"Qingyun, while we wait for you to take a day off, let's go to Taoyuan Township to congratulate our uncle."
Zhao Yongwen is the only support Zhao Xiaojuan can currently hold on to. She weighed the situation and felt that she still could not sever her relationship with her uncle's family.
Back then, the whole family saved money and sent my uncle to school. Even though his parents are no longer alive, they should have a share of the wealth and glory that belong to the Zhao family.
"Hmph, I won't go. If you want to go, go by yourself." Li Qingyun looked down on a juren, let alone a juren with no power or influence.
When I was adopted into the Duke's Mansion, my grandfather and uncle ignored me. They didn't like me, and I wouldn't bother with them.
Zhao Xiaojuan pursed her lips and smiled helplessly, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. I'll ask my brother if he wants to go."
After turning around, Zhao Xiaojuan spat in disgust.
Li Qingyun is a big fool. He thinks that as long as he lives in the Duke's Mansion, he will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
He didn't even think about the fact that the Duke's grandson hated him so much. When the Duke was unhappy, he would definitely be kicked out. What would he do when that time came?
Zhao Xiaojuan only figured out these principles recently, thanks to her daily visits to the teahouse to listen to storytelling books. The stories in the storybooks contain countless philosophies.
Zhao Xiaojuan regretted that when she left Taoyuan Township, she had a falling out with her uncle and did not leave herself any way out.
But, so what? She believed that as long as she admitted her mistake sincerely, her uncle would definitely forgive her. He always said that they were a family and even if the bones were broken, the tendons were still connected.
This time when they went to Taoyuan Township, Zhao Xiaojuan also planned to persuade her elder brother to build a house on the homestead allocated to them, which would also be a way out for them as a family in the future.
Li Qingyun has a way out in the capital, and they, the brothers and sisters, should also have a way out.
Big brother has earned more than ten taels of silver, which should be enough to build a house. If there is not enough, you can ask Qingyun for it. As long as you tell big brother that you can marry a wife after the house is built, big brother will definitely be happy.
As for whether Li Qingyun was willing or not, Zhao Xiaojuan was not worried at all because he had the leverage in her hands.
When Li Qingyun arrived at the Duke's Mansion, he ran into Old Madam Li. "Qingyun went out to play?" She asked with a smile on her face and concern.
Now that her grandson has come to find her, and she has adopted another grandson, she now has two grandchildren. She lives a very comfortable life and her health has improved a lot.
Before Li Qingyun could answer, Duke Weiguo came in from outside and asked in confusion, "Qingyun, who was that little girl just now? What did you talk about?"
Li Qingyun was so frightened that he didn't dare to lie, and answered honestly, "That's my eldest sister. She just came to tell me that Zhao's uncle passed the imperial examination."
These are all facts, he is not afraid of investigation, he is just afraid that Duke Weiguo and others will blame him for having private dealings with people from the Zhao family.
"Hey, your uncle is so powerful?" Old Madam Li exclaimed in amazement.
Although the number of candidates has decreased significantly this time, it still requires certain skills to pass the exam.
"Since your elder sister has come to tell you, prepare a gift tomorrow and go to congratulate her in person." Duke Weiguo was a military general himself, but he liked scholars.
Since Uncle Zhao was able to pass the imperial examination, he must be an extremely talented scholar.
"Okay, I'll go help Qingyun prepare." Old Lady Li smiled, turned around and left.
Duke Weiguo was truly thinking about Li Qingyun, "Qingyun, our Li family has few relatives in the capital, and there are few people in the officialdom who can support you.
You and Heng'er can only help each other, but now that your uncle has passed the imperial examination, he will definitely enter the officialdom in the future. You are uncle and nephew, and this relationship cannot be severed."
Li Qingyun nodded obediently. He would never resist the orders of Duke Weiguo and others.
