Unparalleled Fortune in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 47
After returning from Tantuo Temple, the Shu Mulu clan became even busier. The more wealthy the family, the more cumbersome the wedding etiquette. You can't make mistakes if you are born unborn, or if it spreads, it will be a joke after dinner.

Shu Mulu's nature is as careful as it is.

Since she was so busy, she naturally had no time to take care of Tong Cheng'er. Except for the routine greetings every day, Tong Cheng'er lived an unfettered life.

Three letters and six ceremonies, once the itinerary was gone, a month had passed by the time the marriage between Tong Xuewen and Guaerjiashuyu was finalized.

After the marriage was settled, Tong Cheng'er's second sister-in-law was considered stable. As for the wedding date, it was set in May next year.

The reason is also simple, next year Tong Xuewen will take the imperial examination next year, the examination will be held in February, the palace examination will be in March, the results will be available in April, the dust has almost settled in May, and it is just right to get married.

Tong Xuewen's knowledge, if there are no accidents, naturally there is no problem. If he passes the exam in April, he will be named on the gold list plus bridal chamber flowers and candles. If he fails the exam, he will also get married. After all, Tong Xuewen is indeed at the age of marriage.

The matter is settled, Tong Xuewen has a fiancée, but in fact, the life is not much different from before. If there is, it can only be busier. Tomorrow's imperial examination, success or failure depends on one action Well, he is indeed quite talented in studying, but no matter how talented he is, it will be futile if he doesn't work hard.

In the Qing Dynasty, so many candidates participated in the imperial examination, but in the end only two or three hundred people were selected. If he didn't work hard, why would he have the quota.

Although Tong Cheng'er didn't experience it personally, but as a fairly competent sister, she saw it all in her eyes, and then felt really bitter!It was much harder than when she was in the college entrance examination.

Then she could only watch him work hard by eating and drinking, and then hugged him in vain to cheer him up.

Seeing Tong Cheng'er's comfortable and comfortable appearance, Tong Xuewen wanted to beat someone up, but seeing Tong Cheng'er's face, he couldn't even bear to preach.

On Yinzhen's side, after being disappointed that his illness is not getting better, it is inevitable that he will pay attention to Tong Cheng'er. After all, Tong Cheng'er is the only woman who will not see the "disgusting" picture since he ejaculates.

In other words, Tong Cheng'er is special to him, and this specialness made him unable to help but start paying attention to her.

After paying attention, he realized that this girl seems to have a simple life and a little lazy, which inevitably reminded Yinzhen of what he overheard when he first met her.

Because Alhatu kept himself clean, he didn't even have a house in the backyard except Shu Mulu's, so Tong's backyard was very simple, and there weren't too many intrigues. The content Yinzhen found about Tong Cheng'er was also very simple.

What Xu Zhen found out: his hobby is actually reading scripts, and his talent is only able to catch the eye. The next thing is that he can't even handle a needle and thread. Recently, he raised a female cat named Baibai, and he doted on her very much. ...

When Yinzhen saw this content, on the one hand, he felt that this girl is no wonder her mother-in-law was worried about marrying off, and on the other hand, she couldn't help yearning for this harmonious family atmosphere.

Although Tong Cheng'er's life does not meet the standards of a noble girl, she lives a comfortable life, except for some special things that cannot be used, Yinzhen feels that her life is not as good as hers!
He was a little envious in his heart, and he couldn't help but think of Yongzheng who was exhausted in his dream, and then yearned for Tong Cheng'er's way of life even more.

So Yinzhen added another daily hobby, which is to start watching Tong Cheng'er's daily life regularly, which is similar to reading a diary. Reading it when you are unhappy will always make you feel better, which is especially useful.

Because Tong Cheng'er's daily life seems to be very happy every day, with no worries at all, even Yinzhen's face is a little more popular.

……

The days passed quickly, and another year passed in the blink of an eye. Yinzhen did several errands with the crown prince, and they all did well, especially the errands in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which made Kangxi see Yinzhen's plasticity.

At the end of the year, Kangxi always wanted to reward some courtiers and sons who he thought had done a good job this year, and Yinzhen was specially praised. In contrast, the third elder brother, who had just been allowed by Kangxi to re-enter Chaotang didn't do any of the errands.

The elder brothers next to him were praised for their seriousness in reading even if they were still studying, and even the ten elder brothers who were the least caring about reading were praised by Kangxi for "improving their writing".

It is conceivable that the third elder brother will not be in a good mood.

So when he returned to his elder brother's office, he couldn't help but lose his temper. A concubine happened to hit the muzzle of a gun and was severely punished.

After the new year, Tong's family put all their eyes on Tong Xuewen, after all, he will take part in the examination in less than two months.

Mrs. Shu Mulu thinks about making food and drink for his son every day, so that he will have a good body. There will be three trials, one in three days, and it is February again, but the weather is still cold!If the health is not good, one is not very sick and affects the exam, then three years of hard work will be in vain.

Alhatu also gives some pointers on his strategies from time to time, and also gives him a popular science about the preferences and habits of this year's chief examiner...

In addition, Liu Shaoyi, who lives as a guest in the house, is also quite spiritual in reading. Tong Xuewen often discusses literature with him, and both of them feel that they have benefited a lot.

Tong Xuewen couldn't help sighing in his heart, if it wasn't for keeping his filial piety, brother Shao Yi would definitely be on the list, but it's a pity that it will be delayed for another three years, and the two of them won't be able to be in the same year.

Everyone in the house circled around Tong Xuewen, and Tong Cheng'er thought that her second brother would have nothing to say to her on weekdays, so she decided not to circle around for nothing for the time being.

But she doesn't know the four books and five classics, so she can't help much.

"You tell me what should I do to help my second brother."

Rulan and Ruxue are also worried, how do they know where Gege can help the second master, but Gege can't help with reading, and Fujin is in charge of life, Gege's temper, Fujin probably dare not hand over the matter of the second master Start it for Greg.

The three of them thought together for a long time, and Ruxue suggested: "If not, prepare a big cloak for the second master to try on. In February, the weather is very cold, and it is easy to get sick if you don't wear something thicker. There are still a lot of fur in Gege's warehouse, which is just right. Useful."

Ru Lan suggested: "In addition to the cloak, you can also prepare for the food and writing during the exam. I will take a test for three days, and I won't be able to get out for three days. I will live and eat inside. It's freezing cold. If I don't eat well, I will definitely feel uncomfortable. .”

When Tong Cheng'er heard the words, she had a flash of inspiration, and she had an idea. She doesn't know how to make clothes, and the craftsmanship of the people in her yard is not as good as that of Er Niang's yard, so she won't join in the fun with the cloak, but the food She could work harder.

For so many years in modern times, she has lived a hard life, so she has done a lot of part-time jobs, learned a lot of skills, worked part-time in restaurants, and even went to fast food processing factories during winter and summer vacations.

For some instant food like instant noodles, she still has some experience. Although she has been lazy for more than ten years, she can still remember the principle of instant noodles.

Tong Cheng'er imagined that others in the tribute courtyard were eating snacks and dry food, and the second brother was eating delicious instant noodles with soup. That scene would definitely make others drool with envy.

Thinking of this in her heart, Tong Cheng'er began to say to Ru Lan: "Go to the kitchen and find two cooks. I have something for them to do. Remember, find those who are quick in hands and feet and flexible in mind."

Rulan: "Yes"

After Rulan left, Ruxue asked, "What is Gege planning to do?"

Tong Cheng'er smiled mysteriously: "You will know when the time comes."

Ru Lan went to the kitchen and said that Ge Ge wanted two cooks to help, many people rushed to sign up, Ru Lan finally picked two steady, honest and clever ones and brought them back.

"Gege, the cook has brought it here."

Tong Cheng'er nodded: "Good job."

The two cooks saluted Tong Cheng'er: "My servant, Juxiang/Xiu Fen has met Ge Ge."

"Get up!"
