Chapter 391

The Daqing army mobilized in an orderly manner. On February 50th, General Zhen Guo, who set off four days later, bid farewell to the emperor and prince at the Golden Luan Hall and led the army to set off.Apart from the 15 Phoenix left army taken away by Mo Yuxuan, the army near Gyeonggi is the 35 black-shirted army personally trained by General Zhen Guo.The emperor sent [-] troops. In addition to the [-], the other [-] soldiers will be mobilized from various places to march towards the direction of Beichuan Kingdom and join forces on the way.

Xiao Wenqing was worried about Mo Yuxuan in her heart, and she was still worried about her second brother Xiao Wenfeng, because this year's Spring Examination began on the ninth day of February.

Because the families of my husband's family and my mother's family were more or less selected as young men, everyone wanted to know about the battle situation ahead through others, and the socializing and socializing of the ladies in the back house became more intensive this year.In addition, there will be an examination this year, and there will be new No. [-] candidates and several Jinshi. Among these upstarts, young and unmarried, they may be recruited as sons-in-law by an official.

Xiao Wenqing went to appreciate Chunmei at the invitation of the wife of the Tongzheng Envoy.The petals in the official garden of Tongzheng were like snow, and the fragrance was intoxicating. More than a dozen invited wives and girls walked in the plum grove. The spring breeze blew, and the pink and white petals fluttered, like spirits in flowers surrounded by people in brocade clothes. .

"Wenqing, we heard that your second brother will participate in Chunwei this year. Is he sure to win the list?" Mrs. Guan asked with a smile. Although she is twenty years older than Xiao Wenqing, she has always been very close to Xiao Wenqing.

"Mrs. Guan, the outstanding students from all over the world are gathered in the capital, unless they are proud of their talents and are really talented, who can guarantee that they will be in the list?" Xiao Wenqing said modestly, "My second brother is just studying hard. Which one of the students participating in Chunwei did not pass the local first-level examinations? Therefore, whether my second brother can make the list depends on his performance and luck on the spot."

Speaking of luck, everyone couldn't help but think of a great Confucian 50 years ago. Although this man was talented, his luck was particularly bad. When he was young, he failed in the three consecutive Chunwei exams, and was so angry that he vowed never to take the exam again.The reigning emperor at that time knew that he had real talents and learning, but he always clashed with the examiners for no reason. When the examiners read the papers recorded by the clerk, he eliminated his papers and gave him special grace.This person was proud and disdained to enter the imperial court through the emperor's dispensation. From then on, he devoted himself to the study of learning and became a generation of great Confucian scholars. He taught a number one scholar, a Tanhua, and more than twenty Jinshi.

"Master Xiao is very lucky, and his younger brother's luck is definitely not too bad." Mrs. Liu, who came to admire the plum blossoms with her two daughters, said with a smile, "Mr. The master said that his comprehension is higher than that of Chief Xiao, and maybe his future achievements will be greater than that of Chief Xiao. The Xiao family is full of talents." 'Xiao Wenhua is now a sixth-rank chief of the Ministry of Criminal Justice'

Because Liu Zidan signed up for this year's Chunwei Examination, Liu Hanlin took the initiative to avoid suspicion, not to be an examiner, and temporarily stopped private communication with colleagues who might be examiners.The day before the exam, the emperor announced the list of examiners, invigilators and examiners at all levels.The prince is one of the chief examiners this year, which is clearly the reason why the emperor asked the future candidates to be grateful to the prince.

Mrs. Guan, who followed a young girl by her side, said with a smile on her face, "Mrs. Liu, I heard that the second and third sons of the Xiao family are good friends with the second son of your family. Going into the mansion, so that they don't leave early and return late. I wonder if you have the idea of ​​getting the moon first?" Her daughter is already married, and the young girl beside her is her natal niece.

"Hehehe, Mrs. Guan asked a good question." A lady looked at the two girls behind Mrs. Liu with a smile.The second daughter from Liu Hanlin's family is more than enough to match the second son of the Xiao family; Xiao Tiancai is so outstanding, any parent would not care about sisters marrying brothers at the same time, and the two families married twice in a short period of time.

The other wives immediately turned their eyes to Mrs. Liu's mother and daughter.The Liu family is very kind to the Xiao family siblings. Mrs. Mo Xiao and Mrs. Liu used to be aunts and younger siblings, and their relationship has always been very good. Have the two of them already thought about this?If so, they don't intervene.After all, the Xiao family brothers live in Liu's mansion, and they may have met the Liu family girl and have a good impression of each other.

The girls who came with their mother couldn't hide their envy and jealousy when they looked at the sisters of the Liu family.

They have more or less been in contact with Zhan Feiling from the Zhan family of Minister of War, and also with Zhan Feiling's girlfriends. They all heard that her husband dotes on her very much, never covets the beautiful dowry maid, and is worried about Zhan Feiling At a young age, Ling Ling suffered from the pain of not being able to conceive and the pain of giving birth, so she did not consider having children for the time being.Where can I find a husband and son-in-law who cares so much about his wife?
I heard that the Zhan family originally planned to use the daughter of the concubine of the third house to marry the boss of the Xiao family, but Mrs. Zhan suddenly intervened, and she did not hesitate to offend the third house to persuade the head of the Zhan family to marry her daughter who was not yet 15 years old, the eldest daughter of the eldest family, Zhan Fei Ling married the eldest of the Xiao family who had just passed the Jinshi examination and entered the Imperial Academy.She must have found out about the Xiao family in detail, knowing that the Xiao family has such a fine tradition, she would rather marry her most beloved youngest daughter to the boss of the Xiao family than her status and family background.

The man from the Xiao family is so nice, they also want to marry, not to mention that the Xiao family now has Lord Hou's son-in-law, and with the help of Lord Hou and the Zhan family of the Yue family, the boss of the Xiao family has gained a firm foothold in the capital and is gradually promoted.The Xiao family is now the upstart in the capital, and the men of the Xiao family are worthy of a noble daughter from the family.

Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a while and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, my family, Ziyuan Ziling, must be called the brother of Xiao's brother, and they cannot marry each other." If Liu and Xiao marry, their seniority will be confused, and it will be a serious crime in human relations.
