However, because scientific research is related to official careers, cheating has also been repeatedly prohibited. It is said that there is a joke about a certain "flying pigeon passing the book" among the candidates. It is said that there is a candidate who trains a pigeon at home, and every night the pigeon flies into the house, and the candidate writes the exam questions very small, ties them to the pigeon's legs and brings them back, and invites the gunner who answers the questions at home, and then asks the pigeon to bring the answers back to the examination room. Since pigeons can't carry too heavy items, there are answers on both sides of the paper. Afraid that the candidate would miss it, he wrote the words "there is still on the back" at the bottom of the front. As a result, the old man also copied correctly, and was discovered by the examiner who read the papers......

The authenticity of this story cannot be verified, but it inspired many candidates, and there are more pigeon breeders. But the soldiers who were hard to prevent cheating, strengthened their vigilance at night, and prepared archers, who were ready for battle, and shot down when they saw the birds. It is said that he also shot down a love letter from a certain lady to her lover!

After the nine-day spring festival, the small stone came out of the tribute courtyard, a little haggard, and in good spirits. The only people who came to greet him outside the Gongyuan were his eldest brother-in-law Zhuang Xiaomo and his little servant. There was a moment of surprise on Xiao Shi's face, and he soon showed a look of surprise again.

Zhuang Xiaomo took the test basket in his hand and said with a smile: "Today is the fifteenth day of your second sister's makeup." Originally, she was going to come and pick you up in person, but her family stopped her. Your second sister's godmother said: On the day of adding makeup, the heroine is not there, is it like words? Her good sisters still need her to entertain them! There are a lot of people who come to add makeup, and the identity is quite scary, and the family is busy. Your eldest sister sees that the time is almost up, let me pick you up, and explain it to you by the way. ”

Zhuang Xiaomo didn't ask his brother-in-law how he did in the exam. In his opinion, with such a master as Yuan Daru under his guidance, the brother-in-law is highly talented, so it's no wonder if he can't take the test!

"Let's go back quickly! Let's see if we can help! For the second sister to marry three days later, Xiao Shi still has a slight resistance and sourness in his heart. The second sister will soon be someone else's family, and she has her own small family, so she can't be like before, as long as he is around, he revolves around him when he is there. When she has her own baby, he, who is a younger brother, is probably going to be left behind!

In turn, he was a little embarrassed! I am all going to be admitted to the Jinshi and will be an official in the future, and I am still attached to my sister like a child. Even has the intention of competing for favor for the future little nephew, is it still the talented and young Xie Yuangong in the eyes of outsiders?

Xiao Shi entered his courtyard through the corner gate, washed up, changed his clothes, and came out to help Zhang Luo entertain the guests.

There are a lot of people who come to add makeup today. Although the queen never left the palace, she sent a personal palace maid to send a ganoderma lucidum-shaped mutton fat jade Ruyi, with peanuts carved out of jade embedded in the middle, which has the meaning of "satisfying your heart and giving birth to a noble son early".

The eldest princess is very old, but she also personally drove to Yufu and gave a flower-shaped black jade Ruyi, tied with a golden silk double knot. It has the meaning of eternal union.

Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis and Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis also gave valuable heads. One is from the Treasure Cabinet, where the diamonds sparkle in the sun; One set is the masterpiece of Zhiyu Zhai, the glass is red, moist and transparent, the color is gorgeous, gorgeous and dazzling. It's no wonder that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law gave such expensive makeup. You must know that without the maintenance of the grass, it is very likely that the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion will be extinct, how can there be a little radish head around the knee now?

Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Shizi, after giving birth to her eldest son, hugged her for four years, including a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses. Dingyuanhou is also straight outside, and he walks with the wind. Mrs. Dingyuan helped bring her grandchildren, and her spirit was much better, and her complexion was better than before. She also paid attention to maintenance, and customized medicinal meals in the medicinal food workshop, which were delivered to her home every day and eaten on time. In her words, she has to take good care of herself, and her daughter-in-law is too busy with five little ones to take care of herself, so she has to go into battle to help. She wants to watch her grandchildren grow up one by one, marry a wife, have children and marry others, and maybe she can help bring her great-grandchildren when the time comes!

For the great benefactor of the Marquis of Dingyuan's Mansion, Mrs. Marquis Dingyuan has always wanted to find an opportunity to express her gratitude. But Xiaocao was set by the king of Yangjun early, and the king of Yangjun had outstanding military achievements and was named King Xu. In order to avoid being impeached and accused of forming a party for personal gain, he did not dare to have too much contact except for occasional contacts. Now, taking advantage of the opportunity for her to get married, it is natural to express it.

Mrs. Dingyuan's daughter, Xiaocao's best friend He Wanning also came. Not long after she came out of confinement, her whole person was a little plump, and she also added a bit of maternal gentleness. He Wanning also sent a set of head faces, inlaid with pink crystals, with a chic and vivid shape. It is also produced by the Treasure Pavilion.

Although crystal is not of much value in modern times, it is an overseas import at this time. Rare things are expensive, and the crystal texture is clear and moist, and the colors are bright and varied, which is the most liked by little girls. A pink crystal bead hairpin in the Treasure Pavilion, eight hundred silver per thousand, can't be taken down. Not to mention this whole set of jewelry?

Xiaocao's other good sister, Yuan Xueyan, has just found out that there is a superstitious saying that pregnant people in ancient times could not see the bride, so they couldn't come in person. A set of ruby jewelry worth thousands of taels was also delivered.

Yuan Xueyan married herself off last spring, and the groom was actually Ning Donglan, the second young master of the Rongguo Mansion, which made He Wanning and Xiaocao almost lose their eyes. When did these two people look at each other? Why are there no signs at all?

When the two tortured Yuan Xueyan, she said this: Since a woman can't escape the fate of marrying after all, as long as she doesn't hate it, it's the same for anyone she marries. I have a cold temperament, Ning Donglan looks like a warm feeling, and it shouldn't be a problem to make do with it for the rest of my life.

Xiaocao once poured out her worries to Zhu Junyang, and paid special attention to the newcomer for a while. After marriage, these two raised their eyebrows and respected each other, looking like a harmonious couple. Xiaocao thought that with Sister Yuan's temperament, the two would have to run in for a while. But thinking about Ning Donglan's exquisiteness in all aspects, as long as he wants to do nothing he can't do, what's so difficult to overcome an iceberg? I didn't expect the two to have their own baby so soon, I believe that after having a child, there may be something more between the two, right?

Then, more and more little sisters came to add makeup. Lord Minglan, Yu Wanqing, Li Mengru, Li Mengqi sisters, and some little girls who are close to the Fang family also took the opportunity to brush up their sense of existence in front of the future Princess Xu. There are also many official ladies who only nod their heads on weekdays, and they also came to add makeup to her.

That night, looking at so many good things, Yu Xiaocao deliberately showed a small expression of a wealth fan, and shouted again and again: "Get rich, get rich!" If this is a few more relatives, I won't become the first rich woman in Beijing? …… Oops!! ”

Before he finished speaking, he was knocked on the head with two chestnuts. Turning her head, her mother and godmother both looked at her with a complicated look.

Liu sighed and said, "Sister Xia, look at it, the person who is about to get married, is still so open-mouthed." She's going to marry an ordinary family, but that's fine. But I married into King Xu's mansion, how can I rest assured!! ”

Mrs. Fang glared at the little girl who was rubbing her head and looked sneering, and comforted: "I think you are too worried!" Not to mention how King Xu treats our daughter, you still don't know the temperament of our daughter, so in front of the loved ones at home, I relaxed a little more casually. Out there, when did something go wrong? However, you girl, pay attention to what you talk in the past two days, and try to be auspicious! If you become a few more relatives, you can say it casually? ”

The last two sentences were a little harsh, and Xiaocao obediently bowed her head and admitted her mistake. Xiaolian and sister-in-law Liu. Huifang saw that her little sister was pitifully trained, so she hurriedly pleaded for her to say good things.

Liu Shi said a few more words, and was worried about the makeup in the room: "A few days ago, we were so worried that our hair was almost half white, so we just stuffed the dowry into one hundred and twenty lifts. There's so much more makeup, but what should I do? ”

Mrs. Fang also frowned worriedly, looked at these makeup additions, sighed, and said, "It seems that the relationship between the girl is too good, and it is also a burden!" It's just the makeup of her little sisters, the queen's, the eldest princess, the Duchess of Rongguo, the Marquis of Dingyuan, and the prime minister's wife...... All of these are to be lifted alone...... It seems that more than a dozen of them are going to be repacked and put out to add these makeup! ”

"What then? One hundred and twenty lifts, all of which are streamlined and streamlined, and are shoehorned in. Where can we make so many more lifts? "People are worried about not having enough dowry, and it turns out that too much dowry is also sad!

Yu Xiaocao didn't seem to have anything to do with him, and said very casually: "If you can't fit it, stay it!" Let's not point to the dowry as a façade! Who doesn't know, I myself am a god of gold and wealth. Marrying me is equivalent to marrying a mountain of gold...... Oops! Mother, you hit me again! It's broken, see what you do the day after tomorrow to compensate King Xu? ”

"Is there anyone as cheeky as you are? Mother, who is this for? Not for you? King Xu sent such a rich dowry, if our dowry is less, I don't know what to say outside! "The Liu family has always been worried about the rumors of King Gao Panxu of Yufu outside! Why is her daughter not worthy of King Xu? She didn't think that King Xu was old, so it was good to be lonely! If it weren't for King Xu's sincerity, she wouldn't be happy to marry her daughter!!

"If your tongue grows in someone else's mouth, what do you do with what they say? According to me, those houses and shops are all left for the eldest brother and the younger brother. One of them is going to inherit the family business, and the other is an official in the court, isn't it good to thank the industry? Yu Xiaocao has always refused for his parents to divide the property in their hands into four equal shares and give him a share as a dowry. The eldest brother and younger brother are the foundation of the Yu family, and the family business that the parents have saved with great difficulty should be passed on to the children and grandchildren of the Yu family.
