The black-bellied lord, the first wife is mighty!

Xing'er smiled and invited: "They're all fellow villagers, don't be so restrained, just call me sister like Chai An! There are only Chai An and Chai Hong living in this mansion, why don't you move here too, once you come How about studying with peace of mind, and being able to be a companion with the two of them?"

Duanmu Liufeng was overwhelmed by the flattery, and quickly bowed to salute again: "Thank you, sister princess, Liufeng appreciates it. However, Liufeng should live in Xiangmanlou, where you can discuss knowledge with other candidates, so don't bother me." .”

Xing'er exchanged glances with Shen Jie, then said with a smile: "Forget it, then I'll ask someone to vacate a quiet courtyard in Xiangmanlou, and you can find a few classmates and friends from Lizhou to live there together! The accommodation and meals are all free, just treat it as my contribution to the students in my hometown!"

Duanmu Liufeng hastily declined: "How can this be done? I have brought enough money..." Before he finished speaking, Xing'er interrupted: "Why are you so polite? It's rare that you and An'er hit it off, and it's me again My hometown, I should do something for the students in my hometown, shouldn’t I? Even if you find five or six students with a good relationship and live together in Xiangmanlou, other students from Lizhou, I will find another courtyard placement!"

The next day, candidates from Lizhou were invited to Tianshui Lane, two streets away from Xiangmanlou, where Xing'er had built a five-entry courtyard a year ago.There are 51 people in total. Myolie will provide free accommodation and meals for them from now until the day when the rankings are released, that is, within one and a half months.

Duanmu Liufeng did not live in Xiangmanlou in the end, but insisted on moving to Tianshui Lane. Now it is the time for students to rush for exams. The courtyard behind Xiangmanlou restaurant has long been converted into a high-end inn.For a small courtyard with three main rooms and two wing rooms, the rent for one night is as high as one hundred and fifty taels, which belongs to the top-level guest room.

He lived there with five or six people, and he felt really ashamed.Princess Anran insisted on not accepting the accommodation fee, and Chai An's attitude was also very firm.Besides, 150 taels a day, five people averaged 30 taels a day.There is still half a month before the exam, and I really can't afford to live there, so I have no choice but to move to Tianshui Lane.

Tianshui Lane is a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle, which is very suitable for students to study behind closed doors. There are five courtyards, and each courtyard has many trees.Go out from the fifth entrance yard, turn around two lanes, and you will find a clear river.On the other side of the river, there is a large area of ​​farmland and low hills, with infinite scenery.

Chai An would invite Duanmu Liufeng to Chai Mansion for dinner every now and then, and Xing'er asked the people in the sewing room to make two sets of comfortable and decent clothes and shoes for him.These clothes were designed by Xing'er herself, and they are the most popular in the capital. Dressing up like this makes people look more elegant and handsome.

Ling'er listened to Shen Rui's description of Duanmu Liufeng, with a heart, "thump, thud, thump", she danced so hard!The seeds of love germinated quietly. 13acv.

Duanmu Liufeng's father is the master of Lizhou Academy, and his family is well off, a scholarly family.The family has more than a hundred acres of fertile land, two shops, and three houses, which can be regarded as a big family in Lizhou.He is of medium build, neither fat nor thin, and his complexion is white with a little bit of dark.

Obviously, it is the result of long-term exercise or labor, which is consistent with the investigation results: he exercises every day, often goes to help in the family's farm during his holidays, and has done a lot of farm work, so he is not a parasite who does not distinguish between five grains.It is said that this is in response to the call of Master Tai and Princess Anran: the children of the peasant family should read and write, and be a cultured farmer; parasites.

In other words: Princess Anran Chai Xing'er is also Duanmu Liufeng's idol!Many years ago, he admired Princess Anran and was completely convinced.

When he came to the capital, he accidentally became acquainted with the princess, and the princess's family cared for him very much, sincerely.In Duanmu Liufeng's heart, he gradually developed a family-like friendship with Xing'er and his siblings, and he also felt "heart-beating" towards Ling'er who had "encountered" several times.

The long-awaited spring is finally here!

Shen Jie led Chai An, Chai Hong, Shen Rui, and Chen Xiang to the best Four Treasures of the Study shop in person, and bought the best brushes, inkstones, and test baskets.None of the things that candidates need to use are left behind.Xing'er took Ling'er and cooked the kitchen herself. She prepared exquisite biscuits, crispy fried pork ribs, candies, pancakes, steamed buns, and various fruits suitable for candidates, as well as pills for gastrointestinal discomfort, colds, and headaches. Pills, medicinal oils, and even pills and powders for bruises were also prepared.Refreshing ginger slices, ginseng slices, ginseng tea, scented tea, and mosquito repellent tablets are also available.

Ling'er also hurriedly made a light windbreaker.In the cold spring, this windbreaker can be worn on the body or used as a quilt at night.Thanks to this windbreaker, Duanmu Liufeng was able to withstand the chill of the night and survive the long and cruel exam without falling ill during the exam.

Many candidates were unable to take the final exam due to insufficient preparation and illness.Some reluctantly participated, but because of poor energy and physical strength, they fell short of the standard and failed to perform normally.

When Duanmu Liufeng walked out of the examination room, although his spirit was not very good, compared with other people, he was still much better.He knew in his heart that firstly, it was because he had been exercising and doing farm work in the past few years, and secondly, because Princess Anran's family had prepared him well.If any one of these two items is missing, he will fall ill in this exam in all likelihood!

Gratitude is in my heart.Thinking of Chai An's "speechless" words, she learned that Ling'er is now living a very unhappy life because of the rumors about her divorce.When he returned to Tianshui Lane, he quickly wrote a letter and handed it to the book boy: "Master Dong, please send a bodyguard to go with you to Zaocheng, and invite uncle to come to the capital, and go to Dingguohou's mansion to propose marriage, and ask to marry the Marquis." My younger sister, Miss Linger!"

Zaocheng is about a hundred miles away from the capital, and Duanmu Liufeng's uncle opened an academy there. It only takes two days to go back and forth on a fast horse.Children laugh with pets.

The book boy's eyes lit up, and he happily led away.

Miss Ling'er is an elegant and kind woman, she and the young master can be said to be a natural match.Besides, it is a great thing to be able to become relatives with Princess Anran!Hehe, the young master who is a bit dull when it comes to love has finally opened up!

After taking a shower and changing clothes, after eating a sumptuous dinner, Duanmu Liufeng was so tired that he couldn't hold on anymore, so he fell asleep.This sleep is one day and one night.When he woke up, his uncle was sitting at the desk in front of the window with a smile on his face, concentrating on writing something.

"Young Master, you finally woke up, but I was so frightened, you have been sleeping all day and all night!" Seeing him waking up, the book boy couldn't help being surprised and delighted.

Duanmu Liufeng was surprised: "What? I slept all day and all night?"

"Yes, young master! If you don't wake up, I'm going to ask the doctor to come and see you!" The book boy looked terrified.

"In that case, how did you make it back in one day and one night?" It stands to reason that at least two days would be required to go back and forth!

The book boy laughed and said, "That day, the younger one just walked out of the city gate, and met the old master, who knew that the young master fell asleep when he returned to Tianshui Lane."

Duanmu Liufeng hurriedly greeted his uncle Duanmuyun, "My nephew has seen my uncle, long time no see, how is uncle?"

Duanmuyun looked at his nephew, his face was full of love and comfort: "Liufeng has grown up, everything is fine for uncle! By the way, you can tell uncle in detail about that Ling'er."

"Okay! Uncle, that Ling'er is the sister-in-law of Princess Anran and the younger sister of Marquis Dingguo. She is 15 years old this year. She is both talented and beautiful, kind and lovely... My niece fell in love with her at first sight. If she can marry It will be a happy thing for my nephew to find such a good woman as his wife, please uncle, please go to the Marquis Mansion to propose marriage on behalf of my nephew! Uncle is very kind, and my nephew is very grateful."

After hearing what he said, the smile in Duanmu Yun's eyes became more and more intense and brighter, and he laughed loudly: "Very good! Such a good woman is hard to come by! Tomorrow morning, uncle will go to the street in person Help you buy a marriage proposal gift, and go to propose marriage early the morning after tomorrow! As a token of marriage proposal, I think we will use the crested hairpin that our Duanmu family has passed down for hundreds of years!"

"Fengtou hairpin?" Duanmu Liufeng was startled, and quickly vetoed it: "No! That piece of crested hairpin should be passed on to my sister-in-law, I can't take it!" Fengtou hairpin was always passed on to the eldest grandson of the house, and was given by the eldest grandson. For the eldest daughter-in-law.

"Pedantic!" Duan Muyun glared at him, and scolded: "Rules are dead, but people are alive! Your eldest brother's fiancée is just a farming woman, and the crested hairpin is given to her, and she has no chance to dress up! But you The pride and hope of the juniors of the Duanmu family, this crested hairpin is perfect for you as a token of engagement! Uncle has already thought this way in his heart, and this time he came to the capital, he brought it with him! Just thinking that once you In high school, nine out of ten marriages have to be finalized, so I just brought it to you!"

After several excuses and arguments, his uncle would scold him, so Duanmu Liufeng could only sigh: "Uncle, if this happens, I'm afraid it will cause discord among brothers, and my sister-in-law may also complain in the future."

"Don't worry, I have already discussed with your elder brother about Fengtou Chai! Good things should be used wisely! Your elder brother is now farming in his hometown, and your future sister-in-law is a rural girl. Giving the hairpin to her is a waste!" Uncle waved his hand proudly, and made a final decision: "That's it, I'm the elder, I have the final say on this matter, you can't help but agree!"

The younger sister of Lord Dingguo, the daughter of Duke Zhen, and the sister-in-law of Princess Anran, don't have a decent engagement token, is it plausible?Duanmuyun's nephew will never be underestimated by others!

Duanmu Liufeng only felt the infinite warmth in his heart, and respectfully saluted and kowtowed: "Thank you uncle, that nephew is worse than obedience!"
