The daughter-in-law of the Ma family nodded again and again when she heard this.

"Chen Xuan's daughter-in-law, you are right, this can read and write, that's different, if it weren't for my family's money, I would also send my children to study in the town? I heard what the head of my family said, what if you are good at reading, not only can you go to the city to study, but you can also receive money and rice every month? ”

When He Manshan's daughter-in-law heard this, her eyes brightened, and she was full of curiosity.

"Then you have to be able to do it if you win?"

When she said this, her eyes glanced at Zhu Chengping.

Zhu Chengping managed the expression on his face, and with a bad feeling in his heart, he looked at Chen Qing, who was silently reciting on the side.

When the daughter-in-law of the Ma family heard this, she wanted to show that her man had seen the world outside, and tried to recall what her man told her.

"The head of my family said that it was Xiucai, by the way, it was said that it was the first Xiucai, what was it called, anyway, it was the first place, and he would get silver money and rice grain."

She caught a glimpse of Zhu Chengping in her spare eyes, thinking that he was a showman, so she hurriedly pulled him up.

"If you don't believe it, then ask Master Xiucai, he must know."

Zhu Cheng's face was a little red, but in front of so many women, he didn't want to lose face, so he endured the discomfort in his heart and smiled gently.

"Sister-in-law Ma said that it should be a gift."

"Yes, yes, yes, it's endowment, this name is too awkward, it's really a Xiucai master, and he knows more than us."

Don't say it, the daughter-in-law of the Ma family praised Zhu Chengping sincerely, but Zhu Chengping combined with what the daughter-in-law of the Ma family said before, and felt that the daughter-in-law of the Ma family was giving him an ugly look.

He is now a showman, but the noun is not high.

When He Manshan's daughter-in-law heard this, she sighed with emotion.

"Zhu Xiucai, how many places have you taken the exam?"

You can really come whatever you want, Rao is Zhu Chengping, who has always been good at pretending, was asked like this, and saw that the people in the carriage were looking at him, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and the hand on his knee tightened, and forced a smile.

He Manshan's daughter-in-law also seemed to realize that she had asked a stupid question at this time, after all, they were all from the same village, if Zhu Chengping really won the first place, and had money and rice and grain, their family would not be so embarrassed.

She rolled her eyes and said with a smile.

"Oh, no matter what, it's better than us mud-legged people anyway, Zhu Xiucai, listen to your mother, you have to take the exam tomorrow, saying that it is a test for people, my aunt believes that you are so smart, you will definitely be able to pass the exam."

The nursery rhyme looked at He Manshan's daughter-in-law who was trying her best to say some good things, the corners of her mouth hooked, and then looked at the darkness in Zhu Chengping's eyes on the side, afraid that the horse's fart slapped the horse's leg.

"Sister-in-law Manshan is right, Zhu Xiucai is the first talent in our Heyuan Village, this talent is extraordinary, I think I will definitely win next year, and I can't forget us when I invite guests to dinner."

Nursery rhymes have never been a kind-hearted person, you must know that the death of the original owner is inextricably linked to Zhu Chengping.

Zhu Chengping's dark eyes looked at the nursery rhyme, and seeing the slightest ridicule in her eyes, she mentioned it to her throat in one breath, but she couldn't have a seizure, this woman definitely didn't care about it.

She was playing a trick on him, where was it so easy to lift, he quickly withdrew his gaze and looked at them with a smile.

"I'm really ashamed, it's also my luck to show talent in the exam, it's really hard to say that there are so many people who take the exam every year, and there are very few people who can pass the exam, and most of them are people who are guided by famous teachers."

As he said this, his gaze glanced at Chen Qing.

The nursery rhyme found that his eyes narrowed, this person was beating Ah Qing's idea, the common point between the two of them was reading, combined with what he said just now, could it be that this person wanted to know Mr. Song through Ah Qing?

The daughter-in-law of the Ma family and the daughter-in-law of the Manshan family were still very polite to Zhu Chengping, this scholar was always higher in the eyes of others, and after listening to his words, they all nodded.

"It is said that the apprentices taught by the master are all different."

Zhu Chengping smiled warmly again, giving people the feeling of being very humble and polite.

"Famous teachers make high apprentices."

The nursery rhyme said lightly.

"Zhu Xiucai's words, could it be that he is blaming the master who taught you before?"

Zhu Chengping's eyes froze, and the nursery rhyme could feel the coldness in his eyes, but she was not afraid, and looked back at him with a smile.

"I'm a fast talker, I deal with people outside a lot on weekdays, and I won't open the door, Zhu Xiucai looks at me like this, I'm really a little scared, could it be that I said something wrong?"

As he spoke, he patted his chest.

Chen Xuan turned his head sideways at the right time and glanced at Zhu Chengping coldly, Zhu Chengping retracted his gaze and hung his head slightly, others couldn't see his expression clearly, and when he raised his head again, the whole person was still like a spring breeze.

"Sister-in-law of the Chen family, you misinterpreted what I meant, I was able to be admitted to Xiucai, all because of the shouts of the masters, and it is also just a few of us on this ox cart, and it will not be passed on to the outside, if it is passed outside, it will not only be bad for me, but also for the sister-in-law of the Chen family and even the little brother of Aqing."

The nursery rhyme disagreed, she looked at the women in the car, the women's eyes flashed, but they also knew what to say and what not to say, and the people who did good things now also saw some fame, this Chen Xuan's daughter-in-law didn't seem to like Zhu Xiucai as much as she said before, and today it looks like she has some anger!

"I'm just a woman who hasn't read a book, and I think that the master who has read a book won't come to me for such a little gossip, and if he really came to me, it would be too stingy."

When she spoke, her voice was slightly raised, and Zhu Chengping felt even worse in his heart.

He is now teaching in the town, so he wants to try it next year, and he also knows that he is unlikely to win, but what if he gets the guidance of a famous teacher? He feels that he is still very talented in reading, and he is confident that he can go to the next level after being guided by a famous teacher.

Now that he has finally found his goal, he must not give up.

"Sister-in-law Chen is right, I made too much of a fuss."

Weakness?

The nursery rhyme was a little more vigilant in his heart, and he had to say that this Heyuan Village was not big, but there were all kinds of smart people in it.

Chen Qing silently glanced at his sister-in-law, then at Zhu Chengping, lowered his head and thought to himself.

At the entrance of the village, everyone got out of the car.

Only Zhu Chengping did not go directly after getting off the ox cart, but looked at Chen Qing.

"Little brother Aqing, you are also studying in the town now, I don't know how many days you will return to the town, we can go together when the time comes, just right, I can also tell you about my learning experience over the years."

The nursery rhyme looked at Zhu Chengping with a smile and did not speak.

Zhu Chengping looked at Chen Qing expectantly.

Chen Qing bowed to Zhu Cheng.

"Brother Zhu doesn't need it, my eldest brother will send me there when the time comes."

Zhu Chengping didn't expect Chen Qing to refuse, and after his eyes flashed, he returned to his natural nature and said naturally towards Chen Qing.

"Well, it's okay, if you have any problems with your studies in the future, you can also come to me."

He was about to tell Chen Qing his address in the town, but he was plotted by a nursery rhyme.

"Ah Qing, Zhu Xiucai is still busy taking the exam, he has good intentions, but we can't be so rude, so don't bother him, anyway, with Mr. Song here, if there is anything you don't understand when the time comes, just ask your master."

"Sister-in-law, I understand."

Chen Qing replied very simply.

When Zhu Chengping heard Mr. Song, his eyes were a little fanatical, and his eyes when he looked at Chen Qing were also a little jealous, and this kid was lucky, and he didn't know how to get the shopkeeper Song of the bookstore to get in touch.

Looking at the ox cart slowly leaving, Zhu Chengping had a little smile on his plane, and what was in his eyes was just calculation.

"Ah Qing, stay away from this Zhu Chengping in the future, he is full of bad water, don't be deceived by him."

When the nursery rhyme arrived at home, he said it to Chen Qing.

Chen Xuan glanced at the nursery rhyme that preached Ah Qing, and the corners of his mouth hooked.

Chen Qing also nodded.

"Sister-in-law, I understand."

The nursery rhyme looked at Chen Qing, who was so well-behaved, that his heart was so soft, he touched his head with one hand, and said gently.

"Mr. Song is very famous, Zhu Chengping approached us today, it is very likely that he wanted to get to know Mr. Song through you, as far as Zhu Chengping's unrighteous guy is concerned, if he really becomes an official in the future, he will definitely be a faint official, so we must not give him a chance, you know?"

Chen Qing nodded heavily.

"Sister-in-law, I won't let him get close to Master."

Nursery rhyme nodded in satisfaction.

"Clever."

Chen Qing carried his books and went back to his room, about to come out to help with the nursery rhyme.

Nursery rhymes really don't need his help, but he doesn't want to raise Chen Qing into a delicate son, so he let him memorize the articles and poems he has learned in the past half a month.

She didn't understand, she just thought the young man's crisp voice was very good.

Chen Xuan silently followed along.

After dinner, the nursery rhyme went to wash, and when he came out, he saw two people, one big and one small, drawing something on the ground with sticks in the yard, and when she got closer, she found that this was Chen Qing teaching Chen Xuan to write, and she didn't bother.

A person silently returned to the room, thinking about Chen Xuan's seriousness in learning words with Chen Qing, as well as his beautiful handwriting on the ground, if the Chen family was in good condition in the early years, Chen Xuan should have a different life, her heart was sour and astringent.

"What's wrong?"

As soon as Chen Xuan came in, he saw that the nursery rhyme looked gloomy, and the steps on his feet were a little faster.

Tong Yao hugged his waist and said angrily.

"Xianggong, you are very powerful, you have always been very powerful!"
