Happy Marriage

One of the palace queens stammered and said: "It's not fair. Look at the silver ingot in the green hairpin's arms. It's the first-ranked scholar. The condition is obviously better than mine."

From what she said, she should be called Lu Ying.

An Sheng didn't pay attention to it so carefully. He listened to what she said and watched carefully. It really was.

This green shadow just cares about a lot, this is not good, that is not allowed, now that it is divided, it is critical again. It's just a little bit of silver, and it's no more than two copper plates up and down, but it doesn't even care about the friendship between the sisters.

Is the palace servant who is serving in front of the dignified concubine, so ignorant?

An Sheng took back the silver taels from the hands of several people, mixed them into a pile, and said with a smile: "Then please ask this Lvying elder sister to divide the eight silver ingots equally. How do you think it should be fair?"

The palace maid named Lu Ying thought for a while, and divided the silver ingots into two piles again. She felt dissatisfied, picked them again, carefully weighed them in the palm of her hand, and exchanged them again.

It's still a pile of four, but the color is different. And in the pile in front of Lu Ying, there are three silver coins of the champion and the first, obviously selfish.

"Is it sorted?" An Sheng asked.

Green Shadow nodded: "It's divided."

An Sheng turned his face to the hosta and said, "Come and pick a bunch first."

The green hairpin took the pile close to the green shadow and put it into his sleeve according to his words.

"Why should she choose first?" Lu Ying asked unconvinced.

An Sheng smiled slightly: "You have divided these silver coins equally, and you have said that they have been divided. I think it should be the most fair, and it is not bad. Then, who chooses first, what does it matter?"

Green Shadow was speechless.

"Little girl really is a little smart." A chuckle from the inner hall said, "It's hard to think of this little problem."

The voice was mellow and crisp, with a smile, like a pearl falling on a jade plate.

As soon as these words came out, several palace servants gathered their expressions on their faces, and stepped forward to lift the brocade tent. A beautiful woman with a towering bun and a yellow forehead, wearing a rouge embroidered phoenix robe, Behind the brocade tent, he slowly stepped out, raised his hands and gestures, and was full of extravagance and manners.

There is no doubt that this woman should be the concubine.

An Sheng often talked back to Yu Jingyun, no big or small, but he didn't dare to make trouble in front of Concubine Concubine, so he knelt down obediently and kowtowed to Concubine Concubine.

Concubine Concubine stepped out of the tent, glanced at An Sheng on the ground, and paused: "Why does it seem like you are still young, how old are you this year?"

An Sheng also felt a headache because of his slightly childish baby face. In the past, the small face was thin and could not be misunderstood, but now the face is rounded, and the skin is so strong that it can be broken by blowing bullets, but instead, it is always regarded as a child.

"Reporting to the maiden, An Sheng will be seventeen years old in the next year."

"Seventeen?" Concubine Concubine looked up and down at An Sheng again: "It looks like she is fourteen or five years old at most. This kind of appearance is not condescending, and there is no intimidating momentum at all. At most, it can only be counted as Xiaojiabiyu, which is not strong enough."

An Sheng lowered his head without saying a word, and just smiled at Concubine's rude comments on himself.

Concubine Concubine waved her hand, stepped forward and sat upright on the first couch, before she said lightly: "Be flat, please sit down."

An Sheng Xie En got up, lowered his head, sat down beside him, and the palace servant came forward and offered tea.

"At the beginning of your father's disaster, you made the first contribution. You originally thought that you were just a coincidence, but now it seems that you are indeed a little clever."

Listening to the sound, An Sheng understood the tone of Concubine Concubine's words, and the few palace servants just now were probably just acting for him. This was Concubine Concubine's temptation to him, right?

She pursed her lips: "An Sheng doesn't dare to take credit, he all relies on Yu Shizi to help."

Concubine Yan smiled: "Back then, the emperor wanted to reward you, and this palace was very curious. Why did you not want to be rewarded by the emperor, but instead chose something trivial?"

An Sheng just thought for a while: "An Sheng was born in a humble background, and he has never seen anything in the world, so he thinks that money comes as real money."

"Really?" The concubine looked at her meaningfully.

An Sheng's face was calm, and he nodded: "Yes."

Concubine Concubine chuckled, no longer entangled in this question, and instead asked: "I heard that you are now following Lengshen Medical Doctor?"

An Sheng nodded: "Report to the lady, yes."

"A girl's family, and a daughter of a boudoir, why do you want to show up and follow a man to study medicine? Is it possible that you still think about saving people in the future, and being a female Huatuo?"

"My sister in the house is not in good health, but fortunately she was treated by Leng Shenyi. However, because she was suffering from an old disease, she needed acupuncture as an auxiliary treatment on a daily basis. mental strength."

Concubine Concubine held up the tea cup at hand, and gently fiddled with the tea leaves floating on the water with the white jade cup cover, and said meaningfully: "But as far as I know, your mother has always treated you harshly, and you have no relationship with the two younger sisters in the house. Not being close can even be said to be incompatible. I didn’t expect you to be so righteous, you can be said to be stupid and kind!”

For the word "foolish and kind", Concubine Concubine emphasized her voice. Obviously, she was not very satisfied with An Sheng's answer, thinking it was just a high-sounding excuse.

An Sheng didn't change his face, and said slowly: "My sister's body has always been a problem for her father. She can't sleep at night, and she is worried. An Sheng may not have pity on her sister's body, but to solve his father's worries and problems, he must be filial."

The concubine nodded: "Then besides studying medicine, what other books have you read? Can you recite poetry and fu?"

An Sheng didn't take Concubine Concubine's questioning as a casual chat, there must be some reason.

She answered truthfully: "When I was a child, the mansion hired a Mr. Xi Xi to teach a few simple poems and books, but he was only able to read and write, but did not understand poetry and poetry."

Concubine Concubine frowned slightly dissatisfiedly: "What about music and dance?"

An Sheng shook his head: "I don't know."

"Female red?"

An Sheng became more and more ashamed: "I just learned a little superficial acupuncture from my sister, but I'm not proficient."

"In this way, you are not proficient in everything, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and poetry?"

An Sheng lowered his head and took a deep breath: "Hui Concubine, yes."

Concubine Concubine had obvious dissatisfaction on her face, and she put the tea cup heavily on the table: "It's useless! Then what skills did your mother teach you in the mansion?"

An Sheng spoke calmly and slowly spit out two words: "Make a living."

"Making a living?" Concubine Concubine snorted coldly, slightly disgusted: "Your mother raised you as a boy? How did I hear that your fourth younger sister was only learned and knowledgeable, and in a short period of time, she was in Beijing. Mixed up a little bit?"

An Sheng gave a soft "um": "I am stupid in aptitude, which disappoints my mother, so I didn't learn these elegant skills."

Concubine Concubine said solemnly: "Do you look down on these elegant talents and skills? This is called tutoring. From these skills, you can see how a girl's family tutoring is. Look at my Houfu, the women taught by the ancestors are all They can afford everything and put them down. No matter where they go, they are praised by others. That’s why our daughters from Dingguohou’s mansion are notoriously strict with family education, and daughters who have been brought up are also vying for marriage. "

When An Sheng heard this, he just felt inexplicable. Concubine Concubine was deliberately trying to test herself, and she raised her nose and eyes. What does it mean? How is your homeschooling, and what does it have to do with her? I didn't want to participate in the palace draft.

In addition, even if the daughter from Hou's mansion has no talent, she is also a family with a hundred daughters and a hundred families.

It's a pity that my life is a luxury. Where can there be such leisurely and leisurely learning of these "so-called upbringing" of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?

She lowered her head even more: "I'm disappointed with the empress."

The concubine sighed softly: "Last time about your father, the emperor praised you very much, and praised you for your loyalty and bravery. Therefore, this palace specially summoned you to enter the palace today to see what it looks like. , it is a beautiful thing to decide to keep you in the palace and accompany the king."

An Sheng was instantly shocked and raised his head in astonishment.

Concubine Concubine looked at her with a smile, and there was an unintelligible meaning in her eyes.

An Sheng almost didn't even think about it, he lifted the skirt, got up and knelt in front of Concubine Concubine, and rejected without thinking: "Qiqi Niangniang, An Sheng was born in a humble, vulgar, ignorant of writing and calligraphy, and does not understand elegance, so he is really not worthy of entering the palace. , Concubine Concubine, please think again."

Concubine Concubine slowly rubbed the reddish finger on her thumb and persuaded with a smile: "Although your background is not noble, but now you are the daughter of the servant, and your small appearance is very pleasing, It looks pure and elegant, as tender as a gardenia. That's enough."

An Sheng's face was flushed, a little flustered, not knowing how to reject her proposal. She was afraid that her words would offend her by being too abrupt, while being too tactful would make her feel that her attitude was not firm enough.

She shook her head resolutely: "The appearance is easy to get old, but it has been pleasing to the eyes for a few years. Only the elegant bearing like the empress is truly pleasing. An Sheng is a bird under the eaves, and his eyesight is also short-sighted. Make fun of An Sheng, An Sheng has self-knowledge."

"Are you sure you don't want to enter the palace? You must know that once you enter the palace, it will be a lifetime of glory, wealth and honor?"

Concubine Concubine still tentatively said.

An Sheng nodded firmly: "An Sheng is really unworthy."

"I don't know how to lift up!" Concubine Yan suddenly became angry, and as soon as she raised her hand, she threw the tea cup in front of An Sheng.

The flowers bloomed on the ground, and the tea splashed on An Sheng, flecks and spots.

An Sheng still lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head slowly: "An Sheng is guilty, please forgive me."

Concubine Concubine, who was sitting at the top, smiled slightly, with a look of admiration in her eyes, and glanced at Jinping next to her.

A little **** came hurriedly outside the hall, stood at the door of the hall, and replied in a low voice: "Qi, Concubine Concubine, the palace banquet is about to start. The emperor asks you to move to the Qianqing Palace."

Concubine Yan responded, and hummed at An Sheng: "Forget it, a twisted melon is not sweet. Since you don't want it, then that's all. Today, it's right as if I haven't mentioned it. Madam Lu, take An Sheng with you. The girl is going to the palace banquet."

Madam Lu just now responded, took two steps forward, and said to An Sheng, "Miss An Sheng, please come with this old slave."

An Sheng was instantly relieved, he let out a deep sigh of relief, kowtowed, got up and took three steps back before turning around and following Madam Lu out of the Jianjia Palace.
