Outside the window, the moonlight is just right. The Begonia flowers outside the house became more and more beautiful under the moonlight. Unfortunately, few people in the house fell asleep at ease.
A pretty girl asked An Ninglu, the youngest daughter of the official book Shangshu, and said, "Sister Ninglu, it's been five days, why haven't there been any signs of movement?" Throw them in this house and just eat and drink, nothing else. I don’t ask, I don’t know what it means.
An Ninglu was also anxious, but she was half-hearted: "I don't know this." Originally thought that the draft was in the palace, and her father had arranged it in advance, so she was relieved. Unexpectedly, he was sent to this beautiful house instead of entering the palace to stand for election. This procedure is completely different from the previous draft.
The show girl who asked the question was a bit regretful.
An Ninglu was lying on the bed, looking at the beautiful girl who was sleeping next to her with envy and disdain. I am envious of the other party who can still sleep so sweetly in such an environment, and I disdain it because I know that I can't choose it so I can be so peaceful.
After another ten days, Yuxi still did not move. Now not only those people who have girls running for the election can't stand it, even Yun Qing can't stand it anymore: "This pretty girl has been in Baihuayuan for almost half a month, have you forgotten it?"
Yuxi said funny: "Can I forget such a big thing?" She is not amnesia. Furthermore, even if she forgot, the people around her did not forget it!
"Then what are you doing with these children in Baihuayuan?" Hundreds of flowers are planted in Baihuayuan. When these flowers are in full bloom, it is like being in a sea of flowers.
Originally, Yuxi wanted to give this house to Liuer. But before she could say anything, Liuer said he wanted to live with Zaozao. Yuxi didn't say this, and then asked the gardener to plant all kinds of flowers on the empty space of the house. When I was free, I went to live there for a while, which was a relief.
Yuxi smiled and said: "See if they can stand it? It's only half a month, and eight people have already delivered news." Not all of the eight people's homes are in the capital. Some were handed to relatives, asking them to help inquire about the news.
Yun Qing said with a smile, "If it were me, it might not be able to bear it." Just waiting like this was really hard. He is impatient, and it is not his temper to wait.
"Those who are impatient, generally don't have a good temper." So these eight people were all brushed off.
Yun Qing thought it was too sloppy to get rid of the other party based on such a trivial matter as handing out news, "Let's look at it again!"
Yuxi shook his head and said, "Don't tell me Qihao, A Xuan and their future daughter-in-law don't say how calm their demands are, at least they must not be impatient and bad-tempered. I was the one who was affected in the end." Qi Hao's wife, let alone the future princess, doesn't have to think about the unsteadiness of her heart.
Yun Qing said with a hum, "This has been aired for half a month, is it almost the same?" It's not a problem to keep hanging. This matter should be resolved early.
Yu Xin said with a loud voice: "It will start tomorrow." This draft is divided into three stages, the first level of examination, the second level of learning rules, and the third level to show off talent.
Learning the rules lasted two months. Taking advantage of this period, it is enough to understand the xinxing of these girls. As for showing off his talents, Yuxi doesn't value it. But Brother Xuan wanted a daughter-in-law who was proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, so I'll show him a good look at that time.
After hearing that he had to take a test, Yun Qing asked, "What is the test? Make an essay?"
Yuxi said, "Almost."
Yun Qing was speechless. He only heard that the imperial examinations would do essays, but he hadn’t heard of choosing a daughter-in-law to do essays. However, he is not prepared to intervene in the draft. I complained in my heart, but didn't say a word on the face.
That night, the thirty-six show girls knew they were going to take an exam tomorrow, and they were still making a fuss.
Yin Jiajia, the daughter of Jing Zhaofu Fu Yin, heard the news, and said with a bitter expression to her roommate, Huang Siling, the eldest daughter of Shaoqing Taichang, "God, I want to make an essay? I will definitely hand in a blank paper by then. My father wants it. Knowing that I have handed in a blank paper, I will be killed when I go back." Yin Jiajia is Mrs. Yin's youngest child, so she is very beloved on weekdays, and she is reluctant to suffer a little bit. Although at the age of six, Yin Baipei asked her to study handwriting with a few older brothers. But because she was not interested in reading, she stopped recognizing all the characters in the Four Books and Five Classics.
After the draft decree was issued, Yin Baipei wanted to apply for exemption from the election, but was stopped by Mrs. Yin. Mrs. Yin knows herself well, she is absolutely impossible to be chosen for her own girl. The reason why she asked Yin Jiajia to run for the election was because she felt that she would take this opportunity to train Yin Jiajia. Of course, if you can get along with the future princess or princess, you will make a lot of money. Yin Jiajia was originally unwilling to run, but under the coercion and lure of Mrs. Yin, she made a spineless compromise.
Huang Siling smiled and said: "This is not an imperial examination. I guess it shouldn't be difficult. If you really can't, write what you know. Remember, the words must be written upright." Huang Siling Huang Siling's mother is a talented girl, and Huang Siling also likes to read books. However, the Huang family is not a publicist, so the outside world does not know that Huang Siling is a talented woman. Although she is a talented woman, she is not arrogant, on the contrary, she has a good temper.
Yin Jiajia said bitterly, "It can only be so."
As soon as the news came out, except for a handful of well-informed people, the others were all uneasy. Therefore, many people suffered from insomnia that night.
When they saw the exam questions, many people couldn't laugh or cry. Because this question is really weird, one of them asks if you know when you talk and when you walk. I also asked if you know how to make tofu, know a few ways, and then ask the process to come out
Of course, there are also more serious questions. For example, the last question is to let everyone express their views on the books "Nv Jie" and "The Analects of Women". Feel good, where is the good; feel bad, the reason for the bad.
Zaozuo got the test questions, and was so happy, he said to Liuer: "You actually want others to write when you talk and when you walk. What kind of questions are you asking, mother?"
Liu Er leaned on the bed and said weakly, "Sister, do you know when you talk and when you walk?"
"Of course I know, I started walking when I talked for ten months." She talked and walked quickly among her peers.
Liu Er said softly: "You know, it doesn't mean that all the show girls who are running for the election know about it. Besides, the mother must have a purpose for this question."
"In your mind, whatever your mother does is right and good." After speaking, Zaozao smiled: "But the last question is interesting."
After opening the stubble, Jujube couldn't stop: "If you want me to say, just list the "Nv Jie" books that poison women as banned books. Let it continue to spread, and I don't know how many women will be poisoned."
Liu Er disagreed with this and said: "The book "Nv Jie" is not good, but the book "The Analects of Women" has some merits."
Zao Zaohe said: "This "Nv Jie" and "The Analects of Confucius" are not about women's ignorance or virtue, such crazy words as married from the father at home, from the husband to the death from the son. What can such a book have? Why is it desirable?" This is all about treating a woman as a vassal rather than an independent individual. This is extremely unbearable for jujube.
Liu Er said sadly: "Sister, you read these two books first, and then come to discuss this issue with me."
Zaozao looked at Liu'er depressedly, and said, "You don't know, I hate reading books." Especially books like Nv Jie, she doesn't touch them.
The day before yesterday Liu'er began to feel sick, and vomited what he ate. In the past two days, her whole body is soft and weak. I feel uncomfortable, and my mood is naturally very bad: "Since you don't look at it, don't be fooling around here."
After speaking, Liu Er regretted it again: "Sister, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said such things."
Zaozao smiled and said, "I was just silly." She just chatted with Liu Er like a gossip, and she didn't care what criteria Yuxi chose for her concubine. As long as the future sister-in-laws have a normal mind, they will only have a good relationship with them, and absolutely dare not add to them.
A new bowl of noodles came in. Don't talk about beef, egg, and ham in this noodle, but only two or three cabbage floating on it.
Zaozao was dumbfounded: "How do you eat this?" This is the real clear noodle soup.
Liuer said bitterly, "This is it, I have to vomit after eating."
Zaozao said in disbelief, "Isn't it? You vomit when you eat this?"
Liu'er looked at Zaozao with a faint resentment: "Do you think it is you?" Zaozao eats everything when she is pregnant, even the fishiest fish. And if she smelled the fishy smell, she would even have to vomit out her internal organs. Growing up so big, never suffered such a big crime.
After eating half a bowl of noodles, Liuer began to vomit again. After vomiting, his face was green.
Zaozao patted Liu'er on the back, and said distressedly: "Or go back to the palace! When you arrive at the palace, maybe you won't be sick."
Seeing Liu'er hesitating, Zaozao said again: "If you don't say anything else, there is mother Bai and Aunt Tong, you can definitely eat." Anyway, she lives in the palace and feels very relieved.
Liu'er also wanted to return to the palace, but she was also afraid that Yuxi would be tired: "My mother now has to deal with government affairs and is busy with drafting. Didn't I enter the palace to add chaos to my mother!"
"You don't need my mother to take care of you, there are so many people in the palace!" After finishing speaking, Zaozao said: "If you are willing, I will enter the palace and talk to my mother later."
Liu Er thought for a while and said, "I have to discuss this matter with Axi to make a decision." If she goes to the palace to raise her baby, she hopes Feng Zhixi will go with him. I just don't know if Feng Zhixi wants to live in the palace.
This date expresses understanding. Husbands and wives, naturally they have to be discussed and discussed
While talking, I heard Youxin reply outside: "Princess, Grandma Jiang is here to visit you." The husband of a third-rank or above official can be called a madam, and Jiang Yizheng is now just a seventh-ranked young man. Officials, so people in Princess Mansion only call Qianqian as Jiang's grandmother.
The news of Liu'er's pregnancy was not announced, so Cui Qianqian was shocked when she saw Liu'er, who was pale-faced, "What's wrong?"
After knowing that Liu'er was ill, Qianqian said with a look of envy, "Second princess, congratulations!" She hadn't gotten pregnant for almost a year after she got married. Liu'er got pregnant only two months after getting married, so lucky. good.
