279. The Fourteenth Tour of the Imperial City

The He family really did not expect to see He Han in the imperial capital. They were all happy to see He Han being taller and stronger than before. They were wearing armor and a heroic appearance. After all, there was nothing wrong with He Han, and it was no wonder that He Han had the previous incident.

The main reason is that the third girl and Hu Wen are in harmony. Although the third girl did not become a wife of a hundred households, the third girl said that the third girl's life is also a good life, especially Hu Wen has a temper, which is in line with the temperament of He's personality.

As for the affairs of the Baihu, hey, the third girl and son have given birth to them. Even though Mrs. He regrets, he no longer thinks about it.

He Han chose a time to take a turn to buy some snacks and went to the He family to visit. He knew about He Han's affairs in Beijing Pass. He Gong looked very happy and asked him to go to the study to speak alone. As soon as he entered the study, He Gong shook his face and said, "The saint said that if your parents are here, you will not travel far away. If you insist on going out, your parents will not refuse, but you should always send a letter to your family and ask your parents to know." He Han lowered his head and said in a word.

Fortunately, He Han was also old, and he said, "I was a little nervous at first, but later, I was born and died in Beijing Pass. I thought that I might be gone at some point and sent a letter to my family. They knew that I was in Beijing Pass. If there was a bad day, they would make them feel sad again. It would be better if I didn't deliver the letter, they would feel that I was outside and would go back one day."

"Silly thoughts, how could you think like this?" He Gong said, "As parents, even if there are some rumors about children, they are willing to know. There are people saying that you are in the prefecture and your father has been looking for you several times, but there is no trace. In recent years, you have been born and died in Beijing Pass, so how can your parents be happy? Even if your mother is a little confused at the beginning, it is because she loves you too much. You are the eldest son, with parents above and two sisters below." He Han's eyes were slightly red and he asked with sobs, "Uncle Gong, don't you know if my family is good?"

He Gong didn't coax the words, and just told him truthfully, "Since you left, your father has grown a lot, and Brother Nian is only two years older than me. Now it looks like he is ten years older than me, and his hair is gray. Your mother rarely goes out. Your sisters are old now, and you don't have you at home. They are very sensible. Peipei has reached the age of hiding, and your father dares not marry her far away, for fear that she will marry her far away, and that she will have no brothers at home, and will be bullied by her in-laws in the future."

He Han's tears came down.

Who says men don’t cry easily? Men and women are the same. When encountering sad and sad things, the tear glands will automatically secrete liquid, allowing us to express our emotions. He Han cried for a while and sobbed, "Uncle Gong, stop talking, I will ask someone to bring a letter to my house."

He Gong said, "That's how you understand. If you want to fight for the future, your family will not drag you down, but you have to ask your family to know, don't worry about your family."

He Han agreed.

He Gong asked him again that the marriage was settled, and He Han whispered, "At Beijing Pass, a comrade entrusted my sister to me, and we had a marriage."

He Gong said, "Do you have children?"

He Handao, "I gave birth to a boy."

He Gong was very happy and smiled, "Have your wife come to the imperial capital with you?"

He Handao, "No, I am the general's personal guard chief. Last year, I came to the imperial capital to report my duties with the general. This year, I will also go back to Beijing Pass with the general. Her wife and children are young, so she didn't ask her to come because she was afraid of running around on the road."

He Gong was a meticulous person and asked again, "Where can anyone take care of him in Beijing Pass?"

He Han said, "I have an old mother and a girl at home, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law, so don't worry."

He Gong asked the child again how old he was and what kind of origin was this woman. He Han answered one by one. Seeing that He Han also had a wife and a child in Beijing Pass, He Gong was happy for him and smiled, "I am a man." He also said, "Your aunt and others are thinking about you, go over and talk to them."

He Han stood up and wanted to go to the inner house with He Gong. He asked embarrassedly, "Uncle Gong, the third sister..."

"The third girl got married, and she was talking about the Hu family in our county, and now she has a son."

He Han was obviously relieved, and He Gong laughed, "Think about it now, for some children, where is it worth running away from home."

He Han said seriously, "I'm not just for the sake of me and my third sister. Uncle Gong, maybe I shouldn't say this. Everyone says that there are all parents in the world. But I want me to respect my parents, that's nothing! But I! I am an individual! I can't treat me as an object! My mother may think that the girl in that family has a lot of dowry, and I'll be happy when she gets married. I'm not like that. I want to marry my wife because of the dowry. What am I going to marry me? Whoever gives me a lot of dowry, will I sell me by pounding?"

He Gong sighed and patted his shoulder, "Who is wrong? But everyone in the family is closest to blood. You know in your heart that you are a man, and I won't worry about you in the future. It's your mother, you just think she's confused. She has used the wrong method and done the wrong thing and can correct it if she passes by mistake. It's great that she can do it."

He Gong laughed and said, "Uncle Gong is still good at reasoning like this."

He Gong glared at him, "That's the reason."

The He family was very happy to see He Han. He Lie often played with He Han when he was a child, and they were very close. He also asked He Han about the war in Beijing Pass, which was a bit eager to try. He Han smiled and said, "I can be the chief guard of the general and be a hundred households. In addition to martial arts, the big reason is that I have studied for a few years and can recognize words. There are many brothers in the army who do not recognize words. I recognized words and I first joined the army, and I was also a copying and copying of the food and grass arranged for me. Otherwise, I don’t know anything and hit the army head-on, and there is no life now."

Shen taught A Lie, "No matter how good your brother Ahan said, you have to study hard. Have you heard it?"

When meeting tribe members in the imperial capital, it means meeting relatives. Furthermore, He Han and the third girl have married each other, and no one mentioned the past. He Han asked him to just treat the He family as his own and come over when he takes a break. Don't come to the imperial capital without even a place to go.

He Han was also very happy. The two families were not only members of the tribe, but also neighbors for many years. Although the relationship was broken by He Han’s mother, He’s representative, He’s mother, was very clear. She hated He Han’s mother from beginning to end! He saw that He Han was still very intimate, and felt that the children in his family dared to go out so far, and now they have an official position. Although the official position is not very high, he is also the most promising person in the tribe.

When He Han said goodbye, Mrs. He brought him many specialties from his hometown, such as dried bamboo shoots, kimchi, sauce meat and pickles. He Han took them back and ate them with his colleagues, which would help enhance the relationship between colleagues. He also specifically reminded him that if there was anything, just the housekeeper would come!

He Han responded, his eyes turned red again, and he returned to the general's mansion with a large bag of small bags.

Mrs. He said to Shen, "I feel relieved when I see Ahan and know that he has married a wife and given birth to a son. Although his dead mother hates it, Ahan's child is not good! He just didn't join him when he was reincarnated, and met the wife of Wang, and missed the child."

Shen advised, "As long as Ahan is good, that's it. Ahan's mother has had a hard time in the past few years."

Old Madam He was dissatisfied with sympathy and even said sarcastic words, "That's worthy, it's all done by herself!"

Shen reluctantly laughed and helped her mother-in-law into the house. The wind was still cold in the middle of February.

After seeing off He Han, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law began to discuss going to the mountain to burn incense and worship Buddha. After all, the spring exam is approaching.

Shen said, "The Buddha is going to worship, and there is another thing. Now it is mid-February, so I'll take Aluo and the others to the house. Don't live in Wendaotang. Come home and take care of yourself for a few days, and it's time to end up."

Old Madam He immediately said, "This is very good. Before we come, the clan leader and sister-in-law have entrusted Alor to us."

Shen said, "I'll go over and discuss with A Xuan's mother. I'll send a car tomorrow. I'll ask Xiao Fuzi Cui'er to clean the room where A Luo and the others lived before. The bedding will be sung, which will be easy to use."

He Zijin interrupted, "There are also test boxes for exams and bedding during exams, so you must prepare in advance."

The He family has passed the imperial examination for the juren. The spring examination is similar to the juren, and the things prepared are similar. Shen said, "Your father and A Nian are here, and you bring them together. Just use them. I borrow A Luo and the others to ask. If there is no preparation, prepare for them in advance. We must prepare the food we brought during the spring examination, and we must prepare it."

He Zijin said, "It's easy, I'm there."

Mrs. He said, "I will ask Madam Yu to pay ten taels of silver later, and then I will take it to the temple to burn incense."

He Zijin was quite surprised and smiled, "Grandma is so generous."

Mrs. He disdained this flattery and said, "I am reluctant to spend money when it's time to spend money! Especially the money above is not missing!" Mrs. He is indeed generous in burning incense and worshiping Buddha. But now his family is better, and it's a big deal, so he's quite generous. However, Mrs. He looked at his girl and said, "Why don't you take some money to burn a Jinshi incense for A Nian?"

He Zijin almost didn't ask her grandmother to choke and asked in a daze, "Can you burn these ten taels of silver for my father, and you don't have the share of A Nian!!!???"

He Zijin's lifelong surprise was in this sentence, and Old Madam He looked like a natural look, "You keep A Nian's money, what's wrong with you? A girl, don't be stingy! This is a serious matter! Don't just know that holding the money and forgetting to offer sacrifices to the Buddha. If A Nian's future is delayed, your blessing will be gone!"

He Zijin held his forehead and said, "What's the point! I'll take twenty taels of silver to burn Jinshi incense!" At the end of his words, he looked rich and generous, which shocked Mrs. He. He was very good at settle accounts. He clapped his hands and laughed, and said to Shen with a smile, "Girl said, she gave twenty taels, plus my ten taels, this is thirty taels, which is enough to burn incense for their father-in-law and son-in-law!"

He also danced and said to Shen Shi, "It's rare to ask an iron rooster to pluck his feathers." After calculating his own girl's film for twenty taels of silver, Mrs. He was very happy.

He Zijin smiled angrily, "I'm going to pay for money when I say I'm a rooster!"

Old Madam He immediately glared at her, "How can you regret your words? You spit out a nail and don't regret it! Hand over the silver immediately!"

"I'm fine, can I carry two pounds of silver on my body!"

"I don't bother with the silver bill." On the silver bill, Mrs. He was easy to talk to.

He Zijin said, "I think there is no need to spend thirty taels to burn incense. Two or three taels is enough. The remaining ones are enough to buy meat and eat it for a month."

When Mrs. He heard this, he immediately looked stern, feeling that the girl's movies are not serious, and he scolded, "What do you know? The spring exam is not a trivial matter! It is better not to eat meat for a year than to prepare the silver for burning incense! People say that they are sincere and they must be sincere, so that the Buddha can bless you. A dead girl, don't talk nonsense! This is the only family background in our family, and no matter how much it is, they can't take it out. My former neighbor, Maggie, took out a hundred taels to offer sacrifices to the Buddha!"

He Zijin felt very strange, "Didn't he say his family is very poor?"

Old Madam He bulged her mouth and said disdainfully, "I heard that his family has made a family marriage for a girl in her family. The man's family sent a betrothal gift, and the money was spacious."

Speaking of the Mei family, He Zijin was curious again, "He doesn't like to visit other families. It's because there are happy events at home. Even if the girl at home gets engaged, she should have a few small wines. It's also lively when she waits for neighbors. Why didn't she hear the letter?"

Shen sighed, "I've asked your aunt too. Your aunt said that the Mei family is used to this. Lord Mei is a person who is unworldly. He feels elegant when he enjoys the wind and the moon. He holds wine and feasts, and feels noisy."

He Zijin:...What kind of neighbor is this!

Mrs. He was a straightforward person and said disdainfully, "It's better than our countrymen. Even our countrymen are a little bit shameful and are not greedy for their daughter's dowry!" Although the Mei family paid 100 taels of silver to burn Jinshi incense for their children, Mrs. He was not envious at all when she thought that the money she had obtained from selling her daughter!

Speaking of the Mei family, Jiang also said, "There are so many rare things in his family. If he is born in his family, it would be fine if his mother says something, otherwise, I really don't know what will happen in the future."

Such a weird person, Mrs. He said, "As for his family who does not accumulate virtue on weekdays, they just burn a hundred taels of silver incense. If the Buddha has eyes, he cannot win his boy!"

Mr. Chen actually wanted to pay for the incense of Jinshi, but Mrs. He had his own principles and said that this incense of Jinshi must not ask for other people's money, but he needed his own money to show his heart.

Moreover, since He Zijin promised twenty taels of silver this day, Mrs. He asked for the account after chasing her butt. He Zijin wanted to pay a debt, but Mrs. He asked for the account**, so she couldn't give it to her!"

He Luo and his men moved to He Shen's two families. They were preparing for the exam for several years in the imperial capital, so they naturally prepared almost all the things they had to prepare before the exam. In addition to the food being prepared by the He family, for example, the dried lotus root powder, eight treasure fried noodles, rice cakes and pancakes, which can be eaten by boiling or hot. The dishes include chopped pickles, diced sauce meat, and dried vegetables from the Shen family. They can be eaten by boiling and swaying with water.

Both families have experience, so they are prepared properly.

On the day of the show, we were going to queue up in the early morning. Both families got up early, and He Han came here to take the exam. When he came, he saw the He family, everyone was wearing red. He Han was a little confused and said, "Why are you wearing red today?"

A Lie said, "Goodie! This is how we wore my father and Brother A Nian took the Juren last time! My father and Brother A Nian's big trousers were all red, and my grandmother said to ward off evil spirits!"

Mrs. He said to a very experienced person, "That's what you said! So many people take the exam every year, but only one or two of them win. So many people cannot win. The Gongyuan area is easy to accumulate resentment. Therefore, they wear red and avoid resentment! The luck is also strong!"

When He Han saw that, sure enough, all the juren who were about to take the exam were all in red.

He Zijin got up very early today, and she wanted to get up early to make porridge. When the porridge was ready, all kinds of side dishes were prepared. My mother He looked very serious and blushed. She sat down in the dining room and said to A Luo and a few other students, "My dad, my father, has been taking the exam for several years. But last year, our family gave me the exam, and we made porridge in the morning! His father, A Nian, each of us drank two bowls of bowls before the exam, wow! This porridge is amazing! When they drink two of their father-in-law and son-in-law, hey! When they arrive at the tribute court, they are really good at making porridge! One is Jie Yuan and the other is thirty-two! Tell me! This is not all the credit for porridge! If we weren't all fellow villagers today, you really can't eat this porridge! Come on! You can eat two bowls of raw and you will definitely win!"

He Zijin almost laughed, but obviously, these candidates who were about to attend the venue needed encouragement from these words. They took two bowls per person, and then, after eating full food, they carried the examination box, carried the bedding, and the tribute bucket, and rushed to the tribute court!

In fact, Mrs. He wanted to take the exam like she was in the prefecture last year. As a result, there were too many people and there were not enough carriages to sit, so she had to give up. She told me that she would send the children to the gate and put them on the bus until the carriage drove out of the alley. Mrs. He took the whole family back to the house.

He Han was very good at comforting people and said, "Grandma Third, don't worry. A few days ago, I went to the temple to ask for a visa, which was for Uncle Gong and A Nian and A Luo, and I'm here to sign it!"

After hearing this, Old Madam He was very energetic and asked, "What did the sign say?"

He Handao, "If you forget your ambitions in this life, you will have a natural result. The signing will be a success afterwards will make you a success. Isn't it a good sign for the best?"

Old lady He was overjoyed and clapped her hands and said, "This sign is good!" She also left He Han to drink porridge at home.

He Han was not polite. After tasting the He family's Jidi porridge, he praised He Zijin's good skills and said with a smile, "My sister Zijin was very good at cooking when she was a child. She hasn't seen her for several years and has cooked better. Although this porridge is meaty, it does not smell a bit of meat. She only feels fragrant and tastes good, and is not greasy."

Mrs. He immediately felt vanity and said modestly, "You guys are just the ability to do this. However, no one who has eaten this porridge has said that it is not delicious."

He Zijin rolled his eyes when he heard this, and He Han almost burst into laughter.

Mrs. He also said, "Don't laugh now. Wait until Uncle Gong and A Nian are over, sometimes they laugh."

Brother Jun immediately said, "Zhong!"

Mrs. He was very happy and praised Brother Jun, "My good grandson! The child's eyes and mind are so good!"

Anyway, since He Gong'a Nian went to the Spring Examination, Mrs. He has been doing everything like last year and autumn. Not only did she have to eat the first meal at home, but everyone was not allowed to speak bad words. Moreover, even if the servant responded, she could not say "yes", but she had to say "Zhong!" instead.

Under the mysterious aura of Old Niang He, He Zijin received another summons from the palace, and the one who came was the Cowherd of the Internal Affairs Office. He Zijin had no choice but to change his clothes and go into the palace with the Cowherd.
