green bamboo dream

Waiting to reluctantly send away the excited Lin Zongji, before the mood of reluctance dissipated, one day early in the morning, he heard the gongs and drums outside——

The good news has arrived. 【26nbsp;】

"It's the ninth day of March." Cui was startled, and immediately realized that she stood up happily and walked around the room: "This year, only Brother Yan is going to take the exam in the mansion. Listening to this news, Brother Yan is the middle school student. I just don’t know how many places I won.”

Yuzhu was also very excited, you know it's not easy, the current emperor doesn't want to get many officials to support him, so he gathered all the candidates from all over the country, only about [-] people are selected in total, and the other [-] out of [-] places are fixed for Students from the south, plus topics such as the Four Books, Classics and Meanings, Trial Theory, Judgment, Internal Medicine, Classics, History and Dao, must be developed in a balanced manner without partiality. In ancient times, there was no such thing as pulling points.Under such a rigorous inspection, no matter how many people win, it is quite rare.Immediately smiled and said: "Mother don't care what to do with so many, just hit it."

"That's right, it's good if you hit it. Hurry up, go out with your mother to have a look." Cui's eyes lit up, and she pulled Yuzhu out the door.

Along the way, the maids and daughters-in-law laughed and flattered, and Cui was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, and the voice of rewarding didn't stop.

When we arrived at the old lady's yard, the maids who waited on him were extremely attentive. Everyone knew that the second young master was more distinguished if he had one middle school and three rooms. Although she still behaves well, her thoughts have long been active. The old lady is so old, and there will always be a hundred years later.

Xia Chu opened the curtain and said with a smile: "The old lady is going to invite the third wife, and the second young master of our family has won, Gongshi No. 4"

Cui went in with a smile, and found that there were quite a lot of people today, four masters and four wives, except the eldest master Lin Zongshou who was sick in bed, the ninth master Lin Zongxiao who was missing, and the other young masters and ladies all came.The spacious main room was full of people, and the old lady's usually calm face was full of joy, and she looked at Cui Shi with a lot more kindness than before.

After meeting each other, the old lady smiled and said to Lin Yuanzhi: "San'er, I see you are busy all day, and I'm afraid you won't be able to teach my good grandson. Mother can rest assured now." She smiled Looking at the second grandson who was exactly the same as his most beloved son, he said again: "At first, I was not happy that you sent Ji Geer to the barracks to suffer. Forget it, as long as you can make a living."

Lin Yuanzhi and Cui Shi hurriedly nodded and said yes, Cui Shi was a little uncomfortable, the expressions of the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law were already very bad, if the old lady praised the third room again, it would be putting her on the fire.

The old lady didn't know the principle of "don't worry about the few but the uneven", she didn't even look at the faces of the other daughter-in-laws, so she beckoned Lin Zongming who was standing silently in the corner: "Brother Ming, come here, show grandma See if the swelling on his face has disappeared, which bastard, how can such a handsome child be so determined to do it."

Lin Zongming walked forward with his head down, and said softly, "Back to grandma, it's already much better, and it doesn't hurt at all."

The old lady's eyes were even more pitiful, she gave the embarrassed fourth master a hard look, asked about his studies, and took care of his daily life carefully.

In the end, he took over the two youngest sons-in-law, brother Bin from the first room and brother Cheng from the second room, and teased them to talk.

Standing behind Mrs. Cui, Yu Zhu noticed that the gloomy look in the eyes of the first aunt and the second aunt gradually receded, and she couldn't help but praise in her heart, the old lady is really wise, and in a big house, the reason why brothers turn against each other is basically the partiality of the elders Now, this eccentricity is not only emotional, but also involves the division of property and titles in the end.Therefore, there were many phenomena of foolish filial piety in ancient times. One word of unfilial piety from the elders could knock a person into the dust, but they still couldn't stand up. Under such circumstances, no one would dare to be "unfilial".Especially those who are officials in the court, they must take good care of their parents, otherwise Ding You will be in vain for years of hard work.

Turning his eyes, he saw the concubines who were following behind their respective aunts. Compared with the aunts who were hugged by the old lady, their clothes were very clean, and they stood quietly in front of the set, even with their heads slightly drooping. of.Seeing Yu Lan who had gradually become silent since returning from the Zhixin meeting last time, and Yu Ju who was timidly standing behind, Yu Zhu once again had a more intuitive and deeper understanding of the difference between concubine and concubine.

Finally, the excitement passed, and the old lady was tired, so she ordered the eldest lady in charge to organize the wedding banquet and celebrate it well, and only then did the crowd disperse.

"The third younger siblings are truly a great blessing. The eldest son is so upbeat." The men still had things to do, they just took a leave of absence and hurried to the outer courtyard as soon as they came back.The female relatives were not in a hurry, chatting while walking.The eldest wife smiled suddenly, with a bit of envy in her eyes: "It would be great if my Zongshou's health could be better."

Cui Shi didn't dare to neglect, she hurriedly said with a smile: "Young master will take care of himself, sister-in-law, don't worry."

The second wife, Liang Shi, who had been silent all this time, also spoke out at the right time: "With the elder sister-in-law and the eldest young mistress watching over, the eldest and young master are sure to be safe, and maybe the elder sister-in-law will be able to hold a grandson next year."

"Yes, yes." This is the Fourth Wife, Mrs. Zhao. The turmoil of the Ninth Young Master's incident gradually subsided, and she returned to the gentle and easy way before.

The eldest lady smiled expectantly, and said bluntly: "You guys are thinking too far. I only hope that he is safe and sound. How dare I expect a grandson." Let's marry Brother Yan, have you taken a fancy to any girl?"

Cui replied cautiously: "Don't worry, my master said that March [-]th is the palace examination, so don't ignore it. Let him study in the study for a little celebration recently, and talk about the marriage after these things have passed."

"Oh, that's right." Fan didn't bother, it happened that there was a fork in front of the road, and everyone dispersed.

Cui frowned and thought about it for a long time, but still felt that something was wrong, so she brought Lin Yuanzhi back at night and told him what happened during the day.Worried: "Sister-in-law will definitely not ask about Brother Yan's marriage for no reason. Could it be that she wants to intervene?"

Lin Yuanzhi played with an exquisite black purse, looking very relaxed and casual: "What are you worrying about, there is an old lady on it, how can you arrange Brother Yan's marriage so casually." He offered the treasure He held up the purse in his hand and showed it to Cui Shi: "My girl just made this for me. It's really beautiful. The embroidered pine tree feels like it's hard to handle."

Mrs. Cui leaned over to have a look, she was really pretty, and she muttered in her heart, this girl really doted on her for nothing, and she didn't know how to make one for her mother.

--------

In the north courtyard.

Fan's family had just sent away Aunt Song, who was licking her face and asking for cloth to make clothes for Lin Zongqin. When she saw Lu's mother coming in, she immediately lost her composure and asked eagerly, "Is it all done? What did mother say?"

Mother Lu closed the door with a smile, turned around and replied, "Madam, don't worry, the old lady loves you. As soon as the old slave said, she immediately agreed, and after a few days, I will send Miss Six to stay here for a few days."

When Fan heard the satisfactory answer, she wanted to laugh but couldn't, she lazily leaned back on the autumn-colored golden thread pillow, and murmured: "Why does she love me..."

Mother Lu's lips trembled twice, and she wanted to say something, but she just sighed and stood aside.

Those who like, love, love, what are they nothing in the face of family interests?It's all just pretending to be confused, and speaking it out is just adding to the sadness.
