Everyone was envious.
The news also spread to Kyoto early the next morning.
The list of successful candidates from each class at the North and South Academy was posted on the bulletin board outside the academy.
Regardless of the class, three of the top ten students in the first two classes had the surname Tian…
Everyone was saying, "Are they a family?"
If they're a family, then this family is really amazing.
Suddenly someone shouted, "I know them, they're family, Tian Yihong and Tian Yifan are brothers."
"And the one in the college entrance exam class is their fourth uncle."
This caused quite a stir.
In just one morning, the Tian family became an instant sensation in Kyoto for simultaneously producing three candidates.
Since it's so popular, Old Master Tian's family naturally found out about it.
Since he was injured last time, Boss Tian has been lying in bed.
It wasn't that he didn't want to get out of bed, but his injuries were too severe; every time he tried to get out, his legs would give way and he couldn't stand up.
Therefore, he almost thought that he would never be able to stand up again.
He was so frightened that he took him to see many doctors.
The doctors all said it was a side effect of the medication and that I needed to rest for a month before I could walk again.
But all they said was that they were going to get back on their feet and walk again.
Whether it can be restored to its original state is unknown.
Tian Laoda didn't notice this detail; his focus was on the "side effects."
He asked the doctor what kind of medicine he was taking that had such side effects.
The doctor replied, "It's not a problem with the medication; it's because you overdosed on the wound medication!"
Tian Laoda then went to Qian Shi to ask what exactly happened.
The Qian family had already prepared with their father, so they naturally shifted the blame to the servant who was beaten to death.
What else could Boss Tian do?
He had no choice but to accept it!
It's been over a month now, and he tries to walk around every day. His legs are still a little weak, but they've clearly improved.
Today, he will get out of bed and walk again.
A servant suddenly came to report that three members of the Tian family had passed the entrance exams for the North and South Academies and that the Tian family wanted to celebrate.
Although Tian Laoda has severed ties with the Tian family, the Tian family caused him injury, so he has recently had people secretly keeping an eye on the Tian family's movements.
He didn't think much of it when he learned that Tian Yihong and Tian Laosi had passed the exam.
It's just a North-South Academy.
Back in the day, he had passed the entrance exams for both the North and South Academies, so it wasn't a big deal.
But Tian Yifan. If the Tian family has nothing to do with him anymore, and has even become his enemies, then Tian Yifan is his flesh and blood.
He hurriedly asked the servant, "Are you sure Tian Yifan came in second place in the preliminary examination?"
The servant confirmed.
Old Master Tian's mind started to wander.
He has been married to Ms. Qian for two years, but she has not yet conceived. So, could he bring Tian Yifan back and raise him properly? Who knows, he might become a great help to her in the future.
Old Master Tian thought it was time to act immediately.
He immediately ordered his servant to find out when the North and South Academies would open, and to continue keeping an eye on the Tian family. Tian Yifan was to inform him as soon as he arrived at the academy.
The servant agreed and hurried off.
Old Tian called out to him again, "How's that Guo girl from last time?"
His sudden question about Guo Shi caught the servant off guard.
After all, it hadn't been mentioned for a month.
The servant thought for a while before remembering that Xie Xiaohua had been injured by Guo Shi last time.
Because Guo had extorted money from the Tian family, the servant reported the matter of Guo and her daughter to Tian Laoda.
Old Master Tian wanted to use the Guo family to deal with the Tian family.
He then had his servant give Guo 10 taels of silver.
Yesterday, when the servant secretly went to Anping Village, he visited Guo.
Xie Xiaohua is now fine.
After thinking for a moment, Tian Laoda beckoned to his servant to come closer and whispered a few words of advice in his ear.
The servant agreed and went to do it immediately.
Meanwhile, on the Tian family's side...
Last month, Grandma Tian discovered that her chickens and ducks were laying two eggs a day.
She pickled a jar of duck eggs.
In addition, two pots of braised pork offal were prepared, one pot to be used for today's banquet, and the other pot to be sold by Tian Lao Er and his men.
The banquet is scheduled for the evening.
The weather has warmed up considerably recently, and it's cool to sit in the yard and eat in the evening.
There are several dishes tonight, and Grandma Tian plans to have Tian Yiming cook them all.
This really upset the chubby boy.
He was especially anxious when he saw his brothers taking their sister to catch fish in the village river!
Old Mrs. Tian could easily see through his intentions.
Pry open a duck egg that has just been pickled and give it to him, the yolk just starting to ooze oil.
"Yiming, how about trying this egg yolk?"
Tian Yiming tearfully took the egg yolk and ate it.
It was delicious, but...
He still wants to catch fish!
But you've already been caught by your grandma, where else do you think you can catch fish?
Just stay home and do your chores!
They were busy here, while outside by the river.
Leaving aside the Tian family boys who had already started catching fish, let's talk about Ding Zhaodi, who had just brought up the bucket of water...
Then Guo arrived. "Oh, sister-in-law, you're busy."
Guo suddenly appeared and patted Ding Zhaodi on the back, startling Ding Zhaodi so much that she stumbled.
My foot slipped...
She suddenly "slipped" into the river.
But is Ding Zhaodi the kind of person who shoulders all the difficulties herself?
He grabbed Guo's arm. Both of them felt a chill run through them!
Now that's bad, Guo is wet, and the things in her pockets have also become useless.
She was so angry that she didn't care to talk to Ding Zhaodi anymore. She just climbed out of the river and ran home.
The Xie family.
Tian Laoda's servant was waiting outside the Xie family's house. When he saw Guo Shi return, the servant did not pay attention to the fact that she was covered in water and hurriedly asked her.
"How did things go?" Guo cursed. "Don't even mention it! I was about to pour what you gave me into that idiot's bucket!"
"And then, that idiot suddenly fell into the river!"
"You mean she fell, fine, but she had to drag me down with her!"
"Oh no, this is bad!"
As he spoke, he pulled a wet piece of paper out of his pocket!
The servant's face instantly turned dark.
He cursed, "Idiot!"
Fortunately, the servant had prepared in advance, and took out another white paper package from his pocket and handed it to her, saying, "Be careful this time!"
Guo paused for a moment before taking it.
His face showed obvious signs of tension as he asked, "What... what is this? No, it won't kill someone, will it?"
The servant tricked him, saying, "Don't worry, it's just a sleeping potion!"
Guo asked, puzzled, "Why do you want me to put sleeping pills on the Tian family?"
The servant frowned, "That's not something you should be asking!"
Guo was so frightened that she trembled and hurriedly ran home, afraid that the servant would beat her later, but she was complaining under her breath.
"What's with the attitude? If you're so capable, why do you need me to do your chores? Can't you just ask? What a pain!"
"snort!"
While she was chatting, she went inside and changed her clothes.
Just as he was about to head out to continue looking for Ding Zhaodi, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Think back to what that servant said at the door…
He said it was just a "date rape drug".
But if it really was a drug, then why bother looking for her? And even if it was just a drug…
What was the servant's purpose?
Could it be that he's planning to steal from the Tian family? Madam Guo immediately imagined all sorts of things, and ultimately decided that if that servant really wanted to steal from the Tian family, she couldn't afford to pay for it!
She can't take the blame for this!
She opened the medicine in her pocket and divided the medicine and the wrapping paper into two portions.
He took one of the portions and ran to Ding Zhaodi's room, putting it inside her clothes, in case the truth came out...
Then let Ding Zhaodi take the blame!
It just so happened that Xie Daniu wasn't home, so Guo's business went very smoothly.
Then she went to the riverbank.
Ding Zhaodi had already taken the buckets back, but as usual, she would come back to fetch water again.
