Imperial Exam Daily

Although he tried his best to hide it, in the end he still didn't hide it from the people he shared day and night. Axi was silent for a long time.

If he hadn't met Song Yiyu today and called his name, he would have almost forgotten that his original name was Xue Zixiang. The familiar and unfamiliar words fell into his ears. It has been seven years since the last time he heard someone call him that. something happened.

Originally, he wanted to forget his past life, and in the future, he would treat himself as a child who grew up in the countryside, so the past few years have been peaceful and smooth.

Back then when he showed his edge at the banquet, Yang Ye asked him about his life experience. Although Yang Ye wanted to know about his past, he respected him and didn't force him to speak out. After that, he faded away. I never questioned him again, and even learned that he could read and write, and often taught him to write poems and paint, and the two lived in harmony.

He also felt that his decision was not wrong, so he didn't want to talk about the good and bad in the past.

But now I suddenly ran into someone I know well, who used to have a lot of connections, if he was careless today, it would be fine, but if he is sought out to entangle, there will be troubles at that time, rather than troubles suddenly coming to the door, it is better to talk to Yang Ye first Frankly, I will have to deal with it when the time comes, so as not to be caught off guard.

Now he belongs to Yang Ye physically and mentally, and they are a real husband and wife. Even if Yang Ye thinks he is a trouble because of his background, everyone is his now, so he can't just throw him away.

Yang Ye put the clothes on for Axi, straightened the white collar, and brushed his hanging hair behind his ears: "What's the matter? Is it because I'm not here, that Xiaoer doesn't listen to you?"

A Xi quickly shook his head: "No, no, he is very, very diligent."

He paused, looked up at Yang Ye, and seemed to hold his breath: "I met an old friend from back then."

Yang Ye frowned negligently. It was a joy to meet an old friend, but when he saw Ah Xi, his face was pale. Combining with the past when he asked about Ah Xi's life experience, his expression was always stagnant. Looking back on what happened, he thought that Ah Xi had already suffered a lot in Zaocun, but when it comes to the past, he is even more unwilling to touch it. One can imagine how painful the past was.

It's not that he didn't want to know about Ah Xi's past these years, but he didn't mention it, and it was inconvenient for him to ask. Now that he suddenly took the initiative to talk about it, he must have encountered something bad.

"Did he bully you?"

A Xi didn't nod or shake his head: "He, he stopped me on the street, I pretended that he recognized the wrong person, I, I was afraid that he would come to me again."

"Then who stopped you? If you know his identity and you don't want to see him, we can avoid him."

"Yes, yes..." Axi paused, a little afraid to look into Yang Ye's eyes, his voice was very low: "He is the eldest son of a scholar family, and the family used to be married to him .”

Yang Ye's brows were so tight that he could pinch a fly to death. Fortunately, he was sitting on the bed now. If he was sitting at the table drinking tea, he wouldn't spray all over the floor.

He tried his best to calm the sourness that came out of his body, and said, "You mean the son of the chief examiner appointed by the imperial court?"

Axi nodded.

Although Yang Ye has never met this rival in love, he also knows the greatness of his father, the chief examiner of the Hanlin University Examination. He is a third-rank official.

For such a courtier, the threshold must be very high.

When he met Axi, he was still a little boy of 15 years old. At that time, he had been in Zaocun for more than four years. The engagement with the eldest son of the scholar's mansion was either due to the close relationship between the two families, the aristocratic family, or the fact that Axi's original lintel was prominent, which made people want to curry favor early.

As for the other possibility, that is, Ah Xi and that person were in agreement and engaged in marriage early on. Of course, Yang Ye ruled out the last one without even thinking about it. He firmly believed that Ah Xi only had... No, wait, it seems that Ah Xie has never said that he likes him~

Yang Ye suddenly felt a little headache.

At the beginning, he didn't want to see Axi and deliberately alienated him, but the young man took good care of him. At that time, he felt that Axi admired him in his heart, but now that he thought about it, Axi was living in the countryside and could not return home. To marry, this era emphasizes marrying a chicken and marrying a dog with a dog. In order to live a good life, he can only rely on his husband. Even if the husband doesn't like him, there seems to be no other way out except to please him... ....

It seemed that a basin of cold water poured down from the top of his head in an instant, and he almost couldn't hold back.

Seeing his complexion darken, Ah Xi reined in his horse in time: "I, I didn't mean to hide it from you. Later, I couldn't speak clearly. Song Xueshi felt that being the husband of Mr. Song was insulting to the family. Feeling ashamed, the marriage is just, just let it go, now that it's been many years, Mr. Song must have already married."

"Then, I was still young at that time, and I didn't understand the love of children. I just felt that it was shameful to be divorced, so I was sad for a while." He grabbed the corner of Yang Ye's clothes: "Ah Ye, you are sensible. From now on, I, I only have you in my heart."

Listening to his story, Yang Ye felt sour. If he said that he had a bad fate, it would probably be the Axi in front of him. It is a pity that he has to bear all this at such a young age. He embraced humanity and said, "I am overthinking. I can’t find another brother as good as Ah Xi, so I’m also afraid that one day you won’t be mine.”

The corners of Ah Xi's eyes turned red when he heard this, he probably will never find another man who cherishes him as much as Yang Ye, and since this is the case, he feels that he should not hide anything from him.

Like-minded people should let each other know when they have difficulties and solve them together.

More than ten years ago, he was born in a family of officials and officials. His mother was quite talented and was a well-known talented woman in the capital.

His parents are both talented people. He has been influenced by his parents since he was a child, and he has inherited his parents' talents. He was able to compose poems at the age of three. His father won a lot of glory, so his father also attracted a lot of attention. Soon after, he got married to Song Yiyu. With this relationship, he was taken care of by a bachelor, and his father was promoted to an official.

That was probably his best time.

After his father was promoted, he showed his desire for fame and fortune. He was promoted from an official of the eighth rank to an official of the fourth rank.

His mother was in poor health and had nothing to do after giving birth to him. Although his father didn't say anything, he secretly had a concubine's heart. When he was six years old, he entered the side room and his mother died soon after. His father felt guilty for this I was depressed for a few days, but with a newcomer by my side, how much can I feel sad, and I soon forgot my mother who died of illness.

Axi was young and couldn't change any of his father's decisions. He was immersed in the grief of his mother's death and couldn't get out for a long time. His father doted on his concubine and soon had a child, and he seldom cared about him.

At that time, he was always stupid, he couldn't understand the concubine's human face and beast's heart, Dong Ri fell into the lotus pond in a daze, and no one came to rescue him for a long time.

After being frightened and seriously ill, he could no longer speak eloquently. The marriage in the scholar's residence was abandoned, and his father blamed him for losing the family's face, and he didn't want to see him even more.

Yang Ye never raised his brows again when he heard Axi talking about the past. The ruthless people in Gaomen's mansion are really the same. It is how disappointed that he can talk about the past calmly.

"Later, there was a time when I heard a servant in the mansion say that Yuehuaju had a new cake that was delicious, but the servant refused to buy it for me, so I had to go out of the mansion by myself, but was abducted by human traffickers. gone."

Axi lowered his head and said, he suffered a catastrophe because of his gluttony.

Yang Ye suddenly remembered that when he bought cakes for Axi for the first time, he remembered that people's eyes were red. He thought it was because of being touched, but he never thought about it, but it hurt his heart. Now that he thinks about it carefully, their family still serves cakes Doesn't the shop poke at Axi's sore spots from time to time?

But Ah Xi shook his head: "Ah Ye bought me cakes, I-I'm very happy. We have a pastry shop in our family, then, after that, we won't get lost because of gluttony."

Yang Ye rubbed Axi's hair: "The life in the village is so hard, don't you think about going back?"

"I, I dare not think, I overheard from the traffickers that people in the mansion bribed them to abduct me. Later, when I met people from the government to arrest the traffickers, I took the opportunity to escape. I didn't know where I was, begging all the way When I arrived in Zaocun, it was my aunt who took me in. Although I was very tired from doing farm work at that time, my aunt treated me like a mother, so I didn’t want to leave. Besides, the mountains are high and the road is far away. Go back and take refuge with other relatives, and you can't go back."

"You have suffered all these years, and I will protect you well in the future. Now that we have our own home, we don't have to go anywhere. Don't worry about being afraid anymore."

Axi said: "With you here, I'm not afraid, I just don't want to disturb you because of these troublesome things, I, I don't want to go back now, since the family treats me as dead, then let's pretend that Xue Zixiang is really dead. I am Axi."

Yang Ye said silently, "Okay, we'll go back after the rankings are released. We'll just stay in the inn to rest well these days. It just so happens that we're tired after staying in the Gongyuan for so many days. We don't see anyone except the acquaintances."

He stroked Ah Xi's back: "I wrote a letter to my elder brother, asking him to come over to see the shop and discuss business matters. You must have not slept well these days, and your eyes are black and blue. Now I am here, Get some sleep, eh?"

After putting Ah Xi to sleep, he wrote a letter to Yang Cheng, and after the envelope was completed, he handed it to Xiaoer to take to Wenyang County.

It was dark and the setting sun was swallowed by the night, Yang Ye stood by the window with his hands behind his back for a long time, when the night wind entered the room, he turned his head to look at the person on the bed, his sleeping face was gentle.

He closed the window, and it took a lot of work to protect Axi.
