After asking a few more casual questions, he suddenly saw a middle-aged man reading stereotyped essays at the corner, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Why is there one more person?"
"Go back to the housekeeper. That's the teacher that Aunt Mei found for the Fourth Young Master. The Fourth Young Master said that he wants to take the imperial examination." Liu Er replied with a low eyebrow.
Hearing Liu'er's words, the butler smiled, "Is that so, let the fourth young master not disappoint my aunt's kindness."
But before leaving, the butler took a look at Bie Zhuang's appearance and was a little surprised.
He knew about this Biezhuang. The Biezhuang had been in disrepair for a long time, and there was no title deed from the Ye family, so it had already become an abandoned house.
Why does it look a little new today
Especially the dog that Liu Er feeds.
The housekeeper always felt a little familiar.
A few days ago, the poodles that were paid tribute from Persia, I heard that one only costs a few thousand taels of silver. The young lady has always wanted to raise one, but she couldn’t get one. The main reason is that the Ye family can’t buy a dog for a few thousand taels back.
Thinking of this, the butler withdrew his gaze. It should not be the poodle who paid tribute.
The Fourth Young Master and the others are having trouble eating now, how could they still have the money to buy such an expensive dog
Steward Ye didn't know, after he left.
Liu'er, who was terrified of him, raised her head, there was no trace of fear on her face.
"Lao Wang, come here," Liu'er picked up Lao Wang, "Go, my sister will take you to find my aunt."
On this side, Butler Ye has already returned to Ye Mansion.
"How?" Mrs. Ye waved her hand to make the servants around her retreat, and asked Steward Ye.
Butler Ye replied respectfully, "I didn't see the fourth young master, he went out to drink with friends. But Aunt Mei found a scholar for the fourth young master as a teacher to let the fourth young master take the imperial examination, but the fourth young master obviously didn't like it. You didn't study well."
"This Aunt Mei still doesn't give up," Mrs. Ye didn't get angry, but just wanted to laugh, "Just her son, can he still take the imperial examination? It's a daydream."
Mrs. Ye knew Ye Shaohua's virtue.
So when she heard that Aunt Mei had found a teacher for Ye Shaohua, she didn't take it seriously at all.
After listening to a few words, he asked the butler to back down.
Now her heart is on her son.
Another two years later.
The triennial provincial examination has finally begun.
"What? Are you really going to take the provincial examination?" Aunt Mei hugged Lao Wang, and she couldn't help being shocked when she saw Ye Shaohua and Liu'er preparing to take the provincial examination.
In the past three years, she watched Ye Shaohua leave the scholar in the Biezhuang and go out by herself, and basically never saw her read any books.
But Aunt Mei also knew that her daughter was really capable.
At first she was worried about Ye Shaohua.
Knowing that once, when Ye Shaohua jumped down from the roof at random and handed her two hundred taels of silver, Aunt Mei knew that Ye Shaohua had a secret that she didn't know.
Aunt Mei has been sleeping lightly these years.
Occasionally when I wake up at night, I can still see a few mysterious figures coming to look for Ye Shaohua.
She pretended not to see it.
But now that she heard that Ye Shaohua was going to the country test, she hesitated to speak.
Ye Shaohua asked Liu Er to put the backpack on her back, and when she heard Aunt Mei's words, she patted Aunt Mei on the shoulder. Although she was only fourteen years old, Aunt Mei was petite, and she was already much taller than Aunt Mei.
"Auntie, I'm leaving."
Aunt Mei looked at Ye Shaohua's white face like jade, even though she was wearing men's clothes, she couldn't hide her elegance.
She has already started to regret it, if it wasn't for her, her daughter would have reached the age of marriage discussion now.
"Well, mother is waiting for you." Aunt Mei patted her head and sent her to the front street.
The township examination is not far away, and it takes less than an hour by horse-drawn carriage, and there are only three days in total.
Liu'er was waiting in the carriage, and saw that the other candidates came out looking haggard and exhausted, so she couldn't help but prepare a woolen cloak, and put it on for her young master when she came out.
But when Ye Shaohua came out, Liu Er found that the other party didn't look as embarrassed as other candidates.
This made Liu'er a little strange, but she still put the wool cloak on Ye Shaohua's body.
"Don't go back to see your mother yet," Ye Shaohua poked his head out from inside, "Go to Changchun Building first."
Changchunlou Liu'er knew that it was the No. 1 restaurant in the capital, and heard that there were other chain stores.
Everyone like Liu'er knows the origin of this restaurant, which shows the reputation of this restaurant.
Seeing that Ye Shaohua was going there, Liu'er just thought she was greedy.
At the gate of Changchun Building, Ye Shaohua didn't go down, which made Liu'er a little strange.
"Fourth Young Master." The boss of Changchun Tower had been waiting by the side, and when Ye Shaohua arrived, he handed him a wooden box.
Ye Shaohua raised his chin towards Liu'er, letting Liu'er follow.
Liu Er took it over with doubts.
**
Half a month later, the results of the provincial examination were finally released.
Ye Shaoming is four years older than Ye Shaohua, already eighteen, if it wasn't for his careful examination, he would have married a long time ago.
Ye Qingweng speeded up his handling of political affairs in Dali Temple.
Thinking that today is the day when the rankings will be released, I want to go back quickly to see if Ye Shaoming has won the exam.
Unexpectedly, I just left the gate of Dali Temple.
But he saw Lord Li who didn't pay much attention to him in the past, walking towards him with a smile, "Master Ye is really lucky to have a son who is amazingly talented and beautiful."
Mr. Li's official position is higher than his own, and he is not in his own camp.
But he is the chief examiner this time...
Now he even took the initiative to tell himself, and even praised himself for having a good son.
Ye Qingweng immediately thought of Ye Shaoming, especially when the list was released today, did Shaoming enter the top three
