The fourth wife finally showed a smile on her face, this son who gave her great expectations, began to enlighten since he was a child, and after her husband did not go to the imperial examination, he put all his efforts on him, fortunately, this son is also competitive, and he has never disappointed their husband and wife, and I think this time it will not disappoint her.

Zhen Ruyi, who was walking behind, also stepped forward, held the other arm of the fourth wife, and comforted: "Mother, don't worry, the sixth brother will definitely not disappoint you and your father." ”

The fourth lady looked left and right at the two flower-like daughters, and said with a smile: "With your two filial daughters by your side, no matter how big my worries are, they have been soothed by you." ”

Zhen Ruyi said honestly: "Filial piety to our mother is our duty as children. ”

Zhen Wanyi said with a smile: "Mother is so sad, if my father comes back and sees it, I'm afraid he will blame me and Seventh Sister." ”

The fourth wife smiled and patted Zhen Wanyi, "You unobstructed girl, why don't you go to Zhilan Courtyard soon, if you let the master wait, you will have to beat your palm." ”

Zhen Wanyi looked at the sky, "Then mother, I'll go to Zhilan Courtyard first." Seventh sister, come and embroider with me in the afternoon, Aunt Fu gave me homework. ”

Zhen Ruyi showed a big smile on her face and nodded, "Okay, I'll go to Yunyi Building to find you after lunch." ”

The fourth lady smiled and said, "You two will come to my place for lunch at noon today, and it just so happens that the small kitchen has prepared a new lake lotus root, which is the most delicious to eat at this time." ”

When Zhen Wanyi heard this, she was also greedy, "Mother, I want to eat lotus root pork rib soup and lotus root cake." ”

"Okay, it's all there, it's all ready. ”

Zhen Ruyi watched with envy as Zhen Wanyi left, and then said, "Let my daughter accompany her mother today." ”

The fourth lady did not refuse, and the two took the maid to the Hanxiang Courtyard.

The waiting time passed slowly and quickly, and the fourth lady paced restlessly, unable to sit still. At that time, Zhen Wanyi and Zhen Ruyi discussed for an afternoon, and finally embroidered a square handkerchief with the dish orchid pattern arranged by Aunt Fu.

The two exchanged experiences, and Cherry trotted in, "Miss Nine, Miss Seven, the fourth master and the sixth master are back." ”

The two of them stood up at the same time, put down the embroidery work in their hands and hurriedly walked to Changkang Temple.

Changkang Courtyard was overcrowded, surrounding Zhen Mingjie thoroughly, and Zhen Xiujie's voice could be heard at the door, "Mr. said, there is no problem with the sixth brother's rhetoric, and he will definitely be able to pass the exam." ”

The old lady's voice came, "Oh, ancestor bless, our Zhen family is finally going to show off again." ”

Zhen Mingjie's usually gentle voice also carried a hint of urgency, "Grandmother, this matter is still inconclusive, we have to wait for the results to be announced." ”

The old lady was obviously in a good mood, "Okay, okay, grandmother won't talk about it, our brother Ming is anxious and shy, so let's wait for the results to come out." Let's go, let's have dinner, your grandfather went to see his friends, and today we grandparents and grandchildren sit together. ”

Zhen Wanyi's two sisters walked up to the fourth wife, "Mother." ”

The fourth lady smiled with a smile on her face, and only let the two of them stand behind her. When Zhen Xiujie saw Zhen Wanyi, he hurriedly leaned over and whispered, "Sister, my brother has been admitted to Xiucai." ”

Zhen Wanyi rubbed Zhen Xiujie's hair, and also suppressed her voice and said, "Are the results coming out?"

Zhen Xiujie smiled like a little mouse stealing food, "It's still time to wait for the results to come out, you see that my grandfather and my brother went out, but they haven't come back until now, didn't they help my brother go to work? ”

Zhen Wanyi was stunned, and when she saw that no one noticed them, she pulled Zhen Xiu out of the main room, stood on the corridor and said urgently: "Brother Xiu'er, who else did you say this?"

Zhen Xiujie was puzzled: "Just tell your sister, what's wrong?"

Zhen Wanyi breathed a sigh of relief, "Then why do you think like that?"

Zhen Xiujie grinned and said: "What's this, my grandfather and the prefect of Qinghe City are friends in the same department, and it should be easier for people in our family to take the Xiucai exam, everyone in the school said so." ”

Zhen Wanyi's face was straight, "Brother Xiu'er, you see that in the family, in addition to the third uncle's family, there is a showman? Even the eldest brother, the eldest grandson, is not famous for showing talent, so how could the sixth brother take the test for Xiucai by his grandfather? This court hires people of insight, all rely on real talent and real learning, you think, this show talent takes one person for every dozens of people, one person for every thousand people, and only hires the top twenty or thirty when it comes to Jinshi, the more difficult it is to go to the back, otherwise there will not be ten years of cold windows no one asks, and the world knows it in one fell swoop. If you can gain fame by moving around in relationships, then who else is going to study hard?"

Zhen Xiujie first blinked his eyes, thought for a while, and then said, "The people in the school are not happy to say this, they are ruining my sixth brother's reputation." "I'm going to talk to them tomorrow." ”

Zhen Wanyi pulled Brother Xiu'er's raised hand, "You, why are you so impatient." This mouth grows on people, and you can still care what they say. They must be saying this because their brother is too good in the school, and they are mediocre if they are not envied, they are all jealous of their brother. For such people, let's just ignore them, can't you follow the crowd to know? Don't go to someone to theorize, facts speak louder than words, as long as my brother can be admitted all the way to Xiucai, lifting, Jinshi, what else can they say? Remember, smart people do their hands, stupid people move their mouths. Don't do this kind of verbal argument in the future, it will make people feel frivolous, you know?"

Zhen Xiujie lowered his head in shame, and then raised his head to look at Zhen Wanyi, "Sister, why do you know so much after only a few months of reading." Am I stupid, not as smart as my brother, so will I not be able to take the Jinshi exam in the future, and I won't be able to enter the capital?"

Zhen Wanyi smiled, "I'm talking nonsense again, Brother Xiu'er is smart, you see that my brother is so smart, and I am also smart, how can you not be smart and not be able to get into the Jinshi? As long as you study hard like your brother, you will definitely be admitted to the Jinshi." ”

Although this is unreasonable, it makes Zhen Xiujie feel very at ease, his brothers and sisters are all smart, and he will definitely be very smart.

"Well, I'm not going to play with the people in the school who like to chew the root of my tongue again, and I don't want to be a stupid person who can only move his mouth. ”

Zhen Wanyi praised: "Brother Xiu'er is so smart. Okay, let's go in, it's not good to be away for too long. ”

Facing her twin brother, Zhen Wanyi only thought about mentioning more places that could be taken care of, so as not to go down the wrong path without adults knowing. As the youngest son of the fourth room, and the dragon and phoenix fetus, everyone will unconsciously pamper him. Like the fourth wife, although she is disciplined, but this year, Brother Xiu will go to school in the clan school, and he will be able to meet sooner or later, and the fourth master will devote himself to Zhen Mingjie's career, so Brother Xiu is a little laissez-faire for a while.
