After the imperial examinations, I grew up by farming

Chapter 64
After intense bargaining and two sticks of incense, Ning Yu leisurely sat on the arhat chair and pointed out the shoulder-pinching boy who had just arrived.

Take a sip of tea, "too light."

Take a bite of tea fruit, "It's too heavy."

Take another sip of tea, "Left."

Take another bite of tea fruit, "to the right."

"Kneading alone is not enough. It's more comfortable to pinch and hammer. Beat lightly and grasp the rhythm of strength."

……

"belch!"

Half an hour later, after eating two plates of snacks and drinking a large pot of tea, Ning Yu burped, and began to feel sleepy because she was too comfortable.

"Okay, that's all for today, there are two and a half hours left and I'll return it next time."

To be honest, replacing "kiss" with "three-hour shoulder pinch service" is simply—

Make big money!

Although if she wanted, she could find someone to squeeze her shoulders and beat her legs at twelve o'clock a day, but after all, it was only a physical enjoyment, a low-level interest, and a higher-level enjoyment was on the spiritual level.

For a person as outstanding as her, of course she must be grasped with both hands, both physically and mentally.

The shoulder pinching service from the future prince makes me feel as comfortable as I want.

When it was time for dinner, Yan Shi still had a stinking face.

Give a jujube with a hammer and draw a big cake to keep people's hearts lingering, so that the squeeze business of "maximizing labor force" can be pushed into a benign and sustainable road. For a potential stock that is visible to the naked eye, let it go sin.

So Ning Yu picked up a piece of fish meat and put it on the plate, picked out the fish bones one by one, and put the fish meat into the Yanshi bowl.

"This dish of grilled crucian carp with scallions is a specialty dish of Xu's chef. I specially asked Zhiman to send someone to Qingfeng Village, just to let you eat this dish. Quickly taste if it suits your taste... No chili is added."

Two marriage certificates, an IOU of 3000 million taels, and now there is an extra massage...

Yan Shi felt like a fish caught in the net, and sooner or later he would become a "grilled crucian carp with green onions".

Yan Shi calmly pushed the fish aside.

Seeing this, Ning Yu pursed his lips, and said if he had no intention of saying: "I wanted to give you a big gift before you left, but it seems that I was being too affectionate. Since Second Master Yan is not rare, it is useless for me to keep it... Alas, although It's a pity, but it has no use other than to feed the fish."

Killing Zhuge Zhan on the spot is really a lie to fool him!
Yan Shi put down his chopsticks, suffocating a fire in his heart, "When you are a good general, you actually!"

Who is Zhuge Zhan?

He was the No. 1 general under the command of King Dongjiang, the No. [-] commander of water warfare. He once led an army of one million and almost wiped out the Tatars and Oirats.

She, Xu Ningyu, can't control such a person, nor can her second brother, Xu Ningcheng. The war will stop, and Nanli won't be able to use him, so it's better to be a favor.

"No matter how good a horse is, if you can't tame it, it won't be a good horse. How good a fish is, you can eat it and watch it—"

Before Ning Yu finished speaking, Yan Shi picked up the fish and put it into his mouth.

"It's rare to come from such a prestigious background and still be so aware of current affairs."

People who know current affairs are the best to be bullied!

Ning Yu couldn't help laughing out loud, "Ho ho ho ho..."

County jail.

The prisoner in the innermost room was sitting cross-legged by the wall next to the window hole. He was sitting very straight, unkempt but not in a panic, and calm in prison.

Winner and loser, he Zhuge Zhan is proud and majestic, never complacent about being honored, and now that he is on the brink of failure, he can accept it calmly.

There was a harsh sound of iron rubbing, and the prison door opened.

"General Zhuge, we meet again."

Hearing the sound, Zhuge Zhan was startled and opened his eyes, and saw a tall and thin man wearing a black arrow-sleeved dress with an extraordinary bearing, walking into the cell. Anger from prestige, nobleness is overwhelming.

Ning Yu was sitting in the lobby reading a book, and when he saw Zhuge Zhan following Yan Shi, the corners of his mouth twitched.

The handsome little man who was rescued at random is really a treasure.

……

The next morning.

Yan Shi left Nanli with Zhuge Zhan and his men.

……

New Year's Day.

Duke Zhao Guo was enthroned as emperor in Wangjing Palace, the country was named Beiyan, and the year was named Wuding.

……

In the first year of Wuding, the beginning of spring.

Emperor Wu Ding issued an imperial decree, which shocked the whole court.

——Since the second year of Wuding, all the people of Northern Yan can serve their country through the imperial examination.

The news spread to Nanli, and the whole county was boiling.

But the elders of the Xu family are worrying about another matter.

"The world is peaceful. Let's not talk about reviving the family business. From today on, let's put aside all the important and insignificant things, and let's talk about the children's marriage first."

Mrs. Xu threw her crutches on the ground heavily.

The three sons and three daughters-in-law were all trembling.

Mrs. Xu looked sharply at the old lady, as if she didn't realize it.

"Especially old folks, your son is 34, his grandmother is my age, and his grandson can run away! Sister Xin is over 20! Look at your parents, there are even more embarrassing ones than you. Is it?"

"My old face, I don't dare to see people now!"

Speaking of anger, Mrs. Xu patted her cheeks twice.

The elder is wronged.

"Mother, it's not that I don't care about my son. It's not that you don't know Brother Wen's temperament. You can't even listen to your grandmother, let alone me, a cheap father."

If the son doesn't marry a wife, can he not worry about being a father?
But there's no use being anxious, his son has long since separated from him, and doesn't take him seriously at all.

"As for Sister Xin..."

"Our sister Xin is still very popular, not to mention, Chen Yunyun, the young son of Chen Jiliang Shop, and Zhao Xiu, the nephew of the third brother and sister's natal family, are all good, but... Mother, my son thinks that Nanli is not good enough. The son and sister of our family."

Mentioning this old lady makes me angry——

From the eldest to the third child, from the eldest daughter-in-law to the third daughter-in-law, they all feel that their sons and daughters are sons and daughters of dragons and phoenixes.

Those who are looking for a daughter-in-law are required to be literate, well-versed in books and rational, top-notch in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they must be a well-known beauty.

When recruiting a son-in-law, you must ask him to be civilized and martial arts, a good-looking talent, and no concubines are allowed. The parents in the family cannot have a concubine, and they cannot be poorer than the Xu family. I must have real talents and learning, and I have to swear to obtain meritorious service within three years. military post.

In the past, she also thought that her grandchildren were the stars and moons in the sky, and they must match the best sons and daughters in the world, but the reality told her that her grandchildren, apart from being motivated, smart, and good-looking, other aspects... Really average.

The eldest grandson has a weird temper and is too old.

The fifth granddaughter is a tomboy, she can know what a son should know, but she can't know what a little lady should know.

The sixth granddaughter is a sick child, who can fall down when the wind blows, and her buttocks are not big enough.

The seventh grandson has a good brain, but his hands and feet are not good, and he is terribly clumsy. This is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that the seventh grandson should be the seventh granddaughter.

The eighth and ninth granddaughters, alas, are wilder than the fifth granddaughter.

The more she thought about it, the more ugly Mrs. Xu's face became.

The eldest lady hurriedly smoothed things over.

"Mother, what Xianggong means is: now our Xu family is impoverished... the imperial examination will be held next year, Xiao Wu will take part in the martial arts examination, and Xiao Qi will take part in the literary examination. With the two of them, they will definitely be able to pass the exam... just right, our family You can use this year to accumulate some family assets... At that time, Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi will have fame and fame, and our family will regain some vitality, and when it comes to the children's marriage, there will be more choices."

"Do you still think they are not old enough? We have to wait another year!" Mrs. Xu disagreed.

Even Xiao Qi is twenty, if I wait any longer, I'm afraid I'll really leave a bunch of bachelors behind.

After being scolded by the old lady, the eldest lady didn't dare to argue any more, she lowered her eyes, with a soft and pleasing appearance.

The old man shook the old lady's hand to comfort her.

"Next year, we will discuss marriage with the children, and the second family and the third family also agree."

The elder stopped talking, and turned his eyes from the main seat to the opposite, "Second and third family, please don't say anything, just say something."

"Say it!" The second master pushed the second lady.

The second lady gave the second master a glance, got up, walked behind the old lady with a smile.

While pinching the old lady's shoulders, she said with a smile:
"Mother, Sister Peng is very wild, she has been in the village for four years, she is used to fighting and killing, and everyone in the village is afraid of her.

"Just say that in our Nanli area, which son has not been angry with her?

"The so-called world is as big as a person's heart is. What's the matter, Wangjing's son is more knowledgeable than Nanli, maybe there is a noble son who likes our sister Peng, mother, do you think so?"

"My lady is right!" The second master applauded.

"Sister Peng can't do anything else, but her fist and kick skills are better than her grandfather's. Next year, she will be the No. [-] champion in martial arts, and after being paired with a general, there will be no problem."

The second lady answered: "It's really not possible, let's learn what is written in the opera book, and capture a master of the village."

"Sister Peng..." Thinking of the reputation of the fifth granddaughter in Nanli, the old lady sighed, "Oh, look at how you, as fathers and mothers, have taught such a good little lady!"

When she thought of the neighbors in the neighborhood giving her thumbs up and praising her fifth granddaughter for her bravery, she dared to pick up two strings of human heads on a bamboo pole to intimidate the enemy army, her blood rushed straight to her forehead.

"Mother, don't worry, the eighth and the ninth will definitely be as gentle and virtuous as their sixth sister."

The second master patted his chest and promised.

"Huh!" The old lady gave her second son a blank look, "The one who beat the grandson of Wang Yuan's family with a swollen face, broken legs, and made a fuss in the county government, wasn't it your eldest son?"

"Accident, it's pure accident..." the second master said awkwardly.

"What an accident!" The old lady slammed her cane, "It's just naughty! Worse than their second brother and fifth sister!"

The second master wilted into an eggplant beaten by frost.

The Elder Master, Eldest Mistress, and Second Mistress did not dare to say anything.

"You three, are you very proud?"

The third master and the third wife were snickering and grinning, and they were startled when they heard the old lady's cold voice.

"My son dare not!" The third master swallowed.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law didn't laugh." The third lady opened her eyes and said nonsense.

The old lady snorted coldly, "It's been almost 20 years, do you still remember that you gave birth to a girl?"

The eldest lady raised her eyelids in surprise.

"Look at what mother said, how can I forget this?" The third master had a flattering smile on his face.

"I see that your son is older and son is shorter all day long, and you are very comfortable." The old lady's face became colder.

"My mother is also called a good grandson all day long..."

The third master muttered and was kicked by the third lady.

"Why did mother suddenly bring up Xiaoqi's matter?" The second lady continued to pinch the old lady's shoulders, and couldn't help asking.

When the third daughter-in-law was pregnant, the abbot of the Guanyin Temple predicted that the child in her womb would be destined for great wealth and fortune, and would bring good luck to the Xu family. Wealth and luck are lingering.

The fact is also as the presiding abbot said, after the birth of Xiao Qi, the Xu family changed its decline, doing whatever they wanted, and everyone was very lucky.

"okay."

The old lady waved for the second lady to stop.

The second lady sat back in her seat.

The old lady said her decision slowly.

"Yesterday, Xiaoqi's grandfather brought pig lungs and chatted with me for a while. He said that Xiaoqi's uncle said that the imperial court would re-screen the population, and the household registration and household registration posts would be issued... I thought, the imperial examination also allows women. Participate in...Xiao Qi, let her recover her daughter's body."

"That's very good!" The old man raised his hands in approval.

Taking advantage of the replacement of the old and new household registrations, if we don't hurry up to "set things right", I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future.

The old lady looked at the third master and the third lady.

"Third, third daughter-in-law?"

"Okay, of course, it couldn't be better!" The third lady smiled happily.

The third master nodded frantically, tears seemed to flash in his eyes.

"That's it, that's it."

The old lady looked at the eldest lady, "Boss, daughter-in-law, please make arrangements, pick a good day, invite relatives and friends to your home, and keep it from everyone for so many years, you must explain it well."

"Yes." Da Furen had mixed feelings in her heart.

To put it short, she has been married for more than ten years, but she is the only one in this room who doesn't know that Xiao Qi is a female Jiao'e.

No matter what others do, even the person next to her pillow is wary of her.

"Mother, what about the children's marriage?" The old man returned to the topic.

"Let's talk about it next year." The old lady waved her hand, feeling tired.

The third master and the third wife left the main room happily, and went to the county government together to tell the good news to the daughter.

Arriving at the corner of County Government Street, the third lady saw a familiar figure sharply.

"Hey, come back."

The third lady dragged the third master back.

The couple hid on the other side of the corner and watched secretly.

"Who is the handsome young man opposite my daughter?" The third lady's eyes lit up.

The third master took out the magnifying glass that his daughter made for him, and took a picture in the distance, "It's Prince An."

"He is Prince An, the one you went out of the city to meet yesterday?"

Yesterday, when Prince An visited Nanli in person, all the famous people went to Xiaoqing'ao to greet him, but Prince An went directly to Qingfeng Village, causing the women and children who were looking at the autumn water at the gate of the city to look at the air.

"How old is this Prince An, and is he married?"

The stars in the eyes of the third lady rushed out frantically.

She has also met the eldest son of the Xie family, but compared with this Prince An, he is still much worse.

It's not the appearance, but mainly the temperament is not on the same level.

Look, how extravagant and stylish it is.

The height is also suitable.

You must know that their daughter is taller than most men, and it is not easy to find someone whose height matches her.

"I heard it's more than 20."

The third master knows his wife's thoughts best.

Back then, he successfully married the daughter of a butcher family with his good skin, and he has never been short of meat since then.

Prince An is so extraordinary, it's no wonder his wife is not tempted.

In her 20s, and from a wealthy family, she was afraid that concubines would be in groups long ago, and her son might be able to buy pork. The third wife was heartbroken, "Oh, what a pity."

"Go, take my daughter home!"

The third lady dragged the third master, and strode towards the two talking and laughing.
