Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 289
Not long after the wheat harvest, Yang Mo and Cai Qing were going to the province to take the hospital exam.This is the last hurdle of the boy's test. If you pass it, you will be a scholar.Aunt Li and Yang Laoshi were more nervous than Yang Mo himself.The two of them were busy shopping, packing their luggage, and exhorting and exhorting each other.

Aunt Li asked casually: "By the way, Ah Mo, are you still going with Cai Qing?"

Yang Mo sighed and said, "It was agreed that we would go together."

As soon as Aunt Li was obedient, she said something wrong, so she quickly asked what was going on.

Yang Mo had no choice but to tell the truth: "Ah Qing's younger brother didn't want him to go. He said that there was no one to take care of him at home, and then he said that the money was not enough. He made a lot of excuses. In fact, he was jealous of Ah Qing, and he was afraid that Ah Qing would get a good grade in the exam. Better than him, overwhelmed his name."

Aunt Li looked annoyed, how could this younger brother dislike Cai Qing better than outsiders.

"Then he won't go?" Aunt Li asked again.

"It's not decided yet, he let me go first."

Aunt Li shook her head and remained silent.After all, this is someone else's business, and it's not easy for them to get involved.

The day before Yang Mo left, Cai Qing came to see him off.His expression is still faint, but there is a gloomy look between his brows.

Yang Mo suggested that they come out for a walk, and when they walked to the house built by Li Zhuxin, Cai Qing asked a question.When he learned that Li Zhu was going to move out, he couldn't help being a little surprised, and asked, "Is it appropriate for her to live in such a remote place as a girl?"

Yang Mo smiled unnaturally, and said cryptically: "... something happened before, she wanted to move out, so I had to follow her."

Cai Qing smiled, and quickly guessed what was going on.Then he teased: "Otherwise, you can say that you have a sweetheart." They used this lie once when Xiao Shi slandered Aunt Li for kidnapping Li Zhu.

Yang Mo shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then said seriously: "Let's get down to business, Ah Qing, don't you stop thinking about the exam carefully?"

Cai Qing looked distressed, and said in a low voice, "I'll think of a way."

That night, when Xiaofeng came to visit, she told Li Zhu about the Cai family. They were neighbors, so Xiaofeng naturally knew more than others.

Xiaofeng said angrily: "Xiao Zhu, you don't know how hateful that Cai Bai is. He took away brother Ah Qing's money, just because he didn't want him to go to the provincial capital for the exam."

"What? Does his parents care?" Li Zhu also felt that this person was hateful.

Xiaofeng said bitterly: "What do you care? No wonder people say that if there is a stepfather, there will be a stepmother. Cai Bai is his parents' sweetheart, and he loves to bully Ah Qing on weekdays, and Cai Lan is the only one in their family. It's better with Cai Dan."

Every time Li Zhu secretly complained about the family's name, Easter eggs, vegetable baskets, cabbage and so on.

After a while, Xiaofeng said again: "I want to lend my private money to Brother Ah Qing so that he can take the exam."

Li Zhu looked at Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng's face was reddish, and she looked like a young girl who was pregnant with spring. She said eagerly: "Xiaozhu, can you..." Before she finished speaking, Li Zhu understood that she wanted to borrow money.

Li Zhu asked with a smile: "How much do you want to borrow?"

Xiaofeng was overjoyed, and then asked, "How much does it cost for your brother to go to the provincial capital for the exam?"

Li Zhu thought about it, and it seemed that Auntie took eight taels of silver for Yang Mo. After all, the poor family is rich, so I feel at ease if I bring more.However, most people don't use that much.

When Li Zhu reported this amount, Xiaofeng looked ashamed, so much, when will she be able to pay it back?

In the end, Li Zhu lent Xiaofeng five taels of silver. Xiaofeng was so old and had never taken so much money. She was afraid of losing it, so she took the money and thanked Li Zhu before running home. green.However, Li Zhu felt that Cai Qing might not accept it.If he wanted to borrow it, he would ask a friend like Yang Mo.

She guessed right, and the money was quickly returned to her.It was Cai Qing who sent it back.

"I've already figured out a solution, but thank you and Xiaofeng." Cai Qing said as he returned the money to Li Zhuru.
