Master Chu San stood in front of Young Master Chu very depressed, and the manuscripts of his three articles were also presented to Young Master Chu. Young Master Chu saw it and comforted him with kind words: "It is a lot better than the first, and the fame also has a destiny, so you don't have to worry." ”

Scientific examiners are different, some examiners like the article is sophisticated, some examiners like the article thin and hard, and some are plump. As soon as Young Master Chu heard that the examiner had decided, he understood that as long as the son of this subject didn't think about that in his heart...... That one...... That one and that one are distracted, but Chu Huaixian is fine.

After reading the manuscript of the article after Chu Huaixian came back, Young Master Chu would immediately be gracious and make a gesture for Chu Huaixian to "go by himself". The third master's article has always been inferior to Chu Huaixian, and his intelligence is not as good as Chu Huaixian's, Young Master Chu has read the draft of the third brother's article, so he can only comfort him first and let him be prepared.

Chu Shaofu, who has been an official for many years, has been an examiner for many times and has countless protégés; He has also promoted countless officials. He has a good idea of the officials in and outside Beijing, from their character and temperament to their reasoning. Young Master Chu comforted him like this, Master Chu San seemed to have been sentenced to death, this death penalty is still the kind of beheading after the autumn, the torment before the opening of the list, when Master Chu San thought about it, his heart trembled.

After shuddering, Chu Huaixian came in. Master Chu San asked the eldest brother again without giving up, and his voice trembled: "What about Huaixian?" Young Master Chu glanced at Chu Huaixian expressionlessly, and didn't say a word.

Wei didn't say a word, the third master of Chu was like a mirror, and he said with a shudder: "Congratulations to the eldest brother, congratulations to Huaixian." Young Master Chu snorted and said with a dark face: "Hit the hundreds, and if you are on that list, you can be regarded as medium." Hum! Outrageous! Chu Huaixian lowered his head and didn't speak, thinking about the poetry and rhyme of his article again, thinking about it and relieved, he had done his best, and everything was left to heaven.

"The second lord asked the lord to take the third lord and the son out, and His Royal Highness King Liang has arrived." The little guys replied, and Young Master Chu got up and dressed up, and took his son to meet people.

The men were outside, the women were inside, and the second lady of Chu was busy, so she found a space where the third lady of Chu was alone, and congratulated her with a smile on her face: "Congratulations to the third brother and sister, the third brother must be the top in high school." It was alone, and Mrs. Chu was not polite, and sneered: "The second sister-in-law is really concerned, since I knew that the third master was going to go to the field, you said so last year." It's just that the third master is afraid that he doesn't have the ability to be the leader of high school. ”

"Look at the words of the third brother and sister, if my mother hears it, she must say that she doesn't like it." Second Mrs. Chu was still diligent and happy, and her heart was soaked in a vat of nameless vinegar. The second master is not hit, the third master is going to be hit, even if she sits on the tail, the second lady Chu will not be comfortable. She always thinks about whether the third master will win, and always worries about whether the third master will win, and saying such things at this time is the style of the second lady of Chu.

Since Xiao Chu entered the door, Mrs. Chu San felt that she had really seen through everyone in her family. The second lady of Chu was mean to Xiaochu, and she remembered all the things she had when she first entered the house. At this time, the second lady of Chu was afraid that the third old man's heart would be clear at a glance, and the third lady of Chu could not bear it, so she smiled at the second lady's face and then said coldly: "Act for others, think long-term." Before entering the field, I persuaded the third master, what are you afraid of in three years, you will not be in the current department, and there will be a lower department. ”

Second Mrs. Chu's face couldn't hold back, her cheeks trembled a few times, and she couldn't help but reply: "If you sit on the bench every year, people will listen to you and say that you are not virtuous." ”

Not virtuous? Third Lady Chu sneered a few times and turned away. It's really strange, even if the husband doesn't get into the field, it can be regarded as maintaining the reputation of the ancestors, at least it's better than the second master who doesn't get in the first subject. When the husband goes to the field, does the family still have to be mean to be a wife? The third lady of Chu, who brushed her sleeves away, made up her mind to have a good theory with the third master in the evening.

I don't dare to go to bed early for your night reading, but remember how many times to add clothes a night? Don't dare to slack off when you read at night, afraid of hot tea in summer, afraid of cold tea in winter, have you ever remembered? Don't dare to offend you for reading at night, I like to serve in front of my aunt, Mrs. Chu San was furious in her heart, and I endured it.

Angrily rushed back to Old Madam Chu's side, and listened to Old Madam Chu and Princess Liang talk slowly: "Gentlemen have said since childhood that Huai Xian is talented, and I don't think of this talent, but at least he follows his grandfather, and he is the tallest in the autumn." Princess Liang came to be a guest, and of course said with a smile: "Lord Liang must come to see the draft of the article in person, I said what is in a hurry, and it is not too late to congratulate you when the list is released." He said that we have always been good friends, and of course Daoxi should be in front. Princess Liang laughed: "That's why we're here, this is happy, it's going to be on the road twice." ”

These words are too festive, Mrs. Chu smiled, and Mrs. Chu also said a few words: "He is young, he Lao Tzu said, if he is not in power, he should sharpen him." ”

The auspicious words in the room somewhat diluted Mrs. Chu's anger and calmed her down. The entrance to this house is eccentric, looking left and right, everyone only has a son in their eyes, and there is no position for the third master.

Mrs. Chu San was discouraged, and the third master was in the middle again, and the family would treat him normally, and there would be no change.

King Liang didn't know what his evaluation was after reading the draft of Chu Huaixian's article, but only the word came from the front: "The old man left His Royal Highness King Liang to eat, and asked the old lady and his wife to accompany the princess." ”

It was nearly noon, and of course Mrs. Chu San was half a handyman. The old lady Chu and Mrs. Chu sat on the ground to accompany the guests, and the second lady and the third lady passed the dishes back and forth to take care of them.

went out again, and the girl said, "The third master is here." The third lady ran three or four times, stopped to wipe her forehead with a handkerchief and sweated, and watched the third old man approach, his forehead was shiny and sweaty. The third master didn't realize it yet, so he teased the corner of his robe with one hand and said to the third lady with the other: "Big brother said, take out those two jars of rare wine." ”

This one is also the usual messenger at home, and he said that the third master is going back. Mrs. Chu San called out to him and went under the tree together. handed the handkerchief to the third master, and then asked: "You can keep the bottom of your article, you can give it to the eldest brother to read, has the eldest brother read it?" And how to say it. ”

The third master was uncomfortable with this, and lowered his face and said, "What is the woman asking for this!" When Mrs. Chu San thought of Mrs. Chu, she came up angrily and said, "I care about you!" And the second sister-in-law, who also cares about you! The third master was silent, and then said in a rough voice: "If there is one, it's okay!" ”

"Is that you?" Mrs. Chu San was shocked and couldn't believe it.

This unbelievable look made Master Chu San even more angry, and he said in a thick voice: "It's Huaixian!" ”

"How do you know it's him? It's not that the list hasn't been released. "Mrs. Chu only hates her husband, this sentence really doesn't grow. Master Chu San was forced, and finally said hatefully: "The eldest brother didn't say anything after reading it, His Royal Highness King Liang came down to see it, just smiled, and asked for wine to eat." ”

Mrs. Chu said strangely: "Your Royal Highness is here to be happy, and you have always been kind and don't avoid the traces, can't people who are happy ask for wine to eat?" "Master Chu San was forced by his wife step by step, and his face turned pale. Mrs. Chu San persecuted for Mrs. Chu inside, and did not let him go: "Big brother didn't say anything, do you think Huaixian will be in the middle of the meeting?" You don't grow up, big brother dares to say something to you! ”

"The eldest brother told me that there are many benefits to being more advanced than the advanced, and besides, fame has a fate." Master Chu San was helpless and said the original words of Young Master Chu. Mrs. Chu San opened her eyes and couldn't understand, and suddenly smiled and comforted the third master and herself: "It's better than the first, isn't this a good thing?" Fame has a fate, that's of course. You don't believe in gods and Buddhas, and you have always slandered the scriptures and slandered the Tao, so burn a few incense sticks with my devotion at night. The third master of Chu stomped his feet and scolded: "Ignorant woman! Then he turned around and went away.

Mrs. Chu San, who was in the back, understood, and she only understood one thing: "You, your test question, must not have been given to Huaixian." Master Chu San couldn't help but turn around and said, "Does he still want this!" ”

When the test papers were put down in the examination room, Master Chu San was dumbfounded, and the three test questions cost a lot of silver to get them, but none of them were right. That damn Qiu Fat Man deceived the third master again. Maybe that Qiu Fat Man doesn't understand that this test question is not true.

Before the list was released, the Chu family began to put out wine. Because there was no list, the banquet no longer frequently said goodbye, and the gossip dispersed in the afternoon. The second master of Chu was tired of wine and tired, so he went to the room to change his clothes.

When I entered the door, I heard the voice of Second Lady Chu who was not idle: "Does the third master like it or not?" The third lady didn't like it. Second Master Chu had a headache, and he was even less energetic when he sat down: "What are you tossing again?" ”

"In your opinion, the third brother is still in this subject or not?" The second lady's spirit is better than usual, her eyes are brighter than usual, and her voice is suppressed, which is also higher than usual. The second old man squinted at her: "What about the middle?" What if you don't hit? ”

said something wrong to the second master of Chu, and the second master of Chu just wanted to hit him with a big-eared scraper.

The second lady also squinted at the second master, and couldn't see that he was going to be angry. The second lady said: "You stay, don't be irritable!" I'll learn from you what my third brother and sister said. ”

The second master of Chu, who endured it, listened to the words of the second lady of Chu: "The third brother and sister said, the third master is young, and there is still a lower department in this department. In fact, it's right, there is a saying called hitting the dragon gate, hitting one time is not good, hitting the head office a hundred times. ”

Second Master Chu had a gloomy face, and when he stood up, he didn't change out of his clothes.

"You've made a face to me, and if you have the ability, you'll hit it again." Second Mrs. Chu waited for the second master to go out, looked at him and couldn't hear it, and muttered in the room: "You are only in your forties, who is that, you are still rushing to take the exam at the age of seventy,"

The moonlight floating curtains, Chu Huaixian was honestly waiting for his father until the evening today without distraction. At this time, walking on the way back to the room, Chu Huaixian relaxed. He didn't expect that he would be hit, but his father didn't say anything bad after reading the manuscript of the article, for the eldest prince of Chu, he passed this level first at home.

Yuzhao and Xiangsheng oil-haired noodles came to greet him: "Childe." The eldest prince of Chu stood still under the moonlight, with a gentle smile on his face: "You don't have to come to bed early in the future." Having said that, he staggered up the steps, and Xia Lu opened the door. Chu Huaixian walked in, and the door closed gently behind him.

In the moonlight, the two girls looked at each other again. Childe is gentle and gentle, but he doesn't let him get close, what can he do?
