Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

In the morning of the second day, the results of the general examination were posted on the wall of the tribute courtyard, and both Zhang brothers were in the top ten positions.

Lin Hai sat in his public room and watched Chun Wei's ranking. The Zhang family brothers were not in his examination room, and he hadn't read their articles until now.At the final ranking yesterday, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials pulled Zhang Xu down from the top ten. The faces of Chen Shangshu and Li Shangshu were ugly.But neither of them is someone who can shake the official Duan Shangshu. Lin Hai felt that his words were not enough, so he watched Zhang Xu silently from the first three to the thirteenth.

Erjia is good, it doesn't show mountains and dew, and it doesn't attract people's eyes, which is very good.

A few days later it was the palace examination, and the top [-] articles were sent up. Both the Taishang and the present were optimistic about the articles of the Zhang family brothers. The Taishang said to his son: "It is also a good story for father and son to be the number one scholar."

Nodding today, he looked very sincere, "Father is wise, with discerning eyes." In fact, he liked Zhang Xu's articles more in his heart.

Duan Shangshu, the official minister, sighed in his heart, the old lady Fu Quan was all over the government, and it was hard to guarantee that he would not offend anyone.He really didn't want the Zhang family's children to stand out like this, alas, manpower cannot go against God's will.

The good news was sent to Rongguo Mansion, the Zhang family brothers had a champion and a No.10 in the second class.Jia She Huanxi didn't know how to put his hands and feet, but it was Lin Zhixiao and Wu Xindeng who helped him give him the reward for the good news, and added monthly silver to the servants of the Hefu.In short, everyone likes things.

Amber, who was serving in Lixiangyuan, told Jia Mu about this, but Jia Mu shook her head and said nothing.I just feel sore all over my heart, my child!Lin Hai came from the Mansion of Marquis Wending, so he could get Tanhua at a young age.The second child of the family failed in the exam no matter what, and Zhu'er died of exhaustion from the imperial examination.Could it be that the Jia family, the Shi family, and the Wang family were all military commanders?Look at Lian'er who has studied for a year and is a Juren.This Lian'er must have followed the Zhang family's blood.It's a pity that Hu'er, if she was alive, she would have been the number one scholar, alas.Fate!

If it happens again, will I still use Zhang's mother and son to keep the boss?Probably not.Can always find other ways to keep the boss.As long as Hu'er is here, the Zhang family will live, and the Grand Duke will live well...

Jia Mu got up and went to offer another stick of incense to Jia Daishan.I said silently in my heart, Lord Guo, the boss is still tied to the Ministry of War, you wait patiently for a few more years, our Lian'er will also give you a champion in the Rongguo Mansion and come back from the examination.

Amber was originally serving by Jia Mu's side, and she was overwhelmed by mandarin ducks, so she didn't show much about her in everything.Now the women all took a step back and asked her to go up to Mother Jia and take care of the old lady carefully.

Now Amber didn't dare to let Jia Mu kneel down at will any longer, and before waiting for a quarter of an hour, she went to support Jia Mu and said, "Old lady, take a break, rest and kneel again."

Mother Jia understood Amber's concern, and walked out with Amber's support.

"Baoyu's ninth birthday is over, so it's time to grow taller?" Mother Jia looked at the trees with tender leaves in the yard and said to herself.

"Don't worry, old lady, Sister Yuanyang is by Baoyu's side."

"Yes, Yuanyang is appropriate. You don't need to stay with me anymore. Go back and serve Yingchun. You will have no future with my old lady in the Buddhist hall."

"Old lady, the master asked Amber to come over, and Amber will take good care of the old lady. What do you think about the future?" Grandpa, no, Master Hou said it very clearly, take good care of the old lady, and wait for her to be 20 years old. Or choose a good person in charge of her in the shop.

"Silly boy." Mother Jia patted Hu Po's hand, squinting at the boundless sky outside Lixiangyuan.

The sky is clear and clear, and it is as clear as blue.The faint sound of firecrackers spread to Rikain.

The Shujishi selection examination was over, and the new Jinshi went their separate ways. Zhang Zhao went to the Imperial Academy to do editing, and Zhang Xu was admitted to the Shujishi.Finally, when Chun Wei was done, Lin Hai and everyone in the Ministry of Rites breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Hai got a few days off and rested at home.On this day, while he was flipping through the collection of books and making notes by himself, while tasting the Mingqian Longjing that Zhao Lin had sent over, Daiyu came to Lin Hai with a stack of flower stickers.

"Daddy, Yanyan is going to hold a flower viewing party."

"What kind of flowers do you want to see? Who do you invite?" Today is Daiyu's holiday. Starting from the morning, this child has been looking for Lin Hai from time to time. For various reasons, she refuses to accompany Lin Hai to read a book in the study. .Lin Hai understood that it was his invigilator for this month, and this sensitive child was flustered, afraid that he would not like her as much as before when he came back.

"Invite these senior sisters in Beijing." Daiyu handed the flower post in her hand to Lin Hai, and Lin Hai listened to Daiyu while seeing who they were. "Daddy, this flower viewing party was proposed by my husband. I want the seniors in the capital to get to know Yan Yan and Cousin Ying. Yanyan will prepare some seasonal flowers, and the seniors will each bring a pot of flowers." Both Daiyu and Yingchun passed Mr. Zhou's trial study, and they went out with Mr. Zhou as a guest. After returning, they did not need to be supervised, and devoted themselves to learning from Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Zhou also made a special trip to talk to Lin Hai because the age gap between the two children was too large.In the end, Lin Hai decided to teach Yingchun according to her age, and finish all the courses in three years.Some things that Daiyu doesn't understand should be written down first, and then she will gradually understand when she grows up.Mr. Zhou once mentioned to Lin Hai that her students would hold some occasional gatherings.In Lin Hai's view, the relationship between these women is the same as the relationship between men's brothers and sisters.For a girl like Daiyu who has no family relatives, such a bond is more worthy of maintenance.

"Yan Yan, you should first write down the process of the flower viewing party. For example, you need to determine the hours of the flower viewing party, estimate how many of your guests will come, and when they will arrive, and then do it every hour. What to do, when is the flower viewing banquet expected to end. After determining the number of people, arrange the place to rest after lunch, and then consider the items that may be used. If you think it is well thought out, show it to Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou said It's alright, let's let the housekeeper prepare according to the list, okay? Daddy will ask the housekeeper to tidy up the garden again, and prepare more seasonal peonies, peonies, orchids, etc. for you, how about it?"

Calling Lin Qian, Lin Hai explained that Daiyu was going to hold a flower viewing feast. When the eldest girl confirmed the number of people, she had to prepare a place to rest after the luncheon. She had to prepare carefully. Seasonal peonies, peonies, Orchids, etc., prepare more of each variety, and the garden is cleaned up and arranged.

Daiyu was satisfied, and happily went back to plan the process of the flower viewing feast.

Seeing the eldest girl leave, Lin Qian asked, "Master, those top-quality peonies and orchids are not cheap. A pot can cost hundreds of taels, or even more expensive." In the past two years, my family has never lost my first wife, and the master has never paid much attention to these things. Now I have to spend more money to buy flowers.

"Buy what you should buy. The flower house in the mansion has been vacant for these years. If you raise it well, it will be useful every year in the future."

"Yes." Lin Qian got the master's words, turned around and went out to run errands, and had to plan to arrange someone who could grow flowers for the greenhouse. The girl grew up, and I'm afraid there will be no fewer flower fairs like this in the future.

Lin Hai had no intention of writing notes, got up and walked around the yard of the study.Chunxiu, the maid who was transferred from the embroidery room to the study room, tiptoed over and made a blessing for Lin Hai.

"Master, my wife sent someone over, saying that my wife will take a rest early at noon, please don't go back to eat later."

"Oh, I see."

Chunxiu is the kind of gentle Jiangnan girl, fair and slender, with light eyebrows and long eyes, which is a bit classical. Although the eyebrows and eyes are not very outstanding, they are very attractive together.Because of his talent in sewing, this child entered the sewing room in the mansion when he was six or seven years old.The nanny in charge of the sewing room named her Chunxiu because she entered the mansion in spring.After several years of learning, I really learned a good needlework.In the past, most of Daiyu's outstandingly embroidered dresses were embroidered by her.

Lin Hai struggled with Ji's family for a few days, and in the end, he had to recuperate Chunxiu's body first, so he delayed the closing of the house for half a year.Unexpectedly, when she turned around, Ji arranged Chunxiu in the study, taking the original place of Gui Ni.He called Yingge again and ordered that before Chunxiu was pregnant, Yingge was not allowed to stay with the master.

When Lin Hai learned about Ji's arrangement from Yingge, he couldn't laugh or cry.Yingge also cried pitifully, "Master, people with a background like this slave cannot give birth to children for the master. If the master likes the slave, the slave will serve the master. But the wife said, if you want to be obedient, you should raise the slave for a lifetime."

What can he do, fight with the Ji family - he can't do such a shameless thing.Then don't go to Yingge's place.

Lin Hai really wanted to add a big line of bold words on the top of Ji's head: Don't be obedient to breed?Be plain!

During the Spring Festival, the Ji family and Lin Hai negotiated, and hired a semi-retired old man from the Huichun Hall to make offerings for the future pregnant women and children in the mansion.Old doctor Zhao is almost 70 years old, and it is easier to go in and out of the inner courtyard.

After doctor Zhao checked Lin Hai's pulse, he told Lin Hai with relief: "Dong Weng is in good health, better than a 30-year-old man. You don't need to take any medicine. The most important thing is to support people, just eat well."

Every so often, Mrs. Ji sent some soup to the study. After Lin Hai drank it twice, he never dared to touch the soup that Mrs. Ji brought over.Go back to the backyard and beg for mercy from the Ji family.

"Wanrong, we agreed to let Chunxiu take good care of her body in half a year, so that she can give us a healthy son in the future. Can you not give away the madam's soup?"

Mrs. Ji looked at Lin Hai and smiled, and spoke softly, but she was serious, "Mr. Zhao said that Chunxiu has a good body. Is the master not interested in Chunxiu? Then the concubine will choose someone for the master. Or Go out and buy, can the master trust you?"

Lin Hai lost to the Ji family.

But in my heart, I am glad that I married the Ji family.If the Ji family is the same as Jia Min, if they can't give birth by themselves, why don't they let others live? !
