Chapter 63: To the South Wind Tower

If she hadn't gone out today and only brought two hundred taels of silver, she would have pressed all the money.

After a while, the shopkeeper came back, still holding the ticket given by the gambling house, which was the voucher for winning in the future to get the money, and then handed it to Xie Qingyu's hand.

Xie Qingyu took the ticket, and looked at it carefully, only to see that there were four big words written on it, Hengtong Gambling House, and then Xie Qingyu continued to look down, and found that if Xie Qingyu won the first place in this literary test, the final bonus was as high as two thousand taels of silver, Xie Qingyu was stunned when he saw this result, and he heard that the odds were high, but he didn't expect it to be ten times more.

The shopkeeper was looking at Xie Qingyu with blank eyes at the moment, Xie Qingyu immediately understood, took out one or two pieces of silver from his waist and handed them to Xiao Er, and then Xiao Er left with a smile.

But just as she thought, if there is no accident this time, the leader of this article test will be in her bag.

Then the tickets were properly put away, and Yi Anju came out of Yi'anju in everyone's stunned expressions.

In the following days, Xie Qingyu went out of the house as long as he had time to go around the street, drinking tea here and eating there, which was very comfortable.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the opening of the Nanfeng Building, and all the girls who participated in the election will live in the Nanfeng Building from today, and they will not communicate with the outside world, which is to prevent some of these girls from cheating.

Xie Tianyang sent Steward Liu to send the three young ladies of the Xie family and their luggage to Nanfeng Building.

Xie Qingyu was pulled by her mother to pack her luggage yesterday, although she only lived for three days and came back as soon as the exam was over, but Liu Yuehan was still relieved, and brought Xie Qingyu a lot of dresses to wear, and checked the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and book handouts one by one.

By the time Xie Qingyu and Yuanbao Qianqiu arrived at the door of Xie's mansion with their luggage, Xie Youruo and Xie Youran had already arrived.

Xie Qingyu watched the luggage of the two sisters keep moving out as if they were moving, and several carriages were parked at the door to put their luggage.

"Miss, they have a lot of luggage." Yuan Bao also saw Xie Youran and Xie Youruo's luggage, and whispered to Xie Qingyu.

Looking at his own lady again, he only brought two burdens, which is really a bit shabby in comparison.

Xie Youruo was still at the door, commanding those maids and slaves to handle them gently, but don't break all her jade pendants and jewelry.

From afar, I watched Xie Qingyu come, this slut actually let her pass this primary election so easily last time, and now she has to follow herself and her sister to participate, how can she represent the Xie family in this female official election?

I went today, but I can't let Xie Qingyu feel better, hum.

Xie Youran looked at this sister-in-law, only brought these two things, and there were some doubts in his heart, how could he bring such a little thing when he went out, but he didn't say anything, listening to the report from the girl ring under his hand in the past few days, Xie Qingru went out of the house to play all day, and there was no consciousness of preparing for the exam at all, it was clear that he was still studying so hard a few days ago, why did he have to take the exam but didn't have to work, Xie Youran also couldn't understand his sister.

Then Xie Tianyang and Ruan Mingyu walked towards the gate of Xie Mansion.

The three sisters began to salute Xie Tianyang and greeted him.

"Okay, okay, the three of you are now representing the Xie Mansion, and everything is known to advance and retreat, especially you Youruo, when you arrive at Nanfeng Tower, listen to your sister more, and when you arrive at Nanfeng Tower, you have to watch Youruo carefully and don't let her cause any trouble." Xie Tianyang looked at the three daughters, leisurely he has never been worried, but leisurely has always been spoiled at home, and his temper is a little uncontrollable, which makes him quite worried.

"Father, rest assured." Xie Youran looked at Xie Youruo and smiled, she can still take care of this sister.

It's just that Xie Youruo was quite unconvinced when he heard Xie Tianyang's words, and looked at Xie Qingyu and said.

"Daddy, don't worry about me, but I slandered my sister, I have never participated in the literary exam, I am afraid that if I don't do well in the exam, I won't be able to get the winning card, but I'm afraid that I will lose the name of an inferior lady."

Xie Tianyang listened to Xie Youruo's words, and felt that there was some truth, Xie Qingyu had never participated in the literary examination in previous years, and today let her take the literary examination is good or not.

"Father, the light rumor will be cautious in his words and deeds, and do well in this literary exam." Xie Qingyu naturally saw the hesitation on Xie Tianyang's face, if he changed his mind at this time, wouldn't his efforts for a period of time be in vain?

After Xie Tianyang listened to Xie Qingyu's assurance, he was also slightly relieved, now that the name card has been handed over, and the primary election has also passed, it would be a little unreasonable to not let Xie Qingyu participate in the literary examination at this moment.

"It's the same for you, after you go, ask your eldest sister more about what she means." After thinking about it, he agreed, and he could only let Xie Youran worry more about looking at these two younger sisters.

Ruan Mingyu told her two daughters for a while, Xie Qingyu stood alone aside, her mother-in-law Liu Yuehan was the identity of her aunt in this Xie Mansion, and before she made a name for herself, her mother-in-law could not follow Xie Tianyang's side, and her aunt was not qualified to follow the head of the family.

Then Xie Tianyang said a few words of advice, and Xie Qingyu and his party went on the road, and came to the Nanfeng Building again to take the exam.

It's just that today's literary examination is a little different from the primary election of the day.

As soon as he arrived at the door of Nanfeng Building, Xie Qingyu got out of the carriage and saw a palace maid and grandmother setting up a table at the gate, with the words "drawing lots and dividing rooms" on it.

"How many young ladies from the Xie family have arrived?" The grandmother who greeted her at the door was one of the several grandmothers who were selected in the primary election that day, and because of her status as the richest man in Jiangning of the Xie family, she was also very polite and eager.

"I've seen Mama." Xie Youran heard this, and he also returned the salute very decently.

"Today's table is here to draw lots to decide where to live, three young ladies, please." Mama stretched out her hand and gestured to a large, sealed wooden box on top of the table.

Xie Youran first stretched out his hand and twitched, then Xie Youruo, and finally Xie Qingyu.

Coincidentally, Xie Youran and Xie Youruo drew a courtyard called Pear Courtyard, the courtyard in the Nanfeng Building, which can generally accommodate two people, and now after Xie Youran and Xie Youruo have a courtyard, they can only be left alone, anyway, they don't really want to live in the same place with them, but it is a little relaxed.

Xie Qingyu spread out the note he drew in his hand, and there were three big characters written on it: Ning Lanju.

Mama saw that the results had come out at this time, so she instructed the palace maids beside her to record the courtyard where these young ladies lived.

"Three young ladies, this is your admission sign, but you have to put it away, and you will still live in this courtyard for the next Jiucai exam." As she spoke, Mama took out three signs and handed them over to Xie Qingyu and the three of them one by one.

Xie Youran handed a few taels of silver to Mama quite well, which expressed the Xie family's intentions, and Mama also understood it when she saw this, and accepted it without a trace, and was even more enthusiastic about the three people in front of her.

"Since that's the case, then don't disturb the three young ladies to rest first, Xiaoyue, bring a few little girls to guide these young ladies." As he spoke, he instructed the palace maid beside him to find a few other palace maids to guide Xie Qingyu and a few others.

Liyuan and Ninglanju are two courtyards, and they are quite far apart, Xie Qingyu and Xie Youran are the gate of Nanfeng Building that they entered together, but as soon as they arrived at the main courtyard, they walked through different passages.

Xie Youran and Xie Youruo were led by a palace maid towards the east passage, and Xie Qingyu was led by this palace maid who led the way for himself towards the west passage.

And the servants brought by Xie Youruo were several people walking towards the pear courtyard with a big box, Xie Qingyu didn't bring a girl when he left, and his mother needed someone more, so he came to take a test now, and he would have gone back in two days.

The palace maid took Xie Qingyu and walked for a long time and still didn't reach the place, Xie Qingyu hadn't entered the inner courtyard of Nanfeng Building before, and he had already passed through a lot of courtyards along the way, but he still didn't go.

At this moment, not far in front, a pond appeared, and there was a small pavilion in the center of the pond, which looked very elegant, and there were fish jumping out of the water from time to time in the water, which gave this late autumn season a little more cheerful.

Although there were no flowers and trees in the main courtyard before, but when he arrived in the backyard, Xie Qingyu found many flowers that bloomed just right all the way, and even the trees were mostly green.

The palace maid looked at Xie Qingyu's rather curious gaze, pursed her lips and was very disdainful, this young lady in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River has never seen the world like this.

"These are evergreen trees, only the grass and trees that can be seen in the royal courtyard, and only this Nanfeng Tower can be seen in your small city in the south of the Yangtze River." The tone of the palace maid was also very bad, and she looked down on Xie Qingyu.

Xie Qingyu looked at this palace maid's expression and understood, people born in the palace are arrogant and have no boundaries, thinking of this, I also want to warn this palace maid a little.

"Sister palace maid, is this palace much better than the other courtyard?" Xie Qingyu asked curiously.

"That's natural, every brick and tile of the palace is worth a city in your small city in the south of the Yangtze River." The palace maid looked at Xie Qingyu's ignorant appearance, she was very proud, what about Miss Jiangnan, she had never even seen the palace, and she even told Xie Qingyu about all kinds of luxuries in the palace, such as the night pearl of the East China Sea, and the sweat and blood of Mobei.

"I see, that palace maid sister, do you have to do everything to serve the emperor and the mother in the palace, my maid often washes clothes in the middle of winter, and it is quite distressing to look at me." After Xie Qingyu said this, the palace maid's expression was blue and white for a while, and she couldn't speak to Xie Qingyu anymore.

This little Jiangnan woman dared to sarcastically say that she was a mere slave? And compare herself to her little girl! It's really hateful.

Xie Qingyu saw that this was also a smile in her eyes, this palace maid was really smug, even if she was born in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, she was in the palace, could she really regard the palace as her home? It's ridiculous.
