Xu Lingyi said in a low voice: I, you say, Brother Yu'er's marriage is difficult, what is the difficulty?

The main thing is that Xu Siyu is a tall family, but he is the eldest son of a maidservant girl.

But in front of Xu Lingyi, Eleven Niang couldn't say it.

Xu Lingyi didn't mean to ask her to answer. He said in a deep voice: "The difficulty is where is his way out?" ”

Eleven Niang couldn't help nodding.

Xu Lingyi's words got to the point.

Xu Lingyi's son can be genyin, but this gyin has a quota, Xu Lingyi has her own steproom this year, according to the common theory, she will add Ding to the Xu family in the future, and the ratio of this place to Xu Siyu's head will only become more and more slim with the birth of younger brothers and sisters.

As the saying goes, marry someone, dress and eat. If it is a poor family, ten taels of silver can live a few happy days, but Xu Siyu is from a high family, not to mention anything else, just this person's favorite, it will cost a few hundred taels of silver a year. A man who can't even afford to have food and clothing, who wants to marry his daughter to him.

"If Brother Yu'er is a showman, although it is not a big deal." Xu Lingyi saw that Eleven Niang agreed, and continued, "But at least you don't have to kneel in court, and you are exempted from servitude and field endowment, even if you don't have grace, with the power of our family, is it still difficult to be a small official?" In addition, he is the eldest son of the concubine, and he can split up after getting married. As he spoke, he laughed, "So I said, when the time comes, you will wait to pick a daughter-in-law!" ”

"Hou Ye is really!" Eleven Niang said angrily, "I was shocked when I said that." I thought that Master Hou had already seen the girl of which family, and he was only waiting for his brother to show off before he could go to propose. After talking for a long time, it's still Jingua and Shuiyue! ”

"No hurry, no hurry." Xu Lingyi smiled and comforted her, "I'm older, I'm determined, and I know how to live this day." It's too early to get married, both of them are children, sometimes you can bear with it, and take a step back" started to make trouble as she spoke, and finally had a knot in her heart, but her feelings became thinner and became a resentful couple. ”

Is it his own feelings?

Eleven Niang wanted to ask, "Seeing that there was a faint sentimentality between his eyebrows, I was quite stunned in my heart, and swallowed this sentence."

She brought up a cheerful topic: "Master Hou may not know yet, right?" Two days ago, my aunt and I cleared a lot of the clothes that my brother wore when he was a child and sent them to Cangzhou. The person who came back said that Sister Zhen is very good now, and her mother-in-law is afraid that she will be afraid, so she specially invited a niece and daughter-in-law of her mother's family who can speak well and has given birth to four sons to her home as a guest, talk with Sister Zhen'er, and take care of Sister Zhen'er's food, clothing, housing and transportation. It will be August 15 in a few days, "I want to write a letter of thanks for the people who sent the autumn festival gifts to Cangzhou, what does Hou Ye think?" ”

"You don't have to write a thank you note for this, do you?" Xu Lingyi hesitated, "She is a mother-in-law" We can't say anything about how we want to treat Sister Zhen'er! ”

"Oh, it's just to help Sister Zhen coax her mother-in-law!" Eleven Niang disagreed, "Who doesn't want to listen to good words!" We are like this, she has face, and if Sister Zhen can't do anything, she will be more tolerant. Then he smiled, "I count the days, and Sister Zhen should give birth in two months." I don't know if it's a daughter or a son? The mother-in-law I sent to deliver something to Sister Zhen came back and said, "Look at Sister Zhen'er's appearance, it should be a daughter." But I always felt that she was cheating me of the reward. When I was pregnant with my brother, everyone said that it looked like a daughter......"

Xu Lingyi listened to her nagging, so she put her face and asked her in a low voice, "What about you?" ”

"What?" Eleven Niang didn't understand for a while.

Xu Lingyi laughed in a low voice: "You gave away all the clothes of our brother" What will our son wear at that time? ”

"Brother Jin is older, and I don't need those clothes anymore............" Shi Niang said, suddenly understanding what Xu Lingyi was referring to. She couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, her tone paused, and then she said abruptly, "Don't you say that Brother Jin is a blessed person" The crown princess was able to give birth to the emperor's eldest grandson smoothly, all of which were touched by his blessings...... "I also want to be ...... for Sister Binzhen's heart"

"The eldest grandson of the emperor has been blessed by Brother Jin'er?" Xu Lingyi was a little dumbfounded when she heard this, "Who said this?" ”

"You really don't know?" Eleven Niang covered her mouth and smiled, "Two days ago, I went to see Mrs. Gan, and met the fourth wife of the Shanhou Tang family in Zhongqinbo's mansion. We had to go to her house. said that her daughter-in-law was already the fourth child, and she was all girls, and wanted our brother to go and sit on her daughter-in-law's bed. If I hadn't said that Princess Fucheng sent someone to let me go to the princess's mansion, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to leave. That's it, she still didn't believe it, and broke up with me all the way to the princess's mansion. Otherwise, I wouldn't have ventured to the door of Sister Zhou's house! ”

Xu Lingyi laughed and teased Eleven Niang: "I see, he will go to his mother's bed and sit down first!" ”

Eleven Niang couldn't help but hit him on the shoulder: "Promote narrow ghosts!" ”

"I'm serious." Xu Lingyi laughed and teased her, "You give me an honest explanation, how many of Brother Jin'er's clothes did you give to others......

Eleven Niang couldn't laugh: "How can there be such a ...... as you I sent a few to Sister Zhen'er, two to Mrs. Tang Si, and two to Princess Yong'an before......"

The two talked and laughed, making Xu Lingyi temporarily forget the emotion of Wang Jiubao's conviction.

……

Entering August, it rained in Yanjing.

Eleven Niang looked at the brand-new royal blue background of the black color on Xu Siyu's body, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, your father reminded me that I took out your examination basket and examination curtain to dry in June." Otherwise, it would be terrible! "Again, Master Hou said that this examination basket and curtain accompanied you through the county and government examinations, and I will definitely be able to accompany you to participate in the township examination and the general examination in the future."

Before going to the examination room, she wanted to give Xu Siyu more encouragement.

Xu Siyu smiled and didn't make a sound, but his eyes lit up.

Xu Lingyi was not used to Eleven Niang saying such things in front of her son, he coughed lightly, and said indifferently: "Okay, it's not too early, I asked my grandmother to say goodbye, and you should go out." lest everyone flock to the road and block the road. On rainy days, you have to walk to the exam room. Then he instructed Xu Sizhen, who was standing aside, "Send your brother to the examination room with Manager Bai!" ”

The brothers bowed and respectfully answered "yes".

Brother Jin ran over.

He took Xu Siyu's hand, and looked up at his brother with big phoenix eyes: "I'm going too!" ”

Xu Siyu laughed.

He bent down and said softly, "I'll go when you're older!" ”

Eleven Niang hurriedly hugged him over: "Brother has something, don't make any noise." Wait for my mother to tell you a story. ”

Brother Jin has also reached the age of listening to the story, and like Xu Sijie, over and over again, he will not stop talking about it even if his mouth is dry.

Although he didn't insist on following, Brother Jin pouted, looking a little unhappy.

Eleven Niang was afraid that he would affect Xu Siyu's mood, so she hurriedly urged Xu Siyu to go out: "I'll let Zhu Xiang send you to your grandmother!" Grandmother is also worried about your going to the exam room, so she should have gotten up early by this time! ”

Xu Siyu said "um", but did not leave immediately, but asked Brother Jin'er: "What do you like to eat?" I'll bring it to you when my brother comes back! ”

Brother Jin has never eaten anything outside, and unlike Xu Sijie, when he was a child, he ate even a piece of candy with relish. Although he was never a picky eater, he never shouted what he had to eat.

Tilting his little head and thinking for a long time, he looked at Eleven Niang and said, "Eat little crispy fish!" ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

I fried the small crispy fish for breakfast today.

After laughing, Xu Siyu said seriously: "There should be a small crispy fish in Chunxi Building." I'll bring it to you out of the exam room! ”

Brother Jin smiled and snuggled up to Eleven Niang's side.

Xu Lingyi said: "You can take your test well and leave." Just send a little guy to buy him a little crispy fish. ”

Neither father nor son had any intention of deceiving his brother.

Eleven Niang's heart was relieved.

She is most afraid that adults will casually make promises because the child is small and thinks that the child is ignorant, and she will not be able to fulfill it afterwards. Over time, children will lose trust in adults.

Xu Siyu got off the field and really brought a little crispy fish back to Brother Jin.

It's a pity that Brother Jin has fallen asleep.

Xu Siyu said apologetically: "I was going to come back early, but Brother Fang was waiting for me outside the examination room, pulled me to drink tea, and some of his classmates and colleagues, so he asked Sizhu to come back and report a letter...... I wanted to hand it over to him personally, but I didn't expect it to be a little longer............"

As you can imagine.

It's like the class reunion on the second day after the college entrance examination, no matter whether you do well or not, you feel that you can breathe a sigh of relief. As for whether to read the previous book or repeat it, then I will think about it after two days.

She laughed, "It's fine. I'll give it to him tomorrow and leave! ”

Xu Siyu left apologetically.

Xu Lingyi, who was sitting on the big kang near the window and waiting for Xu Siyu to come back, put down his hand: "When did he get so close to Fang Tanua?" ”

I asked people to guard the door before, and when Xu Siyu came back, he asked him to come over and say hello. As a result, when he saw Xu Siyu, he didn't ask a word.

Eleven Niang couldn't help it.

"Brother Yu'er and Fang Tanua have always been very good!" She said, "It's just that they were Brother Qin's daughter-in-law before, and they each have their own positions." Now that the two families have reconciled, the two of them have come closer. ”

Xu Lingyi nodded, and didn't say much more, and the next morning, Brother Jin got up and saw a bag of small crispy fish on the bedside, and looked a little confused.

"This is what the second young master specially went to Chunxi Building to buy for the sixth young master." Gu's mother hurriedly said, "When you brought it over last night, you were already asleep." ”

Brother Jin was happy, picked up the little crispy fish and ran into the inner room of Eleven Niang: "Mother, the second brother bought me a small crispy fish!" ”

Eleven Niang smiled and kissed Brother Jin'er's cheek: "I remember to thank the second brother when I meet the second brother!" ”

Brother Jin nodded, and when he saw Xu Siyu, he obediently thanked him.

"No!" Xu Siyu smiled and touched Brother Jin'er's head.

A little maid ran in: "Madam, Second Madame, asked the second young master, did you come to say hello?" If you say hello, please ask the second young master to go to Shaohua Courtyard. ”

Before the words fell, a little maid ran in: "Madam, the jade version of the sister next to Mrs. Tai is here." said that he was ordered by Mrs. Tai, and asked if the second young master had come? If you do, let me go! ”

Xu Siyu came back too late yesterday, and Mrs. Tai and Mrs. II did not wait for him.

They are concerned about how Xu Siyu did in the exam, right?

Eleven Niang couldn't help laughing.

On the contrary, Xu Lingyi didn't ask a word.

She commanded, "Go quickly! Be careful to make Mrs. Tai and your second aunt anxious! ”

Xu Siyu should go away.

A few days later, news came from Shuntianfu that Xu Siyu had taken the ninth place in the exam and became a student of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Not only can you go to school to attend classes, but you can also receive six buckets of rice every month.
