In just two sentences, Huo Yan put away his disgusting and affectionate face.
Zhao Xiyan was too lazy to look at Huo Yan anymore. Instead, she smiled at the proud new academicians and said, "Congratulations to all the seniors for this spring high school."
The senior brothers all laughed and said, "Master has taught us painstakingly for several years, but we finally did not embarrass Master."
"The highest ranking is only nineteen, which is far worse than Master's back then!"
This last sentence made everyone burst into laughter.
It took several decades for the Jin Dynasty to produce Zhao Yuanming, who won three yuan in a row. Disciples like them are already very powerful if they can avoid falling into the majesty of the master. There is no possibility of surpassing the master!
Zhao Xiyan also smiled: "I don't know how happy my father will be when the good news comes back to Beihai County."
Xie Lingfeng laughed and joked: "At that time, the threshold of Zhao clan studies will be broken. Master will have a headache again because of too many students."
Everyone laughed again.
The spring breeze is proud of the horse's hoof. The new scholars are full of ambitions and are in a very happy mood.
Zhao Xiyan congratulated all the senior brothers, stopped staying, and went to the inner hall to talk with Xu Ying.
"Third sister, your belly is so big." Zhao Xiyan exclaimed in a low voice: "I haven't seen you for more than a month, why did it suddenly become so big?"
Xu Ying said with a smile: "After five months, my belly was like an inflated ball, growing very fast. The doctor who diagnosed my pulse said that I must eat less and move more. The baby in my belly has grown too much.
If you are big, you will suffer when you give birth."
Zhao Xiyan had never given birth to a child, so she didn't understand anything about the care and maintenance of a fetus. She followed Xu Ying's words and said, "You have to listen to the doctor."
Xu Ying smiled and hummed, and suddenly whispered: "My mother-in-law sent someone a letter. My sister-in-law's wedding is in May. She wants me to leave for Beihai County now."
Xie Jiao is Xie Lingfeng's biological sister. For such a big event as getting married, it is really inappropriate for a sister-in-law to not show up.
However, Xu Ying obviously didn't want to go back to Xie's house.
Zhao Xiyan thought for a while and said: "After the imperial examination, all new scholars will have three months' leave. At that time, just let the third brother-in-law go back. The third sister's belly is so big, it is not suitable to travel around."
Xu Ying immediately understood and nodded: "I'll write a letter when I get back."
With Xie's parents and grandchildren in her belly, Xu Ying's back straight and confident.
However, in this case, Xu Ying will have to stay alone in the Beihai Palace. When the baby is born, Xie Lingfeng may not be able to return to the capital in time.
Nothing in the world is perfect. Xu Ying didn't want to get involved with her husband's family, but Xie Lingfeng had to fulfill her wishes as a son and brother.
Xu Ying lowered her voice and sighed: "Jizhou won a great victory. Everyone was happy, but I was always worried. It was also the first time for Chunsheng to lead troops into battle. The swords had no eyes on the battlefield, and he had a hot-blooded temper. I was really afraid of him.
One was accidentally injured."
Zhao Xiyan also sighed softly: "I am always worried and worried."
"By the way, Chunsheng wrote back a few days ago. Did he also write to you?"
Zhao Xiyan smiled and hummed. Then she heard Xu Ying muttering that her baby brother was so busy that he didn't even have time to write a letter and only wrote half a page of letter paper.
Zhao Xiyan silently decided to hide her thick letter so that Xu Ying would not see it.
…
After a few days, it will be the imperial examination.
This was Emperor Yongming's first scientific examination after he ascended the throne. No matter how stupid Emperor Yongming was, he still knew the importance of the imperial examination. On the day of the imperial examination, Zhou Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites set out the examination questions. Su Zhangyuan personally presided over the imperial examination. Emperor Yongming was in the Jinluan Hall.
I sat there for most of the day, pretending to read the top ten test papers in person, and personally selected the number one and two flowers.
Luo Hong was indeed the second best in this subject just like in his previous life.
Meng Siyuan was passed on to the second class, and the entire Meng family was overjoyed.
When the good news came to the Su family, Mrs. Yu was overjoyed. Mrs. Su smiled and said: "It is indeed a happy event that the young master of the Meng family is so successful. Mr. Yu, please prepare a generous gift to send to the Meng family."
Mrs. Yu responded with a smile.
Su Jin was filled with joy, her eyes were shining and the corners of her mouth were raised high.
Mrs. Su glanced at Su Jin and suddenly said: "By the way, Mr. Meng is not married yet!"
Su Jin's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat and she quickly lowered her head.
Yu coughed, glanced at her daughter quickly, and replied with a smile: "Yes, Siyuan is actually not too young, he is eighteen years old. Other young men at this age should have married and had children long ago. He is focused on studying and passing the exams.
Because of his fame, the marriage was delayed."
Mrs. Su said unhurriedly: "It's a pity that such a good son was snatched away from others to become a uncle. When you go to send gifts, go and find out what Mrs. Meng has to say. The second bedroom's Huan'er is a hairpin this year and his age is
It is a perfect match for Mr. Meng..."
Su Jin suddenly raised his head, his eyes showing shock and anger.
There are five girls in the Su family. Su Jin ranks third and Su Huan ranks fourth. They are one year younger than Su Jin.
Now that Su Jin's marriage has not been decided, why is it Su Huan's turn?
Or Cousin Siyuan from the Meng family... What is the difference between this and stabbing her heart and lungs with a knife?
Mrs. Yu's expression also changed: "Mother-in-law, I'm afraid this marriage is not appropriate."
Mrs. Su said calmly: "Why is it inappropriate? Mr. Meng comes from a scholarly family and is a new scholar. He is barely worthy of a girl from our Su family."
Yu: "..."
Su Jin's face turned red, tears welled up in her eyes, but she was too stubborn to fall.
Mrs. Su glanced around, and all the maids on the side withdrew.
"Grandma," Su Jin ignored Yu's winks and knelt down to beg: "Cousin Siyuan and I are in love, please grandma help us!"
Mrs. Su sneered and narrowed her eyes. At this time, Mrs. Su didn't look at all peaceful and kind like she usually did: "Jin'er, I will go out of my way to find the position of the Crown Princess for you."
"Don't you think that the crown prince can't get a wife? If you were not a girl from the Su family, how would you be able to take the position of crown princess?"
"Except for being physically weaker, the prince is outstanding in everything. He has a good appearance, a smart mind, and a generous temperament. The Queen is your biological aunt. She loves you very much and calls you into the palace from time to time. With such a marriage, what else do you have?
Not satisfied?"
Su Jin's eyes turned red and she bit her lip hard: "I know everything my grandmother said. The prince's cousin is indeed very good, but I only have a brother-sister relationship with him. What I really like is cousin Siyuan.
I also want to get married..."
"You should stop this thought for me as soon as possible." Mrs. Su interrupted Su Jin coldly: "Listen to me, there is no reason why you don't want to get married. The Queen has told me before that when the prince comes out,
During the period of filial piety, a decree will be issued to grant marriage."
"If the prince hadn't left Beijing for Jizhou, the imperial edict granting marriage would have already reached the Su family."
"You have to marry whether you want to marry or not, it's not up to you!"
