Chapter 40: Disobedience
Looking at the way the two talked affectionately, Xie Yunxi secretly regretted it in his heart.
Unexpectedly, this girl who fainted outside the academy had a great background.
Knowing this, she should have pretended at that time. cheapened Xie Mingxi for nothing, and befriended Lin Yushi's daughter with a few ginseng pills...... And Yin Xiaoxiao before!
I really don't know what's so good about Xie Mingxi, who has sharp teeth and sharp mouth!
But she was a lowly maiden, and they all looked at her differently. This serious daughter of the Xie family is here, but no one cares! It's just hateful and annoying!
Xie Yunxi was angry in his heart and quickened his pace.
"Yun Niang," the familiar voice of the county lord of Yongning sounded.
Xie Yunxi cheered up, walked over quickly, and threw herself into the arms of the county lord of Yongning coquettishly: "Mother! After a whole day of exams, my wrists were sore and painful, and I didn't have the strength to hold chopsticks. ”
The cold Yongning County Lord, his complexion softened slightly at this time, and he stroked Xie Yunxi's hair: "Let's go back to the house first!" He frowned slightly: "What about Ming Niangren?" Why didn't I stay with you? ”
Xie Yunxi finally seized the opportunity to sue. Cheering up, he quickly recounted what had happened today: "...... She deliberately sat far away from it, and I ......"
An excited, louder voice.
Immediately aroused many curious eyes.
Xie Yunxi didn't notice it, and wanted to say more.
The county lord of Yongning coughed and interrupted Xie Yunxi: "You are also tired, get in the carriage and rest first." I'm waiting for Ming Niang here. ”
Dian Cui stepped forward with a look and held Xie Yunxi's arm: "The slave waits for the second lady to get into the carriage." ”
Xie Yunxi stopped talking and obediently got into the carriage.
The county lord of Yongning stood in place, his face gloomy. After waiting for a while, I saw Xie Mingxi, who was late. Xie Mingxi saluted: "Mother Lao has been waiting for a long time." ”
The Yongning County Lord's gaze swept across Xie Mingxi's face like a blade, and said coldly: "Get in the carriage first and wait." ”
……
Candidates were picked up one by one. The horse-drawn carriages outside the academy gradually decreased.
The carriage of the Yongning County Lord's Mansion has been waiting in place.
Xie Yunxi wanted to open his mouth several times, but when he saw the gloomy face of the county lord of Yongning, he immediately kept silent. Although they are the mother and daughter of their relatives, Xie Yunxi is always a little inexplicably afraid of the county lord of Yongning, and he does not dare to be too wanton.
Xie Mingxi saw it in his eyes, and the corners of his lips raised slightly.
Half an hour later, it was dark. The carriages outside the academy were almost gone. A lonely carriage, quite eye-catching.
A young woman who looked like a maid walked quickly to the carriage and said softly, "Master Sun ordered the slave and maid to come and deliver the letter." Everything is safe and error-free. The county lord can return home with peace of mind. ”
This is the maid specially sent by Master Sun to deliver the letter.
The county lord of Yongning breathed a sigh of relief, didn't say much, and opened his mouth to order to leave for home.
By the time the carriage returned to the house, it was already dark.
The main entrance of the county lord's mansion was wide open, and the hanging glass lamps shone with a dazzling and bright luster. Xie Jun and Xie Yuanting, father and son, were waiting at the door.
Seeing the carriage from afar, the father and son hurried over to greet them. Xie Jun gently stretched out his hand to help him, and Xie Yuanting stood on the other side and also stretched out his arm.
The county lord of Yongning had to pretend in front of people. let her husband and son help her get out of the carriage, but in fact, her heart was tumbling and her stomach was endless.
Xie Yunxi then got out of the carriage and received the kind care of his father and brother.
"Yun Niang, did this exam go well?"
"I see that the second sister has a ruddy face and is full of confidence, and she will definitely be able to pass the exam."
Xie Yunxi remembered the instructions of the county lord of Yongning, and behaved very confidently in front of his father and brother: "The list will be released in three days, and my father's eldest brother will wait for the good news!" ”
Before he finished speaking, a soft sneer sounded behind him.
Xie Yunxi was impetuous, and couldn't help flirting at all, so he immediately turned around and glared: "The third sister is laughing at me? ”
Xie Mingxi got out of the carriage slowly: "I only laughed, how can I laugh at it." The second sister is so sensitive, is it because of her weak heart? ”
Xie Yunxi: "......"
In terms of tongue, Xie Yunxi is not Xie Mingxi's opponent at all. In a few words, he was defeated.
Xie Jun glanced at Xie Mingxi with a complicated expression, and what he wanted to say was swallowed back.
Make a wedding dress for someone!
Xie Mingxi has resentment in his heart, and it is inevitable.
Xie Yuanting didn't know what to do, and immediately sank his face: "Third sister, why are you talking to your sister like this?" Why don't you apologize to your second sister soon? ”
Xie Mingxi didn't raise his eyelids: "I'm tired, go back to Bishui Pavilion first." ”
And then, just leave.
Xie Yuanting was shocked and angry: "Father, the third sister left without saying goodbye!" It's really annoying that it's so vulgar and rude. He will be punished severely......"
"Shut up!" Xie Jun's face sank: "Ming Niang will be tired for the first day of the exam, so it's okay to go back and rest." As an elder brother, not only are you not compassionate, but you are a punishment with one mouth, which is really mean! ”
Xie Yuanting: "......"
Xie Yuanting's white and handsome face turned dark red, and he lowered his head to admit his mistake: "Father taught me a lesson." ”
I was secretly angry in my heart.
He is the only son of the Xie family, and he is a concubine, and he is also very expensive. In the past ten years, his father Xie Jun has never been reluctant to say half a word. Unexpectedly, today I reprimanded myself for Xie Mingxi, a stinky girl......
Xie Jun was full of thoughts, and he didn't want to say more, waved his hand and said, "Go to the study to reflect, you can't have dinner tonight." ”
……
Xie Fu, Lan Xiang Yuan.
Aunt Ding looked restless all day long, and her heart was heavy.
Wen Qi said in a low voice: "It's getting late, and it's time for my aunt to have dinner." ”
Aunt Ding let out a long sigh: "Where do I have the heart to finish eating, let's withdraw!" ”
I don't know if Xie Mingxi is obedient, so he signed Xie Yunxi's name on the test paper......
In case Xie Mingxi was resentful, he deliberately "missed" during the exam, causing Xie Yunxi to fail the exam. The county lord of Yongning will definitely be furious and settle this account on her and Xie Yuanting......
The more Aunt Ding thought about it, the more panicked she became, but she had nothing to do, so she sat down all night.
……
In the house of Lianchi Academy, the lights are bright.
Masters who teach subjects such as female red music and cooking are not eligible to mark the papers. Those who stayed here were all talented masters in the Lotus Pond Academy. The men and women are half, and several of them are Hanlin in the current dynasty, as well as the great Confucians in the capital.
All the teachers and children gathered in the school hall where classes were held on weekdays. They were divided into five schools. The large table was full of test papers. The masters did not dare to neglect and neglect, and they concentrated on each other and graded the test papers.
It is quite inconvenient for men and women to be in the same room.
The Lotus Pond Academy has been in existence for more than ten years, and the masters felt awkward at first, but now they are gradually getting used to it. The masters bowed their heads and busied, only the slight sound of turning the test papers, and no one spoke.
Ji Fuzi is also bowing his head to read the papers.
The 500 papers are divided into five groups of 100 each. It is not easy to rank 20 A out of this hundred. Each one has to be carefully reviewed.
The master in the same group suddenly let out a "huh".
