Chapter 41: New Year's Greetings
"Huh?" Liu Chengshuang was stunned for a long time, and couldn't help crying, "What did I do in my last life!" Punish me like this in this life! child, don't cry, we've completely cut off contact with the people over there! I, I, when I'm well, I'll get justice for you! ”
Yun Xiang didn't speak, she saw that the two of them were almost venting, so she stepped forward and comforted, "Dad, mother, don't cry." Let's talk about things slowly in the future, you still have to take care of this one in your stomach first. ”
Zhou slowly calmed down, "Yunxiang, tomorrow you will go to the county to find a broker and buy land!" Buy a shop! The more they look down on me and treat us as mud, the more we have to live a good life! Wait until we are better than them, and see how dare them! ”
Yun Xiang was happy in her heart, she asked the family to keep a low profile, also because Zhou and Liu Chengshuang were too soft, and they would inevitably be bullied by just a few children. After this incident, the Zhou family hardened up first, and then they could slowly let people know about their family's situation.
Shiro clenched his fists, "I can't say, we will soon have more land than the old mansion." If they sit for a few more months, the money family will far surpass them. But they have a child, and they will even become a showman after the New Year! We still can't compare to others! I, I ......"
"Brother!" Yun Xiang knew that Gorou was under pressure, "After three years, you will definitely be able to be so smart and diligent." ”
"But it's going to take three years......"
Yun Xiang smiled, "Don't worry, Liu Chengquan may not be able to pass the test this time." If you work hard, there will be a children's test in February next year, and you can give it a try. If you pass the exam and Liu Chengquan doesn't, aren't you the same? ”
This is different from the ancient times of the previous life, and there is no eight-strand text, and after the county test and the government test, you can be called a child. The content of the county test is actually a test of memory. The form is the Sutra, similar to the fill-in-the-blank of later generations. To put it simply, the examiner arbitrarily selects one page of the scriptures, covers the left and right words with two sheets of paper, opens a line in the middle, and cuts another paper to paste and cover the numbers, so that the examiner can write it. The government test is Moyi, taking sentences from the Confucian classics for the test taker to answer, or asking for the meaning of the sentence, or asking for the next sentence, or asking for the answer to be annotated, similar to today's noun explanation or short answer questions. If you pass the hospital examination again, you will become a showman. The content of the college examination is a little more difficult, and it is necessary to test essays and questions.
According to Shiro's memory ability, there is absolutely no problem with the county test, but the prefectural test is more difficult, but it doesn't matter, Yunxiang can explain the meaning of words and sentences to Shiro, and it is not too difficult to understand. As long as Shiro can remember, there is absolutely no problem in being a child.
"Brother, in this way, from today onwards, in addition to teaching you to read and write, I will also explain articles to you every night. If it works, let's try it in three months! "Yun Xiang is very confident, it's just a few books, you can give it a try. The big deal is that from today onwards, increase the concentration of the spiritual spring water for Shiro to drink to help him improve his memory. Yun Xiang didn't know at this time that he would create a genius who would never forget it, but he was just thinking about how to spur Shiro and by the way, Liu Chengquan would not be able to show off his talents.
Within her ability, Yun Xiang does not rule out the way of killing people directly, don't forget where she came from. However, there were many masters in ancient times, and it was easy to affect her family if she made a mistake, so she wouldn't do that unless she had to.
Next month's rouge was delivered in advance, and Yunxiang devoted herself to teaching. Shiro himself is also very hardworking, even if everyone advises him not to rush for a while, he is not willing to waste a little time. There is no way, Yunxiang can only make more extra meals for Shiro. Xiao Wu was infected by this atmosphere, and of course he was also tempted by the small stove opened for Shiro, so he joined in the study. It's just that the homework that Yunxiang assigned him was relatively simple, and the amount was small.
Yun Xiang bought fifty acres of land at the foot of Izumo Mountain, which used to be the land of a large family, but later the family moved away, and the others were either too far away, or felt that it was not safe to rely on Izumo Mountain, so they were unwilling to buy it, so it happened to be cheaper Yun Xiang.
These 50 acres of land were originally high-quality fields, but because they were abandoned for a few years, they could only be sold as medium-sized fields. Six taels of silver per acre, a total of three hundred taels of silver. So Yun Xiang went to the town and bought a shop with a good location, the size of four rooms, two floors up and down, with a small backyard, there is a well in the yard, there are more than ten wings, and it cost two hundred and eighty taels of silver. I spent 120 taels to buy a two-room shop, and there was only five main rooms in the back, and two rooms in the east and west wings. Without exception, these lands and shops all have Zhou's name written on them, and Zhou looked at them happily for a long time and then asked Yunxiang to put them away.
After the New Year, the family's dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve was extremely rich. Pheasant stewed mushrooms, sweet and sour fish, pork ribs in sauce, braised hare, honeycomb corn, shredded sweet potato, ground three fresh, stewed tenderloin, are all Yunxiang's specialty dishes. Yun Xiang took out a bottle of the most ordinary wine from the space and poured it into the wine jug, and the whole family ate a mouthful of oil, sighing that his current life is like a dream.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yun Lian, Shiro, Yun Xiang and Xiao Wu went out with gifts. Two pheasants, a hare, a basket of eggs, a jar of wine, and Yun Xiang also took four boxes of rouge. They are going to the fourth grandfather's house to pay New Year's greetings. Yunxiang's family is grateful to the fourth grandfather's family for lending a helping hand in their most difficult time, and now that life is better, they naturally want to express it.
A few of the children went out early, because they were afraid that they would meet other people in the village who would make irresponsible comments. didn't know that he happened to be seen by a mother-in-law brought by Erlang's daughter-in-law, and hurriedly went back to report to Chen Xiumei.
Chen Xiumei is just about to get up, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, every family has to get up early, it doesn't matter if she is casual on weekdays, today I have to go to my parents-in-law early to say hello.
"What's going on? Hurry! Chen Xiumei glared at the woman, "If you have something to say, just say it!" ”
The mother-in-law smiled flatteringly, "Miss, I saw a few little cubs in the third room take those old things to the fourth old lady's house. ”
Chen Xiumei sneered, "What can I take?" They're all poor like that! Chen Xiumei continued to groom without care, she was not interested in that family at all, and she had no conflict of interest with herself.
"You said they went to the fourth old lady's house?" Jiro lifted the curtain and walked in, looking uneasy.
