MTL - The Male Lead Doesn’t Cooperate-Chapter 59 Exam episode 1
Aunt Li never dreamed that her son would be so promising. Before he could win the championship, he passed the Tanhua exam. Thinking of the envious eyes of everyone, her eyes were moist. unwilling.
Even after being favored by the old Hou Ye, that reluctance became a wish. Every time she saw her son and daughter calling Yang's mother and could only call her aunt, she felt uncomfortable, and she knew it was a feeling of unwillingness.
Now that her son is promising, she, Li Chunhong, a country girl, even if she became the concubine of the Marquis Mansion, didn't smooth out the unwillingness in her heart.
She is content to have such a son that everyone envies.
She began to be grateful to Lord Hou, without him, there would be neither Song Cun nor the current Li Chunhong.
Thinking about how old Hou Ye had been worrying about Song Cun when he was alive, if he was still alive, he would be so relieved to see Song Cun being so promising, he would definitely raise his beard to show off to others how promising his son is.
What Aunt Li didn't think of, Yang didn't think of it either. Over the years, Song Que said he was Lord Hou, but he never found any job. Old Lord Hou passed away too suddenly, so no arrangements were made for him. , the Yemeni family is empty, and it is not the same as when his father was there.
The six sons of the old Hou Ye never thought that Song Cun, who was doted on by the old Hou Ye and was innocent and ignorant of the world, would be the most promising. There are not many people in the class to talk about, and the signs of decline have already appeared.
All the children in the family have to study, but no one pays much attention to it. At most, there are no Juren, even Jinshi, and now there is a Tanhua.
If there is no separation, Song Cun is the prostitute of the Hou family, and the Hou family produces a capable son, then the decline of the Hou family will naturally be broken.
At this time, Yang also knew his son's difficulties in his heart. If he had known that Song Cun was so promising, he shouldn't have separated the family. It's too late now.
Patriarch Song stood up abruptly when he knew that Tanhua was awarded the sixth rank compilation in Song Cunkao. He greeted a group of clansmen and went to Hou's mansion.
Yang looked at this group of clansmen and understood their purpose in her heart. She was bitter in her heart. The concubine is strong and the legitimate son is weak. Even if she is a mother, she has to compromise for the sake of her son. She is so helpless, but this is how people live. , There will always be compromises because of various things.
The head of the Song family, with a long beard, said: "Our Song family has finally produced a talented son. When we separated, we treated that child badly."
Song Cun has been compiling from Liupin in the Hanlin Academy, so don’t look down on a compiling from Liupin. There is a saying that "non-jinshi does not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet."
The Hanlin Academy is not something that anyone can enter if they want to. Song Cun's ability to enter is enough to show his own talent and the importance the emperor attaches to him. In previous years, all the probing talents started from the editing and editing of the seventh rank.
Regardless of the legitimate son and the concubine, any child who can add luster to the family cannot be treated badly, let alone a person with a bright future who may bring earth-shaking changes to the Song family. Any relationship, even with the son of one's own family, will not last long if there is no interest link.
Yang smiled wryly, who made her son not as promising as Song Cun? She said: "Song Cun suddenly stepped into the officialdom, and many places need to be taken care of. Take twenty thousand taels of silver from my dowry and give him. He is also my son. I can't just think about Song Que, I have to think about him too."
She doesn't lack money, what she lacks is a capable son, how much she once hated Song Cun, now she regrets it.
Song Que's wife, Liu Shi, was sitting below, with a dull smile on her face, but she kept slandering her in her heart. What she said was nice, Song Cun was promising, but it was your son. Song Cun thought about it, and he was not afraid of other bastards' opinions.
The Patriarch Song has always been in Mu Qiang's heart, whoever stands strong, when Song Que was arguing about the separation of the family, he was able to stand on the side of Lichu, and now he can stand on Song Cun's side because of Song Cun's admission to Tanhua, and hear Yang's He nodded in satisfaction: "That's right. We can't just ask you to pay the money, our clan has also pooled 20,000 silver, let's send it to him as well."
Song Que smiled and said, "I'm his second brother. He passed the exam and became an editor, so he can't just say nothing. Send him some of the antiques and treasures at home. These are all gifts."
Entering the officialdom is more about socializing and entertaining. If the treasures of several generations of the Hou Mansion can help Song Cun, he doesn't mind taking out some of these treasures. is important.
Song Cun looked at the banknotes and the collection of antiques in front of him, looked at his second brother and a group of clansmen and asked, "What is this for?"
The Song patriarch said with a smile: "Although you have separated, you are still the Song family. The Song family will not treat their capable sons and daughters badly. This is the entertainment money for you to step into the officialdom."
Song Cun was taken aback, there is such an operation?
Patriarch Song said again: "Your aunt gave 20,000 taels of silver notes from her dowry, and the clan collected 20,000 taels for you. These ornaments are from Lord Hou."
This is something sent by the clan, not corruption and bribery. Song Cun thought for a while about the money delivered to the door, and there was no reason not to accept it. Even if he didn't accept it, wouldn't it be his fault if anything happened to the Song family in the future?
Besides, even after collecting the money, there are some things that he doesn't want to do, and he still won't do them.
But he didn't want the money in vain. He thought for a while and said, "It's hard for a single tree to grow into a forest. There are no wars now, and it's hard to accumulate military merits. When the next generation of the Marquis's family comes, they will be lowered. They want to keep the Song family's prosperity. There is a future for future generations. Reading is a way out. Boys in the family who want to take part in scientific examinations or who are gifted in reading can ask me for advice when they are resting. I will teach everything I can. I have a set of books here. , help them too.”
The patriarch was overjoyed, Tanhua personally taught this to be more useful than other Chengruo, he said with emotion: "You deserve to be able to pass the exam, you really have a big picture."
Song Cun smiled, not paying attention to his compliment.
Today is Xiu Mu, sending off the clansmen, Song Cun originally planned to take his wife and daughter out to play, but Li Mingze never expected to come.
Li Mingze also joined the Hanlin Academy as a seventh-rank editor. He has a more active personality. Working with him, Song Cun had a lot of fun in the boring yamen.
Seeing that Li Mingze brought a food box, he joked, "Do you think I won't give you food if you don't bring the food box?"
Li Mingze smiled embarrassingly, and said with a guilty conscience: "Not really."
Song Cun sat on the stool and looked at him with a smile: "Tell me, what kind of conspiracy is there for coming to the door so frequently?"
I hate marrying my sister the most.
Li Mingze's face was full of embarrassment, talking about conspiracies and tricks was too ugly, he didn't believe that Song Cun didn't know what he wanted to do, he simply said bluntly: "I want to find a matchmaker to come to your house to propose marriage."
Ever since he saw the girl who threw flowers at him at Song's house, he felt like a cat scratching his heart, and couldn't help wanting to visit her, but Brother Song seemed to have discovered his thoughts, and he saw her every time he came. Not seeing anyone made him very distressed.
He used to study hard and achieved some results. He didn't want to get married, and his parents couldn't control him. Thinking about finishing the imperial examination, now that he is an official, and has met a woman he likes, of course he can't wait to marry and go home.
Song Cun sneered, "Why do you marry her?"
Li Mingze was taken aback, and said blankly: "I am a Jinshi of Xinke, and I am also a seventh-rank editor of the Hanlin Academy. Is it okay?"
Song Cun glanced at him: "So what? When I got married, I promised my brother-in-law that I would never take a concubine or marry a house. I wanted to be my sister-in-law. I didn't dare to ask for anything else. Stand shoulder to shoulder with me." That's it."
Li Mingze laughed loudly: "Our family is not fond of taking concubines, so don't accept it. If I mess around, my mother will beat me with a feather duster and make me run around the yard. Do you believe it?"
His parents believed that the concubine's room was the source of the chaos in the family. Although their family had little power in the capital, they also had a lot of power in Huidong Province and had their own family rules. In his opinion, this requirement was not a requirement.
Song Cun: "..."
Why is the smile on that face so annoying?
