[Marriage first, love later] She is happy after marrying a widower

The red moon has been in its prime forty-eighth year. Today is the sixth day of September, and the results of the provincial examination are announced.

Lin'an City is extremely lively today, especially the city gate, which is already crowded with people. The reason is that the list of successful candidates will be released here today.

All families with candidates are here, waiting for the results to be announced.

A green horse-drawn carriage slowly drove into Lin'an City from the city gate.

The carriage stopped next to the crowd of onlookers, and a young servant in blue clothes jumped out of the carriage.

He was thin and struggled to squeeze through the crowd and headed towards the place where the results were announced.

"Why are you pushing so hard? The list hasn't even been posted yet."

Someone in the crowd muttered something, but even so, others took the opportunity to squeeze forward.

Soon, four officials came over here, and the onlookers made way for them to reach the bulletin board.

A yamen runner took out the scroll in his hand, opened it on the spot, and posted it on the bulletin board.

When the thin figure saw the first name on the list, his face suddenly showed joy.

"Yes, yes, Master, our young master has won."

He walked out from the crowd and walked towards the carriage happily.

"really?"

A charming voice sounded from the carriage.

"Really, Master, our young man won first place, a 15-year-old Jieyuan. Lin'an City has never produced such a young Jieyuan."

The servant's voice was full of pride.

"Let's go and pick up the second young master, the third young master, and the fourth young master and bring them home to celebrate for the eldest young master."

"Hey"

The servant jumped onto the carriage and patted the horse's back. The horse lifted its feet, and the carriage slowly passed through the street and stopped in front of a academy.

In the academy, today is a day off, and many students are walking out of the academy carrying packages.

The servant was standing by the roadside. When he saw three familiar figures, he waved his hand and ran towards them.

"Second Young Master, Third Young Master, Fourth Young Master, here..."

There were three young men, the oldest looked about thirteen or fourteen, and the youngest was only eleven or twelve. They were all wearing blue student uniforms, but they all looked quite handsome.

"Little Bean, why are you here to pick up the young master today?"

The eldest young master spoke up, saying that the little kid was his mother's bodyguard and would not leave her easily.

"Three young masters, our eldest young master has passed the imperial examination and even won first place. Madam is here to take the three young masters home personally."

The little kid pointed at a Qingwei carriage parked on the side of the road. Next to the carriage was a young woman with a slightly protruding belly, looking over here.

The three young men didn't even bother to talk to the servant and ran towards the young woman.

"Mom, why are you here? You're not feeling well right now."

The oldest boy supported the woman, looking very cautious. The other two boys followed beside her with the same expression.

"It's okay, mother is in good health. But I heard that your eldest brother passed the imperial examination and got the first place."

"I just heard from the little kid that Brother Jiu is really amazing."

The youngest boy's face was full of admiration when he talked about his eldest brother.

"Come on, let's go home and celebrate for your brother."

Beneath the big camphor tree at the entrance of Lizao Village stood a young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old. He was wearing a jade crown and brocade clothes, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and was very elegant and dignified.

He was standing on tiptoe at this moment, looking towards the entrance to the village.

He had just returned from his teacher's house and heard from the servants that his mother had gone to Lin'an County.

My mother is already four or five months pregnant, how could she still ride in a carriage and travel such a long distance? It really makes me anxious to death.

He stood on tiptoe and looked for a while, but did not see the carriage turning around. Just as he was about to turn back home to get a horse and go into the city to find his mother, he heard the sound of horse hooves and wheels coming from afar.

The young master stopped and wanted to see what was happening. The sound of horse hooves was his mother's return. He saw the familiar Qingwei carriage in the distance.

A flash of joy suddenly appeared on his face. His father had been out collecting debts and had not returned home for half a month. He couldn't let anything happen to his mother while his father was not home.

The Qingwei carriage soon arrived at the young master's side. When the little kid saw the young master, he immediately became very excited.

"Master, you have passed the imperial examination and won first place. You are now the youngest champion in Lin'an County."

The young master smiled calmly, without a trace of pride on his face.

"Mother is at Mama."

Before the little kid could reply, three heads popped out of the carriage.

"Ajiu, get in the car."

When Jiu saw Da Wa, Er Wa and Tuan Tuan, he knew that his mother must be in the carriage as well. Without saying much, he stepped into the carriage.

"Mother, why did you go into the city?"

After entering the carriage, he did not greet his brothers whom he had not seen for more than a month. Instead, he first looked at the woman sitting in the carriage.

"Can't go?"

The woman raised her eyebrows. She initially raised these children because she herself did not want to have children in this era. Now it seems that she has not raised several sons, but several fathers. These children are not even grown up yet, but they are already controlling her.

"Son, aren't you worried that Mom is tired? How is Mom?"

Ajiu did not argue with his mother. He smiled slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and spoke in a soft voice.

"Mom is in good health. Let's go home."

Seeing that her sons had softened their attitude, the woman did not pursue the matter any further. She knew that her sons cared about her and she just didn't like being controlled.

The horse raised its hooves again and soon returned home.

"Mother, let me help you get off the carriage."

Several young men surrounded the woman. The baby in her mother's belly was a precious little girl.

"No need, I'll go by myself."

The woman waved her sons away, stepped onto the stepping stool, and got off the carriage.

"Hurry, hurry, are the firecrackers ready?"

The woman got off the carriage and strode into the yard, calling the servants in the yard to take out the firecrackers she had prepared long ago.

"Mother, that's not necessary."

Ajiu followed his mother helplessly. It was just a title of Jieyuan. There was no point in setting off firecrackers to celebrate.

"Yes, yes, absolutely. Not only should we set off firecrackers, but we should also have a buffet for three days and three nights."

Da Wa's face was filled with excitement. He was the most outgoing person. Seeing Jiu pass the imperial examination made him happier than if he had passed it himself.

"Big Boy is right, let's do it."

Song Yanzhi nodded and accepted her son's suggestion.

In modern times, no matter which university a child gets into, two tables of banquets must be prepared. His son is the provincial top scorer, so there should be a buffet for three days and three nights.

Ajiu looked at his mother and brothers and shook his head helplessly.

"It's up to you."

The servants took out firecrackers and hung them on the jujube tree at the gate of the courtyard. The crackling sound of firecrackers alarmed the people in Lizao Village, and everyone went out to see who was setting off the firecrackers.

Soon many people came to inquire why the Han family set off firecrackers. When they learned from the Han family's servants that their eldest son had passed the imperial examination, they all brought gifts to congratulate them.
