Chapter 3 Peach Blossoms in March

Six years later, when the peach blossoms bloomed in March, although it was still a little cool, there were already many literati from all over the capital who came out to enjoy the flowers and chant poetry.

Xiyulou is a well-known restaurant in Beijing, the gorgeous seven-storey platform can see the peach blossoms by the Caiyun Lake not far away, it is the best place to enjoy the flowers, and it is also the favorite place of the literati.

In a side room on the fifth floor, there are more than a dozen sons talking and laughing with the beautiful scenery, so lively.

"If you want me to say that this beauty is rare, not only depends on the person, but also depends on the family background, and it must be discussed. You all have younger sisters in your family, why don't you give up one and marry me? Wouldn't it be a beautiful thing for us to treat wine as a song, kissing and kissing. A man laughed heartily.

The men present all glanced at him, "Cheng Zirui, if you have an unmarried sister, you won't marry you, don't be a concubine, don't say it, your wife's tigress's name, who in the whole capital can not know." ”

"Yes, if you want to get married, Brother Xuewen is not married yet, and he has knowledge, so he is naturally the best candidate." At this time, someone chimed in and said that everyone got married early, but one person was already twenty-eight years old, but he was still single.

Zhuang Xuewen was sitting by the window, sipping a little wine and looking sideways at the street scene downstairs, when he suddenly heard his name, he turned his head and smiled at everyone, "My sister is not married, I don't want to marry to make her angry." ”

"Come on, can that ancestor of your family still be angry?" When Cheng Zirui heard this, he scoffed and said, "I dare to marry women in the whole capital, but I don't dare to ask for your sister, it's even more terrible than my tigress." It's not that you're afraid of her, so you don't dare to let other women marry and suffer from the scourge, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone stopped drinking, and looked at him with palpitations, Zhuang Xuewen's favorite sister is famous among the students of Guozijian, and it is okay to say bad things about him, but to say that his sister is looking for death.

Zhuang Xuewen smiled slightly, and suddenly made people feel a sense of pleasure like a spring breeze, he squinted his eyes and said: "The teacher told me that the emperor wants to arrange for a few students of the Guozijian to enter the main hall to listen to the affairs of the court. This is to allow students to get in touch with the government and politics, rather than talking about state affairs, and this candidate is still being selected, and I think that some of you here should be selected. ”

Everyone was stunned, no one knew about this at all, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You can enter the court before you take the exam, although you can't speak, but you can let the emperor remember yourself, and you can feel the kind of battle in the court earlier.

Most of the people who can enter the national prison have people in the family who are officials in the court, and the competition between brothers is also fierce.

Cheng Zirui looked at Zhuang Xuewen in a daze, he naturally knew that the Guozi Supervisor Jiu Qi Boxiao was Zhuang Xuewen's teacher, that was the boss of the Guozi Eunuch, and he had been the prince and the Taibao before. The family has interceded for a long time, but Lord Qi has not relented and is willing to accept him as a student.

Until now, there are only three disciples he has personally accepted in the entire Guozijian, and Zhuang Xuewen, who has the most family background and does not even participate in the imperial examination, is his favorite one.

Don't look at him as just a student, but the affairs of the Guozijian will be discussed with him, and he is secretly called Mr. Little by the students. Cheng Zirui just forgot about it when he was happy, and now he suddenly regretted it, his sister can't say it casually.

So, he quickly poured a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Brother Xuewen, you also know that I like spicy girls the most, Ling Mei really likes it tightly." ”

"You divorce your wife, I can consider marrying my sister." Zhuang Xuewen still had a smile on his face, and said lightly.

"Ahh Cheng Zirui was stunned, how dare he, he couldn't afford to offend the tigress's maiden family, so he had to sit down with a smile and drink the bitter wine himself.

The others looked at it, and then put him aside, who was a little lost, and enthusiastically asked Zhuang Xuewen about it. And he didn't hide it, he mentioned what he could say, and let everyone rub their fists and rub their palms, and decided that they must grab this place.

The atmosphere of the banquet became better again, Zhuang Xuewen looked out the window, and at this time a whirlwind blew, and the peach petals by the Caiyun Lake were blown up, and a few fell on the windowsill.

He looked at those petals, smiled slightly, and thought to himself: Xiaorou is also eighteen, but there is no half of the person who proposes marriage, what a ...... A good thing.

Just as everyone was chatting with great interest, there was a heavy running sound on the stairs, and the door of the wing room was pushed open very rudely. Everyone looked at it angrily, which bastard dared to break in, the people in the store were stupid, and they didn't stop it!

It was a sturdy man who came in, dressed in the clothes of a family, and shouted at them, "Young master, it's not good! The young lady insisted on being the arrester, but I couldn't stop it, so she went inside. I can only hurry over to find the young master, only you can persuade her! ”

Zhuang Xuewen looked at Liu Mi, frowned and said, "What should be arrested?" ”

It turned out to be a descendant of his family, and everyone laughed at Liu Mi: "Is it that your young lady is afraid that Brother Xuewen will drink too much, so she asked you to make up this kind of thing to trick him back?" ”

"That's right, where did I arrest the woman from, and I won't want it if I go."

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Liu Mi said anxiously: "No! Young master, you don't know, Miss and I went out to buy something, and she passed by Weiyang Square and found that there was a royal notice. What do you say, the emperor thinks that all the people who should be arrested are men, and it is inconvenient for the female suspects, and many wronged women can't go home after being tried, so they decided to choose a woman with an innocent background to be the person who should be arrested. ”

He wiped the sweat on his head, directly grabbed the tea on the table, drank it wildly, and said: "How can someone let a woman be a person to be arrested, but I didn't expect the young lady to see it, so she went to Dali Temple to sign up." I went to block her, but I was kicked by her, and I was blocked by the people of Dali Temple. ”

"Young Master! Go check it out, if it's slow, it might be too late! ”

Everyone looked at Zhuang Xuewen, his sister who couldn't get married was going to be arrested, which made people not know what to say.

Just when everyone thought that Zhuang Xuewen would rush over in a hurry, he came back to his senses, poured a glass of wine slowly, tasted it and said with a smile: "She wants to be a catcher, so go for it, as long as she is happy." ”

"Liu Mi, you go to wait for Miss outside Dali Temple, and tell her that if she succeeds, I will give her a drink to celebrate."

Liu Mi stood there stunned, and only after a while did he react, knowing that his young master was right, so he answered and ran downstairs.

The atmosphere in the wing room was a little strange, and finally one of them snapped and put away the fan in his hand, and laughed: "Brother Xuewen, you pet sister is really going to heaven." ”

"Why not, my sister is mine, and it won't be in anyone's way to spoil me." Zhuang Xuewen said lightly, what if you should be arrested, anyway, there is no man in this world who is worthy of his sister. It is better to entrust them to these guys who will take concubines than to live freely at home by themselves.

Cheng Zirui also hurriedly said: "That's it, it's best for women to pet at home." My sister-in-law, when she was at home, was all kinds of pampering, and now she is married, although she is also prosperous and rich, and she enjoys endless enjoyment. But my brother-in-law has more than 20 concubines alone, and he doesn't even have a room, and it's rare to even see him once. ”

"Isn't your brother-in-law the Marquis of Guan Ning? I'm not afraid that he'll hear about it and clean you up. Everyone laughed, in order to make Brother Xuewen happy, this guy even shook out the affairs of his brother-in-law's family.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not the only one who says it, everyone knows it." Cheng Zirui smiled cheekily, which man doesn't love to accept a few concubines, what he said is also the truth.

Liu Mi gasped and ran to Dali Temple, and saw his young lady from a distance, who was sitting next to the stone lion at the door and beckoning to him. He couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, it was so good that he was really kicked out.

Zhuang Rou is eighteen years old, and when other women have already married as mothers, she still doesn't even have anyone to say goodbye, she is still dressed as a girl.

The face has long been rounded and full, it looks a little fleshy, and there is always a smile on the whole face, and the smile is very sweet, which makes people feel good at first sight. The hair was combed into two buns, and it was not like an ordinary woman who had a double bun, but it was tall like two cat ears.

She didn't like jewelry, but she inserted a pair of large pearl hairpins and two small flowers picked from the family's flower pots. Like the peach blossoms in this spring, they are fresh and tender.

"Miss, they didn't embarrass you, did they?" Liu Mi ran to him and asked, the people here are not light or heavy.

Zhuang Rou stood up and crossed her waist and asked, "Why are people embarrassing me, where did you go, did you go to my brother to complain?" ”

Liu Mi said with a bitter face: "Miss, I'm not afraid that something will happen to you." Since it's okay, let's go back, I want to report to the young master when I pass by the Xiyu Building, and he also said that if the young lady succeeds, he will set up a wine to celebrate. Although he doesn't need it now, he still has to talk to the young master, otherwise he will wait. ”

"Brother wants to give me a drink to celebrate?" Zhuang Rou raised her eyebrows and said happily, "That's just tonight, the dishes in the fish house are also good, and the girls who sing small songs have a good voice, so let's go over now." ”

"Huh?" Liu Mi followed her puzzled, "Miss, do people want you to be arrested?" ”

Zhuang Rou looked at him inexplicably, "What is this, your young lady is out of the top two, can people still want me?" Of course, it's chosen, and you can be a tolerance in ten days, and whoever bullies you in the future will tell me, I'll catch him and play the board! ”

Liu Mi was speechless for a long time with her mouth open, and when she saw that she had already walked away, she quickly followed, "Really, what are these people doing, how can you choose Miss!" ”

There were several officials standing in the teaching field in the backyard of Dali Temple, they looked at each other, and the fat official said with palpitations: "Just now I thought I was dead......

"I thought you were dead, too." The other patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "But it's better than not recruiting one person at all, otherwise you can only use your own daughter to take the emperor's order." ”

The two found that the adult next to them had not spoken, so they asked curiously, "My lord, do you think this person is unreliable?" ”

"What's unreliable, what the emperor wanted was to be arrested, not embroidered and cleaned, and it was much better to be able to deal with such a person than to recruit some old mothers." The middle-aged man with the long beard said flatly, and then turned around and left the teaching field.

The two officials glanced at each other, "Old mother? ”

Sure enough, in the next few days, all the people who were recruited as women and should be arrested were all old mothers with meaty faces, and when they asked about their origins, almost all of them were in the women's prison to help take care of the female prisoners, and none of them looked pleasing to the eye.

These people don't want to take care of the female suspect, I'm afraid that they know that they are wronged, and they have to scrape off a few layers of oil and water. What a young and lovely girl, only the first one to come!
