Chapter 1239 Epilogue 95 It’s My Turn, It’s My Turn

Chapter 123 It's my turn, it's my turn

"Big brother!"

Xie Yan hurried back from the rubber vulcanization laboratory.

Xie Hong was quite emotional: "It's only been a few months since we last met at the beginning of the year, and I didn't expect that there would be such a big change. When you got married, I had to prepare for the exam in my hometown, and I was really sorry that I couldn't attend the wedding."

Xie Yan smiled and said: "Congratulations, big brother."

Speaking of this, Xie Hong was naturally happy, but he still said modestly: "It's just a juren. If you don't pass the jinshi, everything will be over."

The two brothers sat down to talk, and the maid had brought tea.

Xie Yan said: "I heard that big brother is engaged?"

"My cousin from my fifth uncle's family will be a juvenile next year. The wedding date has been set, in the fall of next year." Xie Hong smiled brightly, and it seemed that he was very satisfied with his fiancée.

Xie Yan said congratulations, but he was thinking in his heart: Why doesn't Brother Zhu prohibit close relatives from marrying?

In fact, even in the 21st century, there are still a lot of developed countries that allow cousins ​​to marry, not to mention the even larger number of developing countries.

Eighteen states in the United States even allow cousins ​​to marry.

Taizu and Taizong were too lazy to care about customs that did not cause much harm to society, because there would be huge resistance and no good results.

If we really want to talk about genetic risks, does hybridization have no risks?

As an agronomy expert, Zhu Guoxiang is very clear about hybridization. Hybridization can indeed produce good varieties, but there is also a high probability of problems, and it is easy to cause multiple degenerations of the offspring.

This phenomenon is called "hybrid decay"!

There is no difference between people and plants.

It's just that people tend to pay more attention to good varieties and those high-quality hybrids.

After chatting about their recent situation for a while, Xie Hong said, "I am going out this time to study at the Yuxiu Academy, and I will go home to get married next autumn. After marriage, I will study hard at home to see if I can pass the imperial examination in one fell swoop."

Xie Yan said, "I happen to know a young scholar at the Meng family of the Yuxiu Academy in Gong County. Brother, you can take my letters to visit them."

"That would be better." Xie Hong could only sigh in his heart that his sixth brother is no longer the same as before.

While the two brothers were chatting, Zhu Tangxi came from the inner house.

She had come here before, because her husband was not at home, it was inconvenient for men and women to spend too much time together. After a simple chat for a while, Xie Hong was arranged to take a bath to wash off the dust on his body.

Xie Hong and his entourage also stayed in the guest room of the front house for the next two days, and could not live in the inner house and garden of the princess's house.

Zhu Tangxi said: "Yixiu Academy is also very good, the mountains are quiet and peaceful. Longmen Academy is not good, it is too close to Luoyang City, there are always students who can't stand the loneliness and run to the city for entertainment every few days."

"That's right," Xie Hong said with a smile, "so the number of Jinshi in Yuxiu Academy is always higher than that of Longmen Academy."

Zhu Tangxi said again: "I heard that you will leave in two days, why don't you stay a few more days? I'll let Liu Lang accompany you around."

Xie Hong smiled and said: "I appreciate your kindness. I have been to Luoyang at the beginning of the year and have been to all the places I should play. This time I made a special trip to Luoyang to make up for my regret of not attending your wedding."

"Brother, you are too polite." Zhu Tangxi said.

Xie Hong said: "I just heard Liu Lang say that my sister-in-law is pregnant. It's a coincidence. I wish you a happy baby."

"Thank you for your good words." Zhu Tangxi was very happy. The more people bless the baby in the belly, the better.

After chatting for a few more words, the topic turned to other things.

Xie Hong asked: "Sixth son, do you still remember the son of Chen Shangshu's family?"

"Of course I remember, Chen Shilang." Xie Yan said.

Xie Hong smiled and said: "He also passed the imperial examination this year. He passed the imperial examination before, but failed in the three joint examinations. He took the exam again after his status as a juren expired. Passing the imperial examination is as easy as drinking water and eating, but he just couldn't pass the imperial examination. It's strange!"

"He took the provincial examination in Shaanxi." Xie Yan guessed the reason at once.

In the provincial examinations of provinces with a large number of imperial examinations, the admission rate of juren is much lower than that of jinshi. For example, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Huainan, Sichuan, and Shandong are really thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge.

The juren from these provinces came to the capital to participate in the joint examination, which actually depends more on their performance on the spot. Because their level is very high!

And the juren in Shaanxi are much easier to pass, but those with less knowledge can never pass the imperial examination.

Fortunately, they were admitted on separate lists, otherwise they would have no chance.

In another time and space, the Ming Dynasty was divided into three lists of Jinshi: South, North, and Central.

In the current Ming Dynasty, there are five lists: East, West, South, and Central.

The West list is for candidates from the various Protectorates and Anxi Province.

The East list is for candidates from the various Governors' Offices and Korean Province.

The number of Jinshi candidates in the East and West lists is the least, and even candidates of different ethnic groups are encouraged to participate. Because even in science, they have to take the Four Books and Six Classics, and they have to accept the teachings of Confucian sages.

This approach is to take care of the old, young, border, and poor areas. Its core meaning is to maintain the regional balance of officials' native places.

You can also immigrate through the imperial examination. If you change your household registration for more than 15 years, no matter where you live, you will definitely be regarded as a person from that province!

...

Xie Yan took his elder brother to play in the garden over in the inner house, and also took a walk with the pregnant princess.

This garden opened Xie Hong's eyes and made him yearn for his younger brother's life.

However, he quickly criticized himself, saying that we are the ones who are supposed to govern the country and bring peace to the world, so how can we envy the prince consort who cannot participate in politics?

After walking for 20 minutes, Zhu Tangxi said, "I am a little tired, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you for long."

Xie Hong said, "Your sister-in-law should have a good rest."

Xie Yan wanted to personally help her back, but was rejected by the princess, who asked him to stay here to accompany the guests.

The princess went away quickly.

Xie Hong praised: "My sister-in-law is a very good person, and she doesn't have the airs of a royal noble at all. Such a virtuous wife, Liu Lang must cherish her."

Xie Yan smiled and said: "How dare I not cherish her?"

"That's true." Xie Hong laughed.

Wang Sheng, who grew up with Xie Yan, also followed Xie Hong to Beijing this time and was behind them at the moment.

Xie Yan asked: "Are you not going to take the exam again?"

"No." Wang Sheng shook his head.

There was no lowly class in the Ming Dynasty, so book boys could naturally take the imperial examination.

But most book boys couldn't even pass the exam for a scholar. And if they failed the first time, they would often choose to give up, otherwise they would inevitably make their employer unhappy.

Only the real genius among the book boys, who passed the exam for a scholar and the second time, would get the full support of the employer. Because such people are worth investing in!

Xie Yan said, "Then you can stay in the front house first, and get familiar with the family with Wang Xing and Xie Changshou. You can be my long-term attendant when I go out, and go to the cement factory next year."

"I'll listen to Liu Lang." Wang Sheng said hurriedly.

Xie Yan continued, "You are new to the cement factory, so you must not be in charge. While doing odd jobs, learn more things and understand all aspects of production and sales. When your current employment period expires, you will sign an employment contract with the cement factory."

"Yes, sir!" Wang Sheng was overjoyed.

This is to train him to the management level of the cement factory. In the future, he will no longer be a slave, but a senior manager of the cement factory.

Wang Sheng is willing to work in the cement factory for a lifetime, marry and have children, establish a family, and settle down in this prosperous place in the capital.

The current director of the cement factory is a loyal servant who has followed Xie Yiqin for many years.

To be honest, the management level is just so-so.

On the contrary, the fourth and fifth uncles who stayed there helped to come up with a lot of ideas and helped to formulate the factory's rules and regulations.

But the fourth and fifth uncles had to leave Beijing before the snow fell. They were familiar with the cement factory process and were about to go to Baoding to build another cement factory.

As long as Wang Sheng was clean and did not make money unscrupulously, Xie Yan planned to let him be the factory director in the future.

Finance, procurement and sales are all the princess's people for the time being.

This is not good, it is easy to cause problems, Xie Yan plans to change the finance in the future.

That night, the couple had dinner early and drank with their eldest brother.

Zhu Tangxi used water instead of wine to apologize, saying: "Liu Lang said that a famous doctor told him that drinking alcohol may cause fetal malformation. After being scared, I don't care whether it is true or not, anyway, I dare not drink."

Xie Hong said: "Since it is said by a famous doctor, then you must not drink. In the future, my fiancée will not let her drink when she is pregnant."

While the three were having dinner, Wang Sheng and Xie Hong's servant also ran to find Wang Xing, Xie Changshou and other male companions to reminisce about the past.

After a good meal and a chat, Xie Yan went back to sleep with his wife in a slightly drunk state.

"Don't come close to me, you smell of alcohol, go wash yourself." Zhu Tangxi pushed away Xie Laoliu who wanted to kiss her.

Xie Yan smiled and said, "I wrote to a famous doctor and asked him that when a woman is five or six months pregnant, she can have sex with her husband and wife. Just bear it for another two months."

Zhu Tangxi was embarrassed when she heard this: "How can you write to a doctor about this? It would be bad if it gets out. People will think that I can't even bear a pregnancy for ten months. How is it different from that... that whore?"

"Sister, don't you want to try? Just be gentle." Xie Yan winked.

Zhu Tangxi's ears turned red: "I don't want to try. It's not good to get pregnant. You think about these things all day long. You are not serious at all. Go take a shower, come back and play chess and chat with me, and then you can go to Qingluan's room to rest."

Xie Yan took the order to take a shower, and Qingluan hurriedly followed to serve him.

Zhu Tangxi began to think seriously, if a woman is five or six months pregnant, she can... forget it, forget it, don't take risks.

Zifeng watched the two leave and wanted to take the opportunity to talk to the princess, but she didn't know how to start, and she was also afraid that the princess would be angry.

Uneasy and tangled.

"Press my waist." Zhu Tangxi felt a little sore in her waist.

Zifeng immediately went to prepare and called Jinhua.

A few days ago, the doctor said that it was normal for pregnant women to have sore waists, and taught the corresponding massage techniques, and asked to apply hot compress for a quarter of an hour before the massage.

Jinhua and Yucai were originally umbrella holders for the princess.

Their arm strength was pretty good. After leaving the palace, Yucai transferred to the incense building manager, while Jinhua became the princess's masseur.

Well, sometimes I also massage Xie Laoliu.

After a while of hot compress, Jinhua began to massage the waist, and the princess closed her eyes in comfort.

Zifeng stood quietly by, but her mind was thinking about the bathroom. At this moment, Qingluan was not flirting with Liulang, right? Maybe they were playing in the water.

Humph, you only know how to eat alone, we are still good sisters.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Tangxi suddenly said, "Zifeng, you should discuss it with Qingluan."

"Ah? Yes!"

Zifeng was startled at first, then overjoyed.

Zhu Tangxi liked Qingluan the most because they had the best communication of ideas. She only needed to give her a glance and Qingluan would know what to do.

It's not easy to be the chief maid. You must have a rapport with your master!

A few years ago, Zhu Tangxi often suffered from insomnia in the middle of the night and always asked Qingluan to sleep with her. It was also at that time that the master and servant became as close as sisters, and could even be said to talk about everything.

But Zifeng had been with her since she was a child after all.

Since her husband's needs were great, let Zifeng have a share. Anyway, we can't let the bad women outside get away with it.

"Sister, I'm done washing." Xie Laoliu walked over quickly.

Zi Feng's face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head in shame, not daring to look at the prince consort.

In fact, the prince consort didn't even look at her, and was just being sentimental.
