Zhulan hasn't been out for a long time. Now the weather is good and the ground is green. "Good."
Li stood up and said, "I'll go get ready now."
As a result, all the women at home had to go to the temple, and several carriages from the marquis's mansion left the city.
Zhulan and her group set out late, and there were quite a few people in the temple, many of whom were praying for blessings.
Let’s go pray first. Coincidentally, Zhulan saw Wei Xinyi and asked, “Did you come here by yourself?”
Xinyi blushed slightly, "I came here with my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law went to fulfill her vow."
Zhulan was happy to see her future daughter-in-law. Xinyi came to the temple to pray for Changzhong, so she motioned for Xinyi to sit down and talk.
Xinyi stirred her handkerchief, "Aunt, has Changzhong sent any letter recently?"
Zhulan smiled and said, "I'm here, so I'll write you a letter too."
Xinyi's ears turned red, and she nodded gently, "Yeah, I talked a lot about the scenery of Zhoujia Village."
He also said that he would take her back someday, and wrote in the letter a lot of interesting things he had seen.
Zhulan felt emotional, her youngest son was particularly good at flirting. Look at Xinyi's appearance, she was totally devoted to her youngest son.
Xinyi's second sister-in-law came to Zhulan after fulfilling her wish, and only then did Zhulan know that she was pregnant. It can be said that Xinyi's mother was a good mother-in-law. She only had one daughter when her second daughter-in-law married and she never urged him to get pregnant.
Of the two daughters-in-law of the Wei family, Zhulan likes the eldest daughter-in-law quite a lot. The one in front of her is too soft-hearted. If it weren’t for the good people of Feng, she would have been bullied.
On the way down the mountain and back to Beijing, Li suddenly asked, "Mother, do you think this is the Luo family's carriage?"
Zhulan looked over and said, "It really is."
"The convoy looks like it's moving. Where are they moving to? Aren't the Luo family from Beijing?"
Zhulan saw that the owner had only one carriage, "It should be the retired Mr. Luo who moved to the manor."
The old lady of the Luo family has been living in the manor and has not returned. Now that Mr. Luo has retired and is going to the manor, he probably also wants to hide.
This official, who retired in the most shameless way, stayed in his house in the capital and couldn't go out. It would be better for him to go to Zhuangzi to cultivate himself.
Li was speechless, "It's so hard for the old lady of the Luo family to get some peace and quiet."
Zhulan thought that some things could not be completely severed by giving them up.
Li changed the topic and said, "Mother, I met the future Second Prince's wife."
"Miss Li?"
"Yes, I worship Buddha very devoutly."
Zhulan sighed and said it was useless to pray to Buddha. Unless the Li family was powerful, her marriage would still be unhappy.
Chuanzhou, Changzhi finally arrived in Chuanzhou and took out the list given by the emperor, "It's time to get busy."
The servant asked, "Sir, where shall we go first?"
Changzhi pointed at the name and said, "Let's go to the state capital first."
He wanted to go to the provincial capital to take a look. He was very curious about the prefect of the provincial capital. He also wanted to inquire about the distribution of the aristocratic families in Sichuan and the situation of the imperial examinations of the aristocratic families. He had a lot of things to find out.
Servants: "According to the current speed, we can reach the state capital today."
Chang Zhi hummed and continued looking at the list. There was blood behind every name. He took a deep breath. This place was too rampant.
The carriage stopped after a while, and the servant asked, "What happened?"
The driver replied, "The two cars ahead are blocking the road."
The servant got the hint, opened the car door and went to the front to inquire about the news. He came back soon, "The two families in front are very famous in Chuanzhou. One is the married daughter of the An family who came back to visit relatives in Chuanzhou City. It is said that someone from the An family has been appointed as an official in Beijing. The other is the Shen family. The two families must have been fighting for a long time, so they blocked the road.
Changzhi, "Settle down home."
The servant asked, "Does the lord know the An family?"
Chang Zhi actually knew that among the officials who came to Beijing last year, there was one with the surname An, "Check the An family."
My father said that one should judge a person by his younger self. If a married girl from the An family is so arrogant, you can imagine the family style of the An family.
After hearing what was said, the servant got out of the carriage again, whispered a few words to the guard outside, and then stood with the coachman to watch the excitement ahead.
In the capital, at the Prince Qin's Mansion, Ze'er frowned, "Dad hasn't found any news about Lu Jiaqing in such a long time."
Rongchuan was not as anxious as his son. "There's no rush to check it slowly."
Ze'er was a little depressed. This was his first time doing this. "However, I did find out a lot about the An family in Chuanzhou."
"Tell me?"
Ze'er, "The An family is very arrogant in Chuanzhou, and has a great reputation in the local area."
Rongchuan still didn't have much interest, "Okay, don't think about it, just read the book."
"oh."
I still feel a little unwilling that I haven't found any information about Lu Jiaqing.
Time passed quickly, and soon the county exam was over and the results came out. Changzhong ranked first, and the county magistrate was very happy. He did not let him off easily, and felt that he was worthy of being the son of Marquis Zhou.
Minghui's ranking was also good, ranking third. This was not surprising to Minghui, as he had been exposed to the resources since he was a child. It would be strange if he did not do well in the exam.
Therefore, the candidates have already opened up a gap before taking the exam.
Minghui also saw Hu Liang's name, "It's actually the fourth."
Changzhong was not surprised, "From the questions he asked, I could tell that he has solid knowledge."
Minghui found Hu Liang, who was frowning, obviously dissatisfied with his noun.
Hu Liang was indeed not satisfied. He knew clearly the gap between him and Zhou Changzhong. He had not even scored higher than Zhou Minghui. In his eyes, Zhou Minghui was a dandy!
Minghui retracted his gaze and whispered to his uncle: "Uncle, nephew is waiting for you to win the third prize."
Changzhong tapped Minghui on the forehead with a fan and said, "Let's go."
Minghui, "The exam is finally over, shall we go around?"
Changzhong shook his head. "The county town is so small, nothing can get better. I want to go back and rest."
Minghui added: "Then I'll go around by myself."
"good."
In the capital, Zhulan was very concerned about the two brothers and sisters of the Shao family. Shao Xun and Miss Jiang were engaged, and Minghui helped Shao Xun a lot. She waited for Jiang Ling to come to the Marquis' Mansion and asked Shao Xun in particular, "How is his review going recently?"
Jiang Ling, "Thanks to the book that Master Minghui lent him, Shao Xun has done a good job in reviewing and is very likely to pass the exam this year."
"That's good."
Jiang Ling thought about it for a while before asking, "I wonder if Master Minghui is doing well?"
Zhu Lan smiled, "This kid is very casual. No one has pressure on exams, but he doesn't."
Jiang Ling knew what was going on and handed over the list in her hand, "This is the list of new students."
Zhulan took it and looked through it. There were more than 20 new female students, five of whom were already married. "You and Shao Ting did a great job."
Jiang Ling, "The college is good, so they are willing to trust it. Shao Ting and I just did some publicity and didn't do much."
"Don't be modest. I see all your efforts."
She has already thought about giving bonuses to Shao Ting and Jiang Ling. These two people really deserve the reward.
Not long after Jiang Ling left, Xue Han brought her children back to the Marquis' Mansion.
As soon as Xue Han came in, she sent the maid away, which scared Zhu Lan. "What happened?"
Xue Han said: "Mother, Fourth Brother has already arrived at the capital of Chuanzhou."
Zhulan, "How do you know so much?"
Xue Han looked at her eldest son, and Ze'er replied, "Grandma, I sent someone to check on Lu Jiaqing. Lu Jiaqing was different from the An family, so I checked on the An family."
Zhulan got the point. "The An family is originally from Chuanzhou. Did you happen to meet your fourth uncle during your investigation?"
Ze'er nodded, "The person sent knows my fourth uncle, and my fourth uncle is also at Cha'an's house!"
