Chapter 289 Good Intentions



Cheng Yue had already confirmed that Lord Ji was her second sister-in-law's brother. Now hearing Cheng Wu say this, she had a feeling that Lord Ji wanted to help Cheng Wu.

In ancient times, people paid great attention to matching the social status of the two people when getting married.

Ji Feifei is the legitimate daughter of General Zhennan. Even if General Zhennan does not have such high requirements for family background, what about the Jibei Marquisate?

Don't forget, Ji Feifei is not only the general's legitimate daughter, but also the legitimate granddaughter of Ji Beihou.

In the Cheng family, only Cheng Wu, Cheng Jinyan and Cheng Jin can improve their status.

Jin Yan can change by taking the imperial examination, but Cheng Wu and Jin Xing may only be able to change by taking the martial arts examination.

But Cheng Wu was at the maximum age for the military examination, so Cheng Jin was the only one left.

Maybe in Lord Ji's opinion, Cheng Wen of the Cheng family is not smart. As long as Cheng Wen is alive, the Cheng family will not split up. The glory of the two nephews has a lot to do with this uncle.

Of course, as an aunt, she was naturally not within the consideration of Lord Ji.

If Lord Ji really thought so, Cheng Yue had to say that he was really thinking about Cheng Wu, or maybe it could be said that he was thinking about his sister.

Cheng Yue knew about the martial arts examination in Da Qi. He remembered that Cheng Wu had participated in it once but was eliminated in the first round.

It’s not because Cheng Wu is incompetent, but because Cheng Wu is unlucky. Before the exam, he was injured while catching a thief and missed the previous martial arts exam.

The military examination in Da Qi is held every four years, and this autumn is the first one.

The pattern is that in September, ten people are elected from each county through a competition. Then in March of the following year, ten people from each county go to the provincial capital, and ten more are selected through a competition. Finally, they go to the capital to participate in the final.

There are a total of 27 prefectures and cities in Da Qi, large and small, which means 270 people, plus 30 people elected from the capital, a total of 300 people.

Compete for the final ten places, these ten places can be directly granted official positions, and of course the emperor can also select guards from them.

As for the remaining two hundred or so, some were selected by the emperor, but more were chosen by the Ministry of War and generals to join the camp.

Cheng Jinxing will be fifteen this autumn, just the right age to participate.

With Lord Ji as his guarantor, at least he could get out of the county and participate in the competition in the provincial capital.

The competition in the capital city will be held in March of next year, which means he still has a year to study. Lord Ji was born in the General's Mansion. If he wants to find a master for Jin Xing, he will definitely find a good one.

Therefore, Cheng Jinxing still has great hope of breaking out of the city.

Cheng Yue became more and more interested in her second sister-in-law.

She even wondered if her second sister-in-law would run away from home again since she had been away for almost ten months, almost a year.

"Ayue, what do you think?"

Cheng Yue, who was in a trance, was pushed by Gu Xuelan and came back to his senses.

"Hmm? What? What did you say, sister-in-law?"

Cheng Yue didn't hear what her family members were saying just now.

"You silly girl, we're at home talking about serious business! What are you staring at? You're not doing a very good job as the head of the household!"

Cheng Shun knocked Cheng Yue on the head and cursed.

"Ayue, we were just talking about asking Aunt Cuifen and Lanhua tomorrow morning if they are free. If they are, come and help us string the skewers. We'll give them ten cents a day."

Gu Xuelan hurriedly explained to prevent Cheng Shun from scolding her any further.

"Sure! I'll just ask while I'm running!"

Cheng Yue rubbed his head and said.
