Chapter 25, Missed

Mrs. Liang comforted herself, "There are so many households in the town and there are very few talented people. It can be seen that it is still difficult to pass the exam."

Turning to Mrs. Wu, he said, "When Jin'er comes back tonight, please try to persuade him to stop thinking too much. His eldest brother-in-law only passed the exam at the age of twenty-five, so don't worry, he still has several years to go."

It is indeed difficult to pass the exam for rural scholars. For example, the old scholar from Liang Jin Academy only passed the exam when he was forty years old.

Liang Jin is still young and can take the exam again.

Mr. Wu nodded and asked Tongxi, "Has my fourth brother passed the exam?"

Tongxi shook his head, "No, there were really few people who passed the exam this year, and almost all of them failed."

I don’t know if this year’s exam questions are more difficult than last year. Otherwise, so many candidates failed, which means the questions must have become more difficult.

Old Mrs. Liang sighed, "There is no way, it's all fate."

As soon as I said this, the neighbor next door came over and asked.

“Sister, has your brother Jin passed the exam?”

Seeing her asking, Mrs. Liang shook her head and said, "No, I think the questions are more difficult this year. Tongxi said that almost all the candidates failed, which shows that the difficulty has increased."

 In order to avoid her son being called stupid, Mrs. Liang is still very good at making excuses.

The neighbor's wife thought the same way, and was very determined, "That's right, I said that my son is so smart, how could he not pass the exam? It must be that this year's questions have become more difficult, otherwise my son would have passed the exam long ago."

This is too confident to say.

Mrs. Liang felt that she was too arrogant. Her son was not as smart as her Jin'er at first glance. How could he pass the exam?

Of course, Mrs. Fang thought so too.

They all agreed that their sons were the smartest, and it was their fault that other families failed to pass the exam. The reason why their own son failed to pass the exam was because the difficulties were getting bigger.

Sister Ying looked on and snickered, thinking to herself that the mother-in-law is really biased.

  Wu is quite open-minded.

Since you have not passed the exam, keep working hard and you will pass the exam one day.

 Old lady Liang was also relieved.

After all, her son was not the only one who failed to pass the exam, and all the sons in her street also failed the exam. As long as they all failed to pass the exam, she would be relieved.

However, she still muttered, "It's a pity. I originally wanted to find a good husband for Sister Qing, but now I have to wait a little longer."

As for the eldest son-in-law, it’s almost autumn.

Mrs. Liang is also concerned about her eldest son-in-law.

If the eldest son-in-law can be successful, the daughter will be the wife who will be promoted, so she naturally hopes that the son-in-law will be successful.

When Liang Jin came back in the evening, he thought his family would be disappointed, but he didn't expect that everyone smiled and asked him to come to dinner.

“Master, come quickly. I’ve made your favorite fish **** tonight.”

Liang Jin smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't pass the exam, so I'm embarrassed to eat it."

Old lady Liang said, "What's the point? Isn't the old scholar in your academy also one of the top 40 talents? If a scholar is really that good, he doesn't have to work hard."

"You come over for dinner, don't think too much. The college exams are held twice every three years. Try again next year. At worst, you can continue taking the exams. Anyway, I believe you can do it."

Mrs. Wu also agreed, "Mother is right. No one is selected in every street today. It shows that it is not so easy to be a scholar. Sir, don't think so much, just keep working hard."

Liang Jin was relieved by their persuasion.

“Yes, this year’s questions are indeed more difficult than expected, but I will not give up easily and will continue to work hard.”

At first he felt ashamed to face his family if he failed the exam, but with his family encouraging him so much, Liang Jin felt that he could not be decadent.

 At worst, I’ll take the test again next time.

Sister Ying also stretched out her little hand and shouted at him twice, asking him to hug her.

Liang Jin brought her over and lowered his head to tease her. Sister Ying held her biological father's head and nibbled on him twice to express comfort. Liang Jin was drooled on by his daughter, and his mood improved.

Mrs. Wu hurriedly hugged her over and said, "Okay, no naughty time."

Mrs. Liang also asked Liang Jin to sit down and eat. "Okay, don't be discouraged. It's not a big deal. After dinner, you can continue studying in the academy tomorrow. It's not a big deal."

Liang Jin regained his confidence and said, "Okay."

 The family had a happy meal and then went back to rest.

 The next day, Liang Jin took the book and went back to the academy to further his studies.

This failure aroused his fighting spirit, and he wanted to pass the exam more and more.

Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Liang saw that he was working hard, so they did not dare to disturb him and asked him to concentrate on his studies.

 In autumn, news came from the Chen family.

 It is said that Sister Liang is pregnant again.

Mrs. Liang was very surprised after hearing this, "Are you serious? Sister Ping is pregnant again?"

The maid nodded seriously, "Yes, I'm pregnant. It's almost three months."

It has been more than seven years since Sister Liang gave birth to her two sons, and she has never been pregnant with a third child. If the first two were not sons, the Chen family would definitely have a lot of dissatisfaction.

I didn’t expect that after seven years, I would be pregnant again.

Mrs. Liang was very happy. After all, her daughter was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family, and her status would be more secure if she could have more children.

She happily asked Aunt Xu to get some precious medicinal materials from the box, and asked the maid to take them back to replenish her daughter's body.

“You put these medicinal materials secretly, don’t let those greedy people in the Chen family get greedy.”

 Mother-in-law Chen’s family is very picky about searching. If she saw such good medicinal materials, she might come and ask for them.

Old Mrs. Liang definitely can't let the old woman take it, of course she has to give instructions to the good girl.

The maid wrote it down carefully, and then went back happily.

Mrs. Liang hoped that her eldest daughter would give birth to a son this time, so she chatted to Aunt Xu, "If Sister Ping gives birth to another son for her son-in-law, her status will be more stable."

 Mother Xu nodded, "That's true."

Mrs. Liang suddenly thought of Mrs. Wu and frowned, "Sister Ying is already ten months old, so why is Mrs. Wu not pregnant yet?"

Mammy Xu comforted her, "Brother Jin only comes back once every few months, so it's normal if he can't get pregnant. If we let them have more contact during the Chinese New Year, maybe we can get pregnant."

Old Mrs. Liang snorted, "I just dress up all day long, not to mention working **** my children, and go out to play with a girl and a movie all day long, what's the fun in that."

 I didn’t say this in front of Mrs. Wu. If I had said it in front of Mr. Wu, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would probably quarrel again.

Mother Xu smiled and said, "A ten-month-old baby is the time when he can't sit still. When he was little, Brother Jin was making trouble every day to go out. Have you forgotten?"

 Speaking of her son, Mrs. Liang's face looked better.

But he still said harshly, "Brother Jin is a boy. It's normal for boys to be naughty. That little girl has three or four teeth in the film. She wants to eat and play all day long. She looks bad at first sight."

Mother Xu couldn’t laugh or cry when she heard this, “Why are you trying to compete with a child?”

Children of this month like to go out, regardless of gender, Mrs. Liang wants to have her grandson, so she always wants to pick a thorn in the Wu family.

"She wants to give me a grandson as soon as possible, so I won't pick on her. The key is that she has to give birth to me."

Mrs. Wu also thinks about it. The key is that your son is in the academy every day and is too busy to go home. Who do you want me to give birth to?

With Lao Wang next door?

 Old Mrs. Liang:…

  Sloppy.
