Lady's life after time travel

Chapter 61

A heavy snowfall finally fell in the capital a few years ago. Fortunately, there was no snow disaster. However, the various families have already built sheds on Shangyang Street, which is dedicated to donating porridge and rice, and are ready to donate porridge and rice until New Year's Eve.

There are still a lot of poor people in this capital. Seeing that there is free porridge to drink, they all line up in a long line. What's more, after queuing for this one, they will follow to that one without fear of being discovered.Anyway, it's free, and you don't eat for nothing, let alone only once a year.

In the teahouse not far away, a man was looking at the rows of porridge shops by the window on the second floor, wondering what he was thinking.

"They're all trying to catch their name. They don't say which family they belong to if they have the ability." A man in his thirties said loudly in the lobby of the teahouse.

"Hey, man, why are you talking nonsense again? Why is it called fame?
Even so, they actually took out rice to help these people. Let me ask you, apart from talking nonsense here, how can you help those poor people?It's not that you are jealous that others can do things like this, but you can't, so be jealous. "A young man said with a smile.

The 30-year-old man looked very scholarly. He blushed and said, "What do you know? If I had that status, I would do better than them, and I would definitely not say that I did it myself."

"Hehe, is it? The problem is that you don't have that status? That is to say, you don't have that ability, so what qualifications do you have to criticize people who are more capable than you? I think my brother is just a boastful person, look at my brother If you are young, if you have the skills, you would have been admitted to Jinshi a long time ago, but looking at you like this, you don’t look like that at all. I would like to ask my brother, what is your status now? Juren? Scholar? Or a child?” The boy laughed said.

A big fat man next to him said: "This son, he is nothing. He has been in the exam for more than ten years and he has not even passed the exam."

Oh, it turned out to be like this, the big guys all showed expressions of enlightenment, no wonder they can't understand those who have titles.

The man was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground, and he couldn't help but said: "Even if I am not a child, it is because I am relying on myself, not these people, relying on the grace of their ancestors, to survive like moths."

"This is even more wrong. Didn't you rely on yourself since you were a child? Didn't you survive on the things of your ancestors? Or did you grow so big without eating anything? You can grow so big by drinking northwest wind ? That's really strange, are you really a monster? No, I have to call the Taoist priest who subjugates demons."

The man was defeated again and again, so he had no choice but to leave in despair. The boy was overjoyed, and finally defeated a nerd. Thinking about it, the younger sister's method worked. He scolded a few aristocratic families outside, and wanted to teach him a lesson, thinking that his sister was smart, so he talked to her, but he didn't expect his sister's unreasonable reasoning to make this person speechless.

A person came down from the stairs of the tea house, and when he saw the young man, he shouted: "Master Xiao San, so you are here, follow me to the top!"

The boy looked at it, isn't this the commander of the imperial guards, Mr. Lu?Why is he here?However, he also saw the look in Master Lu's hand. He didn't want others to know his identity, so he followed him to the box, and after entering the door, he asked, "Master Lu, why are you here?"

As a result, there was another person inside, the young man couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and hurriedly saluted: "Xiao Luo has seen His Royal Highness Cheng Wang."

"You don't need to be too polite, please come up." Cheng Wang said.

Master Lu hurriedly said: "It's snowing recently, the Holy Majesty is worried about the situation in Beijing, so he asked His Royal Highness Cheng Wang and I to check it out. No, I came here and heard the voice outside like you, so I couldn't hold back, and His Royal Highness After I said it, I went down to call you."

So it is!Xiao Luo said with a smile: "Your Highness and Your Excellency are really fortunate. In such a cold day, they are not allowed to rest at the residence."

King Cheng got a cup of tea, drank it himself and said, "It's strange to hear your remarks just now. Throughout the ages, I don't know how many people who got their careers through imperial examinations looked down on the family. You just defended them very well."

Xiao Luo was secretly startled, how could he let him hear it, if he knew it earlier, he wouldn't have said it, but it's hard to buy it, he would have known it earlier.However, he was still unconvinced in his bones, "I didn't just make an excuse. What I said was the truth. If you want to say that the family is a moth, I don't agree with it. Just think about the imperial examination. The number of people who can pass the exam is once every three years. Two to 300 people, just imagine, if it weren't for the aristocratic family not getting involved, where would ordinary people still be?

Not to mention that the aristocratic family can hire a better gentleman than ordinary people, even the starting point of the century-old education is higher than others, so why can't they be admitted to Jinshi, unless that person is too stupid.Take that person just now as an example. He said he was trying to gain fame, but if he didn't report the name of his family, who would you turn to if he got sick from eating?

It is true that they want others to remember their goodness, but they can also make people remember their goodness by using other methods, such as spending money to promote it, isn't it faster than this?

Moreover, I don't believe that those people like the man just don't want others to remember his goodness. There are really too few people in the world who have no desires and no desires. One in a hundred is not bad. Everyone They all eat whole grains, so there must be selfish desires. The key is whether this selfish desire harms the interests of others. Take porridge as an example, whose interests are harmed? "

Master Lu was sweating, this Xiao Luo really dared to say, what if he wanted to make King Cheng angry?Although at first he approached Xiao Luo with a purpose, but after getting along for a while, he felt that this little guy was really nice, at least he was sincere, and he was also sincere to those who really treated him well.Lord Lu hurriedly said: "Master Xiao is ignorant, please don't blame him, Your Highness."

King Cheng had already finished his tea, and said, "Master Lu, why are you nervous? What the third son Xiao said is a little unreasonable, but it's not entirely wrong. I just don't know if these are your own thoughts, or are they taught by others?"

Xiao Luo hurriedly said: "Where is someone to teach? It's just that my sister and I usually..." Knowing that he had slipped his tongue, Xiao Luo said: "I'm just thinking wildly."

King Cheng's eyes flashed, and he said: "Since it's Weifu, everyone should just treat it as a conversation between friends. Master Lu, don't be nervous, just sit down and drink some tea."

"Yes, yes." Lord Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Xiao Luo also adhered to the principle of not talking too much, drinking tea dully, thinking about it, why did he say so much just now, it was really terrible, Sister, you have made me miserable.

The three of them were silent, and King Cheng said, "This king really likes your talk, and I will go to my palace in the future when I have time. This is a token in my palace, just show it to the guards." Master Lu opened his mouth. I can stuff an egg, what happened to Cheng Wang today?Could it be because of illness? Why is Ke ah so enthusiastic about this Xiao Luo?And invited him to his house?In the very beginning, Cheng Wang also let himself get close to this Xiao Luo. Could it be that Xiao Luo really has something special?

And Xiao Luo was depressed, asking me to become a palace?I might as well be detained at home every day. His Royal Highness Cheng Wang was a little scared when he saw it, and even King Ping was a little afraid of him. He went to him because he was impatient with his own life.But he had no choice but to accept the token, and watched Lord Lu and King Cheng leave helplessly.

Alas, what a cleverness I was shaking, I was shaking in front of King Cheng, Xiao Luo wanted to cry but had no tears.

It's another spring, this year's Spring Festival is still snowflakes, it looks like a vast expanse of whiteness outside, but the roads of Duke Huguo's mansion have been swept clean, there is no snow at all, and even more In places like Baosong Hall, red carpets are laid on the corridors, and reed curtains are used to cover the corridors on both sides. There is a charcoal brazier every few meters. People walking inside are as warm as spring. The girls were also wearing new clothes for the New Year, and they were doing their errands in an orderly manner.

Nothing happened today, but Uncle Jingshu's family sent someone to give the New Year's gift late, and they didn't come here until after the year.

Mrs. Zheng thought it was not easy for these people, and the one who celebrated the Chinese New Year was still delayed on the road, so she invited them to the Baosong Hall to answer, which was regarded as a respect for this person.

The man kowtowed when he came in, Mr. Zheng accepted it, and asked the big maid Hongxiu to bring an embroidery stool, and the man hurriedly said: "How can I bother the girl? Just ask the little girl to bring it to me." You must know the old lady The eldest maid in the house is the face of the old lady, and this daughter-in-law is flattered.

Mrs. Zheng said: "You can do it, the Chinese New Year is not easy, did something happen on the way?"

That daughter-in-law is Qian's companion, so she speaks fluently. Thinking of Qian's coming to explain herself, she must be respectful. Last time she came back, she almost offended the government. How can she not behave well this time? ?So he said: "In the words of the old lady, my wife originally asked us to set off in November, but who knew that there was heavy snow in the middle, and the river was impassable, so we had to take the dry road instead. This delay will be delayed." It's the end of the year, and I hope the old lady will not be offended."

Mrs. Zheng waved her hand, "Just do what you want, how are you old ladies and wives, brothers and sisters?"

The daughter-in-law hurriedly said: "All right, I miss you, old lady. I heard that the old lady likes to eat shad. It just so happens that the place where our master works is rich in this shad, so our wife asked us to bring some back. My wife can like it."

Old Mrs. Zheng laughed, "That's my fault. Go back and tell your wife that I thank her."

The daughter-in-law didn't say what the second old lady meant, she just said that it was her own wife's idea. It is estimated that there will be many conflicts between the two.

The daughter-in-law thought about her purpose and said: "Old lady, speaking of brother and sister, there is really a happy event in our family."

"Oh? Brother Pei is already engaged. Could it be Brother Che? Engaged at such a young age?" Mrs. Zheng was surprised.

"No, no, it's our cousin, our lord, as soon as he took office, he got along very well with the local officials and gentry. He knew that there was a marriageable cousin in our lord's house, so they all got married. Meaning, our wife saw Xincheng, so she made an engagement with the son of a local jeweler, and married the cousin girl when she was old enough, just before our master returned to Beijing to report on his duties."

In other words, Zhou Xinyue may never return to the capital for the rest of her life.Mrs. Zheng smiled and said: "Your master and wife are good people. Are you happy now? I remember last year, she was always worried that your cousin would not get married. Isn't it wishful now? gone?"

"Yeah, our old lady was so excited that she almost fainted, and she invited the doctor to come over." The daughter-in-law also had a smile on her face, watching the old lady smile, knowing that the information she brought over pleased Zheng Zheng. Old matriarch, then the purpose of coming here is more than half completed.

Originally, Mrs. Zheng didn't like the second room because of the old lady's troubles. Fortunately, his wife is a good one. Otherwise, the two families would not become enemies in the future?
If you want her to say, what kind of scale should be matched with what kind of mound, the cousin obviously needs to rely on her own family to survive, why are the requirements so high?You are not a fairy, you can really make people think about it at a glance, and you still want to make a marriage with the buddies of the Xiao family, isn't it because you are uncomfortable?

It's fine if you can't find yourself, but it's ungrateful for you to implicate the people who support you.

Thinking of what Cousin did after that, even a servant like her can't stand it. I don't know if she learned from Aunt Zhou and made her look like a foxy girl. Fortunately, our young master is still young, and he is also a polite person. Yes, otherwise you have fallen into her ways?
There is also the old lady, who is also unclear, who is your own grandson, in case the grandchildren of the direct relatives don't love you, but you prefer a cousin girl from outside the country, is it because you don't like your wife?

Then you are really not worth the loss, you know that when you are old, but your daughter-in-law takes care of you, even a son, it will be inconvenient, what?You said there was Aunt Zhou?
What kind of good thing is Aunt Zhou?And she's still a concubine, is she qualified to serve others?It's not a serious daughter-in-law, our family is very polite, and we won't let a concubine do this.

The daughter-in-law went to receive the reward happily, Mrs. Zheng was even happier, and even ate an extra bowl in the evening, which shocked Xiao Dingbang, and asked if there was any good news.

Mrs. Zheng told about his sister-in-law, Xiao Dingbang shook his head and said with a smile: "Old woman, I thought it was something that made you so happy just because of this little thing."

Mrs. Zheng said: "Isn't that a good thing? I'll see how she plays in the future. You don't know that there were too many messy things this year. I'm so annoyed to death. It's hard to hear good news. , can you not be happy?"

Sister Yan, Jingshu and other girls also knew that Zhou Xinyue was going to marry out of town. Originally, there were no secrets in this mansion, unless it was an important secret. Her own brother, she wished she would never come back.

Sister Yan, on the other hand, is a little bit worthless for Zhou Xinyue, thinking that she has wronged her by marrying the son of a merchant, but she has nothing to do, not to mention that she is not close enough to Zhou Xinyue to do anything for her, which is too much. Just forget it.

She was still thinking about how to find a place. After all, she was punished because of Quan's family years ago. Well, if you say that I can't offend my elders, then I can't offend my peers?

Don't you still have a daughter?Then I'll find it from your daughter. Sister Ting is a lump of wood. She bullied her, but she didn't say a word. Humph, I have plenty of solutions!But it has to be after the year.I can start after you leave!Guaranteed to make you regret offending me!

And Quan's was making the final preparations before leaving. She and the third master Xiao Shutong said to the third brother and children: "Brother Yong is an elder brother, so I will take care of my younger sister more in the future. Study hard and don't learn some nonsense. If you don't learn well, I will know, wait for me to come back and see how I deal with you!"

Brother Yong hurriedly said: "Got it, got it." He was most afraid of his mother nagging.

Quan gave her a sideways glance, and said to Sister Yun: "You are a sister, take care of Sister Ting more often, Sister Ting is soft-tempered, don't be bullied by Sister Yan, you must know that you are in the same room. Yes, she was bullied, and you have no face!"

Sister Yun thought to herself: "How dare I offend Sister Yan." But she didn't intend to say that, she just nodded.Whatever you say is fine.

Turning around, she said to Sister Ting: "And you, you are just a wooden person, anyone else dares to bully you, tell me you are a descendant, what do you lack compared to others? What are you afraid of? I don't think so. With a depressed temper, why did I raise a daughter like you?

If you're still like this, I'm going out, aren't you the master who allows others to bully you?How can I rest assured? "

Xiao Shutong hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, it's almost the same, they all have their own nurses and maids, and there is an old lady on top, what's the matter? If you don't worry, how about we take everyone away ?”
