Nongmen Jinfeng: Cold-noodled husband and little daughter-in-law

Chapter 1496 Reporting Good News

Jewelry has been brought back from the capital, so there is no preparation for these jade articles. After all, I still hope that the luggage can be lighter when traveling a long way.

So I just came to add some before going home today, and I plan to add it to Xiaoman and Yushuang's dowry.Of course, a lot has been added to their dowries over the years, and it is impossible to purchase any more.

When paying the bill, shopkeeper Zhou took a look at Zhao Anyao and was immediately embarrassed.Seeing this, Zhao Anyao quickly smiled and said, "I'm the wife of the Fang family now, so don't give me a free gift from Uncle Zhou."

"Hahaha..." Fang Xiaofu was amused, and teased, "Let's forget it for free, and a discount is still okay, otherwise it's not easy to do it later."

Uncle Zhou laughed too, and asked Xiao Er to calculate the [-]% discount, which was a matter of business.

But as soon as they turned around, they took three colored paper kites and three sepak takraw balls for the children. Ge Xiaobao, Tang Si and Tang Ming immediately accepted them happily, and saluted and thanked the shopkeeper Zhou.

The little sisters of the Wang family each got a silver bracelet inlaid with broken jade, and Fang Xiaofu, the three sisters and Qin Huo got a gold bracelet inlaid with broken jade.The difference is only the color and shape of the inlaid broken jade.

Fang Xiaofu liked this kind of small, cute, delicate and lively jewelry very much, and immediately thanked him happily. Everyone was in the same mood, so they all thanked on the spot and put them on.

As for Qin Po and Yuan Sanniang, they are women, shopkeeper Zhou naturally doesn't take care of them, and only pleases little girls and children.

Of course, Qin Po and Yuan Sanniang have been with Fang Xiaofu for so long, Fang Xiaofu naturally has something to give them.Including the wives of Lin and Zhu, she has given hundreds of pairs of jade bracelets or other jewelry.

Qin Po is an old man beside Dongfang Yu, and Fang Xiaofu treats her like an elder, so when there were not many big night pearls, he gave her one.

A big luminous pearl can be worth countless jewelry.

After paying the bill and talking a few more gossips, everyone went out of Ruyizhai happily, got into the carriage and went out to the south gate to go home.

After arriving in the town, Xu Jiaxi said goodbye to everyone and went back to his home, but Xiaoman and Ji were going to watch the ceremony the day after tomorrow.At the three-way intersection, Shi Yizhao was also anxious to go back to Shijiapo to report the good news, so he said hello and galloped.

Fang Xiaofu looked at the happy young man on the horse through the car window, and couldn't help but smile. Although Shi Yizhao entered school late and didn't take the exam with his brothers back then, but now he got No.10 in the exam. Best grade yet.

Of course, not having to work for the past two years and being taught by a teacher has benefited more than in the village school, which is also a major advantage.

The brothers above had to work and study at the same time, and some even gave up the road to the imperial examination and then resumed it when they had the conditions.

"Little Qier, I'm going to Daliu Village, you go home first, I'll be back soon." Fang Zizhan had already ridden on the horse, and Fang Ziyuan came to drive the carriage.

"Well, I'll wait for you to eat." Fang Xiaofu waved to him with a smile, very virtuous.

After Fang Zizhan rode his horse away, the carriage entered Fangshan Village not long after, greeting everyone along the way.From the entrance of the village, Zituo and Ziya began to loudly announce the names on the list of the hospital examination, and they rode their horses all the way to the village, and they almost missed the gong.

But their loud voices still called out many people, and everyone laughed happily when they heard the list of candidates, so many people who heard it rushed to tell each other, and the news quickly spread throughout the village.

Lin Shuqi has been sitting on a small stool today weaving bamboo baskets in the alley on the west side, looking at the gate from time to time.Others only said that the scholar was tired and came out to take a breather to change his mood, but they didn't know that he was anxiously waiting for the results of the hospital examination.

Hearing the voice from the door, he immediately dropped his work and ran over, and asked Zituo anxiously, "What about me? What about me? What about me?"

"Sixteen! Sixteen!" Ziya walked over, and immediately took the initiative to talk to her.

"Me? Sixteen?" Lin Shuqi's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Ziya in disbelief, "You said I was sixteen? Second?"

Ziya nodded, and Zituo said, "Go back and tell your parents."

"Ah! I've passed the exam! I've passed the exam!" Lin Shuqi finally accepted the answer, raised his head and shouted excitedly.This is the first time everyone has seen such an emotionally exposed young man.

"Ah! My God! Our Lin family has also produced a scholar! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa..." Before Lin Shuqi turned to look for his parents, he heard his mother crying and laughing excitedly.

"Mother! I passed the exam! I passed the exam!" Lin Shuqi ran to hug his mother and grinned, and finally both mother and son burst into tears.

At such an exciting scene, the villagers who rushed over were very moved. Some were wiping tears, some were smiling and congratulating, and some were pulling Zituo and Ziya to ask about their own situation.

Not long after, Lin Shubao, who was playing in a distant place, also ran back panting. Knowing that his eldest brother had passed the exam, he was also jumping with joy, and turned to look for his father.

"Father feeds the pigs at home, I'll go find him." Lin Shubao said loudly when he remembered this, and then ran out in a hurry.

In order to pay off their debts, the Lin family sold all their small fields. Except for the half-acre wheat field and a large cotton field near their home, they had almost nothing left.

Later, my days of making handbags with Lao Fang's family gradually improved, but Uncle Lin was not in good health, so he half-supported his body to do some strip work and raise some chickens and ducks.Later, when I moved to the county seat, I stopped raising chickens and ducks.

Afterwards, I came back to live in a large courtyard, and everyone worked together. Chickens and ducks were not easy to raise, so I built a pig pen at home and raised a pen of pigs. Every day I found time to cook and feed the pigs. Lin Shuqi helped clean the pig pens.

However, there are many people eating in the courtyard, and there will always be a lot of hog water in the day. If any of the ten families raises pigs, it is estimated that they will be divided. In addition to the pig food pulled from the roadside and the hillside, it is still very easy to raise pigs. .

In the past three years, Dazayuan has consumed a lot of pork, mainly buying pigs from the village, plus the massacre at the entrance of the village would sometimes come to buy pigs. Therefore, apart from making money from Dazayuan, the Lin family has also become one of the main sources of income by raising pigs. .

That night, many people gathered in front of the courtyard, listening to the village chief's speech.The village chief said that this time there were about [-] people who were admitted as scholars and won glory for the village. Each of them was rewarded with a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones!
Regardless of the ranking, everyone who passed the exam was available, and those who didn't pass the exam were greedy for a while.Beginning with the college examination, it is held every three years, and every three years, many children are accumulated to wait for the examination.

There were more than 30 people in Fangshan Village who took the exam last term, and the pass rate was 40%. This year, more than [-] people took the exam, and the pass rate was more than [-]% but not [-]%.

Similarly, all four brothers of the old Fang family passed the exam in the previous period, and three of them were ranked second, fifth, and tenth in the first list, and the 13-year-old brother also ranked in the second list.
