So in the next few months, Cai Wei was surprised to find that not only did Grandma Jun no longer come to her for trouble, but even Yifei no longer sneered at her, and often came to her room with Yifang to sit in her room.

Every time he couldn't say a few words, he talked about Yifang's family affairs, and then inquired about the family where Cai Wei was married.

Although Cai Wei didn't know what idea she wanted to make, how dare she say it, whenever she saw her ask, she pretended to be shy, or interrupted with other words, and never confided in half a sentence.

Yifei came a few times, and when she returned in vain, not only did she not hear anything from Cai Wei, but even her maids were so tight that they couldn't pry a word, so they didn't bother to run to Qiutang Courtyard again. Only Yifang still came to talk to Wu Wan and Cai Wei from time to time.

Although she wanted to be friendly with Wu Wan, she could only say a few words that she couldn't say in her heart in Caiwei's room.

She hadn't seen Wu Chong for a long time, for fear of delaying him to prepare for the exam. Seeing that this spring period was getting closer and closer, Yifang's heart became more and more flustered. Whether she and Wu Chong can become an alliance depends on whether Wu Chong can be named on the gold list this time. She originally thought that her affair with the cousin of the Wu family was secret, and no one knew about it, but she was seen by her eldest wife. After the first night, she was tried once, and she had to beg her mother to fulfill the two of them.

The eldest lady also came from the girl's house, and when she was in the boudoir, she secretly read the name of a certain young boy in her heart, over and over again. Now seeing her daughter crying pitifully, her heart softened, and she said that if Wu Chongneng was named in the annuity list of this big competition and ranked among the top three, she would persuade her father to agree to this family business.

But this high school top three, how can it be so easy, I don't know how many people in the world are reading, not to mention the ten-year cold window, some are boiling white, and they can't even get into the lift, let alone the top three in this palace.

And her worries can only be confided in Cai Wei here, although Cai Wei doesn't care whether Zeng Yi can be on the gold list in high school, she also knows that Zeng Yi must want to be named on the gold list so as to revive his family's family business. Therefore, he was also in suspense every day, so he had to pray secretly, hoping that his brother could get what he wanted.

She was anxious for a month, and it was easy to wait for the three exams to be completed, knowing that this test for nine days was extremely exhausting, Yifang hurriedly went to visit her sweetheart first, and saw that although Wu Chong was a little tired, it was fine, so she was a little relieved.

Although Cai Wei was also worried about Zeng Yi, it was inconvenient to send someone to inquire, so she had to sit in the room and wait for the day when the list was released.

Although there is no descendant of the Zhao family to take the exam in this year's Spring Festival, Mrs. Tai thinks about her own grandchildren, Brother Ammonium is the same as his father, if he can't write or martial arts, he will be a loser. Brother Ming and Brother Rui are good, but unfortunately they have to keep their father's filial piety and cannot participate in the scientific examination within three years. As for Brother Cheng'er, because his foundation is too poor, Mrs. Tai does not expect him to take the road of the imperial examination, so she invited two martial arts masters for him, hoping that he will join the army in the future and inherit his father's business.

Because her grandson can't count on it at the moment, Mrs. Tai has a little more hope for Wu Chong's grandson, and on the day of the list, she ordered someone to go to see the list early in the morning, but the news she brought back was extremely disappointing.

Wu Chong, no name on the list, name down Sun Shan.

Three days later, Cai Wei finally knew that her Wenguang brother Zeng Yi was not only on the list, but also topped the list, winning the first place in Huiyuan.

For a while, she was sad for Wu Chong and Yifang, and she was happy for Zeng Yi High School. Her maids were even more smiling, thinking that her future uncle was so competitive and capable, if she could win the champion in the palace test again, she would marry their girls back in a beautiful manner, and she would never have to be bullied in this mansion again.

A few of them are rejoicing here, but they don't know what blessings and misfortunes are lurking, because they are too happy and excited these days, and they can't say a few words when they are together, so they want to mention it.

These two girls were originally planted by Aunt Liu, and in recent days, they have been instructed to try their best to find out who Miss Zhou's fiancé is, and when they heard a few words, they hurriedly went to Aunt Liu's side to express their merits.

As soon as Aunt Liu heard that the future aunt of the girl that week was actually Huiyuan this time, she immediately ordered someone to find out his name and surname, and knew that the surname was Zeng Mingyi. This Aunt Liu was thinking about how to inquire about the elders in his family, so that they could withdraw from this family affair with Cai Wei, but she couldn't do it.

"What's so difficult about this, is it possible that you can only get out of his family by finding his parents? It's inconvenient for our woman's family to come forward, so we just ask my brother to find him, and just say that when the girl was in our house that week, she and her cousin were childhood sweethearts, two little guesses, and the two of them seemed to be good. Although the two of them have made their own marriages, in the past three years, these two people have often ignored the rules of etiquette and often met secretly. ”

How many years have passed, Yi Feike still remembers her cousin Zhao Yiming's flattery to Zhou Caiwei in every way, especially for how much she begged, Zhao Yiming just refused to give her the little white cat, but gave Caiwei to her in his heart. Immediately, I thought of using this to ruin Caiwei's reputation.

"As long as my brother tells Zeng Yi these words, he will immediately divorce Zhou Yatou, which man in the world likes to have a green head on his head?"

The happy Aunt Liu praised her daughter for being smart, but although they had a good plan, it was a pity that Zhao Yiammon, who was sent out, was a master who had not achieved enough things and had more than enough failures, no matter how much his mother told him, as soon as he left the house, he was greeted by his group of fox friends and dog friends, and immediately left his mother's explanation of him behind, and only cared about going to eat and gamble for money.

Aunt Liu saw that her son couldn't be relied on, and she was worried, not wanting that when Mrs. Zeng's birthday was celebrated in April, Mrs. Zeng, Zeng Yi's mother, and Mrs. Huang, the sister-in-law of the fourth wife, came to Mrs. Anyuan's mansion to pay tribute to Mrs. Tai.

As soon as Aunt Liu heard the news, her eyes rolled, and she hurriedly bit her ear with Yifei, asking her to take a look, and sat down next to Mrs. Zeng to give the girl some eye medicine that week, and she seized the opportunity to fan the flames and said a few words.

Let's say that the reason why Mrs. Zeng came to Bofu this time to pay homage to Mrs. Zeng's birthday. First, because her son has graduated from high school and is the first name of Chunqiu, he finally has some confidence to dare to come out and walk around, and he is grateful for the heavy gift that Cai Wei sent on her birthday last year. If it weren't for the hundreds of taels of silver sent by Cai Wei, her mother and son would not know how to survive those months, so they would like to come and thank her in person.

I thought that I would come to Bofu to propose marriage after Caiwei and Lu in September, and it would be good to come and walk around first, but I didn't want to, this trip to Bofu, I actually heard some words about Caiwei that were not very good, and she was flustered when she heard it.

Mrs. Zeng was a person who couldn't pretend to be in her heart, and as soon as she returned to the Li Mansion where she lived, she fidgeted in the house and waited for her son to come back. It was easy for Zeng Yi to come back, and as soon as she said hello to her, she said all the words she heard from Yi Fei.

Finally, he sighed and said: "Alas——, when Miss Zhou lived in our house before, I also liked this girl, and she was outstanding in terms of appearance and bearing, but there were two shortcomings, one is that she is a natural foot, and the other is that the female celebrity is not good." But your father and hers have been friends for many years, and they will definitely give her to you, so I will not say anything more. But now, listening to the meaning of her cousin's words, she is actually a childhood sweetheart with her cousin, if this is really the case, she has someone else in her heart, then wouldn't this family affair wronged my son? ”

Zeng Yiwan didn't expect that his mother would come back from a trip to Uncle Anyuan's mansion, and she would raise objections to this family affair! Obviously, before she went, she still had a good impression of Sister Caiwei, but now she is clearly disgusted in and out of her words. hurriedly explained: "Sister Zhou lived in Uncle Anyuan's Mansion for a period of time when she was a child, and Uncle Zhou made it clear before he discussed with his father. At that time, because of the death of Aunt Zhou, he temporarily sent Sister Zhou to his grandfather's house, and the fifth wife in the house originally wanted to set Sister Zhou to her son, and the two of them were also young at that time, so they often took them together and laughed mischievously. Later, Uncle Zhou found out and felt that something was wrong, so he personally took Sister Zhou back. After careful calculation, Sister Zhou only lived in Nafu for less than a year when she was a child, how can she and her cousin be considered childhood sweethearts, two little guesses, and how deep can they have a friendship? Mother doesn't have to worry about those rumors! ”

"But I heard that when the girl of the Zhou family lived in this uncle's mansion, she lived in the courtyard of the fifth room, and she and her cousin Mingming ate at the same table, and lay down on the same bed for a nap. This man and woman don't sit at the same table at the age of seven, and no matter how young she was at that time, she was also seven years old, right? If this spreads, it will not be a good reputation for innocence! What's more, now that the two of them are still living in the same house, they can't see the ...... when they look up."

Zeng Yi frowned, his mother has always been unassertive, when his father was alive, his father was in charge, and after his father died, he always asked his own ideas first when he encountered problems, and he always followed his own wishes, but today he has made his position clear, why is his mother still holding on?

"What should I do according to my mother's wishes?"

"Didn't you say that the fifth wife of Nabo Mansion wanted to set her for her son, and your father and the Zhou family only made a verbal covenant on the day of Hengzhu, and they didn't do it before, so it's better to ......"

"Does Mother want to quit this family business?" Zeng Yi asked in a deep voice.

Mrs. Zeng saw that her son's expression was a little wrong, but when she thought that this was a major marriage event, she must not be careless, although she didn't dare to say it openly, she said: "You don't know, since you won the Huiyuan, several official wives have asked me about you these days!" Although the girl was good that week, she was an orphan girl without a father or mother, and even though the dowry was rich, her mother's family could not borrow anything from her. If I can tell you about the next powerful family of my mother, there are people in this court who are good officials, and when you also become a big official, we can go back to Chang'an as soon as possible to get back what originally belonged to our long house. ”

Zeng Yiqiang suppressed the inexplicable irritability in his heart, and said solemnly: "Mother, the family affair between me and Sister Zhou was personally decided by my father in Japan, how can I not keep my word as a son of man!" What's more, I am a dignified seven-foot man, standing up to the sky, relying on my own ability to do something, and regain the loss of the day. If I have to rely on the strength of my wife and clan to give justice to my mother and son, then what face does I have to stand between heaven and earth? ”

When Mrs. Zeng saw that her son spoke so categorically and eloquently, she couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, but when she thought of the words she heard that day, she still had the courage to continue to persuade: "But I heard that the girl's life was not good that week, first her two brothers and mother were gone when she was seven years old, and then after more than three years, her father was gone, and her father and mother were gone, and I heard that even her grandmother was sick before, so she moved her away from the old lady and moved to Qiutang Courtyard." If you really marry her and come back, and then go back to Kefu, your mother will only have you as a son! ”

In the daytime, Yifei's mother and daughter told her a bunch of bad words about Cai Wei, only Aunt Liu's sentence "Ke Father Ke Mu Ke Qin" poked her heart the most, she gave birth to a total of three sons in her life, only survived the eldest Zeng Yi, and now her husband is gone, and she will point to this only son for her in the second half of her life to support her for the elderly.

Zeng Yi rubbed his forehead a little helplessly, and persuaded them one by one: "Mother, Uncle Zhou and my father discussed marriage that day, but it was a match made in heaven to take me and Sister Zhou's birthdays to Zhongnan Mountain to invite a master to meet." If Sister Zhou's life is not in line with her son's, how can her father decide on this family business? Mother should stop thinking about finding another family for her son, although a few wives have come to ask a few words, but if the son can't even pass the second grade in the next palace examination, does the mother think that there will be any fourth- or fifth-grade official wives to inquire with the mother again? ”

Zeng Yi saw it very clearly in his heart, the so-called "catching a son-in-law under the list", did he really fancy that scholar, I am afraid that it is more about the fame of that person in the examination! But his sister Caiwei would say to him, "Whether you are in high school or not, I am waiting for you to come!" "What a regret is there to have a wife like this!

Mrs. Zeng was a little unrelenting, and continued to mumble: "With my son's talent, even if I win the top prize, I am not allowed to curse myself like this first." Besides, between the girl and her cousin that week, Yi'er, you really don't mind at all, right? ”

Zeng Yi shook his head very dryly and said: "My son doesn't mind at all, it's just the brother-sister relationship when he was young, what's more, if the person who gossiped to his mother was really a young lady in Nabo's mansion, wouldn't his mother think this matter was too suspicious?" How can a young lady who has not been out of the cabinet say some gossip like this, and she is not afraid that the reputation of her cousin and cousin will be hindered, it can be seen that if she is not deliberately bad, she is a person who does not understand the rules of etiquette. From the words of such unruly young ladies, how much does my mother think can be trusted? ”

"And what the aunt said, I'm afraid it's even more untruthful, in our old house, my mother has not seen the skills of those aunts in the second and third rooms, and she is used to building bridges and stirring fire. I'm afraid that the two of them deliberately said it to their mother, if the mother believed it, she would have a grudge against Sister Zhou from now on, but she fell for them! ”

The more he talked, the more he felt that his mother was being calculated today, but he was afraid that those two people deliberately said these words to his mother to spoil his relationship with Caiwei's sister. Zeng Yi's face became a little gloomy unconsciously, why did her cousin use such a vicious method to calculate her? How is Sister Caiwei doing in Nafu, good or bad?

Zeng Yi had something in his heart, so he wanted to say goodbye to his mother first, but he didn't want to raise his eyes, but he found that the look on his mother's face was extremely uncomfortable, but it seemed to be a little uneasy.

Zeng Yi suddenly thought of a possibility, and hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask Mother, after listening to the words of those two people, did you see Sister Zhou again?" ”

Mrs. Zeng nodded a little weakly, and then explained: "I didn't say anything to her, Yi'er, don't worry, my mother is not such a talkative person!" ”

Zeng Yi's heart sank, yes, his mother is indeed not a talkative person, but there are some things that don't need to be said, which is enough to make people feel that something is different. And his mother is such a person who never pretends to be in his heart and shows his face to others.

If Sister Caiwei sees something, if she thinks about it again, won't it add a few more worries?
