Qin Heng put down the tea cup in his hand and said: "The second place is Gu Lingyun who has returned from the imperial capital, and the third place is Wang Changkai."

At first glance, Gu Lingyun seemed to be well-educated, and it was reasonable to do well in the exam.

Dongming Ziyu said: "Wang Changkai and I rent a small courtyard, and Gu Lingyun and I live in an alley. It's a fate."

Qin Heng smiled lightly and said, "The prices of houses in that alley are going to go up."

Dongming Ziyu thought that if he bought a few houses and sold them after high school, he would definitely make a lot of money.

But he has countless gold and silver supplies in his space, and he really has no addiction to making money.

Opening a dim sum shop and an express station is just to make a living for the family and the people in the village. When can you make a difference by just relying on a few acres of Susukaku land?

Unexpectedly, Dong Youliang thought of this and said: "Fourth brother, when we make money, we will first buy two sets of courtyards in the county and prefecture. After you are promoted to high school and become a scholar, we will definitely make a lot of money by selling them. "

Dongming Ziyu said: "Okay, anyway, there are still two years until the next autumn, we have time."

Qin Heng took out a letter from his chest and handed it over, "This is the letter from the second young master recommending you to go to the government school. You are the head of the case. The government school does not restrict students, but room and board are charged. The second master said, If you don't want to live in Fuxue, you can still stay in our shop."

When Old Man Dong heard this, he was both happy and worried, "You want to go to school in Fengcheng?"

They were used to relying on Dongming Ziyu, and they felt that without him around, they felt unsure.

Dongming Ziyu opened the letter, read it, and said: "There are bound to be erudite people in the government schools. If you go there, you can get guidance from famous teachers and make excellent classmates. In the future, you will have connections in the officialdom."

What he cares about is the latter. What the officialdom pays attention to is classmates, fellow villagers, the same year, the same subject, and the same discipline. It is not far away to fight alone.

Old Man Dong slapped the kang table and said, "Go! Go! You don't have to worry about the house!"

Higashi Arita said: "Yes, yes, we are here."

Although he said this, his tone was very unconfident.

Dongming Ziyu knew what they were thinking and comforted them: "We have Qianlima Express Station. It goes there once a day. Whether you are carrying things or sending messages, it is very convenient to go back and forth."

Old Man Dong smiled, his wrinkles relaxed, and said: "Yes, yes, convenient, convenient!"

"Drive! Drive! Hahaha..." The laughter of children came from outside.

A few men hitched up the animals to the "passenger cars" and pulled a carload of children around the village, making the children laugh loudly.

The busy people all laughed when they heard this, and the sound of clinking pots and pans came from the kitchen.

Seeing that no one could help with the cooking, he went to the school to move tables, chairs and benches and put them in the yard.

Mrs. Sun gnawed the cucumber, looked at Dong Shi, Shuan Zhu and the others chopped up the whole pig with axes, and said distressedly: "You ate them all today?

It’s just a matter of time?

Leave half of it!"

Dong Shi said: "On the big day, I ate everything!"

Dong Youyin said angrily: "You lazy bitch! You're busy even when you can't see me, so you just eat and hang out! Go and help with the work!"

Mrs. Sun blushed and said nonchalantly: "My ribs and wishbones still hurt, so I can't do heavy work!"

"How dare you talk back?"

Dong Youyin's eyes widened and she wanted to kick her.

"Hey, that's it!"

Dongshi pulled him and said, "Today is a happy day, not a suitable day for beating a mother-in-law."

Shuan Zhu smiled and said: "Yes, I'll save it for tomorrow!"

Everyone else made some jokes and went about their business.

They knew each other well, had fled all the way, lived and ate together, had no privacy, and understood each other's temperaments very well.

Knowing the way this couple behaves, it's not surprising.

The table is put together, the stools are set, the plates, bowls, basins, and chopsticks are brought, and the aroma of the kitchen wafts out.

The children who were playing wildly outside smelled the fragrance, and ran in with a huff and puff, and poked their heads around not far from the kitchen.

Shangguan Ruoli was so funny that he took a small pottery basin, scooped out half of the basin of freshly fried meatballs with a spoon, and called out: "Wu Lang, come here."

"Coming!"

Wulang ran into the kitchen.

Shangguan Ruoli handed the meatballs to him and said, "Go out and share it with them to satisfy your craving first."

"Okay!"

Wulang went out with the pottery basin, and a group of children immediately lined up in a row according to their size.

This is the rule, no robbing, no making trouble, waiting to be divided. Whoever cries and makes a fuss over the food will not be given to them if there is something delicious to eat in the future.

Over time, it becomes a habit.

The wine jars were all brought out today. Mrs. Li fried peanuts, Mrs. Liu made cucumbers cold, Mrs. Dahe divided the newly fried meatballs into small pots, and Mrs. Dashan grabbed a few dried fruits and put them on a big plate.

Then it was put on the table and the men were asked to drink first.

Shangguan Ruoli stewed the ribs in the pot, put the beggar's chicken in the oven, cooked the boiled pork, roasted the duck, asked someone to light the fire, and started cooking.

Fortunately, his house has many pots and stoves, as well as many ovens, otherwise it would be really difficult to turn around.

That's it, steamed steamed buns, steamed rice, steamed glutinous rice and lotus roots, etc., all steamed at Dayun, Xiaoyun and their neighbors' homes.

"I heard the sound of firecrackers on the mountain. It must be the fourth brother Dong Dong who passed the exam, right?"

Chu Xing walked in with a smile, holding two bags of things in his hand.

Tan Boxuan and several mine stewards followed behind, all carrying gifts in their hands.

Dongming Ziyu and others came out of the house and welcomed several people in.

Chu Xing was slightly surprised when he saw Qin Heng, "Qin Guard, why are you here?"

Qin Heng said: "Second Young Master sent me down to announce the good news to Fourth Master Dong. Fourth Master Dong has passed the examination to become a scholar and is the first in the list."

Judging from their expressions, they should be quite familiar.

Chu Xing came to manage the jade mine, so he must be a close confidant of the prince, and it makes sense that he would be familiar with Qin Heng.

Several people congratulated Dongming Ziyu, exchanged a few words with each other, and then took their seats.

After a while, Jiang Hongda came over with a gift. Everyone saw it, and another pair of bowls and chopsticks were added to the table.

After Jiang Hongda sat down, he said: "Our county has done well this year, and our Nanbeixi Village alone has won three talents.

The Jiang clan got two scores, but their rankings were relatively low."

Dongming Ziyu said: "The Jiang family is worthy of being a wealthy family with a scholarly family background."

Bah! Jiang Haoguang did all the bad things and still claimed to be from a scholarly family?

Jiang Hongda felt embarrassed and said, "You are the head of the case this time. Not only will you bring glory to Nanbeixi Village, but you will also bring shame to Liulin County."

Old Man Dong chuckled: "My fourth son has been smart since he was a child and loves to read.

A Taoist priest told him his fortune and said he had great fortune!"

Dongming Ziyu looked amused and said, "Dad, don't say that, be humble."

Dong Chunlei said: "It's really not modest! We can live here thanks to you. It can be seen that the sky has eyes and treats good people kindly."
