from widow to dame

Chapter 73

Su Wen was helped out of the carriage, and the anxious Su Huiniang and Mrs. Lin who had been waiting at the door greeted him immediately.Without saying anything, Su Huiniang asked someone to bring the ginseng soup she cooked herself. Su Wen drank it with a haggard face, and then ate some thin food under the pressure of her sister, and then went into the room and fell asleep.This time I slept until it was dark.

"Young master, the girl has someone boil a lot of water for you." The boy beside him said flatteringly, "Go and wash, and you can relax and relax."

Hearing that it was her sister's arrangement, Su Wen smiled and nodded.

After washing, he changed into brand new clothes. Su Wen didn't go back to his room, but walked straight to Su Huiniang's room. He knew that his mother and sister must be waiting to see him now.If it wasn't so, as soon as Su Wen lifted the curtain, he saw two people sitting on the bed and discussing something.

"Wen'er..." Mrs. Lin stood up first, and greeted her excitedly.There was also some hesitation on her face, an expression of wanting to ask but not daring to ask.

Su Wen smiled and said to his mother and sister, "Everything is fine."

Su Huiniang also laughed when she heard this, and beckoned Su Wen to sit down.

"...Thanks to my sister's thoughtfulness." Su Wen said as if recalling something: "The examination room is really inconvenient everywhere... It's okay during the day, but it's very cold and humid at night, and there are mosquitoes, a thick layer, The people I provoked couldn’t sleep. The mosquito repellent that my sister brought me came in handy. Although it has a little fragrance, it is very effective...The oilcloth also came in handy. One day it rained lightly, and there were many exams in the exam The roof of the room was leaking...the papers were all wet...the oilcloth was blocked on the roof..."

Su Huiniang and Lin just listened to Su Wen chattering about what happened in the examination room with smiles on the corners of their mouths.No one deliberately asked how Su Wenkao was doing. Anyway, he had tried his best, and as for the result, he could only resign himself to fate, right?

The results of the general examination will have to come out at least one month later, and this period of time in Beijing is also a turbulent time. While the candidates are anxiously waiting for the results, they will inevitably have a lot of small tricks in private, asking around, looking around For banquets and clique formations, the whole of Shangjing can be said to be boiling like boiling water.

However, Su Huiniang suggested to Su Wen that he hoped that he would live safely at home and not make public like others.In this regard, Su Wen agreed.He knew that his sister was doing it for his own good. Now that his grades have not come down, it is needless to say if he did not pass the exam, but if he passed the exam, it would inevitably leave people with a feeling of being unable to calm down. unfavorable.In a word, An Sheng is a cat at home, and everything will be discussed after the opening of the list.

In this way, another half month passed.

On this day, the sky was just dawning, and it was the dawn time.A figure appeared at the back door of Su's house.

Su Huiniang, who was already waiting there, went up to meet her.

"Sister Su..." The man slightly bent down and made a big salute.

But it was Lu Chu without a doubt.

She was dressed in white washed clothes, with a package in her hand, with a tense expression on her face.

Su Huiniang sighed softly, and without saying anything, the two got into the carriage directly.

"My little sister can't repay you more for sister Su's help." Lu Yu raised his eyes and said sincerely.

Su Huiniang smiled at her, but there was a feeling of fate in her heart. She opened her mouth and said, "The Shang Palace Bureau has already said hello. After you go in, find a nanny named Ma. She will help you register. There is no other place in the palace, after you enter, you must be careful."

After hearing this, the expression of gratitude on Lu Yu's face was even more important. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and she said in a sobbing voice, "Sister saved me from fire and water, I really..."

"Okay, there's no need to talk about that." Su Huiniang hesitated, then raised her hand and patted Lu Yu's arm.

In fact, when it comes to this matter, Su Huiniang has selfish intentions in her heart.If it wasn't for her knowing that Lu Yu in front of her would have a prosperous future, no matter how pitiful he was, no matter how unsuitable the man she married, Su Huiniang would definitely not be able to extend a finger to help.The reason why she agreed was that she hoped that the other party would accept her as a favor. After all, Su Wen hoped to become an official in the future, so she had to think more about herself.Anyway, even if she didn't have herself, Lu Yu would definitely enter the palace in the future, and what she did was just pushing the boat along with the flow.

Su Huiniang said to herself over and over again, and finally she didn't feel so uneasy.

Soon the carriage arrived at the gate of the imperial city. After thanking him again, Lu Yu got up and got out of the carriage with a firm brilliance on his face.Seeing the back of her gradually traveling far away, Su Huiniang really felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Lu Yu is not a "good person." Really!Decades later, this woman took control of the entire Darui regime. She was nepotism, promiscuous in the harem, and brought disaster to the world.I don't know how many people died at her hands, but today, she was sent into the palace by her own hands. Suddenly, Su Huiniang felt mixed feelings.

"Girl, shall we go back?" Suddenly, the master driving the car asked outside.

Su Huiniang came back to her senses and sighed again: "Go back!"

The waiting time is always tormented. Su Wen tried hard to make himself look the same as before, but the anxiety still emerged involuntarily. Su Huiniang didn't say much when she saw it. After all, this is human nature .The days passed day by day like this, and the day when the list was released finally came.Early in the morning, the whole family got up.They looked at each other and found that each other's eye circles were a bit dark, Su Huiniang pursed her lips and laughed.The atmosphere suddenly relaxed, Lin's face showed a smile, and Su Wen scratched his head.

The three of them sat on the round table in the flower hall, and Mu Xiang and Huo Xiang had already arranged the bowls and plates.

Today's breakfast is gruel with pastry.There are two kinds of porridge, shredded chicken porridge and millet porridge. The pastry is made of cornmeal, which smells very fragrant.In addition, there were four other side dishes, two cold and two hot. After the family ate, Su Wen led the boy out with the hopeful eyes of his mother and sister.

"Bless the Emperor Bodhisattva, let us have Wen'er at home!" Lin clasped his hands together, praying fervently.

Su Huiniang: "..."

If prayer is useful—

"Bless the Emperor Bodhisattva, let my younger brother win!"

Waiting always makes people anxious. When Su Huiniang drank the ninth cup of warm tea and Mrs. Lin almost leveled the ground at the door, there were bursts of noisy sounds, and Su Huiniang stretched her ears vigorously. , stood up suddenly, and eagerly asked Mu Xiang beside him, "Did you hear the sound of gongs and drums?"

Mu Xiang tried her best to listen, and after a while she nodded her head: "Miss, it seems so good!"

"Hurry up, hurry up and have a look at the door..." Su Huiniang could no longer bear the surprise on her face, and repeatedly pushed and shoved the little girl beside her.

After Mu Xiang heard this, she immediately turned into a monkey and ran out quickly. Su Huiniang took a deep breath, her eyes full of anticipation.

Sure enough, accompanied by the louder and louder sound of gongs and drums, she ran back quickly as if the wood was blowing hair, her face was full of joy, and she shouted: "Miss, miss, our young master has won the prize, good news! people from here..."

"Ah, ma'am, what's the matter with you..." As soon as the words here were finished, Mrs. Lin over there fainted a few times. Seeing this, Su Huiniang was really angry and funny, so she quickly pressed her down. In the middle, he ordered Huoxiang to invite the doctor.

After such a delay, as soon as Mrs. Lin was carried into the room, people rushed in from outside to push people away.

At the head were four or five yamen servants dressed in government officials, and one of them held a red list in his hand, bowed to Su Huiniang with a smile on his face and said, "Congratulations, madam, congratulations, madam, Mr. Su from your mansion is a second grader in high school." Seventeen."

Su Huiniang was really overjoyed when she heard that, she took the red list in his hand and looked at it again and again, and she saw Su Wen's name on it.

"Congratulations madam..."

"Master Juren will be able to rise up step by step in the future..."

"Wenquxing descends to earth..."

All the people around in front of me congratulated loudly, everyone's face was full of envy and flattery, Su Huiniang pursed her lips, and waved her small hand: "Mu Xiang, thank you—"

"okay!"

Amidst the applause from everyone, Mu Xiang pulled out a large basket of copper coins that had been prepared in advance, and those onlookers were waiting for nothing but this moment, and they all surrounded him with a bang.Su Huiniang specially distributed money to those yamen servants, ten taels each, for good luck. Those yamen servants benefited and said a lot of good things, because they had to "catch" another sum, oh!Do not!I was going to announce the good news to the next family, so I didn't stay any longer, and left with a smile.

"Miss, the young master sent Aji back to report the letter just now, but he was held back by some classmates and friends, and he can't come back for the time being." Mu Xiang reported the letter in Su Huiniang's ear with a happy face.

Su Huiniang nodded: "Okay, I understand."

Lin's body is fine, it's just a short-term fainting caused by being too excited. At this time, the person is awake, but his eyes are straight. Pulling Su Huiniang's clothes, he asked in a trembling voice: "I've been hit!" ? Wen'er really hit it?"

Su Huiniang held her hand and said with a smile: "The [-]th place in the top two, my brother really won!!"

There was a look of sadness and joy on Lin's face, and after a while, he covered his face and cried: "Woooooo, hit, hit...Master, our family Wen'er has been hit...you can know it if you know it." Rest in peace."

Seeing her crying sadly, Su Huiniang couldn't help feeling sorry for her. She knew that it was really not easy for Mrs. Lin.

Fortunately, heaven has eyes.

Their Su family has successors.
