Chapter Seventy-Nine: People Don't Want to Be Concubines

Yan Fu got up and walked to the entrance of the hall and stood with his hands in his hands, he looked up at the sunny sky and white clouds in the distance, and said after a while: "Although the Li family's background is pitiful, she can't be a wife, otherwise if you enter the court as an official in the future, your wife's background is not correct, it may cause criticism and be unfavorable to your career." ”

Zhao Yan was silent when he heard this, Yan Fu's original intention of saying these words may be good, if he didn't value Zhao Yan, he wouldn't have said these words at all, but Zhao Yan didn't agree with the meaning of Yan Fu's words, so his kindness Zhao Yan could only understand it.

Zhao Yan got up and stood behind Yan Fu and said, "The student has written it down." ”

Yan Fu stared back at Zhao Yan twice, and suddenly smiled: "Just wrote it down?" It seems that Gome has his own idea in his heart, do you think that the eunuch in the palace will lose power? If he loses power, the Li family's Wenxuan Shilang can be rehabilitated, and then return to the court, although he may not still be the Wenxuan Shilangzhong, the court will definitely not treat him badly, don't you say? ”

Zhao Yan just regarded Yan Fu as a senior who had a good relationship, some things could be discussed, but some things could not be discussed, so Zhao Yan looked at him left and right, and said perfunctorily: "The student said that he wrote it down, which means that he should consider it, after all, the student and the little lady of the Li family get along day and night, it can be said that they are in love, if they suddenly change the hexagram and accept it as a concubine, the student is really uneasy." ”

"Hehe, Gome is not as weak as the crown, but it is also an amorous seed." Yan Fu smiled freely, knowing that Fang Cai's words were a little abrupt, so he didn't continue to talk about this topic, and the conversation turned to the subset of scriptures and histories. In this regard, for Yan Fu, Zhao Yan can only be regarded as a layman, so he just took this opportunity to ask Yan Fu for advice.

A pot of tea has been renewed twice, Yan Fu saw that it was not early outside, so he got up to say goodbye, and when he left, he said that maybe Li Zhizhou would invite Zhao Yan and Zhang Wenyuan, the two newcomers, to the state government tomorrow, Zhao Yan knew in his heart that Li Zhizhou asked himself and Zhang Wenyuan to go to the state government, which was nothing more than a Lala relationship, which was reasonable, after all, he and Zhang Wenyuan already had the qualifications to be officials, and they could barely be regarded as half of Li Zhizhou's colleagues.

After sending Yan Fu away, Zhao Yan turned around and saw Li Yun's delicate little face.

"I heard that you want to take a concubine, or take me as a concubine." Li Yun looked up at Zhao Yan, his eyes were very resentful.

Zhao Yan saw that there was no one left and right, so he smiled and said, "Did you overhear me talking to Yan Xuezheng?" ”

Li Yun was determined, and his thinking was not deviated by Zhao Yan's words, but he made a pitiful look, and cried: "People don't want to be concubines." ”

"And what do you want to do?" Zhao Yan asked with a smile, there was a pit hidden in his words, and Li Yun jumped in unconsciously.

"People want to be wives." Li Yun didn't think about it, so he said what was in his heart.

Zhao Yan was amused in his heart, and when he saw Li Yun's face full of determination, he continued to ask, "Whose wife are you?" ”

"Of course it's your ......" Li Yun reacted violently halfway through his words, and couldn't help but blush and stomp his feet, and said angrily: "You tease me." ”

Seeing that Li Yun was so cute, Zhao Yan reached out and gently scratched her nose, and said, "When did I say that I wanted to take you as a concubine?" As the so-called poor and lowly friends should not be forgotten, the wife of the chaff does not go to the court, you are my righteous child daughter-in-law, the world knows, now it is only a matter of visiting the church to get married, why should I change my wife to a concubine for no reason? You can rest assured, but listening to the wind and rain is the most important thing, don't think about it in the future. ”

Listening to Zhao Yan's words, Li Yun was full of joy, she nodded subconsciously, and then her nose wrinkled slightly, and she said coquettishly: "You are the wife of the dregs, no, you are the husband of the scum." ”

Zhao Yan shook his head and smiled, thinking that Zhang Wenyuan and himself should have received the good news at this time, and he should write a letter to congratulate him, so he bypassed Li Yun and walked towards the inner house.

Li Yun's cheeks were slightly red, as if she had eaten honey in her heart, she turned to look at Zhao Yan's figure walking farther and farther, and shouted in a ghostly manner: "Bad husband, when will you marry me?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yan stumbled under his feet, fortunately he didn't fall, he turned around and looked around like a thief, but didn't see anyone else, so he was relieved.

"You...... In the future, this kind of thing cannot be asked in public. Zhao Yan seems to be a little lacking in energy, he feels that he is similar to the otaku of later generations, the otaku is gradually becoming introverted and shy because he is not grounded and rarely communicates face-to-face with people, and he is gradually introverted and rigid because he has read too many books and five classics and adapted to the humanistic customs of this era.

Li Yun turned a deaf ear to Zhao Yan's words, and she continued to ask with shame: "You haven't said when...... When will you marry me? ”

Belch...... Zhao Yan didn't know how to answer this question, he couldn't say to Li Yun You are still underage, I can't do it, but this problem must be faced sooner or later, even if Zhao Yan wants to escape, Zhao Xin, who is Zhao Yan's son, will not agree, so Zhao Yan thought about it, and deliberately suppressed his voice and said: "As the saying goes, the father is the son, and the matter of the father's continuation has been settled, as a son of man, you can't get married before your father, right?" So it's best for you and my relatives to wait a little longer, and when the time comes, I will naturally be beautiful......"

"Stinky boy, you have to say it again." Zhao Xin suddenly appeared behind Li Yun, raised his eyebrows coldly at Zhao Yan, and shouted angrily.

Zhao Yan's reaction was not unpleasant, he pointed to the door suddenly, and said in surprise: "Wang Yuanwai, why are you here?" ”

Outside the king? Zhao Xin's face-changing technique had already begun to peek at the door, but when he turned around with a smiling face, there was no one outside the door, and when he turned around, Zhao Yan's figure had long since disappeared, only Li Yunzheng was looking at the direction where Zhao Yan disappeared in a daze.

"This stinky boy actually orchestrated me behind his back." Zhao Xin smiled, and turned to Li Yun: "Yun'er, what are you doing standing here, come into the house quickly." Xiaolang has been lifted, and he has been busy these days, and if you don't want to see anyone in the next few days, you will hide in the backyard. ”

Li Yun responded, and when Zhao Xin took a few steps in front, she couldn't help but ask, "Father-in-law, when will you continue the string?" ”

Zhao Xin's old face was slightly red when he heard this, and he was quite embarrassed in his heart, he had already secretly seen that Yan Ruyu, and he was very satisfied with it in his heart, but he felt that if he continued the string, he really couldn't live with Zhao Yan's deceased mother, and under the gains and losses, this family matter has been dragged down, and it was not until recently that Zhao Xin agreed under the guidance of Zhao Yan and the matchmaker Zheng.

That Yan Ruyu is strictly a widow, and Zhao Xin is a widower, although the marriage between the two is not suitable for a big deal, they also need to find a good day before they can officially pass the door.

According to Zheng's statement, the eighth day of February at the beginning of next year, that is, the thirteenth year of orthodoxy, is a good day, and the marriage between Zhao Xin and the little widow of the Yan family is set on that day, and this matter is only known to Zhao Xin's father and son and the housekeeper Wang Jiu in the Zhao family. ”

Li Yun can also read and break words, and when she heard the words, she was silent for a moment, knowing that there were still five months before now, she naively thought that Fang Cai Xiaolang said that he would marry me after his father-in-law continued the strings, so it didn't take long, I don't know if my father would rush back to see me get married like in a dream, and now that Xiaolang has won the lift, my father must be very happy to know.

What Li Yun thought, Zhao Yan naturally couldn't guess, he wrote a letter in the study, and asked the housekeeper Wang An to find someone to send it to Zhang Wenyuan in Zaoke Village, and then sat in the study and was stunned.

Xiucai, lifting, Jinshi, he has passed two major levels, during which although he is working hard, but he can't escape the word luck, but next year's test will be whether he wants to participate?

The general examination is held in February of the following year of the township examination, also known as the spring examination, and it is also held in three consecutive examinations, each of which is three days, held by the Ministry of Officials in the Gongyuan, and is presided over by the Hanlin or Cabinet University Scholars. The trial list is called "apricot list", the winner is called "Gongshi", and the name of Gongshi is "Huiyuan".

Those who have obtained the qualification of tribute can participate in the palace examination in April of the same year, during which the emperor presides over and produces questions, and the emperor also determines the order of the top ten. The palace examination only examines one question, and the test is a countermeasure, which lasts for one day, and the admission list is called 'A List', also known as 'Gold List'.

After the palace examination, there are only three people in the first class, the first champion, the second list, and the third Tanhua, giving 'Jinshi and first';

Zhao Yan patted his forehead, realizing that he was thinking a little far, he reorganized his thoughts, thinking that the people who participated in the examination in the provinces were all local leaders, and the intensity of the competition for the examination must be far greater than that of the township examination.

Alas...... Distressed! Cheap Daddy will continue to be in February next year, if he goes to take the exam, he will definitely miss Cheap Daddy's marriage, and I don't know if the little widow named Yan Ruyu is a picky person.

By the way, Brother Zhang also won the lift, will he go to participate in the Spring Festival in February next year? I should have mentioned it in the letter. It's not too late to ask when we meet again, but if you want to participate in next year's Spring Festival, you can't be more leisurely, although I don't know if the quotations in the "Analects" are what Confucius once said, but there is a sentence that is very right.

Regardless of whether you take the entrance examination for next year or not, as long as you do not pass the Jinshi examination for a day, you will not be able to leave your studies behind, and the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.

Zhao Yan stood up and stretched, and found that Xiao Xiang'er was probing her brain outside the door, so she asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Xiao Xiang'er stuck out her little tongue and said with a smile: "Childe, the young lady saw that your lips were chapped these days, and she was afraid that you would get on fire, so she stewed some lotus seed soup for you to remove the fire." ”

Get angry? It's not that it's suffocated. Zhao Yan complained in his heart, raised his head sharply and asked, "Who did you say made this soup?" ”

Xiao Xiang'er blinked her eyes and said with a sweet smile: "It was made by the young lady, it's sweet." ”

Zhao Yan looked at the turmeric soup in the bowl, and said in his heart Li Yun doesn't know how to cook at all, but this soup is not as good as cooking, as long as you put things in water and boil them, there is nothing wrong with seeing this color, it should be ...... Can you drink it?

PS: The eyelids fought, and the mind was disturbed, and I went to sleep.
