The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 277 Congratulations
Shanghe Village is full of smiles today.

As they were from the same clan, seven of them passed the imperial examination at once, which was naturally a cause for joy for all the Manchus in the village.

The seven families whose families had received the good news from the yamen runners gave them some congratulatory money, treated the runners to some sugar-coated eggs, and happily sent the runners away. Only then did they have time to greet their fellow villagers.

The Lu family was an orphan and a widow, with no one else at home. When the yamen runners came to their house, it was their uncle's family next door who came to help entertain them.

After being busy with this, we have to entertain people from the village who come to congratulate us. It’s really busy all the time.

After finally finishing the work, Mrs. Lu breathed a sigh of relief and thanked her uncle's family with a smile.

Chang couldn't help but say, "Jin'er is a promising man. In our family, he is the only one who can be like his uncle. You will be able to enjoy Jin'er's blessing sooner or later. Just wait to become a royal consort!"

She was really moved. The three branches of their family had the same father, and their family and her brother-in-law's were all prosperous. Although their family might not have other things in common, they had a large family. Her brother-in-law also had a large family. Moreover, her brother-in-law passed the imperial examination and became a juren. Later, he failed the imperial examination and used his connections and spent some money to get a job as a county magistrate in a small county. He could be considered to have found a proper way out and became an official.

But the second house... my second uncle died of illness early, leaving my second brother's wife and Jin Ge'er, an orphan and a widow. Although they had no worries about food and clothing, it was lonely.

This Jin brother has been sickly since he was young. To be honest, they just wanted him to live longer in peace, but they never thought that he could achieve anything successful through his studies.

After all, he is the only blood of his second uncle. With his second uncle's blessing, after a serious illness, he recovered completely. Not only did he grow stronger, but he also passed the imperial examination and became a student!
What a promising future!
Her sons were only barely able to study, so seeing her nephew's ability, Chang was very happy for them.

Mrs. Lu couldn't help but shed tears, "I just hope that he is healthy. It doesn't matter if he becomes a royal consort or not. As long as Jin is well, I'm fine with anything!"

Chang was thinking about something and said, "I see that Jin'er is in good health now. He has passed the imperial examination, which is also a great thing. He is sixteen years old, and seventeen is just a matter of time. What do you think, should we arrange a marriage for him?"

The second house has few descendants, so naturally there is no time to waste. It is also a big deal to find a wife for Jin Ge'er as soon as possible to expand the family and add children to the family.

Mrs. Lu had always been concerned about this matter. After all, Jin'er had been in poor health since he was a child, and the doctors said that he would be difficult to raise. She wanted to find a wife for Jin'er as soon as he grew up, so that she could at least have a descendant to carry on the family line.

But now Jin Ge'er is in good health and his complexion is as rosy as that of normal people. He also asked a doctor to take his pulse, and the doctor said that his physical condition would not affect his life.

She is only sixteen, so Mrs. Lu is not in a hurry.

"Jin Ge'er himself said that he is not in a hurry about this matter. He said that a good man should establish a career before starting a family. Now he is concentrating on studying well for the imperial examination."

Mrs. Lu had a gentle personality. Her husband died early, and she depended on her son for life. As the saying goes, a woman obeys her husband after marriage and obeys her son after her husband's death. Now that her son has grown up, has become successful, and has his own ideas, she is willing to listen to her son.

Chang disagreed. "Having a family doesn't prevent you from taking the imperial examination. With a wife who cares about you, wouldn't Jin'er be more likely to take the imperial examination? Besides, the imperial examination is not that easy. Take his uncle for example. Didn't he take the exam for more than ten years before he passed? How can Jin'er not get married?"

As Mrs. Lu listened, she thought that her brother-in-law had indeed taken the exams for many years before he passed, and that he had not been able to pass the exams any further, and had only managed to get a job as a county magistrate as a juren.

Could Brother Jin be more powerful than his uncle?

Although she thought the child was good, passing the imperial examination was indeed not an easy task.

She was actually bewitched by the child.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu couldn't help but say, "What the eldest sister-in-law said is true... I will talk to Jin'er when he comes back." Mrs. Chang nodded, "Jin'er's marriage is easy to arrange. If you need my help, just tell me. You also know that my sister's mother-in-law is the matchmaker."

Mrs. Lu nodded. If she wanted to find a matchmaker, she naturally couldn't go beyond the relatives.

As the two sisters-in-law were talking, a voice came from outside the door, "Excuse me, is anyone home?"

Everyone in the village who came to congratulate had already done so, but the door of the Fan family was still open.

Hearing the voices, the two sisters-in-law who were talking in the main room couldn't help but look outside, and saw a man standing at the gate of the courtyard, holding something in his hand, and it seemed that he was here to congratulate.

But, they don’t know this person?

But seeing that it was a young man, she was not so shy. Lu came out to greet him, "I'm here, who are you?"

Jiang Bing said politely, "My humble servant Jiang Bing, my eldest son sent me to congratulate Master Fan on his success in the exam."

As he spoke, he respectfully presented the gift box in his hand. Seeing that Mrs. Lu was stunned, he couldn't help but add, "My eldest son is Li Rongzong from Xiahe Village across the street. He is a friend of Mr. Fan."

When Mrs. Lu heard Li Rongzong's name, she came to her senses and hurriedly reached out to take the gift box, saying "you're welcome" and so on.

Jiang Bing delivered the gift and completed the girl's instructions. Without staying any longer, he said goodbye and left.

After he left, Chang looked at the gift box and couldn't help but ask, "When did Jin Ge'er become friends with the son of the Li family?"

She was also curious. Even in the Fan family, everyone knew about the Li Jihe family of the Li family across the street. "The Li family is really amazing now. In our family, there are people who make flower cakes and sauces for generations, but none of them have the momentum of making fortune like his family."

"Speaking of which, Sister Xiang also asked a matchmaker to go to the Li family to propose marriage to her son Shengzi. The second daughter of the Li family is about the same age as Shengzi, but the Li family did not respond. I heard that many people have come to the Li family to propose marriage recently. That girl is called Shi Liu. I also took a look at her from a distance. She is indeed not bad."

As she spoke, she thought about the fact that Li's son and Jin Ge'er were friends, and she couldn't help but become interested.

"Come to think of it, Brother Jin is a good match for this girl in age..."

Mrs. Lu listened quietly. She naturally knew the current momentum of the Li family across the street. Their business had expanded to the provincial capital. She had bought fructose at the beginning, and later on, Jin Ge'er also asked her to buy toys, meat floss, snacks, etc.

I heard that all this was the result of the hard work of Miss Pomegranate. She was a capable girl. As early as the first time she met her selling candy at Dafeng Market, Mrs. Lu saw that this girl was capable.

However, Mrs. Lu had not expected this. When she heard her sister-in-law say this, she thought of the pomegranate girl she had met, and her heart was moved.

The girl is generous and open-minded. She is very nice in her way of speaking and handling things. She has a beautiful smile and is likable. If she were to be a daughter-in-law, she would be a great choice.

just.

"I heard that many people have proposed marriage to the Li family, including the Zhou family in Datong Town. As for the Zhou family, I have heard from your uncle that the son of the Zhou family also has the title of Tongsheng, and he is going to take the imperial examination this year. He has good knowledge and is likely to pass the examination.

The Li family rejected even the Zhou family, so they probably don’t like ours either.”
