Over the years, the Xu family has always been the virtuous and gentle daughter-in-law of the Pei family in the eyes of everyone, and few people know about her unwillingness and reluctance. "The young lady of the Guogong Mansion is so humble and so gentle, it's really rare." Relatives and friends praised her.

The Xu family lives a peaceful life of serving Aunt Weng and her husband and children day after day, but melancholy and sadness will hit her heart from time to time, and she is often depressed alone. She is the pearl of Wei Guogong and his wife, her girlhood is a beautiful rose, and she never thought that she would one day dim and become the wife of an ordinary man like Pei Sanye.

There are many sisters in the Xu family, and she is the youngest, ranking sixth. Although there are six sisters, there is only one of the same mother as her, and that is her eldest sister. Miss Xu is married to the prince of Xingguo and is the wife of the prince. "She's all Mrs. Pin, and I'm nothing." Xu compared himself with the eldest sister's current situation, and he was extremely angry.

A sister of a mother's sibling, what is worse than her? She married rich and decent, but she was gloomy.

Countless midnight dreams, Xu Shi looked at the carved flowers on the top of the bed alone in a daze. Pain, little by little, gnawed at her psyche.

The glory and wealth are not hers, and the scenery and glory are not hers, how can she be embarrassed.

Wei Guogong and Wei Guoduke's favorite youngest daughter, a well-known talented girl, a beautiful woman, and a famous lady in Beijing, how did she get to this point?

The Xu family was depressed for a long time.

As the years passed, after she had three sons, after she and Pei Sanye and the Pei family deepened their relationship, this sadness gradually faded. However, Xu was still unwilling.

Is this the end of the whole life?

Unwilling.

Tonight, seeing her husband's affectionate letter, Xu suddenly made up her mind. Glory and wealth, reputation and status, where can it be compared to a loyal lover and a comfortable life.

Mama He walked over lightly and changed her into new tea. Xu raised his head and looked at her with a smile, "Your second boy followed him into Beijing, did he send a letter back?" Speaking of which, this is the first time he's left you. ”

Mama He's second son Jinxi is Pei Sanye's little servant, and he went out with Pei Sanye. Jinxi is not very old, only fourteen, and he looks like a big child, and when he goes out, of course Mama He is concerned.

Mama He held a cup of hot tea in front of Xu, pursed her lips and smiled, "Yes, this kid is usually lazy at home, but he is diligent when he goes out, and he often writes letters." When I read his letter, I was overjoyed. ”

"Guess what he said in his letter?" Mama He looked at Xu with a smile, as if she had a deep meaning.

"What did you say?" Xu is inexplicable.

Jinxi is a half-grown child, what other secrets can he tell?

Mama He looked at Xu Shi for a while, and Fang Quanquan said, "He followed his uncle into the capital this time, not only opened his eyes, but also showed off and won a lot of extra rewards!" ”

Didn't Xu Bao, the second brother of the Xu family, want to send a beautiful maid to his brother-in-law Pei Sanye, this is also a common thing for him, and it is not worth mentioning. But Pei Sanye refused without thinking about it, "My father doesn't allow it, I don't dare to disobey my father's orders."

Xu's brothers were amazed, and Xu's sisters-in-law and sisters were about to die of envy.

"Sixth aunt's father-in-law, is his son really so strict?" Xu's sisters-in-law and sisters were extremely curious.

They made a special trip to call Jinxi, and after asking the sixth aunt and grandmother about their daily life in Suzhou and the well-being of the Pei family, they began to inquire side-by-side, "Pei Taishou is a well-known Qing official, we all know this way, I heard that he is also very strict with the old man's family?" ”

Jin Xi proudly talked about how Pei Taishou was majestic, how Mrs. Fang was loving, how the Pei family was harmonious, how the sixth aunt and grandmother were comfortable, and the young ladies of the Xu family who listened were envious and jealous.

It is said that the sixth aunt and grandmother were obedient and married into the family of an unfriendly Qing official, and they don't know what kind of hard life they lived. Who knew that it would be so.

The young ladies and aunts of the Xu Mansion all rewarded Jinxi.

The Duchess of Wei Guo knew that she was proud, and she specially called Jinxi again, praised him, and rewarded him with a heavy purse.

Jin Xi walked out of the inner house with a lot of rewards, and he was very proud.

"This stinky boy, his tail is about to reach the sky!" Mama He smiled.

Xu's Waner.

Mama He accompanied Xu's laughter for a while, looked at Xu's face, and slowly mentioned, "Look at it, whether it is the young ladies of our family, or the aunts and grandmothers, there are only sisters-in-law under your knees, and there are no concubines around you, and only you." Good girl, you are a blessed one. ”

Xu smiled, "I know what to do." ”

Xu's smile was bright and happy, from the heart, this smile fell into Mama He's eyes, and Mama He almost cried with joy. Good girl, your smile used to be on your face, but tonight, it's different.

"It's a pity that the third master doesn't like to read much." Xu smiled and complained.

If he loves to read like his eldest brother and second brother, and can seek fame, what regrets do he have? Never again.

"How old is the third master? I'm still young. Mama He smiled diligently, "You are the most knowledgeable, you must know that some people are twenty-seven or eighteen years old before they start to be angry!" ”

Mama He vaguely remembers "...... Twenty-seven, she was angry, and she ...... read books", who it was, she could forget.

Xu Shi smiled, "What you said is reasonable, Xu is the third master will suddenly be angry one day, maybe he can't say." ”

Didn't Su Xun know that Lu Dao worked hard when he was twenty-seven years old, and later went to Beijing with his two sons Su Shi and Su Zhe to take the test.

Mama He saw that her aunt and grandmother were smiling briskly and brightly, so she also casually talked about family life, "Uncle will try to enter Beijing, but grandma is very worried, and everyone has lost a lot of weight." I hope that the uncle is in high school and the family is happy. ”

"I will be able to do it." Xu smiled and groaned.

Mama He was a little strange, and asked with a smile: "But is the time for the uncle?" ”

Pei Erye refused to enter Beijing under the pretext that "the fire is not there". Mama He is good at world affairs, but she has no knowledge, and she really thinks that she is not a fire Hou.

Xu shook his head with a smile, "I don't know if the heat has arrived." I just know how to go, a small nod! ”

asked the little "uncle can you go to the countryside to try", and the little nodded. So, the uncle really went to the countryside to try.

asked the little uncle, "Can you try it", but the little one also nodded. It seems that eight out of ten, nine uncles will be in high school.

Mama He couldn't help laughing, "Miss Nine, it's really the Pei family's little lucky star!" ”——

In February of the fifth year of Tianqing, an examination was held in the Gongyuan in the capital. The test will be divided into three sessions, each of which is three days, which is a very hard thing for the lifters. After the examination, the lifters left one by one, all of them colorless.

The road to fame is actually very difficult.

But if the gold list is in high school, there will be another ecstasy. I just feel that all the effort and hard work are worth it.

Uncle Pei is one of them. When he came out of the Gongyuan, he really didn't even have the strength to walk to the carriage, and was carried into the carriage by Pei Sanye. However, when the list was released and he learned that he was on the list and became a tribute, Uncle Pei was overjoyed and cried with joy.

In this year's examination, a total of 305 tributes were selected.

"There are more than 300 Jinshi again!" The gentry in the capital laughed and waited to see who could get the first prize.

Uncle Pei was a little self-aware, and he didn't think about the first-class that was in the limelight, "Third child, do you think I will be a fellow jinshi?" He looked at Pei Sanye with an anxious expression.

"No!" Pei Sanye said very simply: "You must be the second class, you said!" ”

Without hesitation, he stretched out two fingers, you don't know what to do.

Uncle Pei straightened his clothes and said solemnly: "I think it is, too." ”

Children have clean eyes, and adults can see things that adults can't see! How clever and clever you are, you can't be mistaken!

When it was time for the palace test, Uncle Pei went with a radiant face.

The palace test is said to be presided over by the emperor, but it may not be. Sometimes the emperor is lazy, and there are cabinet ministers who preside over on his behalf. But this time, the palace test was really presided over by the emperor.

The emperor not only presided over, but also selected a few people who looked pleasing to the eye to go over to question, including Uncle Pei and Pei Yin.

The emperor was wearing a vermilion leather robe today, and when Uncle Pei stepped forward to reply, he only saw the corners of the vermilion robe and black court boots.

"What does the emperor look like?" After going back, Pei Sanye caught the eldest brother and asked.

"I don't know what to do." Uncle Pei said honestly, "I didn't dare to raise my head when I knelt, I don't know what Emperor Dao looks like." Third brother, I saw the corners of the emperor's robe, which were scarlet, and the emperor's court boots, which were black......"

Pei Sanye was disappointed.

"Then, what did the emperor ask you, what did you say?" He didn't give up asking.

"The emperor asked me, is it the way to calm the people?" Uncle Pei said uncertainly. It's the way to reassure the people, right? That's right.

Pei Sanye looked at the eldest brother patiently, only to see him raise his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, "What did I say...... Forgot, really, can't remember a word. ”——

What is this called a temple test! Pei Sanye was indignant.

Uncle Pei wiped his sweat and smiled a little embarrassedly, feeling sorry in his heart.

The results of the palace examination came out the next day, Shaanxi Pei Yin, the eleventh place in the second class.
