After the end of the year, the news of the defeat came, the news of the capital has always been more well-informed than the locality, when she was in Chuzhou in her previous life, the news was blocked, and she only knew that she had suffered defeat. In the end, I learned which countries I lost the war, and I had to be abducted and trafficked to the Yang family.

Liu Chengxu and others are naturally worried about the country and the people, scolding anyone for being too aggressive for a while, and suspecting that there are spies on the front line for a while, but the most important thing is to choose the princess and relatives this time.

"I heard that Wusun and Dawan are going to marry princesses and humiliate our Qi country."

"Our Daqi is the country of the Son of Heaven, and the saint has practiced Zuo for many years, and he has always been arrogant, but this time it is for me to send the princess and relatives, which is something that has never happened in the previous dynasty."

Even Liu Chengxu remembered Man Jianghong.

Xiao Fu made dishes for him on the table: "Master, will the court agree?" I heard that Tang Taizong married Princess Wencheng to Tubo, and now he is also choosing the daughter of the sect. ”

Liu Chengxu snorted coldly: "Dawan and Wusun want to be real princesses." ”

"A real princess? The emperor's current princess of the right age is only Princess Funing. Xiao Fu is also full of worries.

Although Liu Chengxu is now a third-grade official, Jiuqing Tingtui has nothing to do with him, so he had to say: "Those Fanbangs originally wanted real money, but now my Daqi is not the China of the Yuanyuan Alliance, and the emperor does not agree." In this way, they saw that they could not take advantage of it, so they agreed to marry the princess. ”

When Lishu heard this, she probably understood why Princess Funing wanted to marry Zheng Hao so suddenly, because others wanted her to marry her in person.

After breakfast, Liu Chengxu immediately went to the office.

Xiao Fu said to Lishu and Lirou: "Let's go and say hello to the old lady now, and then the two of you will go back to the room or read a book, or learn to be a female red." ”

Lishu and Lirou glanced at each other, not daring to delay.

Soon, Xiao Fu called Aunt Ding over: "Lirou's marriage should be hurried." You don't know that the master said today that Daqi was defeated, and even the real princess was going to get married, who knows if the daughters of our ministers will be affected. Lishu is okay, they will get married next month, Lirou is just this month, and I plan to let them get married as soon as possible. You are her biological mother, if you agree, I will go and tell the old lady, if you don't agree, just let me say a word in vain. ”

Although she doesn't like Aunt Ding very much, just like she did to Fu Shi back then, she knows that there is a debtor and a debtor, and Aunt Ding may have made some changes when Rao's mother and Aunt Su framed her, but the disaster is not good for her children, and Lirou didn't do anything.

Xiao Fu once remembered the tragic situation of pulling Zhuang Ding during the war, although it was not necessarily about the unmarried girl, but it was better to take precautions.

Of course, Aunt Ding is not stupid, her father is a county magistrate in Macheng all the year round, and her favorite child when she was a child is her, often holding her on her knees to tell stories, and the most she says is nothing more than that my dynasty recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun, leveled Mongolia, etc., but now, Daqi is no longer the Daqi of the past.

Even the real princess may be kissed, so what about the daughters of these ministers, even if the lord is likely not to agree, but in the end, the daughter is in danger.

But she didn't say that she agreed, but said: "The concubine is just an aunt, and Sister Rou's affairs have to worry about the wife." ”

Xiao Fu didn't bother to bother with her: "Well, then you go down first, I'll talk to the old lady." ”

As the saying goes, a leaf knows autumn, Lishu thought that Xiao Fu was really very keen, and she was immediately afraid that someone would come to the door

The girl of the Liu family married on behalf of her,

Quickly get married.

But Lishu obviously has something on her mind,

In her previous life, she was in Chuzhou, and she didn't have anything to trouble Zheng Hao, and in this life, Zheng Hao had to send someone to keep an eye on him, she was really worried that he wouldn't be able to pass the exam because of herself.

It's a fraction of a millimeter.

The examination was held in three sessions on the 9th, 12th, and 15th of February, which was a major event for the whole country, and Lishu knew that she could not go out now, so she personally went to Mrs. Liu's shrine to kowtow devoutly.

Strange to say, she herself does not believe in ghosts and gods, because she has always believed in asking God for divination, and it is better to make her own decisions. Chanting sutras and reciting Buddha is not as good as having the ability to do it.

But for Zheng Hao, for the first time, she hoped that what she wanted would come true.

Mrs. Liu thought that Lishu was worried that Zheng Hao would not be able to pass the exam, and quietly said to Wei's mother: "It's really an outgoing girl." ”

"Old lady, this is also human nature. Zheng Gongzi was also very attentive to the three girls, and the Lantern Festival knew that the three girls did not go out, so he sent lanterns over early in the morning. Mother Wei quipped.

Mrs. Liu smiled: "Yes, that's good!" ”

Xiao Fu got Aunt Ding's consent, and talked to Mrs. Liu about Lirou's marriage, and Mrs. Liu approved: "What you said is very true, the spring breeze has not moved the cicada." Since ancient times, eating and fighting wars is nothing more than giving away daughters, sending money, ceding land, and doing things early. ”

There are still people in the imperial city who are permeated with the sense that they have suffered defeat but are not a big deal, and they boast that the Son of Heaven will defeat the barbarians in the future. I don't take it to heart, but the people who are really in the vortex are already starting to get anxious.

Golden Cicada Palace

Princess Xiao Yaoguang of Funing raised her chin, she was still a little princess like a phoenix, she was a princess from the middle palace, she was very loved by her father, and regarded it as a pearl in her palm.

She likes to ride horses the most on weekdays, and Emperor Yongchu called this daughter "Female Zhong Yao Shun", saying that she has a bright and heroic temperament, and if she is a man, she will definitely pass the position to her.

But now Wusun Kingdom and Dawan Kingdom are asking to marry the real princess, and her eldest royal sister is only ten years old this year.

Only she, the same age.

But how could she go and kiss? And the princess has a few long-lived, how can she become someone else's plaything.

Fu Ning always thought that his father was the emperor and could do anything, but now he found that his father could not shelter her from the wind and rain.

"Princess, don't worry, the queen will definitely find a way for you." The palace people persuaded.

They knew that if the princess really went to make peace, they, the palace people, would definitely follow them to those places of Hulu, and what would happen to the princess of the defeated country was conceivable.

Another palace person echoed: "Yes, yes, there is also the Chi family." Besides, the emperor has always doted on you, the princess, and will definitely not let you go to kiss. ”

Princess Funing couldn't hold her breath in the end, and went to see the queen mother, the queen mother was still so virtuous, when she came over, the queen mother was telling the grandmothers of the East Palace.

Although the East Palace is not from the queen mother, and her body and bones are weak, the queen mother regards it as her own.

Queen Chi smiled when she saw her: "It's Chan'er who is here, come and sit here with the queen mother." Although the beginning of spring, but the spring is cold, why don't you put on the cloak, what if you catch a cold? ”

"Queen mother, daughter is ......" Princess Funing has a lot of words, a lot of fears to say to the queen mother.

Queen Chi knew what her daughter wanted to say.

But she was also very calm, because she expected that it would be impossible for the emperor to ask his daughter to really kiss, and if the real princess went to kiss, then she would lose all her face.

So she waited for the grandmothers in the East Palace to leave, and then Empress Chi said to Princess Funing: "You sit down, what are you doing with such grievances, your grievances should be seen by your father." ”

Princess Funing has been in the deep palace for a long time, of course, she knows that the people in the palace, including her own mother, will not speak too thoroughly, and the meaning will be done.

Yes, what is she sitting here with the queen mother, she should go and ask her father.

"Thank you for your advice."

Princess Funing said with a smile.

Empress Chi nodded slightly, and when the princess walked away, she said again: "Funing is only thirteen this year, the emperor told me last time to choose a reader, and the emperor has always liked these readers." This palace heard that Donghua is a good man, and this time if you implore Your Majesty to see the roll call in Xintai near Donghuatai, if you can make a marriage contract, it will be right to get married in three years. ”

The palace people thought that this might be because the queen wanted to marry as soon as possible, because the February test and the March palace test would be examined, and there was nothing better than a new scholar to inquire.

These people who can be admitted to the Jinshi are originally outstanding, and their fathers, ancestors, ages, and unmarried partners will be clearly written on their entry records, and they can be more promising than the nobles.

You must know that in the current war, even the guards can't be relied on, and most of them are salted from the southeast. Most of the nobles rely on the merit book to eat the old book, especially after a few generations, it is not as good as in the past.

And the Jinshi, who is young, is definitely good-looking, has a good family background, and at least has a very smart mind.

Empress Chi thought so.

Besides, there are not no clan lords who are close to each other, as long as it is a royal daughter, what does it matter.

Especially King Yun, who has been favored by the emperor for a long time, and is worshiped by the world, should contribute to the world, if it were not for His Majesty's magnanimity, how could Prince Yun's status be so high.

"Sister Song promised to be married to Prince Cheng's son, did you send your congratulatory gifts?" Empress Chi asked.

The palace man hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, this year's spring decree has just been issued, and the slave maid will bring the list to you." ”

"Hmm, thicken by 30%." Empress Chi now has to rely on her mother's family.

Yes, the person Xiao Yun was assigned to marry was the queen's niece Chi Song, this is the noble daughter of the noble girls in the capital, I heard that the zodiac is her aunt, beautiful and dignified, graceful and luxurious. Of course, there is gossip that Chi Song was the crown princess and failed, and it is very good to be able to marry Xiao Yun.

Although the Liu family has nothing to do with these two families, if you give a gift for this kind of happy event, people may not be able to remember it, but if you don't give it, it is not yours.

Lishu is helping Xiao Fu's housework, because there are too many things to do in the second room, and the old lady seems to have some opinions with the eldest aunt, and the housekeeping is back in the hands of Xiao Fu.

"Mother, what do you think of this list?" Lishu took it to Xiao Fu's eyes.

Xiao Fu nodded: "Yes, this newcomer has to be sent in pairs." ”

Lishu smiled: "I said the same too." ”

After the mother and daughter finished speaking, they saw Lirou coming over again, Xiao Fu threw an account book to Lirou to calculate, and taught her the key points of the palm feed, and said with a smile: "Your aunt also used to manage the house, I just told you a few words in vain." ”

Lirou knew that Xiao Fu's words were kind, and hurriedly said: "It's my blessing to be able to get some mention from my wife." ”

"You kid can talk, your sister is the same age as me, and now I'm going to let her get two rooms with you."

Xiao Fu smiled.

Lishu asked: "Mother, my fourth sister and I are going to be female celebrities, and we have to be housekeepers, are you so busy?" ”

"Then it's up to you, isn't it possible that you will go to your in-laws' house in the future, and you can do whatever you want? There are still relatives in the province in the morning and dusk, and maybe sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law to deal with, but they are not as quiet as you are at home. Xiao Fu knocked them both.

Of course, the days of being a girl are the best, and you can make a few colors of silk thread at home, which is filial piety, and others will praise you countless times for the sake of your father, and it will be different when you get married.

In the past, Xiao Fu thought that when she was young, no one taught her these things in her mother's family, so it was difficult to explore this road, and now Lijia and Liwan, who have been married, are not counted, and now Lishu and Lirou are married into the family, but if there is a little wrong, others think that the family has not taught well.

Lishu hurriedly responded, she had always maintained her mother's majesty outside: "Mother, my daughter must do a good job, please rest assured." ”

"I'm relieved when you say that." Xiao Fu was satisfied.

Lirou also knew that her wedding date was set for June, because April was the Qingming Festival, May was the Dragon Boat Festival, and July was the Midyear Festival. Rao has been picking this day for a long time, otherwise it will be August or later. According to Lirou's thoughts, of course she didn't want to go out in time, but I have to say that the court was defeated, and she didn't know what the future would be.

If something goes wrong halfway, the marriage is not harmonious, and she is unlucky.

In fact, Lirou knew that Liwan also had a reputation as a housekeeper in the Zeng family after she got married, especially during the Chinese New Year this year, I heard that the old lady of the Zeng family couldn't eat, so she made a few side dishes, and the old lady Zeng who served her was very comfortable.

Even the second Mrs. Zeng, who has always been picky, praised her for being very good at running the house, but all the housework at home was handed over to her in an orderly manner.

It is said that these are all taught to her by Mrs. Lirou on weekdays, and she has benefited a lot from Aunt Ding's teaching, as well as the guidance of the old lady, and now that Xiao Fu has asked her to actually practice, she is even more concerned.

Lishu is now in charge of the family's personal contacts, she has a very good memory, and she memorizes things quickly when she reads, even more so now. But whoever has dealings, she will soon be able to draw up a list, mother-in-law and mother-in-law come over, she has gone from being tired of socializing to being kind now, which is also Xiao Fu's requirement for her.

On weekdays, Xiao Fu felt that although her daughter knew everything, she was impatient with mundane affairs, but she was a clan woman, how could she be impatient with this, so she specially detained her.

Lishu is a person who learns something at the beginning, and may not really like it, but when she finds fun, she will find it very interesting and even enjoy it.

Especially from these gift lists, she can easily tell who her family is close to and who is the most general, which is very interesting. Moreover, this kind of personal exchange is also about knowing one's own family background. The Liu family is indeed the wealth accumulated for generations, of course, the Liu family is now the father and son are all officials in the court, so it is naturally not ordinary.

But it's hard to say about the next generation, which is why the father wants to marry his daughter to a scholar.

Everything is inferior, only the reading is high, even the second room of the Zeng family, if there is no long room and three rooms covered, then some silver money may not be able to protect it.

Originally, she was in charge of the porcelain room and patrolled the night, but now she is in charge of interpersonal relations and the needle workshop and garden

The child's expenses have to be done with the girls at night.

Lirou followed Xiao Fu to first talk about the clan women's sacrifice and the rules of weddings, funerals, and festivals on weekdays, and Xiao Fu said: "Your two sisters and I have learned all these things in office, and now only you have to learn these things, and it doesn't hurt if you have heard and done it with you." ”

Lirou's expression was a little complicated, because Xiao Fu had indeed done her duty as a mother-in-law, compared to Mrs. Xu's connivance with Lizhen, she was dedicated to teaching and did not hide her secrets.

Of course, Xiao Fu's doing this is not to let Lirou Liwan say good things, she has been a concubine herself, and she didn't originally crawl out of her wife's belly, so she was a dwarf. If you don't understand anything, you will be a dwarf in your mother-in-law's family, and only if you know these skills, you won't panic.

She also knows very well that just like she loves her children, this is not crawling out of her belly, and of course she will not be really close.

But the girls in the second room of the Liu family went out, but if one of them was not good, it made people suspect the Liu family's tutor.

In the midst of his busyness, Zheng Hao finished three exams, and I heard that he walked out very calmly, but after returning home, he slept for a full day before waking up. Fu Minglun of the Fu family also participated in the imperial examination, and in this life, Fu Minglun was married early, and there was no so-called entanglement with the people's daughters.

Both families are in-laws, and both have children, and Liu Chengxu took Xiao Fu to visit one or two in person.

There is no way, the eldest brother Liu Shujing is not very successful in reading, I heard that the family is preparing to marry a wife for him next year, the third brother Shuyi is good, but it is a pity that he prefers poetry and painting, but he does not work the eight shares.

This is also the fault of rich and noble families, and few people can eat the bitterness of studying.

Every year, there are 3,000 people, and only 300 people can be promoted to the jinshi, and it is even more difficult to get the jinshi. Those who can read it are the best. But not everyone can bear the hardships.

No matter how talented you are, you have to study hard and practice hard.

Lishu went to Mrs. Liu's Buddhist hall to worship again, and when she came out, even Lirou quipped: "Third sister, your sincerity has already moved the world, and the third brother-in-law of Ming'er is definitely in high school, so you can wait to be Mrs. Jinshi." ”

"I don't want to be Mrs. Jinshi, I'll be your sister, you don't dare to go west for the rest of your life, and now it's a day to be used." Lishu's mouth is also notoriously neat.

In fact, the relationship between her and Lirou has always been not far away, and now the two are in charge of the same family, and the relationship seems to be a little better than before.

Lirou pushed Lishu: "Third sister, go to the kitchen, I'll guard here." ”

"Okay."

Lishu was going to make some food and send it to the Zheng family in person, and now she won't be polite to Lirou, as soon as Lishu left, she saw Lizhen coming.

"Fourth sister, why haven't you seen her for a few days, but you have gotten along with her?" Lizhen pouted.

Lirou used to think that Lizhen said that everything was a good thing, but now she is tired of it, Lizhen is not young, she is always so vindictive, it is not the same thing, if it is good to marry low, it is difficult to say if you marry high.

In the kitchen, Lishu boiled a pot of abalone chicken soup, which was boiled in the chozi, and there were lean chicken, small muscles, abalone, and Jinhua ham, which was a great tonic, especially for people who had just survived the body.

She also made the best ghee abalone snails, and also made gold and silver clip flowers.

The gold and silver sandwich is to roll the dough into a dough first, and put crab roe and crab meat on it.

It is then rolled into a long roll of paper and cut into small pieces with a knife, causing yellow and white to intertwine, hence the name.

I made a small cake again, and made porridge with chicken and venison, which was delicious to make, and put some milk in the middle of the trick.

There were also a lot of secret pickles made by the Liu family in the food box, and after they were done, Lishu Teto asked Xiao Fu to send them over.

Xiao Fu smiled: "Reserved, reserved." ”

"I know, he made a special trip to send me lanterns, and I also reciprocated the favor!"

Lishu said.

Xiao Fu scratched her nose, knowing that she was busy going in and out like a butterfly today, so she didn't say much.

The meal was quickly delivered to the Zheng family, and it was sent by Danhong, who was already married, but was still on an errand by Xiao Fu's side. Mrs. Zheng was also very happy with the cool Danhong, and when she saw her coming to deliver the tonic soup, she said, "Yesterday, your old lady personally came to see our eldest brother, and now she has sent someone to send this over, which is really overwork." ”

Danhong smiled: "It was our three girls who made it, she is also busy these days, and I heard that the eldest son studied hard, so she cooked some soup." ”

"Yo, your girl's skills are very good, it just so happens that Brother Hao has a bitter mouth, I'll just let someone send it over." Mrs. Zheng agreed with a smile.

She doesn't know when she went, and the second child is weak, so she doesn't have the possessiveness of other mothers-in-law, so she doesn't have the feeling of being afraid that her daughter-in-law will please a little good.

On the contrary, she wished that her son and daughter-in-law would be harmonious and beautiful, and she was also relieved.

Zheng Hao is taking a nap on the recliner, he likes to be in the study, it is very quiet. He already knew that his father had the intention of retreating, and he was defeated in the battle on the front line, if he didn't go to the office early as soon as possible, and still loved the position of power, it would not be good to be dumped at that time.

Now that he has joined the office, his father is a member again, so the Zheng family can be regarded as having people from generation to generation.

Just thinking about it, Mrs. Zheng's maid sent a food box over, and she also joked with a smile, saying that it was made by Lishu, Zheng Hao heard it, and her heart warmed, but thinking that the two could not meet, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Mrs. Zheng's maid thought to herself whether the eldest son's expression was happy or unhappy, who said that a woman's heart is a needle, and a man's heart is also difficult to guess.

When the girl left, Zheng Hao opened the food box, he first twisted a ghee abalone snail in his mouth, felt sweet to the heart, and ate another bite of porridge, especially the pickles of the Liu family are notoriously well-made.

While eating, my cousin Li Tang came over again, and when he saw Zheng Hao eating in the study, he was very surprised: "My aunt said that you are the most picky on weekdays, and you are about to become an immortal, and it is rare to eat it all." ”

Zheng Hao's little servant knew that the young master was easy-going on weekdays, so he joked: "This is sent by the Liu family, it is our future young grandmother, and her skills are good." ”

"Yo, it turned out that it was sent by the Liu family, and your cousin-in-law hasn't seen her brother and sister yet? It seems that the younger siblings are so virtuous, which is indeed good. Li Tang squeezed his eyebrows.

Zheng Hao nodded: "Marry a wife and marry a virtuous man, you think I am you, I only care about my appearance." ”

Li Tang didn't sound right when he heard this, so it seems that the appearance of his future brother and sister is not very good, you must know that the appearance of his cousin is unmatched.

……

On the day of the release of the list, Zheng Hao was in the hall, he was a child of a family, quite social, and now his father was the biggest official in the province, but he had a good relationship with the lifters.

Even if there is no way to guarantee it, he has come forward to solve it.

"Fengzheng (),

? ()? [()]『Come[]? See the latest chapter? Full Chapter'(),

It's not good to solve the problem. A plainly dressed man said to Zheng Hao.

Zheng Hao patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Wei, you don't have to be discouraged, now that the ranking is not out, it's too early to say anything." If you go over Jingzhong in the future, I will also help you. ”

That move has actually been in the Beijing exam several times and failed, even the people in the hall dislike him, I didn't expect the dignified Xingyang Zheng family, the son of Lord Shangshu is a person who attaches great importance to the friendship of the country, treats people warmly, and does not have the slightest intention of looking down on him.

Of course, this does not mean that this Zheng Gongzi is very weak, he has seen with his own eyes what happens to those who offend Zheng Gongzi.

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, there was an official errand who ran a horse to report the news, and at this time, everyone calmed down, and even Zheng Hao, who was talking and laughing, stopped.

Lishu also gathered with her father, mother, grandfather and grandmother, of course, everyone was waiting for Zheng Hao's ranking, but they just behaved lightly.

I don't know why Mrs. Liu smiled: "Back then, the second middle school sergeant, we weren't so nervous?" ”

Lishu thought that it was because the old lady was the governor of Zuodu at that time, and it didn't matter if her father was a jinshi or not. It's just that later, the old lady had an accident, and Dad's Jinshi was effective.

I don't know if Zheng Hao was hit?

Hearing the hurried footsteps of the subordinates, Mrs. Liu got up suddenly, but it was to deliver tea, and Mrs. Liu pretended to think for a long time and sat down with her hands behind her back.

Seeing this, everyone said in their hearts, it seems that the old lady is not so calm as he imagined!

After a while, someone came over again, looking for Xiao Fu's family: "Mrs. Gu, the third young master of our family has won the ninth place." ”

Xiao Fu has no grudge against Fu Minglun, this child has not despised himself like the Fu family since he was a child, but respectfully called his aunt, and Lishu also said that Lun often sent new books to her.

The little Fu family here just watched the appreciation, and Mrs. Liu also said: "I already knew that Minglun was talented, and he really won it." ”

Lishu also said: "Cousin Minglun is indeed a great talent. ”

But Zheng Hao, she only knew that he was the champion in his previous life, but she would try to rank, she didn't know? And will things change because she was born again?

Just when she was anxious, she saw Danhong stumbling in.

"Our third aunt has won, and if he wins, he will try the first place. The Zheng family, the Zheng family picked up our old lady and old lady, the eldest lady and the second master and the second wife went to the Zheng family to eat and drink together. ”

Will try the first place! If the palace test is the first place, it will be a double yuan and the first, you must know that Zheng Hao is still so young.

Rao is Lishu knew that he had won the champion in his previous life, and now she heard that he was Huiyuan, no matter what the ranking of the palace examination was, now he was a sure jinshi, and she was also relieved.

Danhong quietly handed over another note, which read: "Thanks to your abalone stewed chicken soup." ”

Lishu guessed who it was by looking at the handwriting, but he didn't expect that he remembered to leave a note for himself in his busy schedule, and he didn't feel sweet in his heart!
