Happy pastoral sturdy little lady

Chapter 74 High School
However, today she took the initiative to ask him to give something. Does this mean that she accepted him from her heart and stopped treating him as an outsider?
When Ren Jianli heard her words, his heart was excited, and the corners of his lips raised high, as if he had picked up some priceless treasure.Immediately responded happily: "Okay, it's a great honor!" Immediately ordered the followers: "Go and measure the size of the guest room in the front yard, and then go to the furniture store to buy a bed and come back. Look at the desk and bedding and so on. Add some!"

"Yes, my little one obeys!" The entourage immediately took the order and left.

Da Ya couldn't help but widen her eyes: so refreshing?Well, not bad, not a cheapskate!He hurriedly told his entourage who had already walked more than ten steps away, "Don't buy such a good one, it's better to be simple and comfortable. This is the bedroom where students who are taking exams live, so there is no need to pay attention to anything!"

The entourage was also familiar with Da Ya, and when they heard the call, they immediately stopped and turned around to listen respectfully.After she finished speaking, she replied respectfully: "Yes, the little one obeys, and will focus on simplicity!"

Ren Jianli laughed, and teased, "What's the matter? Don't you want to cut me off? I agreed, but you feel sorry for money? Don't worry, I'm no longer the poor boy I was five years ago , I have a lot of property under my name. Spending a little money for you is nothing, it should be done!"

There are 1 acres of fertile land, 3 forests, 5000 shops, and a welcoming restaurant located [-] miles outside of Fucheng. The combined annual income of these industries is about [-] taels.In addition, he still has [-] taels of silver in the bank, and each has a three-entry house in Hulu County, Zhoucheng, Fucheng, and Beijing. These houses are also worth [-] taels of silver.

In five years, he had accumulated so much property from a poor boy with only 2000 taels of silver.To be honest, he is still very proud in his heart, and feels that the road ahead has a lot of glory.In particular, he partnered with Da Ya to open the welcoming hotel, and he has been welcoming guests in a prosperous manner, which also makes him full of hope and fighting spirit for the future.

Da Ya shook her head: "I am a child from a poor family in the countryside. It is my mother's life creed to be diligent and thrifty, and extravagance and waste are not acceptable." I don't feel happy.Instead, there is a burden.

Money, in fact, it is better to earn it by yourself!If it wasn't for testing his reaction, she wouldn't have asked him for something at all. Before getting married, this was the first time and it would be the last time.

"Frugal and thrifty, I know!" Ren Jianli's eyes sparkled, thoughtful, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

On August [-]st, Da Ya woke up in the middle of the night, together with Aunt Peng and her daughter Xiaocui, prepared breakfast and lunch for the candidates.The exam lasts for one day, from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm, during which there is only one hour break and lunch time.

It is autumn and the weather is cool, which is good for food preservation.

Daya prepared apples, oranges, ginseng tea, cool white boiled tea, biscuits, candies, meat pies, egg cakes, boiled eggs, and tea tree mushroom chicken soup for the brothers.The biscuits, meat pies, and egg pancakes are all very delicate and small, and they are very thin, which is the kind that can't hide things at first sight.

Each of these things does not have a lot of weight. Except for a gourd of soup, each of the rest only prepares one or one piece.This was done because Da Ya had already done a very detailed investigation on various matters of the imperial examination.There is a lot of food and the size is big, such things are generally not allowed to be brought in.At the entrance of the examination room, someone specially checked to prevent some exams from being carried with cheat sheets.

Her worry was really not superfluous.

On the day of the exam, she personally sent her elder brother, Xiangxi and others to the exam. After some instructions, the elder brother, Xiang Xi and a group of eight followed the team, passed the inspection one by one, and entered the examination room.

However, there were also many flatbreads, steamed buns, and steamed buns that many people brought, and the inspected officials mercilessly broke them into two pieces, or even several pieces.The students turned pale with fright, and there were not a few food that fell to the floor during the inspection.The food brought by some people was even forbidden to be brought into the examination room. There was no other way, the examinee had no choice but to go to the examination room with a pale face, only pen, ink and inkstone were left on his body, and the food basket was ruthlessly confiscated!
The elder brother and Xiangxi entered the examination room, and Da Ya couldn't calm down, so she kept guarding a teahouse near the examination room.Pushing open the window, she could see the roof of the examination room from a distance, which made her feel a little more at ease.

Ren Jianli shook his head helplessly: "Take it easy, don't be too nervous, but it's just a student exam, with Xiangxi's level, there is no problem at all! But, if your elder brother performs well, he can pass!"

"You put it a little more beautifully. Even if you perform supernormally, the chances of the elder brother passing are only five to five! In the past two years, more people have studied, and the difficulty of the scholar exam has suddenly increased a lot. And, elder brother It's really not material for studying, but he has worked very hard to pass the Tongsheng Examination!"

Having said that, she still hopes that her eldest brother will pass the exam and be qualified as a scholar.It is not easy to live in the cold window for five years. If you can become a scholar, it is certainly something worth looking forward to.

Da Ya was fidgeting, Ren Jianli couldn't see it, so he pulled her out, watched the red maples in the suburbs for several hours, and picked many wild fruits and flowers back.

After going out for a walk, I felt a little more relaxed this time.

At a quarter of the hour, Da Ya prepared food and drink, as well as three spacious and comfortable large carriages, and appeared on time in the small square at the entrance of the examination room.At this time, the small square is crowded with people, and the parents are eagerly waiting, like ants on the hot pot.

"Uncle Peng, park the carriage under that big tree, there are too many people, it will be safer by the side of the road!" The chaotic situation in front of her made Da Ya frowned and felt a little irritable.

"Okay, girl!" Uncle Peng took it seriously, and quickly led the other two carriages to a stop under the big tree on the side of the road.

Time seems to pass very slowly.

Finally, the door of the examination room opened slowly.

The first person to come out unexpectedly rushed out staggeringly, his face was pale, as if he was sick.

"Master, master!" As soon as the servants approached, he fainted.

Da Ya was shocked: "What's the matter?" It's very pitiful, it looks like he either suddenly fell ill or had a bad stomach, this young master is very likely to fail the ranking.

Ren Jianli nodded with a smile, and explained: "I should be hungry, tired and hungry, and highly nervous. Maybe the exam didn't go well, so I can't hold on this time!"

"Hungry? Not so much? Isn't it just a day? It's not a big deal if you don't eat for a day. As for being hungry like this?

Da Ya shook her head, expressing that she couldn't understand.

But, is it okay to go east to west?I hope that I am not like this candidate. You must know that only in good health can you perform normally or even perform supernormally!

Da Ya stood on tiptoe, looking around for her elder brother and Xiang Xi.

"Sister, I'm here!" Xiang Xi's voice was clear and sweet, full of joy and excitement, as if he had won some grand prize.

Da Ya followed the prestige, but saw that Xiang Xi was running towards her, with brisk steps and a relaxed expression, which was particularly eye-catching among a group of candidates with tired expressions and sloppy steps.

"Xiangxi, did you go well in the exam?" Seeing him like this, the big rock that Da Ya was hanging on her heart quietly fell to the ground.

"Well, I did well in the exam, I should be able to pass it!" Xiang Xi replied happily, and then sighed: "Sister, thanks to your preparation, otherwise my condition would definitely not be so good! Whether the exam goes well or not is hard to say Alas, all the food that the person sitting on my right side brought was taken away! Seeing how pitiful he is, I gave him some, otherwise he might not have the energy to finish the exam!"

"That's right, little brother, thanks to your help! I didn't even eat breakfast today. If I don't eat lunch, I'm going to faint from hunger!"

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old scholar bowed deeply to Xiangxi.The scholar's surname was Yu, he was sixteen years old, and he lived in Yujia Village, more than ten miles outside the city.Because of my poor family, I couldn't stay in the inn in Zhoucheng yesterday, so I got up early today and came to Zhoucheng to take the exam on my feet.

Along the way, he was in a hurry and didn't care about breakfast. He originally planned to take a few bites of the steamed buns he bought at the gate of the city after entering the examination room.I didn't expect that this year's inspection would be so strict. The inspectors would actually break the steamed bun into several pieces and then fall to the ground. People stepped on it several times, making it impossible to eat.

"Yu Cheng, thank you brother, if it wasn't for your help, I would definitely fail this time!" Yu Cheng reported himself, cupped his hands in thanks, and said sincerely: "Dare to ask this brother's name, brother's name?" Great kindness, I will definitely repay you in the future!"

Xiangxi hurriedly returned the salute: "Xiangxi, my brother, you are being polite! It's just a little effort, don't take it to heart, you and I can sit next to each other in the examination room, that is the fate destined by heaven. Help each other, help each other Take the other party, that's what you should do!"

Yu Cheng was very moved, and the gratitude in his eyes deepened: "The sage has a saying, the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by the spring! Brother Rao doesn't know, my family is very poor, and my parents are old. I am sick in bed, but there is not much food left at home, and my mother has no money to see a doctor."

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but feel sad, and a chill surged in my heart: "My brothers and sisters-in-law separated a long time ago, but they still used the excuse that I failed the scholar exam last time, and my parents insisted that I take the exam again. , being ridiculed and attacked by my brothers and sisters-in-law all day long, I really can’t live like this anymore. If this time the hospital examination fails, I plan to put down my books and concentrate on serving Nongsang, so as to lighten the burden on my parents and not let my brothers and sisters-in-law You have an excuse to hurt your parents! Therefore, this exam is very important to me! If I can get into high school this time, Brother Rao is a well-deserved hero, and I thank you again from the bottom of my heart!"

Another deep bow, a ninety-degree bow, respectful.

"Brother Yu, don't worry too much!" Xiang Xi hurriedly returned the gift, at this moment, Xiang Dong, Yun Wu and the other seven also came over one after another, and met Yu Cheng one by one.After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yu Cheng and Xiang Xi each left their home addresses and said goodbye.

Watching the slightly shaky figure, it seemed as if the wind could blow him into the air just a little bit stronger.Da Ya couldn't bear it, thinking of the miserable state of her family when she first crossed over, she couldn't help feeling sour.

She hastily tugged at Xiang Xi's sleeve, and handed him two taels of silver: "We've met for a while, and we'll be a good person to the end, so let's help him out again! Take it as a good relationship, and if he's promising in the future, You can also help in the officialdom. If you don’t pass the exam, it doesn’t matter, as long as you have a good personality, you can also be friends!”

Xiang Xi's eyes lit up, and he nodded with a smile: "Okay, what Eldest Sister said is very true!" He quickly took the silver and quickly chased after him: "Brother Yu, please wait a moment!"

Hearing the sound, Yu Cheng quickly stopped in his tracks: "Brother Rao, what advice do you have?"

Xiang Xi handed him the two taels of silver ingot in his hand: "Brother Yu, it is fate that we met once. There are two taels of silver here, so consider it lent to you by my younger brother, and take it for emergencies."
