READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 361 A succession of happy events
Although Song Yicong is a relative of Cheng Guo Gongfu, he currently lives in Cheng Guo Gongfu, and he is also a close nephew of Cheng Guo Gong's wife. Now that I am in high school and my ranking is pretty good, many people started coming to send gifts and congratulate me upon hearing the news.
Of course, Xu’s mother couldn’t refuse in such a situation. After all, it is a good thing, and people are here to congratulate you, so there is no reason to turn people away.
Of course, she would not accept generous gifts, which meant she accepted some worthless small gifts. He also returned the gift when he left, so he didn't have to worry about being grabbed by his pigtails.
The Chengguo Duke's Mansion was very lively.
Chengguo Gongfu has also become very popular in the capital during this period, changing his previous low profile. Many people are secretly guessing whether the Chengguo Palace is preparing to do something big.
However, it is true that Xu Jiang and his son did not send any news back. There were probably a few people in Duke Cheng's mansion, but they didn't seem to do anything out of the ordinary.
As a result, everyone was a little confused again.
Could it be that they are overthinking it?
The palace examination came soon after the results were released. Song Yicong locked himself in the room to prepare for a few days, and finally went to participate in the palace examination with full confidence.
Probably Song Yicong himself had some talent and good luck. The questions asked by the emperor in the palace examination were somewhat similar to an article he had read before!
He was a little annoyed. At that time, he just took a casual glance.
But he quickly calmed down. After thinking for a while, I solemnly wrote down my opinions and thoughts.
In the end, although Song Yicong missed out on the first place, he still achieved a good result of 12th place in the second place!
This made Xu's mother and the old lady happy.
To the old lady, although Song Yicong was not a child of Duke Chengguo, he was the nephew of his daughter-in-law’s natal family! The relationship is close!
In the future, if you and your grandson become officials in the same court, you can also help each other. Isn't this the role of in-laws?
That day someone sent a letter to Duke Cheng's Mansion. After receiving the letter, Xu's mother excitedly slapped her thigh, and then hurried to the old lady's place.
"Mom, I've received a letter from my parents-in-law! My eldest brother and the others are coming over, saying they're attending Mu Hua's haircut ceremony!"
The old lady, who was already a little drowsy, perked up after hearing this and sat up reflexively. The old lady who was waiting on the side was so frightened that she quickly helped her to avoid slipping her waist!
"Is there someone coming from my in-laws' side? Who is there?"
Xu's mother read the letter and said happily: "Except for my parents, who are too old to travel far away, everyone else who has time will come! By then, Mu Hua's hairpin ceremony will be over, and Yi Cong and Bao Tong will join them again. go back!"
What the Song family means is that the two brothers Song Yicong and Song Baotong have been harassing the Duke of Cheng for a long time. In addition, Song Yicong is now in high school again, which is a great event. They thought about it and just came over.
The two families may not have visited each other for a long time.
The old lady from Duke Cheng's Mansion is still alive, and as in-laws, it's appropriate for them to come and visit her.
As for the other meaning, the Song family did not say anything in the letter.
Song Yicong is now in high school, and he will most likely be an official in the imperial court in the future. It just depends on what department he is assigned to and what position he holds. As parents and close relatives, of course they hope that he will be assigned a good position and stay in the capital from now on.
If this is the case, then it is necessary to establish a good relationship with Duke Chengguo.
That's why they decided to bring their whole family over.
When the old lady heard what Xu's mother said, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, "Okay, it's so lively! Our house may not have been so lively for a long time! Then you should arrange it well and don't neglect it. You are the housekeeper. , you can take care of everything!"
Xu's mother didn't say any polite words, and said cheerfully: "With these words from You mother, I can make arrangements with confidence and boldness."
The old lady smiled and scolded: "Look what you said, old lady, am I a stingy person? I really deserve a beating!"
"Of course I know that my mother has always been hospitable, warm and generous, otherwise I wouldn't dare accept this letter!"
Xu's mother did not say this deliberately to please the old lady.
Such a joke has really happened in Beijing before.
There was an official's wife. One year her mother's family came to the capital, bringing several people with her. After arriving in the capital, they all lived in this official's house.
It stands to reason that although more people come, their stay is also longer. But no matter what, they are his in-laws, and things like this don't happen often, as long as they don't tolerate it too much.
No matter how dissatisfied I am, I still have to wait until the person leaves before I have another attack.
Who knows, the old lady in this house is not a generous person to begin with. The first day I saw so many people living in the house, my face dropped. In the end, several people stayed there for more than half a month, eating and drinking, and spending money every day.
But this old lady felt very distressed.
In the end, I didn’t care about any face and just issued an eviction order!
Not only did he make his daughter-in-law sick, but he also became a joke in the capital.
The relatives of the daughter-in-law here did not come empty-handed, they also brought many gifts. Coming to the capital is not just for fun, you have serious business to attend to.
Who knew, he would be kicked out before this matter was settled!
They were so angry that they also threatened to never visit me again!
That's why this matter became known to everyone.
The old lady may have remembered what happened, and curled her lips, "Then the old lady from the Zeng Mansion is just stupid. She can eat as much as a few relatives can eat, but she is stingy and makes people laugh."
She has a great career in the Duke's family. Let alone staying here for ten days and a half, even if she stays for a year and a half, she can afford and be willing to support her! Instead of guarding those dead things, it would be better to go out and make the house more lively and popular!
Xu's mother sighed: "The best blessing for me in the rest of my life is to have such a good husband."
Although her husband is not around, her mother-in-law never makes things difficult for her daughter-in-law. The children he gave birth to were all well-behaved and sensible.
Life is like this, there are gains and losses.
Xu's mother felt that the days to come would definitely get better and better, and her husband would come back from the border one day!
The old lady glared at her, "Why are you saying such things? There will be more blessings in the future! There will be even greater blessings!"
Xu's mother lightly slapped her mouth, "Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing. The good fortune of our Chengguo Duke's Mansion is still to come!"
After sitting with the old lady for a while, Xu's mother couldn't help but get up and leave. She was busy preparing for her mother's family to come to visit her!
Thinking that the haircut ceremony for Mu Hua would be coming soon, and relatives from her mother's family would come to visit again, Xu's mother's heart couldn't help but be excited, full of anticipation, and her face was flushed. The smile on his face never fell!
