Xun Junhui finished the provincial examination and did not go home immediately. He asked someone to send a message to Mr. Xun to report on the examination situation, and said that he had to stay outside for a few days because he met some like-minded friends. Seeing what his younger son said in his letter that the newly made friends were all children of the decent family, he was not only not annoyed, but was very happy, and also sent someone to send some money to him.

When Fang knew about it, he said that Jun Hui was very inappropriate to wander like this and he had to strictly discipline him. Master Xun scolded her for saying that the woman was aware of it, and Fang's shameful face changed immediately. Fortunately, there were only two of them and no servants were there, but Fang's face was still gloomy for several days.

Fang's birthday is approaching, and Xun Junhui has just returned. He met Master Xun and Fang first, so he came to visit Xun Qingran.

Xun Qingran fiddled with the gadgets brought back by her brother and asked him about his exams in the city. She felt relieved when she knew everything was fine. The two of them talked about the situation at home after they parted.

"Kapoi told me everything, thanks to my sister."

"Don't just thank me, it's also Kapok who has his own ideas and is smart in doing things."

"I guessed that my wife would touch the people around me, but she couldn't wait for a while. The Zhou family's mother would be better off being accomplices for the tiger. This time she angered the master and completely lost her job. It was her retribution. If the wife didn't have such a person around her, she would be more restrained... Sister, have you ever made things difficult for this?"

Xun Qingran shook her head, "Not only did she not make any difficulties, but she treated me more than usual."

Xun Junhui was silent, "Mrs. I have to be more careful in my daily life."

As he was talking, the sound of Malt's speech came from outside.

"This is my duty, and I dare not bother Sister Chuntao. Sister Chuntao should do the work assigned by the girl as soon as possible."

As he finished speaking, Maiyao came in with a teapot and carried a curtain. Xun Qingran glanced out of the door and saw a pretty figure wandering outside the door. It was Chuntao. Xun Junhui also saw it and frowned.

"But, my purity is coming, my sister has caused trouble."

Just now, Xun Junhui came into the yard and Chuntao was doing needlework in the wing room. She looked good, and when she saw Xun Junhui, she greeted Xun Junhui and saluted Xun Junhui. Xun Junhui didn't even look at her, and then came to the upper room. Chuntao was not giving up, and changed her outfit and was just watching outside. She must have rushed to deliver tea, but was blocked by malt.

"It might be okay, I am different from you. What can she do with me? You can see that she can't get any of my hands in my room. If you don't talk about others, she can't take advantage of it if only one malt."

Malt is quick-talk and stingy. Xun Qingran is afraid that she will go out and cause trouble, so she will only let her serve her in the yard. Therefore, the people in other yards do not understand Malt's temperament, but Xun Junhui knew it, and when Xun Qingran said this, he laughed.

On the day of the listing, Xun Qingran got up early, called Baozhu in, gave her some money, and asked her to go out to find out the news. She wanted to know the news as soon as possible.

Even though I was in the house, I could hear the sound of gongs coming from far and near. This is because someone came to report the good news. It must be that someone from around me passed the exam. However, why didn’t I see my own good news? Xun Qingran walked to the door of the house.

The door of the east room was open, and Aunt Wu leaned on the door frame, with a bag of melon seeds in her hand, and the melon seeds were covered with skins flying all over the ground. When she saw Xun Qingran, she sneered.

"If you don't have that life, you can't win even if you are so anxious that you grow flowers in your eyes."

There was another sound of gongs. This time it was very close, and it should be in front of my own door. Then I heard a burst of footsteps in front of me. Someone set off firecrackers and Baozhu ran from afar.

"Miss, I'm overjoyed. The report came outside and said that the second master was the first. He was called... Jie Yuan."

Xun Qingran's heart was raised to her throat, and then she put it in her stomach, and she couldn't help but be happy for her younger brother.

"Where is the second master now?"

"With the master, entertain the people who come to announce the good news in front of you." Baozhu gasped.

Malt went over and patted Baozhu on the shoulder, and glanced at Aunt Wu's eyes.

"The second master is Wenquxing, who is destined to earth. It is destined to be destined to death. It is better to be so angry that little man in vain. Baozhu, you are in front of you, have you received the reward."

Baozhu saw Maiya winking at her and hurriedly said, "Of course there is a reward. Several newspapers have all sealed 50 taels of silver. The master said that there are rewards at home. Those who go early will receive more rewards. I went early and got a piece of silver. Sister Maiya, see if there are two taels. This is not too much. Just now, Mama Li in the big girl's yard is very strong and squeezed in front of me. She got a piece of rice, which is enough to weigh five taels."

Malt and Baozhu sang together, and Aunt Wu became a little uneasy, and even more uneasy were the people who served him. These people couldn't wait for Aunt Wu to speak, and Caohua and Yulu took the lead. After a while, they all left the yard and rushed to the front yard.

The Xun family was in full joy. They received He Ke from outside the clan in front of them. After receiving the orders from Master Xun, Fang's family in the backyard had to pretend to be smiling and give the reward.

Mr. Xun recently paid attention to his younger son because of his recommendations from his clan and political education. In his eyes, Junhui is usually mediocre, so he only hopes to pass the exam. Now he is overjoyed and looks at his younger son more and more like him. Mr. Xun is also a person with experience in his studies and an official career. At this time, he considered his son's future and gave him the trusted chairman of the management around him. Both of them had been in office with Mr. Xun. The officialdom, human relationships, and worldly style are all familiar with him. Xun Junhui has added more arms and help from then on.

Mr. Xun took the provincial examination when he was young. Although he had passed the exam once, he never got the first place. He felt a little regretful. Now his youngest son realizes his dream for him. He is very proud of him and said that he would have a banquet for three days and invites relatives and friends to drink and celebrate. Fang was almost angry next to him, but he couldn't say anything. Xun Junhui spoke, saying that Fang's birthday was coming, so it was not advisable to treat him again at this time. Moreover, he was young, so he was lucky to join him this time, so he should not be extravagant and pursue his studies hard in the future. Mr. Xun was very pleased and felt that his son was capable and filial, so he followed Xun Junhui's words and only invited the clan's teacher, several clan elders and the second master's family to drink for a day.

Seeing the concubine's wings getting harder, Fang felt uncomfortable and had a heartache again. However, Xun Junhui's sensible and polite manners made her unable to pick it up even if she wanted to. Master Xun had a banquet for guests, and in order to make up for the loss of his last time, Fang had to prepare carefully, and everyone was very happy in the end.

Xun Qingran was in the inner courtyard, and the details outside were not clear, but she also noticed subtle changes. There were more smiling faces around her and more flattering words in her ears. Hongxiao no longer asked for leave at any time to go home. Chuntao was even more obedient. She was afraid that she would not do enough to satisfy Xun Qingran, so she flattered Platycodon and Malt. Platycodon, Malt, and even the little girl Baozhu said that for some reason, she was much more comfortable in the mansion now than in the past.

Of course, Xun Qingran doesn't meet all the flattering things, such as the sour words of Aunt Wu and Xun Shufang, the eyes of Xun Shulan when she sees her enemies, and the hidden little troubles of Fang. Xun Qingran's heart is calm, and the world's love has never changed for thousands of years.

On that day, Xun Junhui and Master Xun came back from the city to pay a visit and came to talk to Xun Qingran.

"Tell me a happy event," Xun Junhui took out a few silver notes from his sleeve. "The two embroidery screens my sister consigned in the embroidery shop were bought by one person. The big one was given five hundred taels and the small one was given three hundred taels."

Xun Qingran took the silver note and was also very happy. "I don't know whose family it was, such a big deal."

"I asked, and the shopkeeper said it was a passing guest who paid the bill with a silver note, but he did not leave his name. He said that he was not from the neighborhood of Yingchuan."

Xun Junhui's face was a little dull. Xun Qingran just asked casually and didn't take it seriously. The things she embroidered naturally knew the value. However, she also met someone who knew the goods. She used the frame to match the frame, gave gifts or used for her own use, and a thousand taels of silver was worth it.

Xun Qingran thought that his younger brother would have a lot of expenses outside, and it would be very difficult to get from Fang, so he wanted to give the silver note to his younger brother.

Xun Junhui did not accept it, "Sister, I understand Yuan this time. The master arranged it. In addition to the supply of the inner courtyard, if I have any expenses, I can withdraw it directly from the manager of the outer courtyard. I have already told Kikyo that my sister needs money, even if I tell me. Keep these silver notes, keep them... and keep them for my sister himself, well, buy a dowry."

Dowry! Xun Junhui was only thirteen years old and thought of this. Xun Qingran didn’t know whether to be sad for his younger brother’s precociousness or happy for his younger brother’s caringness.

"You are young and you will worry about what kind of dowry you don't have to dowry!" Xun Qingran said angrily and said, "If you can't use it now, I'll put it away. I'll go to Beijing for the exam in the future, and marrying a wife will be a big expense. It's always useful."

Xun Junhui's dowry brings a word about marrying a wife. After all, he is still young and is a little embarrassed, and Xun Qingran is amused.

The thirteen-year-old Jie Yuan is one of the Xun family, which has many Wenquxing. The praise and flattery that Xun Junhui heard these days almost made him hear the calluses. Xun Qingran was worried that he would become proud from then on, so he warned him to be arrogant and not to lose his normal mind in dealing with people because of his temporary compliment. Xun Junhui listened respectfully, only reassuring Xun Qingran was not such a frivolous person.

Xun Qingran found out about his younger brother's behavior these days, and others said that he was humble and polite, so he felt relieved. The brother and brother were talking, and Baozhu came in to report.

"The servant of the second master is at the second gate, and is anxious to ask the second master to go out. He said that someone has come to the capital, so he asked the second master to go out with the guests."
