"Cousin of the Zhu family?" Aunt Liu frowned and thought for a while, before she suddenly said, "It's your grandmother's hometown who came down to fight the autumn breeze, I heard your father say that he didn't dare to take the exam in Ruyang County, and together with his relatives, he asked your father to move his household registration to the suburbs of Beijing to take the exam." ”

Aunt Liu sneered, "Don't get too close to this kind of opportunistic villain." ”

Cheng Mingqi shook his head, "I have studied with my cousin of the Zhu family, and his schoolwork is solid, although he is not good at words, but he is extremely down-to-earth and practical in practice, not such opportunistic and frivolous people." ”

"If he is a down-to-earth person, he should obediently take the exam in Ruyang County."

Cheng Mingqi was silent, he didn't agree with Zhu Yan's practice of changing his household registration to the capital, but he felt that he shouldn't be this kind of person, and there should be other hidden feelings in this matter.

"My son, you are still young, no matter how talented you are, you still need to hone for several years to become a great weapon, I am afraid that these gentlemen in the clan will not be able to teach you too much," Aunt Liu looked down on the Zhu family in her heart, and did not want to talk more with Cheng Mingqi, so she lowered her voice and said, "I have discussed with your father, if you fail this autumn exam, I will send you to Guozijian to study." ”

Aunt Liu's face showed a smug joy, most of the people who studied in the Guozijian were the sons and daughters of the official eunuchs and nobles, except for a few who had no concubines in the family, and those who were raised as concubines could enter the Guozijian to study, almost no family would send the concubines to the Guozijian.

Cheng Ping was able to respond to this non-dividing request, which shows her preference for Aunt Liu's mother and son, she felt that she was pressing Mrs. Cheng Cheng in this matter, and she was proud in her heart, and she was busy showing her credit to Cheng Ming.

Cheng Mingqi was a little surprised, the rules in the Guozi Prison are strict, and the students in it have to have a big competition every year, last year's big competition, even Emperor Longqing was there to watch it in person, I don't know how many people want to enter the Guozi Prison, in order to get a chance to show their faces in front of Emperor Longqing.

According to the rules, the children of the Chengenhou Mansion can be shaded to study in the Guozijian, but the Cheng family is still self-aware, knowing that they are not the material for reading, since the second brother Cheng Mingzhi, the brothers in the mansion would rather go to a foreign academy than enter the Guozijian, and only Cheng Xuan, the concubine, is studying in the Guozijian Women's School.

Cheng Mingqi did not reject Guozijian, and he also knew that the teaching assistants and direct lectures in Guozijian were all from Jinshi, and many of the doctors were from the Hanlin Academy, and the level was not much higher than that of ethnology, but as a scholar, he still wanted to go to Hongshan Academy to give it a try.

Aunt Liu saw that Cheng Mingqi had no joy on her face, and hurriedly said, "Aunt knows that you want to leave the capital and go outside, but after all, you are young, and Aunt Liu is really not at ease, not to mention that those academies outside are uneven, but Guozijian is all children of the big family, and you and their classmates will also benefit you to enter the government in the future." ”

"Auntie is just one of your children, and she can even give you her life, how can she not plan for you everywhere?" Aunt Liu shed tears sadly, "You don't want to live up to your aunt's hard work......"

"Auntie, I know that you are all for my good, but you don't have to make your own decisions in the future." Cheng Mingqi's face was pale, but when he saw Aunt Liu's tears, his voice softened, he was not unwilling to go to the Guozijian, but he was unwilling to be arranged by someone without saying a word, and he was coerced to move forward.

This is his life, not his aunt's, even if he knows that Aunt Liu has arranged a smooth path for him, he is not willing to accept it calmly.

But looking at the weak and helpless aunt in front of him, knowing that he was her only support in the house, he still couldn't harden his heart after all.

"Auntie knows, only this once." Aunt Liu knew that Cheng Mingqi had acquiesced, and she was immediately overjoyed, although she promised so much, she didn't take it seriously in her heart.

In her eyes, Cheng Mingqi is still a child, how can she think it through, what she arranged for him is the most suitable path for him in the world.

The swingers of the Cheng family are unwilling to stay in the well-behaved Guozijian, but Cheng Mingqi is more suitable for the Guozijian than anyone else.

If Cheng Mingqi got the blue eyes of those gentlemen, and had the help of his classmates, he would not pass the exam today, and it would not be a big deal to get fame one or two years later, even if the champion of the Wen family was also the champion of the fifteenth talent, Aunt Liu felt that she had thought about her son's advance and retreat clearly, and she was more and more proud.

Cheng Mingqi originally wanted to say something to Aunt Liu, but seeing Aunt Liu's happy appearance, he couldn't say a word about what he wanted to say.

After he silently sent Aunt Liu back to rest, he stood in front of Aunt Liu's courtyard gate and was stunned for a quarter of an hour before he sighed without a trace and walked outside.

At this time, Cheng Jin's courtyard was also very unpeaceful, Cheng Zhan twisted Cheng Jin's ears, and her pungent appearance was not at all like the dignified and stable eldest daughter outside.

"Eldest sister, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts-" Cheng Jin was screwed by her and screamed.

"Can you remember it for a long time if it doesn't hurt?" Although Cheng Chan was scolding, his eyes were already red, "Why are you so ignorant?" Is it deliberately trying to anger me and A-Niang? ”

"Eldest sister, let's just go and see the excitement." Cheng Jin begged for mercy again and again, she was born with divine power, but Cheng Qian was born soft and weak, but the strength in her hands was not inferior to her at all, and she didn't see how strong her hands were, but her ears were twisted by her so painful.

Cheng Zhan was angry, looking at Cheng Jin's red ears, he felt distressed again, and the tears that couldn't fall in his eyes finally fell.

This night, she was really tossed and couldn't do it, first Cheng Jin and the three of them lost their traces, and then their father returned home with Aunt Liu, and her mother fainted, and then she heard that Cheng Jin and they were detained in the yamen, Mrs. Cheng finally brought the three of them back, but she fell ill, and all the piles made her worried and frightened, and the sixteen-year-old girl just relied on a breath to hold on to not let herself collapse, and now it has finally stopped, and she can't hold it anymore.

"Hey, eldest sister, don't cry......" Cheng Jin hurriedly handed the handkerchief and served tea, "Eldest sister, you are such a fairy-like character, even crying is extremely beautiful, it just makes people feel distressed......"

"You talk nonsense...... Cheng Chan wiped his tears and said angrily, "If A-Niang is angry with you, be careful of your skin!" ”

Cheng Jin thought thoughtfully, "Eldest sister, how long has A-Niang been ill?" ”

Cheng Zhan took the handkerchief and wiped away his tears carefully, "It's been more than a year, you have read medical books, but what clues do you see?" ”
