Zhou Duxin heard that he had passed the imperial examination and won the second place. The next day, Miao and Luo went to Prince Jin's mansion together to tell Jiang Changning the good news.
Yesterday, Prince Jin told Jiang Changning and praised the Zhou brothers highly.
"Let Third Brother rest assured and observe mourning. Don't worry about being appointed as an official, as we have the prince." Jiang Changning knew very well that after she married into the Prince of Jin's Mansion, the Zhou brothers, as former servants of the Jiang family, would be marked with the symbol of the Prince of Jin's Mansion in official circles.
Unless the Zhou brothers disregard their reputation and betray their old master.
"Xiu Lan, bring that jade sculpture here." Jiang Changning specially asked the Liu family to carve a jade sculpture of a cassia twig and a golden toad for Zhou Duxin.
After seeing off the Zhou family sisters-in-law, Xiulan and the others talked about the two young masters of the Zhuang family participating in the imperial examination. "I wonder what place the third and fourth young masters of the Zhuang family got?"
"After all, my brother didn't do as well as he did on Wednesday." Fangju said with a smile.
"My little brother got Yayuan on Wednesday. There was only one person who did better than him in the exam." Xiulan said with a smile.
Shu Fei smiled and said, "Wait, I'll go out and ask around, and come back to tell you."
This wait lasted for an hour.
When she came back and entered the house, Fu Cui said, "Those who know you know that you went out to inquire about things, and those who don't know would think that you went to take the imperial examination."
"Go to hell, I was just passing by Daofangzhai, and they launched new egg waffles, so I queued up and bought some for the princess to try." Shufei put the box in his hand on the table.
When I opened the box, a pleasant sweet fragrance wafted out.
"This pastry is round, like a ball. How does it look like an egg?" Fu Cui said with a pout.
"It doesn't matter whether it looks like an egg or not, as long as it tastes good. If you dislike it so much, don't eat it." Shu Fei pushed her away and stopped her from taking it.
"Why shouldn't I eat it? I'll eat it." Fu Cui went to grab it.
"You two stop making trouble. If you knock it over, you won't be able to eat it." Xiulan snatched the box and said, "Princess, please try it."
Jiang Changning took a piece of egg waffle and ate it. "It tastes good, full of chicken and milk flavor. Mother and Kang Ren should like it. Shu Fei, have someone buy some more."
"I bought five boxes." Shufei said with a smile.
"Shu Fei is becoming more and more experienced in her work." Jiang Changning praised with a smile, and asked the maid to deliver a box to the Concubine Dowager and Kang Ren, leaving one box for the Prince of Jin, "You can share the rest."
"Shufei, what about what you want to know?" Fu Cui did not forget the reason why Shufei went out.
"Young Master Zhuang is not on the list, but Young Master Zhuang is on the blue list." Shu Fei had nothing to hide.
The room was suddenly quiet for a moment. Fu Cui sneered twice and said, "The fourth young master Zhuang said that as long as he took the exam, he would be the first place in the exam. But he turned out to be like this. He almost failed the exam."
"What the princess said about him was absolutely right," said Xiulan.
The other three maids said in unison: "Although he has a good appearance, he is full of ruffians inside. He is poor and ignorant of worldly affairs, stupid and stubborn and afraid of reading. His behavior is eccentric and his personality is eccentric. He has no hope for his country or family."
"I wonder if he still admits the bet he made with his younger brother Zhou San?" Fang Ju said.
Fu Cui curled her lips and said, "Whether he admits it or not, he can't be appointed as an official."
"Not being able to get an official position is not the same as him being willing to admit defeat," said Shu Fei.
Fu Cui rolled her eyes and said, "The result is the same."
"After you eat the rice, you will become a rice field. Can you eat the rice field directly?" Shu Fei asked with a sly smile.
Fu Cui was stunned for a moment and shouted, "Shu Fei! When did you become so sloppy?"
He pounced on her and was about to scratch her.
"There's nothing I can do. Birds of a feather flock together. After being with you for so long, I've become sloppy." Shufei hid behind Xiulan.
Several maids started laughing and making noises, and the room was filled with a lively atmosphere.
In the evening, when Prince Jin returned home, Jiang Changning mentioned the bet between Zhou Duxin and Zhuang Jike while chatting with him.
"The Zhuang family has high expectations but low skills. The eldest brother of Zhuang even wanted to introduce the daughter of Duke Dai Jian to his son. Duke Dai Jian would definitely look down on her with her status."
"How do you know this?" Jiang Changning asked curiously.
Jiang Changning smiled and said, "I have a friend who told her husband that she wanted the moon. Her husband said it was easy, not difficult. Do you know how he did it?"
"On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, take a basin of water and place it under the moon."
"So asking a man for the moon is like asking him to fetch a basin of water. You can't pick the moon from the sky. This shows that men are not omnipotent."
"So you are waiting for me here." King Jin laughed, "You asked me for the moon, I will not just give you a basin of water."
Jiang Changning raised his eyebrows, "Your Majesty is very generous and gave me a pool of water."
"A pool of water is a big deal?"
Jiang Changning's eyes turned bright and she smiled, "A river with a bright moon and an autumn river. Your Majesty, are you going to take me on a boat trip?"
"If you want to take a boat trip, let's go now." Prince Jin was very excited and was about to take her out.
"I was just joking, Your Highness. Don't believe everything you hear." Jiang Changning sat down on the kang.
"I will take everything Ningning says seriously." Prince Jin sat beside her and held her in his arms.
Jiang Changning turned sideways and pecked him lightly on the lips, "I am the same."
In the darkness of the night, some couples are loving and sleeping on the same bed, while others are at loggerheads and sleeping in separate beds.
In the Ningxia Prince's Mansion, Song Yirou and the Ningxia Prince were in a standoff. After Song Yirou got married, she had been unwilling to sleep with the Ningxia Prince.
The King of Ningxia didn't care at first, but after drinking a little wine today and being provoked by someone, he impulsively wanted to have sex with Song Yirou.
Song Yirou was unwilling, and he was so angry that he said something irresponsible, "Are you keeping your virginity for Helian Yu?"
"So what? You can't touch me anyway." Song Yirou said proudly.
"You are already married to me, I can touch you as I please and do whatever I want to you." King Ningxia said as he rushed forward and tore Song Yirou's clothes.
Song Yirou struggled and refused to obey, "You beast, get out of here, get out of here, don't touch me."
"Helian Yu didn't like you before you got married. Now that you're married, Helian Yu despises you even less." King Ningxia panted.
Song Yirou was born into a military family, had a rough temperament, and had a tiger's strength, so she kicked hard.
The place where he kicked was quite subtle.
"Ah!" King Ningxia screamed, covering his injured part and shrinking into a shrimp shape, "You vicious woman."
"Humph!" Song Yirou snorted coldly, "See if you dare to make a move."
"I am going to divorce you, I am going to divorce you." King Ningxia gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his neck.
"If you have the ability, just write it, don't just talk about it." Song Yirou was fearless.
"You, you wait for me." King Ningxia endured the pain and walked out of the room.
The other couple who quarreled was Qin Zhaoxi and Xie Baoyin. Qin Zhaoxi came back drunk and woke up Xie Baoyin who had already gone to bed, "Get up and serve me."
The strong smell of alcohol on his body irritated Xie Baoyin, and she vomited with a "wow".
Qin Zhaoxi's expression changed drastically, "You actually dislike me to this extent?"
Xie Baoyin was upset and didn't explain immediately. Qin Zhaoxi just thought she agreed and said, "Then I won't bother you here."
After saying that, he strode out.
Seeing the angry Qin Zhaoxi, the maids did not dare to stop him and let him walk into the night.
The back of my hand hurts so much while I'm on the IV! ! ! !
