After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

When it was their turn, Fang Tong handed the things he brought to the Taoist priest in the temple and knelt down like the others.

Qian Fengping made a silent wish in her heart.

May your family be safe, your children be healthy, and your studies go smoothly...

Then she reached out and picked up the lot holder on the small table in front of her and began to shake the lot.

This was her first time drawing lots, and she was a little worried about what would happen if several of them fell out at once, so she was very careful when shaking the lot.

Fortunately, only one fell out in the end.

She quickly picked it up and went to find the Taoist priest.

Fang Tong was on another cushion and couldn't shake it out no matter how hard he tried. He simply pulled out the longest one and held it in his hand.

The person who interpreted the fortune was a Taoist priest who looked to be no more than 40 or 50 years old, with a big smile on his face.

"The time and the people are in perfect harmony. Good people will endure hardships in the first half of their lives, and enjoy peace and joy in the second half. This is achieved by not forgetting one's roots and working diligently..."

Qian Fengping felt much more at ease after hearing these words. If she had come here before, she might not have believed it so much, but this morning, she had just witnessed the "miracle" on her son and daughter.

"What does this kind man want to see?"

Fang Tong was stunned by the question. He didn't really have any idea, he just followed suit. As for what he wanted to ask...

The Taoist priest suddenly glanced at Qian Fengping beside him.

"A kind person doesn't ask about marriage?"

Fang Tong felt a little embarrassed by the question, "My wife and I are already husband and wife..."

The Taoist priest just looked at him with a smile.

Fang Tong felt even more embarrassed, but honestly, he...

"Then let me ask."

The Taoist priest then looked at the money and was also stunned: "Huh?"

He picked up the lot he had just read and held it in his hands: "Didn't you two notice that you drew the same lot?"

When they both took a look, they saw that it was indeed the case!

The Taoist priest shook his head and saw someone else coming into the hall. He handed the two sticks to the young Taoist priest beside him and asked him to put them back into the stick box.

"Then it's the same old saying, 'It's the right time, it's the right people.' Your marriage was a perfect match, brought about by human effort. 'It's the perfect time,' so there's no need to explain it further, right?"

Their faces flushed slightly at the same time, and they bowed and thanked him awkwardly.

After walking around the Taoist temple, Fang Tong coughed dryly and casually took Qian Niang's hand.

Qian Fengping felt a little embarrassed because they were outside.

But she couldn't pull herself away, so she simply turned her eyes away and pretended nothing had happened. The two of them ate a bowl of dumplings at the stall below the Taoist temple, and then drove the ox cart back home.

After this incident, there were no problems with the systems of Fang Nanzhi and his sister for the time being, and Qian Fengping's heart was finally at peace.

As December arrives, the provincial examination will begin.

Fang Jin wanted to enter the city a day in advance and specially hired an ox cart from the Li family.

When he left, he deliberately drove the ox cart around to Qin's house to take a look. Fang Tong was busy at the time and ignored him even though he knew he was coming.

He was disappointed and left in a car.

Unexpectedly, Qin Shucai arrived just as he left. Fang Tong saw him frowning from a distance, as if something big was bothering him.

"Uncle Fang, I'm here to see Qin Yan."

"He is reading a book with his sister!" Fang Tong knew that Qin Yan had a good relationship with this cousin, and he had also heard a little about them. He had a good impression of them, but he got a headache when he thought of the people in his family.

When Qin Yan heard his voice, he wanted to call for help. Fang Nanzhi saw that he was about to move the wheelchair and ran to the door and opened it: "Brother Shucai, come in!"

Qin Shucai came to apologize. He told Qin Yan what he discovered his grandfather was planning that day, and also told him about the dispute between them.

"I'm sorry, I feel so sorry for you. Mr. Mingming helped me so much when he was alive, but now I can't help you at all. My family and clan are still together..."

"Brother."

Qin Yan interrupted him. It was obvious that his cousin had been troubled by this matter recently, and his face was full of guilt. This was not what he wanted to see.

"This is not your fault. I know what kind of person you are, but the patriarch is the patriarch, and you are you. Even if you are his grandson, you can't change his mind, just like he can't change yours."

Qin Shucai felt even more uncomfortable when he heard his understanding.

"But I can't pretend that this matter has nothing to do with me. It's clearly caused by me..."

He is really stuck in a dead end.

Fang Nanzhi had been quietly doing her homework, but as she listened, she felt something was wrong. She clapped her hands and said, "Brother Shucai, how can you say that? Oh, it seems you haven't experienced enough!"

The atmosphere was not very good to begin with, but the little girl's tone of voice was so interesting that the two brothers couldn't help but feel sad.

Qin Yan thought this was a good idea. He might as well let Nanzhi speak. His sister was quite eloquent. The most important thing was that counseling people was not like taking an exam. Sometimes she needed some of the "wrong logic" she inherited from Uncle Fang.

"Then tell me, what have you encountered?"

The little girl cleared her throat and sat down next to the two of them.

"Brother Shucai, you're really too kind. You know my cousin, right? From my perspective as someone who's experienced this, I can tell you that this incident wasn't caused by you, it was caused by 'money'!"

Qin Shucai seemed to be hit on the head by a stick, and he suddenly understood what enlightenment meant.

Even Qin Yan was surprised.

Fang Nanzhi sat back down, shaking his head, and picked up the pen again: "No matter whether Brother Shucai takes the imperial examination or not, as long as our family is still making money, people will definitely keep an eye on us. Not only will Brother's family members keep an eye on us, but others will too!"

"It's no use for Brother Shucai to apologize. We're all used to it!"

Qin Yan felt something was wrong with the conversation and quickly interrupted it.

"Zhizhi is right. This matter is not caused by you, and you don't have to take it on yourself. Since our family is in business, we know what's going on."

He patted his cousin's shoulder, whose complexion had improved somewhat. "Brother, your studies are more important. Don't let these trivial matters affect your studies."

Qin Shucai had sincerely wanted to come and apologize, but he didn't expect to be comforted by the brother and sister. The depression he had been feeling for the past few days was swept away, and he also understood a little bit.

"Thank you and Zhizhi for your guidance. I feel much better now, but I will remember this incident. If you need me in the future, just come find me. Remember that I am on your side."

Qin Yan nodded, and then he set off into the city.

During dinner, the family talked about this matter. Qian Fengping sighed and wondered how such a good bamboo shoot could come from the Qin clan leader's family, which were all bad bamboos.

The next day, the provincial examination officially began.

Outside the examination room, there was not only the self-heating rice that Qin Shucai had mentioned before, but also a bun stall and all kinds of food.

Fang Tong and the others had discussed it long ago that on this day, he would bring his daughter to set up a stall to sell cakes.

"Wow, Dad, it's really lively!"

The little girl was sitting on the ox cart, looking around. What she saw was shocking!

"father!"

She quickly went over and tugged at her father's sleeve, and both father and daughter's eyes fell on the self-heating rice stall.

Aren’t those setting up the stall He and Fang Qingya?
