Chapter 91 Unexpected
The woman in the carriage got out of the carriage and walked towards the announcement place.

The servant who came to report the news earlier looked at the woman and at Zheng Yuanbao in the carriage, quite at a loss.

Soon, the woman was outside the crowd. It was too far away to read the words on the list clearly, so she squeezed into the crowd with an arrogant face.

Those who were squeezed by her couldn't help turning their heads to say a few words, but when they saw her expression, they shut up.

Squeezed into the crowd, and reached the front of the list, the woman stared at it with good eyes. Sure enough, there was no name of her son.

Still refusing to believe it, she read it again.

"Aunt?" A voice came from the side, the woman turned her head to look, and after seeing the person clearly, her expression softened a little, "It's Yun Ming, is your name on this list...?"

"As for aunt, I just came here and haven't seen it yet." Shen Yunming didn't ask his aunt if he saw Zheng Yuanbao's name on it.

When she squeezed into the crowd just now, Shen Yunming saw her. Shen Yunming saw her actions.

From the beginning to the end of that appearance, and then back again, it must be no one on the list, which is normal.

There are a lot of people who take the exam every year, not everyone can pass the exam at once, and he may not know that it is normal for the son of the uncle's family to fail the exam.

"Then hurry up and take a look. If you don't pass the exam, don't be depressed. Come back next year." A smile appeared on the woman's face. She had confirmed that her son's name was not on the list.

She often heard from her aunt that the concubine born to the sister-in-law who married into the Shen family as a noble concubine was intelligent.

But what about being smart?Guaranteed to pass the exam once?

Thinking of this, her eyes fell on the list again, looking for Shen Yunming's name.

Shen Yunming responded and began to look for it. Although it was not in the front position, he saw his name in the middle position.

In any case, it's good to pass the exam, it doesn't matter where you are, even if you are at the bottom of the list, as long as you pass the official school exam, you will open a door to the official career.

He saw his name, and Zheng Yuanbao's mother also saw her. She turned and walked out of the crowd. After walking a few steps, she looked back at Shen Yunming and gave him a gouging look.

Shen Yunming didn't pay attention, his thoughts were all on the list, after checking again and again, he turned his head and looked around, but he didn't see his aunt Gu, and he didn't intend to look for it.

Withdrawing his gaze, he looked again. Sure enough, there were the names of the two brothers of the Cui family on the list. Their rankings were relatively high, and he hadn't noticed it just now.

Now that I looked carefully, I saw it.

There are several government schools in Beijing, and he is a little fortunate that although he is in the middle, he can still go to the same government school as the two Cui brothers.

He knew that he was just a bastard, relying on his own ability, many things would not be easy to achieve.

But if he has a good relationship with the people of the Cui family, it is better to have a good relationship with the children of the duke's mansion and the marquis' mansion. In the future, his own road will be smoother.

After seeing everything to see, Shen Yunming came out from the crowd, and the people sent by the Cui family also arrived.

"Mother..." Seeing his mother return to the carriage, Zheng Yuanbao smiled mischievously and called out.

"Mother, what mother! I usually ask you to read more books, but you don't listen, and run to Shen's house all day long! That aunt of yours is the same, she knows that you are going to be an examiner, and homework is important, but she always asks you to go to Shen's house to play! "

"What did you say to make you marry the second wife's daughter-in-law? Pooh! That little hoof must be hooking you up, making you unable to study at ease, isn't it?"

Staring at Zheng Yuanbao, Mrs. Gu cursed, her voice was not low, and there were so many people who came to see the list, many people were attracted by her voice and looked this way.

"Ma'am." The servant girl reminded her in a low voice, and then Mrs. Gu restrained herself a little, and stepped on the footstool to get into the carriage.

Not long after, I heard the voice of Zheng Yuanbao begging for mercy from inside the carriage, "Mother, be gentle, you will wring my ears off!"

The servant pretended he didn't hear anything, and drove the carriage back to the mansion. Along the way, he could still hear Gu's curse.

Both the Cui brothers and Shen Yunming were admitted to government schools, so both families naturally got the news.

Mrs. Cui ordered her and her aunt to deliver the gift they had prepared to the Cui family, and the Cui mansion also sent someone to deliver a gift to Shen Yunming.

Although Zheng Yuanbao didn't get into the official school, at least Shen Yunming had some good news here, which can be regarded as a bit of relief to the Zheng family.

She vaguely heard the news that her younger brother and sister Gu were swearing at people outside the official school, so she naturally felt uncomfortable in her heart. The Zheng family sent someone to invite her, so it's rare that she didn't go this time.

She didn't go back to her mother's house, the happiest thing was Mother Kang.

Taking advantage of Shen Pei's going out during the day, she discussed with Mrs. Zheng that they should raise money as soon as possible to redeem all the things that had been pawned by the big house.

After staying at home for a few days, Shen Pei returned to his previous appearance.

For several days in a row, Shen Pei didn't come home, and Mrs. Zheng knew that he must have gone to look for his concubine again.

On the one hand, he had to stare at Shen Pei and find out his outer room, on the other hand, he had to find ways to get money and redeem the belongings of the big house as soon as possible, so that he could feel at ease.

However, before these two things were completed, news was sent back to the mansion, and the Dafang family would be able to come back in a few days.

When she heard the news, Mrs. Zheng had just checked her accounts and was sitting on a soft couch drinking tea.

After hearing the news from the servants, I couldn't help shaking, the cup fell to the ground and shattered.

"Where is Mother Kang? Quickly ask Mother Kang to come in!" She was about to get off the ground, but was persuaded by the servants, and she gave instructions to the servants, her heart beating wildly.

Mother Kang also got the news, came in from outside the house, the servants had cleaned up the debris on the ground, and exited the house, she leaned in front of Mrs Zheng, watching her panic-stricken face.

"Don't worry, madam, isn't there still some time left? During these days, we will return all the money we borrowed before, and these things can be redeemed."

It is against the rules to ask for the borrowed money back in advance. Not only will you lose interest money, but you will also lose your reputation.

But right now, I can't take care of that much anymore. When the big house comes back, it will not be so easy to quietly redeem the things and send them back.

If anyone finds out during this period, it will really be the end of everything.

"Yes, Mammy hurriedly contacted those people, and said that there is no interest, just return the money as soon as possible!"

After calming down, Mrs. Zheng ordered, and Madam Kang responded without wasting any time, and hurried out of the room to make arrangements.

Shen Yun'an was at home today, she saw Mother Kang rushing into the house and leaving in a hurry, so she took a look at the room where Mrs. Zheng was.

After hesitating for a long time, she didn't dare to go into the house. She was afraid that her aunt was in a bad mood and Nanny Kang was not here. If she offended her, no one would help her out.

 On the last day of January, may the epidemic be resolved as soon as possible.
