"Back to Auntie, my carriage is in front. When we walked here, we saw flowers and butterflies nearby. My mother and brother saw that there was no one around. Chayin and I were very interested, so they asked us to come down and have a look. I didn’t expect it…”
Qin Xuanyi smiled, showing a little embarrassment, and pointed lightly over there, referring to the sudden appearance of His Highness the Second Prince of the East Palace.
"Oh, that's it," Mrs. Shen nodded knowingly after hearing the words, then looked at the little girl holding Chayin's milk bag next to her. She chuckled and knelt down and said hello to the baby, "This is It’s your Highness Yinyin, Your Highness Di Ji.”
Xiao Chayin looked at this kind aunt, her dimples dimpled sweetly, and she responded with a sweet voice, "I'm Yinyin! Hello Aunt Shen!"
Mrs. Shen looked at the pink and waxy elf baby, smiled and said hello, and couldn't help hugging the cute little baby. Then she stood up and said to Qin Xuanyi, "Xuanyi, please take the sisters and wait here first." I’ll go over and have a look in a moment.”
Qin Xuanyi knew that Mrs. Shen had come in a hurry and must have come to help her family out of the siege.
The Qin and Fu families are family friends. The old man and uncle of the Fu family are known to be honest and upright. They have always been lonely in the court, and they only have some friendship with Duke Xiang. The head matron of the Fu family, Mrs. Shen, and Mrs. Xiangguo have known each other since childhood, so the relationship between the two families is very close.
"Then I'll take care of Aunt Shen. Thank you very much, Aunt Shen." Qin Xuanyi gratefully blessed Mrs. Shen.
Mrs. Shen waved her hand, said "it's not important", and then led the maid in the house to the direction pointed by Qin Xuanyi.
After a while, Mrs. Shen's intellectual and gentle voice sounded over there.
After a moment, Yuan Ning, who was staring at the movement over there, said, "The Second Highness of the East Palace is gone."
Seeing that there were no outsiders, Yuedie became bolder and spat and cursed,
"No matter how shameless he is, what more can he say even though Mrs. Shen is here? He can't continue to threaten our son and his wife in front of Mrs. Fu, right? That's really shameless!"
Qin Xuanyi frowned slightly and said to the maid in annoyance, "Okay Yue Die, stop talking."
Yue Die saw his girl's disgusted look and immediately realized that he had accidentally disgusted his girl. Didn't the people in the East Palace have no shame at all? How could you be more shameless?
"Okay, girl, don't be angry, I will never mention them again!" Yuedie held the little girl's arm distressedly.
Qin Xuanyi forced a smile, patted the silly little maid's hand, looked up at Yuan Ning, and introduced her thoughtfully,
"Sister Yuan Ning, the lady just now is the head matron of Taishi Fu's family. Taishi Fu is a great scholar. Although he is old and has been an official for many years, he has many disciples and is quite prestigious in the capital. Uncle Fu's uncle is also the official of the Ministry of Personnel. , I have always been on good terms with my father, and my family and the Fu family can be considered family friends."
In the Dayi Dynasty, although "Grand Master" had no real power, it was the highest honorary title for all officials. Grand Master Fu entered the official position as "Grand Master" and was entitled to enjoy the Imperial Ancestral Temple and his status was respected.
The minister of the Ministry of Personnel appointed by his son is even known as the "Heavenly Official". He is in charge of hundreds of officials, manages the relocation and relegation, determines the imperial examinations, is a powerful official, and is the pillar of the imperial court.
Qin Xuanyi's few words had already made Yuan Ning understand the Fu family's status in the capital.
Yuan Ning looked at the caring little girl in front of her and nodded knowingly. At this moment, she suddenly remembered, "Is this Mrs. Fu the examiner appointed by the Emperor to take charge of this year's Imperial College examination a few days ago?" ?”
The Guoziyuan was the Central Academy under the imperial court, and the lecturers in it were all Hanlin Academy members and some great Confucian scholars who had reached official positions in their old age.
Being able to enter the Imperial College can be said to have already entered the official career with half a foot. He only needs to be nominated for the Golden List in the next spring, and then he can become an official in the court. Moreover, if you study in Guoziyuan, you can make good friends in advance, gain attention and be appreciated by others.
The civil servants of the DPRK and the Central Government would pay attention to the Confucian students who were admitted to the Imperial College every year, promote and appreciate them, and support one or two. Because successful candidates from all over the country could take the exam, the Imperial College exam was almost equivalent to the preliminary exam for the National Examination. There were so many candidates, and the imperial court paid great attention to it.
But this is a matter for scholars. Qin Xuanyi was surprised that Yuan Ning would care about this. She looked at Yuan Ning in surprise, "Yeah, why would sister Yuan Ning care about this? Someone whom sister Yuan Ning knows is going to participate in the national competition. Is it the entrance examination for the ziyuan?"
