Xie Linghe did not put on airs and nodded to everyone with a smile along the way.

Go in.

Xie Zhongji faced the official with a stiff expression. Seeing her was like seeing a life-saving straw. He shouted: "Sister, my brother is the first in the court case. The county has come to report the good news."

Several officers looked over.

Xie Linghe noticed their low spirits and understood the situation. He gritted his teeth, took out five taels of silver, and handed it to the leading official: "Sir, thank you for your hard work. Use this silver to buy some wine to quench your thirst."

opposite.

Lin San's eyes lit up immediately. He took it and said to Xie Linghe with a bit more enthusiasm, "Thank you for the reward, young lady. Mr. Xie is only seventeen years old, and he has already won the first place in the middle school examination. He will definitely be on the list of top scorers in the future."

Xie Linghe bowed and said, "I present your auspicious words."

"..."

After a brief exchange of greetings, the person was politely sent away, and only then did the people watching the fun outside dare to speak.

"He Jie'er, what did the envoy send? Let me see it quickly."

"I want to see it too..."

"..."

Xie Linghe took a look at it and saw something like a certificate, which stated the year, month and day when Xie Boyuan passed the examination for the title of scholar, his ranking, etc.

She didn't care much.

Xie Zhongji and the others were very protective: "No, you can't touch it."

"Don't break it."

“This is a family heirloom.”

"..."

"Just let me touch it."

"Let me share in your good fortune, I promise I won't spoil anything..."

in the crowd.

Xie Dahe's family was also among them, but they did not get involved and were out of tune with everyone around them.

Xie Dahe was so jealous that his whole body was twisted.

Son, son, son... If I had a son, I would be the one enjoying such a glorious life today.

Why does everyone have a son but I don’t?!

Why is Xie Boyuan not my son?

Third brother, why are you so lucky?

Zhang Daya looked at her man in fear and didn't dare to say a word.

Xie Lingyu looked jealous.

Xie Boyuan actually passed the exam and became a scholar. Isn’t Xie Lingfen so lucky?

Will Shaozu regret it?

She looked at Sun Shaozu and saw the undisguised regret in his eyes.

Suddenly.

Xie Lingyu felt disappointed.

Then, he comforted himself: Fortunately, they have divorced. As long as I have Shaozu's son, I have nothing to fear.

Sun Shaozu regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

If he had known Xie Boyuan was so capable, he would never have agreed to a divorce...

Darkness surged in Xie Lingdi's eyes.

It actually passed?

And I got first place in the exam!!!

Even if I were to live my life again, would I still be unable to stop the rise of Xie Lingai's family?

Do not!

Absolutely not!

……

Xie Linghe dealt with a few words from the villagers, then turned and went back into the house, revealing a pained expression on his face.

My money!

Five taels!!!

No.

The wool comes from the sheep. These five taels of silver should be counted on Xie Boyuan. I ask him to pay me back tenfold, a hundredfold, or even a thousandfold.

at the same time.

On the boat, Xie Boyuan felt a chill on his back.

……

Here.

The news of Xie Boyuan passing the imperial examination was a hot topic for the whole morning, but gradually died down in the afternoon.

noon.

Xie Linghe invited his second uncle and his family to dinner.

Xie Erhe brought some wine with him and happily got himself drunk, muttering to himself, "Dad, we have a scholar in our family. Didn't you expect that?"

"Third brother, you are right. Bo Yuan is a good student. You can rest in peace down there. Woo woo woo..."

Cry and laugh.

When Xie Zhongji and the others heard the word "father", they all fell silent.

Xie Linghe had no feelings for his original parents and seemed exceptionally calm.

Sudden.

Xie Erhe looked at her and spoke clearly: "He Jie'er, tomorrow morning, our two families will go to the grave together."

Xie Linghe was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

……

A few days later.

Outside Xinghua Village, a dusty but extraordinarily handsome young man appeared.

It was Xie Boyuan.

He looked at the familiar village with a look of emotion on his face: "Finally I'm home. I wonder if my family has received the news..."

Once inside.

It immediately caused a sensation.

"The scholar is back."

"The scholar is here."

"Brother Yuan, I knew you could do it. You've been smart since you were a kid..."

"Brother Yuan, you are the God of Literature who has descended to earth."

"..."

Xie Boyuan was caught off guard and was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm.

The news soon reached Xie Linghe.

Xie Zhongji and the others cheered and started to run out. Xie Linghe hurriedly followed behind. Seeing Xie Lingfen didn't move, he asked in surprise, "Second sister, aren't you going?"

Xie Lingfen looked eager, but quickly shook her head: "I, I'm a widow, so forget it."

Xie Linghe frowned slightly.

After a moment's thought, I realized that she felt unlucky because she was divorced.

Sighing helplessly in her heart, she grabbed her hand and said, "The whole family is together, let's go!"

Xie Lingfen was surprised, but in the end, she did not refuse.

On the road.

Xie Linghe thought of Xie Lingfen's inferiority complex and thought that he had to make her feel more relieved.

At the very least, let the gossips in the village quiet down.

These days.

Because Xie Boyuan passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, his family became very famous in the village, and Xie Lingfen's situation also improved a lot.

but.

There are still people who point fingers at her and look down on her because she is a widow.

Then...

She glanced at Nini in Xie Lingfen's arms, connected to the secondary system, and spoke to Xie Boyuan: "Host, as the head of the family, you should support your family. Please hold your niece in front of everyone to show your respect for Xie Lingfen and her daughter."

Xie Boyuan was talking to the patriarch of the Xie family when he suddenly heard the voice of the system. He was so scared that he almost jumped up. Fortunately, he had developed a conditioned reflex. Although he was mentally devastated, his face remained calm.

After digesting the system's words, he immediately agreed: "Okay."

But it’s no trouble to hold Nini for a while.

Besides, I haven’t seen the little girl for so long, and I really miss her.

opposite.

Chief Xie noticed Xie Boyuan's distraction, but he didn't mind. He said with a smile, "Brother Yuan, your passing the imperial examination is a great joy for our village. I've discussed with a few of the ancestors that we should pool our money to host a three-day and three-night banquet. What do you think?"

Xie Boyuan didn't care: "Okay..."

Just as she said a word, Xie Linghe interrupted her: "Patriarch, don't hold this buffet."

Hear the words.

Patriarch Xie immediately frowned: "He Jie'er, this is a man's matter, you shouldn't interrupt."

Xie Linghe did not argue with the clan leader.

She said nothing and stared at Xie Boyuan.

Do not know why.

Xie Boyuan felt uneasy and thought that if he dared to agree, he would not survive the night.

He blurted out: "Then don't do it."

Xie Linghe raised an eyebrow.

You're lucky you're sensible! Otherwise, you'd have to review your electric shock, acupuncture, and other treatments.

Hear this.

Patriarch Xie frowned, looked at Xie Linghe deeply, and compromised with Xie Boyuan: "Okay, if you say you won't do it, then don't do it."

"But, Brother Yuan, it's such a happy occasion that you passed the imperial examination. The clan is planning to hold a ceremony to worship the ancestors. Is this okay?"
