Liu Dongning said in the letter that the gentleman he had invited at home was old and sick, and could not always guide him in his homework, and his father Liu Fu was worried that it would delay his studies, and remembered that Kangcheng Academy was open in February, so he asked him to take his wife to study in the south, and also explained that it was not necessary to rush to this year's township examination, and it was best to study seriously for a few years, and then it was not too late. Therefore, after the couple arrived in Cannes, they wanted to find a house to settle down, and I am afraid that they would have to ask their brothers and sisters-in-law to take care of them in the next few years.

Wen Yi didn't believe it at all. The gentleman invited by Second Uncle Liu is a famous teacher in the countryside in Heng'an, and he was still teaching apprentices before he arrived at Liu's house, and it has only been a few months? How did you become old and sick and unable to teach? Moreover, Liu Dongning obviously intended to participate in this year's county examination and government examination earlier, and he would win the fame of Xiucai no matter what. Although the students of Cannes Academy can participate in the imperial examination, regardless of where they are from, they will all be referred to in the academy, but that must be registered a few months in advance, and now the county examination is about to start in less than two months...... When you're done with that, how much time do you have left to prepare for the exam?

If Second Uncle Liu plans to let his eldest son study in the academy for a few years, and then take the Xiucai exam, it would be too low-key. No matter how bad Liu Dongning is, a talent can always be tested. Then Second Uncle Liu sent his son to study at this time, what was his idea?

Wen Yi turned countless thoughts in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, but said with a faint smile: "It seems that I really have to buy a house, otherwise I really can't live in it." ”

Wen Hui's face turned a little pale, and she didn't speak in a daze.

Wen Yi thought that she was still concerned about Liu Dongning's affairs, so she diverted the conversation: "I don't know if Gu Zhuang has the news?" The fifth sister wants to come to live in Cannes, so it is much more convenient to go back to her parents' house. ”

Wen Hui sneered: "Her father and mother are naturally happy, but she herself is afraid that she is not very happy to go back to her parents' house, right?" ”

Wen Yi was stunned: "How do you say this?" ”

"Uncle Liu's family is not as good as it used to be." There was a hint of mockery in Wen Hui's eyes, "King Zheng rebelled, and the Dongping Palace's palace was torn apart, and I don't know what the result is." Uncle Liu has such an in-law, and he has no official position, God knows if he will be affected by his sister's family? The people of our clan must be anxious to know the outcome of this matter, so they are waiting for the fifth sister to come back and ask. But when the fifth sister first got married, she advertised that she was a young grandmother in the university scholar's mansion, and now that the university scholar is gone, her in-laws may still be unlucky, how can she be the best face person, how can she be willing to fall in front of her mother's family? Look, when she arrives here, unless someone from Gu Zhuang comes to the door, she will definitely not take the initiative to go back."

Wen Yi was surprised: "Where did it get to this point?" The distance between the two places is only one day, and the fifth sister is reluctant to go back to her parents' house to ask her parents for peace. The second uncle is still in his hometown."

"Then you just see" Wen Hui stood up, "How can a person like her know how to do superficial work?" At this point, she followed her biological mother, and in vain she grew up in front of the second wife since she was a child, but she did not learn half of the wrist of the person."

She raised her feet and was about to walk out, but Wen Yi couldn't help but say: "Sixth sister can only laugh at others, but she doesn't want to think about herself." If you were a superficial person, where did you get to where you are today? ”

Wen Hui stood still and didn't look back: "What if I can do superficial work?" Others refuse to listen, and I can't even convince my own mother and daughter, let alone others? It's just that if you have a day of freedom, you will enjoy it for a day," and then he went out.

Wen Yi heard that there was something in her words, and wanted to ask clearly, but she was worried about the letter in her hand, sighed, and ordered someone to send the letter to come in, ask about the itinerary of Liu Dongning and his wife, and at the same time send someone to the Kangnan garrison to inform her husband.

There are still a few days to come, and the letter will be delivered at this time, what have Liu Dongning and Wen Xian done

The next day, Liu Dongxing came back, read his brother's letter several times, and called the little maid to ask for many details, so he kept frowning.

Wen Yi said: "Sixth Sister has a guess, I think it's a little interesting. Is the second uncle worried about Princess Dongping, for fear that the family will be affected, so he sent the second brother and sister over early, and wanted to ask you to shelter one or two? ”

Liu Dongxing sighed: "I'm afraid it really means that." If it weren't for that, how could Brother Ning suddenly change his mind and not participate in the scientific examination this year? He had already wanted to win a fame so that he could suppress his younger brothers, but if the second uncle was really entangled with the Dongping Palace, it might not be a good thing for Brother Ning to gain fame this year. Really, what kind of confusion did the second uncle make? I warned him a long time ago not to get involved with the Dongping Palace. Neither the saint nor the crown prince are people who love to anger innocents, as long as he doesn't get dizzy himself, no matter how big the disaster in Dongping Wangfu is, he will not be implicated. I'm still the nephew of Princess Dongping, isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still entrusted with important tasks? ”

Wen Yi asked: "In this case, how should I arrange them when they come?" ”

Liu Dongxing thought for a while: "At this time, it's too late to sign up for school, you first send someone to get him a house, buy it or rent it, find a place that is not big, not too small and inconspicuous, as long as you can accommodate the two of them and a few servants, let him come, first visit a few famous gentlemen in and out of the city, find a museum to study for a few months, and wait for next year to talk about entering the academy." I hope that Brother Ning is a sensible person, don't make your name too loud, and don't shout about my relationship with him everywhere. If the second uncle is fine, then it is naturally good, he can also get a good reputation for humility and courtesy, if the second uncle has something, he is not afraid that there will be people who are not long-sighted to sue him. ”

So, is it to be as unassuming as possible? Wen Yi knew what to expect, and hurriedly agreed.

Liu Dongxing then hesitated a little and stopped talking. Wen Yi asked, "What else is going on?" Did you say all of that? ”

Liu Dongxing sighed: "Let's just live in Kangnan, there are your grandmother and a few brothers and sisters here, naturally they can live, Mrs. Gu and Miss Sixth are afraid that they will have to find another house, when you find a house for Brother Ning, it is best to stay away from their mother and daughter." Although it's all in the past, but this place is close to Pingyang, there will always be insiders, in case someone says that your sixth sister and Ning brother almost became relatives, the faces of both families are not good-looking, and even your reputation will be implicated. ”

Wen Yi frowned: "I'm not afraid of this." It's already happened, can you still stop people's mouths? Besides, whether it is the eldest aunt or the second brother and sister, they will not allow others to talk about this, some people gossip, they can take care of themselves, and I can't interfere in it. Yesterday, the eldest aunt had already gone to Han Gongzi, saying that it was an appointment, and Han Gongzi moved out of the house where he lives in advance, and the house was rented to the eldest aunt and the sixth sister. It's just that I think it's a little inappropriate to do this, it's impossible for the eldest aunt to stay in Cannes with the sixth sister for a long time, and the sixth sister is alone with a servant, even if there are one or two elders to accompany her, she can't live in such a big house. Not to mention evicting the landlord from his own house, which is a bit ......"

Liu Dongxing rubbed the corners of his forehead: "Does the eldest lady really like Han Yunwu as her son-in-law?" What is this called...... If not, there is nothing wrong with offering a higher price. The house where Han Yunwu lives now is already empty, and he has already had the intention to make a move, but he can't find a suitable and generous buyer, and he has lived there for a long time, so he is a little reluctant. With his family's current situation, it is nothing to sell the house, and he has other places to live. In this case, let's buy the house we rented earlier and give it to Brother Ning and the two of them to live in. ”

Wen Yi was a little surprised: "Is it there?" But isn't there ...... "Ever died?"

Liu Dongxing smiled: "It's a quiet place, and it's only a few steps away from the academy, so it's really suitable for those who want to study to live there." Ruoning and his family were reluctant, so they just had to find it themselves. I'm just their brother in the next room, and I'm not my own father and mother, so I can manage so much? ”

Wen Yi understood, laughed at it, and asked again: "The yamen has started to run errands, how are you doing in the town?" I've packed up this side, so I'd better go ahead of time, right? I really don't worry about you living alone in the town. When my grandmother comes, I will come back to greet her. ”

Liu Dongxing shook his head: "Where can you pull away?" After a few ** sixth brothers, they will arrive, and when they settle down, grandmother will also arrive. You can stay here and arrange your chores in peace. I also have a few mothers-in-law there, and they are taken care of by people for food, clothing, housing and transportation. ”

Wen Yi said: "Then take Shu Ping with you, he is more thoughtful." ”

Liu Dongxing still disagreed: "Shu Ping is gone, there is not even a person around you who goes out to run errands, how can I rest assured?" Besides, I still have to rely on him to be the eyes and ears of Cannes, and I know about it from time to time. Although the people in the General Administration Department know a lot, I am no longer their own people, and I can't always rely on them to inquire about things. ”

Wen Yi hurriedly asked, "What?" But what's the trouble in government affairs? Is there an echo of the recital you presented earlier? ”

"How can it be so fast?" Liu Dongxing said with a smile, "It will take another month or two." But you can rest assured, Lao Hu and I both think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will most likely agree. Even if we didn't admit it, it was nothing, we made a contribution, and even if there was something wrong with the proposal, he would not punish us. ”

Wen Yi calmed down slightly, and there was a smile on her face: "I heard that General Cheng is about to be promoted?" ”

"Have you heard about that too?" Liu Dongxing smiled happily, "This time, the military attachés who countered the rebellion, but anyone with merit can be promoted, Cheng Jinxia and the three or four of them were originally of higher rank, most of them were going to be promoted to other places, I finally don't have to be restrained anymore, and the remaining few will stay in Kangnan if they are promoted, and they will still miss me in my heart." When this time passes, I will be able to enjoy leisure, and when the time comes, I will accompany you for a few days, and it will be regarded as compensation for the hard work of the lady recently, how about it? ”

Wen Yi pursed her lips and glanced at him: "Listen, who knows what you will have to do to keep you busy?" You've said this a few times. Not to mention, just the pile of rotten things in King Kang's Mansion, we can't relax until the holy decree is issued. Anyway, those people are also protected by you and me, but they are not irrelevant people. ”

Liu Dongxing sighed: "It seems that our husband and wife are really working hard, but ...... Now is the time when it's okay, so don't say these words. He approached Wen Yi with a smile: "Good lady, I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss you to death......"

Wen Yi blushed and slapped him back gently: "It's not serious, there are still people out there......".
