Chapter Five Hundred and Forty-One Career (Part 2) 541

Eleven Niang also got the news over there.365.net

The ranking was just too low. Xu Lingyi said implicitly. I heard that only 340 people were selected this time.

Eleven Niang suddenly thought of the widely circulated couplet about washing Mrs. Ru's feet and granting her the title of Jinshi. Comparing concubines with officials who were born in the same Jinshi family, one can imagine how people who were born with the same Jinshi family are ranked in terms of seniority in the officialdom.

I'm embarrassed and helpless. What's worse, it's not like the college entrance examination. If you don't do well, you can retake it. It's a test that determines your life.

Maybe the fifth brother-in-law's answer was particularly brilliant during the palace examination, she hoped.

No matter how good he is, the possibility of entering the top two is very small.

The results haven't appeared yet, so why bother letting these nihilistic things make Eleven Niang unhappy.

Xu Lingyi smiled and said: It's time.

It will take at most a month for the results of the palace examination to come out. Moreover, the emperor's questions are often related to important court affairs. Zichun has been in Beijing for many years and has a certain amount of experience, so he might be able to get into the top two.

Eleven Niang knew that Xu Jinyi was trying to comfort her, so she nodded with a smile and asked if she wanted to go to Sixiang Hutong to congratulate her.

You can send a personal mother there, Xu Lingyi said. I will go and congratulate Zichun after the results are released.

Eleven Niang thought that Qian Ming would be rewarded for passing the exam, she had to pay a visit to her teacher, and her classmates in the same year were banqueting each other, so there were many places to spend money, so she sent Mother Song to give Fenghong a gift of two hundred taels of silver.

Song's mother came back and whispered to her: Fifth Aunt was furious because she had a tea cup for Zhuo Tao, and even said that she would call Granny Ya. Uncle Qian was upset when he saw it, and was hiding in the kitchen drinking.

I'm afraid it's because Qian Ming didn't do well in the exam and he used the topic to his advantage.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but frown.

Wu Niang became increasingly frustrated.

Even if Qian Ming was granted a Jinshi background in the end, could losing his temper like this change the facts?

She paid more and more attention to the time and results of the imperial examination.

At this moment, news came out from the palace that Sister Fang had successfully given birth to a baby boy.

Mrs. Zhou was so happy that she didn't know what to do. Although there was a curfew on the street, she still rushed to Hehuāli to tell Eleven Niang the good news.

I pray to God and worship Buddha every day. I really would rather shorten my life span by ten years. As she spoke, she shed tears. The Crown Princess got what she wanted. It was all the result of His Highness. Otherwise, how could the Crown Princess have continued to live forever?

pregnant with three children

The eleventh mother couldn't help but laugh when she heard that she attributed the credit to the prince. She casually put the roly-poly that was thrown on the kang by Brother Jin into the rattan basket that was placed on the kang.

Mrs. Zhou snorted: "Brother Jin, why don't we see Brother Jin?" Then she said, "Speaking of which, the Crown Princess was able to give birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, thanks to our brother Jin." She smiled and told Qiu Yu on the side, "Quick, go and hug Jin."

Brother, come here, I have a big red envelope for him.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but feel ashamed. She hurriedly said: This is all the blessing of the Crown Princess, what does it have to do with our Brother Jin?

Mrs. Zhou ignored her and only urged Qiu Yu to pick up Brother Jin.

Qiu Yu looked at Eleven Niang flying as if asking for help. Eleven Niang was very happy to see Mrs. Zhou. Thinking that it was a fun thing anyway, she nodded towards Qiu Yu.

Qiu Yu happily bowed her knees and retreated.

Mrs. Zhou then picked up the tea cup and took a sip. She smiled and said: I am not one of those cabinet bachelors. Good things are my own, and bad things are the responsibility of the six departments. If it weren't for our brother Jin's great fortune, how could we have done it first?

Attracted brother Shen, and later the emperor’s grandson

While they were talking, Qiu Yu came in with Brother Jin in her arms. Mrs. Zhou actually got off the kang and greeted him, and took Brother Jin in one hand.

Brother Jin, she shouted and kissed Brother Jin on the cheek, you are really lucky. Do you know that you have become an uncle?

Brother Jin is not afraid of strangers, so he giggled when he saw someone liking him.

Mrs. Zhou liked it even more when she saw it. She hugged him and sat on the kang. She took out a big red purse from her sleeve and embroidered it with a pattern of a longevity star holding a plum blossom and a deer and stuffed it into brother Jin's hand.

This is a red envelope given by your aunt, keep it and use it slowly

My sister is so polite. When she is happy, she gives some money to make everyone around her happy. Eleven Niang can understand Mrs. Zhou’s mood and smiles to thank Brother Jin. Brother Jin has already sat aside to solve the problem.

From the purse, he took out a bunch of eight small gold ingots wrapped in red ribbons, each one the size of a huā uncooked rice.

He was very happy and showed it to Eleven Niang with ecstatic sounds.

Although this thing is expensive, it is not rare.

Eleven Niang smiled and tied it around Brother Jin's waist.

Brother Jin was sitting on the kang, playing with the few gold ingots without even raising his head.

Mrs. Zhou was also happy when she saw that he liked him. She hugged Brother Jin and kissed him a few more times: No wonder our wife always misses him after seeing him for a day. Even I can’t wait to take him home.

Eleven Niang pursed her lips and smiled, and talked to Mrs. Zhou about the three baptisms: "We will go together then."

Mrs. Zhou nodded repeatedly: We will go together then. Seeing Brother Jin struggling to climb onto the kang in her arms, she let go. Brother Jin crawled away and crawled into Eleven Niang's arms. Mrs. Zhou

I touched brother Jin’s black hair, and our brother Jin also went together.

Enter the palace

Eleven Niang couldn't help but sweat, and said: He is at the naughty age. I think it is better not to go. Otherwise, he will bump into things in the palace, which is not good.

If you want to go, how can you not go? Mrs. Zhou insisted that I would personally help to watch over it, and I would never let him damage anything in the palace.

She was afraid of touching her son.

Eleven Niang responded vaguely, but on that day she handed Brother Jin over to Xu Lingyi. Mrs. Zhou complained a few words and wanted to send someone to pick up Brother Jin before entering the palace, but Eleven Niang had no choice but to take it with him.

The excuse that it would be too late to enter the palace gave up Mrs. Zhou's idea. Unexpectedly, after entering the palace, Sister Fang asked again. She heard that Eleven Niang said that she was afraid that Brother Jin would damage the things in the palace, so she covered her sleeves.

Laughing: Do these things still exist? Our brother Jin is so precious. He ordered the servant to go to Hehuā to pick up brother Jin.

After hearing this, the eldest princess shouted from the side: Don't let Brother Jin enter the palace, he will hurt my ears.

The whole room was filled with women wearing bright red Zhai clothes and nine hairpins. They all looked at each other and lowered their heads to drink tea.

The queen's gentle and gentle voice sounded in the room: Brother Jin is still young and he is unintentional. As a sister, you have to let him have some control.

Feng Niang was secretly happy and winked at Sister Fang.

Sister Fang understood and winked at Mrs. Zhou.

After Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, Mrs. Zhou immediately smiled and said: "What time has the Qin Tian Jian decided to be auspicious? Should we start bathing the emperor's eldest grandson?"

Princess Chang Ning immediately answered the question and told the maid: Go and see what time it is.

The palace maid bent over her knees and walked out quickly.

Princess Chang Ning talked about Ren Kun’s three baptisms: It’s winter, and my heart aches just looking at it. Our emperor’s eldest grandson is lucky enough to be born in April when the spring is warm and blooming.

Everyone was talking and laughing, covering up the embarrassment just now, and there was a scene of celebration again.

Eleven Niang felt like someone was staring at her for a long time without moving away.

She remained calm and glanced quickly out of the corner of her eye.

It's Jiang Jinkui standing next to Princess Chang Ning.

Her expression became even more depressed, and she huddled behind Princess Chang Ning, even more humble than the palace maid standing next to her.

Eleven Niang was a little surprised.

She thought of Jiang Jinkui taking the initiative to greet her, and also thought of Ren Kun's method of killing Wang Lang, and finally decided to pretend not to see it and listen to the words of the ladies in the house with a smile.

A palace maid ran in and whispered a few words to Sister Fang.

Sister Fang's eyes fell on Eleven Niang, then she shook her head gently, and replied a few words to the maid, who bowed and retreated.

The queen glanced at Eleven Niang gently.

Not knowing what happened, Eleven Niang was a little uneasy and looked towards Mrs. Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou nodded slightly towards her, indicating that the matter would be taken care of by her.

The eleventh mother did not dare to be careless. Although the scene of the three baptisms that followed was lively, she followed the rules and followed the dowager's side, trying to be low-key and low-key. She finally stayed up until the time came and invited everyone to the side hall to eat the longevity of the emperor's eldest grandson.

On the other side, she saw Mrs. Zhou sitting there without moving. They had not come out yet after leaving the Nuan Pavilion. Then she calmed down and helped Mrs. Zhou to the side hall.

When everyone was seated, Mrs. Zhou walked in and winked at Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang bowed slightly.

After eating the longevity noodles, everyone went to bid farewell to Sister Fang, Shiyiniang, and walked around to do her duty, and then came together with Mrs. Zhou.

It's okay, Mrs. Zhou said in a low voice, His Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to ask if Brother Jin is here. Well, he was asked to take Brother Jin over and have a look. Then he complained, I asked you to bring Brother Jin into the palace, but you didn't

Listen. I lost an opportunity to meet His Royal Highness.

Who knew there would be such an opportunity. Eleven Niang had no choice but to laugh and say, it’s too late for me to regret it now.

Just as she was talking, someone called Eleven Niang in a low voice: Mrs. Yongpinghou

Eleven Niang turned around in surprise.

Jiang Jinkui stood beside the big red floor-to-ceiling pillar and looked at her timidly.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but look for Princess Chang Ning in the crowd.

Then I saw Princess Chang Ning walking beside the Queen and listening to the Queen's words attentively.

What is Jiang Jinkui looking for?

Mrs. Ren and Eleven Niang cursed in their hearts and greeted her hesitantly.

I have something important to tell you. She looked left and right, as if she was afraid of being discovered.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou smiled at Eleven Niang and quickly caught up with Princess Yong'an in front of her.

Eleven Niang had no choice but to stop and said with a smile: What's wrong with Mrs. Ren?

Jiang Jinkui bit her lip and whispered: Your Fang family, she, her wife

Eleven Niang couldn't hide her surprise and couldn't help but look at her carefully.

Jiang Jinkui's eyes were only anxious, and her expression was only worried.

Really, I didn’t lie to you. When she saw Eleven Niang’s sharp eyes and slashing at her like a knife, she couldn’t help but wince and murmured, our family is related to theirs by marriage. You are also from Jiangnan, and Yuhang is far away from Huzhou.

It's not far. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to Huzhou to ask. Her former betrothed was to a person whose surname was Hu, from a prominent family in Ninghai, and was Mrs. Fang's natal nephew. Her later betrothed was to a person whose surname was Huo and who was from Huzhou.
