Chapter 180 Two in One
"Don't you just think that the elder brother has a good temper and won't refuse!"

Xie Zhen looked at Xie Tinglan with resentment, it seemed that she was really angry with this incident.

Xie Tinglan thought it was funny, and said casually: "You and big brother really have a good relationship, big brother didn't feel anything at all, but you came to help him get ahead first."

Xie Zhen's eyes froze, her throat rolled, and she said for a while, "I just don't want to see big brother's bright future and let you ruin it. Xie Tinglan, just wait for me!"

Xie Zhen put down her harsh words, turned around and ran away.

Yuxiu looked puzzled, and couldn't help but said: "Miss Fourth is a concubine, she speaks and acts like she was born from the belly of Second Madam."

Xie Tinglan walked slowly towards the Bixiao Courtyard, and said: "Second Uncle dotes on his concubine and kills his wife, it's not like you don't know it, thanks to Second Aunt's not fond of trouble, otherwise how could the Second House be so peaceful."

"The second master is also blind. Although the second wife's life is not as good as the first lady's, she is still a symbol of beauty. What's so good about Aunt Yao? Isn't she just an ordinary maid? Why did the second master hurt so much? Could it be that Aunt Yao will play a Gu and fail?"

Yuxiu couldn't figure it out.

Many people in Xie's mansion couldn't figure out this question. Aunt Yao of the second bedroom was extremely ordinary, except for the maidservant who used to be the second master's lamp, she was not top-notch among the servants.

The second master spoiled her to death, wanting the stars not to give the moon, and the second wife, who is as beautiful as a flower and jade, did not love her, but wanted to spoil Aunt Yao.

Xie Tinglan said with a sarcastic laugh: "Second Madam doesn't dote on her, but she still lives happily. I think Xie Pengcheng doesn't harm Second Aunt, but it's fine."

"Miss is right. The second lady has a son and her own family, so she doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and she doesn't worry about her old age. The second lady is also transparent. Presumably it is because of this that she is lazy to care about favors with Aunt Yao." Rong is not The heart is broad and virtuous, but he is a clear and understanding person.

"Second Madam treats Aunt Yao's two children well, but I don't see how much Xie Zhen respects Second Madam on weekdays. I didn't expect her to care about Eldest Young Master."

Yuxiu said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's not because the second young master can't be an official, so he went to please the eldest young master."

"It's not impossible." Xie Tinglan echoed casually.

On the other side, Xie Zhen left angrily and went straight to the yard of her biological mother, Aunt Yao.

Rushed into the door and said: "Mom! Something happened! Something big happened!"

Aunt Yao was sitting in the room embroidering, when she heard her babbling, she accidentally poked her hand and ran out in a panic.

"What happened, Zhen'er!"

Xie Zhen took a sip of water, and then told Aunt Yao what happened today.

Aunt Yao felt relieved, it wasn't a big deal, but she frowned and said very displeased: "What's wrong with Rong, how dare you just accept this kind of thing!"

"Exactly! This is most likely Xie Tinglan's idea to my aunt, and it looks like she deliberately tricked my brother! The second lady is out of her mind to agree to such a thing!"

Xie Zhen took Aunt Yao's arm and said, "Mother, think of a way to help elder brother! Eldest brother is always kind-hearted, and he doesn't even know he's been cheated."

"This matter can't be rushed." After all, Aunt Yao has more experience and is not as impulsive as Xie Zhen, "Isn't it strange that I go to my wife to talk about this matter now?"

Xie Zhen's eyes flickered, and she said softly: "Then mother, let's talk to daddy about this tonight. If daddy puts pressure on her, I'm not afraid that Rongshi won't listen."

Aunt Yao sighed, "It's difficult. This matter involves your eldest aunt and uncle, and your father is afraid that he would not dare to offend easily. Besides, if your eldest brother becomes an official in the future, he may have to rely on the Wei family. Now, is it right to offend the eldest lady? Smart move."

"Ah! Is it possible to watch big brother being cheated like this!"

Aunt Yao narrowed her eyes, and suddenly smiled, "Don't worry, Mom has an idea."

After a while, the servant girl led Xie Hao into the room, leaned over and said, "Second young master, my aunt is in the room, and the maidservant will leave first."

Xie Hao hummed expressionlessly, and stepped into the room.

Aunt Yao and Xie Zhen sat at the desk and drank tea on both sides. Seeing him enter the door, Aunt Yao put down the tea cup and said, "Come on, move a chair and sit down."

Xie Hao bowed his hands to meet the ceremony, dragged a chair and sat down under Xie Zhen, facing Aunt Yao.

Xie Zhen glanced at Xie Hao, and asked with a smile: "What is Second Brother busy these days? Why can't I see Second Brother?"

"Followed father to a few shops." After Xie Hao finished answering, he looked at Aunt Yao, "Auntie asked me, what's the matter?"

Aunt Yao smiled and said, "That's right..."

Aunt Yao first told the story of Xie Jingfeng and Xie Yuncheng, and then said: "Second Madam is confused, Auntie is afraid that the eldest and young master will be framed, but it is not easy to refute your eldest aunt's face, so Auntie thought of a way."

"Hao'er, don't you also want to take the imperial examination? Mother will send you to the young master on the grounds of letting you follow your elder brother and learn a little bit. You can help my aunt... and the second lady looked at Xie Yuncheng, he If you make trouble secretly, you can help your elder brother. You can also play some tricks secretly, so that Xie Yuncheng will not always pester your elder brother and affect your elder brother's review and exam. Do you understand what auntie means?"

Xie Hao was filled with emotions.

This was the first time that Aunt Yao didn't belittle him hysterically because he wanted to take the imperial examination.

But the only time, it was for the sake of big brother.

Xie Hao was silent for a while, then nodded slowly.

In any case, it is good that he can learn from his elder brother in an open and honest manner.

As for his aunt's request, he will try his best to fulfill it.

Xie Zhen seemed to have seen his thoughts, and suddenly said: "Second brother, you have to remember that your task is to ensure that the eldest brother can study hard and take the exam, and don't let Xie Yuncheng influence him. Don't take advantage of this while, Let the elder brother teach you. It's better to get rid of your little thoughts as soon as possible!"

Aunt Yao also warned: "Hao'er, there are some things that Auntie has said many times, and I don't want to say any more."

Xie Hao's eyes lingered back and forth on his mother and sister, and after a long while, a dry sound escaped from his throat.

"I remember."

In the night, in the flower building
Xie Yuncheng drank a lot of wine, blushed and threw the empty jug out.

Cursing in his mouth: "Bastard! How dare you despise me, I am useless again, father is also a minister, mother is a lady of the country! My sister will be the princess in the future! I am not happy to let that trash teach me! Then A group of dead girls are yin and yang, what a fart!"

He picked up the jug on the table and continued to pour wine into his mouth.

The tablemates were all well-known playboys in Beijing. Knowing Xie Yuncheng's situation, they comforted him and said:

"It's a big deal and I won't take the exam! What's the matter with your mother, you still have to be admitted to the exam, this fame, just buy one!"

Someone pulled Xie Yuncheng's sleeve, lowered his voice and said, "If you want to, I have a way, and I will introduce one to you."

Xie Yuncheng was a little dizzy from drinking. He squinted his eyes and listened for a long time before he realized it. He hiccupped and shook his head: "No... Those people know me. If my parents know, I will die..."

"Who asked you to buy a name!"

The man looked around, pressed Xie Yuncheng's ear and said, "I mean, let you find someone...to take the exam for you!"

Xie Yuncheng's wine suddenly sobered up more than half.

He slapped the man on the head, "My father will definitely have to take care of those ministers who invigilate the exam. Those people don't know you, it's useless to think about it with your ass."

He said impatiently: "Do you have any reliable ideas? It's a waste of time for me to drink with you today."

"Eh!"

Among the few people, someone suddenly said, "Don't tell me, I really have an idea."

Xie Yuncheng: "Tell me and listen."

The man lowered his voice and said the plan again, Xie Yuncheng thought for a while: "This is a bit reliable, but... where can I find someone?"

"Let me tell you, we can't find someone for this kind of thing, or it will be very troublesome to be caught."

"Hey! It's so easy to bribe someone to change their name! I don't believe that those people can still make trouble in the Yamen!"

"That is, no one can guarantee that they will pass the exam."

Xie Yuncheng said: "I can't do this by myself, if my uncle finds out that something will happen, who will help me?"

The person who came up with the idea patted Xie Yuncheng on the shoulder, "Don't worry, it's on me."

Within three days, that person contacted Xie Yuncheng and said that it was settled.

This person is also an expert, and this method is not the first time he has done it. Naturally, he was looking for an old acquaintance, so the matter was done very quickly.

Xie Yuncheng was relieved, he had already thought that when he passed the Juren examination, the faces of those people in the house would be changed.

Xie Yuncheng was overjoyed.

Already confident, he learned from Xie Jingfeng even less seriously.

Xie Jingfeng is a responsible person. Seeing him acting like this, he couldn't help persuading him: "Fourth brother, the provincial exam is coming soon. If you keep doing nothing like this, you really don't have to take the exam."

Xie Jingfeng is the eldest son of the family, and he behaves prudently. Although he took the imperial examination several times, he never passed it once, but because of his sincerity, Xie Boming used to compare Xie Jingfeng and Xie Yuncheng before. Xie Yuncheng always looked down on Xie Jingfeng.

In this way, it is even more impossible to study hard with him.

Xie Yuncheng opened his mouth and choked: "Brother, don't worry. I will definitely not make the same mistakes as my brother. I will definitely pass this provincial exam at once."

Xie Jingfeng said: "Confidence is a good thing, but you can't be blindly confident. There are not many capable people in Beijing, and we have them in our house. Fourth brother should be more modest."

Xie Yuncheng's face collapsed, "You mean Xie Qiaoyue?"

Xie Jingfeng pursed his mouth, who knew that he hit Xie Yuncheng's hot spot, and he opened his mouth and cursed: "That outsider is also Xie's family?! Shit, I will definitely win the election this time, and I must be higher than him ! Believe it or not!"

The more Xie Yuncheng looked at Xie Jingfeng, the more he disliked Xie Jingfeng, so he picked up the inkstone at hand and threw it at him.

Xie Hao happened to come over at this time, and quickly pulled Xie Jingfeng away with his sharp eyes and hands.

The inkstone hit the ground, and the ink was scattered everywhere.

Xie Yuncheng stood up carelessly, "It's time for school, I'm leaving. Big brother, don't talk about what happened today, otherwise if you want to be an official in the future, you have to weigh it up with my mother."

After Xie Yuncheng finished threatening, he walked away.

Xie Hao frowned, squatted down after a while to clean up the mess on the ground, but was held back by Xie Jingfeng.

Xie Jingfeng looked helpless, rubbed Yamagen and said: "Let the servants clean up later."

Xie Hao said: "Brother, if anyone has any questions, just say that I accidentally smashed the inkstone."

Xie Yuncheng does have the capital to be arrogant, and now that his sister is about to become the princess, the capital is even bigger.

Not to mention that Xie Jingfeng's future is indeed in the hands of the Wei family.

Only with the help of the Wei family can Xie Jingfeng walk steadily in the court.

Xie Jingfeng said: "I accidentally dropped the inkstone myself, and it has nothing to do with you."

Xie Jingfeng looked at Xie Hao and said, "Third brother, the country test is coming soon, don't think too much about it now, just prepare well."

Except for him and Xie Jingfeng, no one else knew about the fact that Xie Hao was going to take the provincial examination.

Aunt Yao and Xie Zhen only knew that he was studying secretly in private, but they didn't know that Xie Jingfeng had already pulled him to study secretly after Xie Jingfeng knew Xie Hao's desire to study hard.

Xie Hao's talent is even better than Xie Jingfeng's, and he passed the college examination once. This time, he will not fail the provincial examination without any accidents.

The two brothers have been secretly helping each other.

It's just that the previous college entrance examination did not attract attention, and this time the rural examination is not necessarily the case.

After the exam, if there is one juren, someone will come to congratulate him. At that time, Xie Hao can no longer hide the truth from Aunt Yao and Xie Zhen.

Xie Jingfeng and Xie Hao can only hope that Xie Hao will do better in the exam, if he can win Jieyuan, or Yayuan, Aunt Yao will not be so angry.

Xie Hao was silent for a while, and said: "Brother, I just like reading. If I pass the exam by chance, I will study in the Hanlin Academy for a lifetime, and I will spend my whole life."

Xie Jingfeng sighed: "My brother and I, although we are not the same mother, we are better than having the same mother. It's not like you can retreat and I can enter the court, just do what you like."

"Thank you bro."

Xie Jingfeng nodded slowly with an inexplicable expression.

East Palace
Xie Tinglan entered the palace to greet the imperial concubine, but on the way, he was taken to the East Palace by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who forcibly broke in.

The marriage was delayed, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in a bad mood for several days. He kept investigating the cause of Mrs. Xie's death, and he didn't stop until nothing was found out.

He arranged for someone to continue watching this matter, so he came to find Xie Tinglan himself.

Fu Pingye led Xie Tinglan for a walk in the East Palace. The red silk hanging in the East Palace hadn't been taken down yet. Xie Tinglan laughed while watching, and said to Fu Pingye:

"Your Highness still hasn't picked these red silks, no wonder it hurts the scene."

Fu Pingye looked at Xie Tinglan with some resentment in his eyes, and said, "I was afraid that some people would forget about it, so I didn't pick these things, so as to remind her."

Xie Tinglan smiled and said softly: "Your Highness, don't worry, I keep it in my daily diary. In fact, it's nothing to postpone the marriage. Nowadays, everyone in the world knows that I am His Highness's wife, and no one will dare to marry me if I don't marry His Highness." gone."

Fu Pingye's face turned red.
