After receiving the banknote and counting it correctly, the woman signs and pledges her signature on the gift book, which requires the woman to give a gift in return.
When Fang Xiucai was thinking about how to buy some gifts, Wu Jue said: "The writing on the wall is elegant and graceful. I know it is good at first sight. My son-in-law likes it very much. Can it be considered as a return gift to my son-in-law?"
Fang Xiucai was stunned: "This is inappropriate."
"What's wrong? In the future, it will be hung in my son-in-law's house so that his children and grandchildren can admire it, study hard, and pass down poems and books to the family. This is a rare thing."
Fang Xiucai was so happy when he was told that he immediately asked his son and Uncle Fang to take off the calligraphy. He also went to the study to get some calligraphy and paintings, and gave them to Wu Jue as a return gift.
Seeing the calligraphy and paintings being bundled together with red silk, Fang Xiucai immediately straightened his back a lot.
The next step is to talk about the wedding date. Unexpectedly, even the application form was ready.
Everything was done in one day. Matchmaker Fang had never encountered a man who acted so quickly. Everything was done thoroughly and thoroughly prepared. I feel like I don’t have much use for myself, so receiving so much matchmaking money is a bit...exciting!
Looking at the time on the red paper, it was the sixth day of March, which was the 100th day of national mourning.
In the past, the national mourning lasted for three years, but if you don't get married or have children for three years, the country's power will decline, and the resentment of people will inevitably lead to the wrath of God. So later it was changed again and again. Some years or one month later, the national mourning of this dynasty was a hundred days.
Seeing that the wedding day was set at the beginning of next month, Fang Xiucai frowned slightly: "Otherwise, the time is too tight?"
When I walked into the house, I didn't see Xining. I saw Fang Qingqing doing needlework, and the nanny next to me was playing with the child.
Oops, Fang Xiucai was so happy that he almost flew into the air. He hurriedly said to his son: "Did you hear that? Study hard. If you win a prize in the future, you can help your brother-in-law."
Fang Xiaoxiucai grabbed the letter, read it quickly, and repeatedly confirmed that the recommendation letter was genuine. His mouth burst into tears immediately, and he couldn't help himself: "Dad, I can go to Yueyang Academy to study, and I can also go to the Imperial College in Beijing! "
If it weren't for the national mourning period, Fang Xiucai would have agreed even if it was tomorrow, not to mention early next month.
Fang Xiucai quickly stated that he was. When he opened the letter and read it, his hands trembled immediately: "This is a letter of recommendation from the Lord of Xining County, asking my son to study at Yueyang Academy. If he passes the exam next year, he can go to Yingtian Academy."
"Yeah~" Fang Qingqing nodded shyly.
The child saw that this person was unfamiliar and was about to cry, but he was attracted by the colorful chicken feathers and reached out to grab it. It was fluffy and fun, so he laughed.
I haven’t seen him for half a month. Wu Jue has lost weight due to traveling back and forth. Fang Qingqing has been taking care of her, and this person has become plumper, and her skin has become much whiter and tenderer, looking more hydrated.
"My dear son-in-law, you have lost your parents. From now on, I will treat you as my biological son. If my daughter gets angry with you, just tell me and I will make the decision for you." At this time, Fang Xiucai looked at Wu Jue, what the hell is that? Everything seemed satisfactory, and Wu Jue's scarred face seemed to have a clearer look.
Others would deliver their son-in-law to their doorstep. The Fang family was so powerful that Fang Xiucai took his whole family all the way to the entrance of the village. If it didn't look too flattering, I would have wanted to take him to the town ferry.
At this time, a person came from outside the door. He walked in directly. Looking at his appearance, he looked like he was on official duty. He bowed and said, "Xining County Master is urgent for three hundred miles. Who is Mr. Fang Wenshu?"...
And Fang Xiucai also gave him something to do. The village where the chief officer of Xuanhumen was in need of a teacher, and he would teach twelve taels per month. Fang Xiucai happily accepted the offer and left his daughter-in-law to take care of the house. After all, his son needs money to study, so he can't always ask his married daughter for money. Even if the son-in-law will definitely help, as a scholar, he still needs backbone.
If you have a good husband, your chances of winning the election are much greater. And among the emperor's disciples who can enter the palace examination every year, more than three out of ten are from the Imperial College, which is like a preparatory class for entering the imperial court and becoming an official.
Then he took out a colorfully dyed chicken feather shuttlecock from his arms: "Bao'er, look what this is?"
"You don't have to be so tired in the future, just buy it from outside. You just need to take good care of the children and take care of the house." Wu Jue also rarely spoke of his own words.
"Did you do this?" Wu Jue gave the baby to the wet nurse and sat down to try on the shoes. The nanny wisely carried Baoer out.
Fang Qingqing lowered her head slightly
Head: "They are made according to your previous shoes. The clothes are being made, and the county boss said that only Tsing Yi will be worn at Xuanhumen."
Fang Xiucai was so happy that he almost burst into tears. He didn't expect that his unpromising daughter could be such a big help to his family.
One plaque contains the three characters "Xuanhumen" given by the late emperor. Unexpectedly, this plaque also has a line of small characters engraved next to it: "In case of unexpected events, I will be located in Zhaokang". On the first day when the plaque was hung, everyone gathered to watch. There were three floors inside and three floors outside, just like when the plaque was announced.
After putting it on and standing up, Wu Jue was a little surprised: "Just right."
This smile made Fang Qingqing amused, and she turned around to get a pair of shoes: "Give Bao'er to the nanny and try."
The date of the wedding was set, and it was argued that the head of Xining County could not leave the capital, so Fang Qingqing would get married in the capital instead of returning to her hometown. The Fang family arrived in Beijing three days in advance. As the elder brother, Fang Xiaoxiucai went to Yueyang Academy immediately after seeing off the bride. Study the previous year and take the provincial examination next year. If you pass the imperial examination, you will immediately go to Yingtian Academy to study and prepare for the imperial examination three years later.
Seeing Wu Jue, Fang Qingqing's hand holding the needle almost missed the other hand. She put it down and stood back up and said awkwardly: "The county boss has gone on a medical visit and said that the charcoal fire here is burning, don't waste it. Let me and the wet nurse come over..."
Next to this plaque, the slightly smaller one reads: "County Lord's Mansion".
Don't say it, this behavior is like telling the world that Zhao Kang's position is the late emperor's decree, he can act righteously and sit firmly.
Wu Jue felt that what the junior sister said was right. If someone didn't have a child, then he would be good to the child. Otherwise, what would he do for him?
"Oh~" He walked straight to the child, took the child from the wet nurse, and cushioned it: "It's quite heavy."
Fang Xiaoxiucai bowed and was very satisfied with his brother-in-law: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will study hard. Not only will I pass the exam, but I will also be named on the gold medal list in three years, so that the Fang and Wu families will be honored together."
When Wu Jue returned to the Jingcheng County Lord's Mansion, a plaque had been hung on the door. Others hang one plaque, but this family has two plaques hanging in the middle.
This is not the same as this, but this kind of coquettish operation is very similar to that of a junior sister.
Now all the elders of the Fang family couldn't sit still and congratulated each other, their hearts filled with envy and jealousy. Everyone wants a son-in-law who comes to their door like this.
Wu Jue bowed and said, "What my father-in-law said is different. Miss Fang has a beautiful heart, a beautiful appearance and a smart mind. If she has quarrels, it is my fault. It is my fate and blessing to have such a talented daughter as my wife."
Next to the lantern, one side hangs "Xuan" and the other side hangs "Xi". That's not all. There is a "Huoyun Villa Temporary Branch" erected on the left wall.
"You clean up a little, and we will take Bao'er to Yuhua House for dinner. The egg custard there is said to be like curdled fat, topped with lard and scallion oil, and the aroma is fragrant."
"Okay." Fang Qingqing nodded and watched Wu Jue walk out.
After she got into the carriage with her child in her arms, she opened the curtain and looked outside. In addition to the prosperity of the capital, there was also a figure riding a horse beside her. She felt extremely relieved and silently vowed that as long as she was good to Bao'er and her in the future, she would be twice as good to this man.
Xining was at the mansion of Duke Zhen Guo. A few years ago, Duke Zhen Guo's eldest son accompanied him to kill enemies at the border. He fell from his horse and broke his leg bone. After he recovered, he became lame. 39314693.
