Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

"1170 Zhou Duxin, 1171 Liu Qingyun, 1172 Tian Xiangmin. 1179 Zhuang Jike." The yamen called out.

Coincidentally, Zhou Duxin and Zhuang Zike were the first and last of this batch.

After a body search, Zhou Duxin came out and happened to meet Zhuang Jike.

Zhou Duxin said with a sneer, "Go back on your word and get fat."

Zhuang Jike knew he was wronged, so he didn't answer the call, and left in a hurry with the test box in hand, only waiting for Zhou Duxin to settle the score after high school.

The candidates in the capital, it's not the first time to return to the Gongyuan, they are familiar with the door and the way, and quickly found the room.

When it was dawn, the yamen servants distributed the test questions. The content of the test was roughly the same as that of the rural test. The first test was the scriptures in the Four Books.

Zhou Duxin opened the test paper, and the first question he saw was in "The Analects of Confucius·Bayi Pian": Don't talk about successes, don't complain about successes, and don't blame the past.

The literal understanding is: there is no need to mention the things that have been done, there is no need to dissuade the things that have been done, and there is no need to pursue the things that have passed.

But the person who asked the question wanted an understanding that was by no means a literal understanding.

As the so-called lesson from the past, the teacher of the future.

Zhou Duxin thought for a while, picked up a pen and ink, and danced on the paper to answer the questions.

When people concentrate on doing one thing, time will pass quickly.

After Zhou Duxin had finished answering the four questions about the scriptures and meanings, it was already noon, and the yamen servants distributed lunch, three big steamed buns, a plate of pickles, and a bowl of egg drop soup.

This food is already good for poor students.

But for Zhuang Zike who was born in a wealthy family, it was really hard to swallow.

But he can't stop eating, and he will try not to bring food to the Gongyuan.

Hungry, how to take the exam?
The same person who can't eat, and Princess De Wang Shizi, it's not because she hates eating, she can't eat, she has morning sickness.

Three days ago, Prince De's concubine was also diagnosed with happiness. Princess De put her hands together and said: "Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless you."

The son has been married for five or six years, but the daughter-in-law has never been pregnant, and she is dying of anxiety.

But in a family like theirs, there is absolutely no concubine born earlier than the legitimate son.

If a concubine's eldest son is born, it is a sign of a prodigal family.

Now that the daughter-in-law is happy, Princess De only hopes to get a boy in one fell swoop.

With the same idea as her, there is Jin Wang Taifei.

It's just that Princess Jin did one more thing than Princess De. Jiang Changning was pregnant and couldn't serve King Jin. She wanted to add someone to King Jin.

Jiaoyao couldn't do it, she said it twice, but King Jin refused twice.

Jin Wang Taifei asked her sister to help her find a daughter of a small official, who was going to bring her back to the mansion to be Jin Wang's concubine.

King Jin didn't know about this, but Yan Yinyao knew about it first, and she whispered, "Auntie is really confused."

Hurry to Liuxuanyuan to stop her good aunt from doing stupid things.

"Auntie, my cousin is just pregnant. It's not yet three months old, and the fetus hasn't settled down yet. If I get angry because of my cousin's taking a concubine, how can I hurt the child?"

"Men have always had three wives and four concubines, so there is a reason to guard her alone? Your cousin is a prince, so you must not wrong him."

When Yan Yinyao heard this, she felt very familiar. Her mother-in-law also said similar words when she was pregnant, and she almost fainted.

If it wasn't for her own aunt who really loved her, she really wanted to yell at her, damn old woman!
Suppressing her anger, Yan Yinyao continued to persuade: "Auntie, my cousin is noble, he is a prince, and he is busy with government affairs in the court. When he returns home, he hopes that the family will be harmonious. This concubine comes back, and my cousin is not happy." Shu Tan, how can cousin be comfortable?"

"How dare she feel uncomfortable! How can a wife be so jealous?" The concubine said sharply.

Yan Yinyao bit the corner of her lower lip, "Auntie, what is the purpose of taking concubines? It is for spreading the branches and leaves, so that the first wife can have children. Why do you take so many concubines? Let the concubine harm the first son and compete with the first wife for family property?"

"Just don't let the concubines give birth." The concubine felt that this matter was easy to solve.

"Auntie, this woman who is willing to be a concubine is used to tricking people with sweet words. She pretended to drink Duan Si soup and became pregnant. What should I do then? Kill it, it's a life, don't kill it, Look at the diaphragm."

The concubine was silent for a while, Yan Yinyao continued: "Auntie, even if you want to take a concubine for your cousin, you have to wait for your cousin to give birth to two or three sons, and it won't be too late."

"Let's talk about this later." The concubine did not insist on taking a concubine to King Jin immediately.

Yan Yinyao breathed a sigh of relief, and talked with the concubine for a while before going back to the courtyard to accompany her daughter.

It didn't take long for what she said to the concubine to be transmitted to Jiang Changning's ears by the eyeliner of Liuxuanyuan.

Xiulan let out a long breath, "Thanks to Cousin."

If the concubine insists on accepting a concubine for the prince, the concubine will definitely get upset if she can't stop her.

Jiang Changning smiled, "I accept her love, and when she remarries, I will accompany her with a generous dowry."

It's just that Yan Yinyao will have to wait a few years before remarrying. When Jiang Changning decides to make toys for the child in his belly, he also makes toys for Zeng Mi.

In the afternoon, Jiang Changning took a nap, "Xiulan."

Usually, she didn't need someone to wait on her, but since she was pregnant, she woke up from a nap and didn't call anyone to come in to wait on her. After being nagged by Xiulan for two days, she obediently confessed her love, and since then she has been calling people honestly.

Xiulan heard the sound and said with a smile: "The princess is awake, the prince is back."

"Come back so early?" Jiang Changning was surprised. If she remembers correctly, today is the day when Chun Wei's first test starts. He is not in the Yamen, so what happened when he came back so early?

Xiulan squatted down, helped her put on her shoes, and helped her get out of bed, "The prince brought a nanny back."

Jiang Changning's eyes flickered slightly, and he walked slowly to the Nuan Pavilion, and when he entered, he saw King Jin sitting cross-legged on the big kang by the window, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes were fixed on the booklet on the kang table.

"My lord." Jiang Changning didn't go over, worried about the secrets written in the booklet.

King Jin heard the voice, turned his head, and raised the corners of his lips, "Get up."

"If you don't get up, you won't be able to sleep at night." Jiang Changning laughed.

"Physician Xue said that pregnant women are prone to sleepiness, so it's okay to sleep more." King Jin closed the booklet, "Come here."

Jiang Changning just walked over and sat down beside him, "Gang Xiulan said, the lord brought back an old nanny, did the lord ask her to take care of me?"

"The people who serve you are all girls and have no experience in childbearing. Mother Feng used to be a medical girl, and she gave birth to several children. She is a safe person. I will let her serve you. Look, she is suitable for you." If your eyes are good, let her serve you by your side in the future."

"I was thinking of finding an experienced and reliable person to serve me, so the prince found him. The prince is so kind to me!" Jiang Changning said softly.

The golden buds and incense belts around her were all born, but the two children were still young and couldn't leave their mother. Jiang Changning was not a harsh master, and he didn't let them come into the mansion to work on official errands.

She really needs such a person by her side to give her some advice.
