The Chronicle of the Rebirth of the First Daughter

Chapter 160 Brother Marriage
In the middle of the night, the lights in almost all the rooms of the Meng Mansion were turned on.

First, the houses of the eldest young master and the eldest lady were brightly lit, then the lights in the house of the master Meng Zhiwen were turned on one after another, and then the old lady, Liu Mei, etc., for a while, only the lights of Meng's house lit up half the street.

The watchman passed by the gate of the Meng Mansion and saw that the lanterns in the mansion were brightly illuminated, and the whole courtyard was shaking like daylight, so he couldn't help shaking his head: "It's a big family after all, how about the Duke's Mansion? Look, it's not like that." Same, so you are not afraid of burning candles."

While talking, the watchman knocked on the gong twice, and shouted at the top of his voice: "The sky is dry and the things are dry, be careful of the candles."

Another older watchman stretched out his hand and tugged at his ear: "What are you yelling, be careful and get beaten later."

In a blink of an eye, the two of them arrived at the corner, and the older watchman pointed at the Meng Mansion: "Do you know what day it is? It's the day of the emperor's father's palace examination. Those who can enter the palace to meet the emperor are all stars from the sky. Well, the eldest son of the Meng family is qualified to enter the palace this time, so why don't you leave early?"

While talking, he looked at the previous watchman with disdain, and tugged at him: "Let's go, let's go, common people don't dare to say more about the affairs of big families."

Meng Mansion

Yuechan's face was a little pale, she was tired these few days, she must have worked hard with the reputation of managing government affairs, seeing that Meng Haoyu must have won this time, she came to the Meng family to congratulate There are many people every day, and Yuechan has to socialize every day, and it is uncomfortable to say something insincere.

Woke up in the middle of the night today, busy in the kitchen, made some meat porridge for Haoyu, sitting on the side watching Haoyu devouring the meat porridge, Yuechan couldn't help laughing, as long as Haoyu Well, it's okay if she's tired.

Looking at the small portrait of her birth mother Su Shi hanging in Haoyu's room, Yuechan stood up, took a joss stick and lit it, not afraid that the floor tiles would be too cold, so she knelt down, put her hands together and closed her eyes, thinking silently : Mother, have you seen it all? You fought so hard to get Yuechan to come back to life again. Seeing it, will you be very happy? Yuechan doesn't know whether she is doing well or not, right or wrong, but Yuechan will definitely protect her brother, mother must rest assured, and must bless her brother and father well .

After silently reading, Yuechan stood up, seeing that Haoyu had finished eating the meat porridge, she pulled him over and said with a smile: "Brother also give a stick of incense to mother, and let mother bless my brother that everything goes well in the palace exam."

Haoyu nodded, took the incense in Yuechan's hand, lit it, respectfully offered to Su's statue, closed his eyes and read a few words, before turning around, he might as well hear a clear voice: "Haoyu, for the father Tell me about the rules of the imperial examination."

Haoyu turned his head abruptly, and was surprised to see his father Meng Zhiwen standing at the door of the room, staring at him with a smile on his face.

Yuechan hurried over with a smile, took Meng Zhiwen's hand, forced him to sit in the chair, and handed him a bowl of hot meat porridge: "I'm afraid Daddy hasn't eaten anything, hurry up and drink some while it's hot. "

While talking, she sat on the side with her chin resting on her back, staring at Meng Zhiwen in a daze, and she was still chanting: "Yuechan also listened to Daddy talk about the rules of the palace exam."

Meng Haoyu looked at her, she was also a cola, so he found a seat beside Yuechan and sat down, watched Meng Zhiwen finish drinking the meat porridge, and then listened to his explanation for a while, noticing everything that should be paid attention to, keeping it in his heart, watching It was getting late, so I got up to leave the house.

Meng Zhiwen and Yuechan kept sending Meng Haoyu to the second gate, but saw the old lady waiting there with the whole house, the old lady was full of joy, Liu Mei smiled insincerely, Yue Ting looked annoyed, I'm afraid it's because of Haoyu's matter that she gets up early.

Yue'e can also be a human being, she smiled and bowed: "Sister, I wish my brother a success in this palace examination, and when the time comes, our family can also happily celebrate my brother."

Meng Haoyu received this kindness, smiled at Yue'e, knelt down and licked three heads at the old lady, got up, straightened his clothes and went out.

The female relatives stayed in the second gate, Meng Zhiwen sent Haoyu to the gate all the way, and did not turn back to the mansion, but insisted on sending Meng Haoyu to the gate of the palace
Meng Haoyu couldn't refute his love for his son, so he had no choice but to let him happily send it over.

Afterwards, Meng Haoyu and several tributes were inspected by the guards at the gate of the palace, and when they entered the palace, the young eunuchs waited on them and changed their clothes. Everyone came out with gouache and rouge on their faces. There was even a big red flower planted on it, and I don't know how there are such bright flowers in this late spring season.

Meng Haoyu looked at it, and when he saw Huo Sicheng, he couldn't help but want to laugh, thinking that this was in the palace, he just endured it.

Huo Si grew up handsome, a fairy-like figure, now being treated by the little eunuchs, wearing flowers on his head, powder on his face, he looks like a beautiful beauty in a painting, when he came out, several people looked at him God shook.

On the contrary, Meng Haoyu is also handsome, but he has a lot of masculinity. After such a rectification, he does not appear feminine, and only makes people praise him, he is such a wishful man.

Along the way, the little maids were all peeking at these heavenly favored sons, and when they saw Huo Sicheng and Meng Haoyu, they were secretly shy, thinking how wonderful it would be if they could also find such a gentleman.

It is only said that a few tributes entered the Golden Palace, and someone had come to settle them, and even hundreds of civil and military officials were watching.

For a while, Emperor Tianchen came into the palace, looked at the new subjects, and then asked people to hand out the examination papers, and let the tributes do the questions themselves.

Meng Haoyu sat in his seat, thinking hard about the topic of the policy, thinking that Emperor Tianchen couldn't sit still, he got off the dragon chair, walked around among several tributes, and when he came to Meng Haoyu's side, he deliberately After staying for a while, seeing the square and strong handwriting on his examination paper, he couldn't help secretly applauding, sure enough, Meng Yuechan's elder brother is also good, just from this handwriting, one can tell that he must be a decent person. "

Meng Haoyu didn't know what Emperor Tianchen was thinking, but he was extremely nervous, fearing that something bad would offend the emperor.

He took a few deep breaths before he calmed down. After thinking for a while, he picked up his pen and began to write policy theory.

The golden hall was peaceful, and after a while, the eunuch came to collect the papers, and everyone presented the papers respectfully, all waiting aside.

Emperor Tianchen sat down and read the examination paper carefully. After a while, he raised his head and said loudly, "Which one is Meng Haoyu?"

Meng Haoyu's heart tightened, and he hurried forward to respond: "Your Majesty, this humble minister is Meng Haoyu."

Because he had passed the Juren and had a title on him, he became a minister.

Emperor Tianchen sized him up and smiled: "Sure enough, he is a young talent. You have done a good job in this strategy!"

Meng Haoyu was secretly happy, and said a few words modestly, but Emperor Tianchen continued to ask: "Which one is Huo Sicheng!"

Huo Sicheng clasped his hands and stepped forward to salute. Emperor Tianchen looked at the pair of talented people standing in front of him, saw that these two people were handsome and romantic, and thought that what they wrote in the test papers had something to say, but Huo Sicheng's strategy was even better. It shows that this person is a man with a lot of heart, and although Meng Haoyu writes well, he is a little immature. If he is cultivated, he will be a pillar of the country in the future.

Emperor Tianchen was delighted to be able to meet such two characters in the imperial examination this time, he encouraged them with a few words, and began to roll their names with the ink pen.

Not surprisingly, Huo Sicheng won the first prize, and the second place was a steady scholar in his 30s and [-]s, while Meng Haoyu was selected as the No. [-] pick.

Meng Haoyu was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect to win Tanhualang in the palace examination. He thought that with his talent and learning, it would be good to be ranked fifth. This time, the emperor seemed to give him extra face in the palace examination, and he didn't know why. one thing?

How did he know that Emperor Tianchen took Yuechan's idea, so he naturally took care of him.

Outside the palace, several servants of the Meng Mansion waited anxiously, and the whole Meng family had no intention of doing anything else, just waiting for news from Meng Haoyu.

In the afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Fei rode a horse back home, his anxious look made people hang up at the first sight, he got off the horse quickly, before handing over the reins, he shouted loudly: "Quick, go and report The old lady, the master, the lady, and so on, only said that the young master of our family was selected, and Tanhualang was selected by the emperor's imperial pen, and now he is giving a banquet in the palace..."

Before he finished speaking, the concierge had already scrambled into the mansion, shouting as he ran: "Young Master, you must win Tanhualang."

The whole family heard the yelling, and the girl who was waiting at the second gate heard it, and hurriedly ran to report to their respective masters.

Yuechan got the letter, as if she liked it, she quickly incensed Mrs. Su, muttered a few more words, and then took the girl to the old lady's room.

But the old lady smiled and squinted her eyes, sitting upright like a Buddha, chanting Buddha: "Buddha bless, my Meng family is glorious."

Yuechan hurried over to congratulate the old lady, the old lady smiled and asked the girl to help her, looked left and right, and laughed: "Yuechan has taken good care of the housekeeper during this time, so that your brother has no other distractions, that's why she passed the exam. ,well……"

A few good words in succession, Yuechan didn't care much, but made Liu Mei, mother and daughter who came to congratulate her together, sour.

Now the brothers and sisters of Yuechan are in a good time, even Yueting, who is careless, does not dare to push back, so she just sits at the side with a depressed heart, watching Yuechan and the old lady laughing.

The old lady has already ordered repeatedly that the servants in the mansion pay two months' monthly money, and let people hang a thousand firecrackers at the gate of the mansion, so that the whole street will surely hear the festive sound.

After a while, the old lady finished giving her orders, took Yuechan's hand and said with a smile: "Yuechan, now that Yu'er has passed the exam, it's time to start a family and start a business. A few days ago, your wife went out as a guest and happened to meet Huang's family. Madam, she actually said that the daughter-in-law in her house is a good one, and she is a good match with your brother in age. The imperial concubine asked about it, and it was interesting. Just wait for Yuer to come back and talk to him, and keep him happy. .”

In a word, Yuechan lost all joy, her heart sank, and she couldn't help but think about Miss Huangfu.

This Miss Huang's name is Yifang. Yuechan has never seen it in this life, but she has seen it in her previous life. Putting anyone in the eyes, if someone else is not in her temper, she will beat and scold her, or she will die.

In the previous life, when Miss Yifang got married, she made her husband's family turmoil and couldn't find peace. She couldn't do anything herself. All the concubines were beaten to death, and relying on their family background, even if her husband and son-in-law were wrong, she would dare to go up and beat him up, making him a good man, and suppressing him badly.

My elder brother is beautiful and beautiful, how handsome he is, and what kind of wife he can't get, but he doesn't want such a dominatrix.
