Chapter 579 Aunt and Nephew Meet
When I first arrived in Beijing, everything was very busy.

The next day is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we have to get ready as soon as we get up in the morning.

This was their first Mid-Autumn Festival in Beijing. Shi Liu was worried that her parents' family would not be able to adapt, so she discussed with Fan Jin and Lu and decided to go to Yutaifang to celebrate the festival together.

Fan Jin naturally didn't care and listened to Shi Liu. Lu also thought it was a big deal. After all, there were only three of them. It would be more lively if the two families lived together, and they were not outsiders.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s rules or not.

They had been on the road for half a month and finally arrived in the capital. They lived in such a big house. Needless to say, the Song family members couldn't get used to it for a while.

When Shi Liu came back, she said she wanted to celebrate the festival together. So, old man Li and old lady Yuan were all smiling and very happy.

After the holidays, there are even more things to do.

First, he sent a visiting card to the Luo family in Tongluo Lane, and then Shi Liu went to the Liu family to talk to Liu Dongjia about Zhou Xudou's matter.

Liu Dongjia also knew about Zhou Xudou, and since Shi Liu was the one who came forward, he was happy to give her this honor and promised to go back and have a drink with the son of Marquis Jing'an.

Then came the matter of Li Rongzhang and others’ admission to school.

There are numerous academies in the capital, and the best and most famous one is Huaiqing Academy, which is second only to the Imperial College in the capital. The president is a world-famous scholar.

With such a reputation, Huaiqing Academy is certainly not open to just anyone.

In order to enter Huaiqing Academy, one must pass the academy's examination. I heard that the entrance examination paper is very difficult, equivalent to the level of the provincial examination.

Although they say they are accepting students, in fact any student among them can directly take the provincial examination.

It’s like a university. If you haven’t even graduated from junior high school or are still in elementary school, just forget about it.

Unless you are a genius prodigy.

Li Rongzhang and the others who thought they were wrong took a step back silently and said, "Why don't we choose another academy?"

Although Li Ronghua and Li Rongfeng are currently determined to study hard, they are still poor students. They dare not even speak a word, for fear that Sister Pomegranate will ask them to take the entrance examination of Huaiqing Academy, which is like asking them to take the county examination and put them on the spot.

"Then go to Zhiyuan Academy. It just so happens that the entrance exam for Zhiyuan Academy will be held in three days. You should prepare and take the exam early in the morning three days later!"

"Zhiyuan Academy?" Li Rongzhang asked hurriedly, "What kind of academy is this?"

"Zhiyuan Academy is second only to Huaiqing Academy. The entrance exam is not that difficult. As long as you have a certain foundation, you can usually pass."

"Really?" Li Rongzhang didn't believe it. This academy was second only to Huaiqing Academy, how could it be easy to get admitted?
Pomegranate smiled: "How can I lie to you?"

It is true that it is easy to pass the exam, but once you enter the academy, you will have a small test every ten days and a big test every month. The tests will make you question your life, but you have to pass it even if you can't!
As human beings, oppression gives us motivation. Only when we know our own shortcomings can we work hard to make up for them.

The imperial examination is a series of exams, and you have to have some endurance to pass it.

This is also the most suitable academy that Shi Liu selected after careful screening. There was another academy that was good in all aspects, but the academic atmosphere was not too strict.

There were countless fights and games in the academy, and she certainly couldn't send her brothers to such an academy, because it would not be a place for them to study, but a place for them to spend their days, and even those who were not bad would be corrupted.

Zhiyuan Academy is pretty good. I study and prepare for exams every day.

The capital city is so prosperous that it is easy to be dazzled if you are not careful.

The Luo family replied very quickly, and the one who sent the invitation was Madam Lu, who was beside Old Lady Luo. She was Madam Luo's dowry, so she naturally knew Madam Lu, and when they met, she was also very excited.

"It's been twenty years in a flash. I almost didn't recognize you, young lady!"

Mrs. Lu was also excited when she saw Madam Lu. "Madam Lu, I haven't seen you for twenty years. How are you? How is my aunt? Is she in good health?"

Madam Lu said hurriedly, "I'm fine, but I'm worried about you, Miss Tang! Ever since I met my cousin's grandmother last year and got to know your name, I've been looking forward to meeting you sooner! The old lady also has old problems with her arms and legs, and the master is worried about her going far away, otherwise, she would have wanted to go back to Guangling to see you a long time ago!"

Knowing that you have passed the imperial examination, the old lady is extremely happy for you and is looking forward to your coming to Beijing soon."

"Look, after receiving the visiting card and knowing that you, my dear, have come to the capital, the old lady immediately asked me to come. She is waiting in the mansion and has asked someone to prepare the peach cakes that you loved the most when you were a child, just waiting for you to come over! The master also specially ordered the kitchen to prepare a dinner, and asked the cousin and his wife to come. We are relatives, so let's have a good meal!"

Mrs. Lu nodded and couldn't wait to see her aunt.

She came to Beijing this time just for this.

Otherwise, it would be fine for her to stay in the village. She had been used to living here for so many years. She was not used to the long journey here. She was missing her home and the puppet workshop all the way.

Fan Jin had not yet left the yamen, so Lu and Shi Liu followed Nanny Lu and went there first. They stayed at home and told Fan Jin to go to Luo's house as soon as he came back, which was not far away.

When they arrived at the Luo residence, the aunt and niece, who had not seen each other for twenty years, both had tears in their eyes as soon as they saw each other.

"aunt!"

"Ah Yan!"

Then he burst into tears, which moved others.

After crying enough, she fetched some water and washed her face carefully, then she was finally able to sit down and talk properly.

Old Madam Luo first introduced her daughter to Lu, the wife of the Prince of Weiyuan, who was only 28 years old this year and had brought back a pair of children today. Old Madam Luo had asked her to come back specifically so that she could meet her cousin Lu.

Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Lu had met each other before, when Mrs. Luo went back to visit her parents. But that was twenty years ago, and Mrs. Luo couldn't remember it clearly. However, that didn't stop her from often hearing her mother talk about this cousin.

When they met this time, she naturally called each other cousin affectionately.

As the Crown Prince's wife, she often moved around the inner palace to socialize, so there was never a dull moment.

After a few words, he became close to Lu.

Shi Liu had been sitting beside her the whole time. Madam Luo San, who was also sitting beside her, wanted to talk to her, but considering that she had spent a year in Jing'an Temple and her mother-in-law had found a husband for her daughter who was far away from the capital, it was a great effort for her to keep smiling while sitting there.

Mrs. Lu didn't know what was going on. It was only when Mrs. Luo introduced Mrs. Luo San to her that she greeted her in a friendly manner.

In the evening, Luo Fu and Fan Jin came in one after another, and the dinner was served.

There was another round of greetings and greetings. Luo Fu pulled Fan Jin, also very eagerly, with an expression that said, "I'm your uncle, we're real relatives, please visit each other often in the future."

After being immersed in officialdom for so many years, it is normal that he would not do anything without benefits.

He had already sent out a notice inviting Fan Jin to come over to his house to recognize his relationship, but unfortunately Fan Jin kept making the excuse that he was busy and wanted to wait for his mother to come before coming to pay a visit, so he couldn't say much.

I'm finally here. From now on, I'll be in the capital, so it's natural for me to move around more often, right?
Let’s not talk about the Jing’an Marquis Mansion behind this cousin’s wife, let’s just talk about this cousin, he is young and promising, he was only nineteen, but he passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, and then passed the imperial examination and entered the Hanlin Academy. With the help of the Jing’an Marquis Mansion, it will not be difficult for him to rise to a high position in the future. It is said that only Hanlin can enter the cabinet, so it is hard to say what his future will be like!
Furthermore, I heard that this cousin was a classmate, fellow townsman, and good friend of Zhou Bingwen, who won the third place in the imperial examination. They had a very good relationship. And I heard that Zhou Bingwen had been noticed by the Minister of Rites, who wanted to marry his youngest daughter to him!
Tsk tsk, with this series of relationships, it’s not a bad thing to get close to this cousin!
He also didn't expect that his mother had such a cousin!
