"If we're going to the capital, we can discuss with Dad and Uncle about a business for the three of us! A big business! A business that makes a lot of money! Uncle has status and connections in the capital, and I have ideas. It's a perfect partnership!"
"It would be great if Uncle could bring the Emperor along to join in this endeavor. That way we'd be even more secure!"
"What are you doing?"
"A large commercial center that combines food, drink, entertainment, and fun? Yeah, that's definitely possible. We can also do other things to enrich the lives of the people in the capital!"
“…”
Cheng Yue kept talking and talking, and soon said she was tired and went to sleep.
Shanshui couldn't fall asleep for a while.
If my brother-in-law's feeling is really so accurate, then Cheng Yue will definitely go to Beijing.
Cheng Yue is now pregnant and will give birth in four months. Taking care of the child will be a tedious task. Even if she wants to go, her parents may not let her go.
Then there is only one possibility, that is, he will come forward.
Why did he show up?
Could it be that something is going to happen to the prince, or to Master Li, or to his father?
Shanshui's mind was a little confused and he couldn't analyze anything at once, but he couldn't fall asleep.
It was almost dawn, and the mountains and rivers were asleep.
…
The Jiang family left after having lunch on the third day of the Lunar New Year.
After the third day of the Lunar New Year, people began to come one after another to pay New Year's greetings.
The rule in Xinghua Village is that, except for close relatives, no one is allowed to visit or pay New Year's greetings on the first, second and third days of the New Year.
The first to arrive were the Xie and Huang families, then He Dafeng with his wife and children, then other people who had met after doing business last year, and then the manager of the Women's Workshop.
Until the seventh day of the New Year, there were several tables of people eating at the Cheng family every day, and it was very lively.
Cheng Kang planned to leave on the eighth day of the first lunar month. He had official business to attend to and it would not be good for him to be away for too long.
Cheng Minliang also had a job in the six ministries. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he would go to the yamen to work.
On the evening of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, after the guests had left, the two families still gathered together to chat.
This farewell was not as sad as the last one. Cheng Kang and Jiang had already decided to go to the capital this year.
We set off after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and when we got there it was the time for Jin Yan and Jin Xing's exams.
The Cheng family has received evaluations from two specialized masters and is very confident that their two children can pass the provincial examination.
By the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, Cheng Yue's child will be more than four months old. If she hires someone to take care of the child, Jiang will be able to travel far away without worry.
As to whether they will settle there this year, the Cheng Shun couple have not yet made a decision.
Everyone thinks it depends on how the two children perform in the exams.
If they did well in the exam, they could get a job in the capital, and they would go with the students. If they did not do well and had to take the exam again in the next session, they would return to the village. However, neither of them said this out loud.
Cheng Minhong still didn't want to go back to Beijing. She insisted on staying in the village with Cheng Kang and Lin and going back with them after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Cheng Kang and Lin had no choice but to ask his brother and sister-in-law to take care of the little girl.
As for the other daughters, none of them wanted to stay.
Cheng Minliang's two sons wanted to stay, but they needed to go to school. They had already started their elementary education last year and were studying at the Beijing Academy. Neither Gao nor Cheng Minliang allowed the children to stay.
Cheng Kang didn't say anything about this. He only took care of his children and left his grandchildren to their own parents to take care of, so that his daughter-in-law wouldn't have anything to say.
