Pu Cao didn't want to guess, nor did she want to guess what the word "please" was, she was just glad that someone could study and ponder together, which was definitely better than her groping alone with a vague memory. After all, she lived away from home when she was in junior high school in her previous life, and she only barely remembered a few of the trivial tasks of planting rice when she played behind her parents when she was a child.

As the old saying goes, three stinkers top one Zhuge Liang. Before, Wu Boxu was still a little resistant in his heart, and he wouldn't say much if he didn't ask about Pucao, but later Xu saw that Pucao breeding and fine rice seedlings were very novel, and he slowly saw that he was happy to hunt, and he was much more active and diligent every day @ than Pucao. Pucao is also a shameless question, but if there is something that you don't understand, you must pull Uncle Wu to solve your doubts, and occasionally bring out some new ideas about agricultural planting in the previous life, which makes Uncle Wu praise, this old and young people combine the old and new knowledge and experience in their wombs, and it is a rare fit to go smoothly, seeing the rice seedlings emerging out of the soil, the two have also become New Year's friends.

Of course, he was almost tired of Chu Fei, who was studying silently behind the two of them, and often he copied most of the dialogues in a day. After dinner in the evening, he had to sort out and re-record. That serious appearance, even the pampas who have always disliked him have changed.

Pucao is so busy, it is inevitable that sometimes he can't take care of everyone's food, the two children are greedy to play and hungry fast, often the east family, the west family, eat a hundred family meals, which makes Pucao very distressed. Fang Jie saw it, so he found a day to go back to the city and bring the big girl Chunying into Zhang's house, responsible for daily laundry and cooking.

Chunying is a gentle character, doesn't talk much, is not lazy in doing work, and is very patient in taking care of the two children. Pu Cao looked at it coldly for a few days and was very satisfied, and rewarded her with a satin as a compliment. Of course, the master of the spring warbler also got countless fragrant kisses, and he was more and more happy every day, but whenever he returned to the city, he had to walk around to find some good jewelry and good materials, and prepare to marry a daughter-in-law in autumn.

The days are approaching in mid-March, and the people in the village are willing to gather in one place to gossip a few words after being busy these days, especially a few old men, who open the ancestral hall every day and go in to burn incense and pray. There is no other reason, the two scholars in the village are going to take the Xiucai test.

Speaking of which, how many generations of people in Nangou Village have not had a show, and it has always been a regret in everyone's hearts. And they are all highly valued by Mr., and taking a show is almost a sure thing, and everyone feels honored, so the expectation is no less than that of Zhang and Chen.

Early in the morning on the day of the exam, almost every family in the village rushed to the entrance of the village to see off Zhang and Chen's families, and told them that when the list was announced, they must send someone back to deliver the letter.

Li Zheng and his wife responded again and again, and Pu Cao took Peach Blossom and Shanzi to sit in the car and nodded with a smile. Fang Jie estimated that it would not be too early to persuade everyone to go home, and then urged Dongzi to go on the road as soon as possible.

According to Pu Cao's understanding, the examination of Xiucai in this time and space is the same as the high school entrance examination in the previous life, which is a very important threshold. But she didn't expect that it was also popular to accompany the exam here, and the Fang family's carriage was still far away from Defuxue, and it was already difficult to move an inch. All kinds of ox carts, horse-drawn carts, and even sedan chairs crowded the streets where the school was located, and countless men, women, and children in shabby or rich clothes pushed and shoved, hoping to sharpen their heads and drill to the front.

Fang Jie had seen such a scene a long time ago, so he naturally made preparations. He smiled and led everyone to squeeze against the wall to the restaurant near Fuxue and entered the reserved box. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and soon Dongzi also brought in Zhang Gui and Shengzi, who were dressed in new clothes.

Everyone inevitably gave another instruction, and then sent two somewhat excited scholars to the academy for the exam. After a long morning, the door of the academy finally opened again.

The scholars came out one after another, looking for their own mothers and families. Naturally, there are those who have a smile on their faces, and there are those who want to cry without tears. Zhang Gui and Shengzi's faces are fine, and the questions are not difficult. Although everyone was worried, they didn't want to put too much pressure on the two, so they had a lively meal together, and then let the two children go back to tell the teacher.

Li Zheng and his wife carried the big stone high in their hearts, and they didn't have the heart to walk around the street, so they went back to the Fang family's guest room early to rest. Pu Cao didn't have anything to worry about, and led the two children to go to the two restaurants with Fang Jie, check the accounts, and eat two snacks before going back to rest.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Dongzi quietly went out of the house. When everyone got together for breakfast, he was already jumping back to report the good news, it turned out that Zhang Gui and Shengzi were both on the list, and now they are real new talents.

Li Zheng and his wife excitedly grabbed Dongzi and didn't let go, I don't know where he got the news, after all, the list hasn't been posted yet.

It turns out that this test is not as strict as the top student in the entrance examination, but anyone in the city who has some ways can find out the news earlier. Dongzi had already bought off a small scribe who copied the list yesterday, but it was extremely easy to remember the names of two people, and the scribe sent the news out early this morning, and easily earned five taels of silver.

Everyone was overjoyed after hearing this, and Li Zheng and his wife even gave Fang Jie a big gift. Fang Jie naturally avoided it, and instead arranged a carriage to send everyone back to the village to prepare a celebratory banquet. In the afternoon, he will send two more Xiao Xiucai who say goodbye to Mr. to go back together, and then the village can have a banquet.

Li Zheng and his wife were overjoyed, praised one after another, and hurried back to the village with the grass.

Several old people in the village waited under the willow tree at the entrance of the village early in the morning, chatting and looking at the mountain road. Seeing the carriage coming back, everyone came forward to inquire about it, and when they heard that the two children were now all talented masters, everyone was as happy as children.

Pu Cao and Mrs. Li Zheng trotted home to arrange the banquet, and the two had already discussed it on the way. The two families jointly organized a banquet, killed a pig, and set up a three-day flowing water banquet, and the location was arranged in the spacious ancestral compound.

The Chen family and the Liu family were even more happy when they heard that Zhang Gui had won the show, and they all put down their work to help. Soon, Nangou Village even got the news of the old dog lying in the grass nest and humming, and the whole village was completely boiling. The sound of firecrackers, the sound of killing pigs, the cheers of children, and the laughter of old people shook the birds and birds flying overhead.

This excitement was enough to celebrate for two days, and on the first day, the villagers pulled two Xiaoxiu to drink until the moon was empty. On the second day, people from the neighboring villages also came to feast and celebrate, and it was tossed until half of the night.

Pu Cao and the little daughters-in-law who helped were so tired that they turned on their backs, and finally distributed the leftovers and dry food and went home to rest.

Zhang Guier and Shengzi were admitted to Xiucai so smoothly, which really made the two of them proud. The old man somewhere learned about the birthdays of the two, and specially sent someone to invite Pucao and Lizheng to go to the house, and told the two families that he would personally perform the crown ceremony for the two children. Li Zheng and his wife were overjoyed, although Pu Cao didn't know how much glory it was, but she thought about saving her own Zhang Luo wine banquet and being less tired, so she nodded and agreed.

So, on a sunny spring day, Zhang Gui and Shengzi tied their hair together and inserted boxwood hairpins. A group of talented brothers in the school came to congratulate, or sent books or pen and ink, and the scene was not lively.

Of course, after the crown ceremony, Pu Cao and Li Zheng's family naturally sent a rich thank you gift to Mr., whose value is enough to hold a good banquet on three tables, and it is even more disadvantageous than their own crown ceremony. But in the words of Mrs. Lizheng, the son can be valued by Mr. and perform the crown ceremony in person, which is a very proud and glorious thing, and it can't be bought with silver.

Pu Cao pursed her lips and smiled, agreeing with her words.

After the crown ceremony, the two Xiaoxiu were directly left in Fuxue to continue their studies, because Mr. Zhuye had the ambition to teach the two youngest Jinshi in the Snow Country, so he was ready to ask them to enter Beijing again in June to take the big exam.

Pu Cao was a little stunned when she heard this, although she didn't know much about the ancient imperial examination system in her previous life, she also knew that Xiucai was followed by a lifter, and then she could take the top exam. Who knows if this time and space is because there are too few people to read or some other reason, but I actually saved a step.

Now Zhang Gui and Shengzi are only fifteen years old, and they will be adults, and they still lack the quality of life, and there is no benefit in taking exams like this, so it is better to study for two more years and then enter Beijing to seek better development.

I don't want that gentleman to be a very proud man, and he can't listen to anyone at all. Li Zheng and his wife planted vegetables in this winter and really made a fortune, and they consciously did not send their son into the city.

Pu Cao was soft-spoken, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement, thinking that if Zhang Guier couldn't pass the Jinshi exam, he should be sent to the travel chief to see it.

In this way, this important event was decided, and the two families left enough money for the children to return to the village to get busy.

In April, seeing that the sun is getting warmer and warmer, the residual snow in the fields outside the village has been cleaned, and each family has begun to pick up pickaxes and plows, and is ready to carefully turn over their own two acres of fertile fields to start planting vegetable seedlings.

In the past, when the village held a water banquet, relatives and friends in each village had already received the news, and these days they couldn't wait to see the sky came to ask when the vegetable seedlings could be transported back. The people in the village are also very annoying, and often pull the grass as a shield. Pucao has no acquaintances in other villages except for the Li family, and this black face is also handy, and the ground temperature is not enough, and the vegetable seedlings will freeze to death early in the field, and they will completely send people away.

The experimental field where the Zhang family is preparing to plant rice is the first choice of the two acres of river beach land left by Zhang Er's family. That piece of land was bought for Pucao when Chun Nier came forward, and now she has the title deed in her hand, and Pucao can toss it as much as she wants.

The base of the river beach is the silt formed by many years of impact, which is very fertile, and it is close to the water for easy watering, which is considered to occupy the convenience of the land, and is very suitable for planting rice.

Liu Housheng, Dong Si and the Chen brothers have been helping Pucao to divert water to wash the fields these days, Pucao was angry for a while, and sprinkled salt to cut off the life of Zhang Er's family, but now it is his turn to use this land and begin to regret it. She was afraid that the residual salt in the soil would cause the rice planting to fail, so she had to wash it seven or eight times before she was relieved.

(Ruixue's ending, many friends said that they were in a hurry, and I tried my best to complete this small garden, so I thought about it a lot, and it was very difficult to write, and the speed was really not fast.) I'll write as much as I send every day, don't worry, I'm trying to finish it as much as possible. These were written last night and this morning, and they were passed on together, haha, I feel a lot better when I look at it, keep it up. ）
