Finally waited until the twelfth day of August, Qiao Xi felt nervous, now it is officially autumn, but the weather is still relatively hot, she prepared a drink to cool off early.

It's three o'clock in the morning outside, and it's still dark outside, but there are already many candidates rushing to the direction of the examination room with lanterns.

The candidates in the inn where they lived also began to walk out one after another, and when they went out, the innkeeper also specially lit firecrackers, wishing the candidates to be on the list and have a bright future.

When taking the exam, not only the candidates will compete with each other, but also the inns will compete with each other, if the candidates who live in the inn do well in the exam this time, then there will be more people staying in their inn in the coming year, this is the so-called celebrity effect, who doesn't want a prosperous business.

Originally, Qiao Xi planned to drive the carriage to send his eldest brother to the examination room, but was later stopped by the eldest brother, saying that he didn't want to be in the limelight and attract too much attention, Qiao Xi couldn't resist the eldest brother, so he could only send the eldest brother to the examination room on foot.

When I arrived outside the examination room, I saw lanterns everywhere in the night, and when I looked at it, it was full of human heads.

After a while, the bell of the drum tower was ringed, the official began to roll call loudly, and the candidates whose names were read went to the corresponding passage to line up and accept all aspects of inspection.

She understands the inspection, but the problem is that after the accompanying items are checked, they are not counted, and they actually pull people to the room next to the passage, which makes Qiao Xi's heart tighten, why does everyone who comes out of it have a constipated look on their faces, what kind of inspection makes everyone change their faces?

The academy test is a very high-standard exam, and Qiao Song is no exception, after checking the items he was carrying, he followed the few people in front of him into the room that made his face change when he recognized it, and it didn't take long for Qiao Song, like everyone else, to frown.

Before entering the Tribute Courtyard, Qiao Song glanced in the direction of Qiao Xi and them, waved his hand, and gave them a reassuring look, Qiao Xi and Qiao Bai also waved their hands and asked him to take the test well.

After all the candidates entered the Tribute Academy, a gong and drum sounded, followed by a long voice shouting the lock.

As soon as the candidates enter the examination room, each session has to stay in it for two days, and eating, drinking, and lazing are carried out in a small space.

In the same way, the people who saw them off would not wait outside for two days without being stupid, and as soon as the Gongyuan closed, the people who sent them off left one after another.

Qiao Xi took one last look at the gate of the Tribute Courtyard, took his brother's hand, and left.

After entering the examination room, Qiao Song followed what the master had told him before, took his guidance card to find his position, put some of his things in place, looked at everything around him, and sat in his place waiting for the arrival of the examiner.

After a while, the examiner enters the room and hands out the papers.

After Qiao Song read the exam questions carefully, he first made a little draft in his heart, and then he worked hard to write.

When Qiao Song was answering in the examination room, Qiao Xi took a group of people to walk around the streets.

What about things, most of the month has been bought almost, this time she wants to inspect the market, the economy of Fucheng is far more prosperous than Fuyang County, and there will be more business opportunities here, now she doesn't plan to do anything, but to make preparations in advance.

Just like in the Celestial Empire, the real estate industry is definitely a profiteering industry, and it is actually similar here, the shop is in her own hands, that is, she doesn't do business, and renting it out is also a sum of money, and when she officially needs it, she can take the shop back, killing two birds with one stone.

Anyway, she has money now, so of course she has to invest it.

"Sister, are you still shopping?" Qiao Bai thought of the pile of things in the inn, and his head hurt faintly, and he didn't know if the two carriages could fit it.

"Buy, look like it fits, and definitely buy it."

"Ah~~ How much are you going to buy?" Qiao Bai's face was bitter.

"As long as it's suitable, as long as you have enough money, it's definitely right to buy more." Although Qiao Xi was answering his brother's question, the conversation between the two was not on the same channel at all.

"Sister, have you ever thought that our carriage can fit in?"

"What kind of carriage is it?" After speaking, Qiao Xi stopped abruptly and looked down at his younger brother, "The two of us seem to have a little disagreement, I'm going to buy a shop, what do you think I'm going to buy?" ”

"Buy a shop, you want to open a store in Fucheng." Qiao Bai's eyes widened and he looked at Qiao Xi in shock.

"No, I'm not going to open a store yet." She can also make a lot of money just by selling fruits, and when she goes back, she will put strawberry seedlings on the seedlings, and by the time of the Chinese New Year, she will have strawberries to eat.

In winter, there are few fruits, and you can eat fresh fruits, and no matter how much money you have, those rich merchants are willing to buy them.

When she was about to go out, she went to Lizheng and bought five acres of wasteland, asked Uncle Yun and Uncle Zhen to turn over the land, and then used the method she taught them to raise the land, and when they returned from Fucheng, they could use it just in time, killing two birds with one stone. Weichang

"Then why buy a shop, it's not a waste of money." If you don't open a store, the shop is empty, so it's not cost-effective.

"How can we waste money, we can rent out the shop we bought, the rent is cheaper, and I'm afraid that no one will rent it." The main question now is whether you can buy a shop, and in a place like Fucheng, there must be a shortage of shops here.

"But I think it's still a loss." How expensive the shop is, how much rent is it, and it is more cost-effective to keep the money by your side after thinking about it.

"If you want to do so much, you may not be able to buy a shop, and you don't want to think about what kind of place this is." Qiao Xi smiled and scratched his brother's nose.

"It seems to be." Qiao Bai scratched his head embarrassedly and continued to walk around following Qiao Xi's footsteps.

The group walked around for most of the day and didn't see a single shop for sale, so Qiao Xi decided to go back to the inn and stop shopping.

In autumn, it was quite hot during the day, but at night the weather dropped suddenly.

Rest at night, Qiao Song was fully prepared, but he was not frozen, hungry, but the others were different, shivering with the quilt frozen, and the dry food was not very prepared, many people were hungry at night, cold and hungry, and when they answered the questionnaire the next day, many people were in a trance and were not in a state.

The two days were still very fast, and in the afternoon of the next day, the door of the Gongyuan was opened again, and the candidates walked out of it together, but everyone's appearance was not very good-looking, and the spirit was a little bad.

Many candidates came from other places, and few accompanied people came together, and they couldn't afford the money, but there were also some who were local, and these people were different, and their families waited at the door early.

When they saw their children coming out, they came forward to ask how they did in the exam? Can you hit something like that? Some were haggard and silent, and some were reluctant to say what might have passed.

Qiao Xi and the others saw Qiao Song come out and shouted, "Big brother, here." Worried that the eldest brother couldn't see it, he waved his little short hand at him.

"Little sister, little brother." After Qiao Song came out, he looked around for his sister and younger brother, and when he heard his sister's voice, he realized their existence and greeted them with a smile.

"Big brother, I'm tired, I've already made delicious food, just waiting for you to go back."

When He Youjun saw the eldest prince, he took the package in his hand, turned around and stood behind the masters, leaving space for them.

Qiao Song smiled and shook his head, there are things that my little sister has prepared intimately, no matter how tired I am, I don't feel tired. As soon as I got out of the examination room, I could see them, and all the tiredness disappeared at this moment, only the warm warmth.

"Humph!" While they were talking, a person passed by, snorted heavily at Qiao Song, and walked away arrogantly.

Qiao Xi looked at the back of the man leaving, and asked his eldest brother in confusion: "Big brother, what is the situation, why did he treat you like this?" Did you provoke him? ”

"Nope." Qiao Song didn't look at the little sister, and said with a slightly uncomfortable face.

Qiao Xi squinted and stared at her eldest brother, not believing his words, if no one was upset with him for no reason, she deliberately dragged the tail note long, "Big brother~~"

"Ahem, cough~~" Qiao Song clenched his fist and put it to his lips and pretended to cough a few times, and then said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that the things you make are too fragrant, and you can only eat fragrant meals on the first day of the exam, and you can only eat dry food later, and the godmother you prepared compared with them, and he was envious and jealous." "Other people's dry food is really the kind of coarse food of dry food, and the little sister prepared some pastries and dried meat for him, and it was full of strong fragrance, if it was him, he didn't have the heart to answer.

"Dare to love is my thing's fault." This is a typical can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, the family has conditions, of course, you have to prepare some good things, the eldest brother's exam is already hard, and it is very necessary to eat something good. Meat can maintain physical strength, otherwise there is no physical strength, and how to answer questions in a trance.

"If you know, it's good."

"But you can't blame me for that." Qiao Xi's face was innocent.

"How can I blame you, it's he himself who can't withstand the temptation." In the entire Gongyuan, he had the best food, so they were envious, jealous and hateful.

"Ha, what the eldest brother said is right." How can you blame someone else for making something delicious?

"Big brother, sister, can we go back? I am hungry. "Big brother, sister, why did you forget him, Qiao Bai looked at the two of them with a bitter face.

"Of course, I'm sorry, big brother only cared about talking to your sister, and forgot that we have another one." Qiao Song looked at his younger brother apologetically and said.

"No, no. Hee-hee. Qiao Bai said with a grin.

"Let's go, go back." Qiao Xi held his younger brother in one hand and his sister in the other, and walked towards the inn where they were staying.
