  Chapter 318: Going to the provincial capital to take the exam

  at Anzhou Academy.

  After class, the students were walking from the school to their residences. Wei Yichen was walking on the road when he was blocked by Xu Fengyuan.

  "Brother Xu, what's going on?"

  "Things with your eldest sister are not what I want." Xu Fengyuan said.

  "What's the matter?" Wei Yichen looked at Xu Fengyuan in confusion.

  "My grandfather suddenly changed his mind and decided on another wife for me." Xu Fengyuan said.

  Hearing this, Wei Yichen was stunned for two seconds, and then he was a little happy, because the matter was finally resolved: "Brother Xu, don't be sad, you will definitely meet a better match." Xu Fengyuan was a little persistent: "Brother Wei

  , Why don't you understand me? To me, my eldest sister is different. If I hadn't met her, I would have followed the arrangements of my parents and elders and married someone they thought was suitable. But when I met her, I Then I had my own ideas."

  Seeing Xu Fengyuan's serious expression, Wei Yichen felt a little emotional for a moment.

  Wei Yichen consoled him: "Brother Xu, some things cannot be forced. My eldest sister has no interest in you, and now even the elders of your family don't like you. It shows that you two really have no fate, so why not stop here." Xu Fengyuan's

  expression Dejected: "Brother Wei, I won't give up just like that. I'm going to find a chance to go home and ask my grandparents clearly." "

  Brother Xu, the autumn exam is approaching, so you should focus on your studies." Wei Yichen warned.

  He hoped that Xu Fengyuan could focus on his studies and slowly forget about his eldest sister.

  When it comes to the autumn examination, Xu Fengyuan has indeed calmed down a bit. Indeed, he should not be bothered by the love between his children at this time.

  "I understand. I will tell my grandfather that we can slow down the marriage discussion until I win the election."

  Xu Fengyuan made a decision immediately. He would not bother the eldest girl of the Wei family, but at the same time He should also prevent the elders in the family from arranging other marriage arrangements for him.

  Hearing what Xu Fengyuan said, Wei Yichen didn't know whether to be happy or worried for a moment, but at least for a short time, his eldest sister would not have to face the trouble of negotiating a marriage with the Xu family.

  ###
  On July 15th, Wei Yichen returned home.

  This trip was mainly for two things. One was that his father was going back to the military camp after today, and he came back to see his father off.

  The second is for the autumn examination.

  The autumn examination is the provincial examination, and students have to go to the provincial capital to take part. In order to better prepare for the examination, many students will live in the provincial capital some time in advance to ensure that there will be no accidents and delays in taking the examination.

  Now the students from Anzhou College have also set off to the provincial capital one after another.

  Families with good conditions, such as the Xu family, had already bought a house for Xu Fengyuan in the provincial capital.

  Those with worse conditions will rent a secluded house in advance and have servants take care of them.

  Of course, there are also those who choose to stay in inns. There are inns that are specially rented for long-term stays by candidates taking the exam. The prices are relatively cheap and the environment is not bad.

  Wei Yichen also planned to discuss the matter with his parents when he returned home.

  He knew the situation at home. His father was an honest official and had only a meager salary. The family foundation was weak and there was not much extra income, so he planned to rent an inn like most students.

  After returning home, Wei Yichen went to see Wei Mingting and Yunshi first as usual.

  Today is a holiday. All other members of the family are here, but Wei Ruo is absent.

  Wei Yichen was not surprised by this. The disaster relief and land reclamation activities in Fucheng were currently in full swing. It was normal for the eldest sister to be extremely busy and not be able to rest. Wei Yichen mentioned to Wei Mingting and Yunshi that he was going to stay in an inn in Fucheng, but Yunshi objected.

  "You can't do this, Chen'er. You are the direct son of Uncle Zhongyi. It would be unseemly to live in an inn with those common people." Yun had her own considerations.

  Although Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion has declined, the title has not been taken away. Yun believes that the lord's family should still have the dignity it deserves.

  "Mom, I think it's better to consider the situation at home first. In this year, I should save as much as I can. In order to donate to the city's land reclamation and disaster relief operations, my mother has already used her own money and pawned my father's reward. , I can't let my parents worry anymore."

  Wei Yichen and Yun's views were slightly different.

  He knew about the land reclamation activities in Fucheng. In order not to fall behind others, the Wei family paid a large sum of money. Part of this money was given by grandparents far away in the capital, and part of it was the Yun family's own private money and pawns. Some of them were obtained from gifts at home.

  "No, no matter how difficult it is at home, I can't let you lose face in the autumn exam. There are so many people in the inn, how can you study with peace of mind?" asked Yun.

  "Most of the people staying in the inn are candidates who are rushing to take exams from all over the provincial capital. Most of them focus on studying. It is a little different from the usual inns where people are mixed." "Even if they are all students, they are divided into good and bad. It is

  inevitable You will meet some low-income people and troublemakers, and I can't let you take this risk." Yun still insisted on her opinion.

  "But mother..."

  "You don't have to say anything anymore, my mother will rent a good place for you in advance." Yun said decisively.

  Then Yun said to Wei Yichen in a serious voice: "Chen'er, the most important thing for you now is to study hard and prepare for the autumn exam. You don't have to be distracted by other things. You can leave the accommodation to your mother. You You have to believe that mother can do it for you."

  Mrs. Yun said so, and Wei Yichen couldn't refuse anymore.

  "Thank you, mother. My son has made my mother worry more." Wei Yichen said.

  ###
  At three o'clock in the morning, Wei Ruo returned to the captain's mansion.

  At this time, most people in the family have already rested.

  Different from the previous few days, today I was intercepted by Cuiping as soon as I entered the door.

  With past experience, Wei Ruo knew clearly that seeing Cuiping at the door meant that the Yun family had something to do with him.

  And if you are still waiting for yourself at this point in time, Yun's troubles with you will definitely be big.

  Wei Ruo knew that Wei Mingting would leave home for the military camp after dinner today, but he didn't expect that the Yun family would find him as soon as Wei Mingting left home.

  Wei Ruo knew that it was useless to tell Cuiping, so he simply followed Cuiping to Cangyun Garden without wasting any time.

  Entering the house, Yun was waiting for Wei Ruo.

  Looking at each other, mother and daughter looked very dull.

  Wei Ruo was as indifferent as ever, and Yun's attitude towards Wei Ruo also lost the enthusiasm and concern when they first met.

  Now she no longer expects to be close to her biological daughter.

  "I came to you because of your elder brother's affairs." Yun said.

  "What is it specifically?" Wei Ruo asked directly without mincing words.

  "Your eldest brother is going to the provincial capital to prepare for the exam and needs to rent a house." Yun said.
