For fourteen-year-old Bai Ling and twenty-year-old Bai Yi, the most troublesome and funniest thing is probably marriage.

The girl is fourteen years old, and in the impression of these two people, most of them are still the age when adults are strictly guarded, for fear that children will engage in early love and affect their learning.

Here, however, at the age of fourteen, half a foot has stepped into the ranks of old girls.

Not to mention that Bai Yi is twenty years old and does not get married.

However, the crowd has always been more tolerant of men.

In the past few years, Bai Shijun and Bai Yi have really realized what it means to "have a woman in a family".

Some people say that they are more subtle, here Bai Shijun and Bai Yi said "the child is not ready", and they understood over there, and some directly began to put the situation and reason-

Fourteen years old is really not young, these ten miles and eight towns, but anyone who has a little face, who has not told the family after sixteen, that is to be poked in the backbone by the neighbors.

Bai Yi listened with question marks - he had already learned this set of rhetoric when Song Ne came before, but he didn't expect it to be repeated over and over again.

Ordinary matchmakers can basically read their faces at this time, but when they encounter some illiterate people, they often continue to say that those who can't get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen must have something wrong - either the characters are too hard, or the temperament is too tiger, or the appearance is stumbling, or there is some hidden disease on the body......

Anyway, a girl from a good family, in addition to going to a high place - such as sending it to the palace, there is definitely no one who is not sure to marry after fifteen.

Generally speaking, when it comes to this point, Bai Yi goes directly to the backyard to get a broom.

In the past three years, the palace has also pushed the selection of concubines twice.

In the imperial court, everyone remembers that Emperor Qitai died less than a month after he ascended the throne.

They also still remember that when Emperor Shengming ascended the throne, he was almost ineffective at the enthronement ceremony - at that time, everyone muttered in their hearts, how long can this young emperor last?

But in the hardest days that followed, the boy survived.

The first major event after Emperor Shengming ascended the throne was the reorganization of the cabinet, officially worshipping Sun Beiji as the first auxiliary minister and secretary of the ministry, and Zhang Shouzhong as the second assistant and secretary of the military department.

In the past, when the Song Party was in power, the two of them were obscure, but now the situation is irreversible, and the two no longer have taboos.

The new personnel appointments have brought about a new atmosphere, and externally, the monarchs and ministers are united, and the ambitions of the main battle faction are sharp, and there are no more constraints; Internally, everyone turned their attention to Chen Yicong's empty harem - Your Majesty, you still have to leave the dragon heir as soon as possible.

However, Chen Yicong himself was not in a hurry, and he did not leave any of the beauties who were finally sent to the palace after many screenings.

- "The gold thief has not been destroyed, why is it a home." ”

Chen Yicong said so, and the ministers couldn't find fault.

However, the eunuchs of the inner palace still meticulously fulfilled their duties, observing the emperor's preferences - he was cold to which beauty he was cold and gentle to which beauty he was in the selection, and even showed a smile...... The eunuchs are recorded in the book.

Relying on these nuanced observations, the folk aesthetics of the Shengming Dynasty also changed quickly.

At that time, Emperor Jianxi favored beautiful women who were good at riding and shooting, and during his reign, the trend of women's riding and archery swept all over the country;

And now Chen Yicong is the opposite, only those girls with a bookish atmosphere can get his blue eyes, if he talks freely, and there is a bit of atmosphere in the beauty, even if he does not stay in the palace, he will give some extra rewards;

As a result, the requirements for daily classes quickly increased from "literacy and hyphenation" to "reading poetry and books", and even occasionally had to learn strategy like men.

Of course, this is a lot of expenses, but even if you can't afford it, it doesn't matter, Emperor Shengming still has an itch.

The eunuchs once left such a record - it was a girl who didn't read much, but her nails were beautiful, so Chen Yicong looked at the hands and was distracted for a while.

In the end, although he didn't say anything to the girl, he still let people leave a big reward.

So as long as you take care of your nails, you may be able to win the emperor's favor.

In the past three years, Bai Ling still entered the palace on time every day most of the time, went home on time, and occasionally encountered heavy rain and wind, and would temporarily stay in the courtyard of the palace for one night.

According to Emperor Jianxi's will, in the past three years, Bai Ling dismantled the psychological lecture book into several small courses on several topics, and told Chen Yicong as it was.

In the spring of the second year of Shengming, Chen Yicong insisted on a northern tour despite the opposition of his courtiers—this time the northern tour lasted seven months, and Bai Ling did not follow, but Bai Yi was assigned to accompany him on the trip, and he tried to bring the disinfection methods and care knowledge that had been popularized in the Pingjing area to other places.

But it is a pity that as soon as he followed the emperor's chariot and horse, all the rules and drawings he left behind were put on the shelf, and the military doctors in various places had their own set of rules, and no one took to heart the words of a little-known doctor in Beijing.

After the Northern Tour, Bai Ling continued her course with the previous progress.

The course is still going on today, but since she started teaching Chen Yicong to the present, there has never been any companion reading.

From beginning to end, there was only Chen Yicong alone.

Chen Yicong learned very well, half because he was really smart, and the other half was what he said to Bai Ling, and he would hardly miss it.

He and Bai Ling had an argument about some things, and a few times it made Bai Ling's face a little gloomy.

The most troublesome one had nothing to do with the end of the homework - it was he who asked Bai Ling for several days why he didn't use the whale wax he sent, and Bai Ling was annoyed by the question, and ignored him for three or four days after that.

However, Chen Yicong now will no longer be as overwhelmed as he was three years ago.

At some moments, he even felt that Bai Ling's appearance of not speaking because he was angry was a little cuter than usual.

It's been three years, and that courtyard still has no name, only the "Zhenshan Liufang" rewarded by Emperor Jianxi is still hanging in the center of the main hall, overlooking everything wordlessly.

……

November of the third year of Shengming.

In the early morning, it was cold and cloudy, and it was really unbearable.

However, the three members of the Bai family still got up according to the time, Bai Yi and Bai Ling were busy in the kitchen, and the two of them still cooperated with the fire to cook as before, while Bai Shijun was alone in the house and began to routinely check his and Bai Yi's medicine box today.

After eating, the three of them went out together.

Bai Shijun and Bai Yi went to the Tai Hospital, and Bai Ling entered the palace.

The days are back to normal.

The courtiers also got up early in the morning and entered the palace to participate in today's morning court.

Outside the Taihe Palace, all the ministers who were waiting to enter the hall had tense faces—because the matter that Emperor Shengming was going to discuss today was not trivial.
