Painting Tang Jiao

Chapter 172
In the end, I got definite news about the fourth girl from Rong Chen.

Not knowing if she really wanted to be ahead of her, the two parties quickly settled on their marriage.He would only say to the outside world that Wu's visit to see the fourth girl was for Rong Feng's sake.

Now it's just a matter of joy.

Rong Feng is Rong Chen's younger brother, and the Wu family is the bastard son of Rong Tian.

It's just the bastard's marriage, who would really care about it, and it's just a decision.Even if Rong Tian and Wu Shi regard this as a master, others with some status and reputation will not surrender their status to participate, at most they will just send someone to send a gift.

It's still good.

Qing Huan said with a slight smile: "Even if the fourth girl is getting married, I can't miss this makeup gift. In a few days, send someone to see her off."

Xiang Nong answered in a low voice.

This topic is over.

Qing Huan really didn't have that much time to pay attention to the fourth girl, mainly because Yan Jun's matter was too important to her.

"Girl, don't worry. The young master has already made the preparations." People from the princess' mansion are all helping to take care of it, how could it be inappropriate for you, Mancao, who is the only one who knows the truth, whispered in her heart.

Qing Huan paced back and forth, and looked out again after a while.

"This is coming to an end tomorrow, why don't you come back today? Didn't you say you will come back today?"

Mancao said: "Perhaps he was left to talk for a while, girl, don't worry."

I really want to say that it’s not long since I had breakfast. Although it’s today, maybe I’ll be back before dinner?But Mancao knew how her daughter was feeling, and she was just thinking about it in her heart.

When Yan Jun comes back.

It was almost noon.

"Quick, let the servants prepare lunch."

While giving orders, Qing Huan trotted out to greet her.

Yan Jun stood there with a smile, watching her sister run over.

"oops……"

Yan Jun's smile faltered, and she covered her head.

"You bastard, it's only been a few days since you left, and you don't know how to come back sooner." Qing Huan slapped him again unceremoniously.

Yan Jun smiled helplessly.

I can't explain that he has no sense of security inside, and he is afraid that he will disappoint his sister, so he wants to learn more and write more articles.

In fact, it is just a child's test...

Like Yan Jun when she was a child, Qing Huan reached out to hold his hand and walked into the main room.

"The chicken I bought in the mountains is said to be the most nutritious. Early in the morning, before dawn, Youyuan boiled it over a slow fire. Just in time...you come back at this time, and the chicken soup is about the same gone."

"Are you hungry?" After a pause, he asked again: "I wanted to prepare tomorrow's exam for you, but Brother Rong sent someone to say that everything is ready."

Yan Jun nodded: "Grandpa Consort has experience, and the people in the princess' mansion also know the rules, so I'll help with the arrangement." After thinking about it, I still think it's better to talk to my sister.

"Tomorrow... my sister will not have to send me there. Brother Rong said to send me there."

Qing Huan frowned, as if disapproving.

"Tomorrow... Uncle Ruyang's son will be in charge of the guards."

Qing Huan's eyes sharpened, and she looked at Yan Jun: "How much do you... know."

Yan Jun pursed her mouth, stubborn and determined.

"Girl, master..."

Mancao who arrived was seeing the siblings looking at each other.

Qing Huan turned her head first.

"Let's go, let's eat first." The others will talk after eating.

Yan Jun raised his heels.

"The young master is back. The chicken soup is simmering just right. I put in the noodles again. I just want to have shredded chicken noodles first." Youyuan said with a smile.

Qing Huan nodded towards Yan Jun.

Yan Jun Mimi smiled: "I'm really hungry too."

Youyuan hurriedly brought over the noodles, and Que'er brought a cup of clear tea beside her, so as not to overeat and greasy.

Qing Huan took a sip of tea and sipped lightly.

"elder sister?"

Yan Jun took a few bites and stopped to look at Qing Huan.

"Eat it, I have already eaten it."

Mancao's lips squirmed slightly, and then gently closed them again.

Yan Jun didn't think much about it.

After eating, Qing Huan didn't talk to him like he thought.

"Go and have a good rest. Don't read books today. Cultivate for a day, and do whatever you like. Tomorrow, I will ask the servants to wake you up."

Only then did Yan Jun understand Qing Huan's intentions.

I'm afraid I don't want to affect his exam.

But it just so happens that Yan Jun hasn't figured out how to explain it to Qing Huan yet.

With Qing Huan's order in the mansion, the servants were careful when doing things, for fear of disturbing the young master.

In this atmosphere, the second day soon arrived.

Qing Huan accompanied Yan Jun to have breakfast.

Halfway through, someone outside said that Mr. Rong is coming.

"Go please."

After Rong Chen came in, he heard Qing Huan ask: "Brother Rong has finished his breakfast? If you don't mind, why don't you use some too?"

Rong Chen looked at Qing Huan.

Qing Huan blushed suddenly.

There were so many emotions in this person's eyes.

"Okay, brother-in-law, come quickly." Yan Jun didn't wait for Rong Chen to answer, and pulled Rong Chen to sit down.

Qing Huan couldn't help but glared at him, then nodded to Xiang Nong who was beside him.

Xiang Nong brought a bowl of japonica rice porridge, and a plate of steamed stuffed buns, a small one that Yan Jun liked very much, and he could eat one in one bite.

Qing Huan specially asked people to prepare more today, just in time for Rong Chen to catch up.

But he didn't know that.

After dinner, Rong Chen sent Yan Jun into the carriage, and got on the horse by himself.

Qing Huan stood at the door and watched the two leave.

It was three days before we met again.

Yan Jun's complexion was not very good, but fortunately, it was only a little pale.

"Jun'er..."

"Let him rest for a while." Rong Chen said with a straight face.

Rong Chen is not in charge of this scientific examination, Gu Er just went over occasionally to have a look these few days, but met He Jitong, the eldest son of Uncle Ruyang several times.

But Rong Chen's mind at that time was attracted by the candidate who occasionally fainted and carried him out.

Simply...after Yan Jun waited all this time to come out, she was still in good spirits.

But how many more times will I suffer next?

Thinking of this... Rong Chen's brows could almost kill mosquitoes.

Qing Huan was taken aback.

"Hurry up... help the young master to the yard." Qing Huan hurriedly called for someone to help her, and she also held up her skirt to keep up, but she ran for a few steps and stopped, turning her head to look at Rong Chen.

"you……"

The two spoke together.

Qing Huan was slightly surprised.

"You speak first……"

together again...

puff...

Qing Huan couldn't help laughing, looking at Rong Chen with a serious face, but the red ears betrayed him.

"You go first, I will pick up Jun'er in a few days." Rong Chen said.

Qing Huan nodded.

Neither of them thought about whether Yan Jun would have passed the test or not.

One turned around and went to Yan Jun's, while the other left the mansion.

A few days later, the list was released.

There had already been news that Yan Jun had passed.

Qing Huan happily asked people to reward her servants.

When everyone didn't notice, Yan Jun breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

Then there are two more exams.

By the time it's over, it's almost March.

The list will not be announced until three days later.

Qing Huan felt sorry for Yan Jun's hard work this month, and did not mention it in front of his face.

Even if you don't pass the exam, it's nothing.It's a big deal to take the exam next time. Qing Huan really wants to tell Yan Jun like this, but she is afraid that if she tells Yan Jun before the results are obtained, it will make him sad.

……

After He Jitong escorted the examination papers and the chief examiner to leave, he rode back to the mansion.

"Father..."

He Jitong's eyes flashed, and just as he was about to approach, another servant approached.

He Jitong waved his hand towards the man.

The servant came over and said, "Your Majesty, madam, please go."

He Jitong pursed his lips: "Who came here today?"

"The old lady of the Marquis of Weiyuan."

He Jitong's eyes turned cold.

While the servant was trembling, he dropped the next sentence to understand.

He Jitong went back to the yard to change his clothes, and the person who appeared before reappeared.

Princess Anping is fifteen years old..."

He Jitong's face darkened.

"What else?"

"By the way, the son asked the investigation to have the result. Then Master Zhao Xiaohou is really like this... These days he is drunk every day."

"Understood, you go down first."

He Jitong washed his face before going to Mrs. Ru Yangbo.

"Mother."

"You're back." Madam Ru Yang said beamingly.

He Jitong hummed.

"Aren't you tired? It's over." Madam Ru Yang smiled and held a bowl of tea.

Comrade He Ji said: "I only have to wait for three days to post the list, but... I will go out in a few days, about three months."

"Why is there something else?" Mrs. Ru Yangbo said dissatisfied.

He Jitong frowned: "Mother, this is an errand."

"Hi..." Mrs. Ru Yangbo said awkwardly: "I know, let's talk about it when you come back." Princess Anping is the only daughter of Concubine Song, but now there are only a few people who can make Concubine Song look up to her. indivual.Concubine Song loved her daughter dearly, and she hoped that Princess Anping would have a smooth life after marriage.

That's why he asked He Jitong to meet Princess Anping first.

In the eyes of the people of Uncle Ruyang's mansion, how could others look down on her son? As long as He Jitong agreed to this marriage, it would be a sure thing, but there was such an errand.

Time must be pushed forward.

After He Jitong left, the people of Uncle Ruyang's mansion sent a message to Weiyuanhou's mansion, specifically stating that it was for Weiyuanhou's old lady. Today's Weiyuanhou's mansion is not the same as the old lady's and old Houye's at that time. Only they have the final say.

He Jitong didn't care about Mrs. Ruyang's sitting movements, but quickly dressed up and left Beijing.

Going back and forth like this happened to miss Qing Huan's departure from the pavilion.

Qing Huan didn't know about these things.

The whole mansion is immersed in Yan Jun's happy event.

"Although I didn't pass the entrance examination for Linsheng, it's still an increase in growth. Anyway, a family like ours doesn't lack the few taels of silver a month for Linsheng. It would be great to be admitted as a scholar. I'm only ten years old, and I will take the entrance examination in a few years." Juren, our Jun'er is doing well." Mrs. Xu came to the mansion early in the morning, and after hearing the news, she said to Qing Huan with a smile.

Qing Huan naturally doesn't care about these.

Linsheng, Zengsheng, and epiphysis are all just one type of scholar, and Qing Huan doesn't care about the different coins.Now Yan Jun has the reputation of a scholar, although it is not as good as when the third master was alive.

But Sanfang is also a serious and famous person now, not a white body who bullies at will.

Of course... At present, there is no one who can't think about bullying the third room.

Qing Huan smiled slightly and said: "Auntie is right. There is one thing I want to hear from you. I thought... this is a good thing after all, and we must prepare a banquet, but I..."

Qing Huan is now waiting to be married, but it is not suitable to appear on such a scene.

Mrs. Xu understood what she meant as soon as she heard it, and said with a smile: "We, the elders, will naturally help us out in these matters. I see...then I will invite your eldest wife over there, and the two sides will prepare a game together. , and don’t restrict other people, just get together and get together.”

There are only a few people that Qing Huan and siblings know in Beijing.

Even if there is a big scene, people who don't know will come.

Might as well just come like this.

When March is removed.

Mrs. Xu and the eldest wife entertained everyone in the three-bedroom house.

Qing Huan did not show up.

Rong Chen had to come over when he saw Zhao Yang.

Rong Chen's face moved slightly, too fast for anyone to see.

"You...you're fine."

When Zhao Yang spoke, his voice was a bit lonely.

He thought he could see Qing Huan when he came here today, but he didn't even see a shadow.It wasn't until seeing Rong Chen that she remembered that she was getting married and couldn't come out.

Rong Chen nodded expressionlessly.

In his opinion, the wife he chooses is naturally good, and there is no need for other men to mention it.

At the same time, I was secretly annoyed by Zhao Yang's actions. Fortunately, it was me. If someone else met a man like this, he would think that his wife had something to do with him.

Zhao Yang looked at Rong Chen's expression, and said awkwardly after a while, "No wonder he chose you."

He expressed it so bluntly just now, maybe he meant to test Rong Chen.

If Rong Chen flew into a rage, then he would have a reason.

Go tell Qing Huan that this person is not suitable, but the right person...

Is it yourself?

Zhao Yang felt a little sad.

He didn't know when he started to like someone so much, care about her, and care about her.But...he himself has no ability at all.

Everyone said he was the young master.

But besides such a title?anything else?

Also going to southern Xinjiang...

Rong Chen was an official who immediately became a fourth-rank official.

And he himself just took a dispensable empty title, and he is still interested in rewarding it.

"Recently there is still some unrest in southern Xinjiang." Rong Chen finally spoke, but he talked about something else.

Zhao Yang's gaze changed.

The two were talking in low voices.

Zhao Yang's expression gradually became more and more serious.

"Brother Rong, Brother Zhao..."

Yan Jun came out from Cheng Jingxin's side, saw the two were talking, and hurriedly greeted them from a distance.

Rong Chen raised his head and smiled slightly at him.

Zhao Yang also twitched the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, Yan Jun walked over.

"What are you talking about?"

There was a hint of probing in the words, Zhao Yang's feelings for his sister.Yan Jun also knows a little bit, but compared with Rong Chen, is he a suitable candidate?

The water in the Yongyihou's mansion is too deep, and there are too many people.

The more people, the deeper the water.

A small thing can be complicated.

Zhao Yang smiled: "I haven't congratulated you yet, little scholar."

Yan Jun wrinkled her nose, and seemed a little dissatisfied with the fine print.

Rong Chen said, "Don't drink."

Yan Jun suddenly had a bitter face.

"Do you have any ideas? Should you stay in the mansion and I'll find you a husband to teach you, or go to the academy."

When it comes to serious matters, Yan Jun said seriously: "It's better to stay in the mansion."

There were two siblings.

Yan Jun couldn't bear to let her sister be alone.

Even if she is married, Yan Jun always wants to let the world know that there is a place in Beijing that is Qing Huan's natal family.She can come back anytime.

Rong Chen nodded.

Yan Jun saw that the atmosphere between the two was quite harmonious, and thought there was nothing wrong, and because someone called him again, she had to go over to socialize.

After he left, Zhao Yang took out a small box from his arms.

Rong Chen raised his eyebrows.

Zhao Yang said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up."

Rong Chen pursed his lips, and finally took the box and put it in his arms.

……

Yan Jun took the time to discuss with Qing Huan.

Finally, Qing Huan agreed to his study in the mansion, but there was only one condition: to meet the invited gentleman.

Yan Jun naturally agreed.

It's just that Rong Chen suffers.

Rong Chen had to find time to go out and find someone.

At the end of March, I finally found a person, also a Juren.

But his literary talent is excellent, he failed the exam three times, and the last time was due to an accidental illness.The second time, something happened suddenly at home, and he left without finishing the exam.

And the third time, the examiner didn't like his writing.

After going down like this three times, the man gave up the idea of ​​continuing the imperial examination.

Although many people persuaded him, with his talents, he will win next time.

But that person disagreed, and his name was Liu.

After Qing Huan looked at it through the screen, she thought it was good.

Yan Jun is also happy.

It was settled.

For this reason, Qing Huan specially asked someone to pull out a yard, and asked two maids and two servants to serve Mr. Liu specially, with a new set of clothes every month.

The dowry was even more expensive.

In this way, Mr. Liu agreed.

However, he also made a request, hoping to take over his wife and children.

Mr. Liu is about 35 years old.

Qing Huan found out that there was a boy in his family who was about the same age as Yan Jun, so she agreed and asked someone from the house to pick him up, hoping that Yan Jun would not be alone by then.

When the Liu family arrives.

Qing Huan met once, and Mrs. Liu was a person who talked little but had a gentle personality. Although the boy from the Liu family was naughty, he was also an extremely smart person.

Only then did Qing Huan feel relieved.

With someone to accompany Yan Jun to study with Mr. Liu, even if she is married, she will not be too lonely.

So these trifles down.

In a blink of an eye, it will be April.

Qing Huan's birthday is approaching.

The age of 15 is the gift of Jidi, although Qing Huan is unwilling to make a big deal, but she can't stand Yan Jun's request.

Xu Shi and Li Wanyin also persuaded.

Only then nodded in agreement.

However, this Jidi gift was only invited from acquaintances.

Qing Huan is impatient with many people, and the wedding date is only a few days away.

After thinking about it, everyone agreed.
