The examination room for the examination will be set up in the Wenshu Monastery in the southern district of Yuejing, Zou Youheng got out of the carriage, and looked around, the black pressure was full of students from various state capitals who came for reference, because he always thought about the strangeness of this exam in his heart, Zou Youheng didn't care about the surrounding situation at all, but Zhou Ming and Luo Yushu around him, the two of them looked around, both nervous and excited.

But when he arrived in the examination room, he saw the familiar tables and chairs, and the invigilators sitting on them with an indifferent face, Zou Youheng's hanging heart finally let go.

Tut. Isn't it all the same as usual?

These people are simply scaring themselves.

Zou Youheng crooked the corners of his mouth, found his place and sat down.

In early February, Ye Xiaoyu returned to Rongzhou.

First, because she was going to marry in the house on West Street, and secondly, because the Lin family wanted to see her before getting married.

So accompanied by Wang Huaiqing, she came to Wang's house and was standing in the lobby at the moment.

"Although I am very dissatisfied with this family business, thinking that with such conditions as our family Huaiqing, it is not a problem to marry an official lady in the city, but since he insists on marrying you, and the child is older, then I have nothing to say as a mother."

Lin sat on the top, tilted his head, and pointed his nostrils at Ye Xiaoyu.

"I agreed, but I'm not old and dizzy, I still have to make it clear to you in advance about the rules in this house."

Seeing Ye Xiaoyu bow his head, Lin was a little satisfied, and continued with a smug face.

"Although the Wang family is not rich and wealthy in Rongzhou City, it can be ranked up no matter how it is said. As the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, I will not repeat the basic things of obedience, filial piety, and abiding by women's morals. In addition to that, you have to get up four watches every day, get our breakfast ready, clean the house, go to the market to buy groceries, and do your homework all day. On the fifteenth day of the new year, you have to accompany me to the temple to offer incense and Huaiqing's daily life. You're going to take care of him......"

"Mother. Don't we have a bunch of subordinates? Why do you want Xiaoyu to do these things? ”

Wang Huaiqing, who was on the side, couldn't listen to it and said.

"You know what?! It's the rules, this home, if there are no rules. Can that still feel like home?! ”

Lin glared.

"Specific, daily details. I've had it written. You take it and take a look, and if you feel that you can't bear it, then mention it as soon as possible. Forget about this family matter, so as not to feel wronged after marrying in. ”

After glaring at Wang Huaiqing, Lin turned his head to Ye Xiaoyu again.

Immediately, a little girl took a piece of red paper and handed it to Ye Xiaoyu.

Just glanced at it, Ye Xiaoyu didn't bother to look at it, it was densely written all the obligations he had to do every day, and he was not even as good as a subordinate.

Lin's face, if it weren't for Wang Huaiqing's face, she would have just thrown her hands and left, who is rare and what the Wang family is not the Wang family. However, because Wang Huaiqing and Ye Xiaoyu are rare about him, they have to endure this additional thing.

"And the dowry......"

Seeing that Ye Xiaoyu did not object to the content on the paper, Lin Shi continued to talk about the main point.

"The bride price given to you by our Wang family will naturally not be less, but the dowry must also be compatible, otherwise the burden at these two ends will be heavy, and it will not look good to say......

"What dowry do you want?"

Ye Xiaoyu couldn't help it and asked.

Nima, if it was for Wang Huaiqing's sake, she would have choked up directly.

"Huh? You ask me? ”

Lin looked amused.

"The dowry is your mother's business, and as for how much dowry you want, you must have the final say. The so-called ten-mile red makeup, naturally, the more face. ”

The more the face?

Would you like to give you the entire Rongzhou City?

Ye Xiaoyu rolled her eyes in her heart.

"Mother, I will discuss the dowry with Xiaoyu, if there is nothing to do, let's go first......"

Wang Huaiqing was afraid that the Lin family would mention the matter of the shop, so he planned to end the conversation.

"Go first? Are you two really busy?! ”

Lin looked at Ye Xiaoyu with a smile.

"If you want me to say that it's better for the two of you not to meet these days, where is anyone still tired of being together before getting married?"

"Mother, I know. I'll send the little fish back first. ”

Wang Huaiqing said that he was about to go out.

"Wait, I just finished reading the rules on that piece of paper, and the words haven't been signed to me yet."

Lin said.

"Words? Mother, these little fish have just seen it, why do you have to sign it? ”

Wang Huaiqing frowned.

"Of course it's going to be signed. If I don't sign it, how can I prove that I have shown it to her in advance? ”

Lin's tone was tough.

"Mother-"

Wang Huaiqing was speechless.

"It's okay if you don't sign it, then forget about this family business."

Lin raised an eyebrow.

"I'll sign it."

Ye Xiaoyu said lightly, picked up the brush handed by the little girl, and quickly wrote her name on it. After so long, she has become proficient and fluent in traditional Chinese characters.

"Mother, let's go."

As soon as she put down the pen, Wang Huaiqing escorted her out.

"Remember to come back for dinner in the evening."

Lin specially explained.

Ye Xiaoyu has no father or mother, married into the Wang family, and those shops are all from the Wang family, because of this, she did not hold on to the dowry. Even if Ye Xiaoyu didn't have any dowry on the day of her wedding, her shops still belonged to the Wang family.

*

"Mother's words just now, don't take it to heart. When the time comes, we will go back to Huzhou as soon as we get married, and if we don't live with her, those regulations will not matter. ”

Back in the small house on West Street, Wang Huaiqing said to Ye Xiaoyu.

In this family business, Ye Xiaoyu is really too aggrieved.

"It's okay, I'm marrying you and not marrying your mother, and it's good to run in for a while."

Ye Xiaoyu stretched out her hand to smooth the wrinkles between the other party's eyebrows and smiled.

"Xiaoyu, you're so nice."

Wang Huaiqing sat next to Ye Xiaoyu. Reach out and wrap her in your arms.

met by chance nine years ago, and experienced thousands of miles apart and countless inconsistencies in the middle, it was not easy for the two of them to come together.

"You can't go out."

The proposition essay for the exam is not difficult, Zou Youheng handed in the paper early again, but when he wanted to go out after handing in the test paper, he was stopped by the guard at the door.

will take the test for five days in a row, he understands this rule, but no one told him that he can't go out after the exam?

"I'm done."

Zou Youheng said.

"Sit back in your seat. It will be five days before you can go out. ”

The guard looked at him and said impatiently.

"W-What ???"

Zou Youheng shouted excitedly. I suddenly realized that there were many people behind me who were taking exams. Instantly muffled your voice.

No one told him that he would try to stay in the exam room for five days in a row?! Not being able to go out to play is a trivial matter, but the point is that he didn't bring a change of clothes, and he wore the same set of clothes for five days in a row.

"I—I'd like to ask. That one. Are there any clothes sellers here? ”

Zou Youheng's face was full of urgency.

This Smoky Mountain Academy is nothing short of shit. didn't explain anything, he knew this, he might as well stay at home and learn from the old gentleman. Maybe you'll know more.

"Yes."

The guard replied coldly.

"That's good."

After getting the answer, Zou Youheng instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Forehead.

Touching his arms, he suddenly realized another Yan zhòng problem, he didn't bring money.

This is not a good hall, it takes three years to earn such a time, and the clothes will definitely be sold very expensive, but the sad thing is that he didn't even bring the money, and he went out too much this morning, so he didn't bother to leave the money at the residence.

Turning his head to look at the examination room, Zhou Ming was still writing hard there, uh, literally. With his temperament, Zou Youheng feels that he is worthy of praise for being able to pick up a pen and write. He decided to borrow some money from him later when he handed in the papers.

"Everybody all stand up and stop writing."

Zou Youheng hadn't walked back to his position, and suddenly several people wearing official uniforms came in from the front door, followed by two rows of more than a dozen guards.

"My lord, isn't it time yet?"

There were protests among the candidates.

Then a group of people chimed in.

The triennial examination, which is related to one's own prospects and destiny, is suddenly artificially broken, and no one can bear it.

"Don't worry, everyone. This is only the first part of the exam, which is a small snack. Next, it's the big head. ”

The man in the lead smiled, revealing a gold tooth.

There was a commotion in the examination room, because of the guards, no matter how dissatisfied those scholars were, they couldn't resist, so they had to watch with anger as their unfinished test papers were taken away.

With such a scene, Zou Youheng decided to hide behind the last row of candidates, anyway, the situation is too chaotic now, and no one will notice him.

"You all come with me."

With that, Golden Tooth strode out.

Zou Youheng frowned, Wu's words sounded in his ears, and he was wondering if he should sneak out while he was in chaos. It's not worth risking your life to try for this bullshit.

But his abacus was too easy, and after being surrounded by soldiers and walking out of the door of the examination room, he found that all the other people in the examination room in Wenshu Monastery had also been cleared out, and everyone was confused and let the soldiers take them. And there were more and more guards coming, almost equal to the number of candidates, and one appeared next to him, and in such a situation, it was almost impossible to sneak away.

I don't know how long it took to walk, but a large group of people stopped at the entrance that resembled a cave. Zou Youheng poked his head and found that there was no light in the black hole.

It was the same on the road just now, there was no one on that road, as if it was circling in Wenshu Monastery.

"Now I'm announcing the rules for the next exam—"

Goldfang cleared his throat, jumped to the height, and said loudly to the black pressure below. (To be continued......)
