085 She didn't want to be an official

Duan's sentence "Can you help me dream a dream, when will my family's unfilial son marry a daughter-in-law" almost blurted out.

She still knows the importance very well, and at this time she sighed with emotion: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and the former prince are twins, and they are already connected to each other...... Chang Niangzi and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess also have a fate. ”

Chang Niangzi and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess have a lot of fate, she said it once when she saw the handwriting in Dayun Temple before.

Or because of this, the more Duan looked at the little girl in front of him, the more he felt that he fell in love.

Then he asked softly, "Besides this, what else did you dream of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess?" ”

"It's all some marginal ......" Chang Suining hesitated, as if he was worried that he would offend Her Royal Highness the eldest princess if she said these boundless dreams.

Duan smiled disappreliantly: "There are no outsiders here, but it's just a dream, just casual chat!" ”

Chang Sui Ning paused, and then said: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess said that she is down there now, and she can't even find anyone who can fight." ”

Duan was stunned: "......"

This is inevitably too highness!

The taste is too orthodox!

Chang Sui Ning seemed to feel ridiculous: "But His Highness is weak, how can he like to fight with others?" ”

Duan smiled, noncommittal.

He only asked again: "Your Highness has anything else to say?" ”

Chang Suining nodded: "His Royal Highness in the dream told me a thing, which needs to be conveyed to my wife, so I came to the door today." ”

"What does it have to do with me?" Duan immediately sat up straighter, his eyes full of anticipationβ€”after all, what this little girl said before was too smart!

Chang Suining: "Your Highness asked me to prepare more chestnuts and bring them to my wife when she went to the sacrifice." ”

Duan opened his mouth: "...... The kind that peels off the shell? ”

Chang Suining nodded: "Exactly." ”

Duan's expression of remorse immediately appeared: "Look at my carelessness, I never thought of bringing some chestnuts over during the sacrifice in previous years......"

It was so that His Royal Highness was so hungry, and in the end he was wise and martial all his life, but in the end, he was reduced to the point that he needed to use his dream to beg for chestnuts with his juniors!

Duan immediately called the female envoy: "Hurry up and go to the kitchen and ask if there are chestnuts in the house, if there are, they will all be steamed and brought over." If you don't have it in the house, you can find a way to buy some back, the sooner the better! ”

Duan's heart ached for a while and he blamed himself: "Your Highness, I'm afraid that I am stupid, and I didn't even come to explain directly in my dream." ”

Chang Suining: ...... Isn't this just a direct explanation?

Such horrible words were difficult to say, so she put gold on her face, and the gold was herself: "Or as Madame said, I have some fate with Your Highness." ”

Duan sighed and nodded: "Although many things are illusory, they may not be completely implausible...... I would love to meet Her Highness in a dream so that I could talk to her. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Chang Suining expectantly: "If Chang Niangzi dreams of His Highness again, can you help me convey one thing?" ”

Looking at the eyes full of nostalgia and nostalgia for the past, Chang Suining's heart was a little astringent, so he nodded: "Madam, please speak." ”

Duan said softly: "When I was young, His Royal Highness played with me and made a bet, and once buried a box in the eldest princess's mansion, and I and His Royal Highness each gave half of the things in the box, and His Highness said at that time, if anyone's embroidery is praised by Mama next month, the box will belong to whomβ€”β€”"

Hearing that she actually mentioned this, the little emotion in Chang Suining's heart disappeared immediately, and he asked tentatively with the mentality of "lonely and see if you can be a man": "...... So who wins? ”

Duan sighed lightly: "That time I narrowly won. ”

Chang Suining: "......"

Sure enough, in terms of not being a person, Duan Zhenyi rarely disappointed her.

The reason why there was that gamble back then was because her and Duan Zhenyi's embroidery skills were sparse, she was too busy with the war to take care of it, and Duan Zhenyi had no talent for straw bales.

I still remember that time when the embroidery of the two of them was sent to the new lady in the princess's mansion, who was in charge of the female red, and the grandmother was silent for a long time, as if she had encountered the biggest challenge in her life.

Duan Zhenyi asked Mama, who embroidered better?

In the face of such shameless questions, the corners of Mama's eyes twitched uncontrollably, and she could only give four words in desperation - indistinguishable.

That's going to be hard.

So, the box could not be dug up, and the two agreed to gamble next time.

But after Duan Zhenyi made a marriage, she was also busy with the war for several years and could not return to Beijing, so the matter was forgotten.

Now it seems that Duan Zhenyi is very obsessed with this, and in her dreams she wants to ask where the box is buried-

"The things in the box are not valuable, they are all old things from the time when His Highness and I were young, and they can be called a thought......," Duan said, his expression a little sad.

The good acting skills accumulated by "......" in his previous life made Chang Suining never reveal a strange demeanor.

That gamble was very big, and in order to lure her to take out more bets, Duan Zhenyi pressed half of her net worth, so the box was full of gold and silver jewelry, and some lonely and beloved things.

This is what Duan Zhenyi said at this time, "not precious", "old things from a young age", and "a thought".

It's hard not to be silent.

Duan finally advised: "Therefore, if I dream of His Highness again, I will ask the little lady for me." ”

After a moment, Chang Suining nodded in response.

"Tomorrow is His Royal Highness's birthday, I was going to go back to the eldest princess's mansion to worship, and the little lady often dreams of Her Royal Highness recently, so it's better to go together."

This is the purpose of Chang Suining's trip, and those ghostly nonsense words are paving the way.

At this time, it was good for the Duan clan to take the initiative.

But Chang Suining always felt ...... The purpose of this house is not pure, it may not be that there is a desire to strengthen some fate between "her and the eldest princess", so as to facilitate the dream meeting, so that she can ask where the box is.

Regardless of the cook's selflessness, the food handed to his mouth still had to be eaten, Chang Sui Ning seemed to be happy to respond, and after a moment of idle talk with the Duan family, he planned to leave because the goal was achieved.

But who knew that at this time, the previous female envoy turned back and returned with the Duan family, and there were two baskets of chestnuts in the house, and she had already ordered the kitchen to cook.

Duan smiled and said: "This dream is the credit of Chang Xiaoniang, and there is nothing to do left and right, why don't you peel chestnuts together to prepare for tomorrow's sacrifice later?" ”

Chang Suining: "......? ”

There are three things she is most unaccustomed to in her life, one is the instability of the country, the war and famine, the people are displaced, the second is that people who are not as good as her stand taller, and the third is why the chestnuts have to give birth to shells-

But the words were brought up by her, and it was really difficult to ride a tiger.

As a result, Chang Suining endured torture for half a day in the Zheng Guo Mansion, and almost peeled back all the chestnuts that he had not peeled in his previous life.

And because it was a sacrifice prepared for the "eldest princess", out of awe, there was no possibility of tasting it, so it could only be peeled and not eaten, which was even more torture in torture.

And Duan's frequent laziness, one moment called the steward to inquire about the affairs of the house, one moment ordered the kitchen to prepare lunch, every dish had to be considered for a long time, and the next time he sighed that his shoulder hurt when he was old, and he had to be pressed by someone...... It seems to perfectly restore the appearance of long thorns when I was a teenager and did my homework.

As a junior at this time, she is not qualified to give opinions.

It is suitable for a thousand days, but it is suitable for use.

After such a torment, after leaving the Duan family courtyard in the afternoon, Chang Suining, who had a sense of relief that the donkey had finally gotten down, met Wei Shuyi who was returning home from duty on the way out of the house.

"When I saw that there were Chang's cars and horses outside the house, I knew that Chang Niangzi was here." Uncle Wei, who was wearing an official robe, asked with a smile: "I don't know the food in the house, but it still meets the appetite of ordinary women?" ”

Chang Suining, who peeled chestnuts and doubted his life, nodded perfunctorily: "Very compatible." ”

"That'll be fine." Uncle Wei turned around with a smile, walked with Chang Suining, and made a "please" gesture: "As a thank you, let Wei send Chang Niangzi." ”

Chang Suining walked forward: "Why did Wei Shilang say thank you?" ”

Hearing the word "again", Uncle Wei laughed, and did not answer in a hurry, but praised and sighed: "Chang Niangzi is really a god, and she has such a keen and unique foresightβ€”β€”"

Chang Sui Ning was clear: "The person who will take over the secretary of the Ministry of Rites has been selected?" ”

The smile in Wei Shuyi's eyes was a little stronger: "Yes, it is Mrs. Chu." ”

"The DPRK and China have been arguing about this for more than half a month, and there has been a stalemate, and no one is willing to back down......," Wei Shuyi said slowly as he walked: "Until today, the sage proposed to be succeeded by Taifu Chu, and there is only one voice of opposition worth mentioning. ”

Chang Sui Ning didn't think twice: "That must be Chu Taifu himself." ”

Uncle Wei smiled in surprise: "Chang Niangzi is really divine." ”

Chang Sui Ning smiled and said nothing.

After all, when her teacher taught her, she often imagined the leisurely vision of listening to the breeze while playing the piano and watching the waves while fishing after resigning and retiring - the teacher had been preparing for this for a long time, but because the court refused to release her, he stayed in the stage of preparation.

This delay dragged on to the age of sixty-seven, seeing that the dawn and twilight were near, but at this time, he suddenly became the secretary of the Ministry of Rites-

The breeze and tide are gone, but the cusp of the storm is enough.

"However, what everyone expects, Mrs. Chu is really hard to refuse." Uncle Wei said with a smile: "The current stalemate has been resolved, and this method is Wei Mou's private dedication to the saint, so I have this thanks." ”

Since he was so honest, Chang Suining was not polite: "Then Wei Shilang owes me again." ”

Wei Shuyi nodded calmly: "Wei remembers, just wait for Chang Niangzi to ask for it at any time." ”

Chang Suining looked at the lush scenery of grass and trees in front of him, which was worthy of the Zheng Guogong Mansion that had built a mansion in the garden, and all he saw was vigorous and vibrant-

She said: "In the spring of the coming year, all the poor people can go all out without worrying about being disappointed." ”

Uncle Wei's smile on his face was a little faint, but he was more serious: "That's exactly the reason." ”

The sage chose to attack the Pei family, and Pei Min's location was a big inducement - the sage wanted to promote the children of the Han family to join the Shi to compete with the Shi clan, so he greatly promoted the system of taking scholars from the imperial examination, but the imperial examination has always been under the control of the Ministry of Rites, and important positions such as the Ministry of Rites have always been appointed by the officials of the Shi clan.

As the crown prince grew older, the saint could not wait any longer.

But except for Pei Min, he just took the first step-

The next step is to elect a new secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

The saint naturally wanted to choose a henchman official from a humble family, but those scholar forces had just experienced the decline of the Pei clan, and under the sense of crisis, they naturally refused to give in.

The saint can't let this step go, and once he does, his efforts will be wasted.

If the situation between the two sides is incompatible, then Mrs. Chu is a mountain.

Even if this mountain looks like a mound of earth up close, it can be well blocked between fire and waterβ€”

Counting up to three generations, Mrs. Chu can be regarded as a Xiaoshi clan, but his family has long since declined and withered, and he has long been far away from the sphere of influence of those Dashi clans whose interests are closely linked.

Mrs. Chu's wife was born in a poor family, and her children and grandchildren have not even entered the official career.

And he himself has never been a party with others, nor is he a minion of the empress, and what is even more commendable is that he is old, and he has reached an age where if there is no accident, it is easy to have an accident-

Even if you are lucky enough to survive to 70 Zhishi, there are only three years left.

In this way, the Shi clan forces still have three years to use to plan, and when the time is ripe, they will have the opportunity to retake the city in one fell swoop.

The same is true for the empress.

The struggle for power that involves a wide range of power is never achieved overnight, and this time it is equivalent to half a step back for each side to maintain a superficial balance, and the battle under the balance will not stop.

These Wei Shuyi did not say it explicitly, but in front of the girl who predicted everything from the beginning and directly pointed out the mystery, there was no need to say it clearly.

He couldn't help but ask again: "Does Chang Niangzi really have no intention of going to court?" ”

This question is more real than the last time.

"Far from it." Chang Sui Ning is rarely modest: "At my age, I should only study more." ”

Uncle Wei looked at her with interest: "What is the reading that Chang Niangzi refers to?" ”

I always feel that her "reading" will not be too ordinary-

"I'm going to go to Guozijian to study." Chang Suining's tone was casual.

Although he was prepared for an unusual situation, Wei Shuyi was still surprised at this time, and he was more puzzled: "Chang Niangzi should know that the inner school hall of the Guozi Prison is different, and the prisoners can be roughly divided into three categories, one is an official of the third grade or above or the children of the third and fourth class clans, the second is a person who has at least passed the township examination and has a meritorious reputation, and the third is the child of an ordinary commoner, who needs to pass three exams before he can be listed as a prisonerβ€”β€”"

He finally said: "Of course, none of these are the most important things for Chang Niangzi, the most important thing is that no matter what way you enter the national prison, the man's body is the first thing." ”

This has not changed, even if the saint is a woman today.

Today's Guozijian has been tied to the imperial examination, and it is impossible for women to enter the official position through the imperial examination, and female officials have always been only selected by the inner court.

Chang Sui Ning said: "I didn't want to be a prisoner, I just wanted to go to the Guozi Prison to study." ”

Wei Shuyi was a little confused when he heard it, and only followed her words and asked, "How does Chang Niangzi want to apprentice?" ”

Chang Sui Ning walked forward with his hands in his hands: "Worship my third father as a teacher." ”

Wei Shuyi: "...... Three Daddy? ”

"Guozi Jian Qiao's sacrificial wine-"

Uncle Wei smiled easily: "It turns out that what Chang Niangzi said about going to Guozijian to study is such a way to read. ”

Speaking of this, he had to remind: "But even if she worships Qiao and sacrifices wine as a teacher, Chang Niangzi is neither a prisoner nor a daughter, so there is no possibility of becoming an official." ”

"I said I don't plan to be an official." Chang Suining said again: "I just want to study." ”

Uncle Wei smiled and sighed: "Chang Niangzi's heart for learning is pure, but Wei, who opened his mouth and closed his mouth, is too utilitarian. ”

There was a hint of regret in his sigh.

Chang Suining did not explain.

Zhichun has nothing to do with her, and reading is just a disguise.

After all, she only said that she didn't plan to be an official-

I didn't say I wasn't going to do anything else.

……

The next day, it was the day when Chang Suining went to the Chongyue Eldest Princess's Mansion with the Duan family to worship.

Good night, everyone
