Chapter Thirty-One: Someone in the House

Ye Chunqiu returned to the Ye family with Ye Jing. As soon as he entered the door, the door said: "The Grand Master heard that the Grand Master Chunqiu came back today and said that he would let the Grand Master Chunqiu go to the Grand Master for dinner."

Ye Chunqiu knew that the old lady also valued her performance in this mansion examination, so she parted ways with Ye Jing and went to find the old man.

Old Lady Ye’s illness was cured and she was obviously in good spirits. Especially when the grandson of the eldest house went to Hedong to study, the eldest grandson of the second house was also very successful. He studied hard in the mansion every day and came here to accompany him when he had time. Originally, the old lady didn’t want to see Ye Chunqiu. After all, the grandparents and grandchildren still had gaps, but thinking about the words that County Magistrate Wang said last time, he suddenly had great expectations for Ye Chunqiu, so it would be better to meet him.

Ye Chenliang has come a long time ago. Ye Chenliang is much calmer than before, and the bruises on his face have also disappeared, making him more obedient in front of the old lady.

Ye Chunqiu came in, bowed to the old lady, and bowed to Ye Chenliang: "Hello, brother."

The old lady was happy: "I lost weight... I must be very hard to study in Hedong, but Hedong was once the place where Huang Jingshi studied when he was a teenager. It would be good to go, and he would be able to enjoy his literary talent."

I am no longer angry with the old lady Ye of the Huang family. The two families seem to have the intention to repair it. A few days ago, the Huang family also gave some gifts, which made the old lady Ye feel much better.

Ye Chenliang was only full of jealousy for Ye Chunqiu. Ye Chunqiu was able to study in Hedong. The son born by this big-footed woman really ruined that quiet place.

Ye Chenliang could almost predict that Ye Chunqiu was still the same slack, but why did he win the lead and why did he have so many excellent performances?

Without thinking too much, Ye Chenliang followed the old man's words and said, "Big Father, Chunqiu is becoming more and more sensible. I heard that he worked very hard in Hedong and was bound to win this mansion exam. I can't say that he will win another case leader."

Ye Chunqiu smiled in his heart. This elder brother was squeezing himself. Even though he won the case in a county examination, Fenghua County was not a place with a strong literary style. At least in recent decades, no county examination in Fenghua has become the first in the prefecture examination. Ye Chenliang said this on purpose, which was clearly a praising and killing him.

The old lady was very happy when she heard this, and kept stroking her beard and said with a smile: "If this is the case, then it will truly shine. Chen Liang must also work hard."

While eating, Ye Chenliang kept saying: "Big Father, I want to learn more from the Spring and Autumn Period. I hang my beams and thorn my thighs in the Spring and Autumn Period. I study hard."

Ye Chunqiu smiled and said, "Brother, I work harder than me, how can I compare to it?"

Humph, please give me a promise, please give me a promise, you can do whatever you want, you won’t lose a piece of my flesh anyway.

After only eating and drinking tea, the old lady encouraged her and asked them to go back. So Ye Chunqiu and Ye Chenliang bid farewell.

After leaving the old lady's courtyard, Ye Chenliang called Ye Chunqiu and said, "Chunqiu, Chunqiu, are you going tomorrow? My uncle sent a carriage and horse to take us to Ningbo Mansion tomorrow. Oh... I don't know if there is a location, so I have to ask you. It's best if you go with me and take care of you along the way."

Ye Chenliang's uncle worked in Ningbo Mansion. Although he was just a clerk who was not worth mentioning, he was said to be doing pretty well. When he heard that his nephew was going to conduct a mansion examination, he called someone to pick him up.

"Oh." Ye Chunqiu didn't know what arrangements his father would have. Although Ye Chenliang was hypocritical, there was no need to expose his naked show-off: "If the eldest brother has a place, it would be better to go with him."

Ye Chen was furious and said, "It would be great to go together. I have a lot of knowledge to ask you. You and I are brothers. You are now the head of the county case. I am also honored. A few days ago, **** wrote books to a few friends from other counties. They have been praising your knowledge. When I arrived in Ningbo Prefecture, I introduced a few friends to you to know."

Ye Chenliang suddenly changed his attitude. If Ye Chunqiu was really only eleven or eleven years old, he would probably have been fooled by him. But Ye Chunqiu was a human being for two lifetimes. You dare to show off your skills and go to the scene.

Anyway, he would do whatever he said, and Ye Chunqiu agreed happily: "It's great."

Seeing Ye Chunqiu saying goodbye and leaving, Ye Chenliang looked at his cousin who was only tall with his shoulders, and a trace of coldness flashed through his eyes.

Hum... It depends on when your luck will reach!

The next morning, Ye Jing came and called out: "Chunqiu, Chunqiu, get up quickly, I'm going to the capital city, and I'm asking you to go there quickly in the second house."

Ye Chunqiu got up in a daze and heard the second room call him to leave. He didn't expect that Ye Chenliang was indeed "true to speak" and really called him to go with him.

However, what tricks does this cousin who always wants to dig a hole for him are playing with?

Well, let's get up first.

Ye Chunqiu was washing and dressing, and Ye Jing was waiting outside. He had prepared his luggage for him long ago. Ye San also arrived in time. Since he was going to the palace for an examination, the journey was much further than going to the county, and Ye San could take care of him along the way.

Before leaving, Ye Jing kept instructing, saying, "There are some scattered money in your purse. You usually spend money, and you can use it for emergency treatment. Ye San also hides some money. He is taking care of your daily life. When it is absolutely necessary, if you encounter something difficult, say hello to your cousin. They can always find a way to deal with it properly. People are outside, but don't cause trouble. Don't have a quarrel with others. There is not Fenghua, and many things are beyond the reach of the family. Do you know? It's getting late. I originally wanted to ask Ye Hu to drive a car to see you off for him, but since Chen Liang asked you to go with you, it's better for you to accompany Liangchen. Go quickly."

Ye Chunqiu hurried to the middle gate with Ye San. There were indeed two large cars outside. The car in front was so decorative, but the one in the back was terrible. There was not even a carport. There were bags of grain piled up on it, and the words "The huge Ningbo Tongju Hall" were on the linen.

Or the official car...

Ye Chunqiu was so amused that he heard the movement. The car in front had already opened the curtain and revealed Ye Chen's harmless face. He said in surprise: "Chunqiu, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Look, my uncle's car arrived last night. Ningbo Mansion was about to come here to collect some food. My uncle asked someone to transfer two official cars, but it was a pity..." He looked regretful: "There are only two cars. I want to pile up books and luggage for this car, and I have to read books in the car. I am afraid I can't tolerate you. You can take the car behind you."

Ye Chunqiu was immediately annoyed.

Can this car be taken in the car behind? You would rather put your luggage than let me sit. It would be fine if you went to the county, but now you are going to Ningbo, and you have to take a few days to go, and you will be in the sun and rain all the way, and there is no place to shelter from the wind and rain. Could it be that I would curl up in the felt cloth?

Ye Chenliang saw Ye Chunqiu's face pulling down, but he kept a tight smile in his heart.

He was full of regret for Ye Chunqiu: "Chunqiu, you are wronged first. If it rains halfway, I will let you hide in the rain in my car. Look, this is an official car, a carriage and horse from the Ningbo Tongju Hall. Where can ordinary people sit? The county master's sedan is not so comfortable. Let's go quickly. If you don't leave, you will not be able to settle in Fenghua County for one night before."

Ye Chunqiu didn't believe that if it really rained halfway, Ye Chenliang would let him get into his car to hide from the rain. He had already seen this elder brother's little treacherous heart. Ye Chunqiu curled his lips and said, "Forget it, brother, go first, I'll ask Ye Hu to give it away."

Ye Chenliang smiled: "Ah... Chunqiu won't go with me, but unfortunately Ye Hu left the house early in the morning. My mother asked him to drive a car to Linxian to buy things and will come back tomorrow night. At that time, even if Chunqiu is about to set off, it is too late. Chunqiu, we are going to Ningbo Prefecture to try it, not to enjoy the blessings, but just let you only last a few days. Only after suffering the hardships can you become the best. God will give great responsibilities to this person... He will definitely show his will..."
