peasant young lady

Chapter 339
There is a saying in "Zhuangzi Zhibei Journey": between heaven and earth in life, if a white horse passes by, it is just a sudden.

It seems that 15 years have passed in the blink of an eye. In 15 years, the hourglass of time has gone from 1487 to 1502.At this moment, Cheng Xia was sitting on a recliner in the courtyard of the Ten Kings Mansion, quietly looking at the high sky in a daze.

In 15 years, she has also changed from a 15-year-old immature girl when she first traveled to a 30-year-old girl. Yes, no matter how old she is, she is still a girl, and she does not accept doubts or rebuttals.

Thinking about it carefully, time really flies, the warm spring breeze blew past, and just as the peach blossoms scattered all over the place, Cheng Xia raised his eyes and saw his son who had graduated from the Imperial College came in from the yard.

"Mother," Shao Cheng happily tossed the notebook in his hand to Aunt Lihua's son who was going to school with him, then ran to Cheng Xia's recliner and said excitedly, "Mother, today is the day of the palace examination. , do you think brother will win the number one prize?"

Seeing his silly son smiling brightly, Cheng Xia couldn't help asking him, "What do you think?"

Shao Cheng gave a thumbs up confidently, "My brother can try for No.1, and it's not easy to win the number one."

Cheng Xia pressed his forehead angrily, "If your brother wins the first prize, you will be able to walk sideways in the Imperial College, right?"

This stinky boy is simply a disaster, because his father is a first-rank general in the dynasty, and he is born with an incomparably handsome face, that makes the girl in the capital scream.Every time he walked through the street, it was like a modern star coming out, with envious and obsessive eyes everywhere.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xia angrily snorted at him, extremely disgusted.Cheng Xia felt that this kid had been with Du Zhong for too long, and ended up with the same temperament as Du Zhong.

He had mentioned to Shao Chen countless times earlier that Du Zhong should not be allowed to come to the house, and he insisted on not listening. Shao Chen also felt that Du Zhong's personality was just right, he was free and unrestrained, he lived a carefree life, and his nature was brilliant.As for getting girls to like him, so what, who made his son look good.

Every time Shao Chen mentioned it, his expression was full of pride, and Cheng Xia wished to tear his handsome face apart.

How good is it to have the same temperament as Du Zhong, looking at Du Zhong now, there are more than [-] people, and she is still a loner, and the worried Mrs. Du's hair is gray.

In addition to these, Shao Cheng's current temperament has become inseparable from Mrs. Du and Shao Taifei in the palace.

Seeing that she couldn't control Du Zhong anymore, Mrs. Du gave up and put all her love and care on this brat.Concubine Shao in the palace is even more so. Zhu Youzhu is far away from the emperor, even if she has a son and daughter, Concubine Shao can't reach her, why don't she give Shao Cheng all her love and care.

Now, this kid Shaocheng is almost walking around in the capital, but he is only 14 years old, and he was given the title of "Brother Jingcheng". His father still feels complacent, proud of your sister, Cheng Xia never dared to think about himself Her son would become a man of the hour in the capital, and she was almost dying of worry.

The more Cheng Xia looked at Shao Cheng's peachy face, the more headache he felt, and he kicked him in distaste, "Go, tell your aunt and Aunt Zi Yuan that your father, brother and uncle will come back today, let them spend more time." Make something delicious."

"Decree," Shao Cheng hurriedly got up and gave Cheng Xia a standard military salute, "I would like to obey my mother's order."

Cheng Xia looked at Shao Cheng's face and wanted to roll her eyes. This child was as bright as a star when she was a child, and she could see the advantages of her and Shao Chen, but she didn't expect that this child would become more handsome as he grew up. Ru Guanyu looks like Pan An too much.

Cheng Xia saw that he had run away, so she pulled back her thoughts.

Today is the day when the Palace Examination is announced, Xiaolong entered the palace early in the morning, thinking that it is time to come back now.

The palace examination in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, before the palace examination, there will be a re-examination, which is held in the Baohe Hall of the Forbidden City. After the re-examination is completed and passed, on April 21, the palace examination will also be taken in the Baohe Hall.

On the day of the palace examination, participants must enter the Forbidden City at dawn, go through a series of etiquettes such as roll call, unraveling papers, praise, salute, etc., and finally issue the test questions.The time for the palace examination is one day, and the papers will be handed in at dusk.

After handing in the papers, just wait for the results with peace of mind.These papers will be handed over to eight test paper officers for review at the same time, and then the best ten papers will be selected from all the test papers and submitted to His Majesty, who will appoint the first, second and third best papers.

As for Yijia, there are three people, namely No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], and Tanhua, called "Jinshi Jiji";
As for the second class, several people accounted for one-third of the admitted applicants, and they were called "Jinshi background";
As for the top three, how many people account for two-thirds of the admitted applicants.

When the ranking is determined, the list filling officer will fill in and publish the list. Xiaolong is going to see the list today.

Just as he was thinking, there was a loud shout from outside the door, Cheng Xia was taken aback, it was Shao Chen and Cheng You who had returned.

Cheng Xia hurriedly got up and went up to meet him. Seeing that Shao Chen and Cheng You were both in military uniform, her eyes lit up.

This is a man. I really don't understand why her son has inherited the habits of Du Zhong. The more I think about it, the more I get angry.

Shao Chen is 37 years old, but his whole body is becoming more and more heroic and charming. His whole body exudes a man's hormonal aura, which makes Cheng Xia always intoxicated.

But she didn't have time to look at Shao Chen right now, so she quickly pulled Cheng You closer and looked him over carefully a few times, "Are you not injured?"

This expedition was the first time that Shao Chen took Cheng You to the battlefield. Although Cheng You was also 22 years old and was no longer a child, she was always worried. This heart was always on her mind. Now that he was safe and sound, she felt a little more at ease. .

"Sister, I'm fine, I've made meritorious service." Cheng You was very proud in his words. He likes the battlefield and the feeling of killing enemies for the country, especially this time when his brother-in-law took him to experience the war in a real way. He felt that he was suitable. On the battlefield, as soon as he rode his war horse and waved his shirt, he was the most powerful one.

Shao Chen patted Cheng You on the shoulder suddenly, and said with admiration, "Cheng You has grown up and can take care of himself, so you don't need to worry too much."

Cheng Xia nodded in relief, "That's good, that's good, sister doesn't pray for how good you are, I just hope that your life will be safe, that's fine."

Cheng You gave Cheng Xia a hug, "Thank you sister for always supporting me. My brother-in-law and I just came back from the palace, and His Majesty praised me specially and awarded me the title of Captain Xiaoqi."

"Okay, okay," Cheng Xia said with emotion, "Our little brother is now a fifth-rank military officer."

Just as he was talking, Shao Cheng rushed to him when he heard the commotion, and seeing Cheng You's majestic appearance, his envious eyes straightened, and he called out very obediently, "Little uncle."

Cheng You walked up to Shao Cheng and patted his head with satisfaction, "I've been walking for three months, but I never thought you'd be handsome again."

"Shut up!" Cheng Xia glared at Cheng You angrily, would he speak?What a handsome fart, her son is a man, why is it that the longer he grows, the more handsome he is.

Shao Cheng made a face at Cheng You behind Cheng Xia's back, but was bumped into by Cheng Xia who suddenly turned his head as if sensing it, and Shao Cheng hurriedly ran behind Shao Chen, "Father, my aunt did a lot of things." It's delicious, go in and have a look."

Seeing the undercurrent between the mother and son, Shao Chen wanted to laugh, but because of Cheng Xia's cold face, he finally held back, coughed lightly, and changed the subject, "Have you called Du Zhong? He is now the deputy capital envoy, so he is very busy, but it is not difficult to ask him to take a leave of absence."

It's okay not to mention Du Zhong, but when Cheng Xia is mentioned, I want to cry. Du Zhong probably has a grudge against her, so every time I come here, I take her son to wander around, and never play house.It took her 15 years to see the streets and alleys of the capital. Her son is doing well. He walked around twice in half a year with Eucommia.

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing again, Shao Chen coughed hard, blinked at Cheng You, Cheng You understood, and hurriedly said, "Sister, brother-in-law and I will go to the room to change clothes first, and we will have dinner after Xiaolong comes back."

Seeing the three big men running back to the house as if fleeing, Cheng Xia sat on the swing and dangled very sadly. If she had known how good it would be to have a daughter back then, she wouldn't have to worry as much as she does now.

When Xiaolong entered the door, he saw such a scene. His aunt was extremely sad, sad, angry, resentful and swinging on the swing. The tangled face seemed to be mixed with hundreds of emotions, which made him dumbfounded.

"Ma'am," Xiaolong called out, and Cheng Xia came back to his senses in an instant, seeing Xiaolong enter the door with an unknown man beside him, Cheng Xia quickly jumped off the swing.

"Are you back?" Cheng Xia smiled politely at the strange guest, then looked at Xiaolong, "Why did you come back so late?"

Xiaolong hadn't answered yet, but the man next to him said with a smile, "Xiang Wenkang won the number one prize today, and was left alone by His Majesty, so he came back later."

Cheng Xia changed Xiaolong's name to Yang Wenkang when he was able to study in the Imperial College.Shao Chen also asked Cheng Xia why he was called this name, Cheng Xia naturally would not tell him that she liked Yang Kang in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" too much, so she borrowed it and changed Xiaolong's name to Yang Wenkang.

She originally wanted her family to change Xiaolong's name to Akang, which sounds nice, but everyone was used to calling him Xiaolong, but she couldn't change it, so she gave up later.

"Wow, brother, you really won the champion," the exclamation came out again, and Shao Cheng who had just slipped into the room sneaked out again, holding Xiaolong's hand to express his congratulations.

Xiaolong smiled at his favorite brother, and then looked at Cheng Xia, "Mother, I have completed the task you gave me and walked out of the main entrance of the Meridian Gate in a dignified way."

"Good job!" Cheng Xia nodded gratified, "Then you are editing from the sixth-rank Imperial Academy now?"

The man next to Xiaolong was taken aback, "How does Madam know?" Your Majesty has just been appointed an official.

Xiaolong raised his eyebrows proudly, "Brother Bohu doesn't know something, knowledge in this world has never been difficult for my aunt."

Xiaolong was too exaggerated, Cheng Xia quickly waved her hands, let her family flatter her, she would blush in front of outsiders, okay?

Just as Cheng Xia was about to say a few words, his mind suddenly turned. Thinking of what Xiaolong called the man just now, he couldn't help being taken aback, "What did you call him, brother Bohu?"

"That's right, ma'am," Xiaolong replied seriously, "Didn't you often tell me about Tang Bohu? I happened to be able to invite brother Bohu to the capital through my mentor, and I came to see you."

Cheng Xia stared blankly at the person next to her, did she hear wrongly, this person is Tang Bohu?
