The old lady has passed the age of ear shun, her hair is half white, full of wrinkles, and the beautiful outline of the past can be faintly seen on her face. She was serene and in excellent spirits. With a dignified demeanor, two dark and shiny eyebrows, and a well-defined mouth under the nose, he looks serious and decisive.

The second wife, two sons and two daughters have already arrived. He was sitting there gossiping with the old lady. The second wife's young son and brother lay in the old lady's arms, and they didn't know what to say, which made the old lady unable to close her mouth.

When the eldest lady came in, she saw such a scene full of family happiness.

The eldest lady took her two sons and four daughters to kowtow to the old lady. The old lady put down her brother, accepted the gift, and rewarded the eldest lady. The sons and daughters stood behind the eldest wife.

The old lady called her three eldest grandsons to her and asked them about their homework. The old lady is also the daughter of a wealthy family, unlike the eldest lady, she is not only proficient in the struggle of the back house, but also quite knowledgeable about history, Yulan listened to it, nodded secretly, and knew that she asked every point.

The old lady asked Chengye: "Your eldest brother has already passed the Xiucai examination, you have to learn from him." There is still a month to go, and you can't waste your studies. "The Yang family's scholarly family, of course, children and grandchildren have to take the path of the imperial examination. Old lady Yang is the second place in the first class of the Taizu Dynasty, and the eldest master and the second master are also two rank jinshi.

Chengye has been standing aside with a smile, and his face was slightly ashamed when he heard this: "My grandson is ashamed, I don't dare to compare with my grandfather, I just hope that in the future, I will be content with my grandfather's knowledge." This time, the grandson is ready, and he will definitely be able to go to school in one fell swoop. "A year ago, Chengye went down with confidence, passed the county examination and the government examination, and passed the Tongsheng examination, but the academician failed to sink into the sand. A child is not a showman, he is still not considered famous, and he does not belong to the scholarly class.

The eldest son of the second wife, the uncle of the Yang Mansion, Chengzu, also said on the side: "Brother Ye has worked hard a lot in recent studies, and this time a show is steady." Mr. Fu also said that it was good after reading it! "Mr. Fu is the gentleman who sits in the hall, and the old lady personally hired him for his grandchildren, and his academic vision is naturally excellent.

Chengye glanced at the big brother in the next room gratefully. He was not as handsome as Chengye, but at the age of sixteen he was heroic and a little man.

The old lady glanced at her eldest grandson with satisfaction, and her voice was gentle, "Although you have entered school, you have to prepare for this autumn, you are the grandson of the Yang family, and you want to give your younger brothers a good start." ”

Chengzu said respectfully: "Grandson can save it!" ”

The second wife was happy when she saw that her eldest son was well-behaved. The son has already taken the Xiucai exam, and he is already preparing to take the exam, and the old lady and the second master have taken the exam for him, and they all say that there is still a good chance in this subject. Needless to say, the first Jinshi of the Yang Mansion's grandchildren must be her grandfather.

On the other hand, the two children in the big house didn't even get a reputation.

Chengzong was bored all day long, and he was a little younger, not to mention him. Chengye is a good ambitious, he thinks he is suave, and he either recites poetry or provokes flowers and grass for a day, and the article is unsatisfactory, but he is not clear with the girls around him. It's fifteen years old, and I haven't come to the show yet.

When the old lady was as old as him, he had already passed the exam, and he was only eighteen years old when he was a junior sergeant.

My aunt gave birth and raised, but she couldn't get on the stage.

glanced at the sister-in-law who was sitting in danger, and the second wife pursed her lips, thinking that this woman was really poisonous! Arrange the girls around Brother Ye'er, all of them are fresh and shallot-like, she doesn't have to do anything, Brother Ye is a group of warblers and swallows, and over time, she naturally has other ideas, how much self-control can the child have......

Aunt Liu understands yes, but she is an aunt, and no matter how favored she is, she can't control the education of her children. This is a sacred and inviolable duty of the mother-in-law. It is natural for the mother-in-law to settle the life of the concubine, and the eldest lord has no right to interfere. What's more, Brother Ye himself is also willing.

At this time, the old lady took Brother Zong'er's hand again and said, "You are also a good person." I just passed the county exam before, and I have to go to the government exam for just over a month? But you have to be careful, don't work too hard, how old are you? ”

In ancient times, the scholar class enjoyed great privileges, and it was not so easy to enter the privileged class, so let's say that the examination of Xiucai had to go through the three checkpoints of the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination. Brother Zong'er was enlightened late, and he passed the county exam at the age of twelve, which is already commendable.

Brother Zong said respectfully: "Back to my grandmother, my father's arrangement is also for the good of his grandson." Whether it succeeds or not, you have to go down and give it a try. ”

The old lady nodded again and again: "Try it, try it, this time the two of you brothers have passed the government test and the hospital test, which also makes your father happy." ”

Brother Zong bowed deeply, "My grandson will follow my grandmother's teachings. "Although he is young, he is extremely old, and he is a man of few words, asking what to answer, not saying a word of nonsense, which is completely different from being talkative and inheriting his ancestors.

The old lady laughed: "You are like your grandfather, they are so taciturn. ”

The eldest lady looked at Brother Zong'er, and remembered her aunt's words to the Queen Mother: "You are unlucky, you can't raise a son by yourself!" You have been fighting with Aunt Liu for half your life, and it is impossible for her to raise her brother. It's Brother Zong'er, my mother is gone, you just lift him up a lot and let him remember you. Don't always think that children are slaves and maids, and they are cheap! It's good to hold his heart, but it's nothing if you can't hold it, in the future, your mother's family will find a capable daughter-in-law, and you will have one heart, and when you are old, you will have something to rely on, and your married daughter will also have the help of her mother's brother. ”

The eldest lady has gradually gotten better to Brother Zong in recent years. Brother Zong is also very competitive, although he is enlightened late, but he is extremely hardworking, and gradually he catches up with the second master in his schoolwork, and Mrs. Yang especially likes him. Brother Zong is also very respectful to her mother-in-law.

The eldest lady couldn't help but regret that she shouldn't have been so good at handling Brother Zong'er and their mother and son when she was young.

Chengzong blushed slightly, and everyone laughed along.

The old lady said: "Our Yang family is not as good as others, you have to fight for your grandfather and father." ”

"Yes!" The three children bowed down together and agreed.

The old lady waved her hand: "It's not too early, you guys go to the school!" It's not good to miss the hour. ”

The boys walked out of Songhetang.

The boys went out, and the eighth girl, Yuxin, finally found an opportunity, jumped into her grandmother's arms, and said coquettishly: "Grandmother, I haven't seen my grandmother for a few days, do you want me, grandmother?" ”

The old lady smiled kindly: "You little monkey, you will turn your grandmother upside down here!" "I love this granddaughter very much.

Yuxin pulled the old lady's sleeve and didn't follow. After frolicking for a while, the old lady called the second girl, Yujia, to her side again. asked about her preparations for marriage.

Yujia is sixteen years old this year, and she was already a big girl in ancient times. She looks like a beautiful figure, describes her beauty, and behaves in a regular manner, her words and deeds are very lawful, and she is more comfortable than the second wife, who is like a lady, but her temperament is a little cold, and she is a little blind.

Yulan habitually measures Yujia with the perspective of the workplace: if this kind of person is put in the workplace, he will be a capable leader, and there is no problem in completing the performance indicators, but her subordinates must have a very hard time, and similarly, the boss's life will not be very comfortable.

The second wife chose the eldest son of the Ding family, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites. Ding Qian, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is a protégé of the old lady, and a while ago Zhao Jizhen, the second assistant of the cabinet, went home, and the old lady recommended Ding Qian to join the cabinet, and it is said that the emperor has preliminarily agreed.

After learning the news, the second wife was very happy and satisfied with this family business.

The older girls all listened carefully to the conversation between the old lady and the second girl. After listening to a few words, the fourth girl Yufei's eyes couldn't hide a look of envy.

Although the fifth girl Yuxia tried her best to hide it, she couldn't hide her admiration.

The marriage of the two girls is scheduled for May this year. The third girl died early, and after Yujia got married, it was the turn of the fourth girl Yufei and the fifth girl Yuxia. Yufei is fifteen years old this year, and she was already married three months ago, but the eldest lady has not started to look at people for her so far, and it is impossible to say that she is not in a hurry.

Yulan obediently stood behind the eldest lady, quietly looking at her grandmother, the two wives and many sisters, figuring out their individual preferences and thinking about her own way out.

In her opinion, the inner courtyard of the Yang family is like a big company. The old lady is the chairman of the board of directors and has high adjudication powers; The eldest lady is the president, in charge of all affairs; The second wife is the vice president, in addition to checking and filling in the gaps, the important thing is to check and balance the rights of the eldest wife; The ladies are middle managers, and each has a set of teams.

As for her, she is also a small middle-level, but she is a poor mix. The boss doesn't trust her, and always wants to give her small shoes to wear; The employees under him did not listen to the call, and they were in a good position......

There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, grandma doesn't love uncle, and this place is not happy to change jobs! The boss is impossible to change the drops!

What should she do?

It turned out that the timid and cowardly Yang Yulan was of course at a loss, but she was no longer Yang Yulan. She is Li Rong, who has been trained several times, has played rain and blown wind in the workplace!

Silently, a plan for otherworldly struggle has been quietly brewed in his mind......
