Who Cares

Xu Shi saw the embarrassment of her mother-in-law, Mu Mu ran forward and hugged her legs, shaking her legs while begging, "Mother, I beg you, leave Dalang!"

The little monkey Xu received special training. First, he sniffed the smell of Guan Suyi's body, and made sure that he had not found the wrong person. Then he climbed onto a peach blossom tree, picked a peach blossom, and passed it with grinning teeth. Very diligent.

Jin Jin and Minglan were surprised, and tweeted in praise, "This monkey is really a god! Miss, you can just leave it, and you can play with the young master. There is only one child in the house, which is indeed a little lonely."

Guan Suyi was still hesitating, just because he saw this monkey, he could think of Hunar. If he left it, it seemed that there were shadows of the other person everywhere in the mansion. However, she didn't want to disappoint Mu Mu. After all, this was the first time he asked her for a love.

Seeing that the mother's complexion was slightly loosened, Mu Mu quickly wrapped her short legs, begging milkily. The little monkey was more clever, plucking a lot of peach blossoms and sprinkling it on her head, making everything colorful and falling. Guan Suyi was so dumbfounded by these two that she had to agree.

Not to mention how the Emperor Shi's mansion laughed, laughed, and was happy, but Zhao's Mansion was gloomy and depressed. The door between the East and the West was completely locked. If you want to communicate with each other, you have to go outside the courtyard and knock on the door. Zhao Luli always went for business outside and rarely returned home. He finally came back once. He must stay at the teahouse opposite the Emperor Shi’s mansion for a whole day. If you meet Guan Suyi who travels occasionally, you can take a look at her from a distance. Cheer up.

The old lady was destroyed by the toxins and caught the disease twice in three days. Now she can only be raised in bed. Zhao Chunxi wanted to take care of both outside and inside, as well as to take care of his grandmother and Zhao Huai'en. People grew up quickly, and there was a twilight on his face before the time.

Knowing that Lu Fengming hurriedly cleaned up the delicate things and left Yanjing non-stop, she expected something happened, so she immediately sent someone to inquire about it. As soon as she received the exact news, Zhao Wangshu went back to the house, and plunged into Penglai Garden to find the leaves. Zhen speaks. She searched for it with a sneer, and stood by the corridor waiting.

There was a ringing inside. It should be Zhao Wangshu reporting the scandal of Lv Fengming, and then he heard Ye Hao hoarsely saying, "I'm not for your good? No matter how talented Qi Yu is, can anyone in Wei know his name? What do you think? Guan Suyi is for your own good. Why doesn't she take you back to Guan's house directly and worship her grandfather or dad as a teacher? As long as the two of them take you at will, you will not look like you are now ineffective!"

Come to the gate? Beautiful! No one in Wei knows that Mr. Guan and Father Guan never accept mediocre talents. If he couldn't pass the exams of the two of them, he would be expelled. First send to the Guan family's first disciple to lay the foundation, and then become virtuous, and then enter the seat of the emperor or Taichang, this is a steady and steady approach. Do you think anyone is like you, Ye Zhen, thinking of climbing high branches and taking shortcuts? Zhao Chunxi murmured sarcastically.

Perhaps Zhao Wangshu said the same, which caused Ye Zhen to fall a lot and scold him repeatedly. Vaguely, Zhao Wangshu’s bitter voice came intermittently, to the effect that in this literary meeting, the students performed differently, the good and the bad were uneven, and the emperor felt that the problem was serious. He has decided to start the saint and change the three-year imperial examination to Hierarchically and progressively by region, from easy to difficult, one step at a time, first pass the first test, then the second test, and try again, and finally select the best batch of students, personally selected by the emperor. This is the same as Guan's method of selecting students, but on a larger scale.

In other words, except for Enke's chance to hit the first place in one fell swoop this time, we have to take it slowly in the future. If you miss this time, the students have to wait another three years, failing a try, and three more years, and so on.

Ye Zhen was completely mad, and whispered, "Three years? Another three years? You useless rubbish, what did you do earlier, you couldn't even write an article! You immediately moved all the four books and five classics. Come to my room, I will stare at you to read, go, go!"

Zhao Wangshu's choking voice came, as if he was aggrieved. Zhao Chunxi obviously didn't want to care about him, but he kicked his toes open the door involuntarily, and screamed, "Trash? What qualifications do you have to call him trash? You blame him for not working, then why did you go a few years earlier? Why didn't you come back? Discipline him? Who forced him to betray the teacher? Who forced him to worship the drunkard as a teacher? Who caused him to have a foothold in Yanjing now without a face? It's you! It's all you! What happened in three years? In Guan Suyi’s arrangement, Zhao Wangshu didn’t have anything to do with the imperial examination. He didn’t even have the qualifications to test the waters. After three years, he has a solid foundation and is ready to take part in the initial test and move forward step by step. You Now I want to force him to study all night, is it for him to become a talent, or for you? Do you treat him as a son, or as a beast?"

She walked into the room and smashed whatever she saw. Her hair was messed up and her eyes turned red. Finally, she gasped and said, "The Ye family died because of you; the second aunt was dragged down to death by you; your grandmother was killed by you." The number is greatly reduced; your mother is forced to ask and leave; my father is forced by you to have a home. Are you satisfied? Are you going to drive the only son who cares about you crazy? Why don't you die in the palace? You **** should die in the palace!"

Zhao Wangshu, who was kneeling in the pile of messy porcelain, was already frightened and looked at her gapingly, his eyes gradually drenched with tears. It's not that he doesn't feel the paranoia and madness of his mother, nor is he unable to feel the powerlessness and impossibility. He just can't let go of this blood bond.

He shouted "Sister" hopefully, hoping that she could stay in the East Mansion and give him some support and encouragement, but after she vented the grievances in her heart, she left without looking back, leaving only one indifferent word. "If you still don't understand, you will die in Ye Zhen's hands sooner or later."

This seems to be a curse, but it doesn't seem to be, which makes Zhao Wangshu's bones cold.

At the same time, the main entrance of Xu Mansion was full of guests. After the literary meeting, Xu Guangzhi invited all the disciples to come to the home to communicate. The huge courtyard was full of people inside and outside, and even on the wall, there were good people lying on their faces to watch the excitement. He sat in the middle and talked freely, fascinated by his celebrity demeanor.

Xu Yayan stayed in the house with his mother Lin, looking out through a bamboo curtain.

"This is the article you wrote at the literary meeting. Your father quietly put it away and let me burn it quickly. As a woman, how can you show your face and fight against others? You can't do that in the future." Take out a manuscript from the bag and reprimanded.

"But women from other families have also written articles, why can't I write them alone? Am I a bit inferior to them?" Xu Yayan was aggrieved.

"On the contrary, it is because you are higher than them that your father would not let you be with them. Women who are chaste and graceful, keep their duties, shouldn't show up easily, otherwise they will appear humble. Look at that level. The daughter of the clan, make trouble for a while, make trouble for a while, Manyan Jingdu is her rumor, the result? Isn’t it a peace? In the future, she can’t find even a serious husband and son, she will stay alone for the rest of her life, and be lonely to death. The fate of restlessness! If she is honest in her duties and observant of women's morals, she should take in Madam Ye and take the initiative to invite her as a wife. Madam Ye is the original spouse of the concubine. Isn't she aggrieved by her? Look now, Mrs. Ye is ill, and Mrs. Zhao is also ill. Zhao Luli did not return home in Chengri, leaving two children alone and helpless. These are all sins made by the Guan family!"

Xu Yayan felt a little bit conflicted and asked, "Mother, if you encounter this situation, would you give in and ask Mrs. Ye for a flat wife?"

"Naturally. A woman should end up with her husband. The husband's concubine should be respected, regardless of whether she is dead or alive. Of course, our Xu family daughter can never be a concubine. At the age of marriage, this is the manuscript left by your grandmother. It is full of what she summarized as being a daughter, a wife, and a mother. Let’s take a look." Lin opened the wooden box on the table and took out a pile of pans. Huang's manuscript.

Xu Yayan took the matter cautiously, flipped through two pages, and there was light in her eyes. Female ring? Female virtue? Good words! There was an impulse faintly in her heart, she wanted to summarize the words inside and write a book. Didn't Guan Suyi say that Derby is heavier? Men have the virtue of a gentleman, and women should also have the virtue of a lady. If you look at her words and deeds, how can she be worthy of the four characters "Mingde Weixin"?

She read a paragraph carefully, like a treasure.

Lin was very pleased when he saw this, opened the cash box, locked in the belongings sent by the students, and whispered, "Your father really turned over this time. The amount of silver sent by a single disciple is thousands of dollars. Not to mention silk, antiques, jade articles, etc., you will no longer need to copy books at night and sell them. I heard that the two adults, Tai Shi Ling and Lang Zhong Ling, want to recommend him to preside over this imperial examination, even if he cannot be the chief examiner. , You can also get a deputy post, and then you will be a clear-cut literary minister."

"The chief examiner? I'm afraid it will not work, right? The emperor teacher and too often are on the table, no matter what happens, he will not be able to turn to his father." Having said that, Xu Yayan was extremely unwilling in her heart.

"What do you know? First push for the chief test, and then push for deputy position after being rejected by the sage. The chances of being appointed will be greater." Lin smiled disapprovingly. In her opinion, it is already good for her husband to get a full-time official position, and she must not be too greedy.

"That's true. If Dad can participate in the presiding of this imperial examination, he will be able to attract a lot of students, and they will be promoted in the coming year. They will all be Dad's help. Climbing in the middle of the country, the network is the most important. Our family has no background, and it is a loss. Daddy can think of this way." Xu Yayan admires her dad very much, and her tone can't help showing a bit of arrogance.

"That's not it. Yun Weng only accepts the children of the family, and the father and son of the Guan family only accept the talents, but where are so many children and talents in the world? Where should the rest of these students go for advice? , Will be widely praised in the future, and will be famous all over the world."

Pointing to the extraordinary lively scene outside, Xu Yayan said confidently, "Mother, you are wrong. Daddy is already famous for being famous."
