After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

When they arrived at the ancestral hall, the door was open. When they walked in, they saw many people kneeling inside.

Everyone was waiting anxiously and came to ask for blessings from their ancestors.

Lin Wenxuan had no memory of this at all. The wedding was still ten days away and the Lin family’s home had already been renovated.

He was busy going to the city to order a banquet. The last time Ye Chenjing got married, he invited Fu'an Pavilion, which he thought was very good, so he chose Fu'an Pavilion this time as well.

Ye Qing started to get nervous. She used to think it didn't matter, but now she was very scared.

She doesn't want to leave home, she wants to live with her parents.

Although she and Wang had a good relationship, after getting married, she certainly couldn't sleep with Wang whenever she wanted.

What if he can’t get along with his two sisters-in-law? Ye Qing was very anxious. He couldn’t sleep well at night and woke up after a while.

Wei Xin, Zheng Qin and Ling Rong all helped at home, and the house was filled with dowry items.

Boss Ye and Mrs. Zhou loved their daughter so much that they bought her everything they could think of.

Wei Xin was the first to notice Ye Qing's dark circles, and she called Ye Qing to their room.

"Qingya, what's wrong with you? Why do you seem unhappy these past two days?"

"Sister-in-law, I don't want to get married."

Wei Xin was shocked. "Why do you suddenly not want to get married? What did Wenxuan do to make you unhappy?"

Ye Qing said gloomily, "No, I'm just afraid. I feel that if I leave you and my parents, I will be an adult. What if I don't get along well with the Lin family?"

Wei Xin looked at Ye Qing with amusement, "Qingya, you were in this state before we got married. Our family and the Lin family are in the same village, and you have a good relationship with the Lin family, but you are still afraid of getting married. At that time, we didn't even know our family members, and we were even more panicked."

"Sister-in-law, why are you willing to get married again in the end?" Ye Qing looked at her with curiosity.

"My family also asked about our family. They all said that we were honest and kind, and the elders were kind. We felt that a family with such a reputation must be good." Wei Xin recalled the scene at that time.

She is different from others. She also has to consider her family and wants to find a man with many brothers who can take care of her younger brother.

They live alone in Ji Village, and finding a strong relative is the basis for them to gain a foothold.

Ye Qing felt much better after she said it. She was just overthinking it. She came back when she was unhappy. Her home was so close that even after she got home, the Lin family might not know she was gone.

Zhou had noticed something was wrong with her daughter a long time ago, but she didn't know how to persuade her.

Zhou was even more satisfied with Wei Xin. This eldest daughter-in-law was a good choice. She was filial to her parents-in-law and caring to her brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Anyone in the Ye family who is free comes to help out at Ye’s house, buy things, and send invitations to relatives and friends.

Some people went to the Lin family to help, and some married girls posted invitations.

Ye Qing also has many partners, such as bookstores, and some caravans need to be invited.

There were more people attending the wedding this time. They set up a tent in front of the village meeting hall and set up the banquet there.

The meeting room was also opened up, with tables set up and filled with distinguished guests.

The whole village of Kaoshan was in action. Several workshops were closed for that day, and Ye Qing invited them to a banquet.

Ye Qing had already told them in advance that they just needed to come over and that he would not accept any gifts.

Everyone in these workshops was grateful for Ye Qing's kindness to them. Although Ye Qing said he would not accept gifts, they still prepared gifts.

The embroiderer in the embroidery workshop embroidered a few small screens for Ye Qing, which could be placed on the table.

Others also pooled their money to buy a small gift. Although it was not expensive, it was a token of their thoughtfulness.

Early in the morning, Boss Ye took his nephews to count the dowry and register every item.

"Uncle, is the village head here? Dalang asked me to deliver a letter. Someone in the village passed the imperial examination and the government will come to announce the good news soon."

Ye Fang came out of the house and came to see how the dowry was prepared.

"Da Lang, did you tell me who passed the imperial examination and how many people in our village did?" Ye Fang's voice was a little trembling.

"Village head, the government office only received the letter. The officials from the prefecture are still outside the city. We only know that there are two in our village." Ye Yao's face turned red with excitement.

"Okay, two is not a small number. Other villages don't even have one scholar. Hurry, everyone go to the meeting room. We will prepare the incense table over there. Everyone go over there to listen to the news." Ye Fang took people to the meeting room to prepare first.

Old Man Ye couldn't sit still anymore, so he asked everyone in his family to go to the meeting room.

Thinking about her grandson who was going home to take an exam, Mrs. Li went back to the house and took out a few red envelopes, which she had prepared in advance.

If her own grandson is among them, she can also give some gift money as a gift to the official who comes to deliver the letter.

The good news spread quickly and the whole village heard about it. Soon, the entrance of the meeting hall was surrounded by people.

Ye Fang didn't know who had passed the imperial examination, so he called everyone in his family who was going to take the exam to the front.

We waited for half an hour, but there was still no movement.

None of the people gathered here were impatient, and everyone was talking about who had the best chance of passing the exam.

When Ye Qing came back from the dock, the house was empty, with no one there.

I just came back safely to get tea for Old Man Ye, and then I realized that everyone was in the conference room.

As she and Ping An arrived at the door of the conference hall, the sound of gongs and drums came from the official road outside.

"Here they come, the officers are here." The young man standing closest to the village entrance shouted.

Ye Fang led people to the village entrance to greet them, and everyone else was waiting here.

Soon Ye Fang came with his men, his face beaming with joy. Several officials looked at how well prepared Kaoshan Village was and nodded with satisfaction.

"Sir, who in our village passed the imperial examination and became a juren?" Ye Fang asked cautiously.

No one in his family took the exam, so he was happy for anyone in the village who passed.

The bailiff stood at the front of the crowd and opened the scroll in his hand.

"Is Ye Chenyu's family here?"

Ye Laosan and Wei were a little bit unbelieving. It was only after being pushed that they reacted.

"Yes, yes, we are Ye Chenyu's parents." Ye Lao San was so excited that he was a little incoherent.

Old Man Ye and Mrs. Li were also pushed out and looked at the officer excitedly.

"Ye Chenyu is from Kaoshan Village in Wu'an City. His father is Ye Wenhan and his mother is Wei Guifang. He ranked 36th in this provincial examination."

Wei helped Li wipe her tears, saying that the children had made progress and the family had not spent money in vain to support their education.

Old Man Ye looked better than the others and took out two red envelopes that Li had left with him.

"Thank you for coming all the way here to deliver the good news."

Several yamen runners smiled when they saw the red envelope.

"Congratulations, old man. Let us share in your good wishes." The runner took the red envelope.

Everyone else looked at Ye Laosan's family with envy. Old man Ye, with his somewhat hunched body, stood straight, and he looked several years younger.

Ye Fang asked someone to invite them aside, and there was another person in the village who also passed the imperial examination.
