Hidden golden branches

Zhang Liren and his mother both forgot that Ping'er was working in Shangshu Mansion, and they didn't expect that Ping'er was serving in front of the county lord.

I didn’t even expect that the county boss was a protective master!

Even though Miss Wang's family is distantly related to Concubine Wang Shu, water from far away can't quench their thirst. It’s better for the county magistrate to take charge now!

Furthermore, since ancient times, people have not fought with officials. After hearing Yu Zhu's words, Zhang Liren and his mother immediately remembered that Ping'er was the personal maid of Miss Jiahe of Shangshufu, and had the imperial concubine as a backer.

Now it seems that although Ping'er is a slave serving Jiahe County Lord, Jiahe County Lord treats her well. If she meets the officials, I'm afraid they won't be able to please her.

Zhang Liren winked at his mother, and the two of them stopped clamoring to see the official and demanded that Ping'er's family pay for medical expenses.

Ping'er felt relieved, her goal had been achieved anyway.

But when it comes to fighting, Ping'er is not as good as Yu Zhu. After all, Yu Zhu is a practitioner, and he has seen too much. He must have a particularly tough attitude towards such people, otherwise they will kick their noses in the face, and the lion will open his mouth. , "It doesn't matter whether we have money or our lives. Let's go see the officials. People like you who always give up should be put in jail."

Yu Zhu put his hands on his hips and started to show off his eloquence, scolding people all the way, all because of listening too much.

Zhang Liren is a scholar after all, but there is no way he can scold her, and his mother is a bully. In the end, Yu Zhu rewarded them with two taels of silver as if they were benevolent. As if they had gotten something cheap, they quickly put their sleeves into their arms and left in disgrace.

As long as they don't report it to the official at this moment, if they do it again in the future, it will be regarded as a groundless and false accusation.

Ping'er breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at Yu Zhu, made a standard blessing ceremony and said, "Thank you sister."

Yu Zhu helped her sit down and said seriously: "Don't thank me, it was all taught by our lady. You are so brave. But it is refreshing, so refreshing."

Ping'er also smiled and said, "Yes, Miss taught me."

The saying that a scholar is justified when he meets a soldier is hard to explain. You can't compete with a pretty boy like Zhang Liren in a show of shame, so there's no need to be reasonable, just resort to violence.

And where is Zhang Liren's destiny? It's about the imperial examination. He thinks that he can be a Jinshi in the future, and he is just playing with Ping'er. How can he be a maid?

What Chen Rong taught Ping'er was to destroy Zhang Liren's future.

Since ancient times, officials have stipulated that they must have straight facial features, and Zhang Liren has a straight face with a rectangular face, but now that his appearance is bad, even if he passes the exam in the future, he will not be able to get elected as an official.

Ping'er was a vicious person and had already applied medicine on his hairpin. This medicine could leave scars on the wound, and Zhang Liren's face would not heal. Moreover, Ping'er was cruel and scratched directly from his left eyebrow to his right cheek.

After Zhang Liren had been raising her for a long time and the scars had not disappeared, she came to Nao Ping'er's family again, but no one acknowledged the debt. Ping'er had already left here and "married" elsewhere.

Mrs. Zhang and her family entered the Shangshu's Mansion again to serve them. They had all sold themselves to the Shangshu's Mansion. Zhang Li could not find anyone, and they did not dare to go to the Shangshu's Mansion to cause trouble.

Besides, Miss Jiang at the alley looked down on him when he looked like this, leaving Zhang Liren to end up in vain.

Since the imperial examination, there have been grand celebrations for the Jinshi and those who have passed the imperial examination, the most famous of which is the Flower Festival Banquet. The emperor personally selected the two youngest and handsomest among the Jinshi scholars to serve as flower visitors. They visited famous gardens and picked famous flowers, which led to the poem "Seeing all the flowers in Chang'an in one day". Although there was no longer a banquet for visiting flowers in the Wei Dynasty, in order for the top three to parade around the streets, there had to be Jinshi who were recognized for their talent and appearance. Therefore, the habit of selecting handsome people in previous flower contests has been retained.

Not only is Tanhualang handsome, but the imperial examination never selects those with flaws. Therefore, Zhang Liren was destined to miss the imperial examination.

Chen Rong helped Ping'er deal with the incident quietly, and then she would make wedding clothes with peace of mind and wait for her wedding next spring.

It was not only the custom in the Wei Dynasty that brides had to embroider their wedding clothes with their own hands, but also in several neighboring countries. Besides, after Chen Rong helped Ping'er breathe a sigh of relief. It seems that winter has arrived and the new year is approaching. I will get married in a few months after the New Year.

You have to calm down and prepare your wedding dress.

But Chen Rong was very worried about embroidering the wedding dress. Needless to say, who said her needlework skills were too poor?

Just when Chen Rong was worrying about embroidering the wedding dress, Aunt Zhong came over with a smile and said to Chen Rong: "Miss, I learned from the lady that the imperial concubine has asked the palace's clothing bureau to embroider the wedding dress. It’s embroidered.”

Chen Rong asked in surprise: "Really?"

"Ahem, is it possible that this old slave is still trying to trick you, girl?" Aunt Zhong coughed lightly and said amusedly.

Eh?

How many days does it take to get engaged?

No way, the imperial concubine’s aunt has already had her wedding dress embroidered?

How did Chen Rong know that when the emperor granted her a marriage to Sun Yi, Chen Wanru started asking the Shangyi Bureau to start embroidering her wedding dress.

But later Sun Yi broke off the engagement and the wedding dress was almost embroidered, so she put it aside.

Now that she was engaged to Ji Yuxian, Chen Wanru once again asked the Clothing Bureau to finish the wedding dress.

There is nothing that makes me happy without having to embroider the wedding dress with my own hands, not for anything else but for the needlework that I can't get rid of. Getting married was a major event in her life. Wouldn't it make others laugh if she wore a nondescript wedding dress that she had embroidered by herself and let others see it?

Chen Rong, who was quite self-aware, instantly felt refreshed.

"Cui Zhu pours tea!"

Cuizhu and Yuzhu served Chen Rong, who was already sitting in front of the south window couch in the room. Cuizhu first brought her osmanthus red bean cake and fresh milk orchid snow tea.

After a while, Yuzhu brought fresh fruit again. It was a large plate of cherries, which were red and candied. When you bite them gently, the juice bursts out.

Her mouth was bright red as she ate, the same color as the cherries on the plate.

Seeing this, Cuizhu quietly placed a plain white handkerchief embroidered with plum blossoms in her hand. It was convenient for Chen Rong to pick up and wipe her mouth without disturbing her enjoyment of the food.

Several little girls around were doing things silently, not daring to disturb Chen Rong who was eating snacks.

Chen Rong was very satisfied with this scene, even a little proud.

The capital city has been prosperous since ancient times. In addition to their noble status, the aristocratic families here are not exquisite in food, clothing, use or behavior. To put it bluntly, most of the aristocratic families in the capital are self-righteous and regard all the rich families outside the capital as bumpkins.

Chen Rong is enjoying life at home, while Ji Yuxian is too busy to keep his feet off the ground.

Not only the Dali Temple officials represented by Ji Yuxian were busy working on Gu Fei's case, but the Ministry of Punishment, the governors of Shuntian Prefecture, and the governors of Fengtian Prefecture were also involved. Even the Inspector Qiu Xiao brought his men and staff to help investigate the case.

The final target turned out to be Xiao Jinyu, the eldest son of the emperor!

The consequences of deceiving other people's feelings and always giving up on others are to be disfigured and unable to take part in the imperial examination.
