happy match

After Ye Qinglan's birthday, life really got better.

Ye Qingning is the eldest daughter of the eldest family, and Cui Wan is the eldest daughter-in-law, the attitude of the two also represents the attitude of the Zheng family.No matter how displeased Ye Qinglan was, Mrs. Xue did not treat her as unscrupulously as before.

Ye Qingfu was extremely greedy for Ye Qinglan's gifts, and from time to time she showed her envy in front of Ye Qinglan.Such as "It's too wasteful to grind a box full of pearls into pearl powder, it's better to make them into hairpins", "Why don't you see that set of ruby ​​head jewelry and lend it to me for two days if you don't like it?" How many times has Ye Qinglan babbled in her ears.

Ye Qinglan naturally wouldn't pick up on this, and would quickly change the subject every time Ye Qingfu was talking to herself.After a few times, Ye Qingfu resentfully stopped mentioning it.

After the Spring Festival, the list will be released in half a month.

Because of Zheng Junyan's participation in Chunwei, Ye Qingning naturally paid close attention to Chunwei's announcement.The day before the announcement of the list, I specially begged my elder brother Ye Yuanwei to watch the list.

Ye Yuanwei knew that Ye Qingning was thin-skinned, so he didn't make fun of her, he just responded with a smile.Early the next morning, at dawn, I went to the Gong Yuan to read the list.

Ye Qingning was restless and lost even the interest of chatting.Ye Qinglan joked with a smile: "Sixth sister, don't worry, Cousin Zheng must be on the list. After passing the palace examination, you will be a Jinshi. You just wait for the new Jinshi to marry you."

Ye Qingning blushed and spat at her.With a few words of laughter, the heart that has been restless has calmed down a lot.

Cui Wan was also worried about Cui Yu, and sent someone to Cui's mansion early in the morning to wait for news.I just waited and waited for no response.I can't help but secretly anxious.

According to Cui Yu's wonderful performance in Qiu Wei, Chun Wei is fully capable of winning the championship this time.But just before the exam, he had a serious illness, although he insisted on going to the exam room.After the exam, he was exhausted and lay on the bed for half a month.It wasn't until two days ago that I started to get out of bed and move around.Today, when Chunwei released the list, He Shi didn't want Cui Yu to squeeze in to watch the list, but Cui Yu was very persistent and went there early in the morning.

While everyone was anxiously waiting, Ye Yuanwei finally came back around noon.

Ye Qingning and Cui Wan went up to meet him at the same time, and asked in unison: "Brother (Sister-in-law). Did cousin (second brother) pass the exam?"

Ye Yuanwei deliberately played tricks: "I squeezed for a long time to take a look, and was quickly squeezed out again. I hurried all the way back, and now I am tired and thirsty, and no one poured me a glass of water."

As soon as the words fell, a cup of hot tea was delivered to him: "Cousin, please drink tea." Behind the teacup.It was Ye Qinglan's sweet smile.

Ye Yuanwei took the teacup and joked with a smile: "Is Shitang sister so concerned about the results of Chunwei's ranking?" Immediately, he thought of something, and blinked ambiguously: "Are you worried that Cui Yu will fail the exam?"

Ye Qinglan: "..."

Cui Wan coughed, and hurriedly took over the conversation: "Master, don't fool us. Did my second brother and Cousin Zheng pass the exam?"

Ye Yuanwei didn't hold back anymore, and responded with a smile: "Both of them passed the exam."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.There is a smile on the face.

Ye Qinglan finally let go of a big stone in her heart.These days, whenever I think of Cui Yu.She has a slight sense of guilt.If Cui Yu didn't pass the exam this time, she must have a bad conscience...

Wait, what happened to Ye Yuanwei's hesitant expression?Ye Qinglan's heart sank, and she opened her mouth to ask: "Cousin, how many people were selected by Chunwei this time? How did Cousin Zheng and Brother Cui Shixiong get in the exam?"

This question really hits the key point.

Ye Yuanwei hesitated for a moment, thinking that this matter could not be concealed, so he also told the truth: "Chun Wei took 110 and 18 places in total. Jun Yan passed No.[-] in the exam, Cui Yu..."

Cui Wan's heart skipped a beat.He hurriedly asked: "How many exams did the second brother pass?"

Ye Yuanwei sighed: "I got four places in the exam." This ranking is not very good.There is no hope for the first class. If you get the second class Jinshi, it's okay. If you lose the third class, you will be really upset.

The smile on Cui Wan's face faded, and she frowned slightly.The joy of knowing that Cui Yu passed the exam was greatly reduced.Because of Cui Yu's wonderful performance in Qiuwei last year, the family's expectations for Cui Yu are naturally much higher.Although I have passed the exam now, this ranking is really far from my expectations...

"It's always a good thing to pass the exam." Ye Yuanwei smiled and comforted Cui Wan: "There are so many candidates participating in Chunwei, almost one out of twenty, as long as they can make it to the list, they are already outstanding. He is only 15 years old this year. , just passed the Chunwei exam, which is already pretty enough."

Mrs. Zheng also smiled and said, "Yuan Wei said so. For such a happy event, you have to go back and have a look. Remember to prepare a generous gift."

Cui Wan came back to her senses, and hurriedly responded with a smile.

At this moment, the woman in charge who was sent to Cui's mansion to wait for an answer also came back, and said with a smile: "Young Mistress is overjoyed, Second Young Master Cui has won the list, Madam is very happy, and ordered this old slave to come back to announce the good news to Young Mistress."

Cui Wan nodded with a smile, sighed softly in her heart, and let go of this regret that shouldn't be there.Just like Ye Yuanwei said, I don't know how many students stopped at the gate of Chunwei.Cui Yu was able to pass the exam at a young age, which is already a happy event for the Guangyao family.

Gossip needless to say, in the afternoon, Mrs. Zheng prepared congratulatory gifts and returned to Zheng Guogong's mansion.Cui Wan returned to Cui Mansion accompanied by Ye Yuanwei.

This time, Cui Wan did not invite Ye Qinglan to accompany her.

Ye Qingning knew the reason, but deliberately teased Ye Qinglan: "Sister Ten, don't you plan to never see Cui Yu again?"

Ye Qinglan smiled: "Since we are in-laws, we will always meet each other in the future. However, I will not go to Cui's house again." Since I have made up my mind to keep my distance, it is better not to go to Cui's house.Cui Wan was clever and careful, and probably guessed her intentions, so she didn't invite her to go with her, which saved her a lot of embarrassment.

Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Ye Qingning casually changed the subject.

The two sisters don't need to gossip, but they say that on the side of Cui's mansion, everyone's face is full of joy, and long strings of firecrackers are set off.

He's face was radiant, and Cui Yu was also very happy.But amidst this joy, there was also a hint of disappointment.It was indeed something to be happy about passing the exam, but it was much worse than he expected.He originally wanted to be among the top three in the exam, and to compete for the top spot in the imperial examination...

He glanced at him, as if seeing his thoughts, and comforted him with a smile: "Yu'er, you took part in Chunwei with your illness, and it is already a great fortune to pass the exam. You don't have to worry about your ranking anymore." Although she also hoped that Cui Yu's test would be better, but the current result is already unexpected.

Cui Yu hummed shyly, and was about to open his mouth to say something, when someone came to report: "Missy and uncle are back."

He Shi was very happy, and immediately smiled and said: "Hurry up and welcome them in."

Cui Yu's heart was also beating wildly.Eldest sister and brother-in-law are here, she should come to see him too...

It is a pity that Cui Yu's expectations are destined to fail.After Cui Wan and Ye Yuanwei came in, there was no figure behind him that he had been thinking about day and night.

Cui Yu was never good at hiding his thoughts, and that disappointment was clearly revealed.

Cui Wan and He Shi clearly noticed it, but they didn't mention a word in a tacit understanding, and the topic only revolved around Chun Wei's announcement.

"After the list is released, will you be going to take the palace examination soon?" Cui Wan asked with a smile.

Cui Yu collected himself and replied with a smile: "Well, there will be a palace examination within ten days after the announcement of the list." The palace examination is the last hurdle of the scientific examination.The students who are on the list of Chunwei have the chance to meet Tianyan.At this time, those who are fluent in eloquence and perform well will naturally have no worries about a bright future.

He smiled and said: "When the time comes, don't be stupid, you must behave well."

Cui Yu nodded seriously: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely come back with a second-class Jinshi background."At least you have to fight for a Jinshi background.In the future, coming to the Changyuan uncle's mansion to propose marriage will also make Ye Qinglan more beautiful...

Cui Yu was thinking wildly, his eyes were unconsciously shining brightly.

Cui Wan looked at it but felt heavy in her heart.Poor second brother, he still doesn't know what mother's real plan is!After the palace examination, when everything is settled, his mother will start to take care of the marriage for him.Judging from the current situation, the possibility of him and Ye Qinglan is extremely slim!

Sure enough, after Mrs. He deliberately dismissed Cui Yu and Ye Yuanwei, he smiled and said to Cui Wan, "Wanniang, Yu'er is going to be really happy this time."

Cui Wan was startled: "What's wrong?"

He's brows were filled with joy that couldn't be concealed: "A few days ago, Prime Minister Luo's wife, Mrs. Wang, celebrated her birthday, and I also went there. There is also a second lady in Luo's mansion who has not left the cabinet. She is a serious daughter with outstanding looks. , there is no choice in character..."

Second Miss Luo?Luo Miaoke?

Cui Wan was really shocked this time, and couldn't help interrupting He Shi: "Mother, Second Miss Luo seems to be one year older than her second brother! Why haven't you agreed on marriage yet?"

Mrs. He smiled proudly: "I heard that I mentioned a relative before, and the other party is the young master of Li Shangshu's house. It's a pity that this young master Li is a short-lived ghost. At the end of the year, he fell seriously ill and died just like that. Originally The marriage that was scheduled for this year had no choice but to let it go. The Second Miss Luo just happened to encounter such a thing, and it was not easy to find a suitable marriage. Mrs. Wang heard that Yu'er was not engaged yet, so she revealed what she said The meaning of getting married."

The more He talked, the more excited he became: "The eldest lady in Prime Minister Luo's house is now the concubine of the third prince. If Yu'er can marry the second miss Luo, she will become the in-law of the third prince. The future of this pair of Yu'er is very big. It's good!"

In normal times, with Cui Yushu's status, no matter what, she would not be able to get into Madam Wang's eyes.But now, it is Cui Yu's luck that Mrs. Wang is willing to take the initiative to reveal the meaning of getting married.
