It was getting late, and Aunt Qin got up and left after chatting with Qiao Wei for a few words. Before leaving, she told Qiao Wei about the quota with the dean. The dean thought about it for one night and gave an answer tomorrow. Go to the door, turn around and go back to the house.
Ji Mingxiu had already finished his bath and was sitting at the table, writing something with a pen, his expression not very good.
Qiao Wei knew that he was still angry with his younger brother. It wasn't a day or two before that guy planned to escape, and he ran several times on the way back, but he was caught every time, and he didn't cause any serious trouble. The man was abducted into a bogus wine shop and a real brothel. If he hadn't run into meditation, he didn't know what would happen to him.
"Uncle came here just now?" Ji Mingxiu asked.
Qiao Wei said: "He came here to apologize, saying that he shouldn't take Mingye out during the day, let alone go out and didn't pay close attention to Mingye... I see that uncle cares about Mingye."
Ji Mingxiu couldn't deny it: "He made the coffin that Mingye buried back then."
"Uncle still beats coffins?" Qiao Wei was surprised.
Ji Mingxiu explained: "His family is a carpenter, and he knows a little bit. Ming Ye was buried in a hurry, and the carpenter he was looking for suddenly had an accident. When my uncle heard that the carpenter couldn't come, he took the initiative to break the coffin. .”
Qiao Wei understood, and said again: "I don't think my uncle is too old, did he marry my aunt so early?"
Ji Mingxiu put the written memorial aside, and said: "At that time, I was not married yet. My uncle, my second uncle, and my third uncle were all students of Nanshan Academy. They were in the same class and had a good relationship. Occasionally, I would be invited to my house as guests. It happened that my uncle was at Ji's house that day."
Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows: "It turns out that uncle and aunt know each other like this. Uncle's family is a carpenter, so he is from a poor family. Why did the Ji family marry aunt to him? As an aunt, being a queen is enough, right?" ?”
Ji Mingxiu sighed lightly: "Grandfather doesn't like marrying children into the royal family very much. My mother and father's marriage was also strongly opposed by my grandfather."
Qiao Wei frowned strangely: "Does grandfather have any enmity with the royal family?"
Ji Mingxiu said: "That's not true, it's just that the royal relatives and relatives of the past dynasties rarely end well."
Qiao Wei said thoughtfully: "It's true, once the emperor and the courtiers, the relatives of the emperor at that time may be a thorn in the side after changing the emperor. Grandfather is very thoughtful. However, I think the current emperor is very good , the prince is not bad, at least the Ji family can survive for a hundred years."
Ji Mingxiu looked at Qiao Wei: "Speaking of the emperor, I have some good news."
"What good news?" Qiao Wei asked.
Ji Mingxiu smiled lightly and said, "You are going to be Mrs. Gaoming."
Qiao Wei's eyes widened: "Really?"
Ji Mingxiu hooked the corners of his lips: "Can I still lie to you as a husband? Thanks to the farming skills you taught, crops have grown on the grasslands of the Huns. The second prince of the Huns thanked the emperor. As soon as the emperor was happy, he decided to seal you up." An order."
Qiao Wei flipped Liu Hai'er smartly: "Then I will be a person with a mandate from now on! By the way, do I have a salary?"
Ji Mingxiu said with a smile: "Yes, after the Ministry of Rites is notified and the jade plates and documents are made, Eunuch Fu should come to announce the decree."
Qiao Wei was overjoyed. She never expected that she could earn a job as a civil servant in ancient times. This civil servant can not only have a lifetime salary, but also doesn't have to work. It is simply a super iron rice bowl. Worried about living on the streets.
Ji Mingxiu looked at her secretly delighted, and couldn't help laughing. Fortunately, she got a salary. If she just had a commandment, she wouldn't even raise her eyelids.
Qiao Wei grabbed Ji Mingxiu's arm, and looked at Ji Mingxiu bluntly. Maybe she had a solid job, and her eyes were brighter than before: "It's far away, why did my grandfather agree to marry my aunt before I said anything?" What about a poor boy? You can’t just find a son-in-law just because you don’t want to marry the royal family?”
After all, Xun Lan is also a descendant of a famous Gusu family, the daughter of an official family, and a scholarly family, but Uncle Qin is only the son of a carpenter... Is this different from Luo Yongnian's status as a blacksmith? According to this standard, wouldn't Luo Yongnian be able to find a girl from the Ji family? Of course, when it comes to appearance, my uncle is really wonderful.
Ji Mingxiu put down the brush, took her delicate plain hand, and said: "One is that my aunt does not want to marry out of the Ji family, the other is that my aunt likes my uncle, and the third is that my uncle is from a poor family, but his family background is clean, and he is married to my third uncle." The second uncle is a classmate and good friend, and my aunt fiddled with it for a while, and my grandfather agreed."
Qiao Wei blinked and said: "In the future, our Wang Shu will also find a son-in-law to marry in. I am reluctant to marry her off."
Ji Mingxiu couldn't help but said, "How old is Wang Shu, do you think so far?"
Qiao Wei smiled, and said again: "Is it the uncle that my aunt is chasing after?"
"It is said to be." Ji Mingxiu said, kissing her palm.
Qiao Wei was kissed so sweetly in her heart, she bent her eyes, and said: "I think so, I went to my aunt's place today, and gave my aunt and uncle a gift from the Tana tribe, but as soon as my uncle entered the house, Auntie's eyes have completely grown on him. Tell me, after we've been married for so many years, can my eyes always grow on you? "
Ji Mingxiu snorted speciously: "You don't have eyes on me now."
"Cough!" Qiao Wei coughed, don't make trouble like this...
Ji Mingxiu raised her eyebrows, let go of her hand, and went to write the memorial.
"Speaking of which." Qiao Wei walked over, stood opposite him, and raised her hand to block the memorial he was writing, "Why don't you go home quickly after the court, but run to visit the brothel with someone, it's very romantic and happy."
"It's just a meal." Ji Mingxiu said.
In the minds of most men in Daliang Dynasty, eating in a place with women is actually not much different from eating in a place without women. It's like adding a kind of wine, it just depends on whether you drink this wine or not That's all, and Ji Mingxiu happens to be the type who never touches this kind of wine, but he doesn't touch it, it doesn't mean he doesn't even enter other people's taverns.
Qiao Wei naturally understands this truth, and understands that he is in such a position, such entertainment is essential, she believes in him, but who made him complain that she didn't have eyes on him? It's just that she doesn't keep her eyes on him occasionally, but she's not like him, who goes to brothels every now and then!
Ji Mingxiu gently took Qiao Wei's hand away and continued to write the memorial.
Qiao Wei leaned her elbows on the table, looked at him with her chin resting, and narrowed her eyes dangerously: "Meditation—"
"Huh?" Ji Mingxiu wrote, and answered her.
Qiao Wei elongated her tone in a strange way: "Do you often go to that kind of place?"
"Where?" Ji Mingxiu asked.
Qiao Wei's eyes were full of murderous intent: "Where there are girls."
Ji Mingxiu's writing hand stopped, and he looked up at her, with a faint smile in his eyes: "Are you jealous?"
Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows, looked up at the sky and said, "Who said that? I'll just ask, where do you fall in love?"
Ji Mingxiu smiled lightly: "My lady is so generous."
Qiao Wei said righteously: "Don't look at me as unreasonable, but in fact I am very open-minded. I know that men in ancient times did not have a single-minded ideological consciousness. Three wives and four concubines are all commonplace. If you like What girl, if you want to take it home, I won't object."
The big deal is to castrate you!
The lower abdomen suddenly became cold, Ji Mingxiu glanced at Qiao Wei, and said meaningfully: "My wife is so generous, but what does it mean to be a man in ancient times?"
Qiao Wei opened her mouth: "Yes..."
Ji Mingxiu smiled lightly: "Is it the lady's hometown dialect? I've been to my lady's hometown, and the people there don't seem to speak that way."
Qiao Wei touched her nose, her eyes flickered, she covered her face and yawned: "I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep first! You write slowly! I won't disturb you anymore!"
After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, but Ji Mingxiu grabbed his arm.
With his strength, Qiao Wei walked around the desk and sat in his arms.
Ji Mingxiu caressed her soft red lips, and his tone was gentle, but there was a hint of gnashing of teeth: "It seems that the lady has been to some unknown place, or met some extraordinary people. ?”
Qiao Wei gathered herself together, met his eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, and said without changing her face: "I have been in the capital since I was born, and it's not like you don't know, you know who I know and who I don't know, Ming The young master wants to check a person's past, can't he find out clearly?"
She didn't believe that Mingxiu hadn't checked her. Even though she had changed in a thousand ways, it was impossible for him to think that he was a modern person wearing a soul.
Ji Mingxiu smiled coldly: "My lady is so dishonest, how should I punish my husband?"
Originally, she was the one who was being questioned by Xingshi, but how did the crooked building become the one being accused by Xingshi
If the stalemate continued, she was afraid that she would accidentally slip up.
"I... going to sleep." Qiao Wei struggled to stand up.
But Ji Mingxiu hugged her even tighter: "I'll punish you... how about giving birth to another child for my young master?"
OK…
Qiao Wei pursed her lips.
Ji Mingxiu looked at her laughing but trying to hold back, almost couldn't hold back.
Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, Qiao Wei couldn't help muttering to herself, didn't she want to have another child? Why don't you move? Tear up this little Dolma's clothes quickly, and throw this little Dolma on the table fiercely, don't show mercy!
Ji Mingxiu laughed out loud.
"What are you laughing at?" Qiao Wei looked at him seriously.
Ji Mingxiu held back his smile and said, "I seem to be very anxious to laugh at someone."
Qiao Wei said very coldly: "You must be talking about yourself."
Ji Mingxiu looked at her left hand that had already touched his chest, then at her right hand that had been stretched into his pants, and finally at her hands that had not yet been placed, and raised her eyebrows: "You are right. , I was in a hurry."
Qiao Wei said seriously: "Of course, I'm not in a hurry."
He tore his clothes.
Ji Mingxiu: "..."
The night was dark, and the entangled bodies moved powerfully in the curtain.
Her breath was taken away, her body gradually softened, and Qiao Wei lay softly under her body, accepting his kisses and more.
In the house, a shameful voice gradually sounded, and the crescent moon in the sky hugged its head and hid in the clouds...
…
The next day, Aunt Qin received the news that the places for the entrance examination had been obtained, there were three in total, one for each little bun, because Nanshan Academy did not accept female students, and secondly did not recruit students under the age of ten, so in order to get the places , Mrs. Qin can be said to have taken great pains.
Uncle Qin didn't have a strong sense of presence in Ji's family before, because of this incident, everyone was quite surprised. It is said that Uncle Qin also has some abilities, but he just kept a low profile and refused to reveal it.
Originally, Mrs. Ji did not quite agree to send the child outside to be exposed to the sun and rain. She felt sorry for her grandson, fearing that such a small doll would be bullied, and fearing that studying hard outside would be better than being attentive in the mansion, Qiao Wei Haosheng did a lot of ideological work for the elderly, saying that children also need playmates, always stay at home, not studying, but being the master, the master dare not beat or scold, learning well is good, learning well Not good is good, where can we see the child's true level? As long as they are placed in a group, you will know whether it is a mule or a horse, and you will know if you take a walk, and more contact with the outside world is good for the child's personality.
Mrs. Ji thought about Brother Liu's temperament, and then Jing Yun and Wang Shu's temperament, and felt that it was better to keep it at home than to let it go outside, so she no longer objected.
The date of the exam is just three days later. The questions of the exam vary from year to year, but they are roughly divided into three items, one is the literary test, the other is the military test, and the other is the optional test.
Judging from past experience, the main content of the literary test is inseparable from the Four Books and Five Classics, but if you read the books well, the chance of passing is not small; the military test mainly tests the candidate's physique and riding skills; the last optional test It is more flexible, and some are similar to modern additional questions, mainly to show the talents of candidates, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc.
Qiao Wei asked Aunt Qin to open the back door, and got a few sets of Chinese test questions from last year and the year before last. Jing Yun had no problems with Chinese and arithmetic, but what did the last half of the translation questions mean
"Is Nanshan Academy so advanced? Have you started taking foreign language exams?"
Aunt Qin smiled and said: "These are sub-questions for the Xiongnu candidates. Candidates from the Central Plains don't have to do it. Even without these questions, the scores of the candidates from the Central Plains are far ahead of the Xiongnu candidates."
Qiao Wei was slightly taken aback: "There are still foreign students in Nanshan Academy?"
"What happened?" Aunt Qin didn't understand.
Qiao Wei smiled: "It's the examinee of the Huns."
Aunt Qin said softly: "The Huns admire the culture of the Central Plains, and every year they send special personnel to study. In the past, when the bilateral relationship was tense, the policy would be stricter. Now that the two countries have good relations, the policy must be relatively loose. But you don't have to worry, Jing Yun's qualifications , should be able to enroll."
She's not worried about Jing Yun, she's worried about brother Liu and Wang Shu, one is weak and the other is illiterate, what should I do if they are about to be sent to the examination room
No matter what Qiao Wei is worried about now, the 21st will still come as scheduled.
The three little buns put on beautiful new clothes and went out happily.
Wang Shu likes exams the most. She got a golden abacus in the first exam, and she got excellent grades in every exam after that. The old man said that she was the best in the class, better than her brother, and he would reward her with a bag every time. sugar.
Brother Liu has never passed the exam, and listening to Wang Shu bragging, his heart is full of envy and longing, not knowing that what awaits him will be a cruel competition.
Among the three cubs, only Jing Yun knew what they were doing best. With an unreliable sister and an even more unreliable uncle, Jing Yun deeply felt the burden on his shoulders.
Ji Mingxiu sent Qiao Wei and the three little ones to the examination room. Before getting off the carriage, Ji Mingxiu rubbed the heads of Jing Yun and Wang Shu: "Just do your best, don't think about anything else."
Wang Shu said with a smile: "I will definitely do well in the exam! Last time I was the first to come out! I will also be the first to come out this time!"
Qiao Wei covered her eyes, last time you were the first to be eliminated...
Ji Mingxiu pinched his daughter's face, and then brother Liu's, with a more serious tone: "You are an uncle, don't do worse than the two younger ones, you know?"
Brother Liu is afraid of big brother.
Qiao Wei repaired Ji Ming's skirt and said, "You go to court."
Ji Mingxiu held her hand: "I'll come to pick you up from court."
Qiao Wei smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Qiao Wei got out of the carriage with the three little ones.
Although the entrance examination for freshmen was not as huge as the prodigy examination, it was still very lively. The field outside the courtyard was packed to the brim. At first glance, it was dark and full of heads.
It was the first time that Brother Liu had seen so many people, and he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
Qiao Wei hung the number plate around the necks of the three of them. Parents are not allowed to enter the academy, so after entering this gate, it is all up to them. The children of other families are all children in their teens and teens. Boy, only three of my own are Xiaodouding...
Little Bean Ding bid farewell to Qiao Wei, and went to the entrance hand in hand. The three of them were not even taller than the table.
Seeing the three small cards suddenly appearing on the table, the ticket-checking master was startled, looked around, leaned on the table and looked down, and saw three little bean dings carved with jade.
Xiao Wangshu narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Hello, sir!"
