Chapter 515: Chapter 515 Peach Blossom Luck (2)_1

Sun Lizheng nodded; he had more than just that in mind. His granddaughter would also be fourteen next year.

Miao’s immediately went to find Grandma Li.

Grandma Li didn’t quite trust Miao’s and Sun Lizheng, the couple. Their own son had not passed the exam, and their grandson was still apprenticing. Even if their intentions were good, they lacked the insight and vision to be of much help to their son.

However, Mo Heng came from an aristocratic family, and it was assumed that his knowledge in scholarly matters was indeed very good. If not to teach her son, she could at least gain some understanding. Nobility prepared for academic exams with the full support of their families, allegedly even having access to examiners’ information. With this thought, she noticed the skies clearing up - probably no more snow. So she went back home for a bit.

Soon, Li Baoxiang arrived with Grandma Li.

Sun Xiujin then asked Sun Tingyu to go find Pei Qin to talk, "After the snowfall, she should be fine."

Pei Qin came over carrying a bag of pumpkin cakes.

Following closely was a worried Pei Qian. Although Lu Hai was with her, he was useless in a conversation, and she couldn’t expect him to speak up on her behalf with the Sun family. More than anything, she wanted to see what they wanted with her elder sister, who was pregnant and had braved the snowy weather to come over.

Sun Xiujin was really bored, and since her daughter was born prematurely at seven months, small like a kitten, she really didn’t know how to care for the baby beyond feeding. It was her mother, Miao’s, and her mother-in-law who took care of the baby. Not wanting to do needlework during her confinement and strain her eyes, she could only stay cooped up inside the house. Once Pei Qin arrived, her spirits immediately lifted.

Pei Qin passed the pumpkin cakes to her, and sat on a stool not far away to chat with her.

Grandma Li also came over with the baby to join in the fun, together with Miao’s, Sun Tingyu, as well as Pei Qin and Pei Qian, and Lu Hai; the room was nearly full of people.

One would speak, another would reply, and soon there was laughter and cheerful conversation.

Li Baoxiang came in to bring soup for Sun Xiujin.

Following him, Sun Xiujin’s sister-in-law came in teasing, "Braving the heavy snow to come over here, seeing that the meat soup was ready and immediately bringing it to the younger sister—I don’t even need to lift a finger! My brother-in-law really does dote on the younger sister!"

"Baoxiang came with his books, to take care of Xiujin and the baby, without neglecting his studies for the exams," Grandma Li commented, glancing at Pei Qin.

Seeing her smiling, Miao’s started talking to Pei Qin about Fang Liuming and Mo Heng’s scholarly pursuits, "...they are all scholars, so they could join in conversation and scholarship together!"

Li Baoxiang chuckled and asked about Fang Liuming, "I’ve met him twice before, talked to him, and heard he’s also preparing for the exam next year—we do have things to discuss!"

Pei Qin could not have misunderstood any longer, "He lives near the college, but he does come by from time to time."

Pei Qian frowned secretly in displeasure, seeing that they summoned her elder sister explicitly wanting her brother-in-law to teach Li Baoxiang scholarship. She made eye contact with Pei Qin, signaling her not to agree.

Even if they didn’t agree, if they took a liking to the idea, Li Baoxiang would seek out Fang Liuming anyway.

Having had this conversation, Li Baoxiang indeed went to find Fang Liuming.

Fang Liuming had never taken the exam before, while Li Baoxiang had sat for it twice, bringing experience. Both being scholars and with the relationship between Sun Xiujin and Pei Qin, they quickly hit it off.

The next day, Li Baoxiang came to visit Mo Heng, "I’ve long heard of Brother Mo’s remarkable learning. Just yesterday, I spoke with Liuming and discovered that his scholarship has made great progress, all claiming it to be Brother Mo’s credit. I took the liberty of visiting!"

Mo Heng nodded with an indifferent expression, "You flatter me."

Li Baoxiang hadn’t expected him to be so strikingly handsome and unapproachable and found him to be quite aloof. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, he firmly continued the interaction.
