The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 95: Daddy’s Promise to Get Marriage (1)
Because of this sesame oil shop, the Zhou family and the Gu family became close again.Sure enough, businessmen value profits. Driven by profits, what is the little lump before?
However, Qian Pengyang is still very rational.Although the rapeseed oil is good, he still ordered to restrict the use of fertile land for planting, but advocated the people of the whole county to open up wasteland and slope land to grow brassica.After all, food is the foundation, and before the court's decree comes down, he has to be cautious in doing things.

Zhao Shihua was going to Jiangyang, the state capital, to take the township examination in August. Although it wasn't too far away, he followed Qian Pengyang's suggestion and set off with Qian Rui one month in advance, and rented a small yard to live in Jiangyang.The two paid a visit to Master Lin Xuezheng, and then calmed down to study carefully for a period of time, waiting for the exam.

As the exam was approaching, many scholars came to Jiangyang, and the two of them occasionally went out to participate in one or two literary meetings. Everyone could discuss with each other, which was beneficial to improving knowledge.

Zhao Shihua sent a letter back early, inviting his brother-in-law to go to Jiangyang with him, but Wei Qingyuan thought his wife was about to give birth, so he rejected Zhao Shihua, saying that he would rush to Jiangyang to take the exam after Zhao Yunxing gave birth to a child.

Zhao Shihua sighed secretly, but he couldn't blame him either.After all, if such a thing changed him, he probably wouldn't feel at ease leaving his wife who was about to give birth to take the exam.After thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel very relieved. No matter what, Wei Qingyuan was a good husband and father, and he didn't choose the wrong husband for his sister.

At the end of July, Zhao Shifu personally delivered a letter to the county. On July [-], He gave birth to a son, named Anping.Her husband went to Jiangyang to take the exam, and Gu Wanniang took care of the three children alone at home, and she couldn't go back to her hometown to congratulate her third uncle and younger siblings, so she planned to prepare a generous gift for Zhao Shifu to take back.But then she thought that her sister-in-law Zhao Yunxing was about to give birth, and her sister-in-law Wang Shi was also pregnant, so she bought gifts and rented a carriage to send Zhao Shifu back.

On the first day of August, Zhao Yunxing finally gave birth to a healthy daughter amidst the great expectations of her parents-in-law.Seeing that the mother and daughter were safe, Wei Qingyuan felt relieved and named the child Xiuya.

Seeing that she had given birth to a daughter, Zhao Yunxing was very disappointed. She knew that both her father-in-law and her mother-in-law wanted a son.The Wei family has a single lineage, and the husband is not too young, so if you marry her, you will have a son?
Wei's mother felt a little disappointed when she saw that the child was a granddaughter, but she was a woman and knew that giving birth was not easy, not to mention that it was not up to women to decide whether to have a boy or a girl, so she didn't say anything, but comforted Zhao Yunxing.

Compared with the loss of his mother and Zhao Yunxing, Wei Qingyuan was not unhappy in the slightest. Instead, he repeatedly comforted his worried wife, saying that he always wanted a daughter like Sister Ran.Zhao Yunxing saw that his exam was approaching, so she didn't go to study. She came over to hug and coax the child as soon as she woke up, and kept praising the child. He looks like her, and he must be beautiful when he grows up. The knot of giving birth to a daughter.

In the early morning of the third day of August, Wei Qingyuan set off for Jiangyang, the state capital.

It will take four or five days to rush from Ping'an Town to Jiangyang.Wei Qingyuan had already rented a carriage, and finally arrived in Jiangyang on the evening of the seventh day of August.

It's a pity that he arrived too late, and all the inns were full of people, so he had to find a small inn to stay temporarily before he could have a full meal.

On the second day, Wei Qingyuan rested in the inn to study and did not go out. On the third day, he arrived at the first test of the township examination.Afraid of being late, he arrived earlier, and finally saw Zhao Shihua and Qian Rui outside the venue.

Seeing Wei Qingyuan arrived, Zhao Shihua was relieved when he knew that his sister had given birth to a daughter safely, but he couldn't help but comfort him and said: "You are still young, don't worry, usually it blooms first and then bears fruit. A girl can take care of my younger brother in the future."

Wei Qingyuan smiled and said: "Second brother, don't worry. My daughter is also my flesh and blood, and I love her just as much in my heart. In fact, I really want a daughter who is as cute and cute as Ran's sister. By the way, second brother, then How did you raise my sister? Why are you so smart and cute? Tell me well."

Speaking of his daughter, Zhao Shihua couldn't help but smile all over his face, and the nervousness from before dissipated unknowingly.When Qian Rui heard Zhao Shihua mentioning An Ran, he couldn't help listening attentively, smiling a little from time to time.

After a while, a bell rang at the gate of the Gongyuan, indicating that it was time to enter.

Then, scholars from all over the country lined up according to different counties, and were inspected one by one to enter the Gongyuan.Zhao Shihua, Wei Qingyuan and the three also stopped talking, and hurriedly queued up with their test baskets...

After the first exam, Zhao Shihua asked Wei Qingyuan to move into their rented yard.All three of them silently wrote out a copy of their examination papers, and it was only then that Zhao Shihua discovered that Wei Qingyuan hadn't used the new writing format.

"Qingyuan, didn't you send a letter telling you to learn punctuation marks and write horizontally from left to right in the future? Didn't you receive the letter?" Zhao Shihua was anxious, although this time the test didn't say that you must use punctuation marks and A new way of writing, but since the imperial decree mentions advocacy, it has already expressed its attitude.Those who support the new policy of the imperial court and are willing to accept the new writing method will definitely be more liked by Xuezheng adults. Does it need to be said?
Wei Qingyuan didn't take it seriously and said: "Writing is just the icing on the cake, the key is to read the article!"

"You...ah!" Zhao Shihua sighed, and asked again, "Have you learned the punctuation marks?"

Wei Qingyuan nodded and said: "I have read it, but the writing is not very good-looking, so I didn't practice it. Didn't it say that it will be used after the national examination next year? There will be time to practice after the local examination is over."

Zhao Shihua looked at him, speechless.

Qian Rui also looked at Wei Qingyuan and sighed secretly.

In the next two rounds, all three felt that they did well in the exam.But after everyone finished their test papers and took a look, they found that Zhao Shihua's papers were different, especially how to deal with the governance and relief after the flood. He wrote quite well.Not knowing is worse than not knowing. In comparison, both Qian Rui and Wei Qingyuan found that the governance points they explained were far less practical than Zhao Shihua's.

Wei Qingyuan's writings are all based on what he read from the book, and they all have their sources, but compared with Zhao Shihua's, they are suspected of talking on paper.Seeing that even Qian Rui, who was only 19 years old, answered better than himself, he became a little worried.
