"Then what exactly is the old lady thinking?"

Because she was on good terms with Zhu Yan, she was quite familiar with the Zhen Guo Duke's mansion. She had also seen how much the Zhen Guo Duke's wife loved Zhu Ni, even more than she did to Zhu Yan, her eldest granddaughter. Maybe It was pity that Zhu Ni was not accompanied by her parents all year round.

Zhu Yan said: "Grandma has always been kind to Xiao Yu, but... how should I put it? After all, Xiao Yu only came back recently. For more than ten years, grandma has regarded Zhu Ni as her own granddaughter, so she treats Xiao Yu very much. Attitude, kind but not close.”

"What now?"

"Maybe it won't be long before you all come to my house for a wedding banquet. I heard from my mother that in view of the current situation at home, my grandfather is going to find an opportunity to go to Duke Dingguo's mansion to discuss with Duke Ding and arrange for Zhu Ni and Mr. Wu’s wedding date has been brought forward.”

Geng Xingshuang nodded, "This is a good idea. Zhu Ni has married into the Wu family. The marriage is done. Zhu Ni feels at ease, and Mrs. Zhu has no hope. There is no need to make trouble anymore, and Xiaoyu can recover her safely." Original identity.”

"That's what happened." Zhu Yan sighed, "Because of this matter, the family has not been able to rest for a while. My sister-in-law was still pregnant. She was frightened by Zhu Ni's hanging that day. Fortunately, the imperial doctor came to see her. In the end, I was lucky and didn’t have fetal pressure.”

After lunch, the group went to Mingshang Pavilion. When they returned to the uncle's house, the sun was already setting.

"Girl, the second young master is in front!" As soon as he entered the gate of the uncle's house, Jinbao saw Geng Shuhuai walking in front.

His steps were long and fast, and he seemed to be in a hurry.

"Second brother!" Geng Xingshuang shouted immediately.

Geng Shuhuai paused, turned around and looked back, "You just came back now? Have you been playing outside all day? I remember that the new Jinshi parade was just for more than an hour in the morning, right?"

The tone was quite sour.

"I went to Mingshang Pavilion in the afternoon, and part of the summer clothes has been made. Nuo, the summer clothes I designed for you have been made. I will go back and try it out later."

Geng Xingshuang gestured to him to look at the baggage in Jinbao's hand.

"That's pretty much it. Go back quickly, I have something to say."

Geng Shuhuai said, took two steps back and took the big bundle from Jin Bao's hand.

Jin Bao watched the second young master carrying the baggage and leaving, thinking that if the second young master knew that there were two pieces of clothes belonging to Young Master Yang Liu, he might be upset again.

"What's going on?" Geng Xingshuang took two quick steps and followed up.

"Let's talk about it when we get back, lest I have to say it twice."

“Is it a good thing or a bad thing.”

"Good thing!"

"Second brother, you were not in the house early this morning. I thought you were going to the street to watch the new Jinshi parade on horseback, and you didn't want to take me with you. Now it seems that is not the case."

As Geng Xingshuang walked, she looked up at Geng Shuhuai.

Geng Shuhuai slowed down according to her speed. When he heard her words, he glanced down at her and hummed: "Of course not, I'm not a girl like you. I get excited when I see a new Jinshi parading on a horse. They either threw purses and sachets or screamed so loudly that it hurt people’s eardrums.”

"Second brother, how did you know this if you didn't go there?" Geng Xingshuang asked.

"Second brother, Sixth Sister and I neither threw the purse sachets nor screamed loudly. If you don't believe it, look at us, our purses are still hanging on our bodies."

After listening to this, Geng Xingchen, who had resisted interrupting, couldn't help it anymore.

Today, she didn't even see when Li Xu rode past her on horseback. Li Xu must not know about this, but he probably didn't notice it at the time!
Geng Xingshuang seemed to see her worry, bumped her arm lightly and said: "Didn't you say Mr. Li's equestrian skills are average? In the situation this morning, with horses next to horses and people on both sides of the road, Mr. Li He must be like other new scholars, he has to control the horse carefully and doesn't have the energy to look both ways. Besides, there are so many restaurants and tea shops on both sides, how would he know which restaurant we are in, so..."

"So even if I didn't see him walking past me, he didn't know?"

"That's it!" The two of them were talking quietly here, but Geng Shuhuai next to them listened to every word. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, thinking that he would have something to tease Li Xu next time he saw him.

"Sister Shuang, didn't you see Yang Liu walking past you?"

If so, all the better.

Geng Xingshuang knew what his second brother was thinking when he saw his expression.

She hummed: "Of course I saw it."

"But you didn't say anything. The purse is still on you. Oh, I remembered it. You and your mother embroidered this purse in the house a few days ago. It's this color, and the embroidery on it is red and green. It took several days to embroider the playful and playful pattern, so you can’t bear to part with it?”

Geng Xingshuang: ...What should I do if she doesn't want to pay attention to others, and her hands are even itchy!

"Second brother, do you have anything good to say? Can I go and listen?" Geng Xingchen said immediately.

She felt that if she didn't speak, her second brother's clean and tidy hair would be lost when the sixth sister gave her a command when she arrived at Qingcui Courtyard.

"Yes, of course I can listen." Geng Shuhuai understood Geng Xingchen's sentiments.

As soon as she entered the house, before she could say anything, Mrs. Ruan greeted her for dinner. Probably realizing that she had offended Geng Xingshuang before, Geng Shuhuai kept picking up food for her. Of course, she did not forget about Geng Xingshuang. stars.

"Dad, mother, second brother said he had something to say! Good thing!"

"What good thing?" Geng Wen and Ruan looked at Geng Shuhuai.

Geng Shuhuai coughed lightly.

"It's like this. After we pass the martial arts examination, we can be appointed officials. However, the military examination is somewhat different from the imperial examination. It is not that the Ministry of Civil Affairs will arrange official positions after the results are released. But when I took the exam before, the examiner told us, For this military exercise, as long as the top [-] people are selected, the Ministry of War will first draw up official positions, and then submit them to the Ministry of Personnel for approval. I just went to ask today, and I didn't expect it to be so fast."

Geng Shuhuai paused for a moment after saying this. He picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and ate it slowly. He said no more.

Geng Wen coughed and wanted to urge him, but thought of his relationship with his son and held back.

Ruan and Geng Xingshuang couldn't help it.

"Geng Shuhuai!"

"Second brother!"

The mother and daughter spoke almost at the same time.

Geng Shuhuai originally wanted to wait for Geng Wen to urge him, but he continued to sell things off. It seemed that with his mother and sister around, this trick didn't work.

"Master Yu, the head of the Ministry of War, told me that our group of people have been temporarily assigned to the camp outside Ningdu Guard City to receive guard training. As for official positions, the first three martial arts examinations are temporarily classified as seventh-grade school captains, and the rest are temporarily classified as rank-[-] captains. The eighth- to ninth-grade captains receive their salary and will be assigned to various guard posts after three months of military training."

After Geng Shuhuai finished speaking, he looked at his mother and sister with a smile and asked, "How about it? I'm two levels higher than Geng Shulou."

Geng Wen said: "It's hard to say whether you can persevere in these three months of military training. The guard station is not like the escort agency, where you can be free and undisciplined!"

Geng Shuhuai ignored Geng Wen and only looked at Ruan Shi and Geng Xingshuang.

Ruan said happily: "This is a good thing, but where will you be assigned in three months?"

Ruan was worried that Geng Shuhuai could not be in Ningdu City. Geng Xingshuang was naturally worried too, but she had another guess in her mind, which doubled her worries. (End of chapter)
