Chapter 352: Difficult to Settle
In the bedroom, An Gezai carefully looked at the half of the tiger talisman, and after a long time, he sighed and said: "Er'er is also going to be like you, working hard for Dali." ”
Jing Lan reached out and pinched her face, and said with a smile: "You fell in love with me at the beginning, wasn't it because the Jing family has served the country for generations?" Serving the country is a man's glory. ”
"Hmm......" An Ge nodded, she didn't deny this, everyone in Dali loved General Jing, and the teahouse theater wrote countless different kinds of books about how Jing Lan fought on the battlefield when he was a teenager, and she was no exception, and loved Jing Lan as much as the people.
But that was before...... When she didn't treat him as a family, she could say anything about benevolence and righteousness, but now, where is she willing to let her husband and children go out to fight?
Jing Lan suddenly wrapped his arms around her from behind, put his head on her shoulder, and whispered in her ear: "The country cannot be burdened, and the family cannot be burdened, I promise you, I will live well and live until Er'er becomes a family." ”
An Ge turned his head and also stretched out his hand to hug him: "It's not enough to live until Er'er gets married, you have to wait for your grandson to be born, and wait for your great-grandson to be born." ”
"Well, let's wait."
……
The days are getting better day by day, and within a few days of Jing Lan's return, it seems that he has returned to the days before marriage, and he has to be left in the palace by Yin Mu every day, either personally instructing Prince Yan to practice martial arts, or handling government affairs with Yin Mu.
An Ge didn't ask much about the affairs of the court, she asked Jinglan to ask Nanshan and Wang Yiyao for a favor, and forgave them for their initial crimes, Nanshan's shop was not done in Beicheng, and Wang Yiyao's mansion newspaper was too, so the two of them also returned to Beijing with their belongings half a month after An Ge returned.
Nanshan contacted the guys from the previous chicken shop and the eight groups of people, and soon, the world's first chicken shop was reopened, and it had already made a name for itself before, and Nanshan's handsome face was also sought after by girls in the capital, so the world's first chicken shop soon rose again in the capital.
"Beijing Daily" was also allowed to do it again, but Yin Mu was afraid that they would write something more, so he specially asked Xu Qi to study a series of rules, such as compiling and issuing issue numbers to all the Di newspapers in the capital, so that they could investigate and manage them one by one.
He also asked all the people who wrote the Di Bao to take the examination they had studied, and to take the Bagu Wen test like the imperial examination, to see if their thinking was correct, and if the examiner saw that there was a little bit of disloyalty and patriotism in the article, then he would not write the Di Bao.
As soon as this rule came out, it made most of the literati in the capital suffer. Many of the people who do Di Bao are the same as Wang Yiyao, they originally wrote scripts, their writing is free and easy, and they mainly tell stories, they have never read Bagu Wen, even if they were forced to read and learn when they were children, they also looked down on those crepe and boring things in their hearts, and they didn't know how to write at all.
Even when An Ge was a child, she listened to the official father talk about the government at home every day, and really asked her to write a serious eight shares, she wouldn't know it.
Only those who are formally enumerated by Liu Yongxu and Liang Zifeng feel handy.
An Ge and Wang Yiyao have been together and scolded Xu Qi for a long time, he is so pedantic at such a young age, no wonder he can't find a daughter-in-law at such an old age.
But the arm can't twist the thigh, if you don't obey, then you can only give up this line of work obediently...... The two of them were reluctant to give up their careers, so they went to the Dibao Mansion every day and asked Liu Yongxu and Liang Zifeng, two people who had participated in the imperial examination, how to write a Bagu essay.
An Ge didn't learn much because he had to spend energy with his children and deal with some chores at home, and Wang Yiyao went to consult Liu Yongxu almost every day, and he worked very hard, everyone felt that Wang Yiyao
I will definitely be able to pass the test, and then re-do the "Beijing Daily".
As for Ange...... People are already married and have children, so they silently become the behind-the-scenes boss of "Beijing Daily", and they can just collect money.
On the day of the exam, all the people in the capital who made the Di Bao went, and An Ge looked at the people in the examination room, only to know that after she left the capital, there were so many new Di Bao newspapers.
The examination room is the examination room used for the scientific examination, one person and one room, to prevent cheating, the examiner keeps walking outside, some are timid, so scared that they can't hold the pen, and some are nervous to go to the thatched house several times in a row.
An Ge has experienced a lot of things, and this kind of small scene is no longer a problem. There was no thesis written on the question paper, only to play by himself, and An Ge thought that a small half of the people who came to the exam today were women, so he planned to write a useful theory on women's reading.
She also slapped Yin Mu's sycophants at the end of the article, saying that Dali's women can now sit in the examination room, all because the emperor is wise and has a lot of money.
Three days later, the results of the exam were released.
But the person who is very shocking is ...... An Ge didn't learn much, and Xu Qi, who wrote the sprinkling eight-strand text, applauded again and again, and won the first place. And Wang Yiyao ...... It didn't pass.
It's not that Wang Yiyao's writing is bad, it's that he doesn't have as strong a consciousness as An Ge, and An Ge avoids the affairs of the court, even if he can't avoid it, he has to talk about it, it's just a brush.
And Wang Yiyao actually discussed in the article that when there is a conflict between loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, it is necessary to put patriotism first and loyalty to the monarch last. Xu Qi angrily tore up the article, and scolded him for being rebellious, saying that loyalty to the monarch and patriotism are one, and told Wang Yiyao not to take the exam again in the future, and directly give up this business.
Wang Yiyao is now sad to death.
It's not that he's short of money, after all, Mr. Xiguo's scripts are still the best-selling ones on the market, and he can't starve to death when he writes a script. But now he has fallen in love with the sense of accomplishment of writing a newspaper and being able to share new things with others, but he can't pass the test!
And what hit him even more was that it was said that eighty percent of the people passed that day, and he was one of the most well-known masters in the capital, but he was actually the one who couldn't get by......
So he tried to find someone to plead for him, to give Xu Qi gifts, there were some dignitaries in the capital who pursued him before, last time he was wanted but was able to escape from the capital unharmed, in addition to Jinglan to help him, those nobles also reached out, he thought that it should be feasible to beg them.
Who knows, when those people heard that they were going to go to Xu Qi to intercede, they refused to agree one by one, saying that the iron-faced king of Hades would not give them face, and they would also seek humiliation if they went.
The blows again and again made Wang Yiyao low for several days......
An Ge has also been busy these days, the weather is hot and Er'er is greedy, he always kicks the quilt at night, and accidentally freezes, An Ge has been working hard to take care of Er'er, and he can't spare his mind to solve the problem for him.
On this day, the nurse drank the medicine and fed Er'er, and under the medicinal properties, Er'er became sleepy.
An Ge was hugging Er'er to coax him to sleep, when Ning Jiu suddenly came in and said, "Madam, Miss Liu is here." ”
"She's back? Bring her in. An Ge couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, she went to look for Liu Pingle the day after she returned to Beijing, but Lord Liu said very lonely that after the last incident, Liu Pingle and his wife never came back.
Before Ning Jiu went out, Liu Pingle's crisp voice as last year came from outside, and said, "I don't need to be taken by anyone, I am already familiar with the General's Mansion." ”
Then, Liu Pingle stepped in directly from the door,
Seeing the soft and glutinous little ball in An Ge's arms, his eyes lit up, and he didn't care about what to continue to say to An Ge, he stepped over in two steps, squatted down and teased him: "Oh my God...... He's, he's so soft...... It's so small......"
Ning Jiu saw that she was coming by herself, so she went out first and sent someone to make tea for her.
Er Er was sleepy, but when he saw someone coming to tease him, he also opened his eyes, stretched out his little hand and held one of Liu Pingle's fingers, and his two black eyes looked at Liu Pingle curiously, and Liu Pingle's heart melted.
An Ge looked at her again, I haven't seen her for a long time, she has lost a lot of weight, and she is more and more slender and good-looking than before, but her expression is still good, her face is white and red, it seems that she has been in the field for nearly two years, and her life is not bad.
An Ge smiled and asked, "Is Er'er good-looking?" ”
Liu Pingle nodded again and again.
"You quickly find a life and give Er'er a companion."
Hearing this, the smile on Liu Pingle's face gradually dimmed, he gently pulled his fingers out of Er'er's hand, turned around and brought a stool over, and said to An Ge with a bitter face: "Why are you like my father and mother, urging marriage all day long." ”
An Ge hurriedly shook his head: "I don't urge you, I will support you in whatever you do." But ask yourself, do you really not want to get married and have children, or do you want to, but don't have a chance? ”
Liu Pingle looked at her helplessly and said, "Can you not speak so straight?" ”
She let out a long sigh, and then said: "An Ge, last year my mother and I went back to my grandfather's house, which was far away from the capital, so I only found out about what you experienced in the capital a long, long time later, if I had known, I would have come back to face it with you." ”
An Ge chuckled: "At that time, I was glad that you were not in the capital, otherwise you would have to be in a hurry, after all, it was that person...... Forget it, it's all over, and now that we're all fine, it's the best. ”
Liu Pingle smiled, nodded and continued: "During my time at my grandfather's house, my mother thought I was old and showed me a lot of men. ”
An Ge asked with a smile: "You can't look down on any of them?" Also, you are the only concubine of the Liu family, and it is really difficult to find the right one...... Now that you're back in Beijing, you'd better take a look at the men in Beijing. How is Grandpa Shen? I heard two days ago that he hadn't married a wife yet, and all the daughters of the family were squeezing their heads. ”
Liu Pingle glanced at her, An Ge teased her, and she simply joked with An Ge: "Who doesn't know that Young Grandpa Shen has never married, because of a talented girl who married young?" When you didn't go back to Beijing before, Yu Yuanyuan and I passed a letter, and Sister Yuanyuan told me at that time, saying that the only person who Xiao Shen wanted to marry over the years was you. ”
An Ge immediately covered her mouth and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense, my father-in-law is cute and jealous!" He heard that he was asking me for trouble. ”
Liu Pingle didn't know what he had done and wanted to be shown by her again, so he took her hand away, sighed deeply, and turned back to himself: "Why don't I want to get married, can you still not know?" ”
An Ge was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You still like Lord Xu, right?" "An Ge has been annoyed by Xu Qi these days, she really can't stand such a person.
Indeed, Xu Qi has many advantages, integrity, kindness, talent, ambition, and courage in dealing with things...... However, it seems to her that it can sometimes be a little pedantic. And Liu Pingle is more jumpy...... If these two people were really together, they couldn't imagine it.
But Liu Pingle nodded, and said quietly: "After such a long time, I still can't ......settle down."
