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

except this.

What Liu Rushuang is most worried about is: What if her elder sister asks her to take a concubine?

She didn't want to share her husband with other women.

but.

She knew that her husband listened to her eldest sister very much, and if her eldest sister suggested that he take a concubine, he would most likely agree.

In this regard.

Xie Linghe knew nothing.

Let Xie Boyuan take a concubine?

This is really a great injustice to her.

but.

Even if Xie Linghe knew Liu Rushuang's worries, he would not be angry with her.

Love brings fear, love brings sorrow.

Liu Rushuang cares too much about Xie Boyuan, which is why she is so worried about gains and losses.

Everything will depend on the future.

……

Back to Xie Linghe and the others, they finally arrived in Nanjing Prefecture after a seven-day carriage ride.

This time, there was no inn.

After two years of expansion, Xie Linghe also had a house in Nanjing Prefecture with five courtyards, three of which were used for literacy classes, and the remaining two were uninhabited. When they came this time, they had already notified people to clean up in advance and moved in directly.

It was afternoon when we arrived.

Xie Linghe and Xie Lingai were both tired, so they did not go out. They washed up, ate something, and went to bed early.

The next day.

Both of them were in high spirits.

Xie Zhongji and the other two were also in good spirits. They got up an hour before Xie Linghe and her sisters got up to do their morning reading.

Xie Linghe and the other two didn't disturb them and quietly left the room.

Nanjing Prefecture was the capital of Nanzhili, so Xie Linghe naturally attached great importance to it. Therefore, when the first-grade grain was expanding, he made a special trip here.

Therefore, she was quite familiar with this place and was very happy to take Xie Lingai out for a stroll every day.

Shake.

The day of the provincial examination arrived.

Xie Linghe and Xie Lingai personally sent them to the Imperial Examination Hall. After returning, they never went out again and burned incense and prayed every day.

Nine days later.

The two men brought a doctor hired at a high price and went to the Imperial Examination Hall to pick up the person, accompanied by three servants.

These three servants are all members of the Xie family, and are about fifteen or sixteen years old.

Xie Zhongji's servant was named Xie He; Xie Shuze's servant was named Xie Wen; and Xie Jijun's servant was named Xie Wu.

Xie He is the grandson of the Xie clan leader.

The Xie family has risen, so he naturally wants to have a closer relationship with them. Xie Boyuan never missed the opportunity before, so he will certainly not miss it this time.

Xie Wen and Xie Wu are brothers.

These two people were chosen by Xie Shuze and Xie Jijun themselves. At that time, the clan leader Xie asked all the children who were willing to come together and let the two brothers Xie Shuze choose for themselves.

As expected of twins, they also chose a pair of twin brothers.

Due to Xie Boyuan's strong rise, their branch has become the backbone. If the third generation remains wealthy, they will surely develop into the direct line of the Xie family.

Xie Linghe doesn't care whether the family is of legitimate lineage or not. She just believes that everyone prospers together and suffers together. For the sake of her family's safety, she hopes that their family's status will be as high as possible, and she will try her best to restrain the Xie family members from using their name to deceive the world and steal their reputation.

Youshi (six o'clock in the afternoon).

The Imperial Examination Hall opened on time and candidates flocked out.

The crowd immediately became lively, some were happy and some were unhappy.

Happy with:

A conversation between two brothers:

"Brother, how did you do on the exam?"

“Are you sure?!”

"This is really great!"

A middle-aged man said confidently: "I have a feeling I will pass the exam this time."

A white-haired old man laughed heartily, looking up to the sky: "I have done many of the same questions on this exam before. God bless me, I will definitely pass the exam this time."

Unhappiness includes:

The father scolded his son: "What? The wind stained the test paper, you idiot, how could you be so careless?"

The mother cried and said to her son, "You didn't bring any oil paper, and the dew ruined your paper? Oh, forget it, son. You've already failed the exam three times, so just accept your fate."

The young man looked at his father in horror, who rolled his eyes and fell backwards as soon as he received the call: "Dad, are you okay? Don't scare me, move aside, my dad has fainted."

"..."

All kinds of human life: joy, anger, sorrow and happiness are included.

……

The crowd was noisy and chaotic.

Xie Linghe and the others were anxiously searching for Xie Zhongji and the other two. Xie Lingai, with her sharp eyes, was the first to notice: "I saw them. Second brother and the others are together. Where are they?"

Xie Linghe looked over immediately: "Where?"

Saw people soon.

"Second!"

"Brother, we are here~"

Xie Zhongji and the other two also noticed them and squeezed over, so they quickly squeezed in.

Difficult convergence.

Xie Zhongji and his servants supported them.

Xie Linghe looked him up and down carefully. Although his clothes were a little disheveled and his face looked tired, he was still in good spirits, so he felt relieved.

Looking at the crowded crowd, she said, "Get on the bus first."

Everyone responded: "Okay."

back home.

I asked the doctor to take my pulse, and he said that my heart was just a little exhausted and there was nothing serious. He prescribed some tonic and I left.

Xie Linghe packed some silver and personally escorted him out the door.

Xie Zhongji and the other two first washed up, had their meal, and then went back to their rooms to catch up on some sleep.

Xie Linghe didn't interrupt.

……

Seven days have passed since the provincial examination.

At night, Xie Linghe turned off the lights and prepared to go to sleep. At this moment, the system's long-lost voice sounded: "Congratulations to the host for achieving the provincial examination achievement x3. The reward is three thousand taels of silver."

Xie Linghe's eyes widened immediately.

All passed the exam!

Okay~

The next moment, she shook her head: "It's a pity that I didn't get the first place."

Done.

He even laughed at himself: "It's great to pass the exam. It's not easy to get the top scorer. Having Xie Boyuan is already amazing. If we can have another top scorer, how much God will favor our family~"

The results of the provincial examination were announced.

Xie Linghe had booked a private room on the second floor of a restaurant opposite the Imperial Examination Hall in advance.

The family sat inside.

The entrance to the Imperial Examination Hall was already packed with people, the noise was deafening, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Xie Zhongji and the other two all looked nervous.

Among them, Xie Shuze was the most nervous.

This is a rare thing.

Why is this so?

It turned out that after taking the provincial examination and resting for two days to recover their spirits, they went to see Mr. Wang from the private school together and wrote down their answers for him to see. Mr. Wang thought that Xie Shuze had a good chance of passing the exam, but he did not say for sure.

Recently.

He didn't sleep well.

At the beginning, he did not take the imperial examination seriously and thought it was dispensable.

But after studying for so many years, he still wants a good result.

More importantly, Mr. Wang thought that his second brother and fourth brother had a great chance of passing, and it would be too embarrassing for him to be the only one who failed!

Xie Lingai also looked nervous.

Xie Linghe pretended to be nervous, but in fact he was observing the scene below calmly.

No matter whether it is the county examination, prefectural examination, academy examination or provincial examination, you can always see white-haired old people and young boys waiting for the results together.

Xie Lingai waited anxiously, unable to help but ask, "Isn't the time coming yet? I can't wait to know the result."

Xie Linghe: "Soon."

The voice just fell.

The gate of the Imperial Examination Hall opened from the inside out.
