Chapter 377： What if I don’t force it?

Chapter 377 What if I don’t force you?

Jiang Ning was a little shocked. She didn't think about it when she received the news. She didn't expect that her youngest son could think so much in such a short period of time.

Naturally, if a family wants to prosper, it cannot be blamed on one person. It is really good if everyone is good. If Yang Erdan and Yang Fugui can compete and come back with fame, it will definitely be the icing on the cake for the Guang'en Marquis. In the future, others When mentioning Guang'en Houfu, one will not only remember that their family is all mud-legged.

This will not prevent them from doing what they like, and they can achieve multiple things with one stone. At that moment, she felt a little moved, "It's not impossible to do this, but you have to convince your second brother and Fugui, if they really agree , Aniang shamelessly went to the Liang family and asked Mr. Liang to come forward and give them some advice. "

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the right path. First of all, both children were well-educated. Needless to say, Yang Erdan, although he didn't like to study, he had participated in many house constructions and run workshops and inns in recent years. He was needed in many places. Write, draw, and practice the calligraphy.

Yang Fugui’s calligraphy is not good, but there will definitely be many capable folk people in the partial imperial examination selection, and not everyone can write well! I'm afraid many people can't read a single Chinese character and are just making up for it temporarily. This kind of writing requirements are definitely not high. Find a teacher to teach Yang Fugui for a few months and it should be effective.

The mother and son looked at each other and immediately packed up and sent people to the east of the city to call Yang Erdan and Yang Fugui back.

Yang Erdan and Yang Fugui came back yesterday because they were taken out of Yang Sizhuang examination room because they were comatose. Now they were called back. They thought something had happened at home and were so anxious that when they returned home in a hurry, they saw Yang Si. Zhuang sat comfortably on the chair, and Jiang Ning sat upright and smiled at them. The smile was a bit unclear to people.

The two of them were a little panicked and quickly looked at Yang Sizhuang, who was sitting at the bottom.

“Fourth brother, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?” Yang Erdan asked with a worried look on his face.

Yang Sizhuang hurriedly stood up and bowed, "Second brother, I'm fine. It's just that I'm weak and try to be strong, which embarrasses our family."

"What nonsense are you talking about! You are still young, and you can participate in Qiuwei. That is to show our parents' pride! Don't think too much. If you can't pass this time, we will try harder next time. You are still young, don't worry." Yang Er Dan sat down next to Yang Sizhuang and kept comforting him.

Yang Fugui also sat down.

Yang Sizhuang listened obediently, nodding from time to time without interrupting.

Yang Erdan's mouth was dry after talking, and he was very satisfied when he saw his brother accepting it readily. He picked up the tea on the table and drank it in one gulp. It felt good!

Just when he was about to drink his second cup, Jiang Ning smiled at him with crooked eyebrows and said, "Erdan Fugui, you see that the Four Villages have worked so hard, shouldn't you also work harder? "

Yang Erdan looked confused. He looked at Fugui who was also confused and said, "Auntie, we have been working very hard! We don't dare to relax in the work of the brick kiln. If you don't believe me, ask Fugui."

Yang Fugui nodded desperately, "Auntie, we are not lazy."

"Who said you were lazy!" Jiang Ning looked at the two of them angrily, and did not follow them in circles, but said bluntly: "I told you to take part in the imperial examination."

“Clang!” With a sound, the teacup in Yang Erdan’s hand fell to the ground and shattered.

“Aaaaaaaaaaa Niang, what’s wrong with you? You want us to take part in the imperial examination?” Yang Erdan’s eyes widened in disbelief, thinking he was hallucinating.

Yang Fugui was even more panicked, "Auntie, I can't even write well. I can't do it, I can't do it!"

Yang Sizhuang firmly grasped their hands, "Second brother, Fugui, I believe in you! You can definitely do it!"

Yang Erdan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly wanted to cry when he realized it, "Auntie, Sizhuang, please spare us! We really can't do it! It doesn't matter if our family really can't produce scholars, there is still the next generation, right? I will work harder and give birth to more children, and one of them will succeed.”

"No prospects!" Jiang Ning lost his temper, gave Yang Erdan a hard look, and told them about the reform of the imperial examination, "The government decree is expected to be sent to various state capitals before the Spring Festival. If we know it in advance, we can make some preparations in advance. The opportunity is right in front of you, you can’t miss it, understand?”

Yang Erdan and Yang Fugui couldn't react for a long time. Yang Fugui murmured: "Second cousin, am I not dreaming?"

Yang Erdan slapped him down, "Are you awake?"

Yang Fugui covered his head in pain and nodded vigorously, "I'm awake, I'm not dreaming! In this case, I'll take the test!"

He clenched his fists fiercely, with an expression as if he was looking forward to death.

Yang Erdan was shocked, "Have you really decided?"

Yang Fugui nodded heavily.

Yang Sizhuang had a childish and pleased expression on his face, "Second brother, the rich and powerful have said so. If you don't work hard, I will look down on you!"

Yang Erdan was very depressed, but even Yang Fugui, who was so much weaker than him, agreed. If he didn't agree, he would be too cowardly, and he would not be able to hold his head high among his brothers in the future.

He sighed silently and nodded, "Then I'll give it a try."

Jiang Ning and Yang Sizhuang exchanged glances, looking like their "treacherous plot" had succeeded.

Since the two of them want to study hard, they can no longer take care of the brick kiln. Fortunately, the four brothers of the Fang family have already taken charge and are trusted by the Yang family. Yang Erdan and Yang Fugui feel relieved to leave the work to them.

Xu Nuoyan knew the news and personally led people to clean up a quiet little courtyard for Yang Erdan to study.

Yang Xiaoya even stood up and said to the two of them: "From now on, I will watch you study. If you have any words you don't understand, you can ask me."

Even though she is young, because she can only write, draw, dance, write, ink, play the piano, and embroider every day, she is very good at learning these things. Her calligraphy can even compete with Yang Sizhuang.

Jiang Ning was very satisfied and said to Yang Xiaoya: "If your second brother and Fugui can both come back with honors, you will be a great contributor to our family. Just say whatever you want!"

"Thank you so much, Aniang!" Yang Xiaoya was so happy that she had to focus on these two people just because of this.

After arrangements were made, Jiang Ning immediately went to Liang's house to visit Liang Hongchang.

When Yuan received the invitation from Guang'en Marquis, she was so surprised that she almost flew into the air. She was also a little uneasy, fearing that the reception would not be adequate, so she immediately sent people to Bieyuan to find Yang Erya.

"Xueyan, what's the important thing that your mother has to do when she comes to our house tomorrow?" Ms. Yuan asked around, worried that Jiang Ning was coming to investigate. Although the possibility was slim, she still didn't worry.

Yang Erya was a little confused, "My mother-in-law is coming? Why didn't I know?"

"You don't know?" Yuan frowned slightly, her mind was spinning, and she couldn't figure it out.

The next day, everyone in the Liang family was waiting for Jiang Ning at home.

Jiang Ning came to the door and saw this fight, and couldn't help but feel funny, "My father-in-law and my mother-in-law don't have to be so polite. I came here today just to sit down, and I have something to discuss with my father-in-law."
