Chapter 171 Ma Xiuying Plays the Emotional Card and Defends the Ancestors of the Zhu Family

Chapter 171 Ma Xiuying plays the emotional card to bring glory to the ancestors of the Zhu family!

"It's been a bumpy ride today. After washing your feet, take the time to rest. I'll call you when it's time to eat.

bedside.

Zhu Di squatted on the pony and gave instructions while washing Xu Miaoyun's feet.

Xu Miaoyun had not finished eating the candied haws on both hands. Hearing this, she smiled and handed the candied haws to Zhu Di.

Saw the candied haws.

Zhu Di couldn't help but think of that crow's mouth!

There is a feeling that eating this candied haws is like eating up your own little cotton-padded jacket.

"Don't eat!"

puff!

Xu Miaoyun couldn't help being amused, "You take one, just one, and I will listen to whatever you say."

She discovered it.

Shiro is usually very energetic, but sometimes he is also petty.

Once you are too cautious.

Smaller than a woman!

Let's see, if she doesn't give birth to a little cotton-padded jacket this time, she will meet that chatty hawker again in the future.

The hawker shouldn't even think about making a penny off Shiro!

Zhu Di raised his head, smiled angrily and glared.

"You eat, eat one..."

Xu Miaoyun suppressed her laughter and deliberately provoked Zhu Di. No matter where Zhu Di turned her head, the candied haws in her hands always followed.

"Xu Daya, have you forgotten that you have already filled three account books, and half of the fourth one has been filled in."

"Then try to finish the fourth book before the little cotton-padded jacket is born." Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Di with a smile.

The words he spoke had a strong 'lao lao tone'.

Dong dong dong...

There was a sudden knock on the door.

Zhu Di glared, Xu Miaoyun stopped making trouble, took back the candied haws, and started eating it himself.

"Enter."

Zhu Di didn't even look back, thinking that the waiter had brought tea.

Ma Xiuying pushed the door open and was slightly stunned when she saw the scene inside the house. Then, a smile appeared on her lips, and she made a hissing gesture at Xu Miaoyun, who was stunned and blushing.

Xu Miaoyun was biting a candied haws.

She watched Ma Xiuying walk in with a smile and sit down at the table in the room.

His face was red, and he wanted to lower his head and hide it.

The beautiful toes moved wildly in the water, reminding Zhu Di.

"Don't move." Zhu Di grabbed Xu Miaoyun's feet and reminded, and then said without looking back: "Just put the tea on the table."

"Um."

Ma Xiuying suppressed her voice, hummed softly, picked up the empty teapot on the table, and deliberately made a little noise.

Xu Miaoyun helplessly covered her face...

Too embarrassed to see anyone!

While Zhu Di was helping Xu Miaoyun wipe his feet, he turned his back to the table and said somewhat unhappily: "After you put down your things, you can go out."

The waiter in this shop is so unruly.

Xu Miaoyun kept winking at Zhu Di.

Only then did Zhu Di notice. Turning around, he saw Ma Xiuying sitting on a stool by the table, looking at them with a smile.

After the experience of being bumped into at night last time, Zhu Di has adapted. He looked at Ma Xiuying and couldn't laugh or cry, "Mom, is this fun?"

How can you be an elder?

She is also the queen of a country whose mother is the queen of the world.

He is simply an old naughty boy!

Ma Xiuying glared with a smile, stood up and walked to the bed, "Are you still resenting me? You know someone comes in, but you don't avoid it yourself. Besides, it's really fun."

As she said that, Ma Xiuying smiled.

Every time she got along with the young couple, she found it particularly interesting and happy.

Zhu Di sneered shamelessly, turned his head, and glared at Xu Miaoyun with a smile, "I'll pour the water, and you stay with me."

‘Don’t leave me alone in this embarrassment! ’

Xu Miaoyun blushed and threatened Zhu Di with her eyes.

Zhu Di smiled brightly, picked up the basin, and disappeared in a flash.

Xu Miaoyun sat beside the bed, blushing and not daring to raise her head.

Ma Xiuying sat down by the bed, smiled and grabbed Xu Miaoyun's hand. Seeing Xu Miaoyun holding a bunch of candied haws in each hand, she couldn't help but laugh.

Finally, he smiled calmly, changed the subject and asked: "Do you feel any discomfort during the bumpy journey..."

…

Zhu Di went outside to pour water without loyalty, and deliberately went downstairs to order lunch for the children, and then slowly went upstairs.

When he opened the door and came in with a pot of hot tea, he saw his mother sitting by the bed and watching. Miaoyun seemed to be tired and fell asleep.

"Shh!"

When Ma Xiuying heard the sound of opening the door, she immediately turned around and signaled Zhu Di to be gentle.

Get up and come to the table.

Zhu Di poured a cup of tea for Ma Xiuying.

Ma Xiuying asked: "Is Miaoyun a little nervous during this time?"

Seeing Zhu Di nodding, he whispered: "As a man and husband, you have to take on all aspects during this period and do it right..."

Of course Zhu Di knew. Wingdings: ♦︎♦︎⬧︎♦︎◆︎⌧︎♦︎♦︎□︎❍︎

But still listen patiently.

Those who are willing to teach you life experience and tell the truth are often people who care about you.

Ma Xiuying saw that Zhu Di listened seriously, without being perfunctory or impatient. Combined with the daily life of the young couple together, she suddenly felt that there was no need to say anything.

He glared with a smile and asked in a low voice, "After this children's examination, do you have any plans to continue to compete for the college examination, the provincial examination, and then next year's general examination?"

Last year, Gan Ke, a candidate on the South List.

This year, Ganke will be the candidate for the North List.

There is only one chance left, which is next year’s exam.

After Chongba ranked Enke in Beibei last year, he had already decided that the imperial court would not issue Enke again in the next few years.

Nine years after the founding of the country, Enke has been open for several consecutive years.

The court has a group of talents in reserve and has appeased the scholars. There is no need to hold the special examination frequently.

If the fourth son does not strive for the joint examination next year, or fails in the attempt.

He will have to wait three years later.

If there is no special examination, the joint examination will be held once every three years.

Zhu Di was a little embarrassed. He actually planned to pass the college examination and get the status of a scholar and then stop for the time being.

With the status of a scholar, the old man can't torment him.

Moreover, passing the examination of the scholar temporarily appeased the old man.

But now looking at the queen mother's appearance, the old man seems to want him to directly strive for the joint examination.

Ma Xiuying saw Zhu Di's expression and understood that she guessed correctly that the fourth son planned to play a delaying tactic. She smiled and glared at him unhappily: "Do you think that you can delay for three years by avoiding this year's joint examination?"

"Don't forget, the power is in your father's hands."

"If he wants you to take the exam, he can hold the special examination!"

Scare the fourth son first.

As expected, Zhu Di's face suddenly became ugly.

Ma Xiuying smiled and said, "Now, officials and dignitaries in Jinling are discussing whether you will make continuous efforts in the imperial examinations, and at which stage you will be stuck."

"You also know what happened to our ancestors of the Zhu family."

"I don't know how many people respect your father on the surface, but laugh at our ancestors for being mud-legged and your father for being a beggar monk in private."

"If you can make a direct effort and pass the examination, people who know your identity will no longer dare to laugh at your father in private, and the ancestors of the old Zhu family will be proud of you."

...

To scare the fourth child and put an end to his idea of ​​delaying, you should play the emotional card.

She sees it clearly.

This child values ​​feelings.

If his parents were not away.

I'm afraid he would have left Daming with Miaoyun long ago.

"Miaoyun is about to give birth. Don't you want to take Miaoyun back to her parents' home in style after the baby is born?"

"Miaoyun doesn't care about these things. You can't help but consider Miaoyun if she follows you? As a husband, you will soon become a father. You can't be so selfish as to only think about yourself."

"My son Ma Xiuying won't be so selfish, right?"

Another accusation for the fourth child!

Zhu Di's lips twitched, and he looked up, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

He gave a thumbs up, "Mother, you have the emperor under your control. You first laid out the facts to scare me, then played the emotional card, and then changed the subject and put a big hat on me..."

After being discovered, Ma Xiuying smiled and glared, and assured: "Mother knows that you don't want to become an official for the time being. Even if you succeed in the imperial examination next year, it will be next year. Mother and your father will not force you to become an official. We just want you to make our Zhu family proud once."

Now dispel the concerns of the fourth child first, and then find another excuse when you regret it.

"Mom, I can't guarantee that you can succeed. It's very likely that you will fail in the Tongsheng exam. There are many examples like this..."

"You dare!" Ma Xiuying laughed in anger, staring and scolding: "If you fail the Tongsheng exam, no matter whether you are really incompetent or do it on purpose, if your father doesn't do it, I will break your legs first! Mom can't afford to lose this man!"

"It's settled. You fight for our ancestors of the Zhu family and make continuous efforts. Mom won't disturb you. Call me at lunch."

Zhu Di nodded helplessly, got up and sent Ma Xiuying back to the room.

Back in the room, just closed the door.

I heard a muffled laugh coming from the bed.

Walking to the bed, I saw someone with his face covered and the quilt shaking slightly.

Zhu Di was immediately amused, "So you have been pretending to sleep?"

Xu Miaoyun pulled down the quilt, tried to hold back her laughter, and joked: "I will break your legs first!"

"You are pretending to sleep and eavesdropping!"

"Can you blame me? You are so disloyal to leave me behind. In order to avoid embarrassment, my mother asked me to rest, so of course I have to pretend to sleep!"

...

The sound of laughter and playfulness rang out in the house.

At noon, Zhou Shixian brought more than 100 Langlang grilled fish to Wangxian Tower.

It was provided free of charge to every table of children taking the imperial examination.

Sure enough, it received rave reviews.

After seeing the response, Zhou Shixian asked Zhu Di if he could ask about the candidates in other inns in the city and provide them to these children in the evening.

Zhu Di was very supportive of Zhou Shixian's ability to draw inferences from one example.

...

After dinner.

Before rest.

Zhu Di supported Xu Miaoyun and went to the children's room to check if there were any naughty children who were not sleeping or kicked off the quilt.

When they reached the last room and settled down.

Just about to leave.

Cai Lu opened her eyes in a daze, "Master, Master's wife..."

She muttered, her eyelids seemed very heavy, and she closed her eyes uncontrollably.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but smile at each other.

They were really tired.

In the afternoon, Ma Xiuying accompanied Xu Miaoyun.

Zhu Di and Zhou Shixian took these naughty kids to the outside of the examination venue and took a look at the entire county.

The children were having fun.

Nervous before the exam, can't sleep? Absolutely not!

The two quietly walked out of the girls' rooms and returned to their own room.

In the next room.

Ma Xiuying looked through the window and saw that the light from Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun's room was extinguished. She smiled and ordered: "Mingxia, you should go to rest too."

Mingxia smiled and said: "My queen, you are very happy today. Is there anything good?"

"Yes." Ma Xiuying said happily: "The fourth son agreed to continue to strive for the imperial examination."

"Really? That's great. If the emperor knew, he would be so happy that he could eat an extra bowl of rice." Mingxia was very happy after hearing this.

...

The next day.

The sky was slightly white.

Zhu Di slowly opened his eyes.

"Mr. Zhu, are you nervous? Do you have confidence?"

The first moment he opened his eyes, a smiling and joking voice sounded in his ears.
