Chapter 172

Princess Changle's marriage has finally been decided. The man is the new top scholar this year, and the second son of Kong Guangkun, the direct descendant of the Kong clan. This top scholar Kong has been famous since he was a young man. Unlike Bai Yizhi, he is a humble person. If his father had not wanted him to take the scientific examination, others would probably not have known that he had such talent.

The Kong clan has always been treated as a courtesy by the kings of various dynasties. In the early days of the founding of the Kang Dynasty, Yang Chengjian even invited the leader of the Kong clan to serve as an official, but was rejected. Many of the Kong clans looked down on Yang Chengjian who looked down on the ministers and planned to rule the king. Yang Chengjian also knew that after the imperial examination system was implemented, he asked the Kong clan members to serve as the Imperial College, but was rejected again. He was not annoyed and was still treated with the Kong clans with great courtesy. Perhaps the Kong clans did not want to have a too stiff relationship with the emperor, or as it was clearly said, moved by the saint's mind. In recent years, some Kong clans have successively served as officials and served as inconspicuous small officials in the court. They worked diligently, but had no further plans. Yang Chengjian also saw the trick and thought about marriage with the Kong clan.

After discussing, the Sun clan members agreed to this matter and selected the Ming and honest Kong Guangkun from the direct descendants, and asked him to participate in the imperial examination to prove his talent. When Yang Chengjian proposed to marry the Kong clan, he originally belonged to Kong Guangkun. During the palace examination, he also asked Princess Changle to look at Kong Guangkun behind the screen, and Princess Changle was also satisfied.

Kong Guangkun didn't know about this. He was not very happy when he was the top scholar in high school. He was not very interested in the officialdom, but he prefers to study literature and questions at home. He was worried that the emperor would arrange an overly heavy official position for him, so the order for marriage was given. The elders at home also told him that the clan had known and agreed to the marriage. He had no intention of observing the marriage, and he had decided to obey the arrangements of the clan. No matter whether the other party was a princess or someone else, he had no objection. He was the same age as the princess and was nineteen years old. The engagement was certain, so the two of them got together. The two of them naturally agreed to match each other. It happened that there was a very good day in November that year, and their wedding dates were also set.

Yang Chengjian discussed with the people of the Kong clan that the wedding was held at the Princess's Mansion, and Kong Guangkun would stay in Chang'an and live in Princess Changle in the Princess' Mansion. The people of the Kong clan had no objection and also told Kong Guangkun about this. Kong Guangkun could not bear the collection of books of the Kong clan in the ancestral hall of his hometown, and there was no other unwillingness. When Princess Changle heard about this, she specially left a yard for him to collect the academy when she was overhauling the Princess' Mansion, and asked him to discuss how to build the yard.

This was the first time Kong Guangkun and Princess Changle met officially. He didn't know that Princess Changle had seen him. But when the princess got off the imperial carriage, he saw that the princess was wearing a veil hat and was not as unrestrained as other women in Chang'an. He was already satisfied. The veil hat that Princess Changle wore was actually very light and could see her appearance if she looked closely. If she had other women, Kong Guangkun would naturally not do anything Meng Lang, but after all, he was also a young man with high energy. He couldn't resist secretly looking at him and wanting to know his future wife's appearance. After seeing it, he liked it even more.

Princess Changle has elegant manners, good conversation, and beautiful appearance. Even Kong Guangkun, who had never thought about men and women, was moved by it. Soon, it was said that the two of them were in love and were born in a couple in Chang'an City.

Zhuhua roughly knew Princess Changle's life and always sighed at her future life. With a curious heart, she went to secretly look at Kong Guangkun. She was a tall young master Duanfang, like a three-good student who received scholarships every year in his previous life. There were still many young ladies and wives at the bottom. Zhuhua felt that the women in Chang'an City were too open.

"I see that Mr. Kong is in the limelight now, and he is more than Mr. Bai." Zhuhua went to the Wuwei Gong Mansion and chatted.

"It's just a moment of freshness." Yin Xi smiled.

Kong Guangkun and Bai Yizhi are like people from two directions, one is an excellent class representative and the other is a rebellious young man. It is hard to tell who is more popular in Chang'an City.

Shortly after Zhuhua was full of moon, she took Tuantuan to Wugui Gong Mansion. She made a baby basket, and Tuantuan was put in the basket and carried around. Of course, the person she was carrying was not Zhuhua. After arriving at the mansion, Zhuhua lifted the curtain on the basket, revealing Tuantuan dressed up as bamboo shoots. Tuantuan, who had just woken up, showed a sweet smile to Wugui Gong who had met for the first time. After laughing, she fell asleep again.

"Tuantuan, don't sleep, your aunt is going to give you a gift." Zhuhua quipped with her little hand.

"You are a financial fan." Wu Weigong gave her a blank look, took off the jade pendant on her body and put it on Tuantuan, "I'll use it for her to be shocked."

Zhuhua remembers that this was a jade pendant worn by Wu Wei. It was a piece of topaz with green, with Pisces patterns on both sides, and the green pattern was just carved into lotus leaves. Zhuhua didn't know why this jade was, but only knew it was extremely expensive.

"The woman should give her some rewards to avoid breaking the jade when she is young."

"It's not worth it if you fall." As she said that, she teased her tender and white face.

Yin Xi saw Tuantuan wearing a very funny dress, so she asked, "This dress is what the princess thinks about herself. Is there anything else?"

Zhuhua heard the strings and knew the elegant meaning. She nodded to Yinxi and said, "There are many, let's talk in detail later."

Yinxi nodded immediately. She just liked Zhuhua and was smart and refreshing.

Wu Wei looked down on the two of them like this, as if they were too poor, and the mansion was not without money. Seeing that the child was asleep, she waved to them, "Farewell, let's talk about these disappointing things so that Tuantuan would not see you two of you as a tragic person."

"Isn't this impossible? Look at our cuteness, don't you want to change her beautiful clothes every day? Isn't this money just to earn my mother's hard work?" Zhuhua said seriously.

Yin Xi nodded in agreement and said to Wu Weigong: "Master, you are not in charge of your family and don't know how expensive your firewood and rice are."

"Go on the side." Wu Wei Gong didn't want to waste his saliva with the two of them, so he said impatiently.

The two looked at each other and went to the room next to discuss things. They woke up in the middle. Qiuchu, who was accompanying him, asked Zhuhua to feed her. After eating, she fell asleep again. Zhuhua went back to talk to Yinxi about making baby products.

"You fed the milk yourself, didn't you hire a nurse?" Yin Xi couldn't help asking.

"Isn't it to save money?" Zhuhua said helplessly, adding a sentence to Yinxi's calm gaze, "The daughters of our old Cheng family are all children fed by themselves."

"The daughter of your Cheng family is really frugal." Yin Xi joked. She has known Zhuhua for many years, but even though she now has changed from "Miss Cheng San" to "Princess", she will not be restrained and unable to let go when speaking.

"No, my daughter will do this in the future." Zhuhua said without changing her face.

After the two of them finalized the general matter, Zhuhua went back to Wu Weigong's main house. Seeing her clinging to her under Qiuyun's guidance, she couldn't help but smile. Yin Xi looked at her and found it strange. You should know that Wu Weigong doesn't like to hold children, and they always think they cry and quarrel at them at every turn. But Zhu Peanut's Tuan is a rare good child, and she is born with rare people. The most important thing is that she knows that she always smiles at Wu Weigong likes to recognize Wu Weigong.

Zhuhua discovered this after going a few times, and said to Wu Wei Gong jealously: "I don't know what the benefits of this child have, but I only know how to smile at you. She doesn't like to laugh at her at home. Her father teased her and she stared at her eyes like a fool. I said she loves to laugh at King Ping but doesn't believe it."

She was not exaggerating. After she found that Tuantuan could laugh, she told King Ping. King Ping was holding various toys to make her want to see her laugh, but she put on a very calm expression and stared at him with a little puzzled look, which made King Ping quite discouraged.

When Wu Wei heard her say this, she couldn't help laughing. Tuantuan saw her laughing and vomited bubbles. Although Zhuhua was so rare, she couldn't help but say a little flatterer in her heart.

Kong Guangkun, who has attracted much attention from his marriage to Princess Changle, just changed everyone's attention to Bai Yizhi. Jiang Erniang, in Bai Yizhi's family, had a miscarriage before Laba last year. He heard that it was because of the drunk Bai Yizhi who accidentally slipped into a miscarriage. Everyone thought that after this, Bai Yizhi would marry Jiang Erniang. After all, the two were no different from a serious couple. Unexpectedly, Bai Yizhi did not do this. He bought a house in the capital with his own door sign hanging, and let Jiang Erniang live in, but did not mention the words of getting married to Jiang Erniang.

Later, when someone asked him when he had a wedding banquet after drinking, he said that he had married his wife twice before, and he would not get married again in the future. Indeed, in Bai Yizhi's heart, his wife and children were all tired, and there were many people who agreed with his ideas, but they suffered from Jiang Erniang in his house and followed him without any fame. Some people met Jiang Erniang when they sent Bai Yizhi back to the house and asked her curiously.

"It is rare to be a confidant in life. If worldly agreements become a burden, what's the point if you don't?" she said lightly.

This statement made a large group of people envious of Bai Yizhi with a confidante like Jiang Erniang, but Zhuhua still held a reserved attitude. Even if she looked at modern gossip news, she didn't see many confidantes who really didn't seek fame and fortune and were dedicated to the man. However, now only Jiang Erniang is more eye-catching in the Jiang family girl in Beijing. After the separation of the eldest princess of Hengyang and the princess, Jiang Sanniang followed the eldest princess of Hengyang to the fiefdom with her, and she would not return to Beijing in the short term.

Shen Shisanniang, who was a bit of a holiday with Zhuhua, also entered the Qin Palace as a concubine when Zhuhua was in confinement, using the reason to exorcise evil spirits and save her life. Shen Shisanniang has been involved in evil twice in public and the marriage has been a little difficult. Obviously, she doesn't care about this, and she has had a close relationship with the King of Qin not long after. The King of Qin has already decided on the official concubine, and the wedding date is next year. Shen Shisanniang entered the palace as a concubine. He heard that the conscience of Qin also agreed. She couldn't bear to see the King of Qin's cousin being disturbed by evil spirits, so she agreed to let Shen Shisanniang become the King of Qin's concubine. The evil spirits dare not invade the royal family. Shen Shisanniang, who said to the public that she had been unable to sleep every night, had nothing to do when she entered the Qin Palace.

Zhuhua was also hilarious when she heard this. She really didn't think there were a few people in Chang'an City who believed this. Since she married into the Pingwang Mansion, the rumors of the Pingwang Mansion being haunted have faded. Even though she had used this to beat Shen Shisanniang, not many people in the city continued to say that there were evil ghosts in the Pingwang Mansion. Some people said that the ghosts had been conquered by her, King of Peace and Taoist Pili.

As for the fact that Shen Shisanniang was plagued by evil spirits, they believed it. After all, there was an unexpected death in the mansion in Shen Jiuniang. However, if the evil spirit had to be driven away by marrying into the royal family, they did not believe it. Even if the Shen family found some Taoist priests to help speak, they would still be half-believing. However, this matter was not widely spread. Only when someone asked about it, the Shen family used this reason to make excuses. When others heard that it was because of this, they did not ask again. As for whether they believed it or not, they had to say something else.

Both Jiang Erniang and Shen Shisanniang happened in February and March, which was the season for the scientific examination. After the scientific examination was over, Princess Changle and Kong Guangkun got engaged. Others were no longer curious about the old things, and only stared at the Kong Guangkun, who was not famous in Beijing. They wanted to know what kind of person they were, and they actually married the jewel of the emperor's hand.

However, there are many people who are concerned about the places where the new Jinshi were new, and Xu Mu also paid attention to this. He worked as a clerk in the Ministry of Works for two years, and wanted to go further so that Yinhua would not be able to raise her head among her sisters. As usual, he could indeed go up from an eighth-rank official to a formal seventh-rank official. However, after he stayed in the Ministry of Works for a long time, he wanted to go to another department, but this would bother the elders and make him embarrassed to speak.

One day, at a party at home, King Ping took the initiative to ask him about this. He had been able to talk to King Ping for a long time, but he said he wanted to change the place and King Ping also felt that he had to move.

"If you want to stay in Chang'an in the future, it is not enough to understand that the work department is not enough. It is clearer than other places, and your second brother-in-law is younger, so you still have to go to other places to see it."

Qin San, who heard the two of them talking, thought it was right, but since Xu Mu spoke to King Ping, he did not join in again. After half a month, Xu Mu was transferred to the Ministry of Justice and became a seventh-grade master.

The Xu family and Qin Mansion are close to each other, and the two families often have dinner together. After Qin San found out, he also saw the opportunity to tell Xu Mu: "Now King Ji is in the Ministry of Justice, and someone is there to take care of you. It is also the place where you can understand human feelings best. If you learn more, you will know that this is the way we move to Chang'an. It is precisely because of this that the friendship between our families seems to be valuable."

Xu Mu nodded and thanked Qin San. Qin San was not actually saying it to Xu Mu. Xu Mu has always been a wise man. He was afraid that Yinhua would complain about Xu Mu not rising too quickly. In fact, Yinhua did not. Anyway, she had the identity of a Miss Hou Mansion, so no one dared to provoke her. Instead, she hoped that Xu Mu would continue to be a small official over the years, so as not to develop his parents in his family would come to Beijing.

However, before Xu Mu was officially transferred, there was a free time between him, so Yinhua took the initiative to tell him to go back to his hometown with him, and Xu Mu naturally agreed. The family took Xiao Laohu on the road for more than ten days and finally arrived at their hometown. Yinhua had already sent a message to send a message to go back first. After arriving at home, all the things in Xu's family were arranged, so she didn't have to worry about it.
