While living in the capital held some significance, making a name for himself appeared unattainable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Shao Yunduan found himself unexpectedly longing for him, despite their time apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Word swiftly spread to the village that Shao Liulang had ascended to the rank of Advanced Scholar and secured a position at the prestigious Hanlin Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the finesse of the Spring and Autumn Brush, he penned a letter bearing auspicious tidings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he omitted his own achievement as an Advanced Scholar; such humility was customary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the villagers, the distinction of an Advanced Scholar might have been unfamiliar, but the stature of scholars was widely known. He couldn’t risk losing face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his missive, he merely conveyed his success in the Advanced Scholar examination and his commendation by esteemed figures, leading to his tenure at the Imperial Forest Academy in the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He casually remarked on the exclusivity of Hanlin Academy, where only a select few, numbering no more than twenty, were admitted each spring examination — all of them notably exceptional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially intending to return to his hometown to honor his ancestors, he explained that his duties at the apex demanded his undivided attention, leaving no room for a homecoming. Official matters, after all, took precedence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaoding Village erupted into excitement once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Shao Family is truly blessed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, their luck knows no bounds!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who would have thought Shao Liulang would rise to the ranks of an Advanced Scholar?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And to stay in the capital as an official, esteemed by both leaders and nobles! His future is boundless, surpassing even Mr. Primus.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, once he’s an official, the comparisons will shift. Many Advanced Scholars have brighter prospects than Primus.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Third Uncle and Ms. Ma are already dreaming of a prosperous future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Comparisons can be infuriating, indeed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Third Uncle and Ms. Ma practically floated with pride, their happiness palpable. They practically skipped along, grinning from ear to ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were extremely ostentatious in the village and kept saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I always knew our Liulang would make us proud. He’s truly a success now, haha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our Liulang has had wits since he was a child. Even back in the academy, Master often sung his praises! That’s no exaggeration.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a shame, really. I miss our Liulang dearly. If only he could come back. But with the nobles and higher-ups valuing him so much, they’re keeping him for something big. Sigh! Business takes precedence!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time around, they were more cunning. They extolled their own virtues without dragging Shao Yunduan into it. Yet, their haughty demeanor spoke volumes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had no desire to compete with the main branch of the family or Shao Yunduan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Shao Yunduan couldn’t hold a candle to them. Who else had they heard of being esteemed by the leader?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Taotao married Zhao Shu, they weren’t as envious or resentful. Their son was already a high-ranking official in the capital, with a far brighter future than Shao Yunduan’s. They had no need to worry about Xiaozhi’s family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaozhi was marrying into an official’s household. Being an official’s wife wouldn’t be easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, they hadn’t let go of Xiaozhi’s family affairs in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they couldn’t afford to do so now. They needed to swiftly dispatch a letter to Liulang. Finding a suitable family for Xiaozhi in the capital was paramount…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second section of the family of the Shao Family was so annoyed. Ms.Niu and Second Unle kept scolding their son and daughter-in-law, but they did not like them at all.\u003C\u002Fp>",603,"2026-06-03T12:01:18.527Z","2026-06-03T12:01:15.665Z",1,"novelbin.me","ce46501ff322955dcdfef92db7fce8b9933eca32cc2ce4ed66d0ae693cfabc1d","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-2019","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-2017",2438,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fspringtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-cover.jpg"]
