Zhou welcomed the Shen family with great enthusiasm, busy and busy, as if she regarded herself as the future head of the Shen family. She had been married to the Shen family for twenty years. It was not that long since Zhou married into the Shen family, but now she has really become a mother-in-law, and the burden on the Shen family is about to fall on her shoulders.

Li is old after all!

Zhou hadn't felt it before, but when he saw the old lady again this time, he felt that she was much older... Perhaps the big stone that had been pressing on his heart for the rest of his life finally landed, lost his pursuit of life, and his body collapsed.

In the past, even if the old lady had small feet, she could walk fast with small steps, but now, the old lady not only had inconvenience in her legs and feet, but also began to tremble, and she became more and more like an old woman who was in her twilight age.

"When will Qiro come back?"

"The little boy is still doing business outside. Isn't it that the officials dare not go home, right?"

"My brother and sister, send a message to Qilang to see if you can let Goro go out with him to go out and go out for a walk?"

...

Zhou's patience gradually faded as the days went by.

Chen Xi said he should come back in mid-February, but in late February, there was still no news about Chen Xi. Zhou's family couldn't wait for it for a long time and was anxious. Who would have thought that the more anxious the family would be, the more troubles there were, and the initial enthusiasm for the Shen family was exhausted as they were grinding.

Zhou has been married into the Shen family for some time. She used to be aware of the difficulties of being in charge, but she didn't understand it personally. It was an old lady's business. She just needs to focus on her own family, but she thought that it was just eating, drinking, defecating, and sleeping?

If I were to come, it would be OK!

This time, if Zhou really wanted to do his best to be a landlord, she was in trouble. She was not the leader of the family. She wanted to be an old mother for this family!

What was missing in this house today? She asked her to pay someone to buy it. Before she could get back, the child of the house was sick again. He quickly asked Xie Yuner to see the doctor. The disease was not cured yet. The old lady stepped on the air and sprained her ankle when she went out. She quickly accompanied her to the pharmacy to apply medicine, and she had to find someone to serve her. The old lady was not well yet. Xiaoyu in the pharmacy caught the wrong medicine for someone, and someone came to make trouble...

There are enough troubles, and I have to endure that Wang is constantly picking. The food is less oily and water, the clothes are torn, and the little boy is too old and the little boy is short. Zhou really wants to slap him on that hateful face.

But she still has to hold back. Who made her think that she must be the head of the Shen family in the future and have the style of a head of the family?

At first, Zhou often said: "The naive man is coming back."

Later it turned into: "Come back quickly, naive."

In the end, he became: "Why haven't the brat come back yet?"

Hui Niang initially helped Zhou's care, but Hui Niang was an outsider. She had to take into account the affairs of the chamber of commerce and the bank account, so how could she have time to help Zhou? The old lady didn't allow Xie Yuner to go to the pharmacy to help. The pharmacy was not lacking Zhou's backbone, which made Zhou even more upset.

Hui Niang saw that her sister's patience was almost wiped out, so she couldn't help but find an opportunity to persuade her: "If my sister feels unable to support herself, she will let Xiu'er and the others take care of her at home... Living at home, can she have to ask others to help me with the care?"

Zhou sighed: "I used to think that I lived my own small life in each room, just don't care about others. If I don't separate the family, I can live like a family. Isn't it good for me to support my children and support him to study? But maybe... it was because the old lady had not separated for many years, so the entire Shen family was counting on the old lady to take care of her. The old lady suddenly let go and they couldn't even take care of themselves. Alas!"

Hui Niang had never heard Zhou say such deep words. Perhaps she had such a profound experience because she had let Zhou be the home for a few days.

But Hui Niang shook her head. She felt that it was not that the Shen family could not take care of themselves, but that they were too dependent on outsiders. Some people simply asked Zhou's problems and deliberately caused trouble.

In fact, life in the city is very simple, and the cost of food and drink is enough. You only need to tell where to sell it, how much is it, and let the Shen family buy it by themselves. How difficult is it?

But in the past, the old lady was responsible for these things, and when purchasing, she asked someone to deliver the goods to her door without having to do it from each room, she developed the bad habit of having clothes to reach out and food to open her mouth.

The old lady of the Shen family has been suppressing the ability of independent people from all houses since the beginning. Even if she had the opportunity to make them independent, the old lady did not give them the conditions for independence. People like Zhou who had long started to save money for their future plans are considered an alternative in the Shen family.

"Sister, let's do this. If you feel tired, let's close the pharmacy and take care of your family. After the Shen family leaves, the pharmacy will be opened again." Hui Niang said sincerely.

Zhou shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You think I haven't thought about it before? The old lady is petty for a penny. Now she doesn't allow Yun'er to come out, just waiting for me to make money in the pharmacy to support this family!"

Hui Niang said helplessly: "Then, my sister will take care of the pharmacy and let Yun'er take charge of Shen's family affairs. I think Yun'er should be a good at handling housework."

Zhou said with suspicion: "Can she do it?"

Even if you are a daughter-in-law, Xie Yun'er is just a granddaughter-in-law. How can you manage this family well?

Hui Niang smiled a little confidently: "Let Yun'er try it. Seeing that she has been leisurely these days, maybe she should find something for her to do."

...

...

It was really different if Xie Yuner came out to help.

The biggest difference between Xie Yuner and Zhou is that she is careful and patient. In addition, she has experience in managing the Xie family, knows how to plan, and can distinguish between the primary and secondary. The most important thing is that she has a good temper and will not be in a hurry with anyone. She took over the Shen family for two days, and the Shen family was in harmony. Even Wang, who likes to make trouble, shut up honestly.

Li was so happy when he saw this: "This is my good wife of the Shen family. Not only is my Qilang the top scholar, but he also married a capable wife. With her in charge of the Shen family, I will feel at ease even if I die."

The reason why Xie Yuner was able to manage housework so smoothly was inseparable from Li's support.

Li is now resolving his past grudges with Zhou, but the old lady is very wary of this youngest daughter-in-law. She used to behave obediently and didn't argue with me. I thought you were a good wife and mother. But after a few years of her release, she trained her son to become the top scholar. But you didn't even say that you had a small treasury in private, and you dared to talk back to me. If it weren't for Qilang's sake, you would have driven you out of the house.

Even if you have the ability to make money, can you compare with my Qilang's wife?

You are just Qilang's mother, Yun'er is Qilang's wife, and she will be an imperial decree in the future. Her son will be the hope of my Shen family's inheritance in the future.

Now Qi Lang has won the top scorer, and his father has no dog son. In the future, the Shen family will rely on Qilang's lineage. No matter how capable you have, you will be like that if you give birth to many people. Look at Juro, you are so stupid that you are bullied by his sister that you will burst into tears. The difference is so big?

Just as Li was thinking about his worries, the poor Juro Chen Yun was under the porch, and his sister Chen Yier looked at her with a grimace on her face, looking at her with a bitter face, not understanding why she was treated like this.

When Li saw him, he was too lazy to pay attention. It was God who gave birth to a top scholar and gave birth to a silly son. Now he gave birth to a silly son is a punishment for you.

Such a stupid grandson can only rely on his brother to protect him in the future. He can do a job in the yamen and have mediocre qualifications all his life. What do I care about?

As soon as he turned his head, Li entered the room with the help of his eldest grandson's wife, Lu. After that, Lu came out and helped Shiro Chen Yun wipe the dust off his face.

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of February, and Chen Xi finally sent a message back from Quanzhou Prefecture, saying that he would have completed the business in Quanzhou Prefecture and would have arrived in Tingzhou Prefecture on the second or third day of the third month.

When the old lady heard the content in the letter, she almost fainted. However, Zhou muttered there: "Boy, I'm finally back, I'm going to toss my mother to death."

As the news of the top scholar's return spread, the Shen family's attitude was very different. Basically, except for Wang, everyone hopes to meet the new top scholar in the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible.

"What are the skills of the youngest son? My son will definitely be better than him in the future!"

Now Wang doesn't expect Shen Mingwen anymore. Even she herself can see that it is more realistic to expect her son to pass the imperial examination if she has to wait for her husband to pass the imperial examination. This husband is too lazy to be like a pig and has bad intentions. In the future, Shen Mingwen will have a future. Whether her status in the Shen family can be maintained is still a question.

The neighbors quickly spread the news.

In the past, many people disdained Chen Xi, thinking that it was just a flash in the pan, and when he grew up, he would become mediocre in qualifications.

But now Chen Xi is already the top scorer in high school, so what if he is mediocre in the future? The road to imperial examinations has been completed! Once he becomes an official, he will gradually increase from the current sixth rank official position. After a few years of assessment period, he can still be promoted, and even mediocre is not much mediocre.

The neighbors are ready to welcome them, and even the prefecture and county yamen in Tingzhou also have a welcome event. Needless to say, the prefecture and the prefecture and county yamen in Changting are preparing, even the prefecture and county yamen in Ninghua are also preparing.

After all, the new top scholar will return to his hometown to worship his ancestors. The new top scholar is a Hanlin official and a lecturer in the East Palace. In the future, he may be an official in the imperial lecturer. Further up there will be a Hanlin attendant, a bachelor’s attendant, and a bachelor’s attendant, and a bachelor’s attendant, and a bachelor’s attendant.

As long as you have the titles of the Young Master of the Zhanshi Mansion and the Minister of Rites, you can enter the cabinet as a Grand Secretary. If it were someone else, it might take decades, but Chen Xi, who is a lecturer in the East Palace, may be able to survive in more than ten years.

It depends on when the emperor will leave and when the prince will ascend the throne.

According to the experience of emperors in the Ming Dynasty after the ascension of the throne, the lecturer of the East Palace can be said to be a shortcut to the promotion of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. Now, the three famous Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, are all from the lecturer of the East Palace.

How can such a promising Hanlin official not be curious about it earlier?
