The news that Lu Yan passed the civil service examination spread quickly. Liu asked him if he wanted to go home and hold a flowing banquet or something, but he refused: "It's just that he is the first scholar, there is nothing to celebrate, and it will be in August."
It’s time to take the provincial examination. If you can get good results in the provincial examination, let’s treat you to dinner.”
Madam Liu thought it was okay, her son's mentality was so stable that she didn't need to worry about it at all.
My son has really grown up!
"Although we don't hold a big banquet, we should still invite relatives and close friends to celebrate." He Yunxi said, "And the master and others should also express their gratitude."
"What Yunxi said is that it's not a big thing, but a small celebration is still necessary." Liu agreed, "Yunxi, I'll leave this to you?"
"Okay, mother."
"Okay. That's what you all said, so you can figure it out." Lu Yan said, "I'll go to Master's house."
"Then by the way, please ask me when I have time, please come to my house for dinner." He Yunxi said to him, "In addition, just invite my grandpa and the others to come? Do you have anyone else you want to invite?
?”
"No more." Lu Yan had a relatively good relationship with Huang Yumin and Yu Shaoyu in the college. These two people should have also fallen into the trap, and the family might be planning a treat.
He Yunxi also thought about whether to invite Wang Yuyan, but considering that she is already seven months old and has a big belly, if something happens to her when she comes out, she will be guilty.
In fact, seven months of pregnancy is still relatively early, but she and Luo Zixuan are very nervous about the baby and wish they could stay in bed every day until the birth. If she hadn't said that walking more during pregnancy would help to have a baby later, she probably wouldn't even want to go out in the yard.
.
After Lu Yan left, He Yunxi went to Xiulou to see Li Yao.
She took Luo Fu there, and before she reached the embroidery building, she saw Da Ya and Er Ya playing outside and Li Yao making clothes inside the embroidery building.
"Fifth Aunt!" When Da Ya and Er Ya saw He Yunxi, they put down the stones in their hands and ran towards her.
"Da Ya Er Ya, what are you playing at?" He Yunxi asked.
"We are writing." Erya said, "Fifth Aunt, when did you come back?"
"I arrived at the county seat this morning." He Yunxi said, "Where is your mother?"
"Mom is making clothes inside!" Da Ya said.
Li Yao came out and was surprised to see He Yunxi: "Yunxi, when did you come back?"
"I came back from Liaocheng a few days ago." He Yunxi said, "Didn't you go back two days ago?"
Her brother-in-law was admitted to Tongsheng, and her family would probably inform her so that she would know that she was going back.
Moreover, Mrs. Liu and the others have been back for so many days, Mrs. Liu will definitely send someone to inform her that she can continue to learn embroidery.
"No." Li Yao said, "I went to the Zhang family's village a few days ago to make clothes for the old lady of the Zhang family. I just came back this morning."
"The Zhang family? The richest man in our Yanjiang County?"
"Yes. Miss Zhang made clothes here before and she thought they looked good, so she wanted me to make clothes for the old lady of the Zhang family. But their old lady has been living in the village and needs me to go there in person. The labor fee they gave is very high
"Gao, just for one visit, if the old lady can be chosen to work there, I will pay ten taels of silver for the work. I saw that the money was so high, so I went." Li Yao said.
"How dare you go alone?" He Yunxi said.
"I was also afraid. When I closed the shop, I went to Luji Condiment Shop and told the shopkeeper that I had gone to Zhangjiazhuangzi." Li Yao said, "Miss Zhangjia's maid is with me. If
If you want to harm me or something, you have to think about it, right?"
"Sister, you are so happy. Did you make money on this trip?"
"Yes, the labor fee was ten taels of silver, and then Mrs. Zhang made two clothes worth ten taels of silver. The fabric was paid by them, so in total, she earned thirty taels of silver." Li Yao was very happy, except for the money spent.
Her time and energy are equivalent to nothing else.
I made thirty taels of silver in one trip, which I had never dared to think about before.
"Sister is so awesome!" He Yunxi praised.
Li Yao was a little embarrassed and said, "It's also good luck that I met a spendthrift family like the Zhang family. If it were an ordinary family, how could they be willing to spend thirty taels to make two sets of clothes."
"Our embroidery house does not serve ordinary people." He Yunxi said with a smile, "There are many rich people in this world, and what we earn is the money of those rich people. When you go to a wider place in the future, you will know
, there are still many people who spend money to buy beauty.”
"If there is a chance in the future, I would really like to go out and take a look." This incident seemed to have opened the door to a new world for Li Yao, making her interested in going outside.
"Since you weren't here before, you probably don't know what's going on at home." He Yunxi said, "My uncle passed the Tongsheng exam. Someone from home should have told you, but you might not be here."
"No wonder the people next door told me as soon as I came back that my dad was here before. But he didn't say anything. I plan to go back tomorrow!" Li Yao said happily, "My uncle passed the Tongsheng test. It's really great.
alright!"
"I will send someone back tomorrow, and you can go back with me then." He Yunxi said, "My husband has won the title of scholar, and my mother and I plan to invite him to have a meal to celebrate. You can go back together, and we can come over together then."
"Ah, Lu Yanzhong is a scholar? Did you say that when the firecrackers were set off over there just now?" Li Yao was even more excited than before.
The fifth sister's husband won the title of scholar, and she will be a scholar's wife from now on!
He Yunxi sat here for a while and looked at the embroidery building's business accounts before going back.
Lu Yan came back in the evening and said that except Liu Feng, everyone else had passed the examination. Yu Shaoyu ranked seventh, Huang Yumin ranked fifteenth, and the other rankings were worse, but they were all in the top fifty.
According to Master's suggestion, he, Yu Shaoyu and Huang Yumin were advised to take the provincial examination this year. The other people's basic skills were not as good and they could wait a year or two before taking the examination again.
"Master said that he has time the next day. He will go to Huang Yumin's house tomorrow."
"Won't Yu Shaoyu invite you?" He Yunxi asked.
"Yu Shaoyu's home is in Luohe Mansion. It's too far away, so I don't plan to do it."
"Yu Shaoyu is still from Fucheng?"
"Um."
"Then is he in the academy? Do you want to invite him to come with you in the future?"
"No need to invite me, he happens to be at Master's place as well. He knew he was going to treat us the next day, so he already volunteered to come," Lu Yan said.
"What about Huang Yumin?"
"He has something to do the next day, so there's no need to invite him."
"Okay, I understand." He Yunxi said, "I will send someone to tell Grandpa and the others tomorrow. I plan to go to the workshop first to have a look."
"Okay. By the way, the seven medical women will be able to arrive tomorrow morning. Can you just let them go to the workshop outside the city?"
