Chapter 266: Imperial Capital


When the He family entered the Imperial City, their eyes were always busy.

Although stretching their necks to look at the scenery of the Imperial City in such a daze seemed like a country bumpkin, it was too difficult to hold back and not look at it.

"Hey, no wonder people say that if you want to learn more, you have to come to the Imperial Capital."

Mrs.

He thought she was sighing in a low voice.

However, since it was her first time to come to the Imperial Capital and she had gained a lot of exposure to the world, she was so excited that she could not suppress her voice, which made everyone upset.

Everyone heard it, and even the people on the street looked at the old lady who was looking out of the car window.

The He family all agreed with this, and He Zijin nodded, "Yeah, look at that city tower, oh, it's so majestic."

The current city tower is different from the remaining scenic spots that He Xiaoxian spent money to visit in his previous life.

This kind of towering tower The magnificence, He Zijin felt, even if he returned to his hometown now, He would be the topic of conversation all his life.

Madam He nodded heavily, "How about it's the imperial capital?"

Brother Jun also said in a sweet voice, "It's so high.

It's even higher than those in our county."

Ah Lie said, "It's also higher than those in Fucheng."

Mrs.

Shen pursed her lips and smiled, "This trip is not in vain, it really opened my eyes."

As A Nian and He Gongweng's son-in-law were holding high positions, they cautiously flicked the hems of their coats and stared at the majesty of the imperial capital.

At the same time, each of them brewed several sour poems in their stomachs, ready to write them out and recite them at a moment's notice.

Head Guard Li knew the address of Shen Su's house.

While talking to the He family about the prosperity along the road, he sent the He family to the Shen family first.

Shen Su went to the Yamen as an errand and has not returned yet.

Now that Shen Su is prosperous, there are two porters at the door.

When he heard that it was his aunt's family coming from his hometown, one of them rushed in to deliver the letter, and the other greeted him and led the way.

Mrs.

He looked around at the Shen family's houses.

She saw that they were all large, neat houses with blue bricks and black tiles.

They were quite spacious, with occasional trees and flowers, adding to their elegance.

She thought that being an official would be a good thing, and Asu was now very impressive.

He Zijin also smiled and said to his mother, "My uncle is rich."

The life of her parents' family was good, and Mrs.

Shen's eyes were full of smiles, "It's not easy for your uncle either."

Although the house looked good to his brother, his four sons were looking for marriage in the imperial capital in the future.

Go to my wife.

Mrs.

He agreed very much with what her girl said.

One look at the house and she knew that her uncle was very prosperous.

Oh, is it possible that education is so profitable?

After all, my uncle’s official rank is not high, and his salary is said to be limited.

He Lao Niang was thinking about it, thinking that if her son becomes an official in the future, she would also ask him to go into education.

After the He family passed the double courtyard, the two elders of the Shen family took Jiang and their grandson Shen Dan out with smiles on their faces.

Mrs.

Shen, in particular, was so excited that her eyes were red.

What worried her most was I have a daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren, but I still have to say hello to my in-laws, Mrs.

He, as I can’t lose my etiquette.

Mrs.

Shen held Mrs.

He's hand and said happily, "My in-laws have been looking forward to seeing you."

Mrs.

He giggled, "My dear, I miss you so much."

The whole family had seen each other, and happily thanked Mr.

Li and his party, and ordered the steward to ask Mr.

Li to rest.

The guest room and everything were prepared.

Li Biaotou exchanged a few pleasantries and left.

Jiang said, "Mom, it's cold outside.

Let the old lady, sister, brother-in-law and children go in first.

Don't freeze."

"Yes, that's right."

Mrs.

Shen wiped away the tears of excitement from the corner of her eyes and led people into the house.

Old Mrs.

Shen looked at her daughter and her son-in-law, and she couldn't express her happiness clearly.

He Zijin cleverly went over to hold her grandmother's arm, and Ah Lie went to help Mr.

Shen.

He Gongze, the Shen family, was with He Lao Niang and gave He Lao Niang a lot of face.

She felt that her son and daughter-in-law were filial and her grandchildren were discerning.

The family entered the house where Mr.

Shen and Mrs.

Shen lived.

It was cold and there were charcoal basins in the house.

They felt warm when they entered the house.

Outside, she felt that the Shen family's house was luxurious, but when she arrived at Mrs.

Shen's house, Mrs.

He felt more and more that she was being outdone by Mrs.

Shen.

Not to mention, the cotton curtains in Mrs.

Shen’s room are all blue silk curtains embroidered with plum blossoms.

Also, the bottles and cans placed on the table are hard to see, especially the On the wall table, there was a pair of golden birthday stars, which barely dazzled Mrs.

He.

Everyone bowed to each other and greeted the elders.

As soon as they sat down, a maid in a green dress and skirt came up to offer tea.

Mrs.

Jiang also specially said, "Brother Jun is young, please warm up a cup of milk."

Mrs.

Shen saw that her daughter-in-law was attentive and her eyes were full of children, so she kept nagging, "Zi Jin has grown so tall.

The year she came to the imperial capital, she was only a little tall."

She gestured and said, "Ah Lie is also tall.

Yes."

He held Brother Jun in his arms and shed tears of joy again.

Speaking of which, it was the first time for Mrs.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

Shen to see Brother Jun.

Mrs.

Shen smiled at the little guy who was following Mr.

Jiang and asked, "Is this Brother Zhu?"

Shen Su's fourth son, Shen Xuan, Shen Jiang, Chen Dan, and Chen Zhu.

He Zijin saw that the little guy was only three or four years old, with big eyes, a high nose, and a white and soft dumpling shape.

He was wearing a bright red cotton robe and a gold collar hanging around his neck.

He looked like a boy in a painting.

He hugged him with a smile.

In his arms, he showed it to Shen and said, "Brother Zhu looks exactly like Ah Xuan when he was a child."

Mrs.

Shen took Brother Zhu's hug and smiled, "That's right."

Brother Jun nodded pretendingly and said, "I'm just too young to play with you."

Ah Lie said, "You are the elder brother and you have to let Brother Zhu go."

Brother Jun was always the younger brother at home.

When he heard that he could actually be the older brother, he felt energetic and stopped sitting with his grandmother.

He went over and held Brother Zhu's hand, "Then you can play with me."

Son."

Mrs.

Shen prepared a silver necklace and a silver bracelet for Brother Zhu.

Ms.

Jiang smiled and said, "My sister gave it to Xiao Rui last time when I went back.

What should I do for him this time?"

Mrs.

Shen smiled, "How's this?

It's the first time I've met Brother Zhu."

Mrs.

Shen just gave her one gift as a meeting gift, Mrs.

Jiang gave her four, one each for He Zijin, A Lie, and Brother Jun, and A Nian also got one.

Mrs.

He was beaming when she saw it.

She got four shares for one share, making a net profit of three shares.

Especially the share that Jiang gave to He Zijin was a pair of gold and red hairpins, which were very exquisite.

Mrs.

He felt deeply that her girl had good fortune, so she said with a smile, "My uncle and madam are so polite."

She said Jiang was polite, but she didn't even say a word of polite refusal.

Jiang, who had been quite good at talking in the imperial capital these years, said, "This hairpin is suitable for Zi Jin to wear.

This child was born by chance."

He then said to Shen, "I told him early in the morning that Chairman Zi Jin would His eyebrows and eyebrows are like his sister’s, so he’s not afraid of her being unhappy.

I think Zijin is even more handsome than his sister when he was young.”

Mrs.

He wanted to roll her eyes when she heard this.

Her girl's nose and mouth were carved in the same mold as hers.

However, when someone praised her girl for her movie, Mrs.

He still raised her chin immodestly and twitched the corners of her mouth, "Oh, my uncle, please don't praise her like that.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

Usually the only people who praise this girl in our county are Quite a few.

When I came to the Imperial Capital, I thought there were many talented people in the Imperial Capital, but I didn’t ask anyone to compare with them along the way.”

I was surprised to see that He Zijin was so thick-skinned, and blushed a little because of her grandmother’s incredible confidence, and quickly said, “Look at what my grandmother said, we just came to the imperial capital, and you haven’t seen any good ones yet.

Woolen cloth."

Jiang said quickly and smiled, "No, I have been in the imperial capital for several years, and I have never seen many people who are more handsome than our children."

Most girls are more like their fathers, but He Zijin completely picked on the advantages of his parents. , and the Shen family is indeed outstanding in appearance, He Zijin is quite similar to his mother.

In fact, He Zijin was born like Shen Su.

Shen Su was a well-known handsome boy in Changshui Village at the time.

The Shen family was still poor at that time, and the Jiang family was a family of small landlords.

Because Shen Su was handsome, the Jiang family was completely It's about getting married.

Of course, now that Shen Su has developed, everyone in Changshui Village praises Shen for her vision and good fortune.

Old Mrs.

Shen also looked at her granddaughter and smiled, "Zijin's child was born well."

Seeing her granddaughter, she was happy but also a little regretful.

She looked at A-Nian and asked, "There was a letter from the front saying that both my son-in-law and A-Nian were shot.

The whole family is very happy.”

After listening to the women talking about the useless talk about family affairs, Mr.

Shen finally got to the point.

He smiled and asked about the rankings of his son-in-law and A-Nian, and said, "Everyone has a future."

He Gong smiled, "A-Nian has made a comeback, and the family even got a Jie Yuan plaque."

Mr.

Shen chuckled and said, "The ranking is better than that of you and Asu.

This child will have a good future in the future."

He then asked, "Now that I am in the imperial capital, can I leave someone in my family to look at the plaque and pass it on to my descendants?"

As soon as Ah Nian heard about the children and grandchildren, he felt drunk and beautiful in his heart.

He hurriedly said, "Pick it off and put it in the house.

Entrust it to Brother Awen to take care of it.

Grandpa, don't worry, nothing will happen again."

Mr.

Shen was very satisfied.

Mrs.

Shen actually wanted to ask how her grandson's marriage to A-Nian was going, whether it was settled, and if it wasn't settled, see if there was any room for action.

However, since the children were there, Mrs.

Shen suppressed her words and said with a smile, "The messenger came over that day.

Alas, he saw that his son-in-law and A Nian had been hit.

Your father and A Su had been drinking for a whole day.

All drunk."

Shen smiled, "This is something I didn't expect.

In my husband's article, the gentlemen have already mentioned that the Marquis of Fire has always been two points behind in luck.

It just happened that this year it was a coincidence that double happiness came to our door.

Otherwise, there would be no reason to come to the imperial capital.

Woolen cloth."

"Sister, I can come whenever I want, no need to make excuses."

Mrs.

Shen smiled, "I can't accommodate it at home.

The children are all studying.

When I came back to the imperial capital, I wanted to let the children broaden their horizons.

It really has a different style."

Old Mrs.

Shen smiled, "This is our first time here.

We never thought there would be such a big capital.

You have to see it to believe it."

"Isn't that right?"

Mrs.

He was convinced.

"That city wall, that tower, that old Gao, you can probably touch the sky if you stand on it."

He Zijin said, "If you don't see the emperor's palace, how can you know that the emperor is respected?

The emperor's capital is the place where the emperor lives.

Of course it is different.

I heard that the imperial palace is more magnificent."

Mrs.

He couldn't help but demolish the film about her own girl, and said, "Looking at it, it seems like you have seen the palace."

"I heard from Uncle Li that he had seen the palace from a distance and said it was very majestic."

The palace cannot be seen up close, but it is said that it can still be seen from a distance.

Mr.

Shen was very happy to see that his granddaughter could still recite poems.

He nodded and said, "Zi Jin has been studying for several years."

Mrs.

Shen was born as an old scholar.

Although his fame was far less than that of his son, he was able to raise a son who was a Jinshi.

He was very good to the children.

Education has always been highly valued.

Shen said, "She was first asked to study with some of her aunt's cousins ​​for two or three years, and then she started reading by herself at home."

Mrs.

He was very dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law's modesty.

As a girl grew older, it was not the time to be humble.

She came from the countryside.

No matter how modest she was, she was afraid of being looked down upon.

He Lao Niang said, "Yes, I just learned a little bit of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I copied a whole shelf of books, but I don't know how much money I spent on ink."

Mr.

Shen hurriedly said, "Girl Zijin has a different charm.

Who knows it's not because of studying."

Mr.

Shen is not like Mrs.

He who boasts about himself.

He doesn't say much.

He just looks at his granddaughter's natural and generous nature and sees that her granddaughter has studied.

I really like it.

He Lao Niang said happily, "Yes, there are a few families in our county who are willing to ask the girl to study in the film.

As for my family, alas, forget about the trouble we put into this girl.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

Fortunately, this girl has this Even though I can’t pass the imperial examination, at least I’m not blind, and I’m sensible.”

I feel that my girl has a long face.

This isn't Mrs.

He's bragging.

On the road to the Imperial Capital, she quietly looked down the street.

There were also older girls and younger wives coming out, but they were better than her girls, so she really didn't see them.

Mr.

Shen tugged at his beard and said, "What the in-laws said makes sense.

We are studying in other people's families.

No matter whether we are girls or boys, we should all read some books."

Although the in-laws were not a sensible person in the past, there were many scholars in the family, so she was inspired by them.

I understand, now what I say is very reasonable.

Mrs.

Shen asked, "Did A Xuan, A Jiang and A Dan go to school?"

Even though he came to the imperial capital, Mrs.

Shen didn't want his son to delay his studies, so he asked this question.

Old Mrs.

Shen said, "Just joking, take the children back."

This was said to Mrs.

Jiang.

Mrs.

Jiang was a little reluctant, fearing that it would delay her sons' homework, but her mother-in-law said so she had no choice but to send someone to pick her up.

Shen stopped Jiang with a smile and said, "What's the hurry?

We've got to stay here for a while, and we don't need more than a day and a half, so the children can study well and don't delay their homework."

After hearing what her daughter said, Mrs.

Shen didn't force her.

Jiang knew the opportunity and said, "Ah Xuan and Ah Bai are studying in the official school.

When the time comes, let the master tell Ah Lie and ask the children to go together.

Ah Lie.

When you come, don’t waste your time.

There is Ah Xuan and Ah Bai in the school, so let’s be your companions.”

These words touched Shen's heart.

Shen and Jiang asked, "Is the official academy an academy run by the imperial capital?"

They thought it was the same as Furong Academy.

Jiang said, "This official school is different from the government school.

The official school is funded by the imperial court.

Originally, the children of officials of fifth rank and above could only go to school after passing the examination.

Because the master will teach the children there every other day.

When I was giving lectures, I put Ah Xuan and Ah Bai in.”

Mrs.

Shen was afraid that her brother would be in trouble, so she asked, "Can Ah Lie go?"

Her family was not an official.

"Sister, don't worry.

There are also common people here.

As long as they do their homework well, they can get in."

Mrs.

Jiang was also planning for Ah Lie and said, "When the master comes back, ask him to see how Ah Lie is doing in his studies and where he has any shortcomings.

Tutoring One or two, after passing the exam, you can go to school.

You won’t receive a penny from it, and you’ll have a meal at noon, which is pretty good.”

Of course Mrs.

Shen was totally willing, and Mrs.

He was also very happy, saying that a thousand words are worth it.

Although she was jealous of the pair of golden birthday girls in Mrs.

Shen's house, Mrs.

He was even more looking forward to the future of her children and grandchildren, thinking In the future, when the grandson gets rich, he will honor her with a house full of golden birthdays.

What's the point of a couple?

He laughed, "Last time I heard Brother Rui say that my uncle also runs an academy of his own.

It's a big deal that he is famous.

My uncle is really knowledgeable." " Speaking of this, Old Mrs.

Shen was also very proud.

She had a soft temper.

Even though she was proud of her son's success, she did not turn her nose up like Mrs.

He.

Old Mrs.

Shen smiled, "Hey, this family is counting on him.

I never dared to think about the life we ​​have now.”

"Isn't this your blessing from the in-laws?"

Mrs.

He couldn't help but feel a little sour when she thought of the golden birthday girl.

Mrs.

Shen smiled, "My son-in-law's ranking is no worse than A Su's, and A Nian is Jieyuan.

From now on, you will only be more blessed than me."

Mrs.

He said with a smile, "What will happen to their son-in-law next year?

I just hope that it will be as the in-laws say."

Mrs.

Shen smiled, "It must be what I said."

When my daughter first married into the He family, her in-laws were quite tricky and had a tendency to favor sons over daughters.

Now that she saw her daughter and granddaughter, and saw that mother and daughter were both dressed and looking good, Mrs.

Shen was relieved.

Thinking about what Xiao Rui said, the old lady in-laws seemed to have corrected all her tricky habits over the years.

When she thought of this, Mrs.

Shen wanted to recite Buddha's name, and she became closer to Mrs.

He.

It was noon as everyone was chatting and laughing.

Needless to say, the banquet was sumptuous.

However, as soon as the meal was over, He Lao Niang's sour mind was balanced.

She thought that although her in-laws were rich, the food was just mediocre.

He set up a banquet at home.

That's all these things.

Taste it again.

It tastes good, but it's not any better than his.

He Lao Niang also showed off her daughter's picture and said, "This girl knows how to cook.

When will I ask her to cook a few side dishes for my in-laws to try.

You came to the imperial capital early and have never enjoyed my granddaughter's cooking."

Mrs.

Shen smiled, "Qiao Niang is not as stupid as her daughter.

Zi Jin is as skillful as her mother."

Mrs.

He deeply feels that she and Mrs.

Shen have nothing in common.

As long as her girl's picture is good, it is like her surnamed Shen.

The cooking skills of her girl's picture are obviously like hers, okay?

After the family had lunch, Mrs.

Jiang had ordered people to tidy up the yard in advance.

Mrs.

He took the children to have a rest as she got older.

Afterwards, she told Mrs.

Shen, "My uncle and wife have made arrangements.

You can accompany me."

Let’s talk to the old lady in law for a while, I don’t need to worry about it here.”

Mrs.

Shen was not polite to her mother-in-law and stayed in her mother's room.

Mrs.

Jiang also took her son Shen Dan down, and He Gong went to the study with his father-in-law Mr.

Shen to talk.

Old Mrs.

Shen asked her daughter to kiss and sit on the couch with her.

She looked at her daughter's still beautiful face and said, "Looking at your complexion, I know that your life will go well."

Words can deceive people, but complexion cannot. human.

After coming all the way to the imperial capital, my daughter's face turned pale and rosy, so she knew her life was going well.

Shen smiled, "In my hometown, that is to say, in my family's affairs, in these years, although I am not very rich, I still have enough food and clothing.

On the other hand, my mother, I heard Xiao Rui say that it was very difficult when she first arrived in the imperial capital. for a while.”

Mrs.

Shen smiled, "That's not difficult.

You don't know the life of our family.

We are not a wealthy family.

When we first arrived in the imperial capital, your brother rented a house.

Although the house is not big, we The family was small, so they had enough room to live in.

Later, they moved to the southern suburbs for a few days.

Oh, that place.

Just now, the imperial court built a new house for free, with mountains and water, and you can also grow vegetables.

Asu's academy is located in the southern suburbs, and there is also a university called Wen in the southern suburbs.

In Daotang, there is a famous scholar named Jiang, who has the same surname as Ah Xuan’s mother.

He is giving lectures in Wendaotang.”

"Is it possible that it's better than what Asu said?"

Shen asked.

Old Mrs.

Shen said quickly, "Well, Mr.

Jiang has a great reputation.

It is said that even when the emperor asked him to be an official, he didn't even do it.

He just loved giving lectures.

There is no knowledge in the world that Mr.

Jiang doesn't know.

It’s almost a hundred now, old birthday boy.”

Shen sighed, "The Imperial Capital is indeed an unusual place.

There are many strange people and anecdotes."

"Yes."

Old Mrs.

Shen thought that her son-in-law had a future, and she was happy for her daughter.

"Everyone says that my life is good.

I think your life is not bad either.

Your son-in-law's fortune has come."

Mrs.

Shen smiled, "It depends on him.

If he passes the exam, it is a blessing for the family.

If he fails, it doesn't matter.

Just treat it as visiting relatives in the imperial capital and broadening the children's horizons.

Anyway, the family has no shortage of food and clothing.

My husband is here."

It’s enough to be successful in one’s hometown.”

Old Mrs.

Shen had something on her mind and asked quickly, "I sent a letter earlier saying that Zi Jin and A Nian were childhood sweethearts.

Have they decided on the matter of their two children?"

Shen smiled, "It's settled at home."

"Oh, why are you in such a hurry?"

Mrs.

Shen couldn't help but mutter.

"Mom, you don't know, you just risked a big thing because of this girl."

Shen didn't expect that her mother wanted her daughter to get married to her nephew and uncle, so she risked her daughter being brought into the palace.

The child told her mother, and Mrs.

Shen couldn't help but chant the Buddha's name and said, "These evil-hearted people, if you didn't understand, my child's life would be over."

"Yes, this person has bad intentions, and it is really hard to guard against.

Because of this, I quickly settled the matter between A Nian and Zi Jin.

As luck would have it, this matter was settled, and then came Qiu Wei, A Nian In one fell swoop, he won the title of Yuan, and everyone said that Zi Jin had good luck and a prosperous husband.

Speaking of this, Mrs.

Shen was very proud of her daughter, which was proof that her daughter had a good life.

Mrs.

Shen smiled, "They all say that I have a good fortune, but I think Zi Jin has a better fortune than me."

Shen's words made Old Mrs.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

Shen regret even more.

Since there was no one else in the room, Old Mrs.

Shen said to her daughter, "Hey, in the past few years, besides thinking about you, I've only been thinking about you, little girl Zijin.

It's like being far away.

It’s so inconvenient” What is her mother saying?

Old Mrs.

Shen got older, and her mouth became rude when she complained.

She said, "When it comes to children, Zijin and Ah Xuan are the best, and they get along best."

Mrs.

Shen finally understood and couldn't laugh or cry, "Axuan is three years younger than Zijin, so they don't match each other in terms of age."

"What are you afraid of when you are three years younger?

A junior girl is holding gold bricks."

Old Mrs.

Shen sighed, "It's too late to say anything.

That kid A Nian is also promising, and he is a good match for the two of them."

"I have watched A Nian grow up since I was a child, and I know her roots well."

When she thought about it, it was Xiao Jie Yuan who got engaged to her daughter.

Shen was not snobbish.

With Jie Yuan's son-in-law, she didn't even think highly of her maternal nephew.

Mrs.

Shen added, "Besides, A-Nian is also your god-grandson, just like A-Xuan."

Old Mrs.

Shen was not mean, and she never treated A-Nian poorly.

However, Old Mrs.

Shen said, "It's too late to say anything."

Mrs.

Shen smiled and started talking to her mother.

Madam He took the children to the yard arranged by Jiang, and sent the children to rest, leaving the girl Pianzi alone with her.

Madam He also asked Grandma Yu to go and rest first.

Aunt Yu is getting older, and Mrs.

He mostly treats Aunt Yu as an old sister to keep her company, and doesn't have much control over her.

After Nanny Yu went to rest, Mrs.

He looked at this house which was no worse than Mrs.

Shen.

She knew that the Shen family entertained her sincerely.

She felt grateful for the kindness of the Shen family.

They talked about the good things about the old lady in law and had sex with her own girl.

He sighed, "Oh, it's really great to have an academy in the imperial capital.

Your uncle is very prosperous."

He Zijin knew that the old lady was a little sour, so he pursed his lips and smiled, "What's the point?

I know that our family will be worse than my uncle's family from now on."

Mrs.

He raised her chin, and Fan'er nodded with satisfaction, "These words are ambitious and come from our Lao He family."

She hopes that when her children will become successful, they will be filial to them.
