Zhulan shook the silver ticket in her hand, "You say, in the past, why didn't I feel so excited about counting the tickets, but now it's good, four thousand five hundred taels of silver tickets, I don't think it's enough to count twice!" ”

Zhou Shuren hit the nail on the head, "That's because you haven't been poor since you were a child." ”

Whether in modern or ancient times, he likes the feeling of counting votes, especially the feeling of saving money.

Zhulan thought that this was indeed the case, hugged the box on the kang, and turned out the silver ticket at home, "There are more than 5,000 taels at home, when will we go to the capital!" ”

Zhou Shuren planned: "Wait for the end of the government test." ”

Zhulan put all the money away and locked it up, "Count the days, in a few days, the people from the clan who come to participate in the government examination should come." ”

"Yes, this year, counting Chang Lian and Chang Zhi in the clan, four people have passed the county test, which is a good sign."

Of the people who participated in the government examination in the clan this time, only Chang Lian and Chang Zhi were from the Changzi generation, and the other two were from the Ming generation, and the next generation also got up.

The Zhou family got a sum of money, Zhou Shuren and Zhulan were not ready to say it, even if there were rumors outside, but Chang Lian and Chang Zhi could not be contacted, and the brothers of the Zhou family didn't know what they had done!

The brothers of the Zhou family only know that there are more people who have come to visit the house recently, there are businessmen who come to the door, and there are some readers, Zhou Shuren and He Juren of the competition because of their common hobby, Zhou Shuren wants to learn more antiques through the dynasty, and they are close.

The two families have interacted a lot, and Zhulan followed Zhou Shuren to visit the He family.

He Juren's house is not big, it is also a two-entry house, the location is better than the Zhou family, because He Juren loves antiques, there are a lot of antiques at home.

It's just Mrs. He, Zhulan doesn't like it very much, Mrs. He is from an official family, she is full of arrogance, she is very picky about Zhulan, and she speaks in a weird way, sometimes she speaks like an order, and Zhulan goes once and then doesn't go anymore.

Zhou Shuren also only interacted with He Juren and no longer came to the door.

When the heat brought by Zhou Shuren passed, the Zhou family was quieter.

The Qian family came to the door again, this time Qian Shengbao came with his eldest son, Zhulan and the others left, and asked, "Is it still for the grandson to enroll in school?" ”

Zhou Shuren nodded, "The admission of my grandson is one of them, and the second is that the Qian family also knows the news of my competition, and the Qian family still has a few calligraphy and paintings in their hands, I hope I can help identify them." ”

Zhulan suddenly grasped the point, "Qian Shengbao knows that Mr. Xiheng's calligraphy and painting are worth a lot now, even if it is fake, some people will ask for it again, he doesn't want to take it to the antique store for identification, so as not to cause trouble, he wants you to identify the real and fake, and then use the calligraphy and painting to study for Sun Tzu Mou Academy?" ”

Zhou Shuren added: "I also want to use me to make friends, recently many people have asked me if I still have calligraphy and paintings in my hand, why the Qian family didn't come a few days ago, it's all calculated." ”

He doesn't like to be calculated, especially Qian Shengbao pit him once, he didn't calculate it last time, and this time he still wants to pick up a bargain behind his back, Qian Shengbao doesn't have a bloody door.

Zhulan hooked the corners of her mouth, "The Qian family has a lot of antiques, and we don't want much compensation, just one antique." ”

Zhou Shuren smiled, "I think so too." ”

The Qian family dared to pick up the bargain, don't blame him.

The next day, Zhulan was curious, she hadn't been to Qian's house yet, so she followed Zhou Shuren to Qian's house in the carriage that the Qian family came to pick up.

The Qian family is also Zhou Laoer's father-in-law, and Zhou Shuren also brought Zhou Laoer.

Ten miles out of the state city, the road is not so smooth, there are many villages in Qianjia Village, Zhulan found that Qianjia Village is a rich village, and many of the houses are green bricks, which is really worthy of the surname.

Qian Shengbao was waiting at the door, Zhou Shuren helped Zhulan get out of the carriage, Qian Shengbao was stunned, and quickly returned to normal and stepped forward, "My mother-in-law, my mother has worked hard all the way, please come inside." ”

Zhou Shuren said: "You're welcome." ”

Zhulan followed into the Qian family's house, the big house is not small, the Qian family has been a slave in a large family, and they don't like the farmer's house, and the house is similar to the house in the city.

Zhulan went all the way to the main courtyard, Fang didn't know that Zhulan was also coming, standing in the courtyard stunned, hurriedly put down the basin in his hand and wiped his hands, "My mother is here, please come inside." ”

Zhulan followed Fang's into the house, Zhulan sat down, Fang's said, "Mother-in-law sits first, I'll go make tea." ”

Zhulan was indeed thirsty, "It's troublesome to my mother." ”

Fang was happy that Yang could come, "No trouble, no trouble." ”

Zhulan looked at the house, the house was clean, the floor was paved with bluestone, the cabinets were all made of good wood, and there were needles and threads for Fang's clothes on the kang.

didn't wait for a while, Fang's came back, Zhulan listened to the movement, Fang's also made a pot of tea outside, sighing in his heart, Fang's is a stepfamily, there is no daughter-in-law to serve, he says filial piety, but he doesn't bully anymore, he can't serve in front of him, and the guests at home still have to rely on Fang's busy work.

Fang's came in with tea and snacks, "My cooking skills are not very good, the dim sum is bought in the city by the master, and the Ruyi dim sum that is very popular in the city, my mother will try it." ”

Zhulan was indeed a little hungry, "My mother is humble, my cooking skills are really bad." ”

At least Fang's can cook a table of dishes, but she can't.

Fang's smiled, she knew that her daughter had told her that Yang's cooking skills were really poor.

The curtain in the house opened again, and a boy over three years old came in, "Mother, Dad asked me to meet my aunt." ”

Fang Shi pulled his son and introduced, "This is my youngest son, Qian Shunqing." ”

Zhulan looked at the little boy, who looked like Fang's, and was quite honest, well, the name was not bad, at least it wasn't cheesy, and she took out a purse, "This is given by my aunt, take it quickly." ”

One or two silver horns in the purse were specially prepared when I came.

The little guy took the purse, probably for the first time to receive a gift, and smiled and thanked him happily, "Thank you, Auntie." ”

Fang Shi motioned for his son to go out first, and when his son left, he said, "This kid is enlightening his nephews in the front yard. ”

Zhulan didn't ask why only Qian Shunqing came to see her, thinking that Old Man Qian had stopped her, "The family invited Mr.?" ”

Fang nodded, "Xiucai can't be invited, it's Lao Tongsheng who is invited." ”

Zhulan smiled, Qian Shengbao is really rough, don't send his grandchildren to private school, and enlighten him at home from an early age, this is what he wants to send to the academy!

The subsequent topic was dominated by Fang's, Fang's was reluctant to mention her past, and she didn't want to talk about her days in the Qian family, she was willing to listen to her daughters and grandchildren.

Zhulan also has fun not to find a topic, chat, she likes children, Yushuang and Mingrui, she has no less, and the children have more joy.

Don't look at Yushuang Wenwen quietly, this girl has a lot of eyes, there is no less pit Mingteng, Mingteng is still stupid, Yushuang's sister is the best.

At noon, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren left to eat, Zhulan this table, only Zhulan and Fang's two, when the meal was set, Zhulan also saw the daughters-in-law of the Qian family, they were all shrewd masters, their eyes kept rolling, and they tried to stay with Fang's several times, it is estimated that Fang's got Qian Shengbao, none of them were left.

Zhu Lanle is at ease, the two of them can eat a little more openly, the Qian family is really rich, twelve dishes, there are big geese, sheep, and roe deer meat.

Fang's saw that Zhulan ate more goose meat, "My mother likes goose meat?" ”
