Chapter 898 The best scholar’s ​​wife 17

When An Ran heard what Li Silang said, she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, Li Silang put his ear on An Ran's belly, looking like an expectant father, and said, "Baby, have you been good these days? Have you ever thought about it?" Daddy? Daddy is telling you that he passed the government examination and gave birth to a baby. Are you happy about the baby? "

Seeing him like this, An Ran couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, secretly thinking that he had done so many ancient missions, and most of the ancient people he met were quite restrained and mature, that is, Li Silang, who had a bit of a childlike innocence, probably because he had grown up with him. I'm just doted on by the old couple, so I'm a little ignorant of worldly things, and it's probably because I'm relatively simple.

Although the Li family had held a banquet when they passed the county examination last time, this time Li Silang became a boy and was even more prosperous than last time. Naturally, it was impossible not to have a banquet, so they did it again.

There is no need to worry about whether Old Mrs. Li will go bankrupt if she spends money on hosting a banquet and holds it a few more times, because for this kind of thing, others have to pay tribute. After all, becoming a child is naturally a big deal, and it is impossible for the villagers not to give gifts. Yes, there are gifts like this. As long as there is no extravagance and waste, the money for the wine is usually enough. If you budget carefully, you can usually save some.

Old Mrs. Li is naturally a very calculating person, so after two banquets, not only did she not lose money, but she also gained several hundred cents each time. Li Sansao only looked at her. Anyway, she had a lot of private rooms, so she didn't care much about it, but Li Sansao Sister-in-law Li couldn't help but regret a little, thinking that if the family hadn't been divided, her family would have been able to eat the leftover soup and water from the banquet, and then the money for the banquet would also be distributed in the future, but now that the family has been divided, these are all It belongs to the fourth family. After all, the guests were invited only after the fourth child passed the examination. The money earned from this banquet will definitely not reach the hands of the old couple. It will not become an inheritance in the future and let them get a sum. Thinking about it this way, can you not regret it? What?

I wish I hadn't separated the family in the first place. After all, who knows how this fourth child got lucky and passed the exam twice in a row. It's really unexpected. What if next year, he really gets admitted as a scholar? , then when they separated, others said they did the right thing at the beginning, but later on, others will say later that they were stupid, after all, they separated with a promising younger brother.

Of course they never thought that the fourth child was deliberately hiding his clumsiness and forcing them to separate the family so that they could enjoy the benefits alone. After all, even if the family was separated, the old couple would still be there. If the fourth child really became successful, he would definitely support his brothers. Otherwise, outsiders would say it, so there was no need for the fourth child to do this, so they also preferred what the old lady said, thinking that Shen Anran might really be a prosperous person. After all, even the masters in the temple said so, and they couldn't be wrong. .

Thinking of this, Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Li thought, this fourth child is really lucky to have married a woman who can make a good husband. Otherwise, with his greedy, lazy and spendthrift character, he will definitely be a bad guy in the future. Starved to death.

But now that Ms. Shen is a prosperous person, maybe the fourth child will be able to pass the exam next year. If she is lucky, she may even be able to pass the exam. In this case, they can no longer be like As in the past, they were afraid that Li Silang would stick to them and suck their blood, so they should continue to get close to each other, lest one day Li Silang would be admitted as a scholar or even a scholar by the Shen family, and become prosperous, but because they were too distant from him now, they would It would be bad if you ignore them then.

Thinking of this, after the banquet that day, when the old couple asked their families to get together, they quickly arrived at An Ran's house, and when they saw An Ran, they were very enthusiastic, which was completely different from before.

Immediately I heard Sister-in-law Li say: "Has the water been boiled? If not, I will boil the water while you rest."

Not only were the two families as friendly as before, but they also took the initiative to help with things.

Second Sister-in-law Li couldn't help being surprised when she saw Sister-in-law Li being so enthusiastic. She immediately understood that Sister-in-law Li was thinking about her, so she immediately said: "Yes, don't be tired. We will take care of the things in the house, and be practical." Don’t worry, just give us orders.”

Although Li Sansao has a lot of private houses, she is not as scheming as Mrs. Li and Li Ersao. Otherwise, it would not have been Li Sansao who took the lead when they quarreled about the family separation, which made Li Sansao even more displeased by Mrs. Li. So now it seems that Li Sansao and Li Ersao are against each other. Shen is so good, I can't help but feel a little strange, wondering if these two people took the wrong medicine? Just because the fourth child was admitted as a child student, do you need to fawn over him like this? Don’t you know how many people, even if they are children, will never be able to become a scholar? Besides, it doesn't matter if you are admitted as a scholar. As long as you are not a candidate, it is useless. There is no need to fawn over you.

However, thinking that they were here to help cook, they didn't think much about it and immediately helped An Ran cook.

Not to mention that Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Li were regretful and planned to get closer to the fourth family, hoping that in the future Li Silang would become a scholar and even a scholar because of his safety and prosperity, and be able to support the two families in the future. However, they said that since Li Silang became a child, Because his social status has improved, sometimes when something happens in the village, he will be called.

As long as it is not too troublesome, Li Silang will not completely refuse it, but as long as it is too troublesome, Li Silang will not participate. Firstly, Li Silang is a bit of a homebody and does not like to go out; secondly, Li Silang is lazy , afraid of trouble, so naturally too lazy to participate in these trivial matters.

Fortunately, An Ran didn't want him to have to engage in these social activities. After all, the main task she accepted was to let Li Silang obtain the honors, and nothing else was mentioned, so she just had to work hard in this area. As for Li Silang's lack of sociability, he would be in trouble in the future. After passing the exam, I don't have to worry about whether I can become an official. As long as I don't make big mistakes, nothing will happen. And as long as nothing happens, the official position will be smaller. What does it matter? Anyway, the original person is not letting An Ran Urging Li Silang to become a high official - I guess the original person also felt that it was not easy for Li Silang to obtain the title. He also asked him to be a high official. He was afraid that the person who would take the task would find it difficult and would be unwilling to accept it, so he did not publish it. Such a task.

Li Silang passed the exam and his social status improved. Naturally, Father Shen and Mother Shen were also happy for their daughter, so after hearing about it, Father Shen and Mother Shen sent An Ran another two ounces of money.

An Ran thought that Father Shen and Mother Shen were here to give gifts, so she quickly declined and said, "Father, mother, the gifts should be given by my brother and sister-in-law. There is no reason for you to give them."

Father Shen and Mother Shen said: "I am not giving you a gift, but paying for your expenses. Now that your family has become more respectable, the food, clothing, housing and transportation should not be too bad to avoid making people laugh. We were afraid that you would have less money, so we gave some to you. It’s for you, so it’s naturally your brother and sister-in-law’s business to give you gifts.”

An Ran still refused and said: "I want my brother and sister-in-law to know that you are giving me money and making trouble again. I have money now, and I don't need your parents to help me."
