The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 111 The Prince's Doubts (5)
Qian Rui gritted his teeth tightly, clenched his hands into fists, his nails dug into his palms, and the blood trickled down drop by drop, but he didn't feel any pain at all.It took him a long time to calm down, and he said: "This junior is reckless in today's matter, please don't take it to heart, Uncle He. Don't worry, in the future, this junior will not pester Miss Ran anymore. I only hope that you can do it in the future." Treat her well..."

Qian Rui came down from the box on the second floor in desperation, left some money for tea, and returned to Qian's Mansion dejectedly.

Looking at Qian Rui's back, He Minglang couldn't help raising his lips and giving a faint smile.

After the end of the rural examination, the examination papers of candidates from all over the country were sent to the capital one after another.Under normal circumstances, the Ministry of Rites just goes through the motions and usually just flips through these test papers, but this year there is a new situation.

Because of Lin Xuezheng's special recommendation, Zhao Shihua's second strategy was separately proposed and sent to the imperial court.

Emperor Yang Hao, who was just 40 years old this year, was in the prime of his life when he was in the prime of his life, and he really appreciated this policy theory. Then he checked Zhao Shihua's other two test papers and Zhao Shihua's resume from the Lin Xuezheng Daily.

Seeing that Zhao Shihua once served as a teacher to Qian Pengyang, the county magistrate of Hejiang County, and recalling the shrewdness and courage shown by Hejiang County in dealing with the snow disaster relief at the beginning of the year, Yang Hao immediately knew why Qian Pengyang, who has never been very outstanding, could have Such an excellent performance.

After reading Zhao Shihua's three test papers, Yang Hao and Lin Xuezheng had the same opinion, knowing that this exam is capable of doing practical things, but they really haven't read enough books.However, a son from a farming family still made Yang Hao admire him a lot.For the emperor, the best courtiers are capable courtiers who have no support behind them.And Zhao Shihua is such a person.

Subsequently, Yang Hao ordered Zhao Shihua's policy to be distributed to government offices across the country in the form of official newspapers for officials at all levels to learn from.

The third prince Yang Yan had doubts when he saw this policy theory.Why did he see in this policy theory that there are many things that are not yet available in this era?For example, working for relief, such as borrowing money from merchants, raising funds from ordinary people...

Immediately afterwards, Yang Yan copied a copy of Zhao Shihua's resume to read, and found that a farmer who had left his books for eight years, suddenly picked up his books, unexpectedly passed the examination of scholar, and then took the examination of Juren, and contacted him again. The shortcomings in the history, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a traveler who has changed his soul.

Unfortunately, this Zhao Shihua is a man.However, since you are a fellow villager, if you can take care of it, let's take care of it!Two people always know more than one.

Thinking of this, Yang Yan recruited the secret agent he had just formed and said: "Check out this Zhao Shihua for me!"

An Ran has been waiting for news from Qian Rui, but after waiting for three days in a row, Ji Qiu handed her a pouch after Zhao's family went to Qian's to propose a marriage, which contained a bag of pine nuts and a letter, saying It was given to her by the young master of the Qian family.

An Ran opened the letterhead scented with flowers and saw that there were only a few short sentences in it: Zhiran sister and son Qingqing Huijian: The elder brother was incompetent and unable to do what he promised Qingqing the day before yesterday.But please don't worry about Qingqing, the second uncle loves you the most, so Qingqing won't be wronged.Moreover, it is still too early for you to leave the cabinet, and it is unknown if there may be variables in the future.In the future, if there is an assignment, the eldest brother will never hesitate to die.In addition, I ask for a small portrait of sister Hui Cun.Don't read, take care!Sincerely, Big Brother Minzhi
An Ran stared at the letter for a while.Did the elder brother say that he had approached his father and Uncle He, but was rejected?In fact, she had a premonition a long time ago. If there is no major reason for this ancient marriage, how can it be so easy to withdraw?What's more, Dad has always been optimistic about Uncle He's son, and thinks that the elder brother is too old, so how could he agree to withdraw from the marriage?If father would agree, he wouldn't be in a hurry to help her arrange the marriage of the He family, right?

It's just that big brother wants a small portrait of her, will she give it or not?

According to the rules of this era, it is strictly forbidden to give and receive privately.Strictly speaking, Big Brother shouldn't have written this letter.But An Ran has a soul of the 21st century, so naturally she doesn't take this rule very seriously.Moreover, she is only "five years old", so it doesn't matter if she is known.

Thinking that I owed my elder brother a lot, and made him sad. Seeing that the Qian family is about to enter Beijing, I don’t know where Master Qian will go to work in the future. Maybe I will never see him again in this life. It doesn’t matter if I give him a small portrait, right?

Thinking of this, An Ran first looked at herself carefully on the bronze mirror, then felt that she couldn't see clearly, so she asked someone to fetch a basin of water.She took a close look at her own face in the water and remembered it in her heart, then quickly sketched a small portrait of a smiling girl on the rice paper on the drawing board with charcoal sticks.

But the girl on the rice paper looks like five or six years old, with two buns on her head and a light headband tied; a slightly messy bang on the forehead makes the whole person a little more agile; a pair of big watery eyes The black and white eyes are distinct, revealing a bit of intelligence and a smile; the small nose, the slightly curved lips, and the small dimple on the left cheek...

It's really inconvenient not to have a glass mirror, even An Ran doesn't know it, so she looks so cute!

An Ran thought, let the big brother keep his smile!Hope he's not so sad.

Then, she wrote in the blank space on the right: May big brother find his own happiness, big brother take care!
The small portrait is finished, and the reply letter can be saved, but how to send it to the big brother?
An Ran wanted to do one thing without doing two things, and planned to ask Jiqiu for help, but unexpectedly, the little girl Yulan ran in in a panic, saying that his wife wanted to hit Jiqiu's elder sister's board.

An Ran was startled, and immediately thought of the purse that her elder brother entrusted Ji Qiu to bring in.She quickly folded up the letter and the small portrait, packed them in a pouch, and hid them under the flowerpot, before rushing to the front yard.

In the front yard, Gu Wanniang was sitting on the main seat in the hall giving lectures, and all the servants of the family were kneeling below, while Jiqiu was still lying on the long spring bench, with the big clothes outside, and the blue trousers were faintly covered. Stained with blood, her mouth was blocked with a white cloth, her face was covered with tears, and she passed out with her eyes closed.

An Ran ran over in shock, and tremblingly stretched out her little hand to Jiqiu's neck.Feeling the powerful pulsation of the carotid artery, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
