Yan Lizhou's physical fitness was very good, so when he came out after the three-day college examination, he was not as depressed as other scholars.
It was just that he hadn't washed himself in three days, and Chen Yu couldn't stand the smell on his body, so he put him in the bathhouse and washed him again.
During the three days when Yan Lizhou was taking the exam, Chen Xun stayed at her parents' house. Now that Yan Lizhou was out, of course he also went to Yue's house to rest.
After Chen Yu got married, her mother's family still kept her boudoir, so Yan Lizhou slept directly in her room after washing up.
None of the Chen family bothered him or asked him how he did in the exam. At least he took the exam seriously this time and the results will be known in a few days.
When Yan Lizhou got up from his sleep, it was already the next morning. He and Chen Yu planned to return to the village after having breakfast.
"Aren't you going to stay and wait for the results to be released?" Chen's father saw Yan Lizhou leaving and looked at him and asked.
"I won't stay anymore. Anyway, my brothers and nephews come to the county every day, and they will also come on the day when the results are released. They will tell me what the results will be." Yan Lizhou said with a smile.
"Mother-in-law has also been disturbing my father-in-law and mother-in-law these days, and my son-in-law has also worried everyone for a few days." Yan Lizhou explained.
After Yan Lizhou spoke sincerely, Father Chen could only let them go back.
Father Yan and Mother Yan have not seen their son for a few days, and there is no need for Father Chen to stop him from going back. Anyway, the college exams are over now.
"Dad, let's go back first." Chen Xun said goodbye to Father Chen with a smile.
"You, don't be lazy in the Yan family. You still have to do what you have to do. Of course, there is no need to be too hard on yourself until you are tired, you know?" Father Chen looked at his daughter and said.
His daughter had never suffered hardships since she was a child because her family's situation was pretty good. He was very worried when she insisted on marrying 'Yan Lizhou'.
After all, although 'Yan Lizhou' is a scholar and a child, his family grows crops after all.
Although Father Chen is from the county town, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know how hard farmers live. He doesn't want his daughter to live a hard life.
But he couldn't win over his daughter, so he had no choice but to let her get married.
Fortunately, after the daughter got married, the son-in-law's family gradually developed. Although they were not rich yet, the daughter did not have to endure hardship.
But because of this, Father Chen was very worried that his lazy daughter would be too conspicuous by not doing anything, which would make her in-laws look displeased.
But he loved his daughter very much and couldn't bear to let her work too hard and be tired.
Father Chen is really confused.
"Don't worry, Dad, my daughter is sensible." Chen Xun said with a smile.
Even though Father Chen was reluctant to let go, his daughter was getting married after all, so he did not stop her anymore and watched his daughter and son-in-law leave.
"Dad, you are not so reluctant to leave me." Chen Ran, Chen Yu's sister, looked at her father's reluctant look and complained with a sour face.
Of course, Chen Ran is not that jealous of her sister. Her father and mother treat the four children in the family in the same way. Although they care more about their son, they also love the two sisters very much.
She is older than her sister, married into a wealthy family in the county, and has never experienced hardship.
Originally, she was very worried when her sister was going to marry in the countryside. Now that she sees that her sister is doing well, she feels a little more relieved.
However, she has no hostility toward her sister, but it doesn't mean that she won't be bitter if her father is reluctant to leave her sister and he doesn't treat her the same way.
When Father Chen heard what his eldest daughter said, he looked back at her and said, "How can it be different? Your husband's house is not far from our house."
Chen Ran married the son of Chen's father's friend, and her family owned an oil and grain store. Although the store was not very big, it was their own.
Chen Ran's husband's family still has several hundred acres of land and is considered a small landowner.
Chen Ran's husband's house and her parents' house are on the same street, so it is very convenient for her to go back to her parents' house and she can come back whenever she wants.
Also because the parents of the two families have a good relationship, she has not encountered any difficulties in her husband's family.
Although her mother-in-law did not like her a little bit after she became her daughter-in-law, her father-in-law and husband still liked her very much.
Her mother-in-law was only occasionally awkward, but no matter how she grew up, her mother-in-law watched her grow up. She would occasionally target her at home, but when they were outside, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were always on the same page.
Chen Ran looked at the expression on her father's face and said unhappily, "Dad, even if my husband's family is not far from my parents' home, I am still a married daughter."
"We are both daughters, but you are so kind and reluctant to part with me, but you don't show anything to me. How can you not make me feel sad?"
"Dad, if you treat me differently than you treat Niang Niang, and favor one over the other, it will make our relationship bad," Chen Ran complained.
Father Chen: "..." This eldest daughter is really very talkative.

Chen Yun didn't know how Chen Ran and Chen's father would develop. She and Yan Lizhou left some things at her parents' house and returned to the village.
This time they did not continue walking home. Yan Lizhou bought a horse with his own money, and the couple rode back to the village together.
In the past six months, Yan Lizhou not only read books and studied, he also found ways to make money.
Yan Lizhou did not copy books or anything like that. Instead, he tried writing scripts at Chen Xun's suggestion. Of course, what he wrote was what he had seen and heard in the frontier in those years, with a little artistic processing.
Yan Lizhou has been in the army for so many years. He followed his grandfather and uncles in the military camps at a young age. Now he has seen a lot of frontiers, military camps, and battlefield scenes.
So he sorted it out a little, and then wrote a storybook, which was slightly artistically processed and sold well.
Yan Lizhou's storybooks are not very popular, but they are not unpopular, and they still make more money than his copying books.
The story he wrote is very strong, and it is adapted from a real person and has seen it personally, so it feels very real and immersive.
It is not a very best-selling storybook, but both men and women like this storybook he wrote.
Not only people here in Lin County like it, but it spread from Lin County to other places in Jiangnan within a few months.
With the money, Yan Lizhou gave some to the middle-aged man, and then he kept some for himself, and then he had the money to buy the current horse.
The horses here in Lin County cannot be compared with Yan Lizhou's beloved horse. His horse was a war horse, but the one he bought now is an ordinary horse.
But as a means of transportation, it is already very good. At least the horse is healthy and not a sick horse.
It took about an hour to walk, at least less than half an hour, and Yan Lizhou and Chen Yu were back in the village.
"Oh, Yan Jiulang is back." The villagers shouted with joy when they saw Yan Lizhou riding back.
"Yan Jiulang actually bought a horse? This means he is rich."
"Yan Jiulang can actually ride a horse. He looks so cool and handsome when riding a horse."
"Isn't Yan Jiulang too powerful?"
The villagers talked a lot when they saw Yan Lizhou and Chen Yu. Everyone was envious of him for buying a horse and being able to ride a horse. Of course, they were even more envious of the life of the Yan family.
In the past, the Yan family's life was hard and tight, and they even laughed at them for being so unconscious just to support Yan Jiulang's studies.
Unexpectedly, the Yan family is now up.
Moreover, Yan Jiulang also took part in the college examination, and he might be able to pass the examination as a scholar.
In this way, the Yan family is the family of Xiucai Gong.
