Xie Mingyun and Su Nan returned to the capital mansion, and the next day Xie Mingyun studied behind closed doors on the grounds of preparing for the exam, and Xie Jia'an and Mrs. Zhou rejected all invitations to Su Nan on the grounds that Xie Mingyun wanted to prepare for the exam.

Xie Mingyun didn't prepare for any exams, but just accompanied Su Nan to carefully select the maiden and mother-in-law who were waiting in their yard, and arranged all the details in the yard.

Regarding the fact that Weng Weng and his wife rejected all the invitations for Su Nan, Xie Mingyun lowered his eyelids and only snorted, everything about Su Nan was tied to him, it was all on him, how he treated her now, how he would treat her in the future, and how he would treat her in this life, he would just understand it himself.

On the day of the entrance examination, from midnight, the capital was brightly lit, Jiu Niangzi accompanied Su Nan, and sent it to two streets away from the Gongyuan, and the car couldn't move, Xie Mingyun got out of the car, smiled and explained a few words to Su Nan, and leisurely followed Qingye who was carrying the examination basket, and under the escort of Hongye and Lao Wu and others, he disappeared into the crowd.

"I can't see it, let's go back, sister-in-law, don't worry, the ninth brother will take this spring snail, according to the words of the wife, take the snail with three fingers, and the stable one can no longer be stable, I think the ninth brother can specify two more first places, if the ninth brother takes two more first names, it will be the unprecedentedly six heads and three yuan! I heard that even the emperor is looking forward to it, saying that this is a good omen. ”

Jiu Niangzi said more than Xie Zhirou, and when she said it, there was at least one string, and most of the time it was three, four, four or five strings together.

Su Nan smiled and nodded, she didn't have any feelings about the six heads and three yuan, but there was one thing she was the same as Jiu Niangzi, that was her confidence in Xie Mingyun, that was Xie Jiu Gongzi.

In the past month of coming to Xie Mansion, she actually got along with Jiu Niangzi the best, this Jiu Niang'er is indeed like Xie Mingyun said, thinking less and talking more, she feels that Jiu Niangzi is very similar to Sister Rou, especially the fuss, and the one that is good with you, just dig out your heart and lungs, and be brave and loyal.

"If I were the emperor, I would order Brother Jiu to be the champion, sister-in-law Jiu, have you seen the new Jinshi hairpin flower parade street? But it's good-looking, it's lively, I say it's good-looking, it's saying that the new jinshi has to be good-looking, like the ninth brother, it's not as good as the ninth brother, it's almost on the line, wearing a big red, the hairpin on the head is full of the most beautiful flowers, I think they are all powdered, and the horses they ride are also very beautiful, one by one laughing, walking in rows and rows, if people are good-looking, they are very good-looking, just meet the old one...... Oh, there are only very old Jinshi, not extremely ugly, and the ugly ones are probably all gone, alas, I said far away, if the ninth brother wins the champion, the people in the capital will definitely only look at the champion, and then don't look at other people. ”

Jiu Niangzi's words fell like beads.

"Jiu Gongzi is not the champion, and the people in the capital must only look at him and not others." Su Nan smiled and continued.

"Oh, too, Ninth Sister-in-law, why do you call Ninth Brother and Ninth Son? Good to see. Jiu Niangzi also felt most comfortable talking to Su Nan, and she could say whatever she wanted.

"I think it's good to be called Jiugongzi, Jiugongzi also thinks it's good, I think Jiulang or something, it's not as imposing as Jiugongzi." Su Nan tasted the product, in comparison, Jiu Ye, Jiu Lang, Jiu Gongzi, or Jiu Gongzi is still good.

"You can shout the word Ninth Brother."

"It's not good, the ninth prince is ready to change his words." Su Nan waved her hand.

"Change? I can't change it, it's the word given to him by the prince, but I don't think it sounds good, sister-in-law, let's ...... Forget it, the wife said, Brother Jiu did well in the exam, before the list, you can't go anywhere, say anything or it's unlucky, let's go back and smoke some flower notes, okay? "The topic of Jiu Niangzi became extremely fast.

"I can't go out, it's not that you can't go out, didn't you say yesterday that a few ladies from Cao Shangshu's family came to ask you to go to a nunnery today to eat vegetarian food?" Su Nan said strangely.

"Yesterday, Brother Jiu asked me to accompany you more in the past few days, and it is best to accompany you every day." Jiu Niangzi clenched her fists with both hands and pressed them on her chest, "It's the ninth brother who entrusted it, let me tell you about the ninth sister-in-law, the ninth brother is at home, and he doesn't care about people, I have grown so big, the first time, the ninth brother took the initiative to talk to me, and entrusted me, the ninth sister-in-law, you don't know, the ninth brother has changed too much, and it is scary." ”

Su Nan glared at Jiu Niangzi, her words scared her a little, how could she listen to her, Jiu Gongzi was simply like a monster.

"Tell me, what was the Ninth Prince like before?" Su Nan moved, looking at Jiu Niangzi, full of interest.

The two went all the way home, although they got up in the middle of the night, they didn't feel sleepy, went into Su Nan's house, sat on the couch, and continued to talk.

“…… Ninth sister-in-law, do you know that there are a lot of posts at home that invite you to come over to enjoy the flowers, a lot! ”

Su Nan nodded, of course she knew, Xie Mingyun told her.

"Then do you know why the lady stopped them all? It's not because Brother Jiu wants to prepare for the exam, who doesn't know Brother Jiu's academic articles, and Brother Jiu's hard work is usual, and he never rushes to hold Buddha's feet, this wife and Weng Weng know best. ”

"Why?" Su Nan was very cooperative, "Isn't it because of the preparation of the ninth prince, but because of the auspiciousness?" ”

"How can there be such a good fortune? That's for you, ma'am...... I overheard, the grandmother and Weng Weng talked, saying that the ninth brother married you, I really can't figure it out, and then that, those words, just like everyone said, I listened to the grandmother, I don't want you to go out, it's best not to see anyone, saying that the ninth brother was confused for a while, and after a while, when he grows up, he will know that you are not in the right household with him, and this life will not be able to go on. ”

Jiu Niangzi said while looking at Su Nan's expression, "Ninth sister-in-law, you shouldn't know, these words shouldn't be said to you, but I think you'd better know, otherwise...... It's pathetic. Don't blame the woman. ”

"Why should I blame the grandmother?" Su Nan's expression was indifferent, "Manpingjiang Mansion, it's not Manpingjiang Mansion, Manpingjiang Mansion, Man...... People who know, don't all think like this, it's me, my cousin, my grandmother, my father, who also think the same, they all think that the ninth prince is crazy and married me, and I always feel that the crazy spirit of the ninth prince always has to pass, and I think so too. ”

"Huh?!" Jiu Niangzi's eyes were round, "Then you still have it?" ”

"Ninth sister, don't talk about me, look at the ninth son, is he like a fairy? can be with a fairy-like person like Jiu Gongzi, even if it's only for these two months...... It's been three months, and I'm satisfied, how good Jiu Gongzi is to me, you can also see it, how good! ”

Su Nan sighed with great satisfaction.

"Ninth sister, you don't know the life of our poor family......" Su Nan didn't finish a sentence, and sighed lowly, "I can't tell you, you told me a few days ago that the Zhou family is now losing badly, and his girls are all buying large pieces of paper, and they go back to cut small ones themselves, and the clothes are half new, and half are refurbished with old clothes, you think the Zhou family girls are very pitiful, but in our eyes, like the Zhou family, they are all good to heaven." ”

Jiu Niangzi stared at Su Nan with wide eyes.

"If I didn't marry the ninth prince, if I had been in Pingjiang Mansion, like my cousin, I would have done what I wanted, I would marry the best, that is, like my uncle's family, I would have to eat and dress warmly, if there were two children in the family who went to school together, I would have to be careful in my calculations, and the three children would be a little difficult, and the family would definitely not be able to support people."

Like my eldest aunt, my third aunt, and my grandmother, too, get up before dawn, work a lot, wash their own clothes, bring their own children, cook their own meals, and keep their own chickens, not eat meat, chickens lay eggs, sell them for oil and salt, and live carefully, but if you waste a little bit, the poorer you are, all year round,"

Su Nan paused, "It's only the month I gave birth, and I don't have to work just to eat and drink." ”

Jiu Niangzi snorted loudly.

"My eldest uncle and third uncle are all exquisite, and they are good at birth, but not to mention the ninth son, that is, compared with the most inferior slaves in this house, they can't compare with their clothes, they can't compare with cleanliness, and they can't compare with others, and they can't compare with others, and people who are thirty years old look like fifty or sixty ......."

Su Nan lowered her head, "To live is to stay up, to eat and drink every day, before the child is born, I save money one by one, this money is used for school, this money is used for dowry, and this money is given as a dowry to marry a daughter-in-law."

The eldest aunt and the third aunt were all in school, when the third aunt was a girl, she was very good at writing poetry, and after she got married, she never read a book again, she was not free, she was busy from dark to dark, how could she have the kung fu to read? ”

Su Nan's words paused, and it took a long time before she looked at the nine ladies who looked at her with a little fear.

"In these three months, I knew for the first time that going out was not hard at all, I had not worn the same clothes since the day I got married, and the ninth prince said that if I felt comfortable with the old clothes, I would wear the old clothes, and if I liked the new clothes, I would have new clothes every day, I had drunk a lot of good tea, and every time I went to a place, the nine sons took me to delicious food, to see the scenery, and to see the people's writing.

Jiu Gongzi told me a lot of things, a lot of truth, these months, I feel that the more I live, the more I understand, more and more clear and transparent, these three months, than the eldest aunt, the third aunt, and grandmother, plus the days together, are more brilliant.

There are three months, even if it is ......"

Su Nan lowered her head, "I'm very content, Jiu Gongzi once said that people live, not to live long, I didn't understand when he said the first time, but now I understand." ”
