Twin Brocade

Chapter 385 Gossip
The next morning, Fang Jinshu had just gotten up when he received two gifts.

One was sent by Wei Sijie, and the other was sent by Princess Jing'an.The two coincidentally avoided the day of her birthday, precisely to prevent her from being envied.

However, the two princesses sent gifts one after another. No matter how low-key they were, how could others not know about it?At least, in Fang's family, there is that jealous person.

But Fang Jinshu didn't care about all of this.

In her previous life and present life, she was always a person with a firm goal.She can hold back, but she doesn't care too much about what others think and look at her.She will only act when this kind of gaze will affect her actions.

After Fang Fei put the gift into the treasury, she went to school with Fang Jinhui as usual.

The 12th birthday that everyone valued was just an ordinary day to her.She doesn't have any expectations for her marriage, and she doesn't care who she marries, so what's so important about this birthday?
She didn't take this matter to heart, but in the social circle of the capital, the fourth girl of the Fang family has entered the field of vision of everyone.

Compared with previous years, winter came earlier this year.It's not yet the New Year, the weather is getting colder, and the first snow falls in Luoyang City.

The whole capital is covered with thin white snow, especially on both sides of Luoshui River, the scenery is even more beautiful.As far as the eye can see, it is covered with white snow, and the crystal clear Luoshui flows in this ice and snow world, like a moving picture scroll.

Now that the snow has accumulated, the "Snow Appreciation Ceremony" was held again in Plum Shadow Hall.

As usual, officials of different ranks sat and discussed in the front yard, arguing fiercely.The wives and girls are enjoying the scenery in the back mountain.

The difference is that there are many new faces at this year's literary conference.They are all officials who have obtained official positions after the big competition at the beginning of the year, as well as their female relatives.

Most of these Jinshi from the third year of Qinglong were sent to various places in Gaomang, either serving as parents' officials, or serving as real shortages under the hands of Zhou Mu.After all, there are only a small number of people staying in Beijing, less than [-] in detail.

But this is already the group of Jinshi who have served the most in Beijing over the years.In the subsequent officialdom, people are always envious of these Jinshi, and they get the best opportunities.

Right now, because of the same year, they are all officials with shallow foundations.At this moment, they gathered spontaneously and looked at the two great scholars who were arguing fiercely in the hall.

Quan Moxian was particularly conspicuous among these people.

Not only because of the sixth-rank official uniform on his body, which is the highest rank among all the people.Even more because of his demeanor, standing among them, he stands out from the crowd as if he stood out from the crowd.

Most of the students who were enlightened to study at an early age and passed the five tests and passed the examination to become a Jinshi were middle-aged men.Only young heroes like Fang Shuyu and Quan Moxian, who are rare to see, can pass the Jinshi examination when they are still teenagers.

And such a young handsome man is destined to have an extraordinary life.Officialdom is a place that pays attention to seniority, and this seniority does not depend on age, but on the number of years in office.

Therefore, because they are young, their future is destined to be much greater than that of those who have only started to enter the officialdom when they are almost middle-aged.As long as you don't make mistakes and rise steadily, you can see that you have a bright future.

It is precisely because of this that the Si family married their precious daughter to Fang Shuyu, who had no foundation at the beginning; the Marquis of Cheng'en also wanted to recruit Quan Moxian as his son-in-law through marriage.

Ordinarily speaking, for Quan Moxian to become a sixth-rank official at such an age, he would definitely provoke dissatisfaction from the crowd.Literati look down on each other, since ancient times, no one will be convinced.

But because of the matter of Princess Baochang, Quan Moxian gained the reputation of being affectionate and righteous, never abandoning the dross, fighting against the powerful, and preferring to bend rather than bend.Although he did not intend to gain such a reputation, if he could exchange his reputation for Lin Chenfei's health, he would rather bear the stigma.

Peng Changsheng knows his affairs best.So he sent people to build up momentum for him in Beijing. Even though these Jinshi in the same year were dissatisfied with his prose and learning, they all admired his character.

In this way, Quan Moxian faintly became the leader of this group of officials.

It's just that these new recruits who have just entered the officialdom are not qualified to show at such a literary meeting where great Confucian seniors gather.This visit is more about observing and learning.

In time, when they all grow up, they will become the backbone of the officialdom.

Quan Moxian's wife, Lin Chenfei, was sitting in a warm pavilion in the backyard with the female relatives of the Jinshi.She looked down at her fingernails, concealed the uneasy expression on her face, and remained silent.

Such a social situation made her very uncomfortable, and she didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, the servant girl who served her asked softly: "Grandma, why don't you go out with me to relax?"

The slaves of the Quan family were trained by Nanny Liu, and the back house was orderly.This servant girl who served her personally was one of the official maids who were re-purchased by Madam Liu.

Compared with the servants that Quan Moxian bought from Ren Yazi before, these maidservants are undoubtedly much easier to use.The servant girls sold by the government have a clean background, and they have gone through hardships with the master's family, so they cherish the new master's family very much.

After Mammy Liu stared at them personally, and taught them all the time, they picked out the two most suitable ones to serve Lin Chenfei.

Lin Chenfei is now the wife of a sixth-rank official at any rate, if there are too few people around to serve her, the Quan family will only appear shabby.Therefore, she, who had never used servants before, was trying to adapt to her identity.

At this time, she was sitting a little bored, and she didn't dare to speak casually, and the maid's proposal was exactly what she wanted.So she got up and confessed, and the maid helped her out of the room, and walked slowly in the corridor.

There are many female relatives outside, all of them are surrounded by jewels and emeralds.Looking at their elegant demeanor, Lin Chenfei felt even more ashamed.

Fortunately, she didn't know any of these ladies and ladies, so she just nodded her head and didn't need to greet them.This made her much more relaxed than when she was in the house.

Pulling the cuffs of her new dress, and stroking the non-existing creases on the skirt, Lin Chenfei walked towards a place where there were few people.

Just as they passed by, a burst of laughter erupted in the room next to it, followed by the voices of several women.When others were talking, Lin Chenfei wanted to walk over quickly, but when she heard Quan Moxian mentioned in their words, she couldn't help but stop.

"Tell me, why is that No. [-] scholar so determined to marry that village girl?"

"Who says it's not." Another woman said mysteriously: "Don't talk about Princess Baochang, many wives want to marry their daughters to him. I heard that before the palace examination, Cheng Enhou wanted to marry her to him. The twelve mothers of my own family will marry him."

"Twelve Niangs?" Someone sneered and said, "What kind of identity is she, let's go dreaming!"
