Although Xu Xi knew the test results from the system, Xu Xi had no way of explaining the reason, and it was difficult to tell Xu Xue.

When the two of them left the academy, the gatekeeper gave each of them a sign and said: "Go to the academy tomorrow to see the list. Those whose names are on the list will be considered admitted. This is the sign for entering the academy, but

You have to keep it and use the card to enter the hospital. If you are admitted tomorrow, the card will not be taken back. In the future, you will have to rely on this card to go to school. If you are not admitted, the card will be taken back. If the card is lost, you can't come even if you are admitted.

If you study, you will be deposed directly."

When Xu Xue heard this, she was so frightened that she clutched the sign tightly.

Xu Xi put the sign in her arms, pulled Xu Xue to thank her mother-in-law, and then walked out of the door.

During the process of entering the kindergarten, many people failed to pass the test and were kicked out of the garden; when they entered the exam, many people were sent out. Therefore, the number of people waiting outside the door was less than when they entered the kindergarten.

As soon as they walked out of the door, they saw Xu Yongyi standing not far away waving to them.

These girls who took the exam have a high chance of being admitted and becoming students of the women's school, and also become classmates of their masters and relatives. Therefore, the people waiting outside seem to be more qualified than when they entered the kindergarten.

Xi, Xu Xue came this way, everyone made way for the two of them to pass, and smiled to show their goodwill.

Xu Xi guessed that the exam was not over yet, and maybe there were still examiners outside the park observing their every word and deed. She thanked those who gave way, and then secretly signaled to Xu Xue, who quickly followed suit, and the two of them thanked each other all the way.

Walked to Xu Yongyi's side.

"How did you do in the exam?" Xu Yongyi asked.

Xu Xi shook his head: "I don't know yet. I'm waiting for the gentlemen to mark the papers. The results will be released tomorrow." She added, "Uncle, let's go back quickly."

"Okay." Xu Yongyi took the two of them out, hired a mule cart on the street, and drove home. Because he didn't know how long they would have to wait for the exam, Xu Yongyi did not ask the villagers who drove the mule cart to wait for them.

In the car, Xu Xue wanted to show the sign to her father, but Xu Xi pulled her back and said, "We'll look at it when we get home."

When she took the sign, she took a look at it. It was made of wood, with some patterns and the three characters "Enter and Exit Sign" carved on it. There was no other content. The woman who guarded the gate also said that this sign was for entering and exiting the garden after admission.

of credentials.

If you lose it, not only will you not be admitted, but you may also be punished. After all, it will bring safety risks to the garden. Therefore, you must keep this sign carefully during these three days to be careful not to make any mistakes.

This was also the reason why she didn't stay on the street longer and rushed home immediately. No matter whether anyone came or left the Suiping Hou Mansion today, she had to face what she should face.

…

Let's talk about Xiaorong Village. As early as an hour and a half ago, three carriages with the Suiping Marquis Mansion logo slowly drove into the village, attracting the children in Xiaorong Village to follow the carriages. After a while, those who like to watch the excitement slowly drove into the village.

The adults also rushed outside Xu Yongyi's house one after another and surrounded the Xu family's house three floors inside and three floors outside.

Everyone ate a lot of melons yesterday. There was little fun in rural areas in ancient times. Yesterday’s performance was even more exciting than the Chinese New Year opera. With the gossip, everyone even skipped meals last night. Today’s melons are naturally not tolerated.

miss.

Wei was forced to come to pick up Xu Xi, and she was angry at first. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but cursed: "What the hell is this place? It's so dirty and smelly." She then ordered the guards outside,

"Kick people away."

Zhao Yuanliang glanced at Wei with a dark face, turned to the guard and said, "Speak well and don't conflict with others. Just stop them and don't let them get close."

When Ms. Wei saw her husband flirting with her, she raised her eyebrows and wanted to argue with him. But when she saw her husband's cold gaze, she felt a chill in her heart and reluctantly closed her mouth.

The Wei family was a direct descendant, but when she got married, her father was only a fifth-rank official and came from a poor family. The dozen or so members of the family depended on Wei's father's salary, not to mention the financial difficulties. When she got married, the dowry was not much.

Decent.

When they got married, the Suiping Marquis Mansion was still the Duke's Mansion. The old Duke was seriously ill, and Zhao Yuanliang himself was not very capable and was still a commoner. It was really difficult to marry a good girl from an honorable family. He looked at Wei's father

She was particularly good at maneuvering, and seemed to be someone who could be promoted. Wei was also pretty, so she came to ask for her hand in marriage.

Although the old Duke was seriously ill at that time, the Duke's Mansion was not in decline as it is now. Besides, a lean camel was bigger than a horse. No matter how declining the Duke's Mansion was, he still lived in a big house, had fields and some shops in his name.

, wear gold and silver, have slaves and call maids, and are well-fed and clothed, they are a hundred times better than the Wei family.

Besides, marrying a girl to a distinguished family is also a matter of great dignity.

Therefore, as soon as Zhao Yuanliang came to propose marriage, the Wei family readily agreed and married the Wei family.

I have to say that although Zhao Yuanliang was not very capable, his vision was still good. Things turned out as he expected. Wei's father slowly climbed up the ladder and was now a third-rank official. As he gained power, the family

Life has gradually become more comfortable, and now life is no worse than in the Hou Mansion.

On the other hand, the Duke's Mansion was downgraded to a Marquis' Mansion after the death of the old Duke. And due to the incompetence of the younger generation, the family was left with little to gain and gradually fell into decline.

Under this situation, Mrs. Wei started to tremble because she was a humble person in front of her husband. She usually argued with Zhao Yuanliang about anything he said. Zhao Yuanliang hoped that his father-in-law could help him find a certain position in the yamen, so he did everything possible.

Forbearing her, Mrs. Wei became more and more confused about her status. If Mrs. Hou had not accumulated so much prestige, and Mrs. Hou Zhu was so powerful, Mrs. Wei would not have been able to walk sideways in the Hou Mansion.

Until it was revealed that she had given birth to the wrong child, Mrs. Hou punished her. Zhao Yuanliang saw that his father-in-law was still refusing to give him a certain position, so he also gave her a cold face. Wei herself felt guilty, so she behaved with her tail between her legs.

Although the people in Xiaorong Village like to eat melons, they are also sensible. Seeing that there are many more guards today than yesterday, and the carriages are more luxurious than yesterday, they know that the identity of the person coming today is not simple. When the guards came to drive them away, everyone did not

When he came forward, everyone followed him from a distance.

In the yard of the Xu family, Ms. Xie had been restless all morning. This uneasiness was all because Xu Xi said before leaving that people from the Hou family might come, so that she could be mentally prepared.

Someone had seen the Marquis's carriage entering the village, and as soon as the carriage stopped, he ran over to tell Mr. Xie.

When Mrs. Xie heard that the people from the Hou Mansion were coming, she felt as if the boots hanging above her head had fallen to the ground, and she felt less uneasy.

She straightened her clothes, thought about it, opened the courtyard door, and sat in the main room to pick up her shoe soles.

Aunt Ruan and Butler Liu came together today, and the driver was also here yesterday, so he was familiar with the road.

Arriving in front of Xu's house, Nanny Ruan got out of the carriage, trotted forward, and said to Zhao Yuanliang and Wei in the car: "Second Master, Second Madam, please go in first and say something."

Aunt Ruan is the favorite person in front of Mrs. Hou. No matter how pretentious Ms. Wei is, she would not dare to show off her authority in front of Aunt Ruan.
