All Hail Cousin Brother

Yu Youyao's hand holding the tea couldn't help but pause.

Xia Tao said excitedly: "One of our clan won the one hundred and seventy-ninth place, and Song Shizi of Zhen Guohou's mansion took the first place again, and won the name of Huiyuan. The sons of the princes all take the first name in the pilot test, and the three cases are the first, I heard that there are only a handful of them in all dynasties."

This year's imperial examination is a bit later than in previous years, and the examination did not officially start until late March.

The release of the list was also a little late, and it was postponed to March.

In the generation of the Yu clan, apart from Yu Shande and Yu Shanyan who were more outstanding, the others who participated in Chunwei did not rank too high in the previous Juren examination.

Yu Shanyan is still young, and he will have to grind for three years before he will end up in the next imperial examination.

Yu Youyao was not surprised that one of the talents who could not be found this time was able to pass the exam.

The results of the general examination will be used as a reference for the re-examination and palace examination. The final ranking is one hundred and seventy-nine.

As for Song Mingzhao's passing the Huiyuan exam, this was expected, and Yu Youyao didn't care much about it.

Xia Tao mentioned Song Mingzhao, and she couldn't finish talking: "Next, there will be the re-examination in front of the palace and the palace examination. Everyone is guessing, maybe Song Shizi can come to the top of the five cases. The crown prince is none other than the crown prince, and there has been a lot of rumors in the capital, everyone is talking about the crown prince Song, how amazing and talented, young and promising..."

Song Shizi has turned eighteen, and he has already reached the age of marriage. He was originally a Zhilan Yushu, a handsome and extraordinary fairy, but now he is a blockbuster in the imperial examination, and he has become the dream lover of the daughters of various families in Beijing. Well, there are quite a few families in Beijing, all staring at Song Shizi.

Seeing Xia Tao's excited face, Yu Youyao frowned: "Go and see if the pastries in the kitchen have been steamed? After steaming, put them on a plate and send them to grandma's house, and send the rest to cousin's house inside."

Grandma is getting old, and her tonic should be warmed, not too much.

One or two yuan a day is almost enough, and eating more is not beneficial.

Xia Tao vaguely felt that the lady didn't like it very much, and she felt strange when mentioning Song Shizi.

The two families of Song and Yu are family friends. Song Shizi won Huiyuan, and the young lady had to say a few words, why didn't she even mention it?

But as a slave, she naturally wouldn't ask too much.

There is only one son in the family who has been selected as a tribute, and that is also a thousand troops crossing the single-plank bridge. It is rare, and the whole mansion is also beaming with joy.

The family banquet has also been prepared since the morning.

In the evening, the men of the family went down to the yamen, the two householders of the Yu Mansion, together with Yu Shande and the younger generation who participated in the family science examination this time, also had three tables bustlingly.

In the past two years, the Yu Mansion has become more and more low-key.

Even if someone in the family passed the Gongshi examination, they only closed the gate of the mansion. The family was lively and celebrated. The next day, at dawn, the mansion returned to calm, and what to do.

After a few days of bustling in Beijing, it returned to calm.

The next day, Yu Youyao accompanied her cousin to complete the acupuncture treatment, and when she returned to the Yaoyu Courtyard, she was in Yuzhong.

Chun Xiao came to report: "Song Shizi is here, Madam, please come over."

Yu Youyao nodded lightly, went back to her room and changed her clothes again, and then took Chun Xiao to An Shoutang.

Song Mingzhao probably really accepted the Yu Mansion's "life-saving" kindness, and respected Mrs. Yu as a half-grandmother. In the past two years, he often came to the Yu Mansion.

In addition, in the past two years, the government and the opposition have not been peaceful, and the relationship between family friends has become closer.

The friendship between the Song and Yu families,

It's also better than before.

It's no surprise that Yu Youyao was watching from the sidelines.

It's just that Song Mingzhao is a visitor, and the family needs someone to greet him. Grandma is an elder, and Aunt Jiang hasn't straightened up yet. It's okay to go outside to represent the family and walk through the door, but this serious hospitality is not enough.

Cousin is also a man, and company is indispensable, but he can be a company at home, and the female relatives have to come forward to recruit others.

On the surface, she is still in charge of the house, and when guests come to the house, she should be the one to come forward.

Although she is older, she has also reached the age of paying attention to the defense of men and women.

However, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was no such custom of avoiding foreign men and not being able to show their faces. It is also in accordance with the etiquette for men and women to defend themselves in front of their elders.

Even if they met outside, as long as they were accompanied by a prudent nanny and did not contact privately, it was common for them to greet each other.

Yu Youyao is also troubled by this.

When we got to An Shoutang, Zhou Linghuai had already arrived.

Yu Youyao looked at her cousin first, and then stepped forward to greet Song Mingzhao.

Song Mingzhao noticed this, and his gaze deepened. Miss Yu was wearing azure glaze, with a delicate and soft figure, and a light bunch around her waist, just like a bottle of Rujiao azure that he got by chance a few days ago. beauty bottle.

Beautiful and graceful, nowhere is not beautiful.

The craftsmanship of Rujiao has been lost, and this beauty bottle is rare and unique in the world.

Song Mingzhao saw that the yellow-green madder pattern climbed up from the flexible and slender waist, and suddenly a yellow crab claw flower bloomed on the chest.

Bright, pure, graceful and noble.

In just over a month, Miss Yu will be thirteen years old.

Song Mingzhao lowered his eyes, and gently stroked the longevity knot on his wrist with his fingers: "The imperial court only came up with the word [Jiangnan] in the question of this test. It is obvious that the emperor's tolerance for Jiangnan has almost come to an end."

Old Madam Yu twirled the Buddha beads and sighed slightly: "How similar is this scene to three years ago?!"

Three years ago, the emperor, who had not set foot in the imperial court for a long time, used the word "government" in the question of the palace examination for the first time, which made the children of the family shrink back and couldn't even show their true level. This opened the prelude to the "You Wang Case".

This shocking case involved the government and the public, and even involved Li Qiguang's conspiracy and Song Xiuwen's case.

Now the word Jiangnan is just the beginning.

Next, there is Zhejiang.

There is also the suppression of Japanese and bandits.

Layers deepened, this turmoil will be a terrible gunpowder, which will permeate the entire court, and this Ansheng life will be better in a few days.

Madam Yu looked at Zhou Linghuai: "If Zhejiang threatens the imperial court with naval forces again..."

Zhou Linghuai said calmly: "Seeking skins from tigers will eventually be backlashed. The Zhejiang capital can no longer control the situation in Zhejiang. The chaos in Zhejiang has been settled."

Old Madam Yu lowered her eyes and lightly twisted the beads.

The atmosphere in the room was a little dignified.

Song Mingzhao put down the tea cup: "I came here specially today to ask for something."

Hearing this, even Yu Youyao, who was holding a teacup and drooping her eyes, couldn't help raising her eyes and glanced at Song Mingzhao. She was really curious about what it was that made Song Mingzhao come to the Yu Mansion.
