Lian Shouyi is now barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. He doesn't care about anything, and he looks thick-skinned. No matter how Zhou beats and scolds him, he doesn't care at all. The conflict between mother and son is often like Zhou is angry, but Lian Shouyi is as if he is fine.

Although Zhou was domineering and powerful, she could not hold back Lian Shouyi's troubles every day. She also compromised with Lian Shouyi for the sake of tranquility and tranquility. It was during the August Festival that Zhou was very relaxed and might have given Lian Shouyi some sweetness in order to have a good holiday.

As for what Lian Shouyi would do after getting the sweetness, and whether he would go down the road, Zhou actually didn't care. Or she thought that it was not something she should be in charge.

Zhou has always been like this. She disciplines her children and grandchildren very strictly, but her discipline is just to make her children and grandchildren respect themselves and obey her. She doesn't care about other aspects. Just like her in charge of the family, she just grasps the power to distribute food and clothing, and she doesn't care about anything else.

Lian Man'er once thought about this issue. She felt that Zhou's doing this was certainly related to her own personality. On the other hand, it was also related to the requirements and standards of women's morality and functions at home in this era.

Zhou was so partial and valued the two daughters of Lian Lan'er and Lian Xiu'er, but the marriage between these two daughters was not her. Even Lan'er was reluctant to marry, but the old man was the one who did not ask for the opinions of Zhou and Lian Lan'er at all. The mother and daughter did not dare to make trouble. As for Lian Xiu'er's situation, it was even worse. Zhou did not really make trouble, but just torture Gu's anger.

To put it bluntly, Zhou never considered her family and the funeral of her children and grandchildren. She only cares about herself. She was able to give birth to and raise her sons, which was her kindness. She was a great hero.

Some of Lian Shouyi’s capital to use for money this time must have come from the Zhou family.

"This old lady...there are times when she gives in." Zhang Caiyun shook her head and said.

"In the past, my mother always said she couldn't afford to make trouble with her. If you don't provoke her, she would always make trouble for her if she had nothing to do, but she just couldn't live a peaceful life. Now, it's the opposite." Lian Man'er said again.

This does not mean that Zhou's personality has changed since he is old and has a change in temperament. It means that Zhou's personality has no trouble with Lian Shouyi.

"This is called one thing to subdue another thing." Zhang Caiyun said. Then he asked Lian Ye'er, "I think my third uncle doesn't run to the old house now."

"Go too," Lian Ye'er said, "I'm not as busy as I went there. When my father went there, the old lady always talked to him. She always talked bad things about my mother and me. My father doesn't like to listen very much,... no one likes to listen."

Although he had to deal with Lian Shouyi, Zhou still did not give up trying to win over Lian Shouli and suppress Zhao and Lian Ye'er. Lian Man'er sometimes felt that it was a miracle that Zhou was so old that it was a miracle to have such a spirit.

"Don't look at my third uncle like this, I think the old lady is much better for my third uncle than in the past." Lian Man'er smiled.

Lian Shouli was no longer as obedient to Zhou as before, and had no self or a wife or daughter. Zhou was not as casual as before, but was more gentle. However, every time this gentleness could not be maintained for long, and when it was not satisfied, Zhou still started to curse.

In fact, Zhou's attitude towards each son is somewhat different from the past.

"This morning, I went to the old house." Lian Ye'er said, "The old lady and her sister-in-law were preparing to cook. She looked very happy and prepared a lot of things. They were frying, fried, fried, and fried. The old lady was willing to eat this time."

"She has anything to bear to eat when she sends those old things here." Zhang Caiyun smiled.

"Ya'er is also helping, and the old lady seems to have made her a new skirt." Lian Ye'er said again.

"Now Ya'er has become her close friend." Lian Zhi'er said.

"Ya'er listens to her, and she's going to do whatever work." Lian Man'er nodded and said.

Lian Shouyi and He's two children, Lian Ya'er, was completely supported by Zhou, while Liulang was the one who was supporting them. As long as the couple had enough food, the whole family would not be hungry.

Several people talked and laughed, and the banquet by the lotus pond ended until the moon was in the middle of the sky. Even Shouxin and others had some wine. Fortunately, they lived not far away, and the car at home was ready-made. Lian Man'er asked the manager to pick the experienced coachman and send everyone home.

Lian Shouxin returned to the house, drank a bowl of sobering hot soup, and leaned against the pillow with her clothes, laughing and talking. Lian Shouxin's alcohol tolerance was pretty good, and he knew how to control himself in this regard and never got drunk. Now, he was drunk.

Even the words that Guanxin said at this time have no practical meaning. The central idea is just two words, so happy.

"Wulang and Xiaoqi don't know how they did the exam?" Even Shouxin's words were still smiling.

Zhang and Lian Man'er thought it was a little funny when they saw Lian Shouxin's appearance. Lian Shouxin knew that he was worried about Wulang and Xiaoqi at this time, and Zhang was even more so.

"It's cold enough that night now. I wonder if your brother and you are wearing more clothes? I don't know what they are eating today..." Zhang said a lot of words, but he didn't mention how Wulang and Xiaoqi took the exam, and whether they could pass the exam.

As a mother, Zhang's focus has never been on this.

"Mom, don't worry. Even if my brother and Xiaoqi can't remember, I have given good instructions to those who serve me, Xiaoxi and Xiaoqing. Mom, you forgot, you have given many instructions before leaving. Don't worry, these two girls will definitely take good care of my brother and Xiaoqi." Lian Man'er said.

"That's right." Zhang thought about it, then nodded, "Man'er, this matter is thanks to you. The girl is different from the boy. No matter how careful the boy is, she is not as thoughtful as the girl."

Lian Man'er carefully tuned and taught her, and gave the two girls who were so easy to call her to Wulang and Xiaoqi. In this matter, Zhang thought Lian Man'er was particularly considerate.

"Hey, I haven't seen your brother for more than half a year..." Zhang put down the clothes he was folding in his hand, looked out the window and said quietly.

"Mom, do you miss my brother?" Lian Man'er glanced at Zhang and said with a smile.

I miss my family more during the festival, especially in the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, which should be a day for the family to reunite.

"How can you not think about that," Zhang did not deny, "that's the flesh that fell from me."

"...I'll be able to meet soon. My brother will definitely come back after the exam." Lian Man'er comforted.

"Yes." Zhang nodded.

Lian Man'er was full of confidence when she said Goro would come back soon. However, things did not develop according to her expectations and Goro's plan.

After Wulang and Xiaoqi took the exam, they were unable to return to Sanshiliyingzi immediately. Mr. Lu sent a message from the capital to Wulang, asking him to help with something. Wulang stayed in the capital, and Xiaoqi also stayed with him, and went with Chen Qian every day to study with Mr. Chu.

In a blink of an eye, it was late August. Zhang lived his life almost every day with his fingers, calculating when Goro and Xiaoqi would come back.

That morning, Lian Man'er was feeding birds in the corridor. While watching the little girls trim the flowers and trees in the yard, he heard a noise outside and the sound of gongs turned into a circle.

"What's going on?" Lian Man'er was slightly surprised and confused, so she hurriedly sent a little girl to the front yard to see what was going on. After a while, the little girl ran back with a look of joy.

"If you say it to the girl, you will be very happy." Maybe he ran away anxiously, and was excited, and the little girl was a little panting when she spoke. "It was the county's servant who came to report the good news, saying that the second master had won the scholar."

Lian Man'er was also very happy when she heard this.

"I'll just forget it, there should be news in the past two days." Lian Man'er said this, turned around and saw Zhang walking out of the house.

"Mom, did you hear it?" Lian Man'er hurriedly met, "It's Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi has passed the exam for scholars."

Zhang heard it in a daze in the room, but he couldn't believe it. Now that she heard Lian Man'er say so confidently, she completely believed it, and her eyes suddenly turned red with joy.

"Really? Is this true? Our Xiaoqi has also passed the scholarship exam?" Zhang grabbed Lian Man'er and asked repeatedly.

"Well. Mom, I didn't tell you that Xiaoqi will definitely pass the exam." Lian Man'er said, and ordered Jixiang to go ahead and show her the good news.

Jixiang hurried to the front yard. Soon, Han Zhong's wife and several daughters-in-law came in and asked for a briefing to enter the good news. Lian Man'er gave instructions one by one. As soon as the wife left, Jixiang came back with the good news.

"The master said, let the girl see it, take it back later, and it must be hung up properly." Jixiang said to Lian Man'er.

Lian Man'er took the good news and looked carefully. Zhang also needed to recognize some words, so he looked over and looked at it.

"Mom, Xiaoqi got the second place this time, which is better than my brother's exam at the beginning." Lian Man'er told Zhang.

Zhang was so happy that he only knew how to recite Amitabha Buddha.

"Go back to the girl, the maid was in front of me just now. The person who reported the good news said that the first place in the exam was more than 10 years older than our second master. It was an old boy who had been taking the exam for many years. He said that he had just taken the exam for the right question this time, and he was in front of the second master. Otherwise, our second master would be sure to protect the case." Jixiang said with a hurried smile.

"Don't let them say this, this is just a word for the people who announce the good news to please us." Lian Man'er said that although Xiaoqi was in high school, he was still young, so he should be cautious about being arrogant and impetuous.

"The second master passed the exam for scholars. This is a great joy. If you pass the message on, it is said that it was said by the master and his wife. Everyone has a reward ticket.

!” Lian Man'er said again.

"Yes." Jixiang Gao agreed happily. Just as he was about to deliver the victory, he heard another gong outside.

"Is there two groups of people coming to report the good news?!"
