Qi Concubine's Cultivation Notes in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 55

Li Yuquan entered the first grade in the palace examination, and he was Tanhualang. When the news spread to Jizhou, the whole Li's mansion was excited by the news.Li Wenye was originally proud of his eldest son, but because of Li Yuquan's good upbringing, he treated Hua Shi with favor.I think it's Fahrenheit's own upbringing.

Li Wenye was originally a man in the officialdom, his son was a proud, natural and flattering man, and there was a constant stream of people coming and going in Li's residence for a while.

Li Yunting and Li Yuquan were in Beijing, and Li Yuquan also had his own contacts in Beijing. Now that he got such good news, Beijing was full of people, but Liu Fan gritted his teeth.He felt that he was more talented than Li Yuquan. He was originally a top-ranked student, and his grades were quite good, but compared with Li Yuquan, he suddenly felt unbalanced.Li Yuquan knew a lot of people in Beijing, and after being selected, he was busy with socializing, and his old friends gradually drifted away.Li Yuquan could only sigh at this, he could see that Liu Fan was quite dissatisfied with him because of Li Yunting's matter, it was only related to his sister's reputation, and that was all he could do.At the same time, he also lamented that Liu Fan only read the books of sages and sages, and didn't hear anything out of the window. He had clearly stated that he belonged to the banner of the Han army. Perhaps Liu Fan didn't understand that the girls under the banner of the Han army needed to be drafted.

Although the distance between Jizhou and the capital is only a day's journey, it's just that the two sides are busy, and there is no way to see each other.

Before Li Yuquan took office, he had a chance and returned home.

Li Yunting also came to the monthly letter a few days ago, her appearance has not changed much from before, but her breasts are slightly raised and have begun to develop, Qing Dai said with a smile: "Miss is also a big girl."

The two returned to Jizhou in a carriage. The palace examination was originally in April, and now it is the beginning of June when they return to Jizhou. Originally, the carriage would be surrounded by heavy curtains in winter, but now they have all gone, and the curtains on the small windows have also been raised. Walking on the official road, when you get out of Beijing, you can see large expanses of green, with old scarecrows in the field, and if there is a lotus pond, you can see the lotus leaves slightly exposed.In July, you will be able to see the scenery of "the lotus flowers are differently red in the sun".

During this period of time, Li Yunting was no longer seen, and there was no incident in Beijing, and Brother Quan also entered the first class, so it was rare to see Li Yunting with a smiling face. You must know that after Li Rulan fell into the water, Old lady Sheng didn't smile when she saw Li Yunting.

Hua Shi hugged Li Yunting, he hadn't seen his daughter for a long time, and he was very happy, and this time he could live at home, so he should pay attention to making Li Yunting less associated with Li Rulan.At this time, two nuns got out of the carriage behind.

Li Yunting then introduced, one is Nanny Wu and the other is Nanny Zhou.After Li Yuquan's palace examination was over, Li Yuquan was socializing in Beijing, while Li Yunting moved to the suburbs of Beijing, and learning the rules every day was officially on the agenda.Li Yunting never liked trouble, the rules were always in place as soon as the nuns taught them, the two nuns were naturally impressed.

"The two nuns have worked hard." Fahrenheit said with a smile.

"Second Miss is smart." Nanny Zhou said.

Fahrenheit thought it was a polite remark, but no one knew it was the truth.

And Li Rulan was originally proud of her walking aptitude, and today she specially wore the bottom of a flower pot. Seeing Li Yunting's walking posture, she pinched the handkerchief, smiled and said to her: "Your sister walks beautifully. .The rules are well learned."

"Where is my sister who learned early?" Li Yunting said, "It's only in April that I started to learn the rules."

Li Yuquan heard the two people talking, and said with a smile: "It is true that I have benefited a lot from my sister's help."

"How did my sister help you?" Li Rulan asked curiously. In terms of helping, Li Rulan felt that the poems she sent to Li Yuquan were excellent.

Li Yuquan then talked about his daily homework in the afternoon, which made Li Rulan stunned. This is a simulated examination room. There are many people who study hard in this era. If they go through such a simulation, they can benefit from it. She completely believes it.Then I felt a little regretful, if only she was the one who went to the capital this time.Thinking like this, it was inevitable that his complexion would slightly leak out.

Seeing Li Yunting's performance, Fahrenheit sneered in his heart. When Li Yunting was not around, he would put on a show, but as soon as he came back, he wanted to compare.It was a rule just now, but this time it was jealous of Li Yunting's friendship with Li Yuquan.Don't even think about it, they are the serious brothers and sisters.

"It's a good idea." Fahrenheit said with a smile.

"It's nothing more than a method." Li Yuquan said with a smile, "In fact, on weekdays, with a few friends, I would also make suggestions like this. It's just that although my sister can't write such stereotyped essays, the comments are excellent, especially breaking the topic. Accurate and lofty, I am far behind." For Li Yunting, Li Yuquan is not stingy with his praise, "If my sister is a man, and I study these articles carefully, I am far behind."

Fahrenheit knew that Li Yuquan never spoke in plain language, so he stroked his daughter's hair on the sideburns after hearing such praise, "Master always praises Brother Quan's articles."

"Is there anything you can't learn in the capital?" Hua asked Li Yunting.

Li Yunting said with a smile: "There is nothing else, there are only two incidents, one is the lack of water in spring, I went to the Temple of Heaven with my brother, and saw the emperor offering sacrifices to heaven."

Li Rulan's eyes lit up first, then darkened, and asked: "Then sister, did you see the emperor clearly?"

Li Yunting naturally saw it, she was wearing a golden dragon robe, and the totem on her body was extremely dazzling in the sun. She had a long body and a long face, and there were some small pits on her cheeks, which were the marks left by the chickenpox. He said to Li Rulan: "It's far away, but I haven't seen it. Prince, and some elder brothers also went to sacrifice to heaven."

Li Rulan was even more envious.

"Then there is another one?" Fahrenheit asked with a smile.

"The other thing is playing chess." Li Yunting said, "I played chess with a friend of my brother's, and I had a lot of fun." It was Liu Fan who was talking about.

A group of people talked and laughed and entered the courtyard of Mrs. Sheng, and had dinner together. Li Yuxi tugged on Li Yuquan's sleeve. During this time, he also started writing articles. The novelty, lofty intentions, is simply unimaginable, so he asked: "Second sister is really so powerful?"

"Why did I lie to you?" Li Yuquan said with a smile, "The second sister will live at home now. If you have time, let her read your articles. You will know why listening to you is better than reading ten words." An allusion to the yearbook."

Li Yuxi was eager to try, "Really?"

"I also brought a few articles." Li Yuquan said, "After dinner in the evening, we went to the study, and I showed them to my father and you."

Li Yuxi nodded.

The two of them didn't speak loudly, but Fahrenheit made fun of them, "Brother Quan and Brother Xi are whispering."

The old lady Sheng liked to see the harmony and stability in the house, so she was very angry at the possible marriage between Li Rulan and Li Yunting's sisters.He also smiled and said, "What you two say will make me, an old lady, happy."

Li Yuquan said with a smile: "It's still about writing articles. My younger brother has also started writing articles recently, and he is complaining to me that articles are masculine."

"Brother Quan is Tanhualang." Old Madam Sheng said hastily, "When your brother is at home, you can ask him a lot."

"Hey." Li Yuxi responded brightly.

It was peaceful for a while.

Li Wenye entered the hall when he was having fun, and because of Li Yuquan's matter, he also had a smile on his face, "What's so fun?"

The daughters and sons naturally greeted each other, Hua said with a smile: "Brother Quan is back today, and you didn't come back earlier."

"I've tried my best to push down some entertainment." Li Wenye said, and then smiled at Li Yuquan and said, "Brother Quan is doing well this time."

A harmonious room.

In the evening, Fahrenheit took Li Yunting to say something, and Li Wenye took his two sons to the study. The old lady Sheng always went to bed early, so Li Rulan felt a little self-deprecating and downcast.Back in the room, she chose to read and write a poem. She didn't believe that Li Yunting could still guide Li Yuquan's article?
In the study room, Li Yuquan took out the topic at that time, his first answer, with Li Yunting's handwriting circled with cinnabar on it, after getting Li Yunting's guidance, in the original article, Li Yuquan used Small print remarks, there is a second improved article.

When Li Wenye saw the article, he also admired it. Li Wenye also passed the imperial examination, but he got the top three at that time. In addition, although the article in the official circle is somewhat similar to the stereotyped article, there are still differences in details. When I first read the original article, I thought it was good. It's just that after Li Yunting's guidance to break through the topic and create a new idea, the article is a higher level than the original one.

After reading the article, Li Wenye understood why his daughter had delayed learning etiquette with his mother.

"Your sister has a heart." Li Wenye said.Then he said the same thing to Li Yuxi as Li Yuquan, "When your second sister is at home, you should ask more questions to solve the problem. The bones of Wen are like this. If there is no bone, how can the flesh on it be plump?"

"I know." Li Yuxi said.

Li Yunting was chatting with Huashi here, talking about what he had seen and heard in Beijing, Huashi became a little jealous, "Seeing that you always say that Beijing is good, don't you think about going to the past this time? I don't agree."

"It's good for a daughter to be with her mother all the time." Li Yunting said with a slight smile, "It's just that I'm afraid of annoying my ancestors."

"My son has always been well-behaved, how could it be?" Hua Shi nodded Li Yunting's nose, "I heard that the two nuns praised you like crazy, could it be that you have given me some benefits?"

These words were brisk and mischievous, Li Yunting said: "How come?" Li Yunting also rarely joked, "It's my daughter who is really smart."

Provoking Fahrenheit chuckled, the room was full of laughter.

"I specifically found two nuns with gentle temperaments." Fahrenheit stroked the daughter's hair.

"Mother has a heart." Li Yunting said with a smile.

The two talked for a while, and in the evening Li Wenye talked to Fahrenheit about Fahrenheit's article.Fahrenheit's eyes widened, "I thought it was Brother Quan who was exaggerating. After reading the article, the master did indeed make a good call?"

"Well." Li Wenye said, "It's a pity, if it's a boy, I'm afraid it will take a while to train, and it will become a champion."

Fahrenheit understands her daughter and said with a smile: "I can't see it. Xi'er, you are too calm-tempered to see things clearly, but to really make a fuss is not enough to just solve the problem. I like girls."

Li Wenye was busy before, so he took a rest at night. Today, he talked a little bit more, Brother Quan was nominated for the gold list this time, and the matter of marrying a wife was also on the agenda.Slowly speaking, it was late at night.
