Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Chapter 252 The sister of the control group in the imperial examination

The Yuan family is now supporting the education of their two grandchildren.

One is Yuan Biao from the first wife, and the other is Yuan Feng from the second wife, who is the original owner’s brother.

Old Mrs. Zhuang has four children in total, three sons and one daughter.

Among them, the eldest son Yuan Yougen looks very honest, but he is a man with his own thoughts.

He has shown a steady and reliable image since he was a child, and is therefore deeply loved by Mrs. Zhuang.

After Yuan Yougen's wife Chen Xiu Yu gave birth to three daughters in succession, she finally welcomed a son, Yuan Biao.

This made Old Mrs. Zhuang particularly happy, and she favored Yuan Biao even more.

The second son of the Yuan family, Yuan Youdi, is completely different from his eldest brother.

Yuan Youdi cried a lot when he was a child and was often laughed at by people in the village.

The ridicule did not improve much until he got married and had children.

After all, out of consideration for his reputation, he rarely laughed at her in person.

Yuan Youdi's wife Wang Xiaocao was actually picked up by him.

Wang Xiaocao was originally a maid in a wealthy family. She was disliked by the mistress because she was too beautiful.

While the man of the house was away, the mistress cruelly poisoned her to silence her voice, beat her mercilessly with thirty sticks, and then threw her out the door like garbage.

The mistress was jealous of her beautiful face, but she did not destroy it.

If Wang Xiaocao had not been lucky enough to meet Yuan Lao Er, even if she had managed to survive, her beauty would have caused her to suffer unimaginable hardships.

Yuan Lao Er accidentally picked up the dying Wang Xiaocao, and without hesitation took out the money he had earned from working as a handyman for a month to treat Wang Xiaocao's injuries.

This incident made Mrs. Zhuang very angry, and she beat up Yuan Lao Er severely.

She also made a harsh statement, saying that the money was originally intended to be used to prepare for the second elder's wedding, but now that the money has been spent, don't expect her to help with the wedding anymore.

Despite this, the second elder remained stubbornly silent and was determined to save Wang Xiaocao.

After Wang Xiaocao learned about this, he anxiously gestured to the second elder in private.

After some speculation and understanding, the second elder finally understood her tragic experience and his heart was filled with pity.

When Wang Xiaocao learned that Yuan Lao Er did not despise her, she plucked up the courage to take the initiative to propose to marry him.

Thus, Yuanlao Er and Wang Xiaocao got married smoothly.

This sudden change caught Mrs. Zhuang off guard.

In fact, Old Lady Zhuang had already set her eyes on a girl for the second elder.

Seeing that the Second Elder dared to disobey her orders in private, she felt that he needed to be taught a lesson.

She wanted to control the second elder and deliberately told him that she didn't intend to worry about his marriage.

The girl that Old Lady Zhuang liked was tall and strong, with broad shoulders and a big waist. Her only advantage was that her father was a butcher and she was the only daughter in the family.

Old Mrs. Zhuang had always wanted to let the second son marry into that family.

In her opinion, with Yuan Lao Er's weak, incompetent and indecisive character, and the tendency to cry at the slightest provocation, it was impossible for any girl to be willing to marry him.

Marrying into another woman's family became his only way out, and it might even bring some benefits to the family.

If the people in the village knew about this, they would definitely not think that she had done anything wrong. Instead, they would only sympathize with her as a mother.

What she didn't expect was that Wang Xiaocao would actually take the initiative to marry the second elder.

Even though Wang Xiaocao later gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Yuan family, Old Lady Zhuang still could not develop any affection for her.

As a result, Old Lady Zhuang was also indifferent to her eldest grandson Yuan Feng.

It’s not that I hate you, but I don’t love you enough either.

Yuan Youliang, the third son of the Yuan family, was smart since childhood. He realized early on that he would not be valued and had no future in this family.

He went out on his own when he was a teenager, and by chance he apprenticed to a master to learn carpentry.

Later, he married the carpenter's niece and moved to his wife's parents' home after the marriage.

It's not as good as marrying into the wife's family.

This made Old Mrs. Zhuang very angry.

The son who wanted him to marry into the family refused to leave, but the son who didn't want him to leave ended up marrying into the family!

She has almost become a laughing stock in the village.

So you really can't blame her for being partial. After all, the eldest brother's family is still more pleasing to the eye.

They are all disobedient. She doesn't love the obedient ones, but loves these evil sons who disobey her?

As the number of children in the family grew up year by year, it became increasingly difficult to support two children in their studies and imperial examinations.

Old Lady Zhuang came up with a plan, hoping to get the Second Elder to make the decision to stop Yuan Feng from studying.

Although Yuan Feng was the eldest grandson of the Yuan family, he started school three years earlier than Yuan Biao.

Moreover, he has a good talent for studying and has now successfully passed the examination and become a student.

However, in the eyes of Old Lady Zhuang, Yuan Feng has studied for so many years, which is enough.

She felt that it would be difficult for Yuan Feng to make any further progress in the future, so she might as well use all her energy and resources to cultivate her beloved grandson Yuan Biao.

In her eyes, Yuan Biao would be the grandson who would bring her glory.

She was not wrong to think so. Regardless of whether Yuan Feng could bring her glory or not, Yuan Biao did make her wish come true.

Yuan Biao is the typical male protagonist of the imperial examination novels in this dimension.

He was down-to-earth and steady along the way, successfully passed the imperial examination and entered the official career.

The original owner's brother Yuan Feng was his cousin in the control group.

At the beginning, this cousin was the goal that Yuan Biao tried hard to catch up with!

Yuan Feng was very talented in studying and passed the Tongsheng examination early.

Even the teacher praised him highly and asserted that it would be easy for him to pass the imperial examination in the future.

However, unexpectedly, the cousin suddenly declared that he did not want to continue studying!

This news shocked everyone. The elders and teachers in his family tried to persuade him to change his mind, but he remained unmoved.

What's worse is that he became addicted to having fun...

In sharp contrast to Yuan Feng is the male protagonist Yuan Biao, who is down-to-earth and studies diligently for exams.

After Yuan Feng, he willingly degenerated and devoted himself to business.

This action completely angered Mrs. Zhuang, and she eventually kicked the whole family out of the house.

It should be noted that in this society, among the four classes of scholars, farmers, artisans and merchants, the status of merchants is at the bottom.

Yuan Feng's business will affect Yuan Biao's path to the imperial examination!

From then on, no matter what Yuan Feng did, he would be compared with Yuan Biao.

The further Yuan Biao went on the road to imperial examinations, the more obvious this contrast became.

But is this really the path that Yuan Feng is willing to choose?

No, it is not.

If Yuan Wei had not come to this world, the original owner would have died today.

When Yuan Lao Er suppressed his inner pain and gave up the opportunity for Yuan Feng to continue his studies, the original owner passed away forever.

There is a deep affection between Yuan Feng and the original owner.

When Yuan Feng learned that his sister had lost her life because his grandmother was unwilling to pay for her medical treatment, his heart was filled with resentment and depression.

At the same time, he also realized more clearly that his grandmother probably no longer wanted to support his studies.
