Houmen's concubine

Chapter 279

The other widows who came to collect the money clasped their hands together and said to Nanny Xu: "This sister-in-law, ignore her, she is just so cowardly."

"Yes, yes!" Everyone echoed, pointing at the back of Widow Zhang who was walking out: "Who is it? I don't know how to be grateful at all, and the money earned by the Qin family's business is not blown by the wind." Yes, no thanks."

"Yes, Wu's second daughter-in-law is not a thing..."

"Master Qin is kind-hearted, he gave us so much money to save lives, I will go to the temple to burn incense for Young Master Qin when I get back!"

"Eh? If you don't mention it, I never thought that tomorrow we'll go burn incense for Young Master Qin in the temple together!"

"Yes, let the Bodhisattva bless her to be the top student in high school next year, and marry a beautiful girl who is as beautiful as a flower..." A dozen or so women nodded yes, and chirped in agreement...
When Mother Xu heard this, she couldn't help but feel happy: what kind of beautiful girl is my young master marrying!

Mother Xu was busy for half a day. A total of 47 family members of the deceased who were killed by Japanese pirates came to collect the money, and there was a small episode of Widow Zhang in the middle.

Li Qiang's family and Wang Dashan's family also came to take away the money today, and when they left, they took their children and kowtowed three times in front of the gate of Qin's family.

Gu Yiming had already placed them in that house, and today a bricklayer came to build a high wall to separate the house.

Before Guanshi Zhu left, Wang Tong'er came out and asked Xiao Cong to pay him two liang of silver for his hard work.

Unexpectedly, he resolutely refused to accept it: "Young Master Qin, you have spent money on these dead brothers and done great good deeds. The small ones are just a little effort, can you accept your money?"

Wang Tong'er knew that he made a list of the family members of the dead salt farmers last night, and then he didn't sleep. He ran to inform them to come to Qin's house to collect money. Otherwise, it would take two days for him alone to gather all the widows.

In fact, the homes of the salt farmers are not far away. In addition, they heard that there is money to take, so once the word spreads, people can be easily summoned.

Xiao Cong still took advantage of Guanshi Zhu's refusal to rub it, and stuffed the money into his arms.

"Ahem, here, thank you, Young Master Qin, and I have to go to the salt field to do some work, so I will leave first!" Steward Zhu bowed to Wang Tong'er apologetically, turned and left.

······
In the afternoon of this day, Wang Tong'er just woke up after taking a nap, Xiao Cong came over with some letters, handed them to Wang Tong'er and said, "Master, letters."

Wang Tong'er received it and took a look. There were four letters. Of course, these letters were sent by Xu Jinshen and Ji Yu.Two of them were written to herself by Xu Jinshen and Ji Yu, and the other two were of course written by Xu Jinshen to Mother Xu and Xiaoxue.

The letters that Xu Jinshen and Ji Yu sent to him were roughly similar in content, and they were to announce the good news.

Xu Jinshen lived up to expectations, this time he won the champion of martial arts!
Wang Tong'er happily praised him in her heart.

Ji Yu is not bad either, she got No.3 and was admitted at the same time.

The ancient martial arts exams provided the country with a lot of talents. The martial arts exams are different from the literary exams, because many emperors in ancient times paid attention to "knowing the world through literature". No exception.

However, under the rule of Emperor Mingzheng, this "emphasis on literature over military affairs" has improved.

The martial arts exam is divided into three levels, from easy to difficult: government exam, provincial exam and program exam.The government examination is mainly held in various places, which is equivalent to the rural examination in the Wenju examination; the provincial examination is held by the central minister of the imperial court; in the Cheng examination, all people have to perform in front of the emperor.

The content of the examination mainly has six items: shooting stickers, shooting stacks, shooting deer, galloping stabs, asking about the law, and asking about the book of Sun Wu.

It turns out that martial arts is not so easy to test, and the test is also so difficult.

"Xiao Cong, quickly go to Linhai Restaurant to order a table of good food. Let's go to the restaurant to celebrate in the evening." Wang Tonger happily ordered.

As soon as Xiao Cong heard this, he quickly ran out of the courtyard, "Okay! Let's go, little one!"

Thinking of that time when I went to Liji Teahouse to see Brother Xu and Ji Yu off, I thought I was just swallowing my mouth and watching.

Unexpectedly, the young master actually let him and Xiao Min both sit at the dining table... This is something that I didn't even dare to think about before...

Hey, my mother!

That dish is too delicious!
I burned incense in my previous life, and being able to follow the young master... Xiao Cong always remembers Wang Tonger's goodness in his mind.

Before the young master came to Qinzhou, he was just a low-level servant in the Qin family who could be used by everyone.

Now, when he hears that the young master is going to treat guests to the restaurant again, and it is the best restaurant in Qinzhou, can he not be excited?

There is another delicious meal tonight, let's have a good time...
Regardless of Xiao Cong's happiness, Wang Tonger shouted loudly after reading the letter. "Mother Xu, Mother Xu!"

"Coming!" Madam Xu agreed loudly.

These days, when she has nothing to do, she tidies up Wang Tonger's things in her room, and waits until the day of departure arrives to pack her bag and go on the road.

Wang Tong'er took Xu Jinshen's letter to Nanny Xu in her hand and shook it at her, "Mother Xu, Brother Shen has sent you a letter!"

"Have you received a letter from Shen'er?" Seeing that it was a letter from her adopted son, Madam Xu happily took it from Wang Tong'er.

"Mother Xu, I have good news for you. Brother Shen has won the first prize in the martial arts exam!"

"what?"

"Really? Bodhisattva bless...it's so good!"

When Mother Xu heard the news, her face was full of tears of happiness, and she clasped her hands together and sang to God, her mouth was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.

It is worthy of my son to practice martial arts since he was a child, and he practiced three nines in winter and three days in summer. He has suffered for more than ten years!
It's finally the end of all hardships...

Later in the evening, when Xiaoxue came back, Wang Tonger handed her the letter Xu Jinshen had written to her. The little girl blushed and couldn't hide the smile on her face as she walked quickly to the west room.

"Haha!" Wang Tong'er looked at her shy little face, and laughed out loud.

I still didn't forget to say loudly to Xiaoxue's back: "Xue'er, come out after reading the letter, we are going to the restaurant to celebrate Brother Shen!"

Normally, the greedy Xiaoxue would have jumped out long ago, happily yelling: "Okay, okay!" But now she was unmoved, and she didn't see her coming out until half an hour later.

The little face was blushing brightly, probably she was too happy in the room, she cried and laughed a lot!

At this moment, approaching Wang Tong'er, raised her red eyes and asked, "Master, which restaurant are you going to?"

"what?"

Wang Tonger: "..."

Madam Xu: "..."

Xiuyun: "..."

Ha ha······
Even the newcomers Damei and Xiaomei smiled casually.

　Mammy Xu: It's worthy of me that my son has practiced martial arts since he was a child. He has practiced three times in winter and three days in summer, and he has suffered for more than ten years!

　　It's finally the end of all hardships...

　　Xiaoxue: Brother Shen is awesome!

　　Wang Tong'er: Well, that's right!
