Five days after the palace test, the list was released, and Li Mobai's name was written high in the third place in the first class, and he became a new science and technology detective.

"Could it be that you really have to be lucky about this?" Du Mingxin said suspiciously while eating the flower cake made by Mr. Jiang.

"Sister-in-law, you look down on me like this!" Li Mobai said dissatisfiedly, but the work in his hand did not stop at all.

Several people were in Mr. Jiang's courtyard at this time, and Li Mobai got a three-foot-long tree root from somewhere two days ago, and moved directly to Mr. Jiang as soon as he entered the palace. The two of them pondered around the root for two whole days before they came up with a draft of what the root would look like.

At this time, Li Mobai tucked the hem of his robe into the sweat towel around his waist, held a one-foot-long saw in his hand, and was sweating profusely sawing the miscellaneous branches next to the tree roots.

Mr. Jiang watched with a smile, and stepped forward from time to time to point out.

"This is also your wish, and there is no need to take the test again. But after three years, do you have a good idea of where you want to go? Du Mingxin wiped the crumbs of the flower cake on his hands with a handkerchief, and picked up the plum blossom tea.

"Stay in the museum, stay in the Hanlin Academy, be an editor or something, and slowly work hard for qualifications." Li Mobai wiped the sweat on his head with his sleeve and sawed it up vigorously.

"Huh?" Du Mingxin was a little surprised, "Why does it sound so different from your style?" ”

"How good is Hanlin Academy!" Li Mobai said with a smile, "Noble and idle, there is no expatriate, and I go to the government on time every day." I'm so busy every day that I don't want to spend too much time on this! ”

Du Mingxin couldn't cry or laugh, for others, career is the right thing, and playing chess and painting is the icing on the cake. In Li Mobai's place, it was reversed.

"I thought you'd want to ask for a foreign appointment and go out for a walk."

Li Mobai shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I can't do this, if the old man doesn't come to the capital for a day, I won't be able to go out for a day." ”

"Princess Qiyu," a little maid came to report, "the little magpie beside the fifth girl is here." ”

Du Ming said curiously: "I sent someone to invite the fifth girl over, why didn't the main lord come, and the maid turned upside down?" Tell her to come and talk. ”

For a while, Xiao Que was brought over, first kowtowed to Du Mingxin, and then handed a burden to Chuncao, and then said: "The fifth girl is busy at home, so she can't come over, so she sent a slave to ask the princess for peace." In this bag are the clothes, shoes and socks made by the five girls for the little master on weekdays, and the stitches are a little rough, and the princess does not dislike them. ”

Du Mingxin took the burden and saw a pair of delicate tiger head shoes, which he couldn't put down in his hand. "What is Sister Shu'er busy with at home?"

Xiao Que showed a tangled expression on his face, and soon smiled again: "The fifth girl is at home to help Aunt Geng take care of the sixth girl, so she is a little unavailable." ”

"What do you do with so many maids?" Du Mingxin was a little angry, "There is still a nursing mother by the child's side, where is her turn to get an unmarried girl to take care of her sister?" Did my father say something? ”

Xiao Que glanced at Du Mingxin's face, hesitated, and said in a low voice: "Originally, the girl had packed her things and wanted to follow the grandma who went to the palace." But it happened that the second master was at home today, and when he saw it, he scolded him...... said that Aunt Geng is a broom star, and she will only give birth to girls...... Also say you, you ......"

"Say what's wrong with me?" Du Mingxin said in a deep voice, "You just have to say." ”

"Saying that you came out of your wife's belly and became a princess is not for nothing...... said that the fifth girl and the sixth girl were born to Aunt Geng, and they were destined to lose money, so it was better to find a rich family to marry and come back in exchange for some bride price......"

"As soon as the second master said this, the fifth girl was afraid that Aunt Geng would be angry at home alone, so she couldn't say it......"

Du Mingxin frowned and asked, "What about the eldest lady?" She doesn't help to persuade either? ”

"This is all said in the courtyard of our second room, and the eldest lady doesn't know about it...... She doesn't go to our side when she is free, except for the monthly routine on weekdays, the eldest lady doesn't care about our side of things. ”

"What has the eldest lady been up to lately?" Du Mingxin picked up the teacup and asked.

"It seems that I am busy inquiring about the new science and technology jinshi, whether there is a marriage match, and who are there in the family......"

Du Mingxin glanced at Li Mobai, who was still sawing the roots of the tree at the other end of the courtyard, shook his head, and instructed Chuncao: "Go and get some medicinal herbs and silk for Xiao Que." Bring it back to your girl, and say don't worry, I'll do it for her. ”

When Xiao Que heard this, his eyes turned red, and he knelt on the ground upright and kowtowed to Du Mingxin, and said, "Thank you princess on behalf of my girl!" ”

"Get up, and serve your girl and aunt well."

Seeing off Xiao Que, Du Mingxin walked to Mr. Jiang and sat down, looking at the peach blossom tree in the yard with lost eyes, quietly thinking about his thoughts.

"Worried about your sister?" Mr. Jiang sat down with her and asked.

Du Mingxin nodded, put his head in the crook of Mr. Jiang's arm, and said in a low voice: "If it wasn't for Mr. back then, I would be the same as Sister Shu'er now, and it was dark in front of me, and I couldn't see the way forward...... Now that I have something to rely on, I want to pull her out of the mire too...... When I came home from Songshan, Sister Shu sent me some shoes and socks on a snowy night, and there was always some true love between the sisters, and I didn't want to make her desperate. ”

"And what do you want to do?" Mr. Jiang stroked the broken hair in Du Mingxin's ear and pinned them behind his ear.

"If a woman in this world wants to live well, she must marry a good family." Du Mingxin smiled bitterly, "It's just that Sister Shu'er is a concubine, and secondly, she doesn't have any marriage, and the Du family can't be called any family, which makes me embarrassed for a while." ”

"Don't worry, Sister Shu'er is still young, just look for it slowly." Mr. Jiang patted Du Mingxin's stomach and said with a smile, "I'm thinking too much, be careful that I'm not happy in my stomach!" ”

Speaking of the child, Du Mingxin smiled, lowered his head and stroked his high belly, his eyes were full of love. It's almost time to see the child, and she's looking forward to it.

"Princess Qiyu, the eldest grandmother of the Duke of Wei has come to see you." A little maid came over again to report.

"Isn't this a matchmaker?" Mr. Jiang said with a smile.

"The Ding family is interested in Sister Zhu...... Du Mingxin was very helpless, "It's just that Sister Zhu is the same as the eldest aunt, her eyes are on the top of her forehead, and she dislikes Ding Gongzi's father for having no official status." Sister Ding is so enthusiastic, I really don't know how to refuse. ”

"Sister Shu'er may not be inappropriate," Mr. Jiang said with a smile, "and you should ask her why her family must be this family." Quantitative media, quantitative media, should they all be like you and Chen Xi? It's just that what the man's family has, what the woman's family has, everyone spreads out the cards and looks at it, and it is just a situation where it is neither high nor low, complementing each other. ”
