116. Chapter 116
Wu Yuanwai sighed: "What the little girl did was indeed wrong, and it is only natural for Yuan Sheng to feel uncomfortable. I just hope that in time, Yuan Sheng can get over this hurdle mentally and accept the little girl."

Zheng Zongde considered how to persuade Zheng Yuansheng, absent-mindedly perfunctory: "Yes, definitely."

Seeing his unnatural expression, Wu Yuanwai probed: "Yuan Sheng is now a Juren, and he is eligible to take the Chunwei exam next year. His future is bright and his vision is high. Is there a lady he has his eyes on?"

Wu Jingshu squeezed her hands tightly.He knew that Zheng Yuansheng liked Tian Erya.But so what?After Zheng Yuansheng passed the examination, she believed that Zheng Yuansheng was a good match. Once he passed the Jinshi examination and entered the court as an official, then she would be the wife of an official.She would not give up such a good husband to others.

Zheng Zongde came back to his senses and waved his hand: "No. During this time, Yuan Sheng's thoughts are all on books. Besides, which daughter can compare with Jing Shu's beauty and versatility? Don't worry too much, this young couple Sooner or later, we will reconcile and become a family, and we will hold our grandchildren."

Wu Yuanwai looked at his daughter, and also felt that his daughter's beautiful appearance was beyond comparison with ordinary families.He felt a little relieved: "Brother, once you say that, I feel relieved. Yuan Sheng's high school, you and my two families are very happy. I plan to hold a big banquet to entertain guests..."

"How can I make you spend money? I have already prepared everything. There will be a family banquet tonight, and you and your wife must come to attend. Tomorrow, Shengsheng will go to the provincial capital to attend the Luming Banquet hosted by the magistrate. After he comes back, I Set up more than a dozen tables, and invite family members, relatives and friends to accompany you."

"It's also too small to make a scene. If we want to set it up, we will set up dozens of tables..."

Zheng Zongde patted his hand: "Mother-in-law, it's not that I don't want to treat more guests. It's just that Yuan Sheng has just passed the exam, and when he is admitted to the top three Jinshi and named on the gold list, we will have a big banquet and let the good news spread among the neighbors." middle."

"Okay! Okay!" Wu Yuanwai nodded repeatedly, "Just do as you said. Let's wait for Yuansheng to pass the Jinshi exam, and then we can do it well. But as the old father-in-law, I also brought a congratulatory gift to Yuansheng."

"Oh?"

Member Wu waved his hand, and the servants behind him removed the red cloth from the gift, revealing the half-foot-tall jade boat.Sailing on it, engraved with the four characters "Smooth sailing".The whole boat is carved out of jade, with rich colors and clear lines. At first glance, you can tell that it is expensive.

Zheng Zongde was amazed again and again: "It's such a beautiful jade! It's as green as the water. The meaning is also good. I hope that Yuansheng can ride the wind and waves like this boat and have smooth sailing. My father-in-law, you are really generous and have a heart."

"Yuan Sheng is my son-in-law, half of me. When he is a Jinshi in high school, I will give him a big gift."

Zheng Zongdele squinted his eyes, this in-law was well found and could help their Zheng family.

Zheng Yuansheng was locked in the study and worried secretly.He especially wanted to share the good news of his high school promotion with Tian Erya.It's a pity that he was locked in the house and couldn't get out.He was depressed, and he refused to eat the food delivered by his servants.In the evening, Xia Tian notified him to attend the family banquet arranged for him to celebrate his success. He also wanted to refuse after thinking about it, and asked, "Xia Xia, is my sister here?"

"You mean Miss Jiaqi? She, my uncle, and my uncle's parents are all here. Young master, upon hearing the news of your high school promotion, they will definitely come to congratulate you, and expect you to take care of them in the future!"

"Talking! Go outside and buy more cherry cakes and lotus cakes, and let Jiaqi take you back. I'll be there in a while."

"Yes, young master." Xia Tian bounced away.

Zheng Yuansheng put on his boots and landed, walked to the desk, and quickly wrote a letter and put it in his sleeve.

Even for a family banquet, the Zheng family set up six tables.

Zheng Songde was beaming.The Second Aunt was dressed beautifully, her face was full of pride and joy, and she walked through the banquet like a lady in the house.

Mrs. Zheng sipped her tea with her eyes lowered, pretending she didn't see it.Today is my aunt's own son's high school exam, so it's her time to be proud, there's no need to steal the limelight.

The daughter-in-law of the third eldest, Zheng Yuanfei, poked at Zheng Yuanli's daughter-in-law: "Second sister-in-law, second aunt is proud tonight, and she doesn't like talking to Madam."

Zheng Yuanli's daughter-in-law glanced at him: "You made my son promising!"

"It's the one who wins the exam. If the fourth son comes back with the first prize, her tail will still be up to the sky."

"The fourth son said that he is not the only one who can win the number one prize, and our whole family's tail can rise to the sky. Don't be jealous if I say the third daughter-in-law. If the fourth son is promising, it will be good for our whole family."

Zheng Yuanfei's daughter-in-law pouted: "Of course I know. All the clan members here are also aware of it! You see, Jiaqi's husband, Chen Shizu, and Jiaqi's parents-in-law specially sent gifts to congratulate them. After the father-in-law failed to borrow money, Chen Shizu never came to our house again. I thought the two families would break up the relationship. I didn't expect that if he passed the original examination, he would take the initiative to come to please him. Throw it all aside."

"This proves that people have vision and are optimistic about the fourth child. It is also the fourth child who can read. If only our family is like him!"

Their sisters-in-law muttered there, with a sour taste.When Zheng Yuansheng came over to toast, he immediately changed his smile and began to say compliments.

Zheng Yuansheng laughed along with Yu Guang's younger sister, Jiaqi, who nodded secretly to him.When the banquet was about to end, I left the banquet on the pretext of going back to take care of the children and my in-laws.

Zheng Zongde and Wu Yuan were excited to drink outside, and they just said a few words when they left, and asked the eldest son Yuan Xin to send them outside the door.

Chen Shizu saw that Zheng Songde was affectionate to Wu's relatives, you knew that the old man wanted to cling to the wealth and power of the Wu family, and he disliked the old man's snobbish eyes, so he quickly jumped into the carriage.

Chen's father, Chen's mother and Jiaqi followed closely behind.

After the carriage drove for a while, Chen Shizu suddenly asked: "Jiaqi, just now your brother stuffed you a letter and whispered something in your ear? Who was the letter for? Why did your face suddenly change? "

Jiaqi couldn't help but look at her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and said in a low voice: "My brother asked me to tell Tian Erya that he passed the exam. After he persuades my father, he will go to her house to give a dowry, so she can wait at ease. "

Chen Shizu was stunned: "Really?"

Chen's father and Chen's mother were also very surprised. They knew that Tian Erya had left the Zheng family after Miss Wu came back, and thought that Tian Erya and Zheng Yuansheng had no relationship.

"Yeah." Jiaqi was troubled: "My father likes Miss Wu's family very much, but my brother insists on marrying Tian Erya. I don't know what to do."

Chen Shizu sneered: "Your father doesn't like Ms. Wu, he likes Ms. Wu's rich father and her brother with a promising future in the military. If you want me to say, your brother has the backbone. A person like Ms. Wu is considered a fairy. I don't want either."
