Chapter 19 Eccentric Grandmother

In the elegant and quiet flower hall, Ye Li presented tea brewed to her aunt and cousin who were still angry.

Mrs. Xu took a sip of tea, felt her anger relieved, and then looked at Ye Li helplessly and said, "Look at your temperament, even the concubine's son dared to bully you." Ye Li didn't care, and looked at her aunt who was protecting her with a smile calmly and said, "Is she the chief mistress of the Ye family or Zhaoyi's biological mother in the palace? Besides, Li'er didn't suffer any losses. Auntie, do you think so?"

Xu Qingfeng frowned and said, "We are here today. Your father must be punished in front of outsiders. If it were not so easy in normal times?" Don't think that he didn't know that just twenty boards were dragging on the Wang family to come and actually fell on Ye Rong. If it weren't for Ye Wenhua's instructions, would the servants have such courage to disobey him?

Ye Li raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I worry my cousin and uncle and aunt. He is the father's only son, so how can he not be biased? But Li'er is not a vegetarian. If she really offended me, how could he get out so easily?" In Ye Li's opinion, Ye Rong is just a spoiled child who doesn't like very much. It's boring to be too concerned about him.

When Xu Qingfeng remembered someone who was plagued by unlucky things during this period, he couldn't help but be happy. But he couldn't help but remind his cousin to be careful.

Mrs. Xu handed a sealed letter to Ye Li. Ye Li held the obviously thin envelope. When she looked warm in her heart, she saw Mrs. Xu's gentle and loving eyes. Ye Li felt a little sad, "Aunt..." Since her mother passed away, if it weren't for her uncle and aunt's care from time to time, she wouldn't have lived so freely over the years. Without waiting for her to say thank you, Mrs. Xu reached out to hold her hand and smiled, "Silly child, you are all in the blood of the Xu family no matter what, right? Your uncle only has your mother as a sister in this life, so what can you do to do these things?"

"Auntie..." Ye Li lowered her eyes, not wanting Mrs. Xu to see the tears in her eyes.

Seeing the atmosphere a little sad, Xu Qingfeng quickly smiled and said, "Mom is right. Our Xu family has only one daughter's family. When Li'er's wedding is about to get married, she will all go to Beijing. If my grandfather hadn't felt a little uncomfortable this year and the doctor wouldn't let him travel far, he would have wanted to come."

Ye Li also quickly endured the thoughts in her heart, "Grandpa is not in good health? That uncle and the others..."

"Don't worry, grandpa is naturally bound to have some minor illnesses when he is old. The climate in the capital is not as good as Yunzhou. As for the elder brother, they originally wanted to come to Beijing to prepare for next year's spring examination, but now they are just a few months ahead of schedule because of your wedding date." Fearing that Ye Li thought too much, Xu Qingfeng quickly comforted him. Ye Li held back his laughter. It's only the end of March, and next year's spring examination will be nearly a year, so it's too early. I understand that my cousin wanted to comfort him, and Ye Li also changed the topic according to his words: "Second, fourth cousin and fifth brother are going to participate in the spring examination?" Xu Qingze, who is the second generation of the Xu family, is 19 this year, and 16 this year, four this year.

Xu Qingbai and Xu Qingyan, who is thirteen years old. As for the oldest Xu Qingchen, who was twenty-two years old, he had already won the first place in the Golden List as early as the age of fourteen. He became the youngest youngest scholar since the founding of the Great Chu country. However, Xu Qingchen did not like the right and wrong in the officialdom, so he resigned from his official position and went to study in various places at the age of fifteen. At the age of twenty, he became the youngest gentleman of the Lishan Academy. This cousin is not an exaggeration to describe this cousin as a surprise. Although Ye Li only met him a few times a few years ago, he had a deep impression of this cousin. However, the three young men of the Xu family participated in the imperial examination at the same time, and the possibility of failing the Xu family's ability was extremely low. Will it be too conspicuous?

Xu Qingfeng shrugged and said, "It was originally the second brother and fourth brother, and the fifth brother was the one who came by himself. It is said that he would surpass his elder brother's title as the first prize of the 14-year-old young scholar. The elder brother was born in February, and he was in September. If he really won the first prize, he would be considered to surpass his elder brother, but the chance was not great." He has been a martial arts since he was a child. Even if he reads books, he likes to read military books and has no interest in whether to take the exam or not. In fact, the Xu family is not very interested in the imperial examination, and he has no intention of becoming an official anyway. But if he doesn't leave the court and get a certain ranking, he can't teach at Lishan Academy. How could those prides of heaven convince people who are about the same age as him as him to be teachers?

Mrs. Xu also smiled and said, "Actually, only Qingze is the one who really wants to take the exam. Qingbai and Qingyan are just taking the opportunity to join in the fun."

"Does the second brother plan to stay in the capital?" Ye Li asked.

Xu Qingfeng smiled and praised: "Lier is still smart. But my second brother stays in the capital, but your cousin is going to travel far."

Looking at Xu Qingfeng's spirited look, Ye Li felt happy and said, "Did my second uncle agree to my cousin?"

Mrs. Xu nodded helplessly and comfortably, "Isn't that true? This kid finally got his wish. Your uncle is planning to let him enter the army to hone his skills." In fact, the Censor's mind is still very complicated. He hopes that this son will not be able to stand the training in the army and go home for a while and inherit the tradition of the Xu family's scholarly family, but if Xu Qingfeng really dares to stay for a few months and then run back, he will probably be in trouble.

"Congratulations to my cousin," Ye Li said with a smile. My second uncle has always disapproved of his cousin's participation in the army, and now he finally let go. No wonder Xu Qingfeng is so happy.

"Chenglier Jiyan. When my cousin becomes the general, if King Ding dares to bully you, my cousin will vent his anger for you!"

"..." Ye Li looked dark. Even a general was not enough to compete with the only hereditary prince of the Great Chu. What's more, when he went from a small pawn to a general, the daylily would be cold.

Until Ye Li personally sent away his cousin and aunt Ye Shangshu, he never appeared again. Mrs. Xu obviously no longer had any hope for the Ye family's etiquette and rules. If it weren't for Ye Li's niece, the Ye family, which caused her daughter to die in depression, would have no relationship with the Xu family. Ye Li was not angry either. When she turned back to Qingyixuan, she glanced at Wang's Fangyiyuan, and a rare sneer appeared on her lips: Is Wang trying to show her a warning?

"Sister Three..."

Before entering Qingyixuan, Ye Ying held the girl's hand and came shakingly. Ye Li stood up and looked at the first beauty in front of her calmly. It seemed that there was nothing on the surface in the past few days, in fact, Ye Ying's life was not easy. Her delicate and beautiful little face in the past added a little pale and haggard, and looking at Ye Li's water eyes also had a little resentment and water vapor. The plain whiteness made Ye Li couldn't help but shake. "The appearance brings sorrow to her cheeks, and the sickness is full of tears. Tears are slight, and she is slightly gasping..." Ye Li thought of the sentence in the dream of the Red Chamber for no reason that described the fairy beauties in the world. It's a pity that looked at the occasionally flashing light in the water eyes. Where is the slightest bit of the nobleness of the Fairy of the Crimson Pearl?
