Chapter 179

Shi smiled slightly and did not answer. Such a major event must be discussed when the whole family gets together.

Moreover, she pushed the old man out to let the head of the family make this decision.

After Da Mao read the letter, all the ecstasy of Li Dasi's sister-in-law Li Ersao appeared on her face, and Li Erlang was a little calmer.

I remember asking: "Sanlang passed the exam and can become an official in the future?"

"Not yet, it's been several days since we received the letter. I guess Uncle San is taking the exam. However, Uncle San is good at the exam, so he will definitely pass the exam."

Damao Ermao is like Shi, full of confidence in their uncle/young son.

This is true. Li Dalang and Li Erlang know that Sanlang has been studying since he was a child.

I used to be worried that he was in poor health, but with the third wife following him to take care of her, there was no problem.

As the eldest son, thinking more comprehensively, Li Dalang asked directly: "Dad, mom, we really want to go to the capital?"

Just a temporary trip, or will you stay in the provincial capital in the future?

These issues in all aspects need to be considered clearly from the beginning.

The farthest road Li Dalang has walked is just from Hongqiao Village to the county town, and he will go to the capital all at once.

Is this too big a step?

Old Man Li pondered, looked at the old woman, but said, "It's better to go and see. If Sanlang passes the exam, it will be a scene that only once in his life."

As parents, of course I hope to see it.

But Shi also had her concerns: "If we all went, this round and round will cost a lot. Moreover, the shop can't be closed, right?"

It's not a day or two. According to Saburo's opinion, it will take one or two months to go to Beijing from here, even if it's only counted on the road.

"Yes, mom, we're going to drink the northwest wind when the shop is closed."

Sister Li also agrees with her mother-in-law's words.

Now, the ones who need money most at home are her and Li Dalang.

The third wife's nephew's mother's nephew has been engaged, and Damao is only one year younger than that boy. Sister Li has long been secretly paying attention to whether there is a suitable lady in the county town.

There is also Niu Niu, so you have to prepare. Girls will have a better dowry in the future.

With the profits of the shop, she and Dalang have saved more than a dozen taels of silver over the past year.

Sister Li is very energetic every day and counts the copper coins before going to bed, because she is better at counting than Li Dalang now.

Li Ersao Li’s meaning is similar to Li Dasao. It’s very tiring to take a bus so far to the capital. It’s better to just stay at home to guard your own acre of three-point land.

Shi also thought so, and she and the old man had already discussed it before in the room.

So, at this moment, Old Man Li said: "The shop cannot be closed. We have to spend money when we go to the capital. Even if Sanlang becomes an official in the future, we cannot say that the whole family is lazy and waiting for him to support him.

That's what our Lao Li family cannot lose."

"Your father will stay at home for the time being, and let's finish the spring farming. This time I will take Erlang and Erlang's wife to Beijing together. Let's take a look in the capital first, and I don't know what the situation is there.

Dalang, you have handled the matter in the shop properly. If the situation is good, just ask someone to do it. Dalang will take your father to the Beijing area with you."

Shi even asked them to invite Geng Dazhuang and his wife to work as assistants in the shop, but they also knew that such words could not be said at this time.

Also, the younger sister also wants to stay. After all, she is an unmarried lady and her future husband's family is in the county town to go to the capital with them.

The children must have gone there, so it would be good to go outside to see them. The third wife taught her this.

"Yes, this is something I discussed with your mother. Do you have any other opinions?"

There must be no one. My parents-in-law arranged it very thoughtfully and took into account all aspects.

Li Dalang and Li Erlang were a little surprised and thought that his father would come to Beijing together.

However, Li, the sister-in-law Li, the second sister-in-law, suddenly understood. With her father-in-law's personality, she had to arrange the land at home first.

Even though their family has bought a yard and a shop in the county town, the most important thing in my father-in-law’s mind is the village’s fields.

Of course, Li Erlang's family had no other opinions when they could go to Beijing with their mother-in-law.

As the one who was left behind, Li Dalang's family was willing to do so.

Li Dalang means the same as Old Man Li, and I still think that the fields are the most important, and I don’t want to leave this place too much.

And the children all went with me, so it didn't matter to Sister Li.

Anyway, my mother-in-law didn’t say that they wouldn’t go, it was just a little later, so I don’t worry about having a good meal.

Therefore, after discussion, the Li family agreed unanimously, and the family will be divided into two groups for the time being.

Half of them went to the capital, and half stayed behind in their hometown. After preparing the things, Shi took Li Erlang's family and children to make a carriage.

Heading towards the official road leading to the capital, for them, it is more like another road in life!

Li Xiuping entered the tribute examination with Zhou Jian'an. Many people were crowded at the same time to enter the examination room, so everyone was actually lined up in an orderly manner.

They were all here before, but now they see so many juren queuing here, Zhou Jianan becomes nervous.

He was even a little guilty. He really felt that he had passed the exam by luck, thanks to classmate Li who had been discussing the topic with him for a long time before the provincial examination.

But when I arrived in the capital, I realized that there were people outside the sky.

Those who can come to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination are originally the best scholars in various provinces, and so many people are just squeezing such a small quota for tributes.

It's hard, it's really hard, it's really hard.

During the days when Li Xiuping went to the exam, Fang Qingqing, who lived alone in the yard, did not have a relaxed life.

Although it is not easy to sit and toss and turn, it is inevitable that you will be restless.

For example, the Zhou family's book boy only thought that Li Juren's wife was worried about her husband's situation in the examination room. Although he didn't say it, he was actually very worried about the situation of his young master.

But I didn't know that what Fang Qingqing was worried about was completely different from what he thought.

If we were to say that before, we could only consciously change our destiny, so we never thought about it too much, but we have already come to the capital.

If nothing unexpected happens, Li Xiuping will be in high school, and I don’t know if the scene of catching a son-in-law below the list will appear.

When did the wealthy girl, who is the heroine in the book, take a fancy to him?

[System system, can you please call out that book for me to read carefully?]

The more I looked at it, the deeper the feeling that something was wrong in Fang Qingqing's heart became.

After all, he is the male and female protagonist in the book. If this imperial examination paper wins three consecutive years, Li Xiuping will eventually be named the top scholar by the emperor, and all of them have been recorded in detail.
