Family Has a Concubine

Chapter 109 Exam Preparation (Part 2)

Ye Tangcai was about to walk into the Hanging Flower Gate, but when she didn't want to, there was a sound of carriage hooves behind her.

Ye Tangcai saw that it was the family's carriage, and finally stopped not far away. Ruxue jumped out of the car and helped Mrs. Sun down.

Seeing the two of them, Ye Tang raised an eyebrow.

Qiuju was happy, her mouth hurt, and she ran forward to imitate Sun's previous tone: "Oh, isn't this the second wife, where is the second wife? Did she come back from the house of her daughter who is about to become a relative of the emperor?" ?”

Sun was so angry that his face turned blue and white, and he stretched out his hand to hit him: "You little bastard, see if I don't beat you to death."

"What is Second Aunt doing?" Ye Tangcai sneered and stepped forward.

Qiuju slipped away a long time ago and hid behind Ye Tangcai to make a face, "Why did the second wife hit me? You said it yourself before, so I'm just asking."

Mrs. Sun was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. She was slapped in the face as much as she used to be.

Zhang Manman's well-behaved prince and side concubine were removed from the list, and the reason was caused by Ye Licai's elopement with Zhang Boyuan.

Mrs. Sun was too frightened to go out, but thinking of her daughter's pregnancy and not knowing what would happen to her in the Zhang family, she went out to see her again. When I arrived at Zhang's house, I was relieved to see that she was depressed and her stomach was still there.

"Is this how my aunt disciplines her servants?" Sun said angrily. He sneered again, and said darkly: "It's a temporary thing for others to make jokes, but marrying a bastard is a lifetime thing!"

Qiuju and Huiran's faces darkened.

"My sister Li is raising her baby with peace of mind, and she will give birth to a fat boy next year." As she spoke, she swept Ye Tangcai's slim waist, which is rare for Ye Tangcai to wear a cross-collar jacket today. "It's been almost half a year since we got married, my aunt really has a good figure, other people's stomachs are bulging, but my aunt still has a small waist, I don't know how her belly grows." sarcastically Ye Tangcai Cannot bear children.

He also said: "It's already July now, and it will be Qiu Wei in less than a month. The ladies of other people's families are either raising babies at home, or waiting for their husbands to study, so that he can prepare for the scientific examination with peace of mind. The eldest aunt is busy all day long, so she will be able to get married." Skipping around."

Ye Tangcai sneered: "Then wish Zhang Boyuan good luck! I hope he can pass the exam."

In his previous life, Zhang Boyuan failed the exam, and when he came back, he said that it was because of marrying her that he was distracted from preparing for the exam, and finally failed the exam.

Now she wanted to see if it was because of her that he failed.

Sun snorted coldly, and didn't look at who her son-in-law was, he was a young scholar! When her son-in-law wins the Juren, and next year Chunwei wins the first prize of Jinshi, today's shame will be wiped away.

Mrs. Sun has already stepped into the vertical flower gate, turned and left.

...

Ye Tangcai returned to the Rongguiyuan, and Nanny Cai was arranging flowers and plants in the courtyard. When she saw Ye Tangcai coming in, she hurriedly got up: "Miss, come back..."

"Hush." ​​Ye Tangcai put her finger on her lips and made a silent gesture. She walked over, pulled Nanny Cai, and walked to the corridor of the west wing, "Is my mother much better?"

"Of course it's much better." Nanny Cai said with a smile, "Especially with the news from the Zhang family, the scandal between Ye Licai and Zhang Boyuan has finally brought about bad results. It's just retribution, and Madam's mood has eased."

"Ye Chengde hasn't come back, has he?" Ye Tangcai said

Madam Cai shook her head, saying no.

"Has my brother been here?" Ye Tangcai said.

Cai Momo's face was full of anger, and her voice became cold: "No." What happened last time was so obvious that everyone knew that Ye Yun was facing the outer room.

Ye Tangcai's face turned black, she was really heartless, she didn't even come back to take a look at her mother when she was sick, she only cared about pleasing the outsiders.

"Sister Tang is here?" Wen's voice came from the room.

"Mother." Ye Tang answered, and then walked into the room.

Wen was in the Xici room, holding a plum blossom net in his hand, and when he saw Ye Tangcai walk in, he beckoned: "Come here, let's compare whether it is suitable or not."

Ye Tangcai walked over to let her compare and scrutinize her carefully. Seeing that she was wearing homely clothes, and she was a little thinner, but her face was still bloody, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Mother, we haven't been to Zhuangzi this year, why don't we go to my Zhuangzi to recuperate for a few days? "

Wen was startled and frowned: "It's July now, how can anyone go out in July? Soon it will be the Ghost Festival again, so let's not go!"

Ye Tangcai frowned, she was afraid that Ye Chengde would attack Wen's. But living in Zhuangzi, there are few people in Zhuangzi... It seems that it is easier to attack?

"Go to your grandmother's place to say hello." Wen said with a smile.

"Okay." Ye Tangcai stood up and left.

After leaving the gate of the Rongguiyuan, along the riverside in the mansion, we arrived at the Anning Hall in a short while. Walking into the courtyard door, Ye Lingjiao was standing on the porch of the east wing.

"Sister Tang." Ye Lingjiao curled her lips, "You've made it."

Ye Tangcai smiled and said, "You know I'm going back to my mother's house so soon?"

"That's right! I don't want to look at who is the housekeeper now." Ye Ling smiled coquettishly, "There are women at the Chuihua Gate. I confessed that if Sister Tang came back, she would report to me immediately. I was about to I went to see you, and here you are."

Walking over while talking, "Come on, please greet my mother."

The two walked into the Anning Hall arm in arm. Ye Tangcai greeted Mrs. Miao and sat on the armchair.

"How much wild ginseng do you have at home?" Mrs. Miao asked Ye Lingjiao.

"There are still five or six!" Ye Lingjiao thought for a while, "There are too many gifts, Zhuang Guohou's mansion, Chen's house, Lu's house... There are people doing scientific research, and the references at home are all given away as gifts. It's up there."

There is a custom of giving ginseng during the Daqi scientific expedition. This was started by the poor.

Poor people have no money, so they are usually reluctant to eat ginseng, but their students are precious, so in order to make up for the children who are preparing for scientific examinations, they have to buy a few slices of ginseng to make up for the children. When some relatives saw it, they also gave these students ginseng to make them healthy.

When the people rise up, it becomes a custom.

The aristocrats and wealthy families were not short of money, so they usually ate ginseng whenever they wanted, but they didn’t eat ginseng in scientific examinations, and if they didn’t accept ginseng, it seemed like they would fail in the examination, so it became popular.

"I'll also give a copy to Sister Tang's husband-in-law," said Miao.

"It's been prepared a long time ago. I didn't expect that she would come to ask for it before I delivered it." Ye Lingjiao laughed.

Ye Tangcai was stunned: "Oh, no need, he doesn't take the exam."

"Don't take the test?" Ye Lingjiao tilted her head, "But last time when Ye Licai came back, your father...cough, didn't you let him go? I obviously heard that he agreed."

"Yes!" Miao nodded, and she could hear it clearly. In any case, if he wants to end, he has to give a copy.

Chu Yunpan said before that it was not scientific, but later he accepted Ye Chengde's words, I don't know if it was casual or something else. Ye Tangcai thought about it, and no longer refused the gift prepared by Ye Lingjiao.

A Pei went down and came back after a while, holding a copy of the Four Treasures of the Study and two nanmu boxes in his hand. This is ginseng.

"Grandmother... sister-in-law." At this moment, the hard plywood curtain outside was pulled up, and Ye Yun walked in.

Seeing Ye Yun, Ye Tangcai's eyes flashed mockingly.

Ye Yun walked into the Xici room, and unexpectedly saw Ye Tangcai came back, his handsome face was full of uneasiness, and he smiled embarrassingly: "Why is my sister here?"

Ye Tang gave a sneer: "Why, I can't be here?"

"I didn't mean that, why do you like to misinterpret people?" Ye Yun frowned deeply.

So, why both father and he love to get close to Aunt Ting, because Aunt Ting would not be so cynical. It is obvious that they themselves do not know how to be human, but they blame him for being close to others.

"What's the matter with Brother Yun?" Ye Lingjiao asked very bluntly, because Ye Yun really rarely came here.

"Isn't the scientific research going to send ginseng? I just thought..."

"What are you thinking?" Ye Lingjiao sneered. She guessed it with her heel, and Ye Yun wanted to give Xu Rui a copy. It's not that I'm greedy for these ginseng, but I want this kindness. "Oh, I understand. Recently, you have to give away ginseng for scientific research. You are afraid that you will run out of ginseng at home, so you didn't save some for your sister-in-law?"

Ye Junjun's face froze. When it came to this point, he couldn't bring it up again. He just said, "I'll just ask a question. I'll go back first!" Then he left in a hurry.

"It's really getting worse and worse. The big one is like that, and the small one is also like that." Miao shook her head.

Just as he was talking, the curtain was opened again, and Ye Hewen walked in sullenly.

"Father." Ye Lingjiao called out, stood up quickly, and gave up the seat she was sitting on.

Ye Hewen glanced at Ye Tangcai: "I'm back."

"Yes, grandfather." Ye Tangcai replied flatly.

Ye Hewen's expression became more subtle.

He's been bored these days. Zhang Manman's dismissal meant that his plan to get close to the prince through Zhang Manman was aborted! This is all because of Ye Licai! Ye Hewen was so angry that his heart ached! If she hadn't snatched the marriage back then, if she had married a big girl, how could there be so many things!

So now seeing Ye Tangcai, Ye Hewen was entangled in various ways.

"Grandfather, grandmother, sister, it's getting late, I'm going back first." Ye Tangcai picked up the ginseng and table gifts that Ye Lingjiao gave her.

"Let's go, tell your mother too." Miao said.

Ye Tang saluted and went out. Go back and say goodbye to Wen, and go back to Dingguobo Mansion by car.

Back to Xikua Garden in Dingguobo Mansion, instead of going back to Qiongmingxuan, I went to Lanzhuju.

Yu Han is watering the flowers in the courtyard, and Yu Yang is sweeping the floor.

Seeing that both of them were there, Ye Tangcai knew that Chu Yunpan hadn't gone out. He used to go to class in the morning and go out in the afternoon.

"Where is the third master?" Ye Tangcai said.

"Small study." Yu Yang yawned lazily.

Ye Tangcai walked into Lan Zhuju's small study room, and saw Chu Yunpan reading a book in front of the big desk, and the cover was actually one of the four books.

Ye Tang was taken aback: "Is the third master really going to end?"

Chu Yunpan put down the book, his handsome face flushed slightly: "Yes. I don't go out recently, and I'm preparing for the exam at home."

Ye Tangcai put the ginseng and gifts on the desk: "This is the right one."

Chu Yunpan naturally knew what it was, and raised his eyebrows: "Have you already started giving this?"

"That's right, Qiu Wei is on August 16th, and there is still one and a half months left, so of course we have to send it off." Ye Tangcai said with a smile.

"I'll go and tell my father, let him apply for the exam for me!" Chu Yunpan said and stood up.

"You haven't applied for the exam yet? The deadline was three months ago." Ye Tangcai said anxiously.

"The capital can be later." Chu Yunpan walked around the desk and left the room.

Chu Yunpan went to Uncle Chu's study first, but couldn't find anyone. The young man there said he was in Yixiangyuan, so Chu Yunpan had to go to Yixiangyuan.

Yixiangyuan is now full of people, because Chu Congke's fiancée Xue Yinger came, and with her was an old nanny, who was the confidant of Xue Yinger's mistress. I came today and wanted to talk about Chu Congke and Xue Yinger marriage.

"This is a gift for the scientific examination." The nun smiled and brought the ginseng and table gifts. "I hope that Second Master Chu will be able to enter high school this year.

The Qin family smiled lukewarmly, but Uncle Chu was very happy: "I accept your precious words."

Aunt Fei had a proud face: "This year, my master praises his progress in theories."

The Qin family knocked a melon seed, snorted, and ended every year, and missed every year, can they really win today?

Chu Congke was certainly happy hearing the auspicious words, but looking at Xue Yinger sitting opposite him, he was full of depression. When he wins, he will have to find a way to get rid of her.

A concubine of a lowly concubine! Why can't the third child marry the prostitute's daughter?

"By the way, the second master and our girl are not too young, when will it be decided." The old mother said.

Xue Yinger's face was so red that it was about to smoke, why did you say this in front of her? And in front of so many people!

The old mama didn't care if she was thin-skinned or not, she was just a concubine, please explain it quickly, so she can go back to work when she is settled.

"Although I am the aunt, in the end... Aunt Fei is up to you to decide." Qin didn't bother to respond.

Aunt Fei's face was gloomy. If it were the same as before, she would have been impatient to book the wedding date, and even explained the details clearly.

But now...how can a little bitch like Sanlang marry someone like Ye Tangcai, but her Erlang can't?

Aunt Fei thought for a while and then smiled and said, "I looked back at the almanac. In fact, I think it's the second master's scientific examination that matters, and I will decide after the scientific examination is over."

The old mother rolled her eyes: "It's not about getting married right away, let's choose a date first! Didn't choose a good date for so long before?" She didn't want to make another trip.

"Yes, let's set the date first." Uncle Chu said and looked at Aunt Fei, "Didn't you already choose it before, saying October 20th?"

"Since the uncle said so, it will be October 20th!" The old woman quickly responded, "Then uncle, hurry up and go through the etiquette, and then welcome the bride."

Aunt Fei's face darkened, she had to find a way to cancel the engagement before October 20th!

"The third master and the third grandma are here." The green leaf outside opened the curtain.

Chu Yunpan and Ye Tangcai walked in and greeted Mrs. Qin and Uncle Chu. Chu Yunpan said: "Next month will be Qiu Wei, dad, let me apply for the exam!"

Chu Yunpan is not a scholar with a reputation, but although the Chu family is poor, they are honorable anyway. Xungui can rely on Zuyin to bypass the hospital examination and directly participate in the provincial examination, so he has to ask Uncle Chu to report to the examination room before he can enter the examination room.

"What? Saburo also wants to take the scientific examination?" Aunt Fei was startled, and then said "ouch" as if she heard some joke, and looked at Ye Tangcai: "It must be the third grandma who instigated it. But the third grandma, the third master really If it wasn’t for this piece of material, I wouldn’t have to spend a few days in the examination room in vain.”

Ye Tang gave her a blank look, and didn't bother to explain: "What are you doing?" Then he looked at Uncle Chu: "Father, can I report it now?"

"Yes." Although Uncle Chu had no hope for Chu Yunpan, his son wanted to apply for the exam, so there was no reason to stop him.

Chu Congke was very angry when he saw Ye Tangcai rushing about for Chu Yunpan. But thinking that Chu Yunpan would fail the ranking soon and let her down, he felt happy again.

Chu Congke smiled mockingly: "Third brother, you've been sleeping a lot in class recently, so don't get out of here!"

Uncle Chu also looked at Chu Yunpan worriedly. He even dreamed of having a scholar in his family, so he often inquired with his wife about the academic performance of his sons.

The eldest son is completely useless, handing in blank papers every day, and the third son occasionally does homework, but often sleeps in class and does not attend classes. Only the second son was serious about studying, and although he didn't study very well, he was studying seriously!

In the past two months, the master also praised Chu Congke's strategy and theory, which made Uncle Chu have confidence in Chu Congke in an instant. I think he is someone who can stand out, and I can count on him to lead the whole family to make a facelift in the future.

"Anyway, Dad, just report it to me." Chu Yunpan said calmly.

"Okay, let's report. It's not that I won't let you go, it's just that I won't make you lose face and suffer in vain." Aunt Fei said with a smile. No one can compare, how can I show my son's ability.

Even if his son doesn't win at that time, there will be a more unbearable person to make his son stand out!

Mrs. Qin snorted coldly, since her son was hopeless anyway, she ate melon seeds and watched them make trouble.
