After Ye Qinglan's birthday, life became much better.
Ye Qingning is the eldest daughter-in-law, and Cui Wan is the eldest daughter-in-law. Their attitudes represent Zheng's attitude. No matter how Xue doesn't like Ye Qinglan, she won't treat her as unscrupulously and harshly as before.
Ye Qingfu was so greedy for the congratulatory gifts that Ye Qinglan got, and she would show envy in front of Ye Qinglan from time to time. Such as: "A box full of pearls ground into pearl powder is such a waste, it's better to make them into hairpins", "That set of ruby hair ornaments"
"Why don't you wear the jewelry? If you don't like it, please lend it to me for two days." Words like this have been whispered in Ye Qinglan's ears so many times.
Naturally, Ye Qinglan would not start this conversation, and would quickly change the topic every time Ye Qingfu talked to herself. After a few times, Ye Qingfu would stop mentioning it angrily.
After spring, the rankings will be released half a month later.
Because Zheng Junyan participated in Chunwei, Ye Qingning naturally paid close attention to the release of Chunwei's results. The day before the results were released, he specifically went to beg his brother Ye Yuanwei to see the results.
Ye Yuanwei knew that Ye Qingning was thin-skinned, so he didn't tease her. He just smiled and agreed. Early the next morning, at dawn, he went to the Gongyuan to look at the results.
Ye Qingning was restless and even had no interest in chatting. Ye Qinglan smiled and joked: "Sixth sister, don't worry, cousin Zheng will definitely be on the list. Once you pass the palace examination, you will be a Jinshi, and you will wait for the new Jinshi to marry you.
That’s it.”
Ye Qingning blushed and spat at her. After a few words of laughter, his uneasy heart calmed down a lot.
Cui Wan was also worried about Cui Yu. She sent people to Cui Mansion early in the morning to wait for news. However, she waited and waited for no reply. She felt secretly anxious.
If Cui Yu's wonderful performance in Qiu Wei is based on, Chun Wei is fully capable of winning the championship this time. However, he got seriously ill before the exam, although he managed to go to the examination room. After the exam, he was exhausted and stayed in bed.
He lay down for half a month and didn't start to get out of bed until these two days. Today, when the results were released in spring, He was not willing to let Cui Yu squeeze in to read the results, but Cui Yu was extremely insistent and went there early in the morning.
While everyone was waiting anxiously, Ye Yuanwei finally came back near noon.
Ye Qingning and Cui Wan rushed up to him and asked in unison: "Eldest brother (father-in-law). Did cousin (second brother) pass the exam?"
Ye Yuanwei, however, deliberately kept it secret: "I squeezed in for a long time before taking a look, and was quickly squeezed out. I hurried back all the way, and now I am tired and thirsty. No one gave me a glass of water."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cup of hot tea was delivered to him: "Cousin, please drink tea." Behind the teacup was Ye Qinglan's sweet smile.
Ye Yuanwei took the tea cup and joked with a smile: "Is my tenth cousin also so concerned about the results of Chunwei's results?" Then he thought of something and blinked ambiguously: "Are you worried that Cui Yu will fail the exam?"
Ye Qinglan: "..."
Cui Wan coughed and hurriedly took over the conversation: "Ms. sir, please stop tempting us. Did the second brother and cousin Zheng pass the exam?"
Ye Yuanwei stopped showing off and responded with a smile: "Both of them passed the exam."
Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief and had smiles on their faces.
Ye Qinglan finally let go of a big stone in her heart. These days, every time she thinks of Cui Yu, she feels a faint sense of guilt. If Cui Yu fails the Chunwei exam this time, she will definitely have an uneasy conscience...
Wait, what's going on with Ye Yuanwei's hesitant expression? Ye Qinglan's heart sank, and she asked: "Cousin, how many people got successful in this spring exam? What were the rankings of Cousin Zheng and Brother Cui Shi?"
This question really gets to the point.
Ye Yuanwei hesitated for a moment, thinking that he could not hide this matter, so he told the truth: "Chun Wei took a total of 112 people. Jun Yan passed the exam and passed the 18th place, Cui Yu..."
Cui Wan's heart skipped a beat. She asked urgently: "How many names did the second brother pass?"
Ye Yuanwei sighed: "I passed the exam fifty-fourth." This ranking is not very good. There is no hope for the first-class. It would be better if he won the second-class Jinshi. If he failed to win the third-class Jinshi, it would be true.
of chagrin.
The smile on Cui Wan's face faded and she frowned slightly. Her previous joy when she found out that Cui Yu had passed the exam was greatly reduced. Because of Cui Yu's wonderful performance in autumn last year, her family's expectations for Cui Yu were naturally much higher.
Although I have passed the exam now, the rank is really far from what I expected...
"It's always a good thing to pass the exam." Ye Yuanwei smiled and comforted Cui Wan: "There are so many candidates taking the Chunwei exam, almost one out of twenty. Anyone who can be on the list is already a leader. He is only fifteen this year.
At the age of 10, he passed the Chunwei exam, which is already enough glory."
Zheng also smiled and responded: "Yuan Wei is right. For such a happy event, you have to go back and see it. Remember to prepare a generous gift."
Cui Wan came back to her senses and responded with a smile.
At this moment, the housekeeper who was sent to Cui Mansion to wait for the response also came back and reported back with a smile: "Young Mistress is very happy. Second Young Master Cui has won the exam. Madam is very happy and ordered the old slave to come back to tell Young Mistress the good news."
Cui Wan nodded with a smile, sighed softly in her heart, and put aside this undue regret. Just as Ye Yuanwei said, I don’t know how many students stop at the Spring Festival. Cui Yu can pass the exam at a young age, which is already
It's a happy event that shines brightly in the family.
Needless to say, in the afternoon, Mrs. Zheng prepared congratulatory gifts and returned to the Duke of Zheng's Mansion. Cui Wan returned to the Cui Mansion accompanied by Ye Yuanwei.
This time, Cui Wan did not invite Ye Qinglan to accompany him.
Ye Qingning knew the reason, but deliberately teased Ye Qinglan: "Thirteenth sister, are you planning to never see Cui Yu again in the future?"
Ye Qinglan smiled: "Since we are in-laws, it is inevitable to meet in the future. However, I will not go to the Cui Mansion again." Since I have made up my mind to keep a distance, it is better not to go to the Cui Mansion. Cui Wan is smart and attentive, and probably
He also guessed what she was thinking, so he didn't invite her to go with him, which saved her a lot of trouble.
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Ye Qingning casually dropped the topic.
Needless to say, the two sisters gossiped, but they said that everyone in the Cui Mansion was beaming with joy, and long firecrackers were set off one after another.
He's face was radiant, and Cui Yu was also very happy. But in this happiness, there was a hint of disappointment. Passing the exam was indeed something to be happy about, but it was much worse than he expected. He originally wanted to
To get into the top three and compete for the top spot in the imperial examination...
Mrs. He glanced at him, as if she could read his thoughts, smiled and comforted: "Yu'er, you took the Chunwei exam even though you were sick. You are lucky enough to pass the exam. No need to worry about your ranking anymore."
Although she also hoped that Cui Yu would do better in the exam, the current result was already unexpectedly good.
Cui Yu hummed shyly and was about to open his mouth to say something when someone came to report: "The eldest lady and uncle are back."
Mr. He was very happy and immediately smiled and said: "Hurry up and welcome them in."
Cui Yu's heart was also beating fast. The eldest sister and brother-in-law were here, and she should also come to see him...
Unfortunately, Cui Yu's expectations were destined to come to nothing. After Cui Wan and Ye Yuanwei came in, there was no figure behind them that he had longed for.
Cui Yu was never good at hiding his thoughts, and his disappointment was clearly revealed.
Cui Wan and He Ming clearly noticed it, but they had a tacit understanding and didn't mention it. The topic only revolved around the release of the Chunwei list.
"After the results are released, will I have to take the palace examination soon?" Cui Wan asked with a smile.
Cui Yu composed himself and responded with a smile: "Well, there will be a palace examination within ten days after the results are released." The palace examination is the last level of the scientific examination. The students who were listed in the spring will have the opportunity to meet Tianyan. At this time, eloquence is fluent.
Those who perform wonderfully will naturally have a bright future.
He smiled and warned: "Don't be stupid when the time comes. You must perform well."
Cui Yu nodded seriously: "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely try my best to come back with a second-class Jinshi degree." There is no hope of being ranked second in the number one scholar list. At least I have to try my best to get a Jinshi degree. In the future, I will propose marriage to Changyuan Uncle Mansion.
It can make Ye Qinglan more beautiful...
Cui Yu was thinking wildly, his eyes shining brightly unconsciously.
Cui Wan looked at it, but her heart was heavy. Poor second brother, he still doesn't know his mother's true plan! After the palace examination, everything has settled, and his mother will start to arrange the marriage for him. Given the current situation,
Judging from the results, the possibility of a relationship between him and Ye Qinglan is extremely slim!
Sure enough, after Mr. He deliberately pushed Cui Yu and Ye Yuanwei away, he smiled and said to Cui Wan: "Mother Wan, Yu'er is really going to be overjoyed this time."
Cui Wan was startled: "What's wrong?"
He's eyebrows were full of unconcealable joy: "A few days ago, Prime Minister Luo's wife, Mrs. Wang, celebrated her birthday, and I went there too. There is also a second young lady in Luo Mansion who has not left the cabinet. She is a legitimate daughter-in-law and has outstanding appearance.
, the character is also impeccable..."
Miss Luo Er? Luo Miaoke?
Cui Wan was really shocked this time and couldn't help but interrupt He: "Mother, Miss Luo seems to be one year older than her second brother! Why haven't you agreed on the marriage yet?"
He said with a proud smile: "I heard that we had a relationship before, and the other party was the young master of Li Shangshu's house. Unfortunately, this young master Li was a short-lived ghost. He fell seriously ill at the end of the year and died like this. Originally, he died like this.
The marriage scheduled for this year had no choice but to give up. This happened to Miss Luo Er, and it was not easy to find a satisfactory marriage. Mrs. Wang heard that Yu'er had not been engaged yet, and she revealed it in her words.
It means getting married."
The more He talked, the more excited he became: "The eldest lady in Prime Minister Luo's house is now the third prince's concubine. If Yu'er can marry Miss Luo Er, she will become the third prince's in-laws. The future of Yu'er will be great.
There are benefits!”
Normally, with Cui Yushu's identity, she would not have caught Mrs. Wang's eyes anyway. But now, Mrs. Wang is willing to take the initiative to reveal the intention of getting married. It is really Cui Yu's luck. (To be continued. If
