Chapter 100: Yang Mou
The fourth aunt's wife smiled confidently, if it weren't for the fact that she went to the sister-in-law temple on Hanshan several times to find the dust god nun and asked for the dust god nun's prescription to nourish her body, and searched all the Jiangnan pharmacists to find the two precious medicinal materials, how could Ding Yi, the current lady of the Marquis of Lanling, be pregnant?
She helped the eldest wife too much, so she moved the idea of marrying Ding Shu, the daughter of the Ding Mansion, and expected that the eldest lady would not object. The eldest lady held the teacup in her hand and looked at the tea leaves in the teacup, she had already had a tacit understanding with the third sister who entered Beijing before the fourth aunt's wife. Ding Rou can see Zhou Shixian's fatal flaws, how can the eldest lady not understand it?
The eldest wife feels sorry for Ding Yi, and she is partial to the eldest daughter, but she generally cherishes Ding Shu, and she will not owe Ding Shu because of the eldest daughter Ding Yi.
The Zhou family is richer than the Zhu family, and Zhu Neng is not as handsome as Zhou Shixian's handsome appearance, but he is a six-grade school official under the Governor of the Later Army, but the eldest lady values Zhu Neng's maturity and responsibility, and Ding Shu has a childhood sweetheart, and the third sister is also better than the fourth sister to be a mother-in-law.
The eldest lady smiled: "Their sisters were all raised by me, and I haven't been filial to them for a few days, so I am reluctant to give them to you." ”
"The second sister can stay with them for a lifetime, and she always has to get married."
The eldest lady's refusal was obvious, the fourth aunt was slightly displeased, and the eldest lady said unhurriedly: "They look smarter, sometimes annoying, there are many good daughters in the capital, and there are many talented female beauties. What's more, the New Year is a big competition in the autumn, when the nephew is studying hard, the nephew's future is important, don't be distracted by trivial things, if you will test the nephew's high school, what does the fourth sister think of the girl? I'm afraid that the doors of the house have been broken. ”
Ding Rou saw that the fourth aunt's eyebrows rose, and the eldest lady was very skillful in her resignation, and there was no word that she couldn't look down on Zhou Shixian, the imperial examination was the most important, and the last two good words of wishes did not leave the matter alive, so that the fourth aunt and wife had hope, so that she would not turn her face and be angry.
Children are the best in the eyes of their mothers, and no one can compare, and the fourth aunt has been widowed for many years, and she is counting on her son. Ding Rou could feel the doting and conniving of the fourth aunt's wife to her son from the moment she entered the door, otherwise she would not have stayed in Zhili for a month because of a maidservant, let alone spoiled Zhou Shixian into a rich and noble son who is not responsible now. The only thing that insists on not compromising is in the imperial examination, without her daily supervision, Zhou Shixian will not be able to lift people.
The son was the most proud of the fourth aunt's wife, she stroked her hair and sideburns, and sighed: "The world is talented and learned, I hope that he can be a jinshi again, glorify the ancestors, and go underground in the future to explain to the master, worthy of the ancestors of the Zhou family." ”
"If you are willing to work hard and study hard, you will get your wish." The eldest lady said lightly, "My son also suffered at the beginning, but he was shallow in his learning, and he missed the reputation of a three-tanhua course." ”
Ding Rou pursed her lips, if the eldest lady's eldest son was still alive when the imperial examination was held, she would definitely fulfill the wish of the eldest lady, one door and three flowers, more like Xiao Li Feidao, from the records on the fragmentary codex, Ding Rou deduced that Empress Taizu was a lively and optimistic woman when she was young, and she wrote down some interesting things when she fought the world with her husband, and often made some modern classics reappearing, so Ding Rou suspected that the Nine Yin True Scripture was a prank, but such an optimistic temperament was forced by Emperor Taizu's ruthlessness... The second part of the codex uses pinyin to record the pain in her heart.
"I have something to ask my second sister."
The fourth aunt's wife suddenly became much more formal, "The second brother-in-law has been in the Tanhua Academy, and he has been in the Hanlin Academy for many years, and now he has been promoted to an official, and the old lady of the Ding Mansion has done the main examination of the imperial examination, I want to ask the second brother-in-law to guide Shixian, Xu is able to get twice the result with half the effort." The second sister also knows that I have been to the south for more than ten years, I don't know the changes in the capital, I have the heart to burn incense, and I am afraid of worshipping the wrong temple gate, afraid that because there is no emotion, I will delay the world, I can hear that the capital is full of children, digging out the relationship of the heart, the second brother-in-law should know the Tao, I will show a son in the world, and I will be willing to give up how much silver he can go to high school. ”
"Mother."
Zhou Shixian, who was sitting on the side, stood up, "How can reading be involved with silver?" The position of the champion is based on real talent and real learning, if it is bought with money, although I am not talented, I will not take it. ”
Ding Yu's eyes froze, and he threw himself on Zhou Shixian, who was very arrogant, but Ding Min sneered, saying very righteously, is it useful to be upright? The husband in his previous life was more upright and upright than him, what happened in the end? Not in jail yet?
Ding Rou frowned slightly and reminded: "Cousin Zhou, you can't buy the champion with silver." It's just a joke to talk about it in the house, but you need to be cautious outside. The adults who were appointed by the emperor as the undergraduate examiner must be honest and honest, in line with the heart of selecting talents for the country, how can they teach and receive each other privately and tarnish their reputation? Isn't it just for the sake of being an official in high school..."
"Sixth cousin, you are a vulgar philistine, and you are not studying for high school, let alone for being an official."
Ding Rou smiled indifferently, "Xu I figured out that my cousin is different, and I don't have Cousin Zhou's noble character." ”
Ding Rou reminded him, first, he didn't want Zhou Shixian, who had made a mistake to cover up, to cause trouble, implicating Ding Mansion, if the champion was bought with silver, let anyone listen to it, when the test was so sensitive, it was easy to cause an uproar, more than ten years of hard study, once every three years, Enke, selected only three lists of 100 jinshi, the difference between the high school and the abyss, will definitely be dissatisfied. The second is that Ding Rou waited for Zhou Shixian to say that she was vulgar and coppery, and she was unbearable.
Zhou Shixian didn't disappoint her, she looked down on and disdainful, Ding Rou has always been worried, once the fourth aunt can't marry Ding Shu, will she retreat to her? If Zhou Shixian was conspicuous and suitable, Ding Rou would facilitate this marriage, but Zhou Shixian was too far from Ding Rou's criteria for choosing a husband. It's better to be disgusted by Zhou Shixian than to like him, Ding Rou plans to completely erase the possibility, and she won't wait until it falls on her head to find a way not to marry.
There are many daughters in the capital who are better than Ding Rou, and the fourth aunt's wife doesn't have to choose her, with the fourth aunt's wife's doting on Zhou Shixian, she will never go against her son's will, not to mention the wife of Ding's mansion, she is looked down upon by Zhou Shixian in front of the wives, even if the fourth aunt has a heart, Mrs. Tai should not agree.
The eldest lady glanced at Ding Rou and said, "Miss Boudoir, your vision is not as good as Shixian, go back and say six girls, Shixian will dissipate your anger first, don't be angry." ”
The fourth aunt's wife was thoughtful, Ding Rou was just a concubine of the Ding Mansion, she could say such a thing, and her concubine Ding Shu would be even more extraordinary, seeing that her son was really angry, the fourth aunt's wife glared at Ding Rou unhappily, even if her concerns were reasonable, it was not good to be tactful? Do you have to make a fuss? Occasionally clever, he can't get on the stage, maybe he has a stammering heart, but he doesn't know that his son has a high character.
"The second sister is not that I am too talkative, although the sixth girl suddenly interjected with good intentions, it is not very compliant."
Ding Rou hurriedly got up, "Mother, my daughter knows her mistakes, and she won't dare to talk more in the future." ”
Zhou Shixian just felt that Ding Rou was cheesy, and now he felt that Ding Rou was timid and afraid, and he was only promised. It has always become a habit for him to pity women, and said: "The sixth cousin has no intention, and the second aunt doesn't have to punish her." ”
The eldest lady took the opportunity to say: "Since you intercede for her, I will spare her, and next time I dare not speak lightly or seriously, I will punish her together." ”
"Thank you, Mother."
Ding Rou bent her knees, lowered her head and bowed to Zhou Shixian, "Cousin Xie intercedes for me." ”
"That's it, read more books in the future, so as not to fall into the reputation of Ding Mansion."
"Yes."
Ding Rou sat down again, and didn't dare to raise her head again, ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
