Chapter 90 No Name on the List
"The Shen family that married Cui? Which family is that?" After hearing Dou Siqian's words, the eldest princess thought about it carefully, then turned to ask her daughter-in-law.

Although she didn't know it very well, Mrs. Guo knew it. After all, they were all in the capital, and she also went with them when they went to Shangdu.

"It's that Shen's family." The smile on her face faded a bit, Mrs. Guo thought for a while, and then asked Dou Siqian, "Is this girl from the Shen family's second wife?"

Dou Siqian thought for a while, then nodded uncertainly, and then Mrs. Guo turned to the eldest princess, responding to her question just now.

"Mother, this Shen family can only be regarded as a second-rate family at best. Logically speaking, our family does not care about family status, but the second room of the Shen family... is really not good enough."

"How do you say it?" said the daughter-in-law, and the eldest princess asked again.

"Before, my husband and I went to Dongdu with the official family. At that time, there were many officials and family members in Shangdu, most of whom were wives, but this one brought his concubine."

"That's all. I heard that the wife of the wife is not in good health, so she brought a concubine. But even if she is a noble concubine, she is still a concubine, but she uses the money of the mistress to make friends with all the officials and family members."

"I talked to my daughter-in-law at that time, but the daughter-in-law didn't like her appearance and ignored her."

"Although I've heard recently that Mrs. Shen's wife has recovered a lot and started to take care of things, but my daughter-in-law is always worried that the girls in his family will be influenced by that noble concubine."

When a wealthy family chooses a wife, it is not only about family status, but also about many other things.

As the legitimate son, Dou Siqian will inherit the Duke's Mansion in the future. The daughter-in-law he marries back does not ask for a noble daughter, but only seeks knowledge, knowledge and understanding, so that he can run the Duke's Mansion in a safe manner.

"Well, in that case, it's really not safe." After listening to the daughter-in-law, the eldest princess nodded, and was about to speak again when she heard her daughter-in-law's voice again.

"However, there is more than one room in the Shen family. We are talking about the girl in the second room. I heard that in a few days, the first room of the Shen family will come back."

"Master Shen works in the Imperial Academy, and is highly valued by the officials. The girl in his room will be able to take a look."

Seeing his grandmother and mother discussing about his marriage again, Dou Siqian sighed in his heart. He saluted his father, then picked up the brocade box, and sneaked out of the room when his grandmother and mother didn't notice him. out of the house.

When the eldest princess and the Duke's wife found out, he had already returned to his yard.

-

On the Dou Mansion's side, because of a brocade box, it sparked a lot of discussions.

In Pei's mansion on the other side, Pei Mingjing also received the brocade box. He was sitting in the study, taking out the contents of the brocade box one by one to look at.

"Ming Jing." A voice came from the door, he looked up and saw his eldest brother Pei Mingchu and second brother Pei Mingli standing there, their eyes were on his hands.

"Big Brother, Second Brother." Putting the things back into the brocade box, Pei Mingjing covered the brocade box and saluted the two elder brothers.

"I heard that a girl gave you something, so my elder brother dragged me over to have a look." Looking away from the brocade box and falling on Pei Mingjing's face, Pei Mingli said with a smile.

"Yes, Ming Jing, you will be 14 years old after the new year, but this girl is your sweetheart? Where is she from? Which family? How old is this year? Have you ever been married?"

"If you really like it, let me tell my father and mother tomorrow. Let's find a matchmaker to come to the door and mention it. Although your second brother's marriage has not yet been decided, it is a bit against the rules, but the rules..."

As soon as Pei Mingli finished speaking, Pei Mingchu picked up the words. Seeing that he was going to talk endlessly, Pei Mingjing turned to his second brother for help.

"Big Brother, Big Brother, let's sit down and talk if we need anything, don't stand at the door." Pei Mingli tugged at his elder brother's sleeve and pulled him to sit down.

Being interrupted by such an interruption, Pei Mingchu temporarily stopped talking, and sat down with Pei Mingli.

"Brother, I'm in school today. My husband asked us a question. I haven't figured it out after thinking about it for a long time. Please help me."

Seeing that Pei Mingchu who was sitting down was about to speak again, Pei Mingjing casually picked up the homework on the table and brought it to Pei Mingchu.

Hearing that there is a problem or not, Pei Mingchu reached out to take it, and looked at the question seriously. Pei Mingjing and Pei Mingli looked at each other, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

"This question is really difficult. Listen to me and tell you." Pei Mingjing would rather listen to his brother talk about the question than listen to his brother's rambling.

In fact, he knew this question, but he was really afraid that his elder brother would open his mouth again, and then he wouldn't be able to stop.

Pei Mingchu gave a lecture to Pei Mingjing, and Pei Mingli sat aside. Occasionally, he would take a look at the brocade box on the table.

Furthermore, after all, it is something given to the younger brother by the girl's family, and it is not good for the elder brother to check it without authorization.

"But what do you not understand?" After finishing the lecture, Pei Mingchu also helped his younger brother to check his homework.

In the Cui Family School, there are five courses in total, and there is one more course in the Government School, each of which must be studied.

Therefore, after finishing the lecture, Pei Mingchu was worried that his younger brother would still be unable to do so.

"Thank you brother, I understand everything else."

"That's good. If you don't understand anything, just ask me and your second brother." Pei Mingchu nodded, stayed in the study and had a conversation with Pei Mingjing, then got up and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, it is necessary to tell Datong again, those who know know that he has such a personality, those who don't know think that the brothers are about to part, and they haven't seen each other for a long time!
After finally seeing off the two elder brothers, Pei Mingjing heaved a sigh of relief and shook his head helplessly.

Glancing at the brocade box on the table, and then at the door, he opened the brocade box again, took out the items inside one by one, and replaced all the ones he used before with new ones.

-

Before dawn, a lot of people gathered from various government schools, waiting for the list to be announced, this happens every year.

Whether it was Shen's residence or Zheng's family, they had sent servants to guard them early on.

When the time came, the gate of the official school opened, and a few people walked out from it, and pasted the paper full of words outside the official school.

After those few people left, a group of people immediately gathered around, looking from the beginning to the end, and then from the end to the beginning.

If you didn't see the name, you squeezed out from the crowd with your head drooping.

If you see it, you will cheer, cry, or have a happy face, and come out from the crowd to report to your family.

Zheng Yuanbao was sitting in the carriage, waiting anxiously. Not long after, a servant squeezed out from the crowd, and came to the carriage with a mournful face.

"My lord, there's... your name is not on it." He spoke tremblingly, and the servant just finished speaking when there was a scolding sound from inside the carriage, "Nonsense, how could it not be there?"

After finishing speaking, he pushed Zheng Yuanbao aside with both hands, revealing a woman's face, seeing the expression on her face, the servant couldn't help shivering...
