Chapter 105 Go Home
Chapter 105 Going home
Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren stayed in Xihe County as usual for a night. The next day, when they were about to return to Qingshui Town, someone from the county government invited Li Mingren!
This time, Xihe County passed a total of three scholars. The magistrate Chen was happy. He originally followed the procedure and waited until these scholars entered the county to attend school. However, the magistrate Chen had dealt with Zhao Yunlan before, so after Li Mingren passed the prefecture exam, he began to pay attention to Li Mingren's movements. Even the magistrate Chen, who had gone to the Liu family courtyard, knew about it. As soon as Li Mingren arrived in Xihe County, the magistrate Chen made up his mind to meet this person first!
Li Mingren was confused when he came to the county government office. Before the county magistrate summoned him, Li Mingren stood in the lobby of the county government office, with doubts in his heart, and calm on his face.
Li Mingren looked at County Magistrate Chen who was not wearing official uniforms and stepped forward and bowed!
County Magistrate Chen gave up his hand: "Li Xiucai, I invited you here today just to have a simple chat with you. Let's just be more casual and go to the backyard with me to sit."
Li Mingren: "Yes, County Magistrate Chen, please lead the way!"
The two went to the backyard of the county government office one by one. After they sat down, the maid brought the tea to them. Chen Yuhong said, "What do Li Xiucai think about this college examination?"
Li Mingren: "Some people are happy and some are worried, and I am also lucky. This time, the number of admissions increases, so I can pass."
Chen Yuhong didn't say anything, Li Mingren continued, "My wife said, 'Three points are destined, and seven points are determined by working hard, and you can win if you love to fight.' The words are a bit rough, but I think there is some truth!"
Chen Yuhong nodded slightly, as if he agreed with Li Mingren's words, which made Li Mingren feel embarrassed, "It made County Magistrate Chen laugh."
Chen Yuhong waved his hand, "Stay good at rest during this period, and then go to the county school to study harder. The teachers in the county school are knowledgeable. If you don't understand, you can ask them more!"
Li Mingren nodded and responded. After that, the two of them didn't talk about any heavy topics. Chen Yuhong only asked about family matters. Li Mingren relaxed and responded freely. Seeing that the time was about the same, Chen Yuhong thought that Li Mingren was going back to Lijia Village, so he asked Li Mingren to go back.
After Li Mingren returned, Zhao Yunlan did not ask about Li Mingren's situation. The two of them rushed back to Qingshui Town. Li Mingren was upset. Why wasn't the wife curious about what the county magistrate asked her to do?
Zhao Yunlan was really not curious. This scholar was not stolen by the scholar, but he was truly tested. County Magistrate Chen did not arrest Li Mingren, so he was too lazy to care about this matter. Even if a couple was a husband and wife, he could not interfere in everything. If Li Mingren was willing to say it, he would listen carefully. If Li Mingren didn't say it, it would not be a big deal, and Zhao Yunlan would not care too much.
Now Zhao Yunlan is just thinking that she can finally go home to build a house, and the subsequent plans can be gradually arranged, so her family doesn’t have to worry about paying taxes by labor service!
The two arrived in Qingshui Town. Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren went to the school to see Li Mingzhi and Zhao Yuncheng first, and planned to take them back to have a meal together. But Zhao Yuncheng didn't want to follow him to the Li family. After studying for more than half a year, Zhao Yuncheng became much more steady and had gradually changed his view on studying. So he thought about spending more time to stay and read books. Moreover, this time his brother-in-law just came back after being admitted to the scholar. Zhao Yuncheng thought that the Li family would definitely want the family to talk. Although it was his sister's in-laws' family, it was the Li family after all.
Zhao Yuncheng thought that when the mat was being held by his sister's house later, he would follow his parents to come to congratulate him. Now he should study in school.
Li Mingzhi asked for leave with his husband. After all, the Li family's great joy was so much that he wanted to go back and listen to his elder brother's experience in the hospital examination, so that he could silently answer the exam questions and bring them back.
Li Mingren followed him to meet his husband and thanked him for his care over the years. The husband was also filled with tears. He was happy for Li Mingren to finally be admitted to the scholar. Zhao Yunlan didn't force her to see Zhao Yuncheng unwilling to go. After the three of them said goodbye, they went to Li Ji's hot and sour noodles shop.
Li Mingyi has closed, and the sun has set, and the four of them have returned to Lijia Village together in a carriage.
It became colder every day. The villagers closed their doors early at night. When Zhao Yunlan came back, the house was not closed yet. Wang calculated that Li Mingren should come back in the past few days, so he closed the doors late every day.
Li Mingren got off the car and went straight to the room: "Dad, mom, the child is back. This time I live up to the expectations of the two elders. I've passed the scholarship exam!"
Old Man Li has been in a state of excitement these days. When he saw Li Mingren come back, tears suddenly surged out. Wang's eyes were red, and the whole family was filled with mixed feelings.
Zhao Yunlan hasn't seen Xiaobao for a long time, so she held Xiaobao and refused to let go. Xiaobao also missed Zhao Yunlan. The mother and son snuggled up, and Xiaobao told the interesting stories about being at home during this period.
Wang's emotions were almost vented. He straightened his body and looked at Zhao Yunlan and asked, "How to arrange it later?"
Zhao Yunlan stood up and said, "Mom, my husband will go to the county to study in the future. This time I followed my husband to take the exam and bought a shop in Fucheng. When my second brother's marriage comes, we can start the restaurant. I think that the restaurant in Fucheng is almost stable and will be managed by my second brother."
Zhao Yunlan looked at Li Mingyi, and Li Mingyi nodded unambiguously.
Zhao Yunlan continued: "Mom, I want to take advantage of this time to build the house at home. There are more than two months left before my second brother's marriage. It's time to ask for more people to help!"
Wang nodded, "Then do what you said, and I'll hire someone tomorrow. It's cold that the villagers are idle. If you can take care of everyone, take care of everyone. Then build a house and invite the villagers to have a drink together. This time, we won't hold a seat for Dalang to be admitted to the scholar this time. Tomorrow, Dalang, you go to the village chief's house. Although you have passed the scholar, this is the case in Lijia Village, and we can't forget our roots."
Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren nodded. Old Man Li had just come out of his mood. When he heard that he wanted to build a house, he felt a little moved.
Wang continued, "When will Dalang go to study in the county? I want to give Dalang a servant, and then go to the town to find a toothman to see if there is any suitable one!"
Zhao Yunlan suddenly came to her senses. She lived in this ancient times and could buy and sell people. Although she had hired people to work before, she had no idea of signing a contract for selling her body. This time, Wang wanted to find a tooth, so she wanted to buy people!
Seeing that Wang could adapt his identity so quickly, he felt a little uncomfortable with this sense of class. In the past, the Li family was poor and was just a civilian. In addition, the people in Lijia Village were simple, Zhao Yunlan was lucky, and the nobles she met did not abuse their power and pretended to be an official.
Zhao Yunlan was stunned and did not respond. Li Mingren felt that Zhao Yunlan was uncomfortable and said, "Mom, let's talk about this servant later. After September 15th, I will start school. It's not a few days since then, and I can't find a suitable person for a while. I can do it myself without a servant. I will go and study it first!"
Wang looked at Li Mingmei bringing in a few bowls of noodles and said, "Well, eat some casually first, let's have a break early today!"
