Chapter 25: High School
Yanran stood a little far away, and couldn't hear the conversation between Shi An and Zeng Zhixian very clearly, but she could see the look on Zeng Zhiqing's face, and couldn't help glaring at Zeng Zhiqing angrily, how could this kind of thing be done casually? Zeng Zhiqing smiled and smiled at Yanran, Yanran didn't dare to really be angry with him, just looked at the path.
"I, I won't quit with you, no matter what my uncle says, I won't quit!" Shi An looked at Zeng Zhixian, and finally said this sentence, and it turned red to the root of his ears. Zeng Zhixian's long-standing apprehension disappeared because of these words, and his face showed a heartfelt smile for the first time since the death of his parents, which opened like a spring flower, making Shi An a little stunned. It turns out that his wife is not only so thin, but also very beautiful.
Yanran saw that there seemed to be a skirt turning on the other side of the path, and was busy gesturing to Zeng Zhiqing desperately, Zeng Zhiqing understood, stepped forward to put his arm on Shi An's shoulder, and motioned him to go out with him quickly. Shi An glanced at Zeng Zhixian deeply, and then left quickly with Zeng Zhiqing. Yan Ran saw that the corner of her skirt on the other side of the road disappeared, so she patted her chest and ran back to Zeng Zhixian: "Miss, this matter can't be done in the future." If the old lady knows, my sister ......"
"Grandmother should know, or he won't be able to get in!" Zeng Zhixian's expression at this time was not the same as before, originally Yanran felt that although she was very beautiful, there was always a kind of sadness, but at this time, that sadness began to fade, and a vitality that only belonged to a girl began to spread in her.
"Miss!" Yan Ran couldn't help but hold her hand: "Really? Zeng Zhixian was a little strange why Yanran suddenly held his hand, but still nodded: "Yes, in this family, what can I hide from my grandmother?" Let's go find my grandmother first! ”
Yan Ran responded, helped Zeng Zhixian to go forward, Zeng Zhixian smiled quietly again, the maid given by his grandmother is actually very good, the servant is not careful, and she thinks very thoughtfully, but I don't know, can she be loyal to herself?
Mrs. Zeng led people to sit under a bush of trees, listening to a maid telling jokes, and saw Zeng Zhixian coming over, Mrs. Zeng asked the maid to stop telling jokes, and beckoned her granddaughter to come over: "The lotus is beautiful, you can look at it for a while, and I have nothing to do with it." ”
As soon as he said this, Zeng Zhixian became more and more sure that this matter was arranged by his grandmother, and he smiled lightly before saying: "It is right for a granddaughter to serve and rent a storefront!" "Old Madam Zeng saw Zeng Zhixian for a short while, and it was different from the original, her sadness dissipated a lot, and there was a bright color between her eyebrows, and the whole person was happier than before. A smile couldn't help but appear on his lips, although Brother Qing was messing around, but the young man's affairs were still known to the young people themselves, as long as Shi An insisted on refusing to withdraw from his family, Shi Hou's family could not be too tough, after all, the two sides had been talking about this family affair for a long time.
Thinking about it, Mrs. Zeng patted Zeng Zhixian's hand lovingly, and Zeng Zhixian looked up and smiled at her. Mrs. Zeng looked into the distance, many things should have passed, they were all people with the surname Zeng, and they couldn't do things indiscriminately for the sake of the reputation of the Zeng family.
It's August in a blink of an eye, the autumn season has arrived, Zeng Zhixian was a little restless in those days, although Yan Ran didn't know what Zeng Zhixian's mood was, but she also understood that she was worried about Shi An, and patiently persuaded and comforted. Let the anxiety in Zeng Zhixian's heart slowly disappear.
On the day of the release, Zeng Zhixian got up early in the morning, and went to greet Mrs. Zeng after freshening up, Mrs. Zeng also got up early this day, and when she saw Zeng Zhixian's expression, she smiled and comforted her: "There is no need to be so anxious, Aunt Shi is only sixteen this year, sixteen years old, not to mention lifting people, even Xiucai is young, this pound can't win, and it is normal to go through a few more subjects, not to mention anything else, your father took the exam twice when he was a lifter!" ”
Although the second master Zeng took the examination twice, but in the second year of the examination, he won the Jinshi, and the Jinshi in his early twenties can be called young and promising. Aunt Wu knew that today was the release day, and she also came to Mrs. Zeng's side early to listen to the letter, and when she walked to the door, she heard Mrs. Zeng's words, and the tears flowed out at once. Xiaochan hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe Aunt Wu's tears.
Aunt Wu took the handkerchief and wiped the tears off her face, and then she cleaned up her mood and walked into the upper room. Zeng Zhixian heard Mrs. Zeng mention her father, and her heart was also sour, and when she saw Aunt Wu coming in, she hurriedly got up to greet her: "The old aunt is here, and my grandmother is talking about my father's words, I don't know a lot!" ”
Old Aunt Wu held back her grief and said: "Those are in the past, I, I hope that your father will be blessed by the spirit of heaven, so that Aunt Shi will be hit, and it will be good to block the mouths of those people!" "The rumors are to be broken by good news, as long as Shi'an High School, the so-called rumors of Zeng Zhixian's bad luck will disappear naturally, Zeng Zhixian hummed, and the expectation on his face was deeper, he must be hit.
The masters inside are anxious, and the maids waiting outside are more relaxed, whether Shi Anzhong or not, it doesn't have much impact on them, at most, there are some differences when serving the master.
"Sister Yanran, when you arrived at the eldest lady, has there been any change?" Guo'er asked Yanran quietly, and Yanran smiled: "What's the change?" It's not the same monthly money, and the eldest lady is also a kind person, but you, you have been promoted to the second class, and the monthly money is more than before, do you want your uncle to pay your monthly money again! "Zeng Zhixian's side, according to the rule, there can't be a person with one or two months' money, but Yanran is by Mrs. Zeng's side, and Mrs. Yuejuan Zeng praised her for her loyalty and gave Yuejuan a month money, so Zeng Zhixian's side, there are two maids with one or two silvers, and Zeng Zhiqing has no such side.
But there is a reason for it, even if it is Mrs. Zeng, she will not take this matter with an orphan girl who has lost her parents. Isn't it just a month more than two or two months, Zeng Zhixian can be at home for a few years, how much more can he spend? If you talk about this, then it's called a price drop?
When he mentioned Yueqian Guo'er's little face, he wrinkled: "Sister, don't mention this, my second uncle, you don't know, he, the money in the oil pot is not too hot, let alone my monthly money?" Yue Yue goes to support more diligently than others. Now, I can only save up all those rewards! ”
As he spoke, Guo'er whispered: "I have been promoted to the second class, and the reward is more than before!" Yanran smiled: "Then you have to be good, not only to be promoted to the second class, but also to the first class in the future!" This dare is good, Guo'er's face showed joy again, the two were talking here, but the atmosphere in the room was not so relaxed, although Zeng Zhixian wanted to say a few words to break the dullness, but she was still preoccupied, how could she find words to say?
The Zhao family got the instructions of Mrs. Zeng today, and waited for news outside early, and had to deal with housework, and was not in Mrs. Zeng's room, and Mrs. Zeng took her daughter back to her parents' house to live for a few days, and no one came to relieve the three of them.
"You look at me, I look at what you do? How much can the world's mouth be blocked? Sister Xian, don't think about it, as a man, you must not think too much! The atmosphere was so stuffy that Old Madam Zeng couldn't help but speak, and Old Aunt Wu immediately echoed: "Madam is right, Miss, don't think about it!" ”
Can you really not think about it? Zeng Zhixian was just about to speak, when he heard a noisy sound outside, Zeng Zhixian's heart was raised, and Yan Ran had already lifted the curtain and walked in: "Good news to the old lady and eldest lady, Mrs. Fang Cai let people say, they have seen the list, Aunt Shi is on the list, let people tell me first!" ”
Oops, this sound made Zeng Zhixian's heart fall to the ground, and Aunt Wu's tears of excitement came out, and she chanted: "I just said that the eldest lady is blessed!" Mrs. Zeng was calmer than them: "Did your wife say that it was the first?" ”
Yanran shook her head: "Look at the name of the list first, and when you see your uncle's name, you will immediately come back to report the news, and you will take a closer look at the number of these!" "Anyway, even if it's the last place, it's good to be on the list. Zeng Zhixian wanted to wipe away the tears in his eyes, but the tears couldn't be wiped away.
"Say hello to my niece!" This time it was the Zhao family who came, Yan Ran hurriedly stepped forward to open the curtain for her, the Zhao family walked in with a smile, and saluted the old lady Zeng before saying: "I have seen it clearly, the nephew and uncle are in the thirty-sixth place, this is not considered to be in the top five, but it is not low!" I also asked people to ask, and said that they went to Shijia to report the good news, and they will come to our house to report the good news! ”
Come here to report the good news, that is, to regard this side as Shi'an's Yue family, Mrs. Zeng patted Zeng Zhixian's hand and said to Zhao: "Prepare for the reward, how much silver your second uncle rewarded back then, and how much silver is rewarded today!" "Zhao should be, so he went out to Zhang Luo.
Old Mrs. Zeng had already held Zeng Zhixian in her arms: "My son, are you relieved now?" Zeng Zhixian nodded a little shyly, and Aunt Wu watched from the side, and couldn't help but feel sour again, but she also stepped forward to make fun of Zeng Zhixian with Mrs. Zeng, the shyness on Zeng Zhixian's face was deeper, and now, you can really rest assured.
The newspapers went to Shifu and came to Zeng's house, and when the newspaper came to the door, the Zeng family set off firecrackers and took out a hundred taels of silver, sweeping away the gloomy atmosphere that permeated the entire mansion when the second master and his wife both died.
"Sister, is it true that my brother-in-law will not withdraw from you if he is moved, and no one will say those words?" Zeng Zhiwu got out of school, and when he saw Zeng Zhixian, he talked to Zeng Zhixian, and Zeng Zhixian's eyebrows furrowed when he heard his brother's words: "Who are you listening to nonsense?" ”
Are all those words bad? Zeng Zhiwu's small forehead was wrinkled, Yuejuan came in with a plate of snacks, and when she saw Zeng Zhiwu's appearance, she hurriedly said to Zeng Zhixian: "Miss, the old lady's upper room is full of people here, and there are many people, and there are always some words that will inevitably drift into the ears of the seventh master." ”
