Chapter Forty-Seven: Marriage
After returning from Tantuo Temple, Shu Mulu was even busier, the wedding ceremony, the richer the family, the more cumbersome, partial life can not make mistakes, otherwise it will be a joke after tea and dinner.
Shu Mulu's family naturally came how carefully.
Naturally, he didn't have time to take care of Tong Cheng'er when he was busy, except for the routine greetings every day, Tong Cheng'er lived an unrestrained life.
Three books and six ceremonies, as soon as the itinerary left, when the marriage of Tong Xuewen and Guerjia Shuyu was decided, a month had passed.
After the family affairs are settled, Tong Cheng'er's second sister-in-law is stable, and as for the wedding date, it is scheduled for May next year.
The reason is also simple, next year Tong Xuewen will participate in next year's imperial examination, the examination in February, the palace examination in March, the results in April, and the dust has almost settled in May, and it is just right to get married.
Tong Xuewen's knowledge, if there is no accident, there is naturally no problem, if he is admitted in April, it will be the title of the gold list and the flower candle of the cave room, if he is not admitted, then he will also get married, after all, Tong Xuewen is indeed at the age of marriage.
The matter has been decided, Tong Xuewen has a fiancΓ©e, but in fact, there is not much difference from the previous days, if there is, it can only be more busy, tomorrow's imperial examination, success or failure in this move, he is indeed quite talented in the way of studying, but no matter how talented he is, it is in vain if he does not work hard.
In the Qing Dynasty, so many people participated in the imperial examination, and in the end, only two or three hundred people were taken, if he didn't work hard, why would the quota be his.
Although Tong Cheng'er has no personal experience, as a good sister who is quite competent, she sees it in her eyes, and then feels really bitter! It was much more bitter than when she took the college entrance examination.
Then she could only watch him work hard with delicious food and drink next to her, and then hugged him and cheered him on for nothing.
Tong Cheng'er's comfortable appearance made Tong Xuewen want to beat people, but when he saw Tong Cheng'er's face, he was reluctant to even preach.
And Yinzhen's side, after being disappointed that his problem was not good, inevitably paid attention to Tong Cheng'er, after all, since he was spermated, Tong Cheng'er is the only woman who will not see the "disgusting" picture when he encounters it.
In other words, Tong Cheng'er is special to him, and this special makes him can't help but start paying attention to her.
After he paid attention, he found that this girl seemed to have a simple life and was a little lazy, which inevitably reminded Yinzhen of what he overheard when he first met her.
Because Alhatu is clean, there is not even a connecting room in the backyard except for Shu Mulu's family, so the backyard of the Tong family is very simple, and there is not much intrigue, and the content about Tong Cheng'er that Yinzhen found is very simple.
What Yin Zhen found: Hobby turned out to be reading the book, and the talent is still in the eye, and the next one can't even pick up the needle and thread, and recently raised a female cat named Baibai, who spoiled her very much......
When Yin Zhen saw this content, on the one hand, she felt that this girl was no wonder that her mother was worried about not marrying out, and on the other hand, she couldn't help but yearn for this kind of harmonious family atmosphere.
Although Tong Cheng'er's life does not meet the standards of noble women, but people's lives are comfortable, except for some special things that cannot be used, Yinzhen feels that her life is not as good as her!
He was a little envious in his heart, and it was inevitable that he would think of Yongzheng who was tired to death in his dream, and then he yearned for Tong Cheng'er's lifestyle more and more.
So Yinzhen has one more daily hobby, that is, to start reading Tong Cheng'er's daily life regularly, which is similar to reading a log, when you are unhappy, you can always feel better, which is particularly useful.
Because Tong Cheng'er's daily life seems to be very happy every day, there is no worry at all, and even Yinzhen's face is a little more popular.
β¦β¦
The days passed quickly, and another year passed in a blink of an eye, and Yinzhen followed the prince to do a few errands, all of which were not bad, especially the errands of the Internal Affairs Office, which made Kangxi see Yinzhen's plasticity.
At the end of the year, Kangxi always wanted to reward some courtiers and sons who he thought had done a good job this year, and Yinzhen was specially praised, in contrast to the third elder brother, he was just allowed by Kangxi to re-enter the court, and he didn't do a single errand.
Even the elder brother next to him was praised for reading a few words seriously, and even the tenth elder brother who was the least interested in reading was praised by Kangxi for "the word has improved".
It is conceivable that the third elder brother's mood will not be too good.
So when he returned to his brother's office, he couldn't help but lose his temper, and one of the concubines happened to hit the muzzle of the gun, and then was severely punished.
After the New Year, the Tong family put all their eyes on Tong Xuewen, after all, they will participate in the examination in two months.
Shu Mulu thinks about making food and drink for his son every day, so that he can have a good body, and he will try three times, one every three days, and it is February, but the weather is still cold! If you are not in good health, and one is not very sick, which affects the exam, then it will be three years of hard work in vain.
Alhatu also pointed out his strategies from time to time, and also gave him a science popularization of the preferences and habits of this year's examiner......
In addition, Liu Shaoyi, who lives in the house, is also quite aura in reading, Tong Xuewen often discusses learning with him, and both of them feel that they have benefited a lot.
Tong Xuewen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if he didn't want to keep filial piety, Brother Shaoyi would definitely be on the list, but unfortunately it would be delayed for another three years, and the two would not be able to do it in the same year.
The people in the house all revolved around Tong Xuewen, and Tong Cheng'er thought that the second brother had nothing to say to her on weekdays, so she decided not to revolve around in vain for the time being.
But she doesn't know how to read the Four Books and Five Classics, so she can't help much.
"You say, what should I do to help the second brother."
Rulan and Ruxue are also worried, how do they know where Gege can help the second master, Gege can't help in reading, and there is Fujin to check in life, Gege's temperament, Fujin probably doesn't dare to hand over the second master's affairs to Gege to start.
The three of them lasted for a long time, and Ruxue proposed: "Otherwise, prepare a piece for the second master that you can try on, in February, the weather is so cold, and it is easy to get sick if you don't wear thick ones. β
Rulan proposed: "In addition to Dayu, you can also prepare for the food and pen and ink during the exam, and you will try for three days, and you can't get out for three days, and the food and accommodation are all in it, and the weather is cold, and it will definitely be uncomfortable if you don't eat well." β
When Tong Cheng'er heard this, she had a flash of inspiration, but she had an idea, she didn't know how to make clothes, and the craftsmanship of the people in her yard was not as good as the craftsmanship in Eniang's yard, so she didn't join in the fun, but she could put some effort into this food.
For so many years in modern times, she has had a hard time, so she has done a lot of part-time work, learned a lot of skills in her hands, worked odd jobs in restaurants, and even went to a fast food processing factory during her winter and summer vacations.
She still has some experience in some instant foods similar to instant noodles, although she has been lazy for more than ten years, she can still remember the principle of instant noodles.
Tong Cheng'er imagined for a moment, the people in the Gongyuan ate dim sum and dry food, and the second brother ate fragrant instant noodles with soup, that scene would definitely make others drool with envy.
Thinking so in her heart, Tong Cheng'er began to say to Rulan: "You go to the kitchen to find two cooks, I have something for them to do, remember, look for those who are quick and flexible." β
Rulan: "Yes"
After Rulan left, Ruxue asked, "What is Gege going to do here?" β
Tong Cheng'er smiled mysteriously: "You'll know when the time comes." β
Rulan went to the kitchen and said that Gege wanted two cooks to help, and many people rushed to sign up, and Rulan finally picked two stable and honest ones who were clever and brought back.
"Gege, the cook brought it."
Tong Cheng'er nodded: "Good job." β
The two cooks saluted Tong Cheng'er: "Slave Juxiang/Xiufen has seen Gege." β
"Get up!"
