The prince does not fight for the heir

Chapter 10

"Once we got together to drink again, a friend among them told him that there is a hall of ten kings in Lingyang, and many lifelike gods of Hades and judges were made of wooden sculptures in the hall. There is a strange sound, and at night, no one dares to enter, if he dares to go to the temple and return with a wooden statue, everyone will pool money together to invite him as a guest."

"Zhu Erdan agreed, laughed and left. That night, he really went to the Hall of Ten Kings and carried out a wooden statue of a judge..."

Fu Xuechen does not have the high-spirited and frustrating tone of Mr. Storyteller, who adds fuel and vinegar to the story with twists and turns to show off the burden, and exaggerates the movements and expressions to attract people's immersion. She just uses the words of daily chatting to express the plot of the story she remembers directly. Just come out.

However, classics are classics. The essence of the famous stories in Liaozhai Stories, even if they are simply recounted, can make the listeners listen to them. The sentence was hooked, and my eyes widened and I was fascinated.

From the horror and shock of hearing the heart change, to the breath-holding of the excitement of the head change, Fu Yuchen's reaction to the story was like riding a roller coaster. Although he didn't know what a roller coaster was, Fu Xuechen had a good time telling it.

It wasn't until Haitang knocked on the door and came in to report that the dinner in the front yard was ready, that Fu Xuechen was able to finish telling the story. Satisfied, he bid farewell and returned to the front yard under Fu Yuchen's fascinated eyes.

Dinner is a rare time for the Fu family to get together. As long as Fu Chuanyi, the master of Jingbei Hou, is at home, there will be a banquet. In the past, Fu Xuechen would not be absent, but now "Fu Xuechen" has a broken leg, so he just stays in the house and does not have to attend .

As soon as Fu Xuechen left, Fu Yuchen immediately asked the big maid Furong to find him a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Regardless of the pain in his leg, he sat down at the round table with difficulty and began to copy at his desk. He pointed and put it aside.

He wants to take advantage of his fresh memory to quickly record the story of Lu Pan. No way, this story will belong to him from now on. Thinking of the surging place, he can't help but smile all over his face, the corners of his mouth almost reaching behind his ears .

The dinner in Fu's residence is not extravagant. An old lady Fu, together with Jingbeihou couple, daughter Fu Xuechen, 15-year-old concubine eldest daughter Fu Rushuang, five-year-old concubine Fu Ruzhen, Jingbeihou's concubine Wu's aunt Wu , A table of seven people is nothing more than eight dishes and one soup.

Mrs. Fu is old and deaf, so she usually doesn't like to talk. Although the Marquis of Jingbei doesn't have the problem of not eating and sleeping like a literati family, but because he works in the five-army governor's mansion, many people in the court have heard about it. You can't reveal it at will, so you don't say much.

On the contrary, Mrs. Xie, the wife of the Marquis of Jingbei, who is in charge of Zhongkui, will inevitably face the trivial problems of many parents, so she always complains at the dinner table, and everyone's ears are full of her voice for a while.

Xie's main point today is that Fu Chuanxi, the cousin of Neiyuan from the Jingbei Hou family who works as a river official in the Southwest Road, sent three carts of gifts to the Jingbei Houfu, including the Southwest specialty fragrant rice, Shu brocade is the main one, with some rare calligraphy and paintings.

We all know that the officials of the river course are fat and poor, rich in oil and water, but like Fu Chuanxi who often gives gifts to his cousin, no matter how much Xie likes him in his heart, he is always worried that he will do something out of the ordinary during his tenure. When something happened to him, it would become a stumbling block for La Jing Beihou to go into the water, and he really had to guard against it, so every time he received a gift, Mrs. Xie had to say a few words and sigh a few times.

The Marquis of Jingbei frowned, and only said that he knew it, but he didn't take it too seriously. He has just won the country, and he is still straightening out the order of officials under his rule. Many systems can only follow the old rules in a hurry. The corruption of the previous dynasty is well known to everyone, and following the old rules will inevitably generate extra oil and water. After a while, the imperial court has changed the system, and everyone can follow the new system. As long as the previous things did not commit crimes, they can forget the past .

Fu Chuanxi, his cousin, is his follower when he urinates. He obeys his advice and knows how to behave. Therefore, the Marquis of Jingbei is not very worried that he will cause some irreparable troubles. He occasionally sends letters to warn the other party. Just a sentence.

The topic soon turned to Fu Xuechen's current selection of the prince's companion. When the Marquis of Jingbei asked a question, Fu Xuechen talked about the general assessment process and results, but he only said that his scores in the literary test were excellent, and his scores in the military test were above average. The fact that my poems were read on the spot by the Bachelor of Ji University.

Jingbei Hou asked again about the results of Fu Yuchen's two major rivals, Cheng Defang and Xie Yucheng, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "It's good to perform normally, and not have a bad performance due to nervousness! It seems that this matter, Most likely it will work."

Fu Xuechen successfully passed the test on her father's side, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She didn't know why her father was so sure, and felt a little strange that she was selected.

You know, Cheng Defang is good at the martial arts test, Xie Yucheng is both civil and military, and even Zhang Chuyang seems to have gained the attention of the sixth prince. Her performance is not much better than these three. She really doesn't understand, where is her own advantage in selection? ?

But Jingbei Hou was not interested in talking about it, like a riddle, he only said: "This is the ancestor's shelter."

According to the law of Darong, both men and women must reach the age of [-]. Women can marry, and men must perform the crown ceremony at [-] before they can start a family and start a business. Therefore, the princes live in the palace of the princes before they reach the age of [-], and only when they reach the age of [-]. If you leave the palace and live elsewhere, you can become a king and a vassal only when you reach [-].

In Darong customs, it is not taboo for women to show their heads and go out together. The defense of men and women is not so strict, so the underage princes will also take advantage of the opportunity of morning and evening to eat and drink with their mothers during the morning and evening meals. Only at noon because If you want to go to school, you need to have lunch provided by the imperial dining room.

In Yanning Palace, Concubine Xie slowly sips the after-dinner tea, and looks at the sixth prince Yoon Zuo with a doting smile.

Yun Zuo has just turned fifteen, and one year later, he will leave the palace to open his residence. The chances of staying in the palace day and night are getting less and less. No one can prevent the two from eating together.

Concubine Xie has a small appetite, she only tasted a little of the sumptuous dinner on the table before stopping, but Yoon Zuo is still in the period when half a child eats a poor old man's body, but once he starts eating, he can't stop, no matter how elegant and dignified his movements are It can't hide the fact that he can eat a lot and take a long time.

Concubine Xie was neither in a hurry nor urged, and just took this opportunity to listen to her son's gossip about the situation of the group of teenagers participating in the companion reading assessment in the morning.
