The splendid youth of the farm gate

Chapter 359 Reunion (2)
Lin shook her head, and rarely refuted Qingguo's words.

"But what kind of crooked melons are those? Can Master Jiu like them?"

Qingguo smiled, but didn't answer Lin's words.

The room fell silent.

Lin suddenly said: "Guo'er, it's almost Chinese New Year, Master Jiu will definitely come back, you see how much he has helped us, shall we find a chance to come and thank him?"

Qingguo glanced at the heavy snow fluttering like goose feathers outside. It had been snowing all day and all night, and a foot-thick snow had already piled up on the walls and eaves. Kung fu, if Ye Yu came back for the New Year, would he already be on his way by this time?

Lin looked at Qingguo, waiting for her to speak, but after waiting for a while, she found that Qingguo was distracted again.Lin opened her mouth, wanting to wake her up like before, but when she met Qingguo's dark eyes as deep as a cold pool, she shook her head and said nothing.

Once this year is over, Guo'er will be twelve years old, and she can start talking about kissing.

Matchmaker He said that many people had asked her about it, asking what kind of family she wanted to find for Guoer.

She is in charge of Qingping's and the young general's marriage, but Guo'er's marriage... Lin looked at Qingguo who had frowned slightly and fell into her own world, shook her head, and decided that Qingguo's marriage should be taken by herself. idea.

"Mother, my brother said that he will take part in the county's children's examination in the spring of next year. Have you made arrangements for him?" Qing Guo asked suddenly.

Xuanguo's children's examination is divided into three sessions, namely the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination.

County examinations are mostly held in February, presided over by the county magistrate. There are usually five examinations, including eight-legged essays, test-posted poems, classics, rhymes, policy theory, etc.The county examination requires the recommendation of 4 people from the village and 1 scholar before they can take the examination.

The government examinations are mostly held in April, presided over by the magistrate, and scholars who pass the county examination take part in three consecutive examinations.The government examination requires five people from the village and a scholar to recommend it before they can take the examination.Only those who pass the government examination can take the college examination.

Those who pass the county and government examinations can be called "tongsheng", and can participate in the college examinations hosted by the provincial Xuezheng or Xuedao.The college examination requires the recommendation of 6 people from the village and 2 scholars before they can take the examination.Only those who pass the college examination can enter the official school and become a local student.That is what later generations call "scholar".

With the status of a scholar, he has since entered the class of scholar-bureaucrats; he has the privileges of being exempt from corvees, not kneeling when he sees the county magistrate, and not being able to use torture casually.

Examination for talent is no less than modern university examination. The so-called county examination, government examination, and college examination can also be understood as one, two, and three.It's just that the scholars of this era are much more popular than the college students of later generations!
"Well, everything has been taken care of." Lin told Qingguo about the matter one by one, "The recommenders have been found, I went to Pei's school two days ago, what Shi Juren means is that the young general may not be ready yet. There are shortcomings, but I agree to let him try it, just as a practice!"

Lin's words were still a little bit uncomfortable, feeling that Shi Juren underestimated Luo Xiaojiang too much.

Qingguo thinks Shi Juren's words are very good. Originally, young general Luo started his enlightenment late, and besides, his grades are not very good. With Shi Juren's attitude, he will not let young general Luo feel pressured. It can really give an unexpected performance!
"Well, Shi Juren is brother's master. The master has the most right to say how this apprentice is doing." Qing Guo said to Lin: "Just do as he wants, don't put too much pressure on brother, we The family does not have to rely on his promotion to make a fortune."

Seeing that Qingguo said the same thing, Mrs. Lin's annoyance disappeared without a trace, and she said again and again: "No, no, I just hope that your three siblings are doing well. If you get promoted and get rich, how can you have a family?" Stay safe and healthy."

Qingguo nodded.

Mrs. Lin still understands this very well. Whether it was when she was poor before or when her life is getting better now, her focus is always on her children. Although she also has partiality, it is not so chilling.

After talking about Luo Xiaojiang, Qingguo talked about Qingping again.

"Mother, sister has been married for less than half a year, right?"

Lin said suspiciously: "Well, it's still a month away from half a year, what's the matter?"

Qing Guo smiled, and said softly: "When will my sister add a nephew to me? My brother-in-law is not in a hurry, but I am."

After hearing this, Mrs. Lin smiled and said the Qingguo sentence, but at the end, she said softly: "Your sister is a lucky one. Shu Qi said that the younger a woman is, the more dangerous it is to have children. I want your sister to grow up in two or three years." Turn on regeneration."

Forget it, her sister just turned fifteen this year, and it is common to have children at the age of fourteen or five in this day and age, but from the perspective of women's physical health, she still does not approve of such an early birth.Hearing what Lin said now, she was naturally happy for Qingping.

"Then Uncle Wen and Aunt Wen, can they be happy?"

Wen Shuqi is the eldest son in the family, he has never been a wealthy nobleman or an ordinary person, the eldest son is always relied on, not only in the matter of inheriting the family business, but also in adding heirs and children.

"Well, the in-laws and the in-laws are all reasonable people." Lin said.

Qingguo smiled, Wen's father and Wen's mother are good people for one reason, and more because they were born in the Xinglin family, and they understand the danger of this woman giving birth to children better than anyone else, so they are so sensible and open-minded!
"I'll ask the kitchen to make some delicious snacks later, and you'll ask your brother to bring them to your sister. Xiaobao likes them very much." Qing Guo said.

Xiaobao is the grandson of Mr. Wen, who is six years old this year. He likes to eat sweets the most. Because of his gratitude to Mr. Wen, Qingguo often makes a few novelty snacks that cannot be bought in the market and sends them to Mr. Wen.Mr. Wen's teeth are not good because of his age, so the grandparents and grandchildren often eat the snacks made with green fruits!
"Well, if you do well, someone will send it over, and I will let your brother go."

Both families live in the town, and it takes about ten minutes to walk. Qingguo nodded in response.

Lin saw that the snow outside was getting lighter, and was worried about Xiaojiang Luo who was going home from school, so she gave Qingguo a few words and then got up and quit Qingguo to return to food.

Qingguo lay alone in the rocking chair for a while, until Aunt Zhuang said that Manager Qiu was here, then she got up and went to the front hall.Qiu Cheng sent over the account books for the first half of the year for Qingguo to check.

"Due to the construction of the river this year, a lot of sour pickles have been purchased on the construction site, and the gross profit has been reduced by half compared to last year." Qiu Cheng discussed with Qingguo while drinking the hot tea in his hand, "Boss, look, It's almost Chinese New Year, do you want to prepare some things and go to the supervisor at the construction site?"

Qingguo put down the account book she was flipping through in her hand, nodded and said: "You can decide on this matter, and just write down the details when reporting the account later."
