Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home
Chapter 1780

Chapter 1780: The Couple Eliminates Bad Luck Chapter 1780: The Couple Eliminates Bad Luck Editor: Henyee Translations Zhao Shu didn’t have much business in the capital, but he intended to assist Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan with anything they might need help with.

He also aimed to gather information about the city.

Shao Yunduan had cautioned him against mingling with the nobility to inquire about court matters or about the Crown Prince and other princes.

Zhao Shu kept this in mind, but he had no qualms about seeking information on other topics.

Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan resided in a place like Anze Province, thus lacking extensive knowledge of the capital’s affairs.

Given Shao Yunduan’s sensitivity, probing into the capital’s intermediate matters could have dire consequences if discovered.

Yet, Zhao Shu had little to fear.

It was more beneficial for him to learn about the situation and share it with them than to remain ignorant.

Back in Shaoding Village, Shao Liulang participated in this year’s Examination as planned.

Perhaps fueled by the provocation he had faced, his diligence finally paid off.

He emerged as a recommended man in the Fall Quarter Examinations.

Though he didn’t surpass Shao Yunduan, who still remained at the bottom of the rankings, reaching this advanced level was an achievement worth celebrating.

The villagers of Shaoding Village looked on with envy.

The Shao Family’s fortune seemed boundlessaEUR”they already boasted a Primus in Lord Shao, and now a recommended man!

Third Uncle and Ms.

Ma were brimming with motivation.

Their smiles stretched wide, radiating pride that seemed to touch the sky.

The couple banished the ill luck of the past days, praising Shao Liulang as if his rise to an intermediate Advanced Scholar and eventual government official was a foregone conclusion.

They even hinted that Shao Liulang would navigate the capital’s political circles with finesse, ensuring success and avoiding any conflicts with the nobilityaEUR”implying a contrast with Shao Yunduan.

When the villagers offered their congratulations and expressed envy, Third Uncle and Ms.

Ma made sure to include Shao Yunduan in the celebrations.

Yet, there lingered a slight dissatisfaction in their hearts, as they only elevated Shao Yunduan to the status of Primus while lauding their Liulang as a recommended man.

So what if Shao Yunduan held the title of Primus?

If he could achieve it, then Liulang certainly could too!

Previously, Liulang had just faced a bit of bad luck.

Therefore, when showcasing her son’s accomplishments, she felt the need to subtly undermine Shao Yunduan.

Ms.

Fang sneered upon hearing the news.

She refused to let her family stoop to their level.

“This is laughable.

Let them revel in their arrogance.

They’re merely deluding themselves!

I wonder how they’ll come crashing down in the future!

A recommended man who ranks third from the bottom in Yuzhang aspiring to become an Advanced Scholar and even dream of reaching the intermediate Primus status?

Ha, what a joke!” Despite Ms.

Ma and Third Uncle’s determination to hold a grand banquet to celebrate, Ms.

Fang refused to lend her support.

When she pressed Ms.

Ma and Third Uncle about Shao Yunduan’s earlier remarks, they found themselves too embarrassed to offer any rebuttal.

Deep down, they couldn’t shake off the feeling that the villagers were intentionally comparing Shao Yunduan unfavorably to Shao Liulang.

The numerous sarcastic comments only fueled their doubts.

Rendering Ms.

Ma and Third Uncle speechless, Ms.

Fang remarked with a smile, “I pity my son.

Why would you undermine him while supposedly supporting him?

You trample on my son’s achievements and then expect me to finance a celebration for yours?

Do you think I’m foolish or easy to bully, Ms.

Ma, Third Brother?”
