Chapter Eighty-Nine: Sleepless Nights

The night of August 15. When the bright moon was in the sky, the breeze was coming, Xiaoru sat on the big balcony, holding a bowl of Tai Sui water to feed her own 'fox dog', Duoduo, obediently and Xiaopan, and she was tired of drinking it on the side.

At the beginning, Xiao Ru came back with Tai Sui Shui, except for the little fox who drank happily, the others were all disdainful, but Xiao Ru was angry, and was stunned to press a few of them to drink once, from then on, every time the little fox eats, these guys don't need to shout, they all know that they are coming here.

If any famous doctor knew that Xiao Ru actually fed such a precious Tai Sui to his own animals, I am afraid that he would be so angry that he jumped to his feet, but Xiao Ru didn't think there was anything. Anyway, Tai Sui's thing has a strong growth force, even if it is cut off by more than half, it will grow back in a few days, why should you wronged yourself.

There was a gurgling sound of an old hen in the yard, Xiaoyan and Meng Nier, one catching chickens and the other holding a kitchen knife, it seemed that tonight's supper was chicken soup.

In the dead of night, when Jiang Yu came back, he was in good spirits, and even a little excited.

"How? Did a good job? ”

Jiang Yu touched his head and smiled: "The Jingyi part is okay, and there are many topics that have been reviewed before, but I heard that next year's Spring Festival is not as simple as this time, and it is said that 97% of the people who lift it are blocked from this level." ”

It's no wonder that Jiang Yu is worried, now the imperial court has a question to take the Jinshi, but it is very different from before, although the topic is not biased or strange, most of them have been seen by students, but if you are just a nerd who can die reading, and make some so-called good articles that praise virtue and are gorgeous, but there are no specific things, then you will never want to pass the big hurdle of the examination in your life. You have to be flexible, knowledgeable, and able to do facts to be named on the gold list.

Of course, the number of people who can reach the palace examination has decreased, but the number of scholars in the imperial examination is not small, in addition to the triennial examination, the six departments also have their own examinations, which are divided into the assessment of official evaluations, and the fixed examinations that people who do not have official positions can participate in, but this kind of examination is relatively professional, and it is not the same as the big examination.

Xiao Ru told Xiao Yan that they sent the chicken soup to Jiang Yu, Lou Yi and Jiang Yu entered the door together, he went out with Ding Feng to run an errand tonight, and the old man personally gave the order, so he came back late, but it was just right, he didn't have to do supper twice, and he saved trouble with Xiao Ru in the kitchen.

Fragrant chicken broth. Covering up the little smell of Tai Sui, Lou Yi poured it down without a mouthful, and smiled at Xiao Ru: "It is said that you doctors don't all say that the most important way to maintain health is not to eat at lunch, why is our family so different?" "Lou Yi was changed by his daughter-in-law every night, and the delicious supper was much better than before, and his body also had some meat, not as fleshy as before.

When Xiaoru heard this, she couldn't help but bared her teeth, that was someone else, Lou Yi could they be the same? I practice boxing and martial arts every day, and I have to work hard, maybe when I have to go out and work hard, and then I don't eat for lunch? In less than two days, the body will not be able to withstand it, and now the daily food of the two young men of Lou Yi Ding Feng is much more than that of Xiaoru and her mother-in-law for seven or eight days, which is only eight points full, and they are not completely full.

After supper, the couple sat on the balcony and chattered their teeth. It's easy to see each other all day, that is, at night, and we can communicate together. Lou Yi suddenly smiled and said: "According to the usual practice, it's time for Ding Feng and I to transfer to the sixth department, the old man means that I will go to the official department, and Ding Feng will go to the household department, but that kid doesn't know what to think." I want to go to the criminal department, and now I'm encouraging the old man. ”

Xiao Ru was stunned, and then remembered that the old man had said that most of the imperial guards of the Great Xia Dynasty were the children of official eunuchs, and most of the elders were from the dragon, or princes and nobles.

These old people send the children who are more valued in the direct or side line to the palace as guards, first, it is heartfelt enough to ensure the safety of the emperor, and secondly, it is also the royal family to give face to those officials, but the imperial guards, after all, are not really lacking, these people are generally the most outstanding part of each family, and they have the ability to catch a lot of them, if they are trapped in the palace like this, it is too wasteful, so the emperor thought of a way, generally only two or three years, and divided them into six departments. Or serve in the army, and talents should be used.

"What does Xianggong think?" Xiao Ru smiled, she actually knew that Lou Yi was very fond of the position of the imperial guard, and he was very high, and he was usually very idle, even if the old man gave some extra tasks, there was also Ding Feng together, and the troublesome work was shared, so it would not be so troublesome, and. With the old man's favor for them, they won't be able to do anything very difficult and beyond their power at all, but once they go to the sixth department, I'm afraid they won't be as happy as they are now.

Lou Yi shrugged helplessly, "No way, since it is a common practice, then it is good to be obedient, but the Ministry of Officials is more troublesome, how good would it be if I could go to the Ministry of Rites?" Otherwise, it's okay to go to the Imperial Observatory? "Those imperial historians are so strong, even the emperor dares to reprimand without dirty words, to be honest, Lou Yi sometimes admires them tightly.

Xiao Ru snorted and laughed, his father-in-law is purely a dream, neither the Ministry of Rites nor the Imperial History Observatory can stay for him, Ding Feng wants to go to the Criminal Department, so there is some hope, however, the number of paragraphs of the old man is much higher than them, since it has been decided, I am afraid that he has his own plans, and he will be persuaded in the future, I am afraid that it can only be Ding Feng, and it cannot be the old man.

These things have almost been decided, Lou Yihe sleeps.

Suddenly there was a slight voice from Moniel outside the door: "...... The young lady, Mrs. Li of the Li Mansion came to visit. ”

So late? How could anyone still come? Xiao Ru took off her head for a moment, stared at her eyebrows for a long time, and suddenly remembered. There is still a rare atavistic case in the Li family, counting the time, it has been almost a month now, presumably there is no improvement, it seems that today has to be a sleepless night.

Xiao Ru sighed, "Meng Nier, you let Mrs. Li go to the side hall to rest first, and I'll go over immediately." He turned his head and looked at Lou Yi, who was already a little sleepy, "Xianggong, you go to sleep first." After speaking, Xiao Ru rearranged her clothes and combed her head, leaving Lou Yi alone, watching her daughter-in-law stride out of the door, she sighed deeply, and the warm fragrance of nephrite in her heart seemed to be impossible to taste today.
