Counting the silver that came in the account every day, Tong Xue happily called Xu Wenyuan over, "Wenyuan, you said that this Qingyang Mansion is far away, and your eldest brother and I can't walk over, I'm thinking, should our family buy a cow?" ”

"Huh?" Xu Wenda didn't expect that Tong Xue suddenly wanted to buy cattle, and he was stunned for a while. `

Tong Xue inquired about the distance from here to Qingyang Mansion, and roughly estimated that it would take two or three hours to drive, and if you walk, you will die.

Tong Xue wasn't sure if Xu Wenda could walk, but she definitely couldn't, she remembered that there was a camping exercise on the last day of military training in high school, and she had to walk to a place, and it was only half an hour's drive, Tong Xue already felt that her leg was going to break, let alone that it was so far away.

If there was no transportation, Tong Xue would really cry, so she naturally thought of the ox cart, "When the time comes, we can save a lot of effort and save time by finding someone to make an ox cart." ”

Xu Wenda knows his own family affairs, after all, his eldest brother has been recovering from a long illness, "The ox cart is too slow, I'm afraid it will take a whole day to go to Qingyang Mansion, I get out early in the morning, and I can't stop traveling all day, and I may not be able to reach Qingyang Mansion before sunset." ”

Tong Xue of the ox cart has still seen it, Tong Xue was quite small at that time, but the degree of walking is not much worse than that of the ox cart, walking a few steps faster, you can car.

People who are in a hurry, the most worried is to spend the night at night, Tong Xue said, "People work harder, but secondary, mainly because it's so late, life is not familiar, I'm afraid it's not easy to find a place to rest.?" `c?om”

Xu Wenyuan continued, "And now is really not a good season to buy cattle, it is about to enter winter, we are not prepared, there is not so much forage to raise it, it is better to buy it next year." ”

Tong Xue has never raised this kind of thing, so she doesn't know too much, but Xu Wenyuan is the person in this family who knows all kinds of farming best, and what he said should make sense, so he nodded. "That's just as well."

"Do you have a better idea?" Tong Xue actually wants to take a carriage more, compared with the ox cart, this is the difference between high-speed rail and ordinary express, and the degree and grade are immediately different. Although you can afford it, will it be too ostentatious, "Is it difficult to buy a horse?" It's not easy to raise, and you can't go to the field on weekdays, so it's much more expensive than a cow. ”

Xu Wenda's forehead jumped. Tong Xue, the sister-in-law, has many novel and effective ideas, not like people in the village at all, but sometimes she seems to be extremely lacking in common sense, such as now. I didn't see anyone worrying about buying a carriage in order to go to Qingyang Mansion.

Xu Wenda said, "I'll go to the county town and ask to see how much it costs to rent a carriage, but if I go to Qingyang Mansion for a day, I shouldn't need too much silver." ”

"Okay. ?.?? `c?om”

In fact, there is not much to prepare. The two of them don't have much luggage, as long as they determine the itinerary on the road, the rest of the thing is to bring enough coils.

Needless to say, these days, the Xu family can receive two taels of silver every day, and they have saved dozens of taels this month.

Although in the past few days, the heat of this lo-mei has slowly begun to get colder, but it is more than enough to go to Qingyang Mansion for the exam.

Xu Wenda has been living with his younger siblings since his father and mother passed away, and has never left home. Leaving this time, Tong Xue still followed him, and two adults left this family at once, and Xu Wenda was still a little worried.

Xu Wenda called Xu Wenyuan into the room and spoke for a long time. "Wen Yuan, you are also an adult, if you stay in someone else's house, you will also reach the age when you should get married. When I leave this time, your sister-in-law will follow me, and the family will rely on you for this time. ”

Xu Wenyuan nodded seriously. "Big brother, don't worry, I will definitely take care of my younger brothers and sisters."

Tong Xue also grabbed Xu Wan's hand on the other side and explained when and how to do things at home, although Xu Wan also followed her to do these things on weekdays. But during this period of getting along, Tong Xue has already taken on the role of sister-in-law, and before leaving, she is still a little uneasy, so she can only ask Xu Wan.

Tong Xue picked off the first green vegetables, and then fried the dishes, "Come, let's taste it today, we have been busy for so long, and the result is that this little green vegetable is tender and crispy, not worse than the one harvested in summer." ”

Tong Xue gave Xu Wenda a chopstick dish, Xu Wenda tasted it, and raised his fingers, "It's great." ”

Early the next morning, Tong Xue and Xu Wenda left and went to the place agreed with the carriage.

When I woke up, a pound was almost in Qingyang Mansion.

When they arrived at Qingyang Mansion, the two didn't have the time to take a look at the situation in Qingyang Mansion first, but went straight to the inn.

Recently, there are many students from all over Qingyang Mansion, because of the abundance of silver, Xu Wenda and Tong Xue have come two days in advance, but many inns are still full, and the price of the inn has also been raised accordingly because of the large demand.

Tong Xue brought enough silver, so naturally she would not be wronged, and she chose one in the inn with vacant rooms, one hundred and twenty a day, not cheap, but the conditions looked good, Tong Xue paid for the room for three days first.

At this time, another person walked in following in the footsteps of Tong Xue and Xu Wenda, looking at a scholar, carrying a big book basket, wrapping his head in a square scarf, the cloth shirt on his body looked clean, but the blue robe had been washed white, it was really a little shabby, and he looked like he should also be a student who came to take the exam.

The first junior in the store looked at this scholar, and his expression was a little cold, after all, this scholar really didn't look like a person who could afford the rent.

Originally, this Qingyang Mansion was full of scholars in the past few days, which was not surprising, and Tong Xue didn't notice this person at first.

But just when Tong Xue turned around and was about to go upstairs with Xu Wenda, she heard the scholar say, "Hello, my surname is Du, may I ask if there is a Zheng Gongzi who has booked a room for me?" ”

The shopkeeper in the store asked, "But our Zheng Gongzi in the Outer Mansion of Zheng Yuan?" ”

The scholar surnamed Du nodded, "Exactly." ”

Tong Xue and Xu Wenda both glanced back at the scholar surnamed Du, and then the two glanced at each other, I don't know if the Zheng Gongzi that these two people said in their mouths is the one who gave Xu Wan?

"This son is Du Jianqiu," the shopkeeper saw Du Jianqiu nodding, and immediately said with a smile, "Zheng Gongzi has already paid a month's fixed fee, and I will take you there." ”

Back in the room, Tong Xue just put down the luggage and said, "Xianggong, you said, did they just say that it was Wan'er's husband's family?" (To be continued.) )
