poor people

Chapter 146, Xiahou Huanyan

Shi Fuyin and Shi Fuxin were admitted to the National Women's Academy, and Shi Dinghao was admitted to the Imperial Academy, which made the Shi family show their faces. Because of this, many people who had no relationship with them for a long time began to continue to walk with the Shi family.

There are three outstanding children in the family, and the Shi family is full of joy. However, compared to the three who still need to grow up for a few years, the Shi family is most concerned about Shi Dingxuan's martial arts exam.

As long as he is on the list, Shi Dingxuan can immediately enter the court and become an official. Even if he is a low-rank military officer, it can prove that the Shi family has successors.

Martial arts strategy theory is not as complicated as the liberal arts exam. It takes three days to take the exam, and martial arts strategy theory is over in one day.

When Shi Fuxin, Shi Fuyin, and Shi Dinghao returned to Bo's residence, Shi Dingxuan had already returned from the examination room and was called to Yixiang Hall for interrogation.

In Yixiangtang, Grandpa Shi looked at Shi Dingxuan who was chatting with Grandpa Shi, and then looked at the eldest son who was sitting at the side and could only listen with him. His eyes were a little sad. After sitting for a while, he got up and walked out of the hall .

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Shi followed out with concern.

When Elder Shi saw that it was his wife, he shook his head with a smile, remained silent for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Zhihan, I really envy fourth brother."

Mrs. Shi looked at her husband with a gloomy expression, and her heart was very sour. She really understood her husband's mood completely, so why didn't she envy Jin Yue'e.

Although the four younger siblings are not from good backgrounds, the four children they gave birth to are all excellent, and they are loved and valued by their husbands. In this life, don't women just want to have a husband who knows the cold and the hot, and the future of the children? She has both of these up.

In detail, she is the most blessed woman in the uncle's mansion.

Mrs. Shi didn't want to be immersed in such useless sadness, so she forced herself to smile and said, "Before, Dinghao, Sister Yin, and Sister Xin's performance in applying for the Imperial Academy and the National Women's Academy made us overjoyed. Dingxuan will not lose to his younger siblings."

Mr. Shi is also aware of the situation of the uncle's mansion. His generation still relies on some of the old man's roots, but in his son's generation, if there is no one capable of resisting the situation, the Shi family may really go into decline. up.

He has two sons, the eldest son is quite stable, but his talent is not high, if the Earl's title is still there, he can keep it, but the Earl's mansion is about to be deprived of the title, the eldest son's temperament is unable to take on the important task of inheriting the Shi family.

As for the second son, a scholar who loves to dance and write, it's good that he can live his life well, and don't expect him to do anything else.

The fifth and seventh brothers also had quite a few sons, but looking at them coldly, none of them were particularly outstanding.

Looking at the entire uncle's residence, the only male heirs who can be obtained are Ding Xuan and Ding Hao from the fourth brother's family.

Dingxuan had been immersed in his studies before, he had seen very little, and he didn't know much about him except that he was very strong in kung fu.

But today, when he went to the examination room with his fourth brother to pick him up, he saw Dingxuan leaving the examination room with other martial arts students, and he realized that this nephew was so outstanding.

At the beginning when his father used the favor of Dingguo Duke's mansion to take Dingxuan to meet the old Duke Xiahou, he felt a little uncomfortable. On the one hand, he wanted to leave this favor to the eldest son; on the other hand, he was also worried Dingxuan will waste this favor.

But in today's strategy exam, compared with other students who were frustrated, anxious, or sad, Dingxuan, who was calm and had a good chance of winning, was so different.

Isn't what the Shi family needs is such a young man with a deep chest who can take on the important task of establishing a family?

"If Dingxuan can be on the list this time, it will be the honor of the Bofu."

Elder Shi is very happy at this moment, fortunately, his father and mother firmly chose to take back the fourth brother's family.

In terms of relationship, Zhengkun and them must be closer; but, from the perspective of the development of Bofu, Zhengkun's two sons are not bad, but compared with Dingxuan and Dinghao, there is still a gap .

Mother was right, what the Shi family needs is someone who can break the situation.

The Shi family was trapped in the chess game in the capital, and they were unable to break through the increasingly unfavorable situation. Only the fourth brother's family who had no relationship with the capital could lead the Shi family out of the unfavorable situation.

Master Shi looked at Mrs. Shi: "In the future, the resources of the family should be tight to the four children of the fourth brother."

Mrs. Shi paused for a moment, then nodded: "I know."

The couple looked at each other with bitterness in their eyes.

On the third day after the martial arts exam, the martial arts and bow horse riding and shooting began to be tested.

The martial arts arena is located in the Ministry of War, and the day before the exam, it was banned here.

On the day of the martial arts test, outside the gate of the Ministry of War, Shi Fuxin looked at Qiao Xinyu dumbly: "Didn't you say that you can get an access token? Where's the token?"

Qiao Xinyu touched her nose guiltily: "It's really not my fault, I was let go." Then, she snorted, "Cousin Huanyan is too unreliable. We agreed to meet at the Ministry of War and arrive at the Ministry of War." Now she doesn't even have a figure."

Shi Fuxin asked: "Who is Cousin Huanyan?"

Qiao Xinyu: "My aunt's youngest daughter, Xiahou Huanyan, is a good friend with Jiang Zijin from the left servant's family of the Ministry of War."

Shi Fuxin: "Since you made an appointment with her, why hasn't she come yet?"

Qiao Xinyu shook her head: "I don't know either."

Shi Fuxin looked at the closed gate of the Military Department, knowing that it would be impossible to go in to watch her brother's exam, so she said regretfully, "Today is a waste of class, let's go back."

Turning to leave.

Qiao Xinyu held her back: "Don't go, the martial arts test has just started, you and I go to Dingguo Mansion to look for a token from Cousin Huanyan, we should be faster, and we will definitely be able to watch the test in the afternoon."

Shi Fuxin thought that she would be questioned about the reason when she returned home now, so she agreed with Qiao Xinyu.

Since her brother took classes with the old Duke Xiahou, the changes can be seen with the naked eye.

In Mrs. Shi's words, her brother is just a piece of beautiful jade, but it was wrapped in the original stone and was not carved. With the teaching of Old Duke Xiahou, this piece of beautiful jade began to show its original brilliance.

Because of this, she has always wanted to meet the old Duke Xiahou, the former Marshal of the Army and Horses who had gone through three dynasties.

Dingguo Mansion is located on Chang'an Avenue, close to Chengtianmen, the south gate of the imperial city.

Shi Fuxin and Qiao Xinyu took the carriage for half an hour before arriving at Duke Dingguo's Mansion, which has gone through five dynasties and is still favored.

Qiao Xinyu is the niece of Mrs. Dingguo's son, and she doesn't need to be notified when she comes to Dingguo's mansion.

Under the leadership of Qiao Xinyu, Shi Fuxin quickly came to an exquisite courtyard with attics and waterside pavilions.

"This is the Leisurely Residence of Cousin Huanyan. My cousin is three years older than me. During this time, my aunt was proclaiming her kiss. She must have been mad, so she forgot the agreement with me."

As soon as the words fell, under the flower corridor in full bloom, the two saw a girl in blue who was leaning on a wooden table.

"Cousin Huanyan!"

Seeing Xia Hou's happy face looking back, Shi Fuxin's eyes flashed with astonishment.

What a smart beauty!
