Soon, the third round started again, and the number of people who took the exam was obviously much less.

This time, before entering the arena, Xiao Qinglin also said some angry words——

"If the exam questions are so tricky, I won't come in the fourth round."

His voice was not low, and he was a different person from the usually polite and polite him.

Seeing this, Zhou Fei also nodded, and Cheng Xue hurriedly stopped him:

"Being impulsive, don't be angry. No matter what kind of exam questions you find tricky, others will think so. No one is better than the other. As long as you play steadily, you will be fine."

It can be seen that the two of them are in a mess. If they are marching and fighting, it is a big taboo.

Li Hui slapped him alone, said "Let's go", and turned to go in.

In the past, they had to be urged three times and four times before they could leave, but this time the three of them were actually the first batch.

Cheng Xue watched worriedly, and Lian came over and took her arm.

"Sister-in-law, I invite you to the Liyuan, there is a new play over there."

Listen to a play?

Although I'm not in the mood, it's good to go there and see the world.

"Okay, I've been in Beijing for so long, and I haven't heard of an opera yet."

Lien turned her head to call her mother, but she didn't expect that he had already left at some time, which made her very embarrassed.Cheng Xue was happy and relaxed, anyway, she didn't like to deal with Lian's mother, so it was the best way to save trouble.

Take Zhou's family's carriage directly to Liyuan, and put it aside for the time being in the east of the city.

The shop in the east of the city has been fully completed. According to what was agreed earlier, an extra one or two was given when the wages were settled.

Guys, cooks, etc., come to work every day.Threading skewers, wrapping wontons, and rolling noodles are all served by Chuanya on the main street.The five kebab masters are not here, and they went to the other side of the main street to learn on the spot.I believe that when Chengdong opens, they will be able to practice their skills. After all, no one wants to get high wages.

When I came to Liyuan, I thought it was early, but I didn't expect that there was only one private room left on the second floor.

The two followed the waiter upstairs, and Lian ordered several snacks and dried fruits in one go, but Cheng Xue didn't stop her even if she wanted to, and the waiter settled the accounts directly.

"A total of 50 taels."

"How many?!"

Seeing that Cheng Xue was so excited, the buddy hurriedly counted again slowly with his fingers.

"Ma'am, the private seat in the Liyuan is 20 taels, and a set of eight pieces is [-] taels, and..."

After a crackling meal, 50 taels of silver was just right, not too much and not too little.

The mother-in-law took out a 50 tael bank note and handed it over. The man thanked him and took it, then turned and left.

After the door was closed, Cheng Xue frowned slightly and kept shaking her head.

"It's too expensive, it costs 50 taels of silver to listen to a show, why not grab it?"

Although there are a lot of things to order, it doesn't cost 50 taels of silver!
Just this hut, a table, two chairs, less than ten square meters.And the location is far away. It is said that the middle location is more expensive. If this is a fifth-rank official, if he doesn't buy anything in a year, he can only come five times.

Lian knew that she was doing it for her own good, but if she wanted to know some news about the scientific examination, she had to spend the money.

He pulled her to sit down and explained in a low voice.After she finished speaking, the waiter brought the things up, Cheng Xue looked at the exquisite things that couldn't be more delicate, and couldn't help but get angry.

Put a small snack on a small plate, and put a few jujubes in the middle of the nine-square grid, and you dare to ask for eight taels of silver.For other desserts such as peach cakes, you can put at most two pieces on a plate. The peach cakes and slot cakes sold in dim sum shops can hold up to four pieces in front of you.

If she didn't hear the news that she should have, she really felt that this place was a scam.

Suppressing my temper and watching the show, the play was messed up, crying, full of slots, and illogical.The dim sum on the table was getting worse and worse, either too greasy or too sweet.

Pine nuts and hazelnuts have lost oil, which affects the taste.The melon seeds are still wet, not worth the price.As for inquiring about news... Hehe, not at all.

"Just these junk things, can we get the money back later?"

If someone else said this, Lian would definitely roll his eyes immediately, but this one in front of him can't.And they really do it for her own good, and don't want her to waste money.

"Forget about sister-in-law, just take it as a lesson, I am also in a hurry to go to the doctor."

"Why forget it?" Cheng Xue frowned, and said in a low voice, "Don't you think it's a loss to buy these inedible things for 50 taels of silver?"

"I don't think there is anything I can do about it. Who told us to take the initiative! This pear garden was opened by the Eighth Prince, so we can't make trouble."

Hearing what she said, Cheng Xue nodded with a sneer and didn't speak any more.

It turns out that the boss behind the scenes is a relative of the emperor, so what's the point? I think I'm unlucky, and this pear garden will be blacklisted in the future, and I will never come here.

The four of them went downstairs to leave, but Lian stopped suddenly, and the mother-in-law widened her eyes in surprise.

Cheng Xue was fooled by the appearance of the master and the servant. What's going on? Did you see a ghost?

Scanning the main hall on the first floor, she didn't find anything special except for the head.

At this moment, Lian Shi wanted to go over angrily, but was grabbed by the old woman and shook her head slightly.

Cheng Xue received the "help" look from her mother-in-law, and hurried forward to help drag him away.

I don't know exactly what happened in the lobby on the first floor, but something that she couldn't accept must have happened, otherwise, with her dignity and self-control, it would be impossible.

The two dragged Lian out of the troupe, and Cheng Xue got into the carriage worryingly.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Lian looked at Cheng Xue with sad eyes and couldn't help shaking her head.

"Sister-in-law, why is your mother's family holding back?"

Uh……

What does this mean?
"I worked so hard to maintain the face and status of my natal family, but they hurt and bullied me time and time again. How can I want such a natal family... woo woo woo..."

At the end, Lian covered her face and wept, deeply grieved.

The mother-in-law knew the position and importance of Cheng Xue in the heart of the master, so she hurriedly explained:

"Mrs. Li, our grandma saw her natal wife in the lobby just now, and there was a woman beside her. To be honest, Mrs. Li, our grandma has always liked your eldest lady and wanted to bring her together with my uncle. It can be seen that you don't have that Meaning, our grandma put it on hold. But grandma’s mother has always said that she will be obedient and will wait for your young lady and Ji, but just now... oh!"

"What is the origin of that young lady?"

Cheng Xue didn't think that this lady was just a simple wealthy lady, otherwise Lian wouldn't be like this.

"It's the He family, the only daughter of the He family in Liaodong Prefecture, the one who once threatened to be engaged to Brother Qinglin."

Lien's saying this meant that she had given up on her natal family and Li Yue, who was in love with her younger brother.

This was a good thing for Cheng Xue. Seeing his sad face, she took the initiative to comfort others for the first time.

As long as you don't miss her family's little cabbage, then we are good friends. If you are sad or sad, I will be obliged to persuade and comfort you...
