Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Examination Is Approaching

"This Song family is really unreasonable, vainly trying to eat swan meat and asking our Chu family to forgive them, let Yinyin marry again, and actually want Chu Yun's stinky girl to marry together. What kind of virtue is Chu Yun's girl? If she marries Yinyin together, will Yinyin still have a good life? ”

At the family's banquet, someone took the lead and mentioned the Song family's coming to seek peace, and Mrs. Chu began to hold grievances for Chu Jiayin.

Chu Jiayin said: "Grandmother, they don't deserve your anger, it's a shame to be angry." Come, eat a little more dish. ”

She put the plum cabbage in front of her and put it in Mrs. Chu's bowl.

"Okay, don't mention it, it's my loss to mention it again. I'm angry here, but the Song family doesn't know how to rejoice now, it's not worth it! ”

The second lady also smiled: "Yes, Yinyin is not as stubborn as before now, do you want to find your in-laws' family, and are they still rare in the Song family?" It's just that there is a false name of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, and he really takes himself seriously? ”

Chu Jiazhen hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, Yinyin is now learning to read and study, and he knows martial arts, if I am a man, I will definitely break through the threshold and ask to marry." ”

Chu Wei slapped Chu Jiazhen on the head, and scolded with a smile: "I don't think you are sincere when you say this, but it is true that you want to accompany your sixth sister to learn martial arts." ”

The four girls in the second room don't like silk and satin hairpins, they only like military costumes, and they are jumping all day long. At the beginning, I begged for a while to learn martial arts, but the lady in the second room felt that it was unseemly, so she refused. Until now, she can only fantasize about her martial arts and become a heroine. In fact, he didn't even have the opportunity to practice martial arts.

Chu Jiazhen was pierced in her mind, and she didn't want to hide it anymore. She hurriedly rushed to Mrs. Chu's side, looked at her grandmother, and tried to win the other party's consent with a pleading look.

"Grandmother, you are an eccentric sound, and I also want to learn martial arts! At the beginning, I said that I wanted to learn, and then my mother and father disagreed, and I begged you. "Chu Jiazhen can be regarded as aggrieved to death, and it is as sour as if she has eaten several big lemons.

Old Madam Chu was extremely helpless, and said with a smile: "You grandchildren are really interesting, all men are contented and content, and they are content with the status quo." This female doll is more than one can jump, you tell me who will dare to marry in the future? Let's talk about you male dolls, you are so unmotivated, will the Chu family be depressed and defeated in the future, or will you sit and eat empty? ”

Saying this, Old Madam Chu glanced at several sons on the table, and when she swept it to Chu Jingyan, Old Madam Chu sighed secretly. Chu Jingyan is good in everything, but it's a pity that it's not the bloodline of the Chu family, seeing that this child grows up and becomes a talent again, Old Mrs. Chu can only be an outsider and drink vinegar.

What if he was the son of the big house?

Chu Jingming has always been clever, and seeing that his grandmother was unhappy, he hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "In the future, I will study harder for my grandson!" Strive to be able to be named on the gold list, win an official position, and take care of the Chu family. As for the fifth brother! ”

Chu Jingming's hand was on the shoulder of the fifth son, Chu Jingyang, and privately arranged a heavy burden for him without the other party's consent: "The fifth brother is dull, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get famous, so it's better to leave him at home to do business." Fifth brother, don't let down the trust of a big family, it's good to scatter your family wealth. ”

Chu Jingyang's mouth opened wide, and he couldn't wait to swallow Chu Jingming on the other side in one bite.

"What do you say? Eh, no, third brother, you are not much smarter than me, why do you still call me stupid? You can remember, in the last college exam, although you and I both won it, one was at the bottom of the list, and the other was only at the bottom of the list. But luckily outperformed me, and I can be called stupid? Second brother, you give me a comment! Chu Jingyang went to the doctor when he was sick, and he glanced around indiscriminately, and finally could only catch Chu Jingyan and block it.

Chu Jingyan chuckled and didn't answer. Speaking of which, although he can sit in this seat, he is an outsider after all, and if he comments on the people of the main family at will, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate, and he will be suspicious and disgusted.

Chu Jiayin, who lacked this scruple, opened his mouth and used what Chu Jingyan had learned: "You two are equal, the third brother says that the fifth brother is stupid, that is to scold yourself into it!" ”

"Hahahaha!"

In an instant, two people at a table begged with red faces, and the others laughed and couldn't help themselves.

"However, although you two are stupid, you can't lose the face of our Chu family in the township test! If anyone loses the list, we will all laugh at you for four whole years! Chu Jiayin said.

Chu Jingming was puzzled and asked, "Why four years?" That's laughing too long, isn't it? ”

"It will take a year to take the exam next year, and it will take another three years to take the exam.

Chu Jingming and Chu Jingyang hung their heads one after another, like a lost dog, this family no longer has the warmth that a home should have. Seeing that they were depressed, the elders and sisters next to them couldn't help laughing again, and the two of them were even more distressed.

"In any case, in this township test, I hope everyone can get a good ranking as they wish. As for next year, Grandmother wants you all to be on the gold list! Old Madam Chu said.

Chu Jingming: "Okay, grandmother." ”

Chu Jingyang: "Yes, grandmother!" ”

Old Madam Chu looked at Chu Jingyan again and asked, "What about you?" ”

Chu Jingyan didn't expect the old lady to count herself, and she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. In addition to palpitations, he raised his lips and smiled, obviously with an indifferent and tasteless expression, but he said the words with a shocking jaw drop: "I will, I will take the capital Xie Yuan!" ”

……

The day before the exam, Chu Jiayin and Chu Jiazhen were practicing that beautiful swordsmanship, and Chu Jingyan, Chu Jingyang, and Chu Jingming were studying in the study.

I don't know if it was the joke at the dinner table that day that stimulated these two gentlemen, and now they are learning, one is more desperate than the other. But it may also be temporary, worrying about losing face. 、

If you really have the heart to work hard, you should be hanging on weekdays, how can you start working hard more than a month before the exam?

At night, Chu Jiayin was reading at Chu Jingyan's time, and fell asleep after a while. She hasn't reaped the benefits of martial arts practice so far, but the more she sleeps, the more fragrant she becomes.

Chu Jingyan had already finished reading all the texts she had set for herself today, and turned her head to see Chu Jiayin sleeping with her arms on the pillow opposite, and hurriedly poked her face.

As soon as the person woke up, Chu Jingyan said: "If you are too tired to practice martial arts during the day, you don't need to study literature at night." Since ancient times, there have been very few people who are both civil and military, so why do you force yourself like this? ”

Chu Jingyan himself wants to be both civil and military, but he does not force others, in his opinion, the most important thing for people to live in the world is to live happily. Chu Jiayin has been carrying a golden soup spoon in his mouth since he was born, and if he wants to go to the next level, he is afraid that it will be difficult and difficult.

I can't force it, it's better to be content with the status quo, and save myself from being tired and still working in vain.

Chu Jiayin yawned, looked at the person opposite with hazy eyes, and said in a vague voice, "Well, okay." ”

The sound was gone, and the man fell asleep again.

Chu Jingyan put the book back on the shelf, and when he looked back, he couldn't help but feel funny when he saw the kitten-like girl nestled on the desk and couldn't sleep. He bent down and picked Chu Jiayin up, planning to send her back to the house to sleep.

"Second brother, I believe in you." Chu Jiayin muttered in Chu Jingyan's arms.

"Trust me what?" Chu Jingyan listened to the footsteps and wanted to let her go after knowing the answer to this question.

Chu Jiayin was half-asleep and half-awake, and with only a little residual consciousness, he told him: "I believe that you will definitely be able to pass the exam." ”

"Hmm."

Early in the morning, the maids and the maids began to pack the luggage for the three sons who were going to the examination room. The entire Chu Mansion was in a hurry, and the two sons of the lineage, walking around the courtyard, panicked as if they were about to go to the execution ground.

Compared with these two, Chu Jingyan was much calmer. Although he has only taken a few exams, because he has passed every time, he does not have as much experience as others, but in fact, his heart is as stable as an old dog, he has a deep grasp, and he is also familiar with the exam papers.

"Second brother, you have to bless us to pass the exam, even at the end of the list!" Chu Jingyang really had no recruitment, so he had to go to the doctor indiscriminately, and worship Chu Jingyan, who was sitting upright and not messy, as a bodhisattva.

Chu Jingming was probably also panicked, and in the end, he was chaotic and accompanied the fifth brother to worship the second brother!

When several ladies came over, they were all stupefied by this scene.

"What are you doing here?" The second lady asked.

Chu Jingyang is an honest child, and he must answer any questions: "The second brother is the first class every time, and there should be hope that he will be in the top three, let's come to worship and get some luck." ”

Old Madam Chu lifted her crutches, gave a stick to each of the two people's buttocks, and scolded: "No interest!" Did your second brother rely on luck in the first armor? If you don't work hard, it's useless to burn incense and worship Buddha now. ”

"Oh, grandmother, when you say that, I'm even more anxious!" Chu Jingming said.

"It's right to be in a hurry, with the lesson of this time, you will learn well next time."

Chu Jingyang made a bitter face and said, "Is there a next time?" ”

"Of course there will be a next time if you can't pass the exam, the man will achieve nothing, is it possible that you want to be a moth at home?" Old Madam Chu asked.

It was dawn, and Chu Jiayin just got up.

The carriage that sent the three sons out had already left.

Chu Jiayin opened her eyes in a daze, thinking that Feng Chenyue should come over to urge her to exercise after a while, so she lay still and waited for someone to come and urge. Who knew that after waiting for a long time, she had slept to her heart's content, and Feng Chenyue still didn't come.

"Peach Blossom!" Chu Jiayin seemed to have forgotten something, sat up suddenly, and let out an exclamation.

Peach Blossom hurriedly came into the house and asked, "Girl, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Is there something big going on today?" Chu Jiayin asked, and after a while, she suddenly thought of it herself.

"What time is it, what time is it, are they gone, second brother?" I'm going to send a few brothers to the exam today.
