In early May, Hongbo went to participate in the assessment of the guard camp.
On the day of the exam, Chen Muqing was very worried.
Although he tried his best to conceal his emotions in front of the elders, the Prince You's Mansion, except for the younger brother Min, are all human beings. How can you not see her anxiety and anxiety.
Qiyou smiled and said: "For people like us, it is icing on the cake to be admitted to the guard camp. If you fail to pass the test, there is no hindrance." With the friendship between Hongbo and Honglang, Hongbo will definitely become a humerus as long as he works hard to enter. Of the minister. But he knew this in his heart, but he wouldn't say it.
Huang Siling smiled and said: "Your grandfather is right. In fact, it is not difficult for Hongbo to enter the Imperial Forest Army, but he wants to pass the exam through his own efforts." With his own strength, he will have confidence in his words and actions in the future.
Chen Muqing smiled and said, "Grandfather and grandmother, I believe that my husband will be able to take the test." As a wife, she must unconditionally support her husband who believes in her. But in my heart, I was still a little worried.
Qiyou smiled and said, "You can think like this, okay."
Yun Xu was also very happy to hear this: "Don't worry, I asked my aunt, she said that as long as there are no accidents, Hongbo will definitely be able to take the test." During the test, there will be various accidents. However, this probability is small.
Chen Muqing smiled and said, "That's good."
The exam lasted for three days, and Hong Po came back after the exam.
Chen Muqing didn't dare to ask him how he did in the exam, but only concerned: "Are you hungry? I'll let the kitchen bring the food." Knowing that Hong Po was back today, Han Jingjing pinched some of the dishes that Hong Po liked to eat in the kitchen. Now, these dishes are all warmed in the pot!
Hong Po asked all the maids to go out, and then put Chen Muqing in his arms: "Daughter-in-law, I want to die."
The newlyweds have been separated for more than two months, so how can they not want to contact me by letter for such a long time!
Seeing that Chen Muqing didn't say anything, Hong Po was dissatisfied: "Daughter-in-law, do you miss me? Daughter-in-law, don't you miss me at all?"
Chen Muqing is just more restrained and embarrassed to say such nasty words. But under the persecution of Hong Po, she still blushed and said: "My child and I think about you every day."
Hong Po was satisfied now, and sat down to put Chen Muqing in his arms, and stretched out his hand to gently stroke his swollen belly.
Chen Muqing leaned on Hongpo's shoulder and asked softly, "Is it very hard during this time?"
Hong Po is not a person who reports good news but not bad news: "It was still bitter to eat Coptis at the beginning. You don't know how ruthless it was to return to my aunt, but it was not dawn and let me run with a load. I went to bed at night and even had time to breathe. No. When I was sleeping, I was asked to help with sandbags. At that time, I was so tired that I didn't even want to die.
Chen Muqing's heart tightened: "My husband, you have worked hard." I heard that the children of the meritorious family can be in a high position without suffering. Now it seems that the person who said this is not narrow-minded or shallow-insighted. If you want to be in a high position and become everyone, which one is not through wind and rain.
Hongbo said cheerfully: "When I can't stand it, I miss you and my child, and then I have unlimited motivation." In fact, it will be exhausted and become a dog. There is no time to think about these things. Of course, this is not all to make Chen Muqing happy. He is suffering now, and he also wants to be a good example for his son.
Of course, it was Hongbo who wanted to waste the date halfway and would not allow it. Otherwise, he will be killed.
Chen Muqing asked: "These days, you can take a good rest at home!"
Hong Po smiled and said: "Tomorrow we will enter the palace to visit my great-grandparents and great-grandmother, and we will go to Tongzhou to visit his mother-in-law the next day." After this period of devil training, his physical fitness was much stronger before. Even if I was tired to death the day before, I woke up again after a nap.
Chen Muqing wanted to go to Tongzhou, but it was not convenient for him to have a big belly.
Hong Po said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of. My aunt is pregnant and she is still riding a horse! At that time, we will walk slowly."
Chen Muqing was a little moved, but she still had scruples: "Daddy and mother, they know they will be unhappy."
Hong Po laughed and said: "Since my little dad taught me that the man-man is asking for a promise. I promised you before that I will take you to visit your mother-in-law in Tongzhou after the exam. Grandmother and dad know that they will definitely not object."
Before dinner, Hongbo, Qiyou and others said they were going to Tongzhou. Not only Qiyou and Yun Xu are not opposed, but Han Jingjing also agrees.
Han Jingjing smiled and said, "My mother-in-law is in Tongzhou alone, and you didn't visit him in the first month. This is also the right way to go." The main reason is that Tongzhou is also three days away from the capital, and the road is easy. If not, she would definitely object.
Chen Muqing was so moved that she stood up and choked up and said, "Thank you, grandfather, grandmother, and parents." She actually missed her mother in Tongzhou, but she didn't dare to speak out because of her status as a wife and daughter-in-law. Unexpectedly, the husband's family members are so reasonable.
Huang Siling smiled and said, "You kid, the family said that they would like to thank that stranger."
Han Jingjing also smiled and joked: "Quickly stop crying, otherwise the child will cry too much in the future, but it's troublesome."
Chen Muqing hurriedly closed her tears.
On the second day, Hong Po took Chen Muqing into the palace to visit Yun Qing and Yuxi.
Yun Qing looked at Chen Muqing's pointed belly and said with a big smile: "This must be a kid."
Afraid of burdening Chen Muqing, Yuxi hurriedly smiled and said, "There are too few girls in our family, and it's rare to be a girl." There are indeed not many girls from the Yun family. There are a lot of sons.
Yun Qing thought about Zao Zao, and said unhappily: "We have cultivated girls to become talents, but in the end they made it cheaper for other people's homes."
Yuxi smiled: "Your two daughters and four sons, do you think you are taking advantage or losing?"
Yun Qing said nothing.
Chen Muqing found it funny listening to the conversation between the two, and smiled secretly with her mouth pursed.
Yuxi asked Hongpo: "Is it sure to take the test this time?"
Hongpo said confidently: "The exam must be no problem, I don't know if I can get into the top three."
When Yuxi heard this, he nodded in relief and said, "I don't have to worry about you anymore." Because Qiyou doted on the child, Hong Po and Brother Hui were not the same. Both Yun Qing and Yuxi were worried about this. Now that Hongbo is a talent, she has nothing to worry about anymore.
Hearing this, Hong Po was grateful and guilty: "Great-grandmother, we have been worrying you all these years."
"Raising a child is a hundred years old, and I have a long worry about ninety-nine. In the future, you will understand." I always say no matter what, in fact, I don't want to care about trivial things. Yuxi will still take care of major events.
After leaving the palace, Chen Muqing said: "Great-grandfather and great-grandmother are really good." Not only is the relationship good, but also good for children and grandchildren.
Hong Po said with a hum, "Our great-grandmother's contribution to our family's harmony."
Thinking of the bad things about her family, Chen Muqing sighed. It was originally the home of a century-old scholarly family, because her grandmother made it smoggy.
Upon seeing this, Hong Po said: "My great-grandmother often said that when you marry a wife, you should marry a virtuous man, and a virtuous wife, a prosperous wife, a prosperous son and grandchildren, is a curse for three generations."
Chen Muqing nodded heavily.
On the third day that the young couple went to Tongzhou, the assessment results of the guard camp came out.
Qiyou heard that Hongpo had taken the fourth exam, and asked in disbelief: "Really is fourth, you are not mistaken?" It was not that he was not confident in Hongpo, but that the candidates were all elites selected from the barracks. And Hong Po, who was afraid of hardship and tired since he was a child, has also been in the military for a year. Then, he was trained by his elder sister for three months. This result really exceeded his expectations.
Yun Xu smiled and said, "Father, Hong Po really took the fourth exam." He didn't even take the exam when he tried. Now that his son has passed the fourth exam, it really makes him face.
Qiyou was also overjoyed: "You prepare a great gift and personally send it to the princess mansion to thank your aunt."
Yun Xu and Han Jingjing went to the Grand Princess' Mansion and brought back a letter.
Yun Xu handed the thick letter to Qiyou, and said with a strange expression: "Father, this is the aunt who asked us to pass it on to you." I don't know what the letter is written in, it is so thick.
Qiyou opened it and saw it was a long list. The noodles are all kinds of medicinal materials, and the weight and price are listed behind each medicinal material.
After a glance, Qiyou looked directly at the bottom. See below it is written, a total of 18,000 taels.
Upon seeing this, Yun Xu understood, and hurriedly asked: "Father, the medicinal materials for Hongpo's medicinal bath are not made by our family?" He thought Qiyou had given the money early.
Qiyou touched his beard and smiled and said, "I'm not busy, I forgot. Tomorrow, I will give the money to your aunt and grandmother."
On the second day, Qiyou gave Zao Zao a huge silver bill of one hundred thousand taels.
Zaozao shook his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I can't find such a big denomination."
Qiyou said boldly: "Sister, don't look for it. The rest of the money should be your brother's money for buying alcohol."
Zaozao is not polite with Qiyou, anyway, this guy is rich and powerful: "It just so happened that I was short of money recently, and I will accept your wine money."
Qiyou didn't ask why Zaozao was short of money, but asked, "Sister, should I lend you another 100,000?"
In the end, it is a wealthy person, and one opening is one hundred thousand. Of course, if other people want him to borrow money, he will not borrow.
Zaozao shook his head and said, "No."
Hongpo knew that he had passed the fourth exam in Tongzhou, and was a little disappointed: "I thought I could get into the top three!"
"The fourth is already very good." Anyway, it was a surprise to Chen Muqing. Her husband is so good, people in the Chen family will not dare to say that she is married to a dude in the future.
Mrs. Chen was also very happy: "Bo Yuan tried the first two months of the case, and now you have taken the fourth place. It is really a double happiness." She has always believed that Hongpo is excellent, and now it proves that her judgment is correct.
Hongpo said modestly: "With Boyuan's talents, I will definitely be able to get a top pick in the future."
Mrs. Chen smiled and said: "There are so many talented people in the world, you can't say such a big thing. When he is off, I am satisfied to be able to take the top ten." She never put pressure on Chen Huanzhang, and talked to Chen Huanzhang about the scientific expedition. It just made him do his best.
