Xiao Fangle hugged Zhong'er happily, walked around the medicine field again, and counted the medicine fields planted by the medicine seedlings, the number is not very much, but the quality of the production should not be bad, just these few medicine fields should be enough for their family to make a living for a year.

I heard that Shopkeeper Lin said that now Zhang Xiaoyan's mother and aunt have also started embroidery and spinning at home, and the family who knows how to do business will definitely live a good life.

"Uncle Shi, if you have time, why don't you stay at home for a few days?" Zhang Xiaoyan asked tentatively, but actually had another idea in her heart.

Xiao Fang also had this intention, taking advantage of the recent time to teach more skills to the little apprentices, and when he saw Zhang Xiaoyan open his mouth, he agreed smoothly: "Okay, in the next few days, I will take a look at the medicinal seedlings planted by these seeds, and see if there is any way to remedy them a little, even if the effect of no medicinal seedlings is good, it should be better than the medicinal materials planted in the current situation." ”

"Then there is Uncle Lao." Zhang Xiaoyan bowed her hand politely.

As soon as the brothers and sisters of the Qin family heard that the master was going to stay for a few days, they all very much hoped to learn some medicinal herbs in the hands of the master. Qin Zhi couldn't speak, so he asked his sister to talk to Xiaoyan to see if she could stay here for a few days, so as not to miss such a good opportunity.

As soon as Qin Xiang spoke, Zhang Xiaoyan immediately understood the reason, and she also liked this pair of hard-working brothers and sisters very much, and naturally wanted them to learn more things, which could be regarded as repaying Qin Lizheng's kindness.

Erya has been following behind, and seems to have something to say, but she doesn't seem to dare to open this mouth. Zhong'er knew that Sister Er Ya liked to grow medicine, but she had an idea in her heart, but she didn't know if the master would agree?

I heard Dr. Liang say that the master never accepts apprentices easily, and the reason why he likes himself is also because of his talent. However, he knew that Sister Er Ya did not have this talent, but she had always been very diligent. If you don't understand something, you will ask my sister, and after asking, write it down in a small notebook.

Xiao Fang's ability to observe words and colors is not ordinary, and he can probably understand the mind of the little apprentice. However, he really doesn't accept apprentices easily, for the sake of the little apprentices, he has taught these children a little in the past two days, but as long as Zhong'er doesn't open his mouth, he won't say what he thinks in his heart.

This night, Xiao Fang and the Qin family brothers and sisters both stayed, and at night, Xiao Fang called Zhong'er to the guest room alone, and tested what Zhong'er learned a little, which was an eye-opener, and praised himself for picking up a big baby, and thanked his senior brother's subordinates for their mercy.

Zhang Shitong learned everything that happened to the Zhang family from Xiaoyan's mouth, and wanted to blame his sister for not hiding everything from them. Later, I thought that if I had come back for the sake of Lao Zhang's family, I am afraid that I would not have a good life today. The words of reproach turned into gratitude, and I am grateful that my sister broke my heart for this one, and I am glad that I have such a smart sister.

"Second brother, tell me how you and your eldest brother have been spending their days these days?" Zhang Xiaoyan actually wanted to know what kind of place Yucheng was?

She suddenly remembered that the kid said that he was also from Yucheng, and judging by his dress and appearance, he estimated that he was a young master from a large family, and she really wanted to know who he was mysterious?

"By the way, I was so happy that I forgot to tell you something. Originally, Steward Xiao and I came back a month ago, but your master said that the Xiucai exam would be a month later, so he simply waited for the eldest brother to come back after the exam. The eldest brother is really amazing, not only was he admitted to Xiucai, but he was also left to teach by the academy as an honor student. Your master said that this is fine, you can read more books in your time outside of teaching, and it will also be convenient for the imperial examination in the fall. Zhang Shitong was full of joy to tell everyone that the eldest brother's examination Xiucai was still left in the academy to do the things of a gentleman.

Listening to this good thing, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and Liu Lanhua said reassuringly: "Now you don't have to worry too much, as long as Shiyan is admitted to the top prize, when the time comes, the sixth and seventh will dare to be so arrogant." ”

"They were also admitted to Xiucai?" Zhang Shitong didn't know about it.

"That's right, look at the old woman's arrogance, she talks from house to house in the village every day, I'm afraid that people won't know that their family has two talents." As soon as the fat girl grandmother went out today, she ran into Xue's family, and her arrogant appearance really couldn't stand it.

Zhang Shitong understands that now they are inseparable from the old Zhang family, once the sixth and seventh uncles become officials, with the personalities of the seventh uncle and grandmother, they and the fourth uncle's family will definitely be the first to not let go. I didn't feel much about the big brother's fame before, but now it's prescient to look at the big brother.

"Perhaps, the sixth and seventh will not be the same, right?" The fourth child of the Zhang family said stupidly.

The third child of the Zhang family doesn't think so, the sixth child is nothing, the seventh child was beaten last time, this revenge must be remembered, it depends on when you have the ability to avenge this revenge.

Zhang Xiaoyan now understands that there is always something wrong at home these days, and it turns out that she is worried about the two animal students who were admitted to Xiucai.

The corners of her mouth suddenly hooked, and she said sarcastically: "If Lin Xiucai knows about the Zhang family, I'm afraid that my intestines will also regret it, right?" ”

"I don't know if the intestines are repentant, but I heard Aunt Zhou next door say that Lin Xiucai's family moved away. No one knows where they moved, I'm afraid they are afraid that the sixth and seventh will retaliate and run away with their tails between their legs, right? The fat grandmother laughed as she spoke, estimating that the Lin family was choked enough, and she should have been admitted a long time ago if she wanted to take the top prize.

"The two families are people who can only take advantage of the situation and can't suffer losses, the sixth child of the Zhang family is slightly better, and the seventh child is afraid that it will ......" Uncle Wang also felt that the seventh brother of the Zhang family was not right, and he might not be able to get fame one day, I am afraid that he would die from evil thoughts.

Zhang Shitong listened to everyone talking about the sixth and seventh uncles, and secretly looked at his father and fourth uncle, and found that the faces of the two were not very good, obviously he still minded the bad things of the old Zhang family.

However, fortunately, the mother and the fourth aunt are both understanding people, otherwise with the soft-heartedness of the father and the fourth uncle, I am afraid that the two families will not live as well as they do now.

The fire was burning very strongly, and the needle and thread in Bai Qing's hand were passing quickly, but his mind was attracted by last night's dream, and he accidentally poked the needle into his finger, and blood immediately came out.

The third child of the Zhang family picked up his daughter-in-law's hand distressedly, saw that she had several wounds on her hands, and said unhappily: "Be careful, don't embroider anymore when it's so late." ”

"Mother, fourth aunt, brother Zhuzi, after the embroidery and spinning, I will stop all the work in my hands. Staring at the needle and thread all day long is not good for everyone's eyes, as the saying goes, it is good to keep the green mountains in order not to be afraid of no firewood, if the eyes are damaged, it is not cost-effective. Zhang Xiaoyan stepped forward to take away the needle and thread from her mother's hand and persuaded everyone to stop.

Zhu rubbed his tired eyes, and indeed found that his eyes were very tired lately, and often shed tears uncomfortably, so he obediently put all the needles and threads into the basket.
