After the thank-you banquet, the group of Cangshan Academy will prepare to go back.

Song Tian didn't tell them about his apprenticeship, but went back that night and told his father.

Song Ercai didn't know what to say, those things in the court were beyond his ability, and he couldn't help his son if he didn't know much, so he only told him to be more attentive in the future.

Song Tian understood.

Sending his son away, Song Ercai sat under the lamp and remembered the old people he saw during the day.

After many years, the man had not changed much, and he recognized it with a glance.

At that time, he came to Cangshan Academy to study for half a year, and his grades were not as good as his own, but he won the show in one fell swoop, and now he is the main examiner of the release, and he wants to mix well in Beijing over the years.

Back then, he thought he was talented but unwilling, and after many years, Song Ercai thought that he had let go, and when he saw the old man today, he still stirred up a little ripple in his heart.

The next day, Song Tian returned to the academy and bowed to his teacher in the presence of everyone.

After that, he packed up a little and decided to go home.

At this time, Ah Xiu found him and told him about Linjiang some time ago.

It's not that he deliberately deceives, but I'm afraid that he will affect his learning.

Song Tian was surprised, if Ah Xiu hadn't made a special trip to see him, he would definitely have some thoughts in his heart. But she came from thousands of miles away, and Song Tian was only moved.

He didn't say anything, and when he heard that Ah Xiu was not going back with them, he was about to leave for Linjiang immediately, and he was reluctant.

On the third day after the release of the list, Song Tian followed his father to send Ah Xiu away, and then the two also followed the group from Cangshan Academy back to Pingyang.

Leaving home in June, he first went to Linjiang, and then went to Fucheng to accompany the exam, and this time Song Ercai went out for three months.

Before leaving, he was not pregnant, and when he returned, Chang's stomach was already high.

Song Tian won the small three yuan in the hospital trial list, and the news had been passed by the people of the county government a few days ago, and Chang's family looked forward to it day and night, and finally waited for his son and husband to come back.

On the day of return, a group of people from Pingyang Town came out to watch the excitement again.

As for Xiao Sanyuan, they have never heard of it, and it is still the people from the county government who came to report the good news only to know that it is the head of the case in the third trial.

Now Song Tian is no longer the first in Pingyang County, but the first in the entire Liangzhou Prefecture.

At noon on the day they returned to the town, the group went to the restaurant for dinner, and the shopkeeper Wu did not receive a penny, so he asked Song Tian and Hu Ke to mention a painting to him as a souvenir.

During the day, he ate in the restaurant, and at night, Chang also held a banquet in the courtyard, and specially invited the owner of the Li Pavilion to come.

Chang also discussed with her husband that she would hold a flowing water banquet for her son for another three days, and this time she would not go back to the village and hold a grand ceremony in the town.

"It would be nice if Ah Xiu was here, and I could have fun with everyone."

That night, Chang was lying in her husband's arms talking about her plans for the next few days.

When her husband returned to Fucheng before, he had asked someone to come back and report to her in advance, and brought back the two boxes of tonic medicine sent by Ah Xiu.

knew that everything was developing well over there, but Chang still couldn't help but think about her, after all, she was a little daughter-in-law who had been raised for many years.

"Next year, when Tian'er finishes the township exam, we will take him to Beijing and we will be able to meet."

In the township exam in August next year, I don't plan to wait until my son finishes the exam, and I don't plan to wait, and I will take someone to Beijing directly.

Chang nodded.

The next day, the news of Song Tian's return reached the village, and the old man Song came, and when he heard that his son was going to hold a flowing water banquet in the town, he immediately returned to the village to prepare, and he invited all the acquaintances and relatives who could be named that day.

This is the scenery that belongs to their Song family, so it is natural to call some people to have fun.

And the Chang family, not only invited the people in the town, but also the students in the academy.

The two streets up and down Hekou Town were all full of tables, and everyone volunteered to help cook, and the banquet lasted from morning to night, and it was lively for two days.

After being so lively and delayed for a few days, the students who won the show had to pack their bags and go to the academy to study.

Pang Zimo and Tong Liangyu entered Shaoliang Academy in Pingyang, and Song Tian and Hu Ke went to Qingyun Academy in Fucheng.

On the day of leaving, hundreds of people sent each other.

Song Tian saw that his mother was heavy, so he didn't let Song Ercai accompany him, and only asked the Tang brothers to send him over.

Song Ercai told his son a few words, study in the academy well, and accompany him to Beijing in the middle of next year.

Song Tian nodded, he had already made an appointment with Ah Xiu to meet on the way to Beijing next year.

*****

Linjiang City, ferry.

By the time the last merchant ship docked, it was already getting dark.

Ah Xiu got off the boat, and Du's mother, who was waiting on the shore, hurriedly greeted her and held the person up.

"Miss, can you be safe all the way?"

Ah Xiu came and went back and forth, and it took nearly two months.

When I left, the heat was unbearable, and when I returned, it was already autumn wind and fallen leaves.

"The journey is safe, Mother Du doesn't have to worry."

Ah Xiu patted her hand and asked about the situation in the embroidery workshop.

She was in a hurry, and she didn't know what was going on.

"Miss, don't worry, many of the people and slaves inside know each other. Everyone is grateful to know that you are back, and there are a few restless ones who have also cleaned up for the old slave. ”

The master and servant talked all the way, and when they got into the carriage, Du's mother asked about Song Tian's results.

"Brother Tian lived up to his expectations and won the little three yuan."

When it comes to this, Ah Xiu is naturally extremely happy.

Little three yuan!

Du's mother was stunned for a moment, but also laughed.

In the past, she lived in the back house and didn't know much about the outside world, but this time she helped the young lady rebuild the Zhuo family outside, and she knew the importance of being an official in the family.

The carriage returned to Zhuo's Mansion on Yutai Street, and Ah Xiu was eating after washing, and Cao Yi came.

The two chatted in the hall for a while and talked about the He family's coming to the door.

The next day, not long after Ah Xiu went to the embroidery building, He Wenyun and He Cheng came.

In the past two months, the fiber embroidery company has taken the embroidery and yarn clothes of the Zhuo family to do a prosperous business in Beijing, and the most directly hit is the He family.

After all, the things of the two families are similar, and if there are things from the Zhuo family, the He family has become a defective product.

The uncle and nephew were invited into the private room on the second floor.

He Jingcheng has been taking care of business in Beijing for several years, and it is the first time he has seen A Xiu for so many years, and he can't help but be stunned.

Ah Xiu smiled faintly and let people serve tea.

Needless to say, the two sides had a clear purpose and talked directly about business.

Ah Xiu wanted the embroidery workshops of the Zhuo family back then, He Jingcheng was undoubtedly angry, but at this point, the He family could only be forced to bear it.

Before signing the agreement, He Jingcheng said that he wanted to increase the contract period to 20 years.

Whether it is with the fiber embroidery shop, or the previous discussion with the He family, the conditions of Ah embroidery are ten years of appointment, and now He Jingcheng will double it when he opens his mouth, she smiled and said: "Uncle cousin, is this the craftsmanship of the Zhuo family?" Ten years of business can't get those dozens of embroidery workshops? ”

He Jingcheng pinched the teacup and was silent, and then said to He Wenyun beside him: "You go out first, I have something to say to Jinxiu." ”

He Wenyun was a little inexplicable, and finally got up and went out.
