Chapter 055: Blocking Arrows

When the fourth wife, Jane, heard this, she felt that something was wrong.

Heather is her son, how can she let the big house go bankrupt.

Even if you want to feast the whole house, then the four rooms should be the east.

It's just that over the years, the number of times the four houses have been landlords is only a handful.

One is because they don't have enough money, and the other is because the people in the other houses are arrogant, and the banquet becomes more and more uninteresting.

"It's not good to make my sister-in-law break the bank, let's wait for a few days to release the list." Jane politely refused.

Now I don't know how Shi Nan did in the exam, in case he didn't play well, he would be killed.

Shi Jinxiu naturally understood her mother's thoughts, so she smiled and said: "Then borrow the auspicious words of the eldest aunt, if Brother Nan can be on the list, we will definitely invite the people in the house to be lively and lively at that time." ”

The eldest lady still did not give up, and continued: "In this case, let's not mention this stubble today, and let the family get together and have fun." ”

Li's insistence made Shi Jinxiu vigilant, and even Mrs. Shi felt a little strange.

Isn't my eldest daughter-in-law the least to see the fourth room on weekdays?

How did you get on the pole today?

She squinted at Li, but just happened to meet Li's pleading gaze.

Among Mrs. Shi's four daughters-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law is the most suitable for her: she has a good background, good looks, gives birth to a son, and can hold a family.

"Okay, don't fight, everyone will come to me for dinner today." Mrs. Shi spoke, "You go back first, come back for dinner, and the eldest daughter-in-law stays." ”

And they all withdrew from Mrs. Shi.

When Shi Jinxiu was leaving, she casually glanced back and found that the eldest aunt was leaning over Mrs. Shi's ear and muttering something softly.

"Mother, what do you say aunt is trying to do?" After leaving Mrs. Shi's Songzhu Hall, Shi Jinxiu caught up with her mother and asked quietly.

"We don't care about her!" Jane's smiled and helped her daughter straighten her clothes, "Don't forget that your brother is out of the examination room today, didn't you say that you want to pick him up with your father?" ”

Shi Jinxiu thought about it, and today's matter of heather is more important.

The examination hall will not be taken until the second half of the day, but the fourth old man Shigang hired a carriage to guard outside the examination hall after lunch.

It was his regret that he couldn't personally send Shi Nan into the examination room, so he hoped that Shi Nan would be able to see him as soon as he left the examination hall.

Shi Jinxiu deliberately changed into men's clothes and accompanied her father.

Although her father was not tortured in the prison of the Suppression Division, she was still a little uneasy when she looked at her father's pale face because of the fright.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity to be alone, Shi Gang asked Shi Jinxiu: "I asked your mother, and she said that this time I was wrongfully imprisoned, and the big room and the third room did not take much effort and effort." But I've been brothers with them for so many years, and I still know how capable they are. Although they are all officials in the court, one is from the fourth rank of the Imperial Palace, and the other is the Taifu Temple of the Sixth Grade, and the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen may still give them a thin face, but the Zhenfu Division, who only looks at the emperor's face and acts on weekdays, will not show them this favor. ”

"As for your second uncle, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is the most reluctant to get involved in our family's affairs, and if she can make people send some gifts during the New Year's holidays, she has already given our family a lot of face. So this matter is not your second uncle's effort. Shi Gang's expression became serious when he looked at Shi Jinxiu, "You told me before, saying that you asked a friend for help, so you tell me, what kind of friend can bring you to the prison of the Zhenfu Division?" ”

Shi Jinxiu was shocked when she heard this.

She had already turned the page on this matter, but she didn't expect her father to mention it again at this time.

"It's the second brother of Miss Cai of the Zheng Guo Mansion!" Shi Jinxiu's mind flashed.

Cai Xiang'er's second brother is the deputy commander of Yulinwei, and if he pushes them out as a shield, his father will not be suspicious.

"Is it Miss Cai, who is good friends with Sister Sanfangshan?" Shi Gang thought of what the third sister-in-law had said in Mrs. Shi's house in the morning.

"Yes, it's her!" Shi Jinxiu didn't understand what his father meant by asking, so he told his father that Mrs. Shi had saved Cai Xiang'er on her sixtieth birthday.

Shi Gang listened, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said with emotion: "The so-called good causes must have good results, and it is also thanks to you that you saved Miss Cai that day, and the Cai family is willing to save Daddy!" Therefore, you should do more good deeds on weekdays! ”

"Uh-huh." Seeing that his father finally stopped dwelling on this matter, Shi Jinxiu responded with a mouthful.

"However, in the future, you must not always trouble the Cai family because of this matter!" Shi Gang still didn't forget to advise, "After all, human favor is thinner and thinner the more you use it." ”

"Got it! Jinxiu is not a child anymore, this point of proportion is still accurate! Shi Jinxiu coaxed his father.

Shi Gang babbled with Shi Jinxiu about how to behave in the world, and soon ushered in the examination of the examination institute.

Although the children were all wearing similar student uniforms, Shi Jinxiu still saw the heather with a hesitant expression at a glance.

"Brother Nan!" She waved at the heather with some excitement.

Shi Nan heard the call and looked over, and when he saw the stone hill behind Shi Jinxiu, he swept away the haze on his face before, and ran over very excitedly.

"Daddy! Are you all right? Thinking that before he entered the examination room, he was still afraid of his father, so Shi Nan asked a little excitedly.

"I told you, Daddy is fine, and he will be released from prison in a few days, so you don't have to worry about it!" Shi Jinxiu thumped Shi Nan's chest, "You are not allowed to use this as an excuse!" ”

Shi Nan immediately begged Shi Jinxiu for mercy.

Shi Gang looked at the children in the fight, but there was indescribable relief in his heart.

"Where's Xu Li?" Shi Gang smiled and asked about Shi Nan, when he was in Shandong, he had seen Xu Li.

"Maybe it's going to be a little later!" Shi Nan recalled, "When I came out, I saw that he was still writing hard. ”

Hearing this, Shi Gang frowned.

The imperial examination of this dynasty, except for the county examination, which is five examinations, the rest are three consecutive examinations for nine days, if you still need to work the third and ninth days, most of them have no hope of winning.

He was thinking about this when he saw Xu Li walking out of the examination room with a sad face.

Shi Nan stepped forward to ask, and he just sighed blindly.

"Now that we've finished the exam, don't think about it anymore, let's go home happily first, and talk about other things after the results are released!" Shi Gang spoke to appease Xu Li.

Just as they were about to return home, Wang Ming blocked their way with eyes in his eyes.

"Heather! You're not going to forget the bet we made, are you? Wang Ming stood there, tilting his head, looking like he was watching a good show.
