The old lady didn't hide it.

It was said that this was a gift from Wulang and his wife.

Mosquito coils were also made by Wulang’s wife.

The village chief, clan elders and village elders all looked at Lu Shao with much more loving eyes.

Praise him for marrying a good wife.

Lu Shao also responded with a modest smile.

It also made the elders discover that Wu Lang was obviously different from what was previously said.

Look how humble, polite, and talkative he is.

Not only did they not look down on the elderly people in the village, they were also very respectful.

The young couple still thought of giving mosquito coils to these old people. What nice children they have.

Judging from Wu Lang's appearance, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would talk back or disobey his elders.

They have also heard a lot about Lu Qingrong's family in the past few days.

I can't help but sigh that one should marry a virtuous wife.

The widow that Lu Qingrong married later was obviously a stepmother with a sweet face but a bitter heart.

Those words that were unfavorable to Wu Lang were probably spread by this stepmother to ruin his reputation.

The elders' impression of Lu Shao improved a lot, while their impression of Lu Qingrong and his wife declined a lot.

Especially towards Yu Wanzhi, he even began to dislike her.

One of the elders couldn't help but ask Mrs. Lu, "I heard that your daughter-in-law hit you?"

Mrs. Lu was still holding her breath. "Yes, she is an unfilial person. I have been deceived by her before."

"Not only did she push me down, she also pretended to be sick and tried to frame me as her mother-in-law."

"He even instigated Lao Wu to get close to and help Lao Yu's family."

"It's unfortunate for our family to have such a daughter-in-law."

Then he complained a lot more about how Yu Wanzhi subsidized her parents' home.

Hearing this, the village chief, clan elders and village elders all shook their heads, thinking that such a daughter-in-law was really outrageous.

No wonder she was kicked out by her late husband’s family. She must have a bad character.

Lu Qingrong was too confused. He just listened to the woman's advice and even ignored his own son.

Especially the elders of the Lu family, they couldn't help but wonder, with Lu Qingrong's personality, can he really pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi in the future?

If he becomes successful, will he really bring the Lu family members to prosperity together?

Why does it feel like it's not that reliable?

They were upset because they supported Lu Qingrong for a long time but ended up making things difficult for the Yu family.

But looking at Wulang like this, he seems more like a man of affection and righteousness.

Especially since the old lady said that their family makes mosquito coils and sells them.

I don't want to just make money for myself, I also want to help the villagers.

So we have to harvest the mugwort and pine cones in two days.

They can ask their family members to prepare first, and then take it over directly when the time comes. The Lu family will definitely accept it.

This made the eyes of the clan elders and village elders light up.

Cutting mugwort and picking pine cones is easy. You just need to put in a little effort and you can actually earn money from it.

This kind of thing really shows that the Lu family is taking care of the villagers.

So they all agreed with a smile.

He also praised Lu Shao, saying that although the young couple were young, they were very responsible and affectionate.

It is rare to think of making money together with the villagers.

They might not be able to do it if they were in their place.

In contrast, Lu Qingrong only said a few nice words, never actually helped the villagers, and was arrogant from time to time.

It’s still people like Goro who are humble and likable.

An elder couldn't help but look at Lu Shao lovingly and asked, "Wulang, how are you doing with your studies now? Do you want to continue taking the imperial examinations?"

Lu Shao found that his young wife's method was very effective.

With the benefits, the attitudes of the elders have indeed changed a lot.

Of course, this is normal.

The prosperity of the world is for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

The young wife saw this and took advantage of it, and he also learned a lesson.

He smiled modestly and replied, "It was a good read. The Master said I can continue."

"And I am also confident about the county exam next year."

The elder smiled happily and said, "Very good, you can tell from the looks of it that you will have a bright future."

"Do well in the exam and bring honor to our Lu family and the village."

Lu Shao bowed to him politely, "I will follow your instructions, uncle!"

Then he said meaningfully: "If I can pass the exam, I will never forget my people and our village in the future."

Therefore, the clan elders and village elders can completely transfer the bets placed on his father to him.

Of course, no matter what he said now, these elders would change their minds, but they would not immediately turn to directly support him.

But he has to pass the exam and become a scholar.

When the elder heard this, his eyes were filled with even more kindness. "Take the test well. If you have any questions that you cannot solve, you can ask the chief and us elders for help."

He will go and talk about this with other elders of the Lu family later.

There is no need to put all your hopes on Lu Qingrong, he thinks Lu Shao is pretty good.

Lu Shao smiled and nodded, "Okay!"

This time, I delivered mosquito coils and interacted with the elders, and the effect was very good.

At least their impression of him has changed, and it is no longer what his stepmother had spread.

I just wonder how the county magistrate and his classmates will react when they receive the candles and mosquito coils he sent them today?

I think everyone will like it.

county seat.

Magistrate Lu took the two wooden boxes given by Lu Shao back to the courtyard where he lived.

His wife saw this and smiled and asked, "What are you holding?"

Magistrate Lu replied, "A young friend sent me some candles and mosquito coils."

His wife was stunned. "Why should I give you a candle? What is a mosquito coil?"

Even the most expensive candles are not suitable for gifts.

Besides, they have no shortage of candles at home.

Magistrate Lu was actually curious, "It is said that his wife made these candles specially for him."

"Mosquito coils are a type of incense that repels and kills mosquitoes."

"I opened them and he said the big box contained candles and the small box contained mosquito coils."

He opened the large wooden box first, and then he was stunned.

His wife came over to take a look and exclaimed, "Is this a candle?"

Magistrate Lu was also surprised. He tiptoed and took out a lifelike bamboo candle from the wooden box.

And put it on the table, and only after careful inspection did I find the candle thread.

He used a tinder to light the ends of a few leaves.

Then the top of the emerald green leaves suddenly lit up.

Gradually, I could smell a fresh and elegant bamboo fragrance.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "This candle is really special and elegant. I like the scent too."

It can be seen that the brightness of this candle after it is lit is brighter than the good candle he is using now.

Besides its unique and lifelike shape, its fragrance is also very appealing.

His wife was born into a wealthy family. She saw that the candle looked very much like real bamboo and she also thought the fragrance was pleasant.

She also liked the candle. "Your friend is really thoughtful, and his wife is also very skillful."

She had never seen such candles in the capital, which proved that only her husband Xiaoyou's wife could make them.

Magistrate Lu stroked his beard and said, "You are indeed thoughtful."

This thing touched his heart, he usually liked elegant things.

Then he blew out the candles, "I'll invite a few friends over in a couple of days to enjoy the candles and drink."

When his wife heard this, she knew that her husband's old habit of showing off had come back again.

However, this particularly elegant candle is indeed suitable for inviting friends to watch the candles and drink.

When they were in the capital, everyone loved to show off their rare gadgets.

The women just made a few beautiful clothes or a set of nice jewelry.

She also liked to wear it and go out to invite other ladies to appreciate the flowers.

It’s a pity that this is not in the capital, otherwise I could invite a few close friends to enjoy the candlelight and write poetry.

She pointed at the small box and said, "Let's take a look at that mosquito coil."
