After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 314 Chen Xinglou High School

Years ago, at least it survived, but the problem is that this year, all places have started to run out of food.

Not only Gaoyang County, but several places in the north are short of food.

In Gaoyang County, Qingshui Town is currently the most stable.

County magistrate Li read the news of the request for food in the newspapers of several other towns, and was also frowning for a while.

To be honest, County Magistrate Li now has a deep sense of powerlessness.

He is an official, not a charity.

No matter how much wealth he has, it is still his own, not the official treasury's.

But now that all the towns are coming to him to borrow food, what can he do?
There is grain in the granary, but the question is, how much do you borrow?
In desperation, County Magistrate Li called several of his right-hand assistants over. After some discussion, he finally decided to distribute the food according to needs.

Just in case, this food can't be in place in one step.

"Qingshui Town is not short of food. My lord, do you want to consult Lu inspector to see if we can transfer some food from him?"

Before Hu Cao could finish his words, he got a supercilious look from County Magistrate Li.

"The food in Qingshui Town is bought from Ruyi Workshop. In other words, it is Lu Xunjian's kind-hearted wife who couldn't bear to see the villagers hungry, so she managed to buy food from outside. Now you say you want to buy food with He borrowed food? How dare you say it!"

Hu Cao was also in a cold sweat from fright, how could he forget this!

A porridge shed was opened in Qingshui Town years ago, and the porridge shed was withdrawn on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, after which road construction began.

It is precisely because of the road construction that the ration problem of many people has been solved.

Otherwise, it is impossible for Qingshui Town to look peaceful now.

"My lord, but we don't have enough food reserves."

"If it's not enough, find a way. Otherwise, why did I ask you to come here? Do you want to drink tea?"

Several people lowered their heads one after another, not daring to speak out.

Qingshui Town has indeed solved a lot of labor and food problems.

Because three teams were divided to build the road, twenty women were recruited one after another to help with cooking and washing dishes. When recruiting at the beginning, they all chose women with a large family and almost no food at home.

At the end of February, a letter came from the capital, Chen Xinglou successfully became a Gongshi with a good result of No.2 in the examination!

Everyone in the Chen family was beaming, and Chen Xingyan was called to the Chen residence by Chen Ke.

"Xing'er, your elder brother has now been selected as a Gongsheng student. I think the result of the imperial examination will come out soon. My father only hopes that he can study hard in the Imperial Academy for two years. If he can enter the first grade, he can directly become an official. , there is no need to take the examination of Shu Jishi anymore."

"What my father said is that my brother is well educated and has always been prudent. He will score No.2 in the exam. If there is no accident, he should not fall out of the top three in the palace exam."

Chen Ke was happy in his heart, and the corners of his upturned mouth could not be suppressed, which showed that he was in a good mood.

"At the beginning, your grandfather once achieved the position of the fourth grade, and none of us in this generation were too outstanding. If your brother hadn't been selected as a scholar when he was young, and then won the promotion when he was not a weaker crown, this would have made the Chen family Don't lose your reputation."

"Father, you should think that in another two years, eldest brother will also be on the list of the township examination. By then, our Chen family will no longer need to rely on others to live."

Chen Ke's face paled, and he sighed softly.

If it wasn't because of the decline of the Chen family, why did the Liu family insist on going to the Zhen family?

It's good now, the two of them got married to Zhen's family as they wished, but what happened?

Thinking about it, Xing'er was right, relying on others is worse than relying on oneself!

If there are no outstanding heirs in one's own family, the future is bleak.

Now that Chen Xinglou, an excellent junior, is here, others will no longer look down on the Chen family.

The good news that Chen Xinglou would take second place in the trial naturally attracted the attention of many gentlemen in Gaoyang County.

So there was an endless stream of door-to-door gift-giving, congratulatory, and proactive fawning, and so on.

Even Li County Magistrate came to congratulate him and sent many congratulatory gifts.

It can be said that even if Chen Xinglou could only enter the second class in the palace examination, the status of their Chen family in Gaoyang County is definitely high!

After Chen Xingyan came out of the study, he went to the inner courtyard to pay his respects to the elders.

This is the rule, even if Chen Xingyan is married, no one can say that she disrespects her elders.

After paying her respects, the old lady left her to talk.

After drinking half a cup of tea, Mrs. Liu brought Liu Xinghan over.

Chen Xingyan quickly stood up and bowed, and then noticed the inch-long scar on Liu Xinghan's forehead, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

Anyway, she got her life back, but she was actually luckier than the real Chen Xingyan.

Although Chen Xinghan was fine, he looked a lot thinner.

Not only that, Chen Xinghan's expression was stiff, and there seemed to be a bit of gloom in her eyes.

Chen Xingyan was not afraid.

At worst, they will face each other and see who can beat the other!
After Mrs. Liu sat down, she began to complain.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law is also suffering! You said that Han'er has hurt her forehead and is getting thinner and thinner. How can this be good!"

Chen Xingyan frowned. It stands to reason that Mrs. Liu is an elder, so how could she come to complain to the old lady in front of her, a junior?
What's more, this Mrs. Liu has always been displeased with her, how could she be willing to show weakness in front of her?
The old lady also sighed, Chen Xinghan is her own granddaughter, how could she not feel distressed?

"Han'er is also suffering. Now that the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, if you are not very tired, you should go out for a walk more often, and talk to a few sisters at home when you have nothing to do, so as not to be always bored."

"Grandma said it, granddaughter wrote it down."

Mrs. Liu was crying, wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and quickly looked at Chen Xingyan with a very sinister look.

"I heard that Xinglou's performance in the exam is not bad. It was a great thing, and the Chen family should celebrate it, but now that Han'er is still sick, the daughter-in-law really doesn't have the energy."

Chen Xingyan raised his eyebrows and said, "Ma'am should feel sorry for my sister. But now there is Second Aunt in the house. With her help to take care of it, Madam can take care of my sister with peace of mind."

Liu's movements froze, is this reminding her that she has long lost the right to give in?
Chen Xinghan still sat there blankly, as if he didn't hear anything.

"Liu girl is right about Diyuan, but I think that Xinglou is the child of our house. As a mother, I can't ignore anything. On the contrary, it will make people laugh! Liu girl happened to be here too. Now, I thought it would be better to leave the wedding banquet to her."
