Mei Xueyan was not bothered by the things in the examination room, and felt happy when she returned home. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Nested in the small courtyard of the Lin Mansion all the year round, she was in a panic, and only after walking around outside did she know that the sky was clear, which made her yearn for freedom even more, and looked forward to the day when she was not limited and did not have to sneak in and out of the walls of this mansion.

There was no one around, Mei Xueyan entered with peace of mind and quietly closed the back door.

"Yan Niang, you're finally back!" Mrs. Chen stood at the gate of the small courtyard and looked around, and said happily, "Where have you been?" ”

Mei Xueyan saw that she was anxious, and smiled to signal her to be relieved.

"Is there something going on in the house?"

Mrs. Chen shook her head and said: "No, Lin Erlang returned home today, and the Shen family was busy greeting his husband, so he didn't come to look for any trouble, but the Hongzhi girl next to her came over and said to let you clean the courtyard, I'm afraid that they will know that you are not there, so they went to clean the dead leaves and snow first, and then looked for you everywhere, where did you go?" ”

Mrs. Chen was worried about her safety, and she was afraid that she would do something foolish.

"I just went to the county school once, Mother Chen, rest assured, I won't run away without permission, the deed of sale is in the hands of the Lin family, where can I escape?"

Mei Xueyan's tone was flat, as if she was talking about something innocuous and insignificant, but Mrs. Chen's expression was gloomy.

Mei Xueyan was sold into the Lin Mansion as a child daughter-in-law, and the marriage contract signed at the beginning was actually the same as the deed of sale, so like those servants and maids, it is useless to escape, once caught by the government, I am afraid that she will become a prostitute slave, which is a hundred times more miserable than being a subordinate.

"Yan Niang, it's good if you understand, it's okay if our lives are difficult, it's okay that your net worth and life are still there, you must not do stupid things until you have to, you are still young, and you will come out one day." When San Lang comes back from the barracks and officially marries you, you will have a better time in the future. ”

Mei Xueyan was noncommittal, and when she returned to the house, she saw a neatly folded jacket on the table, and there was a needle and thread next to it.

"Mother Chen, what is this?"

"This is brought by Miss Hongzhi, saying that some stitches have been broken and need to be sewn again."

This is Hongzhi's clothes, the fabric and silk thread are quite exquisite, much more expensive and fine than the padded jacket on her body, after all, she is Shen's personal maid. Mei Xueyan picked it up and looked at it, and the line under the armpit of the jacket opened.

"When her own clothes are torn, she will bring them to us to sew and mend them?"

Mrs. Chen snorted: "It's just a few stitches, it's not in the way." ”

Mei Xueyan was a little stunned, sewing and mending was a trivial matter, but Hongzhi completely treated them as rough subordinates.

In the past, she was also hindered by her wife's very strict rules, and she never called Mei Xueyan openly, but recently, with the Shen family's power, she only pinched them as soft persimmons, and the Shen family has a housekeeper identity, and Hongzhi is just a maid, but she regards herself as a young lady.

"Mother Chen, don't worry about this jacket, we are not her servants."

Mrs. Chen put down the needle and thread, and said hesitantly: "But she is the person next to the Shen family, which annoys her, and we will suffer again. ”

"I'm not afraid, Shen and Hongzhi are both bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, the more afraid she is, the more she will ride on our heads to make a fortune."

"Yan Niang, we can only be patient, who would dare to go against her in the Shen family except for Mrs. in the mansion? Wouldn't it be an egg hitting a stone if we provoked her? ”

Mrs. Chen has lowered her eyebrows all her life, Mei Xueyan doesn't blame her, she often mentions Lin Sanlang, and she is also looking for a thought for herself.

"Isn't it true that if we are inferior, she will not be looking for trouble? Mother Chen, you still don't understand Shen's temper? We have no backer, but all along, we are only promised, and we dare not be disobedient to her, so she has to inch in, and even the maids around us can pinch us, how long do we have to endure it? ”

Mrs. Chen said: "Yan Niang, don't be impulsive, as long as you wait for San Lang to come back, you will have a backer, and you can speak hard......"

"Anyone can belittle us, but we can't look down on ourselves, Mother Chen, you listen to me, we don't have to worry about this jacket."

Once Mei Xueyan made up her mind, Mrs. Chen couldn't resist her, so she put down her jacket solemnly.

Strange to say, Mrs. Chen suddenly gave birth to a kind of happiness, not being able to be handled by others, as if her back was straighter, and the burden on her body was not so heavy.

Mrs. Chen looked at Mei Xueyan happily, and said slowly: "Yanniang, since you recovered from your illness, you seem to have changed as a person, you have your own ideas, and your temperament has become a little stronger. ”

Mei Xueyan was slightly stunned, Mei Xueyan in her previous life had a strong temperament, and she was equivalent to being exposed to it. Mrs. Chen is the one who really cares about her, but this matter is shocking and she can't tell it.

Mei Xueyan smiled lightly and said: "When I was seriously ill, I figured it out, it is better to rely on ourselves than to go through the world and rely on others. ”

Mei Xueyan didn't say that she had a desperate mentality, and if she could be admitted to Tongsheng, she would break free from the shackles, otherwise, even if the fish was dead and the net was broken, she would no longer compromise.

As for Lin Saburo? Mei Xueyan didn't count on him at all.

She has been in the Lin Mansion for many years, and she has heard a lot of discussions from the mouth of the girl's mother-in-law, the third son of the Lin family, Lin Sanlang is the most unfavorable, otherwise she would not be excluded from joining the army.

Now in a peaceful and prosperous era, civil officials are in power, even if they are military attaches of the same level, they are a head short in front of civilian officials.

Even Lin Fu, a family of generals, doesn't want to join the army anymore, and this Lin Saburo is probably not valued by his family, so he left his hometown to join the army.

Not to mention this person's character, Mei Xueyan's own status is low, with the attitude of a lady, it is impossible for Mei Xueyan to carry a sedan chair to marry Lin Sanlang as a wife, at most she will be a concubine who can't speak and is oppressed, even if she becomes Lin Sanlang's concubine, life will not be much better.

These are not what Mei Xueyan wants.

She now has a different vision and mood, just thinking about how to control her life in her own hands, male and female love is secondary, only when she is precious, can she choose the person she likes, instead of casually committing to a man and relying on a man to live.

"Lin Sanlang is not a good son-in-law, but how to get the deed back from the Lin family?"

There is a marriage contract in the hands of the Lin family, and Mei Xueyan is restricted everywhere.

It's a long time coming, and I just waited for the township test to become a child, and I have plenty of time to plan for myself.

But said that at ten o'clock in the evening, the sun was setting in the west, Chen Junsheng was still waiting outside the county school with the book basket on his back, and as soon as the exam time came, he handed in the exam papers early, and wanted to accompany Mei Xueyan outside the school hall and send her back to the Lin Mansion, but the people were sparsely gone, and Mei Xueyan had not come out yet.

"Aren't you waiting for me somewhere else? I knew that I had made an appointment with Yan Niang. ”

People come and go in this place, and Chen Junsheng doesn't blink his eyes, for fear of passing by.

Even Feng Qiumo and the other two invigilators came out of the school, each of them carrying a wooden box with their exam papers sealed.

"Student Chen Junsheng has seen Feng Yuanjun and two invigilators."

Chen Junsheng walked over with a respectful attitude.

Feng Qiumo said "um" in his mouth, gathered the bookbox in his hand, and looked at Chen Junsheng sternly with a pair of eyes, he was an invigilator, and it was inconvenient to communicate with the candidates.

If it weren't for Chen Jun's respectful but not flattering, a little gentlemanly style, and wouldn't have bribed in front of everyone, he would definitely ignore it.

"Forgive the student for being abrupt, may I ask Feng Yuanjun, have you seen Mei Xueyan? It was the schoolgirl. The student was her companion, and she waited outside the school for a long time, afraid that she would be separated. ”

"Oh, she's gone at noon."

Feng Qiumo said coldly, and left with the other two invigilators, knowing that Chen Junsheng was not here to cheat, Feng Qiumo did not want to have too much contact with the candidates, and he set an example and never slackened off, which was also the reason why he was respected by the scholars.

"Leaving at noon?"

Chen Junsheng froze in place, his face worried.

"Isn't Mo being invigilated and removed from the quota, or is something else wrong? Yan Niangzi should be clear about the importance and will not act rashly......"

Chen Junsheng's face was cloudy, and he estimated the worst surprise.

It just so happened that Shen Ziwen also came out of the county school and heard the conversation between Chen Junsheng and Feng Yuanjun.

"Chen Junsheng, although Feng Yuanjun let her in, but the other invigilators will not show favoritism, I said that girl has no hope!"

Shen Ziwen looked proud, the stinky girl ridiculed him, and Shen Ziwen was full of joy when he heard that she was kicked out of the examination room halfway.

"Nonsense! If the invigilator does not recognize her identity as a woman, why not dissuade her from the exam before the start of the exam, but expel her halfway? ”

Chen Junsheng was worried, and naturally he didn't have a good attitude when he encountered Shen Ziwen's sneering.

Shen Ziwen said in a loud voice: "That is to disrupt the order of the examination room and be kicked out!" In my opinion, I'm afraid it's cheating, and I deserve to be caught by Feng Yuanjun. ”

"Shen Ziwen! You don't slander Yan Niang! ”

"What do you think?"

Chen Jun was angry and ruined, but his speech was not as good as Shen Ziwen's, and he couldn't say why he blushed for a while.

"In short, I know what Yan Niang is like, and she will definitely not cheat." Chen Junsheng gritted his teeth and said, "Even if she abandons the exam, she must have a secret as a last resort." ”

The difficulty of this year's township test has increased dramatically, and the time is too hasty in one day, how can it be completed in half a day? Chen Junsheng and Shen Ziwen only thought that Mei Xueyan was expelled or abandoned the exam, and did not think about it.

"The stinky girl who has no ink on her chest also wants to take the test for children? She's a little self-aware, go home early, otherwise I wouldn't be alone in watching her jokes now! Chen Junsheng, you maintain that stinky girl everywhere, do you fall in love with others? Or have you fornicated a long time ago? ”

Chen Junsheng scolded, but Shen Ziwen didn't take his "shameless people and bastards" to heart, and laughed more and more rampantly.

The young man who was with him asked: "This township test is really difficult, it is wise for that girl to retreat despite the difficulties, Brother Shen, how did you do in the exam?" ”

Shen Ziwen was proud for a while, and habitually wanted to open the folding fan, but he stopped it.

"It's okay, there's nothing wrong, it's just that the gentleman who asked the question put it together."

Although his words were modest, Shen Ziwen's high-spirited spirit could not be concealed, and he raised his neck as if he was proud of all the candidates.

"Brother Shen has answered all of them?" The young man of Qingfu exclaimed, "Even if he is demoted to a higher grade, Brother Shen is not within my reach, and others must be no better, this year's case is already in Brother Shen's pocket!" ”

Shen Ziwen pretended to be regretful and said: "There are always some shortcomings, it's a pity!" ”

The gray-robed boy also hurriedly flattered: "Then congratulations to Brother Shen in advance, ah no, Shen is the head of the case!" ”

"Hahaha!" Shen Ziwen said humbly, "It's too early to say it......
