Chapter 195 2nd Place
The test will be over soon, and the next step is to wait for the results to come out. Yuxi's mentality is very good, she should eat and drink, and she is not affected at all.
Others in the Duke's Mansion were also very calm. Chen Ran was a descendant of the Chen family. Whether he passed the exam was a matter of the Chen family and had little to do with the Han family. The most anxious person in the entire Duke's Mansion is Qiu Shi. These days, Qiu Shi has been restless, unable to eat well and sleep. Yuxi persuaded her several times to no avail, and in the end she didn't persuade her at all, it only took a few days anyway.
On the day when the results came out, Qiu Shi kept walking around the room without stopping. Yuxi couldn't help laughing after seeing it: "Mother, don't be nervous, Erye Chen will definitely pass the exam."
Seeing Qiu's and Yuxi's reaction, Mrs. Ye couldn't help laughing. It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry!
At the beginning of noon, the servant who was waiting for news at the outer door finally ran in. When Qiu saw someone, he hurriedly asked, "How is it? Did the second master of the Chen family pass the exam?"
The boy nodded, but because he ran into the inner courtyard just now, he was just panting for breath, so he couldn't speak.
Seeing this, Qiu's eyes lit up: "You got hit?" That's great.
Yuxi was relatively calm, and smiled and told Zisu: "Bring him a cup of tea, let him moisten his throat first, and speak slowly."
The young man recovered from drinking a cup of tea, and said happily: "I won, the fourth son-in-law is the second place in the tribute." This happy money is indispensable.
After hearing this, Mrs. Ye was shocked: "Isn't there a mistake?" The second Gongshi, if there is no mistake in the palace test, then it is a first-class!
The boy cracked his mouth and said with a smile: "I have checked again and again, there is nothing wrong. Congratulations to the madam, congratulations to the fourth girl." I don't know who said that the fourth girl has a bad luck. Look, the fourth uncle is all hit. Second place.
Yuxi smiled and asked Zisu to give the prepared purse to the boy. The little servant pinched it, bulging, and went down contentedly, saying that the fourth girl was generous, and it was true.
Qiu's face is full of smiles now: "It's good to be the second in Gongshi." Let's see who dares to say that Yu Xi's hit is not good. Her family, Yuxi, is clearly a blessed child.
Ye Shi saw that although Yuxi had a smile on her face, she didn't have that kind of ecstatic expression. She didn't know whether to say that Yuxi was in a good mood, or whether she still hid her emotions. No matter what it is, Chen Erye won the second place in the Gongshi examination, and Yuxi is also rising. Ye said sincerely: "Fourth sister, congratulations."
Yuxi smiled and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
When Han Jingyan heard that Chen Ran had won the second place in the exam, he was silent for a moment, and asked, "Did the second young master of the Jiang family pass the exam?" Hearing that the attendant said that he had passed the exam, the expression on his face eased a lot, and he asked again: "How many people have passed the exam?"
The entourage said: "Master, the second young master of the Jiang family won the eighteenth place in the exam." This ranking is also very good, but compared with the fourth young master, it is a lot worse.
Han Jingyan waved his hand and said, "Go down!" After finishing speaking, he picked up the pen and wrote another word, but the word was broken as soon as he put the pen down. Han Jingyan was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.
Chen Ran won the second place, and Wen's was the most resentful: "Isn't she a bad luck? Why did the second master of the Chen family pass the exam? He also won the second place?" If Chen Ran didn't pass the exam, Han Yuxi would definitely Disliked by the people of Taining Hou Mansion. But the one who was so lucky to die was that he passed the exam, and it was also a good result in second place.
Wen's is now blaming Yu Xi for all the culpability of her miscarriage, wishing that Yu Xi would be as miserable as possible. It's a pity that Yuxi not only didn't have the bad luck as she wished, but got better and better.
When the woman who served her heard this, a look of disgust flashed in her eyes. It's ridiculous to kill the child by yourself, but blame the fourth girl. In fact, when Chunlan was sent back to Biteng Courtyard, the mother-in-law did not allow Chunlan to come in, but ordered someone to arrange Chunlan to go outside.
At that time, she was afraid that Chunlan's ghostly appearance would frighten Wen. It's a pity that Wen's risked his life, knowing that Chunlan insisted on seeing her when she came back, she was so frightened that she became pregnant. Anyway, as far as the mother-in-law is concerned, it is a good thing that the child does not exist, and it will not be good to be born with such a mother-in-law.
After staying in Bitengyuan for a long time, she wished she could go back sooner. But the longer she stayed, the more empty she felt. Knowing so many things about Wen Shi, will Wen Shi really let her go back when she is confinement? This matter seems rather precarious.
In the afternoon, Yuchen's ceremony will arrive, and the speed cannot be said to be slow. Looking at the valuable gifts, Yuxi smiled and asked Zisu to sort the things and put them in the warehouse.
Nanny Quan followed Yuxi into the room, and asked, "Second Master Chen won the second place in the Gongshi examination, the girl seems not very happy?"
Yuxi shook her head and said: "I'm not unhappy, it's just that I expected it. Now that I've won the second place in the Gongshi, with Chen Ran's appearance, it's very likely that he will be the Tanhualang of this year."
Sister Quan let out a huh, and everyone was happy that Erye Chen got the second place in the exam, so the girl thought about the imperial examination, and she thought so far: "I thought the girl was unhappy?"
Yuxi smiled: "A woman's honor and disgrace all depend on a man. Chen Ran is promising, and I also have face." Otherwise, Yuchen would not let people come over with gifts.
Of course, Yu Xi was in a complicated mood. It's not that I don't like it, it's just that there is an indescribable sadness. A woman's whole life depends on a man. When a man is in glory, a woman may have status. The reason why I say possible is because if a man doesn't like you, even if he is in glory, he probably has nothing to do with you. Maybe it's just a display. On the contrary, if men are useless, women are also looked down upon. No matter how you look at it, being a man is happier than being a woman.
Sister Quan didn't feel right when she heard this: "Girl..." Reading too much has side effects, that is, thinking too much.
Yuxi smiled, and said, "It's okay, I'm just talking casually." She was powerless to change the status quo, so she could only make herself adapt. Fortunately, Chen Ran is an enlightened person, so she should not restrict what she can do.
In the afternoon of the next day, Xiaoling, the maid beside Zhou Shiya, came over. Seeing that Xiaoling's expression was wrong, Yuxi hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Shiya?"
Xiao Ling said anxiously: "My girl is not well."
Yuxi was shocked: "What happened to Shiya?"
Xiao Ling said with a look of panic: "My girl said she wanted to see you, so I beg my cousin to go and see my girl!"
This made Yuxi's heart shudder, and she rushed to Zhou's house without changing her clothes.
Sister Quan pulled Yuxi and said: "Girl, no matter how anxious you are, don't be in a hurry, change your clothes first!" Changing clothes is fake, delaying time is real. Sister Quan felt that Xiaoling's expression was wrong, and wanted to wait for Yuxi to change her clothes to interrogate her.
Yuxi was in a hurry, and whenever she had time to change her clothes, she wanted to go to Zhou's house to see what was going on, and said, "I won't change my clothes, I have to go and have a look."
Seeing this, Sister Quan said, "Then I will go with the girl!"
Yu Xi nodded and agreed without thinking. Grandma Quan has a lot of things to do, and if Zhou Shiya has something to do, she can also help.
On the way, Yuxi made up a lot of things in her brain, and the more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, and she kept urging the driver to hurry up. Sister Quan pressed Yuxi's hand and said, "Girl, hold your breath. Even if Miss Shiya really has something to do, there is Mrs. Zhou Zhou!" There is obviously something wrong with Xiaoling, but the relationship is not clear, so she didn't see it. After all, he is not young and has not encountered any setbacks, and his shortcomings will be exposed when encountering troubles.
Arriving at Zhou's house, Yuxi sees Zhou Shiya who is intact, and gets angry: "Zhou Shiya, there must be a limit to joking, do you know that this is scary?" On the way here, Yuxi made up her mind A lot, but I didn't expect Zhou Shiya to be fine.
Zhou Shiya was very happy to see Yuxi at first, but who would have thought that Yuxi would scold her head and face. At that moment, he asked inexplicably, "What's wrong?"
Yu Xi said with a cold face: "What's wrong with you? The person you sent said that you are not well, so let me come over to see you quickly. I thought something happened to you, and you were almost scared to death?"
After hearing this, Zhou Shiya's expression turned ugly: "I have someone come to the Duke's Mansion to ask when you have time, so I want to get together and talk."
Yuxi was also frightened just now, and when she saw Zhou Shiya doing well, she became angry. After listening to Zhou Shiya's words, she also felt that something was wrong: "The maid who came here to pass the message is the second-class maid Xiaoling by your side." If it weren't for the people around Zhou Shiya and holding the Zhou family's post, Yuxi would not be in a hurry hurriedly follow out.
Zhou Shiya took Yuxi to Mrs. Tuesday's yard, and explained to Yuxi while walking: "Xiaoling was asked to leave by Zhou Shirui last month." , but it is always impossible to write about a maid in the letter.
Yuxi knew that the problem was Zhou Shirui.
When Mrs. Zhou learned about this, she was also furious. She immediately went to find Mrs. Zhou, and asked Zhou Shirui and Xiaoling to find it.
Xiaoling knelt on the ground and explained the cause and effect of the incident. This matter is actually very simple, that is, the maid sent by Zhou Shiya to pass on the message to Yuxi fell down, and was unfortunately seen by Zhou Shirui. Zhou Shirui's brain was pumped at that time, so Xiaoling asked Yuxi to lie to Yuxi that Zhou Shiya was not good. In other words, this matter was a joke between Zhou Shirui and Yuxi.
Yuxi was very angry, and yelled at Zhou Shirui: "Are you kidding me? Do you know that this joke almost scared me to death?"
Zhou Shirui shouted at Xiaoling with resentment: "You damn girl, when will I let you do such a thing?" After finishing speaking, she stepped forward and kicked Xiaoling twice, kicking her to the ground, Said: "How dare you wrong me, I will kick you to death?"
Such a sturdy Zhou Shirui opened Yuxi's eyes.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou's face became even more ugly, and said: "If you dare to do it, you dare to do it. Sister-in-law, if you don't give me an explanation today, this matter will never end." How dare a girl have such courage to make such a joke. It's just that he is afraid of being held accountable and dare not admit it.
Mrs. Zhou immediately asked someone to call the matchmaker, and she was going to sell Xiaoling. When Xiao Ling heard that she was going to be sold, she didn't react at all, as if it wasn't her who was going to be sold. After Yuxi saw it, she looked a little suspicious. I'm afraid it's not that simple.
As for Zhou Shirui's punishment is very simple, Zhou Shirui will be grounded for half a year, and she will be ordered to copy the "Meditation Sutra" every day. Since confinement in the mansion is useless and can cause moths, then there will be no trouble if you are locked in the yard and not allowed to come out. Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhou felt that it would be appropriate to keep Zhou Shirui under house arrest in her yard until she got married.
Although Yuxi was frightened, she was not injured after all. The Zhou family had already punished Zhou Shirui, so if she was a relative, this matter could only end here.
ps: The power supply company is repairing the line. There will be a power outage today and tomorrow, and the call will not come until around 7 o'clock in the evening. I only found out about this in the morning. It is a tragedy.
Note: The second update is at nine o'clock. (to be continued)
