Chapter 426

Brother Jun packed up and delivered a ceremony in just five or six days, and went to the imperial capital. A Nian laughed, "This is really positive to pursue his wife."

He Zijin smiled, "If this matter is not active, what else can you do? Don't look at Brother Jun'er's stubbornness, he is anxious. Otherwise, he can run to the imperial capital so quickly. It's a pity that he was calm before and didn't show any slightest expression."

A Nian smiled, "Do not reveal your mouth? I see Brother Jun'er's affairs." If it weren't for some connotation, A Lie wouldn't have sent someone to send a message.

"Whether it goes well, my grandmother must burn incense again." He Zijin broke apricot and gave it to A Nian half. He took a bite and said with a sweet mouth. He Zijin said, "I'll calculate it for her. The money she spent on this incense silver is ten taels this year."

"There is something to do this year. Isn't Xing Ge'er a scholar exam? I will spend more money next year. This year, it's just my grandmother burns incense, and next year, my third sister and Aqi will have to burn it together." After all, Xing Ge'er's scholar exam went smoothly and decided to continue the Juren exam next year. Next year, Dabao Erlang will be the scholar exam.

He Zijin said, "Actually, Dabao is older than Brother Xing. If you don't say Dabao's article is good, I think Dabao's will end this year."

"The child Dabao is full of energy. Since A Lie, although the imperial examination has been successful, no one has won the case. Jun Ge'er is the best and won the second place. Dabao's article is very close. He put the scholar's test until next year, and he went to the case for the case." A Nian knew the homework of several children, and of course, he also had a considerable understanding of the children's temperament.

"This year's exam is different? Is it because I'm afraid that Brother Xing would be so bad that Brother Xing said, "Brother Xing is not that kind of person."

"Hing Ge'er is nothing, just because she is afraid that villains outside will talk too much." A Nian said, "Besides, A Lie and the others cannot get the case head, but there are actually reasons why their father-in-law is an official. Generally speaking, if the rules in the imperial examination are not big, the case head will be given to poor families."

"There is still such a saying?"

A Nian nodded, and He Zijin immediately thought of her own, "Then we A Ye will not get the case for the scientific examination in the future?"

"This also requires that the two test papers have different standards. First, I will pick up the poor children. If one is obviously very outstanding and the other is slightly inferior, the examiner will not be so cluttered." When the two of them said that when they went to the examination, He Zijin asked A Nian's thirty birthday. A Nian didn't think about it, and He Zijin advised him, "The promotion wine will not be served. If the wine for this birthday banquet is not served, it will make people wonder if there is any problem with your censor?"

A Nian smiled and said, "Successfully, just follow the birthday wine of my sister two years ago. It will be enough to make a grand show."

He Zijin responded with a smile.

A Nian's official made a smooth journey, his birthday wine, governor Li, Su Tanzheng and others came. He Han and Yao Jie, who were far away in Beijing Pass, also specially ordered people to send birthday gifts, and the other one was Zhuangdian Shi Shao Juren from Shahe County. Because they were not busy, they all came in person.

Mrs. Zhuang also came with her eldest grandson. Zhuang Xiaolang was young and could recite some basic books. Her breasts were so cute. He Zijin ordered someone to give him a golden lock, and Mrs. Zhuang received it with great gratitude. She is also a rich wife now, and her family will not lose gold and silver, but this is the golden lock given by the wife of the inspector. What is the same? Mrs. Zhuang felt decent, and Zhuang Xiaolang was a little younger than the twins. He Zijin asked the twins to take him to play.

Mrs. Zhuang was very proud of this Changsun and said to He Zijin quietly, "My daughter-in-law was originally from a scholar's family. My grandson will go to school in one's life. I thought that my grandson must have inherited the literary spirit of my scholar's family."

He Zijin smiled and said, "That's good, isn't it just right for you?"

Mrs. Zhuang has curved eyebrows and is very proud.

Mrs. Duan also came to congratulate her in person, but this time it was the birthday of Censor Jiang. Mrs. Duan was not as restless as Zijin's birthday. She just showed her face and went to do business again.

Several relatives of the families have come here, and Mrs. He feels deeply glorious. Her grandson-in-law is a high-ranking official, and she has been flattered countless times! She feels so happy when she thinks about it. What's wrong with everyone calling her Lao An? Her pleasant edict has just not yet come down!

However, taking advantage of the 30th birthday of the Censor Jiang, Mrs. He was really honored.

A Nian and He Zijin seized the opportunity to train the children. In addition to the twins, Sanbao, Sanlang is still young, and the two treasures of Chongyang, Erlang, all brought them out to help outside and met people. Even Brother Jun went to the imperial capital first, and prepared a birthday gift for his brother-in-law in advance. A Xi followed her mother to arrange for the inner house. At this time, the third girl He Qi would say, "We have too few girls in our family."

Fortunately, although there are few girls, there are those who marry their daughter-in-law early in Chongyang who can come to help you with a plan. Gong Yuan had long recognized He Zijin as her godmother, and it was even more legitimate to do it. She was smart and capable, especially in such a day, she was really a big shot. He Qi praised the third girl several times in private, and the third girl felt a gleam on her face.

In short, when He Zijin was still the wife of the prefect, her birthday was very lively. Moreover, A Nian has now been promoted to the Censorate, so she has to add an update to the lively words. In the words of the twins, "Entering children is so tired that they hurt their waists." I don't know what the entertainment of children has to do with their waists. Besides, a little brat, do you have a waist!

Whether he has a waist or not? After the father's birthday banquet, the twins asked their mother to help them massage. He Zijin and his butt were all the way and the two of them ran happily to play.

After A Nian's birthday, He Zijin's belly still didn't move this year. Old Mother He even said to his daughter-in-law, "It seems that the girl looks like you, and she is the life of three sons and one daughter."

Shen smiled and said, "Three sons and one daughter are already prosperous. In Beichang Mansion, who doesn't say that our Zijin is blessed, and there are twins and twins, whoever likes them." As he said, Shen thought of something and smiled, "Mrs. Zheng, the former son, secretly asked me about Aye's marriage."

"A Ye is only twelve now, it's too early." Old lady He suddenly woke up, "Is Mrs. Zheng trying to tell her granddaughter to A Ye?"

"Impossible." Shen smiled, "Not to mention the Zheng family's family, it's the temperament of Mrs. Zheng, and she doesn't have a kiss. I think she just asked casually. To put it, A Nian was born well, and I think A Ye is more handsome than A Nian when she was young."

"Isn't that? The president of Aye, who is specialized in choosing the beautiful places of his parents." Mrs. He was a little proud of his grandson's appearance, and Mrs. He said, "You said Alie doesn't have a daughter, and our girl has no movement. Otherwise, how good is it to be a bride?"

The strange mother-in-law talked about her daughter's belly, and it turned out that it was because of this. Shen smiled and agreed to her mother-in-law, "Who said no?" The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking homely. Shen couldn't help but think of her second son who was far away in the imperial capital, "Don't you know how Brother Jun is?"

Mrs. He is now very confident and said, "No need to say, Brother Jun's appearance, body, and temperament. As long as he has vision, no one doesn't like him." She practiced a sentence with practice, and children are their own good.

Compared with mother-in-law, Shen was not so optimistic. The Du family was a member of the Dali Temple Minister. Old Niang He saw his wife's concerns and said to his wife, "I have inquired a long time ago. The Dali Temple Minister is a third-rank official. We are also from the fourth-rank official. If we are promoted to two levels, we will be the third-rank official." Because the grandson-in-law is from the fourth-rank official, Old Niang is a high-rank official, so she doesn't even realize that the third-rank official is an unattainable family.

"This foreign official is different from the officials in the imperial capital." Shen said, "If a third-rank official in the foreign official arrives in the imperial capital, he may not even be able to get a third-rank official."

"Huh? What's the point? Are they all the different ones?" Old Madam He didn't understand.

Shen said, "I also heard from A Lie's father, where is the official in the imperial capital?

After saying this, Mrs. He was not at ease, but Mrs. He had an idea, "We will go to the temple to burn incense for Brother Jun tomorrow, and work harder. If it really doesn't work, I will pay ten taels of silver to help me divine it." Why does Mrs. He always tend to burn incense first and then divine it? In fact, He Zijin's hexagram is quite expensive, and he needs ten taels of silver to divine it.

Ten taels of silver!

How could she bear it!

Therefore, it is a very important matter. Old Lady He will take the money and ask He Zijin to help Bu Yibu.

Fortunately, before Mrs. He lost money this time, Brother Jun asked someone to send the letter back. After reading it, Shen was overjoyed. The letter said that the Du family had agreed to the marriage, and A Lie was lucky enough to help prepare for the engagement ceremony.

When Shen said this, the whole family was happy.

Brother Xing said, "I'll go and say something to my sister!"

Shen laughed, "You say it first, it's late tonight, I'll ask your sister's house to speak tomorrow."

Brother Xing responded and rode his horse to his sister's house. He Zijin took his family back to his parents' house in the evening that day and asked about Brother Jun'er's marriage. On the same day, the family had dinner at his parents' house. Shen smiled and said, "It was because your father was too sensible. He wrote a letter of marriage in advance and told Brother Jun that if the Du family was willing, he would take out the letter and ask your uncle to send it with A Nian to show his solemnity. If the other person doesn't want to, don't mention it again." As he said, Mrs. Shen's eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy. She smiled and handed the letter from Brother Jun and Du Siqing to her daughter and son-in-law, saying, "It seems that Brother Jun is still successful."

"It's done." He Zijin was also happy for his younger brother. He read the letter from Ten Travels a day and said with a smile, "A Nian said first, Brother Jun was so anxious to go to the imperial capital. This is a matter of eight or nine.

Shen said, "He has settled his marriage. If he looks down on Brother Xing'er's wife, I will let go of my heart for the rest of my life."

"How can I let go? I'll worry about my son and grandson." He Zijin joked about her mother and asked about Brother Jun's engagement. Shen said, "We can't get through this far away. Fortunately, your grandfather and uncle are in the imperial capital. Your grandmother said that he asked someone to bring 3,000 silvers to him. You can ask your uncle to help you buy a betrothal gift for Brother Jun. There is no hurry at the moment. The Du girl is young, and Brother Jun also needs to prepare for the spring exam in the next year. It's not too late to get married after the spring exam. You'll have to pass the six rituals first."

He Zijin said, "Mom, when will you bring something? Tell me, I have something for Brother Jun."

Shen responded in one breath.

Everyone was very happy about Brother Jun’er’s marriage.

The main reason is that Lord Du has a very good official reputation and is famous in the capital of the whole emperor. Chen Su also specifically mentioned this in his letter. After all, He Gong was also an orthodox Hanlin family. Although he started out as a poor family, compared with the official clan like the Yu family, He Gong still prefers a poor family with a pure and honest official reputation like Lord Du.

He Qi was deeply touched by Jun Ge'er's marriage and said to her husband in private, "Jun Ge'er's marriage is understandable. As long as you teach your child well, you are not afraid of no good marriage."

Well, the wife insisted on finding a scholarly family for her son, which made Jiang Ren dare not mention his eldest son's marriage now.

In fact, Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, was originally a little anxious about Dabao's marriage, but He Qi was so amazing. Not only did she convince her husband, she even convinced her parents-in-law and grandmother. He Qi said that at least when Dabao became a scholar, she would discuss the marriage again.

According to the third girl, He Qi, who was always frugal, not only went to the Manjushu Bodhisattva in the temple to burn incense, but also donated fifty taels of incense and oil money for the trial of Dabao. Well, the third girl always said that He Qi was also a big deal to donate silver to the temple herself. So now, the monks and aunts in the temples were as intimate as they saw their sisters. Perhaps because of sincerity, the scholarship was the second year, and Dabao lived up to his expectations and won the case. Even Erlang also got the tail of the student, and the third girl felt very proud. It was nothing more. Although Erlang was not as good as Dabao in the exam, Erlang was very young.

This happy event is also a bunch of people. Before the happy event of Erlang's examination for the first time in Dabao, Gong Yuan came to the hospital and was pregnant. The horse was happy in Chongyang and didn't even bother to ride. She first ran to the grandfather's He family to report the good news, and then to the aunt's house. Finally, she went to Aren's uncle's house, and her legs were sore. Jiang Ren said, "Don't even look at Dabao Erlang's examination for scholars, he was not as good as Chongyang in terms of branches and leaves."

Chongyang laughed, "I'm the eldest brother."

When his wife was pregnant, she still mysteriously looked for Aunt Zijin in private on Chongyang, wanting to ask her aunt to help him calculate whether her wife's belly was a girl or a boy. He Zijin said, "I can't tell you that you are young, and you still prefer boys over girls?"

"I am wronged and wronged, how can I prefer boys over girls?" Chongyang refused to admit it. He said, "I just want to have the first son."

This is not a boyish preference!

He Zijin ignored him, but the third girl was looking forward to her daughter-in-law giving birth to a little granddaughter. The third girl said, "I have never seen my daughter in my life, so I expect Ayuan to give birth to a smart little granddaughter for me."

Gong Yuan saw through Chongyang and smiled, "My husband is looking forward to his son so much, so he took a whole piece of paper, all of which are boys' names." The third girl laughed, "Don't pay attention to him, the children are all God's will, our family lacks a daughter."

Mrs. Gong understood her son-in-law very well and said to her daughter, "Sir, you are safe, and you have a son-in-law."

Gong Yuan said angrily, "It's not that I only gave birth to one, but the first child is the difference between a daughter and a son!" She is always with her son, is she under pressure?

Mrs. Gong wanted her daughter to be pregnant, but she was afraid that she would get angry, so she quickly coaxed her and coaxed her. However, she gave her son a few incense sticks and made a wish in the temple, hoping that her daughter would give birth to a grandson for her.

Gong Yuan’s main task is to maintain her fetus. Fortunately, she has always been healthy, so she doesn’t have to be big fish and meat after she has a body. But she is worried about Double Ninth Festival, so she bought delicious food for her wife. Gong Yuan can’t eat so much. Everyone says that her husband, “The second brother said that the autumn examination will end, and the third brother is also at the age of studying, and she has her parents. You should send it to her parents for food first.”

"I've already sent it, and the second and third brothers have a share." Chongyang likes to watch his wife eat it. Gong Yuan takes a few bites and then stops eating it. Then Chongyang is wrapped all into his stomach. So Gong Yuan, who has a body, doesn't see fat, but Chongyang actually grows a double chin.

Dabao said Double Ninth Festival, "You are really the good son-in-law of Mr. Gong, and you look more and more like you."

Chongyang is the age of being so beautiful. He rolled his eyes and said, "Go to study quickly! Don't just take the exam first. It's not a few days before the storm, but the autumn exam failed!"

"You don't want to recite good scriptures for me!"

"Reciting scriptures is useful, I will recite it to you when I see the sky!" Chongyang was really worried that he would grow into his father-in-law's round appearance. After looking in the mirror, he was very clear and slim for several days. Until autumn, Chongyang helped several people prepare the autumn examination utensils. He Zijin was booked in advance to make the utensils porridge, and there were gold medals to bless the fortune, each one. Early in the morning, the scholars had eaten the utensils porridge, so the servants carried the examination boxes and sent them to the tribute school in person.

Gong Yuan also asked her husband privately, "Why do you have to cook this porridge?"

Chongyang said, "Auntie is blessed with magic power, and this porridge will work." After talking about Aunt He's ability to divine, Gong Yuan said, "I heard people say it before, and I think it's a rumor."

"Of course it's not a rumor. I heard from my mother that when my aunt was a child, those who asked her to divine money had to line up in advance." Chongyang put his hand on his wife's belly, waiting for her son's fetal movement in the morning, and said, "However, my aunt doesn't like people saying that she can divine money now, otherwise those who have a good or bad person will ask her aunt for good or bad luck. If you don't know, it will be done, don't talk about it."

"I know."

But this time, my aunt's porridge won't be able to win every hit.

After the autumn examination came out, Xing Ge'er's Dabao was on the list, while Erlang failed.

In fact, this is also expected. Xing Ge'er Dabao is a solid article. Erlang is young, so he will have a good experience this time. After Zigongyuan came out, Dabao was still sick for a few days. The main reason is that Dabao can't cook, so he cooked a porridge for nine days in the Gongyuan. He almost burned his hands. He had eaten dry food, so it was hard for him to win the imperial examination. He was so blessed by God. Xing Ge'er also said to him, "Let you practice cooking and cooking porridge in advance, but you don't practice it. Look, in a cold day, eating dry food for several days, good people will be uncomfortable."

Erlang also disliked Brother Dabao, "Next year will be the spring exam. If you are good, you should learn to cook." Otherwise, what's wrong with this spring exam?

Dabao has always been aware of it. He leaned against a soft couch and leaned against a brocade pillow and covered with an embroidered quilt, saying, "Master Luo said that I am still reluctant to go to the spring exam. I will not enter the court after three years."

Erlang calculated, "Then I can work with you when I finish the autumn examination."

Brother Xing also plans to hone his skills for another three years.

Another person who won the exam this time was Gao Chen, the leader of the case of the Shangshen. Gao Chen was originally a famous young talent in Beichang Prefecture. It has made countless people feel sorry for the failure of the autumn examination of the Shangshen exam. This time, it was famous and attracted much attention. However, what made A Nian pay attention to Gao Chen was that Gao Chen did something, and he asked a matchmaker to propose to the Gong family to marry the second girl Gong.

The rich man in the palace was happy and almost responded on the spot.

However, Gong Qianzhu is also a man of a mature spirit. He has been in the world for many years. A young juren like Gao Chen can go to the Shuxiang Sect in Fucheng to find a marriage. Why would he come to his house to propose marriage? It is a monster that is abnormal? Gong Qianzhu discussed with his wife and couldn't discuss it for a reason. Gong Qianzhu said, "You think it's because our Ayuan has a good marriage."
