"Jinxing is injured? Where is he injured?"
Gu Xuelan, who came in later, also heard it and asked worriedly.
"Cheng Jin, go back to your room and let your grandparents, parents, and uncle take a look, otherwise everyone will come and ask questions!"
Cheng Yue, wearing an apron and holding a knife, turned around and said.
"Hey, Fatty, why are you cooking? I told you to come in and do it!"
Only then did Jiang see Cheng Yue cutting vegetables on the chopping board.
"Mom, I'm so sad. I've only been married for a few days and you can't see me anymore!"
Cheng Yue said aggrievedly.
"You silly girl, oh, how could you let Shanshui light the fire for you? Ah Fu Ah Gui, come to the kitchen quickly!"
Jiang laughed and scolded, then found Shanshui sitting in front of the stove.
How can this be possible!
How can you let your son-in-law do things on the day of returning home?
…
The whole family came back, and the Cheng family returned to its former bustle.
In the evening, except for Cheng Wu who was still in the yamen, everyone else was there and sat around the round table. The atmosphere was very good.
Cheng Shun kept talking, telling about what he had seen and heard from the day he went to the provincial capital until today when he returned.
Since Cheng Kang left home more than 30 years ago, Cheng Shun has only been to the provincial capital once a few years ago, when Tao Yunchuan's father passed away, and he and Jiang went to pay their respects.
Cheng Kang was also sighing. He and his brother had often gone to the provincial capital to play when they were young. This time they went again and felt that Yunzhou Prefecture had changed a lot.
After the meal, Cheng Yue told Cheng Wen that the store would open tomorrow, and then she and Shanshui went home with bags of gifts.
"Jinxing, are you asleep?"
After Cheng Yue and the others left, Cheng Jinyan came to Cheng Jinxing's room with a small bag.
"What?"
Cheng Jinxing responded from inside the room.
Cheng Jinyan pushed the door open and walked in.
"Here, I bought it at a bookstore in the capital. They said it was for the final exam questions!"
Cheng Jinyan handed over the small bag in his hand.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you really are my brother! You insist on giving me something I don't like?"
Cheng Jinxing rolled his eyes, but still took the small bundle.
"Hehehe."
Cheng Jinyan smiled and sat on Cheng Jinxing's bed.
Cheng Jinxing glared at him.
"This book is incredibly valuable. I spent two taels of silver on it! It was recommended to me by the son of Uncle He, the man who bought watermelons from our family. He's also planning to take the military exam, and he's already started reading. He's very confident he'll pass the prefectural election, so he's preparing to study and try to get in the top three."
Cheng Jinyan said.
"That kid? He doesn't look that good! Skinny and weak, and he wants to be in the top three?"
Cheng Jinxing frowned.
"I don't understand this. But he looks determined to win! Jinxing, you can't slack off just because our uncle is a great uncle now! No matter what uncle will do to help us, we still have to have real abilities ourselves."
Cheng Jin said.
"I understand. The same goes for you. Don't assume that just because your uncle has a good relationship with the emperor, he'll choose you as the top scholar once you enter the palace. You have to work hard and rely on your own abilities!"
Cheng Jinxing imitated Cheng Jinyan and said.
"Of course I know. Then let's work together, brothers! Let's work hard to make our Cheng family stronger!"
Cheng Jinyan clenched his fists, full of fighting spirit.
"Go, go, I'm going to sleep!"
Cheng Jinxing thought his brother was childish, so he refused to join him in making bold statements!
