In March, after the first spring rain, the weather became a bit warmer.

In Cheng Jiaoniang's small study, Chen Danniang put down the pen in her hand.

She rubbed her nose, looked at Cheng Jiaoniang and Chen Shibaniang who were still writing seriously, hesitated for a moment, then tiptoed out with their skirts in hand.

The small courtyard still smelled of wet spring mud, and the grass in the flower garden on the ground was covered with a layer of mist.

Chen Danniang took a deep breath.

"Nineteenth Mother." The maid was sitting on the porch of the house making socks, and when she saw her come out, she hurriedly got up, "Have you finished writing?"

Chen Danniang walked over and sat down on another floor mat, looking at the yard and exhaling.

"I wrote one." She said, shaking her wrist, "I just came here after finishing my homework at home."

It was very aggrieved to pout.

I can't play when I come, but I have to practice calligraphy. I knew I couldn't come.

"Nineteenth Niang is still young, just write one sheet, and when you have another cup of tea, Niangzi and Eighteenth Niang will finish writing and can play with you." The maid said, putting down her needle and thread, "I'll get some snacks for you." Is it good to eat? The lady made it with her own hands yesterday."

Chen Danniang clapped her hands and said yes, watching the maid get up and bring the dishes from the house.

Yellow, white, black, square, round, and rhomboid are scattered on several plates, soft and sweet.

"Wow." Chen Danniang said, stretched out her hand to take the silver spoon handed by the maid, then said nothing more, and began to eat happily.

When Chen Shibaniang and Cheng Jiaoniang came out after finishing their calligraphy practice, Chen Danniang had almost eaten up the plate.

"Miss Nineteen, you can't eat." The maid snatched the plate.Said, "Snacks are not a meal."

"Good sister, let me eat another one." Chen Danniang pleaded holding a spoon.

"Danniang, don't be rude." Chen Shibaniang said hurriedly.

"Sister, Miss Cheng's dim sum is very good." Chen Danniang said while holding her eyes brightly.

"I know." Chen Shibaniang smiled.

Mrs. Chen met Cheng Jiaoniang with Chen Danniang on the road, which has become a story that family members will talk about in the chat. Naturally, the details have not been missed. Chen Danniang ate someone's red bean cake.

Although she is small, Chen Danniang's tutor will not let her be gluttonous, and the Chen family is not a family that lacks food and clothing.Since it is so unforgettable, it must be something delicious that has never been seen or eaten before.

As Chen Shibaniang was talking, she looked at the tray held by the maidservant beside her. There were only two bamboo tubes left on the tray.

"This is corn millet in a tube." Seeing her gaze, the maid answered with a smile.

"Enen, it's delicious. There are dates and chestnuts in it." Chen Danniang said hurriedly.

Here, Cheng Jiaoniang put down the water bowl in her hand.

"My lady is going out?" the maid hurriedly put aside the snacks and asked.

This is Cheng Jiaoniang's habit these days. Every day after breakfast, she practices calligraphy with Chen Shibaniang, then she goes out to the Yudai Bridge house and comes back after dinner.

Chen Danniang stopped bothering about eating after hearing the words, and stood up.

"Sister Cheng. You go to my house to play." She said.

"Another day." Cheng Jiaoniang said.

"Why don't I invite my wife out to play some other day?" Chen Shibaniang said.

A few people walked out while talking.

"The spring is warm in March, so it's a good time for an outing." Chen Shibaniang continued.

"Yes, yes. Sister Cheng, let's go out to play together." Chen Danniang said while pulling Cheng Jiaoniang's sleeve and raising her head.

Cheng Jiaoniang nodded.

"Okay," she said.

Outside the second gate, the Chen family's carriage had already arrived, but the Cheng family's carriage did not.

"Miss, because madam and ladies are out today, so..." a servant woman said anxiously.

"A carriage is gone?" the maid raised her eyebrows and asked in displeasure.

"Only those servants and maids sit..." said the servant.

"Then take mine." Chen Shibaniang said hurriedly, "I'll see you where you are going."

"Okay." Cheng Jiaoniang said, nodding slightly in thanks.

It seems that spring is here in the blink of an eye.The street market is full of bright lights, and more and more men pass by with hairpin flowers.

"My lady, I can't get through the front, let's go another way."

said the driver.

The maid who lifted the curtain to see the street scene outside hurriedly looked forward, and she saw the crowd rushing ahead.

"Oh, I forgot." She suddenly said, and turned to look at Cheng Jiaoniang, "Miss, the list is released today."

Cheng Jiaoniang also looked out.

"I haven't arrived at the Guozijian yet, so there are so many people?" Chen Shibaniang asked.

The maid smiled back.

"Miss Chen doesn't know. There are people occupying seats in the middle of the night, and this street will be crowded with people. Some of the people who watch the rankings are some of them. Most of them are watching the excitement, and there are people waiting to catch their son-in-law." She covered her mouth and smiled. road.

Chen Shibaniang has only come to the capital this year, so she has heard of these customs before, but this is the first time she has seen them.

She couldn't help but also looked out, and sure enough, she saw a crowd of people rushing towards the street, cheering and shouting from time to time, and occasionally crying.

The maid jumped out of the carriage, looked around, and told the driver where to go.

"Banqin is very familiar with the capital." Chen Shibaniang said, looking at the maid outside.

"She has lived here for many years," Cheng Jiaoniang said.

"Hey, sister, have you lived here for many years?" Chen Danniang asked puzzled.

"No." Cheng Jiaoniang said, her gaze stayed outside.

Chen Shibaniang stopped Chen Danniang who was about to speak again, followed Cheng Jiaoniang's gaze, and saw people coming and going, and a young man stood beside Banqin.

"What a coincidence, we met again." Han Yuanchao said with a smile.

"Han Langjun, have you come to see the list?" The maid also said with a smile, with a kind and respectful expression.

The lady has put so much thought into this lord, it can be seen that it must be very important to the lady.

Han Yuanchao nodded.

"However, I have to do it again in three years." He laughed.

"Han Langjun, don't be discouraged." The maid comforted.

Han Yuanchao nodded.

"Don't be discouraged, I'm not the one who waits for talent to come out, how can I hit it once." He said with a smile.

Seeing that he wasn't too depressed, the maid was relieved.

Han Yuanchao looked at the carriage.

"I'm going out with the ladies." The maid said hastily.After hesitating for a moment, seeing that there was no reminder from Cheng Jiaoniang that she wanted to see Han Langjun in the car, she didn't move either.

Han Yuan stepped aside.

"I'm going to leave Beijing soon, and it's fate to meet you in Beijing, so let's say goodbye." He said, while saluting, "Please sister and Mrs. Weng bring gifts."

The maid hurriedly returned the gift.

Han Yuanchao nodded with a smile, turned and walked away, followed by his companions who were waiting.

"Your Majesty." The servant girl hurriedly shouted.

Han Yuan stopped a few steps away and turned around.

"When will Mr. Lang leave?" the maid couldn't help asking.

"Three or five days later." Han Yuanchao said.Arching his hands, he turned and strode away.

"Hey, I don't know if the woman sitting in that car is planning to catch her son-in-law." The companion laughed.

Han Yuanchao looked back, seeing that the maid and the carriage were out of sight at that alley, he shook his head and smiled.

I don't know if I was laughing at my companion's words, or at the misunderstanding when the maid came to the shop.

“It’s no longer a worry now,” he said.While stretching out his hand to scan his body, "No one will catch a scholar who failed the ranking."

Everyone laughed, but this laugh was a bit lonely after all.

"That carriage." A companion said suddenly, hesitant to speak.

"How about the carriage?" The others looked at him and asked.

"It seems to belong to Mr. Chen Shao and Chen Xianggong's family." The companion hesitated and said.

Chen Xianggong?

Everyone present looked surprised and couldn't help but look back.Naturally, the carriage was no longer visible.

"Ah, that's right. I remembered it too. I said why the emblem is a bit familiar..."

Voices sounded one after another.

Everyone looked at Han Yuanchao again, and Han Yuanchao also looked surprised.

The Chen family?

"Yuan Dynasty, you almost became the son-in-law of Chen Xianggong's family..." a companion murmured.

Han Yuanchao came back to his senses and let out a hi sound.

"Stop talking nonsense!" he said. "Nothing at all!"

The companions ignored it, and this little episode dispelled the depression in everyone's mind.He laughed happily.

On another street, a group of people also stopped.Looking at the crowds that were clearly rushing in one direction.

"Further on, we will arrive at the Guozijian. There are people watching the announcements on the street. They must be blocked by now. It's not easy to disperse." The two leaders whispered, turning their horses around.

A horse-drawn carriage is surrounded by people with a bright guard of honor.

"Jun Wang, the Guozijian can't go here, we have to take a detour." The two replied.

"Let's take a detour." The male voice in the car said.

The guards were ordered to turn the carriages and horses around, and before they could move forward, the curtains of the carriages were lifted suddenly.

"Wait a minute," said the young man who revealed his description.

Everyone froze and stopped.

King Jin'an looked aside, this is a stone bridge across the river, because today's announcement, the excitement of the whole capital flocked to the Guozijian, so the bridge, which was always lively, became deserted.

A carriage stopped in front of a house at the end of the bridge, and three maidservants were helping two girls and a girl to get off the carriage.

Seeing one of the women, Duke Jin'an narrowed his eyes.

"Since you're here, come in and have a seat." Cheng Jiaoniang turned her head and said.

It was extremely rare to get an invitation from this woman, and Chen Shibaniang and Chen Danniang naturally agreed.

When the three of them were about to take a step, they could hear the sound of horseshoes.

"Hey, someone's carriage is in the way!" a man shouted in a rough voice.

Because there are carriages in and out, and they don't walk outside, the two women didn't cover their faces. This cry made them subconsciously look up.

The descriptions of the women are exposed to outsiders.

"Hey, can you walk?" the servant of the Chen family raised his eyebrows, pointing at the wide street, "How can you hit a car hard?"

The man on horseback snorted and squinted at the emblem hanging on the car.

"I just can't get used to people like you who are in power." He muttered, flattering his horse and passing by.

"It's really inexplicable!" said the maidservant, supporting Cheng Jiaoniang, "Lady, let's go in."

Watching the women file in, the carriage was also driven in, and the courtyard door was closed.

King Jin'an withdrew his gaze.

"Jun Wang, it's the carriage of Chen Shao's family." A guard stepped forward and said in a low voice.

"I know." King Jin'an said, putting down the curtain of the car, "Let's go."

The guard waved his hand, and the chariot and horse continued to move forward.

Inside the shaking car, a smile appeared on the boy's face.

I know.

Chen Su, Chen Shibaniang.

It's hard to forget such an ugly person. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
