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

Another year of provincial examination.

Xie Zhongji, Xie Shuze and Xie Jijun were all going to take part in the provincial examination, which was to be held in Nanjing Prefecture. Xie Linghe and Xie Lingai were also going to go together.

Xie Zhongji: "Sister, we can do it on our own."

Xie Shuze: "Yes, sister, we have all studied abroad on our own, so there is no problem taking the exam."

Xie Jijun: "You and my younger sister should wait for our good news at home."

Xie Linghe laughed and scolded, "You don't know how to appreciate your blessings. Your little sister is worried about you. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to go through all this trouble with you."

Xie Lingai said earnestly, "Second brother, third brother, and youngest brother, I heard that the provincial examination will be held on the 9th. Many people will need to see a doctor if they come out. My eldest sister and I will be with you. If anything happens, we can take care of you."

Hear the words.

The eyes of Xie Zhongji and the other two softened as they looked at her.

Xie Linghe also patted her head lovingly: "Good girl."

Xie Lingai's cheeks flushed slightly, and she felt a little shy: "Sister, please don't touch my head. I'm grown up now."

"How big is it?" Xie Linghe rubbed her harder: "No matter how big she is, she is still my sister."

but.

Speaking of age, she calculated in her mind that Xie Lingai would be sixteen years old this year, and it had been two years since she reached the age of coming of age. According to other families, she was also old enough to get married.

but.

Xie Linghe selfishly planned to stay for a few more years.

First, in her mind, one becomes an adult at the age of eighteen. Second, there will be changes in the future. If she doesn't completely solve the problem of Xie Lingdi, she will not feel at ease letting her younger sister get married. She is worried that she will encounter danger where she can't see her.

She never told these thoughts to anyone else.

Fortunately.

She is the eldest in the family, and no one dares to urge her unless she mentions it.

My second uncle's family has a close relationship with them.

However, as Xie Linghe's literacy classes became better and better and his business grew bigger and bigger, they no longer dared to control Xie Linghe.

Worth to talk about.

The second uncle sent Xie Dashui and Xie Dafang to a private school. Xie Dafang passed the examination for a student, but Xie Dashui only passed the county examination. He failed the examination twice in a row in the past two years. He took the initiative to find Xie Linghe and wanted to be a teacher in the literacy class. Xie Linghe tested him and accepted him as his assistant.

Leave this time.

He is temporarily in charge of the literacy class.

……

Negotiable.

A few days later, the family set off.

The villagers sighed repeatedly.

"Xie Laosan's whole family is out!"

"Where are they going?"

"You forgot, the provincial examination, held every three years, has begun. The three Xie Zhongji brothers must have gone to take the exam."

"Oh, the provincial examination has begun?"

"It's been three years so fast?"

"Isn't this going to produce another top scholar?"

"Do you really think it's so easy to get the top spot?"

"I don't know if Xie Zhongji and the other two can pass the exam."

"I think it's hanging~"

"In Chunde County, we only have one or two juren every few years. How can it be so easy to pass the exam?"

"Yes, a Juren is not the same as a Xiucai."

"Yes, if a juren is unwilling to take the higher examinations, it is easy for him to become a teacher in a government school or a county magistrate."

"It would be amazing if all three of them passed the exam."

"If they pass the exam, there will be four successful candidates in their family. In ten or twenty years, they will become a large family."

"How dare you think about it."

"What's the difference now? Even if Xie Zhongji and the other two didn't pass the exam, with Xie Boyuan as the top scholar, the Xie family will still be a powerful family in a few decades."

"That's true."

"In recent years, marriages among the Xie clan have been very popular."

"Don't other families in the village also want to marry into the Xie family?"

"Of course, good things should be kept within the family."

"..."

this time.

There are almost no people who say sour words.

First, everyone has accepted the excellence of the four Xie brothers over the years; second, the popularity of the literacy class has boosted the village economy. Now many students are from outside, and the villagers can sell some food at home to cover their expenses for a year; third, the Xie family has become visibly richer, and they feel awe in their hearts.

Xie Linghe and others did not hear these discussions.

I don't care even if I hear it.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

Ever since the Xie family rose to power, these whispers have been surrounding them. If they cared about them, they would have been unable to live long ago.

……

Beijing.

Xie Boyuan had a day off today and got up a little later than usual. He was now having dinner with Liu Rushuang.

Two years have passed.

Xie Boyuan is already twenty-one years old. Compared with two years ago, he now looks more mature, with sharp features and handsome appearance, which has attracted the hearts of many young girls.

He doesn't know anything about it.

Liu Rushuang's temperament has also become much more stable, with her hair tied up, looking very gentle.

After finishing his meal, Xie Boyuan wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said casually, "Qingnu, the autumn breeze is refreshing. How about I accompany you to see the red maple leaves outside the city today?"

Qingnv is a goddess said to be in charge of frost and snow. It is used to refer to frost and snow. The "Huainanzi Tianwenxun" records: "In the third month of autumn...Qingnv appears, and frost and snow have already fallen."

Xie Boyuan gave her the name "Qingnv".

For women, calligraphy is usually given by elders and husbands.

Liu Sanwan and his wife were not well-educated, so naturally they did not think of giving their daughter a name. After the marriage, Xie Boyuan and Mr. Guan Shiwen gave their daughter the name "Shiyuan". He remembered that Liu Rushuang had no name, so he gave her one.

Closer to home.

Liu Rushuang was absent-minded.

Xie Boyuan didn't get a response and was a little puzzled: "Qingnu, Madam?"

"Husband."

Liu Rushuang came back to her senses and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was distracted just now and didn't mention what you said."

"what happened?"

Xie Boyuan looked at her seriously and said, "You've looked so worried these past few days. What happened at home?"

Liu Rushuang's expression changed slightly, and she quickly forced a smile: "No, everything is fine at home."

Xie Boyuan looked unconvinced.

Liu Rushuang let out a sigh. "I received a letter from my mother saying that my father has been ill for several times recently and hasn't recovered. I'm worried, but I can't go see him... So, I want to go to the temple to light a perpetual lamp and add some incense money."

"Is my father-in-law sick?"

Xie Boyuan's face turned serious. "Why didn't you tell me this? I should have written to you earlier."

Liu Rushuang: "My husband has been busy with official duties recently, and I don't want to worry you."

Xie Boyuan disagreed: "Why worry about this?"

"Let's go, today we will go to the temple to burn incense and pray for our father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"It just so happens that the second brother and his friends are going to take part in the provincial examination. Let's pray to the Buddha to bless them with good luck."

Liu Rushuang nodded, secretly stroked her lower abdomen, her eyes full of anxiety.

It's been two years, why is there still no movement in my stomach?

In the past two years after their marriage, although there was no tenderness or sweetness between the two, their life was plain and warm. Xie Boyuan kept himself clean and stayed with her alone. Liu Rushuang was content and just hoped that life would go on like this.

However, two years passed and there was still no movement in her belly. There are three unfilial acts: not having a son and the worst one. After the provincial examination, her eldest sister came to Beijing and asked what to do?
