Chapter 35 The Imperial Examination
The new emperor always has to reshuffle when he ascends the throne, such as the opening of Enke this time and the recruitment of talents, that is, the new emperor - Emperor Shunzhi wants to eradicate the old forces left by the old emperors and cultivate his own new forces.
But these are not women's business, they are all tests of the results of the man's ten years of hard study. So how Jiang Aoxue should live or how to live, but Jiang Aoxue felt extremely uncomfortable as long as she thought that Chai Tianyou would be named in the imperial examination this time. However, uncomfortable is uncomfortable, Jiang Aoxue still admires Chai Tianyou very much in her heart for being able to stand out among many people and be the top performer, it can be seen that Chai Tianyou's literature is excellent, that is, ...... The character is not very good.
"Miss! Miss! It was as if I had seen the disciple at the door again. ”
Wanyun panted and ran to Jiang Aoxue, Jiang Aoxue hurriedly handed a cup of tea to Wanyun, so that Wanyun was gasping and talking. Wanyun drank the tea in one go, gasped for two more breaths and said, "Miss, it seems that the disciple is here again, I just watched him walk away from a distance at the door. ”
Jiang Aoxue frowned and said, "Didn't this Chai Tianyou already take a wife?" Still entangled in what I do, you really want me to be his concubine! ”
Jiang Aoxue has a headache, this Chai Tianyou agreed to marry him in his last life, but he didn't agree to marry him in this life, he was so pestering!
"Miss, don't go out today."
"Hmm!"
Jiang Aoxue nodded and rubbed Wanyun's hair again, got up and went back to the room.
Jiang Aoxue was half-lying on the bed, holding Song Ci in her hand, but she had been thinking about a question in her heart. My brother will inherit the Houfu in the future, and the Houfu will definitely be finished, and I will marry in the future, and there is no precedent for women to inherit in the Houfu, and my mother will definitely not agree to others joining the family. And there are too few men in our Houfu, except for the eldest brother, all of them are women, Jiang Aoxue knocked his head with his hand, it was too much of a headache. Suddenly, Jiang Aoxue's mind flashed with inspiration.
"Breeze!"
"What's the matter? Miss? ”
Originally, in the yard, the flowers picked in the yard and the petals that fell down were made into dried flowers as a sachet for the breeze, but when I heard the call of my own lady, I had to put down my hand and live into the lady's boudoir.
"Qingfeng, you use the money left over from the last time to pay off your brother's debt to go to various places and come to some orphans."
"Why do you want to do this all of a sudden, miss?"
Qingfeng is very confused, buy orphans? What can you do when you buy orphans, most of the orphans are quite small, they are children who can't lift water and can't work, what can you do when you buy them?
"There are too few men in our Houfu, so I want to take in some orphans to cultivate and protect our Houfu in the future."
"If you want to protect Houfu, you can directly recruit some adult men who know martial arts outside. It saves time and money more than buying orphans for training. ”
"Recruit men outside...... After all, we still have a lot of female dependents, so I'm not afraid of 10,000. It's different to train orphans by yourself, and you have to feel a little more secure when you watch them grow up. ”
"Hmm...... I see, miss, I'll go at once. ”
"Well, go ahead."
Jiang Aoxue waved her hand, and Qingfeng immediately retreated to buy orphans.
"Miss!"
As soon as the breeze went out, the babbling sound of the evening clouds came in. Jiang Aoxue pinched the bridge of her nose and said: "Wanyun, although it is in your own territory, you should pay attention to your image, so nonsense, how bad it is for people to see, be careful that others don't want you." ”
"Miss hates it, Wanyun has to take care of Miss for the rest of her life."
Wan Yun pouted, intentionally or unintentionally ignoring Jiang Aoxue's words asking Wan Yun to pay attention to her image.
"That's right! Miss, Wanyun told you that just now Chai Tianyou came to the house to meet the old lady, and said that as long as he won the champion, he would come to propose and marry you. You know what? Chai Tianyou was kicked out of the house by the old lady, and a person who had already taken a wife dared to marry Miss, if I was here at the time, I would definitely kick my feet to vent my anger for Miss. ”
Jiang Aoxue was very moved at this time, I didn't expect my grandmother to protect me so much. The best thing for Jiang Aoxue in the entire Houfu is not Jiang Aoxue's mother, but the old lady of the Houfu, but as long as Jiang Aoxue thinks of the death of her grandmother in the future, she can't help but shed tears.
"Oops! Miss, why are you crying? Could it be that he feels sorry for the disciples? ”
Jiang Aoxue couldn't cry or laugh, and she was not afraid of the distress of the person on her head, and knocked on Wanyun's forehead. Jiang Aoxue wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and said: "Wanyun, you are looking for a fight, how can I feel sorry for Chai Tianyou, it's too late for me to be happy, I cry because grandma's actions moved me too much, grandma is really good to me." Let's go, Wanyun, let's go see grandma together. ”
"Hmm......"
"Miss, are you alright?"
As soon as Jiang Aoxue went out, she was bumped into by a person, and Jiang Aoxue looked down and saw that it was a tiger-headed child. Jiang Aoxue wondered, where is your child in this house, and he looks like he is about five or six years old.
"Woo woo"
The little boy cried profusely after falling to the ground, which made Jiang Aoxue very embarrassed and at a loss. After all, Jiang Aoxue has never taken care of a child, nor has she faced a child much.
"Hey...... Forehead...... Don't cry, it's not good to cry. ”
Jiang Aoxue wiped the little boy's tears with a handkerchief embroidered with peonies, and couldn't stop thinking in her heart, if there was no accident in the previous life, my child could cry and laugh like this, and he was so cute and distressed.
"Woo woo woo...... Sister...... My mother...... Woooooooo ”
"Uh...... Don't cry first, don't cry first, you say what's wrong with your mother first? Sister help you, sister help you. ”
"My mother was sick, and I went to Madame, but Madame didn't treat my mother.
Jiang Aoxue suddenly remembered that she had received an aunt who seemed to be surnamed Qiao when her father had no accident, and she heard that she was pregnant later, but then there was no news. Could it be that my mother did it...... Jiang Aoxue remembered her mother's character who couldn't tolerate sand, and it was very possible for Xue to hide alone, but now that Aunt Qiao is sick, her mother doesn't treat her, Jiang Aoxue disagrees.
"Come on, can you take me to your mother's mother, let my sister see, can my sister help your mother's mother go to invite Langzhong?"
"Okay."
The little boy still had tears in the corners of his eyes, but when he heard that the beautiful sister could help his mother, Lang Zhong immediately showed a bright smile and pulled the beautiful sister to his small courtyard.
The small courtyard is worthy of being a small courtyard, and this place is not worthy of crying and hiding the mother's place. Not only is it small and tattered, but more importantly, it is remote, if it wasn't for the little boy who brought Jiang Aoxue here, Jiang Aoxue would never have known that there was such a place.
Jiang Aoxue pushed open the wooden door that felt like it was about to fall down at the signal of the little boy, and there was not even a complete thing in the small thatched hut, and even the bowls used were tattered. The tattered bowl was soaked in yellow water, and the slender woman sitting in the small thatched hut had her back to the wooden door and did not see Jiang Aoxue who pushed the door in. Instead, he beckoned the little boy to eat.
"Xiaohu, come here, the steamed buns have been soaked for you, today's steamed buns are not stinky."
The slender woman's words made Jiang Aoxue's eyes red instantly, and Jiang Aoxue heard the slender woman say that today's steamed buns are not smelly, and she had a very happy tone. Even steamed buns that are not stinky can be happy like this, which shows what kind of life these two people are living.
"What man!?"
Seeing that no one responded, the slender woman immediately turned around, only to see Jiang Aoxue standing at the door, and behind her was a little boy who showed half of his body.
"You're Aunt Qiao, right? I'm Jiang Aoxue, I heard that you are sick, and I came to visit you. ”
Aunt Qiao was born extremely beautiful, no wonder her father would ignore her mother and put Aunt Qiao in the backyard, and no wonder her mother would hide Aunt Qiao.
"It's Aoxue, I remember you, you were young when I entered the Waiting Mansion, and now it's so big, cough cough cough."
Aunt Qiao was born extremely beautiful, even if she is sick now, her face is pure and pale, but she can't stop Aunt Qiao's beauty, and she looks like a sick and weak beauty.
"Ao Xue, the kid behind you is my son named Jiang Hu, people say that a cheap name is easy to support, so I named my son Hu, after all, it is extremely difficult to survive in an environment like mine."
No wonder, no wonder, my kid is so thin that I can even see my bones, these dog minions who hold high and step low! Jiang Aoxue remembered the days when she got up before dawn to wash the clothes of those servants, it was really hateful!
"Aunt Qiao, don't worry, I'll go out to invite you to Langzhong immediately, if you can give me the teaching of this Jiang Hu child, I will definitely teach Jiang Hu to become the pillar of the Houfu."
After speaking, Jiang Aoxue took Jiang Hu out to invite Langzhong.
"Lang Zhong, how's it going?"
Jiang Aoxue looked at Lang Zhong's frowning brows nervously, for fear that something would happen, Jiang Hu would have no mother, Jiang Hu was still young and couldn't stand such a big blow!
"Oh, it's fine, it's just some malnutrition, plus overwork, rest more, I'm prescribing a pair of pills to drink once in the morning and evening."
After saying that, Lang Zhong danced with a brush, Jiang Aoxue handed a few taels of silver to Lang Zhong, and then went to ask Wanyun to go to the pharmacy to grab medicine.
"Thank you, sister."
Jiang Hu thanked him in a milky voice, but he said that he had gone to Jiang Aoxue's heart!
"Thank you so much, Aoxue, cough."
"Oh, Aunt Qiao, just lie down, don't talk, I understand what you mean."
Jiang Aoxue pressed Aunt Qiao on the bed, and helped cover the matching words, so that Aunt Qiao could cultivate well, and then pulled Jiang Hu back to her yard.
