After three days of being so busy, the imperial examination came to an end, and Huaiyuan Street stopped.

The house next door was about to move home because Zhou Hanwen was going to move home, and everyone in the house decided to go back to their respective homes, and they quit the rent at once.

Zhao Yunlan: "Zhou Tanhua has a house in the capital, why do you want to rent a house outside?" ”

Li Mingren: "None of his family was in the capital before, so he thought it was too lonely to live alone, so he thought about moving out." Now that his wife has also come to the capital, he immediately moved back. ”

Zhao Yunlan: "Then let's visit another day!" Zhou Tanhua has already decided to serve in the Hanlin Academy, so didn't he say that he wanted to take the path of a military general? What do you plan to do in the future? ”

Li Mingren: "I don't know, he should go to work first, and then look at the transfer when he finds an opportunity." Hey~ People are really different, people are too many roads and worry about how to change the road, and I still have to worry about how long this road will take. ”

This dynasty is still about the same, the first and third are all directly serving in the Hanlin Academy, and the second and third are waiting for the election of officials. And Jinshi without a background may not be selected for a few years, or it is not good. Those who participated in Enke's second and third generations of officials had their families to take care of their families, and they occupied good positions in advance.

Zhao Yunlan: "Don't worry, everything is the best arrangement, just take advantage of this time to take a look at the local chronicles and learn about the customs of other places." ”

Li Mingren smiled, and was comforted by his own lady every time.

Li Mingli is also preparing to leave for home, now that the weather is warm, it is not so difficult to hurry, Zhao Yunlan prepared some food for Li Mingli and a few people on the way, and explained the matters to be arranged for Li Mingli to go home, and sent a few people out of the city.

Li Mingli went out of the city and was sorting out the things explained by his sister-in-law, one was to collect ducks, the other was to pick peppers, and he was about to start picking when he went back, Li Mingli had to keep an eye on it. There are also Li Bao's side, Zhang Carpenter's place, and the soap shop, which all involve transferring a group of people to the capital, and there must be an important thing to do is the school.

In addition to his own affairs, he also has to help his eldest brother to thank Mrs. Liu, so let the fourth child do it, they are all scholars, so it is convenient to express gratitude.

Li Mingli thought about it, there should be nothing to do, so he chatted with Li Dashan with a match, this time I went back and the last time I came on the same road, but the scenery is different in different seasons, and the third child of Han Han has also learned to appreciate the scenery.

……

Originally, Li Mingren and his wife decided to visit Zhou's house, but Wen Zhiyu sent a post to invite the villagers of Jinzhou City to get together at the house. Wen Zhiyu obviously made a fortune, so he could buy a house in the capital, but this house is small, but the location is good, and it is convenient to enter the palace in the future!

Li Mingren brought a set of fine pen, ink, paper and inkstone to the banquet alone, and the villagers did not bring their families, this time it was a gathering of men. This time, Wen Zhiyu held a banquet of flowing water, the boundary is not big, but it is very good, anyway, Li Mingren thinks it is very fun, and everyone in the middle is playing with Feihua Ling, composing poems and music, and having fun.

Zhao Yunlan thought that this list of tanhua had an appointment, and she should also visit Zhuangyuanlang, although she was not familiar with it, she couldn't teach people to make mistakes, it could be regarded as a formality. There are a lot of people who have been walking around each other in the past few days, so don't make enemies for yourself at this time, so I told Li Mingren to hand over a post.

This time, the champion can be regarded as a dark horse, ranking eighth when he will try, who would have thought that it would be the champion in the end. Zhao Yunlan asked Li Hua to inquire, this Liang Musheng came from the Liang family in Qingfeng County, the Liang family is very famous in Qingfeng County, the Liang family's family education is very strict, and the Liang family's studies are also top in this generation.

Li Mingren sent a post, and the Liang family accepted it but did not invite it, but only gave a gift in return. Liang Musheng is a low-key champion, except for some acquaintances, the rest of them were not invited to the banquet. Li Mingren didn't care either, so it would be good to save some trouble.

When the day of visiting Zhou's mansion came, Zhao Yunlan prepared her own soap, and also picked a jade pendant from the previous gift list, a set of four treasures in the study, two sets of jewelry and home-made food as a gift and followed Li Mingren to the door.

Zhou Hanwen took his wife and a son and a daughter to greet Li Mingren and his wife in the front yard.

Mrs. Zhou's surname is Qiu, and her name is Shuhui. is younger than Zhou Hanwen, followed by a son and a daughter, the son is called Zhou Dunwei is eight years old, and the daughter Zhou Jieyue is five years old, with big eyes, looking so cute.

Zhao Yunlan thought about Ruiwen, and stared at the two children without blinking. Li Mingren gently pulled Yunlan's sleeve before Zhao Yunlan came back to his senses.

"Mrs. Zhou, forgive me, I thought of my own child, and I lost my mind for a while." Zhao Yunlan generously explained her inappropriateness.

Qiu Shuhui smiled: "It's okay, they are all mothers, and I understand." Sister Yunlan just calls me sister, but don't call Mrs. Zhou, it seems that we are unfamiliar. ”

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "Yes, Sister Hui." ”

Several people sat in the hall, Li Mingren took out the jade pendant and the four treasures of the study room and gave them to Zhou Hanwen, the jade pendant was given to Zhou Tanhua, and the four treasures of the study room were given to Zhou Dunwei. Zhao Yunlan also took out two sets of jewelry, one for Qiu Shuhui and one for Zhou Jieyue.

"Come and thank Uncle Li and Auntie." Qiu Shuhui beckoned to her child.

Zhou Dunwei and Zhou Jieyue stepped forward: "Thank you, Uncle Li, aunt." ”

Zhao Yunlan smiled and hurriedly said, "Sit down, I don't have these things." ”

Zhou Hanwen and Li Mingren wanted to talk about something, and Zhao Yunlan was taken by Qiu Shuhui to go to the garden.

The Zhou house is very large, much larger than the Li family's house in Jinzhou City. But the garden was a little empty, and Qiu Shuhui was a little embarrassed and said: "This house has not been occupied for a long time, and no one has taken care of it, which makes Yunlan's sister smile." ”

Zhao Yunlan: "Where is it, I look very good." In this weather, there are no obstacles here, but you can run a kite. ”

Qiu Shuhui: "Eh, this is a good proposal, we can fly a kite, the weather is just right today!" ”

Zhao Yunlan smiled, of course, it was a guest and a host, and Mrs. Zhou really said that the wind is the rain.

Zhou Jieyue followed beside her, and she was so happy to hear that she wanted to fly a kite, and it was time for children of this age to play.

"Mother, I want to fly a kite too."

Qiu Shuhui said: "Have you finished writing today's big characters?" ”

Zhou Jieyue's face frowned, lowered her head and turned around silently to leave.

Zhao Yunlan couldn't bear to see the child like this, so she said, "Let the child play for a while, Sister Hui." ”

Qiu Shuhui is not a tendon, some guests nodded in agreement, Xiao Jieyue turned her face and smiled at Zhao Yunlan.

The backyard is playing happily, and the chatting between Li Mingren and Zhou Hanwen in the front yard is also excited.
