King Yin opened the curtain and looked in the direction of Qiao Wei. At this time, the carriage was staggered with Qiao Wei. He only saw a poor figure.

"What's the matter, Lord?" Looking at his strange look, eunuch Liu asked carefully.

He put down the curtain: "it's nothing. I've got the wrong person."

Even though she was expelled from her home, Qiao's family gave her a large amount of money to settle down, but she would not be in such a predicament. She must have heard it wrong.

Qiao Wei checked the child up and down, and found that there was nothing wrong except some bruises on the palm of her hand, but the child was so delicate that she burst into tears in pain. She thought her son's knee was swollen like steamed bread, and he was still dancing on the ground.

"Come on, little man, don't cry!"

The little boy was obedient. He sniffed and stopped crying.

Jovi wiped the dust on his face with a handkerchief: "Why are you here alone? What about your parents? "

He said, "I came out with the housekeeper and mother Wang. I'm separated from them."

"Young master! Young master A well-dressed middle-aged mother ran over, hugged the lost young master and cried out, "I finally found you! I'm scared to death! "

The young master shrugged uneasily and said to her, "mother Wang, I just fell into the street. It was this elder sister who saved me."

Mother Wang quickly wiped her tears, turned to Qiao Wei and said, "thank you for saving her life -"

before she finished, she saw each other's face clearly, and then she froze.

……

Qiaofu, qingheyuan.

Qiao Yuxi sat in the room, practicing embroidery with her mother Xu. She cut the thread and handed over her embroidery: "mother, what do you think of my embroidery?"

Xu took her daughter's embroidery, showing a satisfied look: "yes, this pair of mandarin ducks embroidered lifelike, much better than last month."

Qiao Yuxi was overjoyed: "I'll make a purse for master Mingxiu."

"Well." Xu Shi nods, "adult there, you can go up dim sum, strive to pass the door as soon as possible."

She also wants to get married as soon as possible. In her dreams, she wants to be the prime minister's wife and love her husband and wife. But she doesn't mention marrying her. What can she do? It's hard to pull down your face and take the initiative to ask him when to marry her?

"Mother, my Lord, he Don't you like me? " Qiao Yuxi lowered his head and asked.

Xu put down the embroidery and lovingly touched her face: "silly boy, you are so beautiful and smart. Who can't be attracted to you?"

Qiao Yuxi remembered that he hadn't seen Ji Mingxiu for a whole month, so he couldn't help biting his lip: "but, my Lord, he..."

Xu said: "he is a cold-blooded man. You don't have to worry about him. Just try to serve the old lady well and make no mistakes. Our marriage to the prime minister's mansion was decided by the former queen when she was alive. What if he doesn't move his heart? I don't have to marry you as well. "

Qiao Yuxi frowned: "even so, I still hope that adults really want to marry me."

Xu said with a smile, "of course he is sincere."

If her daughter had not grown up in the Taoist temple, she would have been famous in the capital, and the suitors would have broken the threshold of Qiao's family.

No matter how noble the prime minister is, he is also a man. A man likes a gentle and beautiful woman.

"Madame! Madame Outside the door, mother Wang's anxious voice suddenly rang out.

Xu patted her daughter's hand and gave her a happy smile: "it's your brother who signed up to come back."

But mother Wang went into the house alone.

Xu looked at her strangely: "where's Yuqi?"

"The young master met the second young master in the garden. They went to play together." Mother Wang said, and took out from her arms a pair of cards with the official seal and a piece of paper, and presented it to Xu, "the young master has finished his name."

Xu's card and document income brocade box lock, see mother Wang does not go, and said: "what else?"

Mother Wang hesitated for a moment and said, "maidservant I saw the first lady today

Xu said jokingly, "isn't the eldest lady here? What are you talking about Wait, who did you say you saw? "

Xu's look slowly cooled down.

Mother Wang said in a trembling voice: "big Miss... "

Xu's squint: "big room?"

Mother Wang nodded!

"Who, mother?" There is a trace of confusion in Qiao Yuxi's beautiful eyes.

Xu's light voice way: "your big room elder sister."

Qiao Yuxi's eyebrows jumped: "isn't she already left the capital? Why are you back? "

She also heard about the elder sister. She knew that she had an engagement with the prime minister's office, but she was entangled with his royal highness King Yin. The night before the engagement, she climbed into his royal highness King Yin's bed. This matter was so well known that she lost all the face of Uncle's office.

If it wasn't for the marriage between the two families, the prime minister's office would have turned a blind eye to the Qiao family!

"Mother Wang, are you sure it's the eldest sister? Will you admit your mistake? " She asked, frowning.Mother Wang said, "although she is very shabby, she will not admit her mistake. Guess Is she not doing well outside and coming back to us again? "

Qiao Yuxi was in a hurry. He hugged Xu's arm and begged: "mother, give her some silver and send her away! Don't let her destroy my marriage with master Mingxiu! "

Xu sneered: "she's a broken shoe. What's her qualification to compete with you for marriage? She thought she was the Qiao's eldest lady? Don't dream about her. The prime minister is yours. No one can rob her! "Mother Wang."

Mother Wang Fu lowered herself: "madam."

"Where did you meet her?" Xu asked deeply.

Mother Wang said, "in Chang'an Street, the young master said that she also went to sign up for the child prodigy test."

Xu's look: "she has a child?"

Mother Wang said, "this I didn't see it. I'm afraid she'll recognize me. I'll take the young master and go away. "

Qiao Yuxi shook Xu's arm and said, "Niang --"

Xu patted her hand: "don't worry, since she is here to register, she will appear on the day of the exam. You can find out what medicine she sells in the gourd."

……

Qiao Wei took the children to find Xiaowu and ate three bowls of beef noodles and two bowls of mutton dumplings in a nearby noodle shop. It cost her 500 Wen. It's killing her.

Don't force her to sell preserved eggs for 500 Wen one day!

"I thought the registration fee was very expensive, but after eating noodles, I thought it was cheap." Ah Sheng said with emotion. He studied in a private school in the town, and a month's training was only two liang silver, but a meal in the capital was about that price.

All around are people who have come all the way to sign up, such as Qiao Wei. They are so shabby that there are really few.

Qiao Wei and her family are not far from the capital. They can go back today and take the exam at the end of the month. But if they are from other places, they will have to live in the capital. With the consumption level of the capital, the poor can't afford it.

Strange eyes cast at Qiao Wei and others.

Qiao Wei doesn't pay attention. After Xiao Wu and the children are full, she checks out and leaves the noodle shop.

After waiting in line for an afternoon, Qiao Wei finally got the entrance examination papers for the three children, which were written with the child's name, age, examination room and seat number, a bit similar to the modern admission certificate.
