Volume 1, Chapter 74: Spring Relief (II)
Ma Chengteng didn't ask for leave early the next morning, and still went on a business trip as usual. Although Ma Chengteng's heart was boiling, he knew very well in his heart that the more he was at this critical time, the more he had to calm down. Let everyone know that he is not unusual at all, and when his son is accidentally hit, others will think that he is lucky, and will not doubt it.
Of course, Ma Chengteng hopes that these subjects are real exam questions, and if the exam questions are real, then his son will definitely be able to pass.
In the last two days, Mr. had a holiday to let the students rest and recuperate enough to go to the examination room. Ma Peng is no exception, going home to rest on vacation.
Cheng's was released, the eldest young master happened to be about to take the exam, Liu Pozi was afraid that Cheng's broken jar would break and play some tricks to make the eldest young master unable to go to the scientific examination, that was a hundred and twenty hearts. In terms of food, I personally stared at it, and even in terms of clothing, I gave it to the two personal maids.
Mrs. Liu's worries were superfluous, and her son asked for a scientific expedition Ma Chengteng also took two days off, and the boss approved it very happily.
Ma Chengteng didn't bother to ask for leave this time, because many colleagues asked for leave because their son wanted to take a scientific examination, and Ma Chengteng was not the only one. In this case, the boss will approve it very happily. If there is no son in the family who wants to take this step, it is natural to go home and tell his son about the things that need to be paid attention to in the exam.
Ma Chengteng didn't tell him about the exam. Ma Chengteng just called Ma Peng to the study and told Ma Chengteng that he had grabbed a few questions and asked Ma Chengteng to show him.

Ma Peng looked at a few questions and was very entangled. He originally wanted to have a good rest, but this time he didn't need to tell his father, he also knew that he had no hope, because even he had no bottom. It's going to be an exam, and Dad is still holding him to do the questions, which makes him very nervous.
Under Ma Chengteng's sharp gaze, Ma Peng made an article head-on. Ma Chengteng looked at the article made by his son, and his brows were so furrowed that he could kill a few flies. If you don't write well, you don't talk about it, and you don't get to the point at all. If it is really just these few exam questions, my son will definitely fall off the list.
Ma Chengteng didn't show Ma Peng his good article, and he also had concerns. If the article is from him, if his son passes the exam, he will definitely be noticed. If someone sees something wrong in the article at that time, it will be a disaster. Therefore, although Ma Chengteng was not satisfied with Ma Peng's article, he still patiently told Ma Peng about the shortcomings, and then told him how to grasp the key points, and then told Ma Peng how to write to satisfy the examiner.
Ma Chengteng asked Ma Peng to write and repair, repair and write, except for sleeping in the study all the time, Ma Peng became a bitter gourd face. Even Ma Yuan felt that Ma Chengteng was too much, and reminded tactfully: "Master, the young master will go to the examination room tomorrow, if he goes in this state, I am worried that the young master will not be able to hold on." β
Ma Chengteng waved his hand: "I have measure." "As long as I can take the exam, my son sees the same exam question, and it is too late to be happy, where will he not be able to hold on.
After two days of revision, Ma Chengteng felt that it was almost over. The current article is revised at the level of the son.,It's in the middle but it's not too conspicuous.,It's just good.γ
Seven hours before the exam, Ma Chengteng let Ma Peng go to rest: "Sleep soundly, and take the exam tomorrow." As for the nonsense that it doesn't matter if you don't pass the test, Ma Chengteng won't say it.
After his son fell asleep, Ma Chengteng summoned Ma Yuan and asked Ma Yuan if he was doing well. Originally, these were all things that the wife of the family did, but now Ma Cheng is guarding against the Cheng family, and he has entrusted all the affairs of the eldest son to his henchmen. Ma Yuan is very meticulous in his work, and he can take all aspects into account, and he is more at ease.
Ma Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, master, it's all right." "Ma Yuan was also very worried before, the eldest young master was too honest to support this family; The second young master is very smart, but his mind is not on his studies, nor is he at home, he is very worried about the future of the Ma family.
However, since the eldest young master has set a good family, his heart has also been determined, and when the eldest young lady passes the door, I believe that the mansion will be fine, and a good housewife can affect the future of a family.
Mother Deng returned to Lian's house and gave Ma Chengteng's jade pendant to Yueyao: "Girl, this is given to you by your uncle." What does this mean, girl? "I didn't have a word to just give a jade pendant, and Mother Deng didn't understand what it meant to come over with a jade pendant.
Yue Yao looked at the jade pendant and said with a smile: "Uncle is telling me that he will not tell the second person about this, let me rest assured." She was actually worried that her uncle would ask about something, but she didn't expect her uncle to tell him that this matter would end there.
Mother Deng hesitated: "Girl, do you think there will be a mistake in this?" "If the young master is won, it will be the girl's credit, and in the future, if the girl asks the young master for anything, the young master will definitely help, but if it doesn't win, Bai Huan will be happy."
Yueyao didn't know if it was just these test questions: "Look at the will of heaven!" "Passing the exam will make my eldest cousin have a good future. The fate of the cousin who failed the exam has also changed, and if he marries the eldest girl of the banker's family, no matter how bad it is, it will not be the same as in the previous life.
Mother Deng remembered the gambling house she passed by on the way back, and it was not lively with people coming and going. smiled and told Yue Yao about this interesting story: "Girl, I heard that some people bet on Jiangnan candidate Yu Zida Zhongyuanlang. β
Yueyao's face changed, thinking that Mother Deng was asking her to bet, but her color changed again and again: "Mom, don't say this again." "Asking her to bet is not to let her gamble, in Yueyao's eyes, gambling is a means of indiscriminateness.
Mother Deng came back to her senses, her girl's appearance was really a headache, she was just telling interesting stories, how could she think of this. How could she let the girl bet, if the lady knew that she would not be able to rest under the nine springs. But I can't say this to Yueyao, for fear that Yueyao won't be able to get over it: "Girl, it's all the old slave's fault." βγβ
Yueyao is actually a little allergic to this matter, of course, the main reason is that Ma Yue lost all the property of the Ma family in gambling in her previous life, which made her remember deeply: "Mom, don't blame yourself, I know that you are for my good, but the money in my hand is enough." "The money in her hand is enough for a lifetime, and there is no need to hold the silver again.
Speaking of which, Yueyao was still influenced by her previous life, to be precise, it was a common problem among scholars in this era. That is: everything is inferior, only reading is high.
When Yueyao was practicing calligraphy in the study, she suddenly put down her pen and sat on the chair to reflect on whether she was too pedantic, she could use this opportunity to set up Mo's set, and let Mother Deng make a fortune, something that could kill two birds with one stone.
Yueyao thought about it for a long time, but in the end, her interests gave her the upper hand. called Deng's mother at the moment: "How much private money does my mother have?" β
Mother Deng didn't know what Yueyao was going to do, but she knew that the girl definitely didn't want her private money: "Girl, I have saved more than 2,000 taels of silver over the years. "For a servant woman, more than two thousand taels is a huge amount of money.
Yueyao didn't think there was anything strange about Mother Deng's more than two thousand taels of silver, she had been by her mother's side for so many years, and she was the housekeeper of the second room, more than two thousand taels was really not much: "I'll give you some more to make up three thousand taels, and you let Hua Bud give this money to his uncle to go to the money bank to place a bet, and bet on Zida three yuan and the first." β
Mother Deng's eyes were about to pop out, and she opened her mouth for a long time before saying: "Girl, aunt ......" How could a girl with such a high temperament bet? The sun came out in the west.
Yueyao didn't explain to Deng's mother: "Mom, go do it, I'll explain it to you later." "It doesn't make sense now.
Seeing this, Deng's mother didn't ask any more questions. Mother Deng has an advantage, that is, Yueyao lets her do whatever she wants, and never asks about cause and effect, which makes Yueyao very relaxed.
Hua Bud was a little stupid at the moment when she held the silver ticket of three thousand taels: "Mom......"
Mother Deng told Hua Bud the reason: "You let your uncle do things safely, don't let people know." Such a good opportunity is really unbearable if you don't make a fortune. β
Hua Bud was a little uneasy: "How does my mother know that this Yu Zida will definitely be able to reach the third yuan?" "Where can this kind of thing be determined.
Mother Deng naturally brought out Ma Chengteng to talk about things: "I went to my uncle's mansion yesterday, and I listened to what my uncle said, and several Confucians in the court are very optimistic about this Yu Zida, and they all say that he is a good seedling that is rare in a century, maybe he can be three yuan and first, I will bet that a few Confucians are right." β
Hua Bud hesitated: "Mom, if you want a little less, just a thousand taels." In case ...... "If Yu Zida doesn't have three yuan and the first, then it will all be in vain."
Mother Deng waved her hand: "If you want to go, you can go, where there are so many words." Remember not to tell the girl. Mother Deng said this sentence is actually a temptation, she wants to see if Hua Bud will act behind the girl's back because she is the girl's confidant mother.
Although Hua Bud said that she usually obeys Mother Deng's words, how dare she hide the girl from such a big matter, and when the time comes, the girl will not be implicated if something happens.
Yueyao got the words of the flower bud, and called Mother Deng in front of the flower bud and said, "Mom, didn't you say that you can't bet, why are you still so persistent." β
Mother Deng was not angry at Hua Bud's informant, Hua Bud told the girl that she was still satisfied. Not to mention, she has to re-evaluate whether Hua Bud can be used: "Girl, I want to make more money, I will have money in the future, and I won't worry about it when I get old." β
Yueyao's lips moved, "Since my mother insists, it will be done." Bud, you give these silver tickets to your uncle, go now. β
Mother Deng's face turned pale, and she just wanted to speak, but Yue Yao shook her head at her. Mother Deng had to swallow the words back from her mouth.
After the buds went out, Mother Deng was anxious: "Girl, how can you ...... Girl, do you really want to bet? Mother Deng thought that Yueyao was just testing the buds, or the uncles who were testing the buds, how did she know that Yueyao really bet. This is different from the girl she remembers, as if she has been split into two.
Yue Yao glanced at Mother Deng: "Mom, I asked you to do this, not to test the flower buds." Mom, I can trust her after so many years of being by my side. "Actually, you can test Bud's uncle through this matter.
Mother Deng was a little worried, if this matter was known, it would hurt the girl a lot: "Girl, if it is known by Mo's, the consequences will be unimaginable." β
Yue Yao smiled: "It's better if you don't know, it's better to know." β
Mother Deng is now more and more unable to see through her own girl, but she didn't ask, since the girl has a spectrum in her heart, then she is not worried.
