Yi Yu held his cheeks and listened to Lu Zhongzhi's explanation with a serious face, and gradually had a score in his heart about the marriage of the descendants of the Shi clan.

As the descendants of the scholars, especially the descendants, because the interests of the successor and the in-laws are closely related, in the matter of marriage, they cannot be as casual as ordinary people.

The first is the most common, and the marriage between the clans and surnames who are good friends with each other is happy, because the interests are tied together, and the marriage will make the relationship between the two parties stronger.

The second type is the most, and the concubines in the clan marry those who are slightly inferior to the family, and most of them are vassals.

The third, and most honorable, is marriage. The emperor himself issued an edict to designate the marriage of both men and women. This is also the most effective method used by the imperial power to regulate the intimacy between the clans and split the Mishi clan.

This refers to marriage, often after the imperial examination, whenever there is a change in the court. Lu Zhi is in the limelight, and he is the grandson of the Huaiguo Mansion, as long as he rises to the top in the imperial examination and has no marriage contract, he will definitely be appointed by the emperor to marry.

Therefore, Lu Zhongzhi would ask Yi Yu if Lu Zhi had a favorite woman, and he wanted to help him book a family affair that he liked before the imperial examination.

“...... These things should have been told to you by your grandmother or your mother herself, and some things should not be too clear to you," Lu Zhongzhi looked at Yu Yu, his eyes sharpened, and said:

"But grandfather knows that you are not those ordinary little girls, our ancestors and grandchildren don't pay attention to those, now I will tell you personally, one is because it involves your eldest brother's affairs, your mother still doesn't know when she will be able to find it, your eldest brother's affairs, you will be more concerned, and secondly, because you will be in the limelight in another year and a half, and the five courtyards are more in the limelight than you, before that, there will never be fewer people who come to the door to say that they are engaged, grandfather wants you to have a bottom in your heart, you and remember——"

"Don't have anything to do with the princes."

But seeing that he had a solemn face, no matter how cautious he was, Yi Yu's heart jumped involuntarily, and the hand on the skirt clenched into a fist. Old Man Lu didn't notice her abnormality, and continued:

"Grandfather knows that you have some private friendship with King Wei, after years of leaving Beijing, the old man does not know this fourth highness, but at this age, you should see everything clearly, this royal highness who is quite favored by the saint, is definitely a ruthless and ruthless character, you still don't want to be involved with him, in addition, the old man heard some rumors yesterday, the emperor intends to help him choose a concubine around King Wei's birthday, this matter is very wide-ranging, maybe I am too worried, at this juncture, Yu'er, listen to grandpa's words, stay away from him, you know?"

"Well, the kid got it." Yi Yu smiled and nodded obediently in response.

"You pay attention to your eldest brother's business, and when he comes back at noon, the old man will talk to him again." Lu Zhongzhi drank the tea that had become warm, put the cup, and was about to get up and leave.

Yi Yu sent him to the door, the old man waved his hand, on his own crutches, and left under the steward's follow, and when he was sent away, the smile on her face dimmed, and her eyes were swaying, looking at the withered spring under the courtyard wall.

Li Tai, I'm going to marry a concubine......

"Miss, go into the house, it's cold outside."

"Hmm." Yi Yu came back to his senses and gently patted his cheek under Pingtong Pinghui's puzzled gaze.

What's so surprising about this, he is a noble King of Wei, an adult prince with a heart for the throne, if he doesn't marry a concubine, then it's strange, the side room, the main room, and there will be a group of concubines in the future, maybe there are more wives, and he can't say if his facial paralysis will be better!

Ignoring the loss in her heart, Yu Yu thought a little evilly, turned around and walked into the house, and continued to practice her words.

Lu Zhi went to school in the morning, and as he expected, Bachelor Xie, who was in charge of related matters, was very sorry to tell him that he was disqualified, and in the spacious teaching house, there were more than a dozen people left, and they were happy to hear this, after all, if Lu Zhi was left, there would definitely be one less place, and no one wanted to be brushed down at this last moment.

"Thank you Mr. Xie for your guidance two days ago, and the student will leave first."

Lu Zhi saluted Xie Yan, his reaction was very decent, he turned his head and glanced at Cheng Xiaofeng casually, and then let her who was about to move settle down, and sat honestly in the same place, watching him slowly walk out of the teaching house.

"It's a pity." Eldest Sun Xi, who was sitting on Cheng Xiaofeng's left, said regretfully.

When Cheng Xiaofeng heard this, she turned her head and responded, "If it weren't for the delay, Ah Zhiyi would have been selected." ”

Sitting behind the two of them was Lu Shuqing, who was studying ink, and said in a volume that they could all hear: "Even if he was chosen, the eldest brother didn't have time to take care of these things, after all, now the aunt has no news, how can he have the mind." ”

Listening to her address to Lu Zhi, Cheng Xiaofeng rolled her eyes and didn't answer, but Changsun Xi turned sideways and asked:

"Speaking of which, I heard that the second young lady is sick, is she feeling better now?"

"Hmm." Lu Shuqing replied casually, God knows that she has never seen half of the jade in the past few days.

"That's fine, I'm just about to inform you that the Errong Poetry Society is going to have a small gathering in Shuyun Pavilion tonight, you must come, please trouble Miss Lu to go back and tell the second miss."

Lu Shuqing said with a smile, "I'll bring it, I can't care if she goes or not." ”

Eldest Sun Xi frowned, nodded, and said to Cheng Xiaofeng again, "Sister Xiaofeng is going this time." ”

Cheng Xiaofeng, who has always been able to escape from the activities of the Errong Poetry Society, said sarcastically: "Let's talk about it." ”

East Pavilion of the Literature Museum

It was almost noon, Xie Yan hurriedly trotted through the corridor with two books in his hand, and saw Ah Sheng standing outside the main room on the first floor of the East Pavilion from a distance, so he slowed down.

"Steward Li, is the prince still in there?"

"This is not waiting for you, Master Xie, hurry up and go in." Ah Sheng leaned sideways and lifted the curtain and let him into the house.

Xie Yan thanked him very politely, and then stepped into the warm room, and after taking a breath, he lowered his head and bypassed the screen, walked into the inner room, and bowed to Li Tai, who was sitting behind the desk in front of the window, took two steps forward, and handed over a document fold with both hands.

"Lord Wang, this time the book is revised from the Guozijian and the Literature Museum, and thirteen people are all selected, this is the list, please take a look."

"Hmm." Li Tai put down the book in his hand, opened the blue paper fold and swept the names of the people on it, reached out to take the brush, sketched it a few times, then closed the text fold, threw it to Xie Yan, and said:

"Re-record a copy, note the bachelors and the gentlemen who participated in the revision of the Hongwen Pavilion, take it to the province of Menxia, and ask for an edict."

"Yes." Xie Yan responded, and after turning around, he curiously opened the text fold in his hand to look at it, but saw that one of the names in the list of names belonging to the Literature Museum was ticked off, and another name was added next to it.

It was already noon, it was lunchtime, Li Tai stayed in the Literature Museum for another quarter of an hour, and then returned to the palace, and when he entered the door, the housekeeper handed over a post, saying:

"Lord, this is sent by the crown prince."

Ah Sheng took the post, followed Li Tai's footsteps, and after reading it, he asked: "Master, the prince invites you to have a small gathering tonight." ”

"Returned." Li Tai replied without thinking about it, these days are when there are many things, and he has no spare time to deal with Li Chengqian.

Ah Sheng glanced at the post again and hesitated: "This time it is about in Shuyun Pavilion, not the land of fireworks." ”

Hearing this, even Li Tai's eyes showed some surprise, you know, but whenever Li Chengqian invites, it is all set in the Fengyue place in Pingkangfang, and then a group of singers and dancers are called to accompany them.

And what kind of place is Shuyun Pavilion, it is an elegant place for chanting poems and appreciating paintings and words, the prince invited him at night, and chose to see him there, is it because he has changed his sex.

“...... Let's go check it out. ”

Lu Zhi had lunch outside before returning home, and saw Lu Shuqing's back from a distance outside the Xiangli Courtyard, and after entering the east house, he saw the jade sitting on the blanket holding a small basket of embroidery threads and matching colors, and asked:

"Just now, Lu Shuqing has been here?"

Yi Yu heard the voice and looked up, "She just left, has the eldest brother eaten?" ”

"Well," Lu Zhi sat down across from her, took the teacup handed by Ping Tong, and asked, "What is she looking for you to do?" ”

Yi Yu picked out a light red thread and put it on the goose yellow, and said, "It is said that it is a small gathering of the Errong Poetry Society at night - do you like this color?" ”

Lu Zhi looked at the two wire boards she held up in front of her, and said, "It's okay, you went out in the morning?" The well-coloured threads and some of the fabric around her were clearly new.

Yi Yu jumped out of the two colors and said with a smile, "No, eldest brother, I still remember the last time we saw the shopkeeper in an embroidery workshop in the Eastern Metropolis, it was Lu Zheng, and he sent it over in the morning." ”

Huaiguo Mansion also has several industries in the capital, and the embroidery workshop is one of them. Now that their identities have changed greatly, some of the objects in the past are inevitably cold again, and they don't want to fake the hands of others, Yiyu is planning to help Lu Zhi and Lu Jun embroider some new lotus bags and other things, and when they saw someone sending them, they thought that they were their own things anyway, so they took it away.

Lu Zhi was not surprised to see her happy, Yi Yu has liked to make needles and threads since he was a child, and like Lu's, he is happier than gold and silver hairpin rings when he sees good thread materials.

"You're going to go over at night?" Lu Zhi reached out and picked up a piece of silky silk cloth and asked.

"It's not good not to go," he didn't say explicitly, and Yi Yu also heard that he didn't want to let him go, wrapped the thread in his hand, and said, "If no one informs me, I have specially found someone to pass the word." ”

"Where's the covenant?" He didn't want her to go, but he wouldn't interfere with her either.

"Shu Yunge," Yi Yu hung the hair behind his ears and joked: "I asked, it is a good place to drink tea and compose poems, there are so many people, the eldest brother is still afraid that I will lose it?" ”

"If you want to go, let Lu Yao follow."

"Don't worry," Yi Yu shook his head and smiled, "Now I'm also a young lady from the Guogong Mansion." "It's not like anyone who wants to step on it.

Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows, and handed the empty cup to Pingtong noncommittally, so that after she was full, she drank tea and watched the relics go about her work, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility. (！ )
