The next morning, all the Zhen Mansion mobilized and gathered in Changkang Courtyard, the old man Zhen took the men of the family to the ancestral hall to incense the ancestors, and the old lady took the female dependents to the small Buddha hall separated by the ear room on the west side to incense, recited the scriptures, and then returned to the main room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The fourth family, are the things that Mingjie will use to enter the examination room ready?"

The fourth wife's face was full of red light, although she barely closed her eyes last night, but her spirit has been in a state of excitement, "It's all ready, I also brought a knife of Chengxin paper sent by my father, and the ink also brought good pine smoke ink, and the pen used the sheep's hair that Brother Ming is used to." ”

The old lady nodded, "I asked the Miaohui Daoist of Shuilu'an to open the amulet, Brother Ming brought it." ”

The fourth lady nodded, "I checked it this morning, and I've put it all on my body." ”

The old lady smiled and said: "That's good, that's good, the Buddha will definitely bless Brother Ming, luck Changhong, and all wishes come true." ”

The eldest lady watched for a long time before she spoke: "Mother has such ardent expectations, Brother Ming will definitely not disappoint you, you just wait for Brother Ming to give you the first place in the exam and come back." ”

It was the first time that Brother Yuan entered the arena, and the old man was not so attentive, and he was both a member of the Chengxin paper and entered the ancestral hall, didn't he just praise the gentleman twice? She wanted to see if Brother Ming also failed in the examination room, and he didn't show off his fame, what face did he have in the fourth room? The more grand he was today, the heavier he fell when he was disappointed.

The second wife is also a little red-eyed, the second room is the most prosperous, but there is no material for reading, looking at the fanfare of the fourth room, she is also very comfortable, "Yes, Brother Ming is so smart, he will definitely come back with the first place in the exam." ”

The fourth wife only glanced at the thoughts of the two, but she was in a good mood today, and she didn't want to worry about the two, "It's not limited to the first place, as long as I can be admitted to Xiucai and study in the house, I will be satisfied." ”

Looking at the eldest lady's impatient look, she added, "Alas, it hurts to think about it, to Brother Ming'er's generation, except for the second brother of the third uncle's family, none of the children and nephews who have stayed in his hometown have made a name for themselves until now, if Brother Ming can be admitted to Xiucai, it will not be in vain for the reputation of our Zhen family's poetry and book heirloom." ”

As soon as the words came out, the second lady immediately took two steps back and hid herself in the back of the eldest lady. The eldest lady looked at the old lady's darkened face, and gritted her teeth in anger, this Yu Qinglian really can't open any pot.

In the early years, when the old lady gave birth to the eldest son, the old man devoted himself to the imperial examination, and there was less discipline for the eldest son, and the old lady was extremely doting on him. gave birth to the eldest grandson within a year of marriage, and the eldest wife was naturally self-conscious, so the uncle also embarked on his father's path and did not want to study hard.

The old lady knew the pimple in her old man's heart, so the third master and the fourth master were personally disciplined by him, and the results were calculated. It's just that the old lady's knees are empty, so she and the eldest lady brought up the uncle, although she has asked the eldest lady to discipline her strictly, but the eldest lady promised to be good in front of her, and she will be spoiled as much as she turns around, so she has been taken out by the old lady to teach her.

Although the old lady had a lot of opinions in her heart, who let this eldest daughter-in-law choose herself, so she just stopped talking with a calm face, but she didn't have a seizure in public.

The atmosphere in Changkang Courtyard was not dull for long, and the old lady appeared with a group of men, and waved his hand to the group of people who were still waiting, "Brother Ming is going to enter the examination room today, I and the fourth child will send it, you are all scattered, you can do whatever you have to do." It's just a child's test and it's not a big deal, it's too frivolous to get together like this, and it's all scattered, scattered. ”

So everyone had to step forward to say goodbye, and even the fourth wife stopped talking about turning back one step at a time.

Zhen Wanyi held her mother's arm, "Mother, don't worry, with your father and grandfather by your side, the sixth brother will definitely be able to pass the exam." You stay there so restlessly, I'm afraid that the sixth brother will be nervous when he sees it. ”

The fourth lady sighed, "Aren't I worried, although the master said that your sixth brother is fine, and your grandfather also nodded to let your sixth brother go, but you see your grandfather, when did he be so cautious, and only on the first day of the new year to worship the ancestors, the family is so gathered, right?

I'm just worried that your sixth brother won't play well and let your grandfather down, in the past, your grandfather could be in the middle of the imperial history of the fifth grade, and he has seen the emperor, do you think, he is such a calm person who wants to accompany your sixth brother to the examination room, can I not be nervous?"

Zhen Wanyi recalled the children of the Zhen family she had seen, the eldest master was stingy and not clever enough, the second master was purely a gentleman, walking around the horse and Zhangtai all day long, speculating and drilling camps everywhere, fortunately, he was just a concubine, and there were many people pressed on the top, and he didn't dare to mess around, so only some gossip came into the backyard, but such words have always been concealed, even she knew that the second master of the Zhen family had a trick in Qingyue Building, but the family was calm.

The third master's family has never seen each other in the capital, and the fourth master is her father, who has a free and unrestrained temperament and is extremely emotional, so among the three brothers in her hometown, only her father can afford it.

In her generation, there is only one son in the big house, that is, the uncle Zhen Shengjie, who is very much like the eldest master, but this also has an advantage, at least she can watch the house and not spend all day drinking.

There are three sons and four daughters in the second room, Zhen Wanyi is most familiar with the eighth sister Zhen Wenyi, and the others are just nodding their heads when they meet, and according to the old lady, none of them can read. However, in Zhen Wanyi's opinion, even if there is a seedling of reading in the second room, the old lady or the eldest lady can let him be destroyed, just look at how the old lady treats the second master, you can see that her attitude towards the concubine is coming, the standard is raised, otherwise the second master will not marry a concubine from a foreign family and come back, so that there is no one in the second room who can be on the table.

Compared with a few, Sifang really stands out in Zhen's Mansion, the fourth wife and the fourth master are outstanding in themselves, and the sons raised are also smart and sensible, no wonder the second room of the big house has joined forces to boycott the fourth room intentionally or unintentionally. It's no wonder that Mrs. Zhen is so concerned about Brother Ming's child test, doesn't she think that there are successors in the Zhen Mansion who can glorify the ancestors?

"Mother, don't worry, you don't know your brother's temperament yet, if he wasn't sure, he wouldn't take the initiative to ask for the exam. You might as well think about tipping in the future. ”
