It was 1893, and the triennial children's examination was held as scheduled.

Because Liu Anlu's household registration belongs to Huzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Province, he must return to his hometown to take the child test. It was decided that Liu Anjiang would drive, and Liu Yong would send An Lu to the examination with Liu Anjiang, and by the way, he was also going back to Nanxun's hometown to see the progress of the 'Xiaolianzhuang' project. Yanyan proposed that she would not go back to her parents' house for a long time, and she was going to go back to her parents' house with Chenggan, which happened to be a car, but it was not in the way.

In the morning, Tang Xuanxuan had already prepared their luggage for them, and Yu Yaqing also came over with a big belly and was supported by the maid Chunhua. She took Liu Anjiang's hand. Dao: When you go out, your husband should pay attention to your diet and daily life.

Liu Anjiang smiled: I don't have to worry, you just take care of yourself, and you have to walk slowly.

Yu Yaqing said with a smile: I walk on six legs, how can there be any reason for instability.

......

Liu Yong and the others took a detour from Jiaxing to send Anlu directly to Huzhou Mansion, and after settling down, they returned to Nanxun. Yeon-yeon took Chenggan back to her parents' house. Anyway, there are people watching the Liu family's compound, and there is no problem with Liu Yong and Liu Anjiang's diet and daily life.

Liu Yong and his son Liu Anjiang go to the 'Xiaolianzhuang' construction site from time to time, and sometimes they also go to the silk factory.

After three exams, Liu Anlu stood out.

On the day of the list, Liu Yong drove from An Jiang to go together, on the one hand to inquire about the situation, and on the other hand, to pick up An Lu by the way.

The sky is still bright, and there are already crowds of people in front of the list wall, all waiting for the moment of excitement. As soon as the yellow list was posted, people were desperately squeezing forward, some people jumped up happily, and some people burst into tears in frustration.

Liu Yong, Liu Anjiang, and Liu Anlu also squeezed into the crowd. I saw the yellow list written: Gongsheng first place, Liu Anlu.

Liu Yong felt happy in his heart. Liu Anjiang and Liu Anlu also jumped up happily.

Liu Yong said expressionlessly: An Lu should be happy, this is the ancestor of the accumulation of virtue. But this is only the beginning, humility is advancing, arrogance is retreating.

Liu Anjiang and Liu Anlu said in unison: We know that Daddy has good intentions.

So, they all returned to Shanghai.

......

Liu Anlutong tried to be the first to pay tribute, and the whole family was happy, and many relatives and friends came to congratulate him.

Zhou Xiangyun called Liu Anlu as soon as possible.

Even Yao Baoxun came to congratulate him.

Yao Baoxun waved his hands to Liu Yongdao and said: My in-laws, my son-in-law is out of the woods and is at the top of the list, so I should congratulate you!

Liu Yong smiled and said: It is the virtue accumulated by the ancestors. This is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go.

......

Liu Yong has always believed that the Liu family has today, which is the ancestral virtue. So, I discussed with Tang Xuanxuan and held a worship to my ancestors at home. Tang Xuanxuan naturally agreed.

The next morning, in the center of the hall of Building No. 1 of the Liu Family Compound, a table of eight immortals was set up, on which a pair of big red candles were lit, and a pig's head was placed on the table, and a fresh big carp was still jumping. Next to the table are two sticks of sugar cane, wrapped in red paper, symbolizing the meaning of 'high and high'.

Liu Yong knelt there and said: Each ancestor is in the ranks, the Liu family has today, all of them are ancestors who accumulate virtue, and I, Liu Yong, Xie Zu, are all ancestors and ancestors.

The others knelt down in turn.

Yu Yaqing had a big belly and could no longer kneel, and with the support of the maid Chunhua, she kowtowed three times to her ancestors. He prayed silently, wishing that he would give birth to a boy and a girl for Liu Anjiang in peace.

......

Liu Anlutong tried to get out of the house, and Gongsheng was the first, which has been rumored to be a good story.

Yao Baoxun was satisfied that his daughter Yao Qinfang was able to marry Liu Anlu, the third son of the Liu family. Although Liu Anlu is only 17 years old, her daughter Yao Qinfang is 18 years old, one year older than Liu Anlu, and she has reached the age of leaving the cabinet. Huge men and women are often together when they are young, once the two of them are hot-headed together, to the point where it is difficult to control themselves, and they get pregnant before marriage, won't they lose their face? In addition, Shanghai is a city where Western culture has penetrated very strongly. There are many long dreams at night, young people see different thoughts, and those who rely on marriage and those who resist marriage abound. So, he took the initiative to discuss with Liu Yong.

Yao Baoxun said to Liu Yong with a smile: My family, although the emperor's daughter is not worried about getting married, the children of rich families are not hungry. Now, the son-in-law has learned and succeeded, and the children have reached the age of marriage, so it is better to let them get married first and then start a business. The little couple is also affectionate, but they are often together, and they talk to me all day long, in case something happens, it will be unseemly.

Liu Yong said with a smile: The in-laws are reasonable. Now the way of the world has become a bit incomprehensible. We weren't married at that time, and when we met between men and women, how could we dare to say a word? That is to say, before the words come out, the face is red. It should be said that emotions are a private matter, and only the space of two people is possible. It's like now, in a café, in front of the public, kissing and hugging, a bit really not as good as a beast.

Yao Baoxun smiled: You and I are traditional people. They are called new ideas.

Liu Yong smiled and said: New ideas can't have no bottom line?

Haha, the two laughed.

In the end, Liu Yong said: In this case, we will arrange a date and give them a marriage.

......

Somali cafes are covered with vines, the lights are dim, and soothing music creates a sweet atmosphere.

Liu Anlu and Yao Qinfang sat opposite each other by the window.

Liu Anlu asked with a smile: The wedding date is approaching, what kind of wedding scene are you looking forward to?

Yao Qinfang smiled and said: In my opinion, just like in the movie, the bride is wearing a white wedding dress, and the groom is wearing a dress, holding hands, and slowly walks into the red carpet.

Liu Anlu said solemnly: That is absolutely not, according to our Chinese tradition, wearing white at the wedding is a big taboo, but it is an unlucky omen. According to the tradition of our country, white is worn only at funerals. Wearing a white wedding dress is a product of Western churches.

Yao Qinfang smiled and said: How can it be so terrible as you say? Then listen to you, just wear a red Tang costume at that time.

Liu Anlu said: Nai also made. Red represents auspiciousness and blazing.

Yao Qinfang said again: That white represents purity.

Liu Anlu said again: No. It is white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, all colors can be defiled, so white is the most impure color.

Yao Qinfang said with a smile: You scholars are one set of books, how can ordinary people pay so much attention.

Liu Anlu said again: This is not exquisite, that is a national tradition, that is culture.

......

Liu Anlu and Yao Qinfang's wedding went on as scheduled, and there was not much to say.

Soon, Liu Anjiang's second wife Yu Yaqing successfully gave birth to a son, named Liu Chengben.

Subsequently, Liu Anjiang's first lady Jin Xiaoying was pregnant again. It's a good thing.
