I'm not worried about traveling through a farmer's house. I made my fortune by farming.

Now that Xie Ping is married, the next one will be Xie An. Now that the Xie family is doing better, there is no need to worry about his marriage. He can choose someone he likes in the future.

Everyone in the Xie family knows about the good life they are living now, and they are all grateful to the Lin family. The Lin family has always been willing to help with their family affairs without any hesitation.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. We're all family, it's so awkward to talk about this."

Mother Lin held Mrs. Xie's hand, patted it gently, lowered her head and told her to take care of her health. She turned around and waved to everyone in the Xie family, then got on the ox cart with the Lin family.

It was getting late, and if I didn't hurry back, I would have to travel at night. I also had a lot of things to do at home, so I couldn't stay here any longer.

After the Lin family's ox cart had gone far away and could no longer be seen, the Xie family members turned around and entered the yard.

Xie Ping's marriage was arranged smoothly, and everyone finally felt relieved.

As the days passed, in addition to taking care of household chores, the Lin family also visited the Lu family from time to time to look after Grandma Lu, helping her chop wood and fetch water, so that Lu Yanzhou could prepare for the autumn examination with peace of mind.

Before the autumn harvest, news came that Lu Yanzhou had passed the imperial examination, and Qingxi Village became lively again.

In the spring, Lu Yanzhou passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, but not many people in the village paid much attention to it. Unexpectedly, he passed the imperial examination in the autumn and became a juren.

This was the first time in the entire Qingxi Village. Even Master Li, the most learned man in the neighboring village, only passed the examination to become a scholar.

Originally, there were only two people left in the Lu family, the grandfather and the grandson. No one in the village was optimistic about Lu Yanzhou going to the town to study. Unexpectedly, Lu Yanzhou relied on the money left by his parents and the money he earned from copying books for others in the town.

He persisted and had the help of the Lin family from time to time. If the Lin family had not often gone to the Lu family to help take care of Grandma Lu, Lu Yanzhou would not have been able to study in the town with such peace of mind.

I didn't expect that he actually passed the imperial examination and became a juren. He is the first juren from Qingxi Village. Even if he meets the county magistrate in the town, he can have a say.

The people in the village were talking about it. Lu Yanzhou was following Lin Changting's ox cart, swaying back to Qingxi Village.

"Yanzhou, my family knows that you passed the imperial examination. They have prepared a meal and are waiting for you to come back to celebrate."

Lin Changting grinned and waved the whip in his hand, thinking of rushing back quickly. He was also happy to know that Lu Yanzhou had passed the imperial examination.

The two families have always had a good relationship, and he treats Lu Yanzhou like his own brother. Passing the imperial examination is a huge event in Qingxi Village.

After hearing Lin Changting's words, Lu Yanzhou looked straight into the distance, pursed his lips and said nothing. The clenched fists under his sleeves revealed his mood at the moment.

Lin Changting drove the ox cart straight back to the gate of the Lin family compound and stopped.

Mother Lin had already brought Grandma Lu to the Lin family early in the morning. She was sitting in the main room, and Lin Changan was chatting with her to relieve her boredom.

Lin Yunchu and Pan Xiuxiu were in the kitchen preparing dinner for tonight when suddenly bursts of exclamations were heard from the yard.

"I guess Yanzhou is back."

Pan Xiuxiu smiled as she brought out the freshly cooked dishes. Lin Yunchu lowered his head and concentrated on the work in his hands.

"Grandma, I passed the exam."

As soon as Lu Yanzhou entered the house, he knelt down in front of Old Lady Lu. Old Lady Lu wiped her tears and raised her hand to help him up.

"well."

"I have finally done my best to satisfy your parents. They won't blame me when they see me in the future."

Only the two of them, the grandfather and the grandson, knew how difficult the Lu family's life had been in recent years. If it weren't for the help of the Lin family, their life would have been even more difficult.

Lu Yanzhou lowered his head, his eyes were already red. No one knew better than him how hard this journey had been.

However, since the Lin family's life improved last year, they have taken better care of the two of them, often helping them openly or secretly, so their life is not so difficult.

"Okay, Auntie, today is a happy day. Let's not talk about this anymore. We should celebrate it properly."

Father Lin rubbed his hands and grinned happily. It was a great joy that Lu Yanzhou passed the imperial examination, even if he did not continue to take part in the imperial examinations in the future.

If you open your own school and teach a few students, you can live a good life.

Although Lin's father had never been to school, he knew that passing the imperial examination was a great joy.

Old Mrs. Lu wiped her tears and nodded continuously with red eyes.

Seeing that the adults' conversation was almost over, Lin Changan, who had been standing by, jumped up with joy and ran to Lu Yanzhou. He raised his head and grinned, saying:

"Brother Yanzhou, you are so awesome."

Lin Changan, who had been in school for quite some time, now admired Lu Yanzhou even more.

After hearing Lin Changan's words, Lu Yanzhou squatted down, a smile appeared on his face, he raised his hand and touched Lin Changan's little head, and said softly:

"Chang'an is also very capable. I heard from your elder brother and elder sister that Master Li often praises you."

Whenever Lu Yanzhou came back, he would give Lin Changan some guidance on his homework. Every time Lin Changting or Lin Yunchu sent him something, they would also ask about Lin Changan's homework.

Hearing Lu Yanzhou's praise, Lin Changan curled the corners of his mouth and smiled even more happily.

In the future, he also wants to learn from his brother Yanzhou and pass the imperial examination.

"Yanzhou, then you can rest more at home in the next few days."

Father Lin didn't quite understand the matter of studying, so he chatted with Lu Yanzhou about family matters during the meal.

After hearing what Lin's father said, everyone looked at Lu Yanzhou, waiting for his reply. Lu Yanzhou spent most of his time in the academy so that he could concentrate on his exams.

He has worked so hard for so long, I hope he can have a good rest.

"Ah."

Lu Yanzhou nodded, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. When he was at the Lin family, his face was no longer indifferent and aloof, but had an approachable smile.

"Then I just need to prepare well for next year's imperial examination. Besides, the autumn harvest is coming soon, so I should take care of things at home first."

Upon hearing what Lu Yanzhou said, Lin's father immediately became anxious. Scholars at that time were very valuable, and they had to prepare for the next year's imperial examination. How could they be distracted?

Besides, Lu Yanzhou was just a scholar, so how could he handle the farm work? He quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about the farm work. We have more people and we can harvest the crops from the Lu family's fields together."

The Lin family has quite a lot of land now, so they will definitely need to hire people to help with the autumn harvest. Then they can just work together to harvest the Lu family's land, which won't be a big deal.

Lu Yanzhou still had to review his studies, so Father Lin didn't care and took on the task of Lu family's autumn harvest. The others at the table also nodded.

In previous years, these families helped each other with the autumn harvest, so adding one more family was not a big problem.
