Xu Shi saw the embarrassment of his adoptive mother, and Mu Mu ran forward and hugged her legs hard, shaking and begging, "Mother, I beg you, stay Dalang!"
The little monkey may have received special training. First, he sniffed the smell of Guan Suyi's body and made sure that he was not looking for the wrong person. Then he climbed to a peach blossom tree, picked a peach blossom, and handed it over with a grin. Very attentive.
Jin Zi and Ming Lan were greatly surprised, and tsk tsk praised, "This monkey is really divine! Miss, you can just keep it, and you can play with the young master. He is the only child in the house, and it is indeed a bit lonely."
Guan Suyi was still hesitating, just because he saw this monkey, he could think of Hunnar, if he left it, it would seem that there are shadows of the other party everywhere in the house. However, she was even more reluctant to disappoint Mu Mu. After all, this was the first time he asked her for something to love.
Seeing that the mother-in-law's expression was slightly loose, Mu Mu quickly wrapped her short legs around her, pleading with a milky voice. The little monkey was even smarter, picked a lot of peach blossoms and sprinkled them on her head, causing colorful fall everywhere. Guan Suyi was confused by these two, so she had to agree.
Not to mention the laughter and joy of the Emperor's Mansion, but Zhao Mansion was gloomy and depressed. The door between the East and West Mansions was completely locked. If you wanted to communicate with each other, you had to go outside the courtyard and knock on the door. Zhao Luli always goes out for business, and rarely returns home. When he finally comes back once, he must stay in the teahouse opposite the Emperor Shifu's mansion for a whole day. If he meets Guan Suyi who occasionally travels, and look at her from a distance, he will be able to reconnect. Cheer up.
The old lady was overwhelmed by toxins, and fell ill every three days, and now she can only support her in bed. Zhao Chunxi takes care of both the outside and the inside, and also takes care of his grandmother and Zhao Huaien. He has grown up rapidly, and his face has been covered with a layer of twilight before he can reach his hair.
Knowing that Lu Fengming hurriedly cleaned up and left Yanjing non-stop, she thought that something must have happened, and immediately sent someone to inquire. Just after receiving the exact news, Zhao Wangshu actually returned to the house and plunged into Penglai Garden to find Ye Zhen speaks. She sneered and looked for it, standing in the corridor waiting.
There was a buzzing sound inside, it should be Zhao Wangshu reporting the scandal of Lu Fengming, and then he heard Ye Zhen's hoarse voice, "I'm not doing it for your own good? No matter how talented Qi Yu is, does anyone in Wei know his name? If you think that Guan Suyi is for your own good, why doesn't she just take you back to Guan's house and worship her grandfather or father as her teacher? As long as the two of them pull you at will, you won't be what you are now!"
Come in and close the door? Think beautiful! No one in the state of Wei knew that Guan Laozi and Guan Fu never accepted mediocre talents. If he can't pass the exam for the two of them, he will even be kicked out. First send to Guan's first apprentice to lay the foundation, and then enter the emperor's teacher or Tai Chang's seat. This is a steady and steady approach. Do you think that everyone is like you Ye Zhen, who is dedicated to climbing high branches and taking shortcuts? Zhao Chunxi mused sarcastically.
Perhaps Zhao Wangshu also said the same, causing Ye Zhen to drop a lot of things, and repeatedly scolding him for eating inside and out. In the vagueness, Zhao Wangshu's bitter voice came intermittently, to the effect that at this literary conference, the students had different performances, the good and the bad were mixed. It is divided into regions and hierarchical and progressive, from easy to difficult, step by step, first pass the first test, then pass the second test, and try again, and finally select the best group of students, who will be selected by the emperor himself. This is the same way that Guan selects his students, only on a larger scale.
In other words, except this time Enke has the opportunity to win the first prize, he will have to take it slow in the future. If you miss this time, the students will have to wait another three years. If they fail the first try, they will continue for another three years, and so on and so forth.
Ye Zhen was completely mad, and screamed, "Three years? You have to wait another three years? You useless waste, what did you do earlier, you can't even write a single article! You immediately moved the four books and five classics. Come to my room, I will stare at you and read, go, go!"
Zhao Wangshu's sobbing voice came, as if very aggrieved. Zhao Chunxi obviously didn't want to care about him, but he kicked the door involuntarily with his toes, and snarled, "Waste? What qualifications do you have to call him a waste? You blame him for not working hard, so why did you go in the early years? Why didn't you come back and be good? Discipline him? Who forced him to betray his master? Who forced him to worship a drunkard as a teacher? Who made him faceless in Yanjing now? It's you! It's all you! What happened in three years? In Guan Suyi's arrangement, there is nothing about Zhao Wangshu in this imperial examination. He is not even qualified to test the water. After three years, the foundation is solid, and he can participate in the first test and move forward step by step. You Now I have to force him to study all night, is it for him to become a talent, or for you to raise your eyebrows? Do you treat him as a son, or as a bull and horse?"
She walked into the house and smashed whatever she saw, her hair was messed up and her eyes were red, and she finally panted and said word by word, "The Ye family died because of you; the second aunt was implicated to death by you; the grandmother was killed by you. The number has been greatly reduced; the mother was forced by you to ask for divorce; the father was forced by you to have a home and could not return. Are you satisfied? Are you going to drive the only son who cares about you crazy? Why don't you die in the palace? You motherfucker should die in the palace!"
Zhao Wangshu, who was kneeling in the pile of chaotic porcelain, was already frightened and dumbfounded. It's not that he can't feel his mother's paranoia and madness, or that he can't feel powerless and unable to move. He just couldn't let go of the ties of blood.
He called out "sister" full of hope, hoping that she could stay in the East Mansion and give him some support and encouragement, but after she vented her grievances, she left without looking back, leaving only an indifferent word, "If you are still obsessed, you will die in Ye Zhen's hands sooner or later."
This seems to be a curse, but it doesn't seem to be, making Zhao Wangshu's bone marrow cold.

At the same time, the main entrance of Xu Mansion was full of guests. After the text conference, Xu Guangzhi invited all the disciples to come to the house to communicate. The huge courtyard was full of people inside and out, and there were even good people lying on the wall to watch the fun. He sat in the middle and talked eloquently, and his every move was in the style of celebrities, which was fascinating.
Xu Yayan stayed in the house with his mother Lin, looking out through a bamboo curtain.
"This is the article you wrote at the conference. Your father quietly put it away and asked me to burn it quickly. As a woman, how can you show your face and compete with others? It can't be like this in the future." He took out a manuscript from the bag and reprimanded.
"But other women have also written articles, why can't I be the only one? Am I inferior to them?" Xu Yayan's face was full of grievances.
"On the contrary, it is precisely because you are higher than them that your father does not allow you to be with them. Women should be chaste and virtuous and keep their duties, and they should not show their faces easily, otherwise they will look low. Look at that. Shi's daughter, she will make trouble for a while, and make trouble for a while. It is her rumor that the capital of Manyan is hers. The result? Isn't it divorced? In the future, I can't even find a serious husband, and I will live in an empty room all my life. Uneasy about the fate of the house! If she is honest and abiding by women's morals, she should take Mrs. Ye and take the initiative to ask her to be an equal wife. Mrs. Ye is the original wife of the first wife, so is she wronged by being taller than her? Look at now, Madam Ye is sick, Madam Zhao is sick too, Zhao Luli never returns home, leaving her two children alone, this is all the fault of Guan's daughter!"
Xu Yayan was a little conflicted in her heart, and asked back, "Mother, if you encounter this situation, will you take the initiative to back down and ask Mrs. Ye to be his equal wife?"
"Naturally. Women should be from the beginning to the end, and their husbands are heaven. A husband's first wife should be respected, whether she is dead or alive. Of course, the daughter of our Xu family can never be a concubine. You have also come to the discussion. The age of marriage, this is the manuscript left by your grandmother, it is full of her ways of being a daughter, a wife, and a mother, you can take a look at it." Lin opened the wooden box on the table and took out a stack of pans. Yellow paper.
Xu Yayan took it cautiously, flipped through the two pages, and there was a light in his eyes. Female ring? female virtue? Great word! There was an urge in her heart to sum up the words in it and write it into a book. Didn't Guan Suyi say that Derby is heavy? Men have the virtue of a gentleman, and women should also have the virtue of a lady. If you look at her words and deeds, how can it be worthy of the four characters "Mingde Weixin"
She read a paragraph carefully, like a treasure.
Seeing this, Lin was very relieved, opened the money box, locked the belongings sent by the students, and said in a low voice, "Your father has really turned around this time. Not to mention silk, antiques, jade and other items, you will not need to copy books at night and sell them. I heard that Taishi Ling and Lang Zhongling want to recommend him to preside over this imperial examination, even if he cannot be the chief examiner , you can also get a deputy post, and later on, you will be a clear-cut scholar of the eight classics."
"The examiner? I'm afraid it won't work, right? The emperor and Tai Chang are on the top, so it's not Daddy's turn." Having said that, Xu Yayan was extremely unwilling.
"What do you know? The main exam is first, and after being rejected by the sage, then the deputy will be promoted. The chance of being appointed will be greater." Lin shi smiled disapprovingly. In her opinion, it is very good for a husband to have a half-official position, and he must not be too greedy.
"That's true. If Daddy can participate in presiding over this imperial examination, he can win over many students. When they enter the office next year, it will be Daddy's help. When climbing in the court, the network is the most important thing. Our family has no background. It's a shame. Daddy can think of this way." Xu Yayan admired his father very much, and there was a bit of pride in his tone.
"That's not it. Yun Weng only accepts children from aristocratic families, and Guan's father and son only accept talents, but how can there be so many children from aristocratic families and talents in the world? Where should the rest of these students go for advice? , will be widely praised and famous all over the world in the future.”
Xu Yayan pointed to the lively scene outside, and said with certainty, "Mother, you are wrong, Daddy is already a wall of peach and plum, and his name is famous all over the world."
