Chapter 303, Chen family’s trivial matters

Jing Shirong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his explanation, but also glared at him.

“If Kang Ge’er and the others follow his example, I’ll ignore you.”

These words were serious, Qi Yuanming was most afraid that he would ignore him, and immediately feared the guarantee.

“Don’t worry, the old man looks weird, but he’s soft at heart. He really likes children.”

 Otherwise he would not have introduced Kang Geer and the others.

Jing Shirong knew that Qi Yuanming had no bad intentions, so he didn't share his common sense.

 The two of them should at least go to the dock together, and then take a boat down to the south of the Yangtze River.

 This head.

Sister Ying has been drying herbs with Sister Yang at home for a day, and she is tired.

Mrs. Wu has been busy in and out these days, carefully preparing things for Sister Ying's birthday party.

 After celebrating her 16th birthday party this year, Sister Ying will be 17 next year.

The seventeen-year-old girl has reached the age to get married, and Mrs. Wu is also looking forward to it.

Old Mrs. Liang couldn't help but clicked her tongue when she saw her busy.

“Why do you like to organize these things so much? Last time, you organized it so exquisitely on your birthday. This time, the birthday party is so grand. It’s really overwhelming.”

Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "They are girls, so we should give them more arrangements when they are at their parents' home, so that they can also learn. This will save their children from not being able to organize any festivals when they grow up in the future."

Mrs. Wu’s original intention was to teach Sister Ying and Sister Yang some festival arrangements at her daughter’s house.

 Second, I thought that they were from a girl's family and would not be able to enjoy the blessings at home when they got married, so I wanted to love them more.

Old Mrs. Liang herself had a daughter, so she sighed but didn’t say anything.

"Okay, go ahead and do it. She will get married to the capital next year anyway, so you should love her more."

Mrs. Wu sighed and continued shopping.

 Sister Yang just came back from learning how to make herbal medicine from Gutou, and she started talking as soon as she came back.

 “Grandma, there is a letter from my aunt.”

When Mrs. Liang heard that it was a letter from her daughter, she immediately became energetic and said, "Quick, show me."

 She took the envelope and saw that it was from Liang Ping.

Liang Ping wrote in the letter that her eldest son, Hong Geer, had been selected for the imperial examination and was now on his way to the capital, planning to attend this year's Spring Festival.

Because they took the road south of the Yangtze River, which was relatively close, they wanted to stop by the Liang family to have a look.

When Mrs. Liang heard that her eldest daughter was coming, she was so happy that she quickly asked her servants to clean up the side room.

"Quickly, let your aunt clean up the wing."

 She has not seen her daughter for a long time and has missed them for a long time.

It will be a pleasure to meet again if we have the opportunity.

“Let me tell you, your eldest aunt is coming to our house, aren’t you happy?”

Sister Yang said "Huh?" "Auntie?"

 Because when she was born, Liang Ping's family happened to be on a business trip out of town, so Sister Yang and Brother Sen didn't have much impression of Liang Ping.

Mrs. Liang slowly said to her, "That's right. When you and Brother Sen were young, it was normal for you not to remember your aunt. When you were young, your aunt even gave you gifts. Now it's all It’s at your mother’s place.”

“We, the three of us, have been separated for many years, and it’s so rare that we can see each other again, which makes me so happy.”

The only pity is that Liang Qing doesn’t know when he can come to Jiangnan so that he can meet him then.

Sister Yang comforted her, "There will definitely be a chance to meet again, so don't worry."

 Liang Qing's married life is better than Liang Ping's, which Mrs. Liang is not worried about.

Of her two daughters, only Liang Qing lived a relatively comfortable life after marriage. Wu Laosi was loving and the children were well-behaved, so Liang Qing's life was pretty good.

Liang Ping, on the other hand, married into a large family, and her sisters-in-law were not easy to get along with, and they still wanted to let them go. If Brother Hong and Brother Hu hadn't come out to take the Chunwei exam this time, they would definitely not be able to get rid of those difficult relatives.

Liang Ping said in the letter that she would arrive in Jiangnan in a few days, which made Mrs. Liang very excited and she hurriedly asked the kitchen to prepare more delicious food.

 Liang Jin was very happy when he came back in the evening and learned about it.

 “When will eldest sister arrive?”

Mrs. Liang replied, "Hurry, it will take another five or six days."

 Brother Hong and Brother Hu went to take the Spring Examination. Brother Kang had won the imperial examination before and also went to Beijing to take the Spring Examination. They should be able to meet each other then.

Old Mrs. Liang said, "Quick, send a message to Kang Geer Feige and ask him to take more care of his cousins."

Sister Ying sighed and went to write a letter.

 Three of her grandsons were taking the imperial examination together, and Mrs. Liang was very nervous.

 Brother Hong and the others were in their twenties before they took the Chunwei exam. Brother Kang was lucky to be able to take the Chunwei exam at a young age.

The three grandsons are all in the capital now, and Mrs. Liang hopes in her heart that all three of them will win.

“If Brother Hong and the others win the first prize, your eldest sister won’t have to go back to live with those sisters-in-law anymore.”

You know, when brother-in-law Liang came out to be an official, his whole family followed him.

Even if the two old men came out with the eldest son, the sisters-in-law had to follow them.

They also wanted to come out together on the grounds that they had provided for Brother Chen's husband to study for many years, so the whole family crowded together.

The sisters-in-law of the Chen family are all very preoccupied, and their lives are really chaotic.

 Finally, all the children came out to study and take exams, and Sister Liang was relieved.

Liang Jin also felt sorry for his eldest sister, so he asked Mrs. Wu to work harder and help her entertain eldest sister Liang.

Liang Ping was very kind to Mrs. Wu, and Mrs. Wu would certainly entertain her well.

“Don’t worry, I will entertain my eldest sister well.”

Liang Jin knew that she was considerate, so he went about his business without worries.

 After a few days, Sister Liang came indeed.

 But she was not the only one who came, her two sisters-in-law also came.

It turns out that the sons of her two sisters-in-law also came to Beijing to take the exam. When they saw that Sister Liang was coming to Jiangnan, they were afraid that they would miss something good, so they naturally wanted to follow her.

Sister Liang is really annoying them to death, but she can't push them away.

 You said that falling out with them would be harmful to your son's future.

  You said you would tolerate it, but she was filled with anger.

But the anger cannot be openly expressed. Now the emperor's assessment of officials is very strict. If the family has a bad reputation, they are likely to be eliminated, so Sister Liang can only be polite to the two sisters-in-law. Yes, but my heart is always angry.

 Her original intention was to come to Jiangnan to see my mother and wait here for her son's return.

 Because it is close to the capital, it can be reached quickly by boat.

 When the sons come back, they can come over to see their grandmother and get together as a family.

However, the two sisters-in-law also came to follow him, saying that we were all one family and that she could not come to see her son, but they waited at home, as if they did not value their son, and they wanted to follow him shamelessly.

Liang Ping was really annoyed with them and couldn't say anything, so she came over together.

 Original Mrs. Chen is also accompanying us.

 Mr. Chen has always been the one who calls the shots in the Chen family.

She relied on herself to provide for her eldest son to be successful, so of course she couldn't let her daughters-in-law get on top of her.

 So she still has to be the master of the Chen family after all these years.
