Chapter 105
Old man An and the others nodded with a smile. It is a good thing to get close to the magistrate, and it is also good for An Yanshu in the future. The An family and the others are happy to see it.

Thinking of the day of the scientific examination, old man An exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "It will be about half a month, and there should be news of my return."

An Yanshu nodded: "The results will come out in seven days. If you are lucky enough to be shortlisted, someone will come to inform you."

"Brother, you've been preparing for this provincial exam for so many years, and now you've finally finished the exam. You can rest at home during this time. Reading doesn't happen overnight."

An Zhiyan quickly echoed: "That's right, brother, my sister is right. You read books all day long in Fucheng. Now that you've finally come back, we have to go around when we have time. Anyway, there are still some days before we go back."

Not only An Zhinan and his sister persuaded, but old man An and others also supported An Yanshu to rest at home for a while.

Seeing that her two grandsons had lost weight after a few months, Mrs. An felt distressed. She got up silently and went out, planning to go to the village chief's house to buy a chicken for them to nourish their bodies.

The An family has never raised chickens and ducks. First, the An family’s labor force is only An Chongyuan and old man An. A lot of work falls to Mrs. An and Chen Jingrong, and there is no time to feed them; second, they also want to raise chickens and ducks. , in case the baby granddaughter is smoked again.

Therefore, An's family has not raised chickens and ducks in these years. An Zhinan said it once or twice, and every time Mrs. An disagreed, so she didn't say anything, so every time he ate chicken, he went to the village to find everyone to buy it.

After talking with his family in the main room for a while, An Zhinan was taken away by his two elder brothers.

Looking at the exquisitely carved wooden bracelet in front of him, An Zhinan blinked his eyes, looked up at An Zhiyan: "Second Brother, is this for me?"

"Yeah, sister, do you like it? Although it's not expensive, I thought it would suit you right away, so I bought it," holding the wooden bracelet expectantly.

"Hey, thank you, second brother, I like it very much," An Zhinan put the wooden bracelet on his wrist and held it in front of him to admire.

Not to mention, the carving work at this time is really superb, the patterns on it are carved very three-dimensionally, and it looks extremely beautiful.

Seeing that his sister liked it, An Zhiyan was satisfied, especially when he saw his sister's smile, he immediately felt that everything was worth it.

In the future, I must earn more money and buy better-looking and more expensive things for my sister, An Zhiyan secretly vowed in his heart.

At this moment, An Yanshu also took out a wooden box from his luggage and handed it to An Zhinan, and said in a gentle voice, "Open it and see if you like it."

An Zhinan smiled sweetly, and opened the box to reveal Bu Yao inside.

The whole body is carved in gold, and at the end is a cloud pattern, dotted with some pink flowers, which looks lovely, soft and delicate.

An Zhinan's eyes widened, and he subconsciously asked, "Brother, don't be afraid that this will be expensive."

An Yanshu's face was full of doting: "Fortunately, a few days ago, I helped an official's son write a lonely book, and I gave some gold as a reward, and I just took it to make this walk for you, is it what you want? "

"I like it very much, thank you big brother, it's just that big brother bought me things in the end with the money he earned so hard. Don't buy it in the future, big brother. As long as you come back safely, I will be very happy. Keep the money for yourself. Fucheng is no better than At home, everything needs money."

Looking at the younger sister who was earnestly admonishing her like a little adult, An Yanshu laughed loudly and said, "Because you are a younger sister, we should treat you well. Don't worry, your second brother and I know that well."

An Zhinan smiled and nodded, carefully holding Bu Yao in his hand.

"Let's go, I haven't been home for so long, let's see if there is anything I can do to help," An Yanshu said before walking out.

An Zhinan and the two hurriedly followed, thinking of the fruit trees planted in Fucheng before, he asked, "Big brother and second brother, did you water the fruit trees I planted in Fucheng before?"

"Don't worry, I water it every day, those trees will grow well when I come back," An Zhiyan grinned.

"That's good. I also planted two trees behind our main house, and we will be able to eat the fruit next year."

"Then I hope they will bear a lot of fruit next year, so that you can eat enough, sister."

The three brothers and sisters walked into the kitchen talking and laughing.

Mrs. An had just killed the chicken and was about to pluck the feathers. An Zhiyan stepped forward to take it in two steps at a time: "Grandma, let me do it. You rest."

An Yanshu also consciously sat by the stove to watch the fire.

The eldest grandson was fine, he used to help out from time to time at home, but the younger grandson ran out of the sky, it was rare to be so considerate, Mrs. An was still a little unaccustomed to it, so she smiled and walked away.

For the next ten days, An Yanshu really didn't read all the time, he helped the family with work from time to time, went out for a walk with his younger brother, and went to the next door to ask Mr. Liao for advice. It was a rare and relaxing life.

It was exactly half a month before the two brothers An Yanshu came back. The old man An didn't go out all day, but sat drinking tea in the main room. He looked calm on the outside but was anxious inside.

Counting the days, it was time for the news, and seeing that it was almost noon, I couldn't help feeling extremely anxious.

"Father, are you still waiting? Maybe someone will come tomorrow," An Chongyuan would not know what old man An was anxious about, the hot tea was cold now and he hadn't even taken a sip yet.

"Aren't I afraid of missing it? Where's the inkstone book? Did you go to the next door again?"

An Chongyuan nodded: "That's right, now instead of reading books all day long, he runs to Mr. Liao's side all day. I heard from Nan Nan that he has learned a lot from Mr. Liao recently in Yanshu."

"Old Liao is a man of real ability. It is a blessing for us to get to know him, but it's not good to bother him all the time. In this way, you will go to the next door and invite someone to come to your house for lunch, and I will get some wine and come back."

An Chongyuan nodded hastily: "Sure, I'll go there in a while, I'm afraid there is no meat at home, I'll go cut some pork back."

"it is good."

On Elder Liao's side, An Zhinan had finished his morning work and was sitting in Master's study practicing calligraphy. Opposite him was Master and elder brother, who were discussing the contents with a book.

An Zhinan looked up from time to time, and smiled when he saw the two expressing their views.

Mr. Liao has been trying to change An Yanshu's way of doing things these days, but the result is still in vain. He can only 'curve to save the country'. Since he can't change the fundamentals, he should make the process more tactful, so that his apprentice will not be sad if something happens in the future. .

In Mr. Liao's view, An Yanshu has real materials, is humble, and must leave his official career. It's just a matter of time.

Mr. Liao patted the non-existent dust on his robe and said, "Forget it, it's getting late, you go home for dinner, and that's all for today, Yanshu, I send you a sentence, 'Take history as a mirror, and you can understand the gains and losses. ', remember."
