On the day the list was released, most of the Su family went to see the unveiling of the list, and it was rare that Su Huiyao went out and came with her.

The streets were crowded with people, and most of them were silent, for fear that their family would not do well in the exam.

Su Yao squeezed from the back to the front, and his own little servants couldn't keep up.

"It's not spring yet, why is it so hot!" As soon as Su Huiyao went out, she complained again and again, holding a handkerchief to cover the sun, for fear that she would be tanned.

Su Yunyao and Su Moyao got down from the carriage hand in hand, and a group of people crowded into the crowd, for fear that they would not be able to see the words on the list.

A man next to him, not too old, looks dark-skinned, like a countryman, only followed by a small guy, seeing that the list said that he won the tribute, he was so excited that he immediately fainted on the ground, the little guy was too happy to notice it before, and then someone reminded him to see it, and even took the man away with a mop.

Fortunately, the two brothers of the Su family have good grades, Su Yingan didn't do well in the exam before, but this time he did well, and the students who won the list, that is, Xiucai, although the results are not too ideal, they are always on the list.

Su Yingkuan's article is doing well, he works hard, this time he vaguely feels that he can do it, the emperor lives up to his wishes, and he is really on the list.

The name of Su Yingkuan in the lifting person was impressive, he saw it and thought it was a mistake, his eyes were staring straight at it, he forgot to breathe, or Su Jinyao shouted, "Sixth brother, you have been lifted!" ”

Hearing this, Su Yingkuan reacted, and the corners of his mouth instantly grinned, Su Yao was also very pleased, but there were many people outside, and he had to make a calm appearance, so he just smiled faintly, and actually had a happy heart.

It was Su Yingchen, who was troubled by the family before, so his grades were not good and he was not on the list.

Su Yunyao looked lonely at him, and naturally understood why he was doing, so she leaned over and whispered, "Brother Starling, don't worry about it, you are still young, and you will have a chance in the future!" ”

Su Yingchen smiled reluctantly and did not speak.

On the contrary, Su Huiyao on the side, seeing that there was no name of her eighth brother on several lists, she was angry and kicked Su Yingchen fiercely.

I thought that if the eighth brother came back with a good score in the exam, she would beg her father with pear blossoms and rain, maybe her mother would be released, but now how can she beg for it? Angry, she twisted her face to the carriage, afraid that she would make the sisters next to her laugh outside.

Su Yingkuan was lifted, and some people commented on him at this time, saying that he was talented and talented, and the implication was that he wanted to have more contact with him.

Frightened, Su Yao went back to the carriage as if someone was going to rob him of his treasure.

Su Yunyao and the others were still standing in place and didn't leave, they saw that Lu Yuanyi's name was still on the list.

As soon as she thought of Lu Yuanyi, Su Moyao's heart lit up with a fire.

Later, the carriage of the Bai family also arrived, and the two brothers, Bai Chuheng and Bai Chusui, got out of the carriage and asked the little maid to inquire from a distance, and after a while, the little guy came back with good news.

"Hit the childe, hit!" The little guy said happily, "The second son has won a lift, the eldest son will work hard, and there will be a chance in the future!" ”

Bai Chuheng smiled indifferently, "It's okay, I'm just a companion, the second brother will do well in the exam, and I'm used to being an idler." ”

Bai Chusui followed his brother's words and said, "Hey, hey, don't say that, in the future, this Dingguo Mansion will fall on your head, how can you be an idle person?" As he spoke, he leaned his head closer and said, "Don't think I don't know, you didn't answer seriously during the exam, and you can fool others, I'm your brother, who in this world has me who understands you?" ”

Bai Chuheng saw that he was pierced, and he smiled even more happily.

He really didn't want to be a civil official, and in his opinion, he was still comfortable on horseback.

"Who are the winners of this year's list?" Bai Chuheng asked inadvertently.

"That's a lot! Lu Gongzi is in it, Changjun Wangfu Xiao Dagongzi is in it, he was in the last time he was a lifter, and this time he is a Jinshi, and the future is limitless! There are also Mu Yunfan and Mu Yunzhou of the Prime Minister's Mansion who are also on the list, and Shao Rui's son of the Ministry of Shangshu has been selected, by the way, there is a son of the Su family who has also been selected. ”

"The Su family?" Bai Chuheng asked, "Which son of the Su family?" ”

"The slave looks like his name is Su Yingkuan, he is the concubine of the Su family."

Bai Chuheng sighed, didn't say anything, and got into the carriage with his younger brother.

Back at Su's house, Su Hui and Fang Li also came, and put them on the table, just to celebrate Su Yingkuan and Su Ying'an.

Su Yao is a person who pretends to be low-key on his face, and now that the two children of his Su family have won the list, it is a gratifying and congratulatory thing, if it is placed in someone else's house, it will have jumped into the sky a long time ago.

But the more times like this, the more the Su family has to make a feeling of pampering and not being shocked.

Su Yingchen was not successful this time, but Su Yao was not angry, but persuaded him that there are very few people on the list for the first time, and it is common for him to be on the list after a few exams, so let him not be discouraged, just continue to work hard next time.

At the banquet, Su Huiyao sneered when she heard this, and scolded in a low voice, "If this eighth brother is more angry, his mother will come back at this time, and it will be Kang Jinglan's turn to be proud?" ”

When Su Yingchen returned to Cangbai Pavilion, he was stopped by Su Huiyao.

"Seventh Sister."

"Don't call me sister!" Su Huiyao glared at him, "Don't you know who gave birth to you?" You were born to our mother, so you should save her from Zhuangzi! Who told you to deliberately fail to do well? The harmful mother still has to suffer in Zhuangzi, and I have to be blinded by others, why are you so useless? Seeing that you are with the sixth brother and them all day long, your mind is all biased towards Liuyunzhai and Qinzhuxuan, and you can't tell the distance from the close! ”

Su Yingchen sighed, "What Sister Seventh said is that it was my fault that I didn't do well in the exam this time." ”

"What do you say when you know it's wrong? If you let our mother know that her son doesn't want to save her, and I don't know how to chill it, you should hurry up and beg my father to go! Saying that, Su Huiyao moved her hand and pushed Su Yingchen hard, wanting him to go to Yu Hongyuan to beg Su Yao.

"Seventh Sister is not right, my mother made a mistake and should be punished, why did she save her?"

"You!" Su Huiyao is really going to be driven crazy by this younger brother, "What is a mistake?" Are you a son who says your mother did something wrong? You unfilial thing! If Xiao Qi didn't have a third sister in his heart, how could he agree to let her enter the door of the Xiao family? Mother is just adding fuel to the fire, why do you say that she did something wrong? Do you still have a conscience? ”

Su Yingchen was more helpless.

"Seventh sister, don't be stupid and don't know anything when I'm in Cangbai Pavilion, what the third brother-in-law and the third sister do is so unclean, how can it become a good thing for the glory of the ancestors in your mouth? If there is really a third sister in my heart, then I should try to make her the eldest lady despite public opinion, why did you raise her to be a concubine? I have to read more books with this effort, Seventh Sister is light. ”

After speaking, Su Yingchen entered Cangbai Pavilion and left Su Huiyao outside, and she stomped her feet angrily.

"How could my mother give birth to such an unfilial thing as you! You deserve to fail the test, and you will never be able to pass the test for the rest of your life! ”

After the list was revealed, Xunjing began to be lively again, almost everyone was talking about it, and many congratulatory gifts were sent to the Su family.

But then the excitement of the event was replaced by another event.

On the third day after the queen mother was unveiled, because of her poor health, minor illnesses slowly stacked up and became serious illnesses, and the imperial doctor was helpless and died.

For a time, Dijing was in an uproar.

The queen mother has been with the emperor for many years, giving birth to children and working on palace affairs, and her poor health is a transparent secret in Beijing.

I heard that she fell into the water before giving birth to the prince, and the outside world said that she had fallen into the water, but no one dared to investigate what happened, and then it was difficult to give birth to the prince, and since then she has been ill for a long time, and there will be a lot of things that need her to deal with or pass the purpose with a little mental head, so that this disease has been recuperated for more than ten years, and it has become more and more serious instead of getting better.

But her sudden death is still unacceptable to many people.

I heard that the right to take charge of palace affairs in the palace was handed over to Concubine Xian, who was the only one in the harem, and Concubine Xian was young, almost ten years younger than the queen, and there was a prince under her knees, five or six years younger than the prince.

sat firmly in the position of the second position in the harem at a young age, which shows that this virtuous concubine has clever means, and the important thing is that she can turn the emperor's fans around.

The queen's death was not a small blow to the palace and outside the palace, and the Su family was originally happy because of the fact that the two children were on the list in the past few days, and then the joy disappeared in the national funeral, and not even a shadow could be found.

Su Yao gathered the whole family together and said that during the national funeral, don't go out and walk around at will, especially don't talk nonsense, it would be fatal to say the wrong thing at this juncture, and at the same time he specially instructed Su Yingxiao not to go out and make trouble.

Su Yingxiao rarely appeared in front of everyone for a while, Meng Ruoqian's illness was almost cured, and she began to serve Qin Manhuai and the old lady for a while, serving tea and pouring water, and doing her duty as a daughter-in-law.

Mo'er still went to hook up with Su Yingxiao from time to time, but Su Yingxiao obviously didn't feel much for her, and she didn't go to her room for several months, Shanliju was like an empty shell, only she lived in it, and there were few maids.

Because she is a concubine, she is still an unfavored concubine, especially she is still a concubine who is not favored and annoying, and the mothers-in-law in the big mansion are all old fritters, who can look at her if she doesn't please?

originally thought that he would climb the boat of the eldest son of the Su family, relying on the goods in his stomach, and his future life must be rising and rising, and a better day is coming! But even if she gives birth to the child safely now, I am afraid that she will not be very favored, because now Su Yingxiao is in an embarrassing position in this Su family, and it is not as good as Meng Ruoqian, and Mo'er, who made a dirty thing with Su Yingxiao, is naturally less popular than Su Yingxiao.

She was angry, she hated, she had served in the Meng family for more than ten years, and she thought she was climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, but she fell down hard.
