In the house, Qingyun doesn't want to make a fuss to everyone, in case the shoes involve a personal affair, not everyone has the good luck of Chunliu.

She looked at the shoes carefully again, lost her preconceived notions, and suddenly said, "Yes, it must not be the princess's." You see, although the style is imitated, this pattern is hand-sewn by beginners, the stitches are not even, and the velvet is not good. ”

Xu Yu said: "It's not Jin Lian, it's Tianzu, no one has sent any stinky shoes for many years?" ”

"You're the smelly shoe." Qingyun said angrily, but he also agreed with this, the reason why embroidered shoes were popular in ancient times as a watch, it was nothing more than because of the small three inches, which also means that you can do shameful things, and now almost no one in Xufu binds her feet, and it is better to send shoes than to send sachets.

"Whose is it?" Qingyun muttered to herself, and suddenly woke up: "Oh, how did I forget, Miss Yunning was here yesterday to play with Xiaocui, and said that Xiaocui's needlework is not good at learning." Xiaocui said: "I just don't know how to pay attention to it." The third lady asked her, 'When you were studying, did you ever worship the girl from the pit mountain?'

Xiao Cui said: "In the past, when my mother taught me needlework, she also said that there is a pit mountain girl who lives on the urine pit, and she must make a shoe to honor her and wear it, so that she can do a good needlework." Even the girl said so, which shows that she really pays attention to this. ’

The third lady said, 'Did you only make one?' No wonder you can't do good craft in your life. Xiao Cui asked, "When the girl said this, did she want two?" The third lady smiled and said, "That's natural, who do you see wearing only one shoe?" Your pit mountain girl is not a one-legged girl, hurry up and make up one tomorrow to honor her, and you will be able to do a good job of needlework in the future. ’

Illustrious! This was originally a joke of the third lady, and I also heard it funny at the time, it seems that Xiaocui took it seriously and made one on purpose. ”

"Haha!" Xu Yu smiled: "But why did she leave it at the door?" ”

Qingyun smiled: "Probably there are no men in the garden, and there are no urine pits. Forget about your urgency to urinate the other day. Drowning in a corner in the depths of the green clouds, that's why she came there. ”

Xu Yu laughed more and more, Qingyun also felt funny, the two of them laughed for a long time, Xu Yu said: "I'm still a little suspicious, you Ming'er quietly asked Xiaocui to see if it was her." Don't be like Chunliu again, making trouble. ”

"Good!" Qingyun agreed, hid his shoes, and went to bathe and sleep. Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, the maids got up early to serve Xu Yu and put on their dresses, and they first went to the ancestral hall of Xufu to incense their ancestors, kowtowed, and went to their mother Mu Ningxue to say goodbye, and kowtowed three times in a regular manner, thanking their mothers for their nurturing grace! and then thanked Zhiqing and others one by one for being mothers.

I also worshiped my grandparents and my father and brothers, went to the East Mansion and Xifu to worship the elders, and worshiped the elderly master and others. All morning.

Sweating profusely, he came back and changed his dress, and Yingchun came in and said, "The officials and masters in the house have given gifts, and the list is here." ”

Xu Yu took it and looked at it. I picked up a few things that were elegant and worthless, and returned the rest, and asked Yingchun to return the gift according to the rules.

As soon as Yingchun left, Lan Chun came in and said, "The errand people outside and the housekeepers of the whole house." Wait in the second hall and kowtow. ”

Xu Yu shook his head again and again and said, "Forget it, my father knows about it, and I have to be angry again." ”

"Hee-hee!" Lan Chun smiled and turned around and went out.

After a while, the flower farmer came in. said: "The second son and the third son of the Yang Mansion are here, please let the second master go." ”

Xu Yu frowned and said: "Those two nerds are tired of it again, you go and ask Master Shi to accompany you for a while, and I will come out immediately." ”

The flower farmer agreed, went out of the garden to the east study hall, and asked Master Shi to accompany the guests.

Master Shi changed into a public uniform and asked the scholar to come out with his cigarette pouch, thinking all the way, "I heard that Yang Shiqi's eldest son has a chance, and the remaining two are a little stupid. ”

Now Yang Shiqi is hot in the imperial court, Yang Shiqi himself is a generation master, impeccable in life, only his sons are not angry, fortunately, Yang Ji, who has pit his father in history, has turned back, the second son and the third son are mediocre, and history has changed.

When he came to the door of the West Flower Hall, Master Shi saw many butlers of the Yang Mansion standing with their chests and bellies, and ignored him when he came in.

"Master Shi is here." A scholar shouted.

Master Shi strode in, and the brothers Yang Yong and Yang Yu both greeted him, and the two sides saluted. Yang Yong asked about the name and origin of Master Shi, Master Shi said, and looked at the Yang family brothers, all wearing carved silk clothes and official hats, among which Yang Yong is a three-grade Sanxun service, and Yang Yu is a five-grade costume.

When the Yang brothers saw that the master was just dressed in an ordinary official uniform, they didn't take him seriously. Master Shi invited the two to sit down, and the brothers in their twenties were not humble and sat down in a big way.

Yang Yong picked up the tea and asked, "Brother Yu is in the house?" ”

Master Shi bowed slightly. said: "In the mansion, you should go to the ancestral hall at this time, so the two of you are wronged to sit for a while." ”

Yang Yong asked again: "How many years has the master been in the mansion?" ”

"I only entered the house in June this year." Master Shi said with a smile.

Yang Yu looked east and west and asked, "Master Xia is not in the mansion, why don't you see anyone?" ”

Master Shi said: "Mr. Xia resigned and went out a few days ago. ”

"Gone?" Yang hurriedly asked, "Do you know, for what?" ”

Master Shi naturally couldn't say that Master Xia was doing tricks on the account, greedy for more than eighty taels of silver, and had no face to stay in Xu's Mansion after the incident, so he took the initiative to say goodbye and leave, saying: "It's not particular, it's just another job." ”

"Is there anything higher than the Xu family? Unusual. Yang Yong sneered, "Where did Master sit in the hall before?" Let me tell you, you don't need to stammer, I don't need to stammer, he rarely recommends literati, but the old lady's side you put more effort into it, and there are seven or eight people who have recommended them to be officials over the years, and everyone wants to enter the Xu family. If my brother hadn't been rewarded by the saints, he would have come over to bring tea and water to the old lady, my father and Uncle Xu are the same, and they never recommend their own people. ”

"Lord Yang's high style and bright festival have always been admirable." Master Shi said.

"What is there to admire." Yang Yong grinned, "My father never taught our brother knowledge, saying that he didn't have time, otherwise my brother would have been a high school jinshi a long time ago." Of course, the saint knows that my brother is a talent. Master, what is your fame? Show talent or lift people? ”

Seeing that the master smiled and was silent, Yang Yong said: "Looking at your age, you are probably a showman, right?" Otherwise, why bother to be a master. Let me tell you, this Jinling is as strong as a forest, and it is too difficult to lift people in the exam. ”

Yang Yu sat close to Master Shi, bored and begged for someone's fan to see, Master Shi handed it to him, Yang Yu opened it with a grin, and was stunned at first glance, the words on it were actually written by the teacher, the last paragraph was called Brother Nian, and he immediately smacked his lips, squeezed his eyebrows and handed it to Yang Yong, and said: "Isn't this written by our husband?" ”

Yang Yong, who was teaching the master, stopped his mouth, and also felt weird, and asked in a respectful tone: "Mr. dare to be Xie Yuangong last year?" ”

Master Shi said: "Yes! ”

Yang Yu also asked, "So did Mr. dare to congratulate him this year?" ”

Master Shi said slowly: "It was a fluke last year. ”

Yang Yong was suddenly in awe and asked, "I think it's also high school?" ”

"It's just a fluke." Master Shi smiled, "Brother's ranking is already low, it's third." ”

When the brothers of the Yang family heard this, they hurriedly stood up and said respectfully: "Oh, disrespectful!" ”

Looking at their condescending appearances, Master Shi was secretly amused, he was indeed the third place on last year's gold list. Named Shi Shi, he was named Hanlin, and he watched politics in Hanlin Academy for half a year, and he didn't like the noble life of copying and writing every day, and he came to Xu Mansion to be the chief master after being recommended by the brothers' husbands, waiting for the officials to let him go to the local office.

For a while, the Yang brothers put away their arrogance and asked for advice with the gift of a disciple, and the whole person was not awkward. Just outside, he said, "The second young master is here." ”

The people in the house stood up and saw Xu Yu wearing a purple and gold crown and entering the house in civilian clothes, and congratulated each other.

Xu Yu invited the three of them to sit down, thanked them again, and said: "The younger brother really doesn't dare to be the driver of the two Laos." Is Your Excellency in the house? ”

Yang Yong said: "The family went north with the holy car, and my brother went to Shandong, so my wife ordered my brother to come over to congratulate him." ”

Xu Yu saw that both of his brothers were wearing official uniforms, especially Yang Yong, who was actually a third grade, guessed that the saint specially rewarded Yang Shiqi, and asked with a deliberate smile: "When was my brother promoted?" ”

Yang Yong saw him ask, and said happily: "My fame is rewarded by the saints. You don't know, I am a candidate for the prefect of the county, and a few adults have guaranteed a pending class for the prefect. Originally, my brother wanted to take the township test tomorrow, and it was not uncommon to be famous. Who knows that you will definitely protect this for your brother, saying that according to my talent, I am very promising in my career, and I will open a polymath macro vocabulary next year, and then I will keep a copy, and when the exam comes out, it is not to give the same Jinshi background, or to be appointed to the Hanlin Academy, is it not more comfortable than going to the field to be an official? This year, the Holy Lord asked me a few words of knowledge, and I think it's good! gave me a glass of wine on the spot, and gave me a third-grade official rank, hehe. ”

Yang Yong was very proud and full of energy, but Yang Yu squinted his eyes and said nothing, as if he couldn't get angry.

Xu Yu was secretly amused when he heard it, it turned out that with Yang's stupidity, who could let him be an official? And because of the thought in Yang Shiqi's face, from the emperor to the ministers, they all made a joke, let him do a dispensable official position in the capital, receive a salary, and take care of the officials' children to eat the emperor's food, this kind of thing is not uncommon in any dynasty.

But Yang didn't know what he was, he really thought that he was talented, and he was able to be promoted quickly, and said: "Like your brother, why don't you do the same?" Moreover, there is a lord, who is not faster than his brother. ”

Xu Yu said with a smile: "Now when it comes to being a scholar, how many people are there for the sake of the world?" It's nothing more than a few dollars, I'm not rare, if I talk about some officials nowadays, it's like seeing a pile of copper smell, and I don't know what it is. ”

"Brother, that's too much." Yang Yong said with a smile: "According to this, is it true that the Honorable Master and the Honored Lord are also a bunch of copper stench?" ”

Master Shi was stunned, he was really a fool in the dark way, he dared to say this? (To be continued......)
