Chapter 367: Farce (I)
Eleven Niang's side was lively, and Mrs. Tai's side also got a letter.
"Quick, go and talk to Yizhen." Mrs. Tai repeatedly instructed Wei Zi, "Tell her, the second young master has been hit." ”
Wei Zi bowed his knees and went to Shaohua Courtyard with joy.
The second lady was writing at the desk, and when she heard the news that Xu Si had been infected with Tong Sheng, she raised her head, a faint smile flashed on her face, and she told Yuxiang to pack up her things: "...... Let's go to Mrs. Tai. ”
Yuuka smiled and said "yes", and went to Mrs. Tai with the second lady.
When I entered the door, I saw Eleven Niang's personal maid Amber standing under the eaves.
"The Fourth Lady arrived early." Yuuka laughed in a low voice, and saw that Amber had come forward respectfully, and bent her knees to salute the second lady: "Second lady! ”
The second lady bowed slightly and entered the hall.
There was a laugh from Mrs. Tai in the west: "...... It is yours, it is yours. ”
I don't know what Eleventh Niang came up with this time to make Mrs. Tai so happy.
The second lady raised her eyebrows.
The little maid standing in front of the curtain had already prayed "the second lady is here" and lifted the curtain on the other hand.
The second lady walked in.
Mrs. Tai and Eleven Niang were sitting side by side on the kang affectionately. Seeing the second lady coming in, Mrs. Tai hurriedly beckoned to her: "Our brother is the ninth, and he took the ninth place in the exam." "I was very happy.
The second lady stepped forward with a smile and saluted: "Brother Yu'er really met a famous teacher - he went to Le'an, but it was only four or five months!" ”
"Not really." Mrs. Tai couldn't help but nod her head, "Thanks to Mr. Jiang." Then he said, "Eleven Niang's meaning, although it is only a child, but the first step of Pengcheng is something worth celebrating." But if it is done in a big way, in the future, Brother Yu will have to take the examination of talents, people, and scholars, for fear that the child will have a burden. It will be March 3 in a few days, so it is better to invite relatives and friends to come to the house for a gathering, and do not say what it is, just know what you know, and don't say anything if you don't know. What do you see? ”
When the second lady entered the door, she heard Mrs. Tai say "It's up to you", and she didn't know Mrs. Tai's intentions. smiled: "I listen to the idea of the fourth brother and sister." ”
Seeing the same tone between the two, Mrs. Tai was happy in her heart, and pulled the second lady and the eleventh mother to talk about the list of banquets.
By less than the afternoon, everyone in the family would know.
Aunt Qin changed into new clothes, cleaned her hands and face, and respectfully put three pillars of incense on the Bodhisattva. He prayed with words in his mouth for a long time. Cui'er only heard the words "everything goes well" and "reshaping the golden body" on the side, knowing that she was asking the Bodhisattva to bless the second young master, thinking that Aunt Qin had been unable to sleep at night for the past few days, she couldn't help but hide her mouth and smile on the side. Turning around and pouring a cup of tea, Aunt Qin got up after worshipping the Bodhisattva.
Cui'er hurriedly put the teacup on the kang table and stepped forward to pick up Aunt Qin.
"Auntie, I heard that Mrs. asked the kitchen to add vegetables, and sent someone to the library to get a silver coin for a reward!"
Aunt Qin nodded slightly when she heard this, and there was not much joy on her face.
Cui'er was slightly stunned and shouted "Auntie".
Aunt Qin let out a long sigh when she heard this: "I'm afraid that he won't be able to pass the exam and make Master Hou unhappy, and I'm afraid that he will be admitted...... Then Le'an has to go! As he spoke, he sat down on the edge of the kang.
Cui'er hurriedly squatted down and took off Aunt Qin's shoes, thinking of Wen Zhu's saying that she would go to Le'an no matter whether she passed the exam or not, she was also a little reluctant. He said in a low voice: "It's almost March 3, why does the second young master have to leave after March 3?" There was a little uncertainty in his tone.
"It depends on what Master Hou means." Aunt Qin frowned, looking worried, "I have to find a way to let the second young master stay at home for a few more days!" ”
Cui'er listened and nodded.
No matter how good Le'an is, it is always a rural place. How can it be compared to the Yanjing Yongping Marquis Mansion, brocade clothes and jade food......
"It's to find a way to let the second young master stay at home for a few more days." She also helped to figure out a way, "The third day of the third month of March has passed...... It's Qingming Festival. Cui'er said, her eyes lit up, "The second young master has passed the Tongsheng examination, which is a great joy." Why do you want to be ancestors? ”
"That's right!" Aunt Qin listened to her spirits, "Why didn't I think of it?" After the third day of the third month of March is the Qingming Festival, and after the Qingming Festival is Mrs. Tai's birthday. This is all a matter of 'filial piety'! ”
Cui'er's eyes smiled as she listened.
And in the study room of Shaohua Courtyard, Aunt Qin's thinking about Xu Siyu stood in front of the second lady with a respectful expression.
"I don't know how many people are just a student all their lives." The second lady took a sip of tea, "You still have a long road ahead, don't be complacent because of this little progress." Every inch of time is an inch of gold, you don't have to live up to this good time. I think after March 3, you can leave for Le'an! Mr. Jiang lives up to his reputation, you must know how to cherish such an opportunity. ”
Xu Si bowed and said "yes", but there was a little surprise in his eyes: "I originally planned to return to Le'an's ...... after the list was released."
The second lady listened to her head slightly, her face flashed with relief, and explained, "This is what your mother meant. said that you were admitted to the Tongsheng and wanted to celebrate for you, but I was afraid that you would have a burden, so I wanted to use the name of March 3 to make a lot of fun. Although the tone was light, he did not say that he was against such an arrangement.
Xu Siyu showed a little joy on his face when he heard this: "Then I'll leave after March 3." ”
The second lady said "um" lightly, picked up a small black lacquer box on the table and handed it to Xu Siyu: "This inkstone is not bad, you can use it!" Then he served tea.
Xu Siyu took the inkstone with both hands and got up to say goodbye.
When I returned to the house, I saw twelve knives of paper and four square ink strips on the bookcase.
Wen Zhu said with a smile: "The paper was given by Mrs., and the ink strip was given by Aunt Wen." ”
Xu Siyu nodded and put aside the inkstone given by the second lady: "Put it away!" We set off again after March 3. ”
Wen Zhu was a little surprised when he heard this.
Xu Siyu has already sat down on the bookcase: "Mother wants to help me celebrate on March 3rd!" ”
"It's just a little child!" Xu Lingyi was a little unimpressed when she heard this, "I think it's better to forget it!" Let him go back to peace sooner, and start reading earlier. ”
"Reading is not something that happens overnight." Eleven Niang smiled, "It's just a few days late." ”
As he spoke, several shrill and piercing flutes rang out from the east time.
Xu Lingyi frowned slightly: "How much more does he have to blow?" ”
Xu Sijie practiced playing the flute in the east room.
Shi Niang smiled and looked at the floor clock: "I have to blow for a quarter of an hour!" ”
As he spoke, there were a few dull "whines" from the east.
Xu Lingyi wanted to speak and stopped.
Eleven Niang just didn't see it, and talked to him about the banquet casually: "Mrs. Jiang, I'm afraid I just want to invite you!" ”
There were two more short "whirring" sounds.
"That's nature." Xu Lingyi tried to ignore those noises as much as possible, "Brother Yu was able to pass the exam this time, and Mr. Jiang contributed a lot." We should also express our gratitude anyway. ”
As soon as the words fell, Xu Sijie walked in with his head down.
He saluted Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang sheepishly.
"What's wrong?" Eleven Niang got up and walked in front of him, squatted down and touched his little head.
"Still not working!" Xu Sijie's head hung lower, and his voice was like a gnat, "I still can't blow it out!" ”
"It's already good!" Eleven Niang smiled and hugged him, "When my mother was as old as you, she couldn't even blow a single sound." That's why I haven't learned to play the flute yet! ”
"Really!" Xu Sijie raised his head, his eyes as bright as the morning star.
"Really!" Eleven Niang smiled and nodded.
Xu Sijie thought for a while and said, "Then I learned it, so I told my mother to blow it." ”
"Okay!" Eleven Niang said happily, "Then I'll wait for our brother to tell me to play the transverse flute!" ”
Xu Sijie nodded very seriously.
Eleven Niang handed him over to Nanyong's daughter-in-law: "Go wash your hands and face, let's go to grandmother's for dinner." ”
Xu Sijie obediently followed Nanyong's daughter-in-law.
Xu Lingyi couldn't help but say: "You can't lie to the child, he will take it seriously." ”
It refers to learning to play the transverse flute with Xu Sijie!
Eleven Niang smiled: "I didn't lie to him. If there is a day, I will learn from him! ”
Where is the dignity of parents?
Xu Lingyi looked at Shi Niang's face full of smiles and disapproval, thought about it, and felt that Brother Jie's young age might have forgotten about it by then, and finally said nothing.
Linbo asks to see you.
"Master Hou, Grandpa He is here."
Gonggong He is the emperor's personal attendant and the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace. Come at this time, I don't know what's going on!
Eleven Niang looked at Xu Lingyi with some uneasiness.
Xu Lingyi's expression was very calm: "Is it in official clothes or civilian clothes?" ”
"Wearing official clothes." A trace of confusion flashed in Lin Bo's eyes, "But it doesn't look like business." ”
Xu Lingyi thought about it, said to Eleven Niang, "I'll take a look", and then got up and went to the study in the outer courtyard.
Eleven Niang hugged Xu Sijie and told a few stories in the three-character scripture, and Xu Lingyi turned back.
"Help me change into my regular clothes, I want to enter the palace."
Eleven Niang asked Nanyong's daughter-in-law to take Xu Sijie to Mrs. Tai, and then instructed the maid to get Xu Lingyi's regular clothes to help him change into them.
Xu Lingyi looked at it and smiled: "You're not in a hurry!" ”
Shi Niang was helping him tie his waist, and when she heard this, she raised her head: "Lord Hou is not in a hurry, what is there to worry about the concubine." ”
Xu Lingyi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
Eleven Niang helped him pull the corners of his clothes, and then took the seven-beam crown handed by the little maids and put it on for him.
"The Queen Mother is crying for the first emperor in the Fengxian Palace." Xu Lingyi lowered her head and asked her to put on a crown for him, and said softly, "The emperor announced that I would enter the palace to persuade the Queen Mother." ”
Eleven Niang was dumbfounded: "It's better to find Jianning Hou and Shouchangbo if you want to go!" They're brothers and sisters! ”
"The emperor also announced that the Marquis of Jianning and Shouchangbo entered the palace." Xu Lingyi said calmly, "So I specially sent someone to inform Princess Fucheng." The emperor's private affairs are naturally handled by the emperor's relatives. ”
Eleven Niang couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "Master Hou is so cunning. I didn't want to get involved, and I was afraid that the emperor would not be able to resist the people of the Yang family, so he pushed Princess Fucheng out as a shield. Be careful that her old man comes back to you to settle accounts. ”
"Then they have to be free to settle accounts with me!" Xu Lingyi twisted her cheeks affectionately, laughed and turned to leave.
