Chapter 563: The Exam Begins
Ma Shi showed a trace of doubt on his face, and before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ye Zhengde, and he said with relief on his face: "Good son, father, I didn't hurt you in vain, then you go quickly." ”
Ye Wenhao didn't move when he heard this, but looked at Yu Shi instead, and said, "Father, I don't have any money in my hand, how many meat buns do you want?" ”
Ye Zhengde frowned a little distressedly, and waved his hand at Yu Shi beside him: "Go, take ten cents for Da Lang, not five cents." ”
After speaking, he looked at his son again: "Buy me four meat buns, and you keep the rest of the text." ”
Ye Wenhao pretended to be happy, took the money handed over by the Guo family, and simply answered yes, ignoring his mother's inquiring gaze, and turned around and walked out of the house quickly.
Ye Hanyue on the other side of the kang pouted dissatisfiedly, she hadn't spoken yet, why did her brother run so fast?
Glancing at the father next to him.... What about the four meat buns, there should be one of her, right?
Ye Wenhao here ran out of the house at a fast speed, and continued to trot towards the town at his feet, until he was tired of running and was far away from the range of the village, he slowed down.
It was only in the early hours of his work that he came to town.
Touching the copper coin in his cuffs, he hesitated, and instead of buying a bun immediately, he found a merchant and spent a penny to buy a delicate head flower.
Carefully holding the head flower, he came to the side door of the Zhong family's big mansion and waited a little nervously.
More than two quarters of an hour later, I heard a "squeak" sound of opening the door, and the door not far from Ye Wenhao was opened from the inside, and a maid named A Luo walked out from the inside and waved at him.
Ye Wenhao showed a hint of joy on his face, walked over quickly, and followed the maid to the pavilion in the garden.
The beautiful girl saw the young man and smiled gently: "Lang Jun hasn't been to the town for a while." ”
Although the two had met many times before, in the face of the girl, Ye Wenhao's palms were still sweating.
His left hand quickly rubbed on his shirt, his eyes flashed with nervous anticipation, and he carefully held the flower and handed it to the girl.
"I ..... My father was injured and I stayed at home to take care of him, so I couldn't come here. ”
The girl took the flower from his hand and asked with a smile, "Is this what Lang Jun gave me?" ”
"Well, I don't have much money on me, I can't afford to buy something better, you.... Don't be disgusted. Ye Wenhao didn't dare to look directly at the girl, glanced at her, and quickly looked away.
The girl smiled: "I like it very much, no matter what Lang Jun gives me, I will cherish it." ”
Although the flower in her hand was very rough and crude, even the maid around her was much better than this, and she didn't mind it in the slightest.
Because she knew very well that for the young man, the penny spent on buying a head was probably one of the few pennies he had, or even all of them.
Turning her head and telling the maid to put away the flowers, the girl's eyes looked at the young man again: "Is Lang Jun's father okay?" ”
"I've taken medicine, and I've been getting better in the past few days." Ye Wenhao immediately replied.
The girl nodded and asked, "I don't know if Lang Junke has told his family?" ”
Ye Wenhao was silent for a few breaths, and replied with some embarrassment: "My mother is only one of my sons, I ...... Lady, give me some more time. ”
Although the balance in his heart has been tilted a lot towards the girl, considering his mother's difficult situation in the Ye family, he still can't make up his mind.
He planned to wait for his sister to get married, and if his mother's life was better, he would bring it up.
The girl didn't get angry when she heard this, but she appreciated the other party more in her heart, she thought for a while and said, "Lang Jun's father is injured. ”
"Life at home may be more difficult than before, if Lang Jun's father can agree to this matter, I can give Lang Jun two hundred taels of silver, and presumably your mother's life will be better."
"Lang Jun, don't think about it, I didn't mean to insult Lang Jun in this move......."
...............
In an inn in the county seat, Li Xingwang walked into the room excitedly.
Ye Ming in the house said: "Brother Ming, I heard that there will be many students going to the natural residence in the city in the afternoon, and I don't know what the hell is going on, should we go together to have a good time?" ”
Ye Ming, who was practicing calligraphy in the room, paused, thought for a while and said, "It's okay, maybe I can learn something." ”
"Then let's go quickly, this matter is sooner rather than later." Li Xingwang was happy.
Ye Ming put down the brush and said, "You go and ask the others first, if you want to go together, I'll ask my fourth uncle." ”
"Oh, okay." When Li Xingwang heard the words Fourth Uncle, the excitement on his face subsided a lot, and he was not very happy to respond, obviously he didn't want to be with the other party very much.
Ye Ming didn't care about his look, and walked straight out of the room, no matter what, it was his fourth uncle, in front of outsiders, similar things still needed to be asked.
However, according to the performance of the other party in recent days, he knows very well in his heart that the other party will basically not agree to this matter.
The thought flashed through his mind, and he had already walked to the door of the next room, stretched out his finger and tapped it a few times: "Fourth uncle? ”
"Is there something wrong?" Ye Zhengxing in the room did not call the other party out, nor did he mean to open the door, but asked in a cold voice.
Ye Ming didn't mind this, and repeated Li Xingwang's remarks just now, and finally asked, "Does Fourth Uncle want to go with us to take a look?" ”
"I'm not going, you can go." As expected, Ye Zhengxing refused without hesitation.
"Okay." Ye Ming didn't say anything more, turned around and simply left.
At the door of the room on the other side, Li Xingwang and several companions gathered together, saw this scene, and pouted.
muttered in a low voice: "He is bored in the house every day, and he doesn't know what he does, it seems that he is the only one who works hard, and we know how to play!" ”
A few people next to him glanced at each other, although they agreed with his statement in their hearts, but on the surface, several people diverted the topic: "You say, the natural residence will not hold a poetry meeting." ”
"Who knows, Erlang, hurry up, I'll be waiting for you......"
Ye Ming, who stayed in the county seat, except for the words that were fixed every day and practiced for two hours, the rest of the time, he would go around with his friends from time to time, but he met a lot of students.
He felt that what Mr. said was very right, studying depends on the hard work on weekdays, and when it is time to take the exam, he needs to relax himself so that he can maintain a better spirit.
A few days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the exam day has come.
Before dawn, a low-key carriage drove to the front of the inn and waited quietly.
In the inn, Ye Ming, who had prepared it last night, cautiously checked the things he wanted to bring again, and after confirming that there was no problem, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Picking up the bookcase, he walked out of the room.
