Chapter 1566: Tiger Girl 50
"What if you fail the exam? It's not that easy to get on the gold list!" Zhao Yingxue cried, she couldn't gamble her life's happiness. You must know that many talented people are still talented people after taking exams all their lives.
The way out for a scholar is to be a teacher in a small private school, or even set up a stall on the roadside to write letters for others. At most, he can only be a master. Butler Ding in the Zhenguo General's Mansion is still a former dynasty official. If she fails the exam, won't she be a scholar's wife for the rest of her life?
This ungrateful guy still wants to climb high. But he didn't know General Zhao's painstaking efforts. If he had the ability to open up a new world in the court, then for the sake of her husband's family, having more people in the house would protect her. If you don't have the ability, then just be an ordinary person. Seeing that there was no threat, the officials let it go.
In the previous plot, the one who survived in the end was the eldest sister whose husband was mediocre.
If it weren't for the fact that she was also the flesh and blood of General Zhao, since she was Aunt Xu's daughter, if she didn't kill her secretly, she would have cared about her family ties, and she would still be doing everything in her power.
Xining was already very impatient and didn't mind showing it on his face: "I know, I'll talk to my father when he's in a good mood. You go back first!"
"Third sister, you are the only one who can help me. Please go and talk to dad now." Zhao Yingxue begged.
At this time Chunyu brought a bowl of dark soup: "Miss, it's time to take the medicine!"
Dongmei took the opportunity to say: "Second Miss, my young lady has to take medicine. My young lady knows about your matter."
Xia He brought the candied fruit over and said, "You will inevitably feel sleepy after taking this medicine. Second Miss, you'd better go back first."
It was already like this, Zhao Yingxue could only grit her teeth, stood up and saluted slightly: "Then I'll trouble Third Sister." and left angrily.
After Zhao Yingxue left, Yan Hong snorted coldly: "Let the young lady go and beg the general. I really don't know where she got such a big face. The general has agreed to a marriage, and you don't want it? You don't want to marry the county magistrate's son, Is it possible that you still want to marry into the Tian family and become a concubine?”
Qiuye looked at Xining's face and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "Yanhong~, children, please don't interfere in the master's affairs."
"Isn't it?" Yan Hong, who was killed by a stone lion at the gate of Duke Rong's mansion because of her master in her previous life, has always been jealous of her, and gets very angry when she encounters things she doesn't like: "I think she wants to be a concubine. , I haven’t even scratched my head about this, I’m still dreaming.”
I heard a maid talking outside: "Hey, Second Miss, didn't you say you still have something to do? I've been standing at the door for so long, why didn't you go in?"
Yan Hong's face suddenly turned pale. Zhao Yingxue did not leave, but was still at the door. I don’t know how much she heard what she just said.
Qiuye glanced at Yanhong reproachfully and walked out quickly. But he came back quickly: "Gone."
Then he looked at Yan Hong meaningfully: "He left in a huff."
Yan Hong's eyes suddenly turned red: "I, I didn't mean it...I won't cause trouble for the lady, right?"
Zhao Yingxue has deep thoughts, so it is normal for him to come back again and again.
"Just listen when you hear it. Be careful in the future, trouble comes from your mouth. Next time your mouth causes trouble, I won't smooth it over for you." Xining turned to Chunyu: "What's in the bowl? ”
It was because the medicine was three-point poisonous. She was fine with her meals, but Mrs. Zhao replaced the medicine with food supplements. She had stopped taking the medicine long ago. Where did they bring another bowl of medicine?
Chunyu smiled and handed the bowl to her: "Miss, you will know after you try it."
Xining picked up the bowl and smelled it. I roughly knew what it was by smelling it, so I drank it all in one gulp.
Xia He handed over the small plate with candied fruits, but she pushed it away.
He took the hand towel and wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "This thick soup made from red dates, peanuts and longan is quite sweet."
All the unhappiness and gloom in the room were instantly dispelled.
Chun Yu smiled and said: "It happened to be boiling in the kitchen, and I thought it might be useful, so I poured a little soup. In order to reduce the heat, I also added lotus seeds. Do you want me to bring a bowl over?" "You are getting better and better." Be smart, go get a small bowl." Xining also smiled: "If there are more, you guys can also have a bowl."
As long as it's not ginseng and deer antlers, the maids of the general's palace can also afford longan and lotus seeds.
"Thank you, miss, I'll get it right away." Chunyu went to Sheng happily.
Looking at Yan Hong standing next to her with her head lowered, her eyes were red. After all, he was only eleven years old, so it was normal for him to say the wrong thing. Xi Ning said: "Don't think too much, and pay more attention in the future. Stop before you speak, and don't spit it out without thinking about anything. Go eat the sweet soup, Xia He, take Yanhong to eat first."< br>
"Yes, miss!" Yan Hong choked up as she spoke.
Xia He looked at Yan Hong reproachfully, took Yan Hong's hand and went out.
Dongmei stood next to her and sighed slightly: "Yan Hong's mouth was open and she definitely offended the second lady. The lady didn't even beat her up a few times and show it to the second lady. She also asked her to eat some red date and longan soup. The lady is the most generous.”
After all, Yan Hong was killed and martyred for the sake of the general's mansion. It’s okay to feel some pain!
While eating the sweet soup, Xining filtered what happened just now and thought of something. Sip the last red date in your mouth. After eating the date meat, spit the date core into the shell dish next to it.
I keep Chunyu, Xiahe and Dongmei around me. Xiahe eats quickly, so I can exchange them for autumn leaves. Yan Hong deliberately prevented her from entering the house. Yan Hong should come in again tomorrow, with red eyes and a look of knowing she made a mistake. Even if the lady doesn't say anything, she might be upset.
Xining asked: "Dongmei, go find Qiuye and ask her to call Zhao Geng over."
Zhao Geng is the head of the guard, while Qiu Tian is the head of the secret guards. Zhao Geng is in charge of the public affairs, while Qiu Tian is in charge of the secret affairs. Generally speaking, two people either come together or Zhao Geng comes.
This time it was Zhao Geng who came over. After only Qiuye was left and the other maids had left, he saluted: "What can I do for you, Miss?"
"During this period, if the second young lady goes out of the house, keep a close eye on her. Come back and tell me who you meet and what happens." Xining instructed.
Zhao Geng rolled his eyes inadvertently, but his plain face had a pair of shrewd eyes: "The general has sent people to Jingxi Courtyard, does the lady want to know about the affairs of Jingxi Courtyard?"
< br>
"Oh?" Xining raised his eyebrows: "Okay."
Zhao Geng reached out and took out a booklet from the lapel of his cotton-padded coat: "This is from yesterday. Please take a look, Miss."
This time it was Xining's turn to be stunned. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, only for a moment. He motioned for Qiuye to bring it over.
Opening the palm-sized booklet, the conversation between Aunt Xu and Zhao Yingxue was written in small regular script. The handwriting is neat and tidy. You must know that this is a conversation, and you have to eavesdrop and write. You must be professional.
Xining asked: "Is it rewritten?"
Zhao Geng was slightly surprised: "It is indeed transcribed. During the interrogation, the writing was in fast characters. Only we can understand it, so we have to copy it again. Miss is really a knowledgeable person!"
Xining smiled and continued reading.
Now that he knew Aunt Xu's origins, he was afraid that Aunt Xu would notice something and sent professional spies to stay there. General Zhao was indeed not stupid.
