After asking a few more questions, he suddenly saw a middle-aged man reading eight-legged essay in the corner. He narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Why is there another person?"
"Housekeeper, that's the teacher that concubine Mei found for the fourth young master. The fourth young master said he's going to take the imperial examination." Liu 'er answered obediently.
Hearing Liu 'er's words, the housekeeper smiled faintly. "Is that so? Don't let the fourth young master down."
But before leaving, the housekeeper glanced at the appearance of the villa and was a little surprised.
He knew this villa. It had been in disrepair for a long time. There was no Ye family's land deed here. It had long become an abandoned house.
Why did it look new today?
Especially the dog that Liu 'er fed.
The housekeeper always felt it was familiar.
A few days ago, a curly-haired dog was presented as a tribute from Persia. It cost thousands of silver taels. The eldest miss always wanted to raise one, but she couldn't. The main reason was that the Ye family couldn't spend thousands of silver taels to buy a dog.
Thinking of this, the housekeeper withdrew his gaze. It shouldn't be a curly-haired dog.
The fourth young master even had a problem eating now. How could he have money to buy such an expensive dog?
Housekeeper Ye didn't know that after he left.
Liu 'er, who was very afraid of him, raised her head. There was no fear on her face.
"Old Wang, come here," Liu 'er picked up Old Wang. "Let's go, sister will take you to find concubine."
On this side, housekeeper Ye had returned to Ye Mansion.
"How is it?" Ye Shi waved her hand to let the servants leave and asked housekeeper Ye.
Housekeeper Ye replied respectfully, "I didn't see the fourth young master. He went out to drink with his friends. But concubine Mei found a xiucai as a teacher for the fourth young master to take the imperial examination. But the fourth young master obviously didn't like it. He didn't study hard at all. "
"This concubine Mei still doesn't give up," Ye Shi didn't get angry. Instead, she just wanted to laugh. "Can her son take the imperial examination? It's really daydreaming. "
Ye Shi knew Ye Shaohua's virtue.
So when she heard that concubine Mei found a teacher for Ye Shaohua, she didn't care at all.
After listening to a few words, she let the housekeeper leave.
Now her heart was on her son.
Another two years later.
The triennial provincial examination finally began.
"What? Are you really going to participate in the provincial examination? " Concubine Mei, who was holding Old Wang, was shocked when she saw Ye Shaohua and Liu 'er preparing to take the provincial examination.
For the past three years, she had watched as Ye Shaohua left Xiucai at the manor and went out on her own. She had basically never seen her read any books.
However, Concubine Mei also knew that her daughter was really capable.
At first, she was worried about Ye Shaohua.
Knowing that once, when Ye Shaohua jumped down from the roof at will and gave her two hundred silver notes, concubine Mei knew that Ye Shaohua had a secret that she didn't know.
Concubine Mei had been sleeping lightly for the past few years.
Occasionally, when she wakes up at night, she can see a few mysterious figures coming to find Ye Shaohua.
She pretended not to see it.
But now that she heard that Ye Shaohua was going to the provincial examination, she hesitated to speak.
Ye Shaohua asked Liu'er to carry her backpack. Hearing Mei Concubine's words, she patted Mei Concubine's shoulder. Although she was only 14 years old, Mei Concubine was petite. She was already much taller than Mei Concubine.
"Aunt, I'm leaving."
Mei Concubine Mei looked at Ye Shaohua's white face. Although she was dressed in men's clothes, it couldn't hide her elegance.
She had begun to regret it. If it weren't for her, her daughter would have reached the age of marriage now.
"Well, mother will wait for you." Mei Concubine Mei touched her head and sent her to the front of the street.
The place of the provincial examination was not far. It would take less than an hour by carriage. It would only take three days.
Liu'er sat in the carriage and waited. Seeing the other candidates coming out one by one, they all looked haggard and tired. She couldn't help but prepare a wool cloak and put it on her young master when he came out.
However, when Ye Shaohua came out, Liu'er found that she didn't look like the other candidates at all.
This made Liu'er a little strange, but she still put the wool cloak on Ye Shaohua.
"Don't go back to see mother," Ye Shaohua poked her head out from inside. "Go to Chang Chun Lou first."
Liu'er knew Chang Chun Lou. It was the first restaurant in the capital. She heard that there were some chain stores.
Even Liu'er knew the origin of this restaurant, which showed the reputation of this restaurant.
Seeing that Ye Shaohua wanted to go there, Liu'er only thought that she was greedy.
When they arrived at the door of Chang Chun Lou, Ye Shaohua didn't go down, which made Liu'er feel strange.
"Fourth young master." The boss of Chang Chun Lou had been waiting on the side. When Ye Shaohua arrived, he handed her a wooden box.
Ye Shaohua raised her chin to Liu'er and let her take it.
Liu'er took it with a heart full of doubts.
**
Half a month later, the results of the provincial examination were finally released.
Ye Shaoming was four years older than Ye Shaohua. He was already eighteen. If he hadn't been so focused on the examination, he would have been married long ago.
Ye Qingweng sped up his political affairs in the Supreme Court.
Thinking that today was the day the results were released, he wanted to hurry back to see if Ye Shaoming had passed the provincial examination.
He didn't expect that as soon as he walked out of the Supreme Court.
He saw Lord Li, who used to ignore him, walking towards him with a smile. "Lord Ye is so lucky to have such a talented son."
Lord Li's official position was higher than his, and he wasn't in the same camp.
But he was the chief examiner this time …
Now he took the initiative to talk to him and even praised him for having a good son.
