After separating from Cai Xiaoxiao and Zhao Kangcheng, Zheng Yi rushed all the way to the Zheng family. When there was still some distance from the gate of the Zheng family, the servant guarding the door saw Zheng Yi's carriage with sharp eyes, recognized that it was Zheng Yi's exclusive carriage, and immediately shouted excitedly: "The eldest young master is back!" Immediately, one ran over to Zheng Yi excitedly to meet him, and the other turned around and ran to the mansion to report the good news to the people in the mansion:

"Old lady, old lady, big lady, big young master is back, big young master is back......"

When the people in the mansion heard the news, some were overjoyed, and some were disapproving, but everyone still got up and rushed to the courtyard where the old lady was, because they knew that Zheng Yi would definitely go to visit the old lady as soon as he came back.

When the carriage arrived at the door, Zheng Yi stepped down from the carriage, and when the servant who went to greet him saw him, he immediately stepped forward happily and shouted, "Young Master, you are back!" ”

Zheng Yi saw him, patted him on the shoulder, walked towards the house, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, I miss my master?" ”

"Isn't it, young master, you've been here for so long, and everyone in the house misses you." The servant said while following Zheng Yi's footsteps.

All? He believes that some people in the house think of him, but if "all" thinks of him, he does not believe him. However, Zheng Yi also understood that this was just an exaggerated and flattering remark from a domestic servant.

"I love to listen to it, and I will reward you." Zheng Yi threw a silver ingot at him.

The servant caught it, stood by the edge of the door, watched Zheng Yi walk in, and shouted happily: "Thank you young master for the reward!" ”

Zheng Yi waved his hand with his back to him.

Walking through the courtyard to the old lady's courtyard, they met all kinds of maids or servants on the way, and when they saw him, they all smiled and shouted happily:

"Big young master!"

"Young Master, you're back!"

"Welcome back the eldest young master!"

……

It can be seen that Zheng Yi has a certain popularity in the hearts of the people.

Stepping into the old lady's courtyard, the people were still in the courtyard, Zheng Yi shouted in the direction of the hall: "Grandfather, grandmother, mother!" I am back! ”

The old lady who was waiting in the hall heard Zheng Yi's shout from a distance, and they all laughed, and the old lady smiled at the eldest lady sitting next to her: "It's still the same, what's the matter." ”

"Not really." The eldest lady covered her mouth and smiled.

"I don't know what kind of results I got back after going to the capital." The old lady said expectantly.

"Just him? Eighty percent fell off the list. The old lady smiled and waved her hand and said. She still knows her eldest grandson's temperament very well.

The old lady obviously knew Zheng Yi too, and after listening to the old lady's words, she sighed slightly: "Hey." He still hopes that Zheng Yi can get a fame.

The old lady also understood the old lady's thoughts, but this was also something that she couldn't force on, so she gently patted the old lady's hand, which was considered comforting.

The old lady looked at her, understood her comfort, smiled, and thought: That's it, I didn't pass this exam, and there are other grandchildren. And he also knew that Zheng Yi actually didn't like officialdom.

At this time, Zheng Yi had already come to the door of the hall, stepped in with long legs, walked in, and shouted to the three people sitting on the high head as he walked forward: "Grandfather, grandmother, mother, I'm back."

As soon as the old lady and the eldest lady saw him, their eyes immediately turned red, and there were tears in their eyes, and the old lady stretched out her hand to Zheng Yi and said in a choked voice: "My good grandson, you are finally back, and you miss your grandmother." ”

Zheng Yi walked over with a smile, leaned over and gently hugged the old lady: "My grandson also misses my grandmother." Then he glanced at the eldest lady and saw the eldest lady sitting aside and wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and then went to gently hug the eldest lady, "Mother, it's a good thing that the child is back, what are you crying about, hurt your eyes carefully, grandmother don't shed tears." ”

He stood up, saw the two of them like this, smiled helplessly, and said, "This is not the first time I have gone far away, I won't dare to go far next time like this." ”

When the two heard him say this, they hurriedly withdrew their tears, and the eldest lady said, "Don't cry, we won't cry." In fact, they didn't know what was going on, in the past, Zheng Yi often ran southeast and northwest for his family's business, but this time when he came back from the capital, they thought extraordinarily, maybe it was because the capital might be the reason why he went for the first time.

When the old lady saw it, she shook her head and said, "Women's family." Then without waiting for the old lady to glare at him, he turned to Zheng Yi and said, "It's good to come back, how do you feel about your time in the capital?" "I didn't ask Zheng Yi directly about the imperial examination.

At this time, there were already two maids holding chairs beside the eldest lady, Zheng Yi immediately sat down, and then replied: "It's good, it's much more fun than I imagined." ”

The eldest lady glared at him lightly and said, "You know how to play!" ”

"Hey, hey." Zheng Yi smiled openly.

"Big nephew, is there anything else besides fun?" At this time, sitting opposite the eldest lady, the second son of the old lady, the second master in the Zheng Mansion, asked Zheng Yi with a smile on his face.

Zheng Yi looked at him and asked with a puzzled expression, "Something else?" What else? Gourmet food? Mother, grandmother, let me tell you, there are a lot of food in the capital, there is a restaurant there, called the world's first restaurant, you say this name is very arrogant? But don't say it, their food is really good, but it's still not as good as my sister-in-law's craftsmanship......" He asked halfway, turned around and talked to the eldest lady and the old lady about the food in the capital.

The eldest lady and the old lady listened to him chatter with a smile, and the old lady was also listening to the old god by the side, but the other elders sitting in the hall didn't want to hear Zheng Yi say this.

The Zheng family is all businessmen, except for the eldest of the three sons of the old lady, who has passed away, the remaining two sons are also in business, and they have been to the capital a few times, not only by themselves, but sometimes with their wives or children, so that Zheng Yi is the only one of the few juniors who has not been to the capital.

And those people, they all know what the capital has, so they naturally don't bother to listen to Zheng Yi to say this, so the second master's wife couldn't help but interrupt Zheng Yi's words: "Zheng Yi, your second uncle wants to ask you about the imperial examination." How did you do in the imperial examination? ”

For her interruption, the eldest lady and the old lady were a little displeased, and the old lady also frowned slightly: Can they not know that they want to ask Zheng Yi about the imperial examination? just felt that the result was as they expected, and it would be bad if Zheng Yi was upset if they asked more, so they didn't come up to ask this question.
