Before leaving, Fang Ye went to Aunt Bai's house to say goodbye.

Aunt Bai was naturally very reluctant to give up her son, and she couldn't help but shed tears as she spoke.

Aunt Bai lost her child a few years ago, and her body has not been very useful, although there is no major illness, but small injuries and small pains are always constant.

Uncle Fang has also come less and less in recent years.

Aunt Bai was not in the limelight as before, and her momentum was much weaker in front of Mrs. Fang.

Mrs. Fang was naturally satisfied with this situation.

The embroidered fragrance is calm, the person is young, but he doesn't talk much, and the clothes are thoughtful, but it attracts the uncle to often rest there.

Now that three years have passed, this kind of situation is exactly what Mrs. Fang is happy to see.

Mrs. Fang smacked, it was time to give Xiuxiang a child and stabilize her position in the Fang Mansion.

Over the years, although Xiuxiang has been favored, but not conceived, the biggest aspect is that Mrs. Fang did in secret, in the past, I only knew the character of Xiuxiang, and I didn't know if it was available, but now I can see it clearly, it is better to let go of some power.

When Xiuxiang has a child in the future, she will beg for a living under Mrs. Fang, first, Mrs. Fang can catch the other party more firmly, and second, if there will be a new concubine in the future, she will not have to take action personally.

Aunt Bai has suffered a lot in the concubine when she was in the limelight a few years ago, there is no way, Mrs. Fang is the main room, that is, the concubine is favored, and the heirs are not able to pass it when they say that they are clearly divided between concubines.

Fang Ye said goodbye to Aunt Bai who was reluctant to go to Qiuyu, and Mrs. Fang naturally wanted to tell her to show her mother's concern.

Fang Ye had his own thoughts. He saw that it was not good for Aunt Bai to be so wrong, and he also made up his mind about the imperial examination.

Uncle Fang naturally hopes that all his sons can be successful, "Good students to prepare for the exam." "I confessed that. He watched his concubine go away.

Mrs. Fang's feelings were a little contradictory.

On the one hand, she hoped that Fang Ye could do well in the exam, so that in the future, Brother Sheng could have something to rely on in the court. On the one hand, she didn't want Fang Ye to do well in the exam, which boosted Aunt Bai's arrogance, but the enemy disappeared.

Thinking. Mrs. Fang couldn't help but sigh for a while.

(10) dǐng (10) diǎn (10) 小 (10) said, .≌.o≦s_ ();

……

"Mother, son is gone." Yao Qian smiled and looked at Mrs. Yao, whose eyes were slightly red.

Mrs. Yao diǎndiǎn head, her fingers approached the corner of her son's clothes. With tears in his eyes, he said, "You have to be careful and take care of yourself." ”

Yao Qian hooked the corners of his lips and diǎndiǎn head.

Yao Qi stood on one side and watched his brother go away with Mrs. Yao.

Turning around and getting into the carriage, Yao Qian stopped. He glanced sideways and back. After a moment, he lifted the curtain and went in—

This imperial examination is very important for Yao Qian and Yao Mansion.

In the past two years, the situation in Yaofu has been getting worse and worse, and there are fewer and fewer people visiting relatives, and the children of the official family have become more and more unhappy when they see each other.

"Ugh." Thinking about it, Yao Qian in the carriage couldn't help but sigh, his eyes burning.

……

Fang Ran rarely returned to the door in August. But he was talking to Mrs. Fang about Chen Yi.

"Thank you mother for agreeing to my wishes."

Regarding Chen Yi's scientific expedition, Fang Ran and Lin Yang naturally had no extra expenses. Fang Ran came to the door and begged Mrs. Fang.

Mrs. Fang saw that Fang Ran hadn't done anything out of the ordinary in the past few years, and her aunt was still safe in the backyard, so she agreed to her request, and it was only a dozen taels of silver.

A month has passed, and Wen Hui's daily life has not changed much, but when she came out for activities, she occasionally met Fang Yan, and there seemed to be a flash of lightning between the two.

Fang Qian has hated Fang Yan more and more in the past few years, but her attitude towards Wen Hui has improved slightly, and she is a lot more sensitive, and she obviously feels that the atmosphere between Fang Yan and Wen Hui is not right.

Her eyes flashed suddenly, and Fang Qian's eyes showed two points of excitement, and she grabbed Wen Hui on one side and kept laughing, which made Wen Hui very surprised.

"Sister Qian doesn't have to go to school?"

Fang Qian has been getting older in recent years, and she is thirteen or fourteen years old, so Mrs. Fang is also anxious to lead her daughter to see her relatives.

Fang Qian occasionally used this to sarcastically say a sentence or two about Fang Yan, "Sister, can you decide someone?" ”

The corners of Fang Yan's mouth twitched, her face looked two points ugly, and she looked up at Wen Hui and Fang Qian, who were doing a lot of things, with two points of unkindness in their eyes, and said with a smile: "Naturally, my mother is in charge of me." ”

Fang Qian's temperament since she was a child is not easy to mess with, let alone angry, and in the past two years, she feels that she has increased her scheming a little, and she opened her mouth to say: "Sister, don't be an old girl." ”

Fang Yan is seventeen after the Spring Festival this year, where can she not be in a hurry? However, the second lady has a high vision, and she can't look down on the low, and she can't marry the high.

Gritting her teeth, Fang Yan smiled with two points of hatred and said, "Sister doesn't have to worry. ”

The scene that the three of them wanted to see inexplicably became that Wen Hui and Fang Qian were often in one place, and Fang Yan was in one place with a small fan.

This is especially true at the time of Eijudo.

Old Madam Fang naturally felt it, but she felt that it was normal for a few girls to have a small fight, and she just said, "Don't lose your peace", and she didn't interfere too much. There are a lot of girls in the backyard of Fangfu, and it is inevitable that one or two will have conflicts, is it possible that Mrs. Fang still wants to make peace one by one?

……

"It's better to call me Ye Fang." Fang Ye smiled at Yao Qian.

It is said that the two of them took the first exam, looked around, and never met any familiar people, most of the township exams were children of commoners or children of petty officials, and the princely family could not participate in the imperial examination.

It's rare for the two of them to be able to say a word or two among strangers.

Fang Ye smiled and said, "I'm also very surprised, I thought that the Fang Mansion didn't ......have much to do with the Yao Mansion," he said, stopped talking for a moment, and looked at Yao Qian with a look of apology.

Yao Qian was also stunned when he heard this, and after a moment, the smile on his face faded, and then said: "It's nothing, it's just that each province has its own choice." ”

The secret path was so happy that he got carried away for a while. Fang Ye looked at Yao Qian with two points of apology.

Yao Qian didn't seem to take it to heart, and started to talk. Speaking of other places.

The two of them got along with each other, but it was not like they had a gap in their previous speech.

At the end of the township test, Fang Ye still seemed to be reluctant to part with Yao Qian. said: "Brother Yao is really my confidant. ”

Yao Qian smiled lightly: "If there is a chance, I am also willing to talk to Brother Fang." ”

The two smiled and parted, as if they were brothers.

After getting into the carriage, Yao Qian put down the curtain, and after sitting firmly, his face sank.

Fang Cai's smiling face was still a slight, he squinted. Leaning quietly against the wall of the car.

The carriage staggered along, and the noisy chatters of passers-by and the cries of vendors could be faintly heard.

Half a day.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes. Looking at the lucky bag on the head with burning eyes, the tassel shook and shook, staring at it so tightly that the people around it were a little dizzy.

"Brother Ye'er is still happy in the exam?" Old Madam Fang asked with a smile.

Fang Ye arched his hand. "Thank you grandmother for your concern." One qiē is good. ”

Mrs. Fang smiled and said, "This kid went back to the house yesterday, and I was afraid that he would be tired, so I asked him to go back and rest first." ”

Mrs. Fang diǎndiǎn head: "Naturally, it should be like this." ”

Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Fang Ye's face, but his palms were tightly pinched together, and his muscles were bruised.

"I haven't eaten yet." Old Madam Fang said with a side face, "Embroidered girl." I called someone to set the table. ”

Splendid Lianlian diǎn head should be.

But in a moment, the young ladies and young masters in each room also came to say goodbye.

Wen Hui rubbed her sleepy eyes, which were still a little foggy. Doesn't seem very sober.

I didn't have to go to school today, I thought I could sleep a little longer, but who knew that Fang Ye had already returned home after the exam.

Standing not far away, Wen Hui glanced at the young man standing in the hall.

However, at the age of fourteen or fifteen, he smiled lightly and looked very gentle.

"Let's all sit down and eat." Old Madam Fang's words caused everyone to sit down.

Mrs. Fang was talking with a smile, and at the same time gave Fang Ye vegetables from time to time, as if she was very pleased with her son who had not returned for a long time.

"Sister Hui, if you try this fish, I think it tastes good." Fang Qian winked at Wen Hui and said in a good voice.

Wen Hui twitched the corners of her mouth invisibly, laughed dryly, stretched out her chopsticks and tasted it.

Fang Yan couldn't help but look sideways, only to see Wen Hui and Fang Qian sitting together, looking much more intimate than before.

"Sister Hui, you taste this porridge, it's very good." Fang Qian pushed the bowl of soup porridge on the side of her hand.

Wen Hui hung her head silently, looking at the bowl of porridge that was moved in front of her, and she was a little speechless.

Should she be happy for Fang Qian's overtures?

Holding the porridge bowl, Wen Hui silently brought it to her lips and took a sip.

sighed: Fang Qian is really enthusiastic about her these days.

Fang Yan bit her lower lip with her teeth, raised her face, and looked at Wen Hui and Fang Qian, who were interacting attentively, with burning eyes, and her face looked gloomy.

The result of this back and forth is-

Wen Hui's breakfast is over.

……

Fang Ye's return was always a diǎndiǎn joy to the Fang Mansion, but now that she didn't know what the situation was, Aunt Bai still restrained herself and looked at Mrs. Fang's face.

Fang Sheng occasionally returned to Fang's Mansion from the Hanlin Academy, and when he saw Fang Ye, he smiled lightly and said goodbye, so he didn't say anything else.

Fang Ye felt that he was able to play alone, but in the past month, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart.

It was still early before the release of the list, and he had been studying in the study and didn't go out much.

Mrs. Fang called Xiao Si, who followed Fang Ye, and asked about the situation of the exam.

Xiao Si's mouth learned that he had actually met with Yao's sister-in-law on the way, and the two talked very happily, so his face couldn't help but sink two points.

After a while, he called someone to summon Fang Ye to the big room.

Mother and son naturally greeted each other

"Listen to the people around you, you get along well with Young Master Yao of Yao Mansion." Mrs. Fang's face remained unchanged, and she mentioned it as if she didn't care.

Hearing this, Fang Ye was stunned, and for a moment, he hooked his lips and smiled, and said, "Mother said Yao Qian Yao Gongzi?" Before the words fell, he continued: "It's just that I met Yao Gongzi halfway through, and we just said a few more words, acquaintances meet each other, it's not good to pretend not to know each other." ”

There were no loopholes in the words, and Mrs. Fang didn't say anything more when she heard this.

Although Fang Mansion and Yao Mansion have not been in frequent contact recently, but in the end, when they meet, the etiquette must be followed, and they can't help but speak.

Diǎndiǎn head, Mrs. Fang smiled and said, "Brother Sheng is already in the Hanlin Courtyard now, I hope you can also enter together, so that you two brothers can support each other." ”

Fang Ye diǎn head should be.

Out of the wing room and sank his face, he raised his feet and walked out of the main courtyard, his face sank, and he happened to look sideways at Xiao Si who was following behind him, and he couldn't help but feel gloomy again.

Aunt Bai didn't dare to go to see Fang Ye from time to time, she didn't want to, but Mrs. Fang was always guarding against thieves, even if she went there once a time, she had to be careful.

I'm afraid that no one is more worried about Fang Ye's exam than her.

The days passed like water, but it was January again, and the release of the township test came.

When Fang Ye learned that today was the release day, his heart inevitably jumped a few times, and he was very nervous.

Mrs. Fang sent someone to check.

"Congratulations, madam, the young master has passed the township test." The little girl who returned was happy and sweet.

As soon as Mrs. Fang heard it, she knew a thing or two.

After the township test......

That means that you have never won the top three.

In an instant, Mrs. Fang was overjoyed.

Originally, Fang Ye was worried that the township test would suppress Brother Sheng'er, and he didn't want to, so he didn't want to be happy, so he didn't want to be happy after passing the exam and succumbing to Brother Sheng'er?

sent the girl to report to Mrs. Fang and the uncle, as well as the second and third rooms.

Old Madam Fang listened to the diǎn head again and again, and said, "Not bad. ”

It's already afternoon for Aunt Bai to get the letter, and the anxious Aunt Bai has a white bubble on her mouth, and after getting the girl's letter, it seems to have taken a reassuring pill.

In ecstasy, while Amitabha Buddha blessed him, he couldn't help but walk around the courtyard, wanting to go out to see Fang Ye.

"Mom, ask the small kitchen to cook some meals for Brother Ye'er, now that he has passed the township test, he will try it next." Aunt Bai hooked the corners of her lips, and her face was full of joy that she couldn't hide.

The mother who was waiting was also smiling.

The yard, which looked lifeless because Bai had always lost his son a few years ago, really had some joy at this moment.

However, after the ecstasy of the first, Aunt Bai touched it slightly.

After the township test......

Suddenly, it occurred to me that Mrs. Fang's sister-in-law, Fang Sheng, had won the first place in the township test.

Thinking about it like this, Aunt Bai's whole person is not good again.

For a while, he felt that his son was a little compared to Fang Sheng, and he was a little unhappy and unwilling.

"It must be those examiners who have no eyes." Aunt Bai pulled the veil and said with a gloomy face.

Her Ye brother's knowledge has always been good, and there is never a shortage of homework, why is she not as good as the eldest lady's son?

Thinking about it, I feel chest tightness and shortness of breath,

Suddenly, it occurred to me that if there is any difference between Brother Sheng and Brother Ye, isn't it that one entered the National Prison a few years ago, but the other did not enter?

Thinking about it like this, I was even more angry, I couldn't even eat lunch, so I just sat alone on one side and got angry, and I couldn't help but shed tears while thinking about it.

Fang Ye was relieved at first, but immediately, his heart was lifted again. (To be continued.) )
