In the previous dynasty, Yi Di entered China, and many ancient ceremonies for weddings and funerals were abolished.

Since the founding of Taizu in this dynasty, the Ministry of Rites has consulted ancient books, set up another marriage customs, and asked for names, Nacai, Naji, Nazheng (also known as Na Yuan), invited periods, and greeted six festivals, especially asking for names and greeting in person.

However, folk marriage customs generally only practice four etiquettes: acceptance, acceptance, invitation, and welcome.

Xue's re-entry into the official eunuch (the ancestor of the Xue family was once a Ziwei Sheren, and it is also considered the family of the official eunuch), naturally it will not violate the etiquette system to make people laugh, so even if the two families are tentatively married, they will meet to find a good day and then invite a matchmaker to come to the door, and replace Geng Tie to ask for a name ceremony.

It is also Baochai's fate, and the marriage is very twists and turns. finally got rid of the calculation of his uncle Wang Ziteng, and he didn't want to die even when the three families were asked.

I don't know who spread the news that the Xue family looked at women as women, so that it suddenly became the object of discussion among various families.

There are those who are pity, and there are even more ridiculers. After being canceled again, Mrs. Xue finally became ill and lay on the bed with a long sigh.

"Mrs., the Rongguo Mansion sent a post, Mrs. Tai recovered from her illness, please ask Mrs. to go to the mansion as a guest."

The maid sent a post that gave Mrs. Xue a little more spirited, yes, her family has become a joke in Beijing, but her family can't always be a joke in Beijing.

Her son is the confidant of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and her family also has in-laws of top martial artists such as Rongguo Mansion.

Go and ask the old lady, her compassionate person will definitely be able to find a good family for the treasure girl, and when the time comes, she will give the people who humiliated the Xue family before, an invitation to the family, and slap her face hard!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xue asked the maid about Baochai's situation, and when she learned that she was invited by several girls from Rongguo Mansion to hold a poetry meeting, she laughed.

"When I first came to Beijing, I said that I would go to live at my mother's house, but fortunately I lived in Rongguo Mansion......

In fact, Baochai at this time was also rejoicing, when he met the Jia family who went south in Huai'an Mansion, he met a nobleman, and the family's bad luck was reversed.

Even though her marriage has become a laughing stock in the capital now, and she is a little upset, she still straightens her back and smiles at life.

"My brother has not returned home for half a month, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked his brother to select five hundred cavalry from the six rates of the East Palace, and my brother led the drill, saying that he was going to inspect the nine sides in the coming year, and he was ready to compete with the warriors of the nine sides."

The poetry meeting is just a pretense, but I am worried that Baochai will be sad and sad, so I invite her to come over to relax and relieve her boredom.

"That's a happy event, but it's a little bitter. I heard from my second sister-in-law that my second brother went to Yansui Town once before, and he suffered a lot, and when he came back, he was black and thin."

Even if Yingchun didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the court, she still knew that Xue Pan, who was valued by the prince, had a great future in the future.

The rest of the sisters echoed and said hello to Baochai. Maybe it's because the sisters are talking and laughing together, the last trace of boredom in Baochai's heart is gone, and the smile on her face is even worse.

Baochai smiled like a flower, and said gratefully: "If you say that my brother can get the grace of God, I have to thank Forgiveness, Second Brother Lian and Brother Cong. He wasn't like this before, and Daddy didn't have a lot of headaches when he was there. Times have changed, and I don't want my brother to become a general one day."

"The third brother is also a general, and he is still such a powerful general!"

As soon as she heard Baochai praise her brother, Xiao Xichun immediately got up, and pouted and praised her brother.

Everyone couldn't help but be amused and covered their mouths and laughed, Daiyu reached out and pinched Xichun's little face, and said teasingly: "Your general's brother is still gritting his teeth and writing big characters in the study, do you want to call him to play?"

Xichun immediately jumped off the chair, ran to the courtyard gate with his little short legs, and shouted with a small mouth: "I'm going to find the third brother, and he said to make me a kite......

Hearing Daiyu's words, Baochai couldn't help but be surprised: "Brother Cong just came back and was studying for a few days?"

"There's no way, Mr. Qingteng gave him an order, let him give it a try in February next year, strive for the third triumph, and win the fame of Xiucai."

Daiyu remembered that Jia Cong was "beaten" by herself today, and pressed on the chair to practice calligraphy, and couldn't help laughing with crooked eyebrows.

Looked at the little sisters too

At the same time, Baochai was envious in her heart, and she was also happy for Daiyu.

Thinking of when she was in Huai'an Mansion, the thin and small Daiyu is really emotional compared to today.

"Sister Bao doesn't know, two days ago, he went to the palace to reply to the decree, and the saint and His Majesty gave him a reward, and he almost cried when he returned home. I kept muttering something in my mouth, 'Five-year college entrance examination and three-year simulation, saying that it is a reward, how can there be a reward for homework, isn't this bullying him?'

The more he talked, the more interesting he felt, and Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xiangyun, who knew about it, all laughed with Daiyu.

Even Baochai also imagined what Jia Cong looked like at that time, and his eyes were bent into crescent moons.

Laughing and laughing, several people in the room actually hoped that Jia Cong would be able to win a success, and try to report the victory in the boy in Mingchun.

"My brother told me that he plans to take the exam too?"

Well?

Xiangyun's sudden words surprised everyone, Baoyu actually wanted to take the imperial examination? Isn't he the least willing to read the sages?

Especially Tanchun, his eyes are about to pop out.

"Is this true?"

Xiangyun nodded proudly: "Brother Ai said that Brother Cong has gone to take the exam, if he doesn't come back after taking the exam, the second uncle won't beat him when he comes back."

Poof......

Everyone couldn't hold back and giggled in unison.

For this reason, they thought that Baoyu had really changed her character.

"What are you laughing at?"

Jia Cong lifted the curtain and walked in, and Xichun behind him grabbed Jia Cong's hand and shook it around, muttering bits and other broken thoughts such as kites and kites in his mouth.

He picked up Xichun and put it next to Daiyu, and then sat down on the chair by the edge of the window.

Knowing that it was Baoyu who was going to go to Shuntianfu with him to take the boy's test, not only did he not laugh at Baoyu, but said in a rhetorical manner: "Don't laugh at Second Brother Bao, don't talk about showing talent, with Second Brother Bao's talent, it is not difficult to take the Jinshi exam."

Ning Rong's two mansions are actually fond of three people, and the leader is Master Jing, who is a second-class jinshi in the examination.

The other two are all from the second room of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zhu, the eldest son of the old man, entered school at the age of fourteen, won the Xiucai merit in the Intermediate Court at the age of sixteen, and won the third place in the Shuntianfu Township Examination at the age of eighteen.

At that time, everyone said that Uncle Zhu of Rongguo Mansion was talented and was rated as one of the ten sons of the capital by Shilin, which shows that his literary spirit is very prosperous.

In fact, Bao Erye's talent is really no worse than Jia Zhu, and even stronger in some aspects, for example, if he concentrates on something, he can often achieve selflessness.

It's a pity that he doesn't like fame and fortune by nature, if Jia Cong didn't have an extra "natural wisdom", he really couldn't compare to Baoyu.

At the beginning, Yuan Chun enlightened Baoyu, who was literate at the age of four and could write poetry at the age of seven, and almost didn't kill the old man.

This is not to say that the lord does not like Baoyu, but he likes Baoyu too much, and when he thinks that the future of Rongguofu is ruined in the matter of "being born with jade", he is angry and wants to throw Mrs. Wang into the well.

Regardless of whether Baoyu was hot this time, Jia Cong still reciprocated his expectations.

How to mention it in the future for the time being, if Baoyu can really take the test for fame, it will be a great joy. There is a world of difference between having fame and not being famous.

With fame, in the future, Baoyu will have no income to sell homemade rouge gouache, which is also Xiucai brand and Renren brand rouge, and the value will definitely skyrocket.

Far away......

"Since Second Brother Bao really wants to take the test, I have a few books annotated by Confucianism, and Sister Yun will let people pick them up later. If I win the show with Second Brother Bao next year, we will definitely set up a three-day flowing water mat and set off 20,000 red firecrackers."

Brother Ai got Jia Cong's affirmation, Xiangyun was happy, and stuffed a plate of plums in his hand.

Jia Cong took the saucer, threw a plum into his mouth, made fun of Xiangyun twice, and then laughed and said, "A plate of plums is not enough, Sister Yun has done a good job of needlework, how about sewing a schoolbag for me?" In a few days, the teacher will return to Beijing, and I will go to the teacher's house to study, and it is really inconvenient to not have a school bag."

"School bag? What's that?"

She had heard of the bookcase, but Xiangyun had never heard of the schoolbag.

Jia Cong patted his head, picked up the pen on the table, and drew the image of carrying a schoolbag on his shoulders in his memory.

"It's better to sew two pockets on the sides and outside, that's what it looks like, so I can put the inkstone and ink strips...... Well, it's better to use a sturdy cloth, not flashy, but practical, durable."

Daiyu and others are novel, compared with the commonly used bookcases now, the schoolbags that Jia Cong said seem to be more convenient.

Especially Baochai, his eyes are brighter and brighter.

She whispered to Jia Cong, "Brother Cong, I don't know that this thing may be handed over to my shop to make ......

Not to mention the gathering of scholars in the capital, next year will be the 70th birthday of the emperor, and the imperial court is already planning the matter of Enke, and when the people from the world gather in the capital, novelties such as schoolbags will not be sold at all.

Jia Cong looked at the sisters and sisters who were looking around the drawings, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Yes, yes, but I have one condition......

It is not difficult to imitate the schoolbag, but it is the difference in materials and craftsmanship, and it is naturally not as good as the money-making thing of pearl jadeite.

But there is a brand of the imperial merchant Xue family, only talking about the shops in the capital, it is not a problem to get 18,000 taels of silver every year.

Jia Cong painted a few more commonly used schoolbag styles, both on one shoulder and on both shoulders. With these drawings, he handed them over to Baochai, and in exchange for five shares, he gave them to Sanchun, Daiyu, and Xiangyun.

Of course, this is only the revenue share of Gyeonggi states and counties, and each person can get about one or two thousand taels per year.

For the big families, the silver wasn't even enough to buy an Oiran. But for the girls in the family, this stable source of money will definitely make them worry about food and clothing.

You must know that the sum of the pardon lord and the official and the favor is only two thousand taels of silver when it is full in a year, although it has been punished until ten years later.

Of course, a prince of a dynasty like Lord Yu, is just an addition, and the serious income is the food given by the imperial court and the income from the family's grange property.

Relying on that little money, where can you afford to raise eighteen concubines?

Jia Cong didn't pay much attention to money, and gave all the sudden gains to his five sisters and sisters.

Yingchun is now a little rich woman, not to mention Daiyu, she is a wealthy family. Xichun is the only concubine of Ning Guofu, and there are only a handful of people in the entire capital who can compare to her.

Tanchun and Xiangyun are different, the two don't worry about food and clothing, but the silver on hand is not as good as the other sisters.

Especially Xiangyun, who has no father or mother, every month the old lady allocates twenty taels from her month to support the poor little girl.

"Brother Cong......"

Xiangyun, who was very arrogant, had red eyes, and tears came down when he said it.

This girl is also a delicate person now, Jia Cong held back the sigh that welled up in her throat, waved her hand and said, "Sister Yun, don't do this, it's just a little gold and silver. You see how powerful Sister Bao is, let's follow suit, and in the future, we will open hundreds of his shops and earn him 100,000,000 millions of silver flowers."

Burst......

Xiangyun, who was not teased, was suddenly amused by Jia Cong's words, and Daiyu raised her hand and gently knocked on Jia Cong's brain.

"It's strange again, hundreds of shops are so easy to open?"

Daiyu took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears on Xiangyun's face, and whispered a few words to him, Xiangyun's eyes immediately lit up and nodded heavily.

Immediately left Jia Cong behind, and pulled Yingchun, Tanchun and Baochai to whisper, and doubts and admiration were endless.

Xichun was busy eating fruits, and he couldn't bear these gold, silver, and the like, Jia Cong squeezed over to eavesdrop, but was gently pushed away by Daiyu.

"Don't, don't abandon me~"

"You are not allowed to listen to the whispers of our daughter's family!"

Daiyu raised the fan in her hand and fanned it in the direction of Jia Cong, and said a few words silently, and Jia Cong immediately understood.

Several people whispered and discussed lively, and Jia Cong suddenly hugged Xiao Xichun: "Sister Xi'er, let's go." People dislike our brothers and sisters, and my brother will take you to play with kites~"

Xiao Xichun showed two little tiger teeth and gave Jia Cong a critical blow: "Sister Xi'er is a group pet, so my sister won't dislike me." Only the third brother in this house is a man, so my sister only dislikes you."

After that, Xiao Xichun also raised his hand and touched Jia Cong's brain, with a pitiful look on his face: "But for the sake of the third brother who wants to make me a kite, I don't dislike you, third brother, I'll play with you!"

This kid ......

It's getting better and better!

The atmosphere in the capital became more and more depressing, and a few days ago, Lord Shoufu was angry and deposed the loyal king Liu Chen, including the concubine Zhen, and almost all of the dozens of civil and military officials attached to the Zhongxin royal palace were demoted and punished.

Although the Kong Lin case has not yet been thoroughly tried, every time an official involved in the case is found, it is like pulling out a radish and bringing out the mud, and several or even a dozen people are often pulled out.

Officials from various temples and yamen in the capital, Shandong, Henan, Liaodong, Nanzhili and other provinces were involved in the case.

In the past few days, official documents have been sent to the Ministry of Literature and Literature and the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, and many officials in the yamen have been arrested by the sudden dragon guards, and the yamen is almost paralyzed, and there is a shortage of people.

So the Ministry of Rites asked the cabinet to ask if it was going to open Enko in the coming year.

Qi Bohan looked at the etiquette at hand, and hesitated for a long time but didn't dare to directly approve it. Although he was on duty today, Wei Qinghe's strength that day really scared him.

"Someone, prepare the car, this pavilion is going to Wei Mansion to visit the Prime Minister!"

?Pass?? Referral ticket?
