Chapter 407 Double Happiness
The Su Mansion was bustling with activity. Except for Su Shiyan and Su Chenyan, everyone else came back to report the good news that the children had all been admitted to mathematics.
The two gentlemen we invited are proficient in mathematics examinations, familiar with the examiner's question-setting style, and are very targeted in their tutoring.
The children had no paper or pen this year and practiced writing by using a flour sieve filled with soil. They absorbed knowledge bit by bit and cherished the learning opportunity very much.
Su Boyan and his students are truly talented and knowledgeable. Their lessons to the children are pure and unadulterated, full of practical information.
Su Ying's wild imagination and novel knowledge allowed them to think without constraints and expose themselves to knowledge and ideas that their contemporaries and peers could not access.
Born in the lower class and going through hardships, he traveled all the way to study and see all kinds of social aspects. His knowledge and experience far exceeded his peers.
During the exam, he was far ahead of other common people's children in scripture pasting, oral examination and professional skills, and successfully topped the list.
"Thank you, sir!" The children bowed to thank the two gentlemen.
The two gentlemen were very pleased. This was the most promising class they had ever taught, and it was also the most proud thing in their entire teaching career.
Hu Zi, Xie Jinan, Ah He and other children who were adopted by old friends were taught by famous teachers hired by their old friends and made rapid progress.
The Su family hired a few servants to take care of the family. At this moment, everyone in the Su family raised their glasses to celebrate and envisioned a bright future.
Qin Fangcheng's wounded heart was comforted when he saw that his three grandsons all performed well in the exam. His Qin family's descendants were not bad either!
Wear gorgeous clothes, drink rice wine, eat meat, and don’t have to starve or sleep on the streets in the cold wind.
If only my wife and my son were still alive, it would be so wonderful for us to live together in this mansion and enjoy life!
It’s a pity that both my son and my wife are gone, and I am left alone to enjoy this belated wealth and glory. How boring!
Qin Fangcheng drank rice wine, cried and laughed, and finally got himself drunk.
While the Su family was celebrating, some people were crying.
"Mother! Please save my father!" Wang Zhihua found his mother-in-law and cried.
Wang Duanfang was stripped of his official position and exiled to Danzhou. Minister Lu and his wife suppressed the news and did not mention it at home.
The Wang family members in the court would not take the initiative to inform Wang Zhihua.
It was only after Wang Duanfang bribed the yamen runners and wrote a letter and sent it back to Chang'an that Wang Zhihua found out.
She cried and asked her mother-in-law for help, after all, she was also a member of the Wang family.
Wang Zhaoyun drank his tea silently, feeling a sense of confusion in his heart.
This second daughter-in-law is becoming more and more unruly. She only knows how to cry and has no opinion of her own. After half a year of marriage, there is no sign of pregnancy.
From Wang Duanfang's letter, I realized how powerful the girl from the Su family, whose engagement he had broken off, was.
He unexpectedly became a seventh-rank inspector and set a trap for Wang Duanfang.
Wang Duanfang's letter did not mention the immoral things he had done, but only said that the Fulon caravan was a trap and he was captured by the provincial army without knowing it.
He even forged an imperial edict, urging Wang Zhaoyun to reach the heaven to redress his grievances and conduct a thorough investigation of Wuzhou.
After reading the letter, Wang Zhaoyun was not surprised to know that even without Su Ying's plan, Wang Duanfang would have been dismissed.
Surprisingly, the girl from the Su family mentioned in Wang Duanfang’s letter did not seem to be the same person he knew!
In her impression, Su Ying was intelligent and knowledgeable, but definitely not someone with such sharp and ruthless methods.
Otherwise, he would not have been so ashamed and angry when his engagement was broken off that he collapsed not long after leaving the city.
Alas, it would be great if the second daughter-in-law had such means and strategies. This is what a girl from a noble family should have.
She is calm in the face of difficulties, has means and strategy, and is a perfect candidate to be the mistress of the house! It's a pity that she comes from a poor family!
Wang Zhaoyun began to doubt his original decision, and even suspected that his eyesight was poor, and he lost the gold and picked up a piece of shit to go home!
"Mother, mother! Tell my father to write a petition quickly. The people in Wuzhou are colluding with each other to frame my father!"
Wang Zhihua wiped her tears and looked at her mother-in-law with tears in her eyes. I felt pity for her.
"Okay, why are you crying?" Wang Zhaoyun put down the teacup heavily. He couldn't stand the behavior of such a poor family. Is this the daughter of the Wang family?
"The emperor issued the decree a month ago!" Wang Chaoyun did not hide it, "There's no point in making a fuss!"
She didn't want her husband to attract attention again. Last time, she cooperated with Wang Duanfang and designed to drag the Su family into trouble.
In the end, he lost more than he gained. The Su family was fine, but Wang Duanfang was the one who suffered.
Of course, she would not tell her second daughter-in-law these inside stories. Her second daughter-in-law was not smart enough and might cause trouble one day.
"?" Wang Zhihua stared blankly at her mother-in-law. "Mother, what did you say? It was given a month ago?"
It took Wang Zhihua a long time to realize that his parents-in-law had known about it for a long time but had hidden it from him. He had to watch helplessly as his father was stripped of his title and dismissed from office.
"Mother, why don't you send someone to Danzhou to deliver some things? Life in Lingnan is hard enough, and Danzhou is even more remote, an isolated island. How can we survive there?"
Wang Zhihua begged.
"Erlang's wife, just live your own life! Have a baby soon, the rest is not your concern!" Wang Zhaoyun sighed.
"Mother! It's not like that!" Wang Zhihua shook her head.
How could she feel at ease when her parents were suffering on an isolated island thousands of miles away and she turned a blind eye to their suffering and lived a life of luxury with food and clothes provided for her?
"Erlang took the Imperial College entrance exam, I wonder if he passed? You're already a wife of the Lu family, so focus more on your husband! Don't cry all day, it's bad luck!"
Wang Chaoyun said coldly.
“?” Wang Zhihua was stunned, tears welling up in her eyes.
"I'm tired!" Wang Chaoyun stood up. He didn't want to look at this sad face. It was New Year's Day and it would be unlucky if he looked at it too much.
“Woo…”
Wang Chaoyun heard the sobbing of his second daughter-in-law behind him. He shook his head and said that she could not stand it and could only cry.
"Second Young Master's Madam!" A maid's cry came from inside the room.
Wang Zhaoyun paused and turned back, only to see Wang Zhihua fainted.
"What are you still standing there for? Go call the court doctor!" Wang Zhaoyun shouted.
So a servant ran to call the palace doctor, and the maids carried Wang Zhihua to the couch.
After a while, the court doctor came panting and took the patient's pulse for a long time without saying anything.
Wang Zhaoyun sat there quietly, waiting for the pulse diagnosis results.
"Congratulations, Madam! Congratulations, Madam!" the court doctor bowed, "The Second Young Master's wife is pregnant! She's been pregnant for over a month!"
"What?" Wang Chaoyun was stunned. After a long while, he said happily, "Great, great! Reward!"
"Thank you, Madam. The Second Young Master's wife is feeling depressed and her pregnancy is unstable. She should relieve the depression and not worry too much, otherwise..."
The court doctor hesitated.
"Otherwise what?" Wang Zhaoyun stared at the court physician.
"Otherwise the fetus will be in danger!" the court doctor said stiffly.
Wang Zhihua, who woke up slowly, was surprised for only three seconds. When he heard the words, his eyes turned red, his mind was in a state of confusion, and his hands were on his abdomen.
"Doctor, I invite you to come to my house to treat me. Please keep my family healthy and safe!" Wang Zhaoyun said slowly.
"Thank you for your hard work! When the Second Young Master's wife gives birth safely, there will be a generous reward!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
"Where is the second young master? Where did he go? Go and call him back!" Wang Zhaoyun asked.
"Madam, the servant next to Erlang just reported that Erlang passed the promotion test and is celebrating with his classmates outside drinking." A steward replied.
"I understand. Go ahead!" Wang Chaoyun smiled with satisfaction and waved his hand.
Sitting in front of the bed, he held his second daughter-in-law's hand and said softly, "Erlang's wife, Erlang has been admitted to the Imperial College, and you are pregnant, so it is a double blessing for our family.
Rest assured and take care of your pregnancy. Give birth to your child next year. Erlang is calm and stable, and you two will live a happy and harmonious life together."
