Xu Rong successfully passed the county examination. Soon after, good news came from the Lu family. Lu Chuliang, who returned to his hometown to take the childbirth examination, also passed the county examination.

The second room of the Xu family was full of joy, waiting for Xu Rong to successfully pass the imperial examination. The news reached the Chengenhou Mansion, and people who got along well with Xu Rong were also happy for him. Even Xu Rong had always been more partial to Xu Rong.

Mr. Xu, who was more prosperous, also showed a rare sincere smile: "Although it's a little late and not as promising as his brother, as long as you are determined to make progress, it doesn't matter if you are late for a few years. In the future, the two brothers will work together to win glory for the Xu family.

.The ancestors and ancestors will definitely be happy when they find out about it."

No one knows whether the ancestors of the Xu family will be happy, but the Xu family is quite indifferent to this. They are still concentrating on preparing for Xu Xiu's wedding and Xu Zheng's Enke examination. Other things are not important to them.

It's secondary. When the second roommate of the Xu family reported the letter, whether she wanted to share the joy with them or show off to them, Grandma Xu scoffed and had no intention of coming to say congratulations. Or did Uncle Xu feel that

This was a little inappropriate, so I went there in person. As for the female relatives, it was the Lu family who came forward.

When Mistress Xu came to visit Mrs. Xu afterwards, she even mentioned the Lu family to her: "It's a pity. Although Mrs. Lu is not very beautiful, she definitely deserves the four words of being virtuous and knowledgeable. Originally, her family background was ordinary.

A little bit older, but compared with my elder brother now, she is not far behind. If I could marry such a daughter-in-law, it would be too late to hurt her. How would I be like a sister-in-law who calls her over to set the rules every day, from morning to night?

, she was not even allowed to take a break, and she was not allowed to reunite with Brother Zheng at night, so she was allowed to sleep alone in the study room outside, saying that she was afraid that she would disturb Brother Zheng's study. This is not what a mother-in-law should do.

What happened? If Ms. Lu had married into someone else's family, she would never have been treated so harshly by her mother-in-law! Her sister-in-law just bullied her in-laws because they were not in Beijing, and her daughter-in-law had no one to support her. It's a pity that our second wife has already separated, otherwise my mother-in-law would not be able to see it.

In the past, I had to criticize her."

Xu's face looked a little ugly: "How could this be? Even if Brother Zheng's mother is dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law and everyone else has married in, she should be allowed to live in harmony with Brother Zheng so that she can have children as soon as possible. Even if Brother Zheng

Brother Zheng has to be busy preparing for the exam, and he must not be fascinated by women, which may lead to separation from his wife! Besides, Brother Zheng always has to have people around him to take care of him. If his wife is not allowed to take care of him, is it possible that he has to let a girl do it?

"

Second Mistress Xu curled her lips and said: "Shouldn't we let the girl come? My sister-in-law also gave Brother Zheng a big girl she was used to by her side to wait in the study. Although she hasn't shown her face yet, it will be a matter of time. Zheng

My brother is newly married, and my sister-in-law is doing this. She is clearly slapping her daughter-in-law in the face! Nowadays, among the girls in the eldest house, as long as they are decent in front of their master, how many of them really believe in Mr. Lu? Where do I see it?

, Sister-in-law is being stupid. She will regret it when the family is uneasy in the future! She thought she was doing it for Brother Zheng’s good, but she didn’t know that she was harming Brother Zheng and he would have to call someone else if he became an official in the future.

The inner curtain of impeachment has not been repaired!"

Mrs. Xu glanced at Mrs. Xu displeased: "How could Brother Zheng make such a mistake? He is just busy preparing for the exam and didn't pay attention to it for the moment. When the exam is over, he and his wife will naturally be together

Together. No matter how confused his mother is, there is no way she doesn’t want grandchildren!"

Second Mistress Xu said sarcastically: "I'm also worried about Brother Zheng, and I'm afraid that my sister-in-law will be confused... This is not the first time she has done this."

Mrs. Xu sighed and asked her second nephew's daughter-in-law: "How are you preparing for Sister Xiu's wedding? Have you prepared the dowry?"

"Are you almost ready?" Mistress Xu was a little unsure, "The eldest brother didn't allow us to interfere, and we couldn't ask more questions. My sister-in-law seemed to be afraid that if I asked more questions, she would steal Sister Xiu's dowry.

But I have heard people mention that Sister Xiu’s dowry is very generous. Although the number is not large, it is not as large as Gui Er’s dowry at first glance, but there is a lot of money at the bottom of the box. The sister-in-law is afraid of Sister Xiu.

After marrying into the Gui family, it will be inconvenient for me to have no money on hand. There are also many books, antiques, calligraphy and paintings that were distributed to the eldest brother when the family was divided, and they were also used as dowries for Sister Xiu."

Speaking of this matter, Mrs. Xu felt very unhappy. The eldest daughter had taken so many good things and refused to give them to the second one. As a result, instead of keeping them for her children and grandchildren, she let her daughter marry off to another family.

When grandma does this kind of thing, isn't she afraid that her ancestors will be so angry that they come to life?!

Mrs. Xu didn't care much about these belongings: "The Gui family is gaining power now. Sister Xiu married her to fill a house. The dowry is richer, so it won't be looked down upon. This was inevitable at the time."

When she married into the Marquis Chengen's house, didn't the Xu family spend almost everything?

Mrs. Xu sighed and told Mistress Xu again, "When Sister Xiu gets married, remember to support her in the past, and be on good terms with the eldest brother in front of others. Don't make others laugh. The wedding banquet at the Gui family,

I asked Brother Rong to go with him. Brother Zheng was familiar with the Second Master Gui, so he asked him to introduce Brother Rong to a few more people. Brother Rong is now going to take the imperial examination and become an official, so he wants to know more people.

A few friends are always good."

Mistress Xu wanted to say that her son knew a lot of friends, maybe even more than Xu Zheng. But Mrs. Xu obviously said this for Xu Rong's good, so why should she bother? She smiled and agreed.

.

Xu Xiu just hurriedly married into the Gui family before the Enke Examination began. Although the wedding was not lively, it was not a grand event. The Gui family was marrying their son to fill a house, so naturally it was impossible for the Gui family to let the person fill the house.

The ostentation exceeds that of the first wife, and I am also worried that the wedding will be too grand and will be an eyesore to my in-laws who live on the same street.

Xu Xiu entered the Gui family, paid homage and saluted, and met her husband's sister-in-law, sister-in-law and relatives and friends in the new house. She soon realized that she did not seem to be very popular. Everyone in the Gui family was not very cold towards her either.

But basically she just acted according to etiquette, and no one really wanted to make friends with her. Grandma Gui seemed to be very kind and enthusiastic towards her when they first met her, but upon closer inspection, she was actually no different from how she treated other relatives, friends and guests, and she didn't feel at ease in her heart.

She is not truly considered a family member.

Xu Xiu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in her heart. She watched her newlywed husband, Mr. Gui Er, being helped into the new house after being drunk on their wedding night. He was obviously unconscious but still reciting the name of his first wife, while holding back his shame.

Waiting for him to wash up and rest, he suppressed the fear and sourness in his heart.

Grandma Xu married off her daughter, thinking that she would be able to embrace the golden thigh of the Gui family. Even if her daughter was married to fill a house, it would be no different from an ordinary married daughter. However, within a few days, she

I noticed the difference.

On the one hand, the wedding was rushed, but on the other hand, the Gui family followed etiquette everywhere. When Xu Xiu got married, she had to perform the concubine ceremony in front of the first wife's tablet. This was the case from the second day of the wedding when she visited the ancestral hall. She also had to

He went with his husband to visit the Yuanbei's parents and bowed respectfully in front of Yuanbei's parents, brothers and sisters-in-law. Even the yard where he lived was full of traces left by Yuanbei, and the servants who served him were not what Yuanbei was used to.

Yes, it was the dowry and house of the first wife. The Second Young Master Gui did not allow any changes, and Xu Xiu had no right to change. Xu Xiu felt extremely unaccustomed to it and had a sense of suffocation, but she could not protest except endure it.

, she has no other choice.

She had complained to her mother in private, but even Grandma Xu could do nothing about it. While walking outside, she accidentally met the parents of the second wife of Gui Ergong.

Be humble, otherwise someone will gossip. After reluctantly bowing her head, Grandma Xu finally began to understand why Mrs. Xu said in the first place that this marriage would belittle the lintel of the Xu family.

However, her daughter was already married, and it was too late to regret it. Thinking about the benefits that the Gui family's in-laws could bring to the Xu family, Grandma Xu felt that this was just an insignificant sacrifice. As long as her husband could recover smoothly and make plans.

If she gets a good official position and her son successfully takes the imperial examination and becomes an official and rises to prominence, what does it matter if her daughter suffers a little anger from her husband's family? The worst she can do is avoid the family of Yuan Gui's second grandmother.

Immediately, the Enke Examination began.

Qin Jian, Lu Chuming, Xu Zheng, Yu Xinlan's brother Yu Jingming, two Juren people from the Qin family who came from their hometown, and the Niu family brothers who came from Tianjin... all of them participated in this session of Enke

Even though Qin Hanzhen is a married woman, she can't help but pay attention to the news from her parents' family. This subject is very important to the Qin family and related relatives and friends.

If the Qin family can produce a Jinshi this year, then the shadow of restrictions by relatives that has been hanging over the Qin family's two princes' mansions will truly disappear. The direct descendants of the Qin family can finally have the opportunity to enter officialdom as a Jinshi.

The official position was granted by the royal family in the name of grace, not at the stage of promotion, which truly cut off the path to becoming a minister.

The Cheng'enhou Mansion sends people to guard outside the Gongyuan every day, even if they know they can't wait for people to come out, they still have to keep a close eye on them. In the Yongjia Hou Mansion, Qin and Bai are still stable, but as time goes by

Those who came from the old family, as well as those who came with the Niu family brothers, were restless every day. Because there were so many people living in the Yongjia Marquis Mansion now, Qin Hanzhen couldn't always come over, so he could only send people around every day.

Letters were sent back and forth between the two mansions. However, Zhao Mo's little brother Zhao Qi has been running to Qin Bai to ask him for advice in the past six months. He has already become familiar with the Yongjia Marquis Mansion, and has even become good friends with Qin Hanzhu.

He went to play with her every day and got more information than Qin Hanzhen got from his servants.

Qin Hanzhen felt much calmer after listening to the news from her parents' family. In fact, what she really cared about was just Qin Jian. She only hoped that Qin Jian could go to high school smoothly in this subject and not have to worry about it for another year.

Yes. He is young and of the right age. If he can join the officialdom earlier, he will be able to achieve higher achievements in the future.

Zhao Mo has been busy with the peace talks in Liaodong recently, and has returned to leaving early and returning late, but he also always takes time to pay attention to Enke's situation. He comforted Qin Hanzhen and said: "It's okay, Brother Jian is here

He worked very hard during the year, and even his grandfather said that he had made a lot of progress and that he was very promising in this subject. He was only a little bit behind last year, so there was no problem in getting on the list. He just didn't want to be the same Jinshi, so he took the exam again.

.He will only be more confident this year, what do you have to worry about?"

Qin Hanzhen sighed: "I hope so. Alas, even if we know that he is very sure, who dares to guarantee it before the result comes out? There are many unexpected things in this world."

With everyone paying attention, the three consecutive interviews finally came to an end.
