The princess is beautiful and Ziye

Chapter 179 Two in One
In the past six months, Xie Yuncheng studied with the great Confucianists of the Imperial College, and with the old Hanlin that the Wei family hired with a lot of money, but he didn't make any progress at all.

Mr. Xu, the old Hanlin, took the policy theory written by Xie Yuncheng to find Wei Shi, first expressed to Wei Shi his guilt for failing to teach Xie Yuncheng, and then took the initiative to resign.

Wei Shi was rejected by Xie Yuncheng's lack of motivation, and when he heard the sad news again, he was taken aback for a moment.

Then he said quickly: "Don't, sir! It's going to Qiu Wei soon, so it's urgent!"

Mr. Xu was afraid that if he continued to teach, he would be pissed off by Xie Yuncheng sooner or later. He is a person who cherishes his feathers, and he is counting on leaving Beijing to retire in the future and rely on teaching for a living.

If Xie Yuncheng, who he taught, failed the ranking in Qiu Wei, wouldn't it be a huge stain on his life.

And it wasn't that he was careless in teaching, it was purely bad luck that he taught a dude who was neither learned nor talented.

It is not worth losing your reputation for such a person!
Mr. Xu said: "Master Gui's talent, people like this old man can't teach him. There is still one month left in the leaving country test, madam, please hire someone else!"

"Sir! Sir, don't! You were the one who took the money back then!"

Mr. Xu was ready a long time ago. He called the accompanying boy to bring the packed luggage, took out a few bank notes and put them on the table.

"Failed to teach Young Master Gui, this old man deserves the money, and he was ready to return it to Madam."

Seeing that Mr. Xu was really going to quit, Wei became an ant on the hot pot.

"At this time, I don't have time to find Mr. Xu again. Mr. Xu, please do me a favor. I will teach you for another month, and I will give you twice as much hard work!"

"Yuncheng is quite talented, but his temper is a bit stubborn. I'll teach him a lesson right away, and I'm sure he will learn from you in this month!"

Mr. Xu looked at Wei with some sympathy, sighed for a while and said, "Ma'am, you can't force me to study. And if you think that I can teach a Juren in just one month, then you think highly of me. I think back then when I took the provincial exam, I had to prepare for two full years. Even the young master of the Weifu, who is a genius, also prepared for nearly a year."

As far as Xie Yuncheng's qualifications are concerned, after ten years of hard study, he may be able to touch the tail of the provincial examination.

Wei's eyes were dark, and Mr. Xu stood up and said: "This person's life is not the only way to take the imperial examination. Your young master doesn't have this idea, and Madam really doesn't have to force it. Just find another way out for him." .This is all I have said, and I will leave.”

Mr. Xu cupped his hands and led the little boy away without looking back.

When Wei Shi and the others disappeared, he lost his temper and said indiscriminately: "My son is talented! He is very talented! Obviously he doesn't know how to teach, but on the other hand, he said that I am not good at Yuncheng!"

Nanny Dou dared to say no, she nodded while serving tea: "Madam still has to hurry up and find a reliable wife for the young master."

"It's about this time, where can I find it! I finally understand that when these old things took the provincial examination, it was decades ago. I'm afraid they have forgotten it long ago. Let them teach Yuncheng. It's a ghost! They are all a bunch of liars, wasting my money!"

Wei put away the banknotes angrily, and Aunt Dou said, "Then, wouldn't Madam find someone who passed the provincial examination to teach the young master?"

"It's easy to say, where can I find it?"

As soon as Wei's words fell, a person suddenly came to his mind, and he immediately jumped up, "That's right!"

In the second room courtyard, the second lady Rong frowned after hearing Wei's intention, and said, "Sister-in-law wants Jing Feng to teach Yun Cheng? I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

Wei's face was full of smiles, "Why isn't it suitable? I have 1 confidence in Jing Feng's knowledge, and Jing Feng has just passed the provincial examination, so he is more suitable to teach Yun Cheng."

"Jing Feng still has to prepare for the exam in March next year, and I'm afraid he won't be able to devote himself to teaching Yun Cheng." Rong said expressionlessly, making it clear that he was not happy.

Wei finally chose a suitable candidate, and he was not willing to let it go.

"Jing Feng failed the exam last time, and has been preparing for a long time now, and it's not too far behind this month, girl."

Wei said with a smile, "Second brother and sister also know that my elder brother knew many adults in the court. If Jing Feng passed the test, he would probably enter the Imperial Academy. But as far as I know, whether it is the second brother or the second brother , there is no familiar adult in the Hanlin Academy, which is not very good for Jingfeng's future development..."

Rong pursed her lips. She and her husband originally planned to beg Xie Boming after Xie Jingfeng passed the test.

Rong sized up Wei. Although Wei and Xie Boming were at odds, Xie Boming was still afraid of Wei's mother's family. If Wei intervened, Xie Boming would probably not help them with Xie Jingfeng's matter. It was threatening her.

In fact, the Rong family was not afraid of delaying Xie Jingfeng's meeting, but she knew that Wei's youngest son was just a piece of mud that could hardly support the wall.

She was afraid that after she accepted, Xie Yuncheng would not be able to pass the exam, and Wei Shi would come to trouble her son.

Rong rolled his eyes, thinking he wanted to tell this matter first.

"Jing Feng and Yun Cheng are brothers, and it's actually not impossible for the elder brother to help the younger brother. It's just..."

Wei Shi saw that there was something going on, and took advantage of the victory to pursue, "If the second sibling has any demands or concerns, just say it clearly."

Rong said: "Sister-in-law also knows that none of the provincial examinations is easy, even my family, Jingfeng, passed the provincial examination twice. I don't know if I can pass the second time, so Yun Cheng said I'm really embarrassed to ask Jing Feng to give me advice on the township exam, for fear of delaying Yuncheng..."

"Second brother and sister, don't worry! I have confidence in Jing Feng! He will definitely let Yun Cheng pass the provincial examination!"

"Sister-in-law trusts Jingfeng, I take this heart, but nothing is perfect..."

Wei said: "I understand what the second younger sibling means. Well, Jing Feng guides Yun Cheng, as long as he puts his heart into Yun Cheng's progress, I won't bother Jing Feng and the second younger sibling."

Rong Shi smiled.

next day
After Mrs. Xie passed away, Xie Zhou, who had been nestling in the yard without any movement, seemed to have no such person, and finally was able to move around at will.

Mrs. Xie Zhou is ten years younger than Mrs. Xie, and about the same age as Xie Boming. She is very charming and charming, and she doesn't look serious at first glance.

It was hot in July, and she wore cool clothes, and the bulge of her abdomen was even more obvious.

Xie Zhou's pregnancy was not groundless, and Xie Boming never thought that he would have another younger brother when he was old enough to be a grandfather.

And it was his brother who was forty years younger than him.

It is not honorable to say such things, so when Xie Mengshi was alive, the news of Xie Zhoushi's pregnancy was only spread in private.

Now that Mrs. Xie Meng is dead, Mrs. Xie Zhou will be able to take over the position soon, so she no longer hides the fact that she is pregnant. After Mrs. Xie was buried, she has been walking around the house with her pregnant belly.

Until the news of her pregnancy became public.

Now she can be regarded as the half master of the family. Not long after Mrs. Xie was buried, Mrs. Xie gave her the name of a noble concubine.

Mrs. Xie Zhou was born as a peasant woman, and any one of the two daughters-in-law in the family would be more noble than her, so it has become a virtual ritual to make peace in the morning and evening.

Xie Zhou had a good face, so he had to use the excuse of inviting people in the house to have tea, to enjoy the momentum of letting his daughter-in-law and grandchildren come to the front of the house.

It's a pity that few of these people in the family think highly of her, and they don't pay much attention to her, chatting by themselves below.

After a while, the servants came to pass it on, and several young masters came to greet Mrs. Xie Zhou.

Xie Jingfeng, Xie Qiaoyue, and Xie Yuncheng walked into the house to greet Mrs. Xie Zhou.

Except for Xie Yuncheng, Xie Jingfeng and Xie Qiaoyue treated Mrs. Xie Zhou with great respect.

Seeing the three of them, Xie E suddenly thought of something, said with a smile, "The country test is coming soon, why is the fourth young master still free to play outside, the sister-in-law is going around in a hurry because of the fourth young master, I heard that she even found out Jing Feng, do you want Jing Feng to teach the Fourth Young Master?"

Wei's eyelids twitched, Xie E's news was too well informed.

She glanced suspiciously at Rong Shi, but saw Rong Shi said calmly: "It's okay for brothers to help each other."

"Speaking of brothers, it seems that the fourth young master is closer to the third young master. Although they have different mothers, they share the same father. Why doesn't sister-in-law ask Yun Cheng to ask Qiao Yue for advice?"

Wei Shi gritted his teeth, squeezed out an ugly smile and said, "Didn't Qiao Yue also want to take the provincial exam? I was afraid of disturbing Qiao Yue."

Several other people in the hall were talking about it, Xie Zhen was very surprised and said: "Mother, why does this stall ask the eldest brother to teach the fourth brother! The eldest brother is going to prepare for the test!"

Xie Jingfeng said calmly: "I'm almost ready for the test, and there's only one month left, so it's okay to teach Yuncheng."

"But..." Seeing that Xie Jingfeng agreed, Xie Zhen looked careless again, and still didn't say what she wanted to say.

Xie E smirked and said, "Sister-in-law has a good plan. If Yun Cheng still fails after being taught by Jing Feng, wouldn't sister-in-law have an excuse..."

Wei Shi rolled the handkerchief into a ball, threw it at Xie E, and said with a sullen face:

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Sister-in-law has said long ago that Jing Feng will teach with all her heart, no matter if she succeeds or not, she will not make it difficult for Jing Feng. I naturally believe in sister-in-law."

Rong said lightly.

Wei Shi choked, his eyes flickered, and after a while, he hummed and said softly: "That's right."

"Jing Feng has to prepare for the test, and he may fall into a big part in a month. Why doesn't sister-in-law go to the young master of the Wei family?"

Xie E deliberately picked things up, "Young Master Wei is a three-yuan grade, and his skills are much better than Jing Feng's. Besides, Young Master Wei has already become an official, so there is nothing important except going to court and court affairs every day. Sister-in-law doesn't care. I went to find Young Master Wei because I didn't want to kiss him, or because I wanted to delay the young master on purpose."

There was little spark between the two, as if a fight was about to start, Xie Ying quickly smoothed things over, "Sister, don't say a few words, kindness makes money."

Xie E laughed, turned her head away and said: "I just think it's ironic. After all, the eldest sister-in-law is the eldest lady of the Wei family, but looking at it now, she doesn't have as big a face as Lan girl. Why is that?"

Wei Shi was fuming with anger, slapped the table hard, turned his head and left.

Xie Shuhui got up and chased after her, and Xie Yuncheng followed closely behind. Only Xie Tinglan didn't move, still sitting quietly drinking water.

Wei's anger left, Xie E also died down, and soon got up and left.

Xie Tinglan didn't want to follow the crowd and walk ahead, because it was too stuffy and hot, so she got up to leave when everyone was almost gone.

Yuxiu whispered to her: "Second madam is really unwise to agree to this matter. With madam's temperament, if fourth young master fails the exam, eldest madam will definitely embarrass eldest young master."

"That's why Second Madam deliberately wanted to talk about Wei's promise to her today." Xie Tinglan said casually.

"Isn't that the point of the word, and it's also thanks to the aunt who found the fault."

"Without Rong's news, you think Xie E really knows everything."

Xie Tinglan said a little, and Yuxiu understood. She blinked and said, "I never thought that the second lady would think of this when she looks at such a straight-faced person who puts everything on her face."

Xie Tinglan smiled, and was about to say something when he suddenly heard movement.

The master and servant stopped at the same time, looked forward, and saw Xie Zhen and Xie Jingfeng in front.

Xie Jingfeng looks elegant and bookish, but his temperament is just like his mother's. He doesn't smile much on weekdays and is always expressionless.

There was no tone of voice, "What's the matter with Fourth Sister?"

Xie Zhen said: "Why did the elder brother agree to help Xie Yuncheng? You clearly know Xie Yuncheng's intelligence, and it is impossible for you to be admitted to Juren. The eldest aunt is cheating you!"

Xie Zhen's face was full of anxiety, "Brother, now that we have just settled down and there is still room for redemption, let's go to uncle, talk to uncle, and this matter will be over!"

"I've already promised, a gentleman's words are hard to follow." Xie Jingfeng said, "Thank you fourth sister, but there's no need."

"Brother, why are you so brain-dead! Nothing is as important as your ability to try!"

"I have been preparing for the test for a long time. Even if I help the fourth brother, I will not delay the test."

Xie Jingfeng didn't seem to want to say any more, "Is there anything else for Fourth Sister? If it's just for this, then I'll go back first."

Xie Zhen opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, she could only watch Xie Jingfeng leave.

Turning her head, she happened to see Xie Tinglan standing in the corridor, Xie Zhen was taken aback, then walked over.

"Is elder sister eavesdropping?"

Xie Tinglan said lightly: "I just want to leave here, Fourth Sister thinks too much."

There was no one around, and Xie Zhen didn't hide it, and said with a pointed face: "This time, the elder sister can't be another good plan for the eldest aunt."

"Brother's general examination is coming soon, how can the fourth brother's rural examination be compared with that of the eldest brother, and with the intelligence of the fourth brother, everyone knows that it is impossible! The eldest aunt deliberately wants to drag the eldest brother into the water. Such a vicious trick, except for the elder sister who can Come to think of it, I can't think of another person!"

Yuxiu said straightforwardly: "Miss Four, please be careful with your words, why is it up to our young lady's plan. Didn't you force the eldest young master to agree, can a cow press its head forcibly if it doesn't drink water?!"
