Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

Chapter 218 Passed the exam, the imperial decree has arrived?

"Jinghan, how did you do in the exam? My parents told me that you had passed the exam when you took the children's exam, otherwise I would definitely go to help you out."

Ling Chenggui also swept away his previous restraint, and happily grabbed his hand. The uncle and nephew were not much different in age, and they were a bit like brothers. Ling Wang also raised a rare smile, stepped forward and said: "Chenggui is back. Ah, sit down and have a sip of hot tea, this is the good tea that Jingxuan entrusted someone to bring back from the state capital, even the second sister-in-law can't drink it to the bottom, you just happened to give it to the second sister-in-law."

"Hey, thank you, second sister-in-law."

Ling Chenggui nodded happily, and sat down with Ling Jinghan. Ling Chenglong also called Lizheng to wait for someone to sit down on the chair next to him. Now, the main seat and the middle seat are not their turn. Of course, they also Just don't dare to have an opinion, because of the opening of the free school, this family has become a great benefactor of several nearby villages, who can see that they are not respectful?They didn't dare to put on airs with him anymore.

"Please!" Ling Yun went up to pour him a cup of tea, Ling Chenggui couldn't help but blushed, Ling Jingxuan who was opposite was greatly surprised, and stretched out his hand for a gesture of please.

"Oh, good, good"

After all unfamiliar, Ling Chenggui inevitably became cautious again, Ling Jingxuan laughed to himself, and simply walked away, allowing him to chat with Jinghan Jingpeng, these people had lunch at Yuehua Villa, after noon, everyone couldn't help but wait a little Anxious, Ling Chenglong and his wife looked out frequently, unable to sit still.

"Master, ma'am, hit, hit..."

When she was about to see through, Song Yang ran in from the outside panting, and without paying attention to salute, she happily said to them: "Congratulations, Mrs. Master, the second master has passed the exam, and the second master has passed the exam."

"real?!"

Ling Wang stood up excitedly, and accidentally knocked over the tea on the table, but she didn't notice that other people were also excited, especially the two elders of the Wang family, whose grandson passed the exam.

"Congratulations, Jinghan is really capable."

"congratulations!"

"You guys are really capable in this house, second child, congratulations!"

"Brother-in-law and sister, congratulations, Jinghan, great job!"

Everyone in the room was full of congratulations, and the servants of the family also came first and then came up to kowtow to congratulate them. For a while, the whole main room was very lively, but no one noticed. Compared with others, the person involved Ling Jinghan But he was not excited at all, and even a little disappointed. Song Yang said he passed the exam, not No.1, which was different from his expectations.

"What about Lao Song, why hasn't he come in yet?"

Glancing at his younger brother who was obviously not quite right, Ling Jingxuan suddenly asked, the moment he opened his mouth, the whole room fell silent, and Song Yang remembered something, and hurried forward and said, "I almost forgot, it was Xin who came to announce the good news. One of Yuan’s buddies, he said that the magistrate of the county came with many officials in person, and I didn’t understand what he said to announce, let’s prepare.”

"Oops, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Ling Jingxuan's face darkened, and he stood up abruptly: "Father, aunt, take your grandparents down and change into new clothes, the emperor's imperial decree is coming soon, Shui Sheng, you go to the school and take the young master and the others over, Shui Linger , you go to Brother Han and Yang Zi, and ask them to change their clothes and come here, Zheng Da, on Tuesday, hurry up and lay out the livestock tribute I prepared, remember, the middle of the altar should be cleared for the imperial decree."

After a series of orders, except for the brothers Ling Jinghan who had known for a long time, everyone else was a little bit stupid and couldn't respond. After a long time, Ling Chenglong stammered: "Jing... Jingxuan... What the hell is this?" What's the matter?"

Why did another imperial decree come out all of a sudden?They were all so frightened that their legs went limp and they couldn't move at all.

"Father, let's talk about this later. You should hurry up and get ready. You must wash your body and take a bath after receiving the imperial decree. Ling Yun, Xiaosui, you go and help Madam and the others to dress up."

He didn't tell them at first, just because he didn't want them to be afraid. Originally, he planned to tell them after the results were released today, but he didn't expect... Damn it, why didn't he come sooner or later, why did he come at this time?

"Yes!"

After all, Ling Yun came from a big family, and he was much more stable than others. In addition, Zheng and Lan also came back to their senses. A group of sisters surrounded Wang Sun and Ling Wang and left the main room. Ling Chenglong and Mr. Wang They also went back to the room to change clothes under the leadership of Ling Jinghan brothers. Li Zheng was waiting for someone to stand awkwardly in the main room, either to leave or to stay, these people, they have never seen what the imperial decree looks like in their entire lives, so naturally they want to stay. They came down feeling happy, although they were full of doubts, wondering why Ling Jingxuan was so capable, even the emperor knew about him, but now is obviously not the best time to ask.

"Jingxuan, look at us..."

After receiving hints from the elders in the clan, Lizheng had no choice but to step forward. Ling Jingxuan turned around and glanced at them. He originally wanted to ask them to leave. After all, he was no longer in the Ling's ancestral hall. The members of the Ling family, the imperial edict is for him, so he naturally has the right not to let them receive the imperial edict together, but when he glanced at the cautious little white rabbit next to him, he thought about how kind he was to Jinghan, and the order to expel guests He swallowed again: "Everyone, please go back and take a shower and change your clothes. If you delay the emperor's imperial decree, you will be beheaded."

"Yes, yes, let's go back quickly."

Hearing this, Li Zheng knew that they all had a share, so he hurriedly called them out. Ling Jingxuan shook his head helplessly, and turned around to see Yuan Shaoqi still standing there. you?"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Yuan Shaoqi's eyes widened suddenly, and he remembered Yan Shengrui's identity again, with a little relief in his eyes: "Since you know my identity, why did you keep me here? Are you not afraid that if you take me in, you will offend the Duke?"

Every time he fled in the past, he was tipped off by those officials, so this time he chose to go to the countryside. What he didn't expect was that he would meet the famous Sheng Sheng in this kind of place where the birds don't shit and the turtles don't go ashore. The prince even ran to the mansion that seemed to be his concubine by accident. If Ling Jingxuan had told him earlier, he might have already run away. However, even if the Duke came in person, he would have to wait Gone, because he found a rare treasure here, and he had to find a way to bring it back no matter what.

"You signed a five-year contract of selling yourself to me. It's as simple as that. The Duke's Mansion has to be reasonable."

Ling Jingxuan put his hands behind his back, acting as if it was a matter of course, Yuan Shaoqi was stunned for a moment, and burst out laughing: "I finally know why he hid you, and why a battlefield killer would become a entanglement for you. Your fingers are soft, Ling Jingxuan, you really have something extraordinary."

How can ordinary people look down on the Duke's Mansion like him?There are not many Dukes in the world who are ranked among the three princes and nine princes by virtue of their military exploits. "I'm sorry, it's nothing compared to you. You haven't answered my question yet."

I don't want to waste time with him on this kind of thing, he still has to prepare for the order, and Xiao Baozi and the others may come back soon.

"Since you already know my identity, you must also know that I am just a concubine. How can I have the opportunity to meet people in the palace?"

Yuan Shaoqi shrugged mockingly. Many people in the capital knew that the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion had a son born outside the family, and he might inherit the title of the Duke's Mansion in the future, but few people knew him, let alone the son in the palace. The nobles.

"Well, I'll leave it to you to reward the red envelopes. You should know how to do it, right?"

Nodding his head, Ling Jingxuan was not polite to him, the eunuch who delivered the decree and the officials and soldiers who escorted them all wanted to give red envelopes, and he didn't know the exact amount. He originally wanted to ask Yan Si to ask, but now he can save it decisively. Even if you don't do anything, it's impossible for the son of the Duke's mansion not to know such basic things.

"no problem."

"Then leave it to you."

After finishing speaking, Ling Jingxuan turned around. Yuan Shaoqi watched his back disappear from sight before he went to work on himself with a chuckle. Sure enough, everyone in this family is very interesting, but the most interesting one is Jinghan, who has a black belly at the age of 14 Calmness, in just two days, he caused a lot of stumbling blocks and added countless joys to his life. For such an interesting person, he would be too sorry for himself if he didn't abduct him and become his daughter-in-law.

It's just that he seems to have forgotten to ask our family Jinghan's opinion, right?Besides, there is a prince and concubine backing her back. It is probably a dream come true for him to abduct a daughter-in-law back easily.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the news that Ling Jinghan passed the exam and that Ling Jingxuan's family was about to come spread throughout Lingjia Village. Many villagers couldn't help but came to watch, but as before, they didn't dare to get too close. The current Ling Jingxuan can't be contaminated by them. Didn't you see that the old scholar's family was almost ruined by him?Now that even the imperial decree of the emperor has arrived, Yuehua Villa will be very different in the future. The imperial decree of the emperor is such an honor, even those wives who like to gossip behind their backs don’t Dare to talk about them again, this time, they don't even have the heart of jealousy, such a family, why are they jealous?

"Brother, you really did something wrong this time. Look, Jinghan recovered from his illness. He passed Tongsheng in the first exam. Maybe he will be admitted to Xiucai and Juren in the next year. I can hear it." Zhang Juren from Hanling Academy said that Jinghan is very good at writing, and now even the imperial decree has arrived at their home. In just half a year, Jingxuan, who was once looked down upon by us, has also earned such a large family fortune. I heard that Jingpeng is also learning how to run a business, and the business of the family will be handed over to him in the future, tell me, what a wonderful child, they are all grandchildren of our own relatives."

While Li Zheng was overjoyed, he didn't forget to go to Lao Ling's house to announce the good news. The old lady who finally recovered from her illness rolled her eyes with anger, and the old man was also angry, but he was angry with himself, if he hadn't been overly partial to the eldest room three Fang, letting the old woman hurt the heart of the second child's family, how did they come to this point?

"Ahem...you understand what you said, but it's too late, second child, you can get closer to them if you can, I don't have the energy to repair the rift between us."

After finishing speaking, the old man closed his eyes in pain, why didn't he want to recognize them?However, every time he thought of this, he couldn't help but recall what he had done in the past, he didn't have that old face to ask them for anything.

"Father, what are you talking about? The second child is always your own son and our own brother, so what if he went out independently? We are relatives with broken bones and tendons, so he really doesn't care about it." What a big deal it is to receive the imperial decree, and he didn't even think about notifying us, it's simply too much."

Ling Chengcai, who had been eavesdropping outside for a long time, rushed in quickly. Seeing the indignant expression on his face, people who don't know the inside story may think that Ling Chenglong is a disobedient and unfilial person.

"You, you, you... you scoundrel, get out of here! If you hadn't lied to me back then, telling me that Jingxuan deliberately told shopkeeper Zhao that that bastard Ling Jingwei was barren, how could I have felt sorry for them? Dissatisfied with life? Why did you drive them to a dead end? Why didn't you say he was your brother at that time? Get out, get out!"

The old man was furious when he heard the words, pointed at him with wide eyes and yelled at him, Ling Qicai also kept frowning, is this boss stunned?Does he still want to play with the second child's family?

"Hmph, Dad, you don't think about this family, but as the eldest son, I have to do something. Since Dad can't get up, I will take care of the order."

After finishing speaking, Ling Chengcai walked away ignoring the old man's anger. The old man was so angry that he fell on the bed out of breath.

"Jingzhang, look at your father a little bit, I'll go and have a look, receiving the decree is no small matter, if you offend Shengwei, everyone in our village will be buried with him."

After a few simple instructions, Ling Qicai hurriedly chased him out, regretful in his heart, his relationship with Jingxuan was finally repaired, and he was willing to hire the villagers to work, many people were grateful to them, If Ling Chengcai made a fuss again, they...Ling Qicai didn't dare to let himself continue thinking, and the movements of his feet became much faster.
