Old Madam looked at Ye Shaohua, "You've never liked to study since you were young. It's okay to go out and fool around. Now that you've passed the Top Scorer exam, you don't need to work hard. Otherwise, you won't be so lucky next time. Get rid of those bad habits you had in the past. "
Her tone was heavy.
She was obviously dissatisfied with Ye Shaohua's playfulness.
Ye Shi and a few others covered their mouths and laughed.
Ye Shaoming was afraid when he heard that Ye Shaohua had gotten the first place. He didn't expect him to have such a character.
He smiled at Ye Shaohua, "Si Di really has the bearing of a dragon and phoenix, not a thing of the pond."
Although his tone was warm, there was a hint of disdain in his eyes. In a corner that others couldn't see, there was a hint of coldness and mockery.
This year's imperial examinations were also a test of luck. Regardless of one's talent, if one's essay was to the examiner's liking and the emperor's heart, even if one's talent was not as good as others, one could still get a higher rank than others.
But in the later imperial examinations, one's rank would be even worse because the content of the examination was not the same.
Ye Shaoming was afraid of Ye Shaohua. Seeing that Ye Shaohua didn't care, he relaxed.
He thought that Ye Shaohua was probably that kind of person.
No wonder the Ye family thought so.
After all, even Mei Yiniang had some doubts.
Otherwise, why would the imperial examinations be difficult? Nowadays, which scholar didn't study hard? They might not be able to pass the exam even after ten years.
Ye Shaohua would go out for a walk when she had nothing to do. Otherwise, she would drink with her friends and play with the birds. It would be amazing if she could get a rank.
How could people not be suspicious?
During the meal, everyone had different expressions.
Originally, the second and third households had separated themselves from the Ye residence. When they heard that Ye Shaohua had gotten the first place, they wanted to curry favor with her.
Now that they saw Ye Shaohua like this, their hopes were extinguished. Let's wait and see.
Was the other party doing it on purpose for Ye Shi to see, or was it really her nature?
Now they could tell.
After all … Ye Shaohua did not look like a layman when she played with the birds …
After the meal, Chun 'er followed Ye Jin.
"Third Miss, should we go to the pear garden to see Fourth Master and Mei Yiniang?" Chun 'er used to serve Mei Yiniang.
It was just that she understood the situation.
After Concubine Mei and Ye Shaohua were sent to Bie Zhuang, she did not leave with Concubine Mei and the others like Liu'er. Instead, she found Ye Jin overnight and wanted to stay with Ye Jin.
After all, Ye Jin had some influence with Madam Dowager.
She did not ask Madam Dowager to let Concubine Mei and the others stay. She only asked for a maid.
Madam Dowager agreed to it.
Originally, Chun 'er and Ye Jin both thought that Concubine Mei was timid and did not know how to use her beauty to seek benefits for herself. The Fourth Young Master was also a coward. The mother and son would have no future in the future. Leaving them was the best choice.
Who knew that Ye Shaohua would amaze the world with a single brilliant feat.
Passing the test of understanding yuan!
Eldest Young Master Ye Shaoming had taken the exam twice, from the age of twelve to the age of eighteen.
An eighteen year old Juren was already a promising young man.
After all, most of the officials who passed the provincial examinations were either in their twenties or in their thirties or forties who had been taking the imperial examinations for decades.
That was why the Ye family was so happy that Ye Shaoming became a Nine-ranked Roll Nine at the age of 18.
But how old was the Fourth Young Master?
Fourteen years old!
He was four years younger than the Eldest Young Master. Not only did he pass the imperial examinations, he even got the first place in the imperial examinations!
"Third Miss, do you think Concubine Mei will be unhappy?" Chun 'er thought of what Third Miss had said to Concubine Mei before the fire came. Worry flashed between her brows, "Will she not want to see you?"
Ye Jin felt like she was living in a dream ever since her cowardly Fourth Brother passed the imperial examinations.
Now that she heard Chun 'er's words, she finally came to her senses, "Go to Pear Garden? No, I can't go now. Now is the opportunity to show off to Di Mother. The more it is like this, the more I need to draw a line with Concubine Mei. In the future, if Concubine Mei or Fourth Brother come to find me, you must remember to stay away from them. My eldest brother is the study companion of the Third Prince. Not to mention, Di Mother's uncle is a famous merchant in Jiangnan. He is very rich. "
"But Fourth Young Master …" Chun 'er thought of the fourteen-year-old Top Scorer.
"Him? Look at him today, "Ye Jin was very disdainful," Didn't you hear what Concubine Mei said? Every day, he either walks the dog or plays with the bird, or goes out to drink with others. How can he compare with Eldest Brother? You see, next year's Spring Examinations, you will know his background. "
Although what she said was somewhat reasonable.
But after all, Fourth Young Master was Third Miss's biological younger brother. He was more reliable than Furen.
Chun 'er wanted to persuade Ye Jin, but looking at Ye Jin's appearance, she couldn't help but swallow the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
After Ye Shaohua returned to the Ye family, she did not restrain herself. She still wanted to play and go out.
"Mother, take these," Ye Shaohua handed a stack of banknotes to Concubine Mei, "When you arrive at the Ye mansion, don't feel wronged. If there's anything you want to eat, if the kitchen doesn't have it, send someone out to buy it."
"Where are you going?" Concubine Mei was no longer surprised by Ye Shaohua's actions. She did not take the banknotes, but only narrowed her eyes.
Ye Shaohua opened her folding fan with a "shua" sound, "No, Father and Eldest Brother said that they want to take me out to see the world."
"That's good. Don't cause trouble." Concubine Mei looked at her neat movements. Although it was hard to tell whether she was a man or a woman, no one would dare to believe that she was not a playboy.
She exhorted, and then sent Ye Shaohua out the door.
As soon as Ye Shaohua left, the Old Lady sent someone to pick up Concubine Mei.
When Concubine Mei arrived, she found that her sisters-in-law were all there. Not only was there Ye shi, but there were also sisters-in-law from the second and third households. Speaking of which, she was the only yiniang among them.
"How is Ming-ge 'er's studies recently? I heard from Master that he recently wrote a policy that won Master Tan Hua's heart. "The Old Lady asked Ye shi.
