Chapter 183 Plan
As soon as the members of the Li family arrived at the door of Jiang's house, there was a roar of laughter.Early in the morning, Jiang's father ordered some sheep raised by the family to be slaughtered to worship the ancestors!

When the Li family arrived, the Jiang family had just finished offering sacrifices to their ancestors, and all the relatives in the neighborhood gathered at the Jiang family to talk, and the house was very lively.There was a banquet at noon, Jiang Xu and Wang Shi also heard the news yesterday, and came here to help today, Jiang Xu helped run errands outside to greet the guests, and Wang Shi led his daughter He Hua to help make soup under the kitchen.

Zhou Duan and Zhou Mujin also came here early, both of them looked happy, surrounded by a group of neighbors to congratulate, and began to inquire about Zhou Muyi's marriage even more thoughtfully. Guang, his brother-in-law, has become a popular candidate for son-in-law in Zhangshui Town.

Seeing that the Li family members came, everyone greeted and laughed, and then people talked about Jiang Yanzhong's Jinshi again, and they all praised him.

Then everyone praised Brother Zhang again, "You look smart at first glance, and you will definitely be like his father in the future, and he is also a Jinshi master."

Brother Zhang is now more than one year old. He is white and fat and is very cute. He is just learning to speak at the moment. Although he has no impression of Jiang Yanzhi as his father, Zhou Hanju is by his ear every day. Talking about daddy, he said these two words very fluently, and now listening to everyone's words, he clapped his hands and shouted loudly, "Daddy! Daddy!"

Everyone even praised Zhou Hanju for his good fortune, his future husband, and his son's cleverness. They even said that Mr. Zhou had a good eye for finding such a good son-in-law for his daughter. The official's wife enjoys happiness.

Zhou Hanyu had a reserved and joyful smile on his face, "It depends on how my husband arranges it."

Zhou Duan also said aside, "I don't know when my son-in-law will come back?"

Mrs. Xu was thinking about her son, and held her grandson in her arms to discuss with her husband, "Why don't you ask someone to send a letter to the capital, and see what Yanzhi's plan is now?"

Li Yan suddenly interjected from the side, "Yanzhi shouldn't come back so soon, he still has to take another exam."

Mrs. Xu was puzzled, "You have already won the Jinshi, why do you have to take the exam again?"

Li Yan smiled to answer his doubts, "Except for the top three candidates who are directly awarded officials in the Hanlin Academy, the rest of the new subjects have to take an exam. Go to the Ministry of Officials and wait for the assignment. No matter where you go to be an official, Xinke Jinshi has a holiday to visit relatives. In other words, he should be back soon."

Mrs. Xu nodded again and again, muttering: "That's good! That's good!"

The Jiang family was really busy, and the Li family lived in the Jiang family that day. There was something to say between the parents and the daughter.

At night, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Jiang slept in the same room. Mrs. Jiang coaxed Brother Kang to sleep, and then gossiped with Mrs. Xu, "Mother, I reckon Shunzi should be able to be admitted to some kind of good man, when the time comes He stays in the capital as an official, so he should pick you up, father, and brother and sister Zhang to go to the capital together."

Mrs. Xu shook her head and said, "It's fine for my daughter-in-law and Brother Zhang to go. Your father and I are both old and don't want to go so far away from home, and there is Fuzi studying in the county school. Let's all go." I can't rest assured that he's here alone."

"It's up to you, now that Shunzi has won a Jinshi, this family is in charge, and he wants to pick up your elders, you can still say no, the matter of Fuzi is not difficult, now that Shunzi is an official Fuzi might be able to go to the Imperial College in the capital to study." Mrs. Jiang thought a little more than Mrs. Xu, thinking that with her younger brother's temperament, if he wanted to stay in the capital, he would definitely pick up his parents to go there with him.

"No matter what he did, I'm his mother too, and our whole family is gone. I don't feel relieved to leave you here alone." Xu is not only worried about her son, but also about her daughter. They are here, and her daughter is still there. If the family is by her side, if they all leave, if the daughter is wronged, there will be no place to complain.

Jiang Shi couldn't help but laugh when she heard the words, and said helplessly: "Mother, I am doing well at my in-law's house now. My mother-in-law treats me well now, and Shunzi has won the Jinshi again. My mother-in-law will only treat me better in the future. How can she feel wronged by me?" Accept it."

"That being said, I'm still worried." Xu sighed and held her daughter's hand.

There was also a sense of reluctance in Jiang's heart. How could she be willing to let go of her parents and brothers, but the younger brother has a great future, and taking his parents to the capital to enjoy the blessings is a filial piety. As an older sister, she should support her. .

"Let's talk about this matter when Shunzi comes back. It's getting late, let's go to sleep." Jiang didn't continue this topic, and fell asleep with her mother.

Early in the morning of the second day, after breakfast, the Li family took their leave and left. Although Mrs. Li said that they could stay for a few more days, Mrs. Jiang was also discreet, and staying for one day was almost enough, and Jiang Yanzhi would come back later. Home, come back soon.

At the beginning of May, Jiang Yanzhi and Dong Liangchen finally returned home, and the boat they took arrived at Zhangshui Town at night.

Because Jiang Yanzhi's letter originally said that it would arrive the next day, so Jiang received the letter on the second day, and took the three children to Jiang's house without stopping. This time, Li Yan went with Mrs. Li. The Dong family visited their daughter and son-in-law.

When Jiang saw his brother in blue, tears of joy flowed down his face. He held Jiang Yanzhi to watch for a long time, then wiped away his tears and said, "It can be regarded as coming back!"

Li Meier was also very happy to see her uncle, she threw herself into his arms and smiled, "Father and mother have been happy for a long time when they knew about uncle's admission to Jinshi, and have been looking forward to your return. There are family leave."

Jiang Shanqing and Kang Ge'er also saluted Jiang Yanzhi. Kang Ge'er was almost three years old now, and Jiang Shi taught him very well. Although he was young, he knew a lot of etiquette.

After several people sat down, Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Yanzhi carefully again, and saw that his appearance hadn't changed a lot, but his temperament was slightly different from when he was at home, like a piece of rough jade that has been polished to reveal its elegant brilliance.

Seeing his much thinner face, Mrs. Jiang said with some distress, "I have lost a lot of weight, and I will have to make up for it when I come back."

Jiang Yanzhi just smiled and said: "After all, the food in the north is not so appetizing. Although I brought a lot of pickles made by my sister, they are not as good as the ones at home."

"Now that I'm back, ask my younger siblings to cook more delicious food for you every day, so that you can grow stronger, and you can be a better official when you go to the capital." Jiang said with a smile, and then glanced at the waiter standing aside. Zhou Hanyu.

The smile on Zhou Han's face never stopped. Hearing what Jiang said, he immediately nodded in agreement, "That's natural. As long as my husband wants to eat, even the dragon meat from that day, I will get him."
