Dressed As a Mother-in-law, She Leads the Whole Family To Turn Over Chapter 385

Chapter 385 Passing the Imperial Examination

Fortunately, there are still many vacant houses in the village that Jiang Ning bought for Yang Xiaoya, so these people can be temporarily accommodated there.

The next day, Nong Liang first went to Dongli Villa to find Yang Santie, met with Jiang Ning, and then went to Zhuangzhi next door.

Jiang Ning only glanced at Nong Liang and knew that this person was unusual. When he asked Yang Santie, he hesitated and said: "Auntie, Uncle Nong has been on the battlefield before and is very skilled. He has been making a living by hunting and fishing these years. No effort was wasted, this is the best candidate I can find.”

Jiang Ning joked: "Then you might as well hire a farmer to lead the team. With his face and aura, no ghost will dare to get close to him."

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Yang Santie immediately ran to Nong Liang to discuss the matter.

Nong Liang didn't refuse, he just said: “Let's talk about it then!”

Yang Santie still has to take the provincial examination next year, so he is not in a hurry, so he will not worry about it anymore.

After the lively Spring Festival, everything returned to normal business. In early February, the first county examination was held after the reform of the imperial examination system. The city was busier than ever. Some accounting clerks in their 40s, 50s and 60s even signed up. In the streets and alleys, everyone was unified. Everyone is discussing this matter.

Jiang Ning called Yang Erdan and Yang Fugui over in advance to ask, "What do you say, sir? Are you sure?"

The two of them bowed respectfully.

"Auntie, sir, my handwriting is fine, and Uncle Liang also said that we can pass the county exam." Compared to Jiang Ning's panic, Yang Erdan seemed much calmer.

Yang Fugui was a little embarrassed, "Uncle, my handwriting is just like that. I can barely read it. I promise to write it well."

"Okay, okay! Just take the exam carefully and be careful, and don't think too much about it." Jiang Ning forced herself to calm down, but her blue fingers twisted together betrayed her inner feelings.

Butler Zhu came over and reported: "Madam, everything is ready and has been carefully checked. You can send the two young masters out."

Yang Erdan walked out first, and Yang Fugui immediately followed.

Jiang Ning was worried and said to her grandma: "Do you think they can do it?"

Mommy Yu covered her mouth and snickered, "Madam, I didn't see you so panicked when the third and fourth sons came off the stage. Why did a small county examination make you so out of control?"

Jiang Ning slowly closed his eyes, "You don't understand!"

Her four sons, the eldest son Chengjue, did not need to worry about her at all. The third and fourth sons were the least good and had the reputation of being a scholar. Only the second son was still a white boy, and he did not have the ability to make money. He was still simple and honest, which impressed her the most. worried.

Yang Erdan and Yang Fugui sitting in the carriage were looking forward to it but also anxious. They had worked hard for several months and did not know what the final result would be.

One county test lasted three days, and it took several more days to go back and forth to Ping'an County.

In the past few days, Jiang Ning had never had a good rest and kept counting the days with his eyes open and closed. He finally hoped that the two children would return safely after taking the exam, and made inquiries about the situation.

The two of them had no idea about the content of the exam, but they talked about the grand occasion of the exam with great enthusiasm.

Jiang Ning's face turned pale, and he forced a smile to appease them. When he returned, he sighed alone and chattered with his grandma, "It seems that I am greedy!"

The two children looked like they were good at taking exams, how could she force them! She spent two days mentally building herself up before she felt better.

A few days later, the county examination results were released. Although Jiang Ning had no hope, he still wanted to know the results.

Butler Zhu rushed into the big house like a wind with the county examination results, laughing all the way, very unrestrained, "Madam, madam, I got it! I got it! The second, rich, and noble young masters are all on the list!"

A "clang" sound! Jiang Ning accidentally knocked over the tea cup on the table and stood up suddenly with a look of disbelief on his face, "Are they really all on the list?"

"Madam! It's absolutely true! Look at the list that the villain asked someone to copy back." Butler Zhu unfolded the list with great interest.

Jiang Ning's vision was blurry, and his fingers trembled as he crossed the names on the paper one by one. He finally found the name of Yang Changlin and Yang Fugui, and cried with joy, "Good! Good! Excellent! Everyone will give you a month's money! Hurry to the Liangjia Jiangjia Xinghua Village to report the good news. ! Where is Erdan?”

Butler Zhu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and replied respectfully: "Madam, the second young master and the rich young master went back to work in the brick kiln after the county examination. I will send someone to look for them."

Butler Zhu moved very quickly. Yang Erdan and Yang Fugui had just calmed down when they came back.

Jiang Ning first congratulated the two of them and then said: "You guys pack up now. I will take you to go to the Liang family in person to announce the good news. Also, you have to stay in the Liang family and keep up the good work for the imperial examination in two months."

“Yes!” The two of them were confident now, unlike when they were nervous during the county exam.

Yang Daya came over after hearing the news, and knelt down to Jiang Ning on the spot, "Auntie, Daya doesn't know how to thank you. From now on, even if you ask me to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will definitely go!"

Jiang Ning glanced at her angrily, "Get up and speak! What do I want you to do, go up to the mountain of knives and go down to the sea of fire? It's up to you to live a good life by yourself. Don't make any noise in the village for the time being. We'll talk about it later."

Yang Daya agreed. She is now Jiang Ning and she will never go east if Jiang Ning asks her to go west.

Jiang Ning took the two children to the Liang family with a thank-you gift.

Yuan was happy and surprised when she learned that both of them had passed the county examination. She fawningly welcomed Jiang Ning into the house and ordered someone to call Liang Hongchang back.

Jiang Ning said a lot of words of gratitude and left the two children to continue studying.

Yuan didn't dare to neglect and went to make arrangements in person.

After Jiang Ning left, she went to see the thank-you gift brought by the Yang family, and found that there were two jars of Western Region wine, a jade seal, a set of jade heads, and the Four Treasures of the Study. She was pleasantly surprised, "Yo! This set of jade heads has a face value That's a lot of money!”

The woman next to me leaned over and complimented enviously: "Madam, this set of hair and face is exquisitely made and the jade water quality is excellent. It is indeed rare. It is indeed from the Marquis of Guang'en, and it is extraordinary! Look at this color, it is specially given to you. It's ready!”

“I think so too!” Yuan picked up a jade bracelet and put it on her hand. She looked at it over and over again, showing no secret of her affection.

Although the Liang family has a fairly good financial background, the money Liang Hongchang earns in a year is not enough to support the family. She also has to look at the future of Zhuangzi's shop. She cannot just go to the street to buy these jewelry, let alone such expensive ones. Jade stone surface.

However, her natal family's wealth was not as good as that of the Liang family, and the dowry they received when she got married was not much. They only had one set of gilt hair and one set of sterling silver hair. In the past few years, she has worn only these two sets of hair and some scattered hairpins when going out to socialize. This jade stone cover directly filled up her makeup. After wearing it when she went out, she felt that her waist straightened a lot. This thank you gift was simply sent to her heart.

Liang Hongchang was so fond of the jade seal that he even kept it in a brocade box in his study so that no one could see it.
