Chapter 122 Chapter 121 The Examination Ends
Just as General Yuchi's wife said, although General Yuchi had only one legitimate son, Yuchi Yi, he also had a illegitimate son born to a concubine who was five or six years old.
General Gao's wife was so stubborn that she would not allow her husband to take a concubine. She herself had injured her body during childbirth and had only one son, Gao Tai. She was afraid of dropping him if she held him in her hands, and afraid of melting him if she held him in her mouth.
Now seeing her son's face being beaten by the eldest wife of the Duke of Anguo, who was also the wife of the Duke of Anguo's prince, Mrs. Gao was furious.
If General Gao had not returned in time to stop her, Madam Gao would have taken the guards and servants in the mansion to fight the wife of the Prince of Anguo.
Because they were all well-known families in the capital, and both sides were injured, the matter was eventually left unresolved.
However, for a long time afterwards, whenever the wife of Duke Anguo went out to attend a banquet, she would be bullied by the wife of General Yuchi, the wife of General Gao, Chen Qibao's mother, and the wife of General Chen.
She would be humiliated every time, and she would go to the palace to complain to her sister-in-law, Concubine Xian, who had given birth to a prince and was ambitious.
How could I be willing to anger several generals leading troops to fight at once?
For the sake of her son's great cause and future, Concubine Xian tried every means to win them over, so how could she easily offend them?
An Xin came back and went to Doctor Su's house to ask him to come to her the next day. General Liu was there too, and the two old men were playing chess.
After learning the purpose of An Xin's visit, the three of them discussed and decided to take all six of them to An Xin's place tomorrow. Anyway, Liu Boxing also had his own room in her house.
This way, Dr. Su doesn't have to run back and forth.
An Xin was invited to stay for dinner by the two old men. After they moved out, General Liu and Doctor Su felt that the house had become a lot quieter.
The two old people also liked this girl An Xin. An Xin also knew that people like to be lively when they get old. She instantly turned into dozens of ducks, and her little mouths never stopped chattering.
She had a lot of weird ideas, and the two old people together couldn't defeat her. Instead of getting angry, they laughed heartily.
Only when he saw that the two elderly people were tired did An Xin say goodbye and leave to let them rest.
After walking out of the house, An Xin wiped the non-existent sweat beads on his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief. Making an old man happy was a very laborious job.
There is peace in Anxin.
The families whose products she had returned also gathered together to discuss the matter. Finally, they asked three brats who had obviously been beaten up by several generals, but they kept their heads down and said nothing.
Several adults thought that they didn't want to study with An Xin.
The more General Yuchi inquired, the more he learned that several of An Xin's current students were once recognized as losers and disobedient students.
The more he felt, the more he felt that it was the right decision to entrust his legitimate son to An Xin for discipline.
But now his son is unwilling to learn from her, which makes him very upset. Other families also feel that it is a pity to lose such a good teacher like An Xin.
Just as they were thinking about whether or not to follow the children's wishes, they came from a family of military generals, and it wouldn't be a big problem if the children were a little absurd as long as they didn't go astray.
Then I heard Yuchi Yi say in a low voice: "I only recognize the female teacher as my teacher."
"Me too." Gao Tai also said.
The few of them had been playing together since they were young, wearing open-crotch pants. They both agreed, so Chen Qibao certainly wouldn't object.
"As long as the female teacher doesn't ask me to practice calligraphy anymore, I think she is still a good teacher."
"Ouch!" Chen Qibao covered his forehead which was hit and looked at his father aggrievedly.
The burly General Chen cursed in a loud voice: "You little bastard, even a dog can't recognize the characters you wrote.
What's wrong with Principal An Xiaoshan asking you to practice calligraphy? You dare to skip class. If I find out about it again, I will beat you to death."
"It would be strange if a dog could read!" Chen Qibao muttered.
General Chen: "What did you say?"
"Father, you are hallucinating. I didn't say anything!" Chen Qibao, who was afraid of being beaten, blinked innocently and immediately denied it.
Seeing that the children were not averse to going to An Xin for education, the adults began to worry about the returned materials and how to make An Xin willing to accept them.
Several families decided to send the three trouble-making, disobedient and shameless boys to An Xin to continue her discipline.
Knowing that the next day would be the day when the imperial examination would end, and that several of An Xin's students had participated in this year's spring examination, she would definitely have something to do tomorrow.
So the families decided to wait a few days before going to see her.
The sun was about to set, and An Xin returned to her house. Qingfeng Mingyue saw her coming back and fetched some clean water for her to wash.
With the help of two personal maids, An Xin changed into hibiscus-colored home clothes, which made her originally dignified and elegant face look much softer.
The woman with fair skin and bright eyes, lying softly on the fur-covered couch, also highlighted her beauty.
An Xin ran around all day, squinting his eyes as he lay on the couch, and asked softly, "Have the quilts and mattresses of the gentlemen in the front yard been taken out to dry?
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Is the room clean and ventilated?"
Qingfeng now manages all matters in the house, while Mingyue only manages matters around An Xin and inside and outside the residential yard. The two have different divisions of labor, but they grew up together and cooperate well with each other.
Originally, after buying a house, one should have hired servants.
But the water in the capital is deep, and people here cannot be bought casually. If you are not careful, you will be trapped.
Especially since there were so many people in her family who were taking the imperial examinations, after An Xin bought the house, she did not dare to easily buy in unfamiliar servants.
"The weather has been good these past few days, so the quilts and mattresses of the gentlemen have been exposed to the sun. The rooms have also been cleaned and ventilated. When the gentlemen finish their exams tomorrow, they will be able to live comfortably."
"Well, you did a great job." An Xin was never stingy with praise for a job well done, but her voice was already hazy.
Qingfeng and Mingyue smiled and looked at each other. Seeing An Xin who was already confused, they stepped forward and helped her up. They said softly, "Master, you can't sleep here. Mingyue and I will help you to the bed."
The next day, An Xin got up early, washed and went to pick someone up.
If we really count the length of the examination, to be precise, all candidates will stay in the Imperial Examination Hall for nine days and seven nights.
Because it was already dark after the exam yesterday, all candidates will be released today for safety reasons.
Walking to the front yard, An Xin saw two old men sitting in the front hall. He held his forehead with his hand and said, "Why are you so excited? You came so early. It's not the day when the results are announced. Is it necessary?!"
"Girl, I'll go with you to pick them up." said General Liu.
An Xin hurriedly comforted him, saying that there were so many people at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall, and that he should not bump into the old man.
“Who are they to be? You, old man, are the ones who need to go and pick them up in person.
They don't have that much face, so you just stay at home and wait for them. We won't spoil them."
"Hahaha, you girl." General Liu did not insist and let An Xin and the others leave.
