Listen to my heart in the morning and eat melons in the afternoon.

Daju: [What kind of strange dream? ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [I dreamed that I became a chivalrous woman who exorcises demons and punishes evil like my mother.]

Daju: [You are dreaming about something at night because you think about it during the day. ]

Daju thought it would be better to keep it a secret from her for now, otherwise, given her bad temper, she might just quit.

Tian Xiaoxiao: [It should be because I have read too many books on magic recently, and I have experienced too many bizarre things since arriving in Shengjing.]

Daju: [Let's go have a nice meal and put those unpleasant things behind us, and we won't have such dreams anymore. ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [No, I can, I can, I can draw talismans, doesn’t this mean that I have learned the same skills as my mother? ]

Daju: [I can draw talismans, too. Don't think too much about it. How are your two little white rabbits? ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [It should be ready to be slaughtered. I will eat rabbit meat in dry pot in winter. Wow, it smells so good. I am drooling.]

Daju: [Oh my god, don’t you raise rabbits as pets? ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Who told you that it was a pet? It was meat, meat, meat. The dry pot rabbit meat was really delicious.]

"Ade, Ade, help me weigh my two white rabbits to see how heavy they are." Tian Xiaoxiao was still in bed, and she shouted at Ade to check if the rabbits had grown big enough.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Ade covered his mouth and ran away.

She had always thought that Tian Xiaoxiao raised two white rabbits for fun, but she didn't expect that they were for eating.

Rabbit? Is it delicious? She has never eaten it.

Ade went to the yard, where Tian Xiaoxiao's various pets were kept, caught the two rabbits, tied them up with a rope and weighed them.

The two rabbits weigh a total of 18 kilograms.

"Miss, the two rabbits weigh a total of 18 kilograms." Ade replied to Tian Xiaoxiao.

"Ade, let's go to the street to buy some spices tomorrow. When we come back I will teach you how to make dry-pot rabbit meat. I guarantee you will want to eat even the bones." Tian Xiaoxiao felt that her saliva was about to flow.

"Miss, such a cute rabbit, can you bear to eat it?" Ade decided to cooperate.

"It's cute, but it tastes better. In comparison, I chose to eat it and then buy two more to raise. Ade, after you have tasted rabbit meat, I guess you will want to buy ten to raise!" Tian Xiaoxiao laughed.

At dinner time, the whole family finally gathered together.

Tian Xiwen, Tian Xiwu and Lin Bingsheng all passed the imperial examination and became juren in this year's autumn examination.

Before the Shengjing flood, the imperial court sent officials to take the exam, and Tian Xiwen and Lin Bingsheng both participated in this autumn exam.

Tian Xiwu felt that he was not mature enough, so he did not participate.

Tian Xingjian was responsible for receiving the chief examiner Zhu Zaihou sent by the court, and he arranged all logistical work.

Fortunately, the examiner was not a nitpicking person. Tian Xingjian was most afraid of dealing with Beijing officials, which was the reason why he had been reluctant to go to Beijing.

The number of candidates for this autumn examination was nearly two hundred fewer than in previous years.

When Zhu Zaihou was checking the data, he asked Tian Xingjian why the number of candidates decreased significantly after he took office?

Tian Xingjian replied: "The people of Shengjing no longer need to pass the imperial examination to realize their life value. People who are not good at studying have already been able to support their families, so there are fewer candidates."

"Those candidates are good for nothing but studying. How can they have the ability to support their families?" Zhu Zaihou found it unbelievable.

"You can go out and take a look yourself someday, and you will know, right?"

When the results were announced, the top scorer in the Shengjing Autumn Examination was named Chi Yuming. He was said to be a child from a poor family and was only eighteen years old.

Now that Tian Xiwen has passed the imperial examination, Lin Yunzhi has begun to worry about his marriage.

After Lin Bingsheng passed the imperial examination, he returned to Wucheng to announce the good news. He planned to stay in Wucheng until after the Chinese New Year and then come to Shengjing to study with Tian Xiwen and Tian Xiwu. Three years later, he would go to Beijing to take the imperial examination.

After the Autumn Examination, Shengjing was hit by a flood. Fortunately, it was handled in time and only some houses collapsed.

It’s just that the downstream situation is a little worse.

But Tian Xingjian has handled it very well.

Looking at his eldest son who had passed the imperial examination, Lin Yunzhi was filled with worry.

Tian Xiaoxiao: [My mother seems unhappy today? Unhappiness will affect the baby in her belly. ]

Daju: [You must be worried about your two brothers’ marriages. ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [Yes, mother said before that she would arrange marriages for my two brothers after they passed the imperial examination. Qingchen, are there any good girls of the right age in Shengjing? Not those who are fourteen or fifteen years old. My eldest brother must find an eighteen-year-old girl who is about the same age as him.]

Daju: [There are many beautiful girls in Shengjing, including a few from aristocratic families. I wonder if your mother likes them? ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [For marriage, first of all, the couple must be well matched. My brother is only a successful candidate in the imperial examination, so I guess the girls from the aristocratic families may not be interested in him. But I wonder if my father's rank as a third-rank official is high enough to marry into those aristocratic families? Secondly, the couple must love each other, that is, my brother should be able to meet the girl and get along with her. Thirdly, the parents-in-law must be reasonable. My parents are definitely open-minded parents-in-law. I'm just afraid that the girl's parents will do something bad.]

Daju: [Oh, you are someone who understands marriage. ]

Tian Xiaoxiao: [I saw too much in my previous life, so I naturally summed up my experience.]

When Lin Yunzhi heard Tian Xiaoxiao say that a bad mood would affect the fetus, he adjusted his mood.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and it may not be their destiny yet.

Tian Xingjian also saw Lin Yunzhi's worry: "Madam, are you worried about the marriage of the two brothers Wen and Wu?"

Lin Yunzhi sighed: "Xiwen is already eighteen years old, it's time for him to get married. But we just arrived in Shengjing, and we don't know if there is a suitable family."

"The day before yesterday, when I was inspecting the garment factory outside, I happened to meet the head of the Cui family." Having said this, Tian Xingjian picked up a piece of lettuce leaf and was about to eat it.

"Hey, finish what you're saying and don't eat yet!" Lin Yunzhi said angrily.

"The head of the Cui family asked if our Xiwu had an engagement."

"How did you answer?" Lin Yunzhi was a little anxious.

"I said that our son and daughter have not yet been engaged." Lin Yunzhi signaled Tian Xingjian that he could eat the lettuce leaf.

"Ask someone to find out tomorrow. The Cui family is a noble family, and we don't know what the character of their girls is like. Xiwu must find a calm one to restrain his temper." Lin Yunzhi felt much better and ate a few pieces of meat.

Tian Lele didn't dare to say anything, for fear that the matter of marriage would come to her head.

"Husband, has anyone inquired about Xiwen?" Lin Yunzhi was puzzled. Logically, Xiwen ranked third in the autumn examination, so how could no one be interested in him?

"I haven't found a suitable candidate for Xiwen's wife yet. Should I ask a matchmaker to come over and ask tomorrow?" Tian Xingjian discussed with Lin Yunzhi.

"Okay! And by the way, help Lele find out about the person. He must be a good person with good character and a family background that matches his."

Tian Lele: ...
