Jiang Lan didn't come this time; the child is too young to travel far.
But then the young son-in-law came over, probably wanting Shuyun to give him some pointers on his studies. He'll be taking the imperial examinations next year, and it's uncertain whether he'll pass and become a scholar.
"A virtuous wife brings fewer misfortunes to her husband; a good matriarch can bring prosperity to three generations."
Just you wait and see, all of Shuyun's children will be exceptional.
Our Jiangjia Village, thanks to Shuyun and her husband, has become the best village in the surrounding area.
Grandma San felt a sense of pride when she thought of the Jinshi (successful candidate in the highest imperial examination) memorial archway at the village entrance.
"Hopefully, the children seem to be doing well now, and each generation will be better than the last."
Third Aunt, after the 100-day celebration, I'll take you to see Jiang Mian and his family. Shuyun said that Jiang Mian's two children are also very hardworking in their studies.

The eldest son is doing quite well at Yi'an's estate; now, Wang Hu has even become the manager. He lives on the estate with his wife and children, both of them receive wages, and the children are all sent to school.
The aunt felt regretful, but it was too late. Fortunately, her eldest son and his wife were capable; they grew crops and vegetables, and raised pigs, earning a decent income each year.
Jiang's mother led them on a tour, but they didn't go into the breeding farm. She had heard Yi'an say that it was best to avoid breeding farms, for fear of bringing in unclean things or plagues.
