According to legend, the new top scholar's parade on horseback was started during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty. Because the top scholar Cai Qi was outstanding in talent and handsome, he was handsome and handsome. Emperor Zhenzong liked it too much and couldn't help but want to show off, so he gave him a guard of the horse, and asked him to parade on horseback with a brocade robe and flowers. The whole city caused a sensation, and the new Jinshi was parade on horseback.

In the Ming Dynasty, the so-called parading on horseback was actually after the Golden Palace sang the title. Under the guidance of drums and music, officials of the Ministry of Rites hung the imperial list at the left gate of Chang'an. The top scholar led the Jinshi to pass through Taihe Gate, Meridian Gate, Duan Gate, Chengtian Gate, and until the left gate of Chang'an, and then the Shuntian Prefecture Ordination arranged flowers for the top scholar, wore red silk, and sent the top scholar back to the top scholar with an umbrella cover to show the "magnificent grace".

In the third year of Zhengde, the overall characteristics of this Jinshi are that the average age is relatively young and the average appearance is relatively high.

Especially in Sandingjia, the 19th year of the year of the sect, the Hualang of the Hualang is completely like a banished immortal. The top scholar who just reached the top is also a rare beauty. Compared with such a prosperous beauty, the second-class appearance is slightly inferior, but it is also the standard appearance of a gentleman with thick eyebrows and big eyes. If you are in the crowd, you will always say that you are good-looking, and he is only twenty-nine years old.

The characteristic of this emperor is that he loves lively.

With such a group of dazzling young talents, how can the little emperor who is already out of the fun of the fun and can stand by his temperament and not show off?!

The first prize winner who was given to the top scorer on the 18th day was not counted. On the 19th, the Enrong Banquet was moved directly to Xiyuan and insisted on holding another grand parade in Xiyuan.

In order to expand the economic benefits of Xiyuan Scenic Area, the wind was released early, indicating that in addition to the umbrella cover, there were drums, music, sheng, flute, brocade clothes and colorful flags, and the top ranks and horses as the leader. All the remaining two, three, and Jinshi were reincarnated together and walked slowly so that the people could see enough.

This event will be the largest event in Xiyuan before the Dragon Boat Festival after Shangsi.

Since the Golden Palace sang the title and the top scholar paraded the streets, the people of the capital have heard that this new Jinshi is particularly handsome, and there was a story about "catching son-in-law under the list" in Xiyuan. I heard that several "son-in-law" who were captured on Shangsi Festival are also listed.

The top scholar looked at it in a hurry when parading the streets. After having many details of gossip, the people were more willing to go to Xiyuan and compare the gossip and take a closer look.

In addition to being promoted to Xiaomin, some "noble people" are also concerned about it. They missed the capture of son-in-law under the Xiyuan list, or were hesitant. Now the imperial list has been posted, and it just happened to catch a Jinshi son-in-law and go back.

Princess Chun'an also publicly stated that she would come to see the parade, saying that it was not because her grandson-in-law was also among them, but because there were many talents in the Ming Dynasty. How can you not watch such a prosperous era?

He also said that he would bring his daughter-in-law to come and let him know that he should urge his husband and his descendants to study and improve, and he would have such glory in the future and shine on his family.

With these words in front of us, many wives who were already tempted to watch the fun happened to be celebrating their children and bring their families to parade.

Therefore, on the 19th day, there are really crowds of people, which is a little more lively than the Lantern Festival.

The seats in restaurants and tea shops in Xiyuan were booked early. It is said that there are private rooms in private places such as Hufenglou and Huanxisha on the black market. It is said that the prices have increased by more than ten times, and the supply is still in short supply.

What shocked Shen Rui was that the biggest promoter was His Majesty the Little Emperor himself. Brother Shou also specially asked Hufenglou to suppress a batch of private rooms and stocked up several restaurants, which pushed up the price before releasing it, making a lot of money.

In fact, the little emperor was not short of this money. He had to go out with just one less hunting. He just liked the feeling of making money like this.

Each of these large-scale festivals in Xiyuan made Shou Ge not only enjoy the fun, but also made a lot of money to buy and sell it himself, but it was really only a fraction of the money. The big one was still in the tax revenue of various merchants.

When Shou Ge proudly mentioned it to Shen Rui, Shen Rui was really amused and crying, but he also sighed in his heart that the little emperor really should not be born in the imperial family, and it has delayed such a business genius.

*

On March 19th, many wealthy families set off early.

Although the main road of Xiyuan is wide, all four carriages can be used in parallel, and there are more than meter of corridors on both sides for pedestrians, who knows how many people will be there this day? If you go late, there are too many pedestrians, you are afraid that the carriages will not be squeezed in.

In the elegant room with a great perspective in Huanxisha, Zhao Tong sat by the window, looking at the carriage and horses downstairs, eating sour plums, and teasing Yang Tian with a smile, "Oh, you have to be blessed by your boss lady, otherwise you would have to buy such a good land for a lot of money!"

Yang Tian spat lightly and said, "It's all about being a mother, so you won't have a good reputation!"

She said and looked at Zhao Tong's slightly raised belly with some concern, and said, "You are really the one who ran out after you have sat firmly. Look at the crowds of people outside, and it's bumping again, and it's a fetal aura..."

Zhao Tong waved his hand and smiled, "Oh, don't worry, I have been practicing martial arts for many years and have a strong body. When my mother gave birth to our brothers and sisters, she could still punch and carry stone locks while pregnant. It's really okay. I was stuck in the house for the past three months, but I was so tired of holding me back."

After a pause, he said to Yang Tian seriously: "Don't think I'm noisy, don't throw away the fists and feet that the Lu family's wife taught you. It's better to practice your little body. You will get married next month and have a child soon..."

Yang Tian's face was flushed with shame, and he hurriedly covered his ears and said, "You are talking nonsense again, I will ignore you..."

Zhao Tong smiled and said, "I will be my new wife next month, and I will be so embarrassed." He then took her hand and said, "We are the two of us here, so we are so embarrassed. I'm just saying good things seriously. Forget it, don't turn your face and ignore me. It's rare for me to come out. I've just got sleepy in the car and didn't say a few words. Let's talk carefully now. Are you still coughing in the spring?"

Yang Tian frowned and then turned around. Seeing her teasing smile on her face, she couldn't help but spat softly and said, "Look at your smirk, you don't have to speak well!"

But he still smiled and replied seriously: "It's hard to bear in winter, and it's better to be warmer in spring. It's a little breathing when it's cloudy, and it's no problem when it's sunny. It's much better than this time last year." He said: "Actually, I'm practicing boxing, but I'm just busy with housework. Sometimes I can't help but slack off. I'll start practicing again when I look back."

Zhao Tong nodded and said, "This is younger every year, and it's better to see. It's said that winter diseases are treated in summer. When the beginning of summer, you can apply the ginger juice recipe to your back, and it will be easy next year." He smiled and said, "This Guizhi mother, there is no way to buy the local recipes in the market, which are really effective."

Yang Tian smiled and said, "Yes, it's a blessing for her."

Zhao Tong threw another plum and said, "Your sour plum stains are really good. I will pack a pack for my sister-in-law when I look back."

Yang Tian hurriedly instructed the eldest maid Banxia to find the shopkeeper. In addition to packing more plums, he asked if it was bought outside or made by his own. If it was his own thing, he copied the prescription.

When Banxia went out, Zhao Tong smiled so hard that her branches trembled, saying, "Before this, I have made this boss lady so generously, and I will give it to others at will?"

Yang Tian stomped her feet with shame, "If you talk like this, I'll leave!"

Zhao Tong hurried over and pulled Yang Tian over, smiled and apologized, "Okay, okay, mine is not. I won't joke about you anymore, let me spare me this time!" He smiled and bowed like a man, "I thanked you for your prescription for my sister-in-law!"

Yang Tian was not really angry with her, but was embarrassed, and snorted lightly with a red face. Finally, he couldn't help asking: "Sister-in-law's appetite is not better yet?"

Zhao Tong sighed and said, "No. Who knows what happened to her? I have only been two or three months old and I have been having a bad appetite and vomiting from time to time. Now I am four months old, and I can eat and sleep without delaying anything. She is almost nine months old, and she is still vomiting when she sees giving birth."

Yang Tian also sighed. Guizhi's mother, who was beside her, was the most familiar with women because she was a stable woman. The wife of the British grandson, You, had a long time to get up, and Yang Tian also asked Guizhi's mother to write a prescription for anti-emesis and sent it, but it was not effective.

Guizhi's mother also told Yang Tian that women have different pregnancy reactions. Usually, they will suffer from morning sickness when they are unstable in the first three months, and they will get better after three months, just like Zhao Tong now. But it is indeed true that they vomit from beginning to end like You, which is not very rare.

If it is a poor family, this will be troublesome. In the end, the mother will lose her energy and will be more dangerous when giving birth. If she doesn’t eat, the child will easily be unable to grow up. If she loses her fetus, she will always be worse if she gives birth.

Fortunately, there are always many food supplements for wealthy families like the Duke of England that can be taken to You.

"Sister-in-law is such a weak person... she should also advise her to eat some." Yang Tian was really worried for You.

When she was with Yu, she met You several times. The noble daughter of the Prince Consort's Mansion and the grandson of the Duke's Mansion were not arrogant at all. She was gentle and treated very well with others. Because of the relationship between Zhang Hui and his wife, and her younger brother Youxuan, who was a compatriot, she also had a good relationship with Shen Rui, so she treated Yang Tian very much.

"Well, don't worry, my sister-in-law, looking at her weak appearance, she is extremely strong inside. She often says that she should eat more for the sake of her children. She has just vomited completely, and she can still hold back her food that she doesn't like in her mouth." Zhao Tong sighed deeply again, "I am not as good as her in this regard. I was so angry that I was so angry that I couldn't drink a sip of water."

Both of them sighed together, and for a moment of silence, Zhao Tong whispered again: "You know the situation in our mansion, too. Thanks for her being so strong. I couldn't help her a while ago. Originally, the old lady could still help her, but later the old lady was sick, so she was the only one who gritted her teeth and held it down... Fortunately, I didn't vomit like her. Now I'm going to be fine. I'll hold on for her in the past two months and come back to take over after giving birth."

Yang Tian shook Zhao Tong's hand silently and said, "You should take care of yourself."

Zhao Tong held her tightly, but only smiled bitterly.

British Duke Zhang Mao had a few children and concubines, and seven sons of legitimate and illegitimate sons. The prince died early and although he was granted a grandson, he lost his father because his grandson was young, and an adult uncle was inevitably staring at the title.

After the death of his original wife Wang (Zhang Lun and Zhang Hui's biological grandmother), Zhang Mao returned to Xu.

This wife of Xu has nothing to do. She is old and always has to rely on the other side.

Looking at the mansion, the concubines of the concubines were still alive, and these old concubines were not easy to meet, so she didn't want to make wedding dresses with others. The second son of the legitimate son Zhang Gang relied on his original wife and had no respect for her. Moreover, his ruthless personality was also an unfamiliar person.

In the end, Mrs. Xu chose the grandson.

After the grandson became married, Mrs. Xu took You by her side and taught her to steward her, and gradually handed over all the gifts from the Duke's mansion to her.

You are also a clear-cut person, so he naturally knows what to repay Mrs. Xu. The two of them are very good at getting along.

After You was pregnant, Zhang Gang's wife jumped out and said she could help the housekeeper. Not to mention that You refused, even Mrs. Xu would not give in. Mrs. Xu, who had already gradually retired, came out again and took Zhao Tong to support everything in the family.

Even if his second wife is also a serious wife, his wife naturally dare not say anything.

On the twelfth lunar month, Zhao Tong was also diagnosed with pregnancy. Although she was practicing her family's health, she was also sad when she caught up with morning sickness and was completely unable to manage the director.

To make matters worse, at the end of the year, Mrs. Xu suddenly suffered from a cold and could not afford to get sick. The housekeeper could not handle the matter.

The mansion was immediately filled with people's hearts, and many aunts and sisters-in-law were ready to move. During the New Year, there were so many sarcastic words that lit up You.

How did You not know their ambitions and how could she give them family affairs? It was not enough to cause trouble. At that time, her fertility was stable, so she didn't say anything and didn't need anyone, and she stood up to take care of her family alone.

She is a strong and capable person, but as the months get older, she is heavy and has a lot of morning sickness, and she is still unable to do anything. Fortunately, Zhao Tong has been three months old and has passed her morning sickness and can come out to help.

"I just hope that the old lady will get better soon." Zhao Tong sighed. She had the ability of the housekeeper, but she was impatient, and she even disliked the faces of those uncles and aunts who were born.

Yang Tian pondered for a moment and finally said, "Although this is abrupt,...Sister Six, do you think you want Guizhi's mother to go back with you to fight Xue's mother?"

This mother Xue is Zhao Tong's dowry mother, who is specifically responsible for Zhao Tong's diet and medicine to regulate her body.

Generally speaking, wealthy families will not use servants recommended by others, especially those who touch their hands, diet, fragrance, medicine, etc., and those who keep etiquette will not recommend such servants to others, so as not to get involved in the right and wrong of the inner house and be confused.

Yang Tian and Zhao Tong are already getting along like legitimate sisters. Yang Tian was sick and was also recommended by Zhao Tong to take care of the pregnant woman. This time, it is not rude to recommend Guizhi's mother, who is a stable woman, to take care of her pregnant woman. Moreover, she really hopes that Zhao Tong is well.

Zhao Tong's eyes were slightly red. She held Yang Tian's hand and calmed down for a while and said, "I know you treat me well, don't worry, yes, I can't use it for the time being."

She paused and said as if she was changing the subject: "My silly girl, I just think about others. You are about to get married. It's the time to get a good care of it. On the day of getting married..." She covered her mouth and smiled, whispered in Yang Tian's ear.

Yang Tian's face was so ashamed that she suddenly became red and she got up and wanted to leave.

Zhao Tong pretended to be "Ouch". Yang Tian was worried about her body, so he quickly turned around and asked her about it. Seeing her smiling like a flower, she knew she was deceived and became more and more embarrassed.

Zhao Tong pulled her and said, "Good sister, good sister, don't be bothered or annoyed. Although they are teasing you, they are the truth. I appreciate your kindness. If there is a need, I will come to you to borrow someone. But you must also listen to Guizhi's mother and be able to give birth to it..."

Yang Tian was neither embarrassed nor annoyed, and she snorted helplessly.

Suddenly someone knocked outside the door, but Banxia came up. He reported to the shopkeeper who sent two small jars of sour plums to the carriage of the Duke's Mansion. He handed it on the prescription and said, "Our wife and the in-laws are here together."

Upon hearing this, Yang Tian and Zhao Tong quickly stood up to greet him.

However, Zhao Tong was detained at home for the first three months and never came to find Yang Tian. She had a lot of things to talk about, and the pregnant woman was even more afraid of the crowd, so she posted a post the day before, wanting to ask Yang Tian to go early.

Yu naturally responded. Zhao Tong's car came to pick him up and asked Yang Tian to go first. She and Yang Shen's wife Wang Yan settled all the things at home this day, and then took her second sister Yang Yue and three illegitimate boys out. They met with Shen Rui's mother Xu and other Shen family members, and came to Xiyuan together.

Today, the feast of the loving banquet was also given by the examiners. Yang Tinghe was not there, so the male members of the Yang family followed Shen Zhou and Shen Run. The female family came up to the stairs, and Zhao Tong and Yang Tian went up to pay their respects.

Xu and Zhao Tong were also familiar with each other. They asked her how good she was. They smiled and said, "You young girls should look at each other in a private room, so as not to be restrained in front of the elders and not have enough fun. There is still a room next to Brother Rui, and we have made an appointment with a few ladies and go there."

Zhao Tong was the most clever one, so she smiled and said with the first smile: "My uncle is kind, but we juniors are supposed to serve the elders."

Xu waved his hand lovingly and said with a smile: "All maids and servants can be used to serve you anywhere. Let's go, let's go."

Yu also smiled and pushed his daughter-in-law Wang Yan and said, "You can go too. It's all loose and loose today."

Wang Yan and others all responded with a smile. Sister Sui Yu, He, Zhang Qingbai and other juniors were all here, and the elders and female relatives of Xu and Yu were all heading to the private room next to them.

Zhao Tong gently pushed Yang Tian, ​​pursed her lips and said to Yang Tian, ​​"You are blessed to meet such an enlightened mother-in-law. However, I guess, the idea of ​​these two gentlemen must be from Shen Er."
