Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 230

"Well, the weather is fine, let's go out for a walk." Chen Ruzhu said with a smile.

Just as Tong Jiashi finished saying hello, a woman in an autumn-colored jacket came behind her with her maid, she was Tong Jiashi's mother-in-law.

"Madam Tong." Mrs. Su nodded.

"Hello, Mrs. Chen." Mrs. Tong also nodded with a smile.

"Mingxuan, this is Mrs. Minister of the Ministry of Officials." Su Shi said to Mao Mingxuan.

"I've seen Mrs. Tong." Mao Mingxuan saluted.

Mrs. Tong glanced at him, and said to Su: "This is your nephew who won the number one prize?"

"That's right!" Su suddenly felt a radiance on his face, and said with a smile: "His appointment order has not yet come down, so he still lives in my house."

"You really are a good-looking talent!" Mrs. Tong laughed and said, "Our master said when he came back, this is the first champion in this dynasty to win three prizes in succession! I didn't expect him to be so young!"

"My lord servant is too good." Mao Mingxuan said hastily.

Tong Jiashi also looked at Mao Mingxuan at this moment, seeing his tall and elegant appearance, he couldn't help but take a second look.

"Since we met, let's go together." Su Shi said.

"Okay!" Mrs. Tong said with a smile.

Several people started to walk up the mountain again.

Mao Mingxuan was still at the back, Chen Ruzhu and Tong Jia were in the middle, and Su and Madam Tong were in the front.

When we arrived at the gate of Guangji Temple, we found that all the people queuing up to offer incense had stood outside the gate.

"What day is it today? Why are there so many people here?" Mrs. Tong asked in surprise.

"Yeah, I also find it strange!" Su Shi was also surprised.

Although Guangji Temple is full of incense, except for some special festivals, there are really few times when it is so lively.

"Probably because the weather is better, everyone should take advantage of the incense to go out for an outing." Tong Jia said with a smile.

"Then we can only wait in line," Su said.

"Auntie and Mrs. Tong, why don't you find a place to sit and rest first, I'll line up here." Mao Mingxuan offered.

The ones who came were all female relatives, and he was the only man who had to take some responsibility at this time.

"Alright. I'm afraid I'll have to stand for a while, so I'll have to work hard on you." Su Shi nodded.

"Then there will be Mr. Lao Zhuangyuan." Mrs. Tong smiled.

"It should, it should." Mao Mingxuan was slightly embarrassed.

Mrs. Su and Mrs. Tong took the maid to the back mountain, where there was a stone bench under the tree.

Chen Ruzhu didn't really want to leave. After hesitating for a moment, she plucked up her courage and said, "Er Niang, I want to accompany my cousin. It's very boring for him to stand here by himself."

"It's fine, you young people talk, time flies." Naturally, Su had no objection.She is thinking of matching the two of them now!
"Emiang, I'll accompany Sister Chen." Tong Jiashi said hastily.

Mrs. Tong glanced at her and said with a smile, "That's good too. It's a good thing for you young people to get along more."

So Chen Ruzhu and Tong Jiashi stayed with Mao Mingxuan.Mrs. Su and Mrs. Tong went to find a place to rest.

"Mrs. Chen, this nephew of yours has become a celebrity in the capital! I heard from our master that even the Long Live Lord values ​​it!" Madam Tong said casually.

"Every three years there will be a champion. Everyone is exaggerating." Su said modestly, but the smile on his face became more obvious.

"Don't be modest!" Mrs. Tong said with a smile: "If my family has such a nephew, I will be very happy!"

"It's a pity that he's just a nephew." Su Shi said.

"Just be content. My family doesn't even have such a nephew!" Madam Tong laughed.

Mrs. Su loves to hear this.She thought to herself, it would be great when her nephew became a son-in-law!

"Hey, by the way, is your nephew engaged?" Mrs. Tong asked.

"Ah? No!" Su Shi said, "I'm only seventeen, and I've been thinking about the imperial examination, so my family is still uncertain."

"Yo, so this time I won the number one prize, I'm afraid it will be decided?" Madam Tong said.

"That's natural." Su Shi said, suddenly vigilant in his heart.Tong Jiashi is not engaged yet!Could it be that Mrs. Tong also took a fancy to Mao Mingxuan?

It's hard to say.After all, there are only so many children in the capital, and there are quite a few girls who are eager to get engaged and get married in the past two years.Mao Mingxuan is the new champion, and he is so young, so he has become the object of everyone's consideration!

Before that, she still looked down on Mao Mingxuan.But now it seems that this nephew is still a sweet potato!If the news of winning the No. [-] Scholar reached Yangzhou, Mrs. Chen would rush to make an engagement for him.

Thinking of this, Su Shi hurriedly said: "My brother-in-law has been an official in Yangzhou for many years, and most likely he wants to find a girl for him in Yangzhou City."

"Really!" Mrs. Tong glanced at her, and said: "After becoming the number one scholar, I will soon enter the officialdom. Maybe I will be sent to the local government by the Lord Long Live to become an official. The girls from Yangzhou City and the girls from the capital city What's the difference? Your nephew probably won't return to Yangzhou to be an official."

"That's not something I can worry about. Parents have always been the ones to make decisions about marriage." Su Shi smiled.

"Why can't you be an aunt to worry about. If you have a suitable girl, you can make a connection?" Mrs. Tong said.

"I don't dare to mess around. My sister-in-law is relatively strong." Su said in a low voice on purpose.

Mrs. Tong frowned slightly, and said, "If that's the case, it's really hard to say."

Su Shi nodded and said: "Yes! So, even if I have this heart, I can't open my mouth."

That's all for this topic.Those who have daughters at home naturally don't want their daughters to marry a family with a strong mother-in-law.No matter how powerful the natal family is, the water thrown out by the married daughter.Who knows what kind of bullying the daughter will suffer.Those on the bright side can still be managed, but those in the dark can only be swallowed.

Mrs. Su is well aware of this mentality, so she just deliberately said this to Mrs. Tong.Regardless of whether she has such thoughts or not, let's dismiss it first.

At the gate of Guangji Temple, Chen Ruzhu and Tong Jiashi stood beside Mao Mingxuan, which attracted the eyes of many people in the incense line.

Chen Ruzhu was a little embarrassed at first, but fortunately with Tong Jia's company, it was more natural.

"Mr. Mao is from Yangzhou?" Tong Jia asked.

"En." Mao Mingxuan replied.

"Fireworks go to Yangzhou in March, it's a good place!" Tong Jia said with a smile: "It's a pity that I grew up in the capital, and I have never been to places outside the capital."

Mao Mingxuan smiled, but did not answer.

Chen Ruzhu said: "I'm not the same. We girls in the boudoir really have too few opportunities to go out."

"Sister Chen hasn't been there either? Isn't she and Mr. Mao cousins? Hasn't Sister Chen visited relatives?" Tong Jia said.

"I seem to have been there when I was young, but I don't really remember." Chen Ruzhu said.

At that time, Ama was not an official in the capital, and Aunt Hu had not yet entered the house. The four of them seemed to have gone to Yangzhou to see their aunt and uncle.It's just that she was too young at that time, so she didn't have much memory.
