In fact, the man surnamed Wang has no control over the enrollment of Yueshan Academy.
Everyone knows that Yueshan Academy is difficult to enter, even if his master comes forward, there is no way to directly squeeze a person in.
But this did not delay him from agreeing to Chen Mingyi's request, and took two taels of silver from Chen Mingyi without doing anything.
If Chen Zhongda passed the exam, he could still say it was his own contribution.
If you didn't pass the exam, it's because the competition was too fierce. Even if you moved around, you still didn't get in. You can't blame him. Anyway, you didn't make a big guarantee that you could get in.
"Yes, I have put a lot of thought into this time. If the young man studies hard on weekdays, he will definitely be able to enter Yueshan Academy this time."
These words were said but left unsaid.
Chen Mingyi understood in his heart, smiled and said a lot of compliments.
Butler Wei called Manager Wang to prepare to go back. Manager Wang immediately smiled and said, "Hey, I'll go back right away."
Butler Wei took the first step, and Chen Mingyi immediately asked, "Who is this..."
"This is the big housekeeper of the family. I won't say any more. I have to go back quickly. I have a lot of things to do. If you do well in the exam, please remember to have a drink with me."
They left, but Chen Mingyi stayed there for a long time, unable to recover.
The person surnamed Wang is a minor steward of the Wei family and does not have much power, while the person just now is the chief steward of the Wei family and has a say in everything inside and outside.
But that person actually knew Lin Joy and spoke pleasantly, but Lin Joy ignored him.
What is going on here?
Wu waited for them to leave and happily came up to her and said, "Old man, he said Zhongda can definitely pass the exam. We have nothing to worry about. Zhongda will definitely do it."
Chen Mingyi snorted, "What he said is nonsense. Zhongda has good knowledge and can pass the exam even if he doesn't have any connections. But if someone is causing trouble secretly, he won't be able to pass the exam even if he does well."
"What do you mean?"
Chen Hongchang and Yang also gathered around. Chen Mingyi said nothing and led the family home.
After returning home, Wu asked again, "Old man, what do you mean by what you said? Who is behind it?"
Chen Mingyi told the story about the conversation between Butler Wei and Lin Joy, "I didn't know that they met such a person, and I don't know how they met. Today's exam, the big housekeeper was there. Lin Joy hates us so much. Who knew?
I won’t cause trouble behind my back to make Zhongda fail the exam.”
When Yang heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded.
"What should we do? Dad, don't you know some important people? Go talk to someone. Zhongda will definitely pass the exam."
How could Chen Mingyi admit that the people he knew were far inferior to others, "Zhongda has already entered the examination room. What else is there to say? I can only hope that Zhongda is capable. They can't do anything even if they want to do harm."
The family began to worry again, and Mrs. Wu asked, "By the way, you asked Zhongda what Lin Yuxi gave him?"
Yang said, "It's a pack of herbal medicine, which is said to repel mosquitoes and relieve heat. I asked Zhongda to throw it away, but he refused to throw it away and almost got angry. I saw that it was time for him to go in, so I didn't say anything more.
What."
Wu suddenly felt like the sky was falling, "It's over, it's over. It must be a harmful thing. Maybe it's to let Zhongda run away from the hut. Damn it, Lin Yuxi is really a scorpion-hearted person. This time he can harm Zhongda."
It’s painful.”
"You said you were the same, why didn't you just grab the things and throw them away? Zhongda is kind-hearted and always thinks that others are good people, hey."
"Oh, I'm also dizzy. God, please help my son go smoothly in the exam." Yang really regretted it.
Several members of the family were worried about Chen Zhongda's exam, and they said harshly that if Chen Zhongda failed to do well in the exam, he would definitely go to Lin Yuxi to settle the score.
Chen Xiuyun was the only one working. When she heard them saying that Lin Yuxi had harmed others, she wanted to rush in and argue.
Before, she thought her sister-in-law would not be so kind, but it turned out that the medicine her sister-in-law gave her was really effective, and her stomach didn't hurt much when she had her period this month.
I have never said a few words to my sister-in-law before, but now it seems that she is really a good person, so how could she harm my brother?
Chen Xiuyun packed up the clothes at home and went to wash them. She met Lin Xixi at the river. She was also washing clothes. Xiaoyu and Xiaoduo were squatting on the bank waiting for her.
Seeing Chen Xiuyun coming, Xiaoyu and Xiaoduo called out, "Sister-in-law."
Chen Xiuyun nodded, and when Lin Yuxi turned around, she called sister-in-law again.
She thought for a while, then went to the slate next to Lin Joy to wash her clothes. Lin Joy glanced at the basket full of clothes she had brought and frowned, "You wash all these?"
Chen Xiuyun didn't expect her to suddenly say, "Ah, yes, the family's clothes. I have been busy with my brother's exams these days and didn't bother to wash them."
It was almost noon, and they were the only two washing clothes. Lin Yuxi sighed, "Why are you so honest? Just wash it if you are told, and your mother and grandma won't do anything?"
In the past, Lin Hexi and Chen Xiuyun did these tasks together. Lin Hexi did more because Yang wanted to raise Chen Xiuyun to be more delicate so that she could marry into a good family in the future.
Now that Lin Joy is no longer at home, Yang chose the former between being lazy and pampering her daughter, so Chen Xiuyun had to do everything and was even more tired than Lin Joy before.
Chen Xiuyun didn't say anything. Lin Yuxi smiled and said, "Look, your hands are rough. Your mother doesn't want you to marry a wealthy family?"
Chen Xiuyun blushed, red with embarrassment, and Lin Yuxi stopped teasing her. Girls in ancient times were not so easy to tease, and they would be in trouble if they threw themselves into the river in a short while.
Lin Yuxi had already finished washing. He stood up and pondered for a few seconds, then squatted down and picked up the clothes in the backpack, soaked them in water and started beating them with soap locust.
She still felt a little uncomfortable washing the Chen family's clothes, but from Chen Xiuyun, she saw the shadow of the dead Lin Xiyi again.
In those years, the helpless girl probably hoped that someone could help her countless times.
Chen Xiuyun said hurriedly, "Sister-in-law, I can just wash it myself. The sun is strong. You can go back with Xiaoyu and Xiaoduo."
Lin Yuxi didn't even raise her head or move her hands, "I suddenly wanted to wash, but I haven't washed enough. Are you going to let me enjoy it?"
Even if Chen Xiuyun was very innocent, she would not believe such words. Knowing that Lin Yuxi wanted to help her, she remembered her kindness in her heart and started to wash her clothes diligently.
Lin Yuxi finished washing the clothes with her before packing up and going back, "Your stomach doesn't hurt so much this month, right?"
Chen Xiuyun stood up and said, "Much better, I haven't thanked my sister-in-law properly yet."
"What can you do to thank me?" Lin Yuxi said with a smile, "Don't touch cold water when the weather is cold. If you are cold, it will affect your fertility in the future if you don't pay attention. If you feel uncomfortable, you can come to see me at home.
"
She put the basket on her back and added, "If you are not afraid that I will harm you."
