Two young scholars became successful candidates in the imperial examinations in the street behind the academy, and the entire street was in an uproar.
They all came out to join in the fun.
Mr. Zheng and Gu Qingcheng both ordered people to set off many firecrackers at the street corner and outside the gate.
With the crackling sounds and noisy congratulations, the whole street became a sea of joy.
Even at the old house of the Ji family, which had already torn apart relations with the third branch of the Ji family, Old Man Ji also flattered the old man and squeezed in with his children and grandchildren.
His always rogue and arrogant face was filled with smiles——
"Haha! Yes, my little Shiro passed the imperial examination!"
"Thanks to our ancestors' protection. We'll go to the mountains outside the city to worship them in a few days!"
"What? The third branch has already split up! Bullshit! Even if they're kicked out, they're still my offspring!"
"Xiao Shilang Xin Ji, he will always be a descendant of the Ji family!"
Neighbors: ...
This old rascal has such a thick face!
After such a big fight with the third wife, you still have the nerve to come to my house?
Haha, you still have the nerve to say "descendants of the Ji family". Since Xiao Shilang is from the Ji family, why has he always lived in the Zheng family?
Now that he had passed the imperial examination, the government officials came to announce the good news, and he went straight to the Zheng family.
Old Man Ji: ...Just don’t worry about it!
Anyway, Ji Xiaosi didn’t marry into the family, so he is the descendant of my Ji family!
Marry into the wife's family? !
Old Man Ji's smug smile froze in an instant. He cast a sinister glance with his triangular eyes at Mr. Zheng, who was overjoyed, and Mrs. Wan, who was busy entertaining the neighbors.
In Old Man Ji’s opinion, people in the world will not do anything without profit.
No one will do business at a loss.
Mr. Zheng accepted Xiao Silang as his student, and took care of his food and studies. His enthusiasm for Xiao Silang was no less than that for his own son.
But Xiao Silang is not Mr. Zheng’s biological son. The Ji family does have a young lady.
Could it be that from the very beginning, Mr. Zheng wanted Xiao Silang to be his son-in-law?
This won’t do!
Xiao Shilang is the offspring of the Ji family.
The Ji family had been living in the city for generations, and they had finally found a talented student who could study, and they couldn't let the Zheng family snatch him away.
However, Old Man Ji is self-aware.
He knew that although his grandson, Xiao Shilang, appeared gentle and filial, he had actually long since turned away from him.
“…Luckily, there’s still the third brother!”
As a father, Old Man Ji knows his son very well.
Don’t think that in the past two years, Ji Sanlang seems to have really become estranged from the old house.
But this son is the most filial at heart, and he also wants the most to be recognized and praised by his parents.
Let's take a step back and say that even if Ji Sanlang really became an ungrateful person.
As his biological father, Old Man Ji has the absolute authority to crush him.
Dare to be unfilial?
Old man Ji can turn the world upside down and end up with everyone dead!
He is just an old rascal in the city. He is almost sixty years old now. He dares to do anything!
"Marry into the wife's family? No! No! Mr. Zheng is just a husband. He also wants to betroth Miss Zheng to Xiao Silang, but he has never proposed that Xiao Silang marry into the wife's family!"
"...Besides, Mr. Zheng has sons at home, more than one!"
After hearing what Old Man Ji said, Ji Sanlang and his wife, two honest men, shook their heads and waved their hands, desperately denying it.
"Humph! That's good! You two should wake up and don't lose your son!"
When Old Man Ji saw that Ji Sanlang and his wife denied it vehemently and did not seem to be lying, he felt relieved.
Before leaving, he repeated several instructions.
The gist of it is, keep an eye on Xiao Silang, hold on to your son, and don't let the most promising grandson of the Ji family fall into the hands of outsiders!
Ji Sanlang agreed repeatedly and sent Old Man Ji out.
Looking at the deserted door of his house, he listened attentively to the noise coming from the street behind him.
Ji Sanlang and his wife suddenly became uncertain again.
Madam Ji San sighed softly, "Xiao Silang really won't marry into the family! But, but how is this different from marrying into the family?"
When the son passed the imperial examination, everyone went to the teacher's house, but his own home was left cold and lonely!
The hearts of the couple were shrouded in a shadow.
Afterwards, Mr. Zheng decided to marry his beloved daughter to his beloved disciple.
Ji Sanlang and his wife, who should have been overjoyed, had a very forced smile and were not very enthusiastic about this marriage.
Mr. Zheng was only concerned with being happy, and he was a "noble" and "proud" person by nature, and he didn't care about anything other than studying.
Mr. Zheng did not notice anything unusual about Ji Sanlang and his wife, and even if he did, he would not care.
Wan Niangzi and Zheng Wanjun both saw it.
The mother and daughter's originally happy mood seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water.
"This Ji Sanlang couple is still so confused!"
Madam Wan gritted her teeth and cursed inwardly.
Alas, she had said long ago that Xiao Shilang was good in everything except that he had such an unreliable group of family members.
Zheng Wanjun smiled coldly, "Mother, don't worry, I can handle it!"
Aren’t they just the best in-laws, a must-have for the heroine of a farming novel? In one word - fight, it’s all over.
For some unknown reason, Zheng Wanjun even became excited and filled with fighting spirit.
…
Two young scholars became successful candidates in the imperial examinations in Heyin County, and the new magistrate was very excited. He personally went to the Zheng and Zhao families to congratulate them.
Sixteen-year-old Ji Keji and fifteen-year-old Zhao Qingyun, one has dark skin but is handsome, the other is handsome and fickle, with a look better than Pan An.
When the new magistrate saw this, he couldn't help but feel happy.
He even thought of his several daughters.
However, Ji Keji was already engaged to the beloved daughter of his mentor, Mr. Zheng.
