The two people in the snow were smiling brightly, and there was more warmth in Xie Jian's eyes than usual, and he even chuckled from time to time.
At this moment, Chen Heng and Xiao Min'er looked at each other in the snow, and both threw the snowballs in their hands at Xie Jian.
"Uncle, come and hit me."
"Ajian, come and play."
Xie Jian was stunned for a moment, and seeing the two men throwing snowballs at him again, he quickly dodged and subconsciously bent down to pick up the snowball and threw it back. For a while, the three of them fought together, and laughter floated out from time to time.
The next day, the family slept until noon.
Compared with neighbors visiting relatives, the Xie family closed the door and went to the street with Aunt Feng to join in the fun.
From the first to the third day of the Lunar New Year, the streets are filled with various acrobatics, monkey shows, and various traditional folk cultural heritages, which are lively and exciting.
It’s much more fun than staying at home and playing with your phone.
On the second day of the New Year, Min'er returned to Wang Nei Shi's residence. In the following days, Meng Xuanlang and Wu Jin either came to visit or invited their family to play at the Meng and Wu families. On the seventh day of the New Year, everyone went to Lu Ji'an's house to have fun, and Xia cooked for them herself.
Chen Heng saw a room full of books and copied files of various cases. Apart from these, the whole house was empty.
This Lord Lu really puts all his energy and time into official duties.
After the Lantern Festival, life returned to normal.
Chen Heng was busy with the shop, Xia took care of the housework, and Xie Jian spent his time reading in addition to his work, preparing for the imperial examination in March.
These days, he and Meng Xuanlang often study at Lord Lu's house, just like when they were in Nanming County.
When spring comes, the imperial examination begins in March.
The Imperial Examination Hall in the imperial capital was extremely large, and it was said that it could accommodate more than 20,000 examinees taking the imperial examination at the same time, making it the largest imperial examination hall in the world.
There were really huge crowds of people.
Watching Xie Jian and Meng Xuanlang carrying their exam baskets into the Imperial College, Xia said nervously, "Ajian must pass the exam."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, Ajian will definitely pass the exam." Shen Heng said with certainty. From then on, Xie Jian officially entered the official career, made friends with high-ranking officials, and became a treacherous, powerful minister.
Since this is no longer the history she knows, she hopes that Xie Jian will stop being such a monstrous villain.
Over the past year or so, she actually wanted to change Xie Jian and change the direction of this dynasty. She didn't want to be in a place where there was chaos and war during the last dynasty, which would also affect her future life.
It is impossible to remain unscathed when the world is in chaos.
Just like when she first came to Dacong, even if she had the golden finger and left, she would still be affected by Xie Jian's misfortune in the end.
However, this guy has his own ideas and may not listen to what she says. She really has no ability to change him and can only let things take their course.
After greeting the people from the Meng family, the two sisters-in-law walked home arm in arm, chatting and laughing.
"I'm thinking of going to Fengguo Temple to burn incense and pray for good luck for Ajian," said Xia.
"Okay. Then, I'll go with my sister-in-law." Chen Heng thought it would be good to go to the temple to pray and pray for peace of mind and good fortune.
Just as the two of them arrived at the door of their house, they saw Nanny Feng standing at the door looking at the opposite intersection.
"Madam Feng." The two of them came forward with a smile.
"You're back?" Nanny Feng retracted her gaze. "Just now, there were two women milling around here. I don't know who they were."
When Xia heard this, she said, "Don't tell me it's a thief." She hurried into the house to check.
When Chen Heng was about to follow him into the palace, Nanny Feng stopped her and said, "Ah Heng, do you know anyone from the Duke's Mansion?" She had long regarded the Xie family as her relatives, so her way of addressing them naturally changed.
The Duke's Mansion? Chen Heng was startled. "I recognize them, but we're not close friends. Are those two women from the Duke's Mansion?"
Nanny Feng thought for a moment and nodded, "Although I don't see them often, I'm sure I recognized them correctly. One of the women should be a first-class maidservant to the daughter of the Duke's mansion."
