Bestow glory to the king

Chapter 88
On the ninth day of the second month of the new year and the beginning of spring, the second year of the township examination will be held in three sessions. The ninth day is the first test, the [-]th is the second test, and the [-]th is the third test. After these three tests, all Xiaolian will take the test , During this month, those who have a son in the family are very nervous, wishing that their children will pay tribute. There is a Gongshina in the family who has accumulated virtues in the ancestors. If he takes part in the palace examination, as long as it is not bad luck, at least he can be a fellow Jinshi. Then the lintel will be glorious. If you are lucky enough to win the first class, no matter what the ranking is, you will be famous in history.

This spring, no one from the Xie family participated. Although the eldest son Xie Zhong also studied at Dongling Academy, it is a pity that he did not perform well in the provincial examination. The second son Xie Shao and the third son Xie Chao are gone.

Therefore, the Hou Mansion did not need to make any preparations for the exam these few days, and was able to live a peaceful year.

In a blink of an eye, it is the Qinglong Festival on February [-], the day when the dragon does not look up, I look up.

Xie Mo was called out by Yun's early on, and went to the main courtyard to fry beans with everyone. This beans are commonly known as scorpion claws. After soaking in salt water, they are fried in a pot. After the bean skins are cracked, sugar is added to the table. One year without being stung by a scorpion.

Although it is the Hou Mansion, there will be many ceremonies like this.

Most of the things in the house are done by the daughters-in-law. Girls like Xie Yu can at most give a helping hand and enjoy the fruits of their labor. No one will really let these delicate little girls do it.

Xie Yu had eaten the scorpion claws, and was about to go back to the room to practice calligraphy, but was stopped by Xie Shao. Xie Yu was wearing a goose-yellow pleated Ruyi scattered flower skirt today, and when he turned around, he looked like the most delicate flower on the flower branch. Duoer, pure and beautiful like an elf among flowers, even Xie Shao, his own brother, couldn't help being surprised, but also a little worried, whether this girl will have a good birth, and what will happen in the future!It's not a good thing for a second wife like them to be born beautiful.Just look at Xie Xin.Most of the toads want to eat this kind of swan meat.

"Today there is a market on Quyang Street. It is very lively. Do you want to go and see it?"

The Quyang Street that Xie Shao mentioned is the street in front of the Affiliated Academy of the Imperial College. Most of the academies in the capital are gathered on Quyang Street. If it is a market in other places, Xie Yuan is not interested, but Quyang Street is another Not to mention, there are academies all around, and there must be many good books in the market, so when Xie Shao said it, Xie Meng agreed.

After talking to Yun Shi, Yun Shi told Xie Shao to take good care of his younger sister, and then agreed for them to go out.

Xie Shao and Xie Wei first turned to Fuyuan Building to check the situation. Now the shopkeeper of Fuyuan Building is an old shopkeeper hired by Xie Shao with a lot of money. He has decades of experience in restaurant management. He originally ran restaurants himself, but later he got older. I felt that I didn’t want to take any more risks, so I closed down the original restaurant when I saved enough money. This time Xie Shao invited him out of the mountain, and it really cost a lot of money. The old shopkeeper is now only responsible for the management of the restaurant, and the rest Most of the things are still busy with Xie Shao. As for the account book and so on, the shopkeeper does not touch it. The staff designated by Xie Shao will check and enter the book every night, and then send it to the Hou Mansion for Xie Meng to have a look at the next day.

The business of the restaurant is still very good. Because it is newly opened, the reputation has not been spread yet. However, no matter the food or the decoration in the restaurant, it is unanimously praised.Xie Shao is currently planning to create some momentum for Fuyuan Building, so that everyone will remember this place.
