Dressed as a mother-in-law, she leads the whole family to turn over.

Chapter 429 Two Old Men
Facing the old couple's eager and expectant gaze, Xu Nuoyan nodded heavily, with a smile on his face all the time, "Erdan passed the imperial examination, Santie is a bit better, he got the second place in numerology!"

"Hiss! Doesn't that mean there are two Jinshi in the same family?" someone shouted in shock.

Xu Nuoyan echoed, "It's a family with two successful candidates. Grandpa and grandma are both in our house!"

Old Man Yang and Mrs. Li were stunned and did not move for a long time.

Yang Lao San realized something was wrong and quickly slapped Old Man Yang hard, "Father, come back to your senses!"

Old man Yang finally reacted, but his eyes were filled with tears, and he was so excited that his whole body was shaking and he couldn't even move.

Li was in a similar situation. Perhaps she was too happy, her legs went weak and she was about to sit on the ground and cry loudly. Fortunately, Xu Nuoyan helped her support herself.

The villagers also came to help, and finally they calmed the old couple down and sent them back to their old house.

After the villagers sent the person back, they said some words of congratulations, but they knew that it was not easy for the Yang family to keep him under this situation, and it was already dark, so they all left.

Yang Xiaoya brought the nanny and maids to boil water for them, and only then did Old Man Yang and Mrs. Li recover.

Old Man Yang and Mrs. Zhou were too excited. They seemed to have a lot of questions but didn't know where to start.

Xu Nuoyan was worried that the old couple might get too excited and get into trouble, so he quickly comforted them, "Grandpa and grandma, Erdan is already on his way back to Quzhou Prefecture. We won't be here for the New Year this year, but Erdan and Sizhuang are here. They will come back to reunite with you. If there's anything going on at home, they can send someone to the prefecture to notify you.

Also, our family has produced two Jinshi (imperial examination candidates), and we also want to thank the village for their care. My mother's idea was to buy some clan land and ask villagers to take care of it. We would pay the villagers who worked for us, sell the harvested grain, and use the money to support the village school and help the elderly and children in the village.

We will discuss the specific arrangements with the village chief. As for matters such as ancestor worship and feasting, grandpa and grandma can handle it. We can't come back, but we must follow the proper etiquette."

As she spoke, she took out five thousand taels and handed them to the old couple in front of the third wife, and then said, "There is one more thing. Santie is already grown up, and it is time for him to get married. He is interested in Xiaohua. My mother wrote back and asked me to go to Uncle Han's house to ask for marriage on Santie's behalf."

When this matter was mentioned, the old couple instantly recovered.

Li asked anxiously, "Santie is really willing to marry Xiaohua? Will you despise her?"

She had long wanted to pair Yang Santie and Yang Xiaohua up, but at the time neither of them seemed to be interested. There were some other girls around Yang Santie, so she didn't want to say anything. Unexpectedly, it actually worked out.

Xu Nuoyan nodded heavily, "Grandma, Xiaohua is a very good doctor. She has treated many dignitaries in the capital. She is very capable. You must be sincere in your proposal. Mother has already written to Uncle Han. Tomorrow we will ask a matchmaker to come to our house to propose marriage and exchange engagement letters. What do you think?"

Time is too tight, so I just put everything together.

Li was very satisfied with this arrangement. "Let's do as you say. Once Santie's marriage is settled, only Sizhuang will be left. But there's no rush for Sizhuang. Let's wait two years."

Now the first wife has four grandsons. The eldest grandson inherited the title, the second and third grandsons all became Jinshi, and the remaining one will definitely strive to become a Jinshi, and maybe he can even marry a better wife.

She is no longer worried about her grandson.

Li's eyes fell on Yang Xiaoya and she asked with concern, "Did your mother find someone for you?"

Yang Xiaoya blushed, "Grandma! I'm still young, there's no need to rush!"

After being treated like this by her, Li immediately surrendered, "Okay, okay! Grandma won't say anything, but I have your mother and your four brothers here. No matter where you marry, no one can bully you! Now that you are back, go to Songxi Town to see Madam Wan when you have time. After all, she is your husband too." Ever since Yang Laigui went to Mapo Academy, Li had been going to Songxi Town often. After a few visits, she became familiar with Madam Wan and Pan Xiuniang and the others.

Yang Xiaoya nodded seriously, "Don't worry, grandma, I'm awake. This time I want to ask Master Wan, if she is willing, I will take her to the capital. After all, I said when I became his disciple that I will take care of Master Wan until his death."

Although she has not been in Ping'an County in these years, Madam Wan has maids and servants arranged by the Yang family to serve her. She will also send New Year gifts during the holidays, but they are not allowed to meet.

"Just remember them all!" Li touched Yang Xiaoya's head with satisfaction.

They talked for a while before Xu Nuoyan took Yang Xiaoya back.

As soon as they leave.

Zhou couldn't wait to shout, "Father and mother, you all heard it, Erdan and Santie all became Jinshi and officials! Our Laigui can do it too, right?"

Li raised her eyelids and said slowly, "The teacher at the academy said that as long as Lai Gui calms down and studies hard, he will be able to pass the exam. You really should not put pressure on him!"

Zhou was poured with a basin of cold water, and dared not say anything, muttering softly: "I didn't do anything."

Yang Lao San didn't want to continue this topic, so he changed the subject and said to Old Man Yang: "Father, this kind of happy event must be notified to relatives and friends, and a three-day banquet should be held to let everyone in Ping'an County know that our family has produced two Jinshi."

Having a juren can change the family status from a farmer to a scholar. Not to mention if there are two jinshi, the whole village can benefit from it.

"That's right! We need to notify you. We'll go to the village chief's house tomorrow and settle everything. We also need to let Erdan's wife go back and give an explanation to your sister-in-law." Old man Yang was very anxious and wanted to get things done right away.

The next day, Old Man Yang went to the village chief's house before dawn.

The village chief is already very old, much older than old man Yang. He feels that he has no regrets in his life as he has seen two successful candidates in his village. He was so happy last night that he drank two more glasses and almost couldn't get up.

He was still dizzy when Old Man Yang called him to the yard to talk. Only when he learned that Jiang Ning wanted to buy the clan land did he sober up a little.

On an ordinary summer morning, the two old men sat in an ordinary farmyard and quietly finalized several major events in the village.

Yang Xiaoya went to Songxi Town under the escort of the guards.

Wan Niangzi was talking to Pan Xiuniang when she suddenly saw Yang Xiaoya coming in. She was so excited that she lost her composure and asked, "Xiaoya?"

"Sir!" Yang Xiaoya knelt down in front of Wan Niangzi, "I am unfilial. It took me so long to come and see you."

Lady Wan hurriedly helped her up, "What nonsense are you talking about! Although you are not by my side, all the servants in my yard are provided by you. Why did you come back suddenly?"

Pan Xiuniang, the little girl Yang, greeted her and then told her the details of the family situation.

Both of them were pleasantly surprised when they heard this.

Pan Xiuniang was even more grinning, "I said at the beginning that your mother is extraordinary, and you children must be outstanding too. Now it has come true! How great! How great!"
