"At that time, after the township examination, I originally planned to rush home to reunite with you and my uncle on the evening of the fifteenth month, but I thought that the list would be released three days later, and I was anxious to know the results, and I was afraid of delaying something, so I wanted to live in the Gongyuan until the day of the eighteenth list, I never thought that night the thatched house accidentally heard someone talking about the volume, Xie Yuan or something, and I didn't care too much about it at the time, but the next night someone stuffed a note for me, which said that if I am not on the list, don't make a noise, otherwise my life will be difficult to preserve, I began to be inexplicable, Later, I understood the meaning of the note, which means that I will definitely not be on the list, it is estimated that someone has taken my place, and sure enough, the list is out, I fell off the list, twenty-five people, I didn't even rank at the end, I was disheartened and didn't dare to make a statement, and I didn't dare to go home to see Uncle Changting and the neighbors, and I didn't know where to go when I got out of the gate of the tribute courtyard, and a few people came to me and asked me to go with them, thinking that it would be like this anyway, so what's the matter, and then they brought me to the current courtyard. ”

As soon as Qin Shuyu said this, Hua Wai understood, this courtyard belonged to Ye Qinglin, and Ye Qinglin must have sent someone to stuff it to him, but for Hua Wai and a few people, is it necessary for Ye Qinglin to refuse to say it to her all the time? What is there to hide from them?

"You think right, it's Ye Qinglin's eldest son, if you have read the list text, you should remember that Xie Yuan on the list at that time was called Ye Hanlin, he was the second brother of the eldest prince, it was he who took my Xie Yuan, and my volume became his volume, originally, for those of us who have no status, it is not uncommon to be taken away from fame, as long as you have talent, you can still take the exam again after three years, but the eldest prince told me that I don't need to take the exam again, and Xie Yuan will be the descendant of the Ye family in three years, I thought, I don't have to be on the list to be the first in Xie Yuan, I can have one of the twenty-five places, but the eldest prince said that my volume has become someone else's volume, as long as I appear there and open my mouth, others will be exposed, no one will let me live on the list, not for me, as long as it is talented and can get the first place in the exam, no matter who it is, it will be their victim, what they want is Xie Yuan. ”

"But their Hou Mansion is already a prince and nobleman, so why fight for this Xie Yuan, if he wins the first name, Xie Yuan is only a clerk as an official, are they still a county official? No, Ye Qinglin asked you not to take the test again in three years or even in the future, saying that Xie Yuan will always be a descendant of the Ye family, how many county officials does the Hou Mansion want? Do you want to spread your children and grandchildren all over the country to become county officials and want to rebel? That doesn't make sense, does it? Besides, with Ye Qinglin's reputation, you should know better than us, how do you know that he won't lie to you? "Hua Cry is not that she doesn't believe in Qin Shuyu, but that she doesn't believe in Ye Qinglin.

"There is no need for the eldest prince to lie to me, because at that time, if I suspected the list and went to the examiner to question, I was afraid that it would be as he said, the most important thing is that he recited a township exam paper more than 20 years ago in front of me, and you should be able to recite that content, it is the one that Uncle Changting returned home and hung on the wall after he failed the township test that year, so you should be able to understand that after Uncle Changting watched me silently write out his own scroll at home, he came to Ningyang City to do something on the second day, and he was also ill because of this."

"You mean, my father fell off the list twice back then, and it was for the Ye family? He was only sick when he understood this time? Hua Wai stood up and clenched her fists.

"If not, why can the eldest prince recite it, the eldest prince is disgusted with all this, he has never been willing to participate in the imperial examination, and he has no fame so far, as for which of the Ye family is the top one, the eldest prince did not say, I think it should be his uncle's person, what does the Hou Mansion want so much Xie Yuan to do, the eldest prince doesn't say, I don't dare to ask, you say that you want to rebel, I don't think it's like it." Qin Shuyu sighed deeply.

"So you really didn't sell the death deed to the Hou Mansion, but Ye Qinglin saw that you took you in pity, and gave you twelve taels of silver to take home for your father's treatment, so that you were full of gratitude to go to the soup for him to work hard? How can I feel that this is a pit dug specifically for you, so that you are willing to jump down and be grateful to him? "Hua Wei always felt that there was something hidden in this.

"Your brother Qin Shuyu and I are empty-handed, I have no long things, who does the eldest prince of the Hou Mansion want to sell his life, why bother to dig a pit for me so hard? It was I who said that I wanted to find an errand and earn money to treat Uncle Changting, so the eldest prince left me behind, and told the government that I was selling a death deed, even if one day. I let the second son recognize him and will not come to ask for my life again, and the next person is no longer qualified to take the imperial examination again, so Brother Du Jian said, the three of you go back and forth in front of the house for fear that you will make trouble, and I don't know how much you know, if you accidentally say the wrong thing, you may get into trouble, so I brought you here. ”

"But, even so, Ye Qinglin continues to do evil things every day, hearing his notoriety, children don't dare to cry, such a person, do you really believe him so much?"

"I don't care how others spread the reputation of the eldest prince, sometimes it's better to listen more than to see with your own eyes, I don't think the eldest prince is like this kind of person."

"Then what did You Wenjunshan and I see with our own eyes? Okay, let's not talk about Ye Qinglin, let's talk about what you are doing in the imperial capital for nearly two years, why is there no news at all, I have been waiting for you here with Youwen and Junshan for more than half a year, you should always explain this. Youwen and Junshan also nodded hurriedly.

"Yin'er, you are still young, there are some things that I can't say or say, and you and Youwen and Junshan don't need to know, this is protecting you." Qin Shuyu was forced to ask with a helpless face.

"Brother, I will be seventeen in a few days, don't treat me as a child, I don't know what you do outside every day, how can you make me feel at ease? Forget it, you person, if you don't want to say it, you won't say it, I won't force you. ”

Sometimes I really hope that someone can appear, but he doesn't have a ghost, Ye Qinglin hasn't come these days, and he is really depressed.

After Qin Shuyu recovered from his injury, he went back to the Hou Mansion to do things, and he would come back here at night to sleep in the same room with Youwen and Junshan.

Qin Shuyu came back very early today, and brought back a few packs of dim sum, it was Hua Wai's birthday today, he was already seventeen years old, the family happily swept away all the dim sum, Hua Wai was still the first time to celebrate his birthday, how could he still take care of the days when he was poor and couldn't eat enough in Taoyuan Village?

After the trouble, they went to rest, Hua Weeping still wanted to go to the study to read, and as soon as she sat down, she found that there was an extremely delicate white hosta on the bookcase.

Hua Wai ran behind the screen in two steps, that guy, did you remember this place?
