Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

"The gifts our family gave her were the best in the village, what can she say?" Xiao Lan said. "Now I think the old lady has come to her senses, now as long as Xiao Cao's father doesn't bother her, she'll be quite happy."

Now Sheng Kai is completely free, he goes to Cui's place to make trouble every day, sometimes, Cui will compromise with Sheng Kai in order to avoid the quiet, just like during the August Festival, Cui's money is loose, in order to have a better time of the festival, she gave Sheng Kai some sweetness. This sweetness is naturally giving Sheng Kai some silver, but she doesn't care what Sheng Kai will do with the silver.

Cui is a selfish old lady. She only worries about herself and never considers her family and children and grandchildren... This may have something to do with this era, because in this era, there are requirements and functions for women.

"The old lady is old...it's time for her to give in..." Xiaoyan said.

"In the past, no one bothered her, but she would find something to cause trouble. Now, she wants to live a peaceful life, but things have turned around. Xiaocao's father has started to make trouble." Xiaolan said.

"That's what they call one thing conquers another," Xiaoyan said, and then asked Xiaoye, "I think Fourth Uncle doesn't come to the old house very often..."

"My dad still goes, but not as often as before," Xiao Ye said, "Every time my dad goes, the old lady always grumbles to him and says bad things about me and my mom... My dad doesn't like to hear it... so he goes less and less... No one likes to hear this..."

"Although my fourth uncle rarely goes to the old house, the old lady treats him much better than before." Xiao Lan said with a smile.

Now Sheng Hao is no longer as obedient to the old lady and does not wrong his wife and children as he did in the past. On the contrary, Cui is not as casual with him as before. Now Cui treats Sheng Hao very warmly, but I don't know how long this illusion can last.

"I went to the old house today. When I went there, the old lady was preparing meals with my sister-in-law. I saw that the old lady had a smile on her face and looked very happy. The dishes prepared there were quite rich. Now, the old lady has come to her senses and she is willing to eat..."

Xiaoyan smiled and said, "These are all things sent over here. Why would she be reluctant to give them up?"

A few people chatted and laughed until the banquet at the fish pond was over, and then the adults came to take Xiaoye and Xiaoyan back home. Because they all lived in the same village, everyone smiled and refused Xiaolan's family's car ride, saying that it was just a matter of lifting their legs, and they could drink some wine on the way.

Sheng Xuan returned to the house, drank a bowl of sobering soup, and then the family sat together and chatted, "I wonder how Xiaowen did in the exam?" Sheng Xuan said with a smile.

Zhang and Xiaolan looked at Shengxuan and knew that he must be happy and drunk tonight. But now, he was still thinking about Xiaowen. However, his mood was the same as Zhang's, both of them were thinking about their children who were away from home.

Zhang took over Sheng Xuan's conversation, "It's getting cold at night now, I wonder if your brother has bought some more clothes? Oh, I wonder what he ate today?" A mother worries about her son even when he is far away. Although Xiaowen is in the house in the capital, Zhang still misses him. Zhang said a lot of things, but she didn't mention how Xiaowen did in the exam, or whether Xiaowen could pass. Because as a mother, Zhang never focused on these things, but only on the healthy growth of her children.

"Mom, don't worry. Even if Xiaowen doesn't want to add clothes himself, the people who serve him will remember it." Xiao Lan said.

"But Xiaowen only has Xiaoxi with him. Boys are different from girls. No matter how attentive and careful a boy is, he can't be as thoughtful as a girl..." Zhang said, "I haven't seen Xiaowen for more than half a year." Zhang looked out the window and sighed.

Xiao Lan glanced at Zhang and said, "Mom, are you missing Xiao Wen?"

I miss my family more during every festival. The ancients were right, especially on August 15th, the Family Reunion Festival. This festival is a day for families to reunite. It would be strange if Zhang didn't miss her children.

"Yes, that was a piece of flesh that fell off my body. How could I not miss it?" Zhang said.

Xiao Lan hurriedly comforted her, "Mom, Xiao Wen will be back soon... He will definitely be back after he finishes his exams, and you will be able to see him soon..."

In the next few days, Zhang counted the days to the day. One morning, Xiao Lan had just finished a set of health exercises at home when she heard a loud noise and the sound of a gong outside.

Xiao Lan was confused and quickly sent Xiao Lu to the outside to see what was going on. After a while, Xiao Lu came back with a happy face.

"Second Miss, this is great news," Xiaolu was very excited. Maybe she ran too fast, so she was panting as she spoke. "The young master passed the provincial examination." Then Xiaolu handed a piece of good news to Xiaolan, "This is the young master's good news. The master just received it. When he saw me passing by, he asked me to bring it to the madam and the young lady to see."

Xiao Lan quickly took the good news and looked at it carefully.

At this time, Zhang also came over, "Xiao Lan, what does it say above? Read it to me quickly." Zhang was so happy at this time that she hurriedly urged Xiao Lan.

After Zhang heard the good news, she was even happier to know that Xiaowen got the seventh place in this provincial examination. From scholar to juren, although these two positions are close to each other, there are many scholars who study for a lifetime and are still students, and there are also many scholars who can never reach the level of juren in their lifetime. From scholar to juren, the knowledge to be learned is very huge. Scholars cannot be officials. At most, they can be staff members and teachers for others, but juren can be directly appointed as officials. Of course, when Sheng Nuo was the county magistrate of Hejian County before, it happened that the court was recruiting people and was specially conscripted, but for now, scholars cannot be directly appointed as officials.

Seeing Zhang and Xiaolan so happy, Xiaolu continued to report, "Just now, a group of servants came to announce the good news and said that the young master will be back soon. They took the lead to announce the good news. Young Master Xiaowen will be here soon."
