"That's exactly what you said. Mr. Shen is becoming more and more disrespectful of etiquette." Nianxiang also complained.

The matter was over after just a few words, and no one cared about it anymore.

Shen Qiuhe had been sitting in the house. Every time he heard footsteps, he thought it was Qiao Guxin coming over. However, from dawn to dark, he still didn't see Qiao Guxin coming over.

After waiting for the lamp to be turned on, Mrs. Gu sent her subordinates over, "I have met Mr. Shen. My wife said that dinner will be ready soon. I will leave you to have dinner at the house."

This sounds polite, but everyone who understands should know that this is Gu's disguised attempt to chase people away. If he is really sincere, the master will come over. Why let a low-ranking person pass the message in a shady and yin-yang way? I don’t know how many times I changed my tone.

Shen Qiuhe immediately stood up and said, "Madam, you're welcome. I have been harassing your house for half a day. My mother at home is also thinking about me. I will go back first and come back another day when I have time."

When Shen Qiuhe said this, the people below him immediately said, "Then Mr. Shen will not be left here."

The eagerness is as if Shen Qiuhe is something dirty and doesn't want to be contaminated at all.

This was the first time that Shen Qiuhe was treated like this, so he bowed his head and left quickly.

Sitting on the horse, Shen Qiuhe felt that the shame on his face had not gone away.

The riding crop in his hand suddenly waved. Wang Si did not expect Shen Qiuhe to run so fast suddenly, so he quickly chased after him. As he ran, he tilted his head slightly and shouted, "Master, where are you going?"

"Kill someone." Shen Qiuhe replied without thinking.

At this moment, he urgently needs to vent his anger, and it depends on who provokes him first.

Shen Qiuhe left. When Mrs. Gu found out, she still muttered a few words in the room, "I feel more and more that this child is indeed not a good match."

I originally thought that as long as the character was good, I could consider it, but now it seems that it is still a little bit worse.

Aunt Jin prepared dishes for the Gu family, "Our eldest girl is very lucky, and we will definitely find a good son-in-law."

If it wasn't Shen Qiuhe, it could be someone else, so there's no need to worry.

Mrs. Gu hummed, and the people below came to report in a panic, "Madam, the Marquis fainted again."

Now Ning Shunhou is being nursed back to health by the government doctor, and everything in the inner house still has to go through the Gu family.

Mrs. Gu's expression did not change after hearing this, "I don't think the Marquis wants to disturb the old lady, so he will suppress the matter and use the medicine as he wants."

This wasn't the first time that Ning Shunhou fainted. On the night when Qiao Xunfeng was beaten, didn't Ning Shunhou collapse because he couldn't hold on anymore?

Thinking about it, my favorite daughter should have suffered such an end, not to mention fainting, even vomiting blood.

Today, from Ning Shunhou's point of view, this joy that originally belonged to Qiao Xunfeng was given to Qiao Wenzhi in vain, and he did not even dare to fart during the whole process, so he was so aggrieved.

In Gu's words, he fainted when he needed to and vomited when he needed to. It was so heartbreaking that even if he didn't vomit blood, it would hurt like he was tearing out his heart.

After giving instructions, Mrs. Gu continued to eat as she pleased. She no longer cared about Ning Shunhou.

At this moment, it was just a fainting. Gu would probably react only when the news came that Ning Shunhou was dead.

Of course, it's not that I feel bad, I just secretly scold Ning Shunhou for being unlucky. If he really dies, the children will have to observe filial piety, which will delay their marriage.

That's all!

Now everyone's attention is on the scientific examination. After nervous waiting, waiting for the end of the palace examination, the candidates can finally be picked up.

When the Marquis's carriage was approaching, the old lady asked people to start setting off firecrackers.

The entire Hou Mansion was as lively as the Chinese New Year.

Except for Ning Shunhou, he didn't know what he was busy with. After seeing that Qiao Xunfeng was fine, he didn't go home all day long.

He always said that there was something going on at the Ministry of Industry. The old lady sent people to investigate, but there was no news that Ning Shunhou went out to eat wine at such an old age. As long as he didn't do anything embarrassing, the old lady would not do it.

No matter what, let him go.

After the carriage stopped, the ground was already covered with thick Yichen firecracker skin.

Qiao Wenqing, still wearing the same clothes as when he left the house, got off the carriage, then knelt down in front of the old lady, "Grandma, mother's greeting."

"Get up, get up." The old lady felt distressed and quickly pulled Qiao Wenqing up and looked him up and down, "After all, I have put so much effort into it, it looks like I have lost a lot of weight."

When I was in Taixue before, I could still complain about whether the food was not smooth to the taste, but I couldn't complain this time. It was all prepared by the royal family, so it must be excellent.

Qiao Wenqing then smiled and said, "I hope that I will live up to my grandmother's expectations."

As he said that, his eyes moved around Gu's face, and then he glanced at Qiao Guxin. Seeing that their expressions were fine, he felt relieved.

After the old lady pulled Qiao Wenqing into the door, she immediately ordered Qiao Wenqing to take a bath and change clothes first, "We will have a banquet tonight, and we are not allowed to escape this time."

Even if you are sleepy, just be patient.

Qiao Wenqing smiled and nodded, "My grandson obeys."

The funny old lady laughed. When Qiao Wenqing turned around, she patted Qiao Wenqing on the shoulder. Although she didn't say anything, she seemed to have said everything in silence.

Nowadays, the house is always a little cold in autumn. Mrs. Gu was afraid that Qiao Wenqing would blow the wind, so she directly put a heater in the house.

Qiao Wenqing was in good spirits. After cleaning up, he had dinner with Gu at noon.

After hearing that Qiao Wenbing was harmed by Qiao Xunfeng, I felt very sad and secretly glad that I had escaped.

As for Ning Shunhou, as long as he didn't bully the Gu family, Qiao Wenqing didn't ask any more questions.

Qiao Xunfeng has done such a wrong thing, and Ning Shunhou still wants to protect her. How can a son feel other than being disappointed?

During dinner, Ning Shunhou still didn't come back. Because the old lady was happy, she pulled Qiao Wenqing to talk to her, and the scene was very lively.

Especially after hearing Qiao Wenqing say that she felt that she should have done well in the exam this time, the old lady was even more happy. If she could get into the top three, it would be an honor for the Hou family.

When the old lady was happy, she immediately wanted to drink fruit wine. Even Aunt Miao couldn't stop her, and everyone started laughing.

However, the old lady's physical strength is always limited. Although the meal was lively, it was gone quickly.

When going out, Qiao Wenqing called out, "Fourth brother."

Everyone knew that Qiao Wenqing had something to say to Qiao Wenbing. Thinking about it, the two of them were happily participating in the scientific examination together, but now only Qiao Wenqing was left, and he always had to ask a question.

Third Yiniang wiped the corners of her eyes, and then laughed again. They have a long-lasting love, and only those who are concubines have a chance to succeed.

Mrs. Gu asked the people below to get cloaks for the two children, so as not to freeze at night, and said nothing more.

Qiao Wenqing went to Qiao Wenbing's courtyard. When he was a scholar, he rarely drank alcohol, but now he is about to enter an official career and has to adapt. Qiao Wenqing asked someone to give him Bamboo Leaf Green, but asked someone to give him Qiao Wenbing.

I took some grape wine that was just made from autumn grapes.

Qiao Wenqing didn't know how to speak, so he just clinked the glasses with Qiao Wenqing, and everything was lost in the wine.

After drinking three drinks, Qiao Wenbing suddenly laughed, "Brother, do you want to meet Sister Feng?"

Before Qiao Wenqing could speak, Qiao Wenbing continued, "It's cold today, and there is still draft in the woodshed. I heard that she is not in good health, and her rice is cold for a long time. She is very miserable."

Qiao Wenqing took another sip of wine, "That's her, she's the one to blame!"

Qiao Wenbing nodded in agreement, "So, my heart is already at ease."

Qiao Wenqing looked sideways at Qiao Wenbing, understood what he meant, and then patted Qiao Wenbing on the shoulder, "I'm waiting for you in the court."

Qiao Wenbing laughed, "That's natural, I will definitely chase after my brother."

Qiao Wenqing immediately put down the wine. He didn't know how much he would drink in the officialdom in the future, and whether he would like the taste one day. Anyway, now he found it very unpleasant to drink, so he threw the wine bottle further away, "

It's still early in the morning, so I heard you memorize a book, and Master said to you, your basic skills are not solid."

Qiao Wenbing originally wanted to say some more heroic words, but he didn't expect Qiao Wenqing's words to change so quickly, and then he laughed dryly, "I looked at the sky and it was too late."

"Hurry up." Seeing that Qiao Wenbing was still trying to escape, Qiao Wenqing immediately straightened his face, showing a hint of official authority.

Qiao Wenbing had a sad face, but he accepted his fate and went to get his book. After taking it, he held it in front of Qiao Wenqing with both hands, waiting for Qiao Wenqing to check it randomly.

Qiao Wenqing didn't even read the book, he just put it aside casually and could recite the test questions just by opening his mouth.

The world says that Qiao Wenqing is a genius, but talents are rarely born. No matter how smart he is, it is useless without a foundation, and learning books is his foundation.

Third Yiniang was originally worried that the children had eaten too much and would be stared at. If she saw anyone drunk, she would try to persuade them. But who knew, the next person said that the two children were endorsing the book?

The third aunt was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "No wonder the third young master is so promising. This child is destined to be no ordinary person."

I finally relaxed and relaxed. I have finished my exams and my homework has not fallen behind.

As the saying goes, if you are close to Zhu, you will be red; if you are close to ink, you will be black. Qiao Wenbing followed Qiao Wenqing and learned, and the difference is not much different.

Thinking about it, Qiao Wenbing had been close to Qiao Xunfeng before, and was harmed because he missed the official business. If she had known this outcome earlier, she would have broken Qiao Wenbing's legs and refused to let him have any contact with Qiao Xunfeng.

Thinking of this, Third Yiniang became even more angry.

After sitting for a while, I became more and more angry as I thought about it, then I waved someone to bring me some crotons and waited for Qiao Xunfeng to eat them with her rice.

"Auntie, this..." The person below was still a little afraid and wanted to persuade her in a low voice.

"What are you afraid of? It won't kill her!" Now the old lady's heart is focused on Qiao Wenqing, Ning Shunhou is often away from home, and if Qiao Xunfeng has diarrhea, who will care?

Are you waiting for the lady to fall in love with you?

I guess Madam wants to skin her, why would she do this for her?

So what if Qiao Xunfeng was punished, in San Yiniang's heart, it was not enough.

Just as the third aunt had expected, no one would care about Qiao Xunfeng. She had diarrhea for several days, and finally it stopped and nothing serious would happen. Mrs. Gu was afraid that she would die and have someone repair the window, so she gave up.

Even if Marquis Ningshun heard about it, he could only send a few quilts.

Croton is a very common thing. If the doctor wanted to check it out, he would probably be able to spot the problem at a glance. But the master didn't care, so what was he talking about?

Third Yi Niang wants to torment Qiao Xunfeng, but she has to endure it!

The day when the rankings were released was calculated by Qintian Supervisor. On this day, the sky was clear and blue, which was the best weather.

The old lady only sent her servant to have a look, and then led the whole family to kneel in the ancestral hall to pray for the blessings of their ancestors.

Unlike the previous opening of the ancestral hall, this time the old lady was the eldest person in the family, so it was natural to have a grand ceremony.

The incense burned smoothly and the cigarette rose straight up.

Mrs. Gu clasped her hands together. Just seeing the fragrance look like this, she couldn't help but get excited. This was a good sign.

Even though everyone got up early and didn't even eat breakfast, everyone didn't feel tired and knelt there in a polite manner.

Until the sound of gongs was heard outside, the old lady's eyes, which were originally closed, opened instantly.

"I'm so happy, I'm so happy, the young master is hit, he's hit." The boy yelled at the top of his voice. His voice could be heard throughout the yard, and even the birds on the branches screamed in surprise.

Mrs. Gu helped the old lady up. The old lady walked in front and stood at the door of the ancestral hall. The rosary in her hand was still spinning. When she came to the Buddha's head, she still remembered not to turn it over the Buddha's head.

"I hit it, I hit it." The boy finally ran to the ancestral hall, gasping for air and shouting happily.

"What did you hit?" the old lady asked cautiously, even a little tentatively.

"I won, number one." When the boy shouted out, even the girls laughed happily.

The old lady was so choked up that she didn't know what to say.

Mrs. Gu finally reacted and asked, "Have you looked carefully?"

The boy nodded repeatedly, "The gold pen annotation on the list, Qiao Wenqing's three big characters are written clearly. I can see clearly that the good news officer is already on his way."

Even though Qiao Wenqing was famous for his talents, Gu never expected that he would be the top scorer in high school, especially when he was away from home and there were changes in his family. It was even more difficult.

Mrs. Gu suddenly couldn't help but burst into tears. Her forbearance these days had finally paid off, and her two children would have a good future.

Qiao Guxin's eyes were also red. In his previous life, Qiao Wenqing left sadly. He had no choice but to never take the scientific examination or enter the officialdom in this life.

Finally, my life was changed.

Qiao Guxin wiped the corners of her eyes, and then told Nianxiang to prepare a silver reward.

The old lady and Mrs. Gu also reacted and hurried to the front yard to wait for the official who announced the good news.

Qiao Wenbing clasped his fists behind him, "Congratulations, brother."

Qiao Wenqing stopped smiling and patted Qiao Wenqing twice, "Waiting for you."

Qiao Wenting laughed heartily, "I don't have the skills of my brother. I just want to have a place on the imperial list."

After walking a few steps, the old lady suddenly remembered something and quickly stopped the young man, "Did you see the name of Young Master Feng on the imperial list?"

The boy smiled and said, "To answer the old lady's question, you are talking about Feng Zhaoan, Mr. Feng? The most beautiful girl in high school!"

This was different from the previous life. Qiao Guxin remembered that in the previous life, Qiao Xunfeng's husband was the second best in high school. It seems that because Qiao Wenqing took the scientific examination, everyone fell one place behind.

The old lady really smiled so hard that her gums were exposed. Her grandson was the top scorer in high school, and even the granddaughter of a concubine could be worthy of Tanhua Ye. Such a grand scene did not even appear when the old Marquis was around.

Pass.
