"Yes, yes, Master Wei has become a scholar." The servant ran all the way to Shou'an Courtyard with a smile on his face to announce the good news.
The good news of Sheng Wei's passing the exam made everyone in the courtyard happy, and everyone present was delighted.
Mr. Sheng stopped coughing and said in a full voice, "Okay, okay, Butler Song, give this kid double the red envelope."
Butler Song agreed, and the servant knelt down to thank him and left.
One leg of Sheng Huaizhong, the eldest son of the Sheng family, has healed, but he can only walk with the help of a cane. His face, stained with licentiousness, showed he had indulged excessively. He stroked his beard and said, "Brother Wei is indeed a good man. His father's teachings to him were not in vain."
Li Yuxin, the eldest wife of the Sheng family, lowered her head and rolled her eyes, thinking to herself, it’s a good thing Wei Ge’er didn’t learn from you, otherwise, hehe...
Sheng Huaifeng from the third room smiled and congratulated Sheng Huaizhong: "Brother, congratulations, let's have a couple more drinks at the banquet."
Sheng Huaizhong was very happy to be complimented: "Okay, don't pretend to be drunk, kid."
Sheng Huaifeng smiled and nodded, then he bowed to Old Man Sheng and said, "Father, since Wei Ge'er is so successful, we should hold a banquet for a few more days to let the villagers share in the joy."
Old Master Sheng nodded repeatedly and said to Li Yuxin, "Daughter-in-law, you will be in charge of this matter. Just ask Butler Song for the money." He turned to Butler Song and said, "You must do your job well this time and make no mistakes."
Li Yuxin stood up and bowed in response, then returned to her seat. The third wife smiled and congratulated Li Yuxin, and the two of them whispered for a while.
Sheng Huaizhong watched Sheng Huaifeng finish what he was going to say, and the joy in his heart suddenly disappeared. He glared at Sheng Huaifeng and said, "Father, Wei Ge'er is thirteen years old, it's time to get married."
Old Master Sheng waved his hand and said, "Brother Wei is still young, and he needs to focus on his studies in the next few years. He can't delay. If Brother Wei can pass the imperial examination in three years, he will have more in-laws to choose from."
Then, thinking about Sheng Huaizhong's style, he warned him again: "Boss, don't just drink a few pounds of cat urine and agree to any marriage with Wei Ge'er. If you really dare to do such a thing, I will break your other leg."
Sheng Huaixin felt a pain in his heart, and his leg, which had already healed, began to feel a little pain. His face was pale and pale, and he replied, "Don't worry, father, I dare not."
Old Master Sheng was very unhappy when he saw Sheng Huaizhong's lackluster appearance. But thinking about Li Yuxin's confidence, he nodded and said to her, "Daughter-in-law, you still have to check Wei Ge'er's marriage. It's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. In the future, Wei Ge'er's daughter-in-law can only enter the house with your approval."
Li Yuxin smiled slightly: "Yes, father."
In his previous life, when Sheng Wei married Li, Sheng Huaizhong had already squandered the family fortune. Li's grandfather, Old Master Li, was a kindhearted man, remembering his bond with Old Master Sheng, and wanted to marry his legitimate granddaughter to Sheng Wei. However, the eldest lady of the Li family, unwilling to let her own daughter suffer, resorted to trickery and had a concubine's daughter marry into the Sheng family instead.
Li Yuxin thought of Sheng Wei's wife in her previous life, Li Shi. Li Shi's personality was friendly and compatible with her. However, in this life, Sheng Wei had achieved fame and success. If he wanted to advance further in the officialdom, he could no longer marry into a merchant family.
Li Yuxin has no idea now and can only take things one step at a time. Sheng Wei respected his wife in his previous life, and the three or two kittens in the backyard were also very well-behaved and did not cause any trouble.
