    Within a few days, Mr. Xie inquired about Mr. Zhu¡¯s residence and confirmed that he was indeed consistent with Xiao Shitou¡¯s father in terms of age and appearance. When Aunt Liu heard this, she felt that it was most likely him.  He said anxiously: "Let's go today, make sure as soon as possible, and feel at ease as soon as possible."

    "Okay." Mr. Xie agreed.  This matter must be settled quickly, otherwise it will always be a worry for everyone. It will be better to settle it as soon as possible.

    Something happened to Dalang and everyone was imprisoned.  Xiao Shitou and Aunt Liu naturally knew the details, and the three of them were naturally very heavy-hearted along the way.  The three of them were worried about Zai Dalang and were afraid that Mr. Zhu would be inappropriate.  Xiao Shitou and Aunt Liu were more worried.  They were also worried that Mr. Zhu had married another wife and had children.

    In recent years, due to wars, famines and even huge population losses, the folk customs have opened up a lot.  The secular world has much fewer constraints on women, and even the emperor encourages widows to remarry.  But reconciliation is extremely rare.  If Mr. Zhu marries again and Ms. Zhang wants to reconcile, she will not be able to do so as long as the Zhu family does not agree. Moreover, even if they reconcile, it is unlikely that Ms. Zhang will take her son away.  Unless the Zhu family doesn't want any more children, she can't take them away.

    The three of them were silent all the way, all filled with thoughts.  Xiao Shitou naturally hopes that his father will not remarry, so that he can take his mother back and reunite the family.  But this is just a beautiful wish of his.

    Mr. Zhu had already passed the imperial examination, but because of his complicated family affairs and his age, he no longer had the intention to study. So through connections, he wanted to find a job as a low-ranking official, but he had no intention of taking the imperial examination again.  He is also thirty-five years old. If he continues to take the exam, he may not be able to pass the Jinshi exam until he is forty years old. Even if a forty-year-old person gets the top prize, it doesn't mean much.

    When Emperor Anqing chooses officials, he prefers those who are young and powerful.  For those in their forties, even if they win, they will only be given the lowest official position, and it will be more difficult for them to get promoted.  After all, people in their forties are not as energetic as those in their twenties and thirties.  Nowadays, living to sixty is considered a long life for most people in the world.  In your forties, you can't contribute much to the court, so why should I give you a good position?

    Only those with excellent family backgrounds will insist on taking the exam.  Anyway, even if they pass the exam at the age of fifty, they can still get a better position.

    Therefore, many people in their thirties and almost forties stopped taking exams and reported to the court, waiting to be replaced by minor officials.  Of course, if you have connections, you can also find a relatively good position. In a few years, you can become famous.  Although it is not as good as those who come from formal imperial examinations, they can be gradually promoted to high officials.

    ¡°But it¡¯s the same as joining an official family. His status is instantly improved, and his life can be better.  No matter how well you raise your children and grandchildren, and run the business for a few more generations, you can slowly turn it into a famous family.

    Mr. Zhu brought many people, including a beautiful lady, maids and servants, a total of ten people.  They directly rented a small, single-family house.  He didn't go out very often and didn't know many people, so when Mr. Xie and Aunt Liu knocked on his door, he was still wondering who it was.

    Facing Aunt Liu who suddenly appeared in front of him, Mr. Zhu seemed a little unbelievable, "Are you really Mother Liu?"

    Aunt Liu just nodded and said nothing, while Xiao Shitou hid outside and did not come forward at all.  As soon as Chen Zhongqing's incident came out, Aunt Liu and Xiao Shitou were also worried. If the Zhu family had the same moral character as the Chen family, they would be in big trouble.

    "Why did you come to the capital? Where are your young lady and Xiao Shitou?" Mr. Zhu asked repeatedly.  It's not like he hasn't looked for Xiao Shitou and his son over the years, but unfortunately, there has been no news.

    Aunt Liu¡¯s face was full of contempt and she wanted to point at Mr. Zhu and yell at him.

    Mr. Zhu is still personable, as if the past ten years have left no trace on him. Thinking about Miss Zhang from Luwei Village, she has long since become an authentic village woman. Aunt Liu felt that  Just angry and hateful.

    "Speak quickly, where are they?" Master Zhu urged.

    "Oh, you haven't forgotten them. Are you afraid that they will seek your life when you dream back at midnight? Without the servants brought by the Zhang family, can you escape that disaster? As a result, you only care about yourself.  Run for your life, even without your wife and children. How can you still live so comfortably after ten years?" Aunt Liu couldn't bear it anymore, pointing at his nose and yelling.

    Mr. Zhu frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Where are they?"

    "Oh, life is hard, so the young lady has no choice but to marry the young master. Fortunately, this uncle is a very nice person and is very kind to the young lady and Xiao Shitou. The family is living a good life. Otherwise, why would I be in the capital?  ." Aunt Liu sneered.

    Mr. Zhu stared at her for a long time before saying:?But he felt that Miss Zhang was more worthy of respect.

    In the past, he thought Miss Zhang didn¡¯t understand romance and was a rough person.  But now he understands, if Miss Zhang is a romantic and charming woman, can she survive in troubled times?  Can you still raise two sons?

    Ms. Zhang returned with her two sons and received a warm welcome from the Zhu family. Father Zhu and mother Zhu expressed their sincere apologies to their daughter-in-law and expressed their gratitude to her for raising the two children alone.

    After the business was settled, Mr. Zhu naturally revealed everything he knew in front of Mr. Xie, and how he came to Beijing to be a candidate.  They were all very common techniques. His mother had a distant relative who was related to the chief steward around the Crown Princess's mother, and then he got this opportunity.

    "Then let's do it. If you have this opportunity, take advantage of it." Mr. Xie said.

    Now, Mr. Xie is relieved.  As long as nothing happens to the Zhang family, there is always less to worry about.  Besides, Mr. Zhu has joined the prince's family, so he might actually get a good position, and Xiao Shitou's future is not bad.

    However, no one expected that Mr. Zhu, because of his deep respect and love for Miss Zhang, began to please her wholeheartedly. Gradually, the relationship between the two became much better, and they actually lived quite well in the end.  That¡¯s a story for another day.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
