Chapter 8 Exploring the Future

Sure enough, Mrs. Yan saw that the eldest daughter-in-law's face had become much softer now, and said with a smile: "If you go again tomorrow, you must mention that I thank the county lord." You're tired of coming today, so go back and rest. ”

This kind look, looking at Sun's angry teeth itching. Huang Yuyan was happy, but her face was not obvious, and she said: "Tired but not tired, I should have served my mother's dinner here, but the county lord told me a few things, and I want to do it." ”

Mrs. Yan hurriedly asked: "What the county lord explained, then you don't need to be here, hurry up and do it." I'll just have your brother and sister here. You don't have to settle the province in the morning and dusk these days, and it's important that you go to talk to the county lord. ”

Huang Yuyan was very happy in her heart, and she couldn't suppress her happy tone and agreed to Mrs. Yan, and then returned to her courtyard under Sun's jealous gaze.

After returning to his yard, he first sent a post to the Lan family and the Cao family, and it was also noted on the post that he was invited by the county lord Wen Hui to go to the inn to meet Wen Hui. At the same time, Chen Wenhui's county lord's name card is also attached.

After doing this, Huang Yuyan sent her confidant Mama to personally bring the post, as well as the two baskets of lucky oranges given to her by Chen Wenhui, divided one of the baskets into two parts, wrapped it, and asked Mama to send it to the Lan family and the Cao family.

After it was done, Huang Yuyan began to look at Chen Wenhui's gift to her son. It's simple. The gift for her was the same as her mother-in-law's. It's just that the tea leaves have been replaced with the kind of delicious fruit tea that Chen Wenhui gave her to drink. The silk is not made on the top, but the color is fresh, it is a new brocade produced in the South Seas, and it may not have the face of the top made. But the texture is actually better. There are only two things for my son, one is a set of red gold children's jewelry, including gold collars, gold locks, gold bracelets, and gold anklets, which are full of weight and beautiful styles. There is also a jasper wash, which looks crystal clear and beautiful. It's actually a lotus leaf-shaped. It's a rare treasure.

Huang Yuyan stuck out her tongue and said secretly: "It's really extravagant." ”

Just as she was about to ask the maid to put it away, her husband Yan Boxuan came in.

Huang Yuyan hurriedly stood up to greet her, and waited for her husband to change the clothes he wore when he went out. I also wore a homely regular dress. Yan Boxuan's sharp eyes saw something at once. Asked: "These can't be given to you by the county lord, right?" So much stuff? ”

Huang Yuyan was busy with today's itinerary and said it again. And said, my mother-in-law also got a gift, what are them. Sun also estimated the price, and her mother-in-law was very happy.

When he said this, Yan Boxuan's eyebrows furrowed and said, "The younger brother and sister housekeeper is a good hand, but this is also too philistine, where is someone who gives us a gift and estimates the price at home?" It's good to be at home, if you don't get laughed at outside. I really don't understand why my mother likes her so much? I think you are much better than her, and a lady like you is the daughter-in-law of our Yan family. ”

Huang Yuyan's heart was full of joy and she was happy.

Yan Boxuan asked again: "What kind of gift did you give us?" ”

Huang Yuyan hurriedly introduced all the gifts, those gold and silver and other things were just that, Yan Boxuan couldn't put it down as soon as he washed it with that jasper, and said: "Oh, this is a good thing, look at this shape, this color, this texture, this is a good thing, leave it to our brother in the future, you must have a good life." ”

Huang Yuyan hurriedly called the maid in and instructed the good student to take it.

Only then did he turn to his husband and say, "This time Wen Hui gave me so many good things, I didn't prepare any gifts when I came to the door, or my mother prepared a gift, I am really ashamed to think about it." ”

Yan Boxuan said: "That's right. Fortunately, my mother-in-law prepared a gift. However, these things can also be seen that Lord Wen Hui really attaches great importance to feelings, and it is really good for you. ”

Speaking of which, Huang Yuyan is here. Originally, the relationship between her and her husband was very good, and the two of them talked a lot. When Huang Yuyan had no outsiders, she talked to Yan Boxuan very casually.

Huang Yuyan said: "Yes, actually, when we played together, Lord Wen Hui and Sister Mingzhu, Sister Lan Caiyu, and Sister Wang Yaozhen had a better relationship. I don't have much contact with Lord Wenhui. Especially after our Huang family took refuge in the Xiao Chen family, we didn't live in the same city as Lord Wenhui, so we had fewer opportunities to meet. I didn't expect that after I got married now, Lord Wenhui still treated me the same way I did back then. ”

Seeing his wife's moved appearance, Yan Boxuan laughed.

Huang Yuyan looked at her husband, hesitated for a moment, and told her what Chen Wenhui told her about letting the two of them go to Nanyang together and preparing to arrange a position for her husband.

After Yan Boxuan heard this, he was stunned. This is really huge news. Actually, speaking of which, their family is not as rich as Chen Wenhui, but they are still rich in Qingyang City, after all, he has an uncle who is a assassin and a father who is a prefect. My father got a lot every year during his tenure. Not to mention that the family's business is also profitable. However, none of this is his, these are in the hands of his mother. His mother also loved him and gave him all the best things.

However, the real financial power of the family is in the hands of the younger brother and sister-in-law. He has no problem with his daily expenses, but it is impossible to have large expenditures. Yan Boxuan often feels panicked about staying at home. However, he is a scholar, and he can only be free after he becomes a scholar, otherwise once he leaves the family and the family, it will be nothing.

He is still very sure about next year's lifting exam, after all, he is at his own doorstep, and his knowledge has always been good. However, what about after the entrance examination? I can only take the exam in Beijing after three years, and can I take the exam after entering the exam? Dafang's second brother Yan Shupeng was a person many years ago, and he took the Beijing exam several times, but isn't it the same name as Sun Shan? His knowledge is really far from that of his second cousin. Therefore, sometimes, when he thinks about the matter, he is a little discouraged.

Now, his wife actually told him that there was a shortcut to take, and he couldn't help but feel excited. This is a great opportunity.

Huang Yuyan looked at her husband's hesitant appearance, lowered her head and pondered for a while, and then showed joy on her face, she had to say, "Don't think about it now." Actually, I haven't told my mother about this yet. Why don't you go and talk to your mother, and then send a letter to your father to discuss. Also, you can talk to my father about it. Their elders are well-informed, and they are better informed than we are. Lord Wen Hui said, we don't need to make a decision now. Anyway, I'll have to wait until you take the exam next year. ”

Yan Boxuan thought about it, then put it down and said, "What Madam said is that this is not something that can be decided in a while. I'll go and talk to my father-in-law tomorrow. Then talk to your mother. After all, my mother is a woman in the back house, where is my father-in-law who is well-informed? ”

Huang Yuyan saw that her husband valued her father so much, and she suddenly became happy.

Yan Boxuan continued: "Actually, I was moved. What a great opportunity. Nine times out of ten, I will be able to pass the lifting exam next year, but what about the Jinshi exam in the future? Dafang's second cousin is much more talented than me, he has been in Beijing for many years, and he has been in Beijing several times, isn't he all named Sun Shan? Alas, the road to the imperial examination is really difficult. However, if I come out as a lifter, because my father is an official of the five grades, what can I start with? It's good to have a positive eight-grade one, so how long does it take to survive? ”

As soon as Huang Yuyan heard it: "You mentioned the second cousin, I want to say that today, I met the second cousin." ”

Yan Boxuan didn't care, living in a family, isn't it common to meet a second cousin? If you want to touch it, you can do it every day. He casually asked, "Where do you have time to go to the long house today?" ”

Huang Yuyan said: "Well, I didn't meet in the long room. I didn't come across it at home. It's at the county lord of Wenhui. ”

At this moment, Yan Boxuan was not calm, and was busy asking what the situation was. Huang Yuyan told the situation again, including some of the words asked by Chen Wenhui, of course, she couldn't remember all the words about business and the national economy and people's livelihood, but she just picked up what she remembered. However, she remembered the two paths that Chen Wenhui gave Yan Shupeng clearly, and she also told Yan Boxuan 1510.

After Yan Boxuan listened, he couldn't sit still, stood up, paced around the room, walked a few laps and asked, "Did the second cousin agree?" ”

Huang Yuyan said: "I didn't agree on the spot, but I think I should want to go to the northwest." ”

Yan Boxuan thought for a while and said, "The second cousin is actually very talented. He has followed his uncle in office since he was a child, and he has learned a lot of talents about the national economy and people's livelihood. He himself is also an ambitious person, with a comfortable temperament, with the title of 'Little Meng', a good friend, good fun, and good management. No wonder the county lord can take a fancy to him, and he does not hesitate to give him an official position. He himself was also right to choose the Northwest. Only that prairie suited his temperament. ”

Yan Boxuan continued: "This is a big deal, the second cousin can't make a decision alone, he must go home to discuss with the eldest uncle, and he also has to discuss with the second cousin." However, even the second cousin plans to come out as a lifter, what am I hesitating about, I will go to my father-in-law tomorrow to discuss, and if I think about it, my father-in-law will agree. “

Huang Yuyan heard that it made sense, if Yan Shupeng followed Chen Wenhui, thinking about it, her mother-in-law would be jealous, and she would definitely support her husband to go to Nanyang too, so could she follow? It's really happy to think that I can live my own little life in the future.

It's just that in the future, they will be the two of them, and their husbands will be officials in the future, and they can't be idle, they must be a capable person like Wen Hui. (To be continued......)
