Houmen Fenghua: Meet the best evil mother-in-law

Chapter 279

Yao Anxin was thoughtful: "Well, my granddaughter knows."

She has been in Jinling for a while, and it is indeed time to go out for a walk.

What's more, it looks like the old lady is planning to make her home here. If there are no accidents, her future marriage is likely to be here as well. It's time for her to build up her contacts...

Yao Anling, who was sitting on the side, rolled her eyes, and hugged Gu Qingling's arm coquettishly: "Old Madam, if someone invites my cousin to go out to play, can I go together? My cousin has such a good temper, I'm afraid that she will be alone Go out and be bullied, take me to be safe. In case someone bullies her, I can come back and complain to the old lady."

Gu Qingling smiled and pinched Yao Anling's nose: "You still speak so openly when I sue you, and I'm not afraid that your cousin will be angry with you and say that you report to her every day."

"No, cousin is the best," Yao Anling changed the target of coquetry to Yao Anxin, "Don't you think so, cousin?"

Yao Anxin laughed immediately, and said, "Yes, yes, how dare I be angry with you, you have finished all my small reports for a year by yourself."

In the next few days, Yao's house was very lively, and there were many people who came to pay New Year's greetings.

Mrs. Yao was very troubled by all kinds of human relations.

As for Mrs. Yao Er, she received many new posts and wanted to discuss cooperation with her this year.

While the women were busy, Uncle Yao, Second Master Yao, Third Master Yao, and Yao Anhong were imprisoned by Gu Qingling in a separate courtyard and asked them to do the last "devil training" before the county test.

Gu Qingling didn't want them to suffer, but they had to go through the county examination process so that they knew what they were doing and prepared mentally in advance.

After all, no one knows what kind of questions will arise in the exam room.

"No matter what happens in the examination room, we must remember that the sky is big and the earth is big, and your safety is the greatest. I hope you can go in and come out safely."

"Although the test result is very important, no matter how important it is, it is not as important as your body, you know?"

……

Gu Qingling did the final psychological work for them, asking them to put themselves in the position of "doing your best" instead of "fighting with your life".

It's not that their family is so poor that they can't get rid of the pot. Only after they pass the exam can they have rice for the pot, so as long as they prepare hard and take the exam well, the rest depends on fate.

"Yes, old matriarch/mother, we know."

After Gu Qingling finished speaking, she asked Mrs. Yao, Second Mrs. Yao, and Third Mrs. Yao to prepare the things of the four of them, ordered the accompanying servants, and sent them out of the house with everyone in the Yao family.

In February, the weather is still a little cool, and many people are still wearing thin cotton.

It was still dark when they went out.

But even so, when they arrived at the entrance of the examination room, there was already a long queue outside.

"Such a long line?"

Looking at the long dragon, Mrs. Zhu Er felt a little distressed.

Second Master Yao is strong and strong, he will be fine if he gets cold for a while, but what about her son Hong?
Brother Hong is only very old, and his bones have been weak since he was born. Now he has finally recovered a little bit, if...

She hesitated to speak.

Gu Qingling pretended not to see it, and asked Uncle Yao, Second Master Yao, Third Master Yao, and Yao Anhong to get out of the carriage, and told them to queue up quickly so as not to delay entering the venue.

If you want to follow the path of the imperial examination, you have to endure this hardship.

If you can't even bear this suffering, then give up as soon as possible and choose another path.

Gu Qingling believed that apart from the imperial examination, few of the men in the Yao family were willing to do anything else.Scholars, farmers, businessmen, they can't be farmers, they can't be craftsmen, they can't go to be the lowest businessmen, right?

Every businessman in the family wants to climb up. What else can they do besides the imperial examination?
"Old Madam, Brother Hong is not in good health, or...wait until he is a few years older?" Second Mrs. Yao couldn't hold back in the end, and said to Gu Qingling with some worry.

Gu Qingling glanced at her, then raised her chin slightly: "Ask Brother Hong yourself to see if he is willing."

The old lady agreed?Mrs. Yao was overjoyed, and quickly called Yao Anhong to tell him about it.

Yao Anhong just got out of the carriage, he was taken aback, he didn't know where his mother was singing, and said: "Mother, it's okay, didn't the doctor ask for a Ping An pulse yesterday? I am in good health now, and the exam is no problem at all. .Don't worry, I will come back safely."

He didn't think much about it, but felt that Mrs. Yao Er was too nervous, so he comforted her a bit, then took the test basket and stood with his father and the others.

When Uncle Yao saw Yao Anhong approaching, he led the three of them to the back of a team.

Second Mrs. Yao looked at Yao Anhong's back, feeling a little bit reluctant.

In the end, Gu Qingling was still soft-hearted, stepped forward and patted her hand, and said: "You are a son taking the exam, but I have three sons, and the last one is my own grandson. If you are worried, the person who is most worried should be me. You Don’t worry, I’ve explained it all. If you can take the test, you can take the test. If you can’t, tell the examiner and come out. Nothing is more important than their health. Even if they want to prevent our relatives from worrying, they will not risk their lives. Fight, don't worry..."

"Old Madam..." Mrs. Yao's eyes turned red, and she was a little bit blaming the old matriarch for forcing such a young brother Hong to take the exam, but suddenly she was no longer blamed.

That's right, Brother Hong is her son, but he is also the only grandson of Mr. Cai. If something happens to him, can Mr. Cai not worry?
But the old lady still let him go.

"We'll wait here until they get in before we go."

"it is good."

……

There are three county exams, basically one a day, and only when you pass all three can you pass the county exam.

But don't think that after passing the county test, you are a child. At this time, you can only "count as half", because there will be a government test later.Only if you have passed the government examination in April, you will be a child.

Candidates enter the examination room one day earlier before dawn, rest in the examination room for one night, and take the examination the next day.

I came out after the exam the next day, then took a three-day break (actually for the examiner to mark the papers), and entered the next day.

Back and forth, about ten days.Take the test once, and announce the list of one test. As long as one of them fails, then there is no need to take the next test.

Because today was the first time that members of the Yao family entered the examination room, Gu Qingling and the rest of the Yao family were not willing to leave until the door of the examination room was closed.They sat in the tea shed and listened to the chatter of the people around them.

At this time, they will leave, either because of family affairs, or those who have participated several times and have experience.

Listening to them discussing there, talking about what happened in the county examination in previous years, who got the county case, and who failed to pass the exam after taking several times, is actually very interesting.

"That Mr. Liu has been in the exam for so many years?"

"Isn't that right? His son is going to marry a wife, and he's still taking exams. If it wasn't for his family having a very capable wife, he would have been drinking Xifengbei long ago." Neither are things.

The whole family is supported by his wife, but they still despise his wife for "showing her face" all day long, and don't obey women's morals.

"You don't know her mother-in-law, who talks nonsense every day, saying that her daughter-in-law is bad or bad, but no matter how bad she is, if she supports your family by selling tofu, she will be worthy of you."

The crowd mourned.

For such a family, it is best not to pass the exam. If they are about to pass the exam, where can the wife be left?

I'm afraid I have to be that poor wife who is going to court.
