After getting drunk, Gao Zongwang took a nap and it was already evening.

When he woke up, the servants of the Lu family hurriedly brought him some sobering soup, helped him drink it, and also reported the matter to He Feng and Old Man Lu.

Father Lu and He Feng came over, looking apologetic, and said, "Zong Wang, your uncle Lu was so reckless that he made you and Ah Chuan drink so much..."

"No, no, aunt, don't say that. It's all because I can't hold my liquor, so I fell down after drinking two glasses of wine. You can't blame Uncle Lu." Gao Zongwang was frightened and explained hurriedly.

Uncle Lu, he’s my future...father-in-law, how can I blame him!

Besides, it is true that I cannot hold my liquor. I usually drink too little and get drunk as soon as I drink.

Gao Zongwang was very upset. He felt embarrassed to be so drunk in front of Qingqing.

Seeing that he was sober, He Feng smiled and said, "I have already sent someone to notify your father. How about having dinner at home before going back?"

Gao Zongwang shook his head hurriedly. He had already troubled the Lu family enough by having lunch at their house. How could he dare to stay for dinner?

"No, no, aunt, I'm really troubling you today. I'll take Zongyou back first."

Seeing that he insisted, He Feng had no choice but to give up.

To be honest, the more she looked at Gao Zongwang, the more she liked him. She thought Gao Zongwang was a well-behaved child and had the same temperament as Achuan.

If he becomes my son-in-law, that’s not impossible!

"Okay, I'll take you out." He Feng asked someone to find Gao Zongyou and told him that it was time to go home.

Gao Zongyou was so engrossed in playing with Lu Jianan that he almost cried when he heard this.

He didn't want to go home anymore. He wanted to stay at Lu's house. There were so many fun things in the Lu's house! Lu Jianan was also interesting!

In front of the Lu family's gate, Gao Zongyou pulled Gao Zongwang's sleeve and asked, "Brother, when will you come again?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Gao Zongwang's face. His younger brother was young, and it was a bit rude to ask him this in front of the Lu family.

Seeing this, He Feng hurriedly smiled and said, "Zong You, when you are free, come and play with An An again. Auntie will have someone prepare delicious food for you."

Gao Zongyou jumped up with joy when he heard this, and shouted, "Okay, okay, thank you, aunt! I'll come tomorrow!"

Seeing him like this, He Feng and Old Man Lu couldn't help laughing, and the servants of the Lu family also smiled.

Gao Zongwang felt even more embarrassed. He said goodbye to He Feng and Old Man Lu with a red face, then hurriedly pulled his brother and got on the carriage.

In the carriage, Gao Zongyou was still puzzled and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you still drunk?"

"But you've been sleeping for quite a while. Sister Qingqing made you some hangover soup and asked people to go to the guest room several times to ask if you've woken up!"

Gao Zongwang felt even worse after hearing this. He grabbed Gao Zongyou's sleeve and asked excitedly, "What? Qingqing came to see me?"

Gao Zongyou nodded in confusion: "Yes, what, what happened?"

The eldest brother, who used to be calm and steady, seemed like a different person after drinking today, which made Gao Zongyou unable to understand.

Gao Zongwang was suddenly overjoyed and very excited.

Gao Zongyou: ...

at the same time.

At the He family in the capital, Mr. and Mrs. He had just received a letter from the Lu family in the capital.

The two were very happy to learn that Lu Jianchuan passed the imperial examination. Mrs. He clasped her hands together and murmured, "Buddha bless you! Buddha bless you!"

He Xinning was also standing by, looking forward to it very much, wondering how 'he' would do in the exam.

Mrs. He held the letter in her hand and said with a smile, "Master, why don't you go to the capital? For such a big happy event, someone from the family must go. Feng'er doesn't know how happy she will be!"

Upon hearing this, a trace of guilt flashed in Mr. He's eyes.

He sighed and said, "Alas, Madam, it's all my fault that you don't want to go back..."

"No, I don't blame you. If you give me another chance, I will still choose you." Mrs. He said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Mr. He's eyes showed even more guilt.

So many years have passed, and the lady has never returned to the capital. Now, their grandson has achieved such good results in the imperial examination, but the lady is still unwilling to go back.

"Forget it. If you don't want to go back, then don't go back. I will go to the capital tomorrow."

The two were discussing when He Xinning suddenly said, "Grandfather, take me with you to the capital?"

"Now that my cousin has achieved such great results, I want to go over and share in his good fortune!"

He Xinning looked at Master He, her eyes full of anticipation, and even a hint of caution, fearing that Master He would reject her request.

However, in the eyes of Master He, she looked like a weak and pitiful person who had lost her mother's love.

Master He sighed and nodded in agreement: "Okay, you haven't been to the capital very often. Now your aunt and her family have settled in the capital. Go and get to know them. It will be convenient for you to visit them in the future."

Mrs. He also had a loving look on her face. Her granddaughter had been unhappy these days, and now she was willing to take the initiative to go to the capital, which made her very happy.

At least, she is not that depressed and is still willing to go out and take a look.

After thinking for a while, Mrs. He reminded: "Xinning, when you get to your aunt's house, you must be obedient."

I don’t know if He Xue’s previous behavior had any impact on Xin Ning. After all, Xin Ning was still an unmarried girl. There were some rules that she didn’t have to follow at home, but she had to be rude when she went out.

Mrs. He's original intention was for He Xinning's sake, but to He Xinning, it always sounded very harsh.

She felt that she hadn't even gone to the capital yet, but her grandmother was so impatient that she reminded her to be polite to her aunt!

"Okay, Xinning knows, grandma don't worry!" She still agreed obediently.

As long as I can go to the capital, I will know how he did in the exam. If he does well, I can let my grandfather decide on him as soon as possible.

He Xinning was dreaming sweet dreams and happily followed Master He to the capital.

When he arrived in the capital, He Feng was very surprised.

He Feng held Master He's hand and scolded: "Dad, since you are coming, why didn't you tell us in advance? I will send someone to pick you up at the city gate!"

Master He smiled and patted his daughter's hand gently, saying, "It's okay. Your father has been to the capital so many times. I won't get lost."

However, it feels so good to be valued by my daughter!

He Feng smiled, supported Master He, and turned to talk to He Xinning: "Xinning, this time when you come to your aunt's house, just treat it as your own home, don't be polite!"

He Xinning was stunned. How could this tone sound like her grandmother talking to her? Why did it sound so harsh?

Didn't she know about this house? It was obviously bought with the money paid by my grandfather. My aunt was really hypocritical. To put it bluntly, everything in the He family should have belonged to her!

She pulled the corners of her mouth and forced a smile: "In that case, thank you very much, aunt. I will trouble you then."
