Xu Lingyi whispered: i, tell me, Brother Yu’s marriage is difficult, what’s so difficult about it?

Mainly because Xu Siyu was born into a noble family but was the eldest son of a maidservant. 365.net

But in front of Xu Lingyi, Eleven Niang couldn't say this.

Xu Lingyi had no intention of asking her to answer. He said in a deep voice: The difficulty is where is his way out?

Eleven Niang couldn't help but nod.

Xu Lingyi's words hit the point.

Xu Lingyi's son can be a favor, but there is a quota for this favor. Xu Lingyi also has a young stepmother of his own. According to normal theory, she will add more children to the Xu family in the future. The quota will be Xu Siyu's turn.

The above ratio will only become slimmer with the birth of younger siblings.

As the saying goes, when you marry someone, you have to wear clothes and food. If you are from a poor family, you can live happily for many years with ten taels of silver. However, Xu Siyu comes from a high family. If nothing else, just the favors and guests, he will need hundreds of taels of silver a year.

.Who is willing to marry his daughter to a person who can't even afford food and clothing?

Although it is not a big deal if Brother Yu wins the scholarship. Xu Lingyi saw that Eleven Niang agreed and continued, "At least you don't have to kneel down in court, and you are exempted from the land tax. Even if you don't have the favor, with the power of our family, you can do whatever you want."

Is it still difficult to be a small official? Besides, he is the eldest son of a concubine. After getting married, he can live alone in the family. As he said this, he laughed, so I said, then you can just wait to choose a wife.

The Marquis is really the eleventh mother, said in annoyance, which shocked me greatly. I thought that the Marquis had already taken a fancy to a girl from some family, and was just waiting for Brother Yu to become a scholar so that he could propose marriage. After talking for a long time,

Or the moon in the mirror, flowers in the water?

No rush, no rush. Xu Lingyi comforted her with a smile. She was older, had settled down, and knew how to live her life. It was too early to get married. Both of them were children. Sometimes they could just endure it and take a step back.

Things started to get louder as they talked about it, and in the end they had a knot in their hearts. Instead, their love for each other turned sour, and they became a bitter couple.

Is it his own feelings?

Eleven Niang wanted to ask a question and saw a touch of sadness between his eyebrows, but felt quite sad in her heart, so she swallowed this sentence.

She raised a more cheerful topic: Mr. Marquis may not know it yet. Aunt Wen and I cleared away a lot of clothes that Brother Jin wore when he was a child and sent them to Cangzhou. The people who came back said that Sister Zhen is very happy now.

Well, my mother-in-law was afraid that she would be scared, so she specially invited a nephew-in-law from her mother's family who was well-spoken and had given birth to four sons as a guest. She would talk with Sister Zhen and take care of Sister Zhen's food, clothing, housing and transportation. In a few days, it will be August 15th.

I want to write a letter of thanks to the person who sent the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts to Cangzhou. What do you think?

There is no need to write a thank you letter for this. Xu Lingyi hesitated and said, "She is the mother-in-law. We can't say anything how she wants to treat Sister Zhen."

Oh, she was just helping Sister Zhen to coax her mother-in-law. Eleven Niang didn’t think so. Who doesn’t want to listen to good things? We are like this. She has face. If Sister Zhen can’t do anything, she will be tolerant. Then she smiled and said, I

Counting the days, Sister Zhen will give birth to her son in two months. I don’t know whether it will be a daughter or a son. The mother-in-law I sent to deliver things to Sister Zhen came back and said that by the look of Sister Zhen’s son, she should be a daughter. But I always

I thought she was cheating me out of the reward. When I was pregnant with brother Jin, everyone said she looked like a daughter.

Xu Lingyi listened to her nagging, so he pressed her face and asked her in a low voice: What about you?

What Eleven Niang didn’t understand for a moment.

Xu Lingyi laughed in a low voice: You gave away all our brother Jin’s clothes. What will our son wear then?

Brother Jin is old now, and those clothes are no longer needed. Eleven Niang said, suddenly understanding what Xu Lingyi was referring to. She couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, her tone paused, and then she said honestly, don't you mean Brother Jin?

My son is a blessed princess. She was able to successfully give birth to the emperor’s eldest grandson because of his blessing. I also want to forgive Sister Binzhen’s heart.

Xu Lingyi was a little dumbfounded when the emperor's eldest grandson got the blessing of brother Jin. Who said this?

You really don’t know. Eleven Niang covered her mouth and smiled. Two days ago, I went to see Mrs. Gan. I met the fourth wife of Zhongshan Hou Tang’s family in Zhongqin’s Mansion. When I met our brother Jin, my eyes were shining.

.We must go to her house as guests. She said that her daughter-in-law has given birth to her fourth child, all girls, and she wants our brother Jin to sit on her daughter-in-law’s bed. If I hadn’t said that Princess Fucheng sent someone to let me go

After a trip to the Princess's Mansion, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to escape. That's it, she still didn't believe it, so we broke up with me all the way to the door of the Princess's Mansion. Otherwise, I wouldn't have rashly walked into Sister Zhou's house.

Xu Lingyi laughed and teased Eleven Niang: I think he should sit on his mother's bed first.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but hit him on the shoulder: Promoting Narrow Ghost

What I said is serious. Xu Lingyi laughed and teased her. Please tell me honestly. How many pieces of brother Jin's clothes did you give to others?

Eleven Niang couldn’t help but laugh: How could you give a few items to Sister Zhen, two items to Mrs. Tang Si, and two items to Princess Yong’an before?

The two chatted and laughed, making Xu Lingyi temporarily forget the emotion of Wang Jiubao's conviction.

As August enters, it begins to drizzle in Yanjing.

Eleven Niang looked at Xu Siyu's brand-new sapphire-blue background and black cocoon silk robe, and said with a smile: Fortunately, your father reminded me to take out your examination basket and curtain to dry in June. Otherwise, it would be terrible.

It was too bad and he said again, Mr. Hou said, this examination basket and curtain accompanied you to pass the county examination and prefectural examination, and will definitely accompany you to take the provincial examination in the future.

Before going to the examination room, she wanted to give Xu Siyu more encouragement.

Xu Siyu smiled and said nothing, but his eyes lit up.

Xu Lingyi wasn't used to Eleven Niang saying such things in front of his son. He coughed softly and said calmly: Okay, it's getting late. I've paid my respects to my grandmother. It's time for you to go out. In case everyone gets there by then.

They came in droves and blocked the road. Even on rainy days, they had to walk to the examination room. Then they ordered Xu Sizhen, who was standing by, to take your brother to the examination room with Manager Bai.

The two brothers bowed and said yes respectfully.

Brother Jin ran over.

He held Xu Siyu's hand and looked up at his brother with his big phoenix eyes: I want to go too

Xu Siyu laughed.

He bent down and said warmly: Wait until you are older.

Eleven Niang hurriedly hugged him over: Brother, something is wrong, please don’t make a fuss. Later, Niang will tell you a story.

Brother Jin has also reached the age of listening to stories, and like Xu Sijie, he tells them over and over again until his mouth is dry and his mouth is dry.

Although Brother Jin didn't insist on following him, he pouted and looked a little unhappy.

Eleven Niang was afraid that he would affect Xu Siyu's mood, so she hurriedly urged Xu Siyu to go out: I'll ask Zhu Xiang to take you to your grandmother's place. Grandma is also thinking about you going to the examination room. She should have gotten up early by this time.

Xu Siyu hummed, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he asked Brother Jin: What do you like to eat? Brother will bring it to you when he comes back.

Brother Jin has never eaten anything from outside, and unlike Xu Sijie when he was a child, he would eat even a candy with gusto. Although he has never been picky about food, he has never said what he must eat.

After thinking for a long time with his little head tilted, he looked at Eleven Niang and said: Eat the small crispy fish.

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

I had fried small crispy fish for breakfast today.

After laughing, Xu Siyu said seriously: There should be a small crispy fish in Chunxi Building. I will bring it to you after leaving the examination room.

Brother Jin smiled and snuggled up to Eleven Niang's side.

Xu Lingyi said: Just take your test and leave. Just send a boy to buy him some small crispy fish.

Neither father nor son meant to deceive Brother Jin.

Eleven Niang felt relieved.

She is most afraid that adults will make random promises to their children because they think they are ignorant, but then fail to keep them. As time goes by, children will lose trust in adults.

When Xu Siyu came off the stage, he brought back a small crispy fish for Brother Jin.

It's a pity that Brother Jin has already fallen asleep.

Xu Siyu said apologetically: I planned to come back early, but Brother Fang was waiting for me outside the examination room and took me to drink tea, along with some of his classmates and colleagues, so I asked Sizhu to come back and report a letter. I wanted to hand it to him personally.

Yeah, I didn’t expect it to be a bit longer.

You can imagine.

It's like the class reunion the day after the college entrance examination. No matter whether you did well or not, you feel like you can breathe a sigh of relief. As for whether to read the previous book or repeat it, that's something to consider after two days.

She smiled and said: It's okay. I'll give it to him and leave tomorrow.

Xu Siyu left apologetically.

Xu Lingyi, who was sitting on the big Kang by the window, waiting for Xu Siyu to come back, put down the book in his hand and said: When did he get so close to Fang Tanhuā?

Previously, I had someone guard the door. When Xu Siyu came back, he asked him to come over and say hello. But when he saw Xu Siyu, he didn't say a word.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but smile.

Brother Yu and Fang Tanhuā have always been very good, she said, but they just had their own stances on the matter of Brother Qin's daughter-in-law. Now that the two families have reconciled, they have become closer.

.

Xu Lingyi nodded and said nothing more. The next morning, Brother Jin got up and saw a package of small crispy fish on the bedside, and seemed a little confused.

The second young master went to Chunxi Building to buy this for the sixth young master. Mother Gu hurriedly said, when you brought it over last night, you were already asleep.

Brother Jin became happy, picked up the small crispy fish and ran into Eleven Niang's inner room: Mom, my second brother bought me the small crispy fish.

Eleven Niang smiled and kissed Brother Jin on the cheek: Remember to thank him when you see him later.

Brother Jin nodded and saw Xu Siyu obediently thanking him.

Xu Siyu smiled and touched brother Jin's head.

A little maid ran in: Madam, the Second Madam asked the Second Young Master if he had come to say hello. If so, please ask the Second Young Master to go to Shaohua Courtyard.

Before he finished speaking, another little maid ran in: Madam, the jade-printed sister next to the Tai Madam is here. She said that on the order of the Tai Madam, she asked the second young master if he had come. If he did, please let him go.

Xu Siyu came back too late yesterday, and neither the Tai Madam nor the Second Madam waited for him.

Are they concerned about how Xu Siyu did in the exam?

Eleven Niang couldn't help laughing.

On the contrary, Xu Lingyi didn't ask a word.

She ordered: Go quickly and be careful to keep the madam and your second aunt waiting.

Xu Siyu responded and left.
