When the carriage arrived, Zhulan got out of the carriage. The front was crowded with people, so Zhulan didn't step forward. Chang Lian and Rong Chuan squeezed in with their boys.
Although Zhulan did not step forward, she could still hear the discussions around her. There were not many candidates this year, still 150, and the emperor was still not generous. The candidates who did not make the list this year left in despair, and the candidates who did make the list left in despair. Excited to prepare for the imperial examination in a few days.
Zhulan couldn't help but stand on tiptoes. Although she had confidence in Chang Lian and Rong Chuan, she still felt uneasy because she hadn't received accurate news.
Despite her age, Mrs. Song has a particularly good look in her eyes, "The Third Young Master and Young Master Rong Chuan are back."
Zhulan also saw it, looked at their faces, and was happy, "They must be on the list."
Chang Lian held the fan in his hand, walked slowly, and said with joy, "Mom, my son is on the list, and he is number 21."
Zhulan looked at Rongchuan again, "What about you?"
Rong Chuan felt relieved and said, "Sixteenth."
Zhulan smiled and said, "These are all good results. Don't put too much pressure on yourselves. The final results will be after the palace examination. When we go back home, we should celebrate today."
She was confident in saying this. During Zhou Shuren's palace examination, there were many candidates who were ranked lower in the examination and who were ranked higher.
As long as the two children maintain a good attitude, they will be fine.
Shen Yang was a little proud. His ranking was sixth. After searching around, he found Mr. Zhou, "Mr. Zhou, I heard that Mr. Zhou would try for second place back then. Mr. Zhou's ranking is far from Mr. Zhou."
Chang Lian knew in his heart that as soon as his results came out, someone would definitely compare him with his father. Unexpectedly, the first one to jump out was Shen Yang, who said calmly: "Master Shen, you can't compare even if you want to."
Zhulan pressed the corner of her mouth with her handkerchief and suppressed her smile. Chang Lian's words hurt her heart!
Shen Yang's face suddenly changed. He wanted to say anything else, but he lost the confidence. "I have to take a step first and say goodbye."
Chang Lian was too lazy to pay attention to Shen Yang, but thanks to Shen Yang, some people who didn't like him stopped. Chang Lian said: "Mom, let's go back."
Zhulan was very pleased to see that Changlian coped well. The child finally grew up.
Chang Lian said as he walked: "Now everyone knows that Rong Chuan is our son-in-law, and everyone who is ignorant comes up to ask Rong Chuan!"
Rong Chuan coughed and said, "Third brother."
Zhulan smiled on her face, but she was worried in her heart. There were too many problems with Rong Chuan's life experience, and she was really afraid that a good marriage would go into trouble. "Okay, stop teasing Rong Chuan."
Chang Lian was stunned for a moment. He spent more time with his mother, but he always felt that her mother was not as happy as she looked on her face, so she remained silent in the end.
Back at home, Zhulan first gave wedding money to her servants. Today was a big day, and they were all very happy.
Mr. Dong is the happiest. If you get on the list, you can take the imperial examination. Like a diligent bee, Ms. Dong can be seen everywhere.
Zhulan also wrote a letter, and Chang Lian and Rong Chuan each wrote one and quickly sent it back to Jinzhou.
At the Jinzhou government office, Zhou Shuren received the news earlier than the letter. The message sent by Lord Wang said, "Master Zhou, congratulations."
The stone in Zhou Shuren's heart moved. It was indeed a happy thing, "Same joy, same joy."
Mr. Wang is in a particularly good mood. The better the Zhou family is, the more stable the relationship between the two houses will be. His eldest grandson, that is the eldest grandson, has a different meaning. "My lord, I want to treat you today."
Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "Absolutely, I will definitely invite everyone according to my arrangements."
Mr. Wang also smiled. He really deserved a slap in the face. At this time, he basically knew the results. He gloated, "Sir, I will help you notify them. They must have been notified."
Master Wang heard this when he came in, "Master Wang, I will go with you to inform you."
During this period of time, because of He Shu's relationship, the Wang family and the Zhou family had become closer. He also heard frustrating words, and he was just waiting for this day to vent his anger!
Zhou Shuren asked the boy to go back to his house to report the good news, and then touched the money in his purse. He had already prepared the money for the treat!
In the Zhou Mansion, Xue Han got the letter and called the housekeeper, "Quick, go set off the firecrackers, yes, and the monthly money in the house will be doubled this month."
She was also holding in her anger. The young lady she had been quarreling with in the past few days often made trouble with her third brother and Rong Chuan!
Xuehan told Liuli again, "Go to the kitchen and let us know. Let's eat together in each room."
The corners of Liuli's mouth turned up, not only because of the extra monthly money, but also because the better the Zhou family, the better future for the uncle, the better the young lady, and the better the girls like them, "Yes."
After Mrs. Li was happy, she muttered, "Mom will be back soon."
Then he looked at the younger son holding the pen, pinched his face, and said, "You have to live up to your expectations. In the whole family, your grandfather has only held your uncle and you in his arms. Your elder brother has not been treated like this, mother." I don’t ask you to fight for my mother’s life, but since your elder brother is here, my mother only hopes that you will follow the example of your third uncle.”
Yulu listened to this and thought to herself, it's a good thing that Minghui didn't understand, otherwise there would be so much pressure, and she still looks up to the third uncle. This requirement is too high. In her eyes, except for the younger uncle, the third uncle He is the most powerful person. He may not be as good at reading as the fourth uncle, but the third uncle is more tactful and she thinks the third uncle is more powerful.
As for the fourth uncle, she thinks he is too smooth. He is a good father, a good master, and married to a good wife. Therefore, the fourth uncle is not as cautious as the third uncle. The fourth uncle is more public than the third uncle. Anyway, she likes the third uncle more.
In the second room, Mrs. Zhao was happy and continued to sort out the papers written by her son. The Zhou family was good, and their second room was good, but in the end they relied on their son. Recently, his son had been working harder and rarely messed around with Ming Teng. She was the most Gratified.
When Mrs. Zhao saw her daughter holding her son's pen, she smiled and hugged her daughter, "Yu Die also wants to be literate?"
Yudie held the pen tightly and nodded her head, "I like it."
I like to listen to my brother reading.
Mrs. Zhao kissed her daughter's little face. This girl liked to be close to her son the most, especially when his son was reading and writing. Then she sighed. This girl loves reading so much. It would be great if she had a son. The second wife would also be more confident. "When you are older, mother will teach you how to read."
In the fourth room, Su Xuan's belly was a little big. She didn't dare to move now. The baby in her belly moved just now. She said to the girl next to her: "I won't go to dinner tonight. You go and tell the lady."
The girl took the order and went out, "Yes."
Su Xuan touched her belly and said, "You guys should be happy too, and my mother is happy too. The better the Zhou family is, the smoother your future will be."
She hoped that the two children would not be in a hurry to come out. They had just passed seven months, and it was best to be born at nine months.
In the capital, in the palace, Ning Xu's lips never dropped as he looked at the list. Reading it once was not enough.
The emperor was speechless, "Are you paying too much attention to Zhou Changlian? Do you have such a good impression of him? Look at the way you look at the list. I don't know, I thought the Ning family's children were on the list."
