Min Jia decided to sit on the sidelines.

The little maid came over in a panic and said, "The old lady and the fourth lady are here." ”

I can't dodge it now!

Min Jia stubbornly greeted Mrs. Guo and Zhou Shaojin at the second gate.

"What the hell is going on?" Old Madam Guo glanced at Min Jia with a tax in her eyes and said, "What about Da Lang?" What about Jiashan? ”

Who knew that Mrs. Yuan, who treated her son as an eyeball, would actually do it when she saw Cheng Xu disobeying herself!

Min Jia couldn't help but slander in her heart, but she didn't dare to show the slightest difference in front of Mrs. Guo, and bowed her head and said respectfully: "My father-in-law has already asked someone to report the news, and he hasn't come back yet." Xianggong and mother-in-law in the study...... We can't say anything......"

Old Madam Guo nodded, her heart slightly cold.

Because the mother-in-law lost her temper and had a dispute with her husband, in order not to offend people, and the stakes were very important, she couldn't let the two of them argue, so she stood outside like a fuss and avoided the limelight...... Although this is the wisest way to do it, Mrs. Guo thought of Zhou Shaojin's recklessness whenever she encountered something happened to Cheng Chi, and suddenly felt stunned by such wisdom.

And Min Jia thought of the conversation between mother and son just now, and hurriedly shouted "Grandmother is here" through the curtain and lifted the curtain.

Zhou Shaojin hesitated and didn't go in.

Yuan was so angry that he didn't know what to say, the ring ruler was thrown on the ground, and he sat on the Taishi chair next to him with red eyes.

Cheng Xu knelt in front of Yuan, his hair was a little messy, his expression was indifferent, and the cyan Hangzhou silk was worn straight on his body, and he couldn't see any external injuries.

Mrs. Guo hurriedly went to help Cheng Xu, turned her head and said to Yuan: "He is also a person who married a daughter-in-law and has a fame. You have to teach him a lesson, and you can't beat him like a child who doesn't know the world! Get up. You are a literate person, a teacher of heaven and earth. How can you make your mother angry, what can't you say well! Self-cultivation Qi family rules the country and the world, a manly husband, if he can't even handle the affairs of the inner house, let alone the major affairs of the court? You are not a child now, what to say, what not to say, what to say at this time, what to say at that time. You should be able to distinguish between ......."

Min Jia, who was standing outside the house, looked at Zhou Shaojin with some surprise, and couldn't help but look at Zhou Shaojin again.

She wore a lake-blue plain gown, with only the collar, cuffs, and hem inlaid with Daobao Xianghua hem, her face was pink, and her eyes were water-cut, which was a little brighter than the spring sun.

If she knew that Cheng Xu gave up Kaoshu Jishi for her sake, what kind of expression would she show?

Min Jia guessed.

Zhou Shaojin took a few steps back and explained to her in a low voice: "Master's face is important, so I won't go in." ”

It stands to reason that Zhou Shaojin is her aunt. If Zhou Shaojin doesn't go in, she has to be accompanied by someone, and it just so happens that Min Jia doesn't want to go in - she doesn't want to listen to the bad things between Cheng Xu and Yuan's mother and son, so she lowered her voice when she heard the words. said: "Auntie has a point. Shall I accompany my aunt to the teahouse for a cup of tea? ”

Zhou Shaojin nodded.

Regardless of whether Cheng Xu is determined not to take the test or his gaffe in anger, such a big thing, Cheng Jing is fine. Cheng Chi or even Cheng Shao. will come to persuade him, she has no intention of getting involved.

The two went to the tea room. Min Jia ordered the maid to take out the tea set and make kung fu tea for Zhou Shaojin with her own hands: "...... All the tea that comes out of our Fujian is big-leaf tea, and the leaf tea also grows on the tree, unlike the tea leaves in the south of the Yangtze River, which grow on low and short trees, so the tea that comes out there is brewed, and there are a lot of tea brewed seven or eight times, and the taste of each tea is different. It's rare for my aunt to come to Xinglin Hutong, so you might as well try the tea I made. ”

"Thank you!" Zhou Shaojin smiled and greeted her.

Soon the courtyard resounded with the sound of chaotic footsteps and the shouting of the servants: "The old man is back!" ”

"The second old lady is here!"

"The fourth master is here!"

Min Jia smiled bitterly and said apologetically to Zhou Shaojin: "For the sake of justice, let everyone drag out!" ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled and did not speak.

Between her and Min Jia, at most, they can talk about eating, wearing, and chewing, and it's best not to mention such a topic.

Things have been in trouble until the time of the lamp, Cheng Jing, Cheng Chi, Cheng Shao, and Mrs. Guo took turns to go into battle, and they said everything, and Cheng Xu only had two words "release".

Several of them could not hide their disappointment.

In the end, it was Cheng Chi who said: "Anyway, there are still a few days left in the exam, so I will help him report his name first." ”

If you really don't want to take the test, you can find another reason when the time comes.

But if you don't report your name at this time, it will be too late to regret it when the time comes.

Fortunately, the uncles and nephews of the Cheng family are all from the two lists, and the DPRK and China are either classmates in the same year or the same year in the same year, and classmates in the same class, they can always find a relationship without Cheng Xu coming forward.

Who knew that Cheng Xu, who had been silent, instantly had blue tendons on his forehead, and said with bare eyes: "I don't want to stay in the capital, I don't want to stay in this home, why don't you understand?" I don't want you to sign me up, I don't want you to find a relationship for me to go through the back door?! ”

The room fell silent.

Cheng Chi's face was grim, and he said coldly: "Do you want to tell us that you don't want to rely on the strength of your family and decide to walk out of your own way with your bare hands?" ”

What's the difference between that and exorcision?

"No, no." The corners of Cheng Xu's eyes flashed, and he said, "How can you not repay your parents' nurturing grace?" How can the family's cultivation be forgotten? But I really don't want to stay in the capital anymore, I don't want my mother to be sad - my mother always wants me to be three yuan and the first, wants me to worship the prime minister, and wants me to leave a name in history...... If I can't do it, she will be sad and desperate, crying bitterly, let me do this, let me do that, as if I am alive, just for the three yuan and the first, just to worship the prime minister and leave a name in history...... As long as it has nothing to do with these things, she will stop it, and she will make me give it up...... I don't want to go on like this anymore. As he spoke, he looked at Cheng Chi pleadingly, "Uncle Chi, you said that if I am the title of the gold list, I can do a lot of things!" I don't ask for anything else, I just want to be released! Get out of here, lest my mother look sad every time she sees me. Instead of staying in Kyochung like this. It's better to stay away and wait until she's old. I'll go back to Beijing to do my filial piety or take her to my appointment......"

"What did you say?" Yuan clutched his chest and opened his eyes wide. Looking at his son in disbelief, "You mean, I forced you to become an adult?" Is this what the son says to his mother? How could you say such a thing? I made you motivated, and you actually think I'm coercing you? The more she spoke, the higher her voice became, the more emotional she became, "I'll go with you to your uncle's evaluation?" I taught you so well that you think I'm hurting you...... Are you still human......" She stepped forward and raised her hand to fan towards Cheng Xu.

Cheng Chi quickly stopped her and said, "Sister-in-law, is he now the age when you are obedient when you hit it?" ”

Yuan was stunned. Then tears fell, and he cried, "What have I done? Who am I working for? ”

Cheng Shao, Cheng Jing and Mrs. Guo had already heard what Cheng Xu meant.

Cheng Jing's face turned pale.

Cheng Shao asked Cheng Xu: "Do you know what you're doing?" ”

Cheng Xu looked calm and quiet, and said, "I know." If you don't participate in the selection of the Kujishi, you won't be able to enter the Hanlin Academy, and you won't be able to enter the cabinet. Even so, I want to put it out.

"Since I was a child, my mother told me that if you want to study, you will have good food when you read, and you will be a good child when you read. Reading is filial piety. I just want to know, do I really like to read? ”

Cheng Jing glanced at Yuan.

Yuan Shi became hysterical as if he was burned by Cheng Jing's gaze: "What do you see me doing? Didn't I let him read the book and read it wrong......"

"That's it!" Cheng Jing drank loudly and interrupted Yuan's words, glanced at Cheng Xu with indignation, and said to Cheng Chi: "You still go to help him report the name of the choice of Shu Jishi tomorrow." Let him think about it for a few days, and if he really decides not to take the exam, then let him be. As if I had never given birth to this son. You don't have to say anything, wait until I am old enough to give me filial piety. You just have to go and live your own little life, the Cheng family doesn't have you. There is also Cheng Rang, and Brother Yun. And Po...... I won't be defeated without you! ”

In the final analysis, Cheng Xu is still forced to take the Shu Jishi exam.

Old Madam Guo sighed, feeling top-heavy and a little untenable.

Cheng Chi hurriedly stepped forward to support Mrs. Guo, and said in a low voice, "What about Shaojin's people?" I'm going to have someone call her. ”

"Don't go." Mrs. Guo said tiredly, "She wants to leave some dignity for Jiashan!" Why did you live up to her kindness. ”

Cheng Chi naturally knew that it was just that Mrs. Guo was unwell at this time, but Zhou Shaojin was not around, and he was afraid that his mother would have ideas, so he rushed to ask first.

"Second uncle." Mrs. Guo didn't look at Cheng Chi, but said to Cheng Shao, "Let's go back!" Jiashan is not a child anymore, he is in charge of his own affairs! ”

Cheng Shao sighed helplessly and gave Mrs. Guo a look, meaning that everything was under Mrs. Guo's orders.

Mrs. Guo walked out without saying a word.

Cheng Xu shouted "Grandmother".

Mrs. Guo said lightly: "You have decided, tell your grandmother." Then he walked out without looking back.

The maid who was guarding the door had already reported Zhou Shaojin.

Zhou Shaojin and Min Jia trotted out of the tea room.

Seeing Cheng Chi supporting Mrs. Guo, Cheng Shao followed them out of the hall.

Zhou Shaojin hurriedly stepped forward to help Mrs. Guo.

Min Jia sent it off.

Yuan's cry came from the room: "How can you say that? Could it all be my fault? Speak with your conscience......"

As if she hadn't heard it, Min Jia secretly quickened her pace.

finally sent Cheng Shao and the others away, and she was about to turn back with relief, when a little guy on the door ran over and said, "Grandma, grandma, someone sent you a post." ”

Since Cheng Xu was admitted to the Jinshi, there have been more people who have made a special trip to post for her.

She disappreliantly let the little maid take it, and only remembered this post when she returned to the house at night, afraid that something would happen, so she scrambled to open it.

The result was "Cheng Xiangqing" Cheng Yuan.
