After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Xiao Mochen was silent for a long time and asked: "Does Auntie know that you plan to take the scholar examination?"

Li Xiangkang shook his head and said: "I didn't tell my mother. If I pass the exam, I will naturally give her a surprise. If I fail, she won't be disappointed if she doesn't know."

Xiao Mochen nodded after hearing this, feeling that what he said made sense.

He once thought that Li Xiangkang was too young to keep up with his pace, but now it seems that he is short-sighted.

For someone as powerful as my aunt, her children will naturally be good.

In particular, Li Xiangkang may be as talented in government affairs as he is in the future.

He has always hoped that if he could inherit the throne in the future, he would have a brother who could become his right-hand man.

But the Tian family has no relatives, and his brothers all want to kill him, his legitimate son. It is difficult to live in peace with them, let alone let them sincerely help him.

Now it seems that the four brothers of the Li family treat him more sincerely.

However, among the four brothers of the Li family, he and Li Xiangkang are the closest.

Firstly, the two are similar in age, and secondly, Li Xiangkang will pursue an official career in the future, so the two are destined to have more in common.

Xiao Mochen stayed in Li Xiangkang's study for a long time. In addition to chatting, the two also discussed the topics left by the master.

After the discussion, both of them had deep feelings. They learned from each other to look at problems from different perspectives.

Yan Qingqing smiled when she learned that Xiao Mochen was chatting with Li Xiangkang in the study, and then asked Ruyi to tell the kitchen to bring some refreshments to the two of them.

She also hopes that Li Xiangkang can relax.

That day, Yan Qingqing was thinking about cooking some of Li Xiangkang's favorite dishes when another news came from the concierge that Han Xiucai was asking for a meeting.

Yan Qingqing was a little surprised when she heard that there had been no news about Han Xiucai since she and Magistrate Ling went to Fucheng to rescue Han Xiucai.

However, the disposal of Zhao Luming and Shen Hongyan has already been completed.

Because Zhao Luming was jealous of his classmates and deliberately framed him, Han Yu was imprisoned, which chilled the hearts of scholars all over the world, so he was cut off from his reputation as a scholar.

And he reported it to the academic administration and would never be hired.

Shen Hongyan has bad conduct, is jealous by nature, is against women's ethics, and is deliberately framed. Beat him up to thirty times and compensate Han Yu 5000 taels of silver.

Shen Tongzhi knew that he had no way to educate his daughter, so he was fined a year's salary and ordered to strictly discipline Shen Hongyan.

I heard that Shen Tongzhi had someone pick up Shen Hongyan and take her directly to the nunnery after he came out of Lord Mei's mansion.

When the news came, Yan Qingqing sneered a few times. Shen Tongzhi was really cold and cold, and he could abandon his own daughter at the critical moment.

I heard that after Shen Hongyan was sent to the nunnery, Mrs. Shen did not cry or make trouble. She was even more generous than before. She even went to Shen Tongzhi to apologize and said that she had not taught her daughter well, which made the Shen family's face black.

Shen Tongzhi felt guilty but didn't say much, but Yan Qingqing knew that Mrs. Shen would definitely not give up. It was not Mrs. Shen's style to swallow her anger like this, and there was probably a bigger conspiracy brewing.

Ru on the side saw that Yan Qingqing was silent and thought that she did not want to see Han Yu, so he said, "If Madam doesn't want to see him, just ask the concierge to reject him."

Only then did Yan Qingqing come back to her senses and said, "You girl, Han Xiucai is here, how can you not see her?"

Yan Qingqing spent a lot of effort to save Han Yu, and even specifically persuaded Magistrate Ling to go to Fucheng together. Although there was a feeling of guilt for causing Han Yu, who actually saved him.

Yan Qingqing met Han Yu in the flower hall. After seeing Yan Qingqing, Han Yu gave him a solid salute. Yan Qingqing hurriedly walked over and helped him up and said, "What are you doing? You are a scholar. It can be seen that officials who do not kneel do not need to perform such a big salute."

Han Yu heard this and replied: "I did this gift for no other reason than to express my gratitude to Ming Zhaoshuo for his life-saving grace.

From now on, no one in Chongqing would dare to disobey Ming Zhaoshuo. "

Yan Qingqing laughed when he heard this and said: "This matter is just a little effort. You are a talented and ambitious person. You should do great things for the country and the people, instead of being trapped by that villain.

Besides, I really didn't do much to save you. Magistrate Ling was responsible for everything. "

Yan Qingqing was telling the truth. She didn't need to take action when they arrived in the capital. Who knew that Magistrate Ling's background was so powerful that even the Chief Secretary Mei gave him some face?

Of course, in order to avoid Mrs. Mei's wrath, Magistrate Ling took her out of the city overnight, so there was no need to let outsiders know.

Han Yu saw that Yan Qingqing had no intention of taking credit for herself, and he admired and appreciated her even more.

Then he spoke again: "People of Ming Zhaoshuo don't have to be humble, Yu knows it well.

If you hadn't come forward, how could Magistrate Ling go to Fucheng? Of course, Magistrate Ling Yu is also grateful. "

Han Yu actually knew very well about this matter. If it weren't for Yan Qingqing, Magistrate Ling probably wouldn't care about it at all.

So from his heart, the person he was most grateful for was Yan Qingqing.

Yan Qingqing didn't want to discuss life-saving grace with him here, so she changed the subject and asked him about his studies.

Han Yu was full of confidence when he mentioned this. Although he has been recuperating in Fucheng during this period, he has not relaxed in his studies. He will definitely take the exam this year.

Looking at Han Yu's confident look, Yan Qingqing knew that there should be no problem with him winning the exam this year. Besides, if Han Yu hadn't been a good scholar, the eldest son of the Shen family and Zhao Luming wouldn't be jealous of him.

Yan Qingqing just gave him a few simple instructions, telling him not to be too stressed and to treat Qiu Bi with care. After all, ten years of hard work were just for this day.

However, Yan Qingqing's relationship with Han Yu was still shallow, so she didn't say much.

But these words felt warm in Han Yu's ears. Even Han's father and mother had never said such words to him.

Han's father and mother put all their efforts into helping him study in order to make him proud of his ancestors.

Especially after he was framed, his parents became even more frightened. In particular, Mother Han was always on tenterhooks, urging him to get ahead so that he would not be bullied in the future.

He could understand his parents' painstaking efforts, but the longer they talked about it, the more pressure he felt.

In the end, when Han Yu left, he left behind a manual, which contained the answers to the excellent test papers for previous years.

In ancient times, there was no three-year college entrance examination or five-year simulation like later generations, especially these valuable answer sheets that ordinary people simply couldn't get.

Even Yan Qingqing never thought of getting these things for Li Xiangkang.

Therefore, Han Yu's gift is more precious to the Li family than any gold, silver, or jewelry.

Yan Qingqing accepted it immediately and called Li Xiangkang out to thank Han Yu.

This made Han Yu feel a little embarrassed. He came to Li's house to say thank you.

However, this incident also brought Han Yu closer to the Li family.
