Five days have passed, and the government has released the list. Zhang Bang was crowded, and in the crowd, some people looked up to the sky and shouted, shouting that it was over, and some people left with pale faces and dejected faces.

There is no messenger for the children's exam, and everyone's results can only be checked at the Zhang Bang. There are not many people in the family of the children of the poor family, so they can only come over with two or three friends to see Zhang Bang, and the students of the rich families naturally stay in the house, waiting for the next person to send the message back.

Because of today's list, all the masters in the Jingyong Mansion are waiting in the old lady's Fushou Hall. The three Yu Enrong brothers all have errands, and they all have to go to the yamen on weekdays. At this time, only the wives of each room gathered in the main hall of Fujudo, with the small ones below.

Dafang has no one to take the exam this year, and Mrs. Xu and Xie Zijing are not as nervous as others, and they drink tea by themselves. Xie Zijing saw that the old lady was using tea, and the corner of her eyes always looked out of the door, knowing that the old man's heart was inevitably up and down, so she got up and walked to the old lady's side, and said with a gentle smile: "Old lady, I heard Chunxi say that as soon as you arrive on a rainy day, your knees will ache faintly. I wanted to make two leather knee pads with you, but unfortunately I am clumsy and can't always make the size. It's a coincidence today, and I want to borrow the old lady to take a look at the old one, okay? ”

Old lady Yu has always been a kind person, Xie Zijing almost grew up with her, hearing Xie Zijing say this, the old lady ironed in her heart and said: "These things are all done by their subordinates, why do you bother to be so tired." ”

Xie Zijing lowered her head and smiled, and deliberately quipped: "Wen Yuan is with my cousin in Hangzhou, I can't connect Wen Yuan's share and do two filial piety, it's just some needlework, where I get tired." Or does the old lady think I'm clumsy, the things I make are not good-looking, and I don't want to use them if I have a skirt in my way? ”

Speaking of this, Xie Zijing sighed again and said: "Don't blame the old lady for disgusting, even I dislike myself, the day before yesterday I saw my sister-in-law Xiupa's beautiful patterns, and I also learned to embroider one, but the good butterfly peony was learned by me to be a moth fluttering flowers, so to speak, forget it, save it, let the old lady see the joke." ”

Xie Zijing's tone was gentle, and she spoke softly and sincerely, which made the old lady laugh, and hurriedly asked the little maid to go to the inner room to get knee pads and come out, and then said to Xie Zijing: "The more you say this, the more I can't let you go." Take it and do it well. I'll see if it's done. ”

Xie Zijing was going to take the opportunity to coax the old lady to relax, but seeing that the look on the old lady Yu's face was not as dignified as just now, she took the knee pads sent by the little maid and answered with a smile.

The old lady was coaxed by Xie Zijing, and the atmosphere in the hall was not so tense. Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Liu were so concerned about the results of the government examination that they didn't care, but Mrs. Xu began to chat with the old lady without a word.

Xie Zijing's appearance is one of the best in the entire capital. She lightly applied fat powder today, wearing an ancient satin skirt that rained over the sky, standing beside the old lady and smiling, she was really like a fairy of the nine heavens, extraordinary and extraordinary.

Sitting next to Xu, Yu Wenda held the tea bowl and looked at Xie Zijing in a trance.

Mrs. Yu is so old, how can she not see Xie Zijing's intentions. Just as he was about to say a few more words to Xie Zijing, he heard the joyful shouts of the little guy outside the door.

"It's over! It's over! The little guy ran all the way to Fushoutang, shouting all the way. The maid waiting outside the door heard it from afar, and hurriedly turned around to pass the word, and for a while the entire Jingyong Mansion was lively, and someone could be heard shouting everywhere, it was over!

The old lady was quite quiet here, but she could also hear the noise outside, the old lady couldn't hold back, stood up, looked out of the door, and asked, "What is shouting outside?" But too much? ”

Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Liu also looked at the door fixedly, Xie Zijing was busy with the big girl Chunxi next to the old lady, and helped Mrs. Yu to hold her, Mrs. Xu listened and said: "I heard it shouted, don't worry, old lady, the sound outside has come in, presumably people are coming in soon." ”

As soon as Mrs. Xu's voice fell, a panting voice came from outside the door curtain: "Old lady, Mrs. is so happy!" Our young master Wenda, young master Wen'an's mansion has passed! ”

As soon as the little guy said this, everyone in the hall was overjoyed. Especially Mrs. Xu, she looked at Yu Wenda happily, but saw Yu Wenda looking in the direction of the old lady with a look of disappointment. Mrs. Xu's face changed, and while the others were busy and happy, she didn't pay attention, grabbed Yu Wenda, and said with a smile: "Are you stupid to be happy?" Don't go kowtow to the old lady yet! ”

Yu Wenda suddenly came back to his senses, and shivered slightly at Xu's warning gaze. Hurriedly got up, the little maids sent two futons, Yu Wenda and Yu Wenan knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady three times.

"Good!" The old lady swept away the absent-mindedness just now, smiled very happily at this time, and said to the two grandchildren: "You two are angry, successful in your studies, and win glory for the house." In the future, the lintel of the Jingyong Mansion will depend on your brothers to help each other and work hard to pass it on. ”

Yu Wenda and Yu Wenan thanked the old lady and got up and returned to their original seats. Just now he was only busy with joy, but at this time, the Xu family made time, glanced at Yu Wen'an, who was sitting next to Mrs. Liu, and said with a smile: "Wen'an is okay, at such a young age, he can pass the house test." I'm afraid you're tired on weekdays, right? Your mother too, there are brothers in front of the family, why bother to strangle you so tightly? If the body collapses, will it have to pay for the loss? ”

Xu's words were sincere, as if he was just worried that Yu Wen'an was too young and tired from studying too much. In her heart, Mrs. Liu just wanted to slap this poisonous woman to death.

Wen'an passed the house test, and she, who is an aunt, doesn't say congratulations and praises, but your mother is forcing you to be ruthless, I'm afraid that she will force you out of trouble.

On a happy day, it's not too bad to say this!

However, no matter how much Mrs. Liu hated in her heart, she could only smile on her face, but Yu Wen'an, after the last time she was staying in the guest house, the little boy's personality seemed to be a little tougher, and she replied at this time: "Thank you for your concern, but Wen'an likes to read, and Wen'an doesn't feel tired!" ”

Mrs. Liu looked at Yu Wen'an, her eyes were gratified, Mrs. Yu was even happier when she heard this, stretched out her hand to beckon Yu Wen'an, hugged him and said: "Okay, we Wen'an like to read, so concentrate on studying and become a scholar in the future!" ”

Everyone was happy, and the old lady let Yu Wenan sit back, and said solemnly: "The house has tried, although it is worth being happy." But after all, the government examination is only the beginning, and there will be the college examination three days later, and the autumn and spring after the college examination are the dragon gate that you scholars want to leap into. You must not be obsessed with this little achievement today and not want to make progress, you know? ”

Yu Wenda and Yu Wenan replied: "Sun Er understands. ”

The old lady looked at Yu Wenda again and said, "Wenda, you are going to study in Guozijian, you have to be better than ordinary students, and you should be more cautious in the future exams, grandmother believes in you and has high hopes for you." Do you understand? ”

Yu Wenda took a deep look and said to Mrs. Yu: "Grandmother, don't worry, Wenda will not disappoint grandmother!" When he got up, Yu Wenda saw Xie Zijing beside the old lady look at him, and he was a little dazed. When Xu Shi saw Yu Wenda's appearance, although he was still smiling on his face, there was some annoyance in his eyes.

Fortunately, Yu Wenda only hesitated for a moment and immediately sat back down. Otherwise, let Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Liu see it, and they don't know what to say.

Xu glared at Yu Wenda, but after Yu Wenda sat down, he buried his head and thought about his own going. I didn't notice Xu's eyes at all, Xu was displeased, and his eyes looked at Xie Zijing more and more cold.

Everyone gathered at the old lady's place for a long time, and now that they got the news and talked to the old lady for a while, they dispersed. Out of the courtyard gate of Fushoutang, Yu Wenda stood on the side of the road and looked at Xie Zijing's distant back, unable to return to his senses for a long time. As soon as Xu, who sent Mrs. Liu and Yu Wen'an away, turned around, he saw Yu Wenda's stupid appearance, and immediately became angry.

"Venda!" Xu Shi shouted in a deep voice, and Yu Wenda hurriedly turned around. Xu walked up to Yu Wenda, looked at Yu Wenda fixedly, and said, "Wenda, you are my son, and you have a great future in the future." Wan Mo was blinded by some wild flowers and wild meadows and went the wrong way. ”

The brothers and sisters in the second room were all brought up by the Xu family, and they could play tricks with the Xu family on weekdays, but once Mrs. Xu was serious, her face was straight. None of them dared to come nonsense in front of the Xu family.

Seeing Xu's appearance, Yu Wenda hurriedly said: "Mother don't worry, son knows." ”

Xu was reluctant to talk to Yu Wenda in the end, Yu Wenda was angry again this time, and Xu was the time to treasure him. Stretched out his hand to straighten his shirt, and said softly: "Okay, go to Wenshu." There will be a college exam in three days, and your grandmother is right, don't be careless. ”

Yu Wenda answered yes and hurried back to his hospital.

When Yu Wenda left, Xu gritted his teeth and scolded: "Sassy hooves." ”

Mother Xu stepped forward, helped Xu to walk back, and said, "Madam, what's the matter, the young master is overjoyed today, why are you still angry." ”

"What's wrong, what do you say I'm wrong!" Xu Shi said angrily: "It's not that Xie Zijing's fox is hateful!" I don't know the checkpoint, you didn't see what you did just now, and Wenda's soul is about to fly! ”

"Ouch, Mrs. That's unspeakable! Mother Xu hurriedly stopped and looked around again. Xu Shi snorted coldly and said in a low voice: "It's really a scourge, if it weren't for keeping her, it would be useless, see if I don't clean her up!" ”

……

Three days later, the hospital was opened on a trial basis.

The students who rushed to take the exam lined up outside the venue, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone they carried, including the clothes on their bodies, were carefully checked by special personnel. Yu Wenan lined up in the line early, and beside him, Liu Junnan, who came to send the exam, was still worried and told Yu Wenan over and over again.

Yu Wenan paid attention to the movements of the team while listening to Liu Junnan's instructions. Suddenly, there was a sneer from the side, Yu Wenan turned his head to look, and saw Yu Wenda, who was late, getting out of the carriage, the box was carried by the scholar, he walked to Yu Wenan with his hands behind his back, looked Yu Wenan up and down, and said with a smile: "Yu Wenan, you said that your little body, can you come out of it alive?" ”

Liu Junnan's face changed, and he was about to reply. Yu Wenan took Liu Junnan's hand, pressed it down, and motioned him to ignore it.

Yu Wenda saw that Yu Wenan was like a wooden man, and he couldn't kick a fart, and he didn't think it was interesting. Then he took the scholar directly to the front.

There were already people waiting at the door, and after inspecting Yu Wenda's things, he respectfully invited Yu Wenda in.

"Wen'an, ...... you" Liu Junnan looked at Yu Wen'an with some worry, Yu Wenda, who had a calm face, knew what Liu Junnan was worried about, the young man looked ahead, his eyes were firm and bright, and said: "Cousin, my life and background are all given by my parents, and I accept it calmly." In the future, what will I do in Yu Wen'an, but I will fight it myself. At this time, what does the gossip of others have to do with me? ”
