When Xu Zifan is in the examination room, Lin Ruonan and Xu's mother are waiting in the shade of the trees outside the examination room. Xu's father is restless in the cloth shop. The three of them were of the same mind. They didn't care whether Xu Zifan passed the exam or not. What they cared about was that Xu Zifan's body could not stand the test.
Although Xu Zifan's body is much better recently, they are still worried about his illness for 18 years.
Others looked at it and sighed in private, "what's wrong with that? After years of hard study, few of the healthy scholars can pass the examination. The younger brother of the Xu family is not in good health. How long has he been reading the book before the exam? In case the disease recurred again without sustaining it, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss? "
"Who said it was not? Boss Xu's husband and wife are so hearty. If I don't dare to let my son toss about like this and make money in the cloth shop at home and have a good daughter-in-law waiting on him, wouldn't it be a beautiful day? "
"Oh, don't mention it. People are not satisfied with such a good day. They not only take the imperial examination, but also drive the Bufang to Fucheng. It's Anyang house. I heard that it's not much smaller than the capital. It's prosperous. We haven't been there in our whole life. We can't compare it. "
Recently, the Xu family has heard a lot of things like this, which always has a bit of disapproval and sour taste. They don't care. They cherish those who sincerely wish them well. It's a good thing to have a wide range of contacts in the world. Those who can't get along with each other don't have to be forced, and they don't have to care about the opinions of others.
Their only worry now is Xu Zifan. Letting him take the imperial examination is just to respect his decision. In fact, they don't think Xu Zifan can pass the examination.
Xu Zifan entered at dawn and handed in his papers on the same day. Some examinees are dejected, some are jubilant, and some are worried. They are reading books with their faces. Only Xu Zifan walks slowly with a smile on his face, as if he is not here for reference, but for a walk. His bearing has attracted a lot of attention.
Lin Ruonan and Xu's mother rushed to meet him. Xu's mother looked up and down at Xu Zifan and said with concern: "son, how are you? Tired of sitting in it for so long? "
Xu Zifan said with a smile, "no, I'm well. Don't worry."
Lin Ruonan breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the people around him were crowded. He said, "mother, let's go back and let Zifan have a good rest. I'll stew him some nourishing soup."
Xu's mother nodded again and again, "OK, I've hired a bullock cart, son fan, I'll go back now."
Xu Zifan knew that they were worried, but he did not refuse. He got on the ox cart and lay down on it. Xu's mother and Lin Ruonan followed him on both sides of the bullock cart, talking to him all the way home, and calling Xu's father in Bufang on the way.
Xu Zifan's face was ruddy. After a full bowl of rice and a lot of dishes, he didn't look uncomfortable at all. This made the whole family feel at ease. Xu Zifan didn't worry so much when he came back to the scene the next day.
I can't help but mutter that Xu Zifan's health is not as good as his five days. Some people see his calm appearance and can't help but guess whether he has a plan in mind or has already given up? Why don't you worry about the test results at all?
On the day of the result, many people in the town went to see it. They are also curious, want to know how Xu Zifan test, the results are shocked to see Xu Zifan test the first desk, he really good!
People's impression of him has been greatly improved. At first, he was regarded as a good character, smart brain, not easy to bully and weak and sick. Now he has a good advantage of reading. People suddenly feel that Xu Zifan is really a rare young talent, and even many people regret that they did not marry his daughter at first?
Ordinary people's awe and worship of scholars are blind. When the Xu family closed the cloth shop and prepared to move, many people came to give gifts. Some are just a basket of vegetables and a few eggs, but the courtesy is light and the affection is heavy. Because Xu Zifan is good at reading, most people are blessing them. They are still saying that Xu Zifan may become an official in the future.
The Xu family has experienced many changes in the attitude of others. They are very calm. They sincerely thank them for their sincere blessing. When they leave, they give all the things that are inconvenient to take away. Then they take the carriage to leave the town and go to Anyang house with full expectation.
Xu's father had already visited Anyang house. When they arrived, they rented a courtyard, and then asked Xu Zifan to study at home to prepare for the government test. They went out early and came back late every day to find a suitable shop to have a relationship. The time soon passed.
During the period when Xu's family rented shops for decoration and purchase, Xu Zifan got the government examination desk and ushered in the hospital test.
Now the Xu family is no longer worried about Xu Zifan's examination of the imperial examination. They also happily cooperate with him and make everything in the shop well, waiting for Xu Zifan to open his business.
Xu Zifan was also the head of the court's examination. The three heads of the court attracted the attention of the magistrate. He specially arranged a banquet to ask him and several students to go over and test their knowledge and personality. The magistrate, Mr. Liang, was an official of the fourth grade. He was transferred from the capital with a profound background and wide knowledge. Some of the students would not avoid speaking to him rigidly, but Xu Zifan behaved as usual and answered fluently.Master Liang liked Xu Zifan very much. He was keenly aware that he was not a thing in the pool. On the surface, he gave 20 Liang silver to several talented people. In private, he only told Xu Zifan that he could come to him if he had something to do with him, or even with the steward Liang.
When Xu Zifan succeeded in becoming a scholar, Lin Ruonan and the two elders of the Xu family were very happy. When he got home, they asked him what Mr. Liang had said to him, and what the mansion looked like. These are the things they couldn't touch and dare not think about, but now they have come true so easily. It feels like in a dream.
Xu Zifan knew that they were a little uneasy, and comforted him: "father, mother, Ruonan, don't be afraid. Our life will get better and better. This is just the beginning. Mr. Liang is a good official and can get close to him. Since he asked me to find him, if I was timid and evasive, I would not give him face. I should often go to see him on New Year's day. With the care of Mr. Liang, there will be no problem for our cloth shop in Anyang. "
Xu Zifan's voice is always with a reassuring magic. Anyway, Lin Ruonan and Xu's second elder are much more relaxed. At the beginning, Xu's father and Xu's mother had nothing to do, but now they have to do it again, with their son and daughter-in-law to help, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
Xu's mother looked at the sky and said with a smile, "OK, it's getting late. Let's all have a rest. We'll be busy tomorrow when the cloth shop opens. This time we have double happiness. In the days to come, we must be very prosperous! "
Lin Ruonan said with a smile: "Niang is right, we all go to the same place, and there is no bad."
This night should have been uneasy, nervous and hard to sleep, but because of the peace of mind, they soon fell asleep. Xu Zifan gave them this confidence. I don't know when Xu Zifan has become the backbone of his family. With him, they are not afraid of anything.
On the second day, xujiabufang was officially opened. Dragon and lion dances were held at the gate. Gongs and drums were playing at the gate. The location of the shop was good. Many people from the street stopped to watch.
Lin Ruonan came up with the idea of placing tea. Although it was only coarse tea, many people came to Bufang to have a sip of tea. When you enter the cloth shop, you are embarrassed to go directly. You have to have a look. There are people like Lin Ruonan and Xu's mother who can speak and recommend. On the first day, many fabrics are sold. Of course, this has something to do with their opening discount.
Steward Liang sent someone to send a congratulatory gift, which was inconspicuous to the common people, but it was known to all the people in Anyang Prefecture. Xu Zifan was appreciated by the magistrate, and no one in Anyang Prefecture would bully them. Xu Zifan kept this friendship in mind and invited the guests to open the new cloth shop smoothly.
The new cloth shop is more than twice as big as that in the original town, and the ready-made clothes are also more novel. This is the result of Lin Ruonan's investigation in Fucheng for many days. Nowadays, Lin Ruonan is the one who makes up most of the business in Bufang. She has also lived up to this responsibility. She has done a good job. She does not have to worry about her father and mother. She has the posture of a modern strong woman, and she has the ambition to do a big job.
Some businessmen in the town came to Fucheng to buy goods. When they knew the cloth shop of the Xu family, they came to pay a visit. When they went back, they also took the news of the Xu family back.
After several months of preparation, the Lin family just opened the restaurant. Before Lin Ruoshan was happy, she heard that Xu Zifan had been admitted to a scholar's college. The Xu family's shop was bigger, and the magistrate was the backer. Lin Ruonan was in charge of all the shops.
Lin Ruoshan felt as if there were countless ants crawling in her heart.
She just took a small step forward, and the Xu family took a big step forward. She is still secretly happy for a restaurant in the town, which is not her. Lin Ruonan is in charge of a big cloth shop in the city. The most important thing is that Xu Zifan was admitted as a scholar, and he was no longer an ordinary person!
Why is Lin Ruonan's life so good? Xu Zifan was one of the two talented scholars in the whole town. She lost this talent and became Lin Ruonan's. Looking back on the past, Xu Zifan's tenderness and protection to Lin Ruonan, as well as the happiness and glory Xu Zifan brought to Lin Ruonan, all show that she has no eyes and missed a good man.
If Lin Ruoshan had a good life, she might not be so miserable, but she did not have a good life. How much money the restaurant made was not her. She was just a small worker who made wine for the Lin family. The difference between Xu family and her made her unable to sleep for several nights, scratching her heart and lung. It was hard to say whether she regretted or hated. She seemed to have become the resentful woman in her previous life. But she couldn't help it. She couldn't get rid of such an unwilling mood. Even if the Xu family moved away, she was still affected by them, like a demon in her heart.
In addition to the Lin family, other people who heard that the Xu family had a good life all admired it. They all felt proud that the scholar had passed the examination from them. Mr. Lin is very happy all day long. Everyone in the village who meets him will say congratulations. The son-in-law is well found and the marriage is very good.
In particular, Xu Zifan and his wife also sent several sets of clothes and many local products to Lin, which made him look better. Who mentioned that they were not proud of their filial piety? Although they left, their stories still spread in their hometown for a long time. And this story can not avoid mentioning the villain Lin Ruoshan. It is impossible for Lin Ruoshan to forget her.
