Chapter Ninety-Three: The Imperial Examination Comes to an End
"But my cousin is really not suitable for marriage, and I don't know much about others, who knows?"
Wu Xiang stammered for a long time, and finally gave Jinshu such a conclusion.
Jinshu raised his hand and touched his forehead, hesitated for a moment but said: "Make a decision early, shoot quickly, and start ruthlessly." ”
Wu Xiang turned his head and stared at her in horror when he heard this: "Cousin, I just chose a county master......
If you call someone else, maybe tonight Jinshu will smile and pretend to be a quail and say something nice to fool the past. But she has been with Wu Xiang for a long time, and even if Jinshu is slow and hot, she gradually has feelings. happened to encounter such a night when Hua Qianyue drank too much, and for a while she sighed in her heart and talked more.
So she analyzed the current situation for Wu Xiang. Of course, among the following words, eight out of ten sentences are from the king Concubine Jing.
Speaking of this scientific expedition alone, Guo Mingli, Wu Mu, and Duan Lankang were among the top three. I heard that Wu Mu's family had already set a baby kiss for him, so in this way, in case Concubine Ning didn't grab Guo Mingli, she had to shift her target and stare at a boy like Duan Lankang who had an innocent and clean family background. Wu Xiang competed with the fifth princess, and the emperor's eccentric must have taken care of his own girl first.
Let's talk about the international situation.
Da Liang and the Northern Night Kingdom have been in love and killed each other for more than ten years, and finally met a peace-loving and longing for the sixth emperor of the Northern Night Kingdom, but what was the result? The eldest son Yu Wenbai came to Daliang and was beaten and killed, and his daughter Yu Wennan married the second prince not long ago, and because the second prince rebelled and left to be a leftover girl. Now that the international situation is tense, this time the emperor wants to take the initiative to send someone there to ease the relationship between the two countries by taking the opportunity of marrying Yuwenqiao.
But all the royal eyes were left with the fifth princess and the twelve-year-old seventh princess. Concubine Ning's ability and the temper of the fifth princess are not the best candidates for harmony. There are few daughters in the clan, and now the only ones who can be drawn out are Gao Shiyuan and Wu Xiang.
After such an analysis, Wu Xiang's little face turned pale and he slapped the table and said, "It seems that I have to get married quickly!" ”
Jin Shu was a little drunk, she nodded lightly, stared at Wu Xiang with her arms and smiled.
Wu Xiang walked around the flower hall several times with a bitter face, looking at Jinshu sitting on the chair in a daze and distracted, looking calm and calm, he couldn't help but go over and take her hand and beg: "My good sister, tell me quickly, what should I do?" Don't you want to marry that Duan Lankang is the best choice? ”
Helping others make decisions is something that Jinshu never does. She thought about the organizational language for a moment and said, "Cousin, I'm not you, I can only understand you but can't empathize." If I give you blind advice, it will be called standing and talking without backache. ”
Wu Xiang was stunned.
The sisters chatted a few more words, and when they returned to the feast, it was nearing its end.
The moon is bright and the stars are thin, the voices are fading, the silk and bamboo have been withdrawn, and the guests are slowly dispersed.
Wang personally sent his eldest sister out of the house. Her eldest sister Wang Jixian married a showman from a small family, and now her life is okay. Before going out, she suddenly turned around and asked, "Third sister, are you still in charge of the affairs of the Shen Mansion now?" ”
Wang hesitated for a moment and nodded: "It's me, why did the eldest sister suddenly ask this?" ”
"Didn't your princess brother and sister-in-law ever ask you for the account book of the house?" Wang Jixian asked.
"I haven't ......" Wang didn't think much about it, only smiled: "The sixth princess is a child, she doesn't care about these things, and she has never asked." ”
Hearing her say this, Wang Jixian shook his head and sighed: "Are you confused about this matter?" What is the identity of the princess, and what is our identity? To put it mildly, although you are the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, you don't have a son under your knees, and the title of the grandfather of this country in the future will inevitably fall on Shen Zhizhang. In the future, your mother and daughter will have to live under the princess! How long has it been since the sixth princess of the family got married, and you still hold on to the housekeeping rights? What do you think about others? ”
"This ......" Wang was taken aback: "Eldest sister, I don't ...... like this"
"Still say no?" Wang Jixian raised his hand and poked her head: "Jizhen, look at your behavior tonight, greeting guests like a proper hostess." I know that you are worried about the princess and uncle to hold a thank-you banquet, but I don't know, I thought that your husband was successful! ”
"Eldest sister, tonight's banquet is indeed organized by me." Wang couldn't help but defend a few words in a hurry: "But the sixth princess, she really doesn't care about these things, and I'm ...... too."
"Alright." Wang Jixian raised his eyelids and looked around quickly, seeing that it was not too early, and the speed of his speech became much faster: "I don't know about the sixth princess. I only know that your husband is not in good health, and you two will have to rely on others in the future. Is there a woman in the world who doesn't like to be the master of the house? Why should you listen to the arrangements of others when you can make your own decisions? My words have come to this, the third sister thinks about it for herself, the eldest sister is also for your good, I am afraid that you will offend the princess and don't know it. ”
Wang silently watched the eldest sister Wang Jixian get into the carriage quickly, the carriage creaked forward, and a small lamp behind the carriage became farther and farther away, and the light gradually disappeared into darkness.
On the way back, Wang fell into deep thought.
The Shen family has always been harmonious, and the matter of brothers fighting for family property has never been staged. Even if Shen Zhizhang married a sixth princess, he has a good temperament like an old monk and never cares about any idle things. Even if you chase after her ass and let her call the shots, everyone is the word "you decide".
Therefore, in the past few years, the Wang housekeeper has been ruling by himself, and he doesn't feel any different. But Sister Fangcai's words made her suddenly panic.
Obviously she is the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, why is she in charge of the family? Besides, Shen Zhiyan's health has been getting worse and worse in the past two years, and it will definitely be Shen Zhizhang who will inherit the title in the future. When the time comes, Shen Ruyi ......
As soon as he thought of Shen Ruyi, Wang's tears suddenly fell. In the future, the marriage of Ruyi will be decided by the sixth princess......
Here, the Wang family is in a state of confusion, tossing and turning, and it is difficult to fall asleep, and over there, Shen Zhizhang is lying on the bed and belching with Erlang's legs crossed.
"I look at Zheng Wenke as if he is not doing well, he doesn't look like a young man!"
"Oh?" Jinshu was curious, put down the comb in his hand and chatted with him: "What's wrong with him?" ”
"Hey! I learned a big secret today, and he drank too much tonight and said that he leaked his mouth......" Shen Zhizhang gossiped and suddenly got up, and immediately got up and said with a spirit: "I told you, don't tell others." I heard Zheng Wenke say that the eldest princess gave him a palace maid beside her as a concubine, but the concubine seemed to be pregnant a while ago. The eldest princess even took the children together......"
"Oh my God? Really? So bloody? Jin Shu was also startled when he heard it: "There is such a big thing, why is there no movement at all?" ”
"Celestia princess, can you listen to the sound?" Shen Zhizhang rolled his eyes: "This matter was handled secretly, it is said that the concubine fell into the water, but who knows if it is or not!" ”
"Huh......" Jinshu only felt a chill on his back: "It's terrible......"
"Brother Zheng originally wanted to seek justice with the eldest princess, but ......" Shen Zhizhang sighed and sympathized with him: "As a result, he is still sleeping in the study......
"The big colt is so tough?" Jin Shu threw off his shoes and went to bed, and sighed while pulling the quilt: "Would you rather sleep in the study than be angry?" ”
"What do you want? Can you have some basic qualities to be a princess? Shen Zhizhang couldn't cry or laugh, raised his hand and pinched her cheek and said, "I was punished to go to the study, and I was not allowed to be admitted to the hospital unless I was called." ”
Jin Shu lay down and blinked his eyes, thinking about what his grandmother said before getting married, it seems that there is such a thing, and when the horse enters the princess's room, he has to make an application report in advance and wait for approval.
It's a pity that she didn't follow this excellent rule...... Mistakes, mistakes......
Thinking of this, Jinshu immediately raised his leg and gave him a kick: "Go out, make a report and come back in." ”
……
Shen Zhizhang looked confused: "What are you doing?" ”
"I just want you to have a little bit of the basic literacy of being a colt. Go out and ask for instructions, and I'll let you in and come in again. Jin Shu said triumphantly.
Shen Zhizhang thought for a moment, and immediately smiled and bent down beside her to throw her flattering eyes: "Our Jinshu is so well-behaved, so beautiful and kind, but we don't learn from those bad people, right?" ”
"This is the basic quality of you and me." She pretended to be serious and said: "You can also move back in the future, I will call you to ......" Before she could finish speaking, she was gagged. Shen Zhizhang leaned over and gave her a long, *lingering*sympathetic*gentle and passionate kiss.
After kissing, both of them had a little hot cheeks, and there was more inappropriate affection in their eyes when they looked at each other.
"You said last time you couldn't move back until you passed the test." Shen Zhizhang whispered in her ear, and the warm breath rushed to her neck against her cheeks. Jinshu heard him deliberately say in a gentle voice: "I've passed all the exams." ”
"Hmm." Jin Shu recognized him: "You did it all." ”
"I've done what you wanted, and I've made a name for myself." Shen Zhizhang stared at her eyes with a smile, his eyes were shining, and his eyes were full of openness and gentleness: "Jinshu, no one can laugh at you with me anymore." ”
"Huh? What the? Jin Shu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What jokes are not jokes?" ”
Shen Zhizhang didn't answer, just smiled softly. His smile was less bright and flamboyant than before, and more mature and forbearing. It was as if the sharp stone had been sharpened off its sharp edges and corners, and it began to become warm and smooth.
Jin Shu suddenly felt a little sad at this moment.
She raised her hand and pinched his cheeks, and her hands pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, and said, "The smile is ugly, just like an old fox." It's not as silly as it used to be! ”
“…… Silly? Shen Zhizhang received a 10,000-point crit attack in his heart: "Shouldn't I be a graceful and graceful jade tree?" ”
Jin Shu twitched the corners of his mouth: "How many dishes?" Drunk like this? People are self-aware. ”
"Don't you love my handsome face?" Shen Zhizhang touched his cheek and looked confused: "Is it because you love my talent?" But it doesn't matter, in the future, the master will be an official master with both talents and appearances. I have everything you love. ”
Jin Shu finally couldn't help giggling, and she laughed while avoiding the kiss he fell: "Although you are ugly, you think it is quite beautiful!" Oops, don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss, it smells of alcohol, it smells bad to death...... Not...... Not...... Hate ......"
In the end, she was the one who disarmed and surrendered, kneeling on the ground and "begging for mercy". After all, there is a huge disparity in strength between men and women, and after a "battle", Jinshu couldn't even lift his eyelids, he was drowsy, and his consciousness gradually blurred.
At this time, Shen Zhizhang was refreshed, he hugged the brocade book, silently stared at her sleeping face, and gently patted her back with his hand to coax her to sleep.
At this time, he suddenly remembered what Zheng Wenke had said to him at the banquet.
"In the five years of husband and wife, I have never felt that she is so cold." Zheng Wenke raised his glass and drank down, and the wide-sleeved robe quickly wiped away a tear from the corner of his eye before he had time to fall. He pretended to shrug his shoulders relaxedly, turned his head and asked, "I am destined to be involuntary in this life." What about you? Can...... The six princesses of the heart? ”
Happy?
Shen Zhizhang lowered his head slightly and kissed Jinshu's forehead, smiling lightly.
She is not the bright and moving beauty he longed for when he was young. She was neither intelligent nor virtuous, nor was she like Fleur, who chased after him every day and said such and such nice things about loving him.
She is lazy with her cleverness and law, she is indifferent and rational, she is not concerned with herself, she is greedy for money and delicious food, and she is happier than him when she has the opportunity. But she is real and passionate, soft and stubborn. How difficult it is to approach on the surface, how enthusiastic it is in the heart. A heart is always a soft mess.
It was a quiet spring night, and a light rain suddenly fell outside the window. Jin Shu rubbed it into his arms and gradually fell asleep.
The corners of Shen Zhizhang's mouth raised slightly, and he remembered that he replied to Zheng Wenke like this:
"She was just my wife before, and my wife is just her in the future."
Zheng Wenke poured his hand for a moment, his smile was a little more bitter, he raised his hand and patted his shoulder hard, and he leaned forward half of his body with a palm: "Why bother to show in front of my eyes?" ”
Shen Zhizhang spread his hands: "You asked for it, you have to ask!" ”
Today's Shen Zhizhang is infinitely beautiful.
The red robe is in the body, and the beauty is in the arms.
Tomorrow is promising, and the future is in sight.
"I am pleased with you, and in the future, I will be your light."
