Family Has a Concubine

In the afternoon, the examination was finally over.

The students came out of the Gongyuan one after another. After nine days and eight nights of exams, they were exhausted, but they still couldn't stop all kinds of emotions from spreading on their faces.

Some have demented eyes, as if mourning, some are full of remorse, and some are elated.

The Chu family's carriage was waiting in the open space in front of the Gongyuan gate, Uncle Chu and Ye Tangcai both came, and Yu Han sat on the shaft. From afar, I saw Chu Yunpan approaching.

He was dressed in light blue straight clothes and wrinkled, his hair was a little messy, and his handsome face was tired.

As soon as he saw him, Uncle Chu rushed forward excitedly: "Sanlang, how did you do in the exam, huh?"

"It's okay." Chu Yunpan came over and replied two words lightly.

"What does it mean?" Uncle Chu was dissatisfied with these two words, and asked: "How is the policy theory written? What is the title of the eight-legged essay?"

Chu Yunpan said: "It's useless to ask now, I have passed the exam. As you said, if you fail the exam, you are still a candidate. Wait for the result!"

Uncle Chu was so anxious that his face froze when he heard his words, followed by bursts of disappointment. It seems that the test should not be very good.

The father and son came from a distance, Qiuju saw Chu Yunpan's expressionless face, and said, "Look at the third master...he must have failed the exam."

But Ye Tangcai gave her a sideways glance: "The third master has always been indifferent. Besides, even if he ran over happily, it would be useless! Look at these students, many of them came out with a confident face and high spirits. This is all because they answered their best answers and handed in their best results. Could it be that what they think is the best is really good? Did these happy and proud ones really win? In this way, there must be ten or eight champions."

Huiran snorted, at this time Chu Yunpan and Uncle Chu had already walked over.

"Third Lord!" Yu Han jumped out of the carriage, pulled Chu Yunpan to a distance, and then whispered in his ear.

Chu Yunpan was startled, frowned, and nodded.

"Yuhan, what are you doing? Your third master has been exhausted for nine days, let's go." Uncle Chu shouted beside the carriage.

Several people got into the carriage quickly, Yu Han flicked the whip, and the carriage left.

After they left, another black-covered carriage drove over in a hurry. It was none other than Ye Chengde, Yin Tingniang and Ye Yun.

Several people stood among the students coming and going, and waited for a long time before seeing Xu Rui limping out. His scholar's robes have long been dirty, his hair is messy, and his face is covered with stubble.

"Ruidi is out!" Seeing him, Ye Yun was the first to rush over.

Then Ye Chengde and Yin Tingniang stepped forward, and several people scrambled to support her. In the end, neither Ye Chengde nor Yin Tingniang could compete with Ye Yun.

"Ruidi, are you okay?" Ye Yun looked worried.

"I'm... fine." Xu Rui said after taking a breath, "It's just that I was confined inside too hard."

Yin Tingniang and Ye Chengde felt distressed for a while.

The test room is only a little bit big, and there are only two horizontal boards, one high and one low, for people to write on. At night, they can only lie on their knees. There is a bucket inside, and they have to eat and drink for nine days. in.

The environment is extremely harsh, and some weak candidates may even die inside.

"How did you do in the exam?" Yin Tingniang looked hopeful.

Xu Rui nodded with a smile: "I think I did well in the exam."

Hearing these words, Yin Tingniang and Ye Chengde smiled. Ye Yun even laughed out loud: "I knew that Ruidi is the best! He will definitely pass the exam!"

"Let's go! Let's go home first." Yin Tingniang said.

Several people rushed to help him into the car, and then went straight to Yongcunju in Songhua Lane.

After Xu Rui finished washing and washing, while eating, he listened to what happened during Ye Chengde's absence, and hurried out the door after listening.

He didn't go elsewhere, but went to the Prince's Mansion!

When Ye Chengde was imprisoned last year, he used the small sign to ask the prince for help, and offered advice to clean up the Qiu family. The prince looked at him differently and wanted to recruit him. I have something important to ask, if the prince wants to recruit, maybe he will help him.

When he came to the East Corner Gate of the Prince's Mansion, he handed over the post, and after a while, a maid came out and said coldly, "Our Highness doesn't know people like you."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Xu Rui was startled, what's going on? Last year the prince clearly appreciated him very much! Why now... By the way, Dad just told him that the Prince's mansion has been troubled recently, and the Prince has been attacked by rumors, so naturally he doesn't want to see him.

And he, for this matter, has a plan long ago!

But now he can't even see the prince!

Xu Rui was very unwilling, so he had to wait at the door. When it was late, he saw Li Gui coming out. Seeing Li Gui, he hurried up to greet him: "Eunuch Li."

"You..." Li Gui recognizes people with first-class skills, and when he saw Xu Rui, he recognized him. "What are you doing here?"

"The test is over today, and I want to visit His Highness the Crown Prince." Xu Rui said, "Besides, I know His Highness is worrying about certain things right now, so I came here specially to relieve His Highness."

Li Gui was startled, and naturally knew that he was talking about the Prince and Miao Ji's reconciliation: "What can you do? Tell me about it?"

"I... ask Eunuch Li for help, let me personally report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." This kind of invitation for credit should naturally be said in person, and there is no need to be falsely claimed.

Li Gui's complexion is not very good. If this Xu Rui, like last time... came up with such a stupid plan and took him in by himself, he would definitely be in trouble with him.

"Elder-in-law..." Xu Rui looked at Li Gui sincerely.

Li Gui thought of the prince's gloomy face these two days, so he nodded: "Come with me, if you mess up this matter again, I will definitely peel your skin later!"

Seeing an eunuch talking to him like this, Xu Rui smiled and said, "It's natural." But a cold light flashed in his eyes. It's just a eunuch. When he goes to high school and goes higher and higher in the future, he will be attractive.

The two entered the mansion, and soon came outside the prince's study. Li Gui asked him to wait there and walked in by himself.

The prince was sitting behind the desk with a gloomy expression, and when he saw Li Gui coming back, he frowned: "Didn't you tell the queen to go? Why are you back?"

"Your Highness, the servant met Xu Rui at the corner gate." Li Gui bowed.

"Which Xu Rui?" The prince had forgotten him.

"That's the one... Didn't there be someone last year, by the way, wasn't Grandma Chu's father thrown into prison?" Li Gui mentioned.

The prince finally remembered, that stupid Xu Rui?

"Why did you bring him in?" Prince Jun's face was cold.

"He said...he has a way to solve His Highness' urgent needs." Li Gui said.

The prince was startled, nodded: "Let him in."

Now whether it is his counselor or the queen, let him bear it, after all, there is no evidence in front of him, it is just a rumor. After a long time, it will naturally fade. But how can he bear it!

And once this kind of stain is planted, it will become a lifetime stain. He will never allow this kind of thing.

Now someone comes to offer advice, no matter how ugly it is, he will talk about it after a while.

After a while, Li Gui brought Xu Rui in. Xu Rui bowed to the prince first: "Students see His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Okay." The prince waved his hand, "What plan do you have?"

"This matter is very simple." Xu Rui said, "Your Highness only needs to restore your reputation."

Hearing this, Li Gui's face darkened, and he was a little annoyed: "Who doesn't know about this kind of thing. Are you asking His Highness to do good things outside? Give porridge to the poor or something? Your Highness has never done this before, It’s only done now when your reputation is damaged, who doesn’t know that His Highness intends to restore his reputation, isn’t it because His Highness really..."

"No." Xu Rui shook his head, "Your Highness shouldn't come to claim this reputation, it should be Miao Ji and there. As long as Miao Ji and get married."

"Marry, who else can I marry now? Besides, even if I do, others will think it's a cover-up." Li Gui said. Why haven't they considered this method, but the effect is minimal, so it's better not to do it.

"Ye Lingjiao." Xu Rui said, "This is his original fiancée. The matter was exacerbated by her resignation. As long as she agrees to get married on the original schedule, it will be fine. Although the wedding date was fixed at that time , but later Ye Lingjiao suspected Miao Ji and the outside room, so the Ye family's wedding invitations were not sent down. But the Miao family's wedding invitations were sent out long ago. Later, the two families withdrew, and the Miao family felt ashamed. Now the wedding invitation has not been withdrawn. Therefore, as long as the marriage is completed according to the original schedule, it is only a rumor that there is no divorce, but it is just a rumor! The original fiancée is willing to marry him and believes in him, which can only show that he and Yin Jiang are married. It's innocent. It was Yin Jiangfu who misbehaved and accidentally jumped on him."

Upon hearing this, the prince and Li Gui thought it was feasible.

"After that." Xu Rui continued, "His Royal Highness can invite Lin Guogong to come into the mansion. Lin Guogong is a well-known Confucian in the world, who knows that he has a clear temperament and high morals! As long as he is invited to visit, His Highness's reputation will be restored. Three points. If the two pairs add up, His Highness will be able to get rid of the stigma. Even if it can't be completely removed, let's let someone go to the public to talk about it and dominate the public opinion, and His Highness can take back his virtuous name."

The prince's eyes lit up, and he stood up excitedly: "Wonderful!"

Li Shi also had a smile on his face, this is the person he invited in! It actually solved their troubles.

Xu Rui was praised by the crown prince, with a happy expression on his face, he boldly asked what he wanted: "Your Highness... I have something, I want to ask you."

The prince was just happy: "Say."

"I want to recognize the Ye family as my son, please help me, Your Highness." Li Rui said.

The prince frowned, "How can I help? Could it be that Ye...something divorced his first wife?"

"No." Li Rui smiled, "We have already discussed the countermeasures, as long as His Highness is willing to help."

As he spoke, he told his plan, and the crown prince raised his eyebrows when he heard it. This Xu Rui is really poisonous! Too poisonous!

The prince nodded: "In that case, I will help you!"

"Thank you, Your Highness." Xu Rui was overjoyed and quickly kowtowed to thank him.

The prince looked at him and just smiled: "Unexpectedly, you are just a young man, and you are not very old, but you have such intelligence."

"Your Highness has a great reputation." Xu Rui looked humble.

"Where is the reputation, you are better than my advisers." The prince made no secret of his appreciation and praise.

Xu Rui was very excited. I have already won the eyes of the prince, and if I go to high school in the future, I will definitely rise to the top. Of course, if he fails the ranking, he will!

It's just that he can add more chips to him if he wins the Jinshi.

"That Ye family..." The prince narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Let me do it! It will definitely be done well." Xu Rui promised.

"Okay." The prince smiled heartily, "You go!"

The sooner this matter is done, the better.

"Students leave." Xu Rui turned and left.

Seeing his leaving back, the prince heaved a sigh of relief. It was the first time in a while that he showed a sincere smile, and his mood was indescribably light.

"Your Highness, this time, I can finally rest easy." Li Gui said.

"Sit back and relax." The prince sneered.

After this incident, he felt that Miao Jihe couldn't get rid of it, and now it was only a temporary solution. In the future, when this matter is lost, he will get rid of the trouble forever.

"It's just..." the prince rubbed his chin, "I used to think Xu Rui was stupid, and the princess and Song Xiao also thought so. It made me almost miss a good general."

"The Crown Princess is a woman's opinion after all, nothing compares to His Highness's conspiracy. And Mr. Song..." Li Gui shook his head while speaking, "After all, he is His Highness's counselor, you think highly of Xu Rui...he , naturally not happy."

The prince sneered.

...

Xu Rui left the Prince's Mansion with excitement, and immediately sent someone to send a message to Ye Hewen, asking him to meet at Braised Flavor World early tomorrow morning.

Ye Hewen was waiting at home for Ye Chengde to come back so he could ask about Xu Rui's situation and how he was doing in the exam.

But Ye Chengde didn't want to come out because he lived in Songhua Lane. Unexpectedly, Ye Hewen received a post from his grandson at this time, and Ye Hewen was extremely excited.

Ever since his grandson came back from Changzhou, he hadn't seen him again, so he was very happy to see him now.

Early the next morning, Ye Hewen hurried to Stewed Flavor World, walked into a box, and saw Xu Rui and Ye Chengde sitting on the grand master's chair under the window.

"Rui'er, how did you do in the exam?" Ye Hewenhuai walked over nervously.

"Grandfather, I did very well in the exam." Xu Rui said with a smile, "I have used everything I have learned, and there are a few questions that I have done before, and the master even praised me when I finished. "So he is very confident, and feels that this test will bring out all the knowledge he has learned in his life.

Ye Hewen was excited for a while, this is a hit! Soon, he will have a Jinshi grandson.

"By the way, why didn't I see your mother?" Ye Hewen thought that he asked him out to celebrate his successful exams, and he didn't want to see only their father and son, but not Yin Tingniang.

"Today is not for my scientific research, but for my sister-in-law's marriage." Xu Rui said.

"What are you talking about? Are you going to introduce your sister-in-law's family?" Ye Hewen sighed, his daughter is really...a lot of trouble!

Speaking of this, Ye Hewen couldn't help frowning deeply. For this daughter, he used to love her, she was pretty and cute, but in the past six months she has been too noisy, but in the end...it proved that she was right! That Miao Jihe really can't marry! Marrying will make the family lose face.
