Chapter 165: Returning Home to Prepare for the Exam

Entering August, autumn is just around the corner.

Chen Shaoan packed up his things and left Zhengyang Academy, where he had been studying for three months, and returned to the Chen Mansion in the capital to wait for the exam.

came back with him, as well as Zhou Yao.

Originally, the old lady was happily sitting in the hall waiting for her son, but the moment she saw Zhou Yao, the smile on her face disappeared immediately.

"Zhou Yao, didn't you run away, why did you come back shamelessly? Do you still want to face? The old lady asked.

Zhou Yao glanced at Chen Shao'an, and then quickly knelt in front of the old lady.

"Back to the old lady, you misunderstood, I didn't run away, but because I missed my uncle very much, I chased him to Zhengyang Academy......"

"What did you say?"

Hearing this explosive news, the old lady frowned tightly.

Her voice involuntarily sharpened, "Say, where have you been?" ”

"Mother," Chen Shaoan said at this time, "Don't blame Zhou Yao......"

"You also know that I have always been a picky eater, Zhou Yao was afraid that I would not eat well in Zhengyang Academy, so she applied to be a cook in the academy, in order to take better care of me."

Of course, this care is all-encompassing, not just eating and drinking.

"I'm asking Zhou Yao, don't talk!" The old lady scolded Chen Shao'an.

Seeing his mother so serious for the first time, Chen Shaoan was startled, and because of his mother's majesty, he could only close his mouth tightly.

At this time, Zhou Yao, who was kneeling on the ground, also became nervous.

The old lady stared at her.

"The management of Zhengyang Academy is very strict, even the cooks are strictly selected, why can you go in without being noticed?"

Zhou Yao knew that the old lady was smart and saw the clues.

But she couldn't tell the truth.

How so?

Said that she drugged one of the cooks, made her lie in bed for more than half a month, and forced the kitchen to go out to find a helper?

If outsiders knew that she had done this, she would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

That's Zhengyang Academy, not a place where people can be fooled at will.

If it weren't for the rest of her life, she wouldn't have fought so desperately.

Soon, Zhou Yao clarified her thoughts and explained to the old lady.

"Old lady, when I left the Chen Mansion and chased Shao'an all the way, my idea was actually very simple......

"That is, to find a house close to the academy, looking forward to occasionally going out on the street and maybe seeing Shao'an, that's all."

"But suddenly one day," Zhou Yao said excitedly, "The news that the academy is looking for a cook came out, I signed up with the mentality of giving it a try, and then I entered the academy as a cook in such a daze......"

"In the dark, God is also taking pity on me, so he sent me to Shao'an's side, old lady, don't you say that's the reason?"

After Zhou Yao's arrangement, it was obviously something she was thinking about, and it was immediately full of the flavor of heaven's will.

The young maidservants who were waiting in the hall were all thrilled when they heard such a story about fate.

Subconsciously, young women who have not experienced the blows of the world are always inclined to the beautiful stories made up by Zhou Yao.

However, the old lady is not a twenty-eight girl, even if Zhou Yao said naturally and frankly, she didn't believe it anyway.

Because, she saw the occasional flicker in Zhou Yao's eyes, which must be a sign of weakness.

With this impression, she looked at her returning son again, and only felt that his son had a little more decadent atmosphere.

Originally, she thought that An'er's current blue and black might be due to staying up late to study.

But after seeing Zhou Yao's indescribable expressions, she thought of another direction from the blue and black under her son's eyes.

Since then, the old lady has been even more dissatisfied with Zhou Yao.

"Zhou Yao, I don't care what kind of mood you are in when you leave the Chen Mansion, and how did you go to the academy to take care of An'er?"

"In short, as an aunt in the house, if you go out without reporting in advance and leaving without saying a word, anyone can think that you ran away."

"Where are you in Chen's Mansion?" The old lady said, "Is it such an unruly place where you come without saying hello and leave without saying hello?" ”

"Old lady, Zhou Yao is wrong."

Sensing that the old lady didn't seem to want to skip this matter easily, Zhou Yao was anxious.

"You can punish Zhou Yao as much as you want, just ask the old lady to forgive me this time, I will definitely abide by the rules of the house in the future and never do it again!"

While begging for the old lady's forgiveness, he gave Chen Shao'an a look for help.

She hoped that Chen Shaoan could say a few more words for herself.

However, Chen Shaoan has few opinions, and he is either led by his mother or Zhou Yao on weekdays.

The mother and the beloved woman weighed each other, and he didn't know which side to help for a while, so he simply continued to choose to be silent.

At this moment, the shadow who had been sitting silently watching the play next to him spoke.

"Old lady, after all, Aunt Zhou gave birth to a child for the Chen family, and there is no merit and hard work."

"This palace thinks that Zhou Yao is really worried about the horse, so she left the house as soon as her head was hot, it is rare that she has a true affection for the horse, old lady, you shouldn't blame her!"

Waiting for Su Nianyun to speak, everyone reacted, and the princess was still in the hall.

From beginning to end, all of them ignored the princess.

Chen Shaoan's eyes were complicated.

After a while, he said, "Princess, thank you for being so tolerant of Zhou Yao, I ......"

"Donkey, what are you talking about, it's not called tolerance, it's just that you think that the colt deserves to be treated like this by Zhou Yao."

Su Nianyun took out himself and affirmed that the love between the two was stronger than Jin.

Immediately, she looked at the old lady again.

"Old lady, in the eyes of this palace, Zhou Yao's sincerity is rare."

"You see that in addition to staying up late to read books, the body of the colt has grown a lot fat by Zhou Yao!"

Su Nianyun affirmed the relationship between the two, and began to affirm Zhou Yao's merits.

Of course, some drugs will hollow out a person's body, but the appearance still makes people look good.

"Okay," the old lady glanced at Su Nianyun, "The princess is the main wife, if you think it's okay, I, an old woman, naturally can't take care of your yard." ”

She also saw that An'er really rekindled her old feelings for Zhou Yao.

Now that An'er's big exam is imminent, she doesn't need to find anyone unhappy at this time, everything will be said after her son is in a good mood to participate in the autumn season.

"And ......"

The old lady looked at Chen Shao'an, she could ignore Zhou Yao's affairs for now.

"You take the time to check out Jasper, she has something for you to see."

"Jasper?" Chen Shaoan was stunned for a moment, "Mother, what do you mean by this?" ”

In his eyes, Jasper is a maid who comes and goes at a moment's notice.

Give her another identity, at most she is a girl in the room, and her mother just let the girl serve her, why should he go to see her?

Jasper, what will you show yourself?

Seeing her son's stunned appearance, the old lady smiled on her face, "You stupid boy, I guess you can't guess ......"

"Uncle," Zhao's mother reminded excitedly beside her, "Biyu is happy!" ”

"Joy? Jasper? Chen Shaoan said incredulously.

"But no, I asked when it was, and Jasper said that you came back last time to attend your second brother's wedding......"
