Chapter 107: Uncle is not as good as Aunt

Ye Chunqiu, the second young master in the mansion, was not sure about the location of the third house, so he had to hold an oil umbrella and patrol around. This is the case with the landlords in the countryside. Don’t care whether they have money or not, as long as they have land, they can build a big house. This generation has been built. If the next generation has a promising future, they can expand it. If the next generation is not successful, they will stick to their family business. When someone will shine on the lintel, they will inevitably start expanding again.

The Ye family’s poetry and books were passed down from the earliest days to a Emperor Gaozu who passed the Jinshi in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the house has been repaired several times. Although it is not magnificent, it is very large in scale.

Ye Chunqiu finally caught a few people to find out where they were. Finally, he arrived in front of the courtyard of the third bedroom. He called out a few words outside the door: "Uncle San, are you here?"

Someone heard the sound inside, but a woman opened the window. When she saw Ye Chunqiu, she was immediately happy: "Chunqiu, come in and sit down. Juncai, go open the door for your cousin."

Juncai came out quickly and walked through the courtyard in the rain to open the door for Ye Chunqiu. Ye Chunqiu smiled and held an oil umbrella to shelter him from the rain. Ye Juncai looked at Ye Chunqiu, feeling sad. He has become a scholar now. He thinks he beat the little kid if he wants to beat him. But although Juncai is big and six, he has been influenced by his third aunt for a long time, he has also had some tricks. He immediately squeezed out his smile and said friendly: "Hello, second brother."

Ye Chunqiu wanted to reach out and touch his hand, and said good-for-bear, but he still held it back. Damn, this kid is a wolf dog. Don’t look at the harmlessness of people and animals now. If you really want to provoke him, who knows whether he will chase him to Hedong from here?

He walked through the courtyard with Ye Juncai with a smile. Aunt San was already waiting on the porch. Even Uncle San came out of another room. Ye Bo was not good at socializing with others. He just laughed a few times. He always looked lazy.

But the third aunt waved to Ye Chunqiu: "I always heard that you were coming back, but I always saw no one. Alas... It's true that you are still young and are away from home. My aunt has been worried. Come in quickly." As she said that, she asked the maid to go to pour tea.

Ye Chunqiu entered the house. The three bedrooms are much brighter than the big ones, especially the small hall, which is decorated quite elegantly. At first glance, this three aunt is a person who can live a life.

Aunt San asked Ye Chunqiu to sit down, and while talking about many parents.

Ye Bai had no choice but to come over. Now is different from the past. If Ye Chunqiu had come in the past, at most, Aunt San would just ask him to come in front of him and say a few family matters. Ye Bai would definitely not come forward if he usually hides in the room. However, Ye Chunqiu knew that if this third uncle dared to neglect him, Aunt San would definitely beat him to death without hesitation. Aunt San's Hedong Lion Roar is also well-known in the Ye family.

Ye Chunqiu was sweet-mouthed, and Aunt San smiled and couldn't stop smiling. Next, it was a traditional project. He glanced at Ye Juncai and scolded: "Look at Chunqiu, he is well-educated and willing to make progress. Now he is a scholar. You foodie, you know how to eat."

Ye Juncai had to turn his face aside, looking heartless.

Uncle San said happily: "Ah... there is a guest here, why are you scolding him for doing..." As a result, Aunt San glared at him fiercely and he fell silent.

Ye Chunqiu looked at it a little cold, so he smiled and said, "Aunt San, actually Chunqiu is here to ask Uncle San to help me."

This... the third aunt smiled. Ye Chunqiu actually has no big relationship with the Ye family. He only led the Ye family half a year ago. It would be fake to say that there is any family affection, but it is impossible to resist the success of Chunqiu. She heard the women in Hexi talk about it. In the spring and autumn, there is Sanyuan, and Fenghua County can't produce one for hundreds of years. With this scholar's fame, he will have no worries for the rest of his life. If he has the chance in the future, even if he just won a single achievement, it would be amazing.

Her husband is the third brother and is not very successful. Most of the time, she puts her hope on Ye Juncai. Juncai is not the eldest son. If he is like his father, he will have to rely on his family to help him in the end. The second brother is staring at his acre of three-point land every day. He will have to fight his own life if anyone has the idea of ​​him. Otherwise, why would he be so irresistible with the big house? If Juncai counts on the second house, it would be a tiger's mouth to seize food. But if Chunqiu's cousin takes care of him in the future, he might have a way out.

She was not afraid that Ye Chunqiu would not ask for her, but she was afraid that Ye Chunqiu had nothing to ask for. What is human favor? I will give you some favors. In the future, you will give me some. After you come and go a few times, it gradually became inseparable. She smiled and said, "Chunqiu, your mother died early and followed your father since she was a child. If you have any difficulties, just say it."

Ye Chunqiu did not hesitate: "When I came back, I brought back three hundred taels of silver and wanted to ask Uncle San to come forward and buy some things."

Three hundred taels, Ye Bai and Aunt San were both scared. This is not a small amount. Where did Ye Chunqiu get such a large amount of money?

It was obviously difficult to ask about these things. Before Ye Bai could speak, Aunt San said, "It's easy to say, but it's just a simple task. He is your uncle, so it's just a matter of helping you."

Ye Chunqiu came out of the third room, but the rain outside stopped rarely, as if God was doing it, and the sun actually showed its corners from the clouds. Ye Chunqiu did not stop and turned to the yard where the old lady lived.

Since he came back, it was natural to see the old lady. When the old lady heard that Ye Chunqiu was back, she was overjoyed and hurriedly asked Ye Chunqiu to go into the hall to speak. Ye Chunqiu bowed politely and asked her.

The old lady nodded repeatedly: "Okay, very good, I can't miss you." As she said that, she asked some things about Ye Chunqiu in Ningbo.

Ye Chunqiu said lightly: "The grandson is still good in Ningbo. He studies every day and dare not slackew."

The old lady stroked her long beard and smiled: "Yes, you should study hard. The next year will be a provincial examination. Although you are a scholar now, your official body is still white. It depends on this leap."

If you pass the provincial examination and become a juren, if your grades are good, you can choose to become an official. This means you have a chance to guarantee it. If you can't pass the Jinshi, you can go to the Ministry of Personnel to participate in the selection of officials. Then Zhou Zhuzhu is a juren. Although the juren has no future in the officialdom, and most of the official positions he has given are humble, it is also a way out.

Ye Chunqiu smiled with a pursed lips: "Grandson should work hard and strive for the best." He raised his eyes and looked at the old lady, and then said casually: "Big Father, grandson has something to ask for."
