When the new convoy arrived in Hepu Town, it did not directly enter the house to worship the hall and enter the cave room, but first arranged to live in the inn temporarily.

Seeing that the Bao family who came to marry did not know their intentions, Chen Maodong explained to them on behalf of the two families: "We get married more every year, and we can only rush back for the New Year." Therefore, the owner asked us to simply hold a group wedding on one day, which was lively and trouble-free. This year, because it will be just me and Zhengke, I will set the date on the eighth day of February. You will stay here today and tomorrow, and after the wedding the day after tomorrow, you will be able to live in our house. In the past two days, I have wronged the two sisters-in-law! ”

It seems that it is possible for sisters-in-law to marry everywhere, and the Bao family followed over to be Bao Zhengrong's daughter-in-law and Bao Zhengqiang's daughter-in-law. Both of them had been here once, and they were no strangers to the town, and they knew that many things in this town were out of their knowledge. Therefore, they will not make a fuss about whatever the sister-in-law says, but just accept it naturally.

Sister Cai has lived there with Bao Zhengrong for a year, and often greets her two sisters-in-law, who are more familiar with Wang Nengxi. She didn't rely on this brother-in-law to answer, so she took the initiative to answer: "Then you should hurry up!" We're so good here, what's there to be wronged about. However, if we are idle, it will be okay to go out for a walk, right? ”

"Of course it's fine! I'll get a sister over in a moment and ask her to accompany you for two days and take you around. That's right! Sister-in-law, there are other relatives of the bride here, you should watch the children a little, try not to conflict with other people's children, otherwise everyone will not get along well in the future. ”

Cai Damei and Wang Nengxi were taken aback, it turned out that they were not the only ones living here!

"Sister-in-law, rest assured! We'll keep an eye on them all the time. Don't let them get into trouble. ”

"Hey! Then there are two sisters-in-law of Lao! ”

At this time, the second girl in the capital was also thinking about the group wedding at home.

"Their wedding was supposed to be a good wedding, but neither of us was at home, but I was afraid that they would feel uncomfortable." Er Ya thought of the disappointment of those children. This is very uncomfortable. If it weren't for Xiao Wenfan, she would probably ride a horse and run back alone for a special trip to officiate for their marriage.

Xiaohu saw that his daughter-in-law was really uncomfortable, so he comforted: "No one wants such a thing to happen, right?" They know that I was forced to stay in the capital because I was injured, and they must be able to understand it. ”

"At present, we can only break our promise! When we get back, they should all go back to their posts. ”

"It shouldn't have been so soon, didn't you say it at the beginning, give them half a year off?!"

They are all stewards big and small, and it is impossible for them to stay at home for half a year. Even if the owner is relieved. They themselves are not at ease.

"Hey! Forget it, don't be upset if it's already like this. I don't know if it's because I'm older, I miss when I was younger. There is no such mother-in-law's chatter. ”

Xiaohu smiled: "You are not old now!" ”

"Not old? When Wen Chao becomes a parent, I will be my mother-in-law. Ay! I don't know if he has any hope of passing the exam this time, I'm afraid that he won't be able to get married if he gets admitted to the Chen family! Erya remembered that her favorite granddaughter of the shopkeeper Chen might become someone else's daughter-in-law. I panicked in distress.

Xiaohu has never understood the mind of the shopkeeper Chen. couldn't help but complain to his daughter-in-law again: "What do you mean by shopkeeper Chen?" Why can't my granddaughter marry Wen Chao if he passes the Jinshi exam? Why did he come against people, I can't figure out what he is hiding. ”

Erya also shook her head in confusion, and she really couldn't think of the mind of Shopkeeper Chen. In fact, the shopkeeper Chen has no hidden feelings and special thoughts, his idea is very simple, originally he was good friends with the Wang family, just so that future generations can get the help of the Wang family and keep the Chen family's foundation.

If the relationship between the two families becomes in-laws. There is no boundary between what can be helped or not, but it will make future generations think that it is natural for the Wang family to help them. will even ask for something that should not be asked. If Wen Chao is just a lifter, then he will be limited in what he can help the Chen family, and the two families may stumble but there will be no major contradictions. If Wen Chao gets Zhongjinshi, it is possible to be an official. As an official, the power will be greater, and the help that the Chen family wants will also increase, and the extravagance will also increase. If Wen Chao can abide by his principle of being an official and ignore some unreasonable requests of the Chen family, he will inevitably offend the Chen family, and the two families may become enemies in the end. If Wen Chao can't keep the principle of being an official and responds to more and more requests from the Chen family, then in the future, the Chen and Wang families will not be able to die well. So how can this pro get married?

Xiaohu and his wife couldn't think of this, one was that they grew up in a peasant family and had never seen those unlucky people who were affected by their in-laws. One is that I have only seen and heard about it in TV series and novels, but I have never been substituted into my own life. Therefore, the two didn't think about anything else, only thinking that if Shopkeeper Chen really objected, then they could only give their son another look.

"When you go to Qin's house to pay New Year's greetings in the first month, do you see a suitable girl for Wenchao in the backyard?"

Erya shook her head: "They used to be too cold to their two younger siblings, but now they are too enthusiastic for their younger siblings." In the area of the daughter-in-law, in fact, their intuition is better than mine, I think everyone is better, and they can tell a lot of faults with just one eye. I've taken them too! ”

"What about the Zhao family? Didn't his family have a heart to marry before? ”

"Hey!" Speaking of this Erya, I want to sigh, because my son is emotionally late, a granddaughter of the owner of Chunlintang before, and the granddaughter of the shopkeeper Zhao, they all like Wen Chao very much, but Wen Chao is stupid and doesn't understand anything. The girl from the proprietor's family has a big business, and she has been raised since she was a child, but she is not the kind of stubborn character, seeing that Wen Chao has no heart to respond, she immediately turned her head and found a child of an official family in the capital. The granddaughter of the shopkeeper Zhao couldn't wait because she was old, so she also found another family to marry.

"After all, the Zhao family is a family in the capital, and that girl was able to watch Wen Chao at the beginning, also because her mother said that our Wang family is not allowed to take concubines. Who else but her would like to marry into a country house, and the little sisters are afraid that they will be laughed at when they talk together. The little girl has no life experience, the most important thing is to look at face, as for the inside, they haven't thought of it yet. Besides, I don't really want to find a daughter-in-law for Wen Chao in the capital, I always feel that the little girl is so far away from her mother's house, poor panic! ”

Whenever Erya thinks that Ah Jing married in Lanzhou, she has never returned to her parents' house once, Wen Zhong is several years old, and she has never walked to her grandmother's house, so she feels that this is too sadistic.

Xiaohu was a little impatient to talk about these mothers-in-law, so he changed the topic and said: "Anyway, there are not many days before the exam, let's talk about it after he has passed the exam!" The most important thing now is to lift those who are sick, and find a way to get them better as soon as possible and take the exam. ”

Those sick lifters are actually the candidates who rushed to take the exam when Erya came. Maybe they were overly anxious and in poor health, and when the Wang family's convoy came to pick them up, they were excited and excited, and then they began to get sick one after another.

According to Erya's guess, in fact, it was because of the cold and warmth of spring, as well as the sudden cold of winter in the capital, that these southerners, who were already in poor health, could not bear it, and they caused a series of illnesses. Originally, their illness had nothing to do with Erya, but the person was brought to the capital by their Wang family, and there was really no way to put it aside, and she also had a little heavy heart.

When they arrived in the capital, they were sent to Chunlin Hall for treatment, it has been more than ten days, and none of them have recovered, if it is not good, I am afraid that this scientific expedition will really be delayed.

Fortunately, the lives of these people are not too bad, and when Erya and Xiaohu were worried, they gradually got better.

After they recovered, they began to communicate with everyone in the place where the candidates gathered, learning from experience, and then it didn't take long for Erya and Xiaohu to hear that there was something wrong with the candidates' exchanges.

Wen Chao and Qingzhu didn't go to any exchange meetings, and the things at the exchange meeting were also told to them by those who went, and what they relayed to Erya Xiaohu at this time was not very clear. However, Erya listened to it and probably added her own brain to make up for it, and she knew what was going on.

This situation is that the candidates in Jiangnan have a conflict with the candidates in their Luzhou and several surrounding state capitals. The reason is very simple, in the past, Jiangnan candidates controlled the mainstream of each session of the general examination and the palace examination, and other candidates sat together. Although the candidates in Jiangnan did not fall to the point of sitting together, they went to find the candidates from Luzhou to speak, and nine out of ten had special inquiries about the candidates in Hepu Town, and they wanted to make friends. This kind of treatment was the privilege of Jiangnan candidates in previous years, but now it has been transferred to other places, and this gap makes Jiangnan candidates unacceptable. They couldn't find a contest of candidates from Hepu Town, so they staged a rather spectacular competition for the candidates from Luzhou, and even the sacrificial wine of the Guozijian was shocked.

Erya was secretly glad that all the candidates who came from her house were arranged to live in the future community (also called Zhuangyuanju), and they were usually not allowed to go out to socialize with those who couldn't see their character clearly. only let them study and exercise in the community, and Zhang Haoyu, Zhao Qingchun, and several other former scholars who stayed in the capital took turns to come over to give them pre-exam training, and they had no chance to learn about those things outside. Otherwise, like them, who focus on practicality, those gorgeous poems, calligraphy and paintings are really not the opponents of Jiangnan talents, and they will be hit hard.

In the end of this matter, of course, Luzhou is slightly inferior, but unfortunately the Jiangnan candidates can't see clearly, no matter how good they are in those side doors, what's the use of getting that false name? Only if the examination and the palace examination are good, and the title of the gold list is the real meaning of coming to the capital this time. (To be continued.) )
