Chapter 130 Why does his family get all the good things?
Some are happy and some are sad.

The clerk who came to report the good news only mentioned Changbai's name, but did not mention a word about Changfeng who was next to Changbai. This made Changfeng look worried.

Logically speaking, they are all family. If both of them are on the list, even if this clerk did not come specially to announce the good news for Changfeng, he should at least mention it. However, the clerk in front of him was completely concerned about the reward money that Mother Liu had just given him. Seeing that he was about to be invited into Wang Ruofu's house for dinner, he had no intention of saying anything else.

Sheng Hong could only take the initiative to speak:

"I have another son at home who is also taking the provincial examination. I wonder if he passed this time?"

"Ah? There is another person in your house?"

Upon hearing this, the clerk's face froze.

Every time, the first six candidates in the provincial examination had to fight for the chance to announce the good news. This time, it was finally my turn. In my joy, I only paid attention to Sheng Changbai's family background and the names of the direct descendants of the Sheng family. Could it be that the other person was the illegitimate son of the Sheng family?
The clerk raised his head and looked back.

Sure enough, he saw that the well-mannered and happy Ya Kui was standing next to a man of the same age, looking eagerly at him.

I didn't expect such a misunderstanding...

However, the clerk was also quick-witted and said:
"We who are here to announce the good news are all following the orders of the chief officer. As soon as the list is released, we are instructed to come here to announce the good news. I only saw that there are two candidates in your family, but I don't know whether the other young master of your family passed the exam."

In front of the host, he certainly couldn't say that he didn't notice, so the clerk only said that he saw the name, but because he came out early in the morning, he didn't see Sheng Changfeng's situation clearly.

Sheng Hong had no choice but to nod, then smiled and invited him into the house for a banquet, and then presented him with a generous gift.

The clerk was taken by Mother Liu to the side hall for a banquet, and the other children of the Sheng family immediately congratulated Changbai.

Even Chang Feng, although he didn't hear his own name and felt empty in his heart, he forced himself to cheer up and congratulate Chang Bai.

Wang Ruofu shouted and asked the whole family to go home to celebrate.

However, Chang Feng said:

"The servant sent by the family to check the list has not returned yet. I am waiting at the door. Madam, please go in first."

Wang Ruofu didn't care. She knew Chang Feng hadn't given up yet, so if he wanted to wait, he could just wait.

Just as he was about to invite Changbai in, he was interrupted by Changbai:
"Mother, you guys go back first. I'll stay with Brother Feng for a while."

Although Changbai also disliked Lin Qinshuang's behavior, he treated his younger brother Changfeng and younger sister Molan equally, and fully fulfilled his responsibilities as an older brother.

Even though she was happy at the moment, she still waited at the door with Chang Feng.

Seeing this, Sheng Hong, who was standing by, showed a look of relief in his eyes.

Bai'er is worthy of being the treasure tree of our Sheng family.

He is well aware of the importance of harmony among family members and peace among brothers.

When Wang Ruofu heard Changbai say that he wanted to stay and keep him company, she wanted to stay there and wait together, but Sheng Hong grabbed her and quickly walked inside.

"Since Bai'er wants to accompany Feng'er, let's go in first and wait for them to come in before starting the banquet."

Seeing this, other families in Jiying Lane all showed envious expressions.

The eldest daughter of the Sheng family is about to become the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion.

His eldest son, who had good conduct, also won the second prize.

Plus, brotherly love and respect...

I really don’t know what kind of blessings his family had in his previous life, that all the good things went to the Sheng family!
After a long time, the breathless servants finally got home.

Seeing that they had returned, Chang Feng, who was extremely anxious, did not bother to scold them for being slow, and immediately stepped forward and asked his servant:

“Am I on the list?”

"Here he goes, sir! The eldest sir is here too! And he's the sixth-placed Yakui!"

When Chang Feng heard that he was on the list, he was immediately delighted.

The annoyance just now disappeared without a trace.

"Come on, big brother, our family is going to have a happy drink tonight!"

Several families nearby, unable to suppress their curiosity, were eavesdropping behind the door.

When they heard that the eldest son of the Sheng family had also passed the exam, they were all stunned.

Oh my God!
How come all the good things happen to the Sheng family? (Envy, jealousy, and hatred!)
At the same time, he thought to himself: Both sons of the Sheng family have passed the imperial examinations, so there will definitely be a banquet to be prepared. At that time, I must find a way to become in-laws with his family!
Even if you don’t have a daughter of the right age, you can choose someone from your relatives!

Don't be in a hurry to get ahead, take me with you!
Sheng Hong was delighted that both of his sons passed the imperial examination.

Old Madam Sheng sat at the banquet that night, and with the respect of Changfeng, the illegitimate son, Sheng Hong also invited Lin Qinshuang and Wei Shuyi to attend.

Although Mrs. Sheng was not happy to see Lin Qinshuang, she did not refuse because she was happy today.

Wang Ruofu felt a little uncomfortable at first.

She didn't feel anything about Chang Feng passing the imperial examination, but when she thought that Lin Qinshuang would benefit from it, she began to feel uncomfortable.

But after a while, Wang Ruofu thought that her son Changbai was the sixth runner-up, while Changfeng was just a last-place winner, and she felt much better immediately. She looked at Lin Qinshuang with disdain in her eyes.

Your son is not as good as my son!

Your son is born by you, and my son is born by me, which roughly means you are not as good as me - this data comes from Wang Ruofu's unit conversion formula.

That night, Wang Ruofu and Sheng Hong discussed in the room how to entertain the guests and celebrate.

Wang Ruofu planned to take this opportunity to invite some ladies from noble families to her home, so as to arrange a good marriage for Changbai.

But as soon as he said this, Sheng Hong rejected it outright.

Changbai is the eldest son of the Sheng family, so his marriage should be handled with caution.

Moreover, Sheng Hong also hoped to arrange a marriage for Changbai after the imperial examination next spring.

If he gets a place in the spring examination, and then asks Hualan, the lady of the Marquis's Mansion, to find a girl, the girl he marries will be of a much higher social status, which will be of great benefit to Changbai's official career.

Wang Ruofu thought it made sense and nodded in agreement.

Then he turned to prepare the banquet.

It just so happens that my uncle Wang Shunqing and his family have already arrived, and then I can call my brother Wang Yan and sister Wang Ruoyu to come along.

Sheng Hong knew that Wang Ruofu was extremely happy, but he was a steady person by nature, so he didn't plan to make a big fuss, so he said:
"Hua'er is getting married soon. Now we have two children who have passed the imperial examination. Bai'er is still Yakui. Our family is already in the spotlight. We should not spend lavishly. We should only invite relatives and friends. There is no need to invite others."

Wang Ruofu agreed naturally: What do other people have to do with me?
Sheng Hong nodded and continued:

"Then just invite the eldest branch of my Sheng family, your mother's family, and your uncle and his family. The time will be in the evening. I will host a banquet for my colleagues at noon. After all, they should all know about this matter, so I have to invite them."
