"Little grandfather, there's news over there."

The housekeeper in the house hurried into Sima Ji's study with a finger-thick supervisor.

His little grandfather was painting. On the picture is a young girl in the prime of cardamom, with apricot eyes and a nose, white skin and red lips.

Although the woman in the painting is not very old, she can already see some charm between her eyebrows and eyes, and more importantly, this woman has a wisdom and open-mindedness in her eyes that does not match her age.

The housekeeper glanced at his eyes, and quickly lowered his head and did not dare to look again.

"What did you say?"

"The fifth princess locked herself in the small Buddha hall and never came out, and now the noble concubine has locked up Lin Guiren, just waiting for His Majesty to speak."

"Your Majesty must be angry at this time." Sima Ji laughed softly, "You asked someone to hand over a message to Lord Wang, saying that I wish the two newcomers a hundred years of happiness." By the way, I will send a congratulatory gift. ”

The butler answered, bowed down and exited the study, and did not wipe the cold sweat on his head until he turned the middle door.

Gift? Does his little grandfather really not want to get married, or is it ......

He didn't dare to think about it, so he hurriedly went to find Aunt Su, who was in charge of the inner library.

Aunt Su is the grandmother of the Duchess of Xianguo, and she went to the Zhennan Mansion with her. After Mrs. Xian went, Aunt Su stayed to take care of the little grandfather and took charge of Mrs. Xian's dowry and private belongings.

It's a pity that because of the deliberate obstruction of the old father-in-law, Aunt Su can't guard the little grandfather all the time, so that the vicious mother and son can take advantage of it. For this matter, Aunt Su also went back to the clan to receive the punishment, and after she came back, she also lived in a remote courtyard for a long time and did not participate in the affairs of the house.

It's just that this time I want to give a congratulatory gift, and the housekeeper really doesn't have the courage to ask the little grandfather how to send it, so he can only ask Aunt Su for a trick with a shy face.

"That's what Childe said?" After confirming that this was what her little son meant, Aunt Su thought about it, got up and went to the inner room to take out a white jade Ruyi.

"This ......"

It's not that the housekeeper dislikes this thing for not being valuable, and the things that can come out of the first lady's inner library are not bad, but this is the meaning.

"White jade Ruyi, doesn't it mean white Ruyi. Since it is the result that the son of the Wang family wants, we will give it, and whether we can afford it depends on his creation. ”

"Yes, yes. Then, I will send this Ruyi to Lord Wang along with the meaning of the little grandfather. ”

Aunt Su nodded slowly and closed her eyes to see off the guests.

Su Qi entered Sima Ji's room, and when he saw that he was painting again, he sneered.

"I said, if you really can't let it go, just take someone over and put it around. Drawing portraits of people every day, I don't dare to say a word, man? ”

Sima Ji didn't look at him at all, carefully dried the painting, rolled it up and put it on the bookshelf.

"Seventh brother, I'm going to take the imperial examination."

"Oh, huh? What did you say? Are you going to take the imperial examination? ”

Suki was so crazy that he even wanted to reach out to find out if his cousin had a hot head.

"Brother Seven, go and help me hire a master, and I will strive to be directly admitted to the Jinshi in three years."

Su Qi rolled her eyes in anger. Do you really think the imperial examination is so easy to take? It is also specified that after three years, he will be directly admitted to the Jinshi, and he will pass the Xiucai test first!

But complaining is complaining, and what needs to be done has to be done.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Zhennan Mansion invited two Confucian scholars into the mansion, saying that the little grandfather had not studied systematically because of his poor health before. Now that his health has improved, he can't hurry up and study his studies, and he can't be a future grandfather of the country, without a drop of ink in his stomach.

In addition to the two gentlemen who taught him scriptures and poems, he also had to hire famous teachers for military knowledge and other studies. It's just that the latter two are not as many as Confucianism, and they can be selected among the best.

"Did you hear that? The little grandfather is asking for a teacher. ”

"Didn't you say before that the little grandfather's body is not good? It's a lot of energy to read. ”

"Hey, you don't know. In the past, the little grandfather was in poor health, wasn't it because of the poisonous woman? I heard that in order to make the little grandfather's death unclear, she gave the food in her diet every day, so she hoped that the little grandfather would die as soon as possible. Now that there is no poisonous woman, the doctor next to the little grandfather can't take care of it? It's been a few months, and it's been a little bit better. ”

Some of the rumors are bizarre, but some are to the point.

Regarding these rumors in the market, no one from the Zhennan Mansion or the Su family came forward to clarify, and after a long time, everyone stopped talking about it.

"You said that a person who claimed to be from the Wei clan came to the door and wanted to be Mr. Fuli?"

When Su Qi came out of his official business, he heard the butler report it.

"Have you sent someone to check?"

Guogong Mansion is not like ordinary people, but you can't come if you want to. He claims to be from the Wei clan, but who knows that the Wei clan and the Wei clan are also different, so he is afraid that the kind of guy who sells dog meat on the head of a sheep will come to the door to cheat and cheat.

He said that his ancestors were separated from the Wei family back then, and later because of the difficult world and the long distance, he cut off contact with the main family. He said that he had a genealogy to prove himself. ”

Su Qi looked up at the butler, "What the hell does he want to do?" ”

This person doesn't feel like he is just here to be a gentleman, and he has his own genealogy, so why don't you want Zhennan Gong to come forward to help him return to his sect?

"The little one listened to him, it didn't seem like he was returning to the sect. He said that when his ancestor came out, he was a family of three brothers, and later the ancestor died on the road, and the three brothers were scattered. His ancestors went up to the second place, and he took his wife and young son all the way south, and he went here within a few years, and after that, his family has been following the rules of his ancestors, studying the books and books brought out from the master's house. ”

"Why haven't I heard anyone talk about it before?"

The man who said that what his family handed down was not an orthodox Confucian classic, but a miscellaneous study, focusing on agriculture, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry. This time, I also heard someone talk about the knowledge of Mr. Shi in our house, as long as he has real talent and real learning, he will give it a try. ”

Su Qi had no feeling for this miscellaneous science, but he turned his head and thought that his little cousin's sweetheart seemed to like it very much, so he asked him to come in and talk.

The person who came was a middle-aged scribe with a weak letter. The dress is clean and decent, but at a glance it is old clothes that have been worn for many years.

"Sir, please take a seat, the little grandfather is still in class, and I'll come over in a while."

It's a teacher invited to Sima Ji, and he must have seen it himself before he counted. Inviting someone in was just Su Qi's desire to see what kind of person this unconventional scholar was.

Not long after the two talked, Sima Ji came in from outside the door.

is different from what Wei Qingrong thought, the little grandfather is not a handsome little boy like Su Qi, his appearance is not mediocre, but he is not too good-looking. And the little grandfather is extremely thin, and he is slightly taller, looking like a bamboo pole.

After listening to Su Qi's brief introduction, Sima Ji didn't ask anything else, but frowned and asked him what the name of his ancestor who went south was.
