In front of the ancestral hall of the Xu family, there is a flagpole of three buckets, which is one of the happy events, and there is another great happy event, that is, the edict of Xu's mother also came down, and was sent to Pingyang by the people of the Ministry of Rites.

That's right, after discussing with Xu Erlang, Jin Niang decided to ask Xu Erlang to ask Xu Erlang to ask Xu Mu for a seal.

She is an elder, and Xu Erlang should be filial piety; Another point is also that Jin Niang is considering, Xu Mu is old, in the current dynasty where the average life expectancy is far less than 50, Xu Mu really lives one day less. On the other hand, she is still young, and there is still a long way to go, and Jin Niang also believes that Xu Erlang will earn her a life one day sooner or later. Then, there is no need to argue with Xu's mother about the identity of this fate.

It is also because Xu Erlang was personally given the word by His Majesty in the palace test, so that everyone thought that he was in His Majesty's blue eyes. So as soon as Xu Erlang's excerpt went up, the people from the Ministry of Rites quickly dealt with it. is also to sell it well for Xu Erlang, this decree document that was originally enough to toss for a period of time, with a big makeup, came down soon.

The people of the Ministry of Rites are good people to the end, and when they went to the flagpole of Pingyang Town to make meritorious contributions, they prepared everything properly, asked their colleagues to bring everything over, and announced the decree to the Xu family together. Therefore, it is conceivable how Leng Buding's mother was excited at that time when she learned that she was named the Six-Pin'an People's Decree.

She fainted directly!!

When she woke up, she was surrounded by everyone and complimented, and Xu Mu still couldn't believe that what Na Qincha said was true.

But the holy decree with the big seal is offered in the ancestral hall, and her name of Xu Shi's family is written on it, which really can't be true.

But even so, Mother Xu was still in a trance.

She is a woman who has never been out of Pingyang Town, so she got a big makeup?

Even the county magistrate's wife in the county doesn't have this line of work. Partial to her, what is this? That's the benefit of having a son!!

This is all earned by their family Erlang for her, and they are all things she deserves. I think that if she hadn't forced Erlang to abandon Wu Congwen with death, maybe Erlang would still be in the gala horned cat in the barracks, and there would be like now, not only won the champion, but also joined the Hanlin Academy, and even had the ability to give her a mother.

It's still her Erlang who has a big future!!

Mother Xu got a big makeup and became the most beautiful old lady in Pingyang Town, and she was full of ambition for a while. But she is used to being pure, someone has come to flatter her for two days a day, and she can endure it for three or five days, but after seven or eight days,...... Well, Xu Mu couldn't bear it, and even secretly poked and thought about it, if she can't do it, she will return this fate, and let Erlang give this edict to Jinniang?

It was only when she listened to the county magistrate's wife talking to her that she knew that the original six-grade official could only be given to one of her mother or wife. Erlang gave her this fate, didn't he leave Jinniang out in the cold? After Ke Jinniang married into the Xu family, she worked hard and took care of the whole family properly, not to mention that she also raised several children very well.

She has always been the virtuous helper behind Erlang, not too much, without Jinniang behind her back, Erlang can also come out, but it will definitely not be as smooth as now, nor will it be like now, coming and going in a comfortable mood every day, not disturbed by foreign affairs.

This daughter-in-law is undoubtedly good, but on the other hand, her mother, is a little incompetent.

Mother Xu thought of this and reflected heartily for two days. But what can she do after reflection, she can only be more convinced that Jinniang is a good daughter-in-law, and nothing else seems to be able to do.

After all, the edict is something that has been recorded in the annals of history, how can it be used as a joke? If you want it, you want it, and if you don't want it, you don't want it, so what about the emperor and the legal authority of the country?

Therefore, this decree cannot be returned.

And Mother Xu didn't want to retreat in her selfish heart.

She has a fate, how majestic, how beautiful, she is the first in the entire Pingyang Town.

However, I still owe some money to Jin Niang in my heart, so in the letter, Mother Xu said some good things about Jin Niang, and told her son that if he can't gain power, he will be distracted, and let some people who are not there enter the house to make Jin Niang angry. She only recognizes Jinniang as a daughter-in-law in her life, and the rest of the cats and dogs, don't mention them in front of her, she doesn't recognize them.

Not to mention that Jin Niang saw this, she was moved in her heart, but said that Xu Mu really did what she said.

Xu Erlang became an official and became a good person, and many people moved their minds and wanted to tell him about their daughter/niece. Although Father Lin was admitted to the Jinshi, they were afraid of Father Lin's majesty and did not dare to go too far, but they did not give Father Xu and Mother Xu a word in private.

Father Xu's mind is still sober, he just plays with women by himself, how can he stuff these women into his son's room? The father's hand chief is in charge of his son's room, and it is a shame to say where he is, and he still expects his son to be a big man, and he also follows the light, where is he willing to let his son be hollowed out by many women, and he has no energy to work hard to climb up. So whenever someone comes to the door, Xu's father either pushes two or five or six and sends the person away; Either he is a person who is not easy to send, he warmly invites people to eat and drink, and then uses the wine to say that the rebel has a big idea, and I can't control his words, so I send people away in a daze.

Mother Xu is even more desperate, but whenever someone hits her with an idea, Mother Xu will unceremoniously squeeze people back. If it doesn't work, just say, "I still have a few nephews in my mother's family......"

Mother Xu's maiden Shi family is also good, Mrs. Shi is a lifter, and the Shi family is also known as the last sentence of the cultivation and reading heirloom. But the few grandchildren under the Shi family are really not very good, except for two or three who are more promising, and they are still married, the rest are crooked melons and cracked dates, and they like to fish, and they love to play.

And now the one who can talk to Xu's mother is not an ordinary family. If you want to match their best daughters/nieces with a few children and grandchildren, they can't laugh. If it weren't for the fact that Mother Xu had a good son, she would definitely have a bright future in the future, and they wouldn't offend her, otherwise, I really wanted to smack her face and reward her with a sentence of "The face is so big!" ”

Anyway, Mother Xu is clean in front of her, and there is no one to sow discord in front of her, saying that Erlang has no heirs, so she should hurry up and give him a small concubine, and Mother Xu's life is really smooth.

Jin Niang turned the letter to the end, and saw Xu's mother finally earnestly advise them to be low-key, be careful in their work, and be especially attentive when making friends.

Father Xu expressed his grievances at the end of the letter, which can be roughly attributed to: The laws and regulations of the imperial court are somewhat unhumane! Why is the son out of breath, he can only give the mother's gift of life, and the father also pulls his son with a handful of and urine, but in the end nothing falls. It's not fair! He was not convinced!!

When Jin Niang saw this, she felt hehe.

Fortunately, this letter was sent directly by Xu Erlang's subordinates, and there was no other person's hand in the middle, otherwise, with Xu's father's last few words, Xu Erlang would not be able to end well.

Jin Niang thought again, after Eighty Cheng Xu's mother explained everything, she didn't read the letter anymore, otherwise she wouldn't let Xu's father write those rebellious remarks. Obviously, Mother Xu told them to be careful not to fall into the hands of others, but Father Xu immediately pulled their hind legs.

Pull the hind legs every day, don't pull the uncomfortable father Xu: "......"

After reading the letter, Xu Erlang said to Jinniang, "Burn it." ”

Jin Niang nodded naturally.

The words written by Xu's father are a bane, and it is better to deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be really troublesome if something happens one day.

The maid brought a small brazier, and Xu Erlang threw the letter into it. Seeing the letter swallowed by tongues of fire and turned into gray ashes, he let the maid go down.

Xu Erlang sat down beside Jin Niang and touched her high bulging belly, "How do you feel today?" ”

Jin Niang nodded, "The baby is very lively, and he moves a lot this day." At noon, Mrs. Gui came to see and said that the posture had not changed, and the fetal position had not yet come. ”

Xu Erlang sighed sadly, "It's a naughty one, not as well-behaved as his sister." ”

Jin Niang smiled and said, "I think too." This is going to be born, and he coldly gave me this hand again, but he really caught me off guard. ”

"When he comes out, I'll clean him up and avenge you."

"Okay."

Chang'an and Changping came over at this time, and they were going to leave for the entrance exam of Yingtian Academy the next day.

The exam lasts for two days, and on the first day, there are four books and five classics, hundreds of schools, plus calligraphy and painting. The second day of the exam was basically miscellaneous, including piano, chess, tea ceremony, and archery horses. In general, the proportion of the items in the second day of the exam is not much, only sporadic 120 points. As for whether you pass the exam or not, the key is to look at the situation of the first day of the exam.

But then again, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, even a few points, and it can be of great use at critical moments. Besides, I can't say that they are better in the latter few items, and they fall into the eyes of some gentlemen? In that case, it will really be called skyrocketing, and the feeling of being admitted directly is not too cool.

In light of this, almost everyone will take the exam the next day.

Chang'an and Changping were also preparing for the two-day exam, but because Yingtian Academy was far away in the suburbs of Beijing, it was a little far away from the capital, and it would take at least an hour to take a carriage to get there. And now the weather is very hot, and people who are hot at noon are sweaty, so the exam is scheduled very early. In case they were late, Chang'an and Changping accepted the kind reminders of Su Xuan and Su Zheng and prepared to go a day early.

Both of them are not low, and they can bluff people when they take them out. But they are still young, not to mention that Jin Niang is not at ease even if they live outside, even Xu Erlang is undecided.

But Xu Erlang can't leave, let alone go to the Yamen, even if Jinniang is about to give birth, and the fetal position is not correct, he is worried, and he can't go there.

He wanted Xu to take leave to come back, but Xu only had one day off in January, and he couldn't accompany Changping Chang'an to finish the exam when he came, which was also in vain.

Fortunately, Master Qian was willing to go over to "accompany the exam", and then arranged for Huhe to bring a few guards over to take care of him, which was also appropriate.

Jin Niang told Chang'an and Changping well, and said that Xu Erlang couldn't go, so that the two little boys should not be angry and not be depressed.

Chang'an Changping knew that the second uncle couldn't leave easily as an official, and the aunt had a big belly, and they were also worried that the uncle would follow them to the academy, and the aunt would not be able to rush back in time if the aunt mobilized the uncle, and the aunt had another case.

So now that they heard Jin Niang say this, the two of them were relieved, and they also said a lot of comforting words to Jin Niang.

Let Jinniang not worry about them, take care of the baby, and say that they are waiting to come back and have a little nephew. Of course, if the little nephews weren't so anxious, they could wait until they came back from Yingtian Academy to have another life, that would be the best.

Xu responded to Chang'an and Changping's statement, during the two of them went out to take the exam, Jinniang's belly was really peaceful, and there was no sign of production at all.

A good thing happened in the middle, Jin Niang's fetal position is correct.

Speaking of which, I would like to be grateful for the rain the next day.

The summer rain always came quickly and fiercely, but fortunately, the pouring rain stopped in only two hours. In the evening, fiery red clouds appeared in the sky, and Jin Niang couldn't help but go out to breathe and watch the scenery.

It's a pity that I didn't walk steadily with one foot, and I slipped out directly. Fortunately, Jin Niang reacted quickly, and Qingsui behind her reacted in time, and the master and servant quickly stabilized their bodies.

At that time, Jin Niang saw red under her, and the maids were all shocked, and hurriedly ran to call Gui Niangzi.

Gui Niangzi hasn't come yet, but Xu Erlang has arrived home first. Hearing the news, Xu Erlang's face also changed color, but fortunately, in the end, it turned out to be just a false alarm, not only that, but even a blessing in disguise.

Because Jinniang's movements were too big, or for other reasons, the baby in the womb turned over directly, and then the fetal position was stable.

Gui Niangzi, who came to this conclusion, also smiled, touched Jin Niang's stomach and said a few words, "This is really naughty." ”

Xu Erlang and Jin Niang are funny and happy. They also agree with Gui Niangzi's words, this baby in the belly is really naughty, not only naughty, but also loves to play pranks. This kind of temperament is really not something that anyone can bear.

Chang'an Changping soon returned from Yingtian Academy, Xu Erlang went to see Master Qian to understand the situation, and Jin Niang talked to the two teenagers.

The color of Chang'an and Changping is not bad, and they can even happily compare what they have seen and heard in the past two days, and tell Jinniang that it is lively.

It can be seen that the two of them should be able to take the test, and Jin Niang's heart is slightly relaxed.

Later, Xu Erlang came back, and the family had a reunion dinner, talked for a while, and then dispersed.

Pian Pian, Changle, and Xiao Yu'er were still curious about Chang'an Changping's exam in Yingtian Academy, so they followed them to the courtyard of the two of them.

Pian Pian also wants to go to the academy to play, but unfortunately there is no women's academy in this world, and ordinary academies only accept male students, not female students, so she can only give up if she wants to go to the academy.

But it's okay to listen to the excitement, and you can always imagine it, it's also fun, isn't it?

A few of the children said that it was getting late, and there was no sign of dispersion. At this time, Jin Niang was already sleepy and yawned frequently, she really couldn't stand it, so she could only hand over the matter to Xu Erlang and tell him to go see a few children and let them disperse to rest early.

Xu Erlang responded helplessly, and personally went to urge a few children, Jin Niang was satisfied, her head was tilted, and she fell asleep on the pillow.

In the middle of the night, Jinniang felt a burst of pain.

The pain was shallow at first, and then it slowly deepened, and it became more and more painful, and it became more and more painful......

Jin Niang sat up suddenly, and quickly shook Xu Erlang beside her, "I'm going to give birth to ......"
