Chapter 101: What's Long?
"Qiao'er-" Fang Xia Yao's eyes widened, she scolded angrily, turned her head and red eyes, and stopped paying attention to Fang Dongqiao.
"You little girl, what nonsense, you can say this and spread it, but it will ruin your sister's reputation. Hurry up, apologize to your second sister, otherwise, I, the mother, will not spare you. Yun's face changed suddenly.
Fang Dongqiao thought about it, he really couldn't say it casually.
In the previous life, this kind of joke, let alone between sisters, even between friends was a joke at will, but in this era, you really can't make this kind of joke.
If you are not careful, it is really possible to ruin your sister's life.
Thinking like this, Fang Dongqiao panicked and became anxious, and the chopsticks in his hand fell with a snap.
"Second sister, good sister, it's all sister who is not good, sister doesn't have a door to speak, sister, don't go to your heart, sister apologized to you, sister, don't ignore me, you can beat Qiao'er, scold Qiao'er, just don't ignore Qiao'er."
Fang Dongqiao shook Fang Xiayao's arm desperately, and her eyes were also red.
Fang Xiayao saw Fang Dongqiao's frightened expression, and saw that she was even a little choked up in her voice, so she couldn't bear it, hugged Fang Dongqiao, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes for her.
"Okay, don't cry, my sister didn't ignore Qiao'er. It's just that in the future, if this is the case, Qiao Er is not allowed to say it again. ”
"Qiao'er remembers, my sister can rest assured, Qiao'er will definitely not make such jokes again in the future."
It was enough to have such an experience, Fang Dongqiao didn't want this sister who really loved her to be sad because of this, and she would be estranged from her in the future.
Fang Dongqiao hugged Fang Xiayao, lay on Fang Xiayao's shoulder, and sniffed.
When Fang Xiayao saw it, she finally had a smile on her face, and she hugged Fang Dongqiao and sat down.
"Let's eat, if you don't eat, my sister will give you a hot meal for nothing."
"Well, Joel eats."
Fang Dongqiao wanted to pick up the fallen chopsticks to eat, but Fang Xiayao cleaned them up early, carefully wiped the chopsticks with a clean handkerchief, and then sent them to Fang Dongqiao's hands.
"It's ready to use now."
"Thank you, sister." Fang Dongqiao showed a big smile at Fang Xiayao, and then buried his head in eating.
Fang Xiayao saw that Fang Dongqiao's chopsticks had not touched a single chopstick on the braised fish, so she seemed to understand after thinking about it, went to the kitchen to get a new pair of chopsticks, picked out all the fish bones of half of the fish on the plate, and then sandwiched the fish meat into Fang Dongqiao's rice bowl.
"Eat, my sister has picked it clean, so that Qiao'er doesn't have to worry about getting stuck."
Fang Xiayao smiled shallowly, demure and gentle.
Fang Dongqiao didn't know why, his nose was very sour, and he sucked it hard, and put the fish meat into his mouth, eating it fragrant, it tasted so good.
Looking up at Fang Xiayao, she felt that the second sister was getting better and better.
In other words, the five children in the second room of the Fang family are not bad-looking, especially the eldest brother Fang Jingshu, who looks like Fang Dongqiao feels that his genes have mutated, and his appearance is really outstanding.
Of course, Fang Mingcheng and Yun's appearance is naturally good, otherwise all the children from the second room of the Fang family can look so good, you know, this genetics are still very important, the previous generation looks good, as long as the next generation is not crooked, they must all look good.
It's just that even if he didn't look bad before, the family didn't have enough food and clothing, all of them didn't look very good, and their bodies were very thin, but they didn't attract much attention.
During these days, the family had space and water to regulate their body and bones, and they ate fruits and vegetables produced in the space every day, but they all ate ruddy and red.
Therefore, Fang Xiayao, a beautiful embryo, although she is only twelve years old at this time, it is obvious that she has already revealed the delicate posture that a girl should have, and in a few years, her sister will definitely be stepped on by the matchmaker.
Just thinking that her sister didn't know which cow dung to go to, the expression on Fang Dongqiao's face showed a bit of gritted teeth.
"Jo'er, what's wrong with you? Could it be that my sister didn't pick out the fish bones clean, and you got stuck in your throat? ”
Fang Xiayao was peeling prawns for Fang Dongqiao next to her, and naturally the expression on Fang Dongqiao's face was clear.
At this time, she was shocked and anxious.
Fang Dongqiao hurriedly shook his head.
"No, I didn't get stuck in my throat, I just ate it too quickly just now, and I swallowed it a little."
"You little girl, why are you in such a hurry, reckless, no one is robbing you of this, you just eat slowly, sister will go and get you a cup of warm tea." Fang Xiayao nagged and poured Fang Dongqiao a cup of tea.
Fang Dongqiao didn't think Fang Xia Yao was nagging her at all, her heart was warm, but she felt very happy.
Sister is so nice!
Yun saw that the two sisters really didn't have any knots, but they were relieved and continued to embroider.
For a while, there was only the sound of Fang Dongqiao eating, the sound of Fang Xiayao peeling prawns, and the sound of Yun's picking needles and embroidering in the room, all of which were finely fragmented, and they couldn't be heard, and there seemed to be another sound of reading outside the window, which seemed to come from the Fang family's study.
One-room, peaceful, cozy.
At dusk, the sunset reflected the red sky on the horizon, and between the mountains and fields, a touch of azure after the rain gradually entered the eyes of the villagers working in the crops.
The visitor's eyes were warm, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and between his steps, the evening breeze gently patted his clothes, and the son was like jade, and he was a handsome and beautiful man.
"This is the eldest man in the second room of the Fang family, right?" The aunt of the Liu family asked uncertainly.
"That's right, I look like a scholar from the Mingcheng family."
Uncle Liu rubbed his eyes, looked at it carefully for a while, and nodded affirmatively towards his mother-in-law.
"What's the length of this book? Half a year ago, when we came to Fangjia Village to visit relatives, we had seen Brother Shu'er, and at that time, I didn't see Brother Shu'er look like this. ”
The aunt of the Liu family said with great envy.
There was an episode on the way home for Fang Jingshu here, and Fang Dongqiao was looking forward to his eldest brother Fang Jingshu at the door early in the morning.
Gong Tianyu saw that Fang Dongqiao had run in and out several times, just waiting for Fang Jingshu to go home, he felt awkward, this was uncomfortable, so he hurriedly grabbed Fang Dongqiao and didn't let her run out to look at it anymore.
"Sister Qiao'er, your eldest brother will definitely come back when he should come back, you ran in and out, but it was in vain."
"Aren't I anxious to know how my eldest brother did in the exam?"
Fang Dongqiao ran out of the door again and looked around to see if Fang Jingshu had come back.
"Sister Qiao'er, it's useless for you to be anxious, let's go in, isn't it the same to wait for your eldest brother at home?" Gong Tianyu took Fang Dongqiao's hand.
"That's true, but I still want to wait here for my eldest brother to come back. I think that no matter whether the eldest brother does well in the exam or not, with my little sister waiting for him to go home like this, and the eldest brother looks at me, even if he fails the exam, he will be in a better mood. ”
This is the same as the college entrance examination in the previous life, although Fang Dongqiao believes that with the strength of the eldest brother, there will be no problem, but he can't help but worry, worried that if the performance on the spot is abnormal, her eldest brother will cry his nose.
"What kind of truth do you have, don't you still believe in your eldest brother? According to the master, your eldest brother will not fail the test, this is just the first county test, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, there will be the government test, the hospital test, and then there will be the township test, the hall test, according to your worrying method, you are careful that your hair will be gray at a young age. ”
Gong Tianyu definitely didn't say it because he didn't like Fang Dongqiao to care so much about Fang Jingshu.
When Fang Dongqiao heard Gong Tianyu say this, he couldn't help but wrinkle his little nose.
"It's just a show, do you have to take so many exams?" This is more difficult than the college entrance examination.
"Of course not, as long as you pass three exams, this is the county exam, after taking the prefectural and hospital exams in the next two days, as long as your eldest brother passes, he will have the name of Xiucai, and if he passes the exam, he will be a student, and a student will be eligible to participate in the imperial examination."
"If your eldest brother passes the exam and gets a gift, not only can you enter the state for free, but you can also get the rice and silver taels issued by the imperial court on a monthly basis. Of course, the son of a rich family, his parents can also get a student qualification if they donate some silver, but at most it is an increase in life, or it is an epiphysis, and this talent is also graded. ”
Finally, there is a place where Fang Dongqiao is not as good as him, Gong Tianyu proudly explained to Fang Dongqiao.
"Then according to what you say, if you have money, you don't need to take the test, and you can donate everything in silver."
It seems that everywhere it is the same, the rich and powerful are always superior.
Fang Dongqiao was disdainful, but Gong Tianyu didn't think there was anything about it.
"What's this, not everyone can afford to donate that silver, the master told you, a student qualification has to be donated with 10,000 taels of silver, if you wait until you have to donate an official, even if it is a Qipin county order, it will cost 100,000 snowflakes of silver, how can it be so easy."
"Does this donor have a clear price?" Fang Dongqiao was surprised.
"Isn't the emperor worried, this official is donated with silver, and this can still be ......?"
Before Fang Dongqiao finished speaking, Gong Tianyu glared at Fang Dongqiao.
"How can there be so many official positions in the imperial court that can be donated with silver, of course, most of the officials are based on their real talent and learning to participate in the imperial examination. What's more, no matter how you donate silver, the official position is definitely not a real shortage, and the grade will reach the top when it reaches the fifth grade, and it will be impossible to go up again. ”
"Oh, I see, that's pretty much it." Fang Dongqiao listened to this and balanced his heart.
"But little brother, how do you know so much? Did your father ever be the examiner? Or have some of your family donated silver to buy officials? ”
Hmph –
When Gong Tianyu heard Fang Dongqiao say this, he had a cold face on the spot and glared at Fang Dongqiao unhappily.
"What kind of silver does the master's family need to donate, the master's family is a hereditary position."
