A blessed wife leads her husband to wealth and prosperity!

Grass, I only asked one question, why are you so anxious!

Seeing that Cao'er was about to cry, Lin He'er quickly waved her hand to stop teasing the girl.

Thinking that Cao'er was two years older than him, and was fourteen this year, in ancient times, she should indeed be engaged at that age.

However, Lin He'er still had a modern mindset and would never let her son get married early. After all, people in ancient times did not understand women's health and wellness, which is why they encouraged women to get married and have children early.

Lin He'er thought to herself that no matter who marries Cao'er in the future, she must make it clear to them that no one over the age of eighteen should be allowed to have a child with Cao'er.

Many women in ancient times died during childbirth, along with their unborn children, not because they were too young!

As Lin He'er and Cao'er were talking, they saw Wen Yuning return from outside the shop.

Brother Wen, it's not a holiday today, why did you come back from the county school?

Lin He'er looked at the person, who still had a reserved smile on his face, and wondered why he had come back today.

He'er, let's go back to the back room to talk.

Wen Yuning took his wife's hand and led her back to the room.

He'er, I passed the exam!

What? Brother Wen, say it again?

Lin He'er seemed not to have heard what Wen Yuning said clearly, and then asked another question.

I passed the family examination and found a wife.

Wow, you're amazing, Brother Wen!

When Lin He'er heard that Wen Yuning had passed the prefectural examination, she was so happy that she threw herself into Wen Yuning's arms!

Wen Yuning held his wife in his arms, feeling her warmth and fragrance. He was overjoyed to have passed the prefectural examination and felt incredibly happy today.

Brother Wen, what was your ranking in the prefectural examination?

Lin He'er couldn't wait to know her ranking in this exam!

My ranking wasn't high; this time it was in the thirties.

Wen Yuning was actually quite satisfied with her ranking in the prefectural examination. After all, there were many more talented people in the prefectural city, and she felt very lucky to have ranked in the thirties.

However, when I said this to my wife, I felt a little embarrassed, and I was also a little afraid that my wife would think that I wasn't trying hard enough.

Thirty-something? That's impressive, Brother Wen. After all, you haven't been studying for very long, and this is your first time taking the prefectural examination. Your ranking is quite high.

Wen Yuning was even happier to see that his wife genuinely thought he had done well on the exam.

After being happy for Wen Yuning, Lin He'er also had something to tell this person.

Brother Wen, I have finished making the handbag that the princess ordered.

As you know, the princess is in a hurry to receive this package, so I'm thinking of taking a boat to the prefectural city tomorrow to deliver it there.

When Wen Yuning heard that his wife was going to the prefectural city, he said that Meng Xing must be taken with her and that she could not go alone.

Okay, I'll take Meng Xing with me.

Is Brother Wen going back to the county school this afternoon? Lin He'er wondered if Wen Yuning had come specifically to tell her this good news, or if he had something else to do.

I'm going back now, and I'm coming back for lunch to tell you this news.

"Yes, I'm so happy you got in," Lin He'er hugged Wen Yuning.

Are we leaving now?

Hearing that Wen Yuning was going back, Lin He'er asked another question.

Yes, I'm going back now, otherwise I'll miss my afternoon class because of the party.

Okay, I'll go out with you too.

Lin He'er took the drawing she had made the day before yesterday and planned to go to the county government office today to see Miss Cao.

Are you going out on business?

Wen Yuning didn't expect his wife to be going out now.

Yes, the shop has taken on another job making suitcases.

You wouldn't believe it, but Lin He'er took the things and left the shop with Wen Yuning.

They talked as they walked.

After listening to his wife's account of what happened at the shop the day before, Wen Yuning felt that his family was indeed very lucky.

It seems that Madam Cao is most likely the wife of the county magistrate.

He'er, do you know that our county magistrate has only been in the county for half a year longer than us?

He had previously served as an official elsewhere and was only transferred to Kaiyang County a year ago.

Therefore, it's unlikely that he could get the hang of managing county government affairs so quickly.

What happened in our shop the other day might actually benefit him.

Seeing that Lin He'er didn't understand the consequences of this matter, Wen Yuning didn't say anything more to her. He was still happy that his family had benefited from it.

The two parted ways as they approached the county government office. Wen Yuning went to the county school, while Lin He'er went to the county government office gate.

Based on her experience from her last visit to the prefectural government office, Lin He'er figured that the county government office probably also had a back door.

So Lin He'er leaned against the corner of the county government office wall and walked straight to the back.

When he walked to the back alley of the county government office, he indeed saw a door open at the back.

I went up and knocked on the door, and the gatekeeper at the back door opened the courtyard gate from the inside.

Excuse me, sir. I'm the shopkeeper in our county. I had an appointment with Mrs. Cao and Miss Cao the other day to see some designs. Could you please pass on the message?

The gatekeeper, seeing that she was looking for the lady and young lady, simply told Lin He'er to wait a moment, closed the courtyard gate, and went to inform the person.

After a while, a servant boy followed by a maidservant arrived at the back door.

Shopkeeper, please come with me. My young lady is waiting for you.

Lin He'er nodded and followed the maid into the backyard, walking forward.

After passing through only one corridor, Lin He'er arrived at the flower hall with her entourage.

Shopkeeper, please wait a moment, the young lady will be here soon.

The maid ordered someone to serve Lin He'er fragrant tea and then turned and left.

Lin He'er sat in the flower hall, quietly waiting for Cao Qianqian to arrive.

Looking around, he realized that the county government's backyard was indeed not as big as the prefectural government's. Not only was the area smaller, but the layout of the backyard was also less impressive.

The two are quite different.

After sitting for a short while, people saw Cao Qianqian come into the flower hall from outside.

Sorry, shopkeeper, something came up and I kept you waiting.

After Cao Qianqian finished speaking, she sat down in the chair.

I heard from Xiaoyue that you brought the blueprints. Let me take a look.

Okay, Miss Cao, please take a look. I have drawn three pictures, and you can choose one of them.

There are three patterns! You're really amazing.

Cao Qianqian was surprised that the shopkeeper could actually draw several pictures.

He took the pattern Lin He'er handed him and slowly began to look at it.

These three pictures are all different, and the box body is also different from the one of the older brother!

Moreover, the patterns on each box are quite different.

The first one seems to be a minimalist style. It depicts a cluster of orchids. The second and third ones look very different, and I don't even understand what they're supposed to be!

Shopkeeper, I don't quite understand your second and third designs.

Tell me what's drawn on this? It looks so cute and childlike!

Seeing that Miss Cao had questions, Lin He'er got up and came to her side, pointing to the second drawing and explaining.

This picture shows the twelve zodiac animals. If you choose this one, you can use your own zodiac animal on the box.

Moreover, the patterns on our boxes are not directly carved onto the boxes. We select additional wood, carve the patterns, and then combine them with the boxes.

The third one is done in the same way, except that this pattern is a smaller version of Miss Cao's own image, which I call the mini version!

Try to make it look like a child's image, that would be cuter!

Ah, no wonder! When Cao Qianqian saw the third picture just now, she felt that it was somewhat familiar. It turned out to be a miniature version of herself.

I have to say, it actually looks really cute!
