The journey of the only child of a peasant family to take the imperial examination

Smart people know that you may not approve of a person's character, but you cannot disapprove of their vision.

Zhang Ping'an wholeheartedly agreed with this statement.

Having spent so many years in officialdom, Zhang Ping'an absolutely recognized Qian Taishi's keen intuition.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it."

Clarifying this matter will not harm either party.

Qian Ying mainly wanted to use the good news about the Crown Prince's arrival as an excuse to mention this, and she didn't know if there was any connection between the two events.

After receiving Zhang Ping'an's affirmative reply, he didn't say anything more.

The Qian residence was closer to the palace, and after a short while, the two parted ways upon arriving at the Qian residence's gate.

Upon returning home, Madam Xu was agonizing over what she should wear for Zhuzhu's wedding the day after tomorrow.

Zhang Lao Er looked like he'd been through a lot. When he saw Zhang Ping'an return, he quickly stood up and said, trying to avoid him, "Let your son help you choose. You have to trust his judgment, right?!"

Xu knew perfectly well that Zhang Lao Er was just making excuses for her, and she was displeased. "What? I've been with you for almost forty years, and you're unwilling to help me choose a couple of clothes? You're really something! Let me tell you, just because I gave birth to such a successful son for your Zhang family, I can rightfully choose my place in your Zhang family's ancestral grave!"

"Alright, alright, you deserve the most credit, okay?" Zhang Lao Er didn't want to argue, so he waved his hand and went to the courtyard to tend to his flowers and plants.

"Mother, I've come to see you," Zhang Ping'an said with a smile as he walked over.

He didn't think it was a big deal. After all, his mother was going to be in a high position, and she was a titled lady. It wouldn't look right if she didn't dress appropriately.

He has a good eye for aesthetics; after comparing the two, he quickly chose the one that looked better to him.

"Let's go with this one. This royal blue one looks beautiful and makes you look elegant."

With her son's help in making a decision, Madam Xu stopped hesitating and nodded emphatically as if she had made up her mind, "Okay, I'll listen to my son, let's go with this royal blue one!"

At this moment, Xiaoyuer also finished his homework and came out of the study. Seeing that Madam Xu had chosen her clothes, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, I've chosen them!"

You can tell at a glance what happened before.

“You two, grandmother and grandson, are just alike. The son is definitely more considerate,” Xu said irritably.

Xiaoyuer and Zhang Pingan exchanged a glance upon hearing this.

Zhang Ping'an shrugged and gave him a look that said, "You got yourself into this mess, so you'll have to deal with it yourself."

Little Fish then used his charm again, and soon he had Xu Shi smiling from ear to ear.

Time flies, and soon it was time for Piggy's wedding.

The whole family got up early, changed into brand-new clothes, dressed up in a grand manner, and went out to the Liu family.

Although Liu Sanlang was not present, the wedding was still a grand affair thanks to the efforts of Zhang Ping'an and Daya.

Even though Zhang Ping'an and Liu Sanlang are both rising higher and higher in their official positions, especially Zhang Ping'an who has just been promoted and has a bright future, many people will send a generous gift even if they don't come in person.

It was even more glamorous than Da Ya'er had imagined.

Donkey Egg was so busy he was jumping up and down.

Zhang Ping'an was equally enthusiastic, acting as the brother-in-law Liu Sanlang to help greet the guests.

At this point, the house seemed too small and insufficient.

There were so many guests that there wasn't enough room to sit in the courtyard.

Most people went up to offer their congratulations and then, led by servants, sat down at the table by the door to wait for the wedding banquet to begin.

Qian Ying, representing the eldest branch of the Qian family, saw the dowry displayed in the main room and courtyard and said with a smile, "Your eldest sister is very sensible; this dowry is quite generous!"

“My eldest sister only has Zhuzhu as her daughter, so naturally she values ​​her more.”

After Zhang Ping'an finished speaking, he exchanged a few more pleasantries and then smiled apologetically: "We're all family here, so I won't stand on ceremony with you. The courtyard is too small, noisy, and crowded. Why don't you go sit at the table with the servants first? We can talk later."

"Alright, with your brother-in-law not here, your uncle will have to work a bit harder today!" Qian Ying teased.
