A year later, Jia Huan took part in the provincial examination. He also passed the examination at the end of the crane and became a civil servant.

Jia's father and Jia's mother were extremely happy. Their three sons had become successful. They were so happy.

The whole village was also very happy, and all the villagers were proud of it.

There are more students here in Jiafuzi, and villagers from nearby villages send their children to his school.

His teaching level has been recognized and praised by many people.

Because in addition to the three brothers Jia Huan, Master Jia also taught a scholar and three children.

Xiucai was Jia Fuzi's own son, and Tongsheng was the child of the villagers.

The achievements of the three brothers of the Jia family stimulated Master Jia and the villagers. They used bamboo whips to urge their children to study hard, and some of them actually passed the county examination.

Jia's father and Jia's mother prepared their luggage for the three brothers, who were going to Beijing to take the exam.

This time Jia's father and Jia's mother would not go with them, and they could only keep telling the three of them to take care of each other.

Jia Heng snorted: "The eldest brother doesn't have time to take care of me and the second brother."

This time, Qin will go to the capital with Jia Yan.

She wanted to see the prosperity of the capital, but Jia Yan couldn't resist Qin's coquettishness and had already agreed.

Jia's father was unhappy because he felt that Mrs. Qin was too clingy and would affect his eldest son's reading and study.

But Qin moved out her natal family to support her. No matter how unhappy Jia's father and mother were, they could only let Qin follow Jia Yan to the capital.

Jia's father could only tell Jia Huan to take good care of his younger brother. Jia Huan nodded, looking honest and dull.

Jia Chunmei held Jia Yan and Qin's son who was only half a year old, and gave the amulet she asked for from the temple to Jia Huan and Jia Heng.

As for Jia Yan, he has the amulet given by the Qin family and does not need the one given by Jia Chunmei.

Jia Huan and Jia Heng said goodbye to their parents and sister, got into a carriage, and followed Jia Yan and Qin's carriage.

Along the way, because of the Qin family, the journey that originally took more than a month took more than two months to complete.

Fortunately, they had left for the capital several months in advance, and now there was still some time before the test, which was enough for them to rest and adjust and adapt to the climate of the capital.

Jia Heng was very dissatisfied. After arriving in the capital, he no longer wanted to live with Jia Yan and the Qin family. Instead, he took Jia Huan and rented a small courtyard to live in.

However, the small courtyard where they live is not far from the courtyard of Jia Yan and his wife. After all, they are brothers and they still have to take care of each other.

After settling down, Jia Heng spent most of his time reading and reviewing, and occasionally went out to attend a few cultural gatherings.

Jia Yan spent all his time accompanying Qin and playing in the capital.

It didn't take long for the two of them to spend almost all their money. Jia Yan asked Jia Huan to borrow a lot of money.

If people who work hard stop working hard, the results will be obvious.

In this round of examinations, Jia Heng was naturally on the list, and Jia Huan was also on the list.

Only Jia Yan failed.

Jia Yan watched jealously as his two younger brothers were being congratulated, his expression extremely ugly.

Why did even the second child pass the exam, but he didn't?

"Ms. sir..." Mr. Qin stepped forward to comfort Jia Yan, "Ms. sir, if you fail the exam this time, there will be another time. I believe that with your talent, you will definitely pass the exam next time."

Jia Yan turned to look at his beloved wife, knowing in his heart that he spent all his time with his wife and had no time to study, so he failed in the exam.

But this is his own choice and has nothing to do with his wife. Naturally, he will not attribute all his mistakes to his wife.

Jia Yan sighed softly and took his wife's hand.

He should spend more time with his wife now. When he returns to his hometown, he will study hard and have no time to spend with his wife.

Three brothers returned home, two returned home with honors, and one returned in defeat.

Such a significant contrast is something that even a person with strong self-esteem cannot accept.

After Jia Yan returned to his hometown, he locked himself in his study and spent every day reading, rarely going out to see anyone.

Jia's father was very pleased. He had the greatest expectations for his eldest son.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his eldest son was no longer clinging to his wife and was focusing his time and attention away from women and back to reading.

Jia's mother was the happiest. Her youngest son had become an official, and he told her that he would take her with him to enjoy the blessings of the place where his youngest son was appointed.

Jia Mu was very moved, but still refused.

She and her father Jia are living well in their hometown. Now they are famous figures in the village. Even the county magistrate treats them politely when he sees them. She enjoys a life of being sought after by others and really doesn't want to leave!

As for the younger son's marriage, it will be three years later. When the time comes, I will go to the younger son's place to arrange the wedding for him.

Jia Heng's marriage has been decided, and he is really the daughter of the Hou family.

Although she is only a concubine, her status is much higher than that of Qin, the lady who is the bookkeeper.

This is also why Jia Yan is jealous of Jia Heng.

Although Jia Yan liked the Qin family very much, the Qin family was far inferior to the Hou family, and their help to Jia Yan was not as good as that of the Hou family to Jia Heng.

This time, Jia Heng was able to get the opportunity to be the magistrate of a wealthy county because the Hou Mansion helped him do it.

Jia Heng is very satisfied with this marriage.

Jia's mother was very satisfied when she heard that the daughter of the Hou family had a higher status than the Qin family.

After two years of getting along, Jia Mu really didn't like Qin at all.

If the Qin family hadn't given her and Jia's father ten taels of silver every year, and if it hadn't been for the Qin family, Jia's mother would have really wanted to show off her mother-in-law's legacy and challenge the Qin family.

Unfortunately, she could only think about it.

Now it's okay, the younger daughter-in-law has a higher status than the Qin family, so she can use her younger daughter-in-law to overpower the elder daughter-in-law.

Just thinking about it makes me happy.

As for the second child’s marriage...

He himself was not in a hurry, and there was nothing they could do.

This kid looks dull, but he actually has a plan.

Otherwise, he would not have passed the Jinshi examination when everyone was not optimistic about him.

She couldn't believe it when she heard the news.

She really wanted to marry her second son a wife as soon as possible.

Ever since they learned that their second son had passed the imperial examination, there were countless families who wanted to marry their daughters to their second son.

In the end, her man stopped her, saying that she had his own ideas and was afraid he would not accept their arrangement.

In order to avoid making people completely alienate from them, they should not force the second child to do things he does not want to do.

After staying in the village for half a month and participating in the ancestor worship of the Jia family, Jia Huan and Jia Heng left the village one after another and went to the place where they were assigned to work.

The place where Jia Huan took office was not far from the village, in the next county.

He became the registrar of the next county.

Jia Huan pretended to like Taoism and said that he would not get married in the future.

Although Jia's father and Jia's mother were unhappy, they finally let Jia Huan go.

Anyway, they had a grandson and their younger son had a fiancée, so they no longer cared about Jia Huan, their son who had been neglected by them in the first place.
