Dressed as the Queen Mother to grasp the script of a strong country

Chapter 25 Liu Ruhui and Zheng Boying’s approach to officialdom
夜晚
Gate of Liu Mansion
Two black figures rode horses in the distance and came quickly.

"Drive~Xu~"

"Drive~Xu~"

The two of them rode their horses to the gate of Liu Mansion one after another, and got off the horses sideways. On top of the horses were Liang Meng's improved saddles and stirrups.

Ever since Liang Meng improved the saddle and stirrup, it has been popularized in Daijin.

"Brother Zheng, I'd better take one step ahead of you and give in." Liu Ruhuiguang Fengyueji smiled.

"Brother Liu, your riding skills are still superb, I admire you." Zheng Baiying said gently.

When the servants guarding the Liu Mansion saw that the person coming was the young master of the Liu Mansion, they quickly saluted.

"Young man, please salute the eldest young master. I have met him before."

"Get up, this is Zheng Baiying, the son of Prime Minister Zheng." Liu Ruhui said.

"Young man, I have seen Mr. Zheng and salute Mr. Zheng."

"Get up." Zheng Boying said.

"Quickly tell father and mother that your son Ruhui is back." Liu Ruhui said.

"Yes, I'll go right away." After the servant finished speaking, he hurried over to report.

"The eldest son is back, the eldest son is back."

Du Ruhui and Zheng Baiying strolled leisurely in the courtyard.

Xiaosi came to the courtyard of the master and his wife and shouted: "Master, madam, the eldest son is back. The eldest son is back with the sons of Prime Minister Zheng's family."

"What's all the fuss about?" Mr. Liu scolded him as he didn't like his servants shouting and yelling. He didn't have the style of a wealthy family at all.

"My lord, please forgive me. The eldest son has returned home, and the little man lost his sense of control because of his excitement."

"What, you mean Ruhui is back?" Mrs. Liu asked.

"As far as Madam is concerned, the eldest son is indeed back. Not only the eldest son is back, but also the sons from Prime Minister Zheng's family are here."

"Even the son of Prime Minister Zheng's family is here." Master Liu said.

"Master, did I hear you correctly? Is our Ruhui back?" Mrs. Liu said in disbelief.

Mrs. Liu has not seen Liu Ruhui for a year and misses her very much.

"Madam, you heard me right, Ruhui is back." Mr. Liu said.

After getting excited.

"Go and report the return of Mr. Liu and Mr. Zheng to the Queen Mother." Master Liu ordered.

"Hongyu, it's already night. What happened outside? Why is it so noisy?" Liang Meng asked when he heard the messy sounds.

"As for the Queen Mother, the eldest son of the Liu Mansion has returned. Even Prime Minister Zheng's son has also returned with the eldest son. Now the house has become lively." Hongyu said.

"That's right. No wonder it's so noisy outside. It turns out that the eldest son of Liu Mansion is back." Liang Meng said.

"The Queen Mother, shall we go meet the eldest son of the Liu Mansion?" Hongyu asked.

"Queen Mother, Hongyu, who are you going to see? Jing Huan is going too." Jing Huan looked sleepy, but he became sober and bright when he heard that he was going to see someone.

But before Liang Meng could answer, he saw someone coming from outside.

"Slave, please pay your respects to the Queen Mother. Mr. Liu sent your slave to report to the Queen Mother that the eldest son of the Liu family has returned. I would like to ask the Queen Mother if she would like to pay your respects to the Queen Mother now." The slave asked respectfully.

After the slave girl finished speaking, Jing Huan looked at Liang Meng with expectation and pleading eyes.

"Hongyu, the Ai family wants to meet the eldest son of the Liu family." Liang Meng said.

Liang Meng really couldn't refuse Jing Huan.

"Tell your master and your wife to wait for them. The Queen Mother will be here from time to time." Hongyu said to the maid outside the door.

"Yes, please leave." After saying that, the maid left and hurriedly reported to Master Liu and Mrs. Liu.

"Miss, the eldest young master is back." Liu Zizhu's maid said in pen and ink.

"Bi Mo, you said my brother is back?" Liu Zizhu asked.

"Miss, it's absolutely true that the eldest young master is here with the young masters from Prime Minister Zheng's family."

"Master Zheng? Bi Mo, hurry up and I'm going to the front hall."

"Why is it so noisy at night?" Liu Yuezhu said angrily.

"As far as I'm concerned, miss, it's the eldest son who's back." Yanzhi said.

"When the eldest son comes back, just come back. What's the fuss about? Is there such a big battle?" Liu Yuezhu said impatiently.

"Miss, the eldest son did not come back alone. The eldest son also came back with the eldest son from Prime Minister Zheng's family." Yanzhi said quickly when she saw her young lady's impatient look.

"Prime Minister Zheng? Is that Prime Minister Zheng Bingzhi?" Liu Yuezhu asked eagerly.

"Miss, it's none other than Prime Minister Zheng." Yanzhi said quickly.

"You damn girl, why didn't you tell me earlier and dress me up quickly?" Liu Yuezhu said.

"Jinzhi, why is there so much noise outside?" Liu Xingzhu asked.

"Miss, it's the eldest son and the son of Prime Minister Zheng's family who have returned." Jinzhi said calmly and steadily.

"Well, I understand." Liu Xingzhu said.

"Miss, if we don't go to the front hall, I'm afraid Madam won't like it," Jinzhi said.

"Then Jinzhi, please help me dress up and go and salute the eldest son." Liu Xingzhu said.

Liu Mansion Hall
Mr. Liu and his wife are sitting on the chairs at the front of the hall.

"Ruhui, please give my regards to your father and mother. Please pay my respects to your father and mother." After saying this, he kowtowed to the Liu family and his wife.

"Zheng Baiying pays homage to Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu. I would like to pay my respects to you two." Zheng Baiying saluted Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu.

After the salute, "Oh, my Ruhui, mother misses you so much." Mrs. Liu said happily.

From time to time, he compared Liu Ruhui's height and touched Liu Ruhui's cheek.

"Mother, please stop pinching my brother." Liu Zizhu said.

Mrs. Liu listened to Liu Zizhu's words and stopped pinching Liu Ruhui, "Mom, I'm so happy."

"Zizhu pays homage to brother." Liu Zizhu said.

Liu Zizhu became sweet and cute when she saw her brother.

"It's been a long time since I saw Zizhu, he's getting more and more graceful." Liu Ruhui said fondly.

"Yuezhu has met my eldest brother." Liu Yuezhu saluted Liu Ruhui, but looked at Zheng Boying with the corner of his eyes.

"Xingzhu has met my eldest brother." Liu Xingzhu bowed timidly.

"The two concubines are getting more and more beautiful now." Liu Ruhui praised the two sisters politely.

"This is the son of Prime Minister Zheng's family." Liu Ruhui pulled Zheng Baiying and introduced him to his sister.

"Zizhu has met Mr. Zheng." Liu Zizhu saluted Zheng Baiying dignifiedly.

"Yuezhu has met Mr. Zheng." Liu Yuezhu deliberately spoke in a gentle tone, and accidentally looked at Zheng Baiying when he raised his head.

Zheng Baiying immediately looked away.

"Xingzhu has met Mr. Zheng." Liu Xingzhu bowed his head timidly and saluted.

"The Queen Mother is here." Xiao Si shouted from outside the house.

Master Liu and Mrs. Liu quickly walked to the door of the hall to greet them, with everyone following behind. "I see the Queen Mother and the Ninth Princess." Everyone saluted.

"Pingshen." Liang Meng said.

Liang Meng saw Liu Ruhui and Zheng Boying at a glance in the crowd.

Master Liu noticed Liang Meng's eyes.

"Ruhui, Bai Ying, why don't you quickly pay your respects to the Queen Mother?"

"Liu Ruhui, see the Queen Mother."

"Zheng Baiying, see the Queen Mother."

"What a talented person, not bad."

Immediately, Liang dreamed that these two people were our reserve talents at Daikin, so why not investigate them.

"Since one of you is Prime Minister Zheng's son and the other is studying at Prime Minister Zheng's house, you must be very knowledgeable?" Liang Meng said lightly.

Everyone was shocked. Could it be that the Queen Mother wanted to examine their knowledge.

Everyone's thoughts are changing a thousand times.

"Don't dare."

"Don't dare."

The two gentlemen declined modestly.

"Master Liu, the Ai family would like to examine the literary talent of these two people." Liang Meng said.

"I wonder how the Queen Mother will examine them?" Mr. Liu was prepared in his heart, but he couldn't help but feel ashamed when he learned that the current Queen Mother really wanted to examine the knowledge of the two.

It is said that the Queen Mother is not like an ordinary boudoir woman, and Mr. Liu has also been cautious before. However, the Queen Mother has been approachable and approachable since she moved into the mansion, and she is just like an ordinary woman. She has never been out of the ordinary. As soon as she came today, she wanted to check the knowledge. unusual.

Master Liu became more respectful and careful.

When everyone saw that the inspection mentioned by the Queen Mother was not a joke, the hall couldn't help but become nervous.

"How to conduct an investigation? The Ai family came up with the investigation." Liang Meng said.

When Liang Meng spoke, he thought of a question.

The Queen Mother is a woman who has never read Confucianism. How to come up with a question? This is not nonsense.

In their hearts, everyone did not believe that the Queen Mother, a female prostitute, could pose the question.

Liu Ruhui and Zheng Baiying were even more arrogant as young talents at this time. They also felt in their hearts that although the Queen Mother was a queen mother, she was a female and it was impossible to raise any questions.

Liang Meng noticed everyone's suspicion.

"Hmph, I will definitely surprise you, the underestimating women." Liang Meng thought to himself.

Her expression remained unchanged, and Youyou spoke.

"The Ai family is a female family, and they don't understand the big principles. However, there is always a question in the Ai family's mind that I want to ask you two. I would also like to ask you two to help the Ai family solve the problem." Liang Meng said.

"Liu Ruhui is frightened, but if you ask your Majesty to speak, you will be able to clear up your confusion." Liu Ruhui said respectfully.

"Zheng Baiying is frightened, but if you ask your Majesty to speak, you will definitely be able to clear up your confusion." Liu Ruhui said respectfully.

"The problem of the Ai family is what is the way to be an official?" Liang Meng said.

"The way of being an official." Mr. Liu muttered to himself and began to sweat on his forehead.

The Queen Mother actually asked about the way to be an official. This was a big question. Even though she had been an official all her life, she still hadn't figured it out. It was too embarrassing for the Queen Mother to ask two young people like this.

Master Liu couldn't help but worry.

Mrs. Liu originally didn't know what the Queen Mother's question was like, but when she saw the sweat on Mr. Liu's forehead, she knew it and began to worry.

The daughter of the Liu family was eagerly looking forward to the two young masters being able to answer questions fluently.

"The way to be an official." Mr. Liu murmured, thinking non-stop, with a troubled expression on his face.

"The way of being an official." Mr. Zheng's face was calm, his eyes were blank, and the constant expansion and contraction of his fists exposed the turbulence in his heart.

When Liu Zizhu saw the serious expressions on the faces of her father, mother, and brother, she knew that the question asked by the Queen Mother was not simple, and she couldn't help but worry about her brother.

Liu Yuezhu didn't care about the exams in the hall. For Liu Yuezhu, he didn't care at all. Looking at Liu Zizhu's dignified appearance, he couldn't help but be reconciled to the thought that if he were the legitimate daughter, he would enjoy more Rich and prosperous, he looked greedily in the direction of Zheng Boying.

Liu Xingzhu didn't like the depressing atmosphere in the hall. He didn't care about the school entrance examination. He just hoped that time could pass by peacefully without worrying about himself.

Seeing Mr. Liu sweating on his forehead, Mr. Liu looked troubled. Although he didn't know what the way to be an official was, the Ninth Princess felt that her mother was getting more and more powerful. She could stump them with just a random question, and she couldn't help but show her pride. And an arrogant look.

Everyone in the small hall had different expressions.

After Liu Ruhui thought deeply, he said slowly: "Those who serve as officials should learn literature and martial arts to serve the emperor's family. Those who serve as officials should study well if they are good officials, and they should study well if they study well."

Liang Meng nodded and said: "Yes, only those who are knowledgeable can be our officials. Those who have learned martial arts should serve our country and work for the prosperity of our country. If you can't serve our country, why not?" As for learning civil and martial arts? Even officials who become our great lords have to keep in touch with learning."

"Master Liu, Mr. Ling is very good." Liang Meng said.

"I am scared." Mr. Liu said modestly.

"Hey, if you say something well, you have to praise it. There is no need to be modest." Liang Meng said.

"Ruhui, thank you, Queen Mother." Liu Ruhui saluted immodestly.

"Hahaha, this is the young man." Liang Meng said with a smile.

When Liang Meng saw that Zheng Baiying had finished thinking, he said, "Boying, tell the Aijia your answer."

"Bo Ying obeys the order." Zheng Bai Ying said.

"In Bai Ying's view, the official should be honest and clear-minded, honest and decisive, diligent and prudent, and the way to be an official is nothing more than this." Zheng Boying said humbly.

“The people value the king more than the king, put the people first, be honest and upright, judge cases fairly, work diligently and love the people, be cautious in words and deeds, and officials should love the people and be honest.

Bai Ying is very good. "Liang Meng praised.

"We, Daijin, have two rising stars who are serving the country and the people. Why worry that our Daikin will not be able to enter the prosperous age, and why should we worry that the people of our Daijin will not be able to live a good life?" Liang Meng said.

"The Queen Mother, what you said is absolutely true." Master Liu said.

Liu Ruhui was young and energetic, and was particularly satisfied with his answer. He regarded the Queen Mother's praise as the icing on the cake.

Although Zheng Boying tried her best to appear humble, calm, and a gentleman as calm as water, she could not hide her arrogance deep down.

Master Liu was very happy that his son could be praised by the Queen Mother, and he was full of expectations for the future of the Liu family.

When Mrs. Liu saw Master Liu, Liu Ruhui, and the Empress Dowager's expressions, she knew that her son had gained the Empress Dowager's trust. She felt that her son was very outstanding. The position is secure.

Liu Zizhu saw her brother who was praised by the Queen Mother. His brother's flamboyant appearance was in sharp contrast to the calm and self-possessed Zheng Baiying next to him. Zizhu's heart beat rapidly. The calm Zheng Baiying attracted Zizhu's eyes like a ray of light.

Seeing Liu Zizhu's eyes looking at Zheng Boying absentmindedly, Liu Yuezhu knew that Liu Zizhu's heart was with Zheng Boying.

The son of Prime Minister Zheng, from a well-known family, with a good appearance and extraordinary intelligence. Why can't I, as the concubine of Liu Mansion, have such a man?Why is she only qualified to be a concubine even if she has one?And this is just because of my status as a concubine.

I hate this unfair God. We are both daughters of the Liu family. How come Liu Zizhu can have everything, but I have to accept the fate of having nothing belong to me because of the difference between my concubine and my concubine.No, I don’t believe there is any difference between concubines and concubines. I just want to fight for myself.

Liu Yuezhu made up his mind.

Liu Xingzhu looked at the expressions of everyone in the hall and thought worriedly that he just wanted a peaceful life.

Ever since Ninth Princess learned to analyze people's expressions from Liang Meng, she began to observe people and felt that a new world had opened up. People's expressions were unpredictable, which made Ninth Princess very happy to explore.

"It's just..." Liang Meng said lightly.

Everyone who was immersed in their own world was brought back to reality by the Queen Mother's words.

Everyone respectfully waited for the Queen Mother to speak.
