The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 59

Where is the case so easy to get?
If Feng Jin had such intelligence, he probably would have made his mark long ago, right?
Although when it comes to the township examination and general examination, there is no so-called human relationship. From entering the examination room to marking the papers, there are fixed rules.

But for low-level exams like the college exam, the case depends to a large extent on the likes and dislikes of the examiner Xuezheng.

Of course, no one can tell whether there is any human affection in this so-called likes and dislikes... But over the years, most of the scholars who have won the first case in the college examination have such a slight relationship with the main examiner at home. Not before the exam, maybe there will be after the exam.

Having lived in the Yang family for so long, Qin Niangzi still knows about this.

Just like Shaanxi, for so many years, no one with a foreign surname has taken the case, and every year the case is not Yang Jigui... If there is nothing tricky about it, who would believe it?
No matter how amazing and talented Feng Jin is, he still can't cross the unspoken rules here.

Who is playing a role here?
Seventh Lady has an extra concern.

However, it is a good thing for Feng Jin to win the case.

She smiled and walked into Siri's room.

Fifth Lady is discussing Quan Zhongbai with Sixth Lady and Ninth Brother.

"...I also met the wives and grandmas of the Quan family in Beijing." Wu Niangzi went to the capital and learned a lot. "Worthy of being a member of the royal family, the style of the whole body is not comparable to the few officials and family members we usually deal with."

"How is it better than our family?" Liu Niangzi's eyes shone brightly.

Women, from old to young, there is no one who doesn't like gossip.

Fifth Lady smiled. "It depends on who you compare with." She inadvertently revealed a bit of superiority. "Families in Beijing put on big airs, but when it comes to the bottom line, there is no place for them to be strong."

Everyone understands this truth, the middle of Beijing is respected, there is little oil and water, and the place is far away from the emperor, and there is plenty of oil and water. With the wealth of the elder's family when he first became an official, if he had earned his qualifications in Beijing, I am afraid that the Yang family is still poor and empty now.

Ninth brother praised Quan Zhongbai, "The action is chic, with the legacy of the Wei and Jin Dynasties."

"After all, the Quan family is different from ordinary dignitaries! Second Young Master Quan's grandmother is Princess Yining... She was also well-clothed and pampered since she was a child." Wu Niangzi talked about what she had seen and heard in Beijing, "It is said that the emperor likes Quan very much. The second young master, often recruited to accompany him in the palace, even personally praised 'my family's countless children are not as good as Quanfu Zhongbai'."

It is a great honor to be personally approved by the emperor.

"I heard that the second young master Quan has already made a good marriage!" Sixth Lady also said, "When I was in front of my mother, I heard Mrs. Li mention it to her, saying that it was the third young lady of the Da family."

The Da family is Concubine Hui's natal family, and it has been very popular these years. It is not unusual to marry the Quan family.

The two are close to each other...

"That's not clear." Fifth Lady didn't seem to be very familiar with the Quan family's private affairs. "The Quan family seldom go out and walk around. I have only seen Mrs. Quan once in Beijing for so long. However, with the name of a little genius doctor, I am afraid that the family background is low, and he is not worthy of his talent."

Being able to get the holy family, no matter what Quan Zhongbai does in the future, he will have extra help. Even if he can't inherit the title of the Quan family, it is not difficult to ask for favor.He was born with a good-looking talent, how could no one want to marry him?

Qin Niangzi felt a little melancholy in her heart.

For a moment, he thought of Quan Zhongbai's exhortation.

"I also hope Miss Yang takes good care of herself, smiles more in her spare time, and thinks about happy things!"

Although he has no special friendship with the Yang family, he has nothing to do with this concubine.

But the concern and sympathy when speaking are so sincere!

It seemed that he could feel his grievance and helplessness without a word.

Seventh Lady was in a daze.

Brother Jiu saw it, and changed the subject calmly.

"It's already 24 or 25, and I haven't seen my brother-in-law yet! Is it true that I can't see him until the wedding day?"

Fifth Lady and Sixth Lady both giggled.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to see him this time. When the second brother-in-law comes to welcome the bride that day, we can take a peek through the window."

The families of the daughters below the fifth lady are still young, so they can watch the bustle through the window and recognize the face of their brother-in-law.

Liu Niangzi sighed again, "Our family has few brothers, and the happy event is also deserted. Ninth brother can't get out of bed, so I have to ask Master Biao to set up a bar!"

"If my cousin isn't here, there won't even be anyone to hold the bar." Wu Niangzi also said, "There are few people but it's not lively. Last time Li's family married my daughter, my mother took me to a wedding banquet. There were more than 20 people. The brothers and sisters gathered together to set up bar drinks, which frightened my uncle so much that his face turned pale and he drank so much."

There is a custom in the south of the Yangtze River, no matter how high or low, when you get married, you have to set up wine for the new son-in-law. The wine is also particular. The son-in-law must keep his expression on for a few bowls in order to be considered a sincere marriage.There are also some people who are more elegant. While drinking, they also recite poems and compose Fu, showing their talents, and so on.

"When eldest sister got married, was Brother Jiu also blocking the door?" Seventh Lady couldn't help being a little surprised.

Brother Jiu was only five years old when the first lady got married, so I'm afraid he won't be able to do the job of blocking the door.

"At that time, I borrowed Shi Lang, Shi Shi Lang, and Shi Shi Lang from Li's family to accompany Brother Nine!" Wu Niangzi giggled, "Who knows how many little enemies, all eyes shine when they see the wine, and take advantage of others If you don't pay attention, the four of them drank seven or eight bowls, each blushing and sticking out their tongues, and I don't know who blocked whose door!"

Liu Niangzi smiled and shamed Ninth Brother.

Brother Jiu blushed, "I will definitely not steal a drink this time!"

"You have scars on your face, even if you can blow the wind, you may not be able to serve wine." Seventh Lady softly persuaded Brother Jiu, "It's better to rest!"

Brother Nine's wounds have mostly healed up, leaving a deep red scar. According to the diagnosis of several young masters of Ouyang's family, after about three or four months, it will not be visible anymore.The eldest wife and the seventh lady were very grateful.

Ninth Brother touched his face, "Hmph, I can't do it this time, there will be several more times!"

Everyone looked at each other for a few times, and couldn't help laughing, "You haven't finished the trouble this time, so you're thinking about the next time?"

#
On the morning of October 31, Mrs. Li sent the young masters to the Yang family early.

"It's so lively!" She smiled and greeted the eldest wife.

"It's going to be hard for the young masters again." The eldest lady was polite, and asked the young masters of the Li family to find Xu Fengjia to play.

"Why don't you see brother Jiu?" Mrs. Li inevitably asked.

The eldest lady prevaricated on the pretext that brother Jiu was suffering from the cold.

Mrs. Li smiled slightly, and asked about Er Niangzi without further questioning. "I'm going to get married tomorrow, so I must be a little nervous now!"

The eldest wife was also a bit dumbfounded, "It's still very peaceful! What can't bear it... I haven't seen it yet."

"It's the stuff of the housewife!" Mrs. Li couldn't help but be speechless. "Ordinary little ladies who have never seen the world, when it's time to get married, who doesn't burst into tears."

"Well, a family like ours can't tolerate her capriciousness." The eldest wife couldn't help but feel a little sad, "It's nothing like a small family from a poor family who devotes all their attention to doting on their children."

When the day came, the Yang family became quieter, the eldest wife invited Mrs. Xu and the second wife, and the four wives sat down to chat.

The little ladies also went out of the main room and went into the secluded room to talk to the second lady.

The second lady is also free now, except for a set of hand-embroidered wedding dress, the dowry is sent to the capital, and she doesn't need to work anymore.

The stacks of books in the secluded cave were also emptied and sent to the ship.

When Wu Niangzi saw it, she couldn't help feeling sad and shed tears.

Qin Niangzi also felt a little empty in her heart.

Although Er Niangzi is usually reticent and not a person who can get close at will, but with her, it is like having a backbone, knowing that at critical moments, Er Niangzi will come out to call the shots.

It stands to reason that when the second lady is at home, she has less room to play. She should hope that the second lady will marry far away as soon as possible.

But seeing the empty wing room, Qin Niangzi felt a little disappointed.

Soon, only she and Wu Niangzi were left in the main courtyard.

The eldest wife's cold temper... Fifth Lady's violent temper, no matter what Seventh Lady thinks, she feels that the road ahead is difficult.

Immediately woke up again.

Not enough people!
