Chapter 102: Half-brother and sister
"What if he can't get through?" Smoke asked.
"Naturally, there are better people for me to use." Xiang Run gently touched his wife's bulging belly, "It's really getting bigger and bigger, Yan'er, are you working hard?" ”
"I'm getting used to it, but it's not hard, and the grandmothers say it's going to be harder for a while." "Anyway, they always scare me, and I don't think anything about it." ”
"When the time comes, I will be with you." Xiang Run said, "Don't be afraid, although the queen mother is not here, the royal sisters and aunts will also come to take care of you." ”
"With the emperor here, with the royal sisters, grandmothers and aunts, I am very relieved, but it's a pity that my brother can't come." "I really want him to see my little nephew." ”
"He is a soldier, and he must not leave the garrison without major events, and when he reports on his work in Beijing next year, he will stay for a few more days." Xiang Run said with a smile, "If it is a little prince, I will hand him over to my uncle, and let my uncle take him to ride and shoot to practice martial arts, and be a man who stands up to the sky." ”
Like smoke is naturally happy, but she also understands the hidden dangers of the weight of her relatives in her heart, and every time she sees her brother in the future, she has to remind him of something, which is also her responsibility.
However, the emperor announced during the Dragon Boat Festival that he would not set up six palaces and no concubines during his reign, and it would always be better for the prince who did not have concubines to fight for power in the future.
And now, instead of worrying about these things, it is better to worry about when my brother will marry a wife, and there is always no one to take care of her. In a flash, it seems that the smoke has left Sichuan and Chongqing for more than a year, and there is no beautiful girl in the huge Sichuan and Chongqing who can enter his heart?
Let's say that Ling Chaofeng went to Lizhou Mansion to write a letter to Lian Yi, and Mrs. Meng heard that Ling Ershan had really won Xie Yuan in this province, so she knew that he had real talent and real learning.
I thought it would be so difficult to take the test for a show, but I won the lift, and it was the first name Xie Yuan, even if I didn't take the top prize in the future, I would be able to become an official and have a bright future.
Mrs. Meng's attitude was completely different from before, hearing that her daughter wanted to go to the inn to visit Xiaowan, but because of the long distance, she wanted to stay at the inn for one night, so she took the initiative to pack a few bags for her, and told her to stay for two more days and accompany Mrs. Ling well.
This is called Lian Yi, and she can't cry or laugh, but after all, it is her mother, and she has a sense of proportion in her own heart for the future.
In this way, everyone gathered at the inn to celebrate the understanding of Yuan in the two mountains, prepared some snacks and cakes that could stand the bumps and shelves, and winter clothes and cotton shoes, wrote a thick letter to him together, and then asked someone to take it to the capital.
On this day, the school dispersed, a group of people went out, outside was the carriage that each family came to greet, naturally most of the people came from other places, and Ling out of the same, relying on himself to live in the capital, the court rewarded the silver taels, and it was enough to eat and live in the capital for a year.
But walking on the streets of the city, living among the common people, what they will encounter and what they will face is a test that everyone has to endure in this year.
After a year, although it is the most important thing to have the knowledge to pass the temple examination, whether you can survive to that day and whether you can have a healthy body to accept the examination for several consecutive days is also the key to determining your fate.
At this moment, everyone came out in twos and threes, after a few days of getting along, the students are already familiar with each other, and it is not yet the moment of the final competition, everyone has a good relationship, and it is good to have a care for each other who have left their hometowns.
Today is slightly different from weekdays, usually when it is time to end school, Bifu's carriage will wait outside the door early, today Bi Zhenye came out with everyone, but no one came to pick up at home.
Ershan walked behind him, and he seemed to be relieved to see him, in fact, they were the same age, Bi Zhenye was even a year older than him, but he was pampered, with a white face and red lips, and he looked like a teenager.
Bi Zhenye turned around and saw Ershan coming out, everyone has been talking about this Ling Chu these days, some people inquired about his origin, and he was just running in an inn in a rural place, but how did such a person meet the emperor, and even the emperor of the Emperor Ninety-Five remembered him?
"Ling Chu, shall we go together?" Bi Zhenye opened his mouth to invite, "My family didn't come to pick it up today. ”
Ershan smiled faintly: "It doesn't seem to be on the way." ”
Bi Zhenye looked at the road ahead and said, "Don't get in the way, let's talk about it when we go to the front, maybe they will come, standing here and waiting, it's boring." ”
The two of them walked together, and the other students all saw it, Bi Zhenye was the son of the prime minister, and his family background was prominent, and he participated in the township examination as a prisoner of the country, which was different from Ershan, who needed to be qualified to enter the examination.
Even, if he does not participate in the imperial examination, he will be able to rely on his family background to worship an official and a half-position in the court in the future, but Prime Minister Bi Cheng does not want his son to be a mediocre person with a corpse and a vegetarian meal, so he wants him to temper himself in the imperial examination.
With such an identity, how dare others easily cling to it, even if many people have joined the prime minister's door, they don't dare to call Bi Zhenye brothers, and the boy who ran from this rural place dared to walk with Bi Gongzi.
"The emperor arrived that day, and he will call you one or two." Bi Zhenye asked kindly, "When will you see Tianyan?" ”
"Forget." Ershan's expression was indifferent, "That's a matter of heaven." ”
Bi Zhenye understands that to put it bluntly, it is also the emperor's personal matter, and the emperor must not want others to inquire more about his private actions, and Ling Chu has the responsibility to keep it secret.
"Ling Chu, where are you from, do you have a family in Beijing?" Bi Zhenye said, "If you are alone, it is better to come to my house for a while, and we can come to school together in the future and review our homework together." ”
Ershan was just about to answer, when he saw a familiar carriage galloping towards him.
The carriage stopped, and a beautiful girl jumped out of the carriage, brightly dressed, blooming brightly in the late autumn.
She was full of energy and lively movements, flying towards Bi Zhenye like a butterfly, and said happily: "Brother, I'm back, as soon as I come back, I'll pick you up." ”
Bi Zhenye smiled: "Hugh is rude, how can you be rude in front of my brother's classmates." ”
The little girl was busy saluting, and blessed in a proper manner: "The son is polite." ”
Then he grabbed his brother's arm and said, "Brother, I miss you so much." ”
"Sister Hanxi, young and ignorant, I hope you don't be surprised." Bi Zhenye said kindly, "Today, the elders in the family have returned from worshiping the Buddha, and I can't entertain you at home, but when I leave school tomorrow, I would like to go to my home to drink a cup of tea, and we can discuss some articles together." ”
Ling Chu raised his head, as if he agreed, his eyes fell on Bi Hanxi's face, but the girl with bright eyes and bright teeth was stunned, and her eyes were fixed on his face.
"Cold tide, don't be rude." Bi Zhenye reproached, "How can you stare at Ling Gongzi like this? ”
Han Xi came to her senses, restrained her gaze, and waited for her brother to get into the carriage with her, the carriage gradually moved away, and she saw Ling Chu walking on the side of the road from a distance, and then asked, "Brother, who is that son?" ”
Bi Zhenye said: "It is also the solution of this year's township test. ”
Han Xi asked, "Children of the family?" ”
The elder brother shook his head and said, "I came from a slightly cold background." ”
Bi Hanxi thought for a while and said with a smile: "That's strange, I thought I had seen him in some mansion, as if he was familiar." ”
Even Bi Zhenye said: "He looks dignified, wears the same uniform in school, and doesn't look like he was born in a poor family at all." The important thing is that the emperor has an old friend with him, and I have told my father, who wants me to pay more attention to him. ”
The matter of the temple between these men, Hanxi didn't care, just glanced at it, and suddenly broke into his heart.
Naturally, it is not the throbbing of a girl's spring love, but I deeply feel that this person seems to have been seen somewhere.
Yes, they've seen it.
When Ershan left home, Bi Hanxi was already three years old, but even Ershan couldn't remember the appearance of his little sister, and Bi Hanxi must not remember him. At that time, she was three years old, where did she come from, more than ten years later, the appearance of the brothers and sisters has changed greatly, and even Bi Zhenye doesn't remember him, right.
They have the blood of the same father in their bodies, and each has its own mother.
Ershan returned to the inn where he lived in Beijing, and the shopkeeper gave him a huge burden, which came from Baisha Town, and he returned to the room and unfolded it one by one, with everything to eat, wear, and a thick letter.
Lian Yi's handwriting is beautiful, Xiaowan is clumsy and stiff, every stroke of the shopkeeper is vigorous and powerful, and Uncle Biao painted a picture for him.
Ershan smiled, his family was in Baisha Town, and in the Prime Minister's Mansion, there were only enemies.
Let's say that after Lian Yi stayed in the inn for a few days, he still had to go back to Lizhou Mansion, because of the long distance, he had to go out early in the morning.
It was a fine day, Uncle Biao set up a carriage, and he said that he would go to Lizhou Mansion to buy some good ingredients to replenish Xiaowan's body, and he was going to leave at this time.
Everyone said goodbye in front of the door, and Xiaowan said, "I can't come to see you until I am born next year, you have to come to see me often." ”
Lian Yi touched her belly and said, "Don't worry about me, take care of your body." My mother has figured out now, Ershan has hope, and it is much easier for me to come than before. ”
Xiaowan smiled: "You can't go to the street to pretend to be a thief anymore, Ershan can't come back to arrest you." ”
Lian Yi hurriedly said to Su Su: "Su Su, I still owe you a roast chicken and a pair of shoes, and I will bring it to you when I come back." ”
They talked and laughed, sent Lian Yi to the carriage, and Uncle Biao and Aunt Zhang took her to Lizhou Mansion. Today, the sun is good and there is no wind, so Xiaowan and Su Su looked at the door for a while.
But at this moment, the carriage of Siyun Pavilion happened to come back from the dock of Baisha Town, and the people in their shop were carrying aromas wherever they went, Xiaowan and Su Su noticed it, so they helped each other and went to the store.
On the carriage, Yue Huaiyin gently lifted the curtain and saw Xiao Wan and Su Su turn around and enter the door, this is not unusual, there is no doubt that her appearance will not be welcomed, but how is Xiao Wan fat, from the back, her waist is a big circle.
"Really, she has a baby?" Yue Huaiyin was on the car, the carriage did not stop, and the inn naturally faded away from sight, her nails almost pinched into the wooden frame, "Mu Xiaowan really has a child?" Why ......?"
Soon, back to Baisha Town, Yue Huaiyin sat in the carriage and didn't want to move, and when she was invited down by the maidservant, she inadvertently raised her eyes and saw two women walking in the distance, who were Xiaowan's stepmother and her neighbor.
"Prepare tea and snacks." Yue Huaiyin instructed his subordinates, and then changed his expression, stood in front of the door with a smile, and beckoned to them.
