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

The two rushed to Shi's yard and saw Fan Tongshu's face was ashen, and they were all confused.

Gu explained to the two in a low voice, "Father didn't know about Mother's previous plan. He was very happy to know that the fourth son of the Yang family became the top scholar, so he ran to tell Mother about it. He also told her about your two brothers going to the Yang family to congratulate you, and said that he would prepare a precious dowry for Mianmian. Mother fainted from anger."

The Fan brothers: “.”

Shi's condition was indeed critical this time. Although he was out of danger with the doctor's full efforts to save him, he became paralyzed on one side of his body, his face was a little crooked, and he stuttered when he spoke.

She couldn't meet outsiders in this state anymore.

When Fan Tongshu knew the ins and outs of Shi's illness, he was so angry that he refused to enter Shi's yard again. He even ordered people to lock Shi's yard, which was a disguised form of house arrest.

With Fan Tongshu's help, Zhong Mianmian won't have to worry about her grandmother causing trouble for her when she marries to the capital.

In Guangen Houfu.

Jiang Ning looked at his four sons and Yang Fugui with satisfaction, and finally set his sights on Yang Sizhuang and Yang Fugui, saying: "It's time for you to return home in glory after you have passed the imperial examination. Tell your grandparents about this news and make the whole clan happy. I have some things for you to do."

Jiang Ning instructed everyone about everything, one of which was related to the seeds that Yang Santie brought back.

She had the Kitchen God System and already knew the types of those seeds. The climate in the capital and Quzhou Prefecture was different, and the effects of seeds planted in different regions also varied greatly. She couldn't go through the hassle of going between the two places, so she could only entrust this important task to Yang Sizhuang and the others.

The two of them carefully wrote down Jiang Ning's words, and then set off for Quzhou Prefecture under the escort of the guards.

When they arrived in Quzhou Prefecture, it was the hottest time in the prefecture.

Yang Sizhuang handed the seeds given by Jiang Ning and some written precautions to Butler Zhu, and then went to Quzhou Academy to meet Zhong Bohan.

Zhong Bohan was very satisfied with Yang Sizhuang, his favorite student and grandson-in-law. After a few pleasantries, he asked, "Did the emperor say what official position he would give you?"

Yang Sizhuang pondered and said, "There is no news yet, but my elder brother asked for me and said that he will most likely enter the Hanlin Academy, train there for a few years, and then be sent out."

Zhong Bohan nodded. "This arrangement is reasonable. By the way, did your mother tell you when you and Mianmian will get married?"

Yang Sizhuang blushed and said excitedly, "Sir, my mother meant that when I come back this time and propose, I will take Mianmian to Beijing to get married when I leave Quzhou Prefecture."

"So fast!" Zhong Bohan was a little surprised, but he was more happy in his heart. Having Yang Sizhuang personally welcoming the bride would naturally be more grand than having the Zhong family directly send someone to the capital.

"Forget it! Then do as your mother wishes!"

After getting Zhong Bohan's approval, Yang Sizhuang immediately asked someone to find a matchmaker and carried the betrothal gifts to the Zhong family according to the rules.

The people of Quzhou Prefecture already knew that Yang Sizhuang had won the top prize in the imperial examination. Now the top prize winner went to the Zhong family in person to propose marriage, making others envious.

Zhong Mianmian became the envy of the ladies in Quzhou Prefecture.

After the engagement.

Yang Sizhuang immediately took Yang Fugui back to Ping'an County.

Because the yamen runners did not arrive at Rongshu Village to report the news, the villagers did not know that the two men had passed the imperial examinations. When they saw the large group of people marching into the village, the entire Rongshu Village was excited.

A few old men and women saw the yamen runners beating gongs and drums in front of the team, and they couldn't help but get curious and stand up to look. When the runners came in, the bold old man stepped forward and asked, "Sir, what's the matter?"

The official stopped and shouted in a loud voice, "Congratulations to Mr. Yang Changshen from Rongshu Village for passing the imperial examination and Mr. Yang Fugui for passing the imperial examination!"

The officer repeated it three times.

All the old men and women who had recovered from their shock jumped up. To the shock of the yamen runners, they rushed to the village at full speed. Before anyone could see them, they all started shouting at the top of their lungs, "What a great event!"

As soon as Yang Sizhuang and his group entered the village, they were surrounded by villagers who had rushed over before they even reached home.

When the two brothers saw Old Man Yang and Mrs. Li rushing towards them from the crowd, they got out of the car and took the initiative to greet them.

"Grandpa and grandma!" they both shouted in unison.

Old Man Yang and Mrs. Li cried with joy, each hugging one of their grandsons and sobbing loudly.

Liu and others who were watching from the side also had tears in their eyes.

"Ah Hu's mother, you should be happy about such a happy event, why are you crying like this! You will be laughed at!" Liu joked.

Only then did Old Man Yang and Mrs. Li stop crying in embarrassment.

When Old Man Yang came to his senses, the first thing he did was to give money to the officials who had come with him to report the good news. This time he was very generous and gave one or two taels of silver to each of them.

The officers were so happy that they couldn't see their teeth, and they were full of festive words.

At this time, Yang Lao Er squeezed into the crowd and looked at Yang Fugui in a brocade robe in disbelief. He looked very excited, "Fu Fugui! What's going on? How did you become a Jinshi?"

Yang Laoer's question expressed the doubts in the hearts of all the villagers. Zhou stared at Yang Fugui without blinking, her eyes full of doubt.

It was clear that Yang Fugui was still an illiterate child when he left Rongshu Village. How could he become a Jinshi so quickly? Her family had spent so many years studying and spending so much money, but now he was still just a Tongsheng. How could she feel?
Yang Fugui's smile faded a little. Before he could speak, Li came to his defense, "My grandsons are all very capable. With the support and cultivation of the old family, it is only a matter of time before Fugui passes the exam!"

Zhou's eyes widened, biting her lip as she looked at Li, "Mother, are you saying that the eldest sister-in-law specially found a powerful teacher to teach Fugui?"

Li didn't know much and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

At the critical moment, Yang Sizhuang stepped forward and explained, "Aunt, it was not my mother who found a teacher for Fugui. Fugui followed my second brother to work and learned a lot of knowledge about construction. It was also the time when the imperial examination system was reformed, so he took the exam together with my second brother. My second brother had a solid foundation and passed the exam smoothly. Fugui failed the last autumn exam, and he studied hard for three years and took the exam again, and finally passed. It has little to do with my mother, it was all his own efforts."

Zhou was a woman and didn't understand what the reform of the imperial examination system meant. She felt better when she heard that Jiang Ning didn't contribute much.

Li grumbled, "Although your mother didn't do anything, she was willing to support Fugui and promote Fugui, which is already better than many people!"

"Grandma is right. I will never forget the kindness of my aunt." Yang Fugui quickly expressed his opinion.

Yang Sizhuang smiled bitterly, "Grandma, Fugui is serious about his work. He is able to manage the brick kiln factory and study at the same time. He has achieved what he has today through his own efforts."

Li waved her hands, "That's enough! I know what you mean. Anyway, it's a happy event that our village has two more Jinshi! I'm going to take out the coffin book and set up a three-day banquet for you. No one can persuade me!"

Li suddenly became willful, and Yang Sizhuang and Yang Fugui were helpless against her. (End of this chapter)
