Poor Family Chapter 104

Chapter 104, Quota

The royal winter hunt in the Laba Festival has many participants. For many noble officials, it is the best opportunity to make friends with nobles. Therefore, many officials racked their brains to participate in the winter hunt.

On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, Shi Yuhua and Zeng Yuwei came to the Shi Mansion one after the other. One was to pay respects to Mrs. Shi, and the other was for winter hunting.

"Mother, the Wei family got the chance to go to the paddock this time, and the daughter immediately wanted to go home."

Shi Yuhua looked at Mrs. Shi, Mrs. Fifth, and Mrs. Shi Qi with a smile, and directly ignored Jin Yue'e: "I can bring two more girls here, sister-in-law, fifth sibling, and seventh sibling. Let's see which two girls to let in the family." go."

As soon as the words came out, Zeng Yuwei immediately took the words: "Mother, my mother's side will also go to the paddock, and I can also bring two more girls with me."

Listening to the words of the two, Mrs. Shi had a smile on her face, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, especially her daughter's attitude towards Jin made her liver hurt from anger.

Obviously, regarding the purse, not only did the daughter not have a long memory, but she also hated the second son's family.

As for Mrs. Zeng, looking at the unconcealable pride in her eyes, Mrs. Shi had a clear mind for her.

After the second son's family came back, although Zhengkun's family was very quiet, they were quite serious in their hearts. They just didn't have a chance before, but this time they found an opportunity, they couldn't help showing off.

Seeing the three daughters-in-law's obviously disturbed expressions, Mrs. Shi pursed her lips and said nothing.

Mrs. Shi Wu couldn't help it first: "Mother, the girl in the family hasn't gone out to socialize for a long time. Winter hunting is a rare event in the capital. When the girl in the family goes, she can meet more people."

Shi's old lady rolled her eyelids lightly: "The child is yours, you can handle it yourself."

Hearing this, Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi Qi both secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

But soon, the two frowned again. There are nine girls in the family, but they can only go to four

Mrs. Shi smiled and looked at Shi Yuhua: "Her second aunt, you love the girls in your family the most, and winter hunting is a great opportunity to gain knowledge. Otherwise, you can take all the girls in your family to see the world." Bar?"

Shi Yuhua showed a look of embarrassment on his face: "Sister-in-law, aren't you giving me a problem? I can take two girls out of the Shi family. I have already used my boss's strength to fight for it. No matter how much, my mother-in-law It's time to find me again.”

As he spoke, he glanced at the silent Jin Yuee.

"Besides, the girls of the Shi family have a big temper, and they always contradict their elders. I don't dare to take them out to embarrass them."

"boom!"

The old lady put the tea bowl on the table heavily, and looked at Shi Yuhua coldly: "Okay, you have also been invited, so what should you do, don't stick to me."

Seeing Mrs. Shi getting angry, Mrs. Shi quickly stood up and grabbed Shi Yuhua, who was still about to say something, and said with a smile: "Second sister and Zhengkun's wife haven't come to the mansion for a while, go and sit with me."

Shi Yuhua was angry at Mrs. Shi's partiality to Shi Zhenghe's family, so she blessed Mrs. Shi hastily, then turned and went out.

As soon as she left, Zeng Yuwei, Mrs. Shi Wu, and Mrs. Shi Qi also left one after another.

Jin Yuee waited for everyone to leave before getting up.

When the old lady looked at Jin Yue'e, seeing that there was no strange emotion on her face, she waved her to sit down: "Sit down, let's talk for a while."

Jin Yuee nodded and sat down again.

Mrs. Shi: "There is no class today, what are Goro and the others doing?"

Jin Yuee replied truthfully: "Wu Lang and sister Yin are reading in the room, while sister Xin and Jiu Lang have gone out to play."

The old lady nodded her head: "Wu Lang and Sister Yin are good boys, and they know how to work hard, which is very good." Then, she paused, "Sister Xin and Jiu Lang like to go out of the house very much."

Jin Yue'e nodded and said with a smile: "Mother, these two children are very active since they were young. Let them sit all the time. They will definitely not be able to sit still."

Mrs. Shi: "I heard that the two children don't like to take people with them when they go out of the house. You have to talk to them about this. Although the security in the capital is better than other places, there are quite a lot of troubles. Don't make troubles. There is no one who has passed on the message."

Jin Yue'e hurriedly said: "Mother, I made a note, and I will tell them when they come back."

Shi was silent for a while: "Your second sister, that's it, that's it. If she wants to say something unpleasant in the future, just ignore it and don't take it to heart."

Jin Yuee nodded and said nothing.

At the same time, Zhao Mansion.

Mr. Zhao just walked out of the house with Mr. Zhao, and the two brothers were about to go to Tengyun Racecourse for an appointment, when they saw Shi Dinghao walking out from behind the stone lion outside their house with a chubby little girl.

Young Master Zhao's eyes widened, and he pointed at Shi Fuxin: "Jiulang, who is she?"

Shi Dinghao first saluted Mr. Zhao with his hands clasped fists, and then replied: "This is my twin sister."

Shi Fuxin accepted the conversation with a smile, and introduced herself: "I am the sixth in Shi's family, so you can just call me Miss Six."

Young Master Zhao glanced at Shi Fuxin, and pulled Shi Dinghao over: "Why did you bring your sister to my house?" He said with a vigilant face, crossing his hands in front of his chest, "You don't mean to blackmail me, do you?" ?”

Shi Dinghao was speechless: "Why should I blackmail you?"

Young Master Zhao raised his chin: "I told you that my jade cabbage will be given to my future daughter-in-law in the future. Your sister has worn my jade cabbage before, so... are you eyeing me?"

Shi Dinghao rolled his eyes and said, "Just you? Don't talk about my sister, I don't even like you, you better stop daydreaming here."

The eldest son Zhao who was waiting at the side looked at Shi Dinghao's disgusted expression, raised his brows, and moved his eyes to the little girl next to him.

When the little girl saw him looking over, she immediately returned a bright smile.

Well.

Sure enough, they are twins, they are all like this. Clear!

Young Master Zhao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that he was not here to blackmail him: "What are you doing at my house?"

Shi Dinghao: "Of course I'm looking for you."

Young Master Zhao: "What do you want from me?"

Shi Dinghao: "Didn't you say we are brothers? Since we are brothers, do I need a reason to come to you?"

This logic

Master Zhao looked at Shi Dinghao who took it for granted, and then at Shi Fuxin, who was very well-behaved, with a smile in his eyes.

The family of Shi's fourth bedroom is really interesting.

Shi Dinghao touched Young Master Zhao with his arm: "Are you going out? Where are you going?"

Master Zhao: "We're going to race at the racetrack."

Shi Dinghao's eyes lit up: "Can you take us there? We haven't seen the racetrack in the capital yet."

Shi Fuxin also looked at Young Master Zhao expectantly.

After returning to the uncle's mansion, both Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao gained a lot of fat because of eating well, their already round faces became even rounder now, coupled with big round and flickering eyes, they looked harmless to humans and animals Zhao Xiaogong couldn't stand it at all, and couldn't say no to it, so he could only turn to his brother for help.

Master Zhao knew that the silly brother couldn't handle the siblings. Thinking of the ointment he had received earlier, he asked with a smile, "Can you guys ride horses?"

Shi Dinghao and Shi Fuxin nodded together: "Yes."

Master Zhao: "Then let's go together."

Originally, Mr. Zhao was going to take his younger brother to ride a horse to the racecourse, but now that there is an extra Shi Fuxin, he can only ask his servants to prepare the carriage.

When Shi Fuxin saw that he didn't think he was troublesome, and instead thoughtfully arranged a carriage, her impression of Zhao's family improved a bit.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being a celebrity around the emperor, and he is thoughtful in his words and actions.

The carriage was very big, Eldest Master Zhao didn't ride the horse at all, and sat in the carriage with Young Master Zhao, Shi Dinghao, and Shi Fuxin.

In the carriage, Shi Dinghao and Young Master Zhao chattered non-stop, while Shi Fuxin lay in front of the car window, looking at the street scene outside comfortably.

Master Zhao sized up Shi Fuxin several times, was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Sixth sister, aren't you cold?"

Shi Fuxin immediately climbed up the pole, referring to Mr. Zhao as Brother Zhao: "Don't worry, Brother Zhao, I'm in good health."

The corner of Mr. Zhao's mouth twitched: "I see that your family is in good health. Your father, your elder brother, and your younger brother are all in good health. Even the sixth younger sister, you are much better than ordinary girls. Your family Is there any way to maintain it?"

Shi Fuxin smiled brightly, and didn't mind revealing some value: "The body is the root of everything, so it should be cherished, and naturally it must be well maintained."

Eldest Master Zhao also smiled, showing his white teeth.

This answer. Answered and did not answer.

Master Zhao was silent for a while, and then said: "I met Young Lord Cai in the palace before."

When Dinghao heard this, he immediately asked, "Has he recovered?"

Master Zhao nodded: "I look pretty good, but I didn't recover as quickly as my uncle. I heard that my uncle started to run darts after only a few months of training?"

Shi Dinghao said 'Hi': "My father is strong, so he will naturally recover quickly."

Master Zhao looked at Shi Dinghao's supposed expression, then looked at Shi Fuxin who was still looking at the scenery outside the window, thought for a while, and asked again: "Thank you for the ointment, it works very well."

The ointment was really effective. He only applied it for one night, and his arm, which originally needed ten days and half a month of training to fully heal, could move freely the next day.

The two punches with Shi Dingxuan caused his whole arm to go numb, and he was worried that it would affect the winter hunting. Unexpectedly, the ointment sent by Shi's family relieved his worries immediately.

Shi Dinghao: "Of course the effect is good. If it's not good, we won't give it to you."

Master Zhao: "I don't know where you bought this ointment. Our family is all generals, and injuries are commonplace. I want to prepare some."

Shi Fuxin looked away from the window, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, the ointment was bought at Shennongtang before we returned to Beijing."

Master Zhao paused: "Shen Nong Hall?"

Shi Fuxin nodded: "Well, the medicines sold by Shennongtang are very good, so we stocked some for emergencies."

Young Master Zhao interrupted: "Shen Nong Tang? Medicine seller? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Shi Dinghao: "Shen Nong Tang was just opened, of course you don't know it. Anyway, their medicine is good, and they are quite famous in Rongcheng."

Shi Fuxin added: "I heard that the Northwest Frontier Army also manages Shennongtang to get medicine."

Master Zhao immediately raised his brows, looked at Shi Dinghao and Shi Fuxin thoughtfully, and silently remembered Shennongtang in his heart.

While talking, the Tengyun Racecourse located in the northeast of the inner city arrived.

"Didn't you say that your brother will rely on martial arts next year? Did you see that, there is the martial arts supervisor over there, and there are many people with great kung fu."

"The Martial Arts Supervisor is surrounded by various martial arts gyms. There is also a special arena here for people to compete. You can ask your brother to come and have a look and learn about other people's skills."

Young Master Zhao introduced the surrounding situation to Shi Dinghao and Shi Fuxin while walking.

"The Martial Arts Supervisor is in the northeast, and the Imperial College and the Imperial Women's Institute are in the northwest. It's actually quite easy to find."

Speaking of Guozijian, Young Master Zhao smiled triumphantly: "In February next year, I will go to the Guozijian to study."

Shi Dinghao looked disbelieving: "Can you pass the exam?"

Master Zhao said 'cut': "I don't need to take the exam. The imperial court gives preferential treatment to meritorious ministers. It allows one of the heirs in the family to be exempted from being admitted to the Imperial College. If my brother can't use this quota, it will be easier for me."

Shi Dinghao showed envy: "You are really lucky."

Master Zhao chuckled: "I can't help it, who made me have a good father."

Mr. Zhao didn't see his younger brother's shyness, so he interrupted him: "Okay, let's go to the racecourse."

Tengyun Racecourse is the largest racecourse in the inner city. It covers a wide area and has stands. On weekdays, only guests with racecourse tokens are accepted.

The people who come here to race horses are all young men and ladies who have status, status, and leisure time.

Eldest Master Zhao led the three of Young Master Zhao to the entrance of the racecourse, and they were released only after showing their tokens.

When Dinghao saw it, he muttered: "Why are there so many places in the capital that you can't enter and exit at will?"

Shi Fuxin replied: "Because of this, the privilege can be manifested."

Mr. Zhao glanced at her, and once again sighed in his heart that the Shi family's newly returned Sifang family was unusual, and said with a smile: "Don't you know how to ride horses? The horses in the racecourse are all good horses. Go choose one If you are pleasing to the eye, run two laps."

Shi Dinghao said, "Do you want money?"

Master Zhao paused for a moment, then laughed and said: "Since I brought you here, I will naturally pay for it."

Shi Dinghao smiled embarrassedly: "Brother Zhao, you are too kind."

The eldest son Zhao had already seen his friend, and after instructing his younger brother, he walked towards the friend.

As soon as he left, Young Master Zhao took Shi Dinghao and Shi Fuxin straight to the stable.

The racecourse is very lively and crowded, among them there are many girls who ride horses and gallop on the racecourse, which is not inferior to men at all.

"Those girls are very good at equestrian skills!" Shi Fuxin was a little surprised, she didn't expect the girls in the capital to live such a carefree life.

Master Zhao took a look: "They are all from the National Women's Academy. The National Women's Academy has a special polo team and Cuju team. Those girls are all very good."

Shi Fuxin became interested: "The National Women's Prison also teaches polo and Cuju?"

Young Master Zhao: "Although the Imperial Academy and the National Women's Academy focus on liberal arts, they have not neglected the physical exercise of the students. Every year at the end of summer and the end of the year, the Imperial Academy, the National Academy of Women's Academy, and the Academy of Martial Arts will hold competitions. The emperor and queen will go to see them." .”

Shi Dinghao immediately asked: "What game?"

Young Master Zhao shook his head: "Every year is different, and I don't know the details, because I haven't participated in it. But I will know next year, and I will tell you when the time comes."

Shi Dinghao curled his lips: "You don't need to tell us next year, I will also take the Imperial College entrance examination."

This time it was the turn of Young Master Zhao to express disbelief: "You? Your knowledge is probably not as good as mine, you can pass the exam?"

Shi Dinghao is not particularly confident, but his momentum cannot be lost: "Just wait and see."

Young Master Zhao let out a heck, thinking that Shi Dinghao was bragging.

Shi Fuxin suddenly asked: "Brother Zhao, isn't the Imperial Academy and the National Women's Academy able to enter with special skills? Are there any restrictions on this specialty?"

Because he is going to study at the Imperial College, Young Master Zhao has really learned about the Imperial College, so he can answer this question: "There is no limit, as long as the specialty can conquer the Jijiu crowd, you can enter."

Said, squinting at Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao.

"Why, do you want to use your expertise to get in?"

When Shi Dinghao was about to answer, Shi Fuxin stopped him: "This is a secret."

Young Master Zhao gave a 'cut': "I don't care to know."
