Rebirth of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 121

Chapter 121

Wu Lingyan looked surprised, "1 taels? My God, with so much money, someone bet 1 taels of silver to bet that Miss Muxi would not pass the first round?"

"That's right, all the money in Jiangzhou that Miss Mu Xi couldn't pass is not as much as him alone. I really don't know who is so stupid. This time I will lose everything. I gave a large amount of money to the gambling house for nothing. .” Sun Qingjia covered her mouth and chuckled.

The ladies around agreed.Even those who laughed at Ye Muxi before, no one thought that she couldn't even pass the first round of four tests.

It's as if she has already shown her talent for being the number one scholar, yet someone bet that she doesn't know how to read. It's really funny.

Ye Muxi smiled slightly, "Everyone is absurd. After all, the odds are [-] times, and it is human nature for someone to want to gamble."

"Miss Muxi is right. It's just that betting on a dozen or so taels of silver to try the water is called luck. Betting on 1 taels really makes one wonder if the bettor is a fool. Hundred times the odds, also How can there be a gambling shop that is losing money? This person is so stupid and short-sighted, isn't he the most stupid in the world?" Sun Qingjia said with a smile.

Wu Lingyan nodded in agreement, "Extremely, extremely."

The other ladies also echoed. Sun Qingjia saw Ling Xuan'er standing aside and didn't join their conversation. She and Ling Xuan'er had a good friendship, so she intentionally eased the relationship between her and Ye Muxi, and said with a smile, "Miss Xuan'er , do you think what I said is right?"

Sun Qingjia is the daughter of the magistrate of Yangzhou. Her words are easy to offend people, but she has no bad intentions. Pulling Ling Xuan'er to speak is purely out of good intentions.

Ling Xuan'er clenched her pink fists tightly in her sleeve robe, wishing to sew Sun Qingjia's mouth shut, but she smiled sweetly, "That's right."

"Look, Miss Xuan'er also thinks that the person who made the bet is a fool, am I right? It's a pity that I don't know who made the bet? If you can bet 1 taels of silver at once, you must be from a wealthy family, right?" Sun Qingjia sighed.

Hearing this, Ling Xuan'er felt as if she was being slapped in the face in public, she wished she could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

Wu Lingyan said, "It's not an ordinary wealthy family, but in my family, it is impossible to bet with ten thousand taels of silver all at once."

"My family doesn't squander so much money." Sun Qingjia nodded in agreement. Everyone chatted and laughed about who the bet was, and many people vaguely pointed out that it might be Cheng Yujiao.

Ling Xuan'er was so ashamed and annoyed listening to everyone's discussion.She has always thought highly of herself, and she puts on the air of being the number one lady in the south of the Yangtze River. First, she was not as good as Ye Muxi in the examination of Chaohuang, and then she was ridiculed by a group of ladies, but she still pretended to know nothing, and chimed in with the others. I'm stupid.

She used to enjoy hearing Cheng Yujiao and others mocking Ye Muxi.Now listening to other people mocking him like this, he knows what it means to hurt others with vicious words.

These people's mocking words, sneering demeanor, and contemptuous eyes were like sharp knives piercing Ling Xuan'er's body.When did Ling Xuan'er, who was always praised and raised, hear so many unbearable and vicious words, her eyes were red with grievances, and she almost shed tears.

But they don't think about it, they have been talking about Ye Muxi with a hundred times more vicious remarks. If Ye Muxi is as hypocritical as her, he should have committed suicide tens of thousands of times.

"Wow~"

Ling Xuan'er couldn't stay any longer, she turned around and left with a flick of her sleeves.

"Hey, why did Miss Xuan'er leave? I was just saying that you all passed the first level, and we happened to go to a restaurant to celebrate together. Why did Miss Xuan'er leave first..." Sun Qingjia looked surprised, not knowing so.

Ye Muxi was also a little puzzled, Ling Xuan'er's mood just now was not right.But Ye Muxi didn't care, and said with a smile, "It's time for me to go back and announce the good news to my family. Grandma is still waiting for my sister-in-law and I to go back to have lunch, so I won't celebrate with you. When the second round of assessment is over, At the Qiongfang Banquet hosted by Chaohuang, let’s chat with you all.”

Although Ye Muxi refused to celebrate with them, her words were so beautiful that Sun Qingjia and others who were rejected did not feel unhappy at all, but felt at ease.

Because the Qiongfang Banquet hosted by Chaohuang only invites the top 100 people after the second round of assessment.

Ye Muxi asked them to meet again at the Qiongfang Banquet, making one feel that Ye Muxi also gave them a high regard.

"Then let Miss Muxi give me a good word. No wonder Old Master Wei, such an old-timer who doesn't like hard things, also gave Miss Muxi a card. Only after seeing Miss Muxi herself did I know that the rumors from the outside world are not true. Miss Muxi's demeanor, It is definitely worthy of the seven ivory-carved bamboo plaques it deserves." Sun Qingjia said with a smile.

Ye Muxi, who is not arrogant or impetuous, has to be admired.

Sister Ye Muxi left Chaohuang Academy, and the Ye Mansion had already received the news, and the celebration was celebrated with lanterns and festoons. Mrs. Ye stood at the door and waited for Sister Ye Muxi to come back.

"Grandmother, you are still sick. Why are you standing in the wind and waiting for us? It's time for us to visit grandma." Ye Muxi walked in to welcome Old Madam Ye, and said with a smile.

Mrs. Ye smiled gratifiedly, and couldn't suppress the joy in her heart, and said freely, "I heard the news that you have passed the customs one after another, and your old body will recover from your illness. Muxi, you really gave grandma a surprise. Our Ye parents are embarrassed."

"Grandmother has won the prize." Ye Muxi said modestly, looking at Lin Mingyu's mother and son beside her grandmother.

It's rare that the old lady called the two of them together.

Lin Mingyu looked at her, her eyes were full of crystal clear teardrops, she couldn't control her excitement, she wanted to say something, but in the end she just turned her back with tears in her eyes, embarrassed to be seen crying by her.

Ye Muxi's heart warmed up, but she was also slightly sour. She knew that her grandmother's happiness was mixed with the Ye family's interests. Only this woman who had been silently with her all this time had no impurities in her happiness.

She is not only happy that her daughter has become the most dazzling one in Chaohuang's draft, but that there is only one bamboo card left. With Ye Muxi's demonstrated strength, there is no objection to entering Chaohuang Academy next.

In the past, she was unable to protect her daughter, but now with the blessing of Chaohuang Academy, Ye Muxi is the hope of the Ye family, and the Ye family will fully support her, and will never decide her marriage and her future casually.

If there is anything going on in the future, the old lady will also ask Ye Muxi for advice.

She was happy for Ye Muxi.

She doesn't ask how talented her daughter is, but only asks that her life can be held in her own hands.

A loving mother's heart does not seek wealth, but that she can be happy.

Now that my wish has come true, how can I not be so excited that tears welled up in my eyes.

Ye Hong, on the other hand, threw himself into Ye Muxi's lap excitedly, "Sister, you are so amazing, Hong'er is proud of you!"

"Hong'er." Ye Muxi knelt down and hugged him into her arms, feeling a burst of warmth in her heart.

Mother, brother, I have achieved something now, and I can share it with you, and it is such a joy to see you proud of me.

In the previous life, even if she took such an honorable position as the crown princess, there was no one around her who was really happy for her, so what if she stood at the highest place, the height was overwhelming.

Ye Muxi's greatest happiness in this life is that her closest relatives are by her side. In order to protect this family, she will become stronger step by step and not let anyone hurt her relatives.

"Come in quickly, a table of banquets has been prepared, waiting for you to come back." Mrs. Ye said with a blushing smile.

Ye Muxi and the others walked in together. There was a large table of food and wine in the Ming Auditorium. Except for Zhao Menglan who was recuperating in bed, everyone in the Ye Mansion was present, including Ye Muxi's two uncles.

"Muxi, I'm really blind. I was deceived by a few slaves and misunderstood your mother." As soon as Shen Yunpei saw Ye Muxi, she came up to her, her cheeks were still red, and there were two slap marks left. , said with an apologetic face, "I just found out today that the last case of 5000 taels of silver was purely blamed by the subordinates. The manager of the West Fourth Court's procurement took 5000 taels of silver for himself. Seeing that the matter was revealed, he bought the accountant Mr. blamed my sister-in-law. I was deceived by that scumbag and misunderstood my sister-in-law. I really deserve to die."

As soon as the news that Ye Muxi became No.1 in the first round of this year's draft came back, the old matriarch overturned the previous case to Lin Mingyu and asked Shen Yunpei to make an apology to Sanfang.

Shen Yunpei was still not happy, but Ye Linghai saw his wife was so dishonest, raised his hand and slapped her, and gave her a good education.

Ye Muxi glanced at the old matriarch, saw the loving smile on the old man's face, knew that the old matriarch was showing favor to her, looked at Shen Yunpei and said nonchalantly, "A misunderstanding almost caused my mother to be killed. The bamboo board, if it wasn't for my grandmother's protection, my mother's hand would have been unable to save it. At this moment, Erniang just misunderstood and wanted to take it off lightly?"

"You..." Shen Yunpei was about to get angry when her face changed, but thinking of the attitude of the old lady and her man just now, no matter how stupid she was, she knew that the direction of the Ye family had changed.

Now Ye Muxi is the most precious sweet pastry of the Ye family, and everyone has to support her.She was no longer the rundown and unfavored young lady of the past.

"Second daughter-in-law, you have made such a big mess and are so useless, I don't think you need a housekeeper anymore, you can rest at home." The old lady gave her a sideways look, very dissatisfied with her attitude.

"Old Madam." Shen Yunpei's face was startled, and she really panicked now.

The power of the first and second housekeepers is the power of the housekeeper of the Ye Mansion, and everyone in the mansion listens to them, so there is no need to talk about the oil and water in it.If she is not the wife in charge from now on, how can she convince the public.

The old matriarch looked at Ye Muxi kindly, "Muxi, when you marry into your in-law's family and become the mistress, you must learn to be a housekeeper. First, you should be the head lady of Ye's mansion, and practice hard."

Everyone knows the old lady's protection of Ye Muxi.

Shen Yunpei finally came to her senses, if she didn't do something else, Ye Fu would not have her say in the future.

"Papa!" Shen Yunpei raised her hand and slapped herself twice, and tearfully pulled Ye Muxi's hand and said, "Muxi, it was the second mother's fault in the past. I have worked so hard for the Ye family for so many years. Thinking of my negligence, my sister-in-law was misunderstood, my sister-in-law was punished, and I was almost tortured with a bamboo board. Now I have beaten the steward and the accountant who framed my sister-in-law and made them suffer with a bamboo board. The punishment of punishment is to vent my anger on my sister-in-law. However, I am also guilty of negligence, and I should have been removed from the management by the old matriarch. I just hope that Mu Xi will not resent Erniang, and not anger the servants of the second room because of this."

Speaking of which, Shen Yunpei has shed two lines of tears, "If Mu Xi can't forgive me, I will kneel down for you."
