As soon as he arrived at Chijia'ao, Chi Dongyi took the initiative to look for him.
Once he changed into his official robes, the members of the Chi family, who had learned the news earlier, were even more diligent than before the Lunar New Year.
At that moment, regardless of age or gender, everyone washed their hair, wiped their bodies, and changed into new clothes.
Afterwards, at the entrance of the ancestral hall in Shangcun, in front of passersby, an incense table was set up, and people knelt on the ground to receive the imperial edict.
Ordinary people would never have the chance to see an imperial edict, let alone hear it read aloud on the spot.
Sure enough, one person led to a second, a third, and countless others; they all stopped and knelt down.
When they heard the imperial edict and were still confused about what was going on, they were stunned when their Lord Fang explained what had happened.
They had been coming here to fetch water for a long time, so they naturally learned some things about Chijia'ao.
In particular, there are more men than women in Chijia'ao, and the youngest aunt is divorced and remarried.
At first, everyone said that Chi was stupid.
Seeing that the man was about to pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, instead of enjoying a good life, she had to do something foolish and make a fuss.
There was only one child, and the widowed sister-in-law lived under the same roof.
To be honest, it's a worthless thing, so just give it to her.
Besides, the child is her own flesh and blood; how could he not recognize her as his mother in the future?
They even said that the child should be given to the widowed sister-in-law so that she wouldn't have to worry about raising him, which would be a great thing.
Now look what's happened, she's divorced with her child in tow, let's see who would want her now.
Later, when they learned that she had remarried Qin Mu, they said that he was a jinx.
Why give up a promising future scholar to be with a jinx?
She must be out of her mind to be so suicidal.
These words only gradually disappeared after Qin Mu passed the county examination and became a student of the lowest rank.
Occasionally, people would remark that she was a fool who was blessed with good fortune.
She married a scholar on her first marriage, and although her second marriage was said to be a jinx, nothing bad happened to her.
Moreover, the man was a student who had just passed the imperial examination and was about to become a scholar.
Now that the imperial edict has been issued, the first thought that comes to everyone's mind is that the foolish and blind person is actually Scholar Qi.
Chi was a blessed woman; after marrying Scholar Qi, the Qi family prospered.
After leaving Scholar Qi, the Qi family married a wealthy merchant's daughter, but things only got worse.
Can't you see he's become a cripple?
He was a perfectly good scholar, and even his teacher said he could pass the provincial examination.
Not long after the divorce, his second wife also turned out like this after only a few months.
Ultimately, it all comes down to a lack of common sense.
If she were to live a good life with the Chi family, she wouldn't be thinking of messing around.
Regardless of whether they can pass the imperial examination now, at least the Qi family deserves a share of this honor today.
No, it should be said that they belong to the Qi clan.
After all, she was considered a woman of good character.
I wonder if that good-for-nothing Qi Xiucai will be so angry he'll die if he finds out?
Just as everyone was thinking this, the sky, quite fittingly, suddenly darkened.
One by one, they came to their senses and looked towards the county town.
When they arrived, the area over there was also gloomy and overcast.
Those with experience present immediately cheered.
It's going to rain; it will rain by tomorrow at the latest.
The last time it rained here, there were white clouds first, and then they were replaced by dark clouds overnight.
This time, however, the sky suddenly darkened, turning into dark clouds.
I imagine the rain will come soon.
The imperial edict had barely been read when it started to rain, and it was about to rain over such a large area.
Does that mean that even God approves of this princess?
The more they thought about it, the happier everyone became.
