Who would have thought that a tall and strong young man in his twenties would be so bad in that aspect.
I haven't seen my wife for ten days or half a month, and when I see her, I don't even know how to be affectionate.
It's been so long since he asked for water at night. He's so useless, I wonder if his daughter-in-law dislikes him.
The two of them calmed down and went to the main room to wait.
I saw Ling Jiheng peeling walnuts for Chi Xingyue to eat.
That flattering look was simply unbearable to watch. Ling Weicheng said that he had worried for nothing.
Sitting down at the table angrily, Chi Xingyue hurriedly poured tea for her parents-in-law.
Ling Weicheng's momentum disappeared in an instant, and he asked about the shop happily.
"It's already been renovated. We're just waiting for an auspicious day to open the business and welcome guests!"
I have to say that Ling Jiheng's subordinates are all very capable.
She can handle things in an orderly manner without any instructions from her.
During this period, they not only renovated two stores, but also found three additional stores.
Although I wasn't sure what to do, I got the full amount of Jinbao.
He also helped Geng Suhua, Liang Zhijun and Ge Jinglan buy three small courtyards and some land.
"My aunt, my aunt, and my uncle all have private properties. When my eldest brother and fourth brother come back and my cousin Rui grows up, we won't have to worry about having no place for them to live."
Chi Xingyue's words were euphemistic, but Ling Weicheng could hear it.
It doesn’t matter what happens now. Once you have it settled, you won’t have to worry about having to live separately in the future.
Ling Weicheng nodded, feeling very relieved.
It didn't take long before the old lady and her family arrived.
Aunt Taohua also set out the food for tonight, filling up two large tables.
No one picked up their chopsticks, just chatting and waiting like smoke.
It seems that she has a lot of face.
Ruyan finally gained the favor of the second young master, and trotted back to Haitang Courtyard, where she hurried to change her clothes and makeup.
Finally, she came to Qingfengyuan wearing enchanting clothes. As soon as she entered the door, she was dumbfounded.
“So many people…”
After mumbling, he immediately reacted and saluted the old lady and others.
Being stared at by everyone, Ruyan felt particularly uncomfortable and unconsciously tugged at her clothes.
The old lady didn't make things difficult for her. She smiled and asked her to stand up and start the performance.
When Zhu Ruoyan heard about what happened here, she came out from Haitang Courtyard and picked up a pipa to accompany her.
Ruyan was forced to do something she was not prepared for, and she forced a smile and danced to the sound of the pipa.
Chi Xingyue watched her spinning and jumping, and winked at Ling Jiheng.
"Look, it's pretty!"
This is not a joke, it's pure appreciation.
Ling Jiheng nodded: "Yes, it's not bad."
Can be compared with the young girls in the art troupe.
The old lady also thought it was good, and after the dance was over, she gave a few compliments.
But he didn't let Ruyan leave, but let her continue dancing.
The Ling family members were not paying as much attention this time. They were attracted by the delicious food on the table and only looked up occasionally to take a few glances.
Ruyan's heart went from heaven to hell, and the smile on her face became more and more forced.
The last one was not paying attention and tripped over her skirt and fell to the ground.
Baozhu hurriedly helped the man up and checked him over.
Seeing that her palm had been scratched, she deliberately said, "Miss Ruyan, how could you be so careless? Fortunately, you didn't fall on your face, otherwise, what would you do for the rest of your life?"
Ruyan glanced at Ling Jiheng shyly, but saw that he was concentrating on picking up food for Chi Xingyue.
Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. Chi Xingyue gave Baozhu a wink and took the person away.
This little incident did not disturb the Ling family's interest. After the meal, the old lady asked Ling Jiheng: "How do you feel?"
Ling Jiheng smiled and said, "Not bad!"
“Where are Ji Yi and Min Bo?”
"I've finished writing it. I've discussed similar topics before in college, so writing the article wasn't difficult."
"The key is the entry point. It can't be the same as everyone else's. It has to be innovative."
The old lady nodded: "Rest well and get ready for the second exam."
Yes, this is just the first exam.
It is equivalent to the main examination of the college entrance examination, with a pass rate of about 20%.
After that, there will be a re-examination, and half of the candidates will be selected to pass and become Shengyuan, which is the legendary scholar.
Becoming a scholar means escaping from the poor class.
They had certain privileges, such as being exempt from the military tax and not having to kneel when attending court.
The old lady didn't put any pressure on them. She asked a few questions and then left with the old man.
The others also went back to their rooms.
Baozhu and Erzhu cleaned up the dishes and helped to boil water.
Chi Xingyue picked out an exquisite silver hairpin from her dressing box and asked the two of them to give it to Ruyan.
"Just tell her that tonight's show was great, I liked it, and tell her to keep up the good work!"
The two men took orders and left with lanterns.
Chi Xingyue and Ling Jiheng entered the space and came to the Lingquan River, laughing and playing.
In Fanghua Courtyard, Ruyan was unable to stay overnight in Qingfeng Courtyard, and she lay on the table crying sadly.
Xue'er and Shuang'er seemed to be comforting him, but in fact they were gloating over his misfortune.
Ruyan didn't want to make a fool of herself, so she drove them out.
When Baozhu walked in, she saw a pair of red and swollen eyes.
He placed the box on the table and relayed what the Second Young Master's wife had said.
Ruyan looked at the silver hairpin inlaid with two pearls on the brocade, and her heart suddenly brightened.
He stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Madam Second Young Master."
Baozhu nodded and turned to leave.
Ruyan immediately picked up the hairpin and put it on her head.
Although her eyes were swollen, the entire hairpin sparkled under the light, looking incredibly beautiful.
Ruyan stopped crying, held the hairpin in her arms, and became even more envious of the Ling family's wealth.
