The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 904
Winter in Beijing always comes early, and November is about to enter the world of ice and snow, so the first snow this year is a bit late.

A pair of cloud-toed brocade shoes with Baoxiang pattern stepped on the thin snow. Because it was a little slippery, the owner of the shoes did not walk fast.

"Oh! Princess, let's not go from here, you see the uppers of the shoes are wet."

Chong Lou helped her daughter carefully walk out from the Chaoshou verandah, passing through the garden that had become somewhat depressed due to the cold winter.

"Brother came back early today, let's go find him quickly, maybe he has to go to his father again."

Princess Rongjia felt that the embroidered shoes under her feet were a little wet, but she didn't care, and would change them later when she went back.

"Princess, why do you need to be so anxious? The son just had dinner, and he must be still digesting now!"

Chong Lou sighed, the princess was reprimanded by His Royal Highness during the day, and it was the time when she was feeling down.

Even if she wanted to persuade her, she had to be more careful than usual.Otherwise, if you offend the Princess, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess must not spare herself.

Thinking of Lu Qiao who was beaten ten times today and still lying unconscious on the bed, Chong Lou couldn't help shivering.

Her Highness's cold and ruthless eyes made her still have lingering fears. How could she dare to be dissatisfied with the princess?
Thinking of the former lively and eccentric Lv Qiao lying on the bed dying, Chong Lou felt uncomfortable.

Although the princess has already begged for mercy, how can Her Royal Highness listen to it?His Highness has always been merciless when it comes to matters involving several masters in the mansion.

But she was also relieved at the same time. Fortunately, she was only fined three months' monthly money, so she didn't have to suffer like Lu Qiao.

But Lu Qiao's miserable appearance really frightened the other maids serving in the princess' house, and everyone served the princess with trepidation today, fearing that His Royal Highness and the princess would be dissatisfied.

In fact, this incident is really not to blame for Lu Qiao, the princess has recently gotten very close to the old lady in Mrs. Gu's house in the Imperial Academy, and often made appointments to go shopping for rouge and gouache shops and go to temples to offer incense.

This is not out of line, but the person who made the appointment is wrong!If the Princess asked some family member out, how could His Highness be so angry?

But the princess had an appointment with the old lady of Mr. Gu's family. In the words of the eldest princess, she was born with mud legs.And I heard that when the old lady was still a girl, she actually worked as a girl in the house of Mr. Jiang, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry.

And Mr. Gu is still only a sixth grade now, even though the teacher is the former first assistant Liang Zhirui, there are three seniors who are not low grade.But Liang Shoufu is not the first assistant now, and he has no connections in the officialdom.
Besides, the relationship between the brothers and sisters may not be very good, Mr. He, the minister of Honglu Temple, is not very close to Mr. Gu.

These are His Highness's original words, and she really heard them at that time.

With such a background, no matter how capable Mr. Gu himself is, he will be able to rise to the top in the future, but that is all in the future.

In short, the eldest princess is extremely dissatisfied with Mrs. Gu's old lady.

It is said that the old lady of Gu's family has very bad manners, and the current Gu's family can't even reach the upstarts, and it is not a decent and good family at all.

But where is the princess's temperament so docile?Isn't it?Just exchanged words with His Highness, His Highness was so angry that he smashed his favorite white jade tea tray.

He also yelled that it was the old lady who led the princess badly, and in just a few days, all the rules learned in the past ten years were wasted.

His Highness was very angry, and the consequences were naturally serious.As a result, Lu Qiao, who had been running out of the mansion with the princess, suffered disaster.

Who made the princess like Lv Qiao's cleverness, and ordered her to serve her at all times?Lu Qiao is just a girl, how can she beat her master?Naturally, the only thing to do is to be obedient.

As for He Huan, another second-class girl who often went out of the mansion with the princess, Chong Lou didn't even dare to recall.

Today, after His Highness asked the mother-in-law to arrest him, she never saw He Huan again.

This time, even the second-class maids serving in the house became the fish in the pond, and they were all fined a monthly fee, and they were all fined to kneel.

Only myself was fined a month's money, because I was a big girl and had to serve the princess.Otherwise, they will all be fined, who will serve the princess?

Chong Lou glanced back, seeing that no one was chasing after him, he couldn't help but get angry.

These clumsy girls are so slow to pick up a pair of shoes.If the princess caught cold, they would all have to walk around without food.

The snowflakes that were originally sparse and bright suddenly became denser, and the biting cold wind was also mixed in during the period.Let Chong Lou, holding an umbrella and supporting his master, shudder.

She shrank her neck, feeling helpless in her heart.

"Princess, be careful. It just rained during the day, and it snowed again at night. It's a bit freezing right now."

Looking at the bright candlelight in the front yard, Princess Rongjia didn't notice what Chonglou said, but quickened her pace instead.

Qin Min just finished dinner and went to the study.

He leaned on the back of the chair and rubbed his forehead. After a tiring day, he still had to take care of those trivial matters in the mansion after he came back.

Mother has to be strong-tempered. Because of her status as the eldest princess, father and mother naturally give in a lot when getting along.

But as time went by, there was a lot of estrangement between the two.Therefore, my father doesn't like to manage the affairs of the house, and he doesn't often come to the princess mansion.

Father stays in Duke Qin's mansion for more than half a month every month, and he doesn't want to live in the princess' mansion for a long time.

And my mother's temper is also very stubborn, and she never bows her head.Over the years, the relationship between mother and father is naturally estranged.

He still remembered that when he was a child, his mother often took them to live in the eldest princess's mansion, and he seldom went back to the Duke's mansion at that time.

Shaking his head, Qin Min put the past behind him, and now it is Sister Ying who bothers him.

As soon as he came back today, he heard his wife Dai say that sister Ying had quarreled with his mother and made her very angry.

He was also very helpless for this sister.This girl's temper is really like her mother's, as tough as she is.

"My lord! It's the third girl who came." Qin Min was a little surprised when the voice of the steward came from outside.

He also felt that it was too late today, so he planned to come back early tomorrow to persuade sister Ying, but he didn't expect this girl to come to him so late.

"Let her in!"

"Brother!" Qin Yingyuan entered the study, and seeing her elder brother's tired face, she called softly and saluted.

"Huh! Why haven't you rested so late?" He only has such a direct sister, and because he is a compatriot from the same mother, the relationship between siblings has always been harmonious.

Therefore, Qin Min looked at Qin Yingyuan with a bit of pampering in his eyes.

"So busy in the yamen recently? I haven't seen my eldest brother for several days. You come back so late every day."
