Xu Jingshu pursed her lower lip, not knowing what to say.

Yan Mingye hurriedly said: "I don't care, anyway, I'm content if I'm stronger than before, mother, you can consider marrying me a daughter-in-law." ”

Shen scolded, "What kind of marriage is a daughter-in-law, you are so unobtrusive, which girl can look up to you." ”

"Why can't I look down on it, my brother-in-law is the Marquis of Zhenbei, my sister can do business, and my brother and sister-in-law are good, why can't I look down on it." Yan Mingye is quite reasonable,

Yan Mingqiao didn't speak all the time, and smiled when she heard the words, "The list hasn't been released yet, now it's a little early, let's still look forward to passing the exam." ”

Shen said: "Yes, I'll talk about it when the list is released." Mingxuan, don't talk well about your grandfather and grandmother, after the list is released, there will be an exam next year, no matter if you pass the exam or not, now is not the time to relax. ”

Yan Mingxuan understood, "Don't worry, mother." ”

Xu Jingshu nodded, and someone from the Hou Mansion of Anyang asked, and she said that she didn't know how.

There are many children of the family who take the exam in Shengjing City, and if they fail the exam, they are all watched.

The list will be released in early September, and there are more than 20 days left, so wait slowly.

Yan Ming is strict, and she won't talk nonsense, she made a wish, her mother also went to Vientiane Temple to make incense, and the brothers also worked hard, and they did everything they had to do, so they could only put it on the list.

On September 13, there will be a trial list, these days the osmanthus is fragrant, and there are more people waiting there in the dragon and tiger wall.

The family operated a little, hoping to glorify the lintel, and the poor family hoped to revitalize the lintel, as for those who came from a peasant family, they used the strength of the whole clan to provide a scholar, and if they passed the examination, it was the hope of the whole family.

Even if he can only be delegated to be a petty official after the promotion, and he still needs to be dotted with silver, it is still a very important step.

The little guy in the Yanguo Mansion came, and Zhiyuantang also came, but he was afraid that he would miss it.

The two of them counted one in front and one in the back, I don't know how many they counted, and the little guy in Zhiyuan Hall said excitedly: "I'm hit!" The eldest prince is hit! ”

Yan Mingxuan's name was impressively on it, at the number three hundred and twenty-sixth. The ranking is not high, think about it, there are more than 2,000 people who take the test, and it is a lot to be able to take the top few tests.

It's just that if you look at it again, you can't find Yan Mingye's name, and it seems that she has fallen off the list.

But there was a son in the house who passed the exam, and it was a happy event, and the two rushed back to report the good news. Although Yan Mingye fell off the list, he was still young and would have a chance in the future.

It is a great joy to move in the middle of the list, from a serious illness at the beginning, to going out for a long trip, and now it is not easy to come all the way. Especially this year, Yan Mingxuan almost lived in the academy in the next few months, but fortunately, he was willing to come to the end.

Xu Jingshu is the most excited, her husband can be admitted, and they also have a daughter, everyone is looking forward to such a day.

Even if Yan Mingye fell off the list, it was not good to be too happy, but the two were brothers, and Yan Mingye was also happy for his brother.

Shen Shi was very pleased, "It's good to win, prepare well for the test, and don't be discouraged by Ming Ye." ”

Yan Guogong is going to take office today, and I don't know the news yet, but the Shen family has already asked people to tell it, and they are connected to Shou'an Hall and several other courtyards, and they are also happy and happy when Ming'er gives people money.

Yan Mingqiao saw that there was no worry on the second brother's face, and it was even more uncomfortable to comfort and persuade him all the time at this time, so it was better for everyone to be happy together.

Originally, he was also a brother, but to be honest, Yan Mingxuan was even happier than Yan Mingye himself in the exam.

The eldest brother is the eldest son and the eldest son-in-law, and he has a heavy burden on his body, and everyone is happy if he passes the exam.

He doesn't seek to soar in his life, look at the point, and his life is a little better.

Shen was happy and thought of Yan Mingze, and he didn't know how he did in the exam, Mingyue was already married, and Mingyun was in Xu Xiuxin's place, so it couldn't affect the life of the Guogong Mansion.

In the first half of this year, Xiao Yang came to the birthday banquet of the old country, and he was the eldest son of the Yu family, and the Shen family also asked Yan Mingze about it, saying that he had always been very peaceful, and he was studying in the academy, and Mr. spoke highly of him.

Yan Mingyun also wondered what the third cousin had done with such intelligence and hard work.

Shen didn't elaborate, but only instructed that he would write a letter after the release of the list, and if he passed the exam, he would take him back to Shengjing.

With the minds of Lao Guogong and Yan Guogong, they will definitely not let their capable grandsons outside. Besides, there will be a test, and I will definitely go back to Beijing.

If you don't pass the exam, you will stay in Xiaoyang and save yourself from disturbing their days.

Shen understands this truth, Yan Mingze should also understand, he knows that this is his chance to go back, and it is estimated that he will work very hard. From Su Xiaoniang's accident to Yan Mingyue almost being sent away, if Yan Mingze changed for the better, if he didn't change, with his temperament, if he wanted to calculate people, he should be very careful.

There is a saying that the heart of defense is indispensable, if Yan Mingze comes back, the Shen family must be more careful.

In early October, Xiao Yang sent a letter, saying that Yan Mingze had passed the examination and was the seventh in Xiaoyang Mansion.

Xiao Yang is different from Sheng Jing, there are few candidates, and the academy is not as good as Sheng Jing, but it is not easy for Yan Mingze to take this ranking.

Yan Guogong was overjoyed and discussed with the Shen family about taking him back, "He has been to Xiaoyang for more than a year, and if he can calm down and study, it means that he has a heart of remorse and knows that he is wrong." There are still a few months to go, and with the guidance of the teachers at Matsuyama Academy, we can go further. ”

Shen didn't speak, in Yan Guogong's opinion, Mingyue was already married, Meng Xiaoniang went to Zhuangzi, no matter whether Yan Mingze really repented or not, anyway, in his opinion, he repented. Speaking of which, their father and son are really alike, but the Shen family didn't plan to stop them, even if she didn't agree, would she try to see if Yan Mingze would let him enter the house when he came back?

"It's okay, I'll have someone prepare the carriage, and when I come back, I'll live in the original courtyard." Shen said, "But Meng's ...... If the third son is really worried about his biological mother, he will take her to live outside the house. ”

Yan Guogong paused, "It's okay, it's just that Ming Ze came back, and it didn't sound good to say that he made a mistake, otherwise he would say that he would go to Xiaoyang's hometown to worship his ancestors and do his filial piety." ”

The Shen family doesn't care, it's really back, it's also the son of the Yanguo Mansion, and it's not nice to hear if something happens.

Yan Guogong smiled, "Everything else is simple, Mrs. Hard Work arranges these." ”

Yan Mingze returned to the Gongfu at the beginning of November, he is fourteen years old this year, he has risen a lot, he wears white, and he looks inexplicably cold.

When he came back, he first went to Shou'an Hall, and then came to the main courtyard, and he kowtowed to Shen, "Mother, my son was obsessed with ghosts and did something wrong, and now he has sincerely repented." In the future, I will ask my mother to teach me, and I will live up to the hard work of my grandfather, grandmother, father and you. ”

Chapter 87: Three Years Later

Yan Mingze thought about a lot of things when he kowtowed.

In fact, Yan Mingyue's happy matter was revealed, Yan Mingze felt that he was only to blame for his poor move, if he was more thoughtful, there would be no future.

Who would have thought that Yan Mingyue would know about this, and if he did such a thing in the future, he would only be more thoughtful and ensure that nothing went wrong.

Yan Mingze never regretted it, and even felt that Yan Mingyue was a little ignorant.

He heard that Yan Mingyue was married to a concubine of the Hou Mansion at the end of August, although that person was of good character, but as a concubine, he was under the jurisdiction of the elders, and his family background was not as good as one thousandth of the Anwang Mansion.

Besides, he passed the exam, as long as he helped a little bit as an official in the future, he would be able to protect Yan Mingyue, even if he was not satisfied, he could tell him that he would think of other ways, and he didn't know why he had to make trouble with his mother.

Yan Mingyue was satisfied, Xiao Niang went to Zhuangzi, she was alone in Shengjing, hugging her mother's thigh, staying with the second sister and five sisters, and her life was quite free.

He went to Xiaoyang in disgrace, getting up early every day to study at night, but Xiaoyang was not as good as Shengjing, if he was in Shengjing, he would have been able to do better.

Yan Mingze worked very hard in Xiaoyang, except for reading, he was studying, and his aunt Yu didn't know what he had done, although he was strictly disciplined, he didn't have to worry about it at all, and in the next ten months, Yu didn't stare at him much.

After passing the exam, his aunt was very relieved to see him, because Yan Mingxu had failed the list.

After he was lifted, he wrote to Sheng Jing and then prepared his luggage back to Sheng Jing.

Yan Mingxu's homework in Xiaoyang is good, but it can also be seen that Shengjing's academy is much better than other places.

The most important thing now is the entrance examination, and if you don't pass the exam, you can't talk about anything. Whether it is the eldest brother or Yan Mingye, no one will try. You have to go back to the academy first, and Yan Mingze can bow his head to the Shen family and admit his mistakes.

Yan Mingyue hated him, his mother was wary of him, his grandfather and grandmother didn't have a good face when they saw him, he couldn't support himself in the Yanguo Mansion, and he could only try one way to go.

He hasn't gotten any news from King An's Mansion, but he heard that Prince An is dead.

Ruoyan Mingyue entered King An's Mansion at the beginning, and now she is also enjoying the life of Qingfu.

It's a pity.

Yan Mingze wanted to go back to the academy as soon as possible and make more friends, instead of staying in the Yanguo Mansion.

Yan Mingze knelt on the ground, Shen didn't let him get up for a long time, he couldn't see his expression from a height, and he didn't know if he was truly remorseful, "Since you are back, change your previous habits." Think twice before doing things in the future, love your brothers and sisters, respect your elders, and respect your teachers. Keep your feet on the ground and don't use your brains. ”

Yan Mingze's attitude was respectful, "What my mother taught. ”

Actually, Shen didn't think that he could be admitted, ordinary people, if they did something bad and were exposed, they would definitely panic, but Yan Mingze didn't. He went to Xiaoyang to be the son of the Yanguo Mansion, and he didn't have enough food and clothing, but his biological mother Meng was sent to Zhuangzi, and he didn't mention anything after he came back, let alone plead with Meng.

Obviously, he is the mastermind of this.

And in Xiao Yang, he can still concentrate on studying, and he has passed the exam, regardless of his character, this endurance is unmatched.

Shen still remembers that his eldest son fell off the list and fell seriously ill, but when such a major event happened to Yan Mingze, he was still his biological mother and sister, but he didn't have anything to do.

can only be said to be ruthless and cold-hearted. Shen didn't believe he would repent at all.

Shen said: "Since you are back, let someone take you back to the academy in a few days, and I will try to prepare well next year, you can get up, and see your biological mother when you have time." Mingyue is already married, so you don't have to bother if you have nothing to do. ”

Yan Mingze snorted, "What the mother said, the son remembers in mind." ”

Yan Mingze came back and no one went to visit, although there were many people in the courtyard, but it was very deserted, he understood that these people were Shen's eyes, and he didn't let them go outside, just waited in the house.

Yan Mingyun still has some impressions of this brother, but it is not a good impression, and she is mostly afraid.

Xu Xiuxin is a mother for the first time, to be honest, she treats Ming Yun more like her sister in the past, she asked Ming Yun if she wanted to go and see it, Ming Yun shook her head, and Xu Xiuxin didn't ask again.

Except for Yan Guogong, no one else cares about Yan Mingze's return, Yan Mingqiao still belongs to the kind of detour, can't he hide if he can't be provoked, he won't hurt people if he hides.

Fortunately, early in the morning of the second day, Yan Mingze went to the academy.

The entrance examination is imminent, and Matsuyama Academy has invited a new gentleman to give a lecture, and the more people who pass the examination, the more beneficial it will be to the reputation of the academy and the more students it can recruit.

Yan Mingze was the best among them, taking classes in the same room with the top few in Sheng Jing.

He thought that the days of coming back would be peaceful until the end of the exam, but he saw a man who he never expected to be here.

Yan Mingze couldn't figure out why Shen Yuanjing was here.

Isn't he a criminal after he has no chance to pass the imperial examination in this life, isn't he born stupid, timid and afraid of things?

Seeing Shen Yuanjing now, Yan Mingze's right leg still hurts faintly, and he really doesn't understand why Shen Yuanjing is here.

This is a seowon, and not everyone can enter it.

Shen Yuanjing also saw Yan Mingze, there were bookcases on the left and right, and there were students walking back and forth. Yan Mingze's face was a little unfamiliar in his face, he hadn't seen Yan Mingze for three years.

Yan Mingze first looked away, then faintly felt that something was wrong, and looked over again, he saw Shen Yuanjing's gaze moving from top to bottom, and finally landed on his right leg, Shen Yuanjing didn't smile or speak, that face was a little feminine, obviously good-looking, but it was terrifying.

Yan Mingze moved his right leg, but he didn't take a step.

It was Shen Yuanjing who left first, and after he left, Yan Mingze asked his former classmates to inquire, he was not stupid to that point, and felt that his grandfather came forward to let Shen Yuanjing enter the academy. He clearly remembered that Shen Yuanjing was stupid in the past and couldn't learn anything.

Could it be that the Shen family was rehabilitated, or maybe it was some other reason, but the result was the one he didn't want to hear the most.

"It's normal that you just came back and didn't know, he's the son of King An, but he hasn't recognized his ancestors yet." The classmate sighed, and he didn't know whether to sigh Shen Yuanjing's ill-fated fate or envy this identity.

Shen Yuanjing is the son of King An who was exiled earlier, and now that the son is gone, King An has a son of Shen Yuanjing, how can he not treat him as a treasure.

If it is Yan Mingze, he will definitely return to King An's Mansion immediately.

But listening to his classmates, Shen Yuanjing never went back, and sometimes there were people from King An's mansion, and he ignored them.

"The steward of King An's Mansion often comes to deliver things, and Shen Gongzi doesn't talk much, and the carriage waits at the gate of the academy for a day." The classmate sighed, "It's true that everyone has his own life, and if you look at his appearance, he doesn't look like an ordinary son." However, Shen Gongzi is really smart, and he took more than 60 places in the township test this time. He's only thirteen years old, and he's heard he hasn't studied much before. ”

"By the way, your eldest brother also praised him, saying that he is smart and hardworking, and he is not the kind of gentlemanly son. Shen Gongzi knows everything and is very humble, although he is younger than us, he doesn't need to be taken care of at all, and he doesn't have any shelf, so it is estimated that he didn't go back to Anwangfu for a reason. ”
