I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Liang Yuyao has been feeling uneasy these past few days, as the results will be announced soon.

This is very important to Yu Hui. He is the legitimate son, and no matter what, the Liang family will not neglect him.

The stepmother gave birth to two younger sisters, and the Liang family was still counting on Yu Hui to bring honor to the family.

Mrs. Liang has not been idle either. She has been looking for doctors and medicine everywhere these days, hoping to have another child for the Liang family.

After hearing this, Liang Yuyao sneered. She just wanted to give birth to a boy.

Apart from reading every day, Liang Yuhui spent the rest of his time copying books.

When she made money, she would ask her maid to send some to Liang Yuyao.

On the day of the full moon banquet, he also sent gifts.

Liang Yuyao was very pleased that his younger brother was smart and sensible.

That day she went to Dongcheng Village and met Manager Qin. Manager Qin and his men did not dare to scold Governor Liang, but only cried about their daughter's miserable life.

The group escorted Liang Yuyao out, and Da Zhuang suddenly said, "By the way, Miss Liang, I was strolling in East City the other day, and I ran into your cousin Bai Jiantang in front of a calligraphy and painting shop..."

Liang Yu was stunned. Since his mother passed away, his grandmother had sent people to deliver things several times. Later, after his father married a stepmother, he gradually had less contact with his grandmother's family.

Liang Yuyao felt very uncomfortable when she thought of how good her grandparents had been to her. She must have stayed in the back house for too long, and she was trapped in her own trap, worrying about herself and neglecting her grandparents.

"Where does my cousin live?" Liang Yuyao asked.

"I was in a daze because we haven't seen each other for a long time, and the young master has already left..." Da Zhuang said with a red face.

Da Zhuang's wife slapped him and cursed, "Useless thing!

Liang Yuyao said quickly, "Mammy, it's been a long time since we last met. I may not be able to recognize you. I will find a way."

After returning, she wrote a letter and asked Danfeng to have someone deliver it to her maternal grandparents' home in Xuanhua Prefecture.

The day of announcing the results has finally arrived.

Haixia Niang woke up before dawn and waited to see the list.

The Ma family has had such a scholar for several generations. If he passes the imperial examination and becomes a scholar, it would be a great honor for our ancestors.

She was so excited that she couldn't sleep a few days ago.

Ji Xiaobei comforted her in time: Haixia is a smart child. If he passes the exam, he will have a career in politics. If he fails, he will have a prosperous life. No matter what, he has tried his best. We should accept the result calmly.

Haixia's mother smiled and said, "Bei, I understand what you said. Haixia's talent is mediocre and cannot be compared with Mr. Liang. Mr. Liang can read a book in one day, while Haixia studied hard for half a month and still cannot understand it as thoroughly as Mr. Liang... I am already very satisfied that he can participate in the imperial examination."

Ji Xiaobei patted her shoulder and said, "Those who pass the exam will fly far away, and those who fail the exam are all filial sons. It's good to have children and grandchildren around them."

Haixia Niang packed up and went to the front yard early. Ma Debiao had already been fed on the small table.

"Aunt, Sister Xiaobei said she'll be here soon after she goes to see Miss Guoguo and Mr. Zhengzheng!"

The little table said.

"Ah... It's so cold, how can we let the boss go with us? It would be terrible if he got cold..."

Before Haixia Niang finished speaking, Ji Xiaobei walked over.

In fact, after the full moon, Ji Xiaobei often went out.

No one can stop it!

Anyway, the children were hungry, so Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Lin would feed them. Whether they were there or not, the two little ones would not suffer any injustice.

Haixia Niang and Ji Xiaobei got on the donkey cart and headed straight for South City.

Haixia was calm and still busy dyeing the cloth.

Haixia Niang thought he had forgotten that today was the day the results would be announced.

"No hurry, wait until I hang up this cloth!" Haixia said.

"Okay, let Shitou do it, wash your hands and follow us!" Ji Xiaobei urged.

Haixia said indifferently: "I can't win, I'm not made of that material..."

Ji Xiaobei: ...This child is too self-aware.

It was difficult to get him into the car.

Several people went to Fuya Street.

There were so many people on the street that the donkey cart couldn't move forward at all, so they got off the cart far away and squeezed through.

Several servants from the Liang family were also trying hard to squeeze forward.

Prefect Liang was even more anxious than Yu Hui, and he asked his servant to come and check the list early in the morning.

Ji Xiaobei led the way in front and squeezed his way to the front.

The top of the list is Liang Yuhui.

She started looking down for the name of Malacca.

Ma Haixia smiled and said, "Sister, look from the back to the front, it will be faster this way!"

Ji Xiaobei: …

Sure enough, the word Malacca was found in the last list.

Haixia Niang fainted immediately.

My son actually won!

The old Ma family produced a scholar.

It is not surprising that Liang Yuhui won the top spot, but it is incredible that Malacca made the list.

Since Huang Po was not around, Ji Xiaobei had no choice but to take action.

He pinched Haixia Niang's philtrum hard to wake her up!

It was foggy all the way from the Strait to the textile workshop. How could he have won?

Did the examiner commit fraud or did he make a mistake in the name?

Is Malacca really him?

Ji Xiaobei asked Xiaozhuo to hurry up and tell Liang Yuyao the news that Yuhui had been admitted to high school.

Ji Xiaobei wanted to hold a banquet to celebrate.

When Fu Jichang heard that Haixia had passed the imperial examination, he rushed back and brought him books.

Ma Haixia held Ji Xiaobei's hand tightly and said, "Sister, I don't want to study anymore!"

Ji Xiaobei:...What, you just passed the exam and you’re not going to continue?

"I have the status of a scholar, my family is exempt from taxes and corvée labor, and the county also subsidizes me with five taels of silver every year. I am satisfied with these. I am not cut out for studying. When I think of studying, I feel uncomfortable all over..."

Fu Jichang was not surprised.

Everyone has their own aspirations. Studying is the best way. But he doesn't like it, and we can't force him to death.

When Haixia Niang heard this, she fainted again.

Only after Mrs. Huang gave her two injections did she breathe a sigh of relief.

She was both angry and anxious. She had finally passed the exam, so why didn't she try again to become a juren?

She would never understand it.

Ji Xiaobei: To pass the imperial examination, one must rely on talent.

Not all scholars can pass the imperial examination.

Just like not everyone can go to a 985 school.

Haixia sat blankly in the donkey shed, thinking for a long time, and decided that he did not want to study. He just wanted to work in a dyeing workshop, earn some money, and get married and have children in the future.

He doesn't have any big pursuits and just wants to live a stable life.

When he met Liang Yuyao for the first time, he secretly made up his mind that he must pass the examination to become a scholar, and then strive to become a juren. Then perhaps he would be able to talk to Miss Liang without being shy.

But during this time in the dyeing workshop, he suddenly figured it out.

When he was studying, he wanted to bang his head against the wall, but when he was working in the dyeing workshop, he was in a good mood.

Liang Yuyao will always be the little fairy in his heart. He just wants to watch her quietly and hope that she will be happy, forever happy.

No matter whether she marries into a wealthy family or marries a stone.

He sincerely wished her well.

Thinking of this, Haixia felt relaxed.

A few days later, Yu Hui was sent to the capital by Governor Liang to study.

Ma Haixia saw him off and watched his carriage disappear at the end of the road.

He waved his hand: All good things in life must come to an end.

Liang Yuhui and I have our own life trajectories.

Haixia learned to read, and Ji Xiaobei asked him to write down the ingredient list and material dosage of the dyeing workshop to standardize the dyeing process.
