A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich

Chapter 257 The Widow and Old 7...

"Yes, Dad."

"What do you want to do with this powder?"

"I haven't considered my daughter-in-law yet. Right now, the most important thing is the Crown Prince's imperial examination."

"Ahem... It's like this. Next year, your mother and I will return to the capital to attend His Majesty's birthday celebration."

So?

Lin Xiaomi waited quietly for his next words.

"I want to give this to the Queen." It was difficult for him to say this. He felt ashamed that his father-in-law coveted his daughter-in-law's things. But this thing would definitely please the Queen Mother and the Queen.

The women in the palace care about their appearance more than anyone else.

It is of great benefit to their families if those in high positions are happy.

He tried it himself in the morning. Not to mention a woman, even he, a man, felt very good after touching himself after doing it.

"Dad, if it's useful to you, just take it."

She understood that her father-in-law wanted to use her things to curry favor with his superiors.

Power is more important than gold and silver. It is a good thing that the eunuch can use this thing to curry favor with others. It is good for the Marquis's Mansion and for her.

If one prospers, all prosper; if one suffers, all suffer. We are all grasshoppers on the same rope.

Xiao Zhen didn't expect Lin Xiaomi to be so generous. Everyone knew the potential value of this thing. After giving it to the palace, they couldn't sell it outside unless they got permission from above.

He was very pleased that she could resist the temptation of gold and silver and had a far-sighted vision. With such a virtuous wife to help him, his son would surely go further.

"Dad, this flour mask is called Jade Cream. What do you think of it?"

"Not bad, not bad, very good!" This name sounds high-end.

After finishing the business, Sun started to drive people away.

"You have to go to the examination room tomorrow morning, go back and get some rest. Xiaomi, you and Ran'er should not come tonight, we will go and see him off tomorrow morning."

Lin Xiaomi was eager to do so. She also wanted to go back early and continue cooking for Xiao Ran for the next three days.

There are still a lot of dried vegetables and meat left, and the oil tea noodles, fried rice, etc. need to be freshly made. I also want to make some meat floss for him to take away, but the meat is too hard, and these are time-consuming snacks.

First, cut the lean meat into pieces and put it into the pot, add ginger, garlic, star anise, pepper and salt. After cooking, pick out the seasoning, tear the meat into small strips, put a little oil in the pot and fry until dry, then use a stirring stick to beat it into matsutake mushrooms!

The atmosphere in the mansion has become a little strange recently. The women no longer visit and chat every day like before. The men no longer sit around catching cats and walking dogs, but stay at home to watch their sons (grandsons) study.

It seemed that everyone was trying hard to catch up with Xiao Ran.

The Marquis's Mansion, unknowingly, began to roll back. The sons (grandsons) who were forced to study hard by them were all miserable. When would this miserable and miserable life end?

After Xiao Ran finished the provincial examination, he wrote his essay to the teacher that night. After reading it, the teacher knew that he had secured admission to the imperial examination.

"Take a good rest for a few days. Next year, I should be able to go to the capital to take part in the imperial examination."

"Thank you, Master!"

The teacher's meaning was very clear, he would be able to pass the exam.

"My Lord, for such a big event as passing the imperial examination, do we need to hold a banquet?"

"I don't plan to do it. Anyway, Ningzhou's relatives all live in the Marquis' Mansion. At that time, they may have to have a meal together, just like the Mid-Autumn Festival."

They don't want to have dinner with you. With San Ya, a gossip expert, there's no way she doesn't know about what's going on in the mansion recently.

Everyone was having a hard time because of Xiao Ran, and they were forced to study every day. How could they want to celebrate for him? They were just being polite by not drawing a little man to curse him.

The other children that these parents praise are the ones these children hate the most.

But I am unaware of it and keep trying to make my presence known in front of them from time to time.

The results of the provincial examination came out, and Xiao Ran ranked 12th. With this result, he might not do very well in the imperial examination.

"Grandpa, Dad and Mom, I don't plan to participate in this exam. I feel that I have many shortcomings and want to work hard for another two years."

Xiao Ran said to his elders at the celebration banquet. This was also what he had discussed with his wife yesterday. On the one hand, his parents returned to Beijing and they were anxious to run back and forth for him, and he felt bad.

Secondly, he really had no confidence in the imperial examination. If he had no confidence, why did he go? Was he really going there just to go through the motions and be cannon fodder, as his wife said?

No, he wants to make a splash, so wait a little longer!

Not urgent.

The old marquis nodded, and his grandson became more and more calm. He was not overwhelmed by the small achievements in front of him. He was aware of his shortcomings, was not arrogant or impatient, and knew how to calm down.

Because of him, each family became hardworking and motivated, and there were fewer troubles in the mansion.

The elders of each family looked at Xiao Ran, then looked at their own younger generations, gritted their teeth, and decided to roll up. They would roll up the same way Xiao Ran rolled up, and they didn't believe that they couldn't cultivate a juren.

The younger generation are about to cry, bastards, they actually didn't take the exam, if they continue to take the exam, they will really be crushed. There is really no end in sight for their hard days, they are desperate, really desperate!

They miss the old Xiao Ran.

.....................

The days passed without any waves or traces.

When Lin Xiaomi went out of the house to inspect the hot pot shop business, he unexpectedly saw an acquaintance at the entrance of the alley. He was acting sneaky in broad daylight, and there was a woman following him. Where was he going?

"Follow them quietly and see where they go." He sent a servant who was usually smart.

This person was none other than the son of her father-in-law's half-brother, and could be said to be her husband's adopted cousin.

Aren't these people in the palace fighting internal conflicts recently? What is he doing here? The woman has a woman's bun, why is he walking with a married woman? Doesn't he know that men and women need to avoid suspicion?

Just, something is wrong.

In the store, Lin Xiaomi no longer had the mood to inspect. She always felt that something bad was going to happen.

"I'll go sit in the box, and when the servant comes back, tell him to come see me."

"Got it, ma'am."

San Ya saw that she was really in a bad mood, with a serious expression. She stood behind waiting and didn't dare to say a word.

Nearly an hour later, the servant came back to report.

"Madam, I followed the Seventh Young Master. He entered the casino and I waited outside, but he didn't come out. I was afraid you might get anxious, so I came back first."

Damn, this naughty kid actually learned to gamble. Doesn't he know that nine out of ten times he loses? Even if there are mountains of gold and silver at home, it is not enough for him to gamble.

I thought he was going to play with other people's women, but it turned out to be something much more outrageous.

"Where is the woman beside him?"

The servant found it difficult to speak, and when people talked about it, he almost dropped his jaw in shock.

How horny was the Seventh Young Master to find such a woman. Even he would not find such a woman, he would look down on her and despise her!

He swallowed his saliva and said, "I heard she is a widow from Qianjia Village." And she is ten years older than the Seventh Young Master. This is not looking for a lover, it is basically finding a mother for himself.

A widow! No wonder she looks about the same age as her mother-in-law.

"Is the widow a pimp? Is she the one who instigated Old Seven to gamble?"

Madam is still young and too naive after all.

"No, I heard that she has been playing with the Seventh Young Master recently."

"Accompany and have fun?" Is that what she meant?

"Yes."

"The widow and the seventh..."
