After becoming the villain's eldest sister, I take charge of the whole family

Unfortunately, one of the people traveling with Xie Boyuan failed the exam, which dampened the joyful atmosphere.

What’s more, there are too many people looking for a son-in-law based on the list.

The next day.

Several people left quietly in tacit understanding.

……

Three days later.

In Xinghua Village, a group of detectives entered the village with drums and gongs.

Everyone in the village came out to watch and talk about it.

"What's happening here?"

"Whose family is having a wedding?"

"I haven't heard of it."

"Let's go and follow them to see where they go."

"Row."

"..."

the other side.

Xie Linghe was helping his niece take a bath with his second and youngest sisters.

Sudden.

The sound of gongs and drums rang in my ears.

Getting closer.

Xie Lingai wondered, "Sister, why do I feel like the sound of the gong is getting louder and louder, as if it's right at our doorstep?"

Xie Lingfen also felt this way.

Xie Linghe was stunned, and suddenly an idea popped into his mind: after passing the provincial examination, the county would send someone to congratulate his home. Generally, after the results were announced, the county magistrate would be notified as soon as possible, and then the county magistrate would arrange to go to his home to announce the good news.

"Is it possible..."

At this time.

A deep and friendly male voice sounded from outside: "Excuse me, is this the home of Mr. Xie Boyuan, Mr. Xie?"

Hear the words.

Xie Lingfen was completely stunned.

Xie Lingai's eyes widened as she looked at Xie Linghe in disbelief: "Sister, did that person outside mention Big Brother's name?"

"Juren? Did you pass the provincial examination?"

Sure enough.

Xie Linghe had anticipated this, so he remained calm. Upon hearing Xie Lingai's words, he smiled and nodded, "That's right."

And it’s still number one.

She didn't say much about this and stood up directly: "I'll go out first, you guys hurry up and wash Nini, don't let her catch a cold."

Done.

He strode into the bedroom and took out a silver ingot weighing five taels.

Outside.

The villagers were shocked.

"A candidate?"

"Did I hear correctly?"

"That's right, I heard it too."

"Oh my goodness, Xie Boyuan has become a juren. Even if Xie Boyuan never takes the imperial examination again, the Xie Sanhe family will be prosperous."

"Isn't it? I've heard of poor scholars, but I've never heard of poor juren."

"I heard that even successful candidates can become officials."

"That's right. The magistrate of Wuhua County next door is a Juren."

"Then Xie Boyuan can become an official, right?"

"Nothing wrong."

"Hiss~ Is our Xinghua Village going to have a new official?"

"Xie Sanhe is so lucky to have given birth to a Wenquxing (literary star), but why can't he be from my family?"

"Yeah~"

"God is really partial. Not only did he give birth to Xie Boyuan, but he also made Xie Zhongji, Xie Shuze, and Xie Jijun born in other families~"

"..."

Returning to Xie Linghe's place, she took the money and opened the gate. She looked at the burly constables wearing a large red flower and gave a warm yet embarrassed smile, "Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Hear the words.

The leading constable waved his hand good-naturedly: "You're welcome. We didn't wait long."

"Excuse me, who are you?"

Xie Linghe replied: "Xie Boyuan is my younger brother, and I am the eldest in the family."

"Xie Da-Miss, your brother passed the provincial examination and even came in first, becoming the top scholar in Nanzhili this year."

"congratulations."

Xie Linghe knew about it a long time ago.

but.

Hearing this, he still smiled in surprise and joy: "Really? That's great!"

"Thank you all for the news, I have some silver here for you to have a cup of tea."

Hear this.

Smiles appeared on the faces of several detectives.

I originally thought that Xie Boyuan was born in a poor farming family and would not get any reward, but I didn’t expect that he actually got one, and the amount was not small.

If they each got one cent, each person could get more than one or two taels of silver, which was equivalent to half a month's salary for them.

It was the leading constable who spoke up: "Thank you very much, young lady."

Xie Linghe waved his hands quickly.

"..."

After a few more pleasantries, the constable began to say goodbye. Xie Linghe tried to persuade them to stay, and finally watched them leave.

As soon as the person leaves.

The village was in an uproar.

"He Jie'er, Brother Yuan got first place in the exam, did I hear it right?"

"Nanzhili has so many talented scholars, and so many children of high-ranking officials, but none of them performed as well as Boyuan in the exam? Tsk tsk tsk, Boyuan is truly a literary star descended from the sky. Our Xinghua Village has great feng shui too."

"I've always thought Bo Yuan was a smart kid since he was little!"

"Sister and I are from the same village. Don't forget us when you become rich."

"..."

Xie Linghe patiently answered one by one: "It's the first place."

"My dear uncles, you are joking. Even if Bo Yuan went to the capital, this place is still his roots."

"..."

After finally dealing with the villagers, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned around and went back to the house. Xie Lingai and Xie Lingfen looked at her excitedly.

"Sister, brother got first place in the exam, that's amazing!"

"I wouldn't even dream of that. I just thought passing the imperial examination would be a blessing for my ancestors."

"Sister, when brother comes back, let's go visit our parents' graves. If they knew that brother passed the imperial examination, they would be very happy."

Xie Linghe naturally did not refuse: "Okay."

She didn't like Xie Sanhe and his wife, but since they were dead, she could do something to save her face.

"..."

Xinghua Village was a hot topic all day long.

At the same time, many families in Chunde County knew about Xie Boyuan, the newly-appointed juren.

The Liu family is naturally one of them.

In this regard.

Liu Sanwan and his wife were both happy and worried: they were happy that their daughter had become the fiancée of a juren, so she wouldn't have to worry about marrying down and suffering in the future; they were worried that their family was just a small landlord, and their status had completely reversed from that of the Xie family. They were afraid that their daughter would suffer if she married into the family, and they couldn't help her.

bedroom.

Liu Sanwan sat on the recliner, looking very proud: "My father is really good at seeing things. He arranged a good marriage for Shuang'er early on. Maybe she can become an official's wife in the future."

Zhou Shuyun was already annoyed, and her brows furrowed even tighter when she heard this: "It's good, but it's too good."

"Officials look down on merchants the most. Now Xie Boyuan has won the first place in the Southern Zhili Provincial Examination. We all know his status. I don't know how many people have set their sights on him. If Shuang'er had already married him, it would be fine. But now they are neither here nor there. If they regret the engagement, I'm afraid we won't be able to do anything about it."

"The key is, our daughter's heart is with Xie Boyuan. If anything goes wrong, I'm worried that she won't be able to live with it~"

Hearing this, Liu Sanwan sat up with a look of surprise and doubt: "My wife, you are probably overthinking it. Bo Yuan is not a person who despises the poor and loves the rich."

Zhou Shuyun sighed: "I hope I'm overthinking it."

Liu Sanwan was also feeling a bit anxious. After thinking for a while, he said, "My dear, Boyuan has won the first place in the imperial examination. His family will definitely hold a banquet. We will take Shuang'er with us that day. You can try to find out what the eldest sister of the Xie family has to say. Boyuan listens to his eldest sister very much."
