The new year has begun, and the living atmosphere of the Cheng family is much tighter than before.

Cheng Enjie and Cheng Fangzi were eligible to sign up for the scientific examination, and the uncle and nephew decided to apply for the examination at the same time.

In the spring, it is the season of reading, Cheng Enci goes to Zhuo's house more often than before, and often takes Cheng Fangxing's brothers with him.

Cheng Kejia once pouted and complained to him, but Cheng Enci smiled and reached out to touch her hair, saying, "I don't want to train Jia'er to be a nerd." ”

Cheng Enci wanted to take Cheng Kejia to the Zhuo family often, but the three old ladies of the Cheng family didn't want their granddaughter to get too close to her uncle's family.

The original words of the third old lady of the Cheng family: "The men of the Zhuo family are very filial and have real talents, but their wives have educated them too unassertively. ”

The third old lady of the Cheng family said to Cheng Enci in private: "Third child, I would rather that if Jia'er encounters something bad in the future, she will be as strong and survive as the old aunt and grandmother, rather than that she will follow the example of the eldest daughter of the Zhuo family and live in her husband's family like this." ”

The third old lady of the Cheng family naturally didn't say it explicitly in front of Cheng Enci, she didn't like Zhuo's habitual coldness towards people and things.

When the third old lady of the Cheng family sometimes looks at Cheng Kejia, her heart is also a little entangled, she hopes that Cheng Kejia can learn the coldness in Zhuo's bones, and hopes that she will not be like Zhuo's.

A woman like Zhuo's can't warm her side, unless the people around her are particularly warm people who oppose warming her up.

Cheng Enci is naturally very good in the hearts of the three old ladies of the Cheng family, but she also understands in her heart that Cheng Enci is also the kind of character who is dedicated to people.

Cheng Enci was able to treat Cheng Kejia with such love, which already made the three old ladies of the Cheng family feel that it was an unprecedented thing, and they felt that this was a natural father-daughter relationship.

Of course, after Cheng Enci, he didn't know where he found two white muslins, and he sent them directly to Haoyuan and handed them to Yugu.

After Yu Gu took it, her heart was a little drumming, although Gu Niangzi was the one who came in with the permission of the masters, but the things she taught the young lady in private, Yu Gu was always worried that the masters did not know.

Cheng Enci didn't care what Aunt Yu had in mind, he turned around and told the third old lady of the Cheng family about the cloth.

The third old lady of the Cheng family listened to Cheng En's promise, and when she had a better cloth for her next time, she was already laughing.

"I'm a grandmother, where would I care about the little things with my granddaughter in front of my son."

Cheng Enci looked at the three old ladies of the Cheng family with a smile and said, "Mother, you are an adult, but Jia'er is a villain, I am afraid that my heart will not be big." ”

The third old lady of the Cheng family looked at him with a smile, shook her head and said, "You just want me and Jia'er to fight for you, but unfortunately Jia'er and I understand that no matter what, you treat us well, and neither of us has to fight." ”

Cheng Enci smiled slightly, when he was idle and bored now, he would also go to the concubine room to walk around, after all, he didn't want the concubines to make a embarrassing mess at that time.

Cheng Enci now feels that it is troublesome to have too many concubines, and he walked down one by one, delaying him a lot of time.

Just looking at the concubines' delicate and admiring expressions, they behaved quite docile and obedient one by one, and he felt that it was just a matter of spending some rice to raise.

Zhuo's approach to Cheng Enci's lingering concubines, she didn't say anything, and when the concubines came to ask for peace with a happy face, she stroked her stomach quite indifferently.

Cheng Enci has already told her carefully, and the concubines who have already given birth will definitely not allow them to have a second child.

Zhuo's family will not do those dirty things, but only prepare child avoidance soup for the concubines who have already had, and she will follow Cheng Enci's instructions.

Cheng Enci has never shied away from informing the concubines who have already given birth that he will not ask them to give him any more children.

The concubines were happy before, and after that, they inquired about each other's news in private, and after hearing about the similar news, the concubines who had children were at ease, but the concubines who had women were very sad in their hearts.

The concubine who had never given birth was now looking forward to Cheng Enci going a few more times with joy, but in the summer, Cheng Enci lived in the forest garden again.

In the summer, the Cheng family was jubilant, Cheng Enjie and Cheng Fangzi were on the list, and their rankings were both in front of the top 200, and Cheng Enjie's results had already been raised to the top 100.

After the two of them took the palace examination, their rankings advanced a few places, and both of them were quite young, and their prospects were more promising than those older candidates.

In the summer, the Cheng family received many posts for banquets.

And the Cheng family originally thought about holding a celebration banquet for Cheng Enjie and Cheng Fangzi, but they were tactfully stopped by the two of them.

They also bluntly said that their ranking was not high, and they heard that there were many people who were higher than them, but they only rejoiced in their own families, and did not act in a big way.

The two of them would do well to learn to keep a low profile for now.

After Cheng Enjie and Cheng Fangzi's scientific research, they both understood their own shortcomings.

At this time, the Cheng family also hurriedly opened up the family affairs of the two of them.

After each year of scientific research, not all of them can stay in the capital, and they usually go down to various places.

The ranking of their uncle and nephew happened to be in the middle, and the Cheng family asked them what they meant, and Cheng Fangzi had the intention of staying in the capital.

But Cheng Enjie wants to go to the place for a walk, he is the youngest sister-in-law in the family, and he does not have Cheng Fangzi's thoughts about the family.

Of course, it is also because Cheng Fangzi would rather be a petty official in the capital for the rest of his life, and he also has to protect the elders of the Cheng family, so that the people below can be free.

When Cheng Fangzi was young, he and Cheng Enjie were close in age, and the two agreed to walk together to visit the most beautiful places in the world.

Cheng Enjie privately reminded Cheng Fangzi that Cheng Enmeng is now in his prime, and he still has the opportunity to have time to realize his ambition of making a career.

Cheng Fangzi shook his head gently, some family matters are never convenient to talk to others, and some responsibilities have come to the time when he should take them.

The eldest lady of the Cheng family had already said in front of Cheng Enmeng that when he was old, the Cheng family would be headed by Cheng Fangzi.

Cheng Fangzi saw the shocked look on Cheng Enmeng's face, of course, he also had a shocked look on his face, and the father and son looked at each other.

After Cheng Fangzi took a deep breath, he persuaded the eldest lady of the Cheng family to say, "Grandfather, if you are angry with your father, don't say such angry things. Grandfather will not get old, and father will always be filial to grandfather. ”

The eldest lady of the Cheng family looked at the look on Cheng Enmeng's face, and then at the look on the eldest grandson's face, he waved his hand at Cheng Fangzi and said, "Fangzi, go back, I have something to talk to your father." ”

Cheng Fangzi looked back and forth at the expressions of the eldest lady of the Cheng family and Cheng Enmeng, their father and son both nodded at him, and Cheng Fangzi turned back and walked back three times.
