Eiwatang.

The main face of Yongning County is like frost.

Mama Zhao stood aside, her eyes shining with unkindness. Yao Bi Diancui each stood beside the Lord of Yongning, slightly bowing his head.

Xie Yunxi straightened his chest and sneered: "Third sister! You're finally here! ”

It is about Sheng Jinyue's face, and her mother will never spare Xie Mingxi easily this time!

Xie Mingxi didn't look frightened, and stepped forward to salute as usual: "My daughter has seen her mother." ”

Without waiting for Yongning County to speak, Xie Yunxi sneered again: "The third sister is docile and well-behaved at this time. Before in Huainan Palace, you were sharp-toothed, and even Cousin Jinyue was bullied by you. ”

The county lord of Yongning opened his mouth with a heavy face: "Ming Niang! You have no words today, and you are presumptuous in front of His Royal Highness the Four Princes! provoked His Highness to be angry, and then turned his anger on Jinyue. ”

"Where did you get the confidence to dare to act so boldly?"

The Yongning County Lord's tone suddenly increased, and a cold light suddenly bloomed in his eyes: "The entrance exam of Lotus Pond Academy is coming, I will tolerate you for the sake of the exam you are about to take." You're acting more and more wantonly. Do you think I'm going to tolerate you all the time? ”

"From today on, you will stay in Bishui Pavilion honestly, and you will not be allowed to take half a step out of Bishui Pavilion."

"On the morning of March 15th, I will personally 'send' your sisters to the Lotus Pond Academy for the exam."

"Yun Xi was admitted to the Lotus Pond Academy, and I will not treat you mother and son badly. If you dare to play tricks on it, or if something goes wrong......"

The county lord of Yongning coldly hooked the corners of his lips and pulled out a cruel and cold arc: "Don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

The last few words, with a cold and bloody air.

It was Xie Yunxi, who was secretly frightened when he heard it.

Mama Zhao took it for granted.

Empress Dowager Li has a strict temperament and sharp wrists, and every year in Cining Palace she always brings out a few palace maids who have been beaten to death. The lord of Yongning has been in the palace for several years, and was raised by the Empress Dowager Li, and behaves quite like the Empress Dowager Li.

A few days ago, the county lord tolerated Xie Mingxi a little, because he didn't want to overpress, lest Xie Mingxi be impulsive and make inappropriate moves. It made Xie Mingxi more and more arrogant.

For a concubine, there is no need to be so scrupling and indulgent.

The fate of Aunt Ding's mother and son is in the hands of the county lord, and there is only one Xie Mingxi, who can only obediently obey orders!

Xie Mingxi really lowered his head slightly: "My daughter obeys her mother's orders." ”

The surging anger in the heart of the county lord of Yongning finally calmed down slightly: "In the past few days, I have studied the four books and five classics and practiced writing articles. Diancui will go there once a day and bring me the articles you have written. ”

Xie Mingxi answered again.

The county lord of Yongning calmed down a little more, and his eyes fell on Xie Yunxi, who was watching a good show: "Yun Niang! Don't run around these days. Stay in the Yunshui Pavilion and read and practice calligraphy every day. ”

Xie Yunxi: "......"

It's just a matter of grounding Xie Mingxi! Why did she have to be grounded as well?

Xie Yunxi was extremely reluctant, and called out to his mother coquettishly.

The county lord of Yongning glanced coldly.

Xie Yunxi was suddenly silent, and did not dare to say anything more.

……

You don't have to get up early to go to Ronghe Hall to say goodbye. Reading and practicing writing articles every day, three meals a day are all delicious dishes carefully made by Ye Qiuniang, as well as two snacks and fresh melons and fruits.

On the days of the grounding, Xie Mingxi lived comfortably and leisurely.

Every night, Xie Jun would come to see her in person.

In Xie Jun's opinion, the docile and obedient Xie Mingxi had no guts to provoke Sheng Jinyue. It must be the willful and arrogant Xie Yunxi who reverses right and wrong!

It's just that the county lord of Yongning has issued a grounding order. It was also inconvenient for him to quarrel with the county lord of Yongning over such a trivial matter. I can only come to visit every night, and by the way, I will say a few words of comfort.

"Ming Niang, tomorrow is the entrance exam for Lotus Pond Academy. You don't have to be nervous! Xie Jun said with a smile: "With your talent, you will definitely be able to pass the exam this time." ”

There was a hint of pride in his tone.

Among the three children, only Xie Mingxi inherited his talent for reading. Even if it is one out of fifty, it will not be difficult for Xie Mingxi.

Xie Mingxi smiled and snorted.

Xie Jun sighed regretfully: "I heard that Li Ge's granddaughter Li Xiangru is also going to be admitted to the Lotus Pond Academy this year. It's not easy for you to win the first place. If you wait for a year, you will be the first next year. ”

It's a pity that the county lord of Yongning insisted that Xie Mingxi go to the Lianchi Academy this year.

Xie Mingxi raised his head, his eyes were as bright as water: "Father, do you think the second sister can be admitted?" ”

Xie Jun subconsciously shook his head: "It's impossible." ”

No one knows Xie Yunxi's talent better than Xie Jun.

If Lianchi Academy admits 100 people, there may still be a chance. However, there are only 10 places per year...... How could Xie Yunxi pass the exam?

Xie Mingxi said pointedly: "Mother is very sure. ”

Xie Jun nodded reflexively.

Then, a strange feeling welled up in my heart.

Oh, yes! Xie Yunxi's talent is mediocre, and it is impossible for the county lord of Yongning not to know. Why is she so sure that Xie Yunxi can be admitted to Lotus Pond Academy?

Also, why did the county lord of Yongning insist on letting Xie Mingxi register for the exam this year?

Aunt Ding's tears, Xie Mingxi's strange appearance these days, and the unexpected tolerance of the county lord of Yongning......

A slightly absurd thought flashed through my mind.

Xie Jun's face changed slightly.

……

Xie Jun didn't speak, and Xie Mingxi didn't open his mouth.

After a while, Xie Jun asked in a low voice, "Ming Niang, you tell me." Tomorrow's exam, is there anything else to do? ”

Xie Mingxi looked at Xie Jun quietly, and asked instead of answering: "With my father's wisdom, can't you guess?" ”

Xie Jun: "......"

Xie Jun's complexion changed completely!

The county lord of Yongning has such a despicable idea!

How dare she!

"My mother forced her brother to have a future, and my aunt knelt down to beg for it, and I had to respond."

Xie Mingxi's eyes showed a thick sadness: "The daughter didn't want to tell her father, lest the father stand up for his daughter and quarrel with her mother." It's just that my father cares about me so much, and my daughter is moved in her heart, and she doesn't want to hide it. ”

Xie Jun was moved by Xie Mingxi's sad and envious eyes, and said without thinking: "I'll go to see the county lord and let her dispel this idea." ”

Xie Mingxi was surprised and moved, and said with tears: "Father, don't go." My mother insisted on doing so, but she was afraid that she would not listen to her father. If the father and mother are separated because of the daughter, the daughter is unfilial. ”

Xie Mingxi's "filial piety and sensibility" made Xie Jun's heart rise up with the dignity and sense of responsibility of his father. said categorically: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I'll go to her now." ”

Then, getting up and striding out.

Xie Jun's figure disappeared in front of him.

The sadness on Xie Mingxi's face disappeared and turned into a smile.

Xie Jun would never really turn against her and the county lord of Yongning.

She just gave him a good reason to quarrel with the county lord of Yongning.
