Feudal scholar-bureaucrats reborn: marrying a husband and marrying a virtuous

Lin Fangxu didn't know that he had become a good son-in-law in the eyes of others, let alone that a sudden spring breeze wrinkled the water between the two hearts by such a coincidence.

The palace examination is still more than a month away. Lin Fangxu thought that he didn't need to prepare anything. If the questions of the palace examination were still the same as those in his previous life, he would have already prepared them.If it is different, there is no need to prepare, so it seems more important to find a house as the top priority.

When he first came to the capital, Lin Fangxu had told Lin Fangyuan to pay attention to this matter, and Lin Fangyuan had already looked at several places, waiting for him to make a decision.

Lin Fangyuan felt that the few houses he had carefully selected were in good overall conditions. He wanted to show off his excellent handling ability, but when he came out of Liushu Hutong, he was so annoyed that he wanted to beat himself up. Why? I didn't inquire a few more times before bringing the young master here.

As soon as I followed the middleman to look at the house, I saw a young couple coming out of the yard next door. When I turned around, I saw that it was the daughter of the second young master and Ai Xiucai.

When Ai Xiaoya saw the three of Lin Fangxu, her face turned cold, she just pretended not to see them, and walked past them and walked out of the alley. Lin Fangming stood there in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.

Lin Fangxu didn't care, and smiled and said: "I heard from my elder brother a few years ago that my second brother came to the capital, but he didn't know where he lived. I finally got to see you today. How is your second brother?"

Lin Fangming said awkwardly: "Very good... I heard that you won the first place in the meeting. Congratulations."

Lin Fangxu said modestly: "It's just a fluke. By the way, my eldest brother wrote in the first month that he wanted to come to the capital. He must have already set off by this time. By then, our brothers will be in the capital and we will get together."

Lin Fangming was a little uncomfortable and said, "Big brother..., is big brother coming? Oh... By the way, what's the matter with you here?"

Lin Fangxu replied: "I came here to look at the house, but I didn't expect my second brother to live here too."

Lin Fangming asked concerned: "Have you seen it? But have you chosen a place to live?"

Lin Fangxu saw that he was frequently looking towards the entrance of the alley, so he took advantage of the situation and said, "I haven't decided yet, I plan to go to another place to see. If the second brother has something to do, you don't have to spend time with me."

Lin Fangming hesitated for a moment, and said: "Then I'll leave first, you should pay more attention when choosing a house, and ask more about the character of the owner." Without waiting for Lin Fangxu's response, he left in a hurry.

Out of Liushu Alley, there is a bustling market lined with shops and restaurants on both sides. Seeing the young master's expressionless face, Lin Chong looked at the people who passed by from time to time. He was wearing the uniform of a soldier in the guard, and deliberately found a topic: "Hey...why come to the capital?" There are so many warriors?"

Lin Fangyuan walked in front to lead the way for the young master. Hearing this, he turned around and replied, "There are so many of them suddenly. When I went out to look for a house last month, I found groups of soldiers entering the capital."

Lin Chong felt a little nervous, and said in a low voice, "But did something important happen?"

"Pfft..., so nervous!" Lin Fangxu shook his head and laughed, "They are soldiers recommended by various guards to come to the Beijing camp, and they probably don't usually live in the city."

Lin Fangyuan also smiled and said: "Yes, they usually live in the Fifth Army Battalion outside the city, but sometimes they go to the city to watch the fun and buy something."

Knowing that these people came to the capital to take the Beijing Camp Examination, Lin Chong looked at them with envy. Although Lin Fangxu and Lin Fangyuan saw it, they couldn't understand him.

Since Hongwu ten years later, only soldiers with outstanding performance in various guards can be recommended to participate in the recruitment examination of the three major battalions of the capital.

But not many actually applied for it. After all, the competitors were from various institutions of David, and there were even excellent soldiers stationed at the border from the north and the south. The Beijing camp examination has always been very strict. No doubt the honorable sons of the land were delivering food, not to mention being beaten for nothing, and they would also suffer a huge mental blow.

But there are some exceptions to everything. Leaving aside those martial arts children who have been sent to the army by their elders since they were young, the two Jiang family brothers who sneaked out early this morning are probably not afraid to compete with the soldiers of the guard, because In the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, the guards who accompany them to practice and learn from each other are the brave and skilled fighters who were retired by the Davids.

Speaking of the soldiers recommended by the guards, the list has long been submitted by the guards. The children of the martial arts family who want to apply for the exam will apply outside the Fifth Army Battalion today. Jiang Shimin is responsible for the registration, and he is watching at this time Standing among a group of elders, the seemingly weak little brother luck.

Jiang Shiwu pretended not to see his elder brother, who was so cloudy that his face was dripping with water, and urged, "Brother, quickly write down my and Xiaoyun's names, there are still people waiting."

Jiang Shimin looked at the group of juniors who were waiting to watch the show, and was so angry that he just wanted to drag him out and beat him up, but unfortunately he couldn't beat him, and he would still be ashamed at that time, so he turned to Jiang Shiyun and said, "Xiaoyun, do you really want to be admitted to Beijing?" Camp, maybe you want to join in the fun after watching your second brother take the exam, Beijing camp is not fun, it's very boring, go back quickly."

Jiang Shiyun was not happy to hear it, and retorted: "Brother, who is looking down on me? Who is messing around? I came here after thinking about it. Besides, brother knows, I am no worse than your men."

"Pfft..."

The people behind couldn't help laughing, seeing Jiang Shiyun looking back, he quickly covered his mouth and held back, just kidding, the fierce brother of Wu'an Hou Mansion is famous among the noble children, who would dare to provoke him? !

Jiang Shimin's head was so big that he couldn't stand his younger brother's insistence, so he had to write his name on it. As for what will happen next, after my aunt finds out, whether she will come to Wu'anhou's mansion to cry, let my father worry about it.

On the same day, a group of old men crowded in front of the Fifth Army Camp, but Nishang Pavilion, the largest tailor-made clothing show building in the capital, was full of cute girls in bright clothes, just because Nishang Pavilion recently released A series of spring clothes, the style is very novel and beautiful.

As soon as the ready-made clothes were put out, they were sought after by ladies and young ladies in Beijing. Of course, the clothes are the property of the third prince. They are already very famous in the capital, which is another point.

Ai Xiaoya and Ai Xiaoya also went out to discuss cooperation issues with Nishang Pavilion shopkeeper Wu Niangzi. Ai Xiaoya suffered a setback in Wuyi County, but she became down-to-earth, knowing that there is no such thing as a good thing, but at the same time she became I was too cautious, and I didn't know what to do with the designed artwork for a while.

Still, Lin Fangming couldn't see it, so he took it to the teahouse he cooperated with and asked Shopkeeper Lu. Shopkeeper Lu is a big man, so naturally he can't tell whether the clothes are good or bad, but for Lin Fangming's sake, he introduced them to someone who also worked for the third prince. Lady Wu.

Ai Xiaoya may be too naive, but her design talent is really good. As soon as Wu Niangzi finished reading the artwork, she bought it at a not-so-low price, and promised that if it sold well, she would give some of the profits. ,it is also fine.

Ai Xiaoya and Lin Fangming, who rushed over later, waited for a while in the backyard of the Nishang Pavilion before Mrs. Wu came over. As soon as she entered the door, she smiled and said: "I kept you two waiting for a long time, I am really busy."

Ai Xiaoya was impatient, and asked directly: "I don't know how the clothes are selling?"

Miss Wu smiled and asked back: "Seeing the people coming and going outside, can't Miss Ai guess?"

For the clothes painted by Ai Xiaoya, Mrs. Wu herself liked the clothes very much, so she praised: "Haha..., Mrs. Ai is really clever. I have already reported to the master, and the master has agreed. Everything the lady draws in the future For the series, in addition to the previous embellishment silver, the profit from the sales of the garments in the first two years can be divided into [-]% for the wife, but the styles drawn by the lady in the future can only be sold to my Nishang Pavilion, and cannot be passed on to other places? Would the lady like it?"

Ai Xiaoya did not immediately agree, and looked at Lin Fangming beggingly. Seeing this, Mrs. Wu slowly reminded: "Although the clothes drawn by the lady are good, they can only be sold at the Nishang Pavilion. If they are sold well, if you give them away It's just average in other places, my lady has to think carefully."

Lin Fangming interjected at this time: "The influence of Nishang Pavilion is naturally not comparable to that of other places, but if we cooperate, it will take a year

It is not our responsibility to draw a few series, and if the drawing is handed over to Nishang Pavilion, it is revealed by other people in the pavilion, or copied by other embroidery buildings. "

Wu Niangzi laughed and said: "Of course, you can draw as many series as you want. If you don't want to earn money, we won't force it to you, right? As for the latter, you can rest assured. Randomly shirking responsibility."

In the end, Lin Fangming checked the contract repeatedly, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, Ai Xiaoya signed her name.

In the private room of the tea house opposite the Nishang Pavilion, Shang Wanjun held a delicate and small pink glazed ceramic rouge box in his hand, with a sad face, thinking about what his mother said by accident in the Wu'anhou Mansion, and no matter what he went back, he would make sidesteps, but his mother They don't keep their mouths shut.

The close maid, Hong Lian, said softly at this time: "Miss, yesterday I happened to meet Uncle Chen's servant, Mo Zhu, who went out to buy rice paper, and I have already told him to pass on the message. I think Young Master Chen will come over soon. This servant will go outside right now." Wait, there are many more warriors who are going to test the capital camp outside, lest Uncle Chen find the wrong place and let those people bump into him."

Shang Wanjun told her to pay more attention to herself, but what Jiang Shiyun whispered unintentionally in her heart was what Jiang Shiyun whispered in her ear: "Cousin, I'm going to sign up for the Beijing camp exam in a few days, you have to hurry up... "Jingying, it turns out that Xiaoyun has this plan, it seems Mrs. Zhongyong's plan may not come true.

Speaking of which, Shang Wanjun still can't understand at this time, why Jiang Shiyun went to the Beijing camp. Everyone has to follow the example of men and marry women as wives. Very few people marry unsatisfactory even if they marry, and some even remain celibate all their lives.

Shang Wanjun's thoughts actually represent most people's views on the little brothers in the Beijing camp. While admiring their bravery and tenacity, they also avoid them when it comes to marriage. This may be what people who go against the mainstream have to bear. criticism.
