"God's business, what can we do." Lu Hanzhi poured a cup of hot tea to warm Zheng's hands, and comforted her, "Fortunately, the capital is not far from Nanhua, and the road is also good, but it's raining, so walk slowly. If Auntie and the others are in a hurry, they should arrive before dark. If you are worried that the road will be difficult, find an inn to stay temporarily, and there will be so many servants following, so mother doesn't have to worry."

This is also the reason Zheng thinks about. Although Cheng Yuhui is not good enough, he is still in his early thirties. Although Ye Sequn has not even passed the exam, but he has traveled this way many times, and it is impossible for the whole family to return home. What's up.Thinking of this, Mrs. Zheng put down this end, and waited for the person who went to Nanhua to come back.

It rained continuously for two days, and on the day when the sky cleared, the people who went to Nanhua rushed back to reply, saying that Cheng Yuhui's family had found an inn to stay for one night, and returned to Nanhua the next day.Cheng Yuhui's family arrived safely, and the Cheng family was also relieved, and concentrated on waiting for Qiu Wei to release the list.Qiu Wei, who postponed the re-examination, was released only three days later than in previous years under the overtime review of the examiners.Mrs. Zheng sent people to guard in front of the gate of the tribute courtyard early in the morning. When it was almost noon, the messenger sent back the news that Cheng Junxu had passed the exam.

Mrs. Liang led her daughter and waited in the main hall early in the morning. Never mind how much she didn't want Cheng Junxu to pass the exam. In front of others, Mrs. Liang was eagerly looking forward to his stepson's studies. When it came out, Mrs. Liang clapped her hands, but she didn't know whether it was surprise or fright.

Mrs. Cheng was very happy, she was taken aback by Mrs. Liang, she turned her head and stared at her, then looked back, and asked: "Have you announced the good news to the Wang family? Now that you have passed the exam, you can go to Chunwei next year with all your might, or It’s fine to study for another two years and wait for the next one.”

"Mother, don't worry, the daughter-in-law has made arrangements. When I get the news, I will go to the Wang family to announce the good news." Zheng's face is also happy. The Cheng family has always been a general. Cheng Junze also took the martial arts exam before. It's a little worse, but Cheng Junze is the eldest son, and he will be appointed as a prince in the future, and he will also practice martial arts to lead the army. Naturally, martial arts is more suitable than Wenju.

Having just said that, someone from the Lu family also came to announce the good news that Lu Minzhi passed the Juren examination smoothly.

"This is a good thing!" Since the two families are in-laws, this happy event should of course be shared. Mrs. Cheng was happy, and gave money to the person who reported the letter to the Lu family, and said: "It is a great thing for Jun Xu to be selected in the exam, although it is not good. Zhang Yang, but you should celebrate at home, eldest daughter-in-law, prepare a family banquet tonight according to the holiday routine, and ask people to tell the eldest and second child to come back earlier."

Mrs. Zheng was already prepared to take the exam. It was already cold in this season. It would be fine to store things for a day or two. If she failed the exam, just pretend that there was no such thing. Cheng Junxu is still young, so she can take the exam again next time.Hearing Mrs. Cheng's instructions, Mrs. Zheng said with a smile on her face: "Mother, don't worry, my daughter-in-law will arrange it right away and make sure it's done properly. At the Lu family, I will wait for tomorrow to send a gift to express my congratulations. "

"It should." Mrs. Cheng nodded repeatedly.

Since it was a family banquet, Song Cheng who lived in Cheng's house also came over, men and women sat separately, and a few young people poured wine around Cheng Junxu, saying that today is his big happy event, and he needs to drink a few more glasses.The women's side was much quieter, they used light sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and only tasted a few cups. After eating, everyone put their chopsticks away, and then sat and talked.

When Cheng Junxu passed the examination for Juren, Mrs. Cheng inevitably thought of her daughter-in-law who died young, but she couldn't say anything in front of Mrs. Liang, so she just told Mrs. Zheng that Cheng Junxu had passed the examination and had to study hard in the future.Mrs. Liang felt a little unhappy. She had her own children, so of course she didn't have much compassion for Cheng Junxu. Thinking of Cheng Junxu's studies were not so good in the past, the scholar took several times to pass the exam, and this time he passed the exam. Juren, obviously it was done for her to see in the past.

Mrs. Liang doesn't feel that she has done anything wrong to her stepson and concubine daughter, but she just thinks that Cheng Junxu is someone else's son, and she really doesn't know how to raise him well. She also thinks of Cheng Junxu's marriage with the Wang family, and feels that after being overwhelmed by the elder wife, she is also the first wife. The remaining stepson weighed down.Looking at Cheng Junyi who was foolishly following to toast Cheng Junxu, Liang gritted his teeth angrily, wondering why he was so careless.

Under the envy, her head inevitably became hot, Liang looked at the scene of joy and harmony, and lost her mind about some words, and said: "Mother, Erlang is not young, now he has passed the Juren examination, and he will get married next year, is it right in the house?" Should we let two people go?"

This release is obviously not an ordinary maid, many people also have this habit, but no one said it in front of many people.Lu Hanzhi understood, so he lowered his head, pretending that he didn't hear it, Ye Rong, who didn't understand, looked around, and lowered his head too, only to feel that adding this sentence made the whole dinner table feel awkward.

Mrs. Cheng's face darkened. When did she say this? I'm afraid that others might not know what she was thinking?I just wanted to scold, but unexpectedly someone came to report from outside, "Old madam, grandpa, madam..." A circle of people shouted, "Second aunt and cousin are here!"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.Didn't Cheng Yuhui's family go back to Nanhua?Mrs. Zheng sent someone to look at it. That day, the family went to an inn to avoid the rain. The rain in the capital continued for two days, but it stopped at Nanhua in the evening. Cheng Yuhui's family was delayed for a day, and returned to Nanhua the next afternoon. From then to now, it took only about ten days to do everything, why did Cheng Yuhui's family come again?
Everyone was surprised when Cheng Yuhui rushed in with Ye Rui.Ye Rui is the aunt of the Cheng family. The whole family lived in the Cheng family for a while, but the servants did not dare to stop them, so they just chased after her. Seeing Mrs. Zheng looking over, she hurriedly said: "My aunt is in a hurry to see the old lady. I can't stop it."

"What's going on here?" Mrs. Cheng felt a headache when she saw the mother and daughter crying, "How grown up, what does it look like to cry!"

"Mother, you have to decide for my Ruier!" Cheng Yuhui rushed up and hugged Mrs. Cheng's leg, "If you don't care about Ruier, Ruier will have no way out!"

Ye Rui followed Cheng Yuhui, wiping tears with a handkerchief in her hand.Ye Rui learned the tricks of cheating from Cheng Yuhui, but she also learned some poetry and books from her father, unlike her mother who cried while hugging Mrs. Cheng, she just wiped her tears and sobbed.It's just that usually this girl is pretending to cry because she saw something, but now she is crying with real emotion.

Mrs. Zheng didn't look like it, but fortunately the family banquet was almost over, so she asked Cheng Junze to break up, don't really get Cheng Junxu drunk, and sent Guo Xinlian and the unmarried girls back to the room. Stepping forward to pull Cheng Yuhui, "Second Sister has something to say. If you want your mother to make the decision for Rui girl, you have to explain what is wrong? Mother is old, how can she stand the second sister's frightening."
