Due to the men of the Zhao family pursuing their studies, there are many uncertainties.
To expand the Zhao family's various shops in the future, they all need loyal and reliable people, and the children of the Zhao family's orphanage are clearly the first choice.
No matter how good the workers you hire from outside are, they can't match the loyalty of those you raise yourself.
At least, even if a pet is badly raised by you, you'll still feel a sense of kinship with it.
Of course, this excludes those who are born heartless and treacherous.
If anyone in the Zhao family passes the imperial examination in August, the entire Zhao family may move to the capital.
Whether they say it's accompanying their child to the exam or that they don't want their loved ones to be separated for too long, that's what the Zhao family plans.
Those who passed the provincial examination waited for the metropolitan examination, while those who failed tried to find a private school to study in. The capital city, after all, had many great scholars.
It's not that the teachings of wandering monks and abbots weren't good enough, but going to the capital would allow one to learn from the strengths of many schools of thought.
Once the men in the family had settled their futures, the Zhao family's shop would then be opened.
After seeing Miss Yun off at her wedding, Huang and the others stayed overnight in the county town.
Early the next morning, Lü Feng brought Miss Xi to serve tea.
Huang didn't stand on ceremony. According to their age, it wouldn't be wrong for Lu Feng and his wife to call her "Grandma," especially since the two families were related by marriage.
Huang was just a little surprised.
Early in the morning, Huang and the others were playing games with the children at the orphanage when Lü Feng returned with his shy and timid wife.
Judging from the charming demeanor of Miss Xi, one could tell that the two had a very harmonious time last night.
The newlyweds are required to serve tea to their elders; this is an important matter.
In the canteen of the orphanage, a scene of newlyweds serving tea unfolded.
There were quite a lot of onlookers. The children had never seen anything like it before.
Yesterday's actions were for the children's safety, and today, at the orphanage, we should naturally give them a chance to observe the ceremony.
The group of children held their breath, as if afraid that the slightest sound would affect the outcome.
The newlyweds knelt on the prayer mat. First, Miss Xi picked up the tea handed to her by someone nearby, raised it above her head, and offered it to Madam Huang.
Huang picked up the teacup, gently scraped the tea leaves with the lid, took a small sip, and then set the teacup aside.
Immediately afterwards, Huang picked up a red envelope from the table and handed it to Miss Xi.
Lü Feng repeated the action.
Miss Xi bowed in gratitude. This concluded the tea ceremony for the newlyweds.
The reason why Lü Feng insisted on serving tea to Madam Huang early in the morning was because he truly believed that Madam Huang was his elder.
During the wedding procession, Zhao Qingshan announced that Lü Feng's status as a slave had been revoked, leaving Lü Feng feeling uneasy.
I want to be free, but I also don't want to be free.
Being a free agent seems great, but there are many things to face when you are a free agent.
For example, there's the issue of forced labor or unstable employment. After all, you're a free agent, but some important positions aren't something a free agent can easily access.
Of course, the word "freedom" is still very inspiring; who doesn't want freedom?
That night, during their wedding night, Miss Xi gave Lü Feng his household registration.
The son of a good citizen is so handsome he could blind a person.
When Lü Feng held the household registration certificate, his hands were trembling, which shows how excited he was.
After carefully putting away his household registration documents, Lü Feng, in his excitement, did not forget that today was their wedding night.
After a busy night, the couple finally fell into a deep sleep as dawn broke.
When Lü Feng woke up early in the morning, he was startled by the red stain on his handkerchief.
He shook his wife awake, "Wife, wife, wake up, where are you hurt?"
As he spoke, he hurriedly began to examine his wife.
From being dazed to becoming fully awake, and then her face turning bright red, it all happened in just a few moments.
Looking at Lü Feng's anxious face, Miss Xi revealed an evil smile.
“Husband, come closer, I’ll tell you what happened with that blood.”
Lu Feng, a single man in his late twenties, could hardly resist his wife's teasing. After listening to her finish speaking, his eyes widened in astonishment.
"Wife, weren't you married before? How can you still have virginity after marriage?"
The girl from Xida gritted her teeth.
"That's because I've never slept with that good-for-nothing. I'm still a virgin, understand?"
Now Lü Feng understood. As a grown man, he usually acted very composed, so no one ever made dirty jokes at him.
This led to Lü Feng making many mistakes on his wedding night, as a novice driver.
After gradually figuring it out and mastering the essence, I was finally able to drive the car on the highway.
Early this morning, I was given another lesson by my wife. I learned that she was still a virgin, which explained why I hadn't been able to get the hang of things last night.
Seeing the red again, he knew it wasn't his wife who was injured. The panic in his eyes disappeared, he threw off the covers, pounced on her, and transformed into a wolf.
Only after his wife's loud cry did the two finally stop what they were doing.
It was only then that I realized how precious my happiness was, and I had to express my gratitude. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to contain my joy at this moment.
Thus, a scene of serving tea early in the morning unfolded.
The children were also taught traditional customs by their elders while watching the play.
Time flies, and July has arrived in the blink of an eye.
This autumn imperial examination will be held in the prefectural city. The furthest the Zhao family had ever been was the prefectural city; they had never been to the prefectural city before.
With the idea of getting familiar with the environment as soon as possible, the Zhao family set off in early July.
Since Zhao Qianci was also going to participate in the imperial examination, Zhao Qingyan collected all the documents related to the imperial examination from everyone before leaving home.
The Zhao family was already used to this, and Xu Dongsheng simply enjoyed his fiancée's doting care for him. He thoroughly enjoyed Zhao Qingyan's attention.
He firmly believed that his young wife would never harm him.
Although it's best not to air family dirty laundry in public, Zhao Qingyan still told Xu Dongsheng about her grandfather's special qualities before leaving home.
Xu Dongsheng's eyes widened in surprise.
"Does such an unbelievable thing really exist in this world? If that's the case, then Grandpa is really too pitiful."
He suffered so much for the imperial examinations; this wasn't an examination at all, it was practically an adventure.
Zhao Qingyan nodded.
"That's how it is, so you must be careful at all times when you go to the county town. The extent of my grandfather's evil is indescribable."
I just don't know if the good deeds I've done can remedy my grandfather's unfortunate health.
I remember that later on, we had to cut off Grandpa's hair every day and burn it to prevent accidents from happening.
Towards the end, I lost all hope. Especially in the prefectural city, it was a nightmare.
You know, our whole family actually lived in a snake pit for so long. It's a miracle we weren't bitten to death.
Thinking back, when I bought that house, the seller was so eager and determined to sell; I should have suspected there might be a problem.
