Remember for a second

Chapter 538

Xu Zifan was in the exam room, Lin Ruonan and Mother Xu were waiting in the shade outside the exam room, and Father Xu was restless in the cloth workshop. The three of them had the same idea, they didn't care whether Xu Zifan passed the exam or not, what they cared about was that Xu Zifan's body couldn't take it for a few consecutive exams.

Although Xu Zifan's health has improved recently, the 18-year pain still makes them uncontrollable.

Others sighed in private when they saw it, "What are you doing with that crime? Few of the healthy scholars who have been studying hard for many years are able to pass the exam, and the little brother of the Xu family is not in good health, so he will end up after studying for a long time. Exam? If it doesn't hold back and the disease recurs, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"

"Who said it wasn't? Boss Xu and his wife are too hearty. If I didn't dare to let my son make such a toss, wouldn't it be a beautiful life with the family's cloth workshop making money and a good wife serving him?"

"Oh, don't say it, people are not satisfied with such a good day, not only the imperial examinations, but also the cloth workshop to the Fucheng. That is Anyang Fu, I heard that it is not much smaller than the capital, it is prosperous, let's I have never been there in my whole life, nothing compares to it.”

The Xu family has heard a lot of words like this recently, and there is always a bit of disapproval and sourness in these words. They don't care either. They cherish those who sincerely bless them. It's a good thing to have a wide range of contacts in life, but if you can't get along, you don't have to force it, and you don't have to care about the opinions of others.

The only thing they are worried about now is Xu Zifan, and asking him to take the imperial examination is just to respect his decision. In fact, they really don't think Xu Zifan can pass the exam. ,all in

Xu Zifan entered at dawn and was handed in that day. Some candidates were dejected, some were beaming, and some were worried, and they were reading with their scrolls when they walked. Only Xu Zifan walked unhurriedly with a smile on his face, as if he was not here for reference, but The general who came for a walk, his demeanor attracted a lot of attention.

Lin Ruonan and Mother Xu hurried up to meet Xu Zifan, Mother Xu looked up and down at Xu Zifan, and said with concern, "Son, how are you? Sitting in it for so long, are you tired?"

Xu Zifan smiled and said, "No, I'm fine, don't worry, mother."

Lin Ruonan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that there were too many people around, and said hurriedly, "Mother, let's go back, let Brother Zifan have a good rest, and I'll make him some nourishing soup to drink."

Mother Xu nodded again and again, "Okay, I hired an ox cart, and Zi Fan lay down on the cart, let's go back."

Xu Zifan knew what they were worried about, and he didn't refuse. He neatly got on the ox cart and lay on it. Mother Xu and Lin Ruonan followed on both sides of the ox cart, talking to him all the way home, and going to the cloth workshop to call Father Xu on the way.

Xu Zifan's face was ruddy. He ate a bowl full of rice and a lot of dishes for dinner. He didn't look uncomfortable at all. This made the whole family feel at ease. .

It was like this for five days in a row. Some people saw that Xu Zifan did not do well in the five exams. Some people saw him calm and relaxed, and couldn't help but guess, was he confident or just gave up? Why don't you worry about the test results?

On the day the results came out, many people in the town went to see it. They were also curious and wanted to know how Xu Zifan did in the exam, but they were all shocked to see that Xu Zifan had passed the exam first, and he really passed the exam!

Everyone's impression of him has improved a lot at once. Originally, he was only regarded as a good character, a lively brain, not easy to bully, and frail. Now he has the advantage of being good at reading, and people suddenly think that Xu Zifan is really a good man. A rare young talent, and even many people regret why they didn't marry their daughter to him in the first place?

Ordinary people's reverence and worship for scholars are blind. When the Xu family closed the cloth workshop and was about to move, many people came to give gifts. Some of them are just a basket of vegetables and a few eggs, but the courtesy is light and affectionate. Because Xu Zifan is good at reading, most people are blessing them, and they are still saying that Xu Zifan may become an official in the future.

The Xu family has experienced many changes in the attitudes of others, and has become extremely calm. I sincerely thank them for their sincere blessings. Before leaving, they gave all the inconvenient items to everyone, and then took the carriage to leave the town and take them with them. Go to Anyang Mansion with full expectations.

Father Xu had visited Anyang Mansion before. When they arrived at Anyang Mansion, they rented a yard, and then let Xu Zifan study at home to prepare for the government exam. They would go out every morning and go back home to find a suitable shop and make connections. The time would soon pass. past.

,all in

During the period when the Xu family rented the shop for renovation and purchase, Xu Zifan passed the government examination again and ushered in the hospital examination.

Now the Xu family is no longer worried about Xu Zifan's examination for the imperial examination, and they happily cooperated with his time, making everything in the shop ready, and only waiting for Xu Zifan to pass the examination before opening.

Xu Zifan was the case leader again in the college exam. The three case leaders caught the attention of the prefect, and he specially invited him and a few students to go there to test their knowledge and character. The prefect, Mr. Liang, was an official of the fourth rank, and he was transferred from the capital. He had a deep background and was well-informed. Several students were unavoidably cautious when they talked to him, but Xu Zifan was the only one who responded as usual and responded fluently.

Master Liang liked Xu Zifan very much, and was keenly aware that he was by no means something in the pool. He gave 22 taels of silver to several talents on the open, and only told Xu Zifan in private that he had something to come to him, together with Steward Liang. Say yes.

Xu Zifan successfully achieved the reputation of being a scholar, Lin Ruonan and the second elder of the Xu family were overjoyed, and they would drag him when he got home.

He asked what Master Liang had said to him, what it was like in such a big mansion, and so on. These were things that they couldn't get in touch with before, and they didn't even dare to think about it, but now they are so easy to achieve, it feels like a dream.

Knowing that they were a little nervous, Xu Zifan reassured them: "Father, mother, Ruonan, don't be afraid, our family's life will get better and better, this is just the beginning. Master Liang is a good official, you can get close, since he Ask me to find him. If I am timid and avoid him, I will not give him face. In the future, I will often visit during the festival. With the care of Mr. Liang, our cloth workshop will not have any problems in Anyang. "

Xu Zifan's voice always carried a reassuring magic power. Anyway, Lin Ruonan and the second elder of the Xu family felt much more relaxed. At the beginning, Father Xu and Mother Xu also made a fortune in the town with nothing, but now they do it all over again, with their son and daughter-in-law to help, there is nothing to be afraid of when you think about it.

Mother Xu looked at the sky and said with a smile: "Okay, it's getting late, let's all take a rest, we'll be busy with the opening of the cloth shop tomorrow. This time our family has a double happiness, and the days to come will definitely be prosperous. !"

Lin Ruonan said with a smile: "Mother is right, our family has been working hard together, and we have never had a bad time."

This night should have been restless, nervous and sleepless, but because of their peace of mind, they all soon fell asleep. This confidence was given to them by Xu Zifan. I don't know since when, Xu Zifan has become the backbone of the family. With him, they are not afraid of anything.

On the second day, Xujiabufang officially opened. There were dragon and lion dances at the entrance, gongs and drums were very lively, and the location of the shop was good. Many people on the street stopped to watch.

Lin Ruonan came up with the idea of ​​placing the tea. Although it was only rough tea, there were many people who were tired of shopping and went to the cloth shop to take a sip of tea. And when you enter the cloth workshop, you are naturally embarrassed to go directly. You have to take a look. There are people like Lin Ruonan and Xu Mu who can talk and recommend, and the fabrics are sold a lot on the first day. Of course, this is also related to them. Opening discounts are related.

Butler Liang sent someone to send a congratulatory gift, which was inconspicuous to the people, but let everyone in Anyang House know it. Xu Zifan was appreciated by the prefect, and no one in the whole Anyang House would bully them without a wink. Xu Zifan kept this friendship in his heart, and greeted the guests to open the new cloth workshop smoothly.

The new cloth workshop is more than double the size of the original one in the town, and the ready-to-wear styles are also more novel. These are the results of Lin Ruonan's many days of investigations in the prefecture. Nowadays, most of the cloth workshop business is Lin Ruonan's idea. She has lived up to this responsibility. She has done an excellent job. She doesn't need to worry about Xu's father and Xu's mother at all. ambition.

Some merchants from the town came to Fucheng to purchase goods, and they came to visit when they knew the cloth workshop of the Xu family. When they went back, they brought the news of the Xu family back with them.

After several months of preparation, the Lin family just opened a restaurant. Lin Ruoshan was not happy when she heard that Xu Zifan was admitted to a scholar after two days. One person manages.

Lin Ruoshan felt like there were countless ants crawling in her heart, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

She only took a small step forward, but the Xu family took a big step forward. She was still laughing at a restaurant in the town. This restaurant was not hers. Lin Ruonan was already in charge of a big cloth shop in Fucheng. The most important thing is that Xu Zifan was admitted as a scholar, he was famous, and he was no longer an ordinary person!

Why is Lin Ruonan's life so good? There were only two talents in the whole town, and Xu Zifan was one of them, and she lost this talent, but it became Lin Ruonan's. Looking back on the past, Xu Zifan's tenderness and protection to Lin Ruonan, as well as the happiness and glory Xu Zifan brought to Lin Ruonan, all showed that she was blind and missed a good man.

If Lin Ruoshan is doing well, it may not be so uncomfortable, but if she is not doing well, how much the restaurant earns is not hers, she is just a small worker for the Lin family's winemaking. The gap between the Xu family and her made her unable to sleep for several nights in a row. But she couldn't help it, she couldn't get rid of such unwillingness, even if the Xu family moved away, she was still influenced by them, like a demon.

In addition to the Lin family being uncomfortable, other people who heard that the Xu family was doing well admired it. This show was taken from them, and they felt proud to say it. The old man Lin was even more cheerful all day long. Anyone in the village who met him would congratulate him. This grandson-in-law was well found, and the marriage was too good.

In particular, Xu Zifan and his wife also sent several sets of clothes and many special products of the palace to Mr. Lin, which made Mr. Lin look better. Who mentioned that they did not praise filial piety? Although they are gone, their stories are still circulating in their hometown for a long time. And this story always mentions the evil Lin Ruoshan, it is impossible for Lin Ruoshan to make people forget her.
