The marriage was introduced by Wang's sister-in-law, who boasted that the Hai family was a good one. She said that the Hai family had fifty acres of land, and Hai Shanyuan could still study, so he would definitely be a scholar in the future. After Qi Juan married, he would definitely have only
Enjoy the blessing.
She is right about her family background, but the Hai family is stingy. They are reluctant to lend so much land to others. The daughters-in-law of the family work in the fields themselves. As for Qi Juan, because Qi Juan is good at studying, she can enter the textile industry.
Factory, they said it nicely, saying that after joining the factory, Qi Juan would not be allowed to work in the fields. But just looking at the attitude of the Hai family towards other daughters-in-law, we also learned that the Hai family does not separate families, and all the money earned is kept by the old couple.
, the Qi family finally broke off the marriage.
At that time, many people said that the Qi family had a high vision and missed a young scholar like Haishan Yuan.
Mrs. Wang snorted, "Hai Shanyuan is not as good at studying as Juan'er. The Hai family has the nerve to let Juan'er serve Haishan Yuan."
She didn't intend to see Haishan Yuan's mother Chang, but Chang had already opened the door proactively.
Mrs. Chang was carrying a basket in her hand, which contained several steamed buns and several corn cobs.
Mrs. Chang said: "I didn't expect Sister Juan to be so promising. This time she actually won the first place, which makes us women look good."
Mrs. Wang snorted directly, "That's not what you said before. You said it's useless for Sister Juan to read so many books. It's just a waste of time. It's better to join the factory early to earn family income."
She winked at her niece and asked her to come in. It was better for her to deal with someone as messy as Chang.
Mrs. Chang lightly slapped her face with her hand and said, "At that time, I was blind to gold and jade. How could I have imagined that Sister Juan could read so well?"
She never expected that the world had changed and women could take part in the imperial examination. When she found out that Qi Juan had applied for the examination, Mrs. Chang even quarreled with her family, saying that a girl thought she had become a talented woman after studying for a few years.
, she still went to take the exam, not afraid of losing face. When the results came out, her son was hanging on by her tail, but Qi Juan became the county case chief, with unlimited glory. I heard that this year’s exam questions were given by His Majesty the Emperor, and the county case chief’s paper will still be
They were sent to the capital. So many people laughed at them.
Everyone said that with Shan Yuan's poor grades, there was no way he could pass the imperial examination and become a female scholar this year. On the contrary, Qi Juan was likely to pass the imperial examination this year and become a female scholar. They also said that the Hai family was short-sighted.
Mrs. Chang was naturally very angry. But the head of the house was right. If Qi Juan were to marry, she would be able to assist Shan Yuan. She was so good at reading, so she must have a better way to read than others. She couldn't be better than others.
Shan Yuan is smart. With her guidance, Shan Yuan will definitely improve a lot in his studies.
Thinking of the master's instructions, Mrs. Chang licked her face and said, "Shan Yuan has been thinking about Sister Juan these days. No matter how many marriages I see for him, he will never look down on her."
Mrs. Wang felt disgusted when she looked at her arrogant face and said, "You must be thinking about the notes our Sister Juan usually makes. Come on, good girls don't go into bad homes. If you dare to come to the door again, don't blame me for being mean."
Your house is full of excrement."
Anyway, she is a shrew and can do anything.
Mrs. Chang's face turned dark. She had shown her sincerity, but the Qi family actually took advantage of Qiao.
"It's just a fluke that you got admitted as a county chief criminal. Others compliment you a few times, but you really take yourself seriously."
Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "No matter how lucky your son is, he will never be able to pass the county chief's examination." There are more than 400 people taking the exam this year, and the one who ranks first is her niece. Why can't Ms. Wang be proud?
Mrs. Chang was so angry that she gritted her teeth and was about to say a few harsh words when someone came outside.
Just at this time, Shengnan came to Qi's house to send congratulatory gifts in person. Shengnan was dressed in silk and satin. Although there was only one jade hairpin on his head, the hairpin was exquisite and of excellent texture. Coupled with the overall air of the whole body, it was obvious at first glance that it was not.
An ordinary person. Looking at the guard with a saber behind her, Chang swallowed all the dirty words.
Mrs. Wang guessed a thing or two, and her voice was filled with surprise, "But someone is coming from the Princess's Mansion?"
Shengnan smiled and said: "The princess was very happy to know that Miss Qi became the county's chief criminal, and ordered me to send a congratulatory gift to Miss Qi."
Wang waved her hand and said: "If the princess hadn't built a girls' school and received silver rewards if she studied well, how could Juan'er have the future she has today." Juan'er studied well and received scholarships every year. That child treats her relatives well.
Well, after deducting the expenses for pens, ink, paper and inkstones, all the money is used to support the family.
Shengnan said: "That is also Miss Qi's ability. The princess hopes that Miss Qi can continue her efforts and become the first female scholar in Daxia."
Although there are already female officials in Daxia, they are all selected through selection rather than through formal imperial examinations. After standing out from the above-board exams, those pedantic officials have nothing to say. After all, they themselves failed the exams.
The first female scholar!
Mrs. Wang's heart was filled with excitement just thinking about it. Mrs. Chang next to her kept looking at the mahogany box brought from the princess's mansion, and she was very curious about the rewards inside. Mrs. Wang immediately asked people to move the things to her niece's room.
Katsuo looked at her and asked, "Who is this?"
Chang's face turned pale and she winked at Wang, hoping that Wang would not say bad things about her.
The Wang family did not want to show off to her family, "This is from Juan'er's ex-fiance's family. Previously, our marriage was broken off because Juan'er wanted to study. Now that Juan'er has passed the county examination, she wants to get back together again."
Sheng Nan said calmly: "Such shameless people are rare. Your Qi family is still too good-tempered, so let people like this come to your door."
Chang's face seemed to be splashed with colorful dye, which was really wonderful. She felt regret and fear in her heart. The maid turned around and blew wind into the princess's ear. Will the princess leave a bad impression on her son?
Thinking like this, Mrs. Chang frightened herself so much that she fell ill after returning home.
Shengnan didn't complain to Su Yueling, anyway, the Hai family probably wouldn't dare to cause trouble to the Qi family in the future.
Su Yueling originally wanted to stay until the county examination was over, but because she wanted to see how many female talents Dingnanzhou could produce this time, she stayed in the end, which could be regarded as witnessing history.
Although Yuan Suijun wanted to spend more time with his wife, he received one letter after another from the capital, urging him to go back. After all, Yuan Suijun's work is not something that just anyone can take on. There are selfish motives in the court.
There are too many ministers, and Rong Zhao cannot trust them.
If he doesn't leave, I'm afraid the imperial edict will come.
Yuan Suijun had no choice but to go back home. Before leaving, he took back a group of handsome guards that his mother had packed and sent.
Su Yueling:......
That’s so stingy! Can’t you just save a few for her to look at?
