I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 646 The icing on the cake

 When Mu Qing brought the books and handed them to Xiao Wu personally, they all took the ox cart home together. During their free time on the way, Bai Yunxi also told him about the situation at home, especially the incident of Xiao Si raising ducks.

“Xiao Si has put a lot of thought into this time. Except for the first batch of ducklings that were a little worn out, the second batch of ducklings have gained experience and the losses are much less. It seems that they have gained experience.”

Xiao Wu nodded, taking care of the cubs is much more difficult than reading and writing.

After returning home for a while, Xiaowu had just washed up, when Zhang and Baiyunshan came to the door carrying an old hen.

"Studying takes a lot of time. This is an old hen I specially chose to replenish the health of our talented scholar." Mrs. Zhang looked at Xiao Wu's energetic appearance and praised him with a smile.

The two of them talked for a while, then got up and left. Before leaving, they did not forget to say hello when preparing for the banquet.

“If I had known that your daughter-in-law was good at cooking, don’t forget to catch two for me. I’ve tasted her craftsmanship before, and my pickled cabbage will be inedible.”

As soon as Song Wang said this, everyone else looked at Baiyun Xi in shock and confirmed this.

"Xiao Wu is lucky. Since he has the guidance of a famous teacher, he should study hard and strive to get ahead as soon as possible. The rise of our Bai family depends on you."

Ms. Zheng looked at the proud expressions of Bai Yunxi's family, and then thought about her Anbang, her eyes darkened.

“Following Grandpa’s teachings, Xiaowu must study hard. As for how far he can go, the teacher said, if you work hard, you will have no regrets.”

"Haha... I know you are happy. My brother Jie came back earlier than Xiao Wu. As soon as he came back, he told me that Xiao Wu was not only the scholar but also the head of the case. He was ranked first. It's really enviable."

Baiyunxi didn't hide anything and nodded directly to admit it.

Seeing the old patriarch appear at the door with a cane, Baiyunxi and others quickly stood up, welcomed the people in, sat down, and poured tea.

Baiyunxi had no objection to this. It was a local custom to offer sacrifices to the ancestral hall. She only needed to prepare the offerings, which was a no-brainer.

“Thank you, cousin. In fact, reading is not that strenuous for me, so I don’t need to make up for it.”

"Thank you, Madam-in-law. I just opened a jar of pickled cabbage at home. It tastes pretty good. I'll ask Du to catch a few for you to try. Especially the stewed fish, it tastes really fresh."

 “Well done, you’ve given us the Bai family face.”

It’s really sad to think about it. Her son worked so hard, but he didn’t win. A child took the exam for several years and came back disappointed every time.

The old patriarch looked at Xiao Wu’s energetic appearance and nodded with satisfaction.

 Listen to Bai Yunxi's tone and look at her serious eyes. Mrs. Zheng suppressed the anger in her heart and stared at her for a moment. She didn't notice any sign of guilt in her and then smiled.

 Speaking, he handed over the basket in his hand.

“Here are a few eggs to replenish Xiao Wu’s body. It takes a lot of effort to study, so he has to eat something good.”

 “Haha...what do you know? This is talent. God will reward you with food.”

On the other hand, this Xiao Wu got hit without making any noise. Someone once praised him as a good scholar. She thought it was because they were deliberately flattering and saying nice things, but she didn't expect that this guy really has two brushes.

Seeing Mr. Bai and others sitting in the yard, Mr. Song Wang said a polite greeting. It was not surprising when he thought about it. No matter how uncomfortable he felt, he was also a relative on the face. He was a scholar among his sons and nephews, so he had to come to congratulate them both emotionally and rationally. Fan.

The family was sitting in the yard. Before they could say a few words, the old patriarch came to the door with Bai Yunsong and Zheng.

Mrs. Zhang scolded him and handed the old hen to Mrs. Du next to her.

“Your mother-in-law has ginseng roots in her hands. I’ll give her two of them when I’m making chicken stew. It’s a great supplement.”

 One hundred and seventy-eight. Seventy-five. Two hundred and fifty-five. Two hundred and one

“I went to the college to pick up Xiao Wu today, and I did meet with the dean. He said that he would do the apprenticeship ceremony after school starts. It was also his good fortune that dean Bai fell in love with Xiao Wu.”

 “Okay, that’s the truth.” The old patriarch nodded. What the great scholar said must be correct.

“I heard that Qingyu Academy is the most famous academy in the county?”

Before she could speak, another hearty laughter came to mind at the door.

"This is more than just good luck, it is a meteoric rise. My brother Jie said that Dean Zhang was a Jinshi and was very knowledgeable. Xiao Wu has such a mentor, and his future will be bright."

"Really, let me try it and see if it is as good as you said." Ms. Zheng tried her best to smile, but she was very angry.

They are both descendants of the Bai family. Xiaowu's luck is quite good, but her son's luck is not a little bad.

Bai Yunxi looked at Zheng’s trembling face and said with a smile,

“My cousin-in-law doesn’t know, but apart from other things, my eldest daughter-in-law is really good at cooking and pickling vegetables, especially her sauerkraut, which has the most authentic taste.”

“Okay, that’s good. Xiao Wu has gained face for the Bai family. Hurry up and pick a day to go to the ancestral hall to pay homage to your ancestors.”

Baiyunshan laughed, reached out and patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder.

"My brother Jie also said that the dean of Qingyu Academy wants to accept Xiaowu as a closed disciple. This kind of great good thing is harder to come by than pie in the sky."

While talking, Mrs. Song Wang came in carrying a knife of meat.

“I didn’t take it for free, I exchanged it for meat. Oh, what a coincidence, your fathers are also here?”

"It's no big deal that it's famous. Not to mention our county, even the surrounding counties combined, Qingyu Academy is one of the few."

Hearing Zheng’s sour tone, Bai Yunxi smiled slightly, took the basket and handed it to Du.

“I’ll prepare the offerings later and inform the uncle later.”

Mrs. Wang of the Song Dynasty handed the meat to Mrs. Du, but she was not polite and sat down directly next to her.

Hearing Song Wang’s teasing tone, Bai Yunxi gave her a rude look.

“Pfft~, even if there is no meat, as long as my sister-in-law says something, how can I be without your pickled vegetables?”

The old patriarch nodded, "Okay, if there is anything you don't understand about the tribute, just ask your sister-in-law. Zheng has done it many times and has experience."

“Look, the scholar’s ​​speech is different. What you think is easy is as difficult as climbing to the sky for others.”

Anbang became very irritable because he lost the election. He would get angry even if he was not satisfied. He made his daughter cry several times.

The old patriarch listened to the conversation between the two people, puffed on his pipe, and narrowed his eyes.

Hearing her father-in-law’s instructions, Ms. Zheng looked at Bai Yunxi with a smile, “That’s right, her sister-in-law, don’t be polite to me.”

"Is it so good? Anyone can go in and study?" Mrs. Zheng's eyes lit up as she listened, and she asked eagerly.

"Of course not. If you want to enter Qingyu Academy, you must be a child student or above. Before admission, you must participate in the college's selection. The dean will personally set the questions. If you pass, you will stay. If you fail, you will not be paid."
