The three young men formed a team of thirty people and headed straight to the northwest.
Gu Qingcheng sent her youngest son away crying. The poor "widowed mother" was left with only herself and her n nieces to serve her.
The Huo family's huge courtyard on the west side also seemed empty.
"A juren at the age of fifteen, a young hero at the age of twelve! These two sons of the Zhao family, one a scholar and one a warrior, will surely prosper in the future."

"...Let's wait another three years. If Zhao Qingyun can pass the imperial examination, he'd be a good candidate!"
Mr. Huo, who should have been lonely, did not feel lonely because his grandson had left.
He sat on the porch, looking towards the east, and whispered to his wife.
"You are still shallow after all. However, the young master's body——"
Madam Yang was somewhat unwilling.
But when she thought of certain "realities", she couldn't help but sigh.
…
Three years passed in a flash.
After getting married, Zheng Wanjun was busy competing for the best, opening a shop, and having children.
Ji Keji was not in a hurry to take part in the Spring Examination.
He knew in his heart that he started studying too late, and it was a miracle that he could pass the examinations to become a scholar and a juren.
There seems to be a magical power in the dark.
This allows him to always perform exceptionally well in the exam.
After the exam, he looked back at his own article and felt “amazed”.
Is this the article I wrote?
As if by some strange coincidence, he tried to solve the same topic again and write again. The article he wrote was completely different from the one he wrote in the exam hall!
Ji Keji knew that this should be his true level.
And in the examination room, he seemed to be protected by a certain halo, which was why he had a smooth journey!
As for that halo——
Ji Keji subconsciously looked in the direction of Zhao Qingyun's house.
Yes, not next door.
After marrying Zheng Wanjun, Ji Keji moved out of the Zheng family.
Relying on the dividends from his printing shop and the "gift money" from some families after he passed the imperial examination, Ji Keji bought a small two-story house on the street in front of the academy.
He is not a son-in-law, nor is he an incompetent man who relies on his wife's dowry.
He was grateful for the care of his husband and father-in-law, and respected his capable wife, but he always remembered that his surname was Ji, not Zheng!
After getting married and moving, Ji Keji continued to study with Mr. Zheng.
He realized his problem and worked harder.
He showed the same enthusiasm as when he worked in the bookstore, studying at the same time, and devoted all his time to studying.
Out of twelve hours in a day, I only sleep for two.
Every day I go back and forth between home, the academy and the Zheng family.
He left all the household affairs, including his parents, siblings, and a group of top people in the old house to Zheng Wanjun.
If it were any other woman, she might feel pressured and emotional.
But, Zheng Wanjun won’t!
She was a strong and independent woman, and she had seen her mother, Wan Niangzi, taking care of everything at home since she was a child.
So, these things at home are not troubles to her, but challenges.
"No! You've already spent over your allowance this month, so you can't advance next month's allowance."
Zheng Wanjun already behaves like the mistress of the house.
The incompetent brother-in-law dared not act up under her dominance.
"Father, Mother, please don't give Xiao Qilang money secretly. Two taels of silver a month is enough for an average family to spend in half a year, but Xiao Qilang spent it all in just a few days."
The Ji family is not a wealthy family, and they cannot afford to have a playboy.
Besides, Zheng Wanjun knew better than anyone what the Ji family was like originally.
Humph, if it weren't for the Zheng family, could the Ji family live the good life they have now, with slaves and maids to employ and two taels of silver per month?
Fortunately, although my parents-in-law are a little naive, they are obedient.
The sister-in-law is also a bit top-notch, and Zheng Wanjun can easily control her.
Overall, Zheng Wanjun is very satisfied with his family situation and his status in the family.
Now she just has to wait for next spring's imperial examination. If her husband gets among the top three, she, the heroine of the imperial examination, will become a true winner in life.
After teaching his brother-in-law a lesson and "persuading" his parents-in-law, Zheng Wanjun supported his waist and slowly walked towards his main room.
She didn't notice that behind her, her brother-in-law, parents-in-law, etc. all had angry looks on their faces.
"Mother, my sister-in-law is too domineering!"
"Yes, Big Brother is indeed where he is today thanks to Mr. Zheng, but, but Sister-in-law has already married Big Brother."
"That's right, since I married into the Ji family, I am the daughter-in-law of the Ji family. Which daughter-in-law is as disrespectful to her parents-in-law and mean to her uncle and aunt-in-law as she is?"
Ji Xiaodi and Ji Xiaomei, one on the left and one on the right, complained to Ji Sanlang and his wife in their ears.
"Don't talk nonsense! From now on, you must listen to your sister-in-law!"
Ji Sanlang also felt aggrieved, but he knew that his son had not yet passed the imperial examination and became an official.
Their Ji family still needs to rely on the Zheng family as a big tree...
