Chapter 192: Jealousy
The news in the exam room always spreads quickly and immediately.
On the fifth day, one of the candidates fainted and was carried out;
On the sixth day, another student was carried out with a cramp in his abdomen, and his face was pale;
On the seventh day he carried two out;
On the eighth day, one of the students was bitten by a poisonous snake hidden on the roof of the number, and soon died of poison;
On the ninth day, when Shen Shi, the bell of the Ministry of Rites and Tribute Yuan rang, the examination was over, and the students came out one after another, and there was a crowded crowd at the door, all of whom were family members who came to pick up people, as well as small servants and elders who followed the students to Beijing to catch the exam.
Watching the pale and half-dead students come out, some of them couldn't even carry the exam basket, and as soon as they came out, they were hugged and half hugged, and Shuwen muttered softly: "Where does this look like it's for the exam?" "It's like being punished for nine days.
Shu Yao glanced at him with disgust, anxiously looking for Shu Jie's figure.
Shujie's appearance is particularly eye-catching, it is really because of his ...... He was so energetic, he easily carried the exam basket and neatly folded bedding, his back was as straight as an aspen, his hair was not messy, his eyes were bright, his eyes were clear, except for some wrinkles on his blue robe, it almost made people think that he had mistaken the exam time, and had just rushed to prepare for the exam.
In addition to Shujie, there are two other people who seem to be very "different" in a group of half-dead candidates, one is Zhengran, who is always dressed in black, and the other is Mu Yongqi, the eldest prince of Weiyuan Houfu.
Zhengran nodded to Shujie from afar, which was regarded as a greeting, and Shujie also nodded in return, they are all more introverted people. It's also impossible to say hello or hook shoulders.
Zhengran's gaze searched in the direction where Shujie was going. Sure enough, I saw Shu Yao in a lotus-colored dress. The corners of his mouth curved upward, and the little fairy seemed to be taller again.
The moment he turned his head, Zhengran's face regained coldness, and he said to Zuo Qing and Zuo He: "Let's go, my son has to wash well." ”
When Shujie saw a pair of younger siblings, his eyes immediately lit up, and there was a smile on his handsome face, and the whole person softened. One hand held the shoulders of his younger siblings: "Yao'er, Wen'er, the eldest brother is back." ”
Yongjin had already taken the test basket and futon from Shujie's hand, and said with a smile: "Young Master, how do you feel?" I think those people are like they've lost a layer of skin. ”
Shuwen snorted proudly: "Why is my eldest brother the same?" "Those nerds are powerless on weekdays, and it's already very powerful to survive nine days, and Shujie doesn't talk about these nine days, and there will be no problem with a few more nine days. What's more, the food and water prepared by Shu Yao for Shu Jie are all spiritual, even if other people eat it, they will have more energy.
For example, Mu Yongqi, who was holding Xiao Wu's hand and walking towards them, was not as radiant as Shujie. But compared to other candidates, it is already a world of difference.
Shu Yao smiled: "Aunt Lan and Uncle are waiting for us in the mansion." Big brother, we will go back after dinner at the Hou Mansion today, and I will have someone bring your change of clothes over. ”
Shu Wenle snatched the words: "Aunt Lan said that she wants to comfort you and Brother Qi, and there is good news to tell you, we will soon have a little sister." ”
"Little sister?" Shujie was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and smiled at Mu Yongqi, who had already known the good news and had crooked eyebrows and eyes: "Congratulations, don't envy me in the future." ”
A few people returned to the Weiyuan Hou Mansion, and the Hou Ye and Yao Xuelan were also surprised to see that these two people were in such good spirits: "You don't look like you just came back from the examination room." ”
Mu Yongqi said proudly: "Isn't it? Eat well, sleep well, and be in good spirits. This time it was also the ninth day, and I felt much better than the last time I tried to lift people, my stomach was not uncomfortable, my head was not rising, and I felt that my thinking was much smoother. Yao'er, Brother Qi really wants to thank you this time. ”
Shu Yao smiled: "Brother Qi is polite, Yao'er is just careful when preparing things, many of them were taught to us by my mother before." ”
When Wei Yuanhou saw his son's reaction, he knew that he should have done well in this test, Mu Yongqi's results in the township test were not very good, and he had just entered the list dangerously, and he didn't have much hope for the end of the test this time.
However, the Mu family's title is ten generations, and it is only the third generation of his generation, Mu Yongqi has already set the identity of the son of the world last month, and he is bound to take the title, and the next exam is just to verify his own talent, and Mu Yongqi is only 17 years old, and he is only 20 after three years, so it is okay to take the test again if he wants to.
Now looking at Mu Yongqi's confident appearance, it is estimated that there is no need to wait for three years to take the exam.
If the food made by Shu Yao really has such a powerful effect, Wei Yuanhou really doesn't believe it, but he believes that Shu Yao is a child who can bring good luck to their family. Since the three brothers and sisters of Shu Yao arrived in the capital, Mrs. is happy and Xiao Wu has become more and more well-behaved, and now Mrs. is unexpectedly pregnant with another child......
Wei Yuanhou was in a happy mood: husband and wife are affectionate, and his son is sensible and competitive, if he can get another daughter this time, hehe, there are really no regrets in life.
After Shujie and Mu Yongqi finished bathing and returned to the flower hall refreshed, the maids began to serve the food, Yao Xuelan said with a smile: "Today is the dishes that the two of you like, you have to eat more, and make up for the hardships of the past nine days." Especially Brother Jie, the martial arts exam will start in a few days, but you have to hurry up and bring your spirit back. ”
Shu Yao also said: "Today, Aunt Lan personally cooked Brother Qi's favorite Babao duck and Big Brother's favorite braised hooves, you have to eat more." Fortunately, Yao Xuelan's pregnancy was relaxed, except for drowsiness, there was no uncomfortable reaction, and the smell of cooking smoke did not make her want to regurgitate, and she enjoyed it very much when she smelled the fragrance.
Mother Liu, Mother Song and others all said that Yao Xuelan must be a little lady in her belly, so she is so well-behaved and distressed, which makes Yao Xuelan even happier when she listens. Shu Yao is also always funny, and keeps saying "sister", because she knows that this fetus is indeed a female baby.
Doctor Xu came again yesterday and praised Yao Xuelan's stable fetus and her condition in all aspects, which is very rare among "elderly" mothers like Yao Xuelan.
Shu Yao was secretly gratified, in the past nine days, she has been by Yao Xuelan's side every day, and whenever possible, she will put food, water, and fetal medicine into the mahogany box to increase her spirit, hoping that Aunt Lan will give birth to a healthy and lovely daughter safely. Make up for the guilt of the previous life.
Shu Jie listened to Shu Yao's words. I am very grateful to Yao Xuelan. But there was no hypocrisy, but he responded affectionately: "Hehe, Aunt Lan, I am missing the braised hooves you made, I must eat more today, there is no oil and water in my stomach these days." ”
Sure enough, Yao Xuelan was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth: "Eat more, eat more." The martial arts test is more laborious, if you like it, Aunt Lan will make it for you again, your little sister is very well-behaved, she doesn't make any trouble in the kitchen, maybe it will be delicious in the future. ”
The Marquis of Weiyuan was not happy, and immediately "complained of grievances" for his baby daughter: "My daughter is distressed about the two brothers, not squeamish, where is it delicious?" ”
Everyone laughed, and Mu Yongqi said: "There is nothing bad about deliciousness." She is the youngest, and she can't be spoiled. Still afraid of not eating? We won't eat it, and we won't lose her. "I really have a little sister, who is the pearl of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, I like to eat, I am as healthy and cute as Yao'er, don't fall down when the wind blows.
Mu Shui Lingzhi said that Mu Yongqi came back, rushed over to visit, and felt the laughter and joy from afar, and just arrived at the door, and heard the words of Wei Yuanhou and Mu Yongqi, and the sour taste in his heart almost overflowed.
Now the one in my mother's belly is not sure to be a girl, and she has already collected thousands of favors, and when she is born a girl, what status does she have? Is she going to be like those cousins who are also cousins, so humble that they are almost forgotten, and even their subordinates despise them?
Recently, Yao Xuelan has been sleepy, and the Marquis of Weiyuan feels sorry for his beloved wife and precious daughter, so he temporarily exempts the concubines and aunts from asking for peace, so that Yao Xuelan can sleep leisurely every day until she wakes up naturally, and Mu Shuiling has not seen her father and mother for several days. She felt like she was about to be forgotten.
Mu Shuiling is now twelve and a half years old, and under the influence of Aunt Hong, she has begun to worry about her future relatives. Before she was the only daughter of the Marquis of Weiyuan, her mother-in-law treated her well, and Aunt Hong always told her that sooner or later she would be raised by her mother-in-law to become a daughter-in-law, and her mother-in-law had a good face, and she would definitely be able to marry the eldest son in the future and become the head of the princely family.
Therefore, Mu Shuiling, who is "cowardly" on the surface, has raised a very high spirit, not to mention the concubines in other mansions, even his two concubines, as well as the concubines and concubines in the uncle's mansion, she looks down on them, because she herself is different from them, and she will be a "concubine" sooner or later.
But now, because of the authentic concubine in her mother's belly, she would rather be messed up.
Aunt Hong prayed in front of the statue of Guanyin every day, so that Yao Xuelan would have another young master, or simply not be born in a stillborn belly. Mu Shuiling also prayed, she couldn't care about jealousy of Shu Yao now, and even, when she heard the words of her father and eldest brother at this time, she agreed with her aunt's idea: to be good friends with Shu Yao, instigate Shu Yao, and borrow Shu Yao's hand to get rid of the child in her mother's womb, killing two birds with one stone.
Thinking of this, she turned to Shu Yao and smiled as a gesture of goodwill. Shu Yao is an adult in her twenties with a psychological age, and she knows very well the crazy jealousy and ruthlessness under Mu Shuiling's "cowardly" appearance, and where would she be "moved" because of her sudden "overture", she just smiled back faintly, and turned around to laugh with Shu Jie. In the previous life, she didn't have much intersection with Mu Shuiling, and in this life, she didn't want to have any entanglement with this person.
The olive branch he threw did not get the enthusiastic response he imagined, Mu Shuiling secretly hated it, and almost gritted his teeth. She had already put down her figure, but she didn't expect the girl in the market who "occupied the magpie's nest" to ignore her.
However, now her number one "natural enemy" is not Xia Shuyao, but the one in her mother's belly, if Shuyao doesn't take the bait, what should she do? The aunt said that their mother and daughter must not do it themselves, otherwise they will die ugly, the father and the grandmother are not easy to fool, and the father does not like their mother and daughter in the first place, so it is strange that he will spare them.
Mu Shuiling can only pray for God's blessing and bless his mother-in-law with another son.
When Mu Shuiling came back to her senses, a group of people had already gone to the table to eat, and no one noticed that she hadn't left yet.
Mu Shuiling turned around and went out, her eyes were full of tears, and behind her was a warm greeting:
"Yao'er eats more fish, this is good."
"Madame, come and drink some fresh chicken soup, our daughter will like it."
