  When they came, Su Wan specifically told them not to have meals or anything like that, as meals and drinks were the easiest to tamper with, and the easiest to succeed, as written in the storybook.
  Su Chen now listened to Su Wan the most, and whatever she said was what it was.
  Su Jing was really grateful to his good brother, and was very relieved to be able to help him share his worries in time.
  "We can send a servant to pick up Madam Su to have dinner together at the mansion!" The Zhao family was unwilling to give up this opportunity. If they missed this opportunity, when Su Jing really became a Jinshi, they would not be worthy of him.
  By then, everything would be too late.
  Su Jing's smile was almost gone, and he almost broke down. It was really that Sima Zhao's intention was known to everyone.
  If he still couldn't see this, then he would not have the fate of being a third place winner.
  "Mrs. Zhao appreciates your kindness, but Su Jing doesn't want to bother you any more, please forgive me, goodbye!"
  No matter what, just leave first, don't bother with anything else.
  The two brothers fled from the Zhao residence, and it was impossible to stop them. As soon as they left, Zhao Xiyun showed her true colors and started to throw things and smash bowls:
  "Dad, you have to think of a way quickly. Didn't you say you wanted to match me with Jing'er? Look at how he rejected me. It's almost the end of the year. If he goes to Kyoto, I'm afraid I will never catch up with him in my life." Zhao Xiyun cried and made a fuss.
  Zhao Tongde was not sick, but she almost made him sick.
  Mrs. Zhao wiped her tears distressedly and coaxed her:
  "My dear Yun'er, don't worry, let your father think about it. Su Jing is a child with good character and appearance, and he writes well. Several teachers in the courtyard have asserted that he will pass the imperial examination in the future. Your father is reluctant to throw away such a son-in-law!"
  This scholarly family is also divided into different levels. If you become an official, you are a top scholarly family. A Jinshi can enter the court, but a Juren can only pick up leaks in small places and become a ninth-rank official. But how can there be so many leaks?
  Moreover, the ninth-rank official is too small and not impressive enough. Kyoto is a good place. In his early years, Zhao Tongde made connections everywhere and finally bought a county magistrate. As a result, the salary was pitifully small and not enough to support his family. Not long after, he resigned and came to Qinghe County to set up a school.
          "But look at him, he treats me like a flood and a beast, will he come again next time?" Zhao Xiyun was really unmoved.
  "Don't worry, Yun'er, I have already considered it in my mind!" Zhao Tongde rolled his eyes and came up with a plan.
  ...
  Su Jing left the Zhao Mansion with a stern face. Su Chen looked at him and smiled:
  "Brother, I didn't expect that there is a girl who likes you so much?"
  "You are still teasing me? Third brother, you have also learned bad things now." Su Jing hit his shoulder.
  Su Chen just smiled and didn't continue to explain. The two brothers went to the bank to pick up Su's mother. She had exchanged all the copper coins for silver notes, leaving only some small silver on her.
  Su Yun's two hundred taels, thirty taels were used for the renovation and expansion of the new house after the New Year, Su Wan's fifty taels were not touched, and Su Jing's one hundred taels could not be touched.
  Last month, the monthly salary of the mine had been settled, and the couple had a total of ten taels of silver, plus the original remaining, which was enough for the daily expenses of the family.
  She bought Su Wan a cloth of better quality, and prepared to sew a few more sanitary belts for her. She also bought a lot of cotton, and just stuffed a little into the sanitary belt each time. It was better to use than wood ash.
  Su's mother felt that the family was not so tight on money, and it was better to give her daughter something more exquisite, which was good for her health.
  She also bought her some brown sugar so that she could take it home and drink it with water. She
  also bought some melon seeds, peanuts, dried fruits, and firecrackers, as well as mutton and fish, so that we could have a warm New Year this year.
  Su Wan waited at home for most of the day, and finally they came back. She was relieved to see that her eldest brother came back with him.
  However, her eldest brother didn't seem very happy, and he locked himself in his room to read when he came back.

  Su's mother taught Su Wan how to make her own menstrual belt. She also learned it seriously. After she finished, she asked her third brother what happened in the college today.
  Su Chen told Su Wan everything he saw and heard today, word for word. Su Wan's brows were so furrowed that they could pinch a mosquito to death.
  She thought to herself that her eldest brother was really a bad peach blossom. First, He Jiaolan asked to be a concubine, and then Zhao Xiyun tried to conquer herself. They were all not good people.

  Now she knew why her eldest brother was unhappy. It was probably because he was numb.
  Su Wan thought that this matter should have come to an end. As long as her eldest brother survived the New Year safely and took the road to the exam, it would be equivalent to getting rid of Zhao Xiyun. After that, he would no longer have the hardship of family unrest.
           But he didn't expect that with only three days left before the New Year, one of his eldest brother's classmates suddenly came to see him.

  At first, everyone really didn't think much about it, and they entertained him. Su Jing had a good chat with him in the yard.
  This scholar surnamed Zhou, who looked gentle and handsome, stayed at the Su family for a while after lunch. When they were about to leave, it was Su Jing who left with him.
  Su Wan went to take a nap and didn't know about this. He only knew that when he woke up, his elder brother was gone.
  Su Wan hurriedly found Su's mother and asked her what happened:
  "Mom, where is my elder brother?"
  Su's mother was feeding chickens, so she told her:
  "Mr. Zhou invited him to drink, saying that his classmates saw that they were about to part, so they booked a banquet in the county to have a drink together. Your elder brother studied hard, and it's time for him to relax with his classmates."
  "It's just a drink with classmates?"
  "Could it be that a group of men can sneak in a girl?" Su's mother joked.
  Yes, in ancient times, these false etiquettes were most valued. Although there is no saying that people under the age of seven can't sit together, it is definitely not okay for a woman to appear in a group of men if they are not a family. Despite this, Su Wan was still a little worried, but his third brother was not at home at the moment.
  The plot is unpredictable. As long as it hasn't happened yet, no matter what, it is possible to have the same ending. Changing the plot means changing the ending of the characters. It is never that simple to change fate.

  When the third brother comes back, he will have to trouble him to go there and watch over Su Jing. If he gets drunk, he will just bring him back.
  Su Chen couldn't stay idle during the day, so he went hunting in the mountains again. It was dusk when he came back, and Su Wan urged him to pick up Su Jing.
  Su Chen was also afraid of something going wrong, so he didn't dare to delay. After eating a few mouthfuls of food, he hurried to the county.
  But he didn't expect that someone had been secretly protecting Su Jing, and there would be no trouble.
