Childhood Sweethearts of a Family: The Delicate Girl

Chapter 172

Originally based on Xu Ji's achievements, plus the relationship between Lin Hao, Lin Jing and others, he wanted to be selected as a scholar to study in the Imperial Academy.After the three-year study period is over, you can take part in the assessment. As long as your grades are excellent, you can stay in the Imperial Academy.

It's just that all of this is based on the fact that he has fame and is a Jinshi.

It's not that Xu Ji doesn't want to invite Lin Yu back, nor does he want to bring back the two children, but he knows that it's useless even if he goes to the Fourth Princess' Mansion now.This was only on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was because he didn't want to humble himself in front of Lin Hao, Lin Jing and others, and he didn't even want to humble himself to Lin Yu.

Originally, he was thinking that he already had fame anyway, and he hadn't done anything that could be taken advantage of. Neither his father-in-law Lin Hao nor his brother-in-law would fabricate unnecessary things in order to get revenge on him. So, he There is a lot less to worry about.On this basis, it might be a good thing for him to temporarily raise the child in the Lin family, after all, the cost of the two children is not small.

Because of such a calculation in his heart, Xu Ji waited for Lin Yu to explode at first, and brought the two children back to his father and younger brother.But after all the calculations, Xu Ji never counted that there was a problem in this year's scientific examination meeting.It was this unexpected situation that broke his original plan all at once.

There is no way to get more news in advance, he can only wait for the official notification to know what the situation is.There was no turning back for Lin Yu, so he felt even more depressed.I was so bored in my heart that I couldn't go out for entertainment, and I couldn't do anything else at all.There are not a few people who are as depressed as he is, and we can comfort each other by drinking together to soothe our sorrows.

He heard his parents say that he would go to the Fourth Princess's mansion to look for Lin Yu and the child, and he wanted to stop them at the moment, but he thought that what he said would definitely be ignored, and he didn't want to do anything, so he just let it go. They went.At most, it was the difference between a bad situation and a worse situation, and to him, there was no difference.

Ten days after learning that there was a difference in the results of the examination, Xu Ji finally waited for the official announcement.

The reason is that the examiner helped the candidates to cheat in this general examination. Although the test papers of the candidates are sealed first during the general examination, then copied by a special person, and finally handed over to the examiner for approval by many people, it is still Something went wrong.

This incident was discovered because some examinees reported it to Bachelor Lu of the Hanlin Academy, and this examinee did collect some evidence.Manchu officials are very clear about Xueshi Lu's uprightness, impartiality and strictness.He forwarded the evidence to the emperor, and the matter was exposed.

The specific situation, Xu Ji is not clear, only heard that it seems to involve some people including No. [-] and Tanhua, which is a very serious situation.After learning about the situation, he ordered Dali Temple to investigate and confirmed that it was true. The emperor ordered the candidates who participated in the general examination to take another examination.This is a situation that has never happened in this dynasty, but the emperor made a statement and discussed it carefully with the ministers. Naturally, no one dared to refute half a word.

Neither the examinees nor the examiners involved in it would have the possibility of being contaminated again. The emperor personally selected a group of people to be responsible for the re-examination of the general examination this time, and he meant to personally check it.At this juncture, there is no doubt that no one dares to continue to cheat, and even for some candidates who failed the exam, it may not be a new opportunity.

In front of Xu Ji was another challenge and the result was more unpredictable than the last one.

He has to admit and has to admit that he was able to get such a good result before, which is definitely an extraordinary performance.What's more, I had Lin Xuan's personal guidance before. During the exam, I discussed some things with Lin Xuan. Naturally, the exam questions this time will not be the same as the last time. I still want to have such good luck ...Xu Ji thought it was impossible.

When Xu Ji saw the official notice, there were only three days left before the re-examination.Even though he didn't think that three days could be redeemed, he still refused the invitation of his friends to stay in the study and study at ease.Pressed down by so many worries, he couldn't calm down for a while.

Just at this time, there was a burst of noise outside.It wasn't close to the study room, but Xu Ji couldn't stand the noise when he heard this, so he became impatient at all.He called the servant who was guarding the study door to see what was going on. The servant who heard the report said that his mother was going to sell the two aunts. I felt a mouthful of blood in my chest and almost vomited out.

Seeing her son coming out of the study, Mrs. Xu knew that Xu Ji was reading a book earlier, so she hurriedly went up to him and said to him concernedly, "Are you bothering my son to read? Oh, it's not a big deal, mother will tell you soon." Now that it's settled, my son will go back to the study and stay there for a while so that he can continue reading in peace." There was also a hint of guilt in her words.

The two aunts were struggling non-stop under the weight of the mother-in-law, and they struggled even more when they saw Xu Ji come out.They broke free from the mother-in-law's restraint almost at the same time, rushed in front of Xu Ji, pulled Xu Ji's sleeves from left to right, and begged him with grievances, "Master, please save us!" , Grandpa can’t ignore us like this! No matter what, we have served Grandpa for so many years, how can we say that we are going to be sold? There is no such thing anywhere!”

When Xu Ji saw the crying of the two aunts, he remembered how Lin Yu was crying not long ago, and felt even more impatient in his heart.He shook off the two aunts and walked behind his back with his hands behind his back, but he still frowned and asked his mother, "Mother, what's going on? Why did you sell out your aunt?"

Mrs. Xu glared at the two aunts respectively, and then said to Xu Ji embarrassingly, "There is not enough money to support such a big expense. The two aunts couldn't afford it, and my mother had no choice but to sell it. I also dismissed some of the servants who are not needed today, and it is also for the sake of our future."

Probably because she felt that it was a bit embarrassing to say such words in front of the servants, Mrs. Xu's voice was not very high.When Xu Ji heard his mother say this, he also had a bad face, so he looked at the two aunts separately.These two aunts were the two big maids who served him at the beginning, and both of them were raised as aunts after they were pregnant... But at that time, he thought that if they gave birth to a son and a half daughter, Lin Yu would definitely not be happy. Happy, let them take the child away.

"Mother, deal with it quickly, I can't even read the book when I hear the noise." Xu Jiqing said to his mother with a straight face.

He knew that once Lin Yu left, the Xu family's savings would not be able to support their past lives. If he had fame and fame, his situation would be better. Now it is really a leaky house, and it rains all night, forcing people to have no choice. up.After Xu Ji finished speaking, he turned and left without looking at the two aunts.

Mrs. Xu looked at her son, she didn't object to this matter, and the worries in her heart that her son would disagree were gone.The two aunts were stunned by Xu Ji's words. How could they have imagined that Xu Ji would be so ruthless that he would agree to sell them without even thinking about it or struggling at all?

The mother-in-law suppressed the two aunts again, but when they realized it, they screamed, struggled unwillingly and couldn't help cursing.When Mrs. Xu heard the embarrassing words coming out of their mouths, she immediately asked her mother-in-law to seal the mouths of the two aunts, and then ordered them to be tied up with a look of disgust.

When Ren Yazi came to see him, Mrs. Xu smiled and took them to see the two aunts. Even though the other party only offered a price of six taels of silver, Mrs. Xu finally agreed.It is undoubtedly a loss for the two aunts to exchange six taels of silver, but Mrs. Xu feels that there is less burden in her heart if she can send him away, so she is already happy.She just looked at the things in the two aunts' houses, and there are some valuable ones, so it's not a loss if you calculate it this way.

After sending off the maid and selling the aunt, after all the tossing, the yard became quite deserted for a while.

Mrs. Xu stood in the yard and sighed for the first time, then turned to find her husband, and told him what she had done today.

Because her third brother was going to take the test again, Lin Yuan became concerned about these matters.

Even if Qi Haoran didn't say anything, Lin Yuan also noticed what happened this time, and it seemed a little strange.She really doesn't know much, and all these trivial things are known through Qi Haoran.However, Lin Yuan still knew that this year's examination, His Majesty the Emperor handed over to the Second Prince to be responsible and arrange related matters.

Now that such a big basket has been tested, apart from the officials who have done everything and the candidates who bribed, there is no doubt that the second prince will also be affected, and most of them will be punished as well.To this day, His Majesty the Emperor has neither appointed a queen nor a new crown prince, so it is completely unclear what he wants in these matters.
