Weak Concubine [Qing Wear + Red House]

"When a person is old, he is useless. Such a big thing has been forgotten, and you don't say to remind me."

Mrs. Wang's aunt and nephew hurriedly handed it to the old lady, flattering her for a while.

The old lady suffered for a long time before continuing to ask:

"Brother is very ambitious, let's sit for a while and wait for the good news."

This remark made the girls at the scene a little embarrassed. It was just for reference. Who dares to say that they will definitely pass the exam. If they pass, it will be auspicious in advance. Not good looking?

They turned their faces as soon as they received Jinyao's things. No girl is so thick-skinned. Forgive

Jinyao's face was calm, but she was not worried.

She wasn't worried about losing face or not, but she was more concerned about the safety of her second brother. This is a martial arts competition, and many people from all over the country will come to participate. She is not worried about Wenbi, but she is worried that someone will be hurt during the martial arts competition.

Since the emperor changed the new rules of martial arts a few years ago, many people from Jianghu who had read some books were able to participate, and the difficulty of this martial arts has increased a lot, especially in the third competition.

Those who can pass the first two rounds and rank in the top [-] will have the opportunity to enter the third martial arts competition. In the competition, the winner who is challenged the most or who defends the competition to the end is the champion.

Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, the danger of the martial arts competition is still very high, she doesn't expect the second brother to get the top three results, as long as he gets the top ten in the exam, his reputation will be very good, and he can reward him with his background. Pretty good job.

I hope that the scriptures recited in Xiuyun Temple these days are not in vain, and the large sum of money for sesame oil is not in vain, otherwise she will definitely not go next time.

The time passed quickly when there were many people talking, and before dinner, Fengshou ran back sweating to report the letter.

Naturally, Mother Jia was announced to come in, and a screen was placed at the door. As soon as Fengshou came in, she knelt outside the screen with a "bang":

"The little Fengshou sends greetings to the old lady and all the ladies and ladies. The little second master asked the little one to come back and report to the ladies and the fifth girl. He passed the exam!"

"what?"

"Really hit?"

"Oh, this is a happy event!" Mother Jia didn't feel any joy in her heart.She did not expect that Nian Gengyao could really pass the exam.

I usually heard Jia Lian say that Nian Gengyao always eats and drinks with the rich and powerful children every day, or rides horses through the streets. How could he think that he would be so promising?

It's a pity, no matter how good it is, it's not her own grandson. It doesn't help her children and grandchildren much, and it still adds glory to Jia Wei, which makes people unhappy.

"Okay, what place did the second brother win? Are you in good health?" Jin Yao could no longer maintain her demeanor and stood up straight to ask.

"Returning to the girl, the second master defeated 21 challengers in the end, won the first place, and was not injured. Now he is participating in the Qionglin Banquet, waiting for the emperor to award him!"

"Okay! Okay! If you serve well, all of you will be rewarded with three months of silver bells, and the others will be rewarded with one month of silver bells?"

"The slave is here!"

"Go and prepare the rewards, all those who go to congratulate today will be rewarded!"

"Yes, girl, the slave is going now! Cui Ling is going to help me."

"Go!"

"Yes!"

Nian's family was full of joy, and all the girls in the house, from the old lady to all the girls, also happily congratulated Jinyao.

Nian Gengyao was about to light the lamp when he came back. He drank a lot of wine, but he was not drunk. Obviously, no one would drink to death on such an occasion.

When he came back, he went to see Jinyao before he had time to change his clothes. Sure enough, he had been waiting for him without a break. Seeing him coming, he hurriedly asked to serve the prepared hangover soup, stomach nourishing porridge, and side dishes.

Nian Gengyao's heart is warm. His younger sister has been pampered by her family since she was a child, but it is rare that she has not developed into a willful, selfish, caring person for her close relatives. The more she is like this, the more attractive she is. People hurt.

"Second brother has already told you, put your heart in your stomach, look, it's not easy to get the first place in the exam!"

Jinyao laughed, it seems that men like to show off no matter how old they are, even an outstanding brother like her is not exempt, so she had to boast:

"Didn't I intuitively realize how powerful the second brother is, but there aren't many candidates this time?"

"It's not too many. There are about [-] people in the top fifty. The martial arts exam is to select leading generals and palace guards. The questions in the literary exam will not be too simple. If you just read a few books, you can pass the exam. The possibility is unlikely, and this will wipe out a large wave of Jianghu people.

And how many Jianghu people can read and practice martial arts?Compared with pure martial arts, kung fu is naturally much worse. Your second brother has killed a few times on the battlefield, so self-protection is not a problem. "

Well, now I'm humbled again.

"By the way, I also met an interesting person in this martial arts competition. His skill is not bad, and he won No.5. Moreover, this person is from a family, and we have a little bit of love."

"Oh? The children of the aristocratic family are so outstanding, haven't you met before?"

"From a poor family, how can they be called the children of the rich and powerful." Naturally, the people he came into contact with in Beijing were all the children of the rich and powerful who could be counted as names, and this was a circle.

"My name is Liu Xianglian. Although the name is effeminate, she doesn't look masculine. She looks like a man when she can do things and talk. It is said that my ancestors followed their great-grandfather on the battlefield and made meritorious service. They were awarded titles, but now both parents are dead. His family background has completely declined, and he is free and unrestrained, and he has never thought about revitalizing his family business, so he just dawdles like this. But now that he has taken the martial arts exam, the worst when he is introduced is the sixth-rank Lan Ling bodyguard. Considering his age and his starting point It's pretty good."

Jinyao understands that most of the palace guards come from aristocratic families, and most of those selected in their martial arts examinations will be named guards.

And she really has some impressions of Liu Xianglian. She remembers that he was said to be beautiful in the Red Mansion, and he also likes to be a guest. I want to ask, why~

In the next few days, the brothers and sisters of the Nian family received soft hands when they received the posts.

People who were close to him, such as Fucha Mansion and Zhaojia Mansion, sent people to congratulate them one after another, asking when the banquet would be held and whether they needed help, but Nian Gengyao politely refused.

Uncle Jia She, the national good uncle, naturally discussed with him the first time to set up a banquet in Jia's mansion for a few days to have a good time, but Nian Gengyao refused after thinking about it.

"Uncle loves me so much that I shouldn't have resigned, but the house has been fully repaired, so I can move back in on an auspicious day. I plan to choose the nearest date, and we will do it together after moving back. I have to ask uncle for help."

"What do our uncles and nephews say these polite words? It's better to go back and do it, so as not to be stuck by those incompetent people, which will affect your future. Uncle told you, now that you have serious errands, you must do things seriously and listen more to everything." Seniors taught, don't be arrogant!"

"Yes, my nephew will always remember my uncle's teachings!" He has been appointed as the second-class bodyguard in front of the imperial court, and he is a fourth-rank military officer. One of the reasons for this is that he won the No. [-] Martial Arts Scholar.

Nian Gengyao has never underestimated this uncle who looks dandy and incompetent but actually has a lot of pitfalls inside.

Uncle has no skills, he is a nephew who can pull it off, and it is best if uncle has skills, and it doesn't affect his respect for him, just because he is his mother's brother and his real uncle.

I don't want Jia She to change the subject:

"There is one more thing to keep in mind. From now on, no matter who seeks you to do business in my name, you can refuse as much as you can, including your cousin Lian!"

"uncle……"

"You don't have to talk to uncle. There is nothing that uncle can't see through all these years. The Jia family has already been defeated after your grandfather left. Now it has rotted to the root and is hopeless! You can't let a doomed Your promising boat dragged you down, otherwise uncle wouldn't have the face to see your mother."

Nian Gengyao didn't say any more hypocritical words, and he really had this plan in his heart. After seeing what the Jia family did, it's just that it was his grandfather's family after all, so he couldn't say some things directly.

Now that Jia Amnesty took the initiative to speak out, it saved him trouble, but it also made him get closer to this uncle who cared about him in everything.

"My father will go to Beijing to report on his work during the Chinese New Year, and my mother will come with him. Then my uncle will be able to meet her siblings."

Jia Amnesty's face was bright:

"I just hope that she can come to Beijing. It's been so many years... We didn't see each other for a day before your mother got married, but now it's been 27 years, half of my life has passed..."

It has been many years since the Jia family has been so lively, although the excitement was brought by the young master of Nian's family who was staying here.

There are still many female relatives who post posts to Jia's mansion, of course they are looking at Jinyao.

Today an important guest came to the mansion. Mother Jia brought the two wives of King Xing, Sister Feng, and Youshi, and they were ready to welcome him early in the morning. This person was Princess Nan'an.

The king of Nan'an belongs to the four kings of the original four kings and eight princes, and now he is only one of the two kings of the opposite sex.

It's just that Nan'an Prince's Mansion is still a prince's mansion, and the contemporary people are also decent Nan'an County Kings, but the □□ Duke's Mansion has long been inconsistent with its name.

Princess Nan'an is very humble. Seeing that Mother Jia insisted on addressing her as a junior, because Mother Jia and Princess Nan'an were of the same generation, she also praised Sanchun and Daiyu beside her as flowers, which made Mother Jia very satisfied, and she sat down as the guest of honor. After getting off, Princess Nan'an patrolled around and smiled lightly:

"The old lady still has a granddaughter, she is hiding it from people to see!"

"Where, she's from a small family. She left her parents and elder brother to go to Beijing, but his elder brother was in high school. Now she's so busy that I can't see her."

This is to praise Jinyao's ability in the open, but secretly say that she is not filial, does not greet herself, and even the princess is unwilling to see people when she comes, and is ignorant.

Princess Nan'an acted as if she didn't understand, and praised:

"That's really capable of housekeeping. She is not afraid to leave home at such a young age, and she can also share the worries of her brother. This girl is not bad. I really need to meet her today!"

The corners of Jia Mu's mouth twitched and she laughed:

"I've already been called by someone. I think it's because we are far away. It took me some time to dress up at the girl's house. Forgive me, Princess!"

Princess Nan'an's smile faded a bit:

"What's the matter? Am I the kind of small-hearted person who tells the girl not to worry, and I didn't leave in a short while."

"Hurry up, hurry up, Feng girl, go and greet her!"

"Hey, the concubine and the old lady are sitting, I'll go to greet you right away." Wang Xifeng hurriedly went to Qilan Courtyard to invite Jinyao.

Princess Nan'an asked Mother Jia about the situation of the Nian brothers and sisters in the mansion, but the old lady didn't care much, not to mention that she didn't care about the Nian brothers and sisters, so she couldn't ask any useful information.

This surprised Princess Nan'an, the Jia family had reached the point where there were no successors, and now that such a prominent relative is by her side, why don't they make good friends?At this thought, the smile on his face faded a bit.

Besides, Wang Xifeng hurried away, praying in her heart, this ancestor must be in the mansion, if she goes out, the old lady's face will be lost today.

Princess Nan'an naturally posted a post before coming to the door, but the old lady didn't inform Jinyao, and she didn't plan to bring her to meet guests.

I also know that with Jinyao's face, standing with Sanchun will compare with others, how can the old lady be willing to let Sanchun set off her.

Who knows that Princess Nan'an came and asked to see Jinyao by name, so she had to call someone, but before everyone forgot that Jinyao didn't often stay in the mansion, now it depends on luck to find someone.

This made Wang Xifeng anxious, and she almost burst into tears at this point of the road. She hurried ahead, and Ping'er and Feng'er chased after her half-running behind, causing the passing servants to guess.

It was so easy to see the gate of Qilan Courtyard, Wang Xifeng stopped at the gate and dared not enter...
