Chapter 126, Value Exchange
After Young Master Zhao left, the three Shi Fuyin siblings were called to Yixiang Hall.
In Yixiang Hall, almost all of Shi's family members have arrived.
Today Shi Zhenghe was called into the palace by the emperor, for the Shi family, it is definitely a big deal.
Shi Zhenghe was first questioned by Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi about the story of Miansheng, and when Shi Zhengmao came back from his office, he was asked again.
Make sure he did nothing wrong, so everyone can rest assured.
There is no one who does not care about martial arts cheats.
Seeing Shi Zheng and his family's nonchalant expressions, Shi's family was very upset.
Do they know the value of these martial arts cheats?
Things have already happened, there is no point in talking too much.
After Shi Fuyin's sister and brother arrived, Mrs. Shi asked, "Do you really want to apply for the Imperial College and the National Women's College?"
Shi Fuyin nodded: "Yes, grandma, we signed up a few days ago."
Hearing this, Mrs. Shi couldn't help it: "Sister Yin, why didn't you tell the family in advance about such a big matter?"
It was Shi Fuxin who replied: "Auntie, we have talked to our parents, and they all agreed."
Mrs. Shi: "." She was talking about why she didn't tell the uncle's house!
At that time, the old lady said: "For Wu Lang and the others, it is enough for the fourth child and the fourth wife to agree."
As he spoke, he looked at Shi Fuyin and the others.
"What your eldest aunt means is that she is in charge of the house. It is a big deal to apply for the Imperial College and the National Women's College. If you need help, she can help you a little bit."
Shi immediately smiled and said, "Yes, yes, that's what I mean."
Shi Fuyin smiled and said: "Thank you grandma, thank you auntie, our affairs are trivial, and we don't need help from home for the time being."
Old lady Shi smiled and waved her hand: "This is not a trivial matter." Looking at Shi Fuyin, "It's not easy to break into the martial arts formation. There were also generals' daughters who broke into it before, but they were carried away in the end."
It is a very embarrassing thing for a girl's house to be taken away in public.
Shi Fuyin smiled: "Grandma, I will be careful."
Mrs. Shi looked at Shi Fuyin, and her impression of the second son's daughter was that she was quiet and steady, not particularly outstanding, but not too bad either.
The Shi family has many granddaughters. To be honest, she didn't value this third granddaughter very much before.
But at this moment, looking at the third granddaughter who is smiling with low brows and exuding confidence all over her body, Mrs. Shi realizes that she doesn't seem to know much about the second son's family.
After a moment of silence, Mrs. Shi looked at Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao again: "Mr. Beifeng, the female supervisor of the country, has a high attainment in temperament. But there has never been a student in his eyes."
Shi Dinghao was full of confidence: "Grandmother, don't worry, we borrowed Seventh Uncle's sheet music. There is a piece of music on it, which is said to be played to shake mountains and rivers. We have almost learned it, and the test will not be a problem."
Hearing this, Shi Zhengye looked a little uncomfortable. When he gave the music score, he thought it was two children playing around. How could he know that they were for the exam.
"Jiulang, the sheet music I gave you contains some ancient songs. Although they all have a lot of background, in fact, no one has ever heard of them. Maybe the exaggeration is exaggerated."
Shi Dinghao shook his head: "I'm not exaggerating. The song in it is really good. Uncle Seven, if you're not busy on the first day of March, go and see my sister and I take the exam. I promise you will never forget it."
After clarifying the difficulties of applying for the Imperial College and the National Women's College, everyone was silent when they saw the Shi Fuyin siblings who were still full of confidence.
"If you want to take the exam, you should prepare well. Everyone in the house will support you."
That night, Mrs. Shi had some insomnia, and Mrs. Shi couldn't sleep, so the old couple just lay on the bed and talked about themselves.
"Zhenghe's family has no sense of belonging to the mansion."
"Hey, it's also because we have done too little. In the past few months since we came back, we really haven't done anything for Zhenghe's family. It's understandable that they don't get close to the mansion."
"Didn't you think about taking your time before?"
"In the final analysis, we are still too shallow. Although you and I are doing our best to make up for what we owe to Zhenghe, what we can do is to let their family eat better and dress better. In terms of other things, whether it is Zhenghe's errands , or Goro's four studies, I didn't pay much attention to it."
"In our hearts, we still feel that they who came back from the border are of no use to the Bofu, so we ignore some obvious things."
Whether it is the purse that can regulate the body, or the rare red flame mink, and the martial arts cheats placed on the bookshelf, the second son's family did not hide these things from the house.
It is they who are blind and blind, and ignore these.
"Before King Duan left, he said that the emperor will select a group of imperial guards during the martial arts examination this year. I want to take Wulang to Dingguogong's mansion tomorrow, so that the old Dingguogong can guide Wulang on martial arts strategies."
"You decide."
Duke Ding's Mansion Xiahou's family owed Uncle Wuchang a favor, Mr. Shi originally wanted to wait for him a hundred years later, and let the eldest son ask for it, so that Dingguo Mansion could take care of the Shi family.
After hearing King Duan's words, Mrs. Shi hesitated again and again, but decided to use this favor on the second son's family.
Goro is very good at kung fu, but he lacks a lot of knowledge. The old Duke Xiahou once served as the supervisor of martial arts to sacrifice wine. With his advice, Goro will definitely be able to go to high school in the martial arts exam.
"You come and tell Zheng Mao and the others about this."
"Well, after this incident, if the boss and the others are smart, they should know how to deal with the Zhenghe family."
Early the next morning, Shi Dingxuan had just finished practicing a set of boxing techniques when Manager Shi came to call him.
During breakfast, Shi Fuxin didn't know that Shi Dingxuan had gone out with Mrs. Shi, and when she came back in the afternoon, she was told that Shi Dingxuan would go to Dingguo Mansion to attend lectures every day in the future.
The Xiahou family in Dingguo Duke's Mansion can be called the Dinghai Shenzhen of Great Chu, and every Duke of Ding is a well-known general.
"Your uncle's residence actually has contacts with Xiahou's family!"
Master Zhao started to play with Shi Dinghao again, and he was surprised when he heard that Shi Dingxuan was taught by Grandpa Xiahou himself.
Shi Dinghao was unhappy: "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. After all, our uncle's mansion is the founder of the country. Isn't it normal to have contacts with Dingguo's mansion?"
Master Zhao: "The old man is in his eighties this year, and his vision is high. At the beginning, my brother wanted to worship him as a teacher, but he directly rejected him. How could he agree to teach your brother?"
Shi Dinghao: "Why else, of course my brother is better than your brother."
Next, the two had a heated discussion about whose elder brother was stronger.
In the side hall, Shi Fuxin was cleaning the guqin and nine-section flute that Nanny An had just brought over, looking at the sword in Shi Fuyin's hand from time to time: "This is a good sword!"
Shi Fuyin nodded fondly: "I didn't expect there to be such a good sword in the mansion."
Shi Fuxin looked at the guqin and nine-section flute in her hands. Although they were not as good as those given by her apprentice, the quality was considered top-notch: "At any rate, he is a founding nobleman. It is not unusual to have a few good things."
Shi Fuyin paused for a moment: "Sister Xin, I really understand what you said before, only those who are valuable will be valued. If we are worthless, these good things will not fall into our hands."
As he spoke, he took another look at Young Master Zhao who was fighting with Shi Dinghao.
"The people in the capital are indeed very realistic."
Shi Fuxin smiled: "Sister, people everywhere are like this, just seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. We took the initiative to hook up with the Zhao family, didn't we also want to take advantage of the opportunity?"
"It's not terrible to be used, just exchange it with the corresponding value." As he said, he plucked the strings, and suddenly, the melodious sound of the piano poured out like flowing water.
On February 22nd, Shi Zhenghe was promoted to be the seventh-rank deputy commander of Beicheng Bingma Sizheng.
For this reason, the uncle's mansion held a celebration banquet. Although only a few tables were set up and acquainted in-laws and members of the Shi clan were invited, it also made Shi Zhenghe feel the importance of his family. experienced.
"Father is so happy today, he drank a lot of wine."
Seeing that Shi Zhenghe accepted the toasts offered by everyone without hesitation, Shi Fuxin smiled and said, "Of course I am happy when my value is seen and recognized by others."
Shi Dinghao muttered: "Father seems to have never been so happy. Could it be that we care too little for him?"
Shi Fuxin: "Happiness and happiness are different. We care about Dad, and Dad is happy because of the care of relatives. But to live in this world, besides relatives, you also need the attention and approval of other people."
"When I was in the Li family, my father never received the care and attention of the Li family. Now that I have returned to the uncle's house, I actually really want my grandparents to look up to me."
Shi Dinghao nodded thoughtfully, and then suddenly said: "It seems that I will praise my father more in the future, and make him so happy."
Shi Fuxin had a black line in her head: "You are a son. If you praise your father, it's no wonder that your father is happy." After speaking, he ignored him and buried his head in eating.
The general enrollment of the Imperial Academy and the National Women’s Academy began in mid-February. As long as the assessment meets the admission standards, you can enter the school.
This kind of ordinary exam that tests knowledge is nothing to watch, and people don't pay much attention to it, but the assessment of special talents has attracted a lot of attention.
Especially when I learned that several girls are going to enter the Jiugongge martial arts formation this year.
Men enter the martial arts formation every year, and it is not surprising to see too many of them. Girls entering the martial arts formation are very rare, so they naturally attract people's attention.
Guozijian and Guowomenjian are built adjacent to each other, located in the northwest of the inner city.
Every year from mid-February to early March, the inns and restaurants in this area will be full, and too many students come from all over the country, with the purpose of entering the highest university in Dachu.
In recent years, the Shi family has not paid much attention to the National Women's Supervisor and Guozijian.
Without him, no one in the family could pass the exam anyway.
But this year, everyone in the Shi family is paying close attention to the assessment of the special senior students of the National Women's Supervision and Imperial College.
No way, there are three candidates at home.
When Shi Dinghao was admitted to the Imperial College, the Shi family also paid attention to it, but not so much. What the Shi family really cared about now was Shi Fuyin and Shi Fuxin's application to the Imperial College for Women.
As a women's college supervised by Empress Wende herself, all girls from Dachu are proud of being able to study in the National Women's College.
As long as the two of them can be admitted to the National Women's Prison, it will be a great thing for all the girls in the Shi family. In the future, if they talk about getting married, they will also be able to make people look up to them because they have sisters who are studying in the National Women's Prison.
As the first day of March drew closer, Mrs. Shi became a little nervous.
But looking at the three grandchildren who were calm and unhurried as usual, I felt the helplessness of the emperor not rushing to kill the eunuch.
