Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, spring is only two days away. Zhulan is waiting for her son to come home. As soon as Changzhong comes back, she comes to the main courtyard and asks, "Mom, do you have anything to do with your son?"
"I heard that you went to see Mr. Gu?"
Chang Zhong understood, "Master Gu is in good health."
Zhulan didn't know whether she was regretful or lucky. Anyway, she felt complicated and muttered, "I'm smarter this time."
Chang Zhong laughed, "It's true that there are two times over and over again, but there is no such thing as three."
"Ming Jia and the others go to the academy on time every day, but you are the only one who spends three days fishing and two days drying nets, and you even claim to come back with a top score. Is this your attitude?"
Chang Zhong blinked, "Mother, my son knows what he is doing."
Zhulan also said that this child was indeed a good one. Every time Shuren took the exam, he would tell her when he came back that his son was good at learning and "don't be proud."
Chang Zhong agreed. Although he did not go to the academy, he still learned a lot. He saw many kinds of candidates, which was also a test for himself.
In the courtyard of the fourth room, Yu Wen was reading a book. The girl who was close to her came in and whispered: "Mr. Gu, please be well."
Yuwen didn't reply and the girl stepped aside.
When Su Xuan came in, she saw her daughter reading quietly. She walked over and sat down, "You are like me but not like me. Are you not in a hurry?"
When she chased her husband, she was deeply afraid that he would be robbed, so she was worried!
Yuwen put down the book and asked, "What are you worried about?"
Su Xuan didn't believe that her daughter couldn't understand, "Mom, I heard that several families have fallen in love with Mr. Gu and are just waiting to be named on the gold list."
Yuwen picked up the book and said, "If the nomination is taken away, he will be taken away."
Su Xuan was stunned, "Daughter, tell me, what do you think?"
She saw that her daughter was careless in everything, but she finally fell in love with one, and this is the result
Yuwen raised her head and said, "Mr. Gu has a good face."
Su Xuan held her breath in her heart, "I don't care anymore."
Yuwen said yes, and Su Xuan left angrily. Yuwen chuckled and her mother couldn't help teasing her more and more. She didn't believe that her mother would not care about it. She should still care about it.
Spring arrived in the blink of an eye, which delayed the day. The snow had melted and it was impossible to write without holding a pen without freezing. Chang Zhong personally sent Jiang Du and Mu Fan to the examination room on behalf of the Hou family.
There were more candidates from the south this year. Chang Zhong and his nephew went in to find Mingrui.
Mingrui was talking to Shangguan Liu when Chang Zhong asked, "Master Shangguan, aren't you going to line up?"
Shangguan Liu said, "The location has been arranged anyway, no need to worry."
Chang Zhongxin said that the location of the examination room is very important. For Shangguan Liu, there is no need to worry about the location. For some people, it depends on luck.
One after another, all the candidates entered the examination room, and the door would not be opened until the day was closed.
Chang Zhong said: "Go home together?"
Mingrui shook his head, "I'm going to the Lin Mansion to get something for my wife. My uncle can go back first."
Changzhong thought of his mother's fate, "You will be a father in a few days."
Mingrui's eyes were soft, yes, he was going to be a father.
Changzhong thought of men and women, "Do you like boys or girls?"
Mingrui answered simply, "Boys and girls are fine. I want a daughter for my first child."
The second brother is not in a hurry to have his first grandchild. Like his eldest brother, he will bloom first and bear fruit later.
Chang Zhong smiled and said, "You and Lin Qing are both good-looking. Your two daughters must be great beauties. When they grow up, I don't know which one will take advantage of me."
Mingrui's expression turned bad, "It's better for my son."
Changzhong, "..."
During the Spring Festival, a lot of gambling games were set up in the capital, and they were waiting for the Spring Festival to end and the results to be released. Before the Spring Festival was over, the news that Su Xuan sent people to inquire about was sent to the capital.
After hearing this, Zhulan called her fourth daughter-in-law, "How do you find out?"
Su Xuan, "Mom, you are also paying attention."
"Um."
Su Xuan smiled and said, "The information I inquired is consistent with what I told you. Mr. Gu's room was separated early. After his grandma passed away, Mr. Gu no longer has any contact with his uncles."
He paused and said, "Especially after the separation of the family, they were serving in the military. Uncle Gu Sheng's third son died on the battlefield, but Gu Sheng's brother came back alive, and they even broke off contact. Gu Sheng won the imperial examination and did not ease the relationship."
Zhulan asked, "Where are the other relatives?"
Su Xuan continued: "We don't have many relatives, and our mother-in-law lost contact early. Gu Sheng got together after he passed the imperial examination. Because of filial piety, we didn't have much contact, and there was some unpleasantness because of Gu Sheng's brother's marriage."
Zhulan calculated, so the two brothers were indeed dependent on each other. Gu Sheng had no ties in his hometown, and he had much less trouble than many noble sons from poor families.
Su Xuan stopped talking, and Zhulan asked, "Is there anything else?"
Su Xuan, "I've checked. Several families are looking at Mr. Gu. I don't know whose son-in-law Mr. Gu has become."
Zhulan thought about Yuwen. Yuwen did not make any move, so she only asked a few questions. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other. Come on, they became more active.
In a blink of an eye, spring was over and waiting for the results to be released, several famous young men were mentioned one after another.
As the days of waiting continued, Yuwen was invited to the palace by the eldest princess, along with Linxi.
Linxi was dressed in red and had a whip tied around her waist. Yuwen pointed at the whip and said, "What are you doing with the whip?"
Linxi smiled and said, "I promise to show the Queen to the palace again and show her the whip."
Yuwen, "I really didn't expect you to have the talent for martial arts."
Linxi hugged her cousin's arm, "I was surprised too. I saw that my father hired a master to teach my younger brother. I was just curious. Who would have thought that I would fall in love with him."
Yuwen thought of Linxi's marriage and chuckled, "My cousin should live freely."
Her cousin had more capital than she did. She raised her hand and touched the whip, feeling a little moved. Finally, she took her hand back. Forget it, she just lay down and felt comfortable.
The two of them saw the eldest princess, who was in the pavilion. They greeted each other, and Zhen Yue smiled and said, "Come here and sit down."
As soon as Yuwen entered the pavilion, she saw the portrait on the stone table and glanced at it. It looked good!
Zhenyue motioned to the palace maid to collect the portrait, "This was just sent by my father."
Linxi, "Isn't it true that the results haven't been released yet?"
Zhen Yuesu made tea with her hands, "It's only been two days."
Seeing the princess's indifferent expression, Yuwen lamented that the princess was still living without her freedom. Apparently the princess also knew that she was neither sad nor happy to simply appreciate the portrait.
Linxi doesn't talk much either. She won't rely on the favor of Grandma Huang and Grandpa Huang to talk too much. The princess's marriage is not simple.
Zhenyue continued: "The princess mansion was selected the day before yesterday, and construction can start in the summer."
Yuwen was surprised, "So fast?"
Zhenyue explained, "There is no rush to complete it. It will take several years to build it slowly."
While he was talking, the maid came to report that the emperor and the prince were coming. While he was talking, he had already seen the emperor and the prince.
Yuwen came into the palace to thank the emperor for his kindness, and Linxi often came into the palace, not to mention Zhenyue, the emperor's daughter. The three of them greeted each other calmly.
The emperor unexpectedly met Linxi and Anhe. He would never ask about his daughter. He could just take care of her and keep her "flat."
Zhenyue stepped forward and explained, "My daughter doesn't know many people well, except Linxi and An He, so I invited them to come into the palace to talk to my daughter."
The emperor didn't see the portrait, so he put it away. He came over to ask his daughter who she thought was better, but he couldn't ask now. He saw the whip on Linxi's waist, "I heard that you practiced martial arts. I didn't believe it. I saw the whip. I believe it." ”
Linxi touched the whip and said, "My niece has learned a little bit."
An hour later, the news came out from the palace that Princess Linxi and County Master Anhe had received the emperor's reward. For a moment, their eyes were fixed on County Master Anhe again.
