Ye Zelin shook his head, "I blame you for what you did."

Hua Fushu said, "I didn't want to smooth things over. I turned around and saw my father. He was so happy. I was somehow afraid that you and my grandfather would quarrel, so I interrupted you and your grandfather."

Ye Zelin said: "Don't think too much, I'm not unhappy. It's rare for my grandfather to take the initiative to celebrate the New Year with us. Even though my father didn't say anything, I can see how happy he is. I just don't want to eat my grandfather's red bean cake. My grandfather asked me to eat red bean cake, and I remembered what happened back then.”

Hua Fushu could understand his mood. She said, "My grandfather will not do anything in full view of the public."

Ye Zelin sighed: "I know my grandfather won't add anything to the red bean cake, but I still can't get over that hurdle in my heart."

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Hua Fushu felt a little sorry for Ye Zelin. They were both grandsons of the Ye family. The old general had a different attitude towards each grandson. He loved a grandson to the point of hurting him to the core, but he who hated a grandson could even kill him. .

The two returned to Guanju Pavilion. Ye Zelin took out a small brocade box and gave it to Hua Fushu, "A New Year's gift for you."

"Give it to me?"

Hua Fushu took the small brocade box and opened it. She saw that inside the brocade box was a waving hairpin with several plum blossoms carved from jade. On the side was a butterfly spreading its wings and about to fly. Under the butterfly wings were pendants. With some tassels.

The style of this step is not new, but it is very exquisite.

She took out the Bu Yao, glanced at it a few times, then looked up at Ye Zelin, her clear apricot eyes unable to contain the joyful smile, "This is the first time you have given me a serious gift."

The white jade phoenix-head hairpin was not a gift from Ye Zelin. No one wanted the phoenix-head hairpin, so Ye Zelin thought of giving it to her.

Seeing that her words were not rigorous, Ye Zelin corrected her statement, "This is my first New Year's gift to you."

He took a step back, bowed to the flowers, and said, "Happy New Year and Happy New Year, may my wife have fireworks every year and be safe every year."

Hua Fushu bowed and returned the greeting. She said, "We are happy and happy together. I also hope that you will live thousands of years and never miss spring."

"Thank you, madam."

"Thank you, husband."

The two smiled at each other.

The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the old general made an agreement with the Rongguo Duke's Mansion that he would go to the Rongguo Duke's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings today.

Hua Fushu got up early to dress up. She wore a lilac-colored shirt and skirt, put on her makeup and painted Emei.

Ye Zelin tied the hairpin he gave her to her into her bun, looked at the flowers in the mirror and said, "Father gave me Rongyue pear blossoms as a gift. I gave you the affectionate ones, do you like them?"

Hua Fushu touched Bu Yao's hairpin, her pink face full of spring, "I like it."

In the morning, the old general took his whole family to the Rongguo Duke's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings. He did not take Mrs. Xu with him. A respectable family would not take his concubine or aunt out.

In the afternoon, Ye Zelin took Hua Fushu to the Kong family to pay New Year greetings.

Many people go to the Kong family to pay New Year's greetings. In addition to relatives of the Kong family, most of the people paying New Year's greetings are students or disciples of Mr. Confucius.

New Year's greeters came one after another, almost breaking the threshold of the Kong family. Perhaps even Kong Laolian didn't know how many students he had taught.

Mr. Kong can be said to be a true man of talents.

Ye Zelin and his wife met Ling Zhiheng's family at the door of Kong's house, who also came to pay New Year's greetings.

Ling Zhiheng's father, Ling Shilang, was one of Mr. Kong's serious disciples, and he was also one of Mr. Kong's most valued disciples. The Ling family and the Kong family were in the same capital, and the Ling family would go to the Kong family to pay New Year's greetings no matter what.

The two met Mr. Kong, chatted with him and returned home soon after.

The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day when a married woman returns to her natal family to visit. Hua Fushu's natal family is in Su Nian. Normally, Ye Zelin should accompany her back to her natal family to visit relatives on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

The general examination was coming soon, and Ye Zelin spent all his time preparing for the exam except for the unavoidable visits. He had no extra time to accompany Hua Fushu back to her parents' home.

Hua Fushu also knew that Ye Zelin had no family background and that it would be awkward for her to return to her parents' home alone. Before the second day of the second year of junior high school, she sent a letter back to Su Nian, telling her parents that she would not return to her parents' home and that she would go back to visit them when she and Ye Zelin were free.

Before she could tell Ye Zelin about not going back to her parents' home, Ye Zelin said it first. He felt deeply apologetic and said, "Fu Shu, I should go back to Su Nian with you to visit my father and mother. The exam is coming soon. I really have no time to do it. Wait. How about I come back to Su Nian with you after the exam?"

Hua Fushu smiled and said, "We agreed that we will go back to Su Nian after your test is over. Don't let your pigeons go then."

Ye Zelin said firmly: "No."

Hua Fushu held Ye Zelin's arm and said, "I know you are preparing for the exam with all your heart. Apart from going to Rongguo Palace and the Kong family to pay New Year greetings, you don't even go to the Ling family. You must not have time to accompany me back to my parents' home. I have already written I wrote a letter to my parents and told them that I will not go back to my parents’ home. When we are free, we will go back to see them. Even though we didn’t go back, I also sent back the New Year gifts with someone.”

After the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Ye Zelin returned to the Kong family private school to attend classes. Mr. Kong had strict requirements for students who were about to take the exam and only gave them five days of annual leave.

The annual leave has passed and students must return to private schools on time.

The old general was still the person in the general's palace who was most opposed to Ye Zelin's participation in the imperial examination.

The Ye family has been generals for generations, guarding the Western Territory. This is the ancestral precept passed down from generation to generation, and no one has ever violated it. Ye Zelin's insistence on taking the path of a civil servant was going against his ancestors. As the head of the Ye family, the old general could not let Ye Zelin deviate from the Ye family's ancestral precepts.

As a father, Ye Shiheng no longer stops Ye Zelin.

The old general was fighting alone, so he changed his strategy. He wanted to know why Ye Zelin wanted to take the imperial examination. Maybe if he knew the reason why Ye Zelin wanted to take the imperial examination, he would have a way to dissuade him.

He approached Hua Fushu. She was the most supportive of Ye Zelin's participation in the imperial examination. She must know why Ye Zelin insisted on taking the imperial examination.

The old general wanted to know the reason why Ye Zelin took the imperial examination. Hua Fushu was surprised and looked at the old general blankly.

Everyone knew that the old general did not allow Ye Zelin to participate in the imperial examination. He threatened to beat Ye Zelin to death several times, and also said that Ye Zelin would be removed from the Ye family tree. How could he ask Ye Zelin why he wanted to take the imperial examination.

too weird.

The old general is so strange.

"What are you looking at? Take back your protruding dead fish eyes." The old general shouted, and he just asked Ye Zelin why he wanted to take the scientific examination and what was strange about it.

He was very normal, and Hua Fushu's expression clearly thought that his grandfather was going to do something big.

Hua Fushu took back her protruding dead fish eyes, no, her wide almond eyes.

The old general asked Ye Zelin why she wanted to take the scientific examination and what she should say.

She didn't know much.

Ye Zelin wants to take the imperial examination. On the one hand, he has the talent and ability. On the other hand, the people behind Ye Zelin need some support.

As for whether Ye Zelin had any other reasons for insisting on taking the imperial examination, she didn't know.
