"What should I do if I fail the exam? It's not that easy to be named on the gold list!" Zhao Yingxue cried, she couldn't gamble her life's happiness. You must know that many talents are still a scholar after taking exams for a lifetime.

The way out for a scholar is to be a teacher in a small private school, or even set up a stall on the roadside to write letters for others. At most, he can be a master. Butler Ding in the Zhenguo General's Mansion is still a former official. If he fails the exam, then

Wouldn’t she be a scholar’s ​​wife for the rest of her life?

This ungrateful guy still wants to climb high. But he doesn't know General Zhao's hard work. If he has the ability to open up a world in the court, then for the sake of her husband's family, more people in the house can protect her.

.If you don’t have the ability, then just be a normal person. The officials saw that there was no threat, so they let it go.

In the previous plot, the one who survived in the end was the eldest sister whose husband was mediocre.

If it weren't for the fact that she was also the flesh and blood of General Zhao, since she was Aunt Xu's daughter, if she didn't kill her secretly, she would have cared about her family ties, and she would still be doing everything in her power.

Xining was already very impatient and didn't mind showing it on his face: "I know, I'll talk to my father when he's in a good mood. You go back first!"

"Third sister, you are the only one who can help me. Please go and talk to dad now." Zhao Yingxue begged.

At this time, Chunyu brought a bowl of dark soup: "Miss, it's time to take the medicine!"

Dongmei took the opportunity to say: "Second Miss, my lady is about to take medicine. My lady knows about your matter."

Xia He brought the candied fruit over and said, "You will inevitably feel sleepy after taking this medicine. Second Miss, you'd better go back first."

It was already like this, Zhao Yingxue could only grit her teeth, stood up and saluted slightly: "Then I'll trouble Third Sister." and left angrily.

After Zhao Yingxue left, Yan Hong snorted coldly: "I asked the young lady to beg the general. I really don't know where she got such a big face. Is it okay to accept the marriage arranged by the general? I don't want to marry the county magistrate's son.

Is it possible that you still want to marry into the Heavenly Family and become a concubine?"

Qiuye looked at Xining's face and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "Yanhong~, children, please don't interfere in the master's affairs."

"Isn't it?" Yan Hong, who was killed by a stone lion at the gate of Duke Rong's mansion in her previous life because of her master, has always been jealous of her. When she encounters things that she doesn't like, she gets very angry: "When I see her, she wants to be a concubine.

, I haven’t even scratched the surface of these things, and I’m still dreaming.”

Then I heard a maid talking outside: "Hey, Second Miss, didn't you say you still have something to do? I've been standing at the door for so long, why didn't you go in?"

Yanhong's face suddenly turned pale. Zhao Yingxue did not leave, but was still at the door. I don't know how much she heard of what she just said.

Qiuye glanced at Yanhong reproachfully and hurriedly walked out. But he quickly came back: "Let's go."

Then he looked at Yan Hong meaningfully: "He left in a huff."

Yan Hong's eyes suddenly turned red: "I, I didn't mean it...I won't cause trouble for the lady, right?"

Zhao Yingxue has deep thoughts, so it is normal to leave and come back again.

"Just listen when you hear it. Be careful in the future, trouble comes from your mouth. Next time your mouth causes trouble, I won't smooth it over for you." Xining turned to Chunyu: "What's in the bowl?

"

It's because the medicine is three-point poisonous. She can eat and drink well, but Mrs. Zhao replaces the medicine with food supplements. She has stopped taking the medicine a long time ago. Where did they bring another bowl of medicine?

Chunyu smiled and handed the bowl to her: "Miss, you will know after you try it."

Xining picked up the bowl and smelled it. He roughly knew what it was from the smell and drank it all in one gulp.

Xia He handed over the small plate with candied fruits, but she pushed it away.

He took the hand towel and wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "This thick soup made from red dates, peanuts and longan is quite sweet."

All the unhappiness and gloom in the room were dispelled at once.

Chun Yu smiled and said: "It happened to be boiling in the kitchen, and I thought it might be useful, so I poured a little soup. In order to reduce the heat, I also added lotus seeds. Do you want your slave to bring a bowl?"

"You are getting smarter. Go and get a small bowl." Xining also smiled: "If there are more, you guys can also have a bowl."

As long as it's not ginseng and deer antlers, the maids of the general's palace can also afford to eat longan and lotus seeds.

"Thank you, miss, I'll get it right away." Chunyu went to hold it happily.

Looking at Yan Hong standing next to her with her head lowered, her eyes were red. After all, she was only eleven years old, so it was normal to say the wrong thing. Xi Ning said: "Don't think too much, pay more attention in the future. Stop before you speak.

, don’t just spit out what you don’t think about. Let’s go eat the sweet soup, Xia He, take Yanhong to eat first.”

"Yes, miss!" Yan Hong choked up as she spoke.

Xia He looked at Yan Hong reproachfully, took Yan Hong's hand and went out.

Dongmei stood next to her and sighed slightly: "Yan Hong's mouth was open and she definitely offended the second young lady. The young lady didn't beat her up a few times and showed it to the second young lady. She even asked her to eat some red date and longan soup.

Miss is the most generous."

After all, Yan Hong was killed and martyred for the sake of the general's mansion. She deserves some pain!

While eating the sweet soup, Xi Ning filtered what had just happened and thought of something. He sipped the last red date in his mouth. After eating the jujube meat, he spit the jujube core into the fruit shell dish next to it.

There are Chunyu, Xiahe and Dongmei beside her. Xiahe eats quickly and comes to exchange for autumn leaves to eat. Yanhong deliberately prevents him from entering the house. Yanhong will come in again tomorrow, with red circles in his eyes, knowing that he has made a mistake, even if

If the lady doesn't say anything, she might be offended.

Xining ordered: "Dongmei, go find Qiuye and ask her to call Zhao Geng over."

Zhao Geng is the head of the guard, while Qiu Tian is the head of the secret guards. Zhao Geng is in charge of the public, while Qiu Tian is in charge of the secret. Generally speaking, the two of them either come together, or Zhao Geng comes over.

This time it was Zhao Geng who came over. After only Qiuye was left and the other maids had left, he bowed and said, "What can I do for you, Miss?"

"During this period, if the second young lady leaves the house, keep a close eye on her. Come back and tell me who you meet and what happens." Xi Ning instructed.

Zhao Geng rolled his eyes inadvertently, but his plain face had a pair of shrewd eyes: "The general has sent people to Jingxi Courtyard, does the lady want to know about the affairs of Jingxi Courtyard?"

"Oh?" Xining raised his eyebrows: "Okay."

Zhao Geng reached out and took out a booklet from the lapel of his cotton-padded coat: "This is from yesterday. Please take a look at it, Miss."

This time it was Xining's turn to be stunned. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and only took a moment. He motioned for Qiuye to bring it over.

Opening the palm-sized booklet, there is a conversation between Aunt Xu and Zhao Yingxue written in small regular script. The handwriting is neat and tidy. You must know that this is a conversation, both eavesdropping and writing. It must be a professional.

Xining asked: "Is it rewritten?"

Zhao Geng was slightly surprised: "It is indeed transcribed. During the interrogation, the writing was in fast writing. Only we can understand it, so we have to copy it again. Miss is really a knowledgeable person!"

Xining smiled and continued reading.
