On the second day, Su Yuemei calculated the time of Su Yushi's next dynasty and hurried to the Yushi Mansion.

"Father." When Su Yuemei walked into Su Yushi's study, Su Yushi had already returned from the next dynasty and was reading official documents in the study.

"Yuemei, why did you come back today? Let's wait for lunch before leaving. As he spoke, Su Yushi instructed the little servant to prepare more in the kitchen.

"Well, it's been a long time since my daughter has eaten with her father." Su Yuemei said with a smile.

After the little servant left, there was only a father and daughter left behind the room, and Su Yushi asked, "Is there something wrong with coming over today?" Don't hide it, just talk about it. ”

Su Yuemei nodded and said, "Yes." Father, in a few months, Hao'er's imperial examination will be held. Has my father read Hao'er's article? I don't know if my father can see if Hao'er can be lifted? ”

Su Yushi glanced at Su Yuemei clearly, and said with a smile: "Yuemei was worried about Hao'er." I've read the article he wrote recently, and if it plays normally, it should be fine, but the top three are estimated to be difficult. ”

Su Yuemei breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and then continued: "I don't expect Hao'er to be in the top three, as long as I can have an official position." ”

Su Yushi listened to his daughter's words strangely, and asked uneasily: "Yuemei, is this what happened?" ”

Su Yuemei thought for a moment and said, "Father, Rong Xuan took Cuiping into the room, and my mother also carried my aunt. ”

Su Yushi asked in shock, "What's going on?" Hasn't Rong Xuan been reluctant to take a concubine for so many years? ”

Su Yuemei sighed and said with a little grievance: "Father, my daughter doesn't know what's wrong, she has a strange disease. ”

This frightened Su Yushi, but after looking at it carefully for a while, he didn't find anything wrong with his daughter. It's just that my daughter used to like a light fragrance, and the fragrance on her body is a little strong today. Puzzled, Su Yushi couldn't help but ask, "What strange disease do you have?" Have you asked for a doctor? Why don't I get you a doctor? ”

Su Yuemei hurriedly stopped Su Yushi, and then said: "Father, my daughter always has a peculiar smell on her body for some reason, and many doctors have been invited to say that this can't be cured, and then the mother invited Imperial Doctor Hu to her daughter, but Imperial Doctor Hu was helpless, saying that this is the fox odor in the body, which is easy to have after sweating, but there is no medicine to remove it, and finally the imperial doctor only gave her daughter some deodorant pills, saying that after eating, the body will emit fragrance and can cover up the odor." ”

Su Yushi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, it would be good if he could cover it up. Don't continue to listen patiently to your daughter. Su Yuemei really felt that it was difficult to speak, but all she could ask for was her father, so she gritted her teeth and continued: "However, every time my daughter and husband perform the Zhou Gong ceremony, the smell wafts out, and once my husband ran outside the door and vomited after smelling it. Later, Mama Gui was afraid that Aunt Zhang would seduce her husband in the past, so she sent Cui Ping to guard in her husband's study. As a result, that night, the husband took Cuiping into the house, and the next day the husband begged to his mother, and the mother took charge of Cuiping and lifted her aunt. ”

Su Yushi has always loved his daughter, and he held it in the palm of his hand when he was a child, and he was not willing to accept Su Yuemei at all. When he heard this, he couldn't help but be angry, and said angrily: "When can't he Yu Rongxuan want to take a concubine?" How can you do such a reluctance when you are sick? It's still the maid by your side. This Cui Ping really doesn't know what to do. No, I have to go to the Jade Mansion and ask them what they are dissatisfied with you and why they are doing this to you. ”

Su Yuemei was so frightened that she hurriedly stopped Su Yushi, thinking that if her father knew that she had been blocking her husband from taking concubines all these years, she might not be able to get any benefits in the end. So Su Yuemei persuaded with tears in her eyes: "Father, let this matter pass." After all, I am the master's mother, and giving my husband a concubine is what the master's mother should do, otherwise people will say that I am a jealous woman. ”

Su Yushi He didn't know these truths, and he still felt sorry for Su Yuemei in his heart, and he still couldn't help complaining: "You just have too soft a heart." Back then, if you had to start with a concubine, I wouldn't agree. But now, does he Yu Rongxuan ever care about you? ”

Su Yuemei was also aggrieved at this time, and after so many years of ridicule from everyone, she finally ended up as an abandoned woman. Although the middle feed is in his own hands, even Zhao Jiaxin's dowry is not as good as Zhao Rongxuan's little money and rewards, and the real good things have always been grasped by Mrs. Yu; As for the favor that was once and present, it is now an endless irony. Now only his own children are the last support, after all, his father will also grow old.

So Su Yuemei wiped her tears and continued: "Therefore, Hao'er must pass the imperial examination and get another official and a half-position." In this way, the daughter has confidence in the Yu family. After all, Hao'er is his current sister-in-law of Yu Rongxuan. ”

Su Yushi nodded approvingly, and then comforted: "Daughter, don't worry too much. The teacher in Hao'er School is my old acquaintance, and the two of us have studied Hao'er's articles, and basically speaking, there is no problem. And I also heard Hao'er say that Rong Xuan often takes Hao'er to visit some famous Confucian teachers, which shows that Rong Xuan still attaches great importance to Hao'er. ”

Su Yuemei was still worried that her son would not play well on the spot, and said, "Father, what if Hao'er doesn't play well on the spot?" Can you leave a vacancy for Hao'er first, so that even if he fails the exam, he can go to that vacancy and get promoted after a few years. ”

Su Yushi knew that if he didn't promise his daughter today, he was afraid that his daughter would not be reconciled, so he nodded and responded: "Okay, I want to find a way to leave him a small position in Wenyuan Pavilion, and then make other plans after his imperial examination." ”

Su Yuemei was very happy, "That's great." I'm also worried that Hao'er will be affected because of himself, and if he has a half-official position, the husband will not give him up easily. ”

Su Yushi sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, you go and talk to your brother and sister-in-law about having lunch together for a while." ”

"Okay." Su Yuemei knew that her father had official business to do, so she withdrew from the study.

In the Mingxiang courtyard, Su Yiman was playing chess with his mother, and since Su Yiman told Mrs. Su what Yurun said, Mrs. Su's heart slowly relaxed, and she began to be willing to stay in the courtyard for a while.

"Hey, what a coincidence today, Iman is also there." After Su Yuemei walked into the courtyard, she saw that no one took care of her, so she had to speak first to break the embarrassment. And Mrs. Su and Su Yiman had already seen Su Yuemei come in, but the two of them tacitly didn't speak, and their eyes stared at the chessboard, as if it was so exciting.

Su Yiman heard Su Yuemei pointing at him, nodded his head without raising his head, and said, "Yes, aunt sit down." Spring rain, tea. ”

Before Su Yuemei could sit down, Chunyu had already brewed the tea and put it on the coffee table, and then retreated to Su Yiman's side. This behavior like a plague god made Su Yuemei frown. However, Su Yuemei also knew in her heart that since she found a two-room concubine room for her brother, this sister-in-law and niece had been separated from her, so she didn't think much about it, just pouted her lips disdainfully, thinking that she could blame her sister-in-law? It's not that he can't give birth to a son. If you want to blame, you can only blame her own stomach.

After drinking tea, Su Yuemei still didn't see her brother, so she asked Mrs. Su, "Sister-in-law, where is my brother?" Isn't it in the house? My father said we would have dinner together. ”

Mrs. Su raised her head and smiled symbolically, and said, "Yueyun went out early in the morning, and I don't know when I will come back. Maybe you can only eat lunch with your father. Iman and I received a post from Taifu's house yesterday, and we will leave for Taifu's house in a while. Today is the birthday of Zhilan, the daughter of the Taifu family. Because it was a small birthday, I called a few acquaintances to have a meal together to have a lively time. ”

Su Yuemei was stunned, such a coincidence? But there is no way, I can't go to Taifu's house to ask. So Su Yue said with pity on her face: "It's really unfortunate, I haven't seen my brother and sister-in-law and Iman for a long time, and you all have something to do." It looks like we'll be able to eat together next time. ”

Su Yiman sighed deeply, and said to Chunyu: "Chunyu, you hurry up and go to Taifu's Mansion now, just say that my aunt is coming to the house, and my mother and I will arrive later." The spring rain responded and hurriedly ran out.

Then Su Yiman said apologetically to Su Yuemei: "Auntie, it's really a bad luck today, if my father is here, I can still accompany you to dinner." But I've already asked Chunyu to inform Zhilan, and my mother and I can stay with you for a while. ”

Su Yuemei nodded happily, and then said, "Auntie will dress you up in a while." ”

When Su Yiman heard this, he looked up at Su Yuemei, then stood up happily and pulled Su Yuemei to his room, and said to Mrs. Su as he walked: "Mother, you can also prepare, I will ask my aunt to pick out clothes for me." Su Yuemei was also a little happy when she heard that Su Yiman was a little close to her.

After entering Su Yiman's boudoir, Su Yuemei carefully helped Su Yiman pick out a goose yellow dress, Su Yiman shook his head and said, "Today is Sister Zhilan's birthday, I want to wear something festive." In the end, the two of them picked out a long peach-colored dress embroidered with a hundred flowers. After Su Yuemei combed Su Yiman into a simple bun, Su Yiman cocked her mouth and said, "Auntie, isn't this bun too simple?" It doesn't fit my dress. ”

Su Yuemei thought that her niece was a little girl Aimei, so she said, "It's okay, I'll find you a few bright-colored hairpins and plug them in." Anyway, today is someone else's birthday, and you can't steal the limelight from others. ”

Su Yiman almost squirted out of his saliva, thinking that your own daughter Yuyao just stole the limelight of Princess Rongle alive, this is different from educating others, a proper double standard. Su Yiman didn't speak, and let Su Yuemei pick it in the makeup box, but no matter what Su Yuemei took out, Su Yiman was not satisfied, and finally Su Yiman showed the shyness of a little girl and said: "Auntie, I like the golden hairpin on your head, I still smelled good when you picked something for me just now." ”

Su Yue's eyebrows tightened, this is a fragrant bead embedded in it, if it is given to her niece, what if she can't hide the smell? But Su Yuemei looked at Su Yiman's pitiful appearance, and finally forced a smile to take down the golden hairpin and insert it on Su Yiman's head. Suyman happily shouted hello to his aunt. Su Yuemei also felt slightly relieved in her heart when she heard this, and finally she didn't give it in vain, but she was still more worried than relieved.
