The three of the Wu family had a discussion, because the second elder brother Wu was pregnant, and the time was rushing for this trip. It would be bad if he hurt the child, but he couldn't be left alone in the capital. , so Wu Bai also stayed, and only one person went back this time, and that was Wu Kang'an.

After making this decision, Wu Kang'an also took out most of his money and bought a small house on Yongning Street. On the one hand, it was because of insufficient money, and on the other hand, the street was not far away from the patrol department. Far, relatively safe for the two brothers.

At this point, Wu Kang'an was still worried, and he specifically asked Xiao Zimo to take care of the two of them.

In fact, Xiao Zimo was willing to borrow Wu Kang'an's money to let the other party buy a bigger house and buy many servants to take care of the two elder brothers, but Wu Kang'an refused because he couldn't let himself owe Xiao Zimo There are more and more favors, otherwise, if Xiao Zimo and Wu Bai have conflicts in the future, who is he helping?

After buying the house, Xiao Zimo came here to help them move.

In the end, Wu Kang'an took his own baggage and the expenses reserved for himself in advance, and followed a caravan back home.

This caravan was contacted by Xiao Zimo, because of this, he still trusts this caravan. Along the way, he did not object to when the caravan said when to leave or rest, and followed the caravan. They acted together, which made these caravan people look at each other with admiration. The other party did not expect Wu Kang'an, a scholar, to be able to endure hardships like this.

Caravans are generally in a hurry, and many goods need to be sold as soon as possible to make money, so they went south this time, and it only took half a month to reach Lizhou Prefecture.

After arriving in Lizhou Mansion, Wu Kang'an made an appointment with the caravan people on the time and place to meet next time, and then separated from them, because the caravan was going to continue going south, but he didn't need it.

Xu Shi was eager to go home. Wu Kang'an originally needed to spend four days on the trip, but it took him three days to reach Nanping Town.

He first went to his own shop, and found that the business in the shop was still as good as ever, and he even felt that the business was a little better than before he left.

Can it be bad?Now everyone in the whole town knows that the owner of this store has a son who is going to Beijing to catch the exam. If the other party can pass the exam, he will be an official. It's too late for them to fawn on him, and no one will trip up the store. child.

Someone wanted to get his family's braised pork recipe before, but when they inquired about it, they found out that Wu Erlang had gone to Beijing to rush for the exam, so they gave up, fearing that Wu Erlang would come back to settle accounts with them after being admitted as an official.

When Wu Kang'an arrived at the shop, the shop was already closed, and Wu's father was about to close the shop and go home when he saw a person standing at the door.

Father Wu was surprised, quickly wiped his eyes again with his sleeve, and shouted uncertainly: "Second brother?"

"Father, I'm back." Wu Kang'an said excitedly, and then walked towards Wu's father, wanting to hug him, but was pushed away by him.

"Father? What are you looking for?"

"Where are your third brother and the two of them?" Father Wu looked at the street, but he didn't find anyone, so he asked.

"The two of them are still in the capital, and I am the only one coming back." Wu Kang'an replied.

"What? You actually left your two brothers in that unfamiliar place in the capital, and came back alone!!" Father Wu suddenly became furious, and then pushed the stupid son out of the store, intending to lock the door close it.

"That's not the case, Dad, listen to my explanation!" Wu Kang'an hurriedly stuck on the threshold and said.

Father Wu stopped closing the door, looked at him and said, "Tell me, you'd better come up with a reason that satisfies me."

"My husband is pregnant and cannot travel long distances, so I left the two of them in the capital." Wu Kang'an explained.

"Then did you find someone to take care of them?" Father Wu asked with a calm face.

Wu Kang'an nodded quickly: "Of course, I must find someone to take care of them before I come back with peace of mind!" As for the fact that the person I was looking for was Xiao Zimo, Wu Kang'an thought about it and still didn't tell Father Wu, otherwise he felt that he would not be happy today. Definitely can't get in.

After receiving Wu Kang'an's affirmative reply, Wu's father walked away and let Wu Kang'an enter the store.

Xingfeng Village

The news that Wu Kang'an passed the Jinshi examination and became an official in the capital spread quickly, and the villagers knew about it.

Everyone came to Wu's house to congratulate them.

Of course, Mrs. Wu Kang'an's natal family also knew about this, and came to congratulate Wu's family, only to find that his elder brother had stayed in the capital and hadn't come back. When asked why, he knew it was because of pregnancy, so he couldn't come back. His natal family were obviously overjoyed afterward.

They also didn't expect that their elder brother would have such good luck, they both became official husbands, and now they are pregnant with a child. It can be said that their life has been extremely happy. He is happy.

As for the other people in the village, it's different. Those people are very depressed. Why haven't potential stocks like Wu Kang'an been scooped up by their brothers!

Because the Wu family has no clan members, and there is no such thing as an ancestral hall, his family didn't care about these things before, but now Wu Kang'an has been admitted to Jinshi, and his status is not the same, so Village Chief Wu closed the shops in the town, After returning home, he summoned the villagers to help rebuild a ancestral hall, which will be the ancestral hall of his Wu family in the future.

There are many people and strength, plus the Wu family entertains all kinds of delicious food and drinks every day, and there will be wages after the end, but in just a few days, the ancestral hall was successfully built.

Although Wu Kang'an is now an official, the word filial piety is the first of all good deeds, so the village head Wu stood at the front and led the Wu family to worship in the direction of the ancestral hall.

After the sacrifice was over, Village Chief Wu took out a blank genealogy tree, wrote his parents' names on it, and then arranged them in order, and wrote the names of all the Wu family members. From then on, they are people with clans In the future, the names of all members of the Wu clan will be recorded on it.

After the recording was completed, Village Chief Wu wrapped the family tree in oiled paper and hung it in the mid-air of the ancestral hall, and took the Wu family away from the ancestral hall.

......

Because the appointment with the caravan was approaching, and because he was worried about Wu Bai and his two elder brothers, Wu Kang'an set off for Lizhou Mansion by himself.

The reason why he didn't bring other members of the Wu family with him was because the child in Mr. Wu's stomach was about to be born in just over two months, which was even more unsuitable for long-distance travel than Mr. Wu's second, not to mention that this was the first child of the Wu family. When a grandson was born, everyone in the Wu family was worried and could not tolerate any mistakes.

It was the first time for Wu Dalang and his wife to have a child, and they didn't understand anything. Of course, the Wu family needed to stay and help take care of it, so everyone in the Wu family didn't go to Beijing with Wu Kang'an.

However, they decided to wait until February when the child was born, and then they will see if there is a chance to come to Beijing again, but they all know that this chance is very slim.

In fact, Nanping Town is their root. Except for Wu's father and Wu Kang'an who went to the next state capital to participate in the township test, they have never left this town in their life. They are not curious about what the capital is like. I just feel that I am satisfied with living my own little life.

Xiao Zimo, who was still in the capital looking forward to Wu's father and the others coming to the capital, and then came to propose marriage: "..." Don't ask, it is despair!

Wu Kang'an followed the caravan and returned to the capital smoothly.

When he arrived at his small house, he didn't find anyone in it, and he didn't know any of the neighbors around him. In desperation, he could only go to Xiao's house, and wanted to see if he could ask something from Xiao Zimo. something comes out.

As a result, when he arrived at Xiao's house, the concierge of Xiao's house told him that Xiao Zimo was out and not at home.

Now, he finally understood why there was no one at home, and Xiao Zimo took him out together. He guessed that Xiao Zimo must have no way to leave his husband at home alone, and wanted to take Brother Bai out. So he simply took his husband out together.

Unfortunately, he didn't guess right this time.

In Qibaoya in the capital, besides Xiao Zimo, Wu Bai, and Wu Kangan's husband, there is another person here.

He is Zhao Chengnan.

It turned out that it was because Zhao Chengnan was about to set off for the border, so Xiao Zimo and the three of them were practicing for Zhao Chengnan.

During this time, because Wu Kang'an was not around, Xiao Zimo was worried about their two brothers, so he often came to Wu's house to take care of them, and Zhao Chengnan, who used to always follow behind Xiao Zimo, naturally followed the direction.

After going back and forth, Mrs. Wu also learned from their conversation that Zhao Chengnan, who was rescued by their family back then, turned out to be the current Fifth Prince.

This frightened Wu Erfulang, and every time he saw Zhao Chengnan in the next few days, he would tremble with fright. Emotions, plus Zhao Chengnan is a person who doesn't care about face, and often plays tricks in front of Mr. Wu Erfu, doing things that make people laugh and cry. Slowly, Mr. Wu Erfu doesn't feel how scary Zhao Chengnan is anymore. .

As time went by and everyone got to know each other better, he became less flustered and could talk to Zhao Chengnan with a smile.

No, because Yu Hongyi, the general who was sent by the emperor to defend against the enemy at the border, disappeared, and the troops at the border were a little distracted, so the courtiers asked the emperor to send another person of high status to accompany another mighty general to the border.

Naturally, the noble people went to the border to stabilize the morale of the army, and the mighty general naturally wanted to take Hongyi's place and fight against the enemy.

The court quarreled for several days, and finally a candidate was chosen, and that was Zhao Chengnan.

Going to the border this time is different from going to the border to reward the soldiers in the past. This time it is to encourage the morale of the soldiers. Of course, there is also the danger of war at any time. If it is not serious, they may lose their lives. Naturally, the other princes do not want to go , only Zhao Chengnan did not have strong maternal support in the court like his other brothers, so the courtiers quarreled until the end, and unanimously recommended the fifth prince Zhao Chengnan to the emperor.

Regarding this situation, the emperor was actually reluctant to let his most beloved prince go to the border, but faced with the unanimous request of the courtiers, the emperor was a little helpless and had no choice but to nod.

Xiao Guijun in the palace also tried his best, but his power as a harem man is limited, and he can't influence the decisions of those old foxes in the court.

However, for Xiao Zimo and Zhao Chengnan, this is a bit dangerous for their plan, but if Zhao Chengnan can successfully conquer the military power during this trip, coupled with the financial support of the Xiao family, there will be no worries about major events. .

For Zhao Chengnan who took the initiative to enter the palace and said that he was willing to go to the border, the emperor was very moved. As expected of his beloved son, he was willing to share his worries at critical times. Because of this, the emperor rewarded Zhao Chengnan with many good things.

But this time, although his brothers were envious, they were not jealous. After all, some good things are not something that everyone can get or enjoy.
