Create a home with a system

Chapter 444

Although he only asked about the affairs of the backyard, nothing big or small in the mansion could be hidden from his eyes.

"Yes!" Yuan Yingxue obediently responded, and when she left Yuan Cong's yard, her steps became much lighter.

On the way back to his yard, he also met Shen Jinrou.

Shen Jinrou's expression turned dark in an instant, and she looked at the box tightly held in Yuan Yingxue's hand and asked curiously, "Sixth sister just came back? What is this holding? Such a treasure?"

There is Xiaomei beside Yuan Yingxue, she shouldn't be holding things by herself.

Yuan Yingxue smiled lightly, raised her head and replied, "Father gave it to me. If my cousin is fine, she will leave first."

After Yuan Yingxue's master and servant left, Shen Jinrou's complexion completely sank. Today, she went to the yards of several concubines to see the materials and jewelry they got. She felt relieved when she saw that everyone was the same. Come across this!

If her aunt gave her something extra, she could think of a way to ask for it again, but it was given by her uncle, and she didn't dare to say anything if she gave her a hundred courage, so she could only grit her teeth and stomp her feet secretly, and began to regret her recklessness.

If it wasn't for her being able to attend the flower viewing banquet smoothly, she wouldn't have to secretly send out name cards for Yuan Yingxue, and now she feels like shooting herself in the foot.

Soon came the day when the Dingbeihou Mansion held a flower viewing feast.

For the first time, the manor in the suburbs was opened to nobles in Beijing. The whole manor covers an area of ​​ mu, with exquisite pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, small courtyards of mountain farms, and exotic raised bamboo buildings, located in the bamboo forest. Quiet and elegant, there are also more than a dozen flower-themed gardens such as roses and roses, and a small zoo with peacocks, swans and other small animals that are not aggressive.

People who have never been out of Xijing can be regarded as an eye-opener here.

"My God! This garden really is a scene in Xijing! The imperial garden is nothing more than this!" Yuan Ke'er murmured, her eyes shining.

Yuan Su'er tugged at her sleeve, and reminded in a low voice: "You're back to your senses! Today we are representing the Yuan family, don't forget your mother's reminder before going out!"

Saying that, Yuan Su'er looked at Yuan Yingxue, and said, "Sixth Sister, you have more knowledge than us, so I'll take care of Sixth Sister today."

Yuan Yingxue was very surprised, "Didn't the third sister come to take the exam? The girls who came here today have to take the exam, and the younger sister doesn't know where she will be arranged. How can I take care of it?"

Yuan Su'er was startled, "Aren't we together?"

Yuan Yingxue shook her head, "How is that possible! With so many ladies, no matter how big the manor of the Dingbeihou Manor is, it is impossible to have a place to accommodate so many girls at the same time. At that time, they must be separated. In order to prevent everyone from cheating, the Dingbeihou Mansion should It will separate everyone who is related."

The faces of Yuan Su'er and the others changed instantly. Everyone exchanged glances with each other, and cold sweat began to break out on their foreheads. Originally, their plan was to copy each other, so they could get better grades. If they were separated, where would they copy it!

Shen Jinrou saw that everyone's faces were not good-looking, so she chuckled lightly and said, "Sixth Cousin is too unreasonable, Dingbeihou Mansion will offend many ladies if they really do this!"

After all, it is impossible for everyone to be a talented woman. Most of the ladies learn the three obediences and four virtues, and they can't even write well. How to answer the questions?

After being reminded by Shen Jinrou, Yuan Su'er and the others finally calmed down a bit, but why did they always have a bad premonition in their hearts.

A group of people walked to the assessment gathering place according to the landmarks. It was a garden called Qianziyuan. There was a huge green lawn in it. The Marquis of Dingbei and some princes and concubines were there. The battle was so big that it was scary. Yuan Suer who entered the garden When everyone puts away their little thoughts, they dare not make mistakes in front of so many nobles.

Go forward to salute them one by one, and the steward leads them to sit on their seats.

When it was almost time, the steward came over to report to Tangning, "Ma'am, all ladies are here, we can start now."

Mrs. Dingguo narrowed her eyes when she heard this number, and joked with Tangning, "I'll show some of my bastards a little while later!"

Tangning glanced at the wives around her, and laughed, "Then you have to choose carefully. There are hundreds of girls in a family, and it's hard to marry such a good lady!"

"What you said makes sense!" Mrs. Dingguo immediately restrained her joking thoughts, and sat upright and looked at the women below.

Yuan Ke'er was pulling the sleeves of Yuan Li'er and Yuan Su'er, and asked in a low voice: "Third sister, fifth sister, let's sit together in a while, remember!"

Both of them nodded.

Yuan Yingxue turned a deaf ear to it, and it was impossible for her to be in cahoots with them.

At this moment, Shen Jinrou suddenly looked at the hairpin on Yuan Yingxue's head and praised: "The hairpin sixth cousin is wearing today is really beautiful! Did my uncle prepare it for you yesterday?"

"What hairpin?" Yuan Ke'er asked without thinking, with a bad tone.

It was too late for Yuan Su'er to stop it.

Yuan Yingxue only glanced at Shen Jinrou indifferently, and said lightly, "What does it have to do with you?"

Shen Jinrou's complexion changed, she smiled dryly and found herself a step down, "I've never seen the headgear that my sixth cousin is wearing today, and I'm just curious because it doesn't look like an ordinary one. It's okay if you don't tell me."

"Cousin is really curious about a lot of things. At this time, you can still pay attention to whether the hairpin on my head looks good. It seems that you are very confident in today's exam!"

With just one sentence, Yuan Yingxue dragged the hatred to Shen Jinrou.

This hypocritical woman usually advertises herself as a well-educated lady. Although Yuan Ke'er and the others have never seen Shen Jinrou show off her talent, it does not prevent them from hating Shen Jinrou.

Shen Jinrou immediately turned pale, and wanted to explain that Tangning, who was sitting in the upper seat, had already ordered the steward to start.

Ding Yi stood up immediately, said some polite words, and finally said: "Because of the large number of people, it is impossible for a garden to accommodate all the distinguished guests to answer questions, so we have opened all twenty gardens as examination rooms, and each garden has people. , the list is randomly selected, and the test questions are also randomly selected. Of course, this is only the first level. I believe that all the distinguished guests are full of poetic and literary spirit, and it will definitely not be a problem!"

Ding Yi's last sentence blocked some girls who wanted to open their mouths, so everyone could only obediently go forward to draw the garden they wanted to go to, and immediately register at the side without giving anyone a chance to cheat.

Yuan Su'er said with a pale face: "Sixth Sister really hits the mark, we have to separate!"

Yuan Ke'er gritted her teeth and said, "It's a big deal and I won't answer it!"

Yuan Li'er immediately said: "It's easy to say, if the time comes to embarrass the Yuan family, let alone the mother can't explain it, even the father will be held accountable."

Yuan Ke'er is really not afraid if it's just Madam Yuan, but if there is one more Yuan Cong, she wouldn't dare to make a mistake.

Now Yuan Ke'er really panicked, "Third sister, what should I do? Me."

She is lazy on weekdays, and she can't read those words, and she can't even recognize the words, how can she answer!
