remarrying husband
Chapter 95
Yu Shengmao wondered why his son-in-law had been in the palace for so many days?I don't come back and talk about it, but after all, I am taboo about court affairs, so I keep my mouth shut.
But the clever father didn't ask any further, and his promising son couldn't help but ask, "Why did my brother enter the palace? Why did he stay in the palace for so long? explain?"
Yu Huiyao didn't believe it, so he pretended to be stupid and asked three questions curiously.
Cao Zhihao immediately pulled the old man's face, "The emperor deeply trusts him, and it's not once or twice to do errands for the emperor. Who dares to ask more about the emperor's affairs?"
Yu Shengmao also blamed Aizi a little bit, but in the end he was biased. He just stared at him and apologized to Cao Zhihao, "The child is young and ignorant, so don't take offense at the in-laws."
Cao Zhihao didn't care, smiled and waved his hands, "How could it be, I just heard that Hui Yao is two years older than my son who doesn't live up to expectations?" What's so small?Older than his brother-in-law, are you embarrassed?
Yu Shengmao didn't hold any official position, although he had fame, but he was just a juror, teaching and educating people in a school, so his reputation was lower than Cao Zhihao's.
Cao Zhihao's words sounded blunt, which made him a little embarrassed, but today he came here to ask for something, so he had to bow his head, "Hehe, who doesn't know that Zhenling is young and promising? Naturally, my child can't compare." The praise finally made Cao Zhihao look a lot better. Only then did Yu Shengmao intervene in the topic, "Madam has not seen Xiu Mian for a long time, and I miss him very much. When he returns home, come back and visit him."
Cao Zhihao nodded again and again, "It should be, it should be."
The two chatted for a while, not thinking about it, Yu Shengmao saw that he could only go so far today, "Isn't the son-in-law at the house today?" His in-laws came, and Cao Zhenling wasn't there?
Cao Zhihao felt a little regretful, "I'm in the barracks again, I'm suffering." As he spoke, he shook his head repeatedly.
Seeing that he had no intention of talking, Yu Shengmao simply got up and said goodbye.
To be honest, it was embarrassing for him to come here today.He regretted abandoning his son-in-law now, but he didn't regret it at all back then.
Yu Xiumian is indeed a great talent, and she taught her with all her heart back then, but when she is married, she is a woman, she should abide by female virtues, and cannot act like a man.
The moment he married into the Lin family, Yu Shengmao really gave up on his legitimate son and devoted himself to teaching his son Yu Huiyao.
In other words, when General Lin intended to settle on Yu Xiumian, he turned his mind to Yu Huiyao.
It can also be said that when Yu Xiumian was born as Lin'er, he felt sorry and liked Yu Huiyao more...
Speaking layer by layer, Yu Shengmao felt that there was nothing wrong with his actions back then.
If Yu Xiumian hadn't been Lin'er, why would he have been favored by old general Lin and intended to be betrothed to Lin Jinghui?Back then, because Yu Xiumian was the legitimate son, he had to seriously teach him to be the heir of the Yu family, otherwise he would be treated as an ordinary heir at most, and he wouldn't put much thought into it.
When Yu Xiumian was favored by old general Lin, the Yu family indeed got a lot of money from it, but in Yu Shengmao's heart, he only thought that he married a good girl, wasting the time and energy spent on teaching and cultivating.Although Yu Huiyao is not as good as Yu Xiumian, he is a son after all, he can inherit the family business, and he will not be seen as married.
Later, since Yu Xiumian married Lin Jinghui, but still behaved like a man and advised him, the Yu family felt that something was wrong, and came to persuade him to no avail.In the end, seeing that Yu Xiu Mian ended up like this and was suspended, he felt it was natural.What's more, if she married Lin Jinghui and had no children for many years, she should take a concubine to fill the house.
His son is not virtuous, even jealous!Yu Shengmao's old face was dull.And Yu Xiumian's reputation surpassed that of his son who was optimistic about cultivation. If he didn't give up, what would Yu Huiyao do?
Yu Shengmao felt that everything was reasonable and there was nothing wrong with it. He also felt that Yu Xiu Mian should be considerate of the Yu family. Now that he is famous, he should take care of his natal family, but he has ignored her for many years, which made him feel unhappy.But in the end it is the person who is married off, the water that is thrown out.Yu Shengmao couldn't blame himself too much, but seeing that his favorite son hadn't been an official yet, he was naturally anxious and had to beg to come to his door.
That's it, today's release.
In the evening, when Cao Zhenling returned to the mansion, Cao Zhihao triumphantly told his precious son everything about Old Man Yu's visit, and finally said, "I'm afraid I have something to ask for from Xiu Mian."
Cao Zhenling listened and nodded, "Bring all the concubine's sons, I'm afraid it's for the imperial examination half a year later, and I want Xiu Mian to tutor his son."
"I'm afraid so." Cao Zhihao couldn't help but nodded when he heard this. "It's a little troublesome. After all, he's his own younger brother. Although he's a little younger, he's not very close. But with this relationship, as long as Yu Shengmao asks, Yu Xiu Mian can't refuse. "
Isn't it?Cao Zhenling thought sadly, "Yu Xiumian has been busy these days, where is the time to teach him?"
"Hey, troublesome." Cao Zhihao sighed.
Yu Xiu Mian returned home in the afternoon of the second day after his own father came to visit. Cao Zhenling looked at the black and blue under his eyes, feeling extremely distressed.
He ordered people to prepare a soft and delicious meal, served Yu Xiu Mian to eat, and then pressed him to rest, "Looking at your appearance, I know that you haven't slept for a long time. Go to bed first, and we can talk about anything when you wake up."
I haven't seen my little husband for a long time, and Yu Xiumian misses him very much.Leaning in his arms, he ate his meal and drank some soup, and then let Cao Zhenling take care of his grooming before he crawled into bed exhausted.
As soon as he touched the mattress, Yu Xiu realized that he missed this family so much, and there was such a person.
Cao Zhenling's bedroom has been changed a long time ago. There are thick curtains on the windows and soft carpets on the floor, making it look warm everywhere. After Cao Simu came, it has been upgraded several levels. The curtains are divided into two layers, one layer of yarn and the other thick. Once you pull it up, you can't see any sunlight.
Yu Xiu Mian got into his little husband's arms, subconsciously stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his waist, and buried his whole face in Cao Zhenling's chest, then slowly exhaled, and leaned on him relaxedly.
Cao Zhenling stroked his hair repeatedly, coaxed him to sleep, and brought Yu Xiumian to a deep sleep. He also slowly closed his eyelids and let out a sigh of relief.
Xiu Mian is not here, he himself has not slept peacefully these days, and now that he is finally back, the feeling of being in his arms is really indescribable happiness.
The two slept until dawn the next day, it was still early.
Cao Zhenling felt sorry for him, so naturally he didn't dare to pester him to do anything, so the two simply hugged each other and chatted on the bed.
"What did the emperor say about this reform?" Cao Zhenling asked his wife, rubbing her hands.
"Reforms will be made, but slowly." Zhao Hechi also understands that nothing can be done without changes, and the only thing waiting for the old state of Zhao is to perish.
"If a country is to be strong, there must be internal and external troubles. This is true." Cao Zhenling lamented, "Too comfortable can only lead to perdition."
Yu Xiu Mian hummed lightly, and asked after a while, "I've been away for a few days, what's the matter?"
Originally, I was just asking casually, but I didn't think about it. Cao Zhenling really said yes.
Yu Xiu raised her eyebrows, "What's the matter?"
"Your father came to look for you, and brought your younger brother, saying that your mother missed you, and asked you to meet after you came out of the palace." Cao Zhenling clicked unhappily. Quail said that it should be the younger brother who asked you to help tutor your concubine. Your father is really at the moment, good or bad, you are still a concubine, even if you are married, you don’t take it so seriously."
Yu Xiu Mian felt uncomfortable hearing that, their family has always favored boys over girls, even his mother-in-law was the same.Because of giving birth to him, his body was broken and he couldn't reproduce. At first, he was not happy to see him as Lin'er, and later he was even more disgusted. Although he didn't say it on the surface, he hadn't been close to him since he was a child.
How can I really miss myself?It's not that there is anything to ask of him.Yu Xiumian also used to be jealous of the younger brother born to his noble concubine. Although he was treated well at home, he was not as good as that younger brother. He was doted on by his father and regarded as a treasure by his biological mother. His mother was partial to that younger brother.
The soreness in Yu Xiumian's heart is only known to him.If not, how could he be willing to give up everything for Lin Jinghui when Lin Jinghui gave him that warmth?It's too longing, so longing that I'm willing to trade my lifelong ambition for that little bit of warmth.
It's a pity, after all, the entrustment is not human...
"Hey, do you think I'll go later, or the day after tomorrow?" Yu Xiumian was unwilling to go to the Yu Mansion that had already left, but Yu Mansion was the place where he was born, so he had to go.
Cao Zhenling didn't have those ethical guidelines in mind, his wife didn't want to go, and if he couldn't find an excuse, he wouldn't want Yu Xiu to go!
"The day after tomorrow, will you go to court today?" Cao Zhenling asked.
"No, but I have to enter the palace later." He was so busy with military service and school matters these days that he didn't even have time to eat.
"Then sleep a little longer, what time are you going? I'll call you when the time comes." Cao Zhenling was so distressed, he knew that he wouldn't talk so much with Yu Xiu, and if he wanted to talk, he would take it easy, otherwise he wouldn't So tired.
"Hmm..." Yu Xiumian thought before going to sleep again, luckily he finally found the right person, there is no one in the world who treats him better than Cao Zhenling.
After getting enough sleep, Yu Xiu Mian straight up got up and ate breakfast, and left his little husband with a sad face, thinking in his heart, should the emperor or Cao Zhenling enter the palace?In this way, I can roll into Cao Zhenling's arms every day when I fall asleep, even if it will be much more comfortable, and I have hope.
So... "Mr. Yu, can you say it again?" Zhao Hechi scratched his ears and couldn't help asking again.
"It's nothing..." It's fine if you don't agree, is there any need to tease him?
Cao Zhenling originally wanted to postpone the matter of going to the Yu Mansion, but who knows that within a few days, the Yu Mansion sent another message, saying that Mrs. Yu was seriously ill and missed her son.
Even in Cao Zhenling's time, children had to visit, not to mention this world where filial piety is more important than anything else.
What's more, to put it bluntly, the Yu family didn't care about Yu Xiumian much.
When he was in the Yu family, he was the eldest son, and he never missed anything from him; if he wanted to marry Lin Jinghui, he would marry him, and after he married, the relationship would fade away. Although he would be disgusted by being divorced, there is still room for good and bad, Although it was a few months later, he remarried immediately.
But the Yu family has never really felt ashamed of facing Yu Xiu. Most outsiders say that the head of the Yu family has no discerning eyes.
Only my own family knows that the Yu family is also a relative of the family.If not, how could Cao Zhihao allow his son not to visit his in-laws during the holidays?
As soon as Yu Xiu Mian returned home the next day and rolled into bed, Cao Zhenling showed him the post.The latter glanced at it and threw it under the bed, let out a sigh, and buried his chest, "Since I have to go, let's do it tomorrow."
"Yeah." The daughter-in-law is tired, but she's chubby! ! !I haven't had a bite of meat in a long time.
Cao Zhenling looked at the sleeping piece of "meat" with red eyes, but felt sorry for his wife, so he could only lick the corners of his mouth and swallow.
After waking up the next day, the two frantically ordered Xizhe to prepare the gift list for the Yu Mansion and the carriage.Cao Zhenling looked at Cao Simu, who also crawled up to have breakfast while breathing heavily, and felt a little regretful, "I can't take my sister..."
Yu Xiu Mian, who suddenly realized something, also felt that it was a pity...
Yu Mansion is a century-old scholarly family.There have been many officials, and they have taught many students, and they have a long-standing reputation.
The most beautiful part of Yu Mansion is the entrance to the small wall, which is engraved with official status on the left side, and those who have no official status but have fame on the right side, and a hundred flowers bloom in the middle.
Generally, the folks are mostly brick carvings, and the brick walls are used as this small wall.But the Yu family spent a lot of money to build a stone wall back then, but it looks more imposing because of this, and people can't help but look up at the Yu mansion when they enter.
Hearing that a servant reported that Yu Xiumian and her husband Cao Zhenling were visiting, Yu Shengmao immediately asked Yu Huiyao to come to the main hall, and at the same time invited the two of them in.
This person was finally invited, and Yu Shengmao knew his wife's temper was too upright, so he didn't let him come out immediately, but first took Yu Xiuyan to say how much he missed, and then praised Cao Zhenling's heroic stalwart.
Yu Huiyao came late, and when he entered the door, he pleaded guilty, "Brother, I miss you so much after not seeing you for a long time, and I am relieved to see that you are doing well."
This little mouth is so sweet, Cao Zhenling thought if he hadn't seen each other in the capital for several years, he would really believe it.
"Where, my younger brother has also grown up a lot." Yu Xiu Mian said lightly.
Yu Shengmao smiled and said, "The relationship between the two brothers used to be good, and it hasn't faded now. I am very pleased as a father."
The old man talked a lot of nonsense, and he was very capable of nonsense, so Cao Zhenling took another sip of his tea.
"Is brother busy these days?" Yu Huiyao was also jealous of this brother, but he also felt that the other party was just a Lin'er. He was even more relieved to see him marrying Lin Jinghui back then.
Later, seeing him being divorced, he and his mother often laughed at Yu Xiumian behind their backs.
Mrs. Yu's wife is indeed upright, but she really has no brains. Nothing can compare to her own son, but she just doesn't understand this.On the contrary, he despises the only aunt, but his mother is also smart. She took hold of the aunt and made the aunt favor him. What should I be afraid of in the Yu family?
However, the Yu family is just a small Yu family after all.When he grows up and has a broader vision, he will no longer be limited to the Yu family.The eccentricity of the two elders of the Yu family could not satisfy Yu Huiyao's desire.
Although he was proud of being admitted to Juren at a young age.But many people outside were comparing him with this elder brother. Yu Huiyao felt dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it outside, so he could only hold it in his heart.
At that time, when she saw that he was divorced, she immediately remarried, and she married Cao Zhenling, who had a very bad reputation at that time and had a violent temper. It was due to him and his mother.
Looking at the people who are on his head, he is happy when he is not doing well.
But who knew, that kid Cao Zhenling was just pretending!
After Yu Xiumian met him, he didn't have a bad day at all, but turned into a dragon when encountering a storm?
Yu Huiyao was so filled with hatred that he almost gritted his teeth.Who would have thought that Cao Zhenling was faking it?Is it pretend? !Even if he was pretending, it would be fine for him to return to his original nature, but he even allowed Yu Xiumian to take part in the scientific examination!
That year was also his first scientific examination, and he lost his name to Sun Shan, while Yu Xiu was named on the gold list!This is a kind of naked irony to him!The same two children from the Yu family, who are not much different in age, but they are completely different in other people's mouths, how can this make Yu Huiyao reconciled?
However, no matter how much unwillingness there is, now he can only bear it in his heart.Everything is not as important as his future.
Yes, not only does he now want Yu Xiumian to tutor him in his studies and pass the imperial examination, but also Yu Xiumian to pave the way for his future official career.
No matter how you say it, Yu Xiu Mian is married, and there won't even be his name on the Xiao wall!
As long as he mentioned it a little, his father would talk to him. For the Yu family, even Yu Xiumian's biological mother would force him.
There's nothing like looking at someone you hate and being forced to serve yourself.
Therefore, Yu Huiyao is very sincere to pay his respects to this elder brother who has not seen him for many years but has a great reputation.
Hmph, so what if he is the emperor's confidant now, in the future he will be able to go farther and longer than Yu Xiumian!
Yu Xiumian nodded slightly to Yu Huiyao, "It's just to share the emperor's worries, it's not a matter of whether he's busy or not." This is just a polite remark.
Yu Huiyao is not stupid either, he still needs Yu Xiumian now, so he naturally admires him more, "I really envy my elder brother's ability, the emperor thinks highly of him at such a young age."
To this, Yu Xiu Mian just smiled, "You will definitely be able to do it in the future."
The two talked back and forth, but neither mentioned the imperial examination.
Yu Xiumian didn't want to help if he could. It wasn't because he was cold, but because he was really busy, and he felt that Yu Huiyao still needed to study for a few more years. He might not be able to pass the exam this year, and even if he did, he might not rank high.
But the Yu family didn't think so about his plan.
Yu Shengmao waited for a long time, seeing that the two of them might have to go back if it continued, Dang even cheekily said, "Xiu Mian, you have been able to study since you were young, and this year Hui Yao is going to take the exam again. Last year you won the first prize. I am really impressed by being a father, can I have time to tutor your brother this year?"
Yu Xiumian listened and smiled, "Huiyao brings an article that you think is the best."
Today's Yu Xiumian is no longer the Yu Xiumian who was chained in the backyard by Lin Jinghui back then. In the past three years, he has seen many people and seen too many intrigues in the officialdom.
How to deal with people, how to evade is not as ignorant as back then.If it was him in the past, he would definitely bite the bullet and agree immediately, but now even if he knows that he can't evade, he won't give in easily.
Yu Huiyao immediately went back to the study to find the best article he had done this month, and presented it with both hands, expressing his urgency and sincerity.
Yu Xiu Mian took it with one hand, if it was Yu Xiu Mian back then, I'm afraid he would return the gift, right?
No one has discovered these details.
After scanning ten lines at a glance, Yu Xiu Mian nodded slightly, "It's indeed a lot better than before, Hui Yao is very talented."
This praise made Yu Shengmao and Yu Huiyao very happy. The two father and son looked at each other, and Yu Huiyao immediately smiled happily, "Thank you brother for the compliment, brother, I still need to work hard."
"Very good, it's great that you have this kind of heart." Yu Xiu Mian laughed.
"Then, Xiu Mian, do you think Huiyao will be able to pass the exam this time? About how many will be admitted?" Yu Shengmao said cautiously.
Cao Zhenling watched from the side and couldn't help sneering, this kind of virtue, Yu Xiumian could really calculate it, so he dragged Yu Xiumian to sit at the gate of the capital, and went to divination, he would definitely make a lot of money in the national treasury, so the emperor wouldn't be bothered.This science test can also be skipped, just let Yu Xiu Mian watch it, and that's it.
Silly this is.
Yu Xiumian was also displeased, but he didn't reveal that "Huiyao has improved a lot compared to the past, but the scientific examination is still a little worse." Then he turned to look at Yu Huiyao, "Is that what the teacher who taught you said?"
This question made Yu Huiyao pause. His husband did say that he might not succeed this year, so let him work hard. If not, how could he think of Yu Xiumian?Let it help you with your homework.
Yu Xiumian naturally sensed the strangeness on his face, and sighed slightly, "I'm afraid your husband told you the same thing, why are you so anxious, Hui Yao? Even if you pass the exam this year, your ranking is not high. If next time , must be on the list, why are you in a hurry?"
Yu Huiyao was naturally in a hurry, he didn't care if his ranking was good or not, others might be in a hurry, but he planned to let Yu Xiumian pave the way for him, it doesn't matter how high or low the ranking is, as long as he can pass the exam.
Being an official one year earlier, with one more year of qualifications, can go further in the future.
The abacus in Yu Huiyao's heart was flipping, but it was a pity that he couldn't say these words. Now that he was being questioned so sharply by Yu Xiumian, he couldn't find an excuse for a while, so he could only look at Yu Shengmao in embarrassment.
It seemed that it was not his original intention, but his father's, and he, a son, could not go against it.
Yu Shengmao thought about it and then sighed heavily, "Whether it's this year or the next imperial examination, you should take the time to tutor your younger brother. In your generation, he is the most talented."
It's really a loving father and a filial son, Yu Xiu Mian felt quite sour looking at it, although he had long since given up hope for them, but is it really appropriate to show the affection between father and son in front of his face?
What's more, in your generation, I'm afraid you didn't count yourself in?
When I first entered the mansion, there was no name on the small wall, how ridiculous!
I'm afraid that when I need him now, I can still have a good face. Usually, I really don't care about it, and I don't care about it at all.
Yu Xiu Mian lowered his eyes slightly, thinking to himself, let him go, he doesn't care about his ranking, so why should he care?
But the clever father didn't ask any further, and his promising son couldn't help but ask, "Why did my brother enter the palace? Why did he stay in the palace for so long? explain?"
Yu Huiyao didn't believe it, so he pretended to be stupid and asked three questions curiously.
Cao Zhihao immediately pulled the old man's face, "The emperor deeply trusts him, and it's not once or twice to do errands for the emperor. Who dares to ask more about the emperor's affairs?"
Yu Shengmao also blamed Aizi a little bit, but in the end he was biased. He just stared at him and apologized to Cao Zhihao, "The child is young and ignorant, so don't take offense at the in-laws."
Cao Zhihao didn't care, smiled and waved his hands, "How could it be, I just heard that Hui Yao is two years older than my son who doesn't live up to expectations?" What's so small?Older than his brother-in-law, are you embarrassed?
Yu Shengmao didn't hold any official position, although he had fame, but he was just a juror, teaching and educating people in a school, so his reputation was lower than Cao Zhihao's.
Cao Zhihao's words sounded blunt, which made him a little embarrassed, but today he came here to ask for something, so he had to bow his head, "Hehe, who doesn't know that Zhenling is young and promising? Naturally, my child can't compare." The praise finally made Cao Zhihao look a lot better. Only then did Yu Shengmao intervene in the topic, "Madam has not seen Xiu Mian for a long time, and I miss him very much. When he returns home, come back and visit him."
Cao Zhihao nodded again and again, "It should be, it should be."
The two chatted for a while, not thinking about it, Yu Shengmao saw that he could only go so far today, "Isn't the son-in-law at the house today?" His in-laws came, and Cao Zhenling wasn't there?
Cao Zhihao felt a little regretful, "I'm in the barracks again, I'm suffering." As he spoke, he shook his head repeatedly.
Seeing that he had no intention of talking, Yu Shengmao simply got up and said goodbye.
To be honest, it was embarrassing for him to come here today.He regretted abandoning his son-in-law now, but he didn't regret it at all back then.

In the evening, when Cao Zhenling returned to the mansion, Cao Zhihao triumphantly told his precious son everything about Old Man Yu's visit, and finally said, "I'm afraid I have something to ask for from Xiu Mian."
Cao Zhenling listened and nodded, "Bring all the concubine's sons, I'm afraid it's for the imperial examination half a year later, and I want Xiu Mian to tutor his son."
"I'm afraid so." Cao Zhihao couldn't help but nodded when he heard this. "It's a little troublesome. After all, he's his own younger brother. Although he's a little younger, he's not very close. But with this relationship, as long as Yu Shengmao asks, Yu Xiu Mian can't refuse. "
Isn't it?Cao Zhenling thought sadly, "Yu Xiumian has been busy these days, where is the time to teach him?"
"Hey, troublesome." Cao Zhihao sighed.
Yu Xiu Mian returned home in the afternoon of the second day after his own father came to visit. Cao Zhenling looked at the black and blue under his eyes, feeling extremely distressed.
He ordered people to prepare a soft and delicious meal, served Yu Xiu Mian to eat, and then pressed him to rest, "Looking at your appearance, I know that you haven't slept for a long time. Go to bed first, and we can talk about anything when you wake up."
I haven't seen my little husband for a long time, and Yu Xiumian misses him very much.Leaning in his arms, he ate his meal and drank some soup, and then let Cao Zhenling take care of his grooming before he crawled into bed exhausted.
As soon as he touched the mattress, Yu Xiu realized that he missed this family so much, and there was such a person.
Cao Zhenling's bedroom has been changed a long time ago. There are thick curtains on the windows and soft carpets on the floor, making it look warm everywhere. After Cao Simu came, it has been upgraded several levels. The curtains are divided into two layers, one layer of yarn and the other thick. Once you pull it up, you can't see any sunlight.
Yu Xiu Mian got into his little husband's arms, subconsciously stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his waist, and buried his whole face in Cao Zhenling's chest, then slowly exhaled, and leaned on him relaxedly.
Cao Zhenling stroked his hair repeatedly, coaxed him to sleep, and brought Yu Xiumian to a deep sleep. He also slowly closed his eyelids and let out a sigh of relief.

Although he was treated well at home, he was not as good as that younger brother. He was doted on by his father and regarded as a treasure by his biological mother. His mother was partial to that younger brother.
The soreness in Yu Xiumian's heart is only known to him.If not, how could he be willing to give up everything for Lin Jinghui when Lin Jinghui gave him that warmth?It's too longing, so longing that I'm willing to trade my lifelong ambition for that little bit of warmth.
It's a pity, after all, the entrustment is not human...
"Hey, do you think I'll go later, or the day after tomorrow?" Yu Xiumian was unwilling to go to the Yu Mansion that had already left, but Yu Mansion was the place where he was born, so he had to go.
Cao Zhenling didn't have those ethical guidelines in mind, his wife didn't want to go, and if he couldn't find an excuse, he wouldn't want Yu Xiu to go!
"The day after tomorrow, will you go to court today?" Cao Zhenling asked.
"No, but I have to enter the palace later." He was so busy with military service and school matters these days that he didn't even have time to eat.
"Then sleep a little longer, what time are you going? I'll call you when the time comes." Cao Zhenling was so distressed, he knew that he wouldn't talk so much with Yu Xiu, and if he wanted to talk, he would take it easy, otherwise he wouldn't So tired.
"Hmm..." Yu Xiumian thought before going to sleep again, luckily he finally found the right person, there is no one in the world who treats him better than Cao Zhenling.
After getting enough sleep, Yu Xiu Mian straight up got up and ate breakfast, and left his little husband with a sad face, thinking in his heart, should the emperor or Cao Zhenling enter the palace?In this way, I can roll into Cao Zhenling's arms every day when I fall asleep, even if it will be much more comfortable, and I have hope.
So... "Mr. Yu, can you say it again?" Zhao Hechi scratched his ears and couldn't help asking again.
"It's nothing..." It's fine if you don't agree, is there any need to tease him?
Cao Zhenling originally wanted to postpone the matter of going to the Yu Mansion, but who knows that within a few days, the Yu Mansion sent another message, saying that Mrs. Yu was seriously ill and missed her son.
Even in Cao Zhenling's time, children had to visit, not to mention this world where filial piety is more important than anything else.
What's more, to put it bluntly, the Yu family didn't care about Yu Xiumian much.
When he was in the Yu family, he was the eldest son, and he never missed anything from him; if he wanted to marry Lin Jinghui, he would marry him, and after he married, the relationship would fade away. Although he would be disgusted by being divorced, there is still room for good and bad, Although it was a few months later, he remarried immediately.
But the Yu family has never really felt ashamed of facing Yu Xiu. Most outsiders say that the head of the Yu family has no discerning eyes.
Only my own family knows that the Yu family is also a relative of the family.If not, how could Cao Zhihao allow his son not to visit his in-laws during the holidays?
As soon as Yu Xiu Mian returned home the next day and rolled into bed, Cao Zhenling showed him the post.The latter glanced at it and threw it under the bed, let out a sigh, and buried his chest, "Since I have to go, let's do it tomorrow."
"Yeah." The daughter-in-law is tired, but she's chubby! ! !I haven't had a bite of meat in a long time.
Cao Zhenling looked at the sleeping piece of "meat" with red eyes, but felt sorry for his wife, so he could only lick the corners of his mouth and swallow.
After waking up the next day, the two frantically ordered Xizhe to prepare the gift list for the Yu Mansion and the carriage.Cao Zhenling looked at Cao Simu, who also crawled up to have breakfast while breathing heavily, and felt a little regretful, "I can't take my sister..."
Yu Xiu Mian, who suddenly realized something, also felt that it was a pity...
Yu Mansion is a century-old scholarly family.There have been many officials, and they have taught many students, and they have a long-standing reputation.
The most beautiful part of Yu Mansion is the entrance to the small wall, which is engraved with official status on the left side, and those who have no official status but have fame on the right side, and a hundred flowers bloom in the middle.
Generally, the folks are mostly brick carvings, and the brick walls are used as this small wall.But the Yu family spent a lot of money to build a stone wall back then, but it looks more imposing because of this, and people can't help but look up at the Yu mansion when they enter.
Hearing that a servant reported that Yu Xiumian and her husband Cao Zhenling were visiting, Yu Shengmao immediately asked Yu Huiyao to come to the main hall, and at the same time invited the two of them in.
This person was finally invited, and Yu Shengmao knew his wife's temper was too upright, so he didn't let him come out immediately, but first took Yu Xiuyan to say how much he missed, and then praised Cao Zhenling's heroic stalwart.
Yu Huiyao came late, and when he entered the door, he pleaded guilty, "Brother, I miss you so much after not seeing you for a long time, and I am relieved to see that you are doing well."
This little mouth is so sweet, Cao Zhenling thought if he hadn't seen each other in the capital for several years, he would really believe it.
"Where, my younger brother has also grown up a lot." Yu Xiu Mian said lightly.
Yu Shengmao smiled and said, "The relationship between the two brothers used to be good, and it hasn't faded now. I am very pleased as a father."
The old man talked a lot of nonsense, and he was very capable of nonsense, so Cao Zhenling took another sip of his tea.
"Is brother busy these days?" Yu Huiyao was also jealous of this brother, but he also felt that the other party was just a Lin'er. He was even more relieved to see him marrying Lin Jinghui back then.
Later, seeing him being divorced, he and his mother often laughed at Yu Xiumian behind their backs.
Mrs. Yu's wife is indeed upright, but she really has no brains. Nothing can compare to her own son, but she just doesn't understand this.On the contrary, he despises the only aunt, but his mother is also smart. She took hold of the aunt and made the aunt favor him. What should I be afraid of in the Yu family?
However, the Yu family is just a small Yu family after all.When he grows up and has a broader vision, he will no longer be limited to the Yu family.The eccentricity of the two elders of the Yu family could not satisfy Yu Huiyao's desire.
Although he was proud of being admitted to Juren at a young age.But many people outside were comparing him with this elder brother. Yu Huiyao felt dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it outside, so he could only hold it in his heart.
At that time, when she saw that he was divorced, she immediately remarried, and she married Cao Zhenling, who had a very bad reputation at that time and had a violent temper. It was due to him and his mother.
Looking at the people who are on his head, he is happy when he is not doing well.
But who knew, that kid Cao Zhenling was just pretending!
After Yu Xiumian met him, he didn't have a bad day at all, but turned into a dragon when encountering a storm?
Yu Huiyao was so filled with hatred that he almost gritted his teeth.Who would have thought that Cao Zhenling was faking it?Is it pretend? !Even if he was pretending, it would be fine for him to return to his original nature, but he even allowed Yu Xiumian to take part in the scientific examination!
That year was also his first scientific examination, and he lost his name to Sun Shan, while Yu Xiu was named on the gold list!This is a kind of naked irony to him!The same two children from the Yu family, who are not much different in age, but they are completely different in other people's mouths, how can this make Yu Huiyao reconciled?
However, no matter how much unwillingness there is, now he can only bear it in his heart.Everything is not as important as his future.
Yes, not only does he now want Yu Xiumian to tutor him in his studies and pass the imperial examination, but also Yu Xiumian to pave the way for his future official career.
No matter how you say it, Yu Xiu Mian is married, and there won't even be his name on the Xiao wall!
As long as he mentioned it a little, his father would talk to him. For the Yu family, even Yu Xiumian's biological mother would force him.
There's nothing like looking at someone you hate and being forced to serve yourself.
Therefore, Yu Huiyao is very sincere to pay his respects to this elder brother who has not seen him for many years but has a great reputation.
Hmph, so what if he is the emperor's confidant now, in the future he will be able to go farther and longer than Yu Xiumian!
Yu Xiumian nodded slightly to Yu Huiyao, "It's just to share the emperor's worries, it's not a matter of whether he's busy or not." This is just a polite remark.
Yu Huiyao is not stupid either, he still needs Yu Xiumian now, so he naturally admires him more, "I really envy my elder brother's ability, the emperor thinks highly of him at such a young age."
To this, Yu Xiu Mian just smiled, "You will definitely be able to do it in the future."
The two talked back and forth, but neither mentioned the imperial examination.
Yu Xiumian didn't want to help if he could. It wasn't because he was cold, but because he was really busy, and he felt that Yu Huiyao still needed to study for a few more years. He might not be able to pass the exam this year, and even if he did, he might not rank high.
But the Yu family didn't think so about his plan.
Yu Shengmao waited for a long time, seeing that the two of them might have to go back if it continued, Dang even cheekily said, "Xiu Mian, you have been able to study since you were young, and this year Hui Yao is going to take the exam again. Last year you won the first prize. I am really impressed by being a father, can I have time to tutor your brother this year?"
Yu Xiumian listened and smiled, "Huiyao brings an article that you think is the best."
Today's Yu Xiumian is no longer the Yu Xiumian who was chained in the backyard by Lin Jinghui back then. In the past three years, he has seen many people and seen too many intrigues in the officialdom.
How to deal with people, how to evade is not as ignorant as back then.If it was him in the past, he would definitely bite the bullet and agree immediately, but now even if he knows that he can't evade, he won't give in easily.
Yu Huiyao immediately went back to the study to find the best article he had done this month, and presented it with both hands, expressing his urgency and sincerity.
Yu Xiu Mian took it with one hand, if it was Yu Xiu Mian back then, I'm afraid he would return the gift, right?
No one has discovered these details.
After scanning ten lines at a glance, Yu Xiu Mian nodded slightly, "It's indeed a lot better than before, Hui Yao is very talented."
This praise made Yu Shengmao and Yu Huiyao very happy. The two father and son looked at each other, and Yu Huiyao immediately smiled happily, "Thank you brother for the compliment, brother, I still need to work hard."
"Very good, it's great that you have this kind of heart." Yu Xiu Mian laughed.
"Then, Xiu Mian, do you think Huiyao will be able to pass the exam this time? About how many will be admitted?" Yu Shengmao said cautiously.
Cao Zhenling watched from the side and couldn't help sneering, this kind of virtue, Yu Xiumian could really calculate it, so he dragged Yu Xiumian to sit at the gate of the capital, and went to divination, he would definitely make a lot of money in the national treasury, so the emperor wouldn't be bothered.This science test can also be skipped, just let Yu Xiu Mian watch it, and that's it.
Silly this is.
Yu Xiumian was also displeased, but he didn't reveal that "Huiyao has improved a lot compared to the past, but the scientific examination is still a little worse." Then he turned to look at Yu Huiyao, "Is that what the teacher who taught you said?"
This question made Yu Huiyao pause. His husband did say that he might not succeed this year, so let him work hard. If not, how could he think of Yu Xiumian?Let it help you with your homework.
Yu Xiumian naturally sensed the strangeness on his face, and sighed slightly, "I'm afraid your husband told you the same thing, why are you so anxious, Hui Yao? Even if you pass the exam this year, your ranking is not high. If next time , must be on the list, why are you in a hurry?"
Yu Huiyao was naturally in a hurry, he didn't care if his ranking was good or not, others might be in a hurry, but he planned to let Yu Xiumian pave the way for him, it doesn't matter how high or low the ranking is, as long as he can pass the exam.
Being an official one year earlier, with one more year of qualifications, can go further in the future.
The abacus in Yu Huiyao's heart was flipping, but it was a pity that he couldn't say these words. Now that he was being questioned so sharply by Yu Xiumian, he couldn't find an excuse for a while, so he could only look at Yu Shengmao in embarrassment.
It seemed that it was not his original intention, but his father's, and he, a son, could not go against it.
Yu Shengmao thought about it and then sighed heavily, "Whether it's this year or the next imperial examination, you should take the time to tutor your younger brother. In your generation, he is the most talented."
It's really a loving father and a filial son, Yu Xiu Mian felt quite sour looking at it, although he had long since given up hope for them, but is it really appropriate to show the affection between father and son in front of his face?
What's more, in your generation, I'm afraid you didn't count yourself in?
When I first entered the mansion, there was no name on the small wall, how ridiculous!
I'm afraid that when I need him now, I can still have a good face. Usually, I really don't care about it, and I don't care about it at all.
Yu Xiu Mian lowered his eyes slightly, thinking to himself, let him go, he doesn't care about his ranking, so why should he care?
