The second day is the tenth day of the lunar month, and the Gongyuan Examination is held.

Early in the morning, the government sent a carriage to wait at the gate of Gongyuan.

As a result, Rong Zhiming was not picked up until almost noon.

"Hey, the uncle came here looking pale and exhausted. As soon as he got out of the car, the smell of his body almost smelt everyone over. When the maid saw the eldest lady, she forced herself to go up and pull the uncle away, and then sent him away

I went back to his yard. I heard that after the uncle took a bath, he didn’t even eat lunch and went to bed directly.”

Shi'er ran to the outer courtyard to join in the fun.

After joining in the fun, she ran back to Xingruoyuan and spoke vividly to Rong Qiaoyan and Aunt Yang.

It was a crisp autumn day, so the windows in the main room were opened to let in some fresh air.

In an instant, laughter and laughter spread throughout the room.

Rong Qiaoyan held the book in her hand and listened to Shi'er's crisp words, but her thoughts couldn't help but drift away.

Rong Zhiming is indeed a talent that Rong Mansion focuses on cultivating.

In this provincial examination, he deservedly passed Xie Yuan, and he was very glorious for a long time.

In the spring of next year, Rong Zhiming entered the top three in the first class. During the palace examination, the emperor saw his handsome appearance and selected him as the top pick.

This is not because Rong Zhiming is not good in talent and learning, but because the top pick and the second pick are both in their prime.

From the previous dynasty to the present, among the top three in the First Class, the youngest and most handsome ones are the ones who are easily chosen as the most beautiful young ladies.

Therefore, throughout the dynasties, Tanhualang was the most popular in Yijiali.

If Rong Zhiming hadn't already been engaged and was about to get married, I don't know how many nobles and nobles would have robbed her of her.

Even so, Rong Zhiming later took in many concubines who came here because of his fame.

This made Grandma Rong drink a lot of vinegar and do a lot of things, and she became a joke in the back house.

After all, if you can't control your husband, you will only let your concubine live in the house to vent your anger, and do it blatantly. Isn't that making people laugh?

Rong Qiaoyan retracted her thoughts and looked out the window at the fallen leaves that were being blown by the wind.

It's getting cold here.

Because Rong Zhiming had to enter the examination room on the afternoon of November, no one dared to disturb him that night or the next day.

Rong Zhiming repaired it at home and replaced it with a new pen and inkstone.

On the afternoon of November, the other female family members were left at home. The eldest lady took Rong Shunhua and Rong Zhuohua to see Rong Zhiming off.

After all, the exam is not over yet. Every time he is so excited, it puts a lot of pressure on Rong Zhiming.

Similarly, Rong Zhiming finished the second exam on the twelfth day, returned home on the thirteenth day, and entered the examination room again on the fourteenth day.

As a result, it rained all night on the night of the 14th.

On the morning of the 15th, although the rain stopped, the wind became even colder after the heavy rain.

The Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th is a big festival. Even if Rong Zhiming is worried about taking the exam, the family still has to celebrate the festival.

Therefore, Rong Qiaoyan, who had been banned for nearly half a month, finally received the notice of unblocking.

In the evening, after the moon worship ceremony was held in the mansion, all the masters of the mansion gathered together in the banquet hall and had a sumptuous dinner.

However, Rong Zhiming is the direct eldest son after all, and his exams are already worrying Rong Shoufu and the eldest master.

As a result, it was both windy and rainy, which made people even more worried that he would not be able to take the exam due to the cold.

Therefore, both of them were actually drunk.

The banquet for the women's family members had already dispersed, and the table where Chief Rong, the eldest master, and the second master were still sharing a cup of wine.

At the beginning of Haishi, Shi'er, who had been staring at the banquet living room, hurriedly returned to Xingruo Garden to report to Rong Qiaoyan.

Rong Qiaoyan's heart dropped when she heard that the eldest man had just been helped to the study room in the outer courtyard.

On weekdays, the corner door leading from the backyard to the outer courtyard is locked at all times.

Only during various festivals, the corner gate will be locked at four o'clock.

Although the holiday atmosphere in the house was not lively enough this year because Rong Zhiming attended the Qiu Wei Festival, the rules remained the same as before.

After finishing washing, Rong Qiaoyan and Nanny Yang slowly walked out of the room and walked to the door of Bailiu's room in the yard.

On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, the full moon hangs in the sky. The bright moonlight makes the nearby stars dim and almost invisible.

"Nanny, the silver moon is really shining today, and I wish you all the best. I only hope that my eldest brother will be able to achieve high school!"

Rong Qiaoyan shook her fan and said with a smile to Grandma Yang.

"Yes. In fact, the old lady and the eldest uncle don't have to worry about the eldest brother at all." Nanny Yang agreed.

"Exactly. From the moment my father started drinking, I knew that he would definitely drink too much. So I quickly asked Bai Liu to come back and make some sobering soup for my father. But I didn't expect that my father would only go to the study room in the outer courtyard to rest after drinking until this hour.

Hey, it's too late, it's not convenient for me to deliver sobering soup to my father." Rong Qiaoyan said to Bailiu's window.

"Although it is a little late at this time, it is inconvenient for young lady to go out. However, the courtyard door is not locked. Why don't you send a servant to deliver it to the elder?" Aunt Yang suggested from the side.

"Not good. Someone else must have given it to me, right? If I were to give it away, I'm afraid it would be too conspicuous, and others would think I'm trying to win favor. Let's forget it."

Rong Qiaoyan said in a depressed tone.

It sounds like he is timid and afraid of getting into trouble.

Seeing this, Grandma Yang no longer persuaded Rong Qiaoyan to send someone to deliver sobering soup.

Instead, after chatting for a few more words, he persuaded Rong Qiaoyan that it was time to take a rest.

Rong Qiaoyan naturally agreed.

As she walked, she said to Bai Liu's door: "Bai Liu, get up and pour the sobering soup that is warm in the tea room before going to sleep. Your sister Miaozhi is busy in the room with Shi'er."

"Yes, maid, come out right now." Bai Liu's voice came from far in the room.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Rong Qiaoyan let Baimei and Moer go back to their home to celebrate the festival.

It's a festival, and servants also want to spend the festival with their own families.

Therefore, good masters will let some of their servants go home during festivals.

Rong Qiaoyan is naturally the same.

She let Bai Mei and Mo'er go back this year because she let Bai Liu and Shi'er take leave last year.

Miaozhiman has no relatives in his house, and he doesn't recognize any godmother, so naturally he doesn't want to take a vacation.

Shi'er didn't like her godmother who only asked her for money, so she rarely went back. Now Rong Qiaoyan doesn't give her a holiday, but it suits her perfectly.

Although Grandma Yang had a son, she had important things to do during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, so she was naturally worried and asked not to go back.

And Bai Liu had been embarrassed all day because Rong Qiaoyan didn't let her go back to celebrate the festival.

Now, after hearing the conversation between Nanny Yang and Rong Qiaoyan, she began to feel truly happy.

If Bai Mei were here, Bai Mei would have done all the work of boiling and pouring the hangover soup.

"Mother Shi, come here and help Shi'er clean up the clean room and then carry the bathtub out."

Grandma Yang called the caretaker on duty and led her into the clean room of the main room.

Rong Qiaoyan finished taking a bath, but she never asked anyone to clean the room. Instead, she asked Miaozhi and Shier to clean up the small study and bed.
