Wearing an old man at the level of a "grandmother", and he likes to be lively, Gu Qing said that he didn't mind having more children.

The following is the anti-theft chapter, please wait for me ten minutes to replace it. Read this chapter in ten minutes, thank you

But judging from Li Jun's previous signs, this "young grandmother in the family" and "younger brother in the family" are not good to him.

Although she knows that the distinction between concubines and concubines in this world is very strict, and she has no good impression of the so-called concubines and concubines, but everyone has a preconceived concept. Li Jun has been with them for four months since he went to Beijing before the Chinese New Year, he is a good boy and gets along well with everyone, Gu Qing subconsciously doesn't want him to feel embarrassed.

But there is no reason to leave the concubine and let the concubine go back, and she doesn't know what kind of child this concubine is, and she can't jump to conclusions that he will embarrass Li Jun if he comes.

So she called Li Jun here.

"Your family's letter ......" Gu Qing paused, "Your father is very happy that you can be admitted to Gongsheng, and the person who delivered the letter from your family came to Beijing and brought you a letter." ”

A month after the spring festival is the palace exam, and now there are no more days.

Li Jun happily thanked his grandmother and took his father's letter.

"Also, your mother handed over a letter." The "mother" Gu Qing said was naturally Li Jun's mother-in-law.

An aunt cannot be called a "mother".

When Li Jun heard his mother-in-law's letter, he immediately straightened his face and listened to the lesson.

What would my grandmother say? Will you sneer at him? Or will you compliment him on a good job? Or just tell him that since his wings have grown stiff, he should never go back?

Li Jun felt that with his mother-in-law's character, he was probably the last one.

"Your mother said that your younger brother is old, and he only knows how to play, and hopes that he can also become a talent, so he will ask his family to send him to Beijing to study, hoping to make a name for himself in the future." Gu Qing couldn't help but laugh and said, "How old is your younger brother?" ”

Li Jun came to participate in the spring examination only after passing the township examination and the provincial examination, and it was only two months from the spring examination to the palace examination, even if you add the time to go to Beijing in advance to prepare for the exam and the time for the official selection to wait for the assigned work, it will not be more than one year at most. Once Li Jun gets a foreign job, I am afraid that he will have to leave Beijing immediately.

Unless he gets the quota of Beijing officials, and Li Mao tries his best to keep it, Li Jun is afraid that he will not stay in the Xinguo Mansion for a long time.

But how long does it take to "study in Beijing and gain fame"? If you don't get fame in the test all the time, wouldn't you have to read the earth in the capital until the earth is desolate?

That's why Gu Qing couldn't cry or laugh.

This young grandmother from her hometown seems to regard their family as the kind of powerful person who can make people famous with just a few words.

Not to mention, she used to think that there were people in her family who were good officials in the court, but after wearing it, she realized that the real powerful people were not so selfish.

"My younger brother Chu Zhao is just twelve this year." Li Jun said with a wry smile. "Learning...... It's just literacy. ”

Gu Qing blinked. "Just literacy?"

Li Jun didn't dare to say that he couldn't read all the words. His younger brother sometimes plays sword and sword dance at home, but Master Wu said that in fact, martial arts training is also very average, and he can't read books at all.

If this younger brother was better, he wouldn't have had such a hard time.

Gu Qing nodded. "I understand, then I'll arrange him in the West Garden, do you think it's okay?"

Li Jun secretly complained in his heart, but he still bowed down and said, "Let Grandmother Tang arrange it." ”

Seeing that Li Jun was obviously battered, Gu Qing once again felt disgusted by the ancient system of three wives and four concubines.

What kind of sister-in-law, can the child decide whose belly to climb out of? Li Jun's phobia is psychogenic, what kind of disgust and fear do you need to make Li Jun, who was a child back then, give birth to "gynophobia"?

I just hope that a child who is not too bearish will come.

"I can probably understand why the mother-in-law in Young Master Tang's hometown is so unfair." Mama Hua sighed and said, "This concubine is so much older than her concubine, and she can't stand it if any housewife is good-tempered." ”

Even if this grandmother didn't fall out of favor, I'm afraid it wouldn't be much better. This child was born before the marriage of this concubine and the cousin, and there was a concubine six or seven years after birth.

Mama Hua suddenly felt disdain for the tutor of her cousin in Jingnan's hometown.

But anyone who is particular about it will not let it go so far.

It is said that the house is preparing for another young master to come, and Li Ming, who is practicing bow horses with his brother in the West Garden Elementary School, glared at him with an expression that was about to be eaten, and said, "Forty times to draw the bow?!" ”

Woo woo woo, he doesn't have the strange power of his brother, so he actually has to pull forty times?

It almost killed him!

Li Rui took a small bow specially made for his younger brother, and said funny: "You have only pulled forty times, and you are already suffering from this face?" I used to pull 60 times, and I didn't have a wrench. This is a small bow that is easy to pull apart. ”

"Really?"

"Really."

Li Ming took the bow, clasped the bowstring with his wrench, and pulled it away with a whoosh.

"Oh oh oh oh! It's so easy! ”

It didn't take long for a stick of incense.

"Brother, can I stop pulling? My arm is so sore, I can't pull it......"

"Okay."!!

"Hey, hey, hey! Brother, why are you talking so well today? ”

"I didn't expect you to pull forty. I wanted to see what your arm strength and stamina look like. ”

Li Ming dropped the bow with a "snap", and suddenly jumped on Li Rui's back and bit it indiscriminately.

"I'll bite you to death! I know that I am bullying people! ”

"Don't make a fuss, it's so itchy!"

Li Ming, who was teased by Li Rui every time, finally embarked on the right path of "archery". Li Rui, like what Master Jiang taught him, started with etiquette.

Li Ming was constantly adjusted by his brother, and then held a bow and arrow to practice how to "stand" and "shoot". As Li Rui said, the family was born in martial arts, and if the children in the family can't even bow and horse, they don't need to say that they are the Li family in the future.

Li Ming pulled the small bow, and suddenly said: "Brother, do you know the way?" I heard that the younger brother of the lobby brother is coming......"

"Calm down!"

"What kind of person do you think that second cousin is? Do you get along well? ”

"Don't get distracted when you pull the strings!"

"But it's boring, brother......"

Li Rui covered his eyes weakly with his hands, knowing that Lu Dao had called Master Jiang or Master Wang to teach him archery, he confidently came to teach his younger brother to practice bow and arrow, and the result was that what became a pleasant frolic and chatting rhythm in the end!

Can you still practice archery well!

"You can rest first." Li Rui looked helplessly at Li Ming, who immediately dropped his bow. "Pick up the bow and put it away. Weapons are life-saving, how can they be discarded at will! ”

Li Ming pouted and picked up the little bow.

It's just a toy bow, not a real longbow!

My brother knows how to train people all day long!

"Also, when Li Zhao comes over, don't call the lobby brother the lobby brother. Just call Cousin Jun. Li Rui took his younger brother to rest under the canopy. Li Zhao is the eldest son in the family, according to the ranking, he is your cousin. ”

"But I'm used to shouting...... Li Ming said sullenly, "I don't like this new cousin, as soon as I heard that the cousin had survived, I immediately came to join ......."

"What did Grandma say?"

"Don't speculate about what kind of person they are until you get along with them, and don't follow them.

"You see, when the lobby brother came, you also told me that you thought the lobby brother was annoying. But now, aren't you and your cousin getting along very well? When I go out, I also accompany you to read and write. Li Rui said seriously: "Maybe this cousin named Li Zhao is also a good person." ”

"Oh." Li Ming's face fell, "I hope so." Why is it not a cousin? ”

Woo woo woo, why is the youngest one so annoying! When will the baby in my mother's womb come out!

Three days later.

……

Li Rui looked at the impatient child in front of him, and really had the urge to directly pick him up and throw him into the house.

He said that if he can't go, he can't go!

"Why don't you open the door?" Li Zhao looked at this cousin unhappily, "Isn't my cousin's family welcoming me?" ”

His mother said that maybe his brother would speak ill of him and make his cousin's family not accept him. But he didn't expect to give a dismount just after he came! His guests are always open to greet them! What is this walking through the small door next to you!

"Our mansion is a mansion of forgiveness, and the main gate is open only to welcome the royal envoy and the royal family, or when the master of the mansion has a happy event. My father and my grandmother had the same title as the Prince, so they could enter and exit through the main entrance, and juniors like us could only enter from both sides even when we went home. Li Rui patiently explained to him.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, he had already explained that the carriage was going to go through the side door first, but this cousin didn't know what he was doing inappropriately, and saw that he just opened the corner door next to the main entrance and let him walk in, and he actually had a somewhat unhappy look.

Does he think this is the compound of his hometown in Jingnan? No matter how open the main door is, it won't be opened for him as a white child!

My cousin, why are you taking the palace test today!

"Okay, what the lobby brother says is what it is." Li Zhao said something that seemed to be complaining and unconvinced, and asked his family to follow the subordinates of the Xinguo Mansion to drive the carriage around from behind, and then instructed the little servant to take his baggage, and followed Li Rui into the corner gate.

After passing the instrument gate, Li Zhao opened his mouth and looked left and right. I didn't think it was outside the house before, but after I came in, I felt that it was so big, so beautiful, and there were so many people!

The people in the capital are really completely different from his! His family is already a rare big family in Wuyang County!

Li Rui took Li Zhao all the way in, he is a junior, and he must have to give a gift to his grandmother first. Li Zhao looked around as he walked, Li Rui thought that he was still a child, but he didn't know how to hide it, he just looked at it when he was curious, such a character was also straightforward, and the impatience that Qi had just raised with him at the gate of the mansion was reduced a little.

Li Zhao followed Li Rui through the verandah, and saw many small fish swimming in the lake under the verandah, and couldn't help but open his eyes round.

"Are these koi fish?" He had heard at home that rich people would raise carp in the water, specifically for people to see, and this was the first time he had seen koi!

There are so many lotus flowers in this lake, you can eat lotus pods and water chestnuts in summer, which is really good!

"Well, this is a fish fry from the south, and it's not common even in Beijing." Li Rui saw that this cousin was interested in carp, so he simply stopped and took him to have a look.

He pointed to the carp in the water and said: "This white one is called Silver Scale Qiucui, the dark one is the one that turns evil into good fortune, the flower one is the Five Blessings, and the red and white one has a ......bright future."

Li Zhao kept nodding. "These names are good. It's just, is it really raised and not killed and eaten? Don't you eat it when you die of old age? ”

"I don't eat it. An ordinary one of these fish costs a lot of silver. Do you want to eat fish? We have a fish in our house that specializes in cooking. Li Rui listened to Li Zhao's question, and said with a dumb smile: "These carp are just raised." ”

"What a waste...... Li Zhao shook his head regretfully.

Such a fat fish, you can only look at it, what a waste.

After the hand-copying verandah, there were carved beams and painted buildings all the way, and some girls and subordinates along the way saw Li Rui leading a child over, followed by a few unfamiliar little girls, and they knew that Lu Dao was another young master in Jingnan's hometown.

A few of them were on an errand in Zhiyun Courtyard, and they hurriedly came forward to greet them, and several others saw them, and hurriedly turned around and went to Zhiyun Courtyard to report the news.

The young master of the cousin is different from the young master of the concubine, when Li Jun came, according to the rules, Gu Qing couldn't even stand up to greet him, but Li Zhao came, Gu Qing took the girls and mothers-in-law to greet him at the door of the outer room under the persuasion of Mama Hua.

If she still sits still, although no one will say anything, it will not make people think that her cousin has a big shelf.

Gu Qing watched Li Rui come in with a little child with a round face, and subconsciously smiled at him.

This child's facial features are very similar to the Li family, only the face is round, and the eyebrows are quite light, probably inherited from his mother.

Li Zhao saw that the girls at the door were hugging an old lady in purple, and naturally knew that this was his grandmother, so he immediately took a few steps forward and knelt down to greet him, and when he raised his head, Li Zhao was stunned and blurted out:

"This cousin, why are you so young!"

Li Zhao's grandmother has been working hard when she was young, and she has no leisure when she is old, so she naturally looks very old. Gu Qing has been paying attention to maintenance since she came, and she has adjusted her diet, and her skin has improved a lot, plus she is originally a young person, and her demeanor and expression are not the kind of steady and sophisticated appearance that elderly people often have......

Therefore, Li Zhao saw that this grandmother looked much younger than his own grandmother, and he didn't know how much younger Lu Dao was, so he was surprised.

At this moment, Gu Qing's mouth couldn't close when she smiled, and the girls behind Gu Qing also laughed. Li Ming, who was beside Gu Qing, looked at this new cousin curiously, and saw that he made his grandmother laugh, and he also had a good impression of him.

"You are really good at talking, my grandmother is not young, she is almost sixty years old." As soon as Gu Qing talked about his age, he felt aggrieved in his heart, and hurriedly skipped this paragraph. "Don't all stand at the door, come in."

After some greetings, Gu Qing introduced Li Ming to Li Zhao, and gave him a meeting gift, which was a set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone like Li Jun, but the box was slightly framed and more beautiful.

Li Zhao also presented the gift list brought by his family, and said to Gu Qing:

"My mother asked me to bring some silver to Beijing, I have to use money for food and clothing in the house, my mother said that I can't take advantage of the house, and asked me to return the money to the public, and the expenses for food and clothing will be deducted in the future."

He felt a little smug in his heart. He is a son-in-law, he wants to go out, the family specially allocated money from the public for him to take to Beijing, for him to spend, his mother repeatedly told him before leaving, saying that he was "borrowed" in the Xinguo Mansion, not "refuge", spend when you should spend money, don't take advantage of your uncle's house.

He is not like his cousin, he didn't even have a hundred taels of silver when he went out, and the gift list was still purchased by his father with private money, which is completely incomparable to him.

Gu Qing glanced at the gift list and was shocked when he saw that "one thousand taels of silver" was written at the end.

Isn't it just ordinary people? How can it be used for a thousand taels of flowers in one shot? Even if she does, she won't easily take out a thousand taels of silver to do anything!

Or is he planning to stay here for a long time, that's why he has prepared so much silver?

"Since you are a guest in our house, there is no reason to let the guests pay. You take back the thousand taels yourself, turn around and ask your family to send you the silver box into the yard. I arranged for you to live in the West Garden, with a few of your cousins, and your eldest brother also lives in the West Garden, which is just lively. ”

Gu Qing saw this kid with an inexplicable expression, and couldn't help but mention: "You are too bold, you went to Beijing like this with a thousand taels of silver, and you are not afraid of meeting bad people?" ”

"I went to Beijing with other people who came to Beijing. And we all walked on the post road, and we brought a lot of families. Li Zhao didn't encounter any danger along the way, so he said with a grin: "Grandmother, my mother has repeatedly told me to let the house accept this silver, if the money is still in my hand, when I go back, my mother will beat me!" ”

Gu Qing argued with him for a while, and found that this child was really stubborn, and he listened to his mother's words very much, opening and closing his mouth was "my mother said", I don't know what to do with him.

It's really not good, the silver box is thrown into his yard, and I don't talk nonsense with him anymore.

Seeing that this cousin was still talking to his grandmother, Li Ming said unhappily: "Cousin, are you using my house as an inn?" If you go to live with relatives, you have to give money, and if you say it, your reputation in our house will be ruined. If you find it difficult to bring the money back, you can spend it yourself! ”

Li Zhao was choked by this cousin, and then looked at the fact that this family was really not ready to accept this money, so he had no choice but to obey.

Gu Qing and Mama Hua discussed for a while, so that his monthly money here was more than Li Jun's, the girl allocated four, and the other subordinates allocated ten, but Gu Qing didn't expect Li Zhao to bring so many family members when he came, and the cross-courtyard that originally lived for him must not be able to accommodate so many people, so he had to order his subordinates to clean up the other side courtyard that was empty next to the cross-courtyard and live with them.

And today, the family brought by Li Zhao can only be divided into a part and go to the servant room in the house to settle first.

Miyagi.

Li Junzheng, who entered the palace at dawn to participate in the palace examination, waited outside the Xuanming Hall to participate in the palace examination with a group of tribute students.

Qi Shao and Zhao Dan looked at Li Jun with a look of disappointment, and couldn't help patting him on the shoulder and asking, "What's wrong with you today?" Is there something wrong with your health? Too excited last night? Too nervous right now? ”

"Is it that obvious?" Li Jun smiled bitterly and rubbed his face. "No, my younger brother went to Beijing from his hometown. I will be at the Xinguo Mansion this morning, and I am a little worried about my brother. ”

Qi Shao knew it in his heart. He knew that this Li Jun was the eldest son of the family, and now that his son-in-law is in Beijing, he also lives in the Xinguo Mansion, and the embarrassment in the future can be imagined.

The concubines are already looking to be famous, and they will leave the house in a few years, and he will send people up to embarrass people at home, thinking that this grandmother in his house is not open-minded, this Li Jun is uncomfortable, and it is normal.

It's just that they are all sons-in-law, their positions are different, and they can't understand his psychology, so they really can't say anything to comfort him, only Zhao Dan thought about it and said: "Then you should behave better, if you can be released as an official, you will be relieved." ”

In fact, he didn't think about his younger brother, nor was he afraid of embarrassment in the future.

He won fame this time, and he originally wanted to take his aunt out to live with him, but he was always troubled by his mother-in-law.

However, his father's letter clearly told him that no matter what, his aunt would not leave his hometown, and his aunt herself was unwilling to follow him. In the letter, the aunt also told him to take good care of his brother so that it would not be more difficult for her to do it at home.

Now the goal he is striving for is about to be achieved, but it has no meaning as before, he can't help but feel a little lost, and he feels that he has not discussed such an idea with his aunt, it is difficult for him to be a strong man, and he is even more sad if he loses filial piety.

It turned out that not everyone wanted to be independent like him, and his heart suddenly let out of his breath, and he naturally looked a little listless today.

But in the face of his friend's kindness, he could only arch his hand and said gratefully: "Li Jun understands your kindness." If you can be released as officials by the two auspicious words, Li Jun will invite the two to drink! ”

"Come on, who dares to drink with you Li Qianzhan!"

Since that Yunmeng Pavilion banquet, Li Jun's reputation as "Li Qianzhan" has spread.

"Hehe, I won't feed you ......"

Li Jun wants to be released, but with his achievement, he will definitely not be able to enter the first class and directly obtain the qualification to be appointed as an official.

But if he wanted to ask his cousin for convenience, he couldn't open his mouth.

Dozens of tribute students waited outside the Xuanming Hall for about a cup of tea, and a ceremonial official came out of the hall to lead these tribute students into the hall.

Qi Shao and the others hurriedly dressed up and followed the ceremonial officer to enter.

The gold bricks in the Xuanming Hall are paved, the light can be seen, there are many seats in the hall, and there is a dragon gold lacquer throne at the top, and Chu Rui wearing a dragon robe sits on it.

The emperor also set up a seat, and there were more than a dozen ministers sitting in the seat, and Li Mao, who was the secretary of the military department, was also among them.

These tribute students entered the hall, did not dare to raise their heads, first to the emperor after the examiner of the Ministry of Rites roll call, and then scattered.

After these examiners finished the papers in front of the emperor, the tributes entered their respective seats one by one in the order of roll call, where they would finish the emperor's current affairs, and then handed them over to the ministers for circulation, and the ministers read the papers according to the four categories of "○", "△", "√" and "×", and selected the ten papers with the most circles to be presented to the emperor for the most imperial approval.

This kind of atmosphere is relatively easy to be nervous, Li Jun sat in the middle of the position, and saw that there were people on both sides, and suddenly felt a little depressed.

But he glanced at Qi Shao at the front, and in front of him was the emperor's gaze, and then the eyes of the ministers scrutinizing him, thinking that Qi Shao was even more uncomfortable, so he laughed at himself in his heart.

Sitting in such a back position, I still feel nervous, think about people!

He looked down at the title of the paper.

On the top of the scroll are written two big characters "Bian Yi", and below, there are hundreds of words of the title and a blank space for the current affairs of the tribute students.

Li Jun couldn't help but raise his head to look at his cousin Li Mao, and then look at the topic.

Hey? Bianyi?
