The two families took their seats in the hall and talked about some things that had happened since the Dong family came to the capital.

"Gengping, counting the days until you leave, have you not received the good news about the Jiyuan Palace Examination?" Dong Jingtang asked.

Feng Meng nodded, "Yes, we received a letter from Yuan'er after passing the exam. Knowing that he passed the exam, we were happy and had nothing else to ask for. Unexpectedly, when we arrived here, we heard from the manager that he got the second grade. It was really shocking. unbelievable."

"The Holy One knows people with his keen eye, and with his profound knowledge, he is worthy of being named a second-class Jinshi."

Fang said with a smile: "Yuan'er did give us an unexpected surprise, but the happiest thing is that Jiabao came back as the top pick. It's really amazing."

"Aunt Feng is too complimentary." Dong Jiabao replied humbly.

"It's really not easy for Gabo to be where he is today. He can still be strong-willed in an environment like the Northern Desert. It's not something ordinary people can do." Feng Meng looked at Dong Gabo with admiration in his eyes.

"Stop praising him," Xu Yiwan said with a bright smile, "Anyway, Jiyuan and Jiabao are both fighting for us as parents."

Mrs. Fang nodded repeatedly, "Sister Xu is right."

Then she turned her attention to Dong Jialin, "I heard that Jialin started doing business after coming to the capital, and he did it well. I didn't expect you to have business talent. It's rare."

Dong Jialin, who was praised happily, said, "So-so, in my father's words, I finally have something to do, so I won't be idle all day."

His words made Feng Meng and his wife laugh.

"Brother Dong, don't be too harsh on the children," Feng Meng said kind words for Dong Jialin, "I think Jialin is very good and has a flexible mind. He might make great achievements in the business world in the future. As the saying goes Three hundred and sixty years later, Jia Lin might be able to become an imperial merchant and shine as a top scholar."

Dong Jialin's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he seemed to have a new goal.

Dong Jingtang waved his hand and said, "Gengping, please don't praise him. I'll be satisfied if he can support himself."

"Hey, Brother Dong, you can't say that. Everything must be done step by step. Jialin's journey has just begun. There will be many opportunities in the future."

"Uncle Feng thinks so highly of me, I will definitely work hard!" Dong Jialin said solemnly.

"Okay, you are ambitious." Feng Meng smiled.

Mrs. Fang finally looked at Dong Jiafu who was sitting there quietly, and said warmly: "On the way here, I heard from Yuan'er that the doctor who Afu studied medicine with in Yangzhou also came to the capital, and Afu still goes to the hospital often. ?”

Dong Jiafu replied: "Yes, I will go over and help occasionally."

"Okay, it's good for girls to know some medical science, but don't tire yourself out."

"I took note of it, thank you Aunt Feng for your concern."

When they met again, the two families had endless things to talk about. Before they knew it, it was noon, and Guo's mother had prepared a meal and came over to ask for instructions.

Xu Yiwan stood up and invited everyone to eat together.

After the meal, Mrs. Fang said to Xu Yiwan: "Sister Xu, let the children go out for a while so that we can talk."

Xu Yiwan didn't think too much and told Dong Jiabao, "Take them for a walk outside."

"Yes, mother."

Dong Jiabo agreed, but before he could speak, Dong Jialin had already put his arm around Feng Jiyuan's shoulder and walked out.

Seeing this, Mrs. Fang laughed softly and said, "Jia Lin and Yuan'er have been playing together since they were little. Now that they are at the age of starting a family, they are still as close as they were when they were children."

"Yes, the two of them are like brothers..." Xu Yiwan carefully recalled Fang's words and her actions, and suddenly thought of something, "Sister Fang, do you have something to say?"

At this time, Dong Jiabao and the others had already left the hall and could not hear what they said.

But Feng Jiyuan was aware of it and knew that his mother was deliberately keeping them away so that he could tell Uncle Dong and Aunt Dong about his marriage to Afu.

"Hey, Huaiyun, are you hot?" Dong Jialin let go of his hand and looked at Feng Jiyuan doubtfully.

"No...no..." Feng Jiyuan looked up and saw Dong Jiafu following him, and his heart beat faster.

"No? Then why are you blushing?"

Feng Jiyuan tried it with the back of his hand, and it was indeed very hot. He quickly said: "Maybe I drank some wine just now, and now I have some stamina."

Dong Jialin believed it, "Come on, let's go for a walk in the yard and help you sober up."

"it is good--"

The four of them walked leisurely in the courtyard while talking. In the hall, Mrs. Fang had already made his intention clear.

"To be honest with Sister Xu, when we come to the capital this time, seeing Yuan'er is secondary. The main reason is to see how you are living in the capital. Seeing that everything is fine with you, Gengping and I feel relieved."

Xu Yiwan was moved after hearing this, "We are doing well now. Sister Fang, don't worry too much. We are just far away from you, and we can't see each other every once in a while like we did in Yingzhou."

"As long as Brother Dong, Sister Xu and the children are living well, we don't have to worry about staying far away. We can always find time to sit there once a year." Mrs. Fang said with relief.

Xu Yiwan couldn't help but think of those three years in Mobei. Compared with then, life now is really satisfying.

"What Sister Fang said is absolutely true. As long as the children are well, I can go anywhere."

"Speaking of the children, now that Gabo has won the first prize in the exam and Jialin has started a business and is promising, should the next step be to take care of their marriage?"

"Yeah," Xu Yiwan said with a sad look on her face as she thought about this, "I don't know many people here. I really don't know what to do about their marriage."

Mrs. Fang smiled and said, "Sister Xu is worrying too much. You don't need to worry about the marriage of the two children. There are good people who take the initiative to show their kindness."

"Ah, what did you say?" Xu Yiwan didn't understand what it meant.

"It only took three years for the number one scholar to be born, and Jiabao's background and appearance are top-notch. I dare to bet you that at this moment, there may be many people who are thinking of marrying their daughters off. . Sister Xu, just wait and see, within a few days, someone will come to your door."

"Besides, Jia Lin, with brothers like Brother Dong and Jiabao, his marriage will be good. Sister Xu can just wait and welcome the bride into the house happily."

Her words really relieved Xu Yiwan's worries a lot, "If it's really like what my sister said, then I would be too worried. As long as the children are willing, I will arrange their marriages for them."

"Sister Xu, please relax, the future marriage between Jiabao and Jialin will definitely be a success." After saying this, Mrs. Fang followed, "Afu is the only one left. I wonder if Brother Dong and Sister Xu think our home is far away." Is your son worthy of it?"

Feng Meng on the side also spoke at this time: "Brother Dong, in fact, we are here just because of these two children. When we were in Yingzhou, we made an agreement to let Afu come to our house to be our daughter-in-law. Now Ji Now that Yuan has achieved fame, shouldn’t it be time for them to finish the matter that has been delayed for three years?”
