Xu Xiu came to Chengenhou Mansion to see Mrs. Xu. Naturally, she did not come alone. She was also accompanied by her father, Uncle Xu. As for Mrs. Xu, because Mrs. Yao insisted that she was the one who caused Xu to vomit blood last time, she was arrested today.

Shut out.

Xu Zheng and his wife still didn't come.

When Xu Xiu exited the Songfeng Hall and went to the Kurong Hall in the front yard, Qin Zhonghai spoke to Uncle Xu with a face full of displeasure: "My mother has always cared about Brother Zheng. Even though she was ill, she still missed Brother Zheng. Zheng

Brother Zheng got married last year. Why hasn’t he brought his wife over to pay his respects to his mother after so long? Cousin, don’t say it’s because Brother Zheng is busy with his studies. He is not an Imperial College student, he just works in school all day long.

I'm just preparing for the exam at home. It's been two months since we got married, and I can't even spare half a day? How is this the etiquette that a junior should have?!"

Uncle Xu actually knew that his family was in the wrong, but his wife refused to distract his son, and she didn't want Mrs. Lu to come to see Mrs. Xu. She kept delaying it until this point, which was unjustifiable. But in front of the Qin family

, of course he wanted to save some face for the Xu family, so he bit the bullet and said: "In order to prepare for the exam, brother Zheng even spent a lot less time sleeping. He really couldn't spare the time. Furthermore, he failed to get good grades in the exam.

How can he have the nerve to come to see his aunt? Don't worry, cousin, when Brother Zheng finishes the exam, I will definitely ask him to bring his wife and kowtow to his aunt. He often talks about his aunt's concern for him at home on weekdays.

He knows his aunt's thoughts in his heart."

Qin Zhonghai sneered: "Since you know, come here and kowtow to apologize! The imperial examination relies on the accumulated effort in daily life. It's not like you can jump from a failed candidate to the top scholar by studying for an extra day and a half, and your hard work is not bad.

At this moment, unless... I just said filial piety but didn’t take my elders seriously in my heart, that’s why I would be so rude!"

Uncle Xu secretly complained about his wife's stubbornness and was on pins and needles, but before his daughter came out, she could only continue to apologize to Qin Zhonghai. When Xu Xiu retreated from Songfeng Hall, he immediately couldn't sit still and said a few words casually.

Just say goodbye and say goodbye.

Qin Zhonghai happened to be Xiu Mu at home today. When he saw Uncle Xu coming with his daughter, he just wanted to communicate with him, so as to signal Xu's parents to get closer to Mrs. Xu and make Mrs. Xu feel better. Now he saw Uncle Xu's

In response, he was extremely disappointed and felt that he was doing something unnecessary. When Uncle Xu wanted to leave, he didn't accept the guests and didn't even bother to see them off. He directly motioned to his stewards to do the work for him.

As soon as the Xu family's father and daughter left, he turned around and went to visit his mother, Mrs. Xu. I don't know how Mrs. Xu was feeling at this time. Seeing her relatives acting like this, she must not have gotten better. As a son, it is better to comfort her more.

A few words for the old man.

When Uncle Xu and Xu Xiu returned home, Grandma Xu immediately greeted them: "How is it? What did my aunt say to Sister Xiu?!"

Xu Xiu replied conservatively: "They are just some words that teach me to be cautious after getting married and to be filial to my parents-in-law. I have already accepted them."

Grandma Xu curled her lips: "Really, can't I teach you these words? Do you need to worry about it?" She asked again, "She didn't say anything else? She didn't say anything about the Gui family being a house filler.

Grievance, or..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted impatiently by Uncle Xu: "What did your aunt say to Sister Xiu? It's just those words. Isn't this what the elders teach girls before they get married?

What? My mother has passed away. You are young and careless. My aunt just gave me a few more instructions. Do you want to be verbose about this? Why don't you ask me? Just because you hold on.

Brother Zheng, he refused to let him take his wife and kowtow to my aunt, which made my cousin very angry with me! I could hardly sit still in the Kurong Hall!"

Grandma Xu said in a rather sarcastic tone: "The exam is just around the corner. Let my son study for one more day, and he will be more confident. What are you going to do in the Marquis Cheng'en's Mansion? Anyway, Mrs. Zheng loves Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng."

Even if he goes to kowtow to her later, she won't be really angry. Just wait until he finishes the imperial examination and then let him take his wife there." In fact, she had originally thought about letting him go after the imperial examination.

Xu Zheng went.

Uncle Xu waved his sleeves and returned to the room displeased. Grandma Xu grabbed her daughter and asked what she had just asked. Xu Zheng could only reply: "I didn't say anything bad about the Gui family. I just asked my daughter to marry her.

You just have to serve your parents-in-law more carefully. After all...the Gui family is powerful and is different from the Xu family. As your daughter becomes a daughter-in-law for the first time, she naturally has to swallow her anger." Thinking of the future that Xu described, she felt depressed.

However, no matter what, it is better to marry into the Gui family than stay in the Xu family and be an old girl.

Grandma Xu didn't know what her daughter was thinking, so she still disagreed: "Our Xu family is just in temporary decline. When your brother becomes successful in the future and your father recovers smoothly, you will be able to stand upright in the Gui family.

I have already inquired about it. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Gui family entered the family before Minister Gui was promoted. Her father’s official position was two levels lower than that of your grandfather before he resigned. In terms of family history and talent, you are no better than anyone else.

Poor. When you give birth to a son, you will be proud of yourself! Why do the Gui family have to renew their son's marriage? Isn't it just that they hope that he can have a baby soon? If you give birth to a son, you will be a great hero!"

Xu Xiu didn't want to hear her mother's old tune again. She knew in her heart that her life in the Gui family might not be as easy as her mother said. In the final analysis, she got into the marriage through deception. When she met the Gui family,

I felt weak at first.

She changed the topic: "Why don't you see my sister-in-law?" Normally, my mother always likes to ask my sister-in-law, Mrs. Lu, to set the rules in front of her. Today, she was sitting alone in the house waiting for the return of their father and daughter. It was really surprising.

Grandma Xu curled her lips and said: "There are people coming from the second room, how can I have the patience to go see them? I asked your sister-in-law to greet them. I really can't stand your second aunt's face! Isn't it just Brother Rong who came back to Beijing?

Are you ready to take the Tongsheng Examination? Your brother is about to take the National High School Examination to become a Jinshi, and Xu Rong has not yet passed the Scholarship Examination, what is there to show off?"

Xu Xiu was startled for a moment: "Brother Rong is back? He has been in Baoding for a few months, and I don't know what is going on now."

Speaking of this, Grandma Xu felt a little sad in her heart: "It seems that I have made some progress. I can do a lot more things than before, and I am also better at talking. But so what? Mud is mud, and you can't support the wall.

Is it possible that if he meets more people, he can really be reborn?!"

Regarding Xu Rong, Xu Zheng, who had met his cousin with his own eyes, had a different opinion than his mother. When eating dinner in the evening, he couldn't help but sigh to his father: "Brother Rong has been out to see the world for a few months, and as expected,

It's different from before. His speech and behavior have improved greatly, and his words are much more meaningful. He should also have made a lot of progress in his studies. He can answer several questions I asked him fluently. This year's children's examination

, he should be very hopeful.”

Uncle Xu is indispensable to his nephew: "If he can really come back with a good name, whether he is a scholar or a scholar, he can be your arm in the future, which is a good thing."

Is it true? But the second wife of the Xu family has already separated, and the two families are not having a happy time... Xu Zheng doesn't have much hope for this.

Grandma Xu's tone was still full of disdain: "Let's wait until he really gets the honors. It's too early to praise him now." She turned to her son and said, "Brother Zheng, aren't you going to do it again?"

Are you interested in going on a study tour? There is less than a month left before the exam, how can you have time?! Your homework has always been a hundred times better than Brother Rong, so you don’t have to do what he did. If you really want to go out and relax, wait until you take the exam

After the palace examination and the palace selection, it’s not too late to think about it again. How about your mother accompanying you back to your hometown to pay homage to your ancestors? My son is so impressive, so he should also ask for sacrifices to his ancestors and let the ancestors follow suit.

Happy, happy."

Xu Zheng blushed a little and said hurriedly: "Mom, stop talking. My son hasn't taken the exam yet. How can we say that he will definitely get into high school?"

Grandma Xu was very sure: "You have been smart since you were a child. If you can't pass the exam, others will not have to take the exam!"

Xu Zheng's face turned even redder. His wife, Mrs. Lu, stood aside to wait on her parents-in-law and her husband's sister-in-law for their meal. She was the daughter of a scholarly family, and her uncles and brothers also participated in the imperial examination. She knew how difficult the imperial examination was. Grandma Xu's words were listened to by Mrs. Lu.

, will she feel that her husband and mother-in-law are arrogant? Xu Zheng is on pins and needles.

At the same time, Xu Rong was also at home talking to his grandparents and parents about the meeting with his cousin Xu Zheng in the eldest room, saying: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for my eldest brother to study behind closed doors. No matter how smart he is, he can't

How much knowledge can he know when he is still young? If his great-uncle had been healthy and healthy, he might have been able to give him guidance on his homework. But now he doesn’t even have a serious teacher. Even if he could occasionally ask for advice from a talented and famous senior in the capital, he would not be able to learn anything.

After all, it is better to have a teacher who knows the basics and can always give guidance. I chatted with him a few words today and tried to ask a few questions. I found that my elder brother’s analysis of the same sentence in the scriptures was not as good as mine in Baoding.

My uncle, and the explanations in the notes I got from cousin Qin are very clear and profound. Unfortunately, neither the eldest brother nor the elders in the eldest family listened to my advice. Spring is coming soon, and eldest brother thought at this time

It may not be too late to work harder."

Mr. Xu Er said: "This is his own idea. His elders didn't say anything. What are you worried about?"

Second Master Xu asked his son: "With the guidance of your teacher and uncle, as well as the notes given by Brother Jian, you have made progress in your homework. I think you will be a stable child this year, right?"

Xu Rong smiled: "If my son can't even pass the county examination and the government examination, how can he have the dignity to say that he is going to take the examination? But for the college examination, Mr. Liu said that I am only in between. Fortunately, the college examination is in

Next year, if I work hard for another year, I will definitely be much more stable next year."

Xu Erye breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "That's good. You can concentrate on taking the county exam and the government exam first, and then go back to Baoding, continue to study with your uncle, learn how to do things from your father-in-law, and prepare for next year's college exam.

Get ready. I see that you have indeed grown a lot now, which is all the benefit of going out to practice. You don’t have to worry about how Xu Zheng is, you just need to take care of yourself. The date of the county examination this year remains unchanged, but the date of the general examination has been postponed.

.Your results will come out earlier. If you do well in the exam, your parents will not be too shameless when your aunt shows off her son in front of relatives and friends."

Xu Rong smiled and agreed: "Don't worry, father, my son will not let you down!"
