No matter what, when you enter the door, you are a guest, Xiaowan still knows how to be polite, she greeted her with a smile on her face, and asked Yue Huaiyin to sit inside.

Miss Yue once helped her save Su Su and Aunt Chen, and also took them in to work, Xiaowan will not be ungrateful, nor will she repay virtue with resentment, but she can't resist the instinctive thoughts in her heart, she really doesn't like to see her with her father-in-law, even if she is not good, she admits it.

But Yue Huaiyin was really unkind today, and after sitting down, he actually said to Xiaowan: "I have something I want to discuss with Shopkeeper Ling alone, Xiaowan, can you avoid it?" ”

Xiaowan felt uncomfortable, sat down on the side, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I won't quarrel with you, I'll just sit on the side, you can talk." ”

Ling Chaofeng walked slowly, but he was calm and generous: "Miss Yue, what are you talking about?" ”

Yue Huaiyin smiled embarrassedly, and said: "Although the inn didn't publicize this matter, I happened to meet that day, and some words circulated in the town from the state capital, I heard that the little brother of Ershan was going to take the college examination on the fifteenth of this month, but he was disqualified by the prefect?" ”

Ling Chaofeng said: "I didn't expect it to be passed out, thank you Miss Yue for your concern, it's fine." ”

Yue Huaiyin raised his eyebrows slightly: "It's okay?" ”

Ling Chaofeng said kindly: "I can still deal with a little trouble, and Miss Lao Yue has to worry about it." ”

Yue Huaiyin pressed down on his stupid mood, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I am also too careful, on the prefect's side, I can say something a little, I originally wanted to...... That's it. She said gently, "Ershan will definitely be able to be admitted to Xiucai, and when I go to Jingcheng Township to take the test in August, remember to invite me to drink a glass of wine." ”

Ling Chaofeng said with a smile: "Miss Yue's auspicious words, you will definitely be invited when the time comes." ”

Aunt Zhang came from the back kitchen, saw Yue Huaiyin there, but was very polite, saying that Uncle Biao made a snack and tasted it together, Yue Huaiyin did not refuse, and sat dry for half an hour before saying goodbye, Xiaowan and Aunt Zhang were sent to the door, and Ling Chaofeng had already been driven back upstairs by her.

Yue Huaiyin, as always, didn't show any emotion on her face, but after getting in the car, she couldn't help but glance upstairs, she hadn't had a chance to take a closer look at the scene in the inn, and she didn't know which window was standing Ling Chaofeng.

And in that window, there are Ling Chaofeng and Xiaowan's beds, which are their gentleness.

She felt that a man like Ling Chaofeng would not feel her kindness, no matter how she showed her kindness, with Mu Xiaowan in his eyes, there would be no other women, unless one day, Mu Xiaowan disappeared.

I thought that one day I would pluck up the courage to ask Xiaowan if she could accept her, even if it was a concubine, as long as she could be Ling Chaofeng's woman, but now that nothing has happened, Mu Xiaowan will not deal with her. saved Su Su and Aunt Chen's kindness at the beginning, is that it?

The carriage slowly came up towards Baisha Town, Yue Huaiyin was crazy, and before she knew it, she had arrived at the door of the store, she came back to her senses, thought all the way, and didn't know how to make Mu Xiaowan disappear, kill people and set fires, she still couldn't do it after all.

When I entered the store, I saw Xiaocui running up and whispered to her: "Miss, Laifu next door said that the two women over there, the one who tied the flower headscarf is Xiaowan's stepmother." ”

Yue Huaiyin's heart trembled, ordered Xiaocui to retreat, walked slowly, and said kindly: "Excuse me, you are Xiaowan's mother." ”

Xu and Aunt Wang turned around and looked at the beautiful woman in front of them in a daze, why did they suddenly mention Xiaowan?

They came to the town today to rip cloth, they had heard about Siyun Pavilion for a long time, and they had always been very curious, so they specially dressed up neatly and wanted to come and visit today.

And as soon as they arrived at the door, the guys in the store were warmly invited, there was no other rouge shop in the dog eyes of the people of the problem, the two of them entered the door carefully and looked at it for a long time, the thing is really exquisite, but the rouge gouache is too expensive, can not afford it.

"Auntie, Xiaowan and I are friends, and the people in the store don't recognize you, so I'm lazy, you sit here." Yue Huaiyin instructed his subordinates to prepare tea, and naturally they had to give them some rouge gouache.

Aunt Wang and Xu didn't understand, how did Mu Xiaowan talk to her friends about family affairs, and this Boss Yue was so polite to her?

It wasn't until they left Siyun Pavilion with a big bag and a small bag that they didn't understand, so Aunt Wang said: "Maybe it's Xiaowan who wants to save face, and Ling Chaofeng has to socialize with these shopkeepers, and if you want to say something decent, you don't necessarily mean that she is being ...... at home Ahem. ”

Aunt Wang knew that the Xu family did not admit that she had abused her stepdaughter.

Xu touched the bottles and cans in the baggage, and said, "So many things, four or five taels of silver." ”

Aunt Wang touched her face: "Our two old faces also have a chance to wipe rouge, let's try it when we go back." ”

Xu pouted, not very happy: "You are good, you are dressed up in a demonic manner, which makes your old king happy." As for me, I don't see him a few times a year, you really don't know, that old thing is getting more and more useless now, this time I have been back for so long, I have served him with good food and drink, and I have only given it a few times, and it is awkward. ”

Aunt Wang smiled: "I asked you to grab the tonics, you are reluctant to pay, he is working hard outside, can he not be tired when he comes back?" Rolling his eyes, he said with a smile, "Having said that, this boss Yue is so polite, let's take a look after a while, if it's still like this, it's really polite, from time to time to get some rouge powder, and sell it to others in the village." ”

Xu Shi immediately came to his senses and said, "I can sell these in my hands." ”

Inexplicably, because of Mu Xiaowan, Xu felt in her heart that she must not let go of this big fat meat, she must think of ideas to get more from the Lingxiao Inn.

When I got home, I worked with Aunt Wang to grease and powder, and when I stopped in the yard, I attracted other women, and even the gentlemen who passed by teased them: "Where did you come from, the white-skinned girl?" He was scolded by the spicy Xu.

The days passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was February 13, and he had done everything that the Meng Governor asked Ling Chaofeng to do, just because his daughter committed suicide to resist marriage and cut off the relationship between her in-laws, and the Meng Governor's Mansion urgently needed to re-encircle the high-ranking officials in the capital, and he had already learned from the prefect that Ling Chaofeng was here and had a lot of dealings with the high-ranking officials and magnates in Beijing.

In any case, it is a fact that Ling Chu trespassed into the official residence, and the Meng Governor's Mansion can justifiably revoke his reference qualifications, Ling Chaofeng is hard, and it is bound to alarm the above, if Jingzhong knows that Ling Chu is acting recklessly, even if Ershan is admitted all the way to the capital with his talents, I am afraid that it will affect his career and future.

Ling Chaofeng weighed it again and again and decided to meet the requirements of Governor Meng first. Now, it is the day to wait for the fifteenth exam, and the final result, fortunately, the marking of the paper has nothing to do with the Meng Governor's Mansion, and Ling Chaofeng does not have to worry about him daring to interfere with it.

On that day, Uncle Biao packed up his simple luggage and was going to go out with Ershan, they rented a room in an inn near the branch field to facilitate access to the science field, and Ling Chaofeng would also go the day after tomorrow, and Xiaowan and Aunt Zhang naturally had to follow to join in the fun.

At this moment, they sent their grandfather and son out, and they were telling each other, but they saw a beggar looking familiar young man walking slowly on the side of the road, and when they got closer, they recognized it, it was Meng Lianyi.

"Miss Meng......" Xiaowan happily wanted to run forward, but was stopped by Aunt Zhang and dragged her into the store.

Uncle Biao coughed dryly and went to pull the carriage, and Meng Lianyi walked straight to Ershan.

Ershan looked at her blankly, and only came back to his senses after a while: "Miss Meng, you, why did you run out, you look weak." ”

Lian Yi smiled: "Of course I can come out, otherwise how would I have met you before?" In fact, no one in the family cares about me, and now that the capital doesn't want me anymore, no one cares about me anymore, and it's easy for me to figure it out. ”

Ershan took a closer look at her face, there was no black paint today, but a natural dull and emaciated, sick, in the end, it was hard, so thin that her chin was sharp and thin, so pitiful.

"I'm feeling better." Lian Yi said, "Where are you going?" Fortunately, I came by chance, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to meet it, and I wouldn't have been able to wait for you outside the department. ”

Ershan said: "I'm going to live in an inn outside the department, it turns out that Miss Meng also knows that I'm going to take the reference exam?" ”

Lian Yi shook his head, took out a small talisman from his arms, and handed it over: "This is for you, thank you for picking up the purse for me, what I asked for in the Confucius Temple, I will definitely be able to bless you to be admitted to Xiucai." ”

Ershan was noncommittal, and he was afraid that Miss Meng would have trouble stretching out her hand, so he took it.

Lian Yi asked softly: "That day, you came to my house and asked me for something?" ”

Ershan looked at her with flickering eyes, pursed his lips and said, "I...... Lose sleep over something...... You. ”

At this time, Ling Chaofeng came out of the store with a serious face, asked Uncle Biao to bring the carriage, and ordered Ershan to take the carriage and leave with a cold face.

Ershan didn't dare to disobey him, and he turned back one step at a time, but he followed Uncle Biao in the end.

The carriage drove away, but Ling Chaofeng said to Lian Yi: "Miss Meng, you will cause trouble to Ershan if you come like this, now I will send you back." ”

Meng Lianyi shook his head: "It's okay, they won't find out that I'm gone, Shopkeeper Ling, I have no use value for my father." ”

Ling Chaofeng said coldly: "It's just what you think. He was very serious, not half polite, and set up a carriage and forcibly sent Meng Lianyi away.

Xiaowan was very angry on the side, and she didn't dare to talk much, thinking that Ling Chaofeng was not close to people and beat mandarin ducks, and when Ling Chaofeng came back, she didn't talk to him for a long time.

If so, until February 15, Ling Chaofeng took her and Aunt Zhang to the science field, where candidates gathered, they met with Uncle Biao, and Ershan was already waiting in line to submit the name plate to check the household registration, ready to enter the examination room.

But when it was finally his turn, the invigilator looked at the name tag and said coldly, "Ling Chu, you are no longer in the reference list." ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw two yacha come forward, erect Ershan, and push him back into the crowd, Ershan staggered a few steps, and Ling Chaofeng stood behind him and blocked it.

In the science field, Governor Meng swaggered out, whispered to several invigilators, and looked at Ling Chaofeng with a sneer, sure enough, this old fox had changed his mind.

But at this moment, someone hurriedly pushed away the crowd, ran to the front of Meng Zhifu, and whispered a few words in a panic.

Lord Meng's face changed suddenly, and he immediately said: "Hurry up, carry the sedan chair to meet you, quickly disperse these people, and make way for General Wei." ”
