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

"Second uncle sent it?"

Fang Nanzhi leaned over and saw it, and couldn't help but feel happy.

Qin Yan nodded slightly and thanked Uncle Wu.

Uncle Wu waved his hand: "We're all neighbors, so there's nothing wrong with that!"

After he left, the family opened the door and entered the yard.

When they arrived at the main house, the whole family gathered together to read the letter.

The letter roughly stated that Fang Yin arrived in the capital twenty days ago.

After he arrived in the capital, he had some difficulty acclimatizing himself to the climate there and was ill for a long time, so he did not write back.

The master called a doctor for him and he got better after he drank a lot of bitter medicine.

Fang Yin felt that the doctors in the capital were not very good, so he asked Zhizhi if she could prescribe sweet medicine for him after she became his apprentice.

He lived in the General's Mansion, which was quite large and had a separate courtyard. He had three full meals a day, including venison.

Unfortunately, the master said to send someone to bring it back, otherwise it would become smelly if left for too long, so it could not be given to Zhizhi to eat.

He went to Guifangzhai on the street and bought some Beijing specialty snacks, thinking Zhizhi would like them. He saw Mr. Liu reading a book, saying it was for the exam to become a scholar, so he went to several bookstores to buy it for Brother Yan.

Also, his master's wife said that women all like fabrics with beautiful patterns and colors, so he asked her to help him choose two pieces of cloth for his sister-in-law.

As for my third brother, he didn't buy a gift because he didn't have enough money! The books and fabrics were too expensive, so he would buy them next time he had money.

However, he felt that his third brother would be happy if his sister-in-law dressed beautifully.

Next, he missed home very much and hoped that Brother Yan could pass the imperial examination and come to Beijing so that the family could be reunited.

If it really doesn't work, just wait for him to return home after completing his apprenticeship.

Fang Nanzhi's eyes were wet, but she held back her tears.

Qian Fengping is the same. She treats her second brother like her own brother.

Her elder brother had spent his whole life plotting how to exchange her for a betrothal gift or money, but her second brother was still thinking about buying her fabric.

Qin Yanze rummaged through the bundle and found another letter, written by the general himself.

Both the handwriting and the wording reveal a decisive and vigorous approach.

At the beginning, the general apologized for the delay in sending the letter and explained that Fang Yin was ill, but he was stubborn and refused to let anyone else write for him. He insisted on waiting until he was well enough to write it himself.

Then he mentioned the new wheat seeds, which had been given to Sinong Temple and were being trial-planted, hinting that the Fang family should keep a low profile before the results came out.

Finally, he left the specific address of the general's mansion so that they could visit him if they came to Beijing one day.

After reading the two letters, Qian Fengping touched her daughter's face and said, "Second brother should be doing well. Mr. Liu and his mistress are taking good care of him."

Otherwise, why would one choose books for him and the other choose fabrics?

Fang Nanzhi nodded: "Then we should also give them some gifts."

"Well, there is still money, but my second uncle has no money to spend." Qin Yan said helplessly.

The money they brought to Second Uncle was for him to have some pocket money, so why did he spend it all as soon as he arrived in Beijing?

"Then hurry up. After all, living under someone else's roof requires money. Rich families often reward their servants. You have to tell my second brother about this."

Qian Fengping is more careful after all.

Fang Nanzhi scratched his head: "Will Second Uncle be willing to give it up?"

Well, that's hard to say.

Fang Yin is stingy in some aspects, just like Fang Tong.

The family felt better and started to unpack.

Two packs of snacks, three books, and two pieces of cloth.

Qian Fengping touched the pink embroidered cloth, which was soft and smooth. She was amazed: "No wonder the money was gone. This cloth looks expensive."

Anyway, there is no material with this pattern in Huai'an Prefecture.

"But the color is so tender, it would be a shame for me to wear it. I'll make some clothes for Zhizhi later."

Fang Nan shook the branch like a rattle: "No, mother, this is for you, and I have a lot of clothes."

She was no longer the little girl in the Fang family who had only one set of ragged clothes that she wore over and over again, patching them up when they were torn, until she could only get a set of Su Qingya's old clothes when they were no longer wearable.

Her mother loved her very much and made clothes for her when she had free time.

Fang Nanzhi has the most clothes in the family, even Qin Yan can't compare to her.

It’s not Qian Fengping’s fault for being partial. The main reason is that her son only wears black and white. He is at the age of being a young man full of vigor and vitality, and his clothes don’t look lively at all.

When asked, Qin Yan said that he was too good-looking and was afraid that if he dressed more conspicuously, he would attract more attention.

To be honest, this was the first time Qian Fengping was choked by her son.

She was too lazy to care about it, so she made all kinds of clothes for her daughter and dressed her up, which gave her a great sense of accomplishment.

"Mom, do it for yourself. You are the right age and you will look pretty in pink!" Fang Nanzhi nestled in her arms, her little mouth as sweet as honey.

Qian Fengping felt a little embarrassed and pinched her nose.

Qin Yan said gently, "This piece of cloth is big enough. I think mother and sister can each wear one. When they wear them outside, others can tell they are mother and daughter at a glance."

This time, Qian Fengping was really moved and did not refuse anymore.

Qin Yan flipped through the three books, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

These are actually the examination questions for the scholars in the past five years in several major cities, including the capital, Yongzhou City, Huaiyang Prefecture, etc.!

There are also answer sheets for the top scorers in each game.

How could my second uncle possibly buy this thing?

He went to bookstores to look for the Huai'an Prefecture Examination papers, but couldn't find any. Later, he heard from a classmate that old papers were priceless and only the powerful or wealthy could obtain them.

Qin Yan already understood that it was probably Master Liu who helped his second uncle.

He remembered this favor.

Fang Nanzhi opened the snack, gave two pieces to her brother and mother, and then stuffed it into her own mouth.

"Well, there's stuffing."

"Second uncle said it's called pineapple cake." Qin Yan also thought it tasted good.

"Delicious? I'll think about it later."

The family chatted for a while, and Qin Yan said that he would buy some cacti tomorrow and put them in a circle under the wall.

Although Uncle Wu had no ill intentions today, his behavior was still scary.

Since there are no young men in their family now, they have to be careful.

Fang Nanzhi suggested: "How about putting some thorns on the wall?"

"Okay, I'll do it tomorrow. You two don't have to worry about it. It's time to go to bed early." Qian Fengping looked at the sky and urged.

After the prince left, the city returned to its former tranquility.

Although Lord Wang and others regretted that their own nephews and nephews had not been able to make friends with the powerful, others had not been successful either.

Since no one has made a name for themselves, it's not difficult for us to accept reality together.

Lord Wang was somewhat disappointed with his nephew, so he arranged for him to stay in a college and study, and then he left him alone.

Other families also encourage their children to study, hoping that they can succeed in the future based on their own abilities.

Everyone is too envious of the prince who is the only one taken away by the crown prince.

Firstly, the Prince of a County was originally a member of the royal family. Secondly, the Prince's move to Beijing was almost at the cost of breaking off relations with the Prince of a County.

That’s right, for some reason the Prince opposed the Crown Prince’s trip to Beijing, which led to the Crown Prince personally visiting the Prince’s Mansion.

The prince agreed.

But he asked his son to get married before going, and arranged a marriage for his son. The woman was the daughter of a small aristocratic family in Jiangnan.

But the prince would not accept it. What a joke. He had finally taken this step. Could he allow the prince to place spies around him?

Qing Min knew very well that his father was panicking. Seeing that his eldest illegitimate brother had no future, his father finally wanted to seize this son.
