Reborn to be married, the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion is so sweet
Chapter 96 Investigating Ye Zexian
Lin Wan followed Li Weining into the box she had just come out of. As soon as she entered, she saw a lady sitting on a chair in front of the window. She was wearing a royal blue brocade dress and had only two jade hairpins on her head.
She looked to be about the same age as Xiao, with a ruddy complexion, and looked to be in good health. She was originally looking out the window, but as soon as Lin Wan came in, she turned her head to look at her, showing that she was very sensitive.
Lin Wan thought of the Li Suining sisters, who seemed to have a similar temperament to this lady. At first glance, they were the daughters of generals, without the reserved feeling of the daughters of civil servants.
"I am Lin from the Yongning Marquisate, greeting Aunt Li." Lin Wan bowed slightly.
Regardless of their status, Lin Wan and Li Suining have a good relationship and call each other sisters. When facing their mother, Lin Wan greets her as a junior.
While Lin Wan was looking at her, the woman was also looking at her.
Lin Wan was wearing a water blue dress and a few gold and sapphire hairpins on her head. She was simple and had no other unnecessary accessories. Her face was fair and rosy, and her big almond eyes were sparkling. She was obviously a person with an open mind.
"Oh, I don't deserve it. Come in and sit down!" Mrs. Li walked forward with a smile and took Lin Wan's hand to sit next to her.
Li Suining smiled at Lin Wan and said, "Sister Lin, you don't have to be so polite. We are being presumptuous today and just asked you to come over here. My mother is very easy to get along with. We sisters have always mentioned you in front of her, and she wanted to meet you, so today..."
Seeing her embarrassed look, Lin Wan immediately replied, "Sister, you are worrying too much. I should have been the one to greet my aunt."
Mrs. Li looked at her generous appearance and felt that Lin Wan was particularly pleasing to her eyes.
"Okay, I asked Suining to send someone to invite the young lady over. My maiden name is Xu, so if you don't mind, just call me Aunt Xu. I'm a straightforward person, so don't mind! I felt very close to you the moment I saw you, no wonder the two sisters praised you in front of me every day, it's really a blessing for our family to have you!"
"Aunt Xu, you can just call me Wan'er." Lin Wan said with a smile, "Sister Li and my younger sister and I hit it off right away. This is our fate."
"Yes, yes, it's fate!" Xu clapped her hands and laughed.
"Sui Ning told me that you are a very capable housekeeper. She didn't know anything at first, so she was very grateful for your help." Xu looked at Lin Wan with some gratitude, "And what happened to Wei Ning before, I didn't think it through properly, I didn't know how to judge people, and I almost hurt her, and it's also thanks to your reminder! Good girl, we in the General's Mansion are all grateful to you!"
As she spoke, she took off a jade bracelet from her hand and put it on Lin Wan's hand. Without waiting for her to refuse, she said, "Wan'er, I am worthy of your call of aunt. This bracelet is an heirloom from our general's mansion. I give it to you. Don't be polite to me. They are my only two daughters. If you help them, you are helping our general's mansion and doing me a huge favor!"
"This is too expensive, Aunt Xu. I can't accept it."
Seeing that Lin Wan refused to accept it, Li Weining smiled and advised: "Hey, Sister Wan, just keep it. Otherwise, it's just this one bracelet, and my mother is afraid that my sister and I will fight over it!"
Li Suining smiled and patted her, "Nonsense!"
Li Weining smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt at all."
Then he winked at Lin Wan, implying that she should speak more for him later!
Seeing her funny look, Lin Wan couldn't help but chuckle, so she didn't refuse, "Thank you, Aunt Xu!"
"Oh! That's how it should be. I like your openness!" Xu laughed happily.
After saying this, Xu looked out the window again. Lin Wan followed her gaze and saw her own Moxiangzhai.
After the results were announced, the street was always bustling with people full of joy. Many people gathered on the street to congratulate each other, buy study treasures as gifts, and go to Wenyuan Pavilion to celebrate together, drink and chat.
Many of them even colluded with each other, because after passing the imperial examination, no matter what the palace examination results were, they would have to serve as officials in the court. And the officials in the court were also divided into various factions.
Apart from the simplest distinction between civil and military officials, there are also many civil officials who are disciples of important officials in the court and are divided into factions.
Therefore, every time the results of the spring imperial examination were announced, it was a good opportunity for the officials to win over new people and expand their own factions.
At this time, at the entrance of Moxiangzhai, there were several servants dressed in uniform, following two students in plain clothes, and they were inviting Ye Zexian to attend the banquet together.
"Mr. Ye, my master has specially prepared a banquet at home and invites you, Mr. Wang, and Mr. Liu to join us." A gray-clothed servant in the lead said to Ye Zexian with a smile.
Two students with rosy faces beside him also advised: "Brother Ye, Lord Li is so kind, let's go together!"
"Yes, yes, Brother Ye's ranking is better than ours, and he will definitely have a bright future. Lord Li cherishes talents the most, and specially invited us to go, let's go together!"
As he said that, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull Ye Zexian away, but Ye Zexian dodged sideways and simply refused. "I'm not going. I still have work to do in the store."
"Hey, you've passed the exam, why are you still doing this hard labor? It's ruining your status!"
"That's right. We have known each other for a while, and we will serve together in the court in the future. Don't always be so aloof!"
"Brother Liu is right! We all passed the exam in the same year, so we should support each other in the future. Brother Ye, this is not good!"
Ye Zexian listened to the two people's words with an indifferent expression, and said in a cold voice: "Since we have known each other for a while, I would also like to advise you two brothers that after decades of hard work, you should learn to cherish your reputation."
He glanced at the servant beside him and snorted, "As the saying goes, if someone is too nice to you, he is either a traitor or a thief. We were all born in poor families, so we shouldn't be greedy for enjoyment. The benefits that people give to us for no reason must have a purpose. Don't be fooled!"
When the servants heard this, their faces turned dark, but considering Ye Zexian's identity, they could only suppress their anger for the time being.
However, the two students' smiles suddenly turned cold when they looked at Ye Zexian.
"You! What are you saying! Are you cursing us?!"
"Forget it, forget it. He has a noble character. Let's just stay away from him." The scholar named Liu pulled his companion and said, "Let's go together."
"That's it, humph, give him face!"
As they spoke, the two of them got on a carriage nearby and whipped off.
Ye Zexian stood there, watching the carriage going away, shook his head, and turned back into Moxiangzhai.
Seeing this, Lin Wan couldn't help but laugh. Sure enough, he was still the noble and aloof Ye Zexian from his previous life.
Although he lived in Moxiangzhai, Ye Zexian did not think of taking advantage of it. Instead, he rushed to help Chen Ping and his assistants with work, and he never stopped even after returning from the imperial examination. I didn't expect that after passing the imperial examination, he could still be so patient and work in the store steadily.
Seeing this, Xu nodded. Seeing that everyone had dispersed, she turned around and looked at the three people in the room. She smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad. I like this kind of personality. It's worthy of my Wei Ning."
"Mom..." Li Weining shouted with a red face.
"Why, didn't you choose the son-in-law yourself?" Mrs. Xu looked at her little daughter with amusement, "You have a good eye. I'll tell your father when I get back that we should act quickly before someone else gets there first!"
"Just grab it if you want!"
"Hey, who's urging me at home?"
Lin Wan and Li Suining couldn't help laughing as they watched the mother and daughter bickering.
