Liu Er's Extra Story (Fifty-Nine)

The triennial examination kicked off in the capital.

Brother Leopard and Brother Ying will not enter the official examination in the future, so Liu Er will not pay attention to the imperial examination. At most, wait for the results to come out and find out. Going out to socialize in this way, others will not be confused when talking about this topic.

But this year's test is much more lively than previous years. The reason lies in the number one person.

Chang and his two daughters-in-law said: "I heard that this year Huiyuan is very good at studying, and he has never been second in the exam."

Liu Er smiled and said: "Yes! I heard that the children's examination and the township examination are all the first, and this time the general examination is also the first. If the palace examination is also the first, then it is the first in the history of the Ming Dynasty. ' students." The people who have passed the third grade are basically promising. It seems that the imperial court will have another pillar of talent.

Chang looked at Liu'er and said: "I heard that Yuanji is very young, just in his early twenties. You can ask someone to inquire and see if he is engaged?"

These words mean something. Jiaojiao is already seventeen years old and hasn't said anything yet, so Chang's is a little anxious.

Liu'er smiled and said: "Mother, such a talent, how can it be the turn of a lady in the capital." This is the person who is the first in every exam, and such a person is a fast son-in-law in the eyes of many people! Someone must have done it already.

Chang thinks about it too.

As a result, within a few days, Chang's got the news that the newly released Hui Yuan was just in his early twenties and hadn't married a wife yet.

Chang's heart felt hot, and he said to Feng Dajun: "You said that it would be great if this Huiyuan became our family's grandson-in-law."

Feng Dajun asked, "What's the princess's attitude towards this matter?"

"Look at the attitude of the princess, she is not enthusiastic." Or else, she would have mentioned it during dinner at night.

Feng Dajun said: "Since the princess doesn't have such thoughts, then don't say such things." Here, the marriage of girls is decided by the parents. As an old couple, they can only offer suggestions. If they are grandparents, they have to take more care, which will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the princess. He won't do things that are thankless.

Chang's nodded, but did not mention this at home. At most, he just muttered a few words in front of Mama Xin.

At this time, the small courtyard that Huiyuan rented really echoed an old saying that the threshold was almost trampled down by the matchmaker. However, Huiyuan didn't show his face, and only let the entourage around him spread the word that he would not meet with his wife if the result of the palace examination had not come out.

Liu'er also heard about this, smiled and said to Qi Qi: "This Xu Wenchang is a smart man. When the results of the palace examination come out, if he wins the number one scholar, a girl from any family can marry him." Sanyuan Jidi's name is that several ministers want to snatch him home as a son-in-law or grandson-in-law.

Qiqi looked at her and asked: "If he wants to marry Jiaojiao, will you marry Jiaojiao to him?"

"No." No matter how talented she is, she will not marry, she will only let Jiaojiao marry someone who knows everything.

Seeing this, Qiqi smiled and changed the subject: "According to the time, Qianqian should have arrived in Beijing." Jiang Yizheng was transferred back to the capital and served as a doctor in the Ministry of Officials. In the past, Jiang Yizheng was only a fifth-rank magistrate in Huangzhou, but now he is a fifth-rank doctor in the official department. In addition, he was transferred back to the capital again, so he was promoted to one and a half levels.

It's hard to say about this. Liu'er said: "According to the schedule, we should have arrived two days ago. I haven't arrived yet, I think I was caught by something." But now the world is peaceful, water and land are all safe, so I don't worry about anything. At most, that is, whoever has a headache and brain fever delays the trip.

"Forget it, we haven't seen each other for twelve years. Let's get together when Qianqian comes back." Qiqi and Qianqian's relationship is also very good.

Liu'er nodded and said, "When she comes back, we'll clean her up together." Although Qianqian hasn't returned to Beijing yet, she has already been hired as the lady of Wenhua Hall.

Nowadays, whether it is to study in a cultural hall or to teach in it, it is a very decent thing. It was also because Qianqian founded five women's schools in Jiangzhou and Huangzhou that they were very famous, so she was hired directly without passing the assessment.

As a result, Qianqian hadn't arrived in Beijing until the imperial examination. But when Jiang Yizheng came back, they knew that Yurong's illness delayed the trip.

Not worried at all.

Soon it will be the day when the results of the palace examination will come out. On the day of Zhang Huangbang, it was really a sea of ​​people.

The Duke's Mansion also made people pay attention to the news of the imperial list. In fact, it was also because Liu'er didn't care about the results of the imperial examination, otherwise she would know the results immediately.

Hearing that the number one scholar is Xu Wenchang, the former Huiyuan, Liu Er said with a smile: "This is the first 'three yuan and the first' in the Ming Dynasty, and we will go to see the style of this number one scholar when we cross the street tomorrow. "

Qiqi shook her head and said: "Forget it, there are so many things and Tangtang and the others are also engaged, so I won't join in the fun. If you don't plan to recruit him as Chenglong Kuai's son-in-law, you'd better not bring Jiaojiao there I heard that Xu Wenchang has an outstanding appearance, and many girls didn't think about eating and drinking when they saw her before. Now that he has become the number one scholar, he is even more popular with girls."

Liu'er's heart skipped a beat, and she nodded to show that Qiqi's words made sense: "Then I won't join in the fun tomorrow."

After the sister-in-law finished chatting, Liu Er went back to her yard. After thinking for a while, Liu'er called Shiliu over: "Do you know the name of the man the third girl likes?"

Shiliu shook her head: "I didn't go to inquire."

"I suspect that the man Mimi likes is Xu Wenchang, the champion of the new division." I have to say, this kid has pretty good eyesight. At a glance, he fell in love with Sanyuan and the number one scholar.

Shiliu thought for a while and said, "Princess, I heard that this champion man is very good-looking, and it's normal for little girls to like him." Not only men like beautiful women, but this little girl also likes suave and handsome young men.

Liu'er was sure of what she was thinking, so she didn't want Jiaojiao to see her. It's just that I promised to take her to see the parade before, if there is no reason to break my promise, the child will definitely make trouble.

After thinking about it, Liu'er sent a letter to Baihuayuan.

That night, Liu'er and Jiaojiao said: "Your grandmother sent someone to miss you, and asked me to take you to Baihuayuan tomorrow morning. Look, should I go to see the number one scholar parade or go to Baihuayuan?"

Yuxi is very busy, even Jiaojiao, who is a granddaughter, can't see her as soon as she wants.

Jiaojiao hesitated for a while and said: "Let's go see my grandmother!" Relatively speaking, Yuxi is more attractive to her. It just so happens that there are a bunch of questions that I want to ask Yuxi.

Liu'er knew this was the result.

The hundred gardens were full of flowers, and Yuxi took Liu'er, mother and daughter to stroll around the garden. On this day, Yuxi opened Jiaojiao's horizons again.

Liu'er and Jiaojiao had dinner in Baihuayuan, and it was getting dark before returning to the Duke's Mansion.

Jiaojiao said in the sedan chair: "Mother, why does grandma know so much about flowers?" The types, qualities and differences of flowers can be eloquently explained.

Before Liu'er could speak, Jiaojiao said, "Mother, do you think I can be as powerful as my grandmother when I get old?"

"As far as I can remember, your grandmother has been holding books in her spare time these years. What about you? Do you have the drive and perseverance?" In fact, besides being eager to learn, Yuxi's ability to store so many things in her brain is also one of the reasons for her good memory.

Jiaojiao shook her head.

There is a saying that goes well, the more you avoid it, the more you cannot avoid it. Liu Er was very surprised when he heard the wife of Chen Xueshi, the head of the Imperial Academy, came to the door. Not to mention that the Feng family didn't have any contact with the Chen family, but she herself had never dealt with the women of the Chen family. At most, they just met each other at some banquets.

Mrs. Chen bowed to Liu'er, and said with a smile: "Princess, I am taking the liberty to come here, please forgive me."

Liu'er invited Mrs. Chen to sit down, and asked: "I don't know why Mrs. Chen came here this time?" The two families did not meet each other, so there must be something wrong when they came here this time.

Mrs. Chen asked with a smile: "The princess should have heard of the name Xu Wenchang, right?"

Liu'er said with a smile: "If I don't know about the first great talent of the 'Sanyuan Jidi' in the Ming Dynasty, then I am really ignorant." When mentioning Xu Wenchang well, Liu'er had a bad feeling.

Mrs. Chen said with a smile: "The child Mo Zhu heard that the county master Yao Cen has excellent character and talent, so he asked the old man to be his matchmaker. Princess, Mo Zhu and the county master Yao Cen are a match made in heaven." Mrs. Chen felt that Liu'er would definitely not refuse the marriage.

Jiaojiao's real name was Feng Yaocen, so she was directly canonized as the head of Yaocen County.

Chen Xueshi also wanted to marry his granddaughter to Xu Wenchang, but unfortunately he didn't like it. But hearing that Xu Wenchang fell in love with Yaocen county magistrate, although Chen Xueshi and his wife were a little surprised, they also felt that it was reasonable.

Although Liu'er always said that Jiaojiao was lazy, Jiaojiao was actually one of the most talented women in the capital. In addition, the older she gets, the more beautiful she becomes. If Liu'er didn't like Liu'er's reputation, Jiaojiao would definitely be the number one beauty in the capital. With both good looks and talent, coupled with an excellent family background, Jiaojiao is the focus of everyone wherever she goes. It's also because Jiaojiao is so outstanding, I don't know how many people have come to propose marriage over the years. It's a pity that Jiao Jiao didn't like any of the candidates selected by Liu Ershuai.

Liu'er asked curiously: "Xu Zhuangyuan is really unmarried? As far as I know, he is already twenty-three years old this year." Not to mention such a talented young talent, even ordinary people are Hot item. Therefore, Xu Wenchang is not yet married, so there must be something strange about it.

Mrs. Chen smiled and said: "I've asked about this too. Mo Zhu said that a monk told his fortune, and said that he must be twenty-one years old before he can marry. Otherwise, it will be in danger of life." Xu Wenchang Although he was said to be twenty-three years old, he was not actually twenty-two years old.

Liu'er said with a smile: "This is really interesting." This excuse is really well used. Neither offending anyone, but also politely declining the marriage. This Xu Wenchang is really a smart man.

Seeing Liu'er's unmoved expression, Mrs. Chen was a little puzzled: "Princess, I'm not boasting. There are few children in the capital who can compare to Mo Zhu in terms of appearance, conversation, and character. Although he is better than the county magistrate Six years older, but the older you are, the more you know how to hurt people."
