Xinglin Hutong is not as chickens and dogs jump over the wall as everyone thinks.

In the outer courtyard, except for the male servants on duty at the gate, all disappeared, and the maids and maids on duty in the inner courtyard were all hiding in the corners, and in the study of the inner courtyard, Cheng Xu and Yuan stood facing each other, one with a cold face, and the other with a cold look in his eyes, like a dark cloud covering the top, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

There is a wind blowing outside the yard, and the magnolia planted at the door is rustling, and the petals are crystal clear and swaying in the wind, full of spring.

Yuan Shi "snapped" and threw away the ring ruler in his hand, and tears rolled down: "What kind of sin have I done!" October pregnancy gave birth to you, hard work to raise you as an adult, finally the first case, Xie Yuan all the way to read, came to the most important step, but you gave me a Jinshi exam back. Aren't you asking for my life? But you're a son, what can I do? Okay, I'll put up with it. Don't you think about giving me a good book at home and coming back from the exam, and you even told me that you wouldn't participate in the selection of the Jishi? Are you worthy of me? Are you worthy of the Cheng family's cultivation of you? Worthy of your grandmother's hopes for you? Is it worthy of your father's expectations of you? I just have a cat or a dog, and when I'm not feeling well, do you know how many times to bark at my bedside? What about you? After so many years, in addition to fighting against me, what else have you done besides being angry with me? If I had known this, what doctor should I go to ask for, and what medicine should I ask? I might as well strangle you in the first place! lest I be embarrassed today and go out without a face! ”

Cheng Xu didn't say anything, slowly knelt down in front of Yuan's family, and said in a low voice: "Mother, I'm sorry for you." Leave your face glazed. You should have never given birth to my son! I've already been to the minister's department, and he promised to help me get an errand when he finishes the exam......"

"Shut up!" Yuan looked around. picked up the ring ruler, but in the end, he still wanted Cheng Xu to change his mind. didn't just hit the ground like just now, "Are you trying to force me to death?" ”

Cheng Xu didn't seem to see it, lowered his eyelids, and said to himself: "My mother is in good health now, and my father is also proud of his career, and it just so happens that the second sister is going to accompany the second brother-in-law to study in the capital in the past few years. I'm old, and you and my father are old, so I'll take the second elder to reunite with me, and give you filial piety......"

Yuan jumped up.

It's hard to be hard, it's not soft enough!

What the hell is he going to do?

"You unfilial son! If you don't go to the exam, I'll sue you for disobedience!" Yuan Shi was angry and said angrily, and some words did not choose to speak.

Cheng Xu listened to the slight sadness flashing in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Mother, you are always like this. From small to large. If I don't listen to you, you will either threaten me to tell my father and let him teach me a lesson. Or coax me to buy the pen, ink, paper, inkstone I want, or even a kite shuanglu. Haven't you thought about listening to me and telling me what I want to do? Or don't threaten or cajole me. Would you like to talk to me properly? ”

Yuan looked at Cheng Xu in astonishment.

Cheng Xu's voice was lowered, and he said, "This is the case when you want me to study, and this is the case when you ask me to take the case head and Xie Yuan." That is, when you take a wife...... And so it goes...... You are my mother, how can a son not listen to his mother? You can't talk to me properly. Don't always shout and kill, okay? ”

Yuan looked at Cheng Xu in shock, as if he had seen him for the first time. muttered, "You're blaming me!" You didn't get in, you're blaming me......"

"Mother!" Cheng Xu was very helpless and said, "I don't blame you!" If you can't pass the top score, it's because I'm not good, what does it have to do with you? How could I blame you? I just don't want you to always use this and that as an excuse, in the final analysis, you just want me to win glory for you, it's nothing, it's a decent thing for a son to win glory for his mother......"

Yuan couldn't listen to it at all, and shouted: "If you don't blame me, why don't you go to the exam?" Speaking of this, she took Cheng Xu's hand and said in a low voice: "Jiaxi, will you listen to your mother this time?" As long as you are admitted to the Gilles, my mother will no longer care about your business, okay? Mother does what she says......"

Cheng Xu closed his eyes in pain.

I said yes this time, and there will be another time.

Say so every time.

In fact, as long as he fails to fulfill his mother's wishes, there is no time for him to stop.

Only this time, his mother did something to him.

Is it because he knows that words have no effect on him?

Is it just like what the fourth uncle said, if you pass the Jinshi exam, you can do a lot of things.

He didn't want to stay in the capital anymore.

From time to time, I saw Zhou Shaojin's bright smiling face full of happiness.

The caution and vigilance that I had with him was like two people.

It pierced his heart deeply.

made him feel that the air in the capital was oppressive.

He wanted to get out of here, and he didn't think about love and hatred again.

Like a man, be the parent of one side and seek the well-being of the people of one side.

Perhaps, he can slowly vent all the pain in his heart.

He calmed down.

"Mother!" Cheng Xu stopped, "Don't say it." I've made up my mind. Do not participate in the selection of the Jishi, and be released as an official. You'll just listen to me once......"

"Jiashan, Jiashan!" Yuan begged Cheng Xu bitterly, "You can't do this!" Do you know that if you don't pass the Shu Jishi exam, you won't be able to enter the Hanlin Academy, you won't be able to watch politics in the Six Ministries, even if you have the ability, no matter how good you are, you won't be able to become a scholar. Just like your fourth uncle, such a shrewd and capable person, in the end, he can not only work in the Metropolitan Inspectorate, and finally become a second-grade left and right governor Shi will reach the top. You can't be fooled like that! ”

Even so, what's so bad?

Cheng Xu said secretly in his heart.

With a gentle and lovely wife and a wise and clever son, is there anything better in the world than this?

Cheng Xu was unmoved.

Yuan Shi looked at his indifferent appearance, and couldn't help but be furious, and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Cheng Xu begged her: "I have grown up." Leave my business alone! ”

"Are you disgusted that I'm taking care of you?" Yuan's eyes widened. Looking at his son's expression, he was sad and shocked, "But if it weren't for me." Do you have today? As soon as you can speak, I will begin to tell you to read. You just know how to hold chopsticks, and I'll tell you how to write. When you take the government exam, I will wait for you to come out of the door; When you took the township exam, I traveled thousands of miles from the capital to get you the current text. But you're good, because a Zhou Shaojin showed me a face, was angry with me, and alienated me, what was the result? It's a good three-yuan and the first to be lost by you, not to mention, but you still want to put it out? Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? No. Are you still thinking about that Zhou Shaojin......"

"Mother! Have you had enough trouble! Cheng Xu was slightly angry, "If you say I'll talk about me, what do you do with others?" Let's live our own lives, is it interesting to say that? Don't you think this home is messy enough? ”

His words infuriated Yuan.

"Good! I knew you were still thinking about her! The anger that she had been suppressing in her heart since Zhou Shaojin married Cheng Chi erupted like a volcano, and she said hatefully, "No wonder you don't listen to me?" No wonder you hate me? It turned out to be all for her! Since our mother and son have talked about it here, I will tell you the truth, from the past to the end. I didn't plan to let Zhou Shaojin be my daughter-in-law, the reason why I promised you that as long as you take the township test well, I will help you marry Zhou Shaojin as you wish, it is just to stabilize you. Let you take the township test well. Her mother's daughter, don't even think about being my daughter-in-law......"

Cheng Xu thought of the scene when he fell when he was a child and was gently held in his arms by his mother, and thought of the scene when his mother sat on the side with a smile and watched him paint red. I think of waking up in the middle of the night when my mother was correcting her homework under the lamp...... He clutched his chest in pain.

At first, he was not without suspicion, not without thinking about questioning his mother. But as my grandmother said, this is the end of the story. If he continues to make trouble, it will only turn the Cheng Min family against each other and make Zhou Shaojin difficult to behave. What's more, it's all his fault when it comes to this matter. If it weren't for his self-righteousness, if he didn't have the courage, how could he and Zhou Shaojin be incompatible?

But he didn't expect that when his mother said this, he would still feel like he had been cut by a knife.

"Mother, don't say it!" Cheng Xu said with a pale face, "Are you trying to discredit the Cheng family?" Are you trying to kill me? Do you want the official to impeach your father? Do you think it's good for you to let the streets spread about it? ”

Yuan wanted to speak and stopped.

Min Jia turned around in horror and pulled his nurse out of the main courtyard in a hurry, stood under the pomegranate tree behind the house, and sat on the stone bench under the tree.

Originally...... Yuan deceived Cheng Xu, saying that as long as Cheng Xu could be admitted to the lifting of people, he would help him to marry Zhou Shaojin, but on the other hand, he sent someone to Fujian Min's house to ask for relatives!

Her face suddenly swollen red, and she didn't know whether she was more ashamed or angry.

How can you be so shameless!

not only harmed her, but also harmed Zhou Shaojin and Cheng Xu!

If it weren't for the fact that the people serving around the Yuan family didn't dare to get close, they invited her to see if they could help persuade her to make peace, and she probably wouldn't know what happened in her life!

How did she meet such a mother-in-law?

Min Jia was flustered, and it took a while to calm down, and as soon as she calmed down, she repeatedly and seriously told her nurse: "You can't say half a word about this kind of thing, otherwise the Cheng family is finished, the uncle is finished, and we will be finished!" ”

Nephew and aunt have ...... Ambiguous, ambiguous...... No one can afford such a scandal!

Her nurse also looked frightened, and hurriedly swore: "If I reveal a sound and make me thunder five times a day, the whole family will not die!" ”

Min Jia must be in her heart at this time.

Suddenly, some sympathy came.

With such a mother, no matter how good the future is, it will be ruined!

She was still angry at first that Cheng Xu was ignorant, so when the maid went to invite her, she was really ready to persuade her. Now it seems that it is better to release it, so as not to be killed by her mother-in-law, who is not in tune.
