Chapter 81 Talking

The reason why the miracle doctor arranged for him to get married in the village was because the Fang family was kind.

But it was quite unreal to see his little apprentice actually getting married and having a child. In his heart, his good apprentice was still the little brother who hadn't grown up yet.

The other party Shujing was very picky. Old Man Liu asked, "Did he bully you?"

"No." He didn't know if it was Fang Shujing's joke that distracted him, but he was afraid that the master would break them up, so he was busy Said: "He is very kind to me. It is his help to find you this time."

Old Liu said, he didn't bully his apprentice, he just bullied him as an old man. He didn't want to be found...

But when he saw His little apprentice said: "Okay." Now that he's here, he'll settle down. Fang Shujing said: "It's almost time to eat, please cook some food."

Liu Yechen felt a little uneasy, and Fang Shujing still had seven The imperial examination took place in eight days, and he did all the cooking at home, saying, "Let me do it. Master, you must have missed the egg custard I made these days." This was a dish he often cooked for his master in the past. Old Man Liu glanced at his little apprentice with hatred. He was fine before, but why did he start to protect him after they got married? He

said, "I just want to taste the food cooked by my apprentice."

Little Hawthorn made a sound. He is a very smart child and he also noticed that something was not right in the atmosphere.

Fang Shujing said, "Okay, what kind of food do you want to eat."

Seeing that he agreed, Old Liu stroked his beard and said, "I'm not a picky eater, I'll eat everything."

Fang Shujing went to the kitchen, his kitchen It's still brand new, and the big iron pot has never been used even once.

But the kitchen is full of bacon, sausages, various salted fish, dried vegetables and a little rooster. These were all brought by these patients when they came here. The eggs were piled up in a basket that couldn't fit in. The weather is so hot now, and the eggs will go bad if they are not eaten.

Find a small casserole and plan to make tea eggs later.

Fang Shujing made another braised chicken. He often used this kind of large iron pot to cook in his hometown, and he was very familiar with it.

Old Man Liu was very curious as he held the little hawthorn. The little boy was soft and very much like Liu Yechen, and he was not afraid of people.

I feel very sad that during the time he was gone, all his disciples gave birth to children.

When Liu Yechen told him about Fang Shujing's life experience and their fate when they were young, Old Liu was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns behind the marriage. Fang Shujing actually has such a character and is able to smile at life after going through so many hardships, which is amazing.

He acted as a matchmaker by mistake and made his apprentice particularly satisfied.

Old Man Liu's heart rang with alarm bells, and he said: "Chenchen, if he bullies you, tell Master. Master has many ways to deal with him." Since ancient times, medicine and poison have not been separated, and he has studied these things deeply. Anyway, he couldn't let his only apprentice be bullied.

Liu Yechen said angrily: "But if he bullies me, where will I find you?"

Hearing this, Old Man Liu said sarcastically: "I was wrong, I will tell you next time."

Liu Yechen stared with round eyes . : "Next time?"

Before Old Man Liu could speak, he heard cooking coming from the kitchen, and the sound of meat being lowered into the oil pan stirred up bursts of fragrance.

Even though Old Man Liu has great medical skills, his life is in a mess. He still can't cook. Basically, they all rely on dry food or going to the patients for meals.

After a while, everyone knew that he didn't like cooking, so they all took the initiative to ask him to come over and eat.

Old man Liu said to Liu Yechen: "It smells so good." Country people are reluctant to add oil when cooking, and the soup they cook is clear and watery. Fang Shujing sauteed onions, ginger and garlic until fragrant, then added chicken pieces and stir-fried sugar, then added water and simmered slowly. After finishing this, he made tea eggs. Basically, he cooked most of his eggs, and the fragrance of tea eggs was also Very charming. In the middle of cooking, crack the shells of the eggs so that the brine can flow in and absorb the flavor.

Old Man Liu was really greedy after smelling it.

He didn't bother to reminisce with his young apprentice, so he went in to watch Fang Shujing braise more than seventy eggs in a pot. The lids of the casseroles couldn't even be closed, they were all piled there, and a small fire was burning underneath.

Liu Yechen said: "Why do you make so many?"

Fang Shujing said: "If you don't make it, it will be ruined..."

Old man Liu has never eaten anything except for treating wealthy people and having a few good meals. Such fragrant stuff.

Eggs can still produce this flavor. Old Man Liu said: "Let me taste it." After saying that, he didn't think it was too hot, so he took one out with a spoon and put it in a bowl. When peeling the skin, he pinched his ears to cool down. I tasted it, it was really hot, and it was really delicious...

It was not that salty, and when I ate it, it just had a light tea flavor in it.

Old Man Liu asked, "Have you used all that bag of tea?" It was tea given to him by a fellow villager who he kept for himself. He was reluctant to drink it and put it in the kitchen.

Fang Shujing smiled harmlessly and said, "I used half a pack."

Liu Yechen saw that the husband had a sinister look on his face.

Old Man Liu felt a little distressed when he heard this. He used half a bag of good tea at once, no wonder it tasted so good. In addition to what he used, there was a whole basket of eggs, and he said, "Let's marinate the rest." So much tea cannot be wasted.

"Have you finished eating?" Liu Yechen asked.

Old Man Liu said: "Go find a basin, fish out all the tea eggs, and let's give them to the villagers." This can be regarded as taking something from the people and using it for the people in disguise. He also gave to the village when he came to this village. People cause trouble.

Liu Yechen agreed, knowing that the village is a humane society, and courtesy is the most important thing.

But after going out, Liu Yechen realized that he had thought too little. His master was not there to give away endless eggs, but to show off. Although he didn't want to see him, after all, they had been dependent on each other for so many years and still kissed each other. Old man Liu held the little one in his arms. Hawthorn, let Liu Yechen hold the tea egg basin and distribute the tea eggs in the busiest place in the village.

"This is my young apprentice. He is already married."

"My apprentice is a boy. Look how beautiful he is."

"My apprentice is cooking at home."

Tea eggs are not available in the village, so the family only raises a few chickens. , I couldn't bear to eat and kept it in exchange for money. Not to mention wasting so much tea and soy sauce.

Now seeing the old doctor coming out to distribute the food, everyone was beaming: "You have an apprentice, he's really good-looking."

"Young disciple is also good-looking,"

"Your apprentice-in-law cooks himself? That's really filial to you,"

he said . They were all nice words, and Old Man Liu was very happy to hear them. In less than a day, everyone would know that he had a beautiful little apprentice and a cute little grandson.

Liu Yechen blushed a little and said: "Master has finished giving out."

Old man Liu said: "So many, have you finished giving out?" It was a pity that he hadn't heard enough compliments, so he had to regret and said: "Then let's go back."

Replied When I got home, I saw the food on the table. The braised chicken was bright red in color and exuding fragrance. I also fried a handful of green vegetables, made some egg drop soup, and cooked a cucumber.

Old Man Liu's kitchen has everything, but if he doesn't cook it, many of the dishes are spoiled. Fang Shujing not only made these but also cleaned up the bad dishes. Now the kitchen is tidy again.

They started to eat. At first, Old Man Liu wanted to maintain his master's temperament, but the food changed as soon as it entered his mouth, and he ate faster and faster. He hadn't eaten such delicious food in a long time, and he suddenly wanted to eat more.

Liu Yechen looked on from the side and said, "Master, you should eat more slowly as you get older. You won't digest it if you eat it so fast."

Old man Liu didn't expect that Fang Shujing didn't look like a handsome young man who knew how to cook. The level of cooking is so high. He doesn't even care about his image when he eats.

It was almost dark after dinner. They have been here for a long time, but everyone present was so excited that time passed quickly without them noticing.

Fang Shujing saw that his wife was still looking at Old Man Liu reluctantly, and knew that they had been in a relationship for many years. Although they were master and apprentice, they had the same affection as father and son. After not seeing each other for such a long time, she must have a lot to say, "How about you tonight?" Stay here with your master."

After hearing this, Liu Yechen said, "Where is the child?"

Fang Shujing said, "The child is coming home with me. He hasn't eaten yet. I want to cook him some rice noodles. "

Liu Yechen looked at the child and then at the master. He couldn't bear to leave. He finally found the master. He was afraid that the master would leave again when he turned around. But the little hawthorn never left him since he was born. He said he would leave the child. I was also flustered for a while.

Finally, he weighed it up and said: "I'll stay."

Fang Shujing said: "Well, don't worry about the child being with me." In the past, two people took care of him, but now he is alone, and he is still a little nervous, thinking that he will not sleep in the worst case. Well, I have to take care of the little cub anyway.

As soon as Fang Shujing left, Liu Yechen watched him leave until he was far away.

Old man Liu looked at Liu Yechen's reluctant look and felt sour in his heart: "Disciple, everyone has disappeared..."

...

Fang Shujing held the child and walked for a while before finding the carriage back to the city, all the way home. By then it was already dark.

Li Laoyuan saw a figure at the door of his house. When he walked in, he realized it was Shuanzi: "Why are you here?"

Shuanzi stood outside for almost two hours, and finally waited until Fang Shujing came back. He couldn't care less at the moment. He complained, his face full of excitement, but it was obscured by the night.

Shuanzi said, "Come into the house and talk."

Fang Shujing got the people into the house and the children were hungry. They were humming when they were on the carriage just now. The first thing he did when he came in was to take out the small pot for the child and boil some rice cereal. Soon the aroma of the rice spread. The two new fathers were usually very attentive to his meals, so he cooked them before he was hungry. The food is ready. This time, they found Liu Yechen's master. They were so happy. He didn't take it into consideration, but as a result, Xiao Haw's meal time was delayed by a full hour than usual, and the child was starving.

Rice porridge is easy to cook. You can tell the child is anxious when he screams. But the hot rice cereal still had to cool down, so I had no choice but to fold it from one bowl to another and let it cool down.

Shuan Zi had obviously eaten, but it had been digested after standing outside for so long. Now he could smell the smell of rice cereal and his stomach rumbled.

Fang Shujing said: "I'll serve you a bowl later."

Shuanzi's cheeks flushed: "No need." How could he snatch something from a child.

Fang Shujing said: "It doesn't matter, I made a little more."

Fang Shujing served it to him. The adult is not afraid of burning it, just blow it with your mouth and eat it. Although this rice cereal doesn't have any condiments, it tastes delicious.

After finishing the Shuanzi, Fang Shujing reluctantly tossed the rice cereal until it was warm enough to eat, holding the little hawthorn in his arms. The little hawthorn eats very quickly. He didn't worry about eating before, but it seemed that he was really hungry today.

Fang Shujing fed him a whole bowl, and the little guy ate it all. After eating, Fang Shujing found a clean handkerchief and wiped Zaizi's mouth. The little guy felt a little sleepy after being held after eating. Fang Shujing asked Shuanzi while holding the child.

Shuanzi reported the performance to Fang Shujing: "Sold for one hundred and thirty taels of silver." He counted it several times and couldn't believe it. There are still so many goods left, so we can make money properly: "One hundred and eleven taels of silver can be accounted for, and the remaining twenty taels were bought in pieces. There were too many people and I didn't write them down."

To collect the accounts. He came to Fang Shujing to find out about this matter. I need to buy more goods tomorrow, especially brown sugar and the like. Basically everyone bought the first one that sold out today.

Fang Shujing said: "Take the money back and use it to purchase goods tomorrow. The accounts will be done another day. You can go back to sleep." He really didn't expect that he could sell so well after leaving. They have to go to the wholesale market very early. Now that they know where to pick up the goods, they can go there this time. But it's getting late outside, so he has to go back to bed early or he won't be able to get up. He didn't sleep last night and now his steps are slow. Floated. I was too busy collecting the accounts for a while, so I decided to do it together another day.

Shuanzi was indeed a little sleepy after eating the rice cereal. Seeing what Fang Shujing said, he was afraid of missing the important matter of picking up the goods tomorrow, so he said, "Then I'll go back."

"Yeah."

He waited until Shuanzi walked out. I thought about why I didn't see Liu Yechen. But his sleepy brain was almost turning into mush, and he couldn't think about it that much.

Little Haw had already fallen asleep in Fang Shujing's arms. Fang Shujing kissed his son's cheek and put him on the bed. He whispered, "We are the only ones here today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hearing the sound of the door, I thought it was the bolt returning, but as soon as the door opened, it was Liu Yechen who came in. He came back at full speed and ran back from the entrance of the alley. He was still panting slightly. Fang Shujing smiled when he saw him coming back and said, "Why are you back?"

"Master asked me to come back." He He came over and took a look: "Is the child asleep?" He was relieved when he saw the little hawthorn sleeping. He said: "Master made a promise with me not to leave." When leaving, he ignored the words of Master: Brother, I am too old to stay!

Fang Shujing was also happy to see him back, so she hugged him and happily nibbled the back of his neck.

Liu Yechen said: "What are you doing?"

"I can't sleep unless you come back."

Liu Yechen said with some secret joy: "Then you can sleep now."

"I won't sleep anymore." Then Liu Yechen attached to Liu Yechen Chen said something in his ear.

Under the candlelight, Liu Yechen blushed and scolded him: "Dirty."

Chapter 82 Dark belly

When Fang Shujing woke up early the next day, Liu Yechen was still sleeping in his arms. He carefully moved his body, stood up and lit a small candle. Then his son in the baby bed was woken up by the light and groaned. Twice.

Fang Shujing hugged the little hawthorn and coaxed it, and then placed it in Liu Yechen's arms. Fang Shujing kissed his wife gently, and said in his ear: "Leave the child to you, Shuanzi and I will go out." The goods are in stock."

Liu Yechen was tormented so late last night that he hummed in half sleep and continued to sleep with his son in his arms. The little guy was quite honest in his arms.

Fang Shujing just went out. Shuanzi was already waiting in his yard. He was still immersed in the excitement of selling goods like yesterday. When he saw Fang Shujing, he said, "Let's go quickly. We need to be more prepared today." Goods."

Fang Shujing asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"It was okay." He was very nervous as a shopkeeper for the first time. Afraid of embarrassing Fang Shujing.

They went to the wholesale market early and went straight to the place where they bought brown sugar that day. This time they bought a total of three hundred kilograms of brown sugar. Brown sugar is cheap in summer, but because it cannot be stored well, most people don't pick it up like this. When the boss saw that he picked up a lot, he gave him ten pounds of rock sugar as a topping. He made small profits but quick turnover and sold them directly without hoarding them.

I picked up some dried fish and other things. I didn't dare to take too many things when I opened the business before, but now I'm more generous than before. In addition, they came early, and they bought so much for the wholesale market. When people opened the shop, they all asked where he opened his shop and tried to lure him to pick up the goods at his home.

They bought a lot of things and then went back and asked the bag bearer to put them on the ox cart. While waiting for the truck to be unloaded, many people who had not bought it yesterday heard the news and came over early to buy it.

"Don't worry, there is plenty of goods." Shuanzi looked at the three hundred kilograms of brown sugar with confidence.

I also bought some dried dates today, which can be stored for a long time as long as they are stored properly. And the price is not expensive. This thing is sold next to brown sugar.

Several other guys quickly helped unload the goods.

Fang Shujing went to the second floor and found a clean place and a table to collect the bills. Shuanzi also specifically told him what was on the ghost talisman, and his face turned red when he told him.

It is really shameful to do this in front of scholars.

Fang Shujing said: "Okay, I understand, you can go work outside." He started to write, and then the voice in the store on the first floor gradually started to get louder.

The person running at the front was actually the person who bought ten dried fish yesterday and brought his relatives to buy them: "It's his house. I bought it here yesterday. It's not expensive and the fish is very dry. I eat it often at home. I plan to stock up on more." You can just buy some here. After I mixed it yesterday, they didn't eat enough... I have bought dried fish many times and theirs is the best. "She is so smart. If she had come early, she could have done it first. Choose a wave. So she came as soon as the goods were unloaded.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people around, the guys started packing millet, two to one bag, and packed almost fifty or sixty bags.

Shuanzi said to his aunt: "There are too many people here today. You can leave an address here and we will go over to deliver the goods when we have free time. If you don't want us to deliver the goods, the store can give you two taels of millet.

" The aunt said: " There is no need for delivery, our house is only a few steps away... Let's go for Xiaomi. "It's better here. They sell and give away. I bought ten large fish fillets here. The people accompanying me also bought ten fish fillets and some red dates and brown sugar. The braised peanuts here are not bad. It's so delicious when you take it home and eat it with salt water. It's only six cents a pound and it's cheaper than what's sold outside.

I couldn't help but buy three pounds of it

right after it opened . Come over, and then the sun gradually rises. There are not only a lot of people in Fang's grocery store, but also more people. People also start to get crowded. The long-lost excitement of Shuanzi and the other clerks surges up again. Fortunately, they have experienced Yesterday's transaction was something like this.

It was better to be busy, as time passed quickly. Last time, many people couldn't keep up with the accounts. This time, Fang Shujing

recorded everything he made.

It was already noon when I checked the account book, and no one was so busy anymore. I sold more than 200 kilograms of brown sugar, and all the dried dates were sold out.

Fang Shujing then showed Shuanzi the account book and taught him. How should he keep accounts before going back?

When he got home, the child and Liu Yechen were not at home. When Fang Shujing thought that they were probably at the master's place, he hired a car and went to the village. When he went over, he saw Old Man Liu holding him in his arms. They were playing with their little hawthorn there.

"Master, where is Liu'er?

"I'm cooking at home. " " Old Man Liu said.

Little Hawthorn was also very friendly to Old Man Liu, and he didn't cry when he was hugged. But when he saw Fang Shujing, the little guy's eyes lit up: "Ah..." The milky voice wanted Fang Shujing to Just hug him.

As soon as Fang Shujing stretched out his hand, the little guy leaned over hard.

Old Liu hadn't hugged him enough yet. He looked at the little hawthorn and kissed his father, and reluctantly handed the child to Fang. Shu Jing.

Even if Old Man Liu didn't want to admit it, he was still a serious apprentice. When Liu Yechen said that he had many matchmakers and six beauties when he got married, he quickly admitted him: "You stewed the chicken yesterday. It's quite delicious. "This is the first time he has such delicious food in the village.

The chicken is delicious and tender, and you can even eat several more bowls of rice. Yesterday, everyone ate less, and there was only one bowl of chicken left. Today he warmed up and had another meal.

At noon, the little apprentice went over to steam egg custard. It was better to have the apprentice by his side.

Fang Shujing thought with satisfaction: "Let's change it today. Make a steamed dish. "His family also has quite a lot of bacon and sausages.

Old Man Liu nodded repeatedly, and they young people are still good at eating.

Fang Shujing handed the small hawthorn to Old Man Liu again and said, "Master, look at my son. Is it suitable to study medicine? "

Old Liu looked down. The little guy's face was as pink as a dumpling, and his beautiful round eyes were exactly the same as Liu Yechen's when he was a child. He said casually: "Suitable. "

Fang Shujing also heard Liu Yechen say how powerful his master was, and he was even a few years older than Fang's father. He said, "Then let my little hawthorn continue to study medicine, and now he will be enlightened. Old man Liu

looked at the soft little baby in his arms with a confused look on his face. He said: "It's too... too small." "What can this child know?"

Fang Shujing said: "If you think it's okay, we will settle this matter and don't leave. You are Liu Yechen's master and my master. We will provide for you in your old age." ! "

Old Liu was startled when he heard what he said. He didn't expect that Fang Shujing was waiting for him here. It was naturally good for his disciple-in-law to say this, but...

Old Liu said vaguely: "Let's talk about it later. Then he said: "I'm not like other old men. I can eat at least two kilograms of meat a day!" "If you say this in front of other people in the village, you have to give him a few words. No one has gold and silver, and how can they have such food? This is not eating an enemy.

" Fang Shujing said: "No matter how much you eat, I will support you ." Affordable. Old man Liu hugged the child and said, "

Since your father asked you to study medicine, don't blame me when you are tired and suffering in the future. It's all your father's bad idea." "Studying medicine is very hard. You have to memorize herbal medicines and classic prescriptions. You may not be able to become a doctor after more than ten years. There is no end to learning in this profession, and you will not be better off than others after you learn it. There are not many people who can really do this." Inherited by children.

Little Haw's round eyes looked over, and there was a bit of confusion in his clear eyes.

When Liu Yechen came out and saw Fang Shu cleansing the child, he was happy on the spot, with a bit of playfulness on his face. With a smile: "You've finished your work and it's time to have dinner together. "

As soon as Fang Shujing stretched out his hand, Liu Yechen forgot about his master and hugged Fang Shujing directly.

I heard Old Man Liu cough dryly next to him.

Liu Yechen immediately retracted his hand as if he had made a mistake, his face turned a little red, and said: "Master, I...I'll go cook first."

Fang Shujing said: "I'll go, you have a rest. "After all, he was tired yesterday. It was hard to say this, but Liu Yechen understood it instantly, and his cheeks turned red on the spot.

Fang Shujing continued: "Master said that he will teach our little hawthorn medical skills in the future."

Liu Yechen was pleasantly surprised, and turned around and asked the master: "Really?" His master's medical skills are unfathomable, and he has only learned one. Fur alone can cure many diseases. However, there are rules in medical skills that one cannot pass on the mantle to an elder brother. Could it be that his little hawthorn was lucky enough to receive the inheritance from his master.

Old Man Liu looked at his disciple's excited eyes and said, "I still have to see if he is the right one." Not refusing directly was equivalent to agreeing.

Fang Shujing continued: "In the future, we will support the master in his old age. The master will never leave..."

Old Liu's eyes were horrified: "I didn't say anything." This disciple-in-law is so despicable. Although he is very moved, he is still thinking about it.

Liu Yechen said: "Master, don't you want to live with us? You are old and you are tired of raising me. How can I let you raise little hawthorn anymore? Just live with us."

Old Man Liu When his beloved disciple got involved, when did he say he wanted to raise the little hawthorn? Probably because he had bad reputation with his young apprentice before leaving without saying goodbye. Whenever he wanted to refute Liu Yechen, he would look at him with red eyes, which made him extremely stressed. After all, Liu Yechen was the child he raised.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and agreed.

It was really unexpected that Fang Shujing got caught in it. It's hard to explain now. Seeing Fang Shujing go in to cook, he secretly pulled his little apprentice aside and said, "You, when will you be able to be half as smart as someone else?" I was really afraid that his little apprentice, whose heart was tied to this person, would get hurt...

Liu Yechen tugged on his clothes and said, "I'm okay."

Old Liu snorted. It was okay before he was with Fang Shujing, but when he saw Fang Shujing, he forgot all about his reserve. The look in his eyes It's full of love, and outsiders can see it.

From the perspective of an old doctor like him, his beloved disciple was hopeless.

Chapter 83 Finish the exam

Fang Shujing cooked some steamed vegetables for lunch, especially the chili bacon. Old man Liu enjoyed it and basically ate all the vegetables.

After eating, Old Man Liu took the little hawthorn to the pharmacy while he was free. He said he wanted to teach him how to recognize medicine, but in fact he just went to the pharmacy to play around with the little hawthorn.

Liu Yechen is usually very generous and sensible, but in front of Old Man Liu, he acts like a child, acting coquettishly and so on.

Old Man Liu couldn't do anything to him.

Fang Shujing was watching the excitement, mostly looking at Liu Yechen, and was happy to see him so happy.

The two came here during the day and returned to the county town at night to report here every day. Now everyone in the village knows that the old doctor has a filial apprentice.

On a whim, Old Man Liu would ask Liu Yechen to diagnose his pulse and explain his conclusions and medication methods. Fortunately, Liu Yechen had solid basic skills and kept reading his notes and manuscripts after the master left, so he managed to pass the test.

Suddenly, Fang Shujing was about to take the exam. Too many things happened to him during these days. His daughter-in-law gave birth prematurely. He took care of his son. He came to the provincial capital to find Old Man Liu and opened a shop. He had no time to read at all.

Fang Shujing was not sure about the exam either, and was a little bit overwhelmed. The best one who can pass the exam will take the exam again in three years if he fails...

Before the exam, Liu Lin went to a tea room to drink tea with Fang Shujing, with a sad look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Fang Shujing asked.

Liu Lindao: "If you don't pass the exam this year, the questions in the future will be difficult. I heard that it will be a Plum Blossom Examination in the future. There may be questions from the Four Books and Five Classics, or there may be miscellaneous questions." There is not even a scope. Review, this news was known to a relative of Chen Laoshi. The source of the information that his relative was a servant of the prefect's family was very reliable. Ever since he heard the news, his mentality collapsed.

Originally, they were not in a state of reading and studying this time. They were still young and thought that if they failed to pass the exam this time, they would wait to take the exam again. But ever since I learned that I had to change the way I took the exam next time, I started to feel stressed. It would be great if I could pass the exam in one go. This kind of pressure makes people even more nervous.

I can hardly stay in the house anymore. I have been suffering from insomnia for several days. Seeing that there is an exam tomorrow, I am almost restless today. I want to find someone to chat with, but from a glance, everyone is about the same. It seems that I just went to see Shang Shujing. If it weren't for the exam tomorrow, I would have had some wine today to enjoy myself.

Even the refreshing tea soup can't relieve the current anxiety.

Fang Shujing said: "At this point, we can only use tricks. I believe that what I have learned on weekdays may not be so bad." The imperial examination not only tests whether they study hard, but also tempers their mentality. In the past, at Shanlin Academy When I was a kid, I heard many times that some people usually do well in studies but get nervous and perform abnormally every time when it comes to exams. They also laughed at them. As a result, the joke about people being inferior to others suddenly came true for me.

Liu Lin was extremely anxious at first, but after talking a lot with Fang Shujing, he gradually calmed down and said, "Yes, after studying for so many years, it's time to go to the examination room and test it out."

Fang Shujing chuckled . He said: "That's right. Don't forget that you are a student in Class A of Shanlin Academy." People who don't have this talent can't get in even if they want to.

Liu Lin let out a heavy breath, and his previous confidence came back again. Said: "The most correct thing to do today is to ask you out for tea, otherwise I'm afraid I will feel uncomfortable for another day." Then he was still a little curious, Fang Shujing seemed to have always had a good attitude, knowing him I haven't seen him anxious for so long, so I just said this.

Fang Shujing smiled. It's really hard to explain. Not everyone has the opportunity to be reborn like him. After all, he is a person who lives a new life, and everything else is trivial compared to life and death. What's more, God has been kind to him. He has a wife he likes in this life and a lively and lovely son. It's already worth it. As for those false reputations, they are like icing on the cake. It's best to have them. It would be better if he didn't have them. Nothing to regret.

After thinking about it, he said to Liu Lin: "I am originally a child from the countryside. Even though I failed to pass the exam, I still have the reputation of being a scholar. It will be enough for me to be a teacher in the village." By then, his wife can open a medical clinic. At that time, the two of them could be regarded as teaching and educating people, and helping the world with a hanging pot, enough to have enough food and clothing.

When Liu Lin heard this, he smiled: "I'm a little yearning for what you said. In fact, you're right. Even if you don't pass the exam, it's not a big deal."

"Yeah."

Liu Lin said, "You are originally He only became so open-minded after getting married. "

After getting married,"

Liu Lin said with emotion, "The first thing I will do when I go back is to ask my mother to arrange a marriage for me." He is considered to be older and unmarried. He used to be a little afraid when it came to getting married, but when he saw the fairy life that Fang Shujing and the others lived, this fear magically disappeared.

...

On the day of the exam, Liu Yechen prepared dry food in advance and filled a small portion of pickles, which should not go bad in three days. He had heard before that the imperial examination was very scary. Some people couldn't stand the pressure of the imperial examination and went crazy after entering it.

Liu Yechen carried the things and accompanied Fang Shujing to the examination room. Fang Shujing whispered in his ear: "Thank you, madam." It was still the familiar teasing.

Liu Yechen looked at him and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't pass the exam, I'll support you." He also had money in his hands now, more than three hundred taels of silver. He mustered up the courage to say this, but he felt a little embarrassed after saying it.

Fang Shujing smiled and said, "Okay."

Liu Yechen hugged his son, waved Little Haw's little arm, and said, "My son and I are waiting for you at home." He said solemnly.

Fang Shujing hugged them both and said, "Okay."

Then he lined up and waited to get in. The provincial exam was not as strict as others, and there were actually people hiding in front of them, and several of them were basically dragged out.

Every time he is found out, not only will the sponsor be implicated, but he will also be banned from taking exams for ten years.

But in every exam, there are people who take chances. As everyone knows, with their little courage and hiding skills, every one of them is caught and no fish escapes the net.

"I was wrong, sir. Please give me a chance."

"I am obsessed with it. I don't dare to do it anymore."

"Someone harmed me. This thing was hidden by someone else. Yes... it must be like this. "

Some panicked, and some even cried and begged, but it was useless to say anything.

After doing this, everyone's emotions became tense, and there were too many people caught cheating in the imperial examination this year. Could it be that someone leaked the questions? The rest of the scholars were already nervous and suspicious and wanted to communicate with everyone. They heard the yamen officer in front of them say: "No one is allowed to speak. Anyone who violates will be expelled from the examination room." As soon as he finished speaking, the rest of the students did not dare to speak. After ten years of studying hard in a cold window, you can't commit such a trivial matter. If you piss off the government officials, you have to wait three years to take the exam again.

Soon Fang Shujing entered the examination room. He was lucky enough to be sitting next to the door. It was cooler here. It was midsummer in August now, so it was okay to be close to the door. The closer you went inside, the hotter it became, and your hands tended to sweat easily. If you soil the paper, you will definitely not be admitted.

Soon an official came in to invigilate the exam and explained the key points of the exam, and soon the test papers were handed out.

Fang Shujing was used to reading all the questions. The previous ones were quite satisfactory. The more this type of question, the more dangerous it is. Everyone has received similar knowledge. If you can't stand out, you will lose. The following discussion talks about how to govern a county.

Fang Shujing was stunned after reading it. He had done this kind of question before, and he had done it more than once. His previous answers covered all aspects of managing a county. He had not reviewed it this year, so he was prepared to fail, but this question seemed to be prepared for him. , hit him directly in his arms.

I heard the mountain chief and Mr. Luo say before that it is understandable that today's Holy Lord is a practical person. A country as big as this is built with a small county. Only if you can manage a county well can you manage a province or a country well.

He had answered many similar papers before, but he didn't know if it was now more clear to him. This was the emperor's selection of officials, not an ordinary test.

Fang Shujing calmed down and started writing.

He writes articles quickly, and he can check them again after writing...

For three days, Fang Shujing has adapted well, and the exam position is good. Normally, he shouldn't suffer anything, but three days is still a bit too much. , everyone is separated in a small room, and the weather in August is hot and dry. All kinds of flavors rise, not to mention how sour and refreshing it is. After three days, I finally came out. I couldn't move my legs or stretch my waist in a narrow place for three days. It was very uncomfortable. When I came out, my steps were already floating.

Finally after the exam, when he came out, he saw Liu Yechen holding the little hawthorn waiting outside. Liu Yechen came to greet him when he saw him, but as soon as he approached, the little hawthorn looked disgusted and yelled.

Just when Fang Shujing wanted to hold the child, the little guy hadn't seen his biological father for three days. I was still very excited when I saw it from a distance. But it's like this when you walk in.

Fang Shujing said: "I'd better go back and take a shower first." The smell inside was too complex, and his son was purified by Lingquan pills, so his five senses were so sensitive that he couldn't stand the smell.

After returning home, Fang Shujing took a shower, changed out of his clothes, and washed his hair thoroughly. Finally, the smell of the exam was dissipated, leaving him with the fragrance of soap locust.

Little Hawthorn liked to be clean, so he stretched out his hand to hug her. Fang Shujing said, "If you don't hug me, why did you dislike me before?"

"Ah..." Little Hawthorn hummed in a milky voice, waiting for Fang Shujing to look at it. When he came over, he blinked again, pouted, and used all the tricks that a kid knows to coax adults.

It was so cute that Fang Shujing couldn't help but pick up the child. This kid was so good at acting like a baby, I don't know who he learned it from.

Chapter 84: Confrontation

Xiao Hawthorn and Liu Yechen ran to Master every day, and Fang Shujing was fine now that he had finished the exam.

When Liu Yechen took the child away, he told him to sleep more. He would not be able to recover from the suffering he suffered in the examination room for a while.

Fang Shujing slept at home until it was almost morning before getting up. He saw another piece of clothing on the bedside. It was a piece of cloth that his wife had bought before, and he had been measuring it. Unexpectedly, the item was actually finished. He didn't even know when his wife made it.

After putting it on, it really fit me very well. I wondered if Liu Yechen had made one for me.

After thinking for a while, he went out, he was going to find his wife. There are carriages in the city that leave regularly for the countryside. Fang Shujing used to take the main road, just a little detour. But today I was very excited to receive a gift made by my wife, and wanted to go out to find him as soon as possible.

As a result, he walked quickly on a small road but unexpectedly overheard the conversation between the two people: "Hey, my neighbor was beaten up while stealing chickens. He has sores all over his body and body, and his body is very weak recently. I went to a medical clinic to ask for medicine, and then I got a lot of money after prescribing the medicine."

The two neighbors were chatting in the courtyard of their house, and Fang Shujing was walking outside in the alley. What he heard was real with only a wall between them. .

"Really, so wicked?"

"Regardless of whether he is wicked or not, getting the money back is real... It's just not good at all. Several medical clinics in the city know about it. He wants to do more before he dies. I don't know how to get some money."

Fang Shujing walked quickly and took a carriage to the village. As soon as he entered the village, someone informed him and said: "Go quickly, there is someone making trouble at the hospital. "

People in the village saw the old doctor showing off his apprentices every day. Over time, everyone knew them.

"What's going on?" Fang Shujing felt a little anxious. There was no one useful in the library. Old man Liu is old and his son is too young. He is really afraid that his wife and the others will be bullied.

When I walked over, I found a thick-looking man, shouting: "You are still trying to save the world, even driving the patients out. I think you are just a charlatan. Take off the plaque that says you see the doctor as soon as possible. Don't The delay will kill people."

A group of villagers gathered outside.

Liu Yechen stood there with the child being held by Old Man Liu. The little hawthorns cried. The squealing sound was loud.

Old Man Liu said: "It's not that I don't want to show you, it's that the child doesn't want to see." He cried as soon as he got close to the baby. He had never seen his little disciple cry like this. Besides, there are many doctors, so if you don't want to look over here, go to someone else's. Who would have thought that this person actually looked menacing. After all, Old Man Liu had eaten more salt than anyone else had eaten, so he knew immediately that he was pretending to see a doctor to find trouble. Otherwise, how could the patient be willing to offend the doctor like this?

He lowered his head and glanced at the baby in his arms. He just didn't know how this little guy knew.

Fang Shujing said: "If I tell you I won't show it to you, just leave quickly." Come over and pick up the child. The little guy felt Fang Shujing's embrace, and then he slowly stopped crying, but pouted a little aggrievedly.

When they saw Fang Shujing coming, everyone seemed to have a backbone.

Although the person coming across from him was alone, he already looked like a gangster. If he became more fierce, his eyes would protrude outwards, making him look even more scary. He was afraid that if he stared at him again, his eyeballs would fall out and only a pair of eyes would fall out. Hole eyes.

"Why don't you give me medical treatment?"

Fang Shujing was about to cry again when he saw his son lowering his head. He quickly put his hand in front of his nose and said: "Because you stink, you are smearing my son..."

The face of the person looking for trouble on the other side turned red, and the embarrassment made him angry: "What did you say."

Liu Ye Chen didn't know why his son cried so hard when he got close to him. It turned out to be this.

Old Man Liu said: "I have been in the medical field for forty years, and I have seen a lot of people. People like you with a rotten body, as long as you dig out the carrion and take medicine, you may not have a chance of survival, but you run away He came here with the intention of blackmail. There is a cure for a broken body, but there is no cure for a broken heart. "

The person who came to cause trouble never expected that his illness would be revealed. It's amazing that the old doctor can see it with just his eyes. This must be such a high level of medical skill.

He was not like this from the beginning. He wanted to treat his illness well before, but the doctors first looked around and talked about some miscellaneous diseases. He was also asked to spend a lot of money on medicines that were not right for the patient. When he lifted up his clothes and saw the wounds oozing pus inside, everyone showed disgust and drove him away in anger. What should I be afraid of when I am already going to die? Evil comes from courage. It is very easy to get money from doctors in medical clinics. After tasting the sweetness, he no longer knows what fear is.

I'm addicted to it.

Unexpectedly, this old doctor could tell with just his eyes that who would want to die if he could live? His face immediately changed, and he no longer bared his teeth or glared. "Please save me, doctor."

"Get out..." Fang Shujing said. This kind of person is blaming and evil-minded. If he is saved, he will also harm those around him.

Suddenly one of the neighbors exclaimed: "It's him... Is he the one who blackmailed the medical clinic recently?"

"Shameless. The doctor tried so hard to save you, but you want to blackmail him?"

"What if every patient We are all the same as you, so how come there is a doctor to treat everyone? "

Everyone, you are talking to me, this person also knows that it is useless today. Even though he was reluctant, he could only give up. Turned and left.

Little Haw had just finished crying, hugging Fang Shujing's chest and lying on it as if he was tired from crying.

The little people looked very pitiful.

Liu Yechen touched his little chin with his hand and said, "What's wrong?"

Master Liu also wanted to know, "Why is little Hawthorn crying?"

Fang Shujing said, "His nose has been sharper than others since he was a child. He also likes to be clean. When I came out of the examination room, I had to take a shower before I could hold him."

Master Liu exclaimed: "What a genius." There are four subjects in Chinese medicine, of which hearing is also very important. He has such an excellent sense of smell at such a young age. If he cultivates it well, he will definitely become a great person over time.

Then he carried the little hawthorn and ran to the pharmacy: "I will take you to enlightenment."

Liu Yechen said: "Master, he is still young." Then he chased after him. He was afraid that the old man would make his son cry again when he got excited.

Old Man Liu said: "I will take him to the pharmacy to educate him and do nothing."

The two of them walked away while talking.

Leaving Fang Shujing where he was, seeing that it was almost noon, he planned to go to the kitchen to cook a few dishes to calm their shock.

Chapter 85 Forgot

Fang Shujing stewed fish maw chicken soup in the kitchen, fried a few vegetable dishes, and steamed a large pot of rice.

At noon, Fang Shujing put out the prepared meals without calling anyone, and they all gathered around.

"Wow, what did you cook today?" Old Liu is a delicious food, and he prefers the food cooked by Fang Shujing.

"Fish maw chicken." Fang Shujing said.

Old Man Liu smiled happily when he opened the casserole. This fish maw was given to me by the rich man in the city last time, and he wouldn't make it for fear of ruining it. Fortunately, I didn't make it before, so I have this dish today.

Fish maw is actually fish paste. It is dried and preserved from large fish and can be stored for a long time. It is not only delicious but also very good for the body. Many wealthy families along the coast stock up some for gifts or to enjoy at home.

The fish maw braised chicken is particularly bright, and the golden soup is a perfect combination of these two delicious things.

The little hawthorn also wanted to eat. He grunted for a long time and kicked his legs vigorously.

Liu Yechen had no choice but to hug him and say, "You can eat it when you grow teeth."

Fang Shujing reached out to take the child, and the little guy looked at him with round eyes. Fang Shujing touched the baby's face and said, "This child is getting fat. Feed him less in the future!" His belly was bulging, and he still wanted to eat every day.

"Ah..." Zaizainai looked at Fang Shujing fiercely. Fang Shujing flicked his cheek with his hand, and the little guy suddenly turned into a tear bag. He looked extremely pitiful with tears in his eyes.

Fang Shujing immediately took the child out. Liu Yechen couldn't let Liu Yechen see the child crying, otherwise he would be very distressed.

He found that the little hawthorn was very smart. He probably knew that his crying would attract a lot of attention, and he would shed tears when things didn't go his way. Fang Shujing would not spoil him. He was a boy, and he couldn't help crying all the time. He took him out and said, "Little hawthorn."

"Ah." Tears fell out when he responded.

Fang Shujing said: "You will become ugly when you cry. Little Hawthorn is a beautiful child, right? Beautiful children cannot cry all the time."

Little Hawthorn stopped crying and raised a flattering smile. , looking like he was joking with him just now.

Fang Shujing pinched the little guy's face. Sure enough, it felt warm and smooth to the touch.

Fang Shujing played for a while and took the child in.

The little guy stopped making noises for food and leaned obediently in Fang Shujing's arms.

Liu Yechen was surprised when he saw this: "He won't make trouble after you go out?"

Fang Shujing said with a harmless smile: "We had a heart-to-heart talk."

Liu Yechen looked at his husband and then looked at her again Look at Little Haw, such a small baby can't even sit still and can still have a heart-to-heart talk? Some don't understand.

This pepper chicken is very popular. Old man Liu likes it so much that he can't stop eating it. He ate most of the pot.

Liu Yechen didn't care to look at his son and said to the master: "Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."

Old man Liu ate so happily that he couldn't stop with the chopsticks in his hands as if he had consciousness.

After eating, he felt his stomach was very bloated, so he said to Liu Yechen: "Go to the pharmacy later and make some hawthorn pills. I have to digest them.

It's not that he is too greedy, but Fang Shujing's cooking is so delicious. It was not inferior to the level of restaurants outside, but I accidentally ate too much.

Fang Shujing said: "After dinner, let's take a walk around here.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yechen said: "Master, how about we open a small garden, and then we can grow some vegetables we want to eat. " "He missed the small vegetable garden in his hometown a little bit. There was really everything there, and it would grow even after picking. If you can't finish it, you can pickle it or dry it into dried vegetables.

Old man Liu said: "I'm not busy with this. Give it to me first. Take hawthorn pills. I can't move. "

Liu Yechen looked at the master and said silently for a long time: "You have eaten too much. "After saying that, he quickly accepted his fate and went to get hawthorn pills.

His little hawthorn really liked going to the pharmacy. When he saw Liu Yechen going there, he made preparations to go.

Fang Shujing said: "Don't make trouble, your father Xiaoliu is here . I'm working, so I don't have time to hug you and play with you. "

But Little Hawthorn insisted on following him, so Fang Shujing had no choice but to follow him to the pharmacy. Old Man Liu converted one of the rooms into a pharmacy. There were many medicine boxes for herbal medicines inside. Fang Shujing was amazed to see that Old Man Liu was there. After only three years of staying here, Liu Yechen collected the medicine and was about to make pills. Fang Shujing looked at it intently

: "Zizai will also treat diseases and save people in the future. OK? "Ah... "

Xiao Zaizai responded.

Fang Shujing played here with his son for a while. Liu Yechen said: "Stop playing here." "He didn't even have the heart to work.

Fang Shujing brought the little hawthorn over. The little hawthorn neatly pursed his lips and kissed Liu Yechen's cheek, and then took the child out.

The little hawthorn was very happy when he came out.

Fang Shujing said: "I'm happy now, Daddy Xiaoliu still smells good. "The little guy smiled shyly. When he saw Old Man Liu coming out, he reached out for him to hug him!

Old Man Liu's medical clinic is not open every day. His place is in a remote place, and those who can be found are basically those with serious illness. We can see him near home. After going around for a while and finding no cure

, a large number of severely ill patients have been cured. Now Old Man Liu is free and has no shortage of money to spend, so he likes to stay in the house. Looking through the medical books, I like to hug the little hawthorn the most. The little hawthorn is good-looking and good-looking. It is a good thing to hold it out and everyone praises it.

In the evening, Fang Shujing stewed some braised pork, and the aroma was already there before it was cooked. Floated out.

Old Man Liu was playing outside with his disciple, and he heard the neighbors say: "Has your disciple prepared something delicious for you again?"

"It's great. There are people who try their best to cook delicious food for you every day. " "

"It smells delicious. "

Old Liu took hawthorn pills for digestion at noon. He walked out all afternoon to get rid of the lunch. As a result, he started cooking delicious food again in the evening.

Old man Liu said: "Nothing, my disciple-in-law. He said that he wanted to cook me something delicious, but he couldn't stop him..." He said this, but there was a showy smile on his face.

He was holding a small one in his arms. He said: "I have to go get half a dozen Catty of wine. "

The people in the village were all greedy and said: "With wine and meat, you are really living a fairy life. "

" This apprentice will be raised like a son. "

It must be good. How many people don't even recognize their biological fathers, let alone their apprentices..." The villagers chatted with each other, and Old Man Liu went to buy wine with the little hawthorn in his arms. After getting the sorghum wine,

they warmed it up

, so they cooked rice cereal for the child. He didn't sleep until noon, and he felt sleepy after eating. Fang Shujing placed the little Zaizai next to the bed and surrounded it with a quilt to prevent the little one from falling to the ground.

Liu Yechen helped handle a few more medicines before coming out. Having coaxed the child to sleep, he went over and took another uneasy look. The little guy was so sleepy that he fell asleep lying there. His long eyelashes were flickering, and the white and tender little baby was all excited when he saw him sleeping. A kind of happiness.

Liu Yechen watched his son for a while before he came out to eat.

Fang Shujing made another table.

Old Man Liu looked at the dishes on the table and felt both sweet and troubled. My disciple-in-law's cooking was so delicious, but he still had to eat hawthorn pills after eating it.

Fortunately, he had the foresight. When Liu Yechen was making the honey pills today, he asked him to make more, so that he could eat them freely.

Old Man Liu said: "Let's have a drink today." There was no celebration after the reunion. He originally resisted acquaintance with his little apprentice, but now that he has a little apprentice busy organizing the medicine cabinet, his apprentice has made delicious food, and he has a little baby that he can hold as he pleases, his life is now more comfortable than before. He has had a lot of troubles, and even his neighbors said that his face has been glowing recently.

The wine in the countryside is made from grain. It is sweet in the mouth but has a strong stamina. Generally, people who are not able to drink can't drink much.

Fang Shujing has no problem, he has a good drinking capacity. Needless to say, Old Man Liu has been drinking for more than thirty years. Although he is not an alcoholic, every time he encounters a good dish, he always wants to drink some wine. Only Liu Yechen's drinking capacity is not very good.

This wine has been warmed, not as cold as before. He poured three small bowls of wine. Liu Yechen was also happy to see his master happy. Fang Shujing's help in finding his master simply fulfilled his greatest wish.

He stood up and held up the wine bowl and said: "Master, we will always be together from now on, okay."

Old Man Liu said arrogantly: "Of course, if I don't have you by my side, I can eat and drink whatever I want." Although he left Liu Ye Chen also suffered a lot. Later, he heard that Liu Yechen was responsible for the premature birth of Little Hawthorn and almost died because of him. He felt guilty and uneasy. Now that everyone is healthy, he has no other wishes.

Liu Yechen listened to the master's words and drank all the wine in one gulp.

He had never drank like this before. He drank a whole bowl in one gulp on an empty stomach. Even a person who could drink would not dare to drink like this.

Fang Shujing said: "Why are you drinking in such a hurry? You will get drunk soon." He quickly got him something to eat and went down.

Liu Yechen was so happy. But when I drank this thing, I also felt a hot feeling going straight into my throat, which was also very uncomfortable. The other party Shujing said: "How come so many people like wine if it's so unpleasant to drink?"

Old Man Liu next to him couldn't help laughing when he heard his young apprentice say this, and said: "You don't know. Wine is The more you drink, the younger you become. "And this is because he has never drank alcohol before buying this sweet wine. People in the village prefer to drink Xiaoshao, which is strong and enjoyable. He can't drink that kind of wine. .

Fang Shujing and Old Man Liu were drinking together. Although Fang Shujing was young, he was open-minded and knowledgeable by nature. Old Man Liu had traveled to many places over the years and had extensive knowledge, so the two of them could chat together.

Liu Yechen was eating food and listening to their chat. It was probably because he felt a little uncomfortable after finishing the bowl of wine in one go and didn't want to drink anymore.

Just watch Fang Shujing and Old Man Liu drinking next to them.

The two of them chatted more and more happily, but Liu Yechen's eyes became more and more blurred. I felt that he was trying hard to listen to everyone's words, but his eyes were very confused.

It looked like he had drunk too much, and he was lying on the table.

There were only three people on the table, and they thought he was uncomfortable. Fang Shujing said: "Liu'er..."

Liu Yechen raised his head and his cheeks were already flushed with drunkenness. He tilted his head and looked at Fang Shujing and said: "Hey "Why are there two husbands..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'll take you home."

As soon as he said this, Old Man Liu noticed that it was getting late and he forgot about the time while chatting, and said, "You guys go back first. " "

Liu Yechen looked at Fang Shujing and said: "Mr. As a result, Liu Yechen was greatly hurt: "You don't love me anymore."

Old Liu couldn't stand listening anymore, why was his little disciple so clingy?

Fang Shujing saw that Liu Yechen was really drunk and said, "Master, we will come and clean up for you tomorrow." After that, he hugged Liu Yechen and went back.

When Old Man Liu thought of his young apprentice, he sighed, it was better for him to find such a match for his young apprentice. It seemed that Liu Yechen was extremely satisfied. Whether you love him or not is something you put on the surface, and there is no reserve at all like a brother, tsk tsk tsk...

Originally I was afraid that my little apprentice would be wronged, but now I see that Fang Shujing is very tolerant of everything to him. There are not many men who cook in the village. Fang Shujing, a scholar, often studies what they like to eat and cooks it specially for them. I am afraid there are not many men who are as good as this. After they left, they picked up a few more peanuts, put them in their mouths and drank the last of the wine. When I returned to the house, I saw that Little Haw was still sleeping soundly on the bed, so I immediately chased him out, but Fang Shujing and Liu Yechen had already returned to the county town.

The adults left and left the baby behind...

Old Man Liu was slightly drunk at first, but now he was so frightened that he was half awake. He had never taken care of such a young child.

This apprentice and his son-in-law are not reliable either.

Old Man Liu was afraid that the child would cry in the middle of the night or something. This was a matter of great responsibility, so he waited here very carefully. It turns out that small hawthorns are very good to bring. I slept until the next morning before waking up.

Old Man Liu took care of him all night. Didn't even dare to blink. Now he saw that the little boy was awake and said, "When your father Liuer comes back, you have to talk to him. How can you leave the child alone and go home alone."

"Ah..." Little Hawthorn responded to him enthusiastically.

It's daylight now, and Old Man Liu wants to sleep... just waiting for his little apprentice to come over and take a nap. In the past, the little apprentice came early, but today he didn't come. Little Hawthorn was hungry. Old Man Liu had never been in the kitchen a few times in his life. He just found someone to make a fire and cooked some rice cereal to feed the child. The little guy gradually recovered. Stopped crying.

In fact, Liu Yechen and Fang Shujing also got up late. Liu Yechen was very enthusiastic after drinking too much. He also felt that Fang Shujing resisted his kiss and didn't love him. He wanted to prove it repeatedly, how can young people face an enthusiastic wife? , Fang Shujing just went with the flow.

It was almost noon when Liu Yechen woke up, and then he realized that the child was gone: "Where's the little hawthorn?"

Fang Shujing's expression changed. If his wife hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten that he had a son.

Chapter 86 The results are out

The couple went back to see the little hawthorn the next day, and the little one curled his lips and was very unhappy. Although Little Hawthorn is small, he is very smart. He usually follows everyone, but when he woke up and didn't see Liu Yechen and Fang Shujing, he was completely confused. When they came, Little Hawthorn had tears in his eyes. Liu Yechen felt guilty in his eyes.

The little boy was not happy when he was hugged by Liu Yechen's father.

Old Man Liu said: "You guys rest here, I want to take a nap." He had stayed up all night at such an old age, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Liu Yechen said: "Master, please go and have a rest." Then he hugged Little Hawthorn, who seemed afraid that the two of them would run away. The small hands kept holding Liu Yechen, fearing that he would be left behind this time.

The little guy laughed after being hugged and kissed by Liu Yechen several times. Little Hawthorn also secretly hid in his father's arms and smiled, which was very endearing.

Xiao Haw smiled and Liu Yechen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Little Hawthorn didn't sleep all day and finally night came. He was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes, but he still wanted to hold him. As soon as Liu Yechen put him down, the little guy woke up immediately, fearing that his two parents would throw him away if he fell asleep. Down.

It wasn't until the last time the family went back together that little Hawthorn fell asleep in the carriage. When they got home and changed the children's clothes into sleeping clothes, he was already sweating.

So soft and very cute.

Half a month later, Liu Lin called him early in the morning and said, "We have already booked a boat to go back to the county the day after tomorrow."

"Ah?"

Liu Lin said in surprise, "Have you forgotten? The results will be released today, and we will go back after the results are released. "Staying outside for nearly three months is really enough. Everyone can't get along outside and the money is almost gone. Chen Laoshi finally divided the remaining money, which was enough for everyone to take the boat back. I was really tortured during the exam days outside, and I was looking forward to going back as soon as possible.

Fang Shujing really forgot about releasing the results. Today, his daughter-in-law went to the village early to find Old Man Liu, holding the little hawthorn in her arms. He still wanted to go there later.

Looking at Fang Shujing's face, Liu Lin was convinced and said, "We are waiting day and night, but you really don't care." After they finished the exam, they were counting the days and looking forward to the release of the results.

As a result, Fang Shujing was living a leisurely life and completely forgot about this matter.

Fang Shujing said: "Sooner or later, it's yours."

Liu Lin's life has been rough since he came to the provincial capital. He doesn't have any time to review every day. He thought that the exam would be hopeless, but he didn't expect that as soon as the test papers were handed out. Instead, my heart was pounding.

This kind of question is thanks to Shan Chang. They have done this kind of paper, and it seems as if they have bet on the right question. The whole person suddenly becomes very confident, and it is more nervous because of the hope.

Fang Shujing said: "Let's go together."

Liu Lin showed a smile on his face and said: "That's what I meant, let's go."

The two of them went to the place where the rankings were posted, and before they walked in, they saw someone standing outside. They were all people, and there were many able-bodied young men pushing forward desperately, and the crowds were surging.

It hasn't been posted yet, but there's already a lot of people here. They all look forward to passing the exam. These people present all have the reputation of being a scholar, but being a scholar is different. Once you pass the exam, you can become an official after being selected. Scholarship is just a false name, and it is the most real thing.

Going further up requires hard study, and most people don't have the mental and financial resources. Their most practical goal is to raise people.

They were waiting outside, and the surrounding inns and teahouses were full of people. There are even some scholars who tell the waiter their names and ask the waiter to come and take a look. Once there are students who have passed the exam, they will come back to report the good news.

In this way, more people will come to see the list.

It was crowded again in the hot summer, and I was sweating all over before the results were released.

Some of the weak scholars looked ugly and looked as if they would faint at any time.

Finally, under everyone's expectation, the government officials came over with red paper and said: "The results are released." He shouted. It was like the crowd was instantly activated. Everyone suddenly started to rush forward, and the people behind Fang Shujing pushed forward, forcing them to squeeze in front.

Soon everyone started to post the list and put the red paper on it. All candidates are ranked.

I watched the people in the front row start to search over and over again.

"It's over, I failed the exam." I don't know who said it before. Everyone knows that it is difficult to pass the exam, but I still felt very uncomfortable when I actually failed the exam, which meant that I had to wait three years. This is a big test for scholars and students. For those whose family financial conditions are better, their families have already spent some money to smoothen the relationship and wait for him to make arrangements after passing the exam. For scholars whose family conditions are not good, it is a fatal blow. . If you think about taking the imperial examination, you will have to wait another three years, and the pen and ink expenses for these three years will be a lot.

Only a few are admitted, and most of them will fail. There are some who are strong in resisting blows, but those who are weak in resisting blows will start crying when they see their name on the list after getting this result.

These reactions from those who saw the list earlier greatly stimulated the mentality of those who had not yet seen the list.

But some people said: "I passed, I passed the exam, ah ah ah ah..." The ecstasy was beyond words.

There is no certainty that some will be happy and some will be sad in front of the list.

Liu Lin relied on his cleverness to squeeze in front, looked at it carefully, then turned back to Fang Shujing and said, "You passed the exam, fifth place." When he said this, many people turned to look at Fang Shujing.

Fifth place is awesome. This exam is so biased and I can still pass it smoothly. I really have a bright future.

Liu Lin said from behind: "Ah ah ah ah, Chen Laoshi and I are both on the list..."

When he shouted, many people looked over. It's difficult to pass the exam for so many people, but so many of them have passed the exam. There were only a few positions on the list. He could pass the exam but others could not. Everyone became nervous for a moment and couldn't wait to know how they were doing!

Liu Lin quickly squeezed out from the front. He was usually quite steady, but when he came out he saw Fang Shujing's eyes full of tears: "That's great." The tears were falling down and he couldn't control them at all. What I have learned over the years is just a dream come true today.

Fang Shujing also went to the front and saw his name. I also felt happy in my heart.

After coming out, Liu Lin said: "That's great." He looked at the list and found that the top four people ranked in the top four of Fang Shujing were all famous talents. Even the top one was a young man from an aristocratic family. He could be better among this group of people. Fang Shujing is no ordinary outstanding person.

And in the entire Shanlin Academy, Fang Shujing did the best in the exam this time. It is hard to believe that he could pass the exams of Scholar and Juren in succession within one year. It was just like what the book said, he became famous after three years without making a name for himself.

"That's great..." Liu Lin's family background can only be regarded as an average family, but it was different now that he was admitted to the National People's Government. He felt proud and proud.

The two of them were really excited and went to a nearby tavern for a drink. I also saw other people who were also from Shanlin Academy. The others were in a very bad mood when they failed to pass the exam. When they saw that they had passed the exam, they felt a little complicated. They cupped their hands and left in a hurry.

They were both drinking in the pub.

From what they said about the work in the tavern, I heard that they were actually the future masters who spoke respectfully, served wine and food, and were very good at doing business.

Liu Lin said: "I will go back and register first. If there is any missing position, it will be fine." Then you can become an official.

Fang Shujing said: "That's okay."

Liu Lin said: "Before that, I have to take care of the big things in life."

He was not so anxious to get married before, but when he saw that Fang Shujing had a wife and a son, he felt a little envious. He said, "Let's make a date to have a baby. Don't listen to their nonsense. My daughter must be pretty."

Fang Shujing smiled and said, "You haven't gotten married yet. Besides, what if you give birth to a son? Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. No one can predict what will happen in the future. How can we mess up the relationship?"

Liu Lin laughed when he heard it: "You are very generous." Nowadays, marriages are all about matching. The reason why he hasn't gotten married yet. In order to rely on the candidate to choose a better marriage, which will help the prosperity of the family: "What if your son falls in love with a girl from a poor family, would you agree?"

Fang Shujing said: "Of course."

Liu Lin sighed with emotion: "Your level is still high." It's different from ordinary people like him.

While they were talking, the two of them drank a bottle of wine. Fang Shujing said, "Don't worry about drinking for now. You should also go back and send a message. The academy and home are waiting for you."

Liu Lin slapped hard when he heard what he said . He shook his head and said: "Look at me, I forgot about it." Then he said: "Then I will go back first." Looking at Fang Shujing, he has not changed. He has been like this since the first time he saw him. He was calm and indifferent, even now. He did so well in the noun test this time and his future must be limitless. Liu Lin said: "I'll see you again in the future." He has several important things waiting to be done now.

Fang Shujing paid for the meal and said, "See you later."

Liu Lin exchanged a few more pleasantries before leaving. After Fang Shujing finished drinking, he planned to go back to report a letter to his family and write a letter to the academy by the way. letter. Unexpectedly, after taking just a few steps, he was stopped by someone. The person who stopped him looked very kind. Seeing him, he said: "Congratulations, Mr. Fang, our master has been waiting for a long time and wants to treat you to a drink." While speaking, he took advantage of others not paying attention to show him the token in his sleeve. This token is clearly the symbol of the young Marquis.

Fang Shujing raised his eyebrows and said, "I should pay him a visit."

The servant respectfully invited him into the sedan.

The sedan soon stopped in a quaint house. The door opened, and he got off from the outside and walked directly inside. Housing prices in the province are not comparable to those in the county. The price is very high. Being able to own such a big house here is not just a matter of money.

Fang Shujing walked inside for a long time. There were many pavilions, rockeries and a man-made lake inside. When crossing the bridge, there were actually koi carps of various colors swimming around inside.

When I walked to the innermost courtyard and entered the small courtyard, I saw the little Marquis wearing ordinary clothes. The last time I saw him, he was already dying. Now, the little Marquis is sitting there with a sword-shaped eyebrow and starry eyes, looking at Fang Shujing is actually very close. Said: "Congratulations, you did well in the exam this time." The young Marquis admired Fang Shujing very much. He was able to break out of the quagmire with his life experience and status. He was very outstanding, and Fang Shujing was also his savior.

When he returned to the imperial court, the whole capital was in a state of shock. The young Marquis had been cured of his disease for a long time without stone medicine. This was unexpected by everyone, and there were no sequelae.

He just told everyone that his body will gradually recover on its own. Not that such an adventure would bring trouble to Fang Shujing. There is a legend in the capital that he was a blessed general. God was unwilling to let him die young, so he gave him another life. It was a blessing in disguise for him. After the emperor heard about it, he was promoted to a higher level, and his father also received many rewards.

This time I came back specifically to see Fang Shujing. I wanted to repay this kind of life-saving kindness. When I came back, I heard that Master Liu asked their shopkeeper to find him and rewarded him.

The young Marquis said: "This time the emperor opened an examination room to select talented people. I heard before that even the examiners praised your article and it was very helpful in governing the county." He praised.

Fang Shujing's heart moved after hearing this. What Xiao Houye meant was that he was going to put a burden on him.

It is true that a candidate can become an official, but not every candidate can become an official. Over the years, there have been too many candidates, and there are only a few official positions. You still have to do a lot of activities to become one.

The meaning of what the young marquis said at this time was obvious.

Fang Shujing said, "Thank you, Mr. Marquis."

The young Marquis smiled softly and said, "Do a good job." He liked Fang Shujing, a smart person who could tell the truth. He needed to do something to get promoted, and even his own rare token was given to him. This is a serious direct lineage. If the young Marquis wants to help Fang Shujing, it only takes one word.

As soon as Fang Shujing left, the official's transfer order came down, and he was to be transferred to Yangping County to be a ninth-grade county magistrate.

Yangping County produces cotton and cotton cloth, and is considered wealthy among some counties.

The young marquis meant that he should stay in that position for three years. After three years, he would be in his twenties. With fame, experience and the help of the young marquis, his future would be unlimited.

Fang Shujing quickly came back and talked to Liu Yechen.

Liu Yechen couldn't believe it: "Ms. sir, have you passed the exam?" He originally wanted to be with Fang Shujing. Didn't you expect that he actually became an official? It all feels a bit unreal.

The little hawthorn in his arms didn't know why, and even blinked at this moment.

Fang Shujing said: "It's true." He got a transfer order, allowing him to go to the territory in one month. If he leaves immediately, he can go home to announce the good news.

After Liu Yechen was doubtful for a short time, he became excited: "That's great."

Fang Shujing hugged Liu Yechen's waist from behind.

Liu Yechen blushed and was a little excited. His husband was indeed the most powerful, but he suddenly thought of something: "But master..."

Fang Shujing said a few words in Liu Yechen's ears. Liu Yechen asked in surprise, "Is that okay?"

Fang Shujing calmly said, "Go and try it and you'll know."

"Yes." Liu Yechen nodded, and then went to find his master.

Old Man Liu knew that Fang Shujing was a scholar, and he actually passed the exam on the first try. For such a young Juren, he looked at his young apprentice and sighed that he was really lucky. Fang Shujing was good-looking and hard-working. If she hadn't gotten married in advance, many young ladies and young men from high-ranking families would have wanted to marry her. As a result, he got the better of him.

When Old Man Liu saw his young apprentice insisting on going to the fiefdom together, he said, "Whenever we leave, I'll leave with you." This time he agreed very readily.

How many men can withstand the test? Seeing that he is such a young county magistrate, if someone gets tired and goes out to have a good time, it will still be his young apprentice and apprentice who suffer. He used to be the young apprentice's supporter. .

As soon as Old Man Liu agreed, he saw the surprise on Liu Yechen's face and said, "Master, please hurry up, we will leave tomorrow." When

Old Man Liu heard this, he said, "Even if I agree, it will all fall into your plan." Are you guilty?" He said unhappily: "What if I don't agree?"

Liu Yechen said aggrievedly: "If you don't agree, I will stay with you." They are so in love that they have to separate. Very pitiful. His disciple's heart is tied to others. It would be a sin to separate the two of them for him.

Old Man Liu could not bear to let his little apprentice be unhappy, and said: "Your filial piety is enough. I will say goodbye to the village chief." After coming here, the village chief saw that he was taking good care of him, but now he wants to You have to say hello to the village chief when you leave.

"I'll go with you." Liu Yechen didn't mind it, and followed him with the child in his arms, fearing that the master would agree and run away...

Old Man Liu blushed, he did such an unreliable thing, alas, who told him to break the heart of his young disciple, just follow him.

After they packed up and checked out of the house, they went specifically to talk to Shuanzi. Shuanzi was busy every day and started practicing calligraphy at night. Although the handwriting was a bit ugly now, keeping accounts was no longer a problem... Now his house is of high quality and low price. The reputation has spread, and there is an endless stream of customers coming to buy things every day. There are even a few families from the county outside who have specially chartered an oxcart to buy things back home.

The embolus is becoming more and more impressive.

Knowing that he was admitted to the Juren Examination was also a surprise. No wonder everyone tightens their belts to support a scholar. Once you pass the exam, it will be like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate.

With his eyes closed, Shuanzi could think of how his uncle's family had become so prosperous, and he didn't feel any jealousy at all. There was a saying, "One person can ascend to heaven like a chicken or a dog." He only hoped that the Fang family would get better and better, and when the time came, he would help people like them one by one. Relatives who are poor but ambitious can all get up.

...

They also chartered a boat back. The provincial capital is close to the pier, so it would be faster to take a boat here.

Before Fang Shujing could go back, the news came back first.

Although he wrote letters to his home and college respectively. But every year when the rankings are released, someone will always know in advance.

As soon as Lu Quatou heard that Fang Shujing had passed the examination and was the best in their county, he immediately went to prepare gifts and went to the Fang family's old house in Qingshui Village to congratulate him with gongs and drums.

When the county magistrate heard that Fang Shujing had passed the exam, he almost broke out in sweat. The better Fang Shujing was, the more uneasy he became. Why had he been confused at first and took money from the Xu family to deprive him of his fame? Fortunately, he was able to make amends in time. He was afraid that Fang Shujing would hold a grudge in his heart. With his ability and the connections of the young marquis, he would go further than him in the future, which would be amazing. The county magistrate spent a lot of money this time. He directly took out one hundred taels and gave it to Lu Qantou and asked him to give it to Fang Shujing's house, saying it was for him as a reward. When he took it, his heart was bleeding. The county magistrate usually accepts some small gifts and spends a lot on food and clothing. He gave one hundred taels to his little treasury, which was half short.

Thinking about it, I felt unhappy, so I gave the Xu family a hard note, and I would settle the accounts with him later.

Lu Qantou beat gongs and drums all the way to Qingshui Village.

Nowadays, Qingshui Village has changed a lot. Since there was a wood furniture factory, they often have the opportunity to do odd jobs, and rely on the Fang family to make some money.

As soon as I heard the cheerful sound of suona and drums coming in. Everyone craned their necks to look outside and said, "Whose family is hosting a wedding?"

"I haven't heard of it..." Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

Suddenly someone with sharp eyes recognized him: "Isn't that Lu Qantou? I'm going to find Fang." Lu Qantou said in front of everyone that he and Fang Shujing were good brothers. Because of this relationship, There are many local gangsters nearby who are jealous of the income of their furniture factory, but no one comes to find trouble. This is why.

The people behind took a look and took a breath: "This food, cloth, silk and satin, porcelain bottles. A big screen, four boxes of gifts. Even getting married is nothing more than this." If it weren't for the two sons of the Fang family, both You have to suspect that someone is coming to propose marriage.

Hearing that the deer hunter was coming, the village chief of Qingshui Village also came out to greet him. Although I heard that this battle was not small, I was still shocked when I saw it: "This..." Then he stepped forward and mustered up the courage to ask Xiang Lu Captou: "What's going on?"

Lu Captou laughed and said: "It's my good brother Fang Shujing who has passed the exam."

The village chief was not prepared at all and was very surprised when he heard the news.

The surrounding villagers also burst out with enthusiastic voices: "Master Juren, this is too awesome. I heard that many people fail to pass the exam after trying it their whole life. How old is Fang Shujing this year?"

"Lao Fang's family will do the same in the future . It's different! Who dares to say that the Fang family is not good in the future?"

"It's so worthwhile to have such a son."

"I still think it's because the location of their ancestral tomb is good. I'll ask a Feng Shui master to take a look at our home in the future.

The people next to him laughed and said, "Your son is as skinny as a monkey. Even if you move the ancestral grave to the edge of the sky, you still won't be able to pass the examination." Everyone

was talking and laughing as Fang came over. She was nervous. She heard that her youngest son had passed the exam and came to congratulate her. She was filled with huge surprises and her mind went blank. She had to hear it with her own ears to believe it. Then she saw the pile of things on Luquatou's headband. It's true. She said excitedly, "Did my son really pass the exam?"

Lu Quantou laughed loudly in front of the villagers and said, "He passed the exam. Auntie, your good days are about to come."

Fang Shi couldn't bear such a big surprise, his eyes darkened and he fainted.

Chapter 87 Zhuangzhuang

The news that Fang Shujing passed the exam spread throughout the county. Countless people came to visit the Fang family's old house, and many people even took the initiative to give gifts in an attempt to make friends. However, except for the gifts from the county magistrate and Lu Qantou, all the gifts from everyone else in the Fang family were confiscated.

Their threshold is about to be stepped down. The rich people who everyone looked up to in the past are now smiling around. Neighbors around are saying with emotion that the Fang family is really different. Relatives who had not been in contact with each other for 800 years have also come to the door with generous gifts, all kinds of good words and free money. It seems to be said.

Brother Fang and Father Fang are lazy and let Madam Fang take care of this kind of thing. Madam Fang will be very tired just receiving such guests every day.

Li Xiuer said: "Mom, when will Jing'er come back?" Everyone in the village said that she got a big deal. Who would have thought that it would only take a few years for the Fang family to become prosperous. Before, many people despised Brother Fang and thought about his fate for the rest of their lives. As for the bachelor, now I see that a widow like Li Xiuer with children has not suffered at all from marrying in, and she is getting more and more handsome. It would be perfect if she could recruit a son-in-law into her family. Who wouldn't look up to her in the village if she could marry the Fang family? At first glance, it is a pity that money is hard to buy. If I had known earlier, I should have tried my best to arrange a marriage with Brother Fang. Many people regretted it.

Fang sighed with emotion: "Qian'er should have received his letter soon." This letter was read by Xu Quan. From the letter, he knew that Liu Yechen had found his master. When Fang thought about it, he could find it all. Sure enough, It is God who protects me.

After learning that Fang Shujing was coming back soon, the whole family began to look forward to it. They stocked up on fish, eggs, chicken, etc. that the family was reluctant to buy. They also suffered outside. What Fang worried about the most was hers. My little grandson was only a little bit old when he left. I wonder if he has grown up?

Li Xiuer said, "I'll go to the village entrance and have a look!" Their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would keep looking around the village entrance when they had nothing to do, but they never saw anyone.

Fang said: "Ignore him, let's stew the goose for dinner tonight." I recently bought a goose, kept a small part at home, and took the majority to the wood furniture factory to eat delicious food in various ways.

Li Xiuer said: "Sure." She immediately went to the kitchen. As soon as she left, Mrs. Fang looked at her eldest grandson, hugging him and coaxing him. Tiantian jumped up and said, "Uncle is back."

Mrs. Fang immediately stood up and said, "How do you know?"

Tiantian was more cheerful than before. There were too many, and she said, "I just saw a lot of carriages going in the direction of my uncle's house."

Fang held her child in her arms and said, "Let's go over and have a look." As soon as he left the door, he saw many villagers coming over: "Juren "The master is back." They looked at it seriously. The carriage was parked at the door of Fang Shujing. Now that Fang Shujing has passed the examination, many people want to buy a piece of land to build a house near him, saying that it is next to Fang Shujing. The house that is closer can also be nurtured and nurtured, and I strive to give birth to a smart child. Everyone, they are willing to hang around Fang Shujing's house if they have nothing to do. As soon as the carriage comes back, they will come over quickly to report the news!

Mrs. Fang had been looking forward to her youngest son's return for a long time. She was overjoyed when she heard that he was back: "He came back pretty quickly." I just received his letter a few days ago, but he came back two days later.

The men walking next to them said, "Most likely they walked by water."

Fang followed happily.

The news of Fang Shujing's return suddenly shocked the entire Qingshui Village. Many villagers' meals had just been served. When they heard that Fang Shujing was back, they put down their rice bowls and followed him to see. The first person to achieve fame.

Suddenly half the village followed. Soon I saw Fang Shujing. He was wearing a blue scholar's robe, and he looked like a handsome scholar. Such a young scholar was rare in the village and even in the county. Everyone wanted to get a glimpse of him. This blessing.

After Fang Shujing came back, Xu Quan didn't separate from him for a long time. When he saw him again, he almost burst into tears: "Young Master."

Fang Shujing looked at the neat and clean yard and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Xu Quan choked and said: " It's not hard at all to work for the young master."

As soon as Fang Shujing went out, he saw many villagers standing outside and said, "Master Ju Ren is back?" "How about the exam

in the provincial capital? "

"

She seems to be more handsome than before."

Fang Shujing said a few words to the neighbors, and then Mrs. Fang came and said, "Jing'er."

Mrs. Fang hugged his nephew, followed by Tiantian . They came together and looked at little girl Fang Shujing a little embarrassed. She hid half of her body behind Fang and said, "Uncle.

" It's only half a tael of silver, and it was melted by a special craftsman. It's very delicate and can be played with in your hand.

This was the first time Tiantian saw such a small Yuanbao. Her eyes were full of curiosity, but she didn't dare to accept it.

Mrs. Fang said from the side: "Take it."

The little girl accepted it, smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle."

Fang Shujing reached out and hugged his nephew over. They are all good-looking, and the nephew picks out the advantages of his eldest brother and sister-in-law. Although he is not as good as the little hawthorn, he is still a cute fat baby. Fang Shujing may have become a father, but now he likes children.

Fang said: "This child didn't have a big name either, his nickname is Zhuangzhuang." Then she asked Fang Shujing: "How is the little hawthorn?"

"It's fine. Apart from being a little clingy, he can eat and sleep." ." Fang Shujing mentioned his son with a smile on his face.

When Mrs. Fang heard this, she smiled and said, "It's normal for a child who is only over a month old to be clingy. You... need to take good care of you."

After a while, Liu Yechen and Old Man Liu came out.

Mrs. Fang hurriedly greeted him and said, "Doctor Liu, you are back with us. Liu'er missed you after you left." She respected Old Man Liu from the bottom of her heart. Not only does he have superb medical skills, but he is also a kind-hearted doctor. People in the countryside don't have much money. Usually, minor illnesses can be treated on their own, and only when serious illnesses occur will they go to the medical clinic. The medical clinic refuses to admit him after asking about it. Old Man Liu has always focused on treatment, not to mention the lack of money.

Moreover, the little apprentice he raised is also well-behaved, and he is quite satisfied with being a matchmaker.

Old Man Liu said: "There were some things before." He briefly mentioned the incident of running away from home.

Liu Yechen saw Fang and called her mother.

Seeing that Mrs. Fang was still looking around, as if looking for the little hawthorn, Liu Yechen said: "The little hawthorn is asleep." He fell asleep on the boat just now. I didn't wake up even after changing the carriage. Seeing that the child was sleeping so deeply, the adults couldn't bear to wake him up.

Mrs. Fang hummed.

He said to Old Man Liu, "Have you seen Little Hawthorn?"

These people were relatives from another generation. When Old Man Liu talked about Little Hawthorn, he said, "He is a smart boy with strong bones. He is a good candidate for medicine. "The little cub loves to be clean and wants to take a bath whenever anyone holds him. However, he doesn't feel disgusted when he smells the smell of various medicines when he goes to the pharmacy.

When Mrs. Fang heard that Old Man Liu said that her grandson was in good health, she felt relieved. Then he said: "Everyone is going to my place for dinner today. I will prepare a few dishes."

Old Man Liu is just an apprentice, raised like a son by his side, and the two families have not eaten together yet.

We have to make up for this matter after finally getting together this time.

Fang Shujing said: "Okay."

After hearing this, Mrs. Fang said: "It's your first time to clean up first, then I'll go back and cook." After saying that, she wanted to take Zhuangzhuang back.

Fang Shujing said: "Mom, let's take her back later."

Mrs. Fang thought about it and said, "Okay, then you have to take good care of my eldest grandson." She had to prepare a table when she went back. Even if she took the child back, there would be no one to take care of her, so she might as well leave it with him.

Fang Shujing carried Zhuangzhuang into the house and was very curious about his fat nephew.

It had been more than a month since Fang Shujing left. Ah Huang jumped for joy when he saw his master come back. Sometimes he walked in front of Fang Shujing, and sometimes he walked around behind him.

The tail is wagging like a hot wheel.

Fang Shujing said: "Ah Huang."

"Woof woof woof." Their dog hardly barked, and he was probably too excited now. It seemed that Ah Huang had never been wronged at home. His fur was very shiny and he was as fat as a bear.

It's hard to imagine that when I first brought him back, he was still a newly weaned puppy.

Ah Huang's scream startled the nephew in his arms. Fang Shujing was an expert at holding children, so he patted the child's back and said, "Be good and strong." Then he said to Ah Huang, "Don't scream."

Ah Huang whimpered in his throat, and he was very smart. Well, Fang Shujing and the others went back to the house, and Ah Huang followed them back to the house. He stood up with his front paws on the side of the baby's bed. When he saw the little hawthorn, he was happy: "Ah wu wu wu."

Xu Quan said from the side: "He really likes the young master."

"Yeah." Liu Yechen Watching from the side.

Old Liu went to the courtyard where they entered. It was Liu Yechen's place. There was a pharmacy and various medicine pounders.

There are three rooms with new bedding. Xu Quan had previously cleaned the house after receiving a letter from the young master, and put all the bedding in the sun to dry. Old Liu was very satisfied with this place.

They didn't have much when they came back from other places. Most of them were Old Man Liu's precious medicines. Liu Yechen simply packed them up and went to help his master collect them.

Old Man Liu was tidying up while randomly checking Liu Yechen's homework to see if he had missed anything. Thanks to Liu Yechen's usual diligence and studiousness, he was able to cope with it.

Old man Liu was very satisfied and said, "Read the treatise on febrile diseases and miscellaneous diseases again a few times."

"Yes, Master."

Fang Shujing put his nephew in the baby's bed. Their bed was quite big, and Zhuangzhuang slept on it. The inside was just right. As soon as Zhuangzhuang was put in, little Hawthorn woke up. This was the first time he saw a child about his own age, and he was stunned on the spot.

Zhuangzhuang and Little Hawthorn looked at each other over there, making the adults laugh non-stop.

"Ah." Little Hawthorn opened his mouth tentatively.

Zhuang Zhuang was worthy of being an elder brother. He said in front of his younger brother, "Yes." He looked very brotherly.

The little hawthorn wanted to get closer, because he liked the smell of milk on Zhuangzhuang's body, especially when he saw his ears, he wanted to go up and take a bite.

Fang Shujing had been taking the little hawthorn with him, so naturally he saw the little idea of ​​his cub, and said: "Don't bite, that's my brother." The little hawthorn may have baby teeth recently, so he likes to put whatever he likes when he encounters it. Take a bite in your mouth.

When Liu Yechen hugged her, she wanted to get in and bite her, but Fang Shujing found out several times.

After the little Haw came home, he had a good temper and said: "Ah..." He was so fierce.

Fang Shujing said: "No."

"Ah..."

Xu Quan watched with joy. Who would have thought that the young master who was praised as the reincarnation of Wenquxing would actually quarrel with the young master at home.

Ah Huang was also watching. He was a smart dog, and he couldn't afford to offend either his master or his little master. He remained silent at the moment.

Even though Little Hawthorn is a bit aggressive towards his brother Shu Jing, he is not aggressive towards Brother Zhuangzhuang at all and even holds his little hand. The two of them are quite comfortable playing there using words that adults cannot understand.

Fang Shujing said: "Let's go early, don't make mother wait too long." He said beside him.

Xu Quan held the young master in his arms, and Fang Shujing held his nephew. They went to Fang's house together. Along the way, everyone came up to look at them: "Hey, this is your child. He is so beautiful." It is rare to see a child as beautiful as Little Hawthorn, with big round eyes and a very cute look. She is still very white and her hair is very luxuriant. She looks a bit like Liu Yechen. Even Liu Yechen's children are more beautiful than ordinary children.

Everyone first praised the little Hawthorn for looking good, and then they were surprised. Didn't they all say that his child was born prematurely? Why is it that it looks about the same size as a full-term baby? Those bright black eyes are very smart, and he is a smart child at first glance.

Otherwise, Fang Shujing is a lucky person. Not only is his wife beautiful, but God also gave him the best son.

He was praised a lot along the way, and his little hawthorn seemed to understand. Not only was he not afraid of everyone's onlookers, he was also smiling.

But his nephew Zhuangzhuang frowned. The children were surrounded and he couldn't breathe fresh air. The little guy was very irritable. Fang Shujing walked a few steps quickly and went home quickly. The little guy didn't cry anymore.

Li Xiuer was working in the yard when she heard that the child was back and hurried to greet her. Zhuang Zhuang looked at his mother before he smiled. She looked very shy like his father.

Li Xiuer said: "Mom has cooked a lot of good dishes. I have to go and help. I ask you to help take care of the child."

Fang Shujing said: "

Sister-in-law, please stop being busy. Zhuangzhuang looks sleepy. Please coax her. " "Let him go, I'll cook and help my mother." He doesn't go home often. Although he gives the family some money, he lacks some companionship. Now that he is back, he wants to stay with Mr. Fang.

When Li Xiuer heard this, she quickly refused: "How can that be done?" He had come back from the provincial capital all the way, and he had to go to cook without taking a rest after a long journey. She was very uneasy, and there were not many men in the village who knew how to cook. Cooks, as promising as Fang Shujing, should sit at the table and drink tea and rest.

"Ah..." His nephew Zhuangzhuang was a milk drinker. He could smell the smell and hummed like a little pig. But Li Xiuer ignored her son. As time went by, the little guy also became emotional.

Fang Shujing said, "Take care of your nephew."

After saying that, he carefully closed his sister-in-law's door.

The son was still in Xu Quan's arms. When Fang Shujing came back, the little guy looked at him curiously. Fang Shujing smiled and said: "Brother is going to sleep."

Little Hawthorn doesn't sleep. He slept a lot on the boat and carriage, and now he likes to be held and played out.

Xu Quan rarely hugged the young master like this, but now he hugged the little dumpling and refused to let go. Little Hawthorn also likes to be hugged by him. Her body was still leaning against him softly. Xu Quan smiled even more happily and said: "The young master must like me."

Fang Shujing said: "You can hold him and go out to play for a while."

After hearing Fang Shujing's words, Xu Quan immediately hugged the child and said happily: " As he walked away, he heard the cheerful laughter of his little hawthorn.

A smile appeared on Fang Shujing's lips, and he went in to help Fang

make a big pot of rice every day . Now that I have mastered the exercise, I can listen in all directions and see in all directions. Two stoves are burning at the same time, one is steaming rice and the other is cooking. One person is washing and chopping vegetables.

Fang Shujing is so busy that he almost has an afterimage. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Mom, let me help you. When Mrs. Fang

saw him, she smiled and said, "No, you go back and have a rest. I can do this little work myself."

Fang Shujing said: "I happen to be fine, and Liu'er and his master are still arranging things. " Xu Quan took the little hawthorn to play. Zhuang Zhuang is pestering his sister-in-law when he is hungry. Now I'm just an idler. "After that, I started to wash the vegetables.

Fang Shujing has a job in his eyes, and it will be much easier with him in Fang's family.

Mrs. Fang looked at it, smiled lovingly at him and said, "That's OK." She asked him to wash and chop vegetables nearby. Don't let him get exposed to oil fumes while cooking and so on. Fang Shujing quickly washed and cut all the vegetables and meat to be used. Seeing that the fire in the stove was not strong, he quickly added a fire next to it.

Mrs. Fang had mixed feelings when she saw Fang Shujing. Fortunately, they had Fang Shujing in their family, otherwise the family would hardly be able to survive. He can still pass the exam, and she will be able to stand tall even if she sees the ancestors of the Fang family in this life.

The heat of this meal brought tears to my eyes.

Fang Shujing happened to see it. He took out the handkerchief and handed it to Fang and said, "Mom, don't cry."

Fang took the handkerchief and wiped her eyes. She suppressed the feeling of crying and said with a smile, "Today is a happy day. Yes. Mom is not good." She just thought of the past, and compared with her current life, it was like a dream. How could she have imagined that Fang Shujing was so impressive.

Mrs. Fang still wanted to say something emotional, but Li Xiuer came in and said, "Mom, if there is anything left to cook, I'll do it." Every time Fang Shujing comes home, it's like celebrating the New Year. She couldn't hide out at this time.

Fang said: "You are here, that Zhuangzhuang."

Li Xiuer said: "Tiantian is watching." That's how it is in the countryside, the older ones look at the younger children.

When Mrs. Fang heard this, she said, "Count how many dishes there are. Doctor Liu is here for the first time today. We will make ten dishes that are perfect."

Fang Shujing said, "I'll have another fried pork with chili pepper." He saw peppers growing in the small yard. His wife's favorite dish was this. It just so happens that I haven't eaten well on the road these past few days, so I made some spicy food to appetize.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Fang laughed and said, "I know you can cook, but today you try my cooking."

Li Xiuer also said, "Yes, you have a rest."

Mrs. Fang thought about it and said, "If you are free, bring me some food." Zhuangzhuang, let's go play. His father goes to the lumber factory every day, and your sister-in-law's arms are also tired. "This is the trouble of having a fat grandson. Although he is smart and cute, not many people can hold him and play with him.

Fang Shujing saw that his mother had given him this order specifically. "Okay."

Li Xiuer was very happy to hear this. She also wanted her son to have more contact with this promising uncle. After a while, Fang Shujing took his son around the yard. His eldest nephew is much more honest than little Hawthorn.

Father Fang and Brother Fang didn't come back until evening, and they gave the workers below a holiday. He was also very excited to see Fang Shujing when he came back, but men are not good at expressing themselves. Father Fang looked at it for a long time and finally just said: "It's good to come back." Looking at Fang Shujing, he said: "I heard that the imperial examination is very hard, so I will go back this time." Let's make up for it!"

Brother Fang looked at Fang Shujing holding his son and said, "Your nephew must be fat."

Fang Shujing snorted.

Brother Fang was a little greedy and said: "If you feel tired, I will carry you."

Fang, who came out of the kitchen, heard this and said: "I just know how to carry my son. Go back and wash yourself. Look at you like this. It's like rolling through the mud several times. "Old man Liu will come here later and you will have to pay more attention.

Brother Fang and Father Fang didn't care to look at their son and hurried back to change clothes.

After a while, Liu Yechen and Old Man Liu came.

Fang set up the largest round table. The wine at home that was reluctant to drink was also taken out.

"Thank you for your hard work, I suggest that we all have a drink." Father Fang was really happy. When he heard that Fang Shujing was admitted to the Juren Examination, it was like a dream, and it was as light as a dream without a sense of reality. It was not until the county magistrate and Lu Qutou congratulated him that he realized that it was true. What a blessing it was.

As soon as Father Fang spoke, everyone toasted together.

Later, Father Fang asked Old Man Liu how he was doing, and the family had a lively meal.

He couldn't help but started praising Fang Shujing, and the more he praised him, the more he praised him. Even Fang Shujing blushed a little when he heard it.

Old Man Liu said: "It's really good." He has enjoyed living together during this time, no wonder his little apprentice likes him so much. He is handsome, has a sweet mouth, is good to his son, and is promising academically. There is really no place to look for such a disciple-in-law.

Little Hawthorn was held by Liu Yechen. The little cub likes to look around and looks very cute and clever.

If it weren't for today's celebration of their return, everyone would have wanted to hug them and take turns kissing them. The little grandson is so good-looking.

After three drinks and five meals, Fang Shujing said casually: "Mom, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay at home for long this time."

Fang asked, "Where would you go if you weren't at home?"

Fang Shujing said, "My official position is The transfer order has been issued, and I am going to be an official in a county." As soon as he said this, the whole audience was shocked.

Ms. Fang thought nothing could shock her, but the news suddenly exploded in her heart like a huge firework. Be an official? If he went directly to the county to become an official, wouldn't he be the county magistrate?

No one in the room said anything. I wonder if it was Fang Shujing's misunderstanding, but the heartbeat in the room was a little louder.

Chapter 88 Home

The fact that Fang Shujing became an official caused an uproar in the Fang family. From now on, they will become the official's family members? Everyone couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, as if they were in a dream.

However, everyone had a tacit understanding to hide this matter. They did not want to cause trouble to Fang Shujing and wanted to stay in the village on weekdays. Anyway, the place where Fang Shujing is going to take office is far away from here, and no one will know if he doesn't tell him.

At this moment, I don't know what attitude I should use to talk to Fang Shujing. Originally, Fang Shujing was not raised by them, so he was a little polite. Now that he has become an official, this feeling has become stronger.

Fang Shujing said: "I will always be your son." Then he said: "I think Zhuang Zhuang is good. When he gets old, let's send him to a private school."

As soon as he said this, Brother Fang was a little excited. He was honest. Silent but not stupid, Fang Shujing clearly wanted to promote his son, and the family became excited again.

After finishing the meal, they went back to rest early. They had worked hard on their journey.

It was okay for Fang Shujing to return home, but Liu Yechen had deep feelings for this place. This is the place where he grew up and where he got married. Now he is completely relaxed. The candlelight casts a soft mist on his beautiful face. There is gentleness in his brows and eyes. He still likes home. Every corner here is decorated by them.

It was in this room that he got married and gave birth to his son, and kept all his beautiful memories.

Fang Shujing hugged him from behind and said, "Go to rest early."

Liu Yechen said, "Little Hawthorn hasn't slept yet." Then he took his son out of the crib. The little guy's eyes were wide open. The guy slept all day and was still energetic at night.

Fang Shujing's heart moved and he said: "Put the child on the bed to sleep."

Liu Yechen placed the small hawthorn in the middle, and he slept inside. Fang Shujing lay on the edge.

Although the body was very tired, the spirit was very high. The son would not sleep. They coaxed the child until late at night, and then turned off the lights when the little hawthorn was no longer energetic.

Soon there was the sound of even breathing.

...

When the sunshine came in the next day, Fang Shujing woke up and found that Liu Yechen had already started playing with the little hawthorn, putting the child on his chest, and the little hawthorn was also smiling.

Fang Shujing leaned over, kissed his wife and son on the face, and said, "When did you wake up?"

His wife said, "I was woken up by my son just now." Since giving birth to the child, he Extremely sensitive to the sounds made by children. Little Hawthorn woke up early and was so energetic that even a little kid like him couldn't turn over and lie there kicking his legs to play. After playing for a while with no one to accompany him, he groaned twice and woke up Liu Yechen. He got up and played with him on the hawthorns and he immediately became happy. He hugged Liu Yechen and kissed and nibbled on her.

Fang Shujing got up to change his clothes. He looked handsome even in the most ordinary clothes. Liu Yechen stood up holding the little hawthorn and saw Fang Shujing looking so handsome and charming. His cheeks turned red and Zaizai was stunned.

Fang Shujing tidied up. When he turned around and saw his two darlings, he said, "Let me hold him." His little hawthorn had gained a lot of weight recently, and he even crimped his arms when he picked them up. With Little Haw in his arms, Liu Yechen hurriedly changed clothes. Fang Shujing looked at him from here.

His scrutinizing eyes made Liu Yechen's cheeks blush: "You go out first." His husband-in-law was here and he was too embarrassed to take off his clothes.

Fang Shujing couldn't help but chuckle, and Liu Yechen's cheeks turned redder.

Fang Shujing said, "Then I'll go out and wait for you." After that, he hugged the child and went out. When Xu Quan came out, he had already cooked porridge, pickles, and some eggs.

Ah Huang ran over when he saw Fang Shujing and walked around his feet affectionately, completely forgetting that he was a big dog. Fang Shujing held the little hawthorn in front of Ah Huang. Ah Huang seemed to know that he was the little master and was very happy.

Little Hawthorn watched Ah Huang running around and kicked his legs excitedly: "Ah..." This child is quite courageous. He is not afraid of people or dogs.

Xu Quan said: "Master, what will I do if you leave?" This old house still needs someone to look after it. There are still crops in the fields, and I am afraid that the crops will not be taken care of, but I also want to be with my young master. Xu Quan has always been Fang Shujing's servant and has never been separated.

Fang Shujing said, "Do you want to go with me?"

"Yes." Xu Quan nodded. Then he hesitated and said, "Can you bring Ah Huang with you?" He felt emotional about feeding Ah Huang every day.

Fang Shujing said: "Then let's go together. Let mother help take care of the house and hire people to work on the fields."

Xu Quan was a little excited when he talked about the fields: "Master, I will take you to see them after dinner." Look at the fields. Our grain is grown next to the village chief's house, but it's growing better than theirs. "The harvest will be in two months, and you can tell by looking at the grain's ears. Produce.

Fang Shujing knew that there was spiritual spring water in that field. The food was not only delicious but also very nutritious.

Liu Yechen came out while he was talking. He came out and changed his clothes, looking delicate and elegant. The little hawthorn in his arms made a sound, and Old Man Liu also came out of the house. He had a good sleep last night, and now he was full of energy. He had something to eat when he got up early in the morning. He quickly sat down and drank two large bowls of porridge. The pickles are pickled in-house.

Xu Quan said: "Master, the servants of Master Lin's family came here several times before, wanting to buy our pickles, dried vegetables and pickles. I asked my wife, and she asked me to sell them..." Anyway, I couldn't eat them all, so I sold them all. At present, all that is left is the vegetable patch in the yard.

Anyway, it's their food, no matter how it's made, everyone wants it.

Their dishes are sweet and delicious no matter how you cook them. Lin Yuchen's family runs a restaurant business, and they have accumulated many regular gourmet customers over the years. Somehow their tongues are so long that they can taste different things.

I just love to eat, but all the dishes at home have been eaten. Come every half month. They planted a lot in their garden, but most of them were picked every time.

Old Man Liu ate their side dishes and they were really delicious. They tasted so refreshing. No wonder others were so eager to eat them.

This money was also given to Xu Quan, who kept an account book and handed it over to the young master later. Even the chickens he raised were very popular in their restaurant, and they spent a lot of money to buy them.

Xu Quan said: "They also wanted to order food from our family, but I didn't agree to this." I don't know why there are so many die-hard loyalists.

Fang Shujing said: "It's good. If we move away, they will probably cry. Next time you go to the county to deliver a message. Tell Lin Yuchen that I will treat him to a drink when I come back."

Xu Quanda I finished my meal in the morning and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go now."

The author has something to say: Starting from tomorrow, two chapters will be changed to one chapter and will be updated at 6 p.m. If there are any changes, please leave it in the comment area that day There will be instructions. mwah

Chapter 89 Xu Quan

When Lin Yuchen heard the news, he came over quickly and said, "I heard that you passed the examination." There was some genuine joy on his face when he spoke.

Before, he had a good relationship with Fang Shujing, and there was someone who was acting strangely. We met before because both families were sons of merchants. They had similar family backgrounds and got along well with each other. But later, Fang Shujing's status plummeted and he became the son of a farmer. Many of his former good friends had left. People would gossip about him even if we met him. Lin Yuchen Ignoring these people, he makes friends because he likes to be with whomever and has so much utilitarianism.

Now that they heard that he had been admitted to the Juren Examination, those friends who had lost their relationship in the past took the initiative to find Lin Yuchen and asked him to help make peace. They were all rejected by Lin Yuchen. What kind of people are they who gather together and scatter when all the profits are gone?

Lin Yuchen likes Fang Shujing's upright and upright character. The two of them first stayed in the same private school for six years. Fang Shujing has always been a top student, but he was far behind in comparison. Now he saw that Fang Shujing was actually a year old. He passed the exams of scholar and public examination one after another, his eyes were full of envy.

This time to entertain him, Fang Shujing made him a casserole with chicken stew. It was stewed when Xu Quan notified Xin'er, and it's just ready to eat now. The chicken was stewed over low heat until it was very crispy, and very few condiments were added, but the chicken didn't have any fishy smell at all.

Lin Yuchen also picked it up with chopsticks without hesitation, and he could tell that they were using their own local chicken. They just used a little dried mushrooms to go with it and it was very delicious.

Although Lin Yuchen has many restaurants at home, he still likes to eat just this one. I couldn't help but pick up a few more chopsticks and said, "This is your own home-raised chicken. It doesn't taste the same as the chicken outside!"

In addition to the casserole chicken stew, I also made some other small dishes that can be eaten with wine.

Lin Yuchen, still immersed in excitement, put down his chopsticks and said, "God must be particularly fond of you. Why are you so good at everything you do? Now there are several gourmets in our family who love to eat your food. They have been doing it for many years." We are old customers. I will prepare some food for them at your house. It is delicious and will make you feel better." They said it as if it were an elixir: "There is also a wood furniture factory. I also have some food here. The drawings I gave to my uncle came out with many new designs, and they have been very popular. "Now, if you go to pay dividends every month, you can give the Fang family more than a hundred taels of silver!"

Many items will be sold out within a few days of release.

If their output wasn't limited, they could still make a little more. But one thing he admires from the bottom of his heart is that no matter how good they sell, the quality of their furniture is always good. Many knowledgeable people basically buy it here. Who would paint such cheap household furniture with so many layers? Paint not only extends the life of your home but is also easy to maintain. Moreover, their furniture is simple and elegant, and will not look out of place in any room.

They were the first to transform a store selling furniture into a home decoration store, allowing people to see the results directly.

Other furniture stores now do the same. The colleagues were enemies. After his store became popular, an identical store opened diagonally opposite.

The items they sell seem to be about the same price as his, but cheaper than theirs. It still attracted a lot of customers at first, but how could their cut-and-corner products compare with them? Several customers came to buy it and found that they had been cheated. It was made of rotten wood and the legs were not stable at all. The business over there, which was quite noisy, is back again.

Now the store opposite is almost out of business. I looked at it and it's already listed and I want to sell it out.

He used to be idle, but now he is doing this in partnership with Fang Shujing and has made a name for himself among the playboys in the county. Many people will say "Boss Xiaolin" when they see him.

Those who had an enmity with Fang Shujing regretted it. Who would have thought of this?

Fang Shujing said: "I'm going to leave in a few days, and Xu Quan will come with me this time." Xu Quan stayed because his family couldn't leave. He knows a lot and can be a little steward, helping with management. Over there at the wood furniture factory. Father Fang and Fang Dalang are both honest people who don't know how to manage. But now that Xu Quan has been in office for three years, he doesn't want to stay, so he wants to take him away.

Lin Yuchen's smile suddenly froze on his face. Xu Quan was in charge of all the food in the fields. If he left, the gourmets in his shop might not be able to eat the food they like. He knew better than anyone how picky these people were. .

Lin Yuchen asked, "Why do you want to leave again?" Since the two of them separated, they had watched Fang Shujing go around studying for exams, and they had no chance to have fun over wine.

Fang Shujing simply said that he was going out to take office. Lin Yuchen's reaction was the same as that of his family members. He was stunned on the spot.

It took him a while to come back to his senses, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to say: "Wow... okay?" He really didn't expect it, so he asked Fang Shujing where he was going to take office. He said happily: "I'll come over to see you when I have some free time." After

the two of them drank, I'm afraid they won't have such leisurely drinking time in the future. I have to get him drunk this time. He kept telling me to drink alcohol one after another, and he couldn't stop at all.

After drinking for more than two hours, Lin Yuchen was now Xiao Lin's boss and had more social activities, and his alcohol consumption had increased significantly, but he was still no match for Fang Shujing. After a while, he couldn't sit still and crawled under the table. .

Fang Shujing also drank a lot. Although he was conscious, he was very tired. He rubbed his swollen temples. Xu Quan was asked to help Mr. Lin to the guest room to rest. He was slightly swaying when he stood up, and was supported by his wife. He smelled a nice fragrance under his nose, and Fang Shujing couldn't help but leaned over and took a few sniffs. Sure enough, it was the fragrance coming from my daughter-in-law.

"Liu'er, you smell so good..."

He watched as Liu Yechen's ears turned suspiciously pink. He said: "Where, where is it?" He was a little nervous.

Fang Shujing's steps were a little erratic. Lin Yuchen really didn't drink him lightly. He was still awake at this moment. He looked at his wife and said, "Where's the little hawthorn."

"Master took him away." Old Liu really liked the little hawthorn. The little hawthorn babbling and coaxing made Old Man Liu hug and play with him whenever he had nothing to do.

When Fang Shujing heard that the child was not here, his eyes lit up and he said, "That's just right...".

Liu Yechen wanted to support him on the bed, but he fell into his generous arms because of his strength, and was kissed fiercely by his sweetheart.

...

Fang Shujing slept for less than an hour. It was not yet dark outside, and his wife was lying next to him. She must have been very tired just now, and now she also fell asleep next to him.

Fang Shujing stood up and looked at his delicate lips that were kissed, and kissed him again, but she didn't want to wake him up.

He was sweating a little from the intoxication just now and woke up very quickly. He went out to Erjin's yard and saw Old Man Liu holding a small hawthorn in the sun. He took some of the medicine he had taken before and sunbathed it again.

Little Haw was a little happy to see Fang Shujing. Old Man Liu said, "Where's Liu'er? Let him come and learn too."

Fang Shujing said, "He's resting when he's tired. Call him again tomorrow."

Old Man Liu looked at Fang Shujing . Shujing was feeling a little irritable. His little apprentice was always well-behaved and diligent and never slept during the day. It must have been him who bullied me again.

Fang Shujing said: "He just came back from overseas. He is tired." This excuse made Old Liu doubtful and he didn't say anything else.

Fang Shujing said: "I'm going to go out and play with the little hawthorn for a while." This fat little boy is cute to hold, but he gets tired after holding it for a while.

Old man Liu said: "I'm not tired."

He likes to take his little disciple out to play, and the little hawthorn will be very popular after he returns to the village. Mrs. Fang always wanted to come over and hug her. He doesn't agree with everyone trying to snatch her away from him. It's so fun to hold a baby!

Fang Shujing saw that he was speaking with great energy and said, "Well, I'll go to the front yard. If you need anything, just call me." Old Liu's health has improved since he came back!

There is spiritual spring water in the water tank at his house. The dose is very small, but you can use it for eating and drinking. This spiritual spring water will slowly make your body better.

Old Man Liu had never used Lingquan water before, so the change was particularly obvious. Even Liu Yechen secretly told Fang Shujing that his master's face was now glowing red.

He is the most important person to Liu Yechen, and he also hopes that the old man will be healthy.

Fang Shujing went to the front hall and saw Aunt Wang carrying some dried vegetables to talk to Xu Quan.

Xu Quan is also a small steward on weekdays, but when Fang Shujing is not around, he is somewhat majestic. But now his face was red, and he didn't know what he was plotting. When he turned around and saw Fang Shujing, he was startled.

Aunt Wang also urged: "Go ahead and say it."

Xu Quan was like driving a duck to the shelf. When he got in front of Fang Shujing, he opened his mouth several times, but stopped talking. This made Fang Shujing a little curious.

Fang Shujing asked: "What's the matter?" Although the two of them are master and servant, they have always regarded Xu Quan as a younger brother for so many years.

Xu Quan said: "I...I..."

Aunt Wang has a quick temper. She would not be anxious when she saw him like this. If she had spoken for Xu Quan before because of her temperament, but now Fang Shujing is the master of judicial affairs, there is such a person Even with her high-level status, she didn't dare to make any mistakes, so she had to worry about it behind the scenes.

Xu Quan seemed to feel the pressure from Aunt Wang, and his heart skipped a beat. Fang Shujing said, "Master, I want to get married."

Fang Shujing was stunned after hearing this. Xu Quan is only sixteen years old this year. Although he is old enough to get married in the village, he is still treated as a child. I was a little curious in my heart, and I didn't know which girl could make Xu Quan have this idea. There was a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Oh?"

Xu Quan's cheeks suddenly turned red, and his usual eloquent energy was gone. At this moment, I was blushing and didn't know what to say.

Like a gourd with a sawed mouth.

Aunt Wang next to her couldn't hold it in any longer, and the other party Shujing said: "Master Juren, he is talking about my niece." Aunt

Wang had wanted to bring them together before, and Xu Quan was like a rabbit when he heard about it. It will be over if you let it go. Marriage has to be agreed upon by both of you. You can't just break up if you don't drink water and force your head to be pressed.

Her niece is really pitiful. My biological mother is gone and she is bullied by my stepmother. It's a good thing that their mother's family is more powerful, otherwise the niece would have been eaten alive by those two people. Life was not good for everyone in the past, but now there is a wood furniture factory, and the Fang family is kind and provides so many workers' shoes, socks, and clothes. You have to do it all, and sometimes you get some work. Although it's hard work, you can still make some money. Just like that, Aunt Wang took the people out and made some money for sewing and mending.

Originally, the matchmaking didn't work out, but this time the two of them didn't get it together yet somehow they managed to get better. If you can be with Xu Quan, you will really fly into the branches. Xu Quan is illiterate and has Fang Shujing's trust. Although Fang Shujing calls him Young Master, his slave status has been cancelled. Being with him is definitely better than finding a farmer.

Aunt Wang was anxious. Since the two of them were getting along, she should settle the matter quickly and save herself from long nights and long dreams.

Xu Quan wanted to mention it, but the young master had just come back and wanted to wait for a while before talking. He was still a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say. Today, Aunt Wang asked him a little anxiously.

The young master was going to take office, and he would be busy with many things. He wanted to talk about this matter quickly, but when it came to him, it was like pouring dumplings into a teapot, but he couldn't say a word. came out.

Fang Shujing could tell that this was his intention. She said to Aunt Wang: "We know about this."

Aunt Wang smiled heartily and said: "My niece is really a good person at home and abroad, but her life is a bit harder. If you marry us, we will share the bride price. No." After saying that, "I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

After he left, Fang Shujing said to Xu Quan, "If you really like it, go and apply for it. This is a great thing. "Then looking at Xu Quan, I was filled with emotion. The person who grew up with him has now grown up.

Xu Quan's face turned redder and redder, and he said, "It all depends on the young master." It was obviously his own wish, but Fang Shujing couldn't help but chuckle. This Xu Quan...

He still has to go to the Fang family's old house. It would be most appropriate for his mother to come forward to propose marriage. Nowadays, everyone is willing to call Mrs. Fang the lucky person when they get married. Not to mention my own affairs.

When Mrs. Fang heard about the incident between Xu Quan and Aunt Wang's niece, she looked like a gossip: "When did this happen?" The two of them were so secretive that she didn't even know. Then he smiled and said: "Aunt Wang's niece is also very nice. She looks very quiet."

Fang Shujing said: "I'm sorry to bother you, mother. I have always regarded Xu Quan as my younger brother. You can take care of it. Be sure to be careful. It's so beautiful."

Fang also loves Zhang Luo and loves fun. When she heard what Fang Shujing said, she said, "Just leave this matter to your mother." Then he said, "I have to buy four boxes of gifts quickly. Go to the matchmaker." She also likes Xu Quan very much. He is very measured in doing things at a young age.

The village is not big, and any news will be spread throughout the village immediately. It didn't take long before I heard about Fang's appointment to Xu Quan.

Everyone wanted to have a good relationship with someone from the Fang family, but why did they forget about Xu Quan, and someone else got there first.

Chapter 90 Taking office

Xiuhe is the girl that Xu Quan likes. Now the matchmaker is praising Xu Quan outside. She is so shy when she listens inside that her ears are red, and her heart is pounding when she thinks of him.

She had spoken to Xu Quan several times, and it was inevitable that an unmarried man and an unmarried woman would have other thoughts. Now that her wish had come true, all she knew was that she was blushing and her heart was beating, and she couldn't say a word.

Xiao Wang said: "I think Xu Quan is quite good, and his family background is simple." She said this with a sigh of relief. When she got married, she and her husband were in love, but she couldn't help her mother-in-law and her sister-in-law suddenly causing trouble. , as time goes by, that little bit of kindness has been worn away long ago.

Since she was divorced and returned to her parents' home, she heard that her husband had a powerful wife, and the family was quarreling every day. Even she had heard about it in Qingshui Village. In the past, her mother was afraid that she would worry about something and didn't dare to say it in front of him, but in fact, she was worried too much. Now she is making clothes and working as a small manager, talking and laughing with a group of people every day, and her life is more comfortable than when she got married. a bit.

For example, Xu Quan felt comfortable when both his parents died and he had no mother-in-law or daughter-in-law to control him.

Xiuhe whispered: "I just don't know if my father will agree."

Little Wang was a little surprised: "I guess he won't agree." According to what her mother said, such a good marriage could not be found even with a lantern. But she stopped talking when she thought about her family's situation. She had a stepmother and a stepfather, and she couldn't figure it out for a while.

Seeing that she looked uneasy, Xiao Wang said to her, "Don't worry, my mother is here."

Xiuhe nodded.

After a while, Mrs. Wang came back and couldn't help but pursed her lips with joy. She took a bean paste bun in her hand and said, "Here, a serious bean paste bun with white flour." In the countryside, the bean paste bun is considered a snack: "Xu Quan gave it. Yours, look at how considerate she is, she already knows how to deal with her daughter-in-law before she even comes through the door!"

Xiuhe's face was filled with embarrassment again, and she said, "Aunt, sister, you go ahead and eat."

Now even the little Wang family is interested . He joked at him: "This is given to you, how can we be embarrassed to eat it?"

Xiuhe was still thinking about this matter, but he didn't care about being shy, and knelt down directly towards Aunt Wang, saying: "Aunt, you are My savior. If it weren't for you, I would have been tortured to death by my stepmother... My biological mother died early, and you are my biological mother in my heart. Now I am afraid that they will do something wrong again. "

Aunt Wang quickly pulled her niece up and said, "Silly boy, get up. Seeing you reminds me of my miserable sister. She has been poor all her life and has been taken advantage of by others. " Aunt Wang said: "I'll go talk to your father."

Xiuhe wanted to follow, but Xiao Wang held her back and said: "My mother is great. As long as she is here, just wait for the good news."

Although Xiuhe was thinking about it in her heart , but I had no choice but to wait quietly at home, for fear of delaying my aunt.

She is a good at sewing, but she has been very uneasy since Aunt Wang left. In a short time, she has pricked her hand several times. Xiao Wang said: "Don't do it yet. If my mother doesn't come back, you silly girl will have your finger smashed."

Xiuhe said: "I don't know what they said over there. I'm afraid that my aunt will suffer." "I feel wronged."

Xiao Wang said, "No." Her mother has always been sharp-tongued and willing to take risks. She has no rivals in the countryside.

Xiuhe was always thinking about this matter. She was fine during the day, but at night she was restless.

Finally, the person I had been waiting for so much came back.

As soon as Aunt Wang came in, she took Xiuhe's hand and said, "Good boy, this is done." She had lost a lot of energy.

It's really pretty much what everyone thinks. Xiuhe's father's brain is different from that of normal people. Normally he would be overjoyed to get into such a good marriage, but when he knew the news, the first thing he asked was how much gift he could give.

Mrs. Wang scolded him for wanting money without caring about her daughter's lifelong happiness. Today, Mrs. Fang and the matchmaker came and took three taels of silver and four boxes of gifts, which were taken away.

I know that this family was jealous of money. At first they only offered to give her one tael of silver, but after some bargaining, they gave her three taels of silver. They also said that they were not compatible with Xiuhe and asked her to get married at Aunt Wang's house without any dowry.

He did it so brilliantly that he didn't leave any room to see how he wanted to break up with Xiuhe.

Instead of being caught by her father, Wang went to their village chief to testify and wrote a document. Save them and make trouble again when they see that life is going well. Of course, there is no need to tell my niece these messy things, I just want to say that things are done.

...

Liu Yechen secretly looked at Xu Quan. He and Fang Shujing both regarded Xu Quan as their child. Unexpectedly, he found himself a wife and said, "That's a good thing."

Xu Quan was embarrassed.

Fang Shujing said to Xu Quan: "You have been with me for so long, I will give you thirty taels of silver." Then he said: "When you get married, you will be an adult, and you will live a good life in the future. I will go a long way when I take office this time, you guys If you want to get married, don't travel with us. If you have the ability, you can use the money to open a store and start a small business." He had taken Xu Quan's deed to cancel his slave status. I have been free for a long time, and there is no need to endure hardships with him through thick and thin.

When Xu Quan heard this, he burst into tears and said, "Master, if it weren't for you, I would still be alive now. I would be willing to die for you. If we get married, we have to separate from the master. I would rather not get married."

Fang Shujing Said: "What nonsense are you talking about."

Liu Yechen said: "Okay, you are an adult who is getting married, and you don't want to cry like this."

Xu Quan wiped away his tears randomly, looking a little aggrieved.

Fang Shujing really regarded him as his younger brother. Seeing him like this, he felt a little emotional and said, "Okay, if you want to follow, then you can follow."

After hearing this, Xu Quan burst into tears and smiled.

Fang Shujing is leaving and has little time to stay in the village. Xu Quan's marriage must be arranged as soon as possible. Aunt Wang is also afraid that Xiuhe's biological father and stepmother will cause trouble. Getting married early will save them long nights and dreams. The two families hit it off and keep everything simple. When they married a new daughter-in-law, Fang Shujing and Liu Yechen officiated the wedding for them, and Xiao Haw made a bed for them.

Everyone in the village said that Xu Quan was the only one with such great reputation.

Although everything was kept simple, we still set up a flowing table for a day.

Although the people in Qingshui Village are living a better life, they don't like to eat meat whenever they want. In other words, the Fang family generously prepared ten dishes, six meat dishes and four vegetarian dishes. I can eat things that I couldn't usually eat now.

The house has been busy all day.

Fang Shujing was very willing to stop the drinking in person. It is a custom in the village to irrigate the groom. But who dares to educate the master? So Xu Quan escaped smoothly.

He slipped away early, and the banquet outside was still going on. Fang Shujing returned to the house early. Xu Quan has his own house, so the marriage will be at his place.

It feels quite amazing to have someone in the family getting married. Fang Shujing had just drank two glasses of wine and wanted to hug the little hawthorn, but the little hawthorn wouldn't follow him.

The soft son knew how to rub himself into Liu Yechen's arms.

Fang Shujing was disliked by Xiao Haw several times, and he lost his temper after being tortured. I had no choice but to take a sip of tea and press it down.

Then he pinched his son's little ears with his hands.

Little Hawthorn complained to Liu Yechen.

Fang Shujing said: "This brat is quite smart. He was very good when I held him before. Now he has someone to support him in your arms."

Liu Yechen also found his little hawthorn very interesting. He was only a little big but very smart: "Son, don't bully daddy."

"Ah." Zaizai became much more well-behaved in his arms.

Fang Shujing said: "This child is so clingy, is he going to sleep?"

Liu Yechen suddenly realized that the children originally had to sleep at noon, but today the adults are busy and there is no chance to catch the little hawthorn. sleep. Now being fierce and clingy is actually just sleepy.

After being reminded by Fang Shujing, Liu Yechen coaxed the child to sleep. Little Hawthorn fell asleep after a while, and he was gently placed in his crib.

Fang Shujing said: "I am very happy today." Xu Quan has grown up now that he is married.

His affairs were all taken care of by Fang Shujing and Liu Yechen. Although they got married in a hurry, they had all the things they should have. There were blowing and beating on the sedan chair to welcome the bride, the Double Happiness stickers on the doors and windows, and the banquet outside the red bride and groom's uniforms. It can be regarded as sending two people into the bridal chamber.

Fang Shujing suddenly remembered an important thing that he had forgotten: "Have you put pressure on the bottom of the box for him?"

Liu Yechen blushed all of a sudden. The so-called pressure on the bottom of the box is a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water. Regardless of whether they are men or women, they are taught by someone before they get married.

Xu Quan has no parents, so this matter naturally fell on him and he forgot about it.

Liu Yechen said: "No. You...you didn't say anything either."

Fang Shujing said: "Forget it, all men know about this kind of thing."

Liu Yechen hummed.

Fang Shujing looked at his daughter-in-law and suddenly asked curiously: "When you got married to me, the master was not with you. Did anyone teach you?"

Liu Yechenteng's face turned even redder: "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." He replied as he spoke When I got to the bed, I turned my back, my face was extremely hot.

...

Early the next morning, Xu Quan and Xiuhe got up early to kowtow to Fang Shujing. Fang Shujing gave them several exquisite small silver ingots to put in their wallets as red envelopes.

Only then did they see that Xu Quan's wife was very gentle and generous, she didn't speak loudly, and her oval face looked very blessed.

Originally, Fang Shujing had wanted to leave for a long time, but Xu Quan and the others had just gotten married, so they postponed the trip for a few days. Let them live in the village for a longer time.

Finally packed up and left.

This time I left while the village was cooking. Their family has already attracted much attention, and they are afraid that it will attract even more attention.

A total of three carriages were loaded with everyone's clothes and things, most of which were small hawthorn rice noodles.

The food they planted this year will be harvested soon. I have already discussed with my family to grind half of the rice into rice flour.

They planted five acres of grain, and Fang Shujing did not have to pay taxes because of his fame. He produced so much grain and had it ground into rice flour. I knew he was spoiling the child, but I didn't expect him to be able to spoil the child so well. How much does that cost? Twenty more children wouldn't be able to finish the meal.

But Fang also agreed, and Shujing followed suit when it came to spoiling her children.

They drove along. Because there were old people and children, there was no hurry along the way. Basically, you can just find a hotel to rest after a day trip. Taking a look at the local features and scenery feels like a trip.

What was originally a three-day journey ended up taking eight days before we finally arrived in Yangping County. I heard that cloth is produced here. But Fang Shujing frowned as soon as he entered the city. The people on the street were very shabby and the whole city looked gray. It seemed like a desolate countryside, which was not supposed to be the case. How could a product as unique as fabric here be so shabby? This was not consistent with the news he had received before.

They went directly to the county government office, which seemed to be well prepared. A chubby master said: "Greetings, Mr. Fang. I'm busy with official duties and I didn't have time to get away to greet you personally. Please forgive me."

He said it very humbly. Fang Shujing hummed and didn't say much. He didn't know what this person meant. He didn't know if he was really busy with official duties or if he was giving him a blow.

The master kept saying sorry, but he was also very surprised when he saw Fang Shujing. I heard he was young, but I didn't expect him to be so young. It is really rare for a master in his twenties to come directly to become an official.

Then he said to him: "We have prepared the master's mansion." He said: "You come with me." Walking all the way to a place not far from the county government office, there was a brand new mansion. When you walked in, it was very big. The decoration is also magnificent. There are all kinds of porcelain furniture in the house, but everything is new!

Little Hawthorn sneezed, and then screamed in dissatisfaction.

Fang Shujing knew that his children had been purified by the spiritual spring and had extremely sensitive noses. His family was in the lumber business, and it took a long time to dry the paint. If the surface was dry but the inside was not dry, it would be bad for the child.

Fang Shujing said: "Children don't like sleeping in a new place, is there anything else?"

The master's smile froze on his face, but he didn't expect that the place he had carefully prepared would not be rewarded. But now that Fang Shujing had spoken, he had no choice but to look elsewhere: "Yes..." He urgently found a place. It was a small courtyard with two entrances. It looked very similar to the house they lived in Qingshui Village. Everyone Let's rest here for now. "

Fang Shujing wanted to inquire about things in Yangping County and asked them to clean up their home first. Fang Shujing said: "Where was the former county magistrate's residence? "

At first glance, this place was torn down and rebuilt!

The master smiled flatteringly and said: "The previous county magistrate committed a crime and was afraid that you would offend the taboo, so he demolished it and rebuilt it. "Officials are very superstitious about Feng Shui.

"Oh? What have you committed? "Fang Shujing asked.

"Corruption. "The master said, this is not a secret. Instead of letting others tell it, it is better for him to tell it, so as to please the new young county magistrate: "One hundred thousand taels were embezzled. "

When Fang Shujing heard this number, his pupils suddenly shrank.
