Jin Niang is so optimistic about this family affair, on the one hand, because the Song family has strict rules and is a well-known upright family in several state capitals near and far. The elders in the family are all generous, upright and upright people. Outsiders often use "high morality", "high wind and bright festival", "do not deceive the dark room", "do not forget the ravine" and "pure heart" to describe the mountain chief of Qingyang Academy, which shows that they have a high evaluation in the hearts of the world.

Even the female elders are also transparent, kind, and fair, and have their own standards for dealing with the world and teaching their children and grandchildren.

Such a person is really hard to find with a lantern.

It is also for this reason that as soon as the children and grandchildren of the Song family were born, many people came to the door to beg to be doll relatives. The boy's family is popular, and the daughter of the Song family is the same.

However, this afternoon, Jin Niang asked the old people in the house, and learned that there are four little girls in the Song family's generation, and two older ones will get married this year and next year; One is the same age as Brother Rong, and he just decided on someone a few months ago; There is also a less than six months old ...... No matter which one of them matches her children, otherwise Jin Niang would like to ask a little girl to come over and be her daughter-in-law.

The daughter-in-law couldn't ask for it, but it didn't prevent her from wanting to marry the Song family. Therefore, it would be good to let Changle marry him.

In addition to his outstanding appearance, Yu'an has a good character, and his knowledge is also particularly outstanding. He is known as "Yulang" in Qizhou, and is highly respected by scholars, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the leader of the contemporary Qingyang Academy.

And Yu'an is not only famous in Qizhou, but also in the entire south of the Yangtze River, who doesn't know that Qizhou Yulang has a good character, flawless appearance, and outstanding learning?

This is a typical child of other people's families.

Jin Niang had a very good impression of Song Yu'an, who had never been masked, and asked the servant to learn that Yu'an had not yet made a marriage, so the idea of matching him and Changle was even stronger.

However, Xu Erlang shook his head to break her illusions, "Changle doesn't agree, don't pull the red line." ”

Jin Niang was dissatisfied, "How do you know if Changle is unhappy?" Changle told you about this? Don't make decisions for Changle and veto this family business, I think this family business is very good, anyway, I agree with it. ”

Changle didn't tell me, but everything she thought was written on her face. In the morning, when you hinted at this, Changle was a little resistant. Yu'an's child is good, but he is the eldest son of the Song family, according to the convention, he will not enter the office in the future, and will only inherit Qingyang Academy, that is, he wants to return to Qizhou, are you willing to marry Changle to Qizhou? ”

The Song family really has a tradition that the eldest son does not go out of office, and even if the descendants of the Song family are knowledgeable, they are indifferent to fame and fortune, and Xu is not tactful enough to deal with the deceit of officialdom. After all, the descendants of the Song family will participate in the imperial examination, but after passing the examination, they will directly return to their hometown to continue teaching.

Qingyang Academy said that there were many great Confucian scholars who settled down to teach their children, but most of them were still surnamed "Song". It's not an exaggeration to say it's a family college. It's just that because relatives and neighbors want to send their children to study, this "clan study" is slowly opened to the outside world, so that it has slowly developed into what it is today, and it has become the premier academy in Jiangnan and even in the entire Daqi.

Jin Niang also knew that the eldest son of the Song family was the head of Qingyang Academy, but this was not a long time since Song Mingqian inherited the family business, and Song Yuan was still a little immature, so she didn't think about it so much?

But when I thought that Song Yu'an would inherit Qingyang Academy in the future, Changle would really marry him, they were better in Tongzhou, and it was convenient to come and go, but after Xu Erlang was transferred back to the capital, wouldn't it be difficult for Changle to see his family again? It's just that they, the elders, want to see their own girls, but they can only think about it in their hearts, and they can't say that they can see it?

Thinking about it like this, Jin Niang was like being poured a basin of cold water on her head on a cold day, and all her expectations for this marriage came to naught.

She didn't mention it again, and Xu Erlang wouldn't say anything more. The husband and wife were exhausted for the past few days, and soon hugged each other and fell asleep.

The day after tomorrow, Xu Erlang deliberately set aside half a day to entertain the son of the same department.

Song Yu'an is really as described by the world, when he is really jade-faced, talented, well-mannered, and gentlemanly.

When Jin Niang saw this child, the dead heart, wanting Song Yu'an to be her son-in-law, she couldn't help but start beating again. However, from the Q&A between Song Yu'an and Xu Erlang, I understood that this child would really follow the old path his father had taken, participate in the imperial examination first, and return to his hometown to "inherit the family business" after passing the examination.

The expression on her face was unpredictable, but fortunately, she was still able to control it, and she finally did not lose her temper.

But looking at Song Yu'an, Jin Niang couldn't help beating her chest.

What a good son-in-law candidate, but it's a pity that she can't really be her son-in-law. It's like knowing the numbers of the next lottery draw, but because of your own negligence, you didn't buy a lottery ticket, and as a result, you missed a billion alive.

It's very anxious, it's very remorseful, and it's uncomfortable to scratch my heart and lungs.

Changqi is very close to Song Yu'an, Xu is because Song Yu'an relieved her, Xu is Song Yu'an's face is completely in her aesthetics, and Xiao Changqi is very attached to Song Yu'an.

For this reason, Chang'an and Brother Rong were a little jealous, but it was not good to attack when the guests were there, so they could only stare at Changqi fiercely.

Changqi didn't see the eyes of her brothers, she was talking to Song Yu'an, "Brother Yu'an, you are really like a god, you told me that day, my sister Xu has already returned to the house, but they really arrived at the house early." It would be nice if I went out with my third brother, so that I could pick up my sister, but unfortunately I ran out by myself......"

Speaking of the sequelae of running out, Changqi wanted to shed tears of remorse. Her mother punished her for copying the Analects twice. There are so many words on the Analects, she writes them with her heart, and she has to finish them in five days, so difficult.

Changqi told Song Yu'an about this, and Xiao Yu'er and Changle wanted to stop her.

The little girl doesn't care about the film, and all the good and bad are told to others. Even if this is the elder brother of the uncle's family, she hasn't met a few times, why doesn't she know that it is taboo to talk about it? She didn't keep her mouth open, she purred out of everything, but some words were still unclear, so listening to it in the ears of outsiders, it was like her father and mother abusing her, didn't this ruin her father's reputation?

Xu Erlang had already gone out, and the matter of investigating the whereabouts of the iron ore had an eyebrow, and Mohe specially came to report. This matter is very important, Lord Wu and Lord Ke will listen to the matter to the sky, and now Emperor Yunwen is also very concerned about this, and Xu Erlang has to pay more attention.

This matter must not be negligent, Xu Erlang was busy dealing with it, so he took the first step. He left with his front foot, and Qinghe on his back foot came over and said something in Jin Niang's ear, and then Jin Niang also went out.

The Lisan lady from before came over again.

was sent out earlier, and I hadn't even seen Jinniang's face, and then I heard that I had met Xu Erlang twice, but before I could get forward, I was separated by Mohe and others. After that, Li Sanniang Xu was dead, Xu was waiting for another opportunity, so she never attacked rashly.

Jin Niang also privately speculated that this Lisan Niangzi had any other plans, and she didn't want to come to the door again this time, and threatened the people on the door that there was something big to tell her, if she didn't see her and missed the news, it would be difficult to make progress in exploring the family in the future.

Jin Niang doesn't know if this is alarmist, but it is related to several major families in Tongzhou, so why not see her. If things are really as she said, it's okay, if she says it to fool her, she also has the means to make her unable to eat and walk around.

In view of the fact that Xu Erlang and Jin Niang, the two elders, have left, and now there are naturally some juniors left in the flower hall.

There are not so many taboos between their juniors, and they naturally speak more casually.

Xiao Yu'er heard Changqi and Song Yu'an say that her mother punished her for copying books, so she couldn't help but open her mouth to explain a few sentences for her mother, "It's just that Changqi is too jumpy, she relies on her own kung fu to do such dangerous things." In the past, my father was spoiled, and my mother also turned a blind eye, but now it is not possible to go to Tongzhou. There is still chaos here, and although some of the things my father did were to eliminate harm for the people, they could touch the interests of some people, and they would inevitably be retaliated against. My sister and I rarely go out, so it's not dangerous, but Changqi is different. She doesn't have much fear, and people are very naughty, so if she doesn't control her well, let her learn a lesson, and she will definitely make a mistake in this in the future. ”

Changle also wanted to say a few words, but remembering what her aunt meant yesterday, her thoughts were suddenly dispelled.

She doesn't want to say kiss now, and she doesn't know what kind of person she will talk about in the future. But no matter what, she doesn't think she will keep this place in Jiangnan forever. She is very seasick, and she should settle in a place with few rivers in the future. As for her future husband...... Probably not a reader.

A face flashed in his mind, and the man's gloomy eyes made Changle's heart tremble. She quickly shook her head, threw out everything that shouldn't have been, and quickly regained her composure.

Changle thought about "avoiding suspicion", so he didn't say much, but Chang'an and Brother Rong also said a few words.

The brothers and sisters all said that they deserved to be punished, which made Changqi unhappy. She bit her fingers, hung her little head, and looked very depressed.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu'er was a little unbearable, poked her sister's little twitch and said, "Don't pretend, we didn't say anything about you, you see that you are still wronged." Isn't it me and my sister who should really be wronged? We were waiting for you to come and pick us up and surprise us, but you ended up on your own. ”

Brother Rong also said, "I am also wronged." Changqi, you are not kind, do you want to pick up your sister and tell me in advance, even if you don't go all the way with me, you can inform me in advance. As a result, you got lost, I didn't do anything, and I was inexplicably beaten by my mother. When it comes to grievances, I am even more wronged. ”

Changqi looked at her brother and sister, and she didn't know what expression to put on for a while. Obviously, she wants her brothers and sisters to feel guilty, why is she guilty now?

Song Yu'an looked at their brother and sister with a smile on the corner of her lips, laughing and joking, with a brisk look on her face.

The younger sisters in the family are all well-read and well-behaved girls. This is also very good, but because I am too knowledgeable, I rarely see such a lively and agile side.

He couldn't help but touch Changqi's little tugs again, but before he could remove his hand, he felt that someone was watching him.

Song Yu'an made a movement in his hand, turned his head sideways, and saw that it was really Xiao Yu'er looking at her.

Xiao Yu'er is a very bright look, even if she is still young now, her facial features are not fully opened, but she has inherited Jinniang's excellent genes, and her appearance is also very delicate and outstanding. She has been good-looking since she was a child, and she is also a flamboyant and bright personality, no matter whether she talks or laughs, her facial expression is very gorgeous, and people can't help but look at it again and again.

Xiao Yu'er looked at Song Yu'an generously, and when she saw him coming, she didn't worry. She was more than three years younger than Song Yu'an, so she called him "Brother Yu'an".

"Brother Yu'an, do you also like Changqi's little teasing? I would also like. Haha, Changqi's little trolling, if she is happy, the little trolling, is also arrogant; If Changqi is unhappy, Xiao Qi pulled down and looked very weak. ”

Changqi was momentarily stunned, what was her sister talking about, she couldn't understand it.

It was Chang'an, Brother Rong and Changle who couldn't help but laugh out loud when they heard the words.

Xiao Yu'er didn't say that they hadn't found out about it yet, but as soon as Xiao Yu'er said it, they suddenly felt really very expressive, and they felt even more funny for a while.

Song Yu'an and Chang'an are of the same age, both of them are also lifters, and they are both ready to carefully polish for a few years before participating in the next Qiu Yu, which is why the two have more topics to talk about.

After that, it became Chang'an and Song Yu'an's small talk back and forth, Brother Rong interjected from time to time to ask what a few words, and the three of them chatted about the deed, Changle and Xiaoyuer and Changqi sat on the side eating the fruit and listening to them.

They talked about some academic things, and Changle and a few people found it boring, but when it came to things related to Qingyang Academy and Yingtian Academy, Changle and Xiaoyuer listened to it with taste.

Xu was aware of their concentration, and after that, he didn't know who was guiding the topic, so he talked a lot about the academy.

Qingyang Academy, in particular, is truly the premier academy in Jiangnan. There are more than 2,000 students among them, which is a very, very large number.

"In the academy, not only the poetry and scriptures related to the imperial examination are taught, but also the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the riding of archery and horses are also taught. Others, such as arithmetic, medicine, divination, and astrology, were also taught by the Master. There are also many students in engineering and instrumental science, agriculture, and water control. ”

Poetry and scripture are also taught in Yingtian Academy, such as poetry and chess, calligraphy and painting, riding and arching horses. It can even be said that among the top four academies in Daqi, there is no shortage of these subjects. But there are no such things as arithmetic, medicine, divination, astrology, engineering, instrumentalism, agriculture, and water control. Because it has nothing to do with the imperial examination, naturally there is no academy that is thankless to open these disciplines.

But I have to say that there are very few people who can really stand out in the imperial examination. And most people either stop at gaining a certain fame, or they really have no talent for reading, and it is difficult to move an inch in the imperial examination.

At this time, if they develop their interest and talent in other things, it is tantamount to giving them a way to make a living. In this way, even if these students are really unable to take the road of the imperial examination, they will not be sad in the future.
