When Feng Ziying woke up, she almost swore never to drink again.
In the past twenty days, he had a drink almost every three to five days, which almost made up for what he had missed while studying in the past two years. Not to mention rice wine, he couldn't stand it.
He smelled of alcohol, and he said that he had taken a bath last night, but before the water could heat up, he fell into a deep sleep. Even though Yun Shang was pulling hard at the side, he couldn't pull Feng Ziying up, so he could only Give up.
After taking a shower, Feng Ziying felt refreshed and refreshed while sitting in front of the hall. Feng Ziying could finally calm down.
Today is the day when the results will be announced. Whether they succeed or not, there will be a result.
Taking a deep breath, she picked up the tea soup with the right water temperature and took a big sip. This was the tea that Yun Shang had made for herself when she got up in the morning and took a shower. After this sip of tea soup, the whole thing felt a little dry. My stomach and intestines immediately relaxed, and a warm feeling filled my entire body.
Yun Shang was particularly happy when she saw Feng Ziying's relaxed face. Over the years, she had become more and more familiar with the young master's habits, making Feng Ziying increasingly inseparable from her.
It's just that Yun Shang is alone, and sometimes he is really busy. His mother has asked him to arrange for one or two more people to come to his room. The four maids, Ming Huan, Ming Zhu, Ming Lang, and Ming Long, are all chosen by his mother. The maid who was carefully selected was also clearly informed to Feng Ziying that it was up to him to choose.
Feng Ziying naturally understands her mother's intention, which is to let people into her house. In the future, I am afraid that she will first be a maid for the intercourse. If she can give birth to a boy and a half girl, then she can directly carry a concubine.
To be honest, Feng Ziying felt that my mother's aesthetic sense was still somewhat inconsistent with his own. In terms of beauty, Ming Huan and other maids would definitely not be as good as Yun Shang in his eyes. The standards of a maid.
Each of these names was chosen very well. It is said that they were chosen by a Tong Sheng who made a living by selling literature. They spent ten taels of silver on them, but they were not to Feng Ziying's liking.
It is said that marrying a virtuous wife and taking concubines means that you want to let people into your house. Even the girls and concubines prepared for you are not even remotely beautiful, so the girls and concubines you have prepared for your house. What's the use?
Look at Ping'er in Jia Lian's room, Xi Ren in Jia Baoyu's room, Qingwen and Feng Ziying who haven't seen her yet, the Xiangling bought by Xue Pan, and even the Zicuckoo next to Lin Yatou, and Which of the Ying'er's beside Xue Baochai is not graceful and naturally beautiful?
Why did they arrive at their own home? These four girls, Huan, Zhu, Lang, and Long, were certainly not ordinary, but when it came to how beautiful they were, they really couldn't be described. At least they were a bit worse than Yun Shang.
So Feng Ziying simply refused my mother's arrangement. According to my aunt, this made my mother very unhappy, and she felt that she had rejected her kindness. These four girls were all trained by her, and they were all suitable for serving people. But for Feng Ziying, it is not suitable for her.
Feng Ziying has never thought about being a saint and marrying only one wife. Even a saint would not ask for only one wife. What's more, the current situation of the Feng family and the current social atmosphere will not allow marrying only one wife.
Rich families often have wives and concubines, and some are even more particular about distinguishing concubines and concubines. This situation is exemplified by the Feng family.
After breakfast, it was not long before the results were released.
Thinking about the more than 4,000 people, and even more than these 4,000 people, many of them brought their family and friends to watch the list. You can imagine how many people there would be at the place where the list was released outside the dragon gate of the Gongyuan.
According to Feng Ziying's wishes, she just sits at home and waits for someone to take a look. Moreover, there are naturally countless list-readers in the capital city who are familiar with the students' situation. They have already taken a look at some of the characters they are optimistic about. Once confirmed, they will fly immediately. Go to the dormitories of these students and make a fuss about the good news first. When the time comes, regardless of your family members, children, and servants left behind, or if you come back later, a piece of wedding money will be indispensable.
However, the students from the academy all live in the Hongsheng Inn, which is also a good sign. In addition, if they really want to send the people who are waiting for the results to go to the academy dozens of miles away, it will delay the time and make it difficult for the students to go home. endure.
"Has Uncle Liu gotten up yet?" Feng Ziying asked casually.
Liu Xianglian came back from her trip last night. After meeting, there was inevitably a drink, so Feng Ziying simply called Han Qi and Wei Ruolan together.
The Liu family can be considered an aristocratic family, and the Liu family of Heli Guogong can be regarded as a descendant, but it is just a side branch. After six or seventy years, the relationship has become somewhat distant, but the Liu family and the Feng family of this side branch are There is still some friendship in this generation.
Feng Tang and Liu Xianglian's father had grown up together since childhood, and their relationship was relatively familiar. However, the Liu family had long been in decline. The relationship between Liu Xianglian and Li Guogong's Liu family was similar to the relationship between Jia Yun and the Jia family.
Liu Xianglian's father and mother both passed away early, but this guy had some ambitions since he was a child. He practiced martial arts after failing to study. At the age of twelve, he dared to kill with a sword. At the age of thirteen, he followed his master, one in Pingliang, Gansu and one in Kong. Dong Laodao, we traveled all over the world together and came to Datong.
When the Feng family returned to the capital from Datong, Liu Xianglian had been traveling with her master. It was only a few days ago that her master left the mountain and returned to the capital.
In terms of age, Liu Xianglian is more than two years older than Feng Ziying, and is already over sixteen.
"Master, Uncle Liu got up early in the morning and practiced swordplay in the courtyard of the mansion, which made Sister Minghuan hide and watch." Yun Shang covered her mouth and laughed softly.
"Oh? Is this guy going to attract bees and butterflies again?" Feng Ziying shook her head.
This Liu Xianglian's "beauty" is really for both young and old. They see her every three years. Feng Ziying was dazzled when she saw her the day before yesterday.
Dressed in martial arts attire, he has a heroic figure, and is masculine but also feminine. He really "feels pity for me". A man like Jia Lian would probably be "heart-thumping". It's a pity that Feng Ziying is a real straight man. On the contrary, he is not used to this kind of man who is so handsome that he is almost charming.
"Why did the young master say that to Uncle Liu?" Yun Shang spat, "Uncle Liu said that this is a habit he has developed. He needs to practice boxing and sword every morning without stopping."
"Yun Shang, why don't you go and see it? Uncle Liu's fist and sword are much more powerful than the young master's."
Feng Ziying also maintained daily exercise in the academy, but in terms of basic skills, he could not compare with Liu Xianglian. Instead, he used the murderous martial arts skills that he had honed in life-and-death fights in the military to strengthen his body. .
"Master, do you want Yun Shang to go and see it?" Yun Shang bit her lip and asked, her eyes becoming serious.
This question made Feng Ziying stunned. He looked at Yun Shang and then laughed, "Hey, Xiao Yunshang actually dared to have a quarrel with the young master? Well, of course I don't like it. What about Yun Shang?"
"Yun Shang doesn't want to either." Yun Shang also laughed, "Besides, Yun Shang doesn't like Uncle Liu like that. Well, they say that Uncle Liu is a boy and girl, and he will be rich all his life..."
Feng Ziying laughed dumbly.
Liu Xianglian, whether in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions" or in this life, does not seem to have a destiny of wealth and honor. Instead, she was forced to escape into Buddhism, and some say she became a strong beam. I don't know how this destiny of wealth and honor can be connected with Qiang Liang and Buddhism.
"Yun Shang, you have to earn and strive for wealth in this life with your own hands. If you rely on your face or the shadow of your ancestors and other illusions to dream about wealth in your life, then you really have no guarantee that you will become a strong leader in the future, or you will be living in the fireworks. Alley."
Yun Shang couldn't understand what Feng Ziying said, and Feng Ziying didn't bother to explain. No one would understand or believe it.
After greeting Liu Xianglian who had finished washing, they had breakfast together, and then they went to Gongyuan Longmen to look at the list.
There are still two or three miles away from Gongyuan, and there are already huge crowds of people.
Feng Ziying had already made an appointment with Fan Jingwen and the others at a meeting place. Considering that there were too many people watching the list, she deliberately chose to meet at the edge of the Mingzhifang grassland, which was still some distance away from Gongyuan.
But even so, this area is still crowded with people. Going further east, past the Axe Division Camp, is the Gongyuan.
Seeing that all her classmates were already waiting here, Feng Ziying stepped forward to say hello to Fan Jingwen and introduced herself, Liu Xianglian, to the others.
Liu Xianglian's appearance really shocked all the classmates. After all, such handsome men are rare, and the appearance of men and women is also a trend in aesthetics at this time.
Liu Xianglian was obviously still a little uncomfortable with Feng Ziying's current life, especially after seeing more than a dozen students from Qingtan Academy, she felt a little uncomfortable, so she stood for a while and took the initiative to leave, saying that whether she passed the exam or not, she If you pass the exam, you have to tell him, and if you pass the exam, you have to come and ask for a drink.
At this moment, the group of people finally removed the thorns and unlocked the door, officially declaring the end of the 20-day lockup, and the Chinese list for the Autumn Palace Competition of the Shuntian Prefecture Gongyuan in Beizhili was about to be officially announced.
When the yellow lists started to be posted one after another, the crowd crowded in front of the screen wall began to get excited. The names on these yellow lists will determine the fate of more than 4,000 candidates, and only one of them will be lucky. One hundred and fifty-five.
"It's out, it's out! Jieyuan, Jieyuan!" Amidst the cheers, countless people cried bitterly, or shouted and screamed, and the real voice of shouting their names was suppressed, making Feng Ziying, who was far behind, unable to approach. , Fan Jingwen and others couldn't hear it.
"Brother Mengzhang, are you nervous? Who is this Lord Jieyuanshe of Shuntian Mansion?" Feng Ziying asked with a smile.
The crowd was surging around them, squeezing them here and there. They could only pull closer to each other to prevent being squeezed apart. There were also several students who had already been impatient and had rushed into the crowd regardless of their own safety, struggling to move toward the photo. "Swim away" at the wall hanging list.
According to the usual practice, Shuntian Jieyuan can only take people from Northern Zhili. This is the right that the people of Northern Zhili have fought for for many years, because there are too many people from Northern Zhili who have registered as subjects, especially some southern scholars who have registered in Shuntian Prefecture. Therefore, in the subjects of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, those from the south almost monopolized Shuntian Prefecture’s Jieyuan. This also caused dissatisfaction among the candidates in Northern Zhili, and finally it was changed to Shuntian Prefecture’s Jieyuan. The local scholars of Northern Zhili will be selected, and those who have registered as nationals will not be accepted.
Fan Jingwen was about to be humble, but he didn't know how to say it.
Although people like Yang Sichang and the Hou brothers also have extraordinary literary talents, they are not from Beizhi, but are immigrants, so it is impossible for them to do so.
Under such circumstances, it would be a bit hypocritical to be modest anymore. He smiled, but before Fan Jingwen could speak, the voice on the other side had already shouted: "Jie Yuan, Fan Jingwen, student member of Hejian Prefecture, North Zhili!"
Feng Ziying's eyes lit up, while Fan Jingwen's face flushed. The students around him cheered and congratulated him one after another.
"Congratulations, Brother Mengzhang! Beizhili Jieyuan has returned to our Qingtan Academy!" Feng Ziying said what made Fan Jingwen the happiest, "This is our common glory!"
