Yun Yao was quite satisfied with Qi Jing's errand.
Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Works, is in charge of building houses, gardens, the streets and walls of Chang'an City, etc., in addition, he is also in charge of some furniture additions in the royal courtyard.
Because there are many miscellaneous things, Qi Jing's top craftsmen are not old and young, in order to make the dowry of several sisters, Qi Jing can be regarded as a fake public help, and specially invited several good craftsmen with apprentices to help make furniture.
Naturally, it is not in vain to invite people, the salary given by the Qi family is much higher than that given by the Ministry of Industry, plus three good meals a day, the Qi family treats people politely and speaks well, and they don't scold at night. These craftsmen are naturally willing to come over to do the work, and the work they do is also very meticulous, and even Yun Yao has to say good when he sees the furniture he makes.
In addition to these, Yun Yao asked someone to get a lot of fabrics from Suzhou and Hangzhou. I asked the embroidery lady to help make clothes.
She was busy for a few days and prepared a lot of things, and in a blink of an eye, Master Xiao arrived in Chang'an, and Qi Laoniu took Qi Jing and Master Xiao to meet again. The two sides talked once, and Master Xiao was extremely satisfied with the family background and character of the Qi family, although it was said that Qi Yinzhu's appearance was not good, but Master Xiao really didn't dare to force it.
First, Xiao Zhi is happy, what can Master Xiao say, and secondly, Xiao Zhi is a concubine, Qi Yinzhu is a serious concubine, and the Qi family's willingness to marry Qi Yinzhu to Xiao Zhi is already unprecedented. If he wants to dislike people's parents again, he must not point his nose at and scold people.
Therefore, Master Xiao only said that he was satisfied, and did not put forward any opinions.
Master Xiao went to Chang'an to arrange Xiao Zhi's marriage this time, but he brought a lot of silver taels, and after he came, he began to buy a dowry.
The two families were a little nervous about the day, and Master Xiao was in a hurry to hold the dowry, and he was busy every day without touching the ground.
Finally, on May 16, the dowry was completed, and someone was invited to beat gongs and drums to carry it to Qi's house, because there were specifications for Xiao Zhi's brother to marry his daughter-in-law. Xiao Zhi can't surpass his brother, so the dowry purchased by the Xiao family is decent, so that people can't find thorns. But it's not very outstanding.
The Qi family is not a family that pays attention to these, seeing that the dowry is over, after receiving the dowry, they began to post to relatives and friends, inviting these people to participate in Yinzhu's wedding.
For Yinzhu's marriage, Qi Xiao's two families were busy. Qi Baohua also had to help at home, and he didn't have much time to send food to Yu Long, and the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, so Yu Long was a little dissatisfied.
On this day, Yu Long came to Qi's house under the pretext of helping out, and helped Qi Laoniu do something, so he quietly slipped to the backyard to talk to Qi Baohua.
The two of them talked sweetly for a while, and Yu Long left with the food box that Qi bottle gave him.
Yu Long didn't dare to go home after taking the good food, for fear that his sister-in-law would take advantage of it again and rob him of his food, so he found a teahouse halfway and sat down to finish eating, and asked for a few snacks from the teahouse and put them in the food box and brought them home to honor his parents.
He hasn't been home for a long time, Yu San and Wu miss him a lot, and he is naturally happy to see him come back, Wu smiled and pulled Yu Long to sit down, looked at Yu Long for a long time before saying: "My son has lost weight, in the end, he can't eat or sleep well in the military camp, it's not as comfortable as at home, son, let's move back to live, the Xu family kid is not living in our house now." ”
Yu Long shook his head: "The military camp is far away, and it is inconvenient for me to go back and forth, so it is more convenient to live in the military camp." ”
While talking, he took out the snacks in the food box and gave them to Wu Shi and Yu San.
The old couple was also very happy to see their son's filial piety, and they were happy to eat snacks, and at this time, the Xu family came in.
Xu's face was pale, thin and weak like a weak willow helping the wind, and after coming in, he held his stomach, and Wu immediately beckoned to her when he saw it: "Don't sit down quickly, don't be tired, be careful." ”
Waiting for Xu to sit down, Wu smiled at Long: "Second brother, our family has a great happy event these days, your sister-in-law is happy, you will be an uncle soon." ”
Yu Long was also very happy when he heard it, no matter what the Xu family's character was, what she was pregnant with in her stomach was the Yu family's species, and she was Yu Long's own nephew, and Yu Long was naturally full of joy for Yu Qi.
Xu Shi saw Yu Long smile, touched the lower abdomen that was not visible at all, and pinched his throat with a tone of voice: "I heard that it was hard to have a child, I thought that others were talking nonsense, but I only knew that what I said was true when I got here, and I ...... I couldn't eat anything these days, and my legs were weak when I walked hungry. ”
Wu Shi was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "How is it now, are you better?" If you're not feeling well, stay in the room, and don't wait with me. ”
Xu Shi lowered his head and his eyes were red: "It's still like that now, I can't eat anything, and I'm nothing, but now that I have a child, I'm afraid that if I get hungry, what will happen to the child." ”
Wu Shi was even more anxious, and had to comfort Xu: "Don't be afraid, most women are pregnant, even if you can't eat it, you have to struggle to eat some, tell your mother what you want to eat, or ask the boss to buy it for you from outside." ”
Xu Shi touched his stomach: "I don't have anything I want to eat, but I have long heard of the good dishes made by my second brother and sister in the future, I think the taste must be wonderful, if I can taste a few bites, I can't say that I will open my appetite." ”
Her words made Wu Shi and Yu San look at Yu Long. (To be continued.) )
