On the day when An Ning returned to the door, Mrs. Xiao prepared a lot of things, and the carriage was pulled.

When she arrived at Xu's house, An Ning went to the inner courtyard to talk to Mrs. Xu and Xu Bao'er.

And Xiao Yuan was called to the academy to talk to Xu Pengju.

When he entered the study, Xu Pengju asked him: "Now that you have married a wife, they all say that you have started a family, and you have become a family, is it time to start a business?" ”

Xiao Yuan smiled very proudly: "I was about to tell you about this, I plan to take the imperial examination." ”

"Oh?"

Xu Pengju really didn't expect it.

The key is that Xiao Jiazu has been doing business really well until now, but if you want to take the imperial examination, there is really no such talent.

"How did you come up with the idea of taking the entrance examination?"

Xiao Yuan looked outside, thinking that he couldn't say that he was angry with people, so he said loudly: "I want to earn a wife for Ning Ning." ”

"Ambitious. ”

Xu Pengju also smiled: "It's good that you have this heart, that's it, I will find someone with you earlier, you can try it next year." ”

"Okay. ”

Xu Pengju took a book: "How are you learning? Let me ask you a few questions to see your level." ”

Just ask. ”

Xiao Yuan raised his head and chested, looking very confident.

Xu Pengju looked at him like this and said that this kid is really good at reading?

He opened the book and asked a question.

Coincidentally, An Ning has been studying with Xiao Yuan for the past two days, and An Ning's praise and coaxing really made Xiao Yuan remember a lot of things, and the question Xu Pengju asked happened to be taught by An Ning.

As soon as he asked, Xiao Yuan replied very loudly.

Xu Pengju nodded again and again: "Yes, very good." ”

Then, Xu Pengju asked a few more questions, and each of them Xiao Yuan answered very well.

After all, the level of tranquility is there.

Not to mention Xu Pengju, even those great Confucians today may not be as peaceful as Anning.

She tried so hard to teach Xiao Yuan, and Xiao Yuan's level naturally improved a lot.

Xu Pengju saw that Xiao Yuan's answers to these questions were particularly good, and the angle of analysis of the problem was also very novel, the key was that when he answered the questions, he could see that he had read a lot of books and had something in his stomach.

Xu Pengju looked at Xiao Yuan and smiled with great satisfaction: "It's really not easy to read to your level in reading, and if you end up next year, you will have to live." ”

Xiao Yuan became more confident when he heard this: "That's not it, Ning Ning also said that I read well, and she also asked me questions." ”

Such a sentence made Xu Pengju more optimistic about Xiao Yuan.

The level of tranquility Xu Pengju knows.

When He Juren was alive, he had been trying his best to teach An Ning, and when An Ning arrived at Xu's house, Xu Pengju did not relax, he had been teaching An Ning, and at the level of An Ning, Xu Pengju did not dare to guarantee it, but it was still easy to take a show.

Even An Ning said that Xiao Yuan had a high level, and he had to ask him questions, which showed that Xiao Yuan should be able to win.

Thinking so, Xu Pengju was very happy: "Go back and tell your father, let him have time to come to me, find someone for you as soon as possible, and we will try to take the exam next year before coming back." ”

"That's a good idea. ”

Xiao Yuan agreed with a smile: "I'll tell my father when I turn around." ”

An Ning entered the backyard, Mrs. Xu pulled her to talk, seeing An Ning's ruddy face and joy on her face, she knew that An Ning must have lived well in the Xiao family.

"Is your mother-in-law treating you well?"

Although she guessed in her heart, Mrs. Xu still had to ask.

An Ning smiled: "My mother-in-law was good to me, and she didn't let me stand up for the rules on the first day, she said that the Xiao family doesn't rub their daughter-in-law, Xiao Yuan is good to me, and the subordinates in the family are also well-behaved." ”

Mrs. Xu nodded: "This is good, this is good, then you have to be good in the future, remember to be filial to your mother-in-law, and Xiao Yuan's temperament is soft and not hard, you remember not to be hard with him, everything will go according to him." ”

An Ning smiled and said yes.

After that, Xu Baoer pulled her and talked for a while.

It wasn't until after lunch that An Ning and Xiao Yuan said goodbye and left.

After waiting for the carriage, Xiao Yuan said to An Ning: "Our family doesn't have so many rules, if you want to be the sister of the Xu family in the future, you can come back and have a look." ”

"Hmm. ”

An Ning leaned on Xiao Yuan and answered softly.

Xiao Yuan put his arm around An Ning and said with a smile: "Uncle Xu said that I will participate in the scientific examination next year, and he said that I will definitely be able to take the test at this level." ”

An Ning was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, isn't Xu Pengju blind?

She thought again, maybe Xu Pengju was comforting Xiao Yuan, so she said so.

"How does Uncle know what level you are?"

Xiao Yuan smiled: "He asked me a few questions, and I answered them very well, and my uncle said that I was of a high level, and I told him that even you have to ask me questions, and my uncle was very pleased to hear it, saying that I can read, and also said that I should talk to my father and find someone to protect me as soon as possible." ”

The black line at the end of the tranquility, how did you say this, how could it be so coincidental?

In short, Xiao Yuan was quite happy.

When he got home, he told Master Xiao about it.

Master Xiao really can't read, he is an expert in business, but as soon as he reads, he has a headache, and he doesn't read anymore when he almost knows the words.

He didn't know what to do, anyway, as soon as Xiao Yuan said that Xu Pengju said that he would succeed, Master Xiao thought that Xiao Yuan must be able to do it.

He patted Xiao Yuan's shoulder with great relief: "Since your uncle of the Xu family said it, then your father will give you all the protection, I really didn't expect it, our Xiao family also has a scholar, this is really the ancestral tomb is smoking." ”

Xiao Yuanxiao's mouth couldn't close: "Dad, although I am successful in reading and my level is high, we can't slack off, I, I have to study behind closed doors in the future, and Ning Ning will accompany me to read, I can read very well, don't let Ning Ning do things in the future, just let her accompany me to study, and when I am admitted to the Jinshi, can I let Ning Ning be a housekeeper?"

As long as Xiao Yuan can read, Master Xiao will be thankful, and he will naturally not object to letting An Ning accompany Xiao Yuan to read together.

"Okay, I'll tell your mother when I go back, your mother said before that she wanted your daughter-in-law to be the housekeeper, and now you have to make your mother work hard for a few years. ”

"I really want to work for my mother, and when my son is admitted to the Jinshi and becomes an official, I will ask my mother to be sealed. ”

Master Xiao laughed when he heard it, and his laughter was extremely hearty and happy.

When Master Xiao and Mrs. Xiao talked about this, Mrs. Xiao specially chatted with An Ning, and asked An Ning not to worry about the housekeeper, but to accompany Xiao Yuan to study.

An Ning didn't want to be a housekeeper early, she still wanted to be idle for two years, so she naturally agreed to be busy.

Mrs. Xiao later talked about this with Master Xiao, and couldn't help but sigh that An Ning had a good character, and said that An Ning had a soft temperament and would take more care of her in the future.

Since then, An Ning and Xiao Yuan really began to stay in seclusion and study.

An Ning stuffed knowledge into Xiao Yuan's mind little by little, and by the time of the Chinese New Year, Xiao Yuan's whole person was reborn.
