Chapter 47
Before the palace examination, Huang Ze did not go out again.
Although Wang Guangquan sent people to the door many times, they never saw him.
Ye Huan also inquired clearly. In the past eleven years, Wang Guangquan did not have any children, which confirmed her conjecture.
This is a pleasant thing. People like Wang Guangquan are not worthy of children.
When Huang Ze saw Wang Guangquan, he was in the hall of the palace exam.
Although the two did not meet, after entering the hall, Huang Ze spotted Wang Guangquan out of the corner of his eye.
He thought about his mother's words, the palace exam was the most important, and after taking a few deep breaths, he calmed down.
The palace exam was led by the emperor. Huang Ze was young and mature. Although he was only seventeen, he answered fluently and was not at all stage frightened.
"It is said that heroes come from young men, and today I have also experienced it." After the emperor listened to Huang Ze's answer, Longyan Dayue, for the new candidates, to have such a young talent, is full of Huang Ze's future. expect.
The emperor praised his luster, and everyone looked at Huang Ze. Some people were chosen at forty, while others stood in the hall of the palace examination at seventeen. There were many envious people, and some people who wanted to marry.
Ye Huan counted the time and waited outside the mansion when the palace exam was about to end.
Firecrackers have been prepared at home, just waiting for Huang Ze to return.
"Ma'am, my little heart is about to jump out." Butler Laifu walked back and forth in anxiety.
Ye Huan was also a little nervous. Although Huang Ze would definitely win, there was still a difference between the top three and the latter.
At that time, Wang Guangquan was the third flower, no matter what, Huang Ze also wanted to press the third flower.
With Huang Ze's appearance, it is more likely that he will be in the middle of the flower.
"Laifu, don't leave, you'll make me feel uncomfortable too." Ye Huan said softly.
Laifu stopped, craned his neck and looked at the street, "Why haven't you come yet?"
Ye Huan also followed to look on the street, but she knew that it was useless to be impatient. The family had already sent a servant to the gate of the palace to wait. If Huang Ze came back, the servant would come back first to report.
Laifu looked at it, and finally stood on the road, tiptoed to look into the distance.
Ye Huan was also curious, "Laifu, are you here yet?"
"Madam Hui, not yet, this will be nothing... Ah! Madam, Sunja is back!" Laifu suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Ye Huan hurriedly walked out. Seeing Shunzi panting, he hurriedly asked, "How's it going?"
"Gong… Young Master… is back." Shunzi ran back as fast as possible.
"Can you say how many times in the middle?" Ye Huan asked again.
Shunzi shook his head, "I'm afraid you're worried, I ran back after seeing the son. However, the son was riding a horse with a big red flower tied to his chest. It's not bad if you think about it."
Hearing this, Ye Huan felt in his heart. After guessing, the corners of his lips rose uncontrollably, and the cub who had been raised for more than ten years was finally going to be promising.
As time passed, when Ye Huan heard the sound of the gong, he saw a crowd of onlookers, followed by his son on horseback.
Huang Ze dismounted in front of the mansion, walked to Ye Huan, knelt down and salutes with tears in his eyes, and said word by word, "The child greets the mother, thank the mother for her hard work in raising the child, so that we can have today's high school champion."
After speaking, Huang Zelian Knocked three heads.
The servants of the Huang family were shocked when they heard the young master, the champion, and then cheered. The concierge hurriedly distributed wedding candy to the onlookers, and the sound of firecrackers sounded.
The Huang family is full of joy.
Ye Huan lifted Huang Ze excitedly, "Okay, my son has a bright future."
She was so happy, it's not an easy thing to do in junior high school.
Before today, the people nearby only knew that there was a low-key family here, and no one knew who it was, and they didn't have time to inquire.
But now that there is a new champion, many people ask each other if they know who lives here, but no one knows.
When Wang Guangquan arrived at the gate of the Huang Mansion, the firecrackers of the Huang family had been put out, and there were not many people watching the excitement, and the concierge still refused to let him in.
He wanted a son in his heart, but after so many years, he became a crippled person, and it was impossible to have any more children. Now there is an extra son of the champion, Wang Guangquan is very proud, if this is said, it can not only stop the mouths of those people, but also save face.
Huang's mother and son refused to accept him, but he didn't believe it. He was alive and well. If Wang Ze didn't even recognize his father, how could he be worthy of being the champion.
Although he was still refused to meet today, Wang Guangquan was very happy after returning home, and he was served good wine and good food. He wants to have a good drink today.
Jin Zhi found out that something was wrong with Wang Guangquan recently. Although the couple slept apart a long time ago, and they were tired of seeing each other, she usually had nothing to do in the mansion, and she still followed Wang Guangquan's every move.
Seeing Zhuzhu walking in from outside, Jinzhi asked, "Have you checked it out?"
"Go back to Madam, checked it out." Zhuzhu walked over to Jinzhi and said in her ear, "Master, these days, I often go to the Huangfu, my servant. After squatting there for several days, I was almost frightened when I saw the lady of the Huang Mansion. That lady Huang was the original wife of the master."
Jin Zhi's eyes widened, "You won't admit it wrong, right?"
"No. Maybe you're wrong." Zhuzhu affirmed, "the day when you got married, the slave went to help you to spread the word, and deliberately looked at it a few more times, although the person was not so dark, and the complexion was much better. But the facial features are still the same facial features, it is definitely her. That mansion is extraordinarily stylish, not worse than our mansion, and it is still next to Prince Gong's mansion. It is said that the mansion there can be bought for tens of thousands of taels of silver."
"However, the master often goes there, but he has been stopped outside the Huang mansion . ." When Zhuzhu came back, he didn't know Huang Zezhong's champion.
Jin Zhi was too surprised. Although she had never met Ye Huan, she had heard from others that she was a black and thin peasant woman who could not even read a word. How could she buy such an expensive house.
It took a long time for Jin Zhi to slowly recover, and sneered, "At the beginning, Wang Guangquan abandoned his original wife in order to cling to the Jin family, but now the original wife has developed, although he doesn't know how to develop, but if he can buy that house, he must be able to buy that house. There is also a bigger family business. Now that Wang Guangquan wants to recognize his son, how can Huang's mother and son be willing."
Zhuzhu nodded and said yes, "I want to come to Huang's mother and son to hate the master, but now the master has no children and no daughters, he must be I want to recognize Huang's mother and son."
Speaking of which, Zhuzhu couldn't help worrying about her master, if Huang's mother and son came back, what would her master do?
"My father said that although the Huang family was reluctant to leave Wang Guangquan, they were resolute in their separation." Jin Zhi thought for a while, "It's better to meet the mother and son of the Huang family. If they still hate Wang Guangquan, I will be with them. If they want to recognize Wang Guangquan in the slightest, don't blame me for being cruel."
Jin Zhi slowly got up and walked into the inner room, "You go and give Huang a greeting card, and say I invite her to eat at Yuxiang Lou in the city tomorrow. Wine, if she doesn't come, I will come to the door to find her in person."
Zhuzhu nodded and said yes, and immediately went to send the greeting.
And Ye Huan has received a lot of worship posts, Huang Ze won the champion, it is a great event, many people want to come to make friends.
At night, Ye Huan and Huang Ze read worship posts together. Huang Ze took out the Master's recommendation letter, "Sir said, if I can go to high school, I will go to Zhang Hanlin. He said that I have no relatives in the capital. Zhang
Hanlin is his former classmate. He is upright and can make friends."
The house was just north of the Huang Mansion. They didn't bother when they first arrived in the capital, because they were afraid that if Huang Ze didn't pass the exam, it would be like clinging to others. Therefore, Huang Ze's master also explained that he would wait until high school.
"Then go to see Zhang Hanlin tomorrow." Ye Huan said.
"Will my mother not let me go?" Huang Ze asked.
Ye Huan shook her head, holding the adoration note sent by Jinzhi in her hand, "You alone represent the relationship between you and your master, so I don't need to go."
Huang Ze thought that his mother was afraid of embarrassing him, and hurriedly said, "My mother raised me once, my honor is my mother's honor, why should my mother refuse."
"I'm not embarrassed, I just think it's enough to have you at this time. Now, if there is an occasion where I need to attend, I will naturally go." Ye Huan comforted a few words, yawned, and said that he was going to rest.
After Huang Ze left, Ye Huan took out Jinzhi's worship sticker and looked at it again.
After Huang Ze went out the next day, Ye Huan went to Yuxianglou.
When she arrived, Jin Zhi also arrived.
In the private room, the first time the two met, they both showed unexpected expressions.
Ye Huan was surprised by the withered branches of the golden branches. She was originally the wife of a third-rank official, but she looked haggard and her eyes were sunken.
What Jin Zhi was surprised at was Ye Huan's good looks and graceful gestures, which were completely different from what she had imagined.
"You are completely different from what I thought." Jin Zhi said truthfully.
"You too." After Ye Huan sat down, seeing that the food was already on the table, he said directly, "I don't know why Madam Wang invited me out today, why?"
"You are direct, then I will be direct." Jin Zhi Holding the handkerchief, he glanced at Ye Huan, who was on the opposite side, and looked away, "I heard that Wang Guangquan has been looking for you for the past few days, but you have rejected them. Now Wang Guangquan is a third-rank official, and he has been in the capital for eleven years. , if your son can have Wang Guangquan's support, he will definitely rise to the top. I want to know, what do your mother and son think?"
"I don't think so much."
Ye Huan pursed his lips and smiled, "At the time he abandoned his wife and son, and now we too You don't need to rely on him. If Mrs. Wang is worried about us arguing with you, you don't have to. I didn't want Wang Guangquan in the past, and I don't want it now. They all say that a good horse doesn't eat back grass, not to mention that Wang Guangquan is a piece of shit."
" Yes. , I have written down what you said." Jin Zhi picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and was very satisfied with Ye Huan's answer, "To tell you the truth, Wang Guangquan was ruined by me, and he will only have Wang Ze in his life. A son, that's why you keep pestering your mother and son."
"Back then, I didn't know much about the world, so I actually believed Wang Guangquan's nonsense. Now I just want to see him cut off his sons and his grandchildren. I think you are a sensible person, so I will tell you straightly, as long as your son doesn't recognize Wang Guangquan, we won't break the river. But If your son dares to call Wang Guangquan's father, don't blame me for being rude."
"Mrs. Wang can rest assured that my son will not be so spineless." Ye Huan was surprised by Jinzhi's words, thinking that Jinzhi and her would disagree with each other and argue, Unexpected consensus.
Moreover, Ye Huan liked the fact that Jin Zhi ruined Wang Guangquan's life. Jin Zhi in the original work was a bit crazy in the later period, and was forced by Wang Guangquan.
"If Madam Wang has nothing else to do, I will go back first." Ye Huan stood up and said.
"Wait." Jin Zhi couldn't help but look at Ye Huan a few more times, "I'm really curious, why have you changed so much? You are the one who was abandoned, but you are so much better than me. Ye Huan smiled lightly, "
Because I know how to stop losses in time. I also persuaded Mr. Jin back then that Wang Guangquan could abandon me for you, and he might leave you in the future. This kind of man is selfish in his bones, I believe If he will change, he will be confused."
"Mrs. Wang, if you want to change, it's too late. I was abandoned by Wang Guangquan back then, and I am older than you are now. Stop the loss in time to make yourself a better life."
Jin Zhi sat on the chair and waited for Ye Huan to leave. After that, the facial features were suddenly dim and weak.
She smiled blankly, "It's easier said than done to stop the loss in time?"
At first, she insisted on marrying Wang Guangquan, but now that she regrets it, how should her family view her, and how should outsiders view her?
Jin Zhi can't see hope, and now she wants to drag Wang Guangquan to hell.
At the same time, Wang Guangquan blocked Huang Ze at the door of Zhang Hanlin's house.
"Ze'er, I'm your father." Wang Guangquan looked at Huang Ze with tears in his eyes, reached out to hug Huang Ze, but was thrown away by Huang Ze with disgust.
"Lord Wang, please respect yourself." Huang Ze frowned slightly, his eyes could not see clearly, "I have no relationship with you for a long time."
"How can it be okay?" Wang Guangquan said excitedly, "I am Your father, you are my son, and we have a relationship that blood is thicker than water!"
"Ze'er, now you are the champion in high school, I am very happy for you. But the champion is just the beginning of your career in officialdom, you need someone to advise you. , to help you."
"If you are willing to come back to me, I can give you the best connections, help you find the best girl in the family to be your wife, and the property of the Wang family is all yours!"
Wang Guangquan Yue The more excited he said, looking at the handsome son in front of him, excited and happy, isn't this a gift from God.
Huang Ze was disgusted, "I don't want anything you said. You have your property, and I have a bottom line that I can't let go of. When you signed and left the book with your mother, you clearly said you didn't want me. I don't need a father like this."
Seeing that people around him gradually stopped to look at him, Huang Ze bypassed Wang Guangquan and strode forward. I don't want others to know about his relationship with Wang Guangquan.
Wang Guangquan finally saw his son and refused to give up. He chased after him, "Why are you so stubborn. If I hadn't reconciled with your mother back then, would I have been today?"
"Besides, I didn't say anything. Don't want your mother and son. At that time, your mother pushed too hard, otherwise I would definitely settle your mother and son well. I have been looking for your mother and son for so many years. If your mother was not so decisive, our family of three would have been reunited long ago. It's gone!"
Huang Ze angrily grabbed Wang Guangquan's collar and scolded, "Wang Guangquan, I forbid you to say that about my mother! She is the best mother in the world, and you are the shameless one who throws away your wife and children, and beats her up. It's really strange to have someone like you in the world!"
He let go of Wang Guangquan, and Huang Ze clapped his hands in disgust, "I'll say it for the last time, you're not my father, and I won't recognize you. Since I dared to do it back then If you want a son, find someone else to give birth to, I am not your son, never will be!"
Wang Guangquan was also angry, he glared at Huang Ze and blurted out, "Wang Ze, since ancient times, filial piety has been the first, you even I don't even recognize my biological father. Do you think the emperor can still reuse you?"
After more than ten years of hard study, he was able to show his skills after high school and be able to shine in the officialdom.
However, in order to recognize his son, Wang Guangquan did not hesitate to threaten Huang Ze with filial piety. Huang Ze's fist in his sleeve was already tightened, and his eyes were scarlet staring at Wang Guangquan.
At this moment, he only needs Wang Guangquan to say one more sentence, and he will beat Wang Guangquan to the ground, but at the same time, his reputation will also be bad.
"Ze'er."
Fortunately, the mother's voice made Huang Ze wake up.
When Ye Huan returned to the mansion, he heard from the concierge that Huang Ze hadn't gone back yet. Thinking that it was almost time, he came over to take a look, but Wang Guangquan was also there.
"Ze'er, come here." Ye Huan said hurriedly, fearing that his son would hit someone impulsively.
Only then did Huang Ze walk to his mother's side.
Wang Guangquan's eyes shifted to Ye Huan, and he was surprised again. Eleven years later, Ye Huan didn't look old, but his skin was better.
In the past, Ye Huan worked in the fields every day, and her skin was tanned and dry, and she didn't look like a woman, but now Ye Huan's complexion is white and red, and although there are light fine lines at the end of her eyes, it is even more charming.
"Dongmei." Wang Guangquan called out Ye Huan's boudoir name.
Huang Ze immediately turned his head, but Ye Huan grabbed his wrist.
On the street, Wang Guangquan is an official of the imperial court. If Huang Ze hits Wang Guangquan, his future will be lost.
Ye Huan took two steps forward, looked at Wang Guangquan and said, "Master Wang, I still keep the letter of reconciliation and guarantee you wrote back then. You can't just pick up a son for nothing when you see that your son is promising. , that's too shameless."
"What's a white pick up son?" Wang Guangquan just wanted to scold someone, but thinking of his son's tough attitude, he said softly, "Dongmei, we are a husband and wife, even if it's a little unhappy later, but So many years have passed, and it is time to let the future pass. And we are all doing well now, isn't it good?"
Ye Huan looked at Wang Guangquan indifferently, but did not speak, wanting to hear what else Wang Guangquan could say shamelessly if.
"People go to high places. Back then, I was a poor man, and I didn't depend on the Jin family. It's impossible for me to have today's achievements. You have to understand me. Didn't my parents tell you when they left? Treat me well." Wang Guangquan moved out of his parents to press Ye Huan again.
But Ye Huan didn't like him, "It's not a loss for your parents to buy me as a child bride. I help your Wang family work day and night, and I eat less than a cat. Wang Guangquan, I still say that, Don't be too greedy, you have to gain and lose, it's none of my business if you can't give birth to a son later."
After a pause, Ye Huan raised his lips and smiled, "Also, if you dare to go to the imperial court to sue Ze'er, I can also go to the government office and sue you for cheating and marrying another. I want to give you a high look."
Wang Guangquan was naturally reluctant.
He took great pains to achieve the status he is today. Although he has only gone from rank 3 to rank 3 in the past six years, this is also a position that many people cannot achieve in their entire lives.
Wang Guangquan's face was gloomy, and he was calling Dongmei softly just now, but his tone immediately turned cold, "Huang Dongmei, do you really think what happened back then would have any effect on me?
" The champion, if I interfere with this, he will be the most useless champion of the dynasty." Wang Guangquan said harshly, "You have worked hard to cultivate Ze'er for more than ten years, don't you want all your hard work to be lost?"
"I naturally I hope Ze'er will get better and better." Ye Huan sighed, "I'm also very afraid of what you said, but before that, you should think about yourself first."
Before coming to the capital, Ye Huan expected that There is today.
In order for his son to be able to hold office safely, Wang Guangquan must be removed.
Over the years, Ye Huan's restaurant has not opened for nothing.
The restaurant is the place where the news spreads the fastest. Five years ago, Wang Guangquan went to Yongzhou to relieve the disaster. At that time, the disaster killed tens of thousands of people, and the flood washed away countless villages.
However, after Wang Guangquan arrived in Yongzhou, he did not pay attention to disaster relief, but stole some of the money.
At that time, Wang Guangquan was impeached, but because there was no conclusive evidence, and he was quickly suppressed by the Jin family and Wang Guangquan, Wang Guangquan was able to escape. But because of this, Wang Guangquan never climbed up again in the following years.
And it's not just about the disaster relief work in Yongzhou. Since Wang Guangquan was promoted to the third rank, his hands have never been clean.
