"I want to read!"

Zhu Hongyu looked at Zhan Ao, thinking that it was Sister-in-law Gu's words yesterday that made him have some thoughts in his heart.

But...... Today's situation is very different from what it used to be.

"Boys should study to gain fame, but now that there is a plague in the village, you also have to think about your sister and sister."

"Sister, if I don't study well, how can I turn over in front of Liu?"

Zhu Hongyu is well aware of the admission rate of the ancient imperial examination, and also knows that it is difficult to produce a noble son in such a remote place.

"Of course the book has to be read, but ...... Not in a hurry. You see, it's mid-April now, and it's the Duanyang Festival in more than ten days. After the Duanyang Festival, my sister will definitely send you to study, how about it? ”

Zhan Ao suddenly became excited, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, sister." I will repay you for your great kindness in the future. ”

Zhu Hongyu saw that her younger brother was happy, and a trace of cheerful ripples stirred up in her heart, but the ripples quickly dissipated.

She knew that studying meant that she couldn't engage in production, and that her family had to support her.

After eating, Zhan Ao put away the dishes and chopsticks, Amber did some rough needlework, and Zhu Hongyu was already lying on the bed.

Amber turned off the lights after finishing her work and slept in the same bed with Zhu Hongyu at night, and she felt her sister tossing and turning, so she came over.

"Sister, can't you sleep?"

"Hmm."

Zhu Hongyu sighed, feeling that her left rib was starting to hurt again, and she knew that this was not a good sign.

"Because of the Occupancy Thing?"

Zhu Hongyu lay on the bed and said "um".

"Sister, it doesn't cost much money to study."

"But in this imperial examination, there are very few people, if he has no fame, should we keep him?"

"Tong Sheng is still very good in the test, sister, you can agree to his thoughts."

But the child is really not golden.

For example, Pu Songling has not been admitted to Xiucai for decades, and he is a child.

How will Zhanao choose? After being a child, you go home and farm?

Impossible, he will still take the exam year after year, like thousands of people in ancient China, until he touches his unattainable dream......

"He is the only man in the family, and he can only come out." Zhu Hongyu turned sideways and showed a difficult smile, "Sister will double her efforts to make money tomorrow." ”

Tossing and turning all night, and when Zhu Hongyu fell asleep, the sky was bright.

In the morning, Zhu Hongyu snoozes for a while, and when she gets up, it is almost noon.

Zhan Ao was already studying his homework in the room, and Amber was in charge of cooking. She knew that her sister was going out to collect medicine, so she steamed rice and pinched two rice balls and wrapped them in a cloth towel.

Zhu Hongyu came to the kitchen, a little dazed.

"Amber, why didn't you wake me up? Without further ado, I packed up and hurried away. ”

"Sister, the rice balls I wrapped for you are put in the back basket, don't forget to use them."

Zhu Hongyu answered, quickly fetched water and freshened up, and the smoke on her back disappeared.

The artemisia annua in the mountains is still crazy and grows wildly, and the vermilion jade is specially picked for tenderness, and it took three hours to pick today's share.

Out of the mountain, Zhu Hongyu went home first, fried a bowl full of mugwort leaf cakes, and wrapped them in a cloth towel.

Naturally, she couldn't forget what she wanted to eat at night, but when she arrived at Sanguan Temple, the sun was setting in the west, and there was no one in the courtyard.

There were not many patients in Runye today, so he sat in the courtyard and waited for Zhu Hongyu to come.

As soon as Zhu Hongyu entered the door, she saw Runye sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun, which was very comfortable.

It's really a stealing half a day's leisure.

"I'm late today, so I'm here now."

As she spoke, Zhu Hongyu handed a bowl of mugwort leaf cakes in her hand to Runye, and looked at Runye with a smile.

Runye woke up suddenly, and the scroll in his hand fell to the ground.

He picked it up, closed the book, and came to his senses.

"It's okay, I'm afraid you won't come."
