Chapter 16 Wei is coming
Although he knew the results of the exam from the system, Xu Xi had no way to explain the reason, and it was difficult to tell Xu Xue.
When the two of them left the academy, the mother-in-law guarding the door handed out a sign to each of them, saying, "Come to the academy tomorrow to see the list, and those with names on the list will be considered admitted." This is the sign for entering the academy, but you have to keep it and enter the academy with the card. If you are admitted tomorrow, the card will not be withdrawn, and you will rely on this card to study and enter and exit in the future; If you are not admitted, the sign will be withdrawn. If the brand is lost, even if you are admitted, you can't come to study, and you will be dethroned directly. ”
When Xu Xue heard this, she was so frightened that she grabbed the sign tightly.
Xu Xi put the sign in his arms, pulled Xu Xue to thank his mother-in-law, and then went out of the door.
In the process of entering the garden, many people did not pass the test and were driven out of the garden; When I went in to take the exam, a number of people were sent out. As a result, there were more than half as many people waiting outside the door as when they entered the park. As soon as they walked out of the gate, they saw Xu Yongyi standing not far away waving at them.
These girls who took the exam have a good chance of being admitted, becoming students of the girls' academy, and also becoming classmates of their masters and relatives, so the people waiting outside seem to be more qualified than when they entered the kindergarten.
Xu Xi guessed that the exam was not over, and perhaps there were still examiners outside the park observing their words and deeds. She thanked the person who gave way again and again, and secretly signaled Xu Xue, Xu Xue hurriedly followed, and the two thanked all the way to Xu Yongyi's side.
"How's it going?" Xu Yongyi asked.
Xu Xi shook his head: "I don't know yet, I'm waiting for the gentlemen to read the papers, and the list will be released tomorrow." She added, "Uncle, let's go back quickly." ”
"Okay." Xu Yongyi took the two out of the house, hired a mule cart on the street, and drove them home. Because he didn't know how long they would have to wait for the exam, Xu Yongyi did not ask the villagers who were driving mule carts in the village to wait for them.
In the car, Xu Xue wanted to show the sign to her father, but Xu Xi grabbed her: "Look at it when you go home." ”
When she took the sign, she glanced at it, the sign was made of wood, carved with some patterns and three big characters of "entry and exit cards", and nothing else. The mother-in-law who guarded the door also said that this sign is a voucher for entering and leaving the garden after admission.
If you lose it, you will not only be admitted but also unable to enroll, and you may also be punished, after all, it will bring a safety hazard to the garden. Therefore, this brand must be kept well in the past three days, and there is no big mistake in being careful.
That's why she didn't stay on the street for long, but rushed home immediately. Regardless of whether the Suiping Marquis Mansion came today or not, whether the people came or not, what should be faced must be faced.
……
Let's say that on the side of Xiaorong Village, as early as an hour and a half ago, three carriages with the logo of the Suiping Marquis Mansion slowly drove into the village, attracting the children of Xiaorong Village to follow the carriage. After a while, adults who like to watch the excitement also rushed to Xu Yongyi's house one after another, surrounding the Xu family's house with three floors inside and three floors outside.
Yesterday, everyone ate a big melon. There was little fun in the countryside in ancient times, and yesterday's scene was even more exciting than singing a big drama during the New Year, with gossip, everyone even saved miles last night. Today's melons are naturally not to be missed.
Wei was forced to pick up Xu Xi, he was already angry, but when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but scold: "What the hell is this place?" It's dirty, it's stinking. Then he commanded the guards outside, "Drive them away." ”
Zhao Yuanliang glanced at Wei with a dark face, turned his face to the guards and said, "It's good to talk, don't conflict with people, just stop them and don't let them get close." ”
When Wei saw her husband carrying it with her, she raised her eyebrows and was about to quarrel with him, but when she saw her husband's cold gaze, she was in a pang and reluctantly closed her mouth.
Wei's family is a descendant, but when she got married, her father was only a five-grade petty official, and he was born in a poor family, and more than a dozen people in the family all relied on Wei's father's idea to live, not to mention how difficult it was. When she got married, the dowry was not very decent.
When they got married, the Suiping Marquis Mansion was still the Guogong Mansion. The old man is seriously ill, and Zhao Yuanliang himself has no ability, he is still a concubine, and it is really difficult to marry a good girl from a noble family. He saw that Father Wei was very good at drilling camps, as if he could be promoted, and Wei had a bit of a posture, so he came to the door to ask for marriage.
At that time, although the old Guogong was seriously ill, the Guogong Mansion was not in decline like it is now. Besides, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, no matter how the Guogong Mansion declines, there is still a big mansion, and there are some fields and shops under the name, wearing gold and silver, making slaves call maids, and paying attention to food and clothing, which is a hundred times stronger than the Wei family.
Besides, marrying the girl in the family to the noble family is also a face-saving matter.
Therefore, as soon as Zhao Yuanliang came to the door to propose marriage, the Wei family readily agreed and married the Wei family.
I have to say that although Zhao Yuanliang doesn't have much ability, his vision is still okay. Things were as he expected, Father Wei slowly climbed up, and now he is a member of the third grade. With the power in his hands, the life of the family has gradually become more and more prosperous, and now the life is no worse than that of the Hou Mansion.
It was the Guogong Mansion, which was demoted to the Hou Mansion after the death of the old Guogong. And because of the incompetence of the younger generations, the family sat on the mountain and fell into decline.
Under the rise and fall, Wei Shi, who was low in front of her husband, trembled, and she was arguing about what Zhao Yuanliang said. Zhao Yuanliang hoped that his father-in-law could help him with a certain position in the yamen, so he put up with her in every possible way, which made Wei more and more unable to recognize his identity and status. If it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Hou was very powerful, and Mrs. Hou Zhu was a powerful person, Wei was afraid that she would not walk sideways in the Hou Mansion.
Until the matter of holding the wrong child was exposed, Mrs. Hou punished her; Zhao Yuanliang saw that his father-in-law was delaying giving him a certain position, and he also gave her a cold face. Wei himself is also weak-hearted, so he is a man with his tail between his legs.
Although the people of Xiaorong Village like to eat melons, they are also measured. Seeing that there were many more guards today than yesterday, and the carriage was more luxurious than yesterday's, I knew that the identity of the people who came today was not simple.
In the courtyard of the Xu family, the Xie family was restless all morning. This uneasiness was all because Xu Xi said that someone from the Hou Mansion might come before leaving, so that she could be mentally prepared.
A good deed had already seen the carriage of the Hou Mansion enter the village, and when the carriage stopped, they ran over to tell the Xie family.
When Xie heard the people from the Hou Mansion coming, it was like a boot hanging above his head and fell to the ground, and he was not so worried in his heart.
She straightened her clothes, thought about it, and simply opened the courtyard door, and sat down in the hall by herself to collect the soles of her shoes.
Mama Ruan and Steward Liu came with them today, and the one who drove the car also came yesterday, so they are familiar with the road.
When she arrived at the door of Xu's house, Mama Ruan got out of the carriage, trotted forward, and said to Zhao Yuanliang and Wei in the car: "Second master, second lady, the old slave will go in first and say something." ”
Mama Ruan is a proud person in front of Mrs. Hou, and Wei Shi will not dare to play majestic in front of Mama Ruan.
She suppressed the irritability in her heart and squeezed out a smile at Mama Ruan: "I'm tired of Mama." ”
