Chapter 378: The Adulterer
On the first day of the first month of March, the temple examination.
Sanniang naturally didn't have the opportunity to see what the palace test was like, but later I heard that this time the emperor attached great importance to the palace test, and most of the court decisions were made by himself, and there was no fake hand to others.
Generally speaking, the palace test said that the current session of the Huiyuan accepted the emperor's questions and finally ranked the ranking, but in fact, it was the ministers who made the questions, and the emperor was just in charge. This time it was different.
Later, it was rumored in the market that this year's palace test was very exciting, especially the one or three people who came later, and they were all witty, which made the emperor Longyan happy.
Niu Cen Hai still passed the test in this palace test, and finally ranked third in the first class, becoming a freshly baked jinshi.
The champions and bangyan in the first class are not very old, but they are both older than Niu Cenhai, and they are all young adults in their twenties and thirties. Some people pity Niu Cen Hai and say, today, the emphasis is on filial piety, and the nouns of the first class are ranked according to age.
Some people also speculate that the emperor is now thirsty for talents, and deliberately ordered a few people in their twenties and thirties, because young adults of this age will neither be impetuous and impetuous because of their shallow experience, nor will they be conformist because of old age, which is the time when they can come in handy.
In this regard, the parties are noncommittal.
Even the emperor himself laughed when he heard this rumor: "After which palace examination, the people didn't talk about it?" No matter who I call to be the champion, they have something to say. When I ordered Su Minzhi at the beginning, didn't some people say that I judged people by their appearance and fell in love with Su Zhuangyuan's appearance? ”
It's just that some people have noticed that after this palace examination, although the top three in the first class have all entered the Hanlin Academy. However, there are some people in the second class who have been awarded important positions with low rank.
In short, this time the temple examination is over. But the aftermath has not stopped. And the emperor's thoughts also made many old courtiers guess.
On March 28, it is advisable to marry, ask for heirs, accept collections, and meet relatives and friends.
Avoid beaming, making stoves, felling, and securing doors.
this day. Shen Wei married Erniang.
Erniang's marriage was originally in front of Sanniang, but in the end because of a holy decree of the emperor. Sanniang married Erniang first.
Since Erniang married Shen Wei, she has been extremely cautious. On weekdays, I almost stay at home. Even the descendants of the Wang family rarely see this second lady.
A day earlier, the Shen Mansion began to put up lights, and Mrs. Shen's wife Ke was even more busy with her feet not touching the ground. This is the second time that the Shen family has held a happy event, but Ke still attaches great importance to it. What's more, she also wants to have a good start this time.
"Have you arranged the person who is going to greet your relatives? You can bring me today's menu again. Ke Shi carefully straightened the jade hairpin on his head in the mirror, and asked the old lady beside him.
"It's all arranged, just wait for the auspicious time for the young master to lead someone to the Wang family to pick up people. Today's menu has even been seen by the Queen Mother. specially invited the chef of Defeng Building to take charge of the cooking. Madame, don't worry. The grandmother said while helping Ke Shi hold the mirror.
At this time, a woman came from outside in a hurry, but when she reached the door, she did not come in. only glanced at the old lady behind Ke's.
The old lady thought about it, asked the other maid to take the target in her hand and retreated first.
"What's going on? Do you know what day it is? It's not been a year or two since you were an errand boy in the house, why are you still so babbling when you encounter something? The old lady frowned and reprimanded.
The mother-in-law looked anxious, ignored the old grandmother's reproach, and said straightforwardly: "Mama Xiang, the young master has not returned to the house yet, and the time to welcome the family is approaching, how can this be good?" In case something goes wrong when we welcome our relatives, where will we minions still have good fruit to eat? ”
Xiang Mama couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this: "What? The young master is not in the house? When did he leave the house? Why don't you stop it? Knowing that today is the young master's big day, the whole house, including the queen mother in the palace, is looking at it. ”
The mother-in-law looked bitter: "Where is the young master going, who dares to stop him?" I wouldn't dare you lend me ten guts. Let alone...... What's more, the young master didn't go out early this morning, he, he hasn't been back since he went out last night. ”
"What did you say?" Xiang Mama glared at the woman.
The mother-in-law lowered her head and didn't dare to speak, although she was sent to the young master's yard by her wife, but the young master had an order that nothing in his yard should be passed on, otherwise, it would ...... Thinking of the young master's gentle smiling face, the woman shuddered somehow.
If it weren't for the auspicious time coming, Madame would send someone to find the young master in the courtyard, and this matter would not be hidden, and she would not have told the young master that he was not in the courtyard anyway.
"Is it Qing'an's family? Come in and talk back. Ke's voice came from inside.
Xiang Mama and Qing'an's family glanced at each other, and Qing'an's eyes pleaded: "Xiang Mama ......" This is not a good thing, she wants to tell Ke Shi for her for Mama Xiang.
Mama Xiang glared at Qing'an's family: "Now you know that you are in a hurry?" Why did you go in the first place? We slaves can't afford this, so go in and tell Madame. ”
Qing'an's family has some kinship with Xiang's mother, and Xiang's grandmother takes care of Qing'an's family very well on weekdays, otherwise she would not have been sent to Shen Wei's yard as a housekeeper. However, Mama Xiang has never interfered in the affairs of Shen Wei's yard.
Only the Qing'an family followed Mama Xiang into the house, and after saluting Ke's family, he said that Shen Wei was not in the house.
Ke Shi was also anxious when he heard this: "When is this?" Where did he go? This kid doesn't know how serious it is. Is there anything you can't do later? What could be more important than his marriage? What about the master? Go to the outer courtyard and talk to the master, and let the master send someone to find it. ”
Xiang Mama hurriedly comforted: "Madam, don't worry. The young master is a person who knows how to measure, and he must have an urgent matter to go. The master is in the outer courtyard at this time, if this news spreads to the outer courtyard, people will know and think that our house has despised the young lady of the Wang family, I'm afraid it's not good. I have to call the master aside and say that I can't make a big deal. ”
Ke Shi also remembered, and said busily: "It's still thoughtful, I'll send someone to find the master." Saying that, Ke Shi recruited the henchman next to him and asked her to go to the outer courtyard so as not to alarm others.
After the maid went out, Ke Shi said with a sad face: "Don't spread this matter to the Wang family." After Yulan died, the Sun family didn't know where they heard any rumors, saying that it was our only son who neglected Yulan and made her depressed and died. We are only gentle and polite, and we smile when we see people, where will we treat people badly? When Yulan was alive, Wei'er always spoke softly to her, for fear of bumping into her. However, the Sun family's in-laws actually believed it. ”
In Ke's heart, her son has always been well-behaved and sensible, and she never thinks about her son in a bad place.
Therefore, even if the people in the whole mansion, including Shen Ge Lao, had some scruples about Shen Wei, only Ke still regarded him as an ordinary child who still needed her mother's constant care.
Mama Xiang only listened quietly on the side and didn't say anything.

The heavy cyan curtain was lifted from the inside by a slender knuckle hand. And the light of heaven outside the tent shone into the tent.
The hand paused, and then the curtain was lifted and hung on the hook at the head of the bed, and the man wanted to get out of bed and put on his shoes. Before he wanted to, he stepped down with one foot, and a force dragged him into the curtain, and the curtain that was not firmly hung was driven by this force and slid down, revealing only a small gap, which covered the scenery in the bed.
A squirming sound accompanied by a sucking sound sounded in the curtain, and a few blushing and heart-pounding gasps spilled out before something swallowed them.
Half-loud, a soft, slightly hoarse voice gasped as he said, "Don't make trouble, I have to go back." ”
This sentence was exchanged for another storm of attacks.
It wasn't until a long time later that the wooden frame at the head of the bed made a loud noise, accompanied by a low cry of pain, and the curtain was lifted again.
A fair and gentle face was revealed.
"Shhh——, that's ruthless. The back of my head has a big bag, what do you say? A deep male voice on the bed complained.
Hearing this, the graceful man glanced back at the man with a smile, then turned back and leaned over to pick up the robe that had fallen to the ground.
His naked body revealed a perfect waistline, and the seductive arc of the sunken tail vertebrae behind him was hidden under the brocade quilt, but it made the man on the bed look dry.
Feeling a pair of irregular hands moving behind his back, the man who picked up the clothes paused, and then continued his movements, and was about to put on the clothes, but he didn't want the person next to him to be inch in, and his hands were getting more and more touched.
The Xiuya man had to reach out and wave the hairy hand away.
"Wasn't that pain enough for you just now?"
The man on the bed let out a low laugh and said ambiguously: "Nature is not enough, I don't believe you are enough." In the past, you wouldn't admit defeat so easily, you were so strong-natured that you didn't even want to be left behind in this matter. However, your temperament is very much to my liking. ”
The Xiuya man said coldly without looking back: "No matter how strong you are, don't you still lie under you?" ”
The man on the bed smiled, as if he was deliberate: "If you want to, I can't ...... it."
Xiuya's hand buttoned up, the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked into a smile, and he turned his eyes to look at the man: "Is this true?" ”
The man coughed lightly and said scoundrelly, "What words?" ”
The man was not in a hurry to get dressed at this time, he turned around and put his hands on the sides of the man's head, his gentle eyes suddenly became seductive and seductive, he lowered his head, and his lips gently brushed the man: "What you just said, if I want to ......" (to be continued)
