Chapter 221: The title of the gold list
ο»Ώ
At the same time that the news reached Sheep Liver Alley, Luo Mingmin smiled and said to Liu Dongxing: "When I saw Sister Wen Yi in the past, I only said that although she has an idea, she has a very soft temperament, and she doesn't like to quarrel with people in trouble, but I didn't expect to have such courage." β
Liu Dongxing withdrew his gaze from the letter and said lightly: "That's good, if she only knows how to obey the will of others in everything, she will not have a good time when she enters the door in the future." β
"But that Miss Gu Wu, I didn't expect it to be such a character, although I don't recognize her, but I also heard that she is gentle and demure, who knows that there is so much difference between the rumors and the truth"
Liu Dongxing frowned slightly: "This is a stupid person, it's not as good as Gu Liu, although Gu Liu is reckless and doesn't know the severity, he won't take revenge for his reputation for no reason." Besides, Gu Liu and Brother Ning are childhood sweethearts, and they are familiar with each other's temperament, if they become husband and wife, even if there are quarrels from time to time, Brother Ning can tolerate one or two; This Miss Gu Wu may not be able to get Brother Ning's understanding, if she still acts like this after she gets married, sooner or later she will suffer, but she will pity Brother Ning. β
Luo Mingmin smiled: "What is there to pity him?" He nodded about this marriage, and besides, if he was unhappy after marriage, it was also his parents' master, and you don't need to pity him. β
Liu Dongxing tugged at the corners of his mouth: "My second uncle seems to have no hope for him, if he doesn't want to turn his face with the Gu family, I'm afraid that he will withdraw from the marriage directly." Now that she wants to marry Gu Wu back, she has no choice but to do it, but this Miss Gu Wu's ability to cause trouble is not as great as her sister's. Besides, I heard that he has already shown his mouth twice, and I don't want his lady to get involved in the house again, I heard that the fifth lady of the Gu family helped the housekeeper in the Shilang Mansion, probably to wait for her to take over directly after she passed the door, right? β
Luo Mingmin was a little surprised: "Let the new daughter-in-law take over the gift directly?" How did I hear that Liu Shangshu intends to send his eldest son back to his hometown to study? I'm also worried that Liu Dongning's early intervention in clan affairs will bring the younger generation of your Liu clan over, which will be unfavorable to you."
Liu Dongxing smiled coldly: "He thinks about it, but where does Brother Ning have such a ability?" Staying under the noses of his parents, he can develop the temperament that only knows poetry and songs, and once he leaves his parents, he will only get more and more tired of those chores. He is now depressed at home every day, either by drinking to kill his sorrows, or by Zhenri staring at the book in a daze, but he didn't read a page, if it weren't for the clever girl waiting around him, he just told people that he was working hard, and the rumor would have spread a long time ago. Rao is like this, and the second uncle also found out the clue and passed on the board, but the family was not allowed to make a noise. β
Luo Mingmin's eyes widened: "Although he didn't allow his family to speak out, he couldn't hide it from you, my obedient, your ears and eyes are more capable than my subordinates, I didn't know that Liu Dongning was beaten." β
Liu Dongxing said coldly: "If I didn't have these people, I'm afraid that I wouldn't have been plotted by his family a few times." β
When Luo Mingmin heard what he said, he didn't want to say anything more, and the scene was cold for a while. Liu Dongxing didn't say anything, just looked at the letter in his hand repeatedly, and put it away with a slight sadness.
Seeing this, Luo Mingmin was also happy to change the topic: "What? Did Wen Yi's sister write anything bad in her letter? I thought she was just complaining to you about the troubles at home, and a few words of relief were all it takes, so why bother? β
Liu Dongxing shook his head, got up and put the letter in a box on the shelf.
Luo Mingmin refused to let it go, and insisted on asking: "What's wrong?" If it's a private conversation between the two of you, that's fine, but looking at your appearance, it doesn't seem to be that simple? If there is any difficulty, tell me that maybe I can help solve it? β
Liu Dongxing was silent for a while before saying, "She wants to go home, the sooner the better."
Luo Mingmin blinked: "But...... Didn't you tell her in your last letter? He blinked again and smiled playfully, "Sure enough, Sister Wen Yi has always had an idea." β
Liu Dongxing glanced at him angrily, a little frustrated: "I'm just worried that she will encounter danger on the road, she has traveled thousands of miles, and the journey between Guzhuang and Pingyin is only a hundred miles, but it can't be the same day." But she insisted on going back to her hometown on her own. After a pause, her face became a little gloomy, "It must be that the people in the Gu family's room acted too much, which made her feel cold, otherwise why would she be so anxious?" β
Luo Mingmin said with a smile: "Just now, you also said that she is a person with ideas, but before she finished speaking, you suffered from her having ideas, and it was really Xiao He who succeeded, and Xiao He who failed." But I don't think you have to worry about it, Sister Wen Yi wants to go first, probably miss home, right? The last time my aunt was talking, I mentioned that she was talking about the family's fields, her grandmother's body, and her younger brothers' homework. She has been in Beijing for half a year, and it is common for her to be homesick. β
Liu Dongxing sighed: "I don't know this truth, it's just ......" hesitated, "I don't know what's wrong, the family matter has finally been decided, and I am also very happy in my heart, I just hope that everything will go smoothly in the future." It's only been a few days, and she won't listen to my persuasion...... "He does feel a headache, his fiancΓ©e is too submissive, he will worry about her suffering in the future, but she is too thoughtful, and he is also very annoyed."
Luo Mingmin persuaded him: "If she wants to go back, let her go back, right?" She came to Beijing just for the two of you to get married, but now that the matter is done, the situation in the Gu family's room is the same, and it is normal for her to want to go back early. As for her safety on the road, you don't have to worry, our family's fleet doesn't know how many officials and businessmen have to accompany her all year round, which is a matter of convenience for everyone. I'll go to the business house and ask if there are any such officials who want to go south recently, and count Wen Yi's sister as a share. She already has male and female family members waiting with her, if you are still not at ease, you can choose a few reliable and clever escorts from your family. β
Liu Dongxing listened, but he didn't mean to show his face, just looked up at him.
Luo Mingmin was a little dumbfounded: "What's wrong?" β
Liu Dongxing lowered his voice and said, "I did it on purpose. I don't want her to go back. β
Luo Mingmin was puzzled: "Why is this?" You ......" rolled his eyes and lowered his voice, "Don't be stupid, her old lady is not in front of her, she will never agree to marry you"
Liu Dongxing smiled: "So, I have already sent someone to send a letter to Pingyang." β
Luo Mingmin opened his mouth wide: "What?" β
"Gu Jia's room is really unreliable, if you wait any longer, who knows what will happen?" Liu Dongxing said, "Wen Yi will be fifteen in April this year, and she will be able to get married." Now it's just that her grandmother and brother are not in front of her, and she refuses to leave the long house. I wrote everything that happened in the past six months into the letter, and then added oil and vinegar to exaggerate the evil deeds of the Gu family's room to the extreme, and then sent someone to Pingyang quickly, and asked the old lady to deign to go to Beijing and handle the marriage in person, which also saved a lot of dreams at night. Didn't the Gu family's room just send a letter back to their hometown, and they wanted to take the second husband and wife of the Gu family to Beijing for marriage? With them together, the old lady also has someone to take care of on the road. Horizontally and vertically, you want to send a dowry to the north, so what's the point of bringing one more? β
Luo Mingmin was almost speechless: "You...... Aren't you afraid that Sister Wen Yi will be angry if she finds out? β
Liu Dongxing was stunned, glanced at the box containing the letter again, and said helplessly: "When the time comes, just coax people back." Besides, I invited my grandmother, whom she longed for, for fear that she would be pleased, and would not annoy me. β
Luo Mingmin shook his head when he heard this: "You're too messy...... Too old a lady? Aren't you afraid that she will have a good one on the road? β
"The old Fengjun in the Gu family's room is even older, isn't it safe and sound? Besides, now that the weather has warmed up, the old man is not afraid of the cold wind, and the prescriptions she has prescribed for the past two years have been prescribed by the master with my own eyes. I think the second master and wife of the Gu family must arrive before April, and not later than early April at the latest, otherwise the wedding will really be postponed, so I just need to drag Wen Yi for the time being and not let her leave Beijing before that, otherwise their grandparents and grandchildren will miss it. "It's just not good to tell her directly, otherwise she'll be angry with me right away." β
Luo Mingmin couldn't help but snort a few times, glanced at him and said, "I don't think this thing is easy to do, Sister Wen Yi seems to have made up her mind, you can't say it directly, you have to think of a good excuse."
Liu Dongxing tilted his head: "Or...... persuaded her to wait for the results of Nie Heng's selection, so that she could report the good news to the Nie family after returning to her hometown? I'm afraid that the gold list here in Wuju will come out in a few days. β
Luo Mingmin stared at him with bad intentions: "Then you have to ask God to worship the Buddha, please God bless the Nie family's sick Pan An can pass all the way until he is admitted to the Shu Jishi."
It is still unknown whether Nie Heng will be able to pass the Shu Jishi examination, but the results of the examination are out, he is on the list, and he is within a hundred, and he successfully entered the palace examination. According to the practice of previous years, as long as the palace test does not make a big mistake, he will definitely be able to rank among the top three.
Wen Yi got the news and was overjoyed, and then received the good news that Wen Xian and Wen Liang were both on the list, and couldn't help but recall the suggestion in Liu Dongxing's reply, and reluctantly felt that it was okay to stay for a few more days, and wait until the results of the museum selection came out before leaving Beijing, which could also make the grandmother and uncle, uncle, cousin, and cousin in their hometown happy
There has been no happy event in Shilang's Mansion for a long time, this time Wenxian and Wenliang are both high schools, and when the old lady was happy, she immediately summoned Jiang Shi over, and repeatedly proposed to treat you to a good treat and have a good time. Jiang's heart was also happy for the eldest son's high school, so he naturally agreed, and Master Gu had no objections, but Wenxian himself did not approve, thinking that the palace exam was imminent, and it was more important to step up the revision of homework. Wenliang also agreed. Mrs. Yu had no choice but to put her mind off for the time being, but she still privately asked her family to set up a few tables of wine, and rewarded the people in the house to celebrate.
Just when the Shilang Mansion was immersed in joy, Wen Yi also received a message from Liu Dongxing's side. Liu Dongxing ranked seventh in the second class of high school in martial arts, and he was already a righteous martial artist, and he would soon know what position he would be awarded.
Wen Yi was happy for him in her heart. Since Liu Dongxing was born, he has been suppressed by his uncle and aunt, and he can't even participate in the imperial examination, so he has to find another way to take the martial arts examination instead. Now that he can finally get ahead, he no longer has to worry that Liu Shangshu will block his Qingyun Road
Just don't know where he's going to serve?
At present, the military situation in northern Xinjiang is tense, and all those who are sent to the north are all elite generals, and Liu Dongxing, as a newcomer, probably wants to go to the garrisons in various places to fill the vacancies, right? Hopefully it won't be too remote.
However, the results that came out of the military department a few days later surprised Wen Yi.
Liu Dongxing was appointed as the general of Wupin Wuluo, sent to the camp in Jingnan, and will leave for northern Xinjiang next month.
