Chapter 203(1/2)

Zhao Changqing doesn't like the song "Wishing Qingyun", she always feels a little sad.

Every time she hears this song, she always remembers the first time Chu Yu played "Blessings in Xinglin. The King of Shu left after just listening to a song "Blessings in Qingyun", and Zhao Changqing also brought Xia Yu back home.

Zhao Changqing only told Xia Yu that she was a friend of the elders in the family. Xia Yu was young and easy to fool, so she did not ask questions. Zhao Changqing held the jade ring in her palm to appreciate it. She didn't know that the King of Shu actually recognized this thing. At that time, when she first met the Grand Master, Zhu thought that she was quite in line with her eyes, so she gave the jade ring to her casually. Later, when she sorted out the things that Grand Master Zhu gave her, she saw a calligraphy written by the King of Shu, and realized that Grand Master Zhu knew him and the King of Shu. However, Zhao Changqing did not expect to meet the King of Shu in the Immortal Palace.

Zhao Changqing met the King of Shu, but it was not a strange adventure. The King of Shu just asked about Grandpa Zhu, but Yuzhe didn't ask any more questions, and did not ask any more questions about Grandpa Zhu's great-granddaughter Zhao Changqing. It seemed that he was just passing by in a hurry, or the jade ring had a spirit, so that she could bring the last news to King of Shu about Grandpa Zhu.

Zhao Changqing quickly put this matter behind his mind and focused on preparing what Xia Wenqiu used. From clothes to food, there are special regulations. Exams are the most anti-cheating. For example, clothes must be single-layered. For example, food, pastries must be cut into small pieces inches square. Even steamed buns must be cut, even buns cannot be made. In short, all kinds of strictness are required.

Although Xia Wen is busy studying and visiting friends, Zhao Changqing is not easy to accompany the exam.

When the osmanthus is fragrant in August, the osmanthus tree in the yard is very old. The osmanthus flowers blooming are extremely brilliant and golden, with a strong fragrance. The whole yard is very fragrant. Xia Wen did not sleep all night last night. After dinner early in the morning, Feng Yin came to him. The two of them neither wrote poems nor wrote essays in the study, and they were waiting for the list without even having breakfast. The servants of the two went to wait outside the tribute courtyard.

For a moment, Yongfu brought in a bottle of fresh osmanthus. Zhao Changqing liked to use flowers to soak up the house. Now in August, the one who put a bottle in Xia Wen's study room changed to the osmanthus.

Feng Yin’s calmest person was very happy to see this flower and laughed, “This flower is good.”

Yongfu smiled, "My grandma has ordered someone to send a bottle to Mr. Feng's yard."

Feng Yin smiled, "Thank you for your brother and sister." He had a friendship with Xia Wensu, but his family was far from the Xia family. This time he was able to live in the Fu family together, which was a great help. Even before the exam, Zhao Changqing prepared more things for the autumn examination, and also prepared for Feng Yin. Feng Yin often said that Xia Wen married a virtuous wife. Of course, his wife was also very virtuous. In recent years, he wanted to take the imperial examination, and his wife worked hard to manage family affairs and serve his parents. If he could pass the imperial examination, he could still be worthy of his wife's hard work over the years.

It didn't take long, but for Xia and Feng, it was really too long. When the scorching sun rose from the east and golden light scattered in the world, the two servants ran home with excitement on their faces. In fact, there was no need to ask, just look at this description and you will know that it was all good news. Xia Wengui's eleventh place on the list and Feng Yingui's thirty-third place on the list are both excellent rankings.

Men don’t cry easily because they are not happy.

Not to mention Feng Yin's joyful tears, even Xia Wen's eyes were red... Needless to say, the things that followed were all happy events. The officials who came to report the good news also tied up a big red flower. Zhao Changqing rewarded the officials and listened to a set of flattery words of congratulations. Even the Fu family was very happy for the two men. Old Mrs. Fu was also organizing two tables of wine, and they were lively. Aunt Xiaoxia asked Zhao Changqing with a smile, "Can you send someone back to your hometown to report the good news?"

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I have already told Ping'an to go back soon. My parents-in-law at home knows it, but they don't know how to be happy."

Aunt Xiaoxia held Zhao Changqing's hand and smiled, "It's worth your careful care of Brother Wen for more than a year, and he finally failed you."

Zhao Changqing laughed, "My uncle is willing to work hard for me to help and guide my husband like this."

Old Mrs. Fu joked, "I think, there is also the reason why you are prosperous for your husband."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Old Mrs. Cheng is happy to say that, then I hope to be prosperous all the way."

For a moment, there were laughter and joy in the house.

Xia Wen stayed at Fu's house for two more days, and basically went out to have a drink and social gathering every day. When the proud people were together, they naturally felt endless passionate and endless friendship. After several important wines, Xia Wen said goodbye to his aunt and uncle. He had to take his wife and sister home, and the family must be thinking about it. Old Mrs. Fu and Aunt Xia did not leave any trouble, and they both laughed, "I'll be happy for a few days when I got home."

Xia Wen laughed, "I can't stay at home for a few days. I have made an appointment with a few friends to go to the imperial capital together. Next year will be the year of the competition, and it will be here in a blink of an eye."

Aunt Xiaoxia nodded and smiled, "Brother Wen has become lucky, just go, your uncle said that your Wenhuohou has arrived, and there is no big problem."

After saying a moment, Xia Wen took his wife and sister to bid farewell. Xiao Xia's aunt, Xiao Fu, took three sons to the door. Xiao Xia's aunt, was a little reluctant and said, "I don't realize it. When you leave, my heart will be empty."

Xia Wen comforted his aunt and said, "Don't worry, aunt, I'll come again when I go to the imperial capital. Even if I arrive in the imperial capital, it's easy to communicate with letters now. Don't worry about me, I will be fine."

"well."

Everyone said another thing, and Xiao Fu uncle said, "Go, Qingcheng County has only been away from Chengdu Prefecture for more than half a day, so don't delay too long. When will I have time to have time, it's cheaper for me to send your aunt back. You can set off now and get home early, so we can rest assured."

When Zhao Changqing heard the sound of flutes coming and going in the city, it was a song "Blessings in the Qingyun". It seemed to be to drink the joy in the city. Feng Yin also blew the flute in the car behind, but it was still "Blessings in the Qingyun". The sky is rising straight, probably the common ambition of men in the world.

Suddenly another choking smell of incense came. Xia Wen raised the curtain and took a look and put it down, and smiled, "Now the person who fulfilled his wish in the Immortal Palace burned incense and burned it like a fire." Today he was lazy and stopped riding a horse, and took the same car with Zhao Changqing. As long as he was together, even if he didn't speak, Xia Wen felt full of joy.

Zhao Changqing laughed, "The incense in the Immortal Palace is still extremely powerful."

Xia Wen laughed, "When talking about "Zhu Qingyun", there is also an allusion of jade flute, do you know?"

Zhao Changqing didn't know, "It was said in history that when Tang Shenxian wrote "Zhu Qingyun", the tune was high and a bamboo flute was cracked, so he had only half a song at first. When Emperor Fengwu heard about this, he gave Tang Shenxian a jade flute, and Tang Shenxian completed the whole song Zhu Qingyun. Is this a classic?"

Xia Wen laughed, "Then the flute given to Tang Shenxian by Emperor Fengwu also has an excellent name. Do you know what it is?"

Zhao Changqing didn't know this.

"That flute is called Qingyun." Xia Wen thought of an interesting story and laughed, "In the past, a classmate, who had a wealthy family, got a jade flute with the signature of Emperor Fengwu on it, so he thought it was Qingyun. Niu brags to the sky, and then took it to the school to taste it for the mountain chief. The mountain chief said, 'The flute is called Qingyun, but it is carved by purple jade. Therefore, the historical books are called Ziyu Qingyun. Why do you bring a jade flute?' We laughed so hard that our stomachs hurt. The Master was angry that he had read the book in vain and was fined for several days before he finished his homework."

Zhao Changqing couldn't help but smile and said, "Isn't this a miserable fraud?"

"Yes, the flute is also carved with great jade materials, but it is not worth a thousand taels. He wanted to pick it up, but he didn't want to cheat someone a lot of money. It was okay to be cheated of some money, but he lost his ugly face in school. Where can he put his face?"

Zhao Changqing smiled and said, "Don't always talk about others, I don't believe that there was no embarrassing thing happening when you were studying."

"If you have it, there is only one." Xia Wen laughed. "Once I didn't memorize my homework well in school, and my master punished me to go to Houshan Spring to make tea for him. At that time, I was young and didn't understand the difference between water. I thought that water and water were not the same, so I found a small river nearby and made two cans of water to hand over to my husband. The master tasted it and scolded me for fooling him with the river."

"What happened later?"

"It's not a big deal." Xia Wen laughed, "I just couldn't go home after school for a whole month. I had to go to Houshan to carry the spring water for my master before I could go home. I wouldn't dare to take advantage of the situation in the future."

Zhao Changqing smiled Xia Wen very much.

I went home with a chat and laugh all the way. The Xia family was eagerly looking forward to it. Seeing Xia Wen back, the neighbors and clansmen all came to congratulate me. Two firecrackers were lit at the door. There was no need to mention the bustling Xia family. That night, Mrs. Xia was so happy that she cramped her face, so Xia Wen had to go and give me some acupuncture.

The next day, Xia Wen went to Mr. Wang's house to visit the old man. After returning, he discussed with his parents about going to the imperial capital to prepare for the spring examination. Although the family was hard to leave, he hoped that Xia Wen could find a future with all his energy. Mrs. Xia said worriedly, "Where should I live if I go?"

Xia Wen laughed, "What a vast land in the imperial capital? Is there a place to live? Mother, don't worry. A few days ago, Mr. Su sent a letter from him, saying that they had arrived at the imperial capital and rented a house. He knew that we had to go there, so he specially left a yard for us. I discussed with my wife that when I went to the imperial capital, I lived in the same place. Everyone was together and loved each other."

Mrs. Xia was so happy, "That's a good student, Mr. Su, I forgot, right? Ah Bai passed the imperial examination one year earlier than you, and that child was very good at learning." Not only is it convenient, but the key is reliability. Mrs. Xia said again, "I just don't know how Aning's performance this year's autumn examination?"

Zhao Changning smiled, "I'll know when I arrive in the imperial capital."

Mr. Xia said, "The second uncle of your patriarch's family is an official in the imperial capital. I will write a letter. Don't forget to pay your respects when you go to the imperial capital."

Xia Wen laughed, "Where can I use my father to write a letter, I can go by myself."

Mr. Xia laughed, "It's not a big deal for people to blame, and writing a letter will not cost anything."

Zhao Changqing had just rested at her husband's house for two days before starting to pack up her greetings again, preparing to go to the imperial capital. Of course, Zhao Changqing really wanted to go to the imperial capital. She hadn't seen Mr. Su for a long time. And Sister Lin, I wonder how Sister Lin's business is doing.

Zhao Changqing was thinking about packing up the ceremony when he heard a news: The cousin Yang, who was taken into the mansion by the Prince of Shu, was released home.

The news came from Xia Yu and Zhao Changqing. Xia Yu said, "It's a good thing that my uncle has a big face, so he invited my mother over. If I knew it was going to see my aunt, I wouldn't go." Xia Yu followed her mother to her grandmother's house, so she knew it clearly and told Zhao Changqing vividly. "I was shocked when I saw Cousin Yang. My mother asked her if she was going home to visit her. Cousin Yang also cried. What's there to cry? At the time, my elder brother was a scholar in No. 1 Middle School. My aunt wanted to get married. After the marriage, my cousin took a look at the Shu Prince's Mansion. My aunt came over to withdraw from the bride. Our family didn't say anything. Later, our family suffered a sudden disaster for no reason, all because of her."

Xia Yu was quite angry and asked Zhao Changqing, "Sister-in-law, why did the Shu Prince let her go home? Is it because the Shu Prince doesn't like her anymore?"

Zhao Changqing also didn't understand the reason and laughed, "I don't know this either. But the palace maids in the palace have been released for several years. I think it's the same for the Shu Palace."

Xia Yujijigugu spoke with Chang'an sister-in-law for half a day. After a while, Mrs. Xia called Zhao Changqing to go over and talk about the Yang family. Mrs. Xia felt unhappy because she saw the Yang family today. She said similar to Zhao Changqing's gossip. Mrs. Xia said, "Maybe I didn't accumulate virtue in my previous life, so I have cultivated such a sister." Then she talked about the past, "Brother Wen became a scholar on the 16th. At that time, my family was still alive. My parents' family only had such a sister. She

The Yang family is also considered a scholarly family, but your uncle Yang family has only achieved the title of scholar in his life. If you want to get married first, your aunt mentioned it first. I thought, Sister Fu's child looks well-behaved on weekdays, so she agreed." Mrs. Xia said simply, but it almost caused a family accident at the beginning, and it was nothing else. Old Mrs. Xia always wanted to marry her niece to Xia Wen, but Mrs. Xia started to take action in advance and decided to marry her niece Yang Yufu. Old Mrs. Xia was almost out of trouble.

"Later, I don't know why Sister Fu got the eyes of Prince Shu. Your aunt came to me cry and retreated, saying that she didn't dare to offend the Prince Shu family." Mrs. Xia sighed, "Although I was angry, my family's small family dared to fight with the Prince's Mansion, so she gritted her teeth and accepted it. Who knew that the disaster suddenly came to an end later. Today I thought it was your grandmother who had something to do, so she took Sister Yu over and saw Sister Fu, which scared me. Guess what Sister Fu said, "She said Prince Shu hated her for having a marriage with our family, so she signaled her subordinates to punish your father-in-law."

Zhao Changqing thought for a moment and smiled, "My cousin's words are really implicit. She has been married, but the prince of Shu is not unaware of it, and our family did not refuse to retreat. If the prince of Shu hated her for getting engaged with our family, he signaled his subordinates to punish his father-in-law. However, it may be because my cousin was unforgettable to me for her husband's old love, and angered the prince of Shu in the Shu palace, and it is still possible to vent his anger from our family."

Mrs. Xia's face flashed with embarrassment, and Zhao Changqing knew it. She thought that the Yang family's cousin cried to Mrs. Xia and told her that she had no choice. Mrs. Xia was afraid that she would be too careless and could not speak to her, so she changed her words tactfully. Mrs. Xia sighed, "No matter what she said, it's because of her that the family suffered this disaster. It would be fine to know that there was such a relative in the future, and there was no need to interact with her."

"I understand." Zhao Changqing smiled and advised, "Mother-in-law, don't take these trivial matters to heart. As long as my husband has a good future, those who dislike our family at the beginning can only be said to have no vision."

Zhao Changqing's words hit Mrs. Xia's heart. Now that her son has just passed the imperial examination, Mrs. Xia is in a good mood. Mrs. Xia smiled and sighed, "I have nothing, I've been through hard days. I'm just an old lady, I don't know what to say again."

After many years of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Xia has figured out the pulse of Mrs. Xia. After Mrs. Xia learned that Yang Yufu returned from the Shu Palace, she said in front of Mrs. Xia, "I have long said that the girl is in a bad life, so you have to make her decision for Brother Wen. Just a few years after getting engaged, the eldest son was sued. Our family is in great trouble. She is not all the ones that she has to resist. Now, the Shu Palace has released her back to save her life, otherwise what might happen."

Mrs. Xia sat silently.

Zhao Changqing didn't speak, she had heard of the noble arguments of Old Lady Xia. When something happened to the Chu family, many people still said this. Even Zhao Changqing herself always doubted that it was because of her? Because of her rebirth, the fate of the Chu family changed.

Mrs. Xia Er, who still came to help, smiled, "Hey, I want me to tell you that there is nothing better than a niece-in-law. Since I married my niece-in-law, I feel that our brother Wen has nothing to do with it."

Old Mrs. Xia put her mouth on her cheeks and raised her chin and said, "That's also Brother Wen is talented and learned. He won the scholar at 16. How many people in this world can become scholar at 16! Our Brother Wen is learning like this. Whoever marrys will be blessed!"

Mrs. Xia was about to flatter Mrs. Xia, but Mrs. Xia was slapped in the face and asked Zhao Changqing, "Sunny's wife, do you think so?"

"I am naturally the happiest to be able to achieve fame and fortune." Zhao Changqing felt that if he stopped talking, the old lady Xia's tail would be raised to the sky, so he smiled lightly, "It is not uncommon for a scholarly clan like the Xia family who has experienced three dynasties to be a juren Jinshi. Even my relatives and juren Jinshi are very common. Who is still pounding the gongs and shouting poorly, not the slim family spirit, nor is it the rules of our family like us. The road ahead is still long, and I often advise my husband to be proud if he takes the juren.

The future of a lifetime is nothing more than this. Don’t mention a juren, even if he is a gold medal next year, there is no need to make a fuss. Which of the officials of the six ministers of the imperial court is not from a Jinshi? Who is not a well-educated person in the Hanlin Academy? Chengenhou, the father of the Empress, was the head of the case at the age of 12, won the Jie Yuan at the age of 16, and occupied the head of the imperial pen. He personally scored the top scorer in the gold medal list, winning three yuan in a row. He is still a beautiful story. The six cabinet members complement each other, who is not good at learning? Who has no knowledge? Old lady, you are the most knowledgeable, do you think, are you right? "

For a moment, the old lady Xia's house dispersed. Zhao Changqing went back to her room to rest. Mrs. Xia's second wife went to Mrs. Xia's house. Since Xia Wen passed the imperial examination, the relationship between the two sisters-in-law became more and more harmonious. Mrs. Xia was shocked, "The niece-in-law is really amazing. Everyone knows the matter in the imperial capital so clearly." In fact, Mrs. Xia didn't understand much. She pretended to understand, "The lady of the official family has been studying since childhood, so she naturally understands the truth of the world." This is why Mrs. Xia wants her daughter to study. You can see how confident people who have studied and seen the world are.

After Xia Wen returned home, he heard about the Yang cousin. After being surprised, he just sighed calmly and said, "Now I think about the past again, it's like the previous life."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Fortunately, it's all over." The Xia family is not a saint. No matter how difficult the Yang family has, it is impossible for them to let go of their past grudges.

Xia Wen did not take the matter of the Yang family to heart and said to his wife, "This time, I won four Juren in our county. One of them was not ranked well and was not ready to end next year. The three of us traveled together. The boat has been booked, and I thought, we will go to my aunt's house tomorrow and see the gentleman. We will set off now."

"good."

Aunt Xiaoxia naturally gave another farewell reminder. Uncle Xiaofu worked in Hanlin in the imperial capital, and had one or two good friends. She wrote a letter of recommendation to Xia Wen and asked him to take it with her, and she was very dedicated.

When he arrived at Mr. Wang's mansion, Zhao Changqing went to talk to Master Mu. Master Mu laughed, "Most men want to go to the power field to see. I know that you treat me and Mr. as your master in your heart, but don't say that when you are in the imperial capital. A few years ago, Prince Fude's family died on the fiefdom." Master Mu sighed.

Although she lived for two lifetimes, Zhao Changqing's vision was not yet broad enough to the level of the royal family of the imperial capital. She just listened to Master Mu's unfinished intentions and comforted him, "I remember what Master Mu meant. I saw that the world was small, and I also envied Master Mu for his deep affection."

Master Mu smiled, "You are a sensible person, and your life is in your own hands."

Zhao Changqing accompanied Master Mu to chat with the rice she used at Mr. Wang’s mansion at noon. After a while, the couple said goodbye. Xia Wen was drunk and Zhao Changqing asked, “Have you eaten wine?”

When he helped Zhao Changqing get on the car, Xia Wen was a little drunk and did not ride a horse. He took the car together. Xia Wen whispered, "I only ate two glasses, and the sir is not good at drinking. The fifteenth Master is also there. The fifteenth Master said that the maids in the Shu Palace are old, and in addition to matching with people, they will also put some homes to match. I think the fifteenth Master said it intentionally."

After thinking about it, Zhao Changqing could not understand why the fifteenth prince said this, and then said, "These royal families have curved hearts." She didn't think that the King of Shu would take her seriously, and not to mention whether the Yang family's cousin came home or not. Even the Yu Xia family has nothing to do with it now.

Xia Wen was different from Zhao Changqing's consideration. Xia Wen had always been worried and happy first. At this time, he could not know the reason. Xia Wen said, "No matter how he bent, the fifteenth young master deliberately showed his voice. I thought it was to let us rest assured. I thought it was not malicious. Let's go to the imperial capital now. In the future, if the mountains are high and the road is far away, no matter how powerful the Shu Palace is, it will not be able to take care of the imperial capital."

Zhao Changqing took out the sobering stone from his purse and told him to hold it in his mouth, laughing, "Yes."

The group was still a maid and servant, who was too trivial to bring, so they cleaned up three major cars. In addition, Xia Wen's two classmates gathered together to have only one cart. Because they were new juren, they all changed their guns and cannons, and they were all glamorous. They brought two servants to serve each other, and their families were sent to the dock, and they felt a breakup.

Mrs. Xia reminded her son for the first thousand and first time, "Be careful of her body. Although fame and fortune are important, her body is even more important. Don't work too much."

Xia Wen responded patiently with a smile.

Mrs. Xia took Zhao Changqing's hand and said, "If Awen goes to the imperial capital alone, I can't feel at ease. With you by his side, I will not worry about anything. You have always been thorough and sensible, and I have nothing to give me. Just say, be kinder to myself, and I will feel at ease. Don't worry about your family affairs. Hello, your family will be fine. When you arrive in the imperial capital, if you ask someone to send a letter back, your family will be at ease."
