A few days before the Autumn Examination, Chen Dong came to the capital from Guliang County. A Mu invited him to live in the Anchang Marquis Mansion, but he felt it was inappropriate and went to live in the Rong family.
Seeing that he insisted, Ah Mu had no choice but to send him to the Rong family. Rong Bowen and Rong Yi were both at home and welcomed Chen Donglai to live with them, thanking him for his help back then.
Chen Dong brought many specialties from his hometown, divided them into four parts, and went to visit the other three mansions.
On the day of the Autumn Examination, Ah Mu asked everyone not to see him off, "There are too many people at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall. Grandfather, please don't go and squeeze in. I can go by myself."
"Okay, then you go by yourself. Be careful." The old marquis and others sent him to the carriage and then turned back. They all went to see him off for fear of adding psychological burden to Amu, so they had to listen to his arrangements.
Before the carriage started, the old marquis called out, "Amu, don't feel any psychological burden. It doesn't matter whether you do well or not in the exam. Our family has everything."
"Grandpa, Amu has taken note of it." Amu opened the car curtain and waved goodbye to everyone.
Yier's hands and feet were moving. His father had gone to take part in the autumn examination. With his intelligence, he would definitely come back as the top scorer. His father was the top scorer, and he was so proud.
He should study hard in the future and become the top scholar for his mother. If there are two top scholars in the family, his mother will be very happy.
He vaguely remembered that in his previous life, he was a son-in-law chosen from the imperial examination list. He was able to gain a firm foothold in the court thanks to the help of his father-in-law. Yier thought that his wife would not be born for another five years.
Yier tried hard to recall who his father-in-law was, but his memory became more and more vague, and in the end he couldn't remember it.
Linlang watched the carriage go away. She never mentioned anything about the Autumn Examination from beginning to end. She had confidence in Amu and believed that he would be the top scorer.
Those who laughed at Amu didn't know that he submitted a blank paper for the essay in the provincial examination. Otherwise, the top prize in the provincial examination would have been in Amu's pocket.
This time, Linlang also prepared food and daily necessities for Amu, ensuring that he ate well and slept well. Medicines were also prepared so that he could complete the examination safely.
Of course, the same portion was also given to Zhao Yuning and Chen Dong.
No one was worried about Amu and just let things take their course. According to the current status of the two governments, if Amu became the top scorer in the imperial examination, it would be icing on the cake.
As the wedding of Su Jinrui and Hu Shanshan approaches, the Anchang Marquis' Mansion begins to get busy. In order to prepare for the wedding, the old lady and Mrs. Song sit together every day to discuss that the eldest grandson's wedding must be grand.
Linlang still goes to the clinic to see patients every day. Amu is on vacation at home these days. Every day he follows the old marquis and takes Mo'er to find that group of old guys to fight cocks and geese. He is very happy.
Rong Yi had been on leave at home for the past few days, and Rong Bowen always felt that his son was worried and often sat there in a daze. Rong Bowen was worried that his son would be bullied in the barracks. After all, his son was now a sergeant, leading several people, and might encounter some difficulties.
After asking indirectly, Rong Bowen felt relieved. His son performed well in the military camp and even received praise from his superiors. So why was he frowning?
Rong Bowen tried to ask, "Son, do you have a girl you like?"
Rong Yi shook his head.
"Are you really not in love with a girl?" Rong Bowen confirmed again.
Rong Yi gave an affirmative answer, "Dad, really not. It would be nice if I had a girl I liked."
"oh."
Rong Bowen was hoping his son would be trapped in love, as he was old enough. Suddenly, he thought of the military camp full of men, spending day and night together, and thought, "No way."
"Son, you... you... you're not in love with a man, are you?"
This question struck a chord with Rong Yi, and his face flushed. "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I like a man?"
Rong Yi stood up and said, "I'm going to the Marquis' Mansion to see my nephew."
Escape in panic.
No one knows a son better than his father. Seeing this scene, Rong Bowen had no idea what was going on. He slapped his thigh and cried loudly at home. How could his good son like a man? What would happen to his eldest grandson? He would never be able to hold him.
After crying enough, Rong Bowen thought that he couldn't go on like this. It seemed that his son was not in too deep a state of trouble yet, so it would be a good idea to pull him out of the fire pit as soon as possible.
Rong Bowen wiped his tears, washed his face with water, and rushed to find Linlang.
When he saw his daughter, Rong Bowen burst into tears again, which scared Linlang.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? What happened?" Linlang thought of Rong Yi first. "Did something happen to my brother? Stop crying and tell me quickly. Let's find a solution together."
After blocking everyone, Rong Bowen burst into tears and told his daughter, "Linlang, this is terrible. Your brother doesn't like girls anymore. He likes men. What should we do? You must think of a solution for Dad."
It was like a blockbuster bomb, exploding with a deafening force. The information contained too much information: Rong Yi likes men.
Thinking of the comics that those fujoshi liked to read in her previous life, Linlang had an idea in her mind at this moment. She wondered whether Rong Yi was on top or on the bottom.
Uh, I was thinking in the wrong direction.
Linlang quickly comforted Rong Bowen, "Dad, maybe you misunderstood, maybe big brother didn't mean that."
In this era, homosexuality is looked down upon, and Rong Yi would certainly not say it explicitly.
Linlang handed the handkerchief to Rong Bowen, "Dad, don't be sad yet. Maybe it's just a misunderstanding."
Rong Bowen wiped his tears and said, "I personally raised my son. I know what he's going to fart just by looking at his butt. I saw he looked worried, so I asked him if he was having any difficulties, and he shook his head. I asked him if he had a girl he liked, and he shook his head as well."
"Later, I tried to ask him, 'Are you in love with the boy?' But then I did something, and he blushed and ran away." Rong Bowen burst into tears, overcome with grief. "That's the answer. There's no misunderstanding at all."
Linlang was stunned. She didn't expect it to be true. Why didn't she realize before that her elder brother liked men?
"Dad, don't be sad. I'll go find my brother later and ask him what's going on." Although Linlang is not a fujoshi, if Rong Yi's orientation is like this, she will not reject it and will even support it.
But Dad definitely can't accept a male daughter-in-law. I still have to ask my eldest brother if it's what Dad thinks.
Rong Bowen urged, "Then go find your eldest brother and ask him. He's at the Marquis' Mansion to see his eldest grandson."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Linlang did not dare to delay for a moment and quickly took the carriage back to the Marquis' Mansion.
When they arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, they didn't see Rong Yi. Song told him that Rong Yi had gone to the cockfighting arena to find the old Marquis and others. Linlang quickly turned around and went to the cockfighting arena again.
On the way, Linlang was organizing her words, thinking about how to talk to her eldest brother. If it was a misunderstanding, that would be great. If that was the case, she could only support him. As for her father, she should try to persuade him. She couldn't marry a sister-in-law and make them a couple with grievances.
