Qin Youzhen decided to take her eldest son to Changlu, leaving her youngest son Lu Chuliang to study in Beijing.

She has always had a knot in her eldest son's marriage, and she could only take her eldest son away first for fear that her aunt Xu would be stubborn and make a request that would make it difficult for her to refuse. However, if she takes both sons away, she is afraid that it will make Xu even more angry. Now Xu is sick and has vomited two mouthfuls of blood, one of which is likely to be caused by her. She felt guilty in her heart, how could she dare to be angry with the Xu family again? Leaving a Lu Chuliang was to appease the Xu family, so that the Xu family would not have the idea that her niece had completely abandoned her past kindness.

However, in front of Xu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Qin Youzhen still made up an excuse that sounded very reliable for her approach: "Chu Ming has studied hard for all these years, and finally passed the exam." His father was as happy as anything, and he was afraid that when he was young and famous, he would be proud of himself, and would not humble himself to learn, but to calm down and study, so he urged me to take him over to listen to the teachings. I thought that Chu Ming had even been to the clan, and I wanted his father to see him, and show off in front of his colleagues and subordinates, so that people could say a few more good words, saying that he was a tiger father and no dog!"

The Yao family and the Min family could only laugh a few times, and the Xu family barely squeezed out a smile, believe it or not, but she couldn't find Qin Youzhen's fault. If a person's precious son has passed the examination and wants to meet his biological father, who would dare to stop him? If he leaves a person in Beijing to study like this, will he stop his father and son from seeing each other for several years? Changlu is not far from the capital, and if he needs to, it will be the same if he returns to Beijing to study in the future. Besides, Qin Youzhen went to reunite with her husband, she was a woman, and she also needed her eldest son to accompany her to escort her, so there was no reason for her to go on the road alone.

Therefore, Xu could only smile and say, "It's time for Chu Ming to meet Aunt Lu, and I will give you a ride." After their father and son are reunited, they should go back to the capital to study. Brother Jian is also going to take the exam next spring, and the two of them happen to be companions. ”

Qin Youzhen said with a smile: "Brother Jian is also a young man, and he will be able to enter high school next year." Uncle's blessing is still to come!" but refused to promise it explicitly. Anyway, when their mother and son arrived in Changlu, they said that Lu Pu was reluctant to let his son come back, who could pick on him?

She was afraid that Xu Shi had something else to say, so she hurriedly changed the topic: "Speaking of which, I still want to thank Brother Jian." Our family has been naughty since childhood. He is also smart, but he refuses to calm down and study, he is almost fourteen years old, and he is still like a child, and he can't grow up. I took his brother to Jinan, and I was worried that he would go crazy when he was alone at home, but fortunately, my aunt took care of him for me, not only moved him back to the house to live, but also asked Brother Jian to guide him in his homework. In the past month or so, he has been much more stable than before, and I heard that Brother Jian also took him around to introduce him to the talented scholars in Beijing. He has seen the world, knows the people in the world, and now he is less impetuous. If it weren't for Brother Jian's willingness to teach him, he would still be messing around all day long!"

Xu's expression softened: "Chu Liang is a smart child, he used to be young and ignorant. Leave him with me, and I will take care of it for you. ”

Qin Youzhen thought to herself, at Lu Chuming's age, the Xu family had nothing to calculate, so she should coax her aunt to be happy, so she smiled and said, "Then everything will be left to your aunt." He doesn't take my words seriously, but I'm afraid that he can still listen to your old man's teachings. ”

No matter what Xu and Qin Youzhen thought in their hearts, in the next few days, the two seemed to have returned to their former state of being as close as mother and daughter. Xu was very concerned about the life of his niece's family, and asked her to visit the eldest daughter who was married, and promised to take care of Lu Yueniang in Beijing. Qin Youzhen went to Xu's bedside every day to accompany her, specially coaxed her with good words, made her favorite dishes at home, and personally sent them to Songfeng Hall to pay respects. The two were in harmony, as if there was no contradiction.

A few days later, Qin Youzhen reluctantly took her eldest son away, Lu Chuliang said goodbye to his mother and brother pitifully, and after returning to Fuguiju, he instructed the waiting girl next to him with a depressed face: "Move the things I moved home again, the original packaging has been taken out and put back in its original position, let's not move." ”

The girl said: "The two families are next door, the second young master moved back to his house, and he came to study every day, and it was the same." Where is it convenient to live in a relative's house?"

Lu Chuliang pouted: "Mother asked me to listen to my grandfather's grandmother." My grandmother told me to stay in the house, can I disobey it? Hurry up, save people from picking out mistakes, and you will be the ones who suffer!"

The girls had no choice but to comply, and Lu Chuliang couldn't help but sigh. He also thought that he could get rid of the days of reading every day, even if he left the capital and left the new friends he had recognized for most of the year, he didn't care, he just wanted to return to the free and easy days before, but he didn't expect it to be a bubble now. His mother was bent on disciplining him, fearing that he would only care about having fun and not studying, so she cruelly left him in the Cheng'en Mansion!

He didn't know that Xu was also instructing his two daughters-in-law, Yao and Min: "Haosheng takes care of Chuliang's diet and daily life, and reads, although he can let Brother Jian guide him, but it can't take up too much time for Brother Jian, and he will take the entrance examination next spring." Let Su Ge'er accompany him, whether it is to study or have fun, as long as he is detained and not let him go to those indiscreet places, and do not let him get acquainted with some gentlemen. Chuliang's parents are not around, so we have to put a little more effort into taking care of the child and not let him make mistakes. ”

In Yao's heart, he couldn't wait to let his son spend time entertaining Lu Chuliang at all, but Qin Jian and his cousin already had a good relationship, where could they stop him? Not to mention that the Lu family is not as good as before, how can Lu Chuliang also be the son-in-law of a third-grade salt official, and it will always be beneficial to make more friends. This benefit was not big, and Yao didn't care much about it in her heart, but if this benefit was cheaper, she would not be happy, so she said: "Why don't you let Chu Liang go to the third uncle's side? What does Qin Su know? Don't tell him to take the first light with him, he only deals with those concubines or children from small families all day long, and he is becoming more and more stingy. ”

Xu glanced at Yao helplessly, knowing her knot in his heart, so he said, "Your third uncle may not be willing to accept a primary school student." Brother Xun in the second room has gone to Xifu to ask for advice a few times, but your third uncle has not let go and said that he will teach him homework, and Qin Su is not very smart, how can there be an exception?"

Yao Shi hurriedly said: "How is Chu Liang the same as Brother Xun? Chu Liang is not a grandson, he is older, his homework is better, and he is even smarter." The third uncle likes clever children the most, whether it's good or not, let Chu Liang try it. The daughter-in-law looked at the early dawn of the past and went to Xifu, and she got along well with the third uncle and three aunts. ”

Xu is in no mood to quarrel with his daughter-in-law now, so he has to let her go. Anyway, what the outcome of the matter is, it is not up to their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to decide. This year, she just wants to take good care of Lu Chuliang, and it is best to let him make a little progress in his studies, which is enough. This year, she couldn't talk to the children of the Xu family, and she didn't want to put too much effort into it. Even if it costs, I'm afraid it's thankless.

Yao didn't know that the Xu family had lost most of his spirit and was in a state of pity, she thought that she had finally won the fight against her mother-in-law, so she happily arranged for Lu Chuliang to go to Xifu to ask for homework.

Lu Chuliang now loves and hates even Qin Jian, and he is even more afraid of Qin Bai, and he is reluctant in his heart, but he can't disobey, so he reluctantly came to Yongjiahou Mansion. Qin Bai actually likes his cleverness, but he also knows that he is still a young man, and he can't calm down, so he doesn't control him very much, and only arranges some miscellaneous books for him to read, so that he can know some things in the world, and he is just familiar with the world. Lu Chuliang went to Xifu a few times, and found that Qin Bai's teaching was much easier and more interesting than his self-study in Chengenhou Mansion or asking Qin Jian for homework, so he suddenly changed his previous thoughts and became positive.

Lu Chuliang is in the Yongjiahou Mansion, and he often hangs out in Qin Bai's outer study, so naturally he will often see Zhao Mo. When Zhao Mo saw this future cousin-in-law, he was overjoyed, so he often pulled him to ask Qin Bai questions. It's just that for some reason, every time Qin Bai teaches Lu Chuliang at length, but Zhao Mo himself always has one reason or another to talk to Qin Hanzhen. When Qin Bai realized something, he could only laugh and curse helplessly.

In the blink of an eye, the time has come to the end of September. With the approach of the Halloween Festival, the festive atmosphere in Beijing is getting stronger and stronger.

In the Yongjiahou Mansion, Xiao Feng in the West Courtyard received a letter from his hometown in Jiangnan. Her younger brother participated in this year's autumn festival and also won the lift, but the ranking was relatively low, almost the last. But even if the grades are poor, the fame is real. Feng Yuting felt that his knowledge was insufficient, and he did not plan to participate in the next year's exam, and planned to study for a few years behind closed doors. However, when the people in the clan saw that he had been lifted, they came to the door every day, and there were many aunts and sisters-in-law who were eager to be matchmakers for him. He didn't want to do this for the time being, he felt a little annoyed, he wanted to go to Beijing to live with his sister and brother-in-law, and he was afraid that it would be too abrupt, so he wrote to ask if it was okay.

How could Xiao Feng say no? Since Qiu Yu, she has been thinking about this matter. Listening to Qin Jian's move in Dongfu, Tang Hanzhong, the future son-in-law of Dongfu, and Lu Chuming, the grandson of the second room, also won the move, she was anxious to know if her younger brother was also successful. Now that the good news finally came, she was overjoyed, and she was eager to take her brother to her side. Anyway, if my younger brother wants to take the exam again in the future, he will take the entrance examination in the capital, and it is just right to go to the capital to study for a few years first. Whether it is to send him to the national prison, or to let him worship a famous teacher, or even directly ask his father-in-law Qin Bai for homework, it is the best choice, it is better than his younger brother being trapped in his hometown and being disturbed by the clansmen all day long. Even if you want to say kiss, how can the girl who speaks in the capital be more reliable than the introduction of the relatives of the clansmen, right?

Xiao Feng hugged his son and took his daughter Qin Hanzhu to ask her in-laws for peace and mentioned this matter. Qin Bai and the Niu clan both agreed. When Xiao Feng went to Datong to marry Qin An, Feng Yuting gave them all the way to marry and got along with them for a long time. Now they are very happy to take him to Beijing again. Qin Bai was much more willing to accept Feng Yuting as half a student than to instruct Lu Chuliang and Qin Xun.

A few days later, Wang Fuzhong also sent his family to deliver the letter, but it was Wang Fulin who wrote it from Mizhi County. It turned out that Wang Fulin, Yu Chengzhi and Hu Kun, who worshiped together under Qin Baimen in the past, were all in the middle of the current Keqiu Dynasty, and they went to Beijing together before the appointment, and they participated in the examination together in the next spring.

Qin Bai was really pleasantly surprised this time.
