Chapter 90

"Thank you Mr. Song for your words this time, and Qing'er will thank shopkeeper Song again some other day." Han Qing frowned and smiled sweetly.

Song Zhiyuan couldn't help but look at Han Qing with admiration, he was young but graceful and articulate.She is neither flattering nor humble, and reveals a sense of self-confidence, which is really rare among women.

Song Zhiyuan came all the way to bring a message, and brought a lot of pastries, and the Lin family immediately kept people for dinner.

There was not much food at home, so Lin Dazhi and Lin Shiliang went to the river to catch two carp and came back.

Han Qing was in charge of serving the spoon. Braised carp in brown sauce, fried bacon, a few pieces of scallion pancakes, and an egg drop soup were all home-cooked dishes, but Song Zhiyuan ate them with delight.

"Little sister-in-law is really good at cooking. It seems that Zhiyuan will come to eat every day in the future."

After finishing speaking, Lin Yuwen glanced at him, "If you want to eat, you have to pay first."

Song Zhiyuan laughed, and put his arms around Lin Yuwen's shoulders: "What else are we talking about?" After speaking, he winked at Lin Yuwen.

Lin Yuwen's whole body became hairy in an instant, and a row of goosebumps stood up.

……

After dinner, it was getting late, Song Zhiyuan didn't stay any longer.

Lin Yuwen sent people away, and the house was already full of people when he came back.

In front of the Lin family's gate was a carriage that was only available to wealthy families, which had long attracted many people.

Aunt Zhang came over to inquire. After asking, she found out that Lin Yuwen had been admitted as a scholar. She hurried back to the house to pick up a few eggs and sent them over, even saying that Lin Yuwen was promising.

At night, Lizheng also came to take some sweet potato and sesame seeds, and congratulated him.

All the acquaintances in the neighborhood came over to congratulate Lin Yuwen and said that Lin's mother was blessed to have a good son.

The youngest son is promising, and Mother Lin is even more happy, but she is also worried about money.

The imperial examinations cost a lot of money along the way, and if you don’t ask for the surrounding area, at least you have to prepare for the travel expenses, food, drink and clothes, and the teachers have to give gifts to some extent.

The family still owes 50 taels of foreign debt, what should I do?

At night, except for Lin Youtian, Mother Lin asked everyone to sit in the main room to discuss.

Lin's mother was hesitant, wondering whether she should take Tian'er to see a doctor. The youngest son wanted to get a good name in the exam, and there were many places to spend money, so save everything you can.

Although she shouldn't ask about her daughter-in-law's money, it's good to be able to take it out to help in case of an emergency.

She also wanted her third son to stand up, but she remembered that in the past, he tried to sell everything he could, but he couldn't heal his legs.It hurt my heart, and it took another five years to pay off the foreign debt.

Mother Lin didn't want to repeat the same mistakes, so she hesitated and said, "Third daughter-in-law, have you decided to go to Fengzhou?"

"In the past few days, I have collected some snails and sold them to save some travel expenses. I will go to Fengzhou in early August." Han Qing said decisively without any hesitation.

Mother Lin's lips moved, she didn't know whether to persuade her or not.

Having shared the same bed for decades, old man Lin naturally knew what his wife was thinking.

With his hands behind his back, he wrinkled his face and said, "Go, you must go!"

"The third child will grow up all his life, and his children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. The third daughter-in-law is capable, which is the blessing of heaven."

Old man Lin said again: "Third daughter-in-law, if the money is not enough, father will think of a way!"

Mother Lin sighed: In the past few years, because of Tian'er's leg, relatives have long ignored him, so where can I borrow money?
Now that the old man has made up his mind, she can't let Tian'er feel cold: "Then let's go."

Lin Yuwen said again: "My father and mother don't have to worry about the money for the provincial examination and Shuxiu. The teacher and Zhiyuan will also help me. It's important to treat third brother's leg first."

After discussion, the family finally decided that father Lin and Lin Shiliang would accompany Han Qing and Lin Youtian to Fengzhou together.

Mother Lin originally wanted to follow, but because of the exhaustion of the journey, it became a burden instead, so she gave up the idea.
