Chapter 1981 Wait until you win before you blow it

Ma sneered, and was unwilling to accept the result. She couldn't help but boast: "Speaking of which, our Liulang will definitely become a high-ranking official in the future. He will definitely pass the imperial examination this year! Staying in the capital to be an official is much better than being in the countryside!"

Ma really wanted to say that her son had won the top spot in the imperial examination, but Shao Liulang had warned the couple many times not to say such things, so Ma could only give up with regret.

Fang smiled and said, "Wait until you win before you blow it!"

Ma was angry: "You——"

"Come on," Fang stood up and begged Qiao Xuan to go home. "An An should be awake by now, so we should go back too! When there's a wedding at home later, don't forget to come and help out, my third brother and his wife."

She just couldn't stand seeing Ma like this. Shao Liulang just went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, but with such a grand scene, anyone who didn't know would think that he had passed the exam and would soon become an official!

Every year, countless students go to Beijing to take the imperial examinations. When Shao Yunduan went to Beijing, everyone in his family was extremely nervous and worried.

In this regard, they are not as good as the Ma couple. Listening to their bragging, I worry about them being embarrassed.

Ma snorted, thinking, "We'll see." She then added, "Okay, then I won't keep you. I don't know if you've thought it over. A wealthy family like the Zhao family has a lot of rules, which are different from a small country family like ours. If something goes wrong during the wedding, Taotao will be laughed at and looked down upon when she gets married."

"You don't have to worry about this. I don't understand, but Qiao does! The eldest lady of the Lezheng family in the provincial capital has sent her housekeeper to come back with Qiao, and she can help too!"

Ma was stunned and snorted coldly, "Qiao is young, what can she understand about such a big thing? The one coming from Lezheng's house is not the lady of that family, but just a servant. Is the eldest sister-in-law going to let a servant take care of Taotao's wedding?"

Qiao Xuan couldn't listen any longer: "Third Aunt is wrong! Aunt Hua, who is beside Aunt Le Zheng, is Aunt Le Zheng's right-hand man. What doesn't she know? She is not an ordinary servant. Her family has servants and hundreds of acres of land. With her guidance, Taotao's marriage will be fine. If someone dares to do something bad behind my back, I will never let it go!"

Fang was annoyed by Ma's words and said coldly, "Madam Hua is just helping to give some advice, what's wrong with that? Could it be that I don't trust the housekeeper of the eldest lady of the Lezheng family in the provincial capital, and instead entrust the matter to a small landlord's wife? How could I let such an outsider interfere in my Taotao's marriage!"

Ma could only watch them leave, and spat for a while: "You don't know how to appreciate kindness!"

Fang was also complaining to Qiao Xuan.

There was a gentry in the next village. His son passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, but he failed to advance further after taking the exam several times. The gentry had always wanted to curry favor with the eldest wife, and wanted Shao Yunduan to help him communicate with the prefect during the autumn examination so that his son could pass.

When the family tried to test her, Fang refused without hesitation and distanced herself from them from then on.

Fortunately, Uncle Shao was not confused about this and did not agree to anything rashly.

But that family didn't give up. Now Taotao wants to marry Zhao Shu. The family thinks that the Shao family knows nothing, so the country squire's wife promises Ma some benefits and asks Ma to help them make the connection.

See you tomorrow!
