Chapter 129
Zhulan brought everything. The county decided whether to take four or five county exams, so Zhou Shuren had to stay at least five nights. He must bring thick quilts, at least three sets of clothes, and thick shoes.
The exams in the north are really tricky. The weather in February of the lunar calendar is still very cold. The special exam room in the county is not indoors. Although there is no pigeon cage pit for the rural exam, it is not much better. Facing south and north, the north courtyard is also a dragon gate. The house at the back is waiting to be called, with the aisle in the middle, the examiner is in the west, and the roll call is in the east. There are simple side-by-side seats in the north, and the simple examination shed is the seat for the candidates.
So it is very ventilated, and it is not easy to keep the roll surface clean and the handwriting neat. The advantage of the south comes out. Since it is not as cold as the north, the exam can be a little more at ease.
Zhulan really learned a lot of knowledge, secretly praying that there will be no wind these few days!
After breakfast, Zhulan checked her luggage again. Zhou Shuren checked the pen, ink, paper and inkstone by herself, and finally confirmed that she had brought the purse and money. Zhou Shuren and the other patriarch's ox cart arrived, and finally shook Zhulan's hand, "Wait for my good news."
Zhulan felt at ease when the exam was coming, "Don't be harsh on yourself, go out to eat whatever you want, I brought you twenty taels, don't be reluctant to spend it."
Zhou Shuren, "Well, I'm not at home, so you go to bed early."
Seeing the patriarch's grandson's wide-eyed look, the sons of the Zhou family thought to themselves that it was rare and strange, and no one in the village knew how much their father cared about their mother.
Zhulan didn't follow to the county. There were not only Zhou Shuren himself in the ox cart, but also two candidates from two foreign countries. The ox cart seemed crowded, and when the people left, Zhulan went back to the house.
Zhou Er Er pulled off his wife's sleeve, Mrs. Zhao nodded in understanding, went back to the house and carried her son into the main room.
Boss Zhou can see clearly that he has been educated by his father's beating style, and he is no longer a person who only looks at the surface. Although he can't listen to the six ways and see all directions, he has also paid attention to the details that should be paid attention to. Unexpectedly, in my impression The cowardly and crying siblings are also human beings, and they feel overwhelmed. They are the least intelligent couple in the entire Zhou family!
Seeing Mrs. Zhao coming with the baby in her arms, Zhulan picked it up. The little grandson Mingrui is more than two months old. Mrs. Zhao's milk is good. The baby's arms are like lotus root joints, and Zhulan's fingers are being held by the little baby. , teased the child, and said to Mrs. Zhao who was doing needlework: "It looks like it's going to be a hundred days, and my dad and I don't want to do it."
Zhou Shuren will also tell Chang Yi about this, it doesn't matter whether she talks to Zhao Shi or not, but she is a woman who understands women better, so it's better to say it in person to avoid embarrassment in her heart.
The needle and thread in Mrs. Zhao’s hand almost pricked her hand. The third father-in-law is not at home, only the grandmother’s. The full moon coincides with the New Year’s Eve and it’s the coldest time. The in-laws don’t seem to want to see their family, and I think that other poor families in the village rarely do anything except wash three full moons, but I still feel uncomfortable, the family is not a difficult family, and Mingyun and Mingteng have done it, low Nodding her head, "Listen mother."
Zhulan raised her eyebrows and knew it would be like this, looked at the unwilling tone, and explained: "The child is really wronged Mingrui if he doesn't do it for a hundred days, but it's not suitable to be high-profile when he catches up with your father's house, we mean the family will have a meal." If it’s good, it’s lively at home, and we’ll hold a big one when the child turns one year old.”
Mrs. Zhao was excited. The couple had confidence in their father-in-law to be a scholar. There were more people waiting for his father-in-law to become a scholar. Moreover, Mingrui could get more attention because he was the first grandson of his father-in-law to become a scholar. If you catch something with a good meaning, it will definitely strengthen the son's position in the parents-in-law's heart, "Mother, Mingrui is not wronged, and we have no objection."
She doesn't have to think about it. The elder brother's two boys are big, and the parents-in-law like it very much. There is too much age difference between her own and the two older ones. The son is at a disadvantage because of his age. She doesn't think that his son is the youngest grandson, Changlian and Changlian. Zhizhi is not married yet, she only hopes that her son can be loved by his parents-in-law just like his daughter.
Mrs. Li came back after going out for a stroll, very excited, "Mother, dirty water was poured on the door of Wang Laosi's house."
