Chapter 216 Tian Manman throws out a brick to attract jade

The appearance of Tian Manman and Yi Mi briefly controlled Yu Hongdou for a few minutes, but she soon put aside the plot that had already gone away.

“Dad, Mom, my brother passed the exam! He passed with the 21st place! My cousin is the top scorer!” When Yu Hongdou saw her parents and brother coming out to greet her, she excitedly jumped over to announce the good news.

“Hahaha~Okay!” Yu Sanlang originally wanted to go and see the list with his daughter, but his wife and children asked him to remain calm as a father and a master.

Yu Sanlang was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pan, and almost made a hole in the yard.

Mrs. Xu was very anxious about Tian Manman’s visit today. Even though she was worried about her son, she still pretended to be calm and arranged the reception for the guest.

Hearing the good news from her son, even though Xu, who was always gentle and calm, couldn’t help but show her joy.

“Congratulations to my third brother, his wife and Xiaosong. From now on, our family will have a juren!” Tian Manman just remembered that the results would be announced today. He secretly thanked himself for coming at the right time and hurried forward to congratulate the third family.

Tan Langxiu and Tan Yanlin also stepped forward to congratulate.

“Okay! Changhe, go to the best restaurant in the city and order two tables, so we can celebrate properly!” Yu Sanlang happily shouted “Okay” and directly asked Changhe to order two tables.

After Xu returned the gifts to the two young masters of the Tan family, she apologized and went into the inner courtyard with Tian Manman and Yu Yimi.

Yu Hongdou did not go in with her mother, nor did she go with her father and brother to wait for the yamen runners to bring the good news. Instead, she took Tan Langxiu and Tan Yanlin to the guest house.

“Tell me the truth, is the situation in the capital a bit serious right now?” Yu Hongdou looked at the two brothers of the Tan family with a serious expression.

Given their personalities, the story just told was definitely not told in vain.

“The water seems clear and shallow, but don’t worry. With your family’s contribution to saving the emperor, His Majesty will definitely promise your brother a good future.” Tan Yanlin told the truth.

Yu Hongdou did not relax because of his words. Although her brother was smart, he was young and inexperienced after all. Sometimes he might not be able to outsmart those old foxes in the capital.

“How about letting Xiaosong go with me to the northwest?” Tan Langxiu took the opportunity to kidnap someone.

To increase his persuasiveness, he even offered a bribe: “Didn’t you say we could do the dairy and wool business together?”

“…” Yu Hongdou glanced at him sideways. She didn’t want her brother to follow the path of military merit, and she didn’t want to really tie the whole family to the Tan family.

“It’s all your fault.” She should have happily celebrated her brother’s success in the imperial examination.

It was all their fault for insisting on telling some horror story that made her anxious.

But having said that, Yu Hongdou probably knew in her heart that she still felt ashamed because her brother left home alone.

She was afraid that her brother would be unable to support himself and thus be plotted against. Although it was a bit unfounded to worry about this now, Yu Hongdou could not control herself.

Since she came here, the family of four has basically never been separated.

“What were you thinking about when you looked at that child just now?” Tan Yanlin saw that her expression was a little strange for a moment when she looked at the child.

This question is a good way to divert her attention.

Yu Hongdou knew that he was making an excuse to divert her attention, but she still took over the conversation.

“You also saw my little cousin just now, right?” Yu Hongdou asked them.

Seeing the two nod, Yu Hongdou whispered, “People always say that my little cousin looks a lot like me, but I can’t see how.”

Tan Langxuan and Tan Yanlin silently recalled the little face they had just seen, and shook their heads at the same time. “I didn’t see the resemblance either. Maybe it’s because you are related by blood that everyone praises you so much? After my provincial examination, there were always people saying that the younger generation looked like me.”

Tan Yanlin advised Yu Hongdou that sometimes these polite words don’t need to be taken seriously.

“Maybe I hope my child can be as outstanding as you.” Tan Langxiu told the truth.

Yu Hongdou thought about it carefully and nodded in approval. Maybe the plot was just an exploit, but judging from the current reality, she could indeed serve as a role model for her little cousin’s growth.

While they were chatting, Tian Manman also began to feel like spying again.

But it was not for the sake of the “fellow villagers”. In fact, the two families parted ways, and with the birth of a child, Tian Manman had given up the idea of ​​identifying the “fellow villagers”.

But now that Yu Song has passed the imperial examination, his future is bright.

Behind Yu Hongdou followed two handsome young men who looked like they were from wealthy families.

This made Tian Manman, who had watched Yu Heng work hard and be appreciated by his superiors, feel a sense of crisis.

The third branch had an extremely smooth journey, so smooth that it was not just a reward for saving the county magistrate’s life.

Tian Manman suspected that the third wife had met a more powerful master.

“Third sister-in-law, who are those two young men? They are so handsome~” Tian Manman didn’t know much about Xu. She only remembered that they were very gentle except when it came to her husband and children.

“It’s the young master of the Tan family.” Xu did not hide it, because Yu Sanlang had said long ago that there was no need to hide the friendship between their family and the Tan family.

“Ah~ Are these two the young masters of the Tan family? I was wondering why they looked so noble. What are they doing here? Congratulations to Xiaosong?” Tian Manman was surprised for a moment.

She had never dealt with the young master of the Tan family, and she had only seen the county magistrate from afar.

“No, Mr. Tan wanted to go to Wu’an to visit the county magistrate. He happened to know that Xiaosong was coming to take the exam, so he came to find us and planned to go back with us.”

Xu’s words made Tian Manman nod in sudden realization.

She remembered the purpose of her visit and was about to open her mouth when a little girl came running in: “Madam, the good news will be coming in soon~”

Xu stood up quickly and said, “Hurry up, take out the prepared reward money and wedding candy.”

“Sister-in-law, please sit here for a while. I’ll be back soon.” Xu just gave this instruction and hurriedly followed Qian Sanmei to the front yard with the reward money and wedding candies.

Tian Manman was not angry at being abandoned. Instead, she began to look around the house.

Her restaurant made a lot of money, and she and her husband also bought a property in the state capital, but Tian Manman knew that her husband would not stay in the local area for long after he followed that master.

So when buying a house, I did not choose a big one, but chose a small one with all the necessary facilities.

It was fine to live here on weekdays, but when I just came in and saw the three-bedroom house, even Tian Manman felt a little jealous.

“Madam, it seems that the Third Master and the Third Mistress are busy preparing for a wedding today, so it’s hard to say what’s going on with our matter.” A wet nurse behind Tian Manman stepped forward and gave a low reminder.

“No, on the contrary, it’s easier to talk about it when there’s something happy happening at home.” Tian Manman didn’t agree with the nanny’s words, but she seemed confident.

The third uncle is not easy to mess with. Tian Manman knew this after being scolded once, so the purpose of her coming today needs to be brought up at a suitable time and with a topic of conversation.
