Chapter 1257: Another Ten Years

I wouldn't even bother with her. This time, she really struck it rich."Xiao Zhang was quick-witted and thought that having such relatives could be beneficial to socialize with. However, seeing his in...Two little ones ran to their elder brother Tang Haokang's back. Fu Jiujiu snorted coldly and chose righteousness over kinship, "He, he, and him, they don't care about me, they only care about the little girl in my belly."

Tang Xian gently placed her on the bed, and looked sternly at her three sons. "You dare to be discontent with your mother That's unacceptable! As punishment, I order you to pick some flowers for your mother."

Fu Jiujiu glanced at the three little brats and smiled smugly.

Tang Haojing knew that at this time, the three of them brothers were not suitable to appear here. "Let's go first, brothers," he called out.

Fu Jiujiu leaned against Tang Xian's arms. She was already in her late twenties, but she still acted like a little girl. Fu Jiujiu didn't know why; she wasn't like this in her past life, but now she just liked acting cute. Maybe it was because Tang Xian was by her side

How is the women's civil service exam this year Is there any outstanding talent

Once every three years there was an imperial exam, and in the past two years some outstanding candidates emerged. However, breaking free from these shackles wasn't easy. Faced with various restrictions, those women were simply finding themselves a good husband.

It has to be said, both Fujuj and Tangxian were somewhat disappointed.

Tang Xian gently patted her arm twice, "You'll know tomorrow at the palace examination. Do you want to go and see"

Fu Jiujiu lowered her head to look at her belly. She had given birth to three children in the past ten years, and there was one more in there, but she hadn't done any less than she should have.

If she is well-behaved tomorrow, she can go. If not, we'll talk about it again.

Tang Xian sighed, "Three boys didn't have much reaction, how come this one is uncomfortable"

"It's actually fine, my morning sickness has already been very mild. You haven't seen what it's like to vomit from the moment you get pregnant until the day you give birth. Don't worry, we finally have a daughter, and you're frowning She'll think you don't like her."

Tang Xian smiled wryly, "How could I not like her I like everything you've given birth to, but now that our daughter is here, we truly won't have any more."

Fu Jiujiao doesn't want to have children anymore, enough is enough, really enough.

It has to be said, it's really hard for the Lao Fu family to have a baby girl. While others might consider it a blessing, the Fu family sees it as a curse.

She was the only girl in her generation. The next generation had one boy born to Uncle Qi's family. Afterward, all the brothers and Tianfu, along with several boys, gave birth to sons. There hasn't been a girl yet in the third generation.

She was also a stubborn woman, insisting on having a child. Of course, this was partly because her husband adored and pampered her; she thought one was hardly enough.

With money, free time, and a husband who dotes on her, she wouldn't really mind having several more children.

Outside the Phoenix Ming Palace, three princes were picking flowers there. The palace was large and still had plenty of flowers, of course, as well as many vegetables and fruits, visible everywhere.

"Big brother, is what's in mom's tummy really a sister Not a brother I already have a brother, and I don't want another one."

Tang Haorui, who was being disliked, pitifully looked at his second older brother. His mouth pouted high, "I don't want a younger brother either."

Tang Haojing shook his head, he had been disappointed twice already, "It should be my younger sister. You've forgotten that our mother is a doctor and very skilled."

Three people, tired from their walk, sat in the pavilion and seriously pondered whether there was a baby sister growing in their mother's belly.

“I heard that a pointed belly means it’s a brother, and a round belly means it’s a sister.” Tang Haoyun said.

Tang Haojing glared at him, "Nonsense, that's all lies. If Father heard it, he would definitely have you read more."

Tang Haojun shrank his neck, "I haven't finished yet, Mother, this baby in your belly is round, so it's a girl."

"Forget it, you guys go take the flowers back to Auntie Nianxia."

"And you" Tang Haoyun asked.

Tang Haokang sighed and looked dejected, "My father made me create the exam papers for the women's civil service examination, and we went together to grade them. I didn't even make the top three. Guess it's time to hit the books again."

Two little brothers obediently nodded their heads. Studying was a big deal. Their father had said that the eldest brother would be the emperor in the future and they had to take over his job. The two of them couldn't just laze around; they had to study hard and help their elder brother manage the country together.

The Huo family.

After ten years, Wei Ling'er finally waited until today.

Tomorrow, she will be taking the palace examination. No matter how strong her opponents are, it is said that there is even a daughter of a high-ranking official from the Ministry of Officials participating. But she is determined to become the top scholar.

The two sisters of the Huo family, the older one has already gotten married, and the younger one is also engaged. In three months, she will also get married.

Although they are all well-matched, in Wei Ling'er's view, none of them can compare to herself.

Although Old Lady Huo was a bit older, her spirits were still good. She was just as excited as Wei Linger. Since she had already made the top three, no matter what, this child would be useful, her future wouldn't be bad. And while her two granddaughters couldn't marry into official families, this child could.

"Ling'er, come here. This is a new outfit that Granny sent for you. Wear this tomorrow when you go in."

Weiling looked at the garment, which was rather extravagant. She understood her grandmother's intentions, but she had her own ideas. "Grandaunt," she said, "I know you care for me, but wearing this tomorrow wouldn't be appropriate."

"What's wrong I heard that the two girls, one is the daughter of a high-ranking official, and the other has some background too. You can't be outdone by them."

Wei Ling'er chuckled softly, "Grandniece, tomorrow's competition is about talent and learning, not beauty. Besides, if we were to really compare, I wouldn't necessarily lose."

Old Madam Huo nodded. The eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl had blossomed into a striking beauty. Who knows how many wealthy families had inquired about her Even for the second daughter's marriage, people first considered Wei Ling'er. It was she who stepped in and insisted that the younger daughter continue her studies.

But...

"Auntie, an ordinary girl from a common family, achieving something remarkable would truly catch people's attention. Tomorrow, I'll dress in old clothes, appearing simple and unassuming, that's how people will perceive me as refined."

Old Lady Huo took a deep breath and then nodded, "You're right, my Ling'er has grown up. I'm not as good as you anymore."

Wei Ling'er knew that Old Madam Huo had kept her for so many years, not just out of love, but also because she had ulterior motives. It was nothing more than a mutually beneficial arrangement.

She knows what's going on but chooses not to point it out. As long as things aren't too outrageous, she won't get angry.

"Who said that, Ling'er I, your godmother, will still keep an eye on your future."

Old Mrs. Huo was very pleased with what she had heard.

Huo Qiuyun watched the two of them, deeply touched by their bond. Anyone looking on would have thought they were mother and daughter. "Grandma," she said, "Since she won't be wearing this tomorrow, give it to me. I'm going to someone else's house and need a new outfit."

Old Madam Huo glared at her, but Wei Ling'er laughed. Someone so shallow could never get the better of her. It was laughable that she thought she could.

"Well then, give it to Autumn Rhyme," Wei Ling'er said generously. might still show some mercy."I... I...""Shut up!" Tang Jie really hated her teeth, this woman couldn't be left.It's not like I could help him anyway, now he's even become a burden.If this keeps up, h...
