Su Tong meant that he himself was also on the list of those who passed the first game. Shen Xi couldn't help but say a few words of congratulations, but Su Tong behaved very reservedly and was not ostentatious at all.

Shen Xi passed the first game or was not a big upset, but Su Tong himself was a popular candidate for the head of the case, he had always been known for his good learning among his peers, and now there is nothing to boast about in a passing test.

Originally, Shen Xi felt that there were not one hundred but eighty people who passed the government examination this time, who knew that after this first game, there would be only one hundred people left among the more than 1,000 people, and there were still 80 people among the 100 people who wanted to participate in the recruitment and repetition, Shen Xi thought to himself, this Kozhi Mansion is really trouble-free.

Looking at this posture, it is likely that the number of scholars who passed the prefectural examination in the end was only fifty, as well as the county exam.

On the way back from Su Tong and Shen Xi, there were many candidates scolding there, roughly saying that the current prefect is inconsiderate of scholars and does not take more Yunyun.

"The exam questions are the same, the opportunities are equal, even if they can pass the government exam, they hang the bottom of the list, they just spend money to take the exam, and in the end, they can't even get a student. The Kochi government did this for their good. ”

Although Su Tong was polite to Shen Xi, he seemed to be a little dismissive of these unsuccessful scholars. Shen Xi disagreed with this statement: "Even if the government can't pass the exam, they still have to spend travel expenses every year to come to the mansion to catch the exam." ”

Su Tong snorted coldly and didn't speak again, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Shen Xi's words. Shen Xi was not very familiar with Su Tong originally, and he had only met twice today, so he didn't mean to take the initiative to talk.

When they were about to separate, Su Tong suddenly asked, "Brother Shen, didn't you buy a few barbarian women in the first few days, and now they are still there?" ”

Shen Xi paused slightly, and then said: "It's true that I brought people home, but as for what to do, it's not up to me." ”

Su Tong smiled and nodded: "That's right, I originally wanted to ask you to borrow someone to take a look." ”

Shen Xi didn't think much about it, so he said goodbye to Su Tong, but on the way back, he began to mumble, what does it mean to "borrow someone to see"? There are only three Miao girls on the left and right. One of them is still a little girl, could it be that this surnamed Su has a special fetish?

On second thought, it's really possible.

Shen Xi felt a chill in his heart, to say that this Su Tong had already started a family. There are some evil thoughts that can be understood, but there are some things that should not be provoked on your head, it seems that it is better to worship ghosts and gods in the future, and you can't afford to hide.

Back at the pharmacy, Hui Niang, Zhou and others had been waiting for a long time.

It was just after noon. There were no customers in the pharmacy, and Shen Xi was pulled aside by the Zhou family as soon as he entered: "Bastard boy, I'm really used to being wild outside, your eldest brother has been back for a long time, why did you come back?" ”

"I'm ......" Shen Xi was dumbfounded by the question, he patronized and drank tea leisurely, forgetting that there were still a bunch of people at home anxiously waiting for news.

Hui Niang persuaded: "Sister, don't complain, Xiaolang, you ...... in this first scene"

Shen Xi sighed. He shook his head helplessly. Hui Niang's expression darkened, and she hurriedly squeezed out a smile again, and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay if you can't pass the exam, I heard that there are few people admitted to our Tingzhou government this year, and it may not be over next year." ”

Shen Xi smiled slightly: "I'm just pitiful for the candidates in Tingzhou Mansion, you said that only twenty people were admitted in this first game, but I was allowed to occupy a place, is it unfair to them?" ”

Zhou pondered Shen Xi's words carefully, and listened to them in a daze: "Bastard boy." Make the words clear. ”

Xie Yun'er's eyes lit up, and she pursed her lips and smiled: "The authorities are confused, the two sisters don't understand?" Xiao Lang said that he passed the first game. ”

Hui Niang and Zhou glanced at each other, and there was indescribable surprise on their faces. Hui Niang hurriedly lowered her head. Nervously pulled Shen Xi's sleeve and asked, "Xiaolang, seriously?" ”

"What's so deceitful about this, I did see my seat number, unless the government made a mistake, then it's not bad for me." Shen Xi spread his hands.

Zhou's finger pointed at Shen Xi's head: "Han Wa'er." You are really my mother's enemy, this is a blessing for several lifetimes, why did you pass the test? Could it be that the old lady of the Shen family appeared in the sky? ”

Zhou was already overexcited, and she pinched her arm violently when she turned back, thinking that it was a sweet dream, and it was time to wake up. Hui Niang said beautifully: "Sister, didn't my brother-in-law say it before, as soon as there is news from Xiaolang's side, quickly find someone to inform him...... Don't you want to inform your brother-in-law of such good news? ”

"Good, good. I'm going to ...... Oops, I forgot that there is another one in my stomach, this kid is probably happy, and he is actually kicking his mother. ”

As soon as Zhou was excited, she suddenly had a fetal gas, and several women hurriedly helped her to sit down, but she didn't seem to take care of herself, "Xiu'er, go and inform your uncle, just say that Hanwa'er has been hit...... Yo, it hurts my mother. ”

Shen Xi corrected: "Mother, the house test is passed, not the middle, and this is not the middle show." ”

"Phew. If you don't get into the show before you are twenty years old, see how the old lady cleans you up...... Xiu'er, why don't you go soon? ”

Zhou was so excited, it didn't matter if he was excited, his stomach suddenly hurt so much. However, this is a pharmacy, and there is a famous doctor from the capital next to it, so he is not afraid of going wrong. Xie Yun'er sat down, carefully checked Zhou's pulse, and said with a smile: "Sister, it's okay, just be a little calm." There is still more than half a month before delivery. ”

Zhou couldn't cry or laugh: "Such a big happy event, am I calm?" ”

Hui Niang pursed her lips and smiled, called Ning'er and Xiaoyu over, and helped Zhou to rest in the back hall. Shen Xi followed behind sullenly: "So, it's all my fault?" ”

Hui Niang scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, don't blame you, who do you blame?" You see how happy your mother is, if anything happens to your brother, you have to bear this responsibility. ”

Shen Xi pouted: "Maybe it's a sister......

As soon as Zhou heard this, he picked up the rag on the table and threw it at Shen Xi's head: "If you shout again, I won't let you eat!" ”

Shen Xi reached out and took the rag and threw it aside, still unimpressed. Shen Xi didn't eat at noon, and left it for him in the kitchen, Hui Niang was afraid that it would not be hot, so she personally cooked a fresh vegetable for Shen Xi. Shen Xi was treated like an emperor, and the whole family revolved around him.

Waiting for Hui Niang to fry the vegetables, she took out the plate around her apron and put it on the small table: "Eat slowly, do you know if you are hungry and come back sooner?" But it's a shame that you didn't come back, you must know that this is good news, and your mother and I probably won't be able to eat this lunch. ”

While talking, Shen Mingjun followed Xiu'er back, and when he arrived at the door of the backyard, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Lady." ”

Zhou is happy. Hurriedly stretched out his hand in front of Xiaoyu: "Help me quickly, oops, two sisters, don't accompany me more." I'll go back and talk to my father-in-law. ”

Hui Niang and Xie Yun'er both came over to help with the handle, and Shen Xi was going to go back, but before he finished eating, he stayed and muttered in a low voice: "It seems that I am the one who passed the house to try." Why don't you have me to go home? ”

Lin Dai supported her chin with her hands, watched Shen Xi eat, and said in her mouth: "Dad and mother are going to do things behind closed doors again, right?" ”

This is a bit too "childlike", even Xie Yun'er couldn't help laughing, Hui Niang said with a dark face: "The little girl's family, why do you ask so much?" ”

Shen Xi sighed: "My mother is about to give birth, and I can't do it if I want to." ”

At this time, Hui Niang let out a "tsk" of resentment in her mouth, and reached out and gently patted Shen Xi's head: "People are small and big!" ”

……

……

Because Shen Xi successfully passed the government examination, the two families were very happy. Originally, Hui Niang wanted to put a flowing water mat in the backyard. Feast on the neighborhood and share the good news. But because Shen Yongzhuo fell off the list, Shen Mingjun and his wife didn't want to be too public, so as not to make the Wang family's mother and son lose face.

After Zhou's reminder, after Hui Niang changed the time of setting up the flowing water seat to the last long case, in the end, Shen Xi has only passed the first game, and the ranking has not been officially arranged, and this house test is equivalent to not being completed. In fact, the most important thing is that considering that Shen Yongzhuo did not make the list, he will soon return to Ninghua with the Wang family. Wait until they're gone. There's nothing wrong with celebrating at home.

You can not invite to an external banquet, but you must have a lively meal at home, and you must eat well.

That night, Hui Niang didn't let the maids cook. Instead, let Xiu'er and Ning'er go to the restaurant in the city to book a good banquet, and let the chef prepare the dishes and bring them back in the food box, with all the chicken, duck and fish. This feast alone will cost one or two or two pieces of silver.

Zhou couldn't help but feel distressed when he heard this: "Sister, what are you doing, buy it back and get it yourself." It's much cheaper. ”

Hui Niang smiled: "It's okay, Xiaolang will only do this once in his life, and from now on, he doesn't have to take the county exam and the government exam again, just wait for Zhongxiu!" This is our little Wenqu star, a little hero in the family, and no one can treat him badly. ”

Lu Xi'er ran over and pestered Hui Niang: "Then only Brother Shen Xi can eat it, can't we eat it?" ”

Hui Niang smiled and wiped the ashes on her daughter's face: "I don't know if love is clean." Go wash your hands, and you can serve it in a while, but you are stained with Shen Xi's brother's light, you know? ”

"Okay."

Xiao Nizi jumped up and hurriedly went to the backyard to wash her hands, but Lin Dai was prescient, she had already washed and sat down, and even helped to serve tea and water, and set up dishes and chopsticks.

After sitting down, Hui Niang looked at Zhou: "Sister, do you want to call your brother-in-law over?" ”

Zhou waved his hand and said: "No, no, we are all women and children here, and it is inconvenient for him to come, not to mention ...... The sister of the Xie family is also there. ”

Hui Niang nodded, not reluctantly, but before eating, she still mentioned to Xie Yun'er: "Several matchmakers in the city have come over to propose marriage to their sister, and there are a few candidates, I think they are all very good, should my sister consider it?" ”

Xie Yun'er's expression was gloomy, and she shook her head and said, "Don't think about it for the time being, my grandfather and father are still in prison, and they have to be in charge of lifelong events." ”

Hui Niang sighed lightly, she could understand Xie Yun'er's state of mind, now that Xie Yun'er is dedicated to making money to support her family, how dare she be distracted to find her mother-in-law's family?

In the past, Xie Yun'er only had a component of red in the pharmacy, and the fixed monthly money was only ten taels of silver, and later Xie Yun'er took out some ancestral secret recipes of the Xie family and went to the pharmaceutical factory to prepare medicines, and Hui Niang distributed them to Xie Yun'er together with one percent of the income of the pharmaceutical factory.

Originally, part of the income of the pharmacy came from the pharmaceutical factory, and the pharmaceutical factory would also sell the finished medicine to other pharmacy, and even to those traveling merchants from the north and south, and the money made from it was no less than that of the pharmacy.

In this way, Xie Yun'er can have an income of almost twenty taels per month, which can be regarded as a high-income group in this year, and even the prefect's Yulu is not as good as her.
