Chapter 45, the three rooms that can't afford to lose

However, Shen Mingze didn't need to stay in the mansion safely, he went to find Zhong Jinxiu.

Zhong Jinxiu had just returned to Zhong's house at this moment and reported the results of this scientific examination with the old lady.

"Grandmother, the third brother ranks thirty-two, and his achievements are outstanding, which is a great joy for my Zhong family."

The old lady asked, "How are your fourth and fifth brothers?" ”

Zhong Jinxiu shook her head, very regretful.

Zhong Jinxin said: "Grandmother, we didn't see the names of the fourth brother and the fifth brother on the list. ”

"Your fourth brother and fifth brother are usually very diligent, why did you make a mistake this time?" The old lady is inexplicable, why?

Naturally, it was because the fourth young master and the fifth young master of the Zhong family were proud and complacent, and they were self-righteous.

Zhong Jinxiu said: "The fourth brother and the fifth brother are still young, and the exam is held once every three years, and this year is also used to the examination room, and if you work hard in the coming year, you will definitely be able to win it in one fell swoop." ”

Next year? They have to have that opportunity, too.

Although the old lady was unhappy in her heart, fortunately, there was one person in the Zhong family who could win.

However, the third lady, who went to see the results, soon came back and led the two sons who were in decline.

Come in and say hello to the old lady.

The old lady looked at Zhong Hao and Zhong Chen's eyes, very dissatisfied.

"Since you didn't pass the exam, then read at home with peace of mind, you are young, there is always a chance. Fortunately, your third brother has made a good start for you this time. ”

Zhong Hao couldn't help but say: "Third brother, he is plagiarizing, if it is known, His Majesty will definitely punish him severely." ”

He lost to a concubine, and he was resentful.

Especially when he knew that he was admitted because he bought the test papers, he was not willing to study hard for more than ten years, and he was unwilling to sprint his brain, so he asked such questions.

However, Zhong Jinxiu knows that her fourth brother seems to have a kind temper, but she is extremely strong, and she can't afford to lose today's move.

was held too high by the third lady.

The third lady has always felt that the eldest young master and the second young master of the Zhong family are martial artists, and the third young master is a concubine, and sooner or later the Zhong family will be their third room.

But he never thought that this time he would be won by the third young master of the Zhong family.

She was very unwilling in her heart.

It's all because of her, Zhong Jinxiu.

What kind of exam papers did she give for nothing?

"Jinxiu, you said that if the exam paper you gave back then was found out, wouldn't it hurt your third brother?"

Zhong Jinxiu knew that the third lady was shameless, but he didn't expect the third lady to be so shameless.

Her own son couldn't pass the test, but other sons' got in, so she was trying to make trouble.

And it is ridiculous to put all the blame on her.

The second lady remembered that he had passed the exam because of plagiarism, and her bad thoughts rose.

"Mother, let's report it now, if we are found in the temple test, then we will be finished."

She glanced at Zhong Jinxiu and scolded angrily, "It's all you, you troublemaker, do you want to kill our whole family?" ”

"Mother, if the emperor blames, let's send the splendid confession, and the emperor will definitely forgive us for the sake of admitting our mistakes, after all, those who don't know are not guilty."

Zhong Jinxiu was sarcastic in her heart, these two people have the same interests, and they can reach an agreement without words in advance.

But the interests of the old lady and these two are not the same.

Zhong Jinxiu said: "Okay, I'll go into the palace and explain the situation to Your Majesty, if you think this is the best ending plan." ”

"Of course you have to explain, it's all your fault." Xiao Yang felt that he had gotten rid of two calamities at once, and he was overjoyed.

Zhong Jinxiu was originally a stumbling block for her daughter, and Zhong Liang? has always been a scourge in my own heart, and it is disgusting to see her exist.

Now that the Holy God knows about plagiarism, he is definitely going to prison, and if he makes some money, he can still come out well.

Even if you come out and go to prison, your whole life will be ruined.

The third lady now also feels that if Zhong Jinxiu is punished by the saint, then the big house will have such a stain.

As for Zhong Liang, he was also ruined for the rest of his life.

In the end, only the three rooms were clean.

Zhong Jinxin has a thorough understanding of the second and third rooms, and of course he also steals the old lady's thoughts.

Zhong Jinxin said: "Grandmother, the fourth brother and the fifth brother don't have the ability to pass the exam, which has made the family lose face, and now our family has finally won one, and the second aunt and the third aunt are ..... I don't know, what the second aunt and the third aunt think in their hearts, let the third brother admit it himself, and take our eldest lady, I'm afraid this kind of bad trick can only be thought of by our second aunt and third aunt. ”

"I don't know if my son didn't pass the exam, and the third aunt became jealous, so I want our Zhongfu to become the laughing stock of the whole capital."

"Jinxin, how can the third aunt be jealous, this matter was originally done by Jinxiu wrong, what test papers to send if you have nothing to do, isn't this leaving a handle for nothing?"

Zhong Jinxin said: "Then this matter has not reached the point of Jinluan Palace. You are making a fuss here, can the third uncle know? Can the second uncle agree? ”

"The second uncle and the third uncle have already closed down, and now the third brother has won, maybe it is the hope of our family, but the fourth brother and the fifth brother have not been hit, and you don't shy away from suspicion."

She finally had a chance to disgust Sanfang, so that they had nothing to provoke her mother, hmph, I won't let you have a good time.

"Fourth brother and fifth brother, you didn't win, you should have been hiding at home to reflect recently, so as to prepare for the coming year, how can you instigate your mother to come here to make trouble, even if you can't afford to lose, you can't show it so obviously, for fear that others won't know that you didn't win."

Zhong Hao Zhongchen's face was full of redness when he was said, and finally burst out with a sentence: Only women and villains are difficult to raise.

Zhong Jinxin was extremely aggrieved, and said: "Grandmother, look at the fourth brother and the fifth brother, if you don't pass the exam, you won't be allowed to say it, but women and villains are secretly difficult to raise?" Isn't this scolding you, grandmother? ”

"You.... We didn't mean that, we were just saying..."They looked at their mother discouragedly, and the third lady saw that her son was slandered, and glared at Zhong Jinxin and said: "The third girl is very sharp-toothed, you are raised by the old lady's side, so unruly, not afraid of losing the face of the old lady?" ”

Zhong Jinxiu said with a smile: "No wonder you are unwilling to send your fourth sister and fifth sister to the old lady to raise, it turns out that you are worried that the girl educated by the old lady will lose your face." ”

"You're talking nonsense."

Zhong Jinxiu shrugged and said, "Third aunt, you said it." ”

The second lady glared at the third lady and said, "Miss, we were talking about asking you to go and ask for guilt, you are beating around the bush, whether to go or not." ”

Zhong Jinxiu said: "Go, of course I want to go." How can I not want to be in the limelight in front of the emperor? ”

"Showy? Hmph, I don't think the eldest lady recognizes it clearly, you are pleading, and maybe you will be beaten by the board when the time comes, which will bring shame to our Zhong family. ”

Zhong Jinxiu smiled and said, "In that case, the second aunt still asked me to confess?" This is can't wait to make our Zhongfu a laughing stock in the capital. ”

"Hmph, you don't know what to do, and now confessing in advance can minimize the damage. If someone catches the handle, the Holy One is questioning my Zhong Mansion, and it will be even more serious. ”

Zhong Jinxiu smiled and said: "That's what I said, if I ask about the crime, the saint will only ask me for the crime, so naturally I won't embarrass the second and third aunts." ”

That's the reason.

Zhong Liang was originally a person with no sense of existence, but now that he was pushed out by everyone, he was powerless to argue for himself.

And the second lady saw that the eldest lady was willing, so she instigated the old lady to solve it as soon as possible.

Zhong Jinxiu looked at them with a smile, laughing at them that they didn't know something.

The old lady is also weighing the pros and cons of this matter in her heart.

It's just that the more I think about it, the more I feel that something is wrong.

She asked, "Jinxiu, where did you get this test question from?" ”

Zhong Jinxiu said: "Grandmother, I was afraid that the third brother and the fourth brother and the fifth brother would not want it, so I lied that I bought it from outside, but in fact, I wrote it myself. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about? You're a... That's a holy question, and there are not many candidates in the whole exam, how can you write such a thing? ”

"If you lie, you have to make us believe it."

"I know that the second aunt and the third aunt won't believe it, so I lied that it was written by someone else, if the third aunt and the second aunt don't believe it, you can compare the handwriting of those current affairs to see if it is similar to me?"

"You can also go and ask, is the maid in my yard written by me?"

is full of confidence like that, the third lady is in a trance, when did these three girls become so smart, did she actually expect that someone would check?

Impossible.

She didn't have any schemes.

Who gave her the idea, at that time, it was said that the discussion was similar to Shen Mingze's discussion, could it be Shen Mingze?

If it was Shen Mingze, it would make sense.

And the old lady listened to the crowd, and her heart was overjoyed, if this thing was written by a big girl, then the meaning would not be ordinary.

If the emperor inquired, they said that the exam questions guessed by the master at home were taught to the students at home, and the emperor was powerless to refute them.

You must know that there are few masters for that candidate, and those masters have not guessed the exam questions, but their family has guessed correctly.

The second lady said: "Mother, this test question is definitely not written by the third girl, you know that she is grass... How is it possible to write such a subtle exam question that even the Holy One praises? Mother, don't let her deceive you. ”

The old lady ordered someone to bring the test paper she wrote, and the fourth young master and the fifth young master brought it with him, so he presented it.

The old lady took a look at it and said with a smile: "It is indeed the word of the big girl." ”

The old lady used to worry that others would say that she didn't educate the three girls, which would cause trouble. Therefore, her handwriting education is excellent, and no one can see that she is a straw bag who does not learn and has no skills.

The third lady was also anxious.

"Mother, even if it is her handwriting, it must have been copied by her, and it must not be written by her."

The old lady hated what she had just said, so she did not answer her.

Zhong Jinxiu smiled and said, "If the third aunt doesn't believe it, you can choose one of them to test me." ”

At this moment, her aunt settled Zhong Huai and rushed over, and when she heard what they said, she said as she walked in: "Mother, I can testify that this is written by Jinxiu." And the daughter-in-law did not agree with what the second brother and sister said. ”

"The third young master won the victory, which was originally a great joy for Zhong Fu, but how could it be a sin in the mouth of the second brother and sister. Although the third young master is a concubine, he is also the heir of our Zhong family, how much of a crime plagiarism is for juniors to know, can we be elders know? She can't re-enter the government for the rest of her life, and maybe she will go to prison, as her elder, how can she sound that it means that she wishes we would go to prison? ”
