„Old gentleman, Madame, originally you here!” “老爷子,夫人,原来你们在这儿！” Has hidden in one side Xia Family male servant obtains inciting of summer father, immediately shipped out one just the appearance that ran from very far place, said to summer the father pantingly: „Old gentleman, the father told small looks for you and wife, said that was Old ancestor had the serious illness, asking the old gentleman you to hurry.” 一个早就藏在一侧的夏家家丁得到夏老爹的授意,马上装出一副刚从很远的地方跑来的样子,气喘吁吁地对夏老爹道:“老爷子,老太爷吩咐小的来找你和夫人,说是老祖宗生了重病,请老爷子您赶紧回去呢。” „! How can like this, Old ancestor she how?” “啊！怎么会这样,老祖宗她怎么了？” summer the father makes the having a big shock shape, always the person inquired pretentiously, Xia Yingying one hear, has run to go forward to say anxiously: „You said that Old ancestor did have the serious illness?” 夏老爹做大惊失色状,装模作样地向来人询问,夏莹莹一听,已经焦急地跑上前道:“你说老祖宗生了重病？” The male servant nods to say hastily: „Yes, young lady. The native place sends, asking the father and old gentleman to hurry, added, must ask young lady you also to go back, the Old ancestor serious illness stupor, in the stupor has also read is holding in the mouth you.” 那家丁连忙点头道:“是,大小姐。老家派人来,请老太爷、老爷子赶紧回去,还说,一定要请大小姐您也回去一趟,老祖宗重病昏迷,昏迷之中还一直念叼着你呢。” Xia Yingying eye socket one was red, the dizzy tears want the drop said/tunnel: „I leave, Old ancestor good, how this to get sick fortunately. The father, mother, we return to the Red maple lake quickly.” 夏莹莹的眼圈儿唰地一下就红了,眩泪欲滴地道:“我离开的时候,老祖宗还好好儿的,怎么这就病了呢。爹,娘,我们快回红枫湖吧。” Ye Xiaotian watches critically, in the heart mused: „Did Xia Family that grandma fall ill really? So to be how skillful, an idea that maybe the uncle to lie the daughter supposes? Should, where not have casually makes the younger generation oneself elder makes fun.” 叶小天冷眼旁观,心中暗想:“夏家那位老奶奶真是生病了？怎么就这么巧,别是伯父为了诳走女儿设的一计吧？应该不会吧,哪有做晚辈的随随便便拿自己长辈开玩笑的。” Then, then he can conclude the matter that Xia Family that old madame serious illness 99% are false, his bystander younger generation also has no alternative but near reason to refer, but 1/10000 possibly real, he wanted the multitude of people to refer, at this time can only remain silent. 然则,既便他能断定夏家那位老夫人重病的事90%九是假的,他一个外人晚辈也不能不近情理地指出来,但有万分之一的可能是真的,他就要千夫所指了,这个时候只能保持沉默。 Xia Yingying is red the eye socket to turn around, said to Ye Xiaotian: „Brother Xiaotian, I......” 夏莹莹红着眼圈转过身来,对叶小天道:“小天哥,我……” Ye Xiaotian nods said: „I understand, have a lot of time for that you first go back to see the elderly man. Un......, or do I accompany you to go together?” 叶小天颔首道:“我明白,来日方长,你先回去看望老人家。嗯……要不我陪你一起去？” Xia Yingying said joyfully: „Good!” 夏莹莹欣然道:“好哇！” summer a father brow wrinkle, but also without the persuasive words rejection, the people then the person raises the sound said behind: „Leaf does Juren (graduate) live here?” 夏老爹眉头一皱,还没婉言拒绝,众人身后便又有一人扬声道:“叶举人可是住在此处么？” When the people only came one to report good news, did not turn to pass away very much patiently. Actually sees a yamen runner of azure clothes soap hat to stand in the roadside is inquiring loudly. 众人只当又是来了一个报喜的,很不耐烦地扭过身去。却见一个青衣皂帽的衙役站在路边高声询问着。 Ye Xiaotian goes forward several steps, asked submissively: „I am Ye Xiaotian, actually does not know that this potential difference officer does have what advice?” 叶小天上前几步,拱手问道:“鄙人就是叶小天,却不知这位差官有何指教？” That person folds the hands to return salute hastily, said: „Originally is leaf Juren (graduate) face to face, the villain was disrespectful. The provincial adminstrative commissioner and surveillance commissioner two old masters in the tomorrow's 7 to 9 a.m three quarters, summon now branch Juren (graduate) in provincial adminstrative commissioner yamen (government office), but also asked leaf Juren (graduate) to harm the double-hour of reference not by any means.” 那人连忙叉手还礼,道:“原来是叶举人当面,小人失礼了。布政使、按察使两位老大人于明日辰时三刻,在布政使衙门召见今科举人,还请叶举人切莫误了参见的时辰。” Ye Xiaotian stayed one dull, said busily submissively: „Had the work!” 叶小天呆了一呆,忙拱手道:“有劳了！” That difference officer executes a ritual, turns around to depart. Ye Xiaotian looks at his back to be somewhat in a daze, Xia Yingying hears to understand. Has arrived at side him gently, said in a low voice: „Master is selected, this is the big good deed, since two division Senior official interviews, the master keeps Guiyang prefecture, I go back to visit Old ancestor, waits for some Old ancestor good me then to come back to seek you.” 那差官又施一礼,转身离去。叶小天望着他的背影正有些发呆,夏莹莹听得明白。已然轻轻走到他身边,低声道:“相公中举,这是大好事,既然有两司长官接见,相公还是留在贵阳吧,我回去探望老祖宗,等老祖宗好一些我便回来寻你。” Ye Xiaotian hear of she calls herself „master”, a heart heat, grips her hand. Nods gently. 叶小天听她唤自己“相公”,不由心头一热,握住她的手。轻轻点点头。 „Master......” “相公……” Xia Yingying starts to speak but hesitates, although she is naive, actually in the heart also some suspicions are the family member lie she, but this matter she does not dare to take risk. In any event must go back one at heart then steadfastly, in swallowed back the anxiety by this heart to the mouth unconsciously. 夏莹莹欲言又止,她虽然天真,其实心中也有些疑心是家人诳她,可这种事她不敢冒险。无论如何都得回去一趟心里这才踏实,是以这心中疑虑到了嘴边不觉又咽了回去。 She closely shook a hand of Ye Xiaotian, said in a low voice: „You could rest assured that I certain, come certainly back to look for you!” 她只是紧紧地握了一下叶小天的手,低声道:“你放心,我一定、一定回来找你！” „Un!” “嗯！” The Ye Xiaotian brow tip selected slightly. Sinking sound said: „You also felt relieved! In any event, I meet you! Regardless of what happened, I will marry you! You are my. Must marry me, can only marry me!” 叶小天的眉梢微微地挑了起来。沉声道:“你也放心！无论如何,我都会等你！无论发生什么事,我都会娶你！你是我的。就一定要嫁我,只能够嫁我！” Clang tink~ that these words, Ye Xiaotian said is powerful, is loud, summer the father hears the brow big wrinkle, Madame summer among the facial features passed over gently and swiftly actually joyfully, who does not hope that own daughter such as the Jane|treasure treasure trove was being protected? If not the Ye Xiaotian special status enables him to only have 20 years of fatality of this world, Madame summer really wants to admit this son-in-law but actually. 这句话,叶小天说的铿锵有力,非常大声,夏老爹听得眉头大皱,夏夫人眉眼之间倒是掠过一丝欣然,谁不希望自己的女儿被人如珍似宝地呵护着？如果不是叶小天的特殊身份使得他只有二十年尘缘,夏夫人倒真想接纳这个女婿。 „Un!” “嗯！” Yingying is listening to the Ye Xiaotian loud and clear words, in the heart sweet, in her eye also has the clear tears twinkle, has broken cried smiles, lowers the head, said softly bashfully: „Last night...... was I am not good, I later...... will certainly try hard to be a good wife.” 莹莹听着叶小天掷地有声的话,心中甜甜的,她眼中还有晶莹的泪花儿闪烁,却已破啼一笑,低下头,柔柔地羞道:“昨晚……是我不好,我以后……一定会努力做个好妻子。” Ye Xiaotian smiles, said in a soft voice: „You are very good, being you are good, who lets you are unique!” 叶小天微笑起来,轻声道:“你很好,做你自己就好,谁让你是独一无二的呢！” Yingying nips the lip, said: „If...... in the family/home has what accident, I come back may be later, therefore...... , if there is right female, you can take a concubine.” 莹莹咬了咬唇,又道:“如果……家中有什么变故,我回来的或许会晚一些,所以……如果有合适的女子,你可以纳妾。” Ye Xiaotian frowns, said: „I......” 叶小天眉头一蹙,道:“我……” Yingying stares the charming and attractive eye saying: „But, only permits one!” 莹莹又瞪起俏媚的眼睛道:“可是,只准纳一个！” This morning when two people come back, Ye Xiaotian had explained to Yingying find a wife the difficulties of eagerly giving birth, Yingying is certainly passed from generation to generation clearly to a person and to family an importance. After the matter of yesterday, her mental was as if maturer gradually overnight, she also considered that this goes the matter that no matter Old ancestor falls ill is really false, she wants to leave again is not a very easy matter: 今晨两人一路回来时,叶小天已经向莹莹解释过自己急于娶妻生子的苦衷,莹莹当然明白传宗接代对一个人、对一个家族的重要。经过昨日之事,她的心智仿佛渐一夜之间便成熟了许多,她也考虑到此去不管老祖宗生病的事是真是假,她想再离开都不是一件很容易的事: If Old ancestor really falls ill, as Old ancestor only great-granddaughter who also most loves, she must serve the decoction inevitably, until Old ancestor recovers, how could otherwise to feel relieved to leave. 老祖宗若是真的生了病,做为老祖宗唯一的也是最疼爱的重孙女,她势必要伺候汤药,直到老祖宗痊愈,否则岂能放心离开。 If this is the family member makes the pretence to deceive her to go back with Old ancestor intentionally, naturally will not make her easily leave, must solve these matters also to need some time. In addition had not satisfied my dear last night, has feeling sorry, therefore has this spoken language. 如果这是家人成心用老祖宗做幌子骗她回去,当然不会让她轻易离开,要解决这些事恐怕也得需要一段时间。再加上昨夜不曾满足郎君,心生歉疚,所以才有这番言语。 The Ye Xiaotian forced smile said: „I......” 叶小天苦笑道:“我……” Xia Yingying rushes saying: „Decided, I am the big woman, I decide!” 夏莹莹抢着道:“就这么定了,我是大妇,我说了算！” Ye Xiaotian closed the mouth. Xia Yingying said: „Also, I do not look in your side, you may not probably go out to be a womanizer, cannot the dissolute brothel. If you study my uncle and brothers, I...... I punish you not to bump me forever!” 叶小天又闭上了嘴巴。夏莹莹道:“还有,我不在你身边看着,你可不许出去拈花惹草,不许浪荡青楼。要是你学我那些叔伯和兄弟,我就……我就罚你永远不许碰我！” Xia Yingying said that stands on tiptoes the tip of the toe, no matter also the parents and so many elder brothers in the side, collect gently a kiss on the cheek of Ye Xiaotian, this turns around to run off. 夏莹莹说完踮起脚尖,也不管爹娘和那么多兄长就在身边,凑过去在叶小天的颊上轻轻一吻,这才转身跑开。 summer the father does not know that this collects to the little children is talking in whispers together anything, a kiss that only sees daughter that affection, face was immediately black, sees the daughter to come back, immediately draws the big face saying: „We walk!” 夏老爹也不知这对小儿女凑在一块儿窃窃私语些什么,只看见女儿那深情的一吻,一张老脸登时就黑了,一见女儿回来,立即拉着大脸道:“我们走！” Ye Xiaotian is caressing the cheeks, looks that Yingying was being crowded around increasingly estranged by her father's cousin's sons, as if can also feel the gentle taste that on the cheek that delightful lips touches gently. Loves one another to turn round to leave, although non- altar/jar pure strong wine, sour and sweet, was drunk...... 叶小天抚着脸颊,看着莹莹被她的堂兄弟们簇拥着渐行渐远,似乎还能感受到颊上那甜美双唇轻轻一触的温柔滋味。相恋复相离,虽非一坛醇酒,酸酸甜甜,也是醉了…… * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Next morning, away the 7 to 9 a.m three quarters also early, 30 bore children then rushed to Commissioner Guizhou province division yamen (government office) mouth. Undergraduate first place finisher side forest surnamed Tu, the numerous bears children arrives, then encircles to him side, to spreading the first place finisher congratulated, spread the first place finisher to hang a face ratio to cry also the ugly smiling face, 11 returned salute to the people. 第二天清晨,距辰时三刻还早,三十名举子便赶到了贵州布政使司衙门口儿。本科解元姓涂名方林,众举子一到,便围到他身边,向涂解元道喜,涂解元挂着一脸比哭还难看的笑容,向众人一一还礼。 The Guizhou province situation is special, in the place of Central Plain flower exquisite silk, a county deputy government position, you , if no successful candidate family background, is not one's turn you to do, but in Guizhou province because actually the place is barren, is difficult the achievements, once for a while must fall behind the salary, headman masters compete, therefore has no successful candidate to be willing to this place to serve as an official. 贵州情形特殊,在中原花花锦绣之地,一个县丞的官职,你若没个进士出身,也根本轮不到你去做,而在贵州却因为地方贫瘠,难出政绩,时不时的还要拖欠俸禄,土司老爷们又来喧宾夺主,所以没有哪个进士愿意到这种地方来做官。 Limited to the local peculiar circumstance, the royal government is also special matters are dealt with specially, many basic unit officials from this save in Juren (graduate) to select directly, is as a first place finisher of province, this province bears children trial first, was impossible to hold an office, he will be will certainly recommend for admission to school the national capital to attend the metropolitan examination to test the successful candidate. 限于当地的特殊情况,朝廷也是特事特办,很多基层官员都是从本省举人中直接选拔,可是作为一省的解元,本省举子试的第一名,就不可能就地任职了,他是一定会被保送到京师参加会试考进士的。 But freely is the Honshu first place finisher, once attains across the country, particularly these studies Tyrant Men to compete with Jiangsu , Zhejiang area, that result insufficiently looked radically. Therefore his province first place finisher, not only cannot fish materially beneficial officer of this province to do, goes to the national capital greatly compared with and must fail in a competitive examination inevitably, how spreads the first place finisher to result in happily. 可是尽管是本州解元,一旦拿到全国范围内,尤其是跟江浙一带那些学霸们竞争,那成绩就根本就不够看了。所以他这一省解元,既捞不到本省的实惠官儿做,去京师大比又势必要名落孙山,涂解元又如何高兴得起来。 The Xu Boyi hypocrisy ends happily to the unlucky spreading first place finisher say/way, turns head to see Ye Xiaotian to put on blue robe exactly, walks to here accompanied by Mao Wenzhi. 徐伯夷虚情假意地向倒霉的涂解元道完喜,一扭头恰好看见叶小天穿着一袭青袍,在毛问智的陪同下向这边走来。 Today pays a visit to the mansion alley this saves the provincial adminstrative commissioner, Ye Xiaotian has not let Yaoyao and two fierce-looking gods follows, therefore leaves behind Hua Yunfei to visit them at home, only brought Mao Wenzhi to come out. Xu Boyi sees Ye Xiaotian, immediately moves forward to meet somebody, false smile said/tunnel: „leaf brother, congratulations!” 今天是到府衙拜见本省布政使,叶小天没让遥遥和哼哈二将跟着,所以留下华云飞在家看着他们,只带了毛问智出来。徐伯夷一见叶小天,马上迎上去,皮笑肉不笑地道:“叶兄,恭喜啊！” Ye Xiaotian coldly cast a sidelong glance his eyes, said: „Ye is at least younger than you ten years old, this brother character may not be at all, do not cotton up to me.” 叶小天冷冷地睨了他一眼,道:“叶某比你至少年轻十岁,这个兄字可不敢当,你就别跟我套近乎了。” Xu Boyi thinks little, laughs saying: „Yes, you are young, young is good, the person is young, is good-looking, can therefore hold the thigh of Red maple lake Xia Family, otherwise, how you can today the worthless person in imposing attire, dexterous then resulted in a Juren (graduate) academic honor?” 徐伯夷不以为忤,哈哈一笑道:“是啊,你年轻啊,年轻就是好啊,人年轻,又俊俏,所以才能抱上红枫湖夏家的大腿,要不然,你今日怎能沐猴而冠,轻轻巧巧的便得了一个举人功名呢？” Ye Xiaotian looks at his two eyes up and down, the coldly said/tunnel: „Under foot the morning forgets to take a drug maybe today? Also or in Hu county, was destroyed the brain, how nonsense?” 叶小天上下看他两眼,冷冷地道:“足下别是今儿早上忘了吃药吧？又或者早在葫县的时候,就被人打坏了脑子,怎么胡说八道？” „Did I talk nonsense?” Xu Boyi sees the numerous to bear children to encircle to watch the fun, has a mind front to make Ye Xiaotian lose face in the numerous in the same year, the sound raised high: „You dare saying that you haven't climbed up Red maple lake Xia Family young lady Xia Yingying?” “我胡说八道？”徐伯夷见众举子都围过来看热闹,有心在众同年面前让叶小天丢脸,声音提得更高了:“你敢说你没有攀上红枫湖夏家的大小姐夏莹莹？” The Ye Xiaotian nod said: „Right! I and did the Yingying two sentiments like each other, what matter are obstructing your?” 叶小天点头道:“没错！我与莹莹两情相悦,碍着你什么事儿了？” Xu Boyi said: „Red maple lake Xia Family, is eight Great Warrior king, but summer young lady headman master the thousand gold (daughter) of family/home, if not close right up against the help of Xia Family, depends on your so-called scholarship, are you qualified for Juren (graduate)?” 徐伯夷道:“红枫湖夏家,名列八大金刚,夏大小姐可是土司老爷家的千金,如果不是靠着夏家的帮助,就凭你的所谓才学,你有资格做举人？” Ye Xiaotian was startled immediately, was startled the long time, probed asks: „You said that...... Red maple lake Xia Family, is eight Great Warrior king headmen?” 叶小天顿时怔住了,怔了半晌,才试探地问道:“你说……红枫湖夏家,是名列八大金刚的土司？” Xu Boyi Nie he is sneering again and again, some jealous envy somewhat taunted the said/tunnel: „You do not want to tell everyone, don't you know the summer young lady real status?” 徐伯夷乜着他冷笑连连,有些嫉羡有些嘲讽地道:“你不会想告诉大家,你根本不知道夏大小姐的真实身份吧？” Ye Xiaotian raised hand to pat own forehead gently, muttered: „Eight Great Warrior king, Xia Family......” 叶小天举起手来轻轻拍了拍自己的额头,喃喃自语:“八大金刚,夏家……” Suddenly, in the Ye Xiaotian heart then filled move. He has not thought that in his mind sells the pear miss, afterward forced to be promoted by him for some village head granddaughter's Yingying, unexpectedly has such noble family background, unexpectedly just like Zhan Ning'er, is a rich and powerful family expensive/noble female! 忽然之间,叶小天心中便充满了感动。他没有想到,他心目中的那个卖梨姑娘,后来勉强被他提升为某村长孙女的莹莹,居然有这样高贵的出身,居然和展凝儿一样,是一位豪门贵女！ : At the end of the month, asked the monthly ticket and recommendation ticket honestly!. :月末了,诚求月票、推荐票！.
