Houmen Fenghua: Meet the best evil mother-in-law

Chapter 777 Palace Exam
"I didn't expect them to live together. This is a happy event." Li Wenchong's face was full of joy, and he was talking to Gu Qingling with a smile.

One is her grandson and the other is her grandson-in-law, which can be described as "double happiness".

Gu Qingling was happy to hear that, but for some reason, she suddenly said, "Both of them won the prize, so no one would suspect them of cooperating in cheating, right?"

"Uh... why do you think that?" Li Wenchong had a strange expression.

Gu Qingling looked at him and said, "They are brother-in-law."

"So? There is no shortage of brothers-in-law in this world. Mr. Liu, his son married a girl from Mr. Zhao's family..." Li Wenchong said, "Also, Mr. Zhou..."

Marriage between North Korean and Chinese officials is simply not normal.

Which parent doesn't want their children to marry better?
Now that I have become an official, the marriage partner of my children should naturally be "the right family". If this family is right, then...

"Unless there is something wrong with my mind, my good daughter doesn't marry a well-matched family, but let her marry some lower Liba people? Marry a daughter-in-law from a high family, marry a daughter from a low family, this has been the case since ancient times."

Well, Gu Qingling couldn't refute.

The family is right, and the family is right, so naturally there must be a certain degree of opinion.

If you are a petty official, you can marry a girl from a richer family, but if you are the daughter of a high-ranking official, who will you marry?

Either rich, or powerful, always stick to the same.

Even if the person married is not an official, there must be someone who is an official in the family, otherwise within a generation or two, it will decline.

Unless it is a last resort, most people will not choose this way.

There are quite a lot of brothers-in-law in court, but they are not well-known, their official status is not obvious, and there is no conflict of interest, so they have not attracted people's attention.

The one with the most marriages is probably the royal family.

The more important the minister in the court, the more likely he will be valued by the emperor, and the more likely he will be married.

For example, "Yu Guifei", the mother of the First Prince, came from one of the three masters, the "Taibao Mansion".

When it comes to the eldest concubine Zhou Xuanrui, her father is also an important minister in the court.

Looking at it this way, Gu Qingling was startled. Everyone thought that the First Prince's Mansion was not favored, but Concubine Yu herself had a very high family background, and the First Prince's Concubine was also from a good family background.

So, where did everyone know that the eldest prince Li Jian is not favored?
Could it be because the eldest prince Li Jian was made king of Ye County later than the second prince Li Jin was named king of Jin County?

Gu Qingling touched his chin, thinking that it was really possible.

After all, the eldest prince Li Jian was made king of Ye County after she traveled to this world. It has been several years since the second prince Li Jin was made king of Jin County.

In addition, the second prince Li Jin was often praised for his outstanding achievements, so everyone believed that the second prince Li Jin was more favored and more likely to inherit that position.

Gu Qingling felt that she had discovered the "truth".

But she didn't say this.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the palace examination.

Gu Qingling and Li Wenchong personally sent Yao Anhong and Huo Botao inside.

Among them, Li Wenchong had to stand in the government because of his status.

Therefore, when the two arrived at the palace examination site, they found that Li Wenchong, who had just broken up, was standing beside Emperor Mingguang.

The two of them had no official position, so it was difficult for them to face the emperor's face directly, and they could only see the corner of Emperor Mingguang's robe.

In the ear, there are the rules of the examination room that the eunuch is reading out.

The family members have already explained everything in advance, and it sounds like it's just another way of saying it.

The two knew it well. Although they were a little nervous, they calmed down after hearing the familiar plan of the examination room.

Especially Yao Anhong, when he found that Li Wenchong was on the scene, he relaxed.

Because he knew that as long as he did not commit the crime of beheading, even if he made some small mistakes in the examination room, his life would not be in danger if Li Wenchong interceded.

at most……

At most, he will be deprived of his fame and reputation, and he will no longer be able to take the imperial examination.

If it was before, Yao Anhong would definitely feel that it is such a serious matter to be kicked out of his fame, but since Gu Qingling told him that his body and safety are the most important, gradually, Yao Anhong also felt that—maybe fame is very important , able to prove himself, but more importantly he.

His fame is gone, he is still alive, and he can have other ways out; but if his life is gone, it is a white-haired person giving a black-haired person, and nothing is left.

"The exam begins..."

Following the eunuch's shout, all the candidates sat down in their seats.

After a while, someone sent down the test papers.

Yao Anhong looked at the content and was a little surprised, but the topic was still related to the locust plague?
Huh?
Didn't the test come out?

It's just that the content of the examination is relatively detailed, and it is some specific writing methods for treating locust plagues.

Yao Anhong was fortunate to help Yao Jiuye sort out the locust article in "Natural History", and he learned a lot.But today, it seems to be a bigger topic - how to manage or defend the Daming locust plague for a long time.

After a moment of silence, Yao Anhong picked up the draft and started to move.

If you ask him other questions, he may still be a little uncertain, but this question...

It's just a question.

……

After the exam, Yao Anhong breathed a sigh of relief.

He has done what he should have done, and it is up to God what the final outcome will be.

He didn't know what was going on with the others. Anyway, he had finished the exam and he relaxed.

When he came out of the examination room, there was a eunuch waiting there.

"Master Hong, the master ordered this servant to wait for you here."

Yao Anhong was slightly surprised, because the person who came was none other than Li Wenchong's personal eunuch Rong Ge.Apart from the old matriarch Gu Qingling and Emperor Mingguang, how many eunuchs who can command Li Wenchong's side?

But now, Jung is leading him the way with a sincere face.

It turned out that Li Wenchong was afraid that he would be "calculated" after the exam, so he arranged for Rong to come over.This place is no different than other places, and it is just a door away from the harem. He is not familiar with the place where he was born.

Sure enough, as soon as Jung took Yao Anhong away, an unfamiliar eunuch came and said he was looking for Yao Anhong.

Huo Botao took a few more glances and said, "Oh, Mr. Yao has already left."

"Why are you leaving? Slave...the slave is still here..." The young eunuch looked shocked.

Huo Botao didn't say much, as if he didn't know.

The little eunuch had no choice but to turn around and leave.

Afterwards, when the eunuch arranged by Huo Botao and Princess Chengjun left, he told Princess Chengjun about it.

Princess Chengjun's face changed slightly: "You haven't encountered such a situation, have you?"

Huo Botao said: "Someone did come to look for my nephew on the way, but you told me before that unless Qinghe father-in-law escorted him personally, my nephew can't go with anyone, so my nephew made excuses to delay and waited until Qinghe father-in-law showed up. I went with Qing and father-in-law."

"I knew that those guys would definitely not just let it go." Princess Chengjun gritted her teeth, thinking that King Chengjun hadn't even returned for the Chinese New Year, she wished she could tear off a layer of skin from those people.

She asked Huo Botao to go play with his cousin Li Juncai, then called her eldest son Li Jing over, and asked him to quietly send a message to Prince Chong's residence.

For the Huo family, she can greet her in person, but Huo Botao is also the grandson-in-law of Concubine Chongqin, so she still has to say hello.

Gu Qingling became angry when he heard it: "What do they mean? It's fine to count Brother Hong, but they want to take both of them together? Do they think the Yao family is easy to bully, or do they think I, Gu Qingling, are easy to bully?"

One is her own grandson, and the other is her grandson-in-law, who dare to play tricks on such an important occasion as the palace examination, isn't this a slap in the face of her?
Gu Qingling doesn't think she has much face in the capital, but now she is Princess Chongqin, and her husband is the number one celebrity in front of Emperor Mingguang.
