Concubine Mei was disheartened by Ye Jin's words.
Seeing that Ye Qingweng was very kind to her, she did not feel flattered.
Even when Ye Qingweng's words came out, her heart still thumped.
She looked at Ye Qingweng with some hesitation.
She knew very well what Ye Shaohua was like. She did not like to read since she was a child. Although her nature was revealed when she went to another village, and she even hired a teacher.
But Concubine Mei also knew that Ye Shaohua was still playful inside. The number of words she had read in the past three years could be counted on one hand.
She hired a teacher, but it was just a decoration in the house.
Young Master Ye Shaoming had been very talented in reading since he was a child. He also had the Tanhua Master as his master. Concubine Mei knew that Ye Shaoming worked hard when he was still in the Ye family.
Now that Ye Shaoming was in the top nine, the Ye family had such a big lineup …
Ye Shaohua actually relied on Master Top Scorer?!
When she heard this, Concubine Mei's first reaction was that it was too unreal.
Only Ye Shaohua ran out every day, or walked the dog …
How could he get the first place?
Was the imperial examination so easy now?
"Mother, this is a big happy event for the Ye family! This is only the provincial examination, and Lord Li praised Shaohua. "Ye Qingweng had not encountered such a happy event for several years, and the smile on his face never stopped." He said that my son is amazing, and that it is not impossible for him to get into the top three of the court examination! "
When the old lady heard that the young master of the Ye family got the top scorer, she thought for a long time.
Then she remembered Ye Shaohua's name.
"You mean the fourth young master?" The old lady was stunned for a long time.
Ye Qingweng nodded. "Yes, I think that the high monk of Hu Guo Temple misunderstood Shaohua's fate. If he was really lucky, how could he get the first place? Concubine Mei's courtyard has been empty for a long time. The pear garden that was renovated a few days ago is not bad. "
The Ye family had a top scorer, and this was indeed a happy event.
The old lady was naturally very happy to see that the concubine's grandson was promising.
It seemed that the matter of sending Mei Yiniang and Ye Shaohua to Jiangnan was not what she proposed before.
Madam Ye maintained a smile on her face as she sat where she was, but her hands, which were covered in nail polish, were already clenched into her palms. Listening to the arrangements made by Madam Ye and Lord Ye, her lowered eyes gradually darkened.
Ye Jin, who was still standing on the side, looked a little stunned.
She looked mournfully at Concubine Mei, but Concubine Mei didn't look at her from beginning to end.
**
Because Ye Shaohua had won the exam, Ye Qingweng specially held a family banquet to celebrate the fact that both young masters had passed the exam.
All the branches of the family had come.
There were two tables in the house.
"Meimei, these are the Four Treasures of the Study that I asked someone to bring back from the south this year," Ye shi's face no longer had the sharpness from before. Instead, she very amiably handed a set of the Four Treasures of the Study to Mei Yiniang, "I hope that you will soar to the sky in the Spring Examination next year."
Concubine Mei took the Four Treasures of the Study and looked at them. Then, she asked Liu 'er to accept them.
"Thank you for your kindness, Madam."
Good Four Treasures of the Study were indeed rare these days. The waterways in the south had always been difficult to travel.
Ye shi could ask someone to buy these things because she had an uncle who did business in the family. Because of this, Ye shi's branch of life was richer than the rest of the people in the fu.
This was also the reason why Ye Jin was determined to please the old madam and Ye shi.
Ye Jin sat at a place far away from the two. When she saw Concubine Mei, she frowned and said faintly. She couldn't help but say, "Concubine Mei, Niang specially asked a merchant to bring these back from the south. Usually, only the relatives of the emperor can use them."
"These things are so precious?" Concubine Mei was surprised.
This year, she also saw some of Ye Shaohua's friends bring these things to Ye Shaohua every other day. It was said that they were all brought from the south, but Ye Shaohua rarely used them.
So, Concubine Mei didn't take it seriously.
Now that she heard Ye Jin say this, she was a little surprised. So the things that she casually piled up in the storeroom were so precious?
Ye shi looked at Concubine Mei's ignorant look and couldn't help but sneer.
Ye Qingweng didn't care about the twists and turns between women. He just asked Concubine Mei, "Why hasn't Shaohua come back yet? Is he still revising at home? Shaoming has come out to eat. Should we send someone to find him? "
Concubine Mei thought that Ye Shaohua might be drinking with someone at this moment, so she didn't say it out loud.
At this moment, the servants outside came back.
"Master, the fourth young master is back." The servant who answered looked like he wanted to say something but stopped.
Ye Qingweng and the others didn't see it.
Until a gorgeous young man in a white robe came in.
It was already a little dark now, and there were several lanterns lit in the room.
Under the light and shadow, the young man was gorgeous and unparalleled. A pair of beautiful eyes slightly narrowed with some carelessness.
In an instant, the entire room was set off in splendor.
He also held a birdcage in his hand, and there was a brightly colored bird in the cage.
At a glance, he looked like a cynical noble young master who played games in the world.
How did he look like a bastard who was sent to another manor?
The servant on the side secretly glanced at the smooth profile. The third young lady of the Ye family had always been famous for her beauty and talent, which attracted the praise of many noble young masters in the outside world. But really … she was not as good-looking as this fourth young master.
The old lady and Ye Qingweng were originally full of smiles, but when they saw Ye Shaohua carrying a birdcage, they frowned slightly.
"Concubine, my friend just got this parrot. I heard it is very understanding, so I specially asked for it to relieve your boredom." Ye Shaohua handed the birdcage to Concubine Mei. "Tomorrow I'll go out again to see what fun things there are."
"Wait," Ye Qingweng heard something was wrong. "You go out to play all day?"
Ye Shaohua sat next to Concubine Mei and looked sideways. "Yes, father, is there a problem?"
