The boy who looked at the list didn't come back until almost noon.
"Madam, I'm very happy, my young master has passed the exam!" The young man stepped forward with excitement and reported: "There were so many people looking at the results that I had to squeeze in for a long time to take a look. My young master has passed the exam.
Ranked eleventh.”
There are a total of 230 people admitted in Qiuwei this time, and eleven is already an excellent ranking.
Mrs. Zheng was very happy after hearing the good news, and generously gave thick red envelopes to all the servants in the yard. Although Ye Qingning said nothing, her eyes and eyebrows were full of joy and pride.
Ye Qinglan smiled and joked: "Congratulations to Sixth Sister."
Ye Qingning gave Ye Qinglan a sweet and angry look: "It's not like I passed the Qiuwei exam, so there is nothing to congratulate."
"My husband is your honor and your wife is your honor!" Ye Qinglan answered smoothly. As expected, she was glared at fiercely, but the look in her eyes was not fierce at all, but contained infinite shyness.
Ye Qinglan laughed happily. Before Cui Yu lived in the house, Ye Qingning teased her every day, but now things have finally changed.
Cui Wan was worried about Cui Yu and sent someone to Cui Mansion to inquire about the news. In the afternoon, Cui Mansion sent good news. Cui Yu actually ranked first in high school, Xie Yuan!
Cui Wan was excited and happy, and hurriedly started preparing gifts.
Ye Qinglan soon learned the good news, and was both happy and a little surprised. Cui Yu usually looked a little blank, but he really didn't expect that he could pass the Jie Yuan exam in one fell swoop.
The scientific examination at this time was much stricter than the college entrance examination in later generations. The admission ratio was about ten to one, and it was already a great thing to pass the examination. What's more, it was ranked first. Jieyuan was equivalent to the top scorer in the national college entrance examination.
!
No wonder Cui Wan was so happy. Even after she heard such good news, she felt that it was appropriate to prepare a small gift. But, what should I give? It is obviously unrealistic to go out and buy gifts. Besides,
With the little money she had, she couldn't buy anything valuable. After much deliberation, the only option left was to do it herself.
She really can't do needlework, and writing, calligraphy and painting are not her strong points. How about making some food with her own hands? However, she has never entered the kitchen since she traveled through time...
Just when Ye Qinglan was racking her brains for the gift, the maid next to Cui Wan came to Chao Yun and said with a smile: "Miss Ten, the young mistress has asked the slave to invite you to come and talk!"
Ye Qinglan responded with a smile.
When Ye Qinglan saw Cui Wan, who was radiant and smiling, the first thing she said was: "Brother Cui Shi graduated from high school. This is such a happy event. Congratulations to my cousin." Cui Wan is naturally proud of his brother who is so promising.
There is also brilliance.
Cui Wan said with a smile: "Yeah, I really didn't expect that he could pass the exam. Not only his father and mother are happy, but the Cui clan members also feel proud. They plan to hold a three-day flowing banquet to celebrate. I plan to go back tomorrow to see
Look, my mother-in-law has already agreed. If you are free, why not follow me to Cui Mansion!"
If the second brother saw Ye Qinglan and went to congratulate him, I don't know how happy he would be.
Ye Qinglan hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a smile. It was too depressing to stay in the mansion every day, so it would be good to go out and relax. Anyway, it's not like he had never been to Cui Mansion.
Ye Qingning had arranged her marriage and could not leave the house at will. She could only watch helplessly as Ye Qinglan followed Cui Wan and Ye Yuanwei to the Cui Mansion. Zheng went to the Dingguo Mansion to send congratulatory gifts.
He heard the message from his servants and hurriedly came out to welcome Cui Wan. Cui Yu also came to greet Cui Wan. When he saw the familiar figure next to Cui Wan, Cui Yu's eyes suddenly lit up. There was a sweet feeling in his heart.
meaning.
Unexpectedly, she also came to congratulate him.
"Congratulations to Brother Cui Shi for graduating from high school." Ye Qinglan said with a generous smile: "In a hurry, I didn't prepare any special gifts. I hope Brother Cui doesn't dislike this small gift."
Cui Yu happily took the exquisite wooden box with his own hands, opened it and took a look, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with joy: "This is the best Duan Inkstone, the tenth sister is really thoughtful."
...She won't tell anyone that this Fang Inkstone was actually taken from cheap dad Ye Chengli's study.
Ye Qinglan smiled without changing her expression: "Brother Cui Shi is so polite."
From the corner of his eye, He caught sight of Cui Yu's excited look. He was angry and funny at the same time. It was just an inkstone, how could he be so happy? You stupid boy with no future!
The Cui Mansion will hold a flowing banquet for three days, and today is the first day. All the people who came are members of the Cui family. Cui Wan greeted all the female relatives one by one. Ye Qinglan didn't have to do anything, just follow Cui Wan.
Just keep your gentle side and keep a decent smile.
However, there were really many eyes looking at her.
It was a rare occasion for Cui Wan to come back and she didn't bring anyone else but her husband's cousin. Thinking of Cui Yu, who had not yet been engaged, naturally made people think about it. As a result, Ye Qinglan looked at Ye Qinglan with a lot more curiosity and curiosity.
interest.
This Miss Ye Shi is about twelve or thirteen years old. She is not tall, but she has a pleasant appearance and is very decent and generous in her speech and behavior. There are also many girls from the Cui family here, but they are all outcompeted.
But Ye Qinglan secretly regretted it. If she had known it would be so conspicuous, she really shouldn't have come here. Looking at the evaluation eyes of everyone, she has become a commodity on the shelf, being judged by others to see if she is worthy of being the most popular person in the Cui family.
The most dazzling young man. This feeling is really not a good one.
Cui Wan was always attentive, and when she saw that Ye Qinglan was not interested in talking, she led Ye Qinglan to sit down in the side hall and take a rest for a while.
Before I could say anything else, a woman in her thirties walked in with a smile: "My aunt is back."
Cui Wan smiled slightly and then greeted the visitor as if nothing had happened.
Ye Qinglan looked at this woman casually. Judging from her dress, she was obviously a female family member of a branch of the Cui Mansion. She had a good-looking appearance. Upon closer inspection, she seemed a bit familiar. However, she was very sure that she had never seen her before.
This woman.
An idea flashed in Ye Qinglan's mind, and she had already guessed the identity of the person coming.
This woman should be Cui Jing’s mother. It’s self-evident why she came to Cui Wan. Sure enough, I heard this woman say with a smile: “…Jing Niang is young and ignorant, if she talks
If I did something wrong, please forgive me."
Cui Wan smiled gently and said: "Fourth Aunt, don't say that. Jing Niang has always been gentle and sensible, and even her mother-in-law often praises her. She is pregnant now and should not go out and walk around. Otherwise, I will bring her back with me this time.
"
A daughter who is married as a concubine is not qualified to return to her parents' home, let alone visit Cui Jing. But as a mother, how can any mother not miss her daughter?
With a smile on her face, the woman asked about Cui Jing's current situation. Cui Wan smiled and said: "Ms. Jing has been pregnant for more than five months, and her belly is not small. However, the fetus is very stable. Her appetite has been very good recently.
Okay. I guess the baby will be born by the end of the year. Just don’t worry, fourth aunt, I will definitely take good care of Jing Niang."
The woman thanked her hurriedly and left with satisfaction.
Cui Wan looked at the woman's figure and thought of what her mother He had said, and her mind was in a state of confusion. In fact, in the past two months, He had already sent two messages to her.
Several experienced midwives came to Cui Jing, but they were all blocked by her...
Ye Qinglan knew her thoughts very well and comforted her in a low voice: "There must be a road to the mountain before the car. Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about this all the time." As long as Cui Wan firmed up her position, He could not force Cui Wan to do such a harmful thing.
It’s a shady thing!
Cui Wan couldn't help but sigh. Ye Qinglan said this because she didn't understand He. But she knew her mother's temper very well. As long as it concerns herself, let alone Cui Jing, even if it is a blood relationship,
In the near future, Mr. He will also be ruthless and take action...
As expected, after the lively luncheon, Mr. He sent someone to ask Cui Wan to go into the room to talk alone.
Mother and daughter were whispering, so it was naturally inconvenient for Ye Qinglan to follow her, so she had to stay with a few girls from the Cui Mansion.
After Cui Wan entered the house, Mr. He immediately ordered all the servants to leave. Only mother and daughter were left in the house. There was no need to worry about talking.
"Wan Niang, I sent someone to deliver a message to you before, why did you block it all?" He frowned slightly unhappily: "Jing Niang is already more than five months pregnant. If it hadn't been done earlier,
Make preparations. Once your mother-in-law has found a midwife, it will not be easy to do anything else."
Cui Wan said nothing.
He added: "You came just in time this time. Take those midwives with you when you go back. Anyway, Jingniang was specially selected by our Cui family to be our concubine, so it is reasonable for me to send some midwives there."
I don’t think others will become suspicious. Even if your mother-in-law becomes suspicious by then, as long as the child is born safely, she won’t get to the bottom of it. By then, if you act more sad and sad, I’m sure no one will suspect you.
…”
"Mom," Cui Wan mustered up the courage to interrupt He: "I don't want to take these midwives back."
Mrs. He was startled, then smiled and said: "Are you worried that these midwives are not secretive? Just don't worry, I have specially selected these midwives, and they have already taken care of them. They will never reveal any secrets afterwards.
…”
"That's not what I meant." Cui Wan didn't dare to look at He: "Mom, I won't do this to Jing Niang."
…
He's mouth was slightly open, and he was speechless for a long time.
Cui Wan finally said the words deep in her heart, and she felt relaxed all over. But seeing He's disbelief, Cui Wan couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
He took a deep breath and said, "Wan Niang, what do you mean by what you just said? You might as well say it clearly." There was already a bit of anger in her words.
Cui Wan had expected that Mrs. He would be angry, but she didn't panic. She said softly: "Mom, I know you are doing this for my own good. But, I don't want to do this."
Even if Cui Jing is not her cousin, she will never commit murder and seize her son. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is mine.
