The koi wife dressed as the male protagonist of the imperial examination

Chapter 186 Talent
After thinking for a long time, he came up with such a method. Shi Shi would reach out his hand from time to time along the way.

In the end, the old man laughed at him: "You are telling others that you have something hidden on you."

But there is no way, Shi Shi is really nervous.

It was the first time she traveled so far, and the first time she carried so much silver on her body, and she was greatly relieved to finally arrive in the capital.

Shi undid the stitched thread on the side of the pocket, and then took out all the silver inside, ten taels of silver ingots in total.

Even Fang Qingqing was surprised. She didn't expect her mother-in-law to be so capable, but secretly hid so much money.

"Take it." Shi directly took out five silver ingots and put them in the hands of the third daughter-in-law.

In fact, it still hurts a little, so she simply turned her eyes away.

"Mother, I still have money with me, you can keep this for yourself."

Now that it has been given away, Shi Shi has no plan to ask for it back.

She is an old woman, no matter at home or outside, everything is done by the old man and her children.

It's useless to keep the money on your body, it's better to give it to the third daughter-in-law.

It was also on the way, old man Li and Mrs. Shi had discussed it.

The original words of the old man Li said: "Sanlang's grades are good, and he will become an official after he wins this time. But I remember he said before that in the beginning, he was a civil official with little money.

At that time, the third daughter-in-law was already an official wife, and she needed to go out to socialize and see the world. "

The old man usually doesn't talk much, but Shi Shi knows that his knowledge is wider than his own.

They had to listen to this, and at the same time, they knew in their hearts that they also had two sons, several grandsons, and an eldest daughter who hadn't left the court.

After thinking about it, Shi decided to give half of it to Qingqing.

Fang Qingqing refused to ask for anything.

"Mother, you are the head of the family, so the family's money must be given to you. Besides, give me the money, do sister-in-law and sister-in-law have any objection?"

Therefore, only half of the noodle shop's money is handed over to the public, and Fang Qingqing is only given [-]% of the proceeds, and the rest is shared equally by the eldest and second wife. She has no objections at all.

After all, it was really moved by the hard work of the owners of the first and second bedrooms.

It is actually not easy to make food, especially such a small business is really hard. It is the so-called "wake up earlier than chickens and go to bed later than dogs".

Sister-in-law Li wants to get up and make noodles to make tofu, Erlang Li wants to go to the morning market to buy fresh and cheap meat and vegetables, and Sister-in-law Li is busy in the back kitchen with the children and is working as a waiter and doing odd jobs.

They need to do everything by themselves, and basically rarely rest.

The business is getting better and better, and several people are getting more and more tired.

Many nights, Fang Qingqing saw Mrs. Li sitting in the room with her waist supported, she was tired from working in front of the stove all day;

Li Ersao's fingers were all frostbite, which was caused by constant washing in cold water in winter.

She also likes money, but she is not jealous at all that the two sister-in-laws get more money than her, and now it is even more impossible to ask Shi Shi for the money in private.

Shi Shi had other ideas.

In the past, she was in charge of the family because she had more experience in life, and she was afraid that her daughter-in-law would not be able to manage the family.

But now that the capital is such a bustling and lively place, it's time for her, an old country woman, to step back and avoid suspicion.

"Qingqing, to tell you the truth, I was thinking that if Saburo becomes an official, I can enjoy the blessings along with him.

But I also know that if he really becomes an official, I can't understand the things in this house at all.

From now on, the only one who can help him is you. "

So, when she was in her hometown, why did she help the other two daughters-in-law with all the housework?

I just thought that Qingqing could learn to read and understand characters wholeheartedly, read more books and understand some things.

In the future, at any rate, I can help Saburo more.

Because of Saburo and Qingqing's persuasion, she followed the second child's family to the capital.

It is because I want to see with my own eyes the most beautiful moment in Saburo's life;
It was also because San Lang entrusted her and the child's father in private.

In fact, people who are about to enter the soil, Shi Shi does not plan to stay in the capital for a long time, and she will still guard the rear with the old man steadily in the future.

Take good care of the home for the kids, and that's it.

Even if Shi Shi didn't say it clearly, Fang Qingqing could still understand the meaning behind his words.

So she put her arms around Shi Shi's arm and acted coquettishly: "Mother, even if Brother Sanlang becomes a high-ranking official, you are still our pinnacle of Dinghai!

Time flew by, and soon it was the day of Li Xiuping's palace examination.

Fang Qingqing got up very early that day, and stood at the gate with her mother-in-law, watching Li Xiuping go out.

Although it was still early, it was impossible to go back to sleep, but Fang Qingqing also knew that the palace examination would not be short and several people could only wait at home.

Fortunately, she is not alone in the yard now, otherwise she would be so easy to think about things, and she might even make something wrong with herself.

She still read and practiced calligraphy, and taught them homework, let them read and learn by themselves, and she would check it every once in a while.

The rest of the time is spent drinking tea and eating melon seeds with her mother-in-law and second sister-in-law, and chatting about some gossip in the capital by the way.

Shi did not tell his sons that he would eventually return to his hometown, but he did not particularly object to their wanting to stay in the capital.

The main reason is that the grandchildren are still young, and Saburo analyzed with them when they were at home during the Chinese New Year, if they could go to school in the county town.

If there is a chance, it is better to go to the capital.

It may cost more, and the savings of the eldest brother and the second brother will not last long, but the chances of future success for the few children will be greater.

Li Xiuping said: "I am very lucky. I married Qingqing. She is prosperous, so my imperial examination path is smooth. In fact, it is very difficult to get an official in the imperial examination. It is definitely more difficult to study in the capital than to be an examiner in the county. easy."

They were also waiting, waiting for the results of Li Xiuping's imperial examination and the real dust to settle before thinking about the children.

Among them, Sanmao and Simao must continue to study. As for the big and [-]-year-olds, it is said that they have learned to write their own names and some basic arithmetic.

I am no longer so interested in studying. It is important to know that talent is also very important. Li Dalang and Li Erlang, who watched how his third son studied since he was a child, deeply understand this truth.

Like them, let alone being able to read and write, they would definitely fall asleep first with a book in their hands.

Therefore, if Da Mao and Er Mao really don't want to study anymore, Li Dalang and Li Erlang don't intend to force them. Those who have opened a noodle restaurant in their hometown have already flourished. They know that as long as they have the ability, there are many other ways to support themselves besides studying and farming.

But, knowing more characters and understanding more principles is better than Bai Ding who doesn't know much.

So no matter what, they still hope that the children can continue to study for one or two years.

　[How should I put it, people always look forward to what they don't have, so the mother-in-law of the heroine of every book in my book is very good...]
