Weak Concubine [Qing Wear + Red House]

Firecrackers were set off in front of the main entrance of Nianfu for 5 minutes.

All the relatives who knew the news came to congratulate him. Jia She was the first one to come here. He also sent a servant to look at the list early in the morning. Naturally, he knew that his nephew was on the list. He was so happy that he immediately came to Nian's house to help Ya Ling Zhang Luo.

Mrs. Fucha and Princess Qinghui came here in person. When Princess Qinghui saw Mrs. Jia, she smiled and blessed her:

"Congratulations to Jinshi girl!"

Mrs. Jia laughed out the fine lines at the corners of her eyes: "You are narrow, please come inside! The second child is not a Jinshi yet, your Jinshi mother is too early to see the result after three days of palace examination."

"In short, you can't go wrong. I heard that Lianggong ranked No.5. This result is a real test, and it won't be bad even in the imperial examination!"

"Let me borrow your good words!"

"aunt!"

Jin Yao and Jin Miao greet each other's mother respectively.

Mrs. Jia pulled Jin Miao and praised her sincerity, Jin Yao felt inferior to herself.On the contrary, Princess Qinghui had seen how Jinyao liked her in the past, but today she was different from the past. She praised the official a lot, and the two of them had their own opinions on who they were.

Jin Yao's mother and daughter pretended not to know, and still warmly invited the guests into the main hall as before.

"Jin'er, take Jin Miao to play in your yard, don't stay here to save trouble."

"Ok!"

Good friends left arm in arm.

"It's spring!" Jin Miao put away her smiling face and sighed.

Jin Yao was taken aback and looked at her:

"Why are you still sad, this doesn't look like your style?"

Jin Miao raised her face and looked at the blue sky:

"Jin'er, you said it would be nice not to grow up, so that we can play together in Hunan all the time, be happy and free every day, I really miss it!"

"You have been back to Beijing for more than a year, haven't you gotten used to the pace of life in Beijing?"

Jin Miao didn't answer Jin Yao's words, and only after a long while said calmly:

"I'm going to participate in the draft too."

"What?" Jin Yao was really surprised now.

Jin Miao didn't explain, but forced a smile:

"It's all right now, the two of us can be companions, it's not bad!"

Influenced by Jin Miao, Jinyao's mood was not high, and she was not happy until the next afternoon when she saw her second brother off duty, and congratulated him.

"Congratulations to Nian's bodyguard for being listed on the apricot list. If you develop well in the future, you should take care of the younger ones."

Nian Gengyao has already been congratulated by too many people today, and has been able to calmly "pretend" to socialize. Seeing this, he smirked and said:

"Good talk, good talk!"

Mrs. Jia was amused by their brother and sister:

"Okay, don't be ridiculous, tell your second brother to sit down and have a rest!"

Mrs. Fucha had already brought the teacup from the girl with a smile, and received a warm smile from her husband, who blushed a little.

Jinyao's teeth ached.

At this time, the fourth girl came forward to congratulate Nian Gengyao.

There is a big difference between a concubine's daughter and a prostitute's daughter. A concubine's daughter can directly enter the main courtyard of her parents without passing through, speak ahead of her elders, and no one will blame her for being rude. There is no need to laugh and fight with her elder brother at will Consider what to say and what not to say.

She also envied the relationship between Jinyao and her second brother. The second brother usually treats them as concubine younger sisters, kind and reasonable, but not close enough.But getting along with Jinyao is completely different, the love in his eyes can overflow.

After dinner, the fourth girl left, and Madam Jia asked about Jinyao when only her kin and children were left.

"I just saw that you looked sleepy, but what did Jin Miao tell you?"

Nian Gengyao and his wife also looked at her with concern.

"Jin Miao said that she also wants to participate in the draft."

"She's also going to participate in the draft? Didn't she say she asked for grace to be exempted from the draft?" Fucha asked in surprise.

"She didn't say why, she just looked depressed."

Mrs. Jia and Nian Gengyao looked at each other and frowned.

"Perhaps the situation is not as serious as she thought. Besides, she likes the eighth elder brother. If she wants to marry the eighth elder brother as a side Fujin, she has to go through the draft and be appointed by the emperor to look good."

"Perhaps." In front of her family, Jin Yao didn't need to maintain her image all the time, she leaned softly on the soft couch.

"But the imperial power is supreme, what can be done? As for the fact that they were allowed to marry on their own before, but now they have to be drafted... Maybe something happened during this period, from one moment to another."

Mrs. Jia breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's rare that you are so transparent, and my mother is more relieved."

"Look at what mother said, I am such a transparent person, you should be completely at ease, why are you more at ease?"

Fucha said with a smile: "That's true, I really haven't seen any girl of the same age who has a younger sister so smart!"

"It's still my second sister-in-law who has eyesight, hum!"

Nian Gengyao hit her with a smile:

"Your second sister-in-law is kind-hearted. She only picks people's advantages and says that you have too many shortcomings, so it's easy to have an advantage. She shouldn't rush to boast."

Mrs. Fu Cha hurriedly interjected: "It's okay, my sister has her strengths everywhere, and she has nothing to lose!"

"Tch, the second brother is jealous, I know it."

"You know again? Then do you know that your second sister-in-law is telling lies? Why don't you have short hair? You're clearly short, haha!"

"Do you know how to use words, and you won the gongshi? People call you short... Bah, you are short, and you led them to the pit!"

The siblings laughed.

After arguing for a while, Jinyao and Fucha were persuaded by Mrs. Jia to go back to their room to rest. There were only mother and son left, and there was no smile on their faces at this time.

"Today, another second-rank official was dismissed from office and punished to raid his residence."

Mrs. Jia was silent for a while: "Then take the opportunity to buy some real estate shops."

Nian Gengyao nodded and sighed:

"Mother, it looks like the water in the capital is going to be muddy! Counting today and this year, six ministers have been dismissed and demoted, and half of them have had their homes ransacked!"

"Hey, I don't know if it's good or bad to go back to Beijing at this time."

"If you don't come back, things should happen or they will happen. When you come back, you should be aware of it and be prepared in advance. It's better than being in a hurry when things come to you."

No one who is an official dares to say that he can't find any faults. If the emperor wants to punish you, it is very easy to find charges.

"What you said is also reasonable, but Jin'er's marriage is what to do, now your father is not sure whether to stay in Hunan or go to Beijing, and the selection show is less than five days away, so what should I do! "

Now Nian Xialing's transfer is stuck, and he is making connections all day long.

Mrs. Jia was more worried about Jinyao. Compared with her daughter's imminent marriage, being a Jinshi in her son was not that important.

Nian Gengyao thought deeply:

"I don't know why Zhaojia's mansion has angered the emperor. Mr. Zhaojia's official position and title have not changed. He only asked his prostitute daughter who has been rewarded with grace and does not need to be drafted to participate in the draft. This should be just a warning. It depends on Mr. Zhaojia and Princess Qinghui Do not know each other."

"Qinghui didn't say a word when she came here today, it doesn't look like she's pretending to be serious."

"..." If you don't care about this, it's hard to say whether you have a tacit understanding with some master.

Mrs. Jia sighed:

"Is the prince's situation so difficult now?" Several princes openly wooed the ministers.

"The emperor still loves the prince a lot, but... the father and son of the Tian family, it's hard to say. Besides, the prince's reputation in the past one or two years is not very good."

"Since our family is under the fourth elder brother's banner, we can't join other sects, but we can't be too sincere. You have to think about how to do it!"

Nian Gengyao was silent, he was thinking about whether to tell Mrs. Jia about Jinyao's affairs in the fourth elder brother's year.

After thinking about it, I still didn't say anything. Don't let my mother worry too much about the disappearance.

"By the way, I asked you to contact Prince Ping, how is the progress?"

Nian Gengyao frowned:

"I'm afraid it won't work. King Pingjun is very cautious. I have invited him several times but he has not responded. Usually, when we meet, he just nods in a distant way. He has never deliberately talked to me, and I found that he and other important ministers are the same. In this way, it seems to be avoiding suspicion."

For such a person who doesn't want to cause trouble, it may be difficult for him to propose marriage with the Nian family.

Mrs. Jia rubbed her head:

"This is the disadvantage of having no one in the harem. You can't even disclose any news. What does the emperor mean? You haven't hinted at your father. Could it be possible that you want to be included in the harem?"

At this thought, Mrs. Jia couldn't sit still.

Nian Gengyao hurriedly comforted her:

"It's useless to think too much now. What father and I can do is to show our ability and potential, so that the emperor can't easily marry my sister."

As for being included in the harem, if the emperor really has this idea, he also has an emergency solution, but this method is definitely difficult for my mother to accept, so it's hard to talk about it now.

The draft is coming soon, and Jin Yao has been preparing for the draft without going out.

Clothes and jewelry were already prepared, and she didn't want to enter the palace, so she didn't plan to dress up much, and the things she prepared were quite standard, so she didn't need to worry too much.

What she's busy with now is that Nanny Sun is teaching her urgently how to dress herself and comb her hair.

This is not a small difficulty for Jinyao who stretches out her hand when she is dressed, and opens her mouth when she eats.

Looking at the many ties on the clothes, Jin Yao's head is getting bigger:

"Who stipulates that Hanfu should be worn in the draft? When will you wear so many pieces layered on top of each other? Why can't you just wear the flag dress?" The flag dress is so good, simple, without so many colors and colors. Accessories.

"My sister is tired, let's take a break and talk about the common incense in the palace!"

"Uh..." Jin Yao wanted to faint.

"Fragrance has mutual generation and mutual restraint, especially the eunuchs and maids in the palace, many of them are from the previous dynasty. No one can tell what they have in their hands. Maybe they will fall into it if they don't pay attention. Now let's talk about the common ones... ..."

Jinyao really wanted to cry, but she hoped that the draft would come soon.

However, before the draft, Nian Gengyao's wedding banquet came first.

The middle-aged Gengyao's article in the palace examination was highly appreciated by the emperor, and he won the second place in the list, and was on the first list!

This year's family banquet was much more lively than the last time Jinyao and his sister were there.

Needless to say, there are more male customers, but there are more wives, grandmas, and girls than male customers, and the masters of the family are all busy.

It is worth mentioning that Mrs. Fan also brought her daughter Fan Yuxiu here. When Jinyao met Fan Yuxiu under the overpass, she wore a veiled hat, so Fan Yuxiu didn't know her.

But Fan Yuxiu knew Si Ling who was following the sedan chair, so when she was greeting each other with Jin Yao with a smile, she suddenly became dumb when she saw Si Ling.

It was Mrs. Fan who felt that she was being rude, and even apologized to Mrs. Jia. Pan Yuxiu, who came back to her senses, could not have known that she had made a scene that day, saying that she was poor, and that the other party's family background was actually higher than hers. On the first floor, her face became hot all of a sudden, and others only thought it was because of her rudeness just now, but they would not have thought that it was because she threw money at Jinyao on the street.

Halfway through the banquet, Jin Ling came over and whispered a few words in Jin Yao's ear. Jin Yao apologized to the girls around her and followed her out.

"Second brother didn't say what's wrong with me?"

"No, the woman guarding the gate said that it was Yushui, the servant next to the second master, who told the girl to go to the second gate."

Jinyao was dubious, and took two bells and two girls from the happy generation to the second gate.

"Hey, didn't you say that the second brother has something to say, where is he?"

A person came out from the shadow, and Jin Yao stared at him with wide eyes.

"It's the master who told your brother's servant to pass on the words."

"You pretended to be my brother to trick me??"

"...That's right!"

Jinyao doesn't know what to say, are people who do wrong not guilty at all?

Yinzhen suddenly laughed:

"The draft is coming up the day after tomorrow, are you nervous?"

"I've been so busy these days that I forgot to be nervous. When you said it, I remembered it again."

"Don't be afraid, the fourth brother is here!" After speaking, he himself felt a little embarrassed, and turned around.
