Mu Yun'an believed that Xiao Chengyi would not lie to her, and there must be another hidden reason behind the death of cousin Ze Fang in his previous life.
Now that she has the upper hand, she must not let such a tragedy happen again, not to mention that cousin Ze Fang is still the only son of his uncle's family and is the only remaining bloodline of the Wang family.
After her mother passed away, her uncle would bring her cousin Ze Fang to visit her every year. However, she was too stupid and gradually alienated her uncle's family because she was provoked by Aunt Liu.
So much so that her uncle later stopped coming to the capital to see her, but during the holidays, he would send people from Changzhou to deliver some things.
More than half of them were given to her. Although they were small items, they represented her uncle's affection for her.
Thinking about it now, she has not seen her uncle and cousin Ze Fang for three years.
Mu Yun'an couldn't wait. After she was dressed up by Yuli, she went to the old lady's Qingzhu Pavilion.
In the room, besides Xin Ruyi and the old lady, Xiao Chengyi was also there.
The old lady knew that Wang Zefang was here to take part in the examination, so she called Xiao Chengyi over. After a polite greeting, the two of them sat together and talked about the Jieyuan of various places this year.
This imperial examination system is divided into rural examinations, general examinations and palace examinations. The rural examinations are held by various places. Among them, the person who ranks first in the provincial examinations is called Jieyuan.
Wang Zefang and Xiao Chengyi both won first place in the provincial examination.
The old lady listened to their talk, and the gloom caused by Liu Lanxin also dissipated a lot, and Xin Ruyi comforted her: "Mom is so lucky. Three people from our General's Mansion are going to take part in the examination this year, and two of them
All of them are Jieyuan, which is something that others cannot envy."
In addition to Wang Zefang and Xiao Chengyi, Mu Xingze will also participate in this year's examination. Although Mu Xingze did not take the top spot in the provincial examination, he was ranked seventh.
After hearing this, the old lady gradually felt more comfortable. Although these three were not her biological grandchildren, they all represented the General's Mansion.
If one of the three of them can get the top prize, it would be a great honor for the General's Mansion.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the maid report: "Miss Third is here."
The old lady raised her head and saw Mu Yun'an opening the curtain and walking in. Although Yan Yan came to greet her every day, she had never noticed before that she had actually lost weight.
Her originally chubby face now has a pointed chin, and she is a little taller. I have to say that her granddaughter has become more and more beautiful.
She is already fourteen years old this year. In another year, when she gets her haircut, she will start talking about getting married. It’s time to slowly start looking for a candidate!
"Yan Yan pays his respects to his grandmother."
After Mu Yun'an walked in, he knelt down and bowed to the old lady.
The old lady came back to her senses and said to her with a kind smile: "Yan Yan, this is your cousin Zefang, do you still recognize him?"
Mu Yun'an then looked at Wang Zefang. In her memory, her cousin was thin and tall, but very cheerful. He behaved very obediently when in front of others, but his true colors were revealed when no one was around.
He would sneak out with her secretly, climb trees, catch birds and play in the water, but Mu Yun'an loved to fly high on his neck.
Now that we meet again, Mu Yun'an feels that the naughty boy of the past has grown up. Not only has he become more handsome, but he has also become much more mature and stable.
And he has the scholarly scent of the Wang family that has lasted for hundreds of years. He is a handsome young man who is as gentle as jade and has a graceful demeanor.
