In late July of the first year of Yansheng of the Great Qi, when the emperor decreed to recruit horses for the eldest princess, the old lady of the Qin Taiwei family came forward to preside, and the first women's academy jointly established by the various Gaomen and noble mansions began to teach in the capital.

But nominally, it is still only a private school of the Taiwei Mansion, but it is not in the Taiwei Mansion, and it is not a academy nominally recognized by the imperial court, but no one has denied her existence.

This academy was opened decently, and everyone watched for a long time, and on the day of the official class, a few more girls came to study.

And another major event is the eldest princess's competition to recruit relatives.

The conditions for recruiting relatives promulgated by the imperial court must be in addition to the people of Daqi, although there is no restriction on the family, but there must be a certain amount of fame, in addition to being able to fight, but also to be a scholar.

In this way, a large number of people were screened out, and the final list submitted by the Ministry of Rites, a total of 36 people, will be drawn by lot, regardless of whether they will win or lose, until the final showdown on August 15.

On this day, the girls returned from the school, the brothers and sisters gathered in front of the grandmother to eat, Yun Zhi saw that the three younger sisters were always staring at Pingli, and whispered from time to time, very angry, her curiosity was hooked, and asked: "What's the matter, Pingli bullied you, or did you make Sister Ying'er angry?" ”

The old lady also said, "Yes, eat well, what are you doing staring at the fourth brother?" ”

The third lady asked on the side, "Hui'er, what's wrong with your brother?" ”

Huizhi said indignantly: "Sister Qin said that her brother has been practicing martial arts hard these days, and he is going to participate in the eldest princess's martial arts competition to recruit relatives." ”

Everyone was stunned, at least in the Duke's Palace, who didn't know that Mu Kaijiang and the eldest princess were a couple, although Kaijiang had been included in the list of relatives, and his martial arts were extraordinary, not something ordinary people could defeat, but the grandson of the Qin family really didn't need to join in the fun.

The third lady asked her son: "Is Taiwei Qin going to recruit relatives than Qin Hao?" ”

Yingzhi said: "Listening to Sister Qin's meaning, it was the fourth brother who forced Brother Qin Hao to recruit relatives. ”

The third lady asked anxiously, "Really?" Son, did your brother recruit you and provoke you? ”

Pingli said: "Are you stupid, I'm not helping to squeeze out the two places, even if Qin Hao fights to the end, he won't be able to win Brother Kaijiang." ”

The old lady frowned: "Is this considered fraud?" ”

said confidently: "Openly recruiting relatives, relying on ability to duel, why is there privacy fraud?" If I hadn't been married, I'd have gone to Bibi. ”

The family looked at each other, which seemed to make sense, and commanded calmly: "Don't go out and shout, you have to be fair and just, besides, Taiwei Qin must also miss Princess Shang in his heart, but he is embarrassed to rob Mu Shangshu because of his feelings." ”

The old lady was worried: "A few of you all know it in your hearts, but you are afraid that there are people outside the world, although the frontier is heroic, if someone is stronger than him, the emperor has decided like this, it is too risky." ”

Ping Luo said: "Doing this can also be regarded as an explanation to Yongluo Kingdom, the emperor has too many scruples and embarrassments." You can rest assured, Kaijiang will not be easily defeated, and we will try to help him as much as we can. ”

Yunzhi looked at Pingli, the kid was eating calmly, but years of experience in fighting wits and courage told her that the more honest Zhu Pingli was, the more he was planning something in his heart.

When he got home at night, Yunzhi said to Min Yanshi: "Zhu Pingli must have some calculations, but unfortunately I can't expose him." ”

Min Yanshi couldn't cry or laugh: "Why do you always have peace on the bar, peace is so good to you." ”

Yun Zhi was unconvinced: "He thinks of himself as an elder brother, he should call me sister, he hasn't even called you brother-in-law, it's not big or small." ”

Min Yanshi ignored her, these two people were enemies in the previous life, he washed his hands and changed his clothes, and said: "In a few days, I will go to the ancestral house, you don't have to go, grandpa and grandmother always treat me well, just the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will take a look, and kowtow for my sister with a greeting." ”

Yunzhi said: "Let's go with you, even if I see your mother, I don't care." ”

At this time, Scarlet Tong came in and asked, "Miss, are you going to eat here?" ”

Yun Zhi nodded again and again: "I'm starving, hurry up." ”

Min Yanshi asked: "At night, it depends on you don't move your chopsticks, why don't you eat well, and come back to toss Scarlet." ”

Yunzhi said: "I don't want to eat those meals, I'm very tired, the tea and rice made by Scarlet Tong is the most fragrant, and Zhou's mother's pickles, do you want to try them?" ”

Min Yanshi shook his head: "I'm full." ”

Scarlet Tong smiled and said: "Childe, this person has been very strange recently, she has no appetite for good food and good food, and that day she was spoiled when she saw the slave maid making tea and rice by herself." ”

Yun Zhixing hurriedly pulled her out and said to Min Yanshi: "I'll come back after dinner, you rest first." ”

Seeing his wife leave, Min Yanshi thought about it again and again, and went out to order someone to go to the Duke's Mansion to invite Lang Zhong from the family.

When Yunzhi was satisfied with eating and standing under the eaves to eat, she saw her husband bring Lang Zhong from the house, and before she could come back to her senses, she was helped into the door and sat down.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, take a look at the stomach for you, I'm afraid you won't digest it."

Yun Zhi was still unconscious, muttering: "I'm just full, what can I see?" ”

Min Yanshi looked at Lang Zhong nervously, and soon after Lang Zhong stepped back and asked the second lady about the menstrual date outside the door, Feitong told them one by one, not forgetting to say: "Girl, she has never been very accurate, and we don't care." ”

"Congratulations to the second aunt." Lang Zhong at home said, "The second lady is pregnant, and in a few days, it should be two months, and the villain will go back to the house to report the good news." ”

Hearing this, Min Yanshi couldn't help but be overjoyed, but he also cautiously ordered: "Don't make a show of it first, tell the old lady, and ask your grandmother to call the shots." ”

"Yan Shi ......" heard the people shouting inside, so he ordered Scarlet Tong to send off the guests and turned around and entered the door.

Yunzhi asked impatiently: "What are you avoiding from me, am I sick?" ”

Min Yanshi's eyes were full of doting: "Yunzhi, we have children." ”

Yun Zhi was stunned for a moment: "You, what did you say?" ”

In the Duke's Palace, the old lady learned the news and went to visit her granddaughter despite the darkness of the night. Mama Rui and Sister-in-law Li persuaded them, saying that the little couple must be tired of crookedness, what should the old grandmother do.

The old lady said repeatedly: "It's me who is old and confused, what am I going to do." By the way, you should also keep quiet, and in a few days, we will talk about it when Yun'er is firmly seated. ”

Everyone surrounded the old lady to go to the Buddhist hall to offer incense, and on this side, Yun Zhi was nesting in Min Yanshi's arms, she was not overjoyed, nor was she too excited, but seemed to be frightened.

Min Yanshi cared for it gently, Yun Zhi moved a few times for a long time, he stroked his wife's back, and said: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, grandma and mother, and sisters-in-law." ”

Yun Zhi muttered a few times, Min Yanshi didn't hear clearly, and asked patiently, "What did you say?" ”

The person in his arms just shook his head and stuck to him softly, very pitiful.

Min Yanshi thought about it again and again, a spirit flashed, and he laughed softly: "Are you afraid that we have a child, and my mind will be divided into the child in the future, and it will not belong to you completely?" ”

Yunzhi buried his face in his chest and sighed aggrievedly.

Seeing that he had guessed his wife's thoughts, Min Yanshi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and coaxed, "How could it be." ”

Yunzhi stretched out his hand, hooked his little finger, and raised his delicate face: "Then you promise ......"

Min Yanshi hooked his fingers without hesitation: "I promise, even if there are more children, in my heart, you will always come first." ”

Yun Zhi smiled brightly, but his eyes were still timid, and he said frankly: "Yanshi, I'm really scared, don't blame me." ”

Min Yanshi shook his head and kissed her gently: "What do you blame, in the next year, you will be the biggest, and I guess you let Pingli call you sister, and he can't help but agree." ”

Yun Zhi smiled: "I'm not rare to him, I'm only rare to my father-in-law." ”

In order to ensure that everything goes well for his granddaughter, this matter did not spread in the Duke's Palace, only Pingluo, Pingrui and his wife and the second lady knew, and even Pingli didn't know.

Recently, the family has been worried that the second sister-in-law Rouyin will be born at any time, and Pingli is worried about whether Mu Kaijiang can rush back to the capital in time.

At the beginning of August, he finally got the news that Pingli begged his father to take leave from the Guozi Supervisor for half a day for him, and rode a horse alone to welcome him outside the city.

Kaijiang saw that Pingli was waiting for him, and was very surprised: "Silly boy, what are you doing with me?" ”

The two dismounted, walked over with a mysterious smile: "Brother Kaijiang, how about we make a deal?" But you have to promise that you can't tell my third brother, and don't tell my family. If you really can't help it, you can say to my third sister-in-law, my third sister-in-law has a good character and can keep secrets. ”

Kaijiang looked dazed: "What can we do with the two of us?" ”

At present, in the city of Kishu, the people are putting up lanterns to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Kizhou is already very cold, and every time Fuyi comes to the palace, he wears thick cotton clothes, just because the eldest princess is pregnant and hot, and does not let the house be warmed.

"The people who came from the capital at home are very uncomfortable, saying that they know that the north is cold, but they didn't expect it to be so cold, this is the Mid-Autumn Festival, where is there autumn, isn't it winter." Fu Yi took the hand stove from the handmaiden's hand, and smiled at Yao Nian, who was resting crookedly, "You have to go back to Kishu, where is the border of Zanxi, it is warmer than Kishu." ”

Yao Nian said lazily: "Hot and cold are secondary, my laziness is really annoying, I can sleep for six or seven hours a day, and people are stupid." When I give birth to a child, I'm afraid that it will take a lot of effort, and how will I go to the battlefield in the future. ”

Fu Yi said: "Isn't this a frontier? ”

Yao Nian smiled bitterly: "This time I go to the capital, whether he can win in the end, I don't know, I am very suspenseful in my heart." ”
