Such a good result was unexpected by everyone, and surprises spread like wildfire everywhere. The well-known and responsible mothers rushed to congratulate Mrs. Xu Lingyi, the eleventh Niangxiang family.

You can imagine the mood, everyone who came to congratulate was rewarded with money. Only Xu Lingyi just nodded lightly, which made those who came to congratulate feel a little bit in their hearts, not knowing whether they were flattering or flattering.

On the bed, like fire that touched water, it immediately became weak. He stuttered and shortened what he was going to say in half a stick of incense to three or two sentences, and then retreated dejectedly. Others looked at it and naturally raised their eyebrows.

Not to mention.

The silence in the outer courtyard soon affected the mood in the inner courtyard. The voices of the originally laughing and noisy servants could not help but become quieter, and the joyful atmosphere gradually became thinner.

Are you really unhappy? Eleven Niang entered the inner room and saw Xu Lingyi leaning on the big bed by the window reading a book. She smiled and sat next to him. I didn’t believe it. She said again, Mr. Hou put on such a look.

Why are faces so ordinary? Xu Lingyi's serious face is like snow gradually melting in the sun: You have also seen it, they all look like they are afraid that the world will not know. If I give them another smile, it will be like oil falling on a fire.

I don’t know how to bake it yet. If I win the Jinshi, it’s easy to say. I’m just a candidate. It’s hard to say whether I can win the Jinshi. If others see it, I’m afraid they will laugh at Brother Yu for being frivolous. Besides, Brother Yu is not young.

In the past few years, I have been between Anle and Yanjing, and even went to Jiangnan once. If things are still superficial, I think it is not an exaggeration to think that he has been ignored by me. Eleven Niangs don’t know what to say.

.

The relationship between Xu Lingyi and Xu Siyu is a typical feudal father-son relationship.

The Marquis's requirements for Brother Yu are too high, she advised, at least give him a smile or reward him with something to give him some warning. Only a god can guess like this every time.

You guessed it, the first thing he needs to do in his career in the future is to learn to figure out his superiors. Xu Lingyi disagreed. If he doesn't even know the kind of people around him, I think, even if he wins the Jinshi, he will do well in the future.

I'll stay in the Hanlin Academy to edit and compile books, so that I won't be used by others and I'll be embarrassed by saying good things to others.

Is what the Marquis said too serious? Eleven Niang said, people always have a place to relax. If family members who are related by blood have to figure it out like the people outside, then when is the time to take a break? Xu Lingyi did not say anything and remained silent.

After a moment, he changed the topic: I think you are going to have to work hard these two days. Brother Yu has been selected. It would be best for you to go to the Jiang family and the Xiang family in person: Mrs. Zhou and the others are afraid after hearing the news

Everyone came to congratulate me.

Seeing that he didn't want to talk more, Eleven Niang didn't want to get too entangled and made herself look like a talkative woman.

Lord Marquis, don't worry, I've already told my mother in charge to prepare gifts and silver rewards." She smiled and planned to go to Jiang's house early tomorrow morning and Xiang's house in the afternoon.

Xu Lingyi nodded and turned to go to the study: I ​​want to write a letter to Mr. Jiang from Le'an and Mr. Xiang who is far away in Huguang. First, I went to them to thank them, and secondly, I wanted to ask Brother Yu about it. See if he continues to attend chun.

It would be better for Wei to study for a few more years and then take the exam. He said in a tone of voice and got fourth place in the Chun Wei exam. Take one or two hundred from the top two rankings. If by any chance you can't get in, you'll either fail or be the same as a Jinshi.

It's easy to say that if you fail, you can take the exam again next time and leave. But if you pass the exam and you are a Jinshi, although they are from the same family, one is like a wife and the other is like a concubine, and the treatment is very different.

This is a big deal.

Eleven Niang sent Xu Lingyi out and was thinking about whether to find out the four-geek calligraphy treasure with gold and calligraphy given to Xu Lingyi by the palace during the Chinese New Year and give it to Xu Siyu as a congratulatory gift. Xu Siyu came over.

Your father was in the study, and she was smiling without even coming down.

Who knew that Xu Siyu said: I came to see my mother, Eleven Niang was stunned: she came to see me, Xu Siyu nodded.

Eleven Niang asked Xu Siyu to sit down in the west room.

Xu Siyu took out a small bottle with a glass enamel red gold twist-wire lid and said: I heard from Mr. Xiang this morning that my sixth brother was bitten by an insect when he was in Huai'an, and a red blister the size of an elm coin appeared on his face. This is when I went to my father-in-law.

My father-in-law gave it to me there. He said it was specially designed to treat mosquito bites and was very effective. My mother asked someone to send me a message and borrowed six hundred miles from the Ministry of War to rush it to Yangzhou. Eleven Niang received Luo Zhenxing this morning.

I only found out about this.

Brother Jin didn't mention a word in the letter. Although Luo Zhenxing's letter was full of apologies, saying that he had not taken good care of Brother Jin, he also told her that he had hired a famous local doctor to treat Brother Jin and that the red blister had disappeared.

A lot. But she was still very worried, so she asked Amber to go to Liu Yizheng for medical advice. She and Qiu Yu also found all the topical medicines at home to reduce swelling. At that time, Mrs. Xiang hugged Yingying and came to say hello, maybe because she heard

something.

She didn't refuse.

There are many mosquitoes in Huguang, and Master Xiang is the chief envoy of Huguang. Since it was sent by Master Xiang, Xu Siyu also agreed that it should have some effect.

Don't tell Mrs. Tai about this. I don't want Eleven Niang to worry about her. Xu Siyu immediately said, "Mom, don't worry. I've also warned Yingying Niang."

Just as he was talking, Amber came in holding a black lacquer box.

What did Liu Yizheng say? Eleven Niang immediately stepped forward to greet her.

Xu Siyu hurriedly followed.

Amber opened the box: Liu Yizheng said, if the Sixth Young Master has only one red blister on his face, use the powder in this yellow bottle; if the Sixth Young Master has a small red blister on his face, then use this brown bottle;

If the red blisters look like blisters, use this white bottle

Wait a minute. When Eleven Niang saw there were seven or eight bottles, she told Qiu Yu to grind the ink for me. Then she said to Hu Hu, I will write down what you said and send it along with this box. They can also follow Dr. Liu's instructions.

Talking about medication.

Autumn rain went away in response, and Amber also said yes again and again.

Mother, let me write it. Xu Siyu on the side listened and said hurriedly, "Have a rest. I have nothing to do anyway."

Eleven Niang did not reject Xu Siyu's kindness. Hu Hu said that Xu Siyu would remember to put the glass bottle of bile that Xu Siyu gave him in a box and ask Manager Zhao to hurry up and send it to Brother Jin.

Xu Siyu took the initiative to ask for a cup of tea.

Eleven Niang thought he had something to say to her, but who knew that the corner of his mouth was twitching, and in the end he stood up and left without saying anything.

She thought of Xu Lingyi's coldness.

Your father is writing a letter to Mr. Jiang and Mr. Xiang. Eleven Niang said tactfully and honestly, discussing your affairs. Xu Siyu laughed when he heard the words: Mother, don’t worry, I know what my father wants. I don’t want everyone to

For this matter, he made a big noise and made everyone aware of it. He looked very calm and peaceful.

It seems that she is too worried.

As long as you understand, Eleven Niang smiled and asked Hu Huo to bring the four calligraphy treasures with gold and calligraphy to Xu Siyu. The queen will reward your father. I have used one. It has a very good color, thick black and shiny. You can take it.

Try it.

Xu Siyu was not polite and said: I am worried about what to give to Master Zuo and Fang Ji. It would be best to put these calligraphy treasures in good black pliers boxes and give them away. He added, since mother

After using one piece, I opened a box. I don’t know if there are any left. Otherwise, you can give them all to me.

Since there are four pavilions of calligraphy treasures, there are four pieces.

Eleven Niang couldn’t help but smile: There are three more yuan left, I’ll give them to you.

Xu Siyu thanked him with a smile, and went back to have several black sodium boxes made, with golden inscriptions on them. The antique fragrance revealed a sense of grandeur, which was in line with his status. After socializing with his friends, he was very happy.

The winter solstice is coming soon.

Both Mr. Jiang and Mr. Xiang had letters. They both politely proposed that Xu Siyu should take the exam again in three years. One said: while you are young, read some books in a down-to-earth manner. When you turn thirty, your memory will not be as clear as before.

The catchy one is from a book I read when I was young. One way to say it is, it is good for a young person to become famous, but it is easy for him to be arrogant and arrogant. He acts with a bit of arrogance and often offends his superiors or colleagues without even realizing it.

It's hard to accomplish anything big.

Then take the exam three years later, Xu Lingyi made a decision immediately.

Xu Siyu was not surprised by this result.

Since his father didn't want to celebrate his passing the exam, he was even less willing to take advantage of the situation and attend Chunwei. He could just go back to the academy in Le'an to study some more.

He asked Eleven Niang: When will the sixth brother come back? I haven't seen him for several years. He went to the northwest with his father, and then to the south of the Yangtze River with his uncle. The changes are quite big. I'm afraid he won't even see me when he sees me.

Got to know me.

He rushed back before celebrating the New Year. When Eleven Niang thought that she would be able to see Brother Jin in more than a month, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows overflowed with joy that she couldn't contain. Didn't the Marquis say that he would let you celebrate the New Year?

It's good to go back to Le'an. You brothers can also meet. Xu Siyu was a little surprised when he heard: Uncle, won't you go back to Yuhang for the New Year? No, Eleven Niang knew that Luo Zhenxing did this for brother Jin, and she felt a little guilty and said, "You

My uncle is celebrating the New Year in Yanjing.

As soon as she finished speaking, Amber came in and gave her a large list in his hand: Madam, these are all prepared for the New Year. Take a look.

Xu Siyu hurriedly stood up and said goodbye.

Eleven Niang carefully flipped through the list, then took out the Shoushan Stone Sanyang Kaitai Twist Square Seal to seal it, and gave the amber to Mrs. Jiang, who then assigned matters to the mothers based on the list.

She watched Mrs. Jiang help her host the wedding ceremony. Not only was she very diligent, but she gradually became shrewd. She simply handed over part of the New Year matters to Mrs. Jiang. She only focused on preparing the sacrifices at the ancestral hall and visiting each government for the New Year's Eve.

Things like that. In previous years, she was very busy during the New Year, but this year, she had a lot of free time, so she took her maid, daughter-in-law and mother-in-law to decorate the house and clean the courtyard for brother Jin. As soon as December entered, she started

Have someone waiting at the gate.
