Chapter 366: Spring Affair

Xu Lingyi told Eleven Niang about Xu Siyu's children's examination: He has already registered and the examination will start on February 20th. I will ask Manager Zhao to accompany him to the examination. You don't have to worry about food, food, writing, and ink. You will just take care of it when the time comes.

Just give it to him.

Eleven Niang responded and made a step-by-step purse for Xu Siyu.

When Xu Siyu came to greet Eleven Niang, he respectfully thanked her. On the day of the exam, he hung up his purse and went to the examination room.

After passing the exam, he felt very good. He went to Shaohuayuan and talked with the second lady for a long time. When the second lady came to greet the queen, she also said: It shouldn't be a big problem.

Aunt Qin was overjoyed when she heard this. She wanted to make two clothes or food for Xu Siyu, but because she had no time, she finally finished making shoes and socks for Brother Jie as requested by Eleventh Mother. Eleventh Mother asked her to make a summer shirt for Xu Sijie.

Cui'er thought about Xu Siyu's bitter smile when he went to deliver food to Xu Siyu.

Sister Cui'er, tell your aunt that she should stop sending me things and leave me alone. If you have this time, you might as well serve your wife and the marquis well. I will study hard. Let her

Do not worry about me.

But in this case, how could she dare to talk to Aunt Qin who regarded the second young master as her lifeblood.

Seeing that Aunt Qin was worried, she couldn't help but persuade her: "Mother Qin, the second young master has been studying hard at home every day these days. Now that the exam is over and it's early spring, why don't you go out and have some fun? Please let the second young master rest in peace and quiet."

Take a break and stop worrying about when you are going to deliver something.

You said to Aunt Qin, you should let him have a good rest. He has been working too hard these days.

Cui'er couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Aunt Qin's hesitant face, she was afraid that she would give some embarrassing instructions again, so she hurriedly smiled and said: There are not many Yinshuang charcoal to burn the iron. I'll go get some. I'll drop by to see the second young master.

at home or not

Go quickly, go quickly. Aunt Qin smiled happily when she heard this. If she went out, she would also ask where she went, when she came back, and what she had done these days.

Cui'er responded with a smile and went to the outer courtyard.

Xu Siyu did not go out, but went to the second lady's place. Wen Zhu and others were packing their things.

Cui'er was shocked when she saw it.

The second young master said, no matter whether we did well or not, we will go back to Le'an as soon as the results of the children's examination come out. Wenzhu smiled and invited Cui'er into the house for tea. The second young master and Mr. Yu made an appointment on the eighth day of April.

I'm going to Dafu Temple in Le'an to offer incense. If I don't set off in early March, I won't be able to make it.

Cui'er was speechless for a long time, lowered her head to drink tea, her eyes passed over Qinxiang and the others who were silently putting away the box and cage, only to find that what Bixiang put into the box and cage was a beautiful blue Songjiang three-spindle robe.

This, what is this? She stood up suddenly, pointing at the straight hand and couldn't help but tremble.

These were the clothes the second young master wore when he was in Le'an. Bixiang raised his head, looking a little gloomy.

Cui'er looked at Wenzhu: You, how could you dress the second young master in such clothes? There was a hint of questioning in her tone.

Why can't Wenzhu look at Cui'er calmly with his big clear eyes? The second young master said that he should wear what others wear.

The second young master is still young, how can you just let it go? You know, my wife sent you to the second young master to serve the second young master.

Cui Er's sister Wen Zhu interrupted Cui Er, we are very happy in Le'an. Mr. Jiang only said that the second young master is an old friend, and the second young master never shows a trace of arrogance in front of others. He wears the same clothes as his classmates.

, eat the same meals, and have to clean the toilets in the school when it is their turn to be on duty, there is never a time to complain. In addition, he studies hard and treats others with humility and courtesy. From the old man guarding the gate to Mr. Jiang, everyone in Jinxi Academy dislikes him.

The second young master is living happily there. Sister Cui'er should not say anything in front of her aunt, so as not to cause some trouble.

Cui Er was silent.

Even if she told Aunt Qin, what else could Aunt Qin do except cry twice secretly?

But when I thought about the second young master actually wearing Songjiang three shuttle cloth, I felt bad and the corners of my eyes became wet.

Sister Cui'er, Wenzhu shook Cui'er's hand, and the second young master said that only after enduring hardship can one become a master. The second young master has such ambition, and we people should be happy for him. Don't talk nonsense.

The words put the second young master in a dilemma. The prince would be unhappy if he heard this. After saying that, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.

Cui'er still didn't understand, so she nodded: I understand. I won't say anything.

Wen Zhu smiled and made another cup of tea for Cui Er.

Cui'er thought about it and couldn't help but ask: Does the second lady know?

I know. Wenzhu didn't hide it from Cui'er. The second lady came to see the second young master the day after he came back. Knowing that the second young master had the same food and accommodation as his classmates, she even praised the second young master for his ambition.

Cui'er had nothing to say. After sitting for a while, she stood up and left.

Wenzhu looked at her back and shook his head gently.

Qinxiang saw it and said worriedly: Is Sister Wenzhu worried that Sister Cui'er will tell her aunt about this?

Sister Cui'er is a smart person. Wenzhu shook her head gently, she won't tell her aunt. I was just thinking about it. She paused slightly, turned around and saw Tao Liulianjiao and Tao Liulianjiao looking at her with wide eyes.

With a childish look on his face, I couldn't help but laugh. I was just thinking, it's a good thing I followed the second young master to Le'an, otherwise, I wouldn't have known that the world is so big and there are many interesting people and interesting things.

Qinxiang and the others smiled and hugged her, hugging her and pushing her: My sister went to Le'an alone and didn't take us with her, and she still made some sarcastic remarks here.

Wenzhu just laughed.

But what Mr. Jiang said to the second young master when they first arrived in Le'an echoed in his mind: You will be at the top of the mountain, and you can see all the mountains and small mountains. When you can understand it, you understand why your father sent you to me.

When you come to study hard.

She didn't know what this poem had to do with the second young master being sent to Jinxi Academy to study. She only knew that now that the prince was in the house, the second young master would be in a difficult situation in the future, and she felt sad for the second young master. But this time when she came back from Anle, she

Some people understand what Mr. Jiang said. Even though the Yongping Marquis Mansion is all good, but with their status and being cautious and trembling with everyone they meet, it is better to be in Anle, where even though they have a simple meal, they can speak loudly and laugh loudly.

Thinking of this, Wenzhu pursed his lips and laughed.

They will go back to Anle soon

At this moment, the main room was quiet, except for the sound of the ticking gears of the grandfather clock in the east room.

Eleven Niang was sitting cross-legged on the big bed near the window. She looked up and saw Xu Sijie standing under the eaves.

He was wearing an alder-red tunic with cattail leaf pattern, and his Nanyong wife, who was looking at him lovingly, and several little maids were surrounding him. He was holding a small transverse flute in his hand, and would hold back his blush from time to time.

Blow it to your mouth a few times, then look down at it in disappointment for a long time, then pick it up and blow it again, and then show an even more disappointed expression.

The corners of Eleven Niang's lips turned up slightly.

Xu Sizhen was learning to play the transverse flute from Mr. Zhao. Xu Sijie saw his eyes sparkling. Xu Sizhen leaned on his elbows and listened quietly while practicing. When Mr. Zhao saw it, he made a small transverse flute and gave it to Xu Sijie.

, and also told him that he played a small tune. Xu Sijie was like getting the most fun toy in the world, and he learned it in a decent manner. It was just that he was young and could occasionally whine out a note, and more

Sometimes his face turned red and he could not make any sound. This made him very frustrated. But he did not give up. He would come back after school every day, and then, like Xu Sizhen, he would stand under the eaves and practice playing the fife.

Nanyong's wife did not dare to disturb Xu Sijie, so she stood there with him every day.

Seeing another big smile blooming on his face, Eleven Niang knew that he had played another sound. She lowered her head with a smile and stuck the thin embroidery needle next to the previous one. The embroidery needle started from the thin

The silk yarn slipped down

A burst of soft footsteps broke the silence.

A small crimson figure broke in from outside.

Mother, mother, listen, listen

Xu Sijie stood in front of the Kang, breathing heavily and put the flute to his mouth.

The flute made two dull sounds.

Alas, Eleventh Mother quickly put down her embroidery needle, leaned over and kissed Xu Sijie on the cheek. Our brother Jie can now blow twice.

Xu Sijie's face flushed with excitement, he picked up the flute and played it twice more: "If you can, keep playing, keep playing."

The eleventh mother hugged Xu Sijie onto the kang. Nanyong’s daughter-in-law who rushed over quickly helped Xu Sijie take off his shoes. The eleventh mother had already hugged Xu Sijie in her arms: Our brother Jie is really good.

Xu Sijie nodded repeatedly, struggled to stand up, straightened his little body, and blew twice more.

Eleven Niang clapped her hands.

Xu Sijie laughed proudly.

Eleven Niang smiled and touched his head. Xu Lingyi was back.

Amber walked in softly.

Eleven Niang smiled and touched Xu Sijie’s head and asked her: What’s the matter?

The steward of the outer courtyard came back and said that the banquet at Chunxi Tower had been booked. She smiled and said that it would be delivered to Sixiang Hutong on time at midnight on March 17.

Wuniang now lives in Sixiang Hutong. The housewarming party that was originally scheduled to be held was canceled due to the death of the eldest wife, but the congratulatory gifts for Four Niangs, Seven Niangs, Eleven Niangs and others were sent over. Wu Niang sent someone to bring four-color gift boxes.

He came over to express his gratitude and said that he would invite everyone to sit down after the first anniversary of mourning.

Eleven Niang thought of Xu Siyu: The results should be released tomorrow, right?

The results will be released tomorrow. Amber smiled and said, I will go to the office early tomorrow morning to wait for the announcement.

Eleven Niang smiled and nodded, persuaded Xu Sijie to play the flute, and led him to the dowager's place for dinner.

Amberze went to the outer courtyard early the next morning. Sichuqi walked in hurriedly: Madam, the second young master is in high school.

Eleven Niang was handling housework in the main hall of the front yard. The housekeepers and mothers nearby exchanged glances with each other after hearing this, and no one said a word to congratulate her.

She couldn't help but laugh when she looked at it, and told Mama Li, who was in charge of the kitchen, "More dishes will be added today." Then she said to Hu Hue, "Go to the warehouse to get some silver coins and reward them."

Then the mothers in charge rushed forward one by one to congratulate Eleven Niang.

This year is Valentine's Day, I wish you all a happy Valentine's Day
