Mother Zhou exclaimed, "How is this possible?"

Then he quipped: "Sister Liao, this is to see that I have been bored recently, so she said that she was having fun to tease me, right?"

Liao's mother pursed her lips and said depressedly: "Now that Mr. is still looking for it, where am I in the mood to joke with you." If you don't believe me, you can ask Miss Xiangju or Miss Tao'er to see if what I said is false? ”

Zhou's mother was completely stunned, and only after a moment did she exclaim: "Women can also take the top prize?"

Liao's mother whispered: "You whisper, you ask me this, how do I know, I heard that it seems that the imperial court has not explicitly stipulated that women cannot take the top prize." ”

Zhou's mother thought about it again and again, and finally decided to stay and ask in person.

Zhou's mother turned a thousand times in her heart, and she recalled the big and small things that had happened in the past six months.

She sighed in her heart that all the things that had happened in the past six months had been thrilling.

She suddenly found that she could now be calm and not shocked by the honor and disgrace.

Mother Zhou sighed and returned to Dong Ruyi's house.

When Xianglan saw it, she was puzzled: "Why did Mother Zhou sigh?

Mother Zhou nodded and said, "Who else can there be besides her?" Hanxiang, you take those little ones down, and I will talk to your sister Xianglan." ”

Hanxiang saluted and took the little girls all down.

Xianglan personally poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Zhou's mother, and said, "Mom will take a sip of tea first, let's talk slowly, although Miss is young, she is a person who can take charge of the overall situation, and Mom really doesn't have to worry." ”

Mother Zhou shook her head and said: "You are also the old man of our Yixin Academy, don't you know, since the third master went to Beijing to catch the exam, the third grandmother followed, and our young lady is no one can take care of it." ”

Xianglan listened quietly, when she came, she only knew that the eldest lady was in a worrying situation, but she didn't know that the third master had entered Beijing to take the exam.

Xianglan said: "The third master went to Beijing to catch the exam and brought the third grandmother with him?"

Mother Zhou sighed again, "No, they all followed the third master to Beijing, at that time, the old man of the Chen family had already said that whoever went to Beijing to take the exam still brought his family, and I don't know what our young lady said to Master Chen, and Master Chen agreed." I'm afraid that our young lady made a plan at that time. ”

Xianglan exclaimed: "How is it possible? How old is the eldest lady at that time? Isn't she afraid that the people in the house will have no bones left for her to eat?"

Mother Zhou snorted, "What do you think?"

Xianglan's eyes widened, no longer speaking, facts speak louder than words, and now their eldest lady is still alive and well.

Dong Ruyi is not only good now, but their Yixin Courtyard is also like Tietong, and they can't insert anything.

Zhou's mother said a lot, and finally got down to business, "You tell me honestly, did Xiangju mention that our young lady wants to take the imperial examination?"

Xianglan hurriedly whispered: "Mom also knows about this? What do you say that the old man of the Chen family thinks, he actually let our young lady take the imperial examination, what is the imperial examination? That's what the master did." ”

Mother Zhou was shocked, and said in her heart: "What Mother Liao said turned out to be true. ”

Zhou's mother continued: "How many people know about this now?"

Xianglan said: "Xiangju said that everyone in the Chen family knows about it, and the reason why the eldest lady doesn't let people say it is because she is afraid that the Dong family will oppose it and make a hindrance." It's just that the eldest lady also said that it's a trivial matter, and the people around you will know it. Xiangju told me that her mother is the closest person to Miss, and Miss must have no intention of hiding this from her mother. ”

Zhou's mother smiled helplessly.

"She really doesn't have to hide it from me, she is now a tiger in the mountains, and the monkey is the king. Besides, with Master Chen in charge of her, I'm afraid that even if the third master is here now, there is nothing she can do, so she can only stare dryly. ”

As soon as Dong Ruyi entered Dong's house, the people waiting at the east door of West Dong said that Zhou's mother was back.

She happily returned to Yixin Courtyard, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw the little girls waiting outside the room.

The girls said neatly: "Miss Ann, Miss Xiangju Ann." ”

Dong Ruyi waved his hand and said, "Mother Zhou is inside?"

Han Xiang stepped forward and replied: "Back to Miss, Mother Zhou and Sister Xianglan are gossiping." ”

Dong Ruyi heard this and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's gossip, don't make a noise, I'm going to listen to the corner." ”

When the little girls in the yard saw it, they all covered their mouths silently and smiled, their eldest lady is so funny on weekdays.

Dong Ruyi didn't really listen to the corner, she entered the hugging building and shouted directly: "Is Mother Zhou back?"

Xiangju hurriedly took off the cloak that Dong Ruyi was wearing outside.

Mother Zhou heard the voice, got up and said, "It's the slave who is back." ”

She got off the kang with Xianglan, and Xianglan lifted the curtain and let Dong Ruyi in.

Xianglan said: "The slave maid will make a pot of tea for the young lady." ”

As she spoke, she pulled Xiangju and went to sit in the hugging building.

Zhou's mother stepped forward and hugged Dong Ruyi and said, "Where did you go today? Why did you come back at this time?"

Dong Ruyi moved, turned his head sideways and said, "Didn't Steward Wang tell you? Our Ruji Teahouse opened today." ”

Zhou's mother was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted, Dong Ruyi said that the king was her father-in-law, and her father-in-law never said anything outside when he returned home.

Dong Ru's opinion was even more satisfied with Wang Fugui.

Dong Ruyi said directly: "Our first shop has opened, and my mother will not have to worry about the lack of income at home in the future." ”

Mother Zhou sat down with Dong Ruyi in her arms, and then touched her little face, "You, you are a person who can toss, not to mention anything else, just talk about the silver in your hand, let alone marrying an ordinary family, even marrying a big official family, that is enough for you to enjoy happiness." As a result, it's good that you don't talk about raising so many people, and you still have to do those laborious things. ”

Dong Ruyi shook his head and said, "Mom, things will never develop according to your vision, so I have to make all preparations in advance." ”

Zhou's mother was puzzled: "How should Miss prepare?"

Dong Ruyi moved his body and said softly.

"You are my nurse, although I don't plan to marry in the future, but even if I get married on her day, you will be with me for the rest of my life. So in my eyes, you are my dearest person and my most trusted person. ”

Zhou's mother exclaimed, "You don't plan to get married?"

In the past, if Dong Ruyi said such a thing, she could take it as a joke, but now she really has no way to take it as a joke.

Dong Ruyi said: "I don't mention the matter of getting married, but whether I am married or not, I will protect you, my father, mother, little brother, and mother." But now I don't have this ability, if it weren't for my grandfather, I'm afraid my mother would have been sold. ”
