Chapter 625: Entering Beijing to Catch the Exam

On the twenty-second day of the first month, Shen Hongjun led an army of 200,000 from the capital and headed south. The emperor personally watched the generals go out on the expedition at Chengtianmen, and the people of the capital came out to see the excitement.

Yun Xue didn't send Shen Hongjun, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stand that kind of scene. So, Yun Xue stayed in the house and didn't go out, sitting on the wooden collapse in front of the window in a daze.

Yushu came in from outside, "Sister Yunxue, I'm here to accompany you." "She was diagnosed as pregnant just now, and Shen Zhong is now holding Yushu as if her eyes were hurting. It just so happened that Shen Zhong had to go to Yamen on an errand during the day, and Yushu stayed in the Hou Mansion, so that he could be a companion with Yun Xue and take care of each other, and Shen Zhong could rest assured.

Yun Xue looked up, saw Yushu, and hurriedly motioned for her to sit down. "What do you think now? Do you feel like throwing up in the morning? Every woman's reaction to pregnancy is different, looking at Yushu's face, it seems to be not bad.

Yushu shook her head, "I didn't vomit, and I didn't feel nauseous, but I suddenly felt dizzy that day, and then I looked for Lang Zhong and said that I had it." "There have been some times when Yushu married Shen Zhong, but now it can be regarded as there, and Yushu herself is very happy.

"That's good, this pregnant child is really the same person. Some people can't wait to spit out bitter bile, but there are few people like you who don't have to worry about it. Yun Xue looked at Yushu's complexion and was happy for Yushu in her heart.

"By the way, let's find some fabric and make clothes and quilts for the little doll. I have nothing to do when I am idle, and I don't have enough time to save it. Look at Meiyu and Yuchan at that time, good guys, no amount of clothes was enough to change. Yun Xue felt that it was boring to sit so idly, but it was better to find something to do, and save herself from always thinking crankily.

"Rulan, red silk, go and open the warehouse, find some muslin and thin silk of various colors, let's make some clothes for Yushu's little doll belly pocket or something." Yun Xue turned her head and said to the girl next to her.

Red Silk agreed, and immediately went out to look for it. The main reason is that Yun Xue has been in no energy this morning, just sitting there in a daze, and the girls are uncomfortable when they look at it. Now that Yun Xue herself said that she was going to make the clothes of a little doll, they were naturally happy to find things, as long as they could make Yun Xue forget about them.

The girls moved quickly, and after a short time they came in with several pieces of fabric. Yun Xue and Yushu began to divide which ones to make clothes and those to make quilts according to these fabrics.

There is something to do, Yunxue can still be happier, and a few people are talking and laughing, but it is also quite lively.

While he was laughing, a mother-in-law came in to report that she was from Uncle Zhongyong's mansion and took her aunt back to live. Yun Xue smiled when she heard this, "This must be Yun Ni's idea, I am afraid that I will be lonely in the Hou Mansion, so I want to take me back." Yushu, why don't you accompany me to live in Bofu for a while. ”

"It is said that there is a custom in the capital that after a woman is married for a month, she can go back to her parents' house to live for a period of time, which is called living for the moon. It just so happens that Yunni's family affairs should also be opened, so let's live over there. There are a lot of people, and it's also lively, and I always feel cold and panicked here. ”

Yushu doesn't care, anyway, she is idle at home and uncomfortable, Shen Zhong went to the yamen on an errand, and she had to come back in the afternoon. She is home alone, although there are also girls and mothers-in-law at home, it can't be compared to being with the Yunxue sisters. "Okay, then let's go over, there are a lot of people over there, and it's lively."

Since Yushu agreed, Yun Xue ordered someone to clean up quickly, and then everyone went out and went to Han's house by car.

Jinxiu had already led people to wait, and when she saw Yun Xue, she said, "I have cleaned up the yard where the eldest sister used to live, and the eldest sister is still living in the past." Originally, the things inside didn't move, and the eldest sister took a look, and spoke if there was something missing. "There are few adults in Bofu, so Yunxue's courtyard has been kept.

Yun Xue lived in her mother's house like this, Yushu came over during the day, Shen Zhong came back from the yamen in the afternoon, and went to Han's house for dinner, and then took Yushu home.

On the twenty-fifth day of the first month, the people of the Ministry of Rites came to Bofu to pay tribute. The procedure is almost the same as before, except that instead of geese, the Ministry of Rites sent all kinds of property as a dowry.

The royal dowry is naturally unusual, and there are all kinds of rare things, and a total of one hundred and sixty of them were sent to Bofu. Yun Zhen naturally greeted him respectfully, and then after the officials of the Ministry of Hospitality had a banquet in Bofu, they sent all the people in the future respectfully.

After everyone was sent away, everyone in the Han family breathed a sigh of relief. Yun Xue and Jinxiu looked at the gift list, and some of them were removed from the food and drink, and then they pondered adding some things to it as a dowry.

It stands to reason that Yunni is married to the royal family, and the dowry naturally does not need to be prepared by the Han family, and the Ministry of Rites will prepare the dowry in advance and send it to the Han family. But as Yunni's sister-in-law and sister, they still want to accompany Yunni with some dowry. That's what they have on their minds.

"Eldest sister, sister-in-law, you don't have to bother too much. These Yunlin will definitely be prepared, and they will be sent over one day. Yun Ni saw that her sister and sister-in-law were discussing making clothes and jewelry for herself, and hurriedly persuaded her.

"What Yunlin prepared, that was his intention. What we prepare is our mind, can it be the same? Okay, you don't have to worry about these things, from now on, rest in peace, raise yourself well, and be a bride with a red face. Yun Xue smiled.

Yun Ni's wedding dress was also prepared by the palace's sewing room, and Yun Ni didn't need to do it at all. And Yun Ni followed Yun Xue a few years ago and also did a lot of needlework, so there is really nothing to be busy with at this time. "Eldest sister, it's been more than a month and a half before getting married, I can't just do nothing, it's too uncomfortable to be so idle."

Yunni is also an idle person, and it is indeed a little difficult to let her do nothing all day long.

"What kind of reading, writing, and studying medicinal materials and medical books can't be done? Just don't get too tired. Fixed time every day, rest after the time, the main thing is to raise the spirit, this is the most important. Yun Xue remembered that before she got married, she had a good attitude, not impatient, and leisurely.

"Alright then, I'll try." Yunni also understands that getting married is a very tiring thing. From now on, you have to take care of your body, and then you will have the energy.

"Madam, just now my uncle asked someone to pass the word, saying that someone from the village is here, let Mrs. and my aunt go to see it together." A girl suddenly entered the room and said.

Yun Xue got married, and here in the capital, as long as she is a married girl and returns to her parents' home, her mother's family is called her aunt and grandmother. At first, Yunxue was not used to it, but now she is used to it, and she knows that people are talking about her.

"Someone from the village? At this time, who can come? Yun Ting hasn't arrived home yet. "Yunxue is a little strange. But since Yun Zhen asked the girl to pass the word, it means that this person should be familiar to them. "Let's go, let's see." Yun Xue didn't guess at all, got up and walked out.

Jinxiu and Yunni also followed and came to the living room in the front yard. I saw that in the living room, in addition to Yun Zhen and Shen Zhong, there was also a man, about ten years old, with a long body and a jade body, dressed as a scholar. That handsome and elegant appearance, which one is not Jiang Chengtao?

"Ah, Cheng Tao, why did you come to the capital?" Yun Xue was very surprised when she saw Jiang Chengtao, so she blurted out and asked.

"Sister Yunxue, I'm coming to the capital to take the exam. This year, I thought I'd give it a try. Jiang Chengtao looked at Yun Xue with a smile and said.

Seeing Yunxue again, Jiang Chengtao realized that he was afraid that he had been making some mistakes in the past few years. He admired Yun Xue's personality and pitied Yun Xue's situation, and then regarded these as the feelings of men and women. When he saw Yunxue today, his heart would not throb, just the joy of seeing his relatives. It turned out that I really made a mistake.

Looking at Yun Xue's radiant and glamorous appearance now, she knew that she was doing well, and Shen Hongjun must be very good to her. Knowing that Yunxue was doing well, Jiang Chengtao was still very happy.

"I just arrived in the capital today, and I asked for your address in the capital from the Qi family before, and I wanted to come and have a look. I didn't expect it to be so magnificent. If the people in our village saw this, they wouldn't be stupid? Today's Han family is soaring. ”

When Jiang Chengtao said these words, he was just happy for the Han family, but he didn't mean anything else. There is neither envy nor jealousy, nor inferiority and cowardice. His attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, which makes people sigh, this is the bearing of a scholar.

"You've only arrived today, but have you arranged a place to stay? If you haven't already, you might as well live here. There are many places here, and they are also clean, so you can just calm down and read your books. This year, there is Enko, I am afraid that students from all over the world will gather in Kyoto, and I am afraid that the inn will not be idle. Yun Zhen interjected at this time and invited Jiang Chengtao to live in the mansion.

Jiang Chengtao shook his head, "No need, I'm here just to take a look at you and Sister Yunxue, but I don't mean to go to the door." The place has been found, and it is in an inn not far from the Gongyuan, and it is okay there. ”

"I don't think you'll stay at the inn, the inn is mixed, and I don't know what will happen. Since you don't want to live here, why don't I arrange another place for you? It was a small idle courtyard, very secluded, with an old couple watching. You live there, no one disturbs you, you can read quietly. At this time, Yun Xue opened her mouth to persuade.

The courtyard that Yun Xue said was a place given to Yun Xue by Shen Hongjun, and the courtyard of Sanjin was very neat. The yard was unoccupied on weekdays, except for a couple who cleaned it. Jiang Chengtao is reluctant to live in the Han family, in fact, the Han family recently asked Zhang Luo Yunni's relatives, which is not suitable for him to live. But that small yard is more suitable.

"Cheng Tao, just do what the eldest sister said, don't go to the guest house. It's not peaceful in the inn, it's not appropriate. Yun Zhen also agreed with Yun Xue's proposal.

Jiang Chengtao looked at Yun Xue, and then smiled, "Okay, just listen to Sister Yun Xue." ”
