Imperial Exam Daily

On the second day, Mei Xiaozhi brought meat to Yang Ye's house to please her, and the story of being rejected by Axi spread all over the village.

Aunt Liu said to everyone that the gossip got more and more outrageous, and it became Yang Ye’s ears. The Mei family changed their minds and fell in love with Yang Ye. , gave Mei Xiaozhi a face and drove the person away.

When Yang Ye asked about this matter, Ah Xi was very upset. He didn't expect the matter to spread like this. There were a lot of exaggerations in it, but there were also some facts in it. Really unhappy.

He was afraid that Yang Ye would be blamed because of Mei Xiaozhi's anger, so he carefully looked at Yang Ye's expression.

"She really came?"

Axi nodded: "I, I just didn't ask for her flesh for the one who came to return the umbrella. I didn't need to thank you for borrowing an umbrella."

"Well, if I'm not at home next time and she comes here with a small excuse, you shouldn't open the door for her." It's annoying for no reason.

When he said this, Ah Xi was quite surprised, the Mei family intended to make friends, and there was great hope to ask Mei Xiaozhi to marry again, he couldn't understand why Yang Ye would do this.

So she bit the bullet and asked in a low voice: "Are you still angry about the fact that the Mei family pushed and pushed the proposal?"

Yang Ye's eyebrows twitched. He was no longer the scholar who was devoted to Mei Xiaozhi. Naturally, he didn't have any feelings for the Mei family. But based on what he knew about Mei Xiaozhi these days, he felt that the Mei family was really not that good. Little girl Not only is he playing tricks on Ah Xi, but he even told Master Zhou that they were not going back to the village after borrowing the umbrella that day, and told Master not to wait for them.

"I'm not angry because of that, it's just that I don't like that little girl doing things in movies."

A Xi's heart tightened for a moment, and he asked by chance, "You, you mean you don't like her anymore?"

It is unreasonable to say that I have never liked her before. This matter is really complicated, so Yang Ye had no choice but to agree.

Axi's hands trembled uncontrollably, and he was strongly anticipating something in his heart. He knew it himself: "w-why, he suddenly let go."

There was a trembling sound in the words, Yang Ye realized the change of Ah Xi's mood, he raised his eyes and saw that the boy's eyes were a little red, it was just a small talk, but he asked this question unexpectedly, why?No reason, no suddenness, it's just that he has always been like this.

But how could he, who has lived for more than 20 years, not know what Axi was asking.

Before he could figure out how to answer, Ah Xi took a breath, and finally asked what he wanted to ask the most: "Is it because of me?"

Yang Ye looked at the young man quietly, his eyes were blank.

He didn't know what his feelings for Ah Xi were. If he said that he only cared for someone close to him, he felt that it seemed to be more. A long-lost sense of discomfort began to develop.

His brows tightened, his chest gradually rose and fell, and his complexion was not very good. In order to avoid more unpleasant things, he stood up suddenly: "I'll go out for a while."

Axi looked at the person who walked out the door quickly, and hurriedly stood up: "Yang, Yang Ye..."

He stepped forward and chased Yang Ye for two steps. Yang Ye didn't intend to stop, he stopped in panic, and clenched his fingers tightly, so what he said on the wedding night was true, no matter what, he would never spend the rest of his life with him even if he said it himself If you admit that you don't like Mei Xiaozhi, you won't like him either.

Yes, he is stuttering, how could a scholar fall in love with him, he gave him advice early in the morning, but he didn't listen to his thoughts, the current temptation is undoubtedly tearing the paper of that beautiful illusion, I'm afraid there is no other way Bonded, he shouldn't... shouldn't have asked.

Axi's eyes were blurred, and tears slid down his chin.

In the next few days, Yang Ye had a tormented life. He didn't know how to face Axi, but Axi was more worried about how to face each other than he was. He avoided him for breakfast, and didn't say a word for dinner. like a dim light.

He didn't feel any better with Ah Xi like this, on the contrary, he felt even more uncomfortable.

He knew that choosing to leave that day had hurt Ah Xi's heart, but he himself was in a mess and couldn't offer any comfort at all.

A few days later, Yang Cheng, who was so busy that he couldn't spare his feet, came to the house. After the reputation of the yuba became famous, there were countless people who came to ask for the secret recipe and want to buy shares. Yang Cheng refused them all. Being the master, I never came to look for Yang Ye, but Zhao Yong also came to him two days ago.

"It's winter and everyone wants to find something to do. Zhao Yong also came here a few times. Last time we went together to buy bean curd sticks. You know how good the sale is. Now he came to me and said he wanted to buy from us to go around the county. Sell ​​it in a small town, do you think it can be done?"

"Selling in a small town can't steal our business. He and his brother have been friends for so many years. If you want to buy it, just give it to him. It will be calculated at the price of two bean curd sticks for three Wen."

Seeing that Yang Ye agreed, Yang Cheng was very happy: "Okay, then the matter will be settled."

After a while, Yang Cheng said again: "What's the matter with you recently, you look very gloomy, but what's wrong with the restaurant?"

"No, everything is as usual." Yang Ye said lightly: "It's just that it's winter, and the mood is not as spacious as when it is sunny."

Yang Cheng patted him on the shoulder: "You are so grown up, and your mood changes because of the seasons."

Yang Ye just smiled and didn't answer.

After Zhao Yong came to buy the goods, he became more busy making bean curd sticks. The men worked and set up stalls. The making of bean curd sticks was done by Wu Yonglan and Axi.

Sometimes after a new batch of bean curd sticks is made, Wu Yonglan will go to the county town with Yang Cheng to set up a stall. Firstly, she can go to the county town for a walk, and secondly, Yang Cheng is busy but she can also help collect bills and so on. , the couple are very happy to do this.

Seeing the two of them taking pictures together, Ah Xi has nothing else to think about but envy.

"Today I'm going to the county again with your elder brother. After waiting for a long time, Zhao Yong didn't come to pick up the goods. We were afraid of going late and delaying the delay. If he comes later, you can give him ten catties of bean curd sticks from home. "

The four-month-old belly was already pregnant, and Wu Yonglan was in good spirits, and she quickly got into the carriage and said to Axi.

Axi put the basket on the bullock cart and waved to Wu Yonglan: "I see."

Zhao Yong would go to Yang's house every now and then to fetch bean curd sticks, coming in and out, and Ah Xi also knew him well, he was talkative, and occasionally had a few words with him.

Axi walked home, Wu Yonglan confessed that he would wait for Zhao Yong to pick up the goods, and it was inconvenient for him to go out, so he simply chopped the firewood in the yard. The small yard was quiet, only the sound of chopping firewood could be heard, today is 27 , It was the end of the month in a blink of an eye, and he was a little absent-minded.

Some time in the afternoon, Yang Ye called Huang Jin to reconcile the account book, and the two of them had to reconcile the account book for nearly an hour. While they were clearing up the account book, Xiao Liu came and yelled: "Mr. Yang, Xing Orion has brought game. I'm calling you to pay the bill."

Xing Huai went to the restaurant several times, and everyone knew that the two knew each other, but they were even polite to Xing Huai.

Yang Ye went to the backyard to take a look at the prey that was delivered. They were all small things, but there were four or five of them. He gave Xing Huai a tael of silver according to the price of the restaurant: "There are quite a lot of goods today."

"Winter is not as good as before. I have saved it for a while. I'm afraid it will be almost enough to send it twice this year." Xing Huai washed his hands in the backyard, and said: "I left a pheasant for you, let's get off work. Remember to take it back with you.”

Yang Ye said: "Why are you so lucky to give away such precious things?"

"Isn't it Axi's birthday today? Qiu He is not feeling well, so we won't come here."

Yang Ye was dazed for a moment, he didn't know about Axi's birthday today, he only knew about Axi's age, he never knew the exact date, if Xing Huai hadn't mentioned it, he might have been confused.

After sending Xing Huai away, he was about to look for Huang Jin, but Huang Jin didn't expect him to say, "I'm leaving first this afternoon, aren't I?"

Yang Ye said helplessly, "It's impolite to eavesdrop on a conversation."

"Come on, you go, if I have such a good-looking husband at home, I would be reluctant to go out to work." Huang Jin said with a smile: "You don't know that Mr. Jiang on the corner paid a lot of money to pick up a little brother Entering the door, the little brother was born fresh and juicy. Mr. Jiang was happy to have someone to accompany him every day. As a result, he went to another county to do business a while ago, and it took only a dozen days. The little brother ran away with others .”

"You have to watch out for that little brother in your family, don't tell me that someday you won't be able to find someone when you go back."

Yang Ye stretched his eyelids, he was too lazy to joke with Huang Jin here, others don't know how anxious he is to go back now.

These days, he and Axi have a lot of unhappiness, and Axi avoids him everywhere. The little house where he can't wait to go back after work in the past has become very lonely. He doesn't want to go on like this for a long time. The good thing goes back, and coaxes Axi with his birthday.

"I won't bother you, I'll take a step first."

He tidied up in a hurry, and took the pheasant sent by Xing Huai to Yipinxiang. Ah likes to eat sweets, and the pastries are very suitable for him, but he is afraid of being expensive and always tells him not to buy them. If he can eat them today, he will surely Happy.
