While thousands of miles away in the capital, Yang Ruoqing was wooing nobles to join the business and share dividends, Yang Huazhong's family in Changping Village was spending their own money to invite relatives and friends over for dinner.

Because Da'an came back from the capital, relatives and friends at home rushed over to visit him when they heard the news.

Some of Daan's former classmates in the town were also invited to visit.

Yang Huazhong and Sun Shi worked together, and simply added to the five tables, bought several tables of wine and food to entertain everyone, and then told everyone at the banquet that their daughter was about to get married, and invited everyone to come over for the banquet.

!

Mu Zichuan and Da'an were at the same table. One of them was the top pick and the other was the number one scholar. They were both the kind of people who were full of knowledge.

When the two of them get together, they have endless things to say.

Yang Huazhong, on the other hand, was busy greeting the guests, and Xiaohua took the place of Sun and was responsible for receiving the female relatives.

After living in the capital for more than a year, Xiaohua has already become Da'an's virtuous wife, and she has already become comfortable with the basic exchanges between the female family members.

It's just that Ms. Sun was worried that her daughter-in-law would be tired after greeting her for a long time while pregnant with a child, so she couldn't help but help.

The backyard kitchen area was completely left to Da Sun, Bao Suyun and Wang Cuilian to take care of...

"Master, why don't you see my cousin?" Da'an took a moment and came to Lao Yangtou, leaned over and asked.

In this room full of guests, the eldest brother is the only one missing. Although Da'an has heard about what happened in the big room in the past two days, these things have passed. People have to look forward. There is a saying in the book: Who can make mistakes without being a sage?

?If you make a mistake, correct it. There is no greater good.

Hearing Da'an's inquiry, Old Yangtou was quite pleased.

"Now that you are so prosperous, it's rare that you still miss your eldest cousin. He went to his father-in-law's house in Liaojia Village two days ago. I'm afraid he will have to stay there for a few days before coming back!" said the old man.

Da'an nodded: "Brother is filial, which is a good thing. Let's wait until eldest brother comes back and we brothers can talk to each other properly."

Lao Yang nodded and couldn't help but hold Da'an's hand. Every wrinkle in the corner of his eyes was filled with sincerity and pleading.

"Da'an, I want to tell you something privately. You are now promising, but your eldest brother is still hanging there. If you have a chance, you must take care of him. You are cousins, and we are both.

Descendants of the Old Yang family, if you help each other, the Old Yang family will become more prosperous and prosperous. The family is great and the business is great. Do you remember that?"

Da'an was startled for a moment, and then he remembered the things Xiaoduo and Xiaohua had been nagging about in the past few days about the old man's partiality.

At that time, I was still half-convinced, but now I saw the old man's frighteningly hot eyes, and I was convinced.

"Master, you don't need to tell me these words. My grandson knows it all in his heart. Please rest assured, I will definitely take care of my elder brother whenever I have the opportunity." Da'an said.

"It's just that the premise is that the eldest brother must first pass the provincial examination and obtain the title of civil servant."

He doesn't have any fame at all, and even if he wants to be promoted, he can't find a reason for it. Is it possible to arrange for the elder brother who is a scholar to work in a certain yamen?

However, he is not qualified to do those decent things, and he may not appreciate the things he can do, which is a bit embarrassing.

Therefore, the premise is that you must first pass the Juren exam. Passing the Juren exam is equivalent to becoming an official.

Old Yangtou also understands what Daan said.

Old Yang nodded repeatedly, "You are right, I will tell him to review his homework more intensively, but to prepare for next year's provincial examination. By the way, Da'an, your eldest brother has been teaching while reviewing his homework in the past few years, and has not gone to town.

I am worried that he is out of touch with the outside world and does not know the key points of the current scientific examination. As you came back from the capital, you must be aware of this. When your elder brother comes back, you can talk to him carefully.

Can you give him some guidance and help him avoid detours?"

Da'an smiled and nodded: "As long as the eldest brother is willing to accept my reminder and doesn't mind me as the younger brother's boss, I will naturally be willing to help him."

The old man smiled from the bottom of his heart this time: "Don't worry, your elder brother will understand your kindness, and I understand it too."

Daan nodded.

Then, in order to express his appreciation for Da'an, his grandson, Lao Yangtou praised Feng'er to death.

I am so proud that I am the only one in the world, a prodigy!

Daan raised his hand and stroked his temples, feeling a little embarrassed.

A classmate just happened to come looking for him, so Daan found an opportunity to get away from Lao Yangtou quickly.

Before leaving, Old Yang's voice came from behind, telling him not to forget what he had just said.

…

In the afternoon, the guests had already dispersed.

Da'an accepted Mu Zichuan's invitation and went to Mu's house to have a drink and play chess.

Before leaving, I didn't forget to ask for leave in private with Xiaohua. I planned to hold a candlelit night talk with my close friend Mu Zichuan tonight and come home tomorrow.

Xiaohua is a gentle and virtuous woman and considerate, so she naturally supports Daan's decision.

Before leaving, he also brought a large cloak for Daan to put on so as not to catch a cold at night.

After Da'an left, the women also finished their meal, cleared away the dishes, and gathered around in the main room to do some household chores.

There were not only two or three heating barrels placed in the main room, but also a charcoal fire basin. It was as warm as spring.

Although the custom in this area is that women should hide their pregnancy for the first three months, many people can hardly hide it.

For example, Yang Huamei, Xiaojie, there will always be something like this that makes this matter come out.

At this moment, the same is true for Xiao Hua.

It wasn't because her extreme reaction to morning sickness was exposed, but because Sun was so excited and delighted that she couldn't help but spill the beans to Da Sun and Bao Suyun.

So at this moment, the women gathered in the main room, and the topic all revolved around Xiao Hua.

The women expressed their own opinions based on their own previous experiences and taught Xiaohua their experiences one after another.

Xiao Hua and Xiao Duo were sitting in the same warm bucket. Compared to Xiao Hua's laziness, Xiao Duo's eyes were shining brightly.

Mrs. Sun couldn't help but joke: "We seem to have spoken to the wrong person. Hua'er looked careless, but Duo'er pricked up her ears to listen, hahaha..."

After being reminded by Da Sun, everyone really noticed this.

Xiao Hua and Xiao Duo all turned red in the face.

Xiaoduo said: "I'm listening to Xiaohua. People say that pregnancy makes you stupid for three years. I'm afraid she won't remember it. I'll have to explain it to her in detail when I go back to the house later!"

Xiaohua said sheepishly: "Auntie, you misunderstood, I am not careless. I like to listen very much, and I know that you are sincerely teaching me your experience. It's just that my waist is a bit sore and weak.

I can’t help but want to lie down and listen, I remember everything you said!”

Mrs. Sun smiled and nodded: "Auntie is teasing you, but you should know these things even if I don't tell you. You have given birth to Feng'er and have experience."
