dressed as a scholar

Qiao Hezhi got out of the carriage and hurried to the Longevity Hall. Since Mrs. Chen was admonished by Fang Yu, this side has been quiet for a few days. Now the courtyard where An has been living for a long time is full of laughter and laughter. He can hear the noise inside from outside the courtyard. Talk loudly.

"I just want to see that you two are so good at giving birth, and how lucky you are to see how round your little face is. Custodian can give birth to a big fat boy for my son."

"Old madam, we are all children from the countryside, and we are not as wealthy as our husband and son. Does the lord dislike us?"

"Nonsense, he is just from a businessman's family, he is a vixen, he usually hooks up with my son around, such a filial child, now he doesn't listen to my old mother. You have to be obedient and listen to me, If you can make my son change his mind, can we live happily without you?"

"We both listen to the old lady's orders, and we must be filial to the old lady."

Qiao Hezhi stood at the door and listened for a long time before going in. First, he saluted Chen Shi, and soon he saw the two people brought back, grouped beside Chen Shi, one was pinched by someone's leg, the other And the same person hung his back, so filial and sensible.

Seeing that they are only fourteen or fifteen years old, although the two of them can't be called handsome, they can be called handsome, and their bodies are stronger than him, so they don't make people look thin.

"It's just right here." Seeing the people coming in, Mrs. Chen sat up a little bit: "I brought these two children back from my hometown specially, and they are both good children from innocent families. Our house is deserted. Thinking about it, two more people will accompany Yu'er. Just look at the people and let the two children serve tea, and the matter is settled, and we are not a family with many rules."

"Didn't the mother-in-law go to the temple to burn incense and pray for the Lord, why did she go back to her hometown and bring her two children?"

"I met these two children on the way back. There was an accident in their family, and some relatives in the family were sick and asked for money for medicine. There was really no way to ask for them. They were familiar with each other before. How could they come to me? I have the heart to let them cry and beg. Giving some money to bring the two children back is also a good thing to do good deeds."

"My mother-in-law is kind-hearted, it doesn't hurt to have two more servants at home."

Qiao Hezhi didn't believe much in Chen's statement that he brought her back halfway. It was likely that he had discussed it with him long ago. Fang Yu was in charge of Chen's expenses when he was at home. Be a rich old lady to support, but the premise is that each account must have a clear account, what expenses are used.

Under this kind of management, Mrs. Chen doesn't have any private money in his hands, so he probably planned to get a large amount of sesame oil money from him, and then use it on the buyer.

Fang Yu is very strict with Chen. She is not comfortable spending money, and she has no close confidants. She has long been dissatisfied. Yu waited by her side, and secondly, he obediently listened to her so that he could do things for her.

Qiao Hezhi frowned. After all, he was careless. He shouldn't have given the sesame oil money to Mrs. Chen: "Nowadays, the Lord is going to Fucheng to take the exam. The house is really deserted. If the mother-in-law feels lonely, she wants two people to talk and be a companion. , let these two children stay in the mother-in-law's house to take care of them."

Seeing Qiao Hezhi doing Tai Chi with her, Mrs. Chen felt dissatisfied: "Of course I want to talk to me, but I also want to serve Yu'er. I said earlier that I wanted to take the girl from the Yin family into the house as a concubine, but I still let her be a concubine." You got mixed up, and now you are married to another family. You have been in the house for almost a year, and you haven't seen the slightest movement in your stomach, but you don't look like a married man who arranges for the men in the family to serve you. Is it possible that you still want me? It's impossible to guard you alone! Since you can't manage the matter, I will worry about it for you, don't say any more excuses!"

Qiao Hezhi knew that the Chen family would have to talk about Yin Rao'er's affairs earlier, he said: "It's okay for mother-in-law to be the master, but after all, she is a concubine for the master. As long as he agrees, I won't complain. But if the master doesn't like it, I will If he left someone behind, wouldn't he be blaming me when he comes back, I can't afford this crime."

"How about this, the two of them will stay in the mother-in-law's house and take care of them first, and then discuss the matter of serving tea when the lord comes back."

"If you don't agree, you don't agree. Don't play Yu'er's banner for me!"

"If it's a big deal, let Yu'er take care of it. Don't think that I don't know what you're up to. I just want to wait for Yu'er to come back and have sex with him, just as my old lady can't control you!" Chen slapped the table angrily: "You two go now and pour the tea. I still don't believe it. I can't decide to give Yu Er two concubines today. There is no mother-in-law who can't take concubines for her son. reason!"

Seeing the quarrel between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the two felt a little scared in their hearts, but with the old lady's words, they hurriedly poured tea: "Also, invite the husband to drink tea from the concubine's room. From now on, the slave and maid will serve you with all their heart Your lord, serve the old lady and husband, and extend the family with the Fang family."

Qiao Hezhi didn't say anything, and he didn't go to pick up the tea. The two looked at Mrs. Chen pitifully.

"You can't do it wrong, you don't respect your elders, you are arrogant, you are going to be trained in the yamen."

"My mother-in-law insists on accusing me of these crimes, I have a hard time denying it." Qiao Hezhi said slowly: "Hezhi still has something to do, so he stepped down first."

Looking at the person who just left the yard like that, Chen was so out of breath: "Your waist is stiff, I just want to keep you! See what happens to you!"

……

On the afternoon of August [-]th, Fang Yu handed in the examination papers, and Qiu Wei was considered to have come to an end.When he got out of the small room, he felt comfortable all over. Looking at the clouds in the sky, he impatiently picked up his things and walked out of the examination room. He didn't want to stay in this place any longer. .

Candidates filed out from the door, and there was already a sea of ​​people outside.

"Husband!"

An extremely joyful and soft voice sounded in his ears, he turned his head subconsciously, and saw a young man in plain clothes running straight towards this end, brushing past him and quickly pounced on the one next to him In the arms of famous scholars.

The scholar fondled his little brother's hair: "I've waited for a long time."

"It won't be long, is your husband tired? I've prepared food at home." The little brother happily asked about the scholar's situation, and then took the book box from him: "I'll get it for my husband."

Fang Yu watched from the other side in a daze, until the couple had gone far away and disappeared into the crowd. He finally came back to his senses.

After finding his own carriage, he threw all his belongings on the carriage, and the first thing he said was: "Did there be any letters from the small courtyard when I was in the examination room?"

The coachman shook his head honestly: "It's very quiet, what it was like when the lord left, it's still what it is now."

Fang Yu took a breath, thinking that his family didn't miss him at all. It's been half a month since he came to Fucheng, but he didn't write a single reply.

"You wait here and wait for brother Sheng Jia to come out and go back together. I have to walk a lot today, and my bones are stiff in the number room. I have to evacuate."

"okay."

Fang Yu owed something in his heart, and was about to leave when he heard Sheng Jia's voice behind him: "Brother Fang!"

As a result, the two of them threw their things on the carriage and walked back together. When they came, they walked hurriedly and their minds were heavy. After the exam today, no matter what the result was, they felt relieved for the time being.

However, Sheng Jia saw that Fang Yu was not in a good mood after he came out of the examination room, so he just walked forward with his hands behind his back, without saying much.

"Brother Fang is still worrying about the exam?"

This year's exam questions were tricky. When Sheng Jia came out of the number room, he saw people beating their chests everywhere, and heard someone crying in the exam room. He successfully passed the exam and his wish was fulfilled. He was in a good mood, but seeing Fang Yu like this, There is also some unbearable in my heart.

"Oh, no, I was just thinking about my family."

Sheng Jia was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "A kind person is the most soft-hearted. Brother Fang is a family-friendly person."

Fang Yu couldn't laugh, he cared about his family, but his family didn't care about him, it was very sad.If I knew this was the case, I should have brought my little brother to Fucheng, pretending to be prudent and caring about the overall situation.

Sheng Jia saw that he really seemed homesick, sighed secretly, and said something else in time.

"I don't know if the last trial strategy answered the questions correctly. This year's questions are all beating around the bush, and they are not as straightforward as before. I am afraid that many people will step into a pit this time."

Fang Yudao: "The subtitle only has two words. It is really more difficult than in previous years to find a sentence with these two words in the history books, and then answer it based on the meaning of the language."

Sheng Jia laughed: "Seeing that Brother Fang is confident, he must have won the provincial examination."

"Brother Sheng has flattered me. This time the country test is like a bush of thorns. It is not easy for me to enter the test room safely and pass the test. As for the result, let it be. Even if it is not satisfactory, it will be a big improvement this time. Little known."

"Brother Fang is right, you and I have such a state of mind is more important than the test results."

The two had a discussion, but Fang Yu pulled his mind back a bit, and tacitly didn't mention the exam anymore, since it was a foregone conclusion, it would be useless to talk more.

"Let's go back and wash up first. At that time, you and I will go to the restaurant to eat some food and drink, and have a good time. We have been in Fucheng for so many days, and we haven't come out to play."

"The township examination is over today, and the streets must be lively."

After the two made an agreement, they hurried back, fearing that the delicious restaurants and tea shops were already full of customers.

"Huh? This...but people from the private house came to watch the house?"

Sheng Jia walked ahead and saw a carriage parked at the entrance of the alley with a handsome young man standing beside him, he raised his hand in surprise and was about to point to Fang Yu behind him: "Brother Fang, look... "

Before he finished speaking, he saw Fang Yu running over like a gust of wind, and hugged the little brother into his arms.

Sheng Jia was dumbfounded, his hands froze in the wind.
