Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 278 Official Designated Imperial Examination Reference Book!

When the ceremony of offering captives to the Taimiao was held in the imperial palace, the group of little girls standing outside the gate suffered a lot.

And the one who didn't pay attention to his diet in the morning was already secretly clutching his belly, and his eyes began to wander around.

Xu Miaojin is better, after all, their family enters the palace quite frequently, and they have already made preparations in advance.

So, she is just thirsty, other needs of her body are better.

However, the two little girls of the Feng family were not so lucky. First, they heard that they were going to study in the palace, and they were so excited that they didn't sleep well all night.The second reason is that I ate a lot in the morning and drank a lot, and now they are all coming to my door.

But the two of them were young and shy, so they were embarrassed to talk to the aunt next to them, so they had to keep tugging on Xu Miaojin's clothes.

"Xu Auntie, help me, I want to find a place to relax..."

"Then tell your aunt yourself!"

"I... I'm sorry..."

"What do you mean?"

Xu Miaojin turned around and looked at Feng Linger bitterly, wishing she could slap her on the face.

"You are embarrassed, so I am embarrassed?"

"I'm a girl too!"

Feng Ling'er looked at Xu Miaojin in surprise when she heard this, and asked a very uncertain question.

"is it?"

"Don't tell Aunt Xu, I almost forgot that you are also a girl..."

"Ah ah ah..."

Xu Miaojin almost went crazy when she heard this, and she thought depressedly, she was full, so she had nothing to do with these two idiots, she had to come to the palace to suffer, wouldn't it be good to just lie at home?

"Ms. Xu, I beg you, please help me..."

"Ugh!"

"I really owe you!"

Xu Miaojin couldn't stand being begged by others, especially the two poor guys from the Feng family who used to pretend to be miserable begging her.

"aunt!"

"The minister has something to ask for!"

"Oh?"

The guiding aunt who was in charge of all the honorable women's family members hurried over when she heard what Xu Miaojin said, and when she saw that it was Miss Xu's family, she was immediately respectful.

Now the person in charge of the harem is Concubine Guo Hui, the second son of Concubine Guo Hui, acting Wang Zhugui, will marry the second lady of the Xu family in the new year.

Therefore, the Xu family is destined to become a celebrity in the palace.

"May I ask Miss Miaojin what is your order?"

"I want to change clothes!"

The so-called changing clothes is the same as undressing, which is an elegant way of going to the latrine.

Clothes in ancient times were loose and cumbersomely decorated, and going to the toilet once was as cumbersome as changing clothes.

When the surrounding female relatives heard this, they all showed shocking eyes.

Whose girl is this girl, to say such things in front of so many male guests?
The male companion on the other side read it, and when they heard this, they lowered their heads in unison, or simply turned their heads to the other side, looking very graceful.

Seeing everyone's expressions like this, Xu Miaojin's face was also filled with red, and she wished to find a crack in the ground to get in.And he thought bitterly in his heart that when he went to the Feng family at night, he must take care of the two little nieces of the Feng family!
Guiding the aunt is very understandable, and apologizes for her negligence.

"I'm so sorry, this is the negligence of the servants, and it made all the ladies suffer!"

In fact, this is no negligence, but a certain Concubine Guo Hui, who did not want to be named, secretly instigated to give a blow to the young girls who entered the palace.

"Miss Miaojin, please come with your servant!"

Just as Xu Miaojin was about to leave, she heard two urgent calls from behind.

"Aunt Xu!"

"Auntie, these two people who are with me, can you..."

"Let's go together!"

The two little ones of the Feng family hurriedly followed after hearing the words, and the girls of her family also wanted to take advantage of this, but they couldn't muster up the courage to speak, so they could only look at the trio entering the palace with envy and hatred .

Xu Miaoqing still stood there elegantly, looking at her sister with a wry smile.

She didn't know whether to praise this silly girl or scold her.

Girls from other families do everything possible to make a good impression, but their family just doesn't care about image.

Could it be that if you don't want to be strong?
While Xu Miaoqing was in a trance, a female official walked out of the palace gate.

"Which one is Miss Xu Miaoqing?"

Xu Miaoqing hurriedly looked at the female officer when she heard the words, and bowed with her knees folded.

"My daughter, Xu Miaoqing, met my aunt."

"Concubine Hui please, please let the second young miss enter the palace with the slaves."

"promise!"

It is true that Concubine Guo Hui wants to give a group of little girls a bad name, but she will never use this power and prestige on her own daughter-in-law.

After all, this daughter-in-law was not easy to come by. It was she who dragged His Majesty the emperor to propose marriage in person, which made the Xu family agree.

However, Concubine Guo Hui didn't make them wait too long. If it was really delayed until the sacrifice to the Ancestral Temple, a few of them would probably die of exhaustion.

Therefore, after calling Xu Miaoqing into the palace in advance to show her special care for her daughter-in-law and giving the Xu family enough face, it didn't take long before they ordered people to bring a group of male and female companions into the main hall.

When all the companions arrived at Dahontang, they all asked someone to find out where the latrine was.

Ever since, the huts outside the main hall are the same as the public toilets of later generations.While it was deserted, there was a long queue.

But this has nothing to do with Xu Miaojin and the little girls of the Feng family. They have already solved the problem first, so they don't have to crowd with a group of people.

In order to accommodate so many accompanying readers, Lao Zhu also carried out some renovations on the main hall.

Originally, there was a wall between the prince and the princess, but now the wall was smashed down and replaced with several huge screens to divide into two schools.One for the older prince and companions, and one for the young prince and grandson.

As for the original princess school, three rooms were vacated separately, and the school for the princess, princess, and female companions was opened up.

As for the dining hall, it is still the same, but a curtain is added in the middle, and the prince, grandson and male companions are placed on one side, and the princess, princess, and female companions are placed on the other side.

In this way, it can not only accommodate enough students, but also reflect the difference between men and women, so that no jokes will be made.

Not long after the three of Xu Miaojin sat down, they saw several princesses and princesses walking in with willow branches.

"Who is Xu Miaojin?"

Feng Baoer and Feng Linger saw the hostile posture of the crowd, and hurriedly moved to the side to highlight Xu Miaojin.

Xu Miaojin secretly scolded these two for being cowards, and then took a step forward with her chest out.

"The courtiers are, what are you doing!"

"Are you the guy who beat up my eldest nephew?"

"Your eldest nephew is..."

"Of course it's the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxi!"

This is Xu Miaojin's typical questioning. She has already seen that the other party is a princess, but she doesn't know her name.

After all, there are so many princesses in the palace, even the emperor himself may not know all of them, so she can recognize them all wherever she goes.

"Oh!"

"So it's my defeated general?"

When Xu Miaojin said this, a contemptuous smile appeared on his face.

"how?"

"Zhu Yunxi can't beat me, so I went back to the palace to cry to you?"

Seeing Xu Miaojin being so arrogant, Princess Ruyang greeted everyone immediately.

"This little girl is too arrogant!"

"Sisters, beat her up!"

……

Changning Palace.

Concubine Guo Hui warmly greeted Xu Miaoqing and asked Xu Miaoqing to sit next to her.

"Miaoqing, you didn't get angry when you heard about Bengong's Yizhi yesterday?"

"Returning to your lord, my daughter is not an ignorant person. I know that this is my mother's protection. I don't want my daughter to be too conspicuous, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Concubine Guo Hui was even more delighted when she heard such a decent answer, she just felt that she had chosen the right daughter-in-law.

"You're right to think so!"

"That naughty son of this palace, if I can be as caring as you, this palace will wake up laughing even in a dream, hahaha..."

"By the way, this is the key to the warehouse of Dai Wang's Mansion, and there is also a deed of the farm estate. You should keep it for Zhu Gui's son."

"Zhu Gui and the third emperor's grandson went to sea to do business this time and earned money and goods. I have ordered people to send them to the Prince Dai's Mansion outside the palace. Take some time to go and have a look. Directly allocate money from the treasury to repair it, and don't need to save money for Zhu Gui's rebellious son."

"He has a few spare cash in his hand and spends it recklessly. I'd better leave it in your hands to be at ease, hahaha..."

Xu Miaoqing did not agree with this marriage at first, but after getting along with Zhu Gui and Concubine Guo Hui's trust in herself, she gradually changed her attitude, from the initial resistance to acceptance.

"Then the courtier won't say goodbye to the empress..."

When Concubine Guo Hui heard this, she suddenly put the box back and looked at Xu Miaoqing with a smile.

"Little girl, it's time to change your name and call me Concubine Mother!"

Although Xu Miaoqing was the daughter of a military general, she was a girl after all, no matter how thick-skinned she was, she still blushed when she was teased by Concubine Guo Hui so much, so she could only call out concubine Shengmu in a shy voice.

"Thank you, Mother Concubine, for your trust..."

"Daughter-in-law must guard the gate of Dai Wang's mansion, take care of her husband and teach her children, and assist her husband to be the screen of the Ming Dynasty..."

Concubine Guo Hui held Xu Miaoqing's hand in satisfaction, patted the back of her daughter-in-law's hand, and then handed the brocade box to her.

"Good boy!"

"With your words, Concubine Mother can rest assured that Gui'er will be entrusted to you. If that kid dares to mess with you in the future, you can go to the palace and tell Concubine Mother, and Concubine Mother will personally slap him!"

When Xu Miaoqing heard this, she suddenly gained a bit of confidence, and inexplicably aroused strong self-confidence.

"Thank you, mother concubine, for protecting me."

"However, my daughter-in-law has also practiced martial arts since she was a child, and the acting king should not be able to beat her daughter-in-law..."

"Uh uh..."

When Concubine Guo Hui heard this, she almost snatched the brocade box back from Xu Miaoqing's hands.It's true that she wanted to find a virtuous daughter-in-law, but she didn't want her son to be bullied either.

If you marry a tigress for your son, how will life in the palace be like in the future? If your son wants to marry a side concubine, does he still have to look at the girl's face?
"Cough cough..."

"As a woman, you still have to abide by the way of women, and be gentle and virtuous..."

"Concubine Hui, something is wrong, Princess Ruyang is fighting with the female relatives who are studying with you in the palace!"

"what?"

After hearing this, Concubine Guo Hui hurriedly ended the embarrassing topic, and led a bunch of scumbags to the main hall.

Seeing this, Xu Miaoqing hurriedly took the small box to follow, she had an ominous premonition that the one who dared to fight on the first day of entering the palace could only be her own desperate Sanmei Xu!

When Concubine Guo Hui and Xu Miaoqing rushed over, they had already been pulled away by the court ladies and eunuchs.

It's just that Princess Ruyang's complexion is very ugly, and her hair has been torn apart by someone. Even if she is pulled by someone, she still kicks her legs unceasingly, wanting to hit the third child of the Xu family.

Relatively speaking, the other princesses standing behind her were much more honest, they just kept arguing and had no intention of doing anything.

Relatively speaking, it had to be the four little princesses of the Prince's Mansion who were very angry, especially the youngest Ming Dang, who was really screaming and trying to bite someone.

"Concubine Hui is here!"

At this time, the Dahon Hall was already full of people. Hearing Concubine Guo Hui's arrival, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted obediently.

Concubine Guo Hui looked at her daughter coldly, seeing that she was still unconvinced, she immediately reprimanded her.

"Don't kneel down yet!"

When Princess Ruyang saw that her mother and concubine were angry, she knelt down and saluted unwillingly.

"I have seen my mother and concubine!"

Concubine Guo Hui saw that everyone was kneeling, so she asked with a cold face.

"what happened?"

"Reporting to Concubine Hui, the princesses and princesses seem to be fighting for the third emperor's grandson, and that's why they had a conflict with the third miss of the Xu family..."

Xu Miaoqing also caught up at this time, and seeing that the troublemaker was indeed her third son, she hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"The concubine Hui is kind, the father and the king passed away not long after the daughter's sister was born, she lost the court training and lack of education, the minister did not fulfill the responsibility of the elder sister, I implore the concubine Hui to punish the daughter, forgive the sister's wrongdoing fault……"

The reason why Concubine Guo Hui is able to take charge of the harem is that she has certain skills, how can she be moved by Xu Miaoqing's few words?

In addition, she also wanted to display her mother-in-law's money in front of her daughter-in-law, so that this somewhat unruly daughter-in-law would pay more attention to her mother-in-law, and immediately refused with a cold face.

"Miaoqing, you don't need to intercede for Lingmei, I will deal with it according to the palace rules!"

"Come on!"

"Anyone who participates in the fight will be punished with twenty hands!"

"what?"

When the princesses heard that the punishment was so severe, they were so frightened that they cried on the spot.

"Mother, please spare me!"

"Concubine Hui, please forgive me!"

Only Xu Miaojin's expression doesn't matter, is Xin Dao's mere [-] hands worthy of being so afraid?
However, when she was hit by the palm, she cried as sadly as everyone else, and then she realized that the hand in the palace was indeed more painful than the one at home, woo woo woo...

After Zhu Yunxi participated in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple, he first ordered people to take the head of the Japanese pirates to the Wu Palace for auction, and then came to Dahontang after finishing the work.

However, he was different from other princes and grandchildren, he came to Dabentang just to make an appointment, and he had to go to the Ministry of Officials to find the resumes of the officials of Songjiang Mansion, and then figure out how to make personnel arrangements.

However, as soon as he arrived at Dahontang, he heard a familiar cry from inside.Especially after hearing the cries of his four little sisters, he couldn't help but quicken his pace a little.

"Grandma Guo, why are you punishing them, they are still young..."

Concubine Guo Hui was annoyed when she saw Zhu Yunxi.

"It's not because of you!"

"Your aunts and your younger sisters are all here to stand up for you, and they haven't hit anyone yet!"

"oh oh……"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he immediately lost sympathy for them.When is it their turn to help with their own affairs, isn't this a sincere slap in the face?

"Grandma Guo, you continue!"

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi had slipped away, Concubine Guo Hui didn't say she was begging for mercy for her aunts and sisters, she secretly scolded the grandson for having no conscience, and then continued to shout with a cold face.

"beat!"

"Hit me hard!"

Then, heart-piercing cries were heard again in the main hall.

As soon as Zhu Yunxi came out of the main hall, he saw Qi Tai running over. After asking, he learned that the other party was short of money and wanted to earn money by his own ability. Zhu Yunxi gave him a bad idea without thinking.

"Mr. Qi, your Ministry of Rites guards such a golden mountain, yet you are still short of money?"

"You can organize a few Hanlin at will, compile a sample of the civil examination program, collect the provincial examination questions from the provinces of the Ming Dynasty over the years, write a few sample essays for each question, and then hand it over to Sanwei Bookstore for printing and selling, and you can just sit back and accept it. Copyright benefits?"

"This……"

Qi Tai was a little bit moved when he heard this, but when he thought that there were already many books on programming and prose in the world, he was afraid that he would not be able to compete with them.

"The grandson of the Three Emperors doesn't know something. In fact, all provinces have similar books and publications. It is difficult for us to play new tricks on them..."

When Zhu Yunxi heard the words, he hated iron but not steel.

"Are you stupid!"

"Won't you write such a word on the cover?"

"What kind of words?"

"Highly recommended by the Ministry of Rites!"

"Officially designated imperial examination reference book!"
