Time flies, and it's another year of township testing.

Xie Rongzhao is already fifteen years old.

Xie Ronghui sat in the study with a nervous face, and when the list was released today, he was not sure if he could be on the list, and he didn't want to see the disappointed eyes of his father and wife, so he hid in the study alone.

Early in the morning, Liu Ruolan sent someone to guard it, but it was not until the time to release the list, so it was useless to go early.

Chen Jiaojiao was sitting in the main hall at this time, babbling with a little milk doll in her arms.

After Xie Rongzhao came in, he saw the little doll at a glance, hurriedly saluted his mother, and went to hug the little niece.

Chen Jiaojiao had a firstborn daughter, and she was originally worried that she would make her mother and husband unhappy, but she noticed that they didn't mean to blame herself, so it was easier.

Liu Ruolan herself is the daughter she was born, so naturally she will no longer force her daughter-in-law to do something she is unwilling to do.

After Chen Jiaojiao married into the Xie family, she never listened to her mother-in-law's request for her to have a son, let alone take the initiative to stuff people into the junior room, just for this, Chen Jiaojiao is sincerely filial to this mother-in-law.

Compared with her own sisters, Chen Jiaojiao feels that she is the most comfortable one to marry.

Xianggong's house is clean, and she takes care of everything in the inner house, Xianggong never asks more, even his mother-in-law never interferes in the affairs of their yard, and the usual food and clothing are not bad, whether it is monthly money or other subsidies, nothing can be faulted, what is more comfortable than now?

She used to think that after she got married, if her husband was tired of her, or if she was pregnant and couldn't serve, she would carry two intercourse.

Mrs. Chen taught her more than once that she should try not to carry the woman outside back, it is not easy to handle, and it is easy to be careful.

So Chen Jiaojiao has long been thinking about the candidate for the room.

It's just that I didn't expect it to be used.

When she got married before, one of the two big girls who was married was promised by her to a small steward of Xie Mansion, and the other was released by her deed of sale and allowed her to go back to her hometown to marry.

Now, the big girls who are brought up next to me are all girls who were bought after they entered the Xie Mansion, and they are not very old, but they are already very careful in their work.

Chen Jiaojiao has observed, Xianggong doesn't mean which girl in the picture, so she is a genuine lady with peace of mind, I don't know how many people envy her behind her back.

Today's list, she knows that Xianggong is nervous, but in fact, she is also nervous.

I didn't pass the exam last time, and I don't know if I can get it this year, Chen Jiaojiao is still a little panicked.

"A-Niang, can you send someone to see the list?"

"Sent out early in the morning. And you have to wait. I also blame your dad for being brainless, I said earlier that it would be good to let him help inquire about the rankings, but he didn't listen, and said that it was easy to provoke criticism, so he hid cleanly! ”

Chen Jiaojiao said with a smile: "Mother, don't say that, my father really wants to avoid suspicion." Since the beginning of this spring, my father has been deliberately staying away from the adults in the Ministry of Rites, just for fear that there will be another thing that is not conducive to the reputation of our Xie family. It's been so long, if my father can't bear it for a while, won't he have lost all his efforts? ”

Liu Ruolan glared at her angrily: "You are all of the same heart as him." Hmph, I don't want to think about how busy he is from morning to night every day, I can't see him a few times in a month, let alone you? ”

Xie Rongzhao agreed, "Daddy has been too busy lately. Haven't all the things done about border trade have been done? Why are you still so busy? ”

"My father is a secretary of the ministry, so there are naturally a lot of big and small things, and it's no wonder that we can't help much."

Xie Rongzhao said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't be anxious, when my eldest brother joins the office, you will be able to help." ”

Chen Jiaojiao glared at her with a red face: "Come and make fun of me again!" ”

A few people had a lot of fun, Xie Rongzhao hugged his little niece and teased a few words, and Xie Ronglang and the others were waiting outside to come over and say goodbye.

It's all a family, and there's nothing to shy away from, anyway, there are elders.

In a few moments, the room will be full.

"Auntie, my palms are sweating, my eldest brother is participating in the township test, I am more nervous than him."

Xie Rongzhao poked at him: "What are you nervous about? It's all over! You are a big heart, when you took the hospital exam, you didn't bring a pen, but thanks to A-Niang checked it again. It's good for you to send your eldest brother to take the exam, you drank too much wine on the first day, and it's a shame that Daddy doesn't know about it, otherwise you will have to be punished for copying the book hundreds of times! ”

Xie Ronglang flattered: "Sister, I was wrong, don't you say it?" ”

His appearance caused everyone to laugh again.

Xie Rongen is dressed as a military general, and now he has entered the Zuo Xiaowei battalion, and he is already a lieutenant from the seventh rank.

"Alright, you guys are going to stop bickering. It's rare that you all take a break today, no matter whether Brother Hui can pass the exam today, let's be happy together at noon. ”

After the words fell, Liu Ruolan looked at Chen Jiaojiao: "You go and tell the kitchen to prepare the roast duck and braised chicken that several children like, as well as our Shilang's favorite mutton." ”

"Yes, mother, daughter-in-law will go."

The child is with her mother, and Chen Jiaojiao is not half worried.

Xie Ronglang sat for a while, calculating his steps in his heart: "Brothers, let's go to the front yard and wait, once there is news, we will come to my mother immediately." There are so many of us, we don't dare to look up at our little niece. ”

The little doll is young, and it is simply a recognition of life.

These uncles usually come back rarely, and the little doll has a poor memory, so every time they see them, they have to hide for a while before they are willing to see them.

Xie Ronglang is talented and not very old, but this year he has already won the show, a proper celebrity, a fifteen-year-old boy, which is rare.

I don't know when he became the leader of this group of brothers, but whatever he finalized, there was no one else who should not be.

As soon as he spoke, the other people all got up and retreated, and Liu Ruolan instructed the Gu family to prepare some small hanging pear soup for them.

The wait is the hardest part.

Especially for Xie Ronghui, this is his second township test, and if he fails, he will have to wait for another three years.

Xie Ronghui is not in a hurry to enter the office, but in the capital, it is obviously not enough to have only one talent and fame, and now his father is in the position of the secretary of the ministry, and as the eldest son in name, he is not able to study, lest he fall into his father's fame again.

This year, he and Cheng Jingzhou both participated in the township test, he was sure that Cheng Jingzhou would win, after all, he had been praised by several gentlemen three years ago, if Cheng Jingzhou won this time, and he did not win, it is inevitable that there will be a psychological gap.

Xie Ronghui thought not only of his face, but more importantly, if he didn't hit, he would always feel shortness of breath when he protected the good baby in the future. (End of chapter)
