Chapter 363

Song Yi'an returned to his yard and lay down on the bed directly, covering his eyes with his arms, feeling infinitely sad in his heart.

The maid looked at each other, the uncle looked so ugly, what happened?Song Yi'an's wife, Luo Xianghua, quickly followed him in. Seeing his husband lying on the bed, he sulked, and asked softly, "What's the matter?"

Song Yi'an moved a little, "It's nothing."

But Luo Shi knew in his heart that he must have been angry with his father-in-law and brother-in-law, otherwise, the old man would not be like this after the Chinese New Year.

It's really ridiculous to say that Xianggong is obviously the eldest son, but he is not valued by his father-in-law.Isn't it just that my uncle can read and passed the examination as a scholar at the age of 17?The husband is in charge of the family property, and he travels outside every day. He seldom spends time at home all year round. Such hard work is not as good as that of a younger uncle who only spends money outside.

But it's not that Xianggong can't read books, his talent is just not as good as that of his brother-in-law, and compared with other house brothers, he is slightly stronger.It was the father-in-law who made the decision not to let the husband continue to study, saying that he wanted to concentrate all the resources for the one with the most talent for reading, saying that the eldest son managed the family business in his hometown, the second son concentrated on the imperial examination, and the brothers worked together to shine on the family.

Isn't it a poor family in the village, too poor to read books, and the Song family is so big that they can't afford the imperial examinations for their two sons?Isn't the father-in-law partial?It is also filial to the father-in-law, and the father-in-law will stop studying if he says he will not, and learn to manage the family property honestly.

If Xianggong continues to read, maybe he can also be selected as a scholar.The paintings and writing in Xianggong's study room are all good.Luo Shi felt aggrieved for his husband.

It's fine for father-in-law to be biased, if uncle is a good one, the father-in-law doesn't know how uncomfortable it is to celebrate the new year.Xianggong is only two years older than my uncle, and he treats him like his own son.I can't think of bringing a gift for my son when I go out, but spend a lot of money to buy books for my brother-in-law, and buy high-quality pens, inks, papers and inkstones.I heard that somewhere there is a book that is helpful for my uncle's imperial examination. The husband drove out without saying a word, and he had to get it for his uncle after all the trouble.

Elder brother is impeccable in doing this, right?
But how did my uncle repay his husband?It was okay before I was not selected as a scholar, and I would say a few polite words when I met.After being selected as a scholar, my brother-in-law seemed to be a different person, his eyes grew to the top of his head, and his money was like running water.Xianggong mentioned something cryptically, and he told the cat whose tail was stepped on that Xianggong was jealous of him, and that he was the one who supported the Song family.Since then, he has become more and more disrespectful to his husband.

The conscience of heaven and earth, how could Xianggong be jealous of his own younger brother?Xianggong is not that kind of person at all!On the day my brother-in-law was selected as a scholar, the husband was so happy that he was drunk, holding his son who was only a few months old and teaching him over and over again, so that his son could learn from his brother-in-law.

Arguing again and again, slandering, sarcastic remarks... Xianggong's heart is also made of flesh, can you not feel chilled?

Thinking of this, Luo Shi felt very sorry for her husband, and sometimes she even thought that father-in-law valued her uncle so much, so she might as well divide their eldest house.She has a dowry, if the husband wants to study, she will come to offer it.

"Sister, get up, I'll ask someone to bring my son, and you can play with him for a while." Luo Shi persuaded softly.

She married into the Song family at the age of 15, and she was pregnant only two years ago. Fortunately, she gave birth to a son, otherwise she would have received so many stares.

"Alright." Song Yi'an didn't want his wife to worry, so he got up from the bed.Seeing that his eyes were red, Luo Shi felt sore, but said nothing, and took his son from the nurse's hand to the husband's arms.

Seeing his son's immature face, Song Yi'an softened his expression a lot.And Luo Shi looked at the husband who was patiently talking to his son, and his heart flashed with satisfaction.She really didn't understand that her man was a good husband-in-law, a good father, a good son, and a good brother, but because he was not as good as his brother-in-law in reading, was he useless?
Suddenly, her brows tightened, and she thought of something, "Master, my father sent someone to visit me yesterday." In fact, he came to inquire about the news. Her natal family is in the town, and the county magistrate appreciates the New Year ceremony. Luo's family is in the town. Naturally, the wealthy households don't care about the meat and rice, but what does the county magistrate mean?It just so happened that the Song family whose daughter married into the city probably knew more about it, so the Luo family hurriedly sent their servants into the city. "It is said that the town is the same as the city, with one catty of meat, two catties of rice, and cloth. But Dad said that they also spread two news, one is to recruit workers, the other is to recruit talents, the county government is short of people, Anyone who has read the book and knows martial arts can take the test. We haven't heard of it in the city, and I don't know if it's true?"

"Since it was reported by people from the yamen, it must be true. I haven't heard of it in the city..." Song Yi'an pondered for a while, and said: "It should be because the county yamen is here. You see, the county yamen will be here in the next year." A notice will be posted. It seems that our county magistrate is going to make a big move." Although he failed to go to the banquet with his father last time, his father and second brother praised the county magistrate very much after they came back, which convinced the second brother There are really not many people here, which shows that the county magistrate is not a simple person.

"It's good if it's true!" Luo smiled happily, and encouraged him: "Master, the county magistrate didn't say that you have to be famous. He only said that you can take the exam if you have studied. You have studied for many years, and you Go to the test."

If you really pass the exam, you will be a member of the yamen.Although Xianggong didn't say anything, Luo Shi knew that he had an attachment to reading in his heart, and even if he was a copyist in the county government office, he would still be "scholarly"!It doesn't matter if the salary is low, anyway, she has a lot of dowry.What's more, they haven't separated yet, and the expenses are all paid by the public.When Xianggong enters the county government, father-in-law won't dislike him anymore, right?

"I can't." Song Yi'an subconsciously denied, "I haven't touched books for several years, and I have already returned what knowledge I have to my master." The most important thing is that the second brother is definitely going to take the exam. When the second brother passes the exam, He failed the exam, what a shame!The clan still doesn't know how to ridicule him.

"No, no, really no." Song Yi'an shook his head repeatedly.

Luo Shi persuaded him, "What's wrong with giving it a try? Let's sign up quietly and don't let others know." She knew what my husband was worried about, "Don't you know what is going on in our Shanyun County? Those who are famous are even rarer, and those who studied at a young age like Xianggong already have an advantage. Xianggong, let's give it a try, shall we?"

Song Yi'an was really tempted by what she said, yes, anyway, he has also studied for ten years, and he is much better than most people. Is it true that he will take care of the property all his life?Song Yi'an was actually not reconciled.

"Try it?" He hesitated.

"Give it a try! Think it's for our son." Luo Shi was very sure.

Song Yi'an's eyes fell on his son. If he was really lucky enough to be admitted to the county government, it would be easier for him to meet the county magistrate than outsiders, and he could help his son with any good deeds.

Thinking of this, his eyes became firm, "Then give it a try!" After a pause, "Lady, I'm going to the study to review my homework now, you pay attention to the county government's notice, I won't go out before the exam, If someone is looking for me, you can find a reason to dismiss it."

"Okay!" Luo Shi looked at the high-spirited husband-in-law, without reminding him that it was Chinese New Year, and agreed without hesitation.During the Chinese New Year, there is a lot of entertainment, and the father-in-law thinks highly of the uncle, so let the uncle go.If it weren't for such a big event as sacrifice, no one would want to disturb her husband's progress.
