The days of waiting are always very painful, Fang Mingyuan said that he didn't care, but he was worried in his heart. Pretending to be fine, I went to the workshop every day, chatted with people in the Fenggu souvenir shop for a while, and went into the study when I came back, and I was more energetic than Cai Kun to learn.

Chang'an reconciles accounts with Kang Rongping and Ji Ran every day, and the grain in the south of the Yangtze River is constantly shipped out, part of it is transported to Ningyuan City, part of it is transported to Fenggu Town, and most of the rest is allocated by Ji Ran and Kang Rongping, and it is scattered in the warehouse closest to King Jing's fiefdom.

Mrs. Hu found a place for Fang Yue to learn the rules, the teaching hall opened by Aunt Qi. I went to study for an hour every day, and when I came back, Mrs. Hu wanted to ask Fang Yue what she had learned.

"What can you learn? It's not all like that, he speaks softly and softly, and he can't open his legs when he walks. Mrs. Niu shook her head and said, "I think, Miss Guanjia just hasn't been at ease with us." A country woman, who dares to provoke, believe it or not, can scold her voice for three days. ”

Mrs. Hu smiled and said, "Don't make me laugh!" I scolded for three days, I believe, I still used a knife to chop and scold on the meat case at that time! ”

Fang Yue saw that the two were chatting happily, and silently went to embroider under the window.

After a while, it was finally time to release the list, Fang Mingcai and Fang Mingquan were crowded in front of the list, and the first thing they saw was Fang Mingyuan's name. It's not because Fang Mingyuan is at the top of the list, that list is too high, too big, you have to look up when you get close!

As soon as the two of them looked up, hehe, the old Quartet Mingyuan's name was right in front of them! Last place! Look at the most visible position in front of you.

The last place is not bad, it is better than the one who falls off the list!

Fang Mingquan secretly persuaded himself to go up to find Cai Kun's name. Good boy, you actually took the test...... Forty-nine!

Back at the Guogong Mansion, Fang Mingcai smiled and reported the good news, and said, "Auntie is happy, Brother Mingyuan, and aunt are all on the list." ”

Mrs. Hu anxiously asked, "How is the ranking?" ”

Fang Mingcai smiled brightly and said, "That's really lucky!" The fourth brother of our family just happened to be on the list, Aunt Hu said, is this a great luck? Just one paper edge away, the names of the four brothers fell out! ”

Mrs. Hu smiled and narrowed her eyes, "You really know how to say, I don't think the fourth child needs to find a big housekeeper in the family, you can learn it with Manager Fu, and you can follow the fourth child to be a housekeeper in the future." ”

Fang Mingcai immediately knelt down and thanked him, "Thank you aunt for your success, I am worried about how to open my mouth with the fourth brother, if I have you, I will be done!" ”

Mrs. Niu got up and kicked Fang Mingcai, "Dead skin, get up, tell me, how many girls and sons-in-law have taken the exam!" ”

"Old lady! Our family Xie Yuan Gong took the forty-nine exams, and the girl will be waiting to enjoy the blessings in the future! Fang Mingcai got up and sat back in his chair.

said, "I heard Cheng Tou say, this time's ranking is nothing, as long as you are on the list, you can participate in the palace exam, and go up the Jinluan Palace!" The real ranking is determined by the emperor, and the fourth brother of our family may become the champion! ”

Mrs. Niu is very self-aware, "That can't be, the last place will be the first, and the emperor can't do it!" Go forward with the sky, and don't follow the side of the list. ”

Fang Mingyuan didn't speak, he agreed with Fang Mingcai's words in his heart, the last one was really lucky, he really had Wang Pinzhang's original feeling, why did he want to laugh out loud!

Can't laugh, the forty-nine people are still worried, and the last one is crazy to laugh, what's the matter?

Fang Mingquan was silent all the time, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Why is the fourth brother at the bottom of the list?" With the talent of my fourth brother, not to mention the top few, at least it can't fall at the bottom of the list! ”

Cai Kun is worried about this, in his opinion, the fourth uncle is his mentor, little by little to teach him how to use the knowledge he has learned, teach him from an ignorant teenager to what he is now, no matter what, the fourth uncle should be ranked before him.

Fang Mingyuan was finally able to laugh and suffocate Lao Tzu.

Suppressing his laughter, Fang Mingyuan said his last policy in the exam, Chang'an has already analyzed it, if he fails the list, the problem lies in this strategy.

After hearing this, Mrs. Hu frowned and said, "The idea is very good, but I can't agree with it." You said that you want to release the flood and exchange the land for the same value, what do you get in exchange? I am now the largest landlord in Ningyuan, and sixty percent of the people in Ningyuan farm for me.

The water floods the fields, and the tenants can take away all their belongings with one burden, and they leave with the burden, what should I do? What will I eat in the future? If the fields are gone, how can I live?

You say that the equivalent exchange, can the court give me money, or can it give me land? Can't, my field is flooded, live in another city, maybe eighty percent of the grange here is the princess's property, can I ask for my nephew's daughter-in-law's family business?

Even if it's not a princess, you can't give it to me if you change to someone else. Besides, the whole world is not the king's land, and when a natural disaster comes, you ask the emperor for money? All I can do is ask for money from the people who ask for the flood, and you think, what can I ask for? ”

Fang Mingyuan got up and shook it to the end, "What my aunt taught me is that my nephew has been taught." ”

"I look at you!" Mrs. Hu sighed, "You are too smooth sailing in Fenggu Town, the people are obedient, you have the name of the little chief official of the horse reward, and the villagers are unwilling and dare not resist."

Fortunately, you took everyone to make money and didn't do anything else, otherwise, just with the old mountain bandits who went down the mountain in Fenggu Town, you wouldn't know how to die. ”

"Oh mother!" Mrs. Niu exclaimed, "Why didn't you say it?" Was that really the case? ”

Mrs. Hu smiled and nodded, and Fang Mingyuan said, "That's right, if it wasn't for my aunt moving to the town and having the care of the Dazhongzi brothers, we would be really in danger." ”

Fang Mingcai frowned and thought about it, can he be a good housekeeper of the fourth child? Aunt Hu didn't point out these things, he didn't know anything about them!

Fang Mingquan has been in the capital for a few years, and he has long known that everything is not so easy, but he feels that the house where the fourth brother lives is not appropriate, if he is admitted to the Jinshi, it is too ostentatious for Hanlin to live in such a big mansion.

"The palace test is just around the corner, and the fourth child must remember that the world is the world of the royal family, and it is also the world of the powerful.

Go back and think about it, don't lose big because of small things, but for the people, and you should know that only by being an official can you do more things for the people. Mrs. Hu showed tiredness and waved everyone out.

Fang Yue's eyes kept looking at everyone, and when everyone was gone, she ran out and whispered to her mother, "Why didn't my brother come?" ”

Dong Xiaoying said, "Your brother went to see the list early in the morning, and he didn't dare to let your father know." I didn't come to the Guogong Mansion, but I was afraid that I would lose my shoes and go home in embarrassment. ”

When Dong Xiaoying and Fang Mingyuan returned home, they learned that Chang'an came back to change their clothes, but they were blocked by the young lady of Wu'an Houfu.

Chang'an is taking the gardener to help dig up the green plum trees in the plum forest!

"But be careful, don't hurt the roots, the hundred-year-old tree is the most delicate, and if you hurt a little, you can't slow down for three years." The gardener Giber lay on the ground, little by little with his hands.

Miss Guan from Wu'an Houfu glanced at Chang'an and said embarrassedly, "I just can't bear this plum tree, and my grandmother likes to use green plum tea the most." Why don't I give you the money and buy a plum tree? ”

Chang An Yun said lightly, "No need to do this, it's something from Miss's house, and it's normal to take it back." ”

Gardener Ji quit, "When I sold the house, I sold the things in the house that I said were good, and the people had an extra five hundred taels." ”

Chang'an reassured, "Uncle Ji, it's hard to buy a good heart if you have money, not to mention that Miss wants to honor your elders." Miss Guan is filial, how can we stop it? ”

But he said in his heart, what did you do in the first place? Sell it and dig it again! Forget it, you dig it up, dig it away, we can't afford to offend the Hou Mansion, I just don't know, if you dig it back, can you plant it!

"Thank you Fang Gongzi for making it complete." Miss Kwan is blessed.

Chang An smiled politely and said, "Miss is polite, there is no need for this." ”

Dong Xiaoying and Fang Mingyuan stood in the distance, unable to hear what their son said, but they did not come forward to ask very tacitly.

"That's poaching? Our daughter loves this green plum very much. Fang Mingyuan felt a little pity.

"Dig it up! Serving these flowers and trees for a year, a lot of money is spent, and they are all dug up! Just in time for the old lady to come back and grow vegetables! Dong Xiaoying didn't feel a loss at all, the gardener's monthly salary was 300 yuan, plus food and housing, and clothes for four seasons.
