At this time, the whole Sheng family was laughing and talking happily, including Grandpa Sheng, Sheng Nuo, Sheng Kai and Sheng Hong.

"Brother, you are going to be rich this time. Since the government has issued a document asking us to go back to the village and wait for news, I estimate that this matter is almost certain." Sheng Kai winked at Sheng Nuo.

The fact that Sheng Nuo might become an official made Sheng Nuo very proud. Although he was only asked to go home and wait for news, the old Sheng family felt that it was very likely that he would become an official.

If Sheng Nuo could really become an official, even though he was only a scholar, it would be the fulfillment of Mr. Sheng's long-cherished wish. Over the years, the old Sheng family has been tightening their belts to support Sheng Nuo and Sheng Hong to study, but Sheng Nuo has always been stuck at the scholar level, and Sheng Hong has not even passed the examination to become a scholar. In general, the eldest family asked for more from the old Sheng family and gave less in return, which made the old Sheng family live a very tight life.

Now that his eldest son is about to become an official, he should give back to this big family. Mr. Sheng thought that with Sheng Nuo's official position, the social status of the old Sheng family would be greatly improved, which is obviously a good thing.

Perhaps it was because people were in high spirits when good things happened, and Wang and Pang Xiu'e gradually got better.

"It would be great if my father could go to Jiangnan to be an official. It is said that Jiangnan is extremely wealthy, and many poems and essays describe the scenery there as picturesque. I have long wanted to go and see it." Sheng Hong said. In fact, he wanted to say that Jiangnan is rich in beauties, but when he looked at Xu who was sitting next to him, he swallowed the words.

"Why are you in such a hurry? We haven't even decided what will happen yet. We have to go home and wait for news. The specific situation will depend on the arrangements of the court." Sheng Nuo said with some pride.

"All the things I did before were for today. In order to become an official, Xiaoru was brought into the Sun family. There were also child brides and loan sharks. I suffered so many cold stares and got scolded. But in the end, none of these things came true. In fact, thanks to the southward march of the Hu soldiers, the court had no one available and had to recruit more officials. Alas, it's all about time and fate." Sheng Nuo sighed.

Mr. Sheng was also a little sad, but when he thought that the final result was still good and that he had to look forward and not look back, he felt relieved.

"Dad, when are we going back to the village? Don't delay my eldest brother's important event." Sheng Kai said to Grandpa Sheng with a smile, "We should also go back to the village to rest so that we can follow my eldest brother to take office."

Sheng Nuo was really shocked by Sheng Kai's words, and he couldn't help but look at Wang. The couple exchanged glances and thought that it might be difficult to get rid of the dog-skin plaster of the second family, because the old Sheng family has not split up. As long as the old man follows him to take office, the whole family will probably follow him. As long as Sheng Kai's rogue and difficult character is thought of, and how he can't get rid of this piece of shit plaster in the future, Sheng Nuo gets a headache.

"Brothers fight tigers together, and fathers and sons fight in battle. My elder brother and I are brothers from the same mother. If you have anything to say, I promise to do everything you ask me to do." Sheng Kai smiled and flattered Sheng Nuo. "Now that elder brother has a bright future, this is what our whole family has been looking forward to for a long time. This is the great merit of our ancestors. If it weren't for you, our days in our village would have been numbered. Why would we have to tighten our belts every day? Now that elder brother has finally made it, we will definitely follow him."

"Dad, I haven't got any clue about my official position yet. I don't know if I have to wait another year or two, or three or four years. There will be a lot of money to spend in the future. There is no one in our family who can work. They will have to drag down dad, mom, the second brother, and the fourth brother. I really feel bad about it." Sheng Nuo looked at Grandpa Sheng sincerely and said.

When Old Master Sheng was looked at like this by Sheng Nuo, his mind turned several times, and he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart. The eldest brother's words were full of meaning. You know, when he was supporting him to study, he never said anything about whether he was a burden or not. Now that he has a little chance of becoming an official, Sheng Nuo is not only afraid of being a burden to his brothers, but also afraid of being a burden to him and Cui.

Mr. Sheng did not answer immediately, but filled his pipe with dry tobacco. When he was lighting the cigarette, he shook it several times before he finally got it lit.

After taking a few puffs, Mr. Sheng said earnestly, "We've lived through so many years. If we wanted to be a burden, we would have done so long ago. We are a family, so we can't have different opinions. Boss, you must not lose your conscience. Your mother and I are not dead yet."

"Dad, look at what you said. You must have misunderstood me," Shen Nuo defended.

"That's good. In that case, let's go back to Shengjia Village and wait for news. We can also take care of the land." Grandpa Sheng said, "We are a big family, and we should work together. Only in this way can we live a good life and have a future."

After Mr. Sheng finished speaking, Cui took out some money and said, "Let's cut some meat and buy some vegetables tonight so that everyone can have a good meal to celebrate for the boss. Tomorrow we will start packing and return to Sheng's village."

The whole family started to get busy.

Xiaolan's family was also unusually busy. Ever since Xiaolan received a five-year exemption from corvée labor from Shen Liu a few days ago, the family was really excited for a while. After the excitement, the family continued to devote themselves to making soap.
