Chapter 141: Wu Ming
After coming to Pingzhou for a week, Zhulan is familiar with the surrounding environment, Zhou Shuren is busy reading, or going out with Zhao Bo to expand socials, she has nothing to do to go out for a walk, or teasing the children at home.
Today, Zhou Shuren not only went out by himself, but also took Ming Qing and Shumo with him, and didn't come back for dinner at noon.
It was rare for Wu Li to go back without food, so Zhulan asked, "Don't you bring it back to the children?" ”
Wu Li smiled, "The four of them went to grandma's house, and I was the only one when I went home." ”
Zhulan's eyes lit up, Wu Li was not in a hurry to go back, she was just able to chat with Wu Li for a while.
The surrounding neighbors are very arrogant, the family on the left is Xiucai, and the relatives on the right are petty officials, and the Zhulan family is inquired clearly, Zhou Shuren is still a Xiucai at an age, which makes people look down on him, thinking that Zhou Shuren has no value worth paying, Zhulan visits the door according to etiquette, the two families are not salty, and Zhulan has a smile on her face.
When I came back, I carefully inquired about the situation of the two families, and the neighbor thought that the Zhou family had no value in making friends, and she still wanted to check it out, if she wasn't afraid of troublesome Zhao Bo, she wanted to ask when she came to Pingzhou.
After inquiring, Zhulan knew in her heart that Xiucai's family was the arrogance of pure scholars, and the neighbor on the right was pure and looked down on people, but there was nothing bad about it.
Zhulan is relieved, and the etiquette has arrived, so the only person who can talk about it is Wu Li.
Wu Li and Zhulan got along well, knowing that the Zhou family was kind-hearted and did not look down on her, and often asked her to bring back some more food, she was grateful, and she did not go home after the meal, leaving to chat.
Wu Shi talked about the difficulties of life, "The ordinary people in the state city are really not as good as the rural people, everything needs to spend money, unlike having their own land in the countryside, although there is not much left after paying taxes, but if you tighten your belt, you will not really starve to death, at least the food does not cost money, the vegetable garden can grow vegetables to eat, and self-sufficiency is no problem." ”
Zhulan agreed, "It's not easy to live in the city, and it's even harder to catch up with natural disasters. ”
Wu Li shivered, "Who said no, just say that there was a great drought four years ago, and the price of grain doubled before the drought occurred, if it weren't for the rise in food prices, my youngest son and daughter-in-law would not have died unexpectedly in a man-made accident." ”
Zhulan saw Wu Li touching her tears, and hurriedly comforted, "The days will get better and better, your eldest grandson is about to become a talent, and he can also comfort the spirits of the two of them in the sky." ”
Wu Li wiped his tears and had a smile on his face, "This kid is sensible, he is only fifteen this year, the old man and I didn't expect him to pass the county exam, I can't wait to worship the Buddha every day, I hope that the Buddha will bless Wu Ming, this child will pass the exam smoothly and become a showman." ”
Zhulan said, "It will be." ”
Everyone likes to listen to good words, Wu Li smiled, "I borrowed your auspicious words." ”
The next day came to the day of the house test, Zhulan sent Zhou Shuren out, the genius was bright, Zhulan didn't think much about it, and she couldn't stand Wu Li's concern about her grandson from time to time, and Zhulan's heart also followed.
When Zhou Shuren came back in the evening, Zhulan felt steady, and there were several government exams, so Zhulan bought several hens for Zhou Shuren to make up.
In the evening, Zhulan didn't ask, Zhou Shuren was quite tired, and he rested early after eating to recuperate.
Although Zhou Shuren didn't say how the test was, Zhulan knew from Zhou Shuren's look that the test was good, as for Ming and Qing and Shumo, the dishes on their faces, even the good food, both of them had no appetite.
In order to form a good fate, Zhulan will bring more meals to Wu Li in the past few days, Wu Li is very grateful, from Wu Li's eyebrows and smiles, he knows that Wu Ming is doing well in the exam.
