Thinking of his teacher, Xiao Lei's dark eyes deepened. His teacher was very dejected when he came out of the examination hall and didn't even go to the academy to discuss the questions with him.
It's obvious that he probably didn't perform well in this exam.
The Master's knowledge was not lacking, but the pressure was too great.
He had a wife, children, and elders to support, and he hadn't earned any money for several years. The academy fees were extremely expensive, so he had too many things to think about.
He was so fortunate that his wife and in-laws took care of all these things for him, so he only needed to focus on his studies.
That year, even his wife, who dealt with both northern and southern goods, took over his care so that he could focus on his studies.
What merit or ability does Xiao Lei possess to deserve such deep affection from them?
He now has a son, a daughter, and a wife, and he has a lot of money. He actually longs for this kind of life.
Xiao Lei closed his eyes. He seemed to know what to do, but he still needed to discuss it with his wife and parents.
It's good to be back in the village. He hasn't been back for a long time, and he misses his mother and grandparents very much.
I hope I can bring them good news when I go back this time.
He closed his eyes, held his wife, and fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, Zhao Dashu took Qi Xi out shopping. The little girl was very proud, saying, "Daddy, Mommy, goodbye big brother, I'll bring you things back!"
"Look how smug she is."
"Actually, it's great. They even bring us gifts when they go out to play."
"Yes. I think Xibao is just perfect. I hope Fu and Lihua can have such a lovely child in the future."
The two people who weren't married yet had a big argument and blushed deeply.
Zhao Xiaoyu joked, "Oh, I didn't see wrong, did I? Our shameless girl can blush now."
"Big sister!"
"Hahaha!"
When Zhao Dashu returned home, he brought back half a carload of things, some of which he had bought, and some of which his granddaughter had chosen.
"They haven't come back yet?"
"Yes, you left a little while ago and haven't come back yet."
"My goodness!" Zhao Dashu clicked his tongue. He thought he was already quite wild, but he didn't expect the women to be even more frenzied.
"I'm afraid many shops in the city are out of stock today, right? Xiao Lei, work hard to make money. Your wife and daughter seem to be quite prolific."
Xiao Lei coughed a few times, "I will try my best."
Last year, he earned about 20,000 taels of silver from the North-South Trade Company, which he gave all to his wife. This year, with his wife managing the business, it should be even better; it should be enough to cover their expenses, right?
On the day the results were announced, the Zhao family wisely did not go to see the list, but instead called two of the stronger men in the family who were better at fighting.
The two of them went to queue up in the middle of the night so they could be among the first to see the rankings.
"My goodness!"
They thought they had arrived early enough, but they were surprised to find that there were so many people who had arrived even earlier than them.
"Wait, why are you here so early?"
The man sitting on the ground, dozing off, said, "The young masters are impatient, queuing up to see the results. Are you the same?"
"We were in a hurry, and our master didn't know we came over in the middle of the night."
What a wonderful master! Why doesn't he urge them to come and line up earlier?
"We arrived just as it got dark."
sharp!
The two men lined up obediently, took out the thick mats they had brought, spread them on the ground, sat down, and wrapped themselves in quilts.
"Actually, our master definitely won't pass the exam, but he just doesn't want to believe it."
"Don't say that when you get back, or I'll sell you out."
"Of course, that's why I'm saying it here."
I don't understand why we make them line up so early. It's completely unnecessary. Year after year they line up and are disappointed. My boss is forty-five, half his hair is white, I don't understand why he's so persistent.
A group of servants sat chatting. Since they were all people who served others, they found they had quite a few things in common to talk about.
Before they knew it, dawn had broken. Nobody had eaten breakfast, and nobody thought about it. They just wanted the results to be released as soon as possible.
It was really uncomfortable waiting all night; I was cold, hungry, and sleepy.
The number of people is increasing, increasing.
