(The second update is delivered today. Now the monthly ticket is 124, and it seems that it is difficult to reach 150 votes...)

The box was heavy, and Chen Sanlang finally got it into the study and sweated a lot. Fortunately, he did not disturb his family. He quietly went out of the courtyard wall and walked around the main entrance, and happened to meet Uncle Hua.

Uncle Hua just came back from outside, with a gloomy face and a slightly lowered head, as if he was thinking about something difficult.

"Uncle Hua!"

Call it lightly.

"Oh, Master, you are back."

Uncle Hua woke up and quickly saluted.

Chen Sanlang asked: "What's wrong with you? It seems that you have something to worry about."

"this……"

Uncle Hua was not willing to speak.

Chen Sanlang sighed: "Even if you don't say it, I can guess that it's for family turnaround."

Uncle Hua nodded.

Chen Sanlang asked again: "What's the situation now?"

Uncle Hua lowered his voice: "Mrs. I told you that these things should not be known, so as not to be distracted. You are about to go to Yangzhou to take the provincial examination. At critical moments, no disturbance will be allowed."

Chen Sanlang raised his eyebrows: "It's not up or down, how can I go to Yangzhou with peace of mind? How can I go to the exam with peace of mind?"

Uncle Hua smiled bitterly and said, "The cloth woven by Mrs. and Xiaocui was sold on the market, but the profit was not much. Recently, the sales have been much worse, so..."

I can't continue talking.

When a family has an income problem and its expenditure is inevitable, the result can be imagined. It will definitely be a ruinous end. Now the various expenses of Chen’s family, including diet, have actually been greatly reduced. During this period when Chen Sanlang was not at home, he would not buy a meal of meat for lunch.

Chen Sanlang asked again: "Does mom want to save money for me?"

Uncle Hua said: "Of course, young master, you go to Yangzhou, but it's different from Nanyang Mansion. The journey is long and the days are long. Without forty or fifty taels of trouble, you can't travel at all."

In this world, going out is a luxury, especially if you have a long trip and have no money, it will be difficult to go step by step. For many ordinary people, they can go to the county town for the rest of their lives and show off in front of their fellow villagers for the rest of their lives.

Chen Sanlang went to Yangzhou to take the provincial examination, and he spent all kinds of expenses, even if he was extremely frugal, but he couldn't save dozens of taels of money. Therefore, for many scholars, exams are not a problem. How to go to the examination room is the biggest problem. The root cause of being able to get rich in the exam is this.

In order to prepare for this sum of money, Chen Wang was so worried that he would turn white. But in front of his son, he didn't mention it at all, just because he was afraid that he would be distracted.

Chen Sanlang's eyes were inexplicably wet, and he suddenly asked, "She's going to borrow money from someone."

The income from selling cloth is small and it is impossible to prepare for it in the short term. Then there is only one way to borrow money.

Uncle Hua Zhi hides him, and says, "Yes, I almost borrowed them all."

The Chen family's ancestors were in Jingxian County and were considered a small family, but their relationship was far less than those of scholarly families. Their doors were as close as those of them. They were very loose. Chen Wang's family was in the countryside and had a short family background, so it was unlikely that they could get money.

"How is the situation? Are you borrowed?"

Uncle Hua replied: "It's easier to talk to the villagers in the countryside, and I have borrowed some more or less. Now you are a scholar. You are a scholar in the Fucheng City. Naturally, they believe it and are willing to help each other."

Chen Sanlang thought to himself: "There are some who refuse to borrow, right?"

“There are indeed one or two.”

Uncle Hua told the truth.

Chen Sanlang said, "Okay, I understand."

As he said that, he went straight into the door.

At dinner time, Mrs. Chen Wang asked Xiao Cui to catch a big rooster to kill, slaughter meat, and asked Chen Sanlang to invite Xu Jun over. According to the rules, the two families got engaged. During this period, it was difficult for both men and women to interact. However, Xu Jun came from a martial arts school and did not pay attention to those rules. Besides, she went to Nanyang Mansion with Chen Sanlang. What is it like to come here for a meal now?

As for gossip in the market, I can never prevent or block it. I just think that the wind is passing by and ignore it.

Not long after, Xu Jun followed Chen Sanlang, holding a basket of vegetables in his hand. As soon as he entered the store, he rushed to cook.

How could Chen Wangshi be willing to let him go: "Jun'er, just go and talk to Yuan'er. I'm going to invite you to have a meal, but I'm not asking you to do things. I'll be polite in the future when I go through the door and let you do enough every day. At that time, I'll be welcome."

Smiling, obviously quite satisfied with this future wife.

Xu Jun was so angry that his cheeks were flying. Seeing Chen Sanlang laughing aside, he walked over and pinched him without hesitation.

The supper was hearty, the atmosphere was warm.

During this period, Chen Wang asked where Chai and went, why didn’t he come back together. Chen Sanlang answered vaguely, saying that he had sent him out to do business.

Mrs. Chen didn't ask much. Now that her son has a promising future, there are naturally many things to do.

After dinner, they cleaned up and Chen Sanlang suddenly announced that he had something to say, even Uncle Hua and Xiao Cui shouted and stayed.

A light was lit on the table, illuminating everyone's faces brightly.

Chen Sanlang returned to the room and came out with a bag for a moment, which was quite heavy and placed on the table.

"Yuaner, what is this?"

Chen Wang asked curiously.

Chen Sanlang smiled slightly: "Uncle Hua, please open it and take a look."

Uncle Hua was a little puzzled, so he reached out to untie the bag. When the cloth covered on it was untie, a white light appeared, which made him even more touching under the lights.

The silver, the bag is filled with white silver.

Uncle Hua's breathing was absent, and some presbyopia's eyes were wide open, as if they were no longer presbyopia: According to his experience, this bag of silver was as much as hundreds of taels; Xiao Cui screamed in surprise and couldn't help but cover her mouth.

Chen Wangshi was also surprised. She hadn't seen so much money for a long time. She reached out to pick up a ingot. It was the official silver with a very good quality: "Yuan'er, where did you get so much money?"

These silvers were picked out by Chen Sanlang from the box, less than one-tenth. The reason why he didn't take them all out at once was naturally a concern:

On the one hand, it is difficult to explain, and he is afraid of scaring his family; on the other hand, he is just a scholar now, and his status is not enough. He should not reveal his wealth for the time being. He will show off his wealth and cause many disasters.

"I was appreciated by nobles in Nanyang Mansion, and he gave it to me."

Chen Sanlang had long wanted to speak well.

"Neighteen?"

Chen Wang exclaimed, not suspicion, but joy. In the Xiayu Dynasty, scholars from poor origins were talented and talented, and were helped by noble people. It was not uncommon for them to rise to the top since then. Of course, these help must have a deep meaning. There is no free lunch in the world, and they are funded, and they will have to pay back the favors in the future.

To put it bluntly, such help is often an investment.

However, if someone invests, it means that you have outstanding features. This is the best way for scholars from small families.

Soon, Chen Wang thought of the last accident again. The gentry in the county wanted to revoke Chen Sanlang's scholar's reputation. She was frightened. Fortunately, a high-ranking official came to the prefectures and counties to make decisions for her son, which successfully calmed the storm. In the end, the gentry in the county sent etiquette to apologize.

In this way, is this high-ranking official the son’s noble?

Chen Sanlang said slowly: "There is 180 taels of silver here, of which I will take 80 taels to Yangzhou. The rest will be left at home."

Chen Wangshi said: "There is no money at home now, you can take it all."

Chen Sanlang waved his hand: "Mom, just follow my arrangements. Haven't you ever wanted to buy some land in the county for a long time, one hundred taels, and you can buy some land."

Chen Wang was moved that in the world of agricultural economy, land is always the foundation. Without land, it is equivalent to a tree without roots and a stream without source.

Chen Sanlang said again: "If you go to Yangzhou as a child, if you are lucky enough to take the exam for the juren, you will be able to establish this class and your family business will be further expanded."

This is an inevitable thing. When one person achieves the truth, the chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven. When the influence increases, not only the family members, relatives, even neighbors, will come to join us, and gradually form a family system. As it develops slowly, it will also recruit companions as disciples, even tutors and staff, so that the power can be continuously stabilized.

This is the way to develop secularly; even the masters of the world need to rely on sects, right?

Family is the foundation of the world, because individual power is always small. Some children from wealthy families are born with golden keys in their arms, and have been favored by all kinds of people since childhood, and have grown up healthily and steadily. Before people grow up, elders pave the way, just raise their legs and walk.

Chen Sanlang was born into a small family and was no different from a poor family. Without help from elders, he could only rely on his individual efforts to achieve success, gradually obtain fame and status, and then he took himself as the center and slowly gathered people to form a system.

Such a family will basically depend on Chen Sanlang's future for the future.

When Chen Wangshi and others heard it, they couldn't make a sound for a long time. How could they have thought of such a blueprint for the future?

Like Uncle Hua Xiao Cui, as a servant, she actually wants to be safe and stable, and eat enough every day. Especially Xiao Cui, her family has urged her to leave the Chen family several times to change to another portal, or find someone who is almost the same to marry her. If Chen Sanlang had not passed the scholarship exam, she would have been forced to leave by her family.

Xu Jun looked at Chen Sanlang and was stunned: This is the man his father chose for him. From the beginning, he gradually became unexpected, and then he showed his talents step by step. In short, it was less than half a year. At that time, she felt a little awkward, thinking that his father agreed too quickly and suddenly. Now, when she thought about it, she truly realized what his father had done.

Did he determine that Chen Sanlang is not a person in the pool?

Chen Sanlang coughed dryly: "It's too early to say those things now. Everything has to be decided by the results of the provincial examination before making a conclusion."

Chen Wangshi came to her senses and said happily: "Yuan'er, mom, I believe you will do it."

Uncle Hua echoed: "Young Master, I believe in you too."

This is not a blind trust. With Chen Sanlang's current age, even if he failed to return in this provincial examination, there is still another one. He just reached the championship this year, and three years later, he is only 23 years old, and he is very young. Since this year, Chen Sanlang's performance has been surprising, from not being able to take the exam, to being a scholar smoothly, and then unexpectedly getting the provincial examination qualification one class ahead of schedule.

So, who dares to say that he cannot create new surprises in the provincial examination?
