Recently, the officials in the court have discussed the most in private, except for the emperor who wants to recruit horses for a few sisters, which is the upcoming spring festival. For no other reason, if it had been a previous year, the examiner would have been decided a long time ago. But this year, this examiner is still foggy and unclear.

If it was in the past, this position would have fallen on the head of Yan Huaijin of Yanfu. It was the spring festival a year ago, and when he was sick at home, he was still the best choice. It's just that I don't care about so many things, and a few deputies help me do it. But in the end, the emperor specially sent the officials of the Ministry of Rites to his house with the roster and test papers, and he personally reviewed and circled the final list. But this year, Master Yan unfortunately passed away, and the position of division in the court was not sealed under the name of Yan Bozhai. And after the first month, the exam will be prepared, but the position of the chief examiner has not yet been decided, and the ministers can't help but talk about it.

The position of the examiner is not high, but it is a temporary position, and it will be fine after the exam. But to say that he is a low person, it is absolutely uninformed

According to the customs of officialdom, each chief examiner is considered to be the seat teacher of the candidates admitted in that session. Although there is still an emperor pressed on it, can the emperor be seen casually? This master is relatively closer.

If these young people are ordained, unless they are from an existing faction, most of them will be from the examiner's side. Therefore, the ministers of the DPRK and China have always attached great importance to this post. And those who are qualified to be appointed are definitely people who are highly respected and trusted by the emperor. Therefore, this position is also an important weather vane for judging the emperor's favor.

Some people think that although Master Yan has just passed away, this position must still fall in the Yan Mansion, and it is not good for people to be cold as soon as they leave, right? Besides, isn't Yan Bozhai just getting the holy favor?

That's not necessarily what some people think is going to be a waste of time. After all, Yan Bozhai's age and qualifications are there, how can he be able to serve people?

So who is most likely?

Some people say it's Meng Shangde, some people say it's the book of the Ministry of Rites, some people say it's the courtyard upright, and some people say that no one needs the emperor this time, so he chooses an idle person from among the princes and nobles to preside over the overall situation......

In short, there are different opinions, and there is no consensus. But there is one thing that everyone agrees, that is, this year's Spring Festival is not good, and God knows which official in charge the emperor will send out? What are some of the weird questions? If you can win the person, it is really the ancestor who burns high incense

Seeing that Du Yuhan couldn't take his eyes off what he heard, he was serious, Zhao Chengcai patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Don't be nervous, do your best in everything, where you can go, then leave it to fate."

Du Yuhan nodded, but smiled bitterly, "Uncle also persuaded me like this, I still have some pimples in my heart and I am not convinced, we have been studying hard for more than ten years, don't we just want to look forward to the day when the gold list is nominated?" But now that I heard them say this, it's really fate, and it's not up to anyone at all, but that's fine, but now my heart is really letting go. As Brother Zhao said, let's do our best."

"If you can figure it out, then it's the best" Zhao Chengcai smiled, and when he heard those officials start to complain about the hard work and the difficulty of doing things, he smiled quietly, "Listen, this official doesn't mean anything big, and he is the same as being in charge of people and being popular, how can we be comfortable?" You just can't get in, you still have a daughter-in-law and children waiting for you when you go home, and you have a beautiful day."

Du Yuhan laughed when he heard it, and he completely let go of his mind.

Zhang Qingting watched the opera and listened to the music with Mrs. Lou and other female dependents, and he was also happy. After playing for a day, when she said goodbye and went home, Mrs. Lou also specially reminded her, "The fifteenth ** can come to the city early, come to my house for a meal, and watch the lanterns together at night If it's late, but there is no good location, it is easy to come to the capital for a New Year, if you don't take a good look at the Lantern Festival lanterns, it will be in vain."

Zhang Qingting thanked him, smiled and replied that he would arrive before leaving. I talked to Zhao Chengcai in the car when I went home, but Master Lou also mentioned this matter to him, Zhao Chengcai was very interested, "When the time comes, we will be cheeky to disturb it, just bring a generous courtesy"

Zhang Qingting glanced at him, "It's just that we idlers come out to play, and if you want to take the exam, you still have to study hard at home?" ”

Zhao Chengcai chuckled, "We haven't even decided on the examiner, God knows what to test?" Besides, what exam is more important than taking a girl out to play? Isn't it? Baby? ”

Xiao Xiniu came out to have fun today, and she is not sleepy until now, babbling and screaming with her two big round eyes, accumulating in response.

Look at this father and daughter, it's too good to be good now Zhang Qingting glanced at him, but the corners of his mouth hooked up a faint smile.

When they came back, listening to the excitement in the house, it turned out that Fang Mingzhu and his party had just come back, and they were discussing the newly purchased goods there, talking and laughing.

Seeing them come in, Fang Mingzhu smiled and handed Zhang Qingting a sachet first, "Eldest sister, this is what we specially asked you for in Tianyi Temple to bless you with a wide range of financial resources this year, and everything goes well."

That dared to be good, Zhang Qingting happily took it. But seeing that Fang Mingzhu handed one to Zhao Chengcai very doggedly, he deliberately lowered his voice but said in a voice that could be heard, "Brother Zhao, this is for you, and that one is a pair."

"Thank you so much" Zhao Chengcai was happy, and accepted it generously.

Listening to a room of people covering their mouths and laughing, Zhang Qingting secretly grinded his teeth, but the roots of his ears were slightly red, holding his daughter as a shield, and walked inside, "Niu'er is going to sleep"

"Eldest sister, don't go, there's another one here" Fang Mingzhu took out a slightly smaller sachet again, "This is specially selected for your family, and it looks the same."

Everyone's smile became stronger, Zhang Qingting's face was flushed, he snatched the small sachet, squeezed out two words from between his teeth, and turned his head "Thank you".

As soon as she went out, she heard the laughter louder from there. I vaguely heard He Yutang's words asking Zhao Chengcai to work harder, and Zhang Qingting was ashamed and angry in his heart. Really, they did it on purpose

He stomped his feet and turned into his room, but saw a pretty figure busy working.

"Sister-in-law, are you back?" Zhao Yulian put down the freshly filled pot in her hand, and her beautiful eyebrows and eyes smiled gently.

"Why are you busy with all this again? It's the same for me to come myself" This sister-in-law is really meticulous, since they came to live here, she has taken care of everything properly.

"It's okay, I think you should come back, the little girl must be tired today, and she will sleep as soon as she enters the door, so I'll help you prepare first." Will you wash her now? ”

"Okay" Zhang Qingting's heart moved, and he wanted to take the opportunity to talk to this sister-in-law.

First wash the Xi Niu white, put it in the hot quilt and coax her to sleep, Xiao Ni is tired after all, and she quickly fell asleep sweetly when she lay down.

Zhang Qingting pulled Zhao Yulian to chat, starting with a digression, "Where have you been on the street today?" What did you buy? ”

Zhao Yulian's clear and soft voice gave her a general introduction, and she only visited some ordinary and lively places, and bought mostly household things.

However, Zhao Yulian told Zhang Qingting, "There is a silver shop, there is a new butterfly ornament, I deliberately paid attention to the beauty, I think it is necessary to come to Fluttershy to get married, and it also matches her name, sister-in-law, you can go and see it when you have time, this is the address, I copied it down." There is also the new fabric in the Heyue Dock this time, there is a big red background, rich peony picture of the cloth, there are also some colorful butterflies on the top, that material is good, it is very suitable for Fluttershy to make a wedding dress, I have asked Sister Hong to help think of a sample, in a few days there is a good one, and then help her pick it"

Zhang Qingting smiled when he heard this, since his sister-in-law was so concerned about Fluttershy's marriage, how could she not have any expectations for her lifelong happiness?

"Thank you so much, but Yulian, tell your sister-in-law honestly, why don't you want to get married?"

Zhao Yulian was stunned for a moment when she asked such a question, and suddenly her pretty face turned red, and she was very ashamed, "Sister-in-law, I ...... I'm not going to say it......"

"You're not telling the truth" Zhang Qingting sighed slightly, took one of his sister-in-law's hands, and rubbed it in his palm.

Zhao Yulian's hands are also good-looking, white and clean, and delicate. But there are thin calluses between the fingers, and the nails have never been left long because they have to work, and they have no time to dye the impatiens, so they are so clean and elegant. Like her people, she is lovable.

"Yulian, I know that over the years, you must have suffered a lot when you were alone in your aunt's house."

"No ......"

"After you listen to me, I'm not saying that my aunt is bad for you or what, I mean that your heart is so bitter at such a young age, and it is not easy for a person to suddenly leave home, and you have to adapt at the beginning, right? Although my aunt is a relative, she treats you well, but there are some things that you can't say to her. But if you want to go home, it's impossible......"

Zhang Qingting said by himself, he felt that his eyes were red, thinking that Zhao Yulian was just a child at that time, and she had such a burden on her weak shoulders, how could she be such a smart person, how could she not think about it, not be sad, and not be sad? But what about her? Who can you talk to?

Zhao Yulian buried her head deeply, and couldn't say a word for a long time, but the little hand in Zhang Qingting's hand trembled, and a few drops of moisture fell on the big red placket.
