Family Has a Concubine

Hearing these words, everyone was startled, and couldn't figure out who the "big brother-in-law" was for a moment. After all, the two of them were enemies, and they were so close.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment before they realized that they were talking about Ye Tangcai's husband--Chu Yunpan.

"Is it... surnamed Chu?" Hearing this, the young servant asked timidly, "The third master of the Chu family, Chu Yunpan, right?"

"Mother, is that the name of the eldest brother-in-law?" Ye Rong asked stupidly.

"That's right!" Mrs. Sun glared at him, big brother-in-law, big brother-in-law, why are you so close?

Ye Licai couldn't help pinching the veil tightly, Zhang Boyuan frowned and looked over coldly. Can't you win? impossible! Absolutely impossible! No way!

"I won!" The boy said two words that no one expected.

Zhang Boyuan's complexion changed, Ye Licai's face turned livid, and she tightly covered her stomach with her hands, feeling her stomach throbbing and hurting.

"How could it be possible? Are you reading that right?" Mrs. Sun jumped up suddenly.

"It's not wrong." The boy said the same thing as before, "The four of us have eight eyes, how could we see it wrong...and... so conspicuous..."

Zhang Hong and Meng's faces were not very good, and the two families had been secretly competing for the matter of robbing and exchanging marriages. Zhang Boyuan failed the ranking, so he naturally hoped that Chu Yunpan would also fail.

Zhang Boyuan's handsome face turned blue and white, his heart was filled with breath, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

Zhang Hong felt uncomfortable, but he still smiled: "Oh, I didn't expect...the Chu family boy...he seems to be a few years younger than Bo Yuan! How lucky is he! Hahaha!"

"Yes, yes! So powerful! Hehehe." Meng Shi was suffocated in her heart, tangled, hehe smiled, pretending to say a compliment generously, then changed the subject, and said: "Which child is the first? I barely squeezed Go in, if you are the same as Jinshi in the imperial examination tomorrow...it's better not to pass, it's better to get a good result in the next exam." The tone was actually somewhat sympathetic.

The boy's expression changed, he thought he would have to say it if he procrastinated, and finally said as if he were dead: "Mr. Chu...he won the prize! He won the first place!"

With a "boom", the Zhang family was hit dizzily by the words "member" and "first".

Meng Shi and Zhang Hong choked so hard that their facial muscles trembled slightly.

"You, what are you talking about...Huiyuan?" Zhang Boyuan felt lightning flashing and thundering instantly, trembling all over his body, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Did you read it wrong?"

The boy wants to die already! It is said that there are only three things! This sentence is really asked the fourth time! As if dying, he said: "The four of us have eight eyes..."

Zhang Boyuan sat down on the chair.

"How is it possible, that bastard from a poor family..." Sun's voice was sharp.

When they got engaged to Ye Licai back then, they seemed to dislike him so much, they looked down on them desperately, were unwilling to them desperately, and tried every means to dump him. In the end, he finally dumped it and gave it to Ye Tangcai. As a result, he won the prize! Huiyuan! That is the first to try!

Ye Chengxin's face turned extremely ugly, and Ye Rong sat on the side with a dazed expression, picking his nose.

"Ah——" Suddenly, a scream came from Ye Licai.

Everyone was startled and looked at her, only to see Ye Licai clutching her stomach with a pained look on her face: "I...my stomach hurts...uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...'

Then there was a splash, everyone heard the sound of water, and then saw Ye Li picking up water from the ground beside her feet.

"This... is about to give birth!" Meng Shi exclaimed, "Quickly, carry the eldest grandma inside."

The women were so frightened that they carried Ye Licai down.

"Sister Li, don't be afraid, you will definitely give birth to a fat boy." Sun said while chasing her.

Everyone cheered and followed Ye Licai's footsteps, even Zhang Manman followed, but Zhang Boyuan, as her husband, stood blankly in the hall, with a gloomy and unwilling face, and eyes full of resentment .

As for Songhua Lane, it was also full of gloomy clouds at this time.

Ye Chengde, Yin Tingniang, and Xu Rui sat at a stone table in the courtyard, while Ye Hewen stood there with his hands behind his back.

"You, did you see clearly?" Ye Hewen turned his head and looked at Liu Er in front of him, his old face wrinkled into a ball.

Liu Er frowned, looking timid: "I can see clearly, there really is no second young master's name."

Ye Hewen sighed, and sat on the stone bench with a flick of his hand, his face was full of disappointment.

Ye Chengde and Yin Tingniang felt disappointed when they saw him. Looking up, I saw Xu Rui's gentle and delicate face was tense and pale.

"Bang bang bang—" At this moment, there was a rush of knocking on the door outside. "Brother Rui! Aunt Ting, open the door! Why did you close the door?"

It was Ye Yun who came.

He knew that the list was released today, so he rushed to Jinglong Street to read the list early in the morning. It was crowded, and he couldn't find Xu Rui's name, so he searched again and again unwillingly until he was sure he couldn't find it. Only then came to Songhua Lane to report the news in disappointment.

All the way back, thinking about how to comfort Xu Rui.

Ye Hewen heard that Ye Yun was coming, and his face changed: "This evil is here..." He stood up and wanted to hide, but in the end, he lifted his robe and sat down again: "Go and open the door!"

They are ready to recognize Xu Rui in the next few days, and they will know sooner or later, and they are not afraid that Ye Yun will see him.

Chen Ma let out a sigh and ran to open the door.

"Ruidi——" Ye Yun rushed in while calling, and when she saw Ye Hewen, Ye Chengde, and Yin Tingniang mother and son sitting under the willow tree in the courtyard, she was startled: "Grandfather... you..."

"Brother Yun is here." Yin Tingniang smiled, got up and called him over, "Sit here."

"Grandfather..." When Ye Yun saw Ye Hewen, the two were fighting, and it was too late to run away. He glanced timidly at Ye Hewen.

"Come over and sit down soon, don't you want your father and younger brother to invite you?" Ye Hewen said calmly.

Ye Yun saw that Ye Hewen didn't scold him, nor glared at him, and... this tone, could it be that his grandfather has already accepted Ruidi and Aunt Ting?

Ye Yun saw that although Yin Tingniang was sad, she had a smile on her face. Xu Rui sat there with a somewhat unwilling expression, but she had no fear of her grandfather.

Apparently the grandfather accepted them.

Ye Yun burst into joy, feeling that it was all due to him, so he hurried forward. But thinking of Xu Rui's failure in the exam, he sighed: "Brother Rui, don't be sad."

Hearing what he said, Xu Rui panicked.

"But... at that time, you obviously said that you did well in the exam, so why didn't you pass?" Ye Yun's tone was full of resentment.

As soon as these words came out, Xu Rui's face became even uglier. If it is said that he did not do well in the exam at that time, it can be said that he did not work hard enough. But he passed his best level in the test!

"What nonsense!" Ye Hewen glared at him, and quickly comforted Xu Rui: "Let's take the exam next time! Back then, my grandfather and I also passed the exam several times. How could there be so many young Jinshi and young champions? It’s something that only plays.”

Xu Ruiqing grimaced, said "um", and clenched her hands on her knees tightly.

In fact, before this, he never thought of becoming a Jinshi once, but so many things happened, he hit the wall again and again. He paid special attention to this meeting.

Thinking of Ye Tangcai's sarcastic but beautiful eyes, and her contemptuous and charming smile, blooming like a flourishing youth, it aroused his arrogance and determination.

The last time he boasted in front of her, he was slapped in the face again and again! Now that she failed the ranking, she didn't know how to mock herself.

Thinking of this, Xu Rui secretly hated.

But soon, he took a deep breath.

You can't do this! If you can't let it go, your life will be over. So, don't think about other people's ridicule. In the future, you must study harder. Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge!

"By the way, did you win Boyuan?" Ye Hewen asked concerned.

For Zhang Boyuan, he has mixed feelings. If there is no grandson Xu Rui, he also hopes that Zhang Boyuan will become a tribute, so that he will also be honored along with him.

But now that he has Xu Rui, he doesn't want Zhang Boyuan. Now that his grandson had failed the list again, he didn't want to see Zhang Zan, the old enemy's grandson, being overwhelmed by Zhang Zan again.

"No." Liu Er shook his head.

Ye Hewen snorted, smiled, turned to Xu Rui and said, "Look, everyone else misses. It's not so easy, so calm down and don't think too much. We will fight again in three years."

Seeing them encouraging each other, Liu Er felt a sense of conflict between the two, his lips parted, but he didn't know whether to say it or not.

Yin Tingniang said softly: "By the way, I heard that Sister Tang's husband is also gone."

"Why mention her?" Ye Hewen snorted coldly. He annoys this granddaughter the most, she loves to make trouble, pick things up, and stir up trouble!

Ye Yun heard that Ye Tangcai also frowned, her heart was full of disgust, unfilial, vicious and superficial, and said coldly: "With her character, how could she be chosen."

A smile flashed in Yin Tingniang's eyes. Ever since Ye Yun came in, she had noticed Ye Yun's expression.

He comforted Xu Rui ignorantly, and with his temperament, if Ye Tangcai's husband was selected, his face would be so unhappy and tangled, it would not be as open as it is now.

She has such a delicate mind, she has already guessed the result, but she just mentions this.

"Originally, I prepared a gift... I thought that if he won the Gongshi, and if he won the Jinshi tomorrow, I would let Chengde and Brother Yun send it to him. After all, he is also a daughter and sister..."

"Aunt Ting, don't be busy." Ye Yun interrupted her, "Even if you really send it over, your good intentions will be ruined. At that time, she will not only throw your gift away, but also insult you A meal. And he missed at all!"

Hearing the truth, Yin Tingniang's long eyelashes drooped to cover the sarcasm in her eyes.

Xu Rui heaved a sigh of relief, that bastard was also missed!

The corner of Liu Er's mouth twitched, he really wanted to know how the eldest son's eyes grew!

Obviously won, okay? And still in such a conspicuous position, he actually sees, no, sees!

Are you blind? No, he's blind.

"Liu Er, what are you doing? Is there a flower on my face? Looking at me like this?" Ye Yun smiled and touched his face.

"Liu Er, you've been acting weird since you came back, what are you doing?" Ye Hewen was displeased. He was in a bad mood when his grandson didn't win, but Liu Er was acting weird, which was really annoying.

Seeing this, Liu Er didn't dare to hide it. He looked embarrassed: "My lord, I don't know what you think. You see that my eldest uncle won, but I saw that he won."

"What?" Ye Hewen was startled.

Ye Chengde, Yin Tingniang and Xu Rui's expressions changed.

"What are you talking about? Why can't I see it." Ye Yun didn't care, "You must have read it wrong."

"You got it wrong." Liu Er frowned, "So conspicuous, number one, Huiyuan! Are you blind?"

"What? Liao! Is my brother-in-law's name Chu Yunpan?" Ye Yun was startled.

Then Ye Hewen, Ye Chengde and Yin Tingniang's mother and son were also shocked, shit, this guy doesn't even know what his brother-in-law's name is? Is it human? Yeah? no, he is not!

"Hui, Huiyuan?" Ye Hewen jumped up.

He himself has participated in four full examinations, so he naturally knows how difficult it is to be a Gongshi, and it is even more difficult to be a Huiyuan, it is as difficult as reaching the sky!

But now, someone actually hit it.

Of course, every year there is someone who wins the prize, but this is actually someone he is familiar with, not just familiar, that is his grandson-in-law. And it's the one who is the most apprehensive, the most disgusting, and the most contemptuous.

Ye Hewen was stunned.

A hint of viciousness and resentment flashed in Ye Chengde's eyes, how did this nest of vicious things fall into Huiyuan.

"No, it's impossible." Xu Rui stood up with a pale face, and then rushed out.

"Rui'er." Ye Hewen couldn't sit still anymore, he wanted to confirm whether the member was really his hapless grandson-in-law.

Then, by chasing Xu Rui, he ran out in a hurry.

Xu Rui was full of anger.

The woman said that he was born in the countryside, a country bumpkin, an oil bottle, and a son of an outsider.

But he also mocked her, so what if she is the eldest daughter of the Hou family, but she is married to a concubine from a poor family, why should she be arrogant in front of him? Why look down on him?

but now……

Xu Rui was full of unwillingness, and ran out of Songhua Lane in one breath.

At this time, the list was also posted here. East Street is also the main street, and the list was posted on the outer wall of a restaurant, crowded with people.

Xu Rui rushed over and squeezed everyone away. When he saw that the first member on the list really wrote Chu Yunpan's name, Xu Rui's expression changed.

The original resentment calmed down at this moment, turning into a gloomy coldness.

"Oh, this..." Ye Hewen squeezed in regardless of his identity. When he saw that it was really his grandson-in-law, Ye Hewen felt very strange in his heart.

For a while, he couldn't see the granddaughter he hated the most gaining power, and for a while he was a little excited. After all, it was his grandson-in-law!

Thinking about it, I felt sour regret again and again, how could it be the grandson-in-law, not his grandson! well!

After Xu Rui looked at it, he walked back with his head drooping.

Ye Hewen was reluctant to leave, and stared at the list for a while, as if he would run away if he didn't stare.

When Xu Rui returned to the Everlasting Residence, Ye Yun frowned and said, "I'm really short-sighted. Why is it her husband-in-law? Now she doesn't know what to do! Doesn't that tail go up to the sky?"

"Brother, we're not the kind to tolerate people." Xu Rui smiled palely.

"That's right..." Yin Tingniang forced a smile, lowered her head, and stopped talking.

"You guys are generous, but my sister used to bully Aunt Ting and Ruidi, and put Dad in prison. Now her husband has won the Huiyuan, and he will have to be a Jinshi in the imperial examination tomorrow. She still doesn't work hard. I don't know how I will persecute Aunt Ting and Ruidi!" Ye Yun frowned while talking.

Moreover, not only the younger sister will be able to do it, but even the mother will do it... Thinking about it, he feels ashamed. But he is mother's son after all, it's hard to say her fault.

"Ruidi, you... oh..." Ye Yun didn't know how to comfort him for a moment.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Xu Rui nodded hehe, "I'm going to see what ranking my brother-in-law can get tomorrow, maybe I can see him parading the streets, hehe."

Could it be that he can't pass this hurdle? Can't he accept this kind of thing and blow? No, he had to face it. The more he doesn't want to face things, the more he has to face them. Everything is the driving force for his growth.

"Rui'er is right. This year it will be him, and next year it will be you." Ye Hewen said as he walked in.

He walked to the stone table, but did not take a seat. He looked a little restless, and after a few words of comfort, he said, "I've been out for a long time, and I still have something to do at home, so I'll go back first."

"Then I'll send grandfather off." Xu Rui stood up.

"There's no need to send it off, you should have a good rest." Ye Hewen said, and took Liu Er out the door.

Seeing this, Ye Yun said a few more words of comfort, but he didn't know how to say words of comfort. It would be good for him to be quiet at this time, so he also left.

Dingguobo Mansion——

Ye Tangcai's hands were softened when he accepted the post at this time.

Even if you win Huiyuan, no matter how good the ranking is, the family will not have a big banquet to celebrate, and no one will come to the door at this time. Because tomorrow is the palace examination, I am afraid that a bunch of people will come to celebrate and affect tomorrow's palace examination. Even if they really want to celebrate, they have to be after the palace examination and Qionglin Banquet.

But every household will send someone to send a post to say congratulations.

"This is a congratulatory post from the Qiu family, this is a congratulatory post from the Wen family, and this is a congratulatory post from Zhuangguohou's mansion. Uh, which one is this Lai's family?" Qiu Ju complacently counted each of them in the Qiongming Pavilion. Congratulatory post.

"Oh, it seems that Miss Wu Qi married into her husband's family, isn't she Lai Second Grandma now?" Hui Ran said. "Looks like we got married last June."

Qiuju snorted: "How good we were with our girl before. Since the girl married into the Chu family, I haven't contacted her. She didn't even invite the girl when she got married last year. Now that the third master has won the prize, he just sends him congratulations." Come on, shall we send her this share?"

"Okay, stop babbling, let's reply to all the posts!" Hui Ran said angrily.

This is Uncle Chu's servant, Dafu, who walked into the courtyard, stood in front of the house and said, "Sister Huiran, the master has reserved a seat at the Jinyu Tower, please inform the Jing'an Hou Mansion quickly, and we will watch the parade together tomorrow."

In the past, the family didn't watch the emperor's disciples parading the streets, but this year is different. My son is going to take part in the palace examination, and he is a Huiyuan.

Qiuju stopped writing the post, and immediately went back by car to inform Wen and the others.
