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

time flies.

The annual Spring Festival is here again.

On the 30th day of the first lunar month, the table was filled with a sumptuous dinner and the whole family sat together.

Xie Zhongji suddenly sighed: "Ah, my elder brother is not here this year, and I always feel like something is missing."

Xie Shuze echoed: "Yeah~ I don't know if big brother is doing well in the capital."

Xie Jijun was worried: "I heard that prices in the capital are extremely high. I don't know if my elder brother has the money to prepare a decent New Year's Eve dinner for me."

Xie Lingai frowned, "Brother, I feel so sorry for you spending the New Year alone."

Xie Lingfen deeply agreed.

Xie Linghe: “…”

A person?

Not eating well?

Ha ha.

She connected to the secondary system and watched Xie Boyuan roasting silver bone charcoal, eating delicacies from land and sea, drinking aged wine in the Wen family mansion, and enjoying the considerate service of the maids. She smiled silently.

It makes my eyes sore.

After shutting down the system, she looked at the few people who were still worried about her brother, turned her depression into appetite, and ate in big mouthfuls.

Xie Jijun suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Xie Linghe: "Oh, big sister, where is Anfu?"

Anfu?

Li Lingze.

Xie Linghe was stunned for a moment.

Xie Zhongji suddenly realized: "Yes, why didn't you invite him to your home for the New Year this year?"

Xie Shuze nodded: "Yes, I invited them last year."

As he spoke, his eyes lit up and he winked: "Could it be that you two broke up?"

Xie Linghe: “…”

I remember someone said he would write me a letter, but I haven't received a single letter yet.

She felt annoyed and said unhappily, "What's your business?!"

"Eat your food."

Hear the words.

Xie Zhongji and the other two looked at each other, admitted defeat, and dared not ask any more questions about this topic.

Xie Lingfen and Xie Lingai felt guilty because Xie Anfu thought of the secret that their eldest sister asked them to keep. They looked at each other tacitly and pretended to be dead.

Ever since I knew my eldest sister's secret.

While Xie Zhongji and the other two went to school, Xie Linghe often took them out to play, and generously bought them new clothes and jewelry, and ate all kinds of delicious food. Their life was so wonderful.

There was silence for a while.

Xie Linghe comforted himself: It was a great day, and the atmosphere was not ruined by some heartless person.

snort!

She doesn't care at all!!!

Thinking of this, she took the initiative to bring up the topic: "We watched the Lantern Festival in town last year. How about going to the county this year?"

Xie Lingai was the first to respond: "Okay, okay~"

Xie Zhongji and others also agreed readily.

……

The New Year is over.

By the end of February, the temperature in Xinghua Village in the south had warmed up, and everyone took off their thick cotton-padded jackets and put on thin ones.

Simultaneously.

More and more people visit the village every day.

but.

In the distant capital, there was still heavy snow, as if it were a world of ice and snow, and there were few people on the streets.

But the situation in front of the Imperial Examination Hall was completely different.

The place was full of people.

Because today is the day for the imperial examination.

now.

The Imperial Examination Hall had not yet opened, and the people waiting outside were shivering in the cold wind, but no one left.

Most were standing outside.

There were also many carriages parked on the road behind.

Xie Boyuan was in one of the carriages, thanks to his stay at the Wen Mansion.

Silver bone charcoal was burning inside the train, and it was so warm that it felt like two different worlds compared to the outside world.

He and Wenliang were sitting in the carriage.

The eldest grandson of Master Wen and the second grandson of Master Wen Yu also took the exam together, but they did not take this carriage. Instead, they sat in a separate car.

at this time.

Wenliang closed his eyes to rest. He did not disturb him and silently relieved his tense mood.

Even the provincial examination was not this stressful.

There's no way to compare. The imperial examination is a competition among talented people from all over the country. There are always people better than you, and Xie Boyuan is not clear about the gap between himself and those people.

Time passed quietly.

I don’t know how long it took.

"Bang bang bang~"

The gong sounded and the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall opened.

The crowd became noisy.

"It's open!"

"Get ready and enter."

"Dad, check again to see if you've missed anything."

"Grandson, do your best on the test."

"..."

Xie Boyuan's heart trembled: "It's time to enter."

After looking at Wenliang who had his eyes closed, he hesitated for a moment and didn't call him, and prepared to get up.

Wenliang opened his eyes, his gaze clear: "Try hard on the exam."

Xie Boyuan's face warmed up and he nodded heavily: "I understand, teacher."

"Well, let's go."

Xie Linghe also sent him into the examination room in his own way.

The metropolitan examination and the provincial examination both last for nine days, but one must stay in the Imperial Examination Hall for all nine days during the provincial examination.

The imperial examination lasted for three days. After taking one exam, candidates were allowed to rest for one night and then take the second exam the next day.

After all, there are many royal relatives and high-ranking officials at the feet of the emperor. They have been spoiled since childhood and have noble status. If something happens, it will be difficult for the court to explain.

No matter what era, there is always a privileged class.

People are different. Some people's lives are worthless, while some people's lives are worth a fortune.

Waited for a while.

The imperial examination officially began.

When the questions were handed down, she looked through them as usual, had some ideas, and then disconnected directly.

……

March twenty-third.

One ordinary night, Xie Linghe dozed off over the novel in his hand when the system suddenly announced, "Host has achieved the Imperial Examination and will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver."

"The banknote has been issued, please check it."

Xie Linghe's eyes widened suddenly: "???!!!"

Ten thousand taels...

Xie Boyuan got first place again!!!
