Time flies, three years have passed in a blink of an eye, Jixiang has never found the businessman, and he feels guilty, so he can only continue to follow the dart game to the north and south.

Fu Bao has also grown into a six-year-old girl, and she and Phantom Fox now spend more time in the mountains than at home.

Old Man Xiang and Grandma Xiang were worried about Fu Bao's safety at first, but when they saw the wooden bracelet in Fu Bao's hand turn into a long vine in a blink of an eye, beating a blind bear who came to invade him with his head in his hands.

There is also the phantom fox, when it stood in front of a few fierce wild boars, those wild boars couldn't move, and finally was braceleted by Fu Bao's hand, transformed into a wooden sword, and directly stabbed several wild boars to death, which really put his heart at ease.

Xiao Hei of the family has given birth to two calves, but unfortunately they have not been kept, one was bought by the village chief, and the other was taken away by his sister Xiang Hanqin.

The brother-in-law is a butcher, and having an ox cart is indeed a lot of labor-saving for him, of course, Xiang Hanqin will not take her eldest brother's calves for no reason, she got five big fat pigs, and the beautiful name is called barter.

Of course, the old man Xiang didn't want to ask for his sister's pig, he really wanted to give it, and it was okay to give a pig, but Xiang Hanqin was a person who admitted death, and she didn't want her eldest brother to be a difficult person.

It's just that she looked at Shen Miaoqin's stomach and began to get anxious, it's been three years, and there is no movement in her stomach at all, although Shen Miaoqin is only twenty years old, but it's also anxious to see a pregnancy.

"Sister-in-law, have you made a blessing...... The doctor showed Miaoqin, why is she not pregnant yet? ”

"Don't worry, Jixiang is always not at home, it's normal not to be pregnant, anyway, I have grandchildren, I'm really not in a hurry." Grandma Xiang glanced at Xiang Hanqin and said with a smile.

Also, the eldest brother and sister-in-law have six grandchildren and a granddaughter, and even Xiangchu has to look at each other, once they get married, within two years, the eldest brother may even have a great-grandson, and he is really not in a hurry.

"Sister-in-law, do you feel that something seems wrong in the past two years, how long has it not rained?" Xiang Hanqin felt a little hot, where would it be so hot at the end of April, and couldn't help but look up at the sky and said.

"Yes, there was little rain since last year, and the harvest in the fields was not good, but fortunately, Xiangqian is a talented man, and our family's land tax is exempted, and your third brother's family only paid the tax of three acres of land." Grandma Xiang said.

A Xiucai can be exempted from 20 acres of land tax, the old man Xiang's family has 13 acres of land, and Xianghanhe's family has 10 acres of land, so he only needs to pay 3 acres of land tax.

And because Xiangqian is a showman, he can also be exempted from two servitudes in the family, so their family does not need to pay tribute silver for the past three years, except for the person tax, they can save a lot of silver.

"Yes, fortunately, our family doesn't have a field, otherwise we would have to pay the field tax, and the government also exempted my family's slaughter tax, which is a loss of Xiangqian, otherwise my third brother's family and I will be hungry."

Grandma Xiang smiled, in fact, in the past three years, the grain in their backyard has been planted with dozens of stubble, and the amount is not too much in the unit of 10,000 stones (one stone is equal to 120 catties).

By the way, sister-in-law, I also heard my eldest brother say that the mountain chief of Qingshan Academy is going to let Xiangqian take the exam. Xiang Hanqin said with a smile.

"Yes, Tian Fuzi thinks that my family Xiangqian can try the August scientific examination this year, but the road is far away, and I heard that it will take more than a month, I am really worried." Grandma Xiang's face was a little bad.

"Sister-in-law, I have discussed with my father-in-law, Xiangqian went to catch the exam, and he also needed to spend silver along the way, so you should collect the silver first." Xiang Hanqin took out two silver tickets of ten taels from his purse.

"This can't be done, then I can collect your money, and you still have Du Kang to raise." Of course, Grandma Xiang refused to take the silver ticket in Xiang Hanqin's hand, and these twenty taels are estimated to be most of the silver taels in Hanqin's family.

"Take it, this is a piece of Hanqin's heart." Old Man Xiang walked in and said with a smile.

Grandma Xiang immediately understood what Old Man Xiang meant, and took twenty taels of silver from Hanqin here, which he could make up for from other places.

"I'll go to the county seat to buy a carriage in two days, and this time I'll let Jixiang and Xiangyuan accompany Xiangyuan to move there, anyway, the other two students of Master Tian will also go, and everyone will take care of them together." Old Man Xiang said.

After listening to the words of the old man Xiang, Grandma Xiang's heart was relieved a lot, auspicious to go south and north, she already had a lot of experience, plus Xiangyuan was clever and would take care of people, accompanied by the two of them, Xiang Qian definitely didn't have to worry about other things.

"Big brother, when will you go to the county seat and tell me, I will take Du Kang to Qingshan Academy to sign up for study, no matter what, I will always take the test for a child." Xiang Hanqin hurriedly said.

Old man Xiang was a little depressed when he heard it, his six grandsons, except for Xiang Qian, the other five were really not reading materials, and a child didn't pass the exam for two years, so he simply went home and didn't study.

I didn't expect a few children to fail to study, but the practice of martial arts was very smooth, basically learned all the moves of Shen Miaoqin, and a few people could catch wild boars when they went up the mountain, and Shen Miaoqin had the feeling of teaching apprentices to starve to death of their masters.

"Big brother, what's wrong with you." Hanqin saw that the old man was in a daze, and couldn't help but raise his voice.

Old man Xiang came back to his senses, and hurriedly nodded and agreed, Du Kang would come to the house every day to practice martial arts with Shen Miaoqin, and the rest of the time the old man also enlightened him by the way, and finally knew a few words, and he was able to go to school in Qingshan Private School.

A few days later, Old Man Xiang asked Fugui to take them to the county seat in an ox cart, the butcher and Xiang Hanqin took Du Kang to Qingshan Academy, and Old Man Xiang went to the market where cattle were bought and sold.

A fat and strong horse costs eighty taels of silver, and the old man Xiang is very moved, but thinking of the habits of the people in the village, he finally spent forty taels of silver to buy a relatively thin pony, and spent ten taels of silver to buy a medium-sized carriage.

Take advantage of the saddle (za

gkuai) set the carriage in the neutral, and the old man began to learn how to drive with the horseman next to him, he could drive an ox cart, but the carriage was still in contact with it for the first time.

Old Man Xiang sat on the frame of the carriage, pulled the rope of the horse, and began to give orders to the pony according to the few movements that the coachman had just taught, go, stop, stop......

The pony and the old man Xiang ran into each other, and finally stumbled back to Xiangzhang Village, and the villagers didn't think much about it when they saw the old man Xiang coming back with the carriage.

In the past, Jixiang would always set up the carriage of the dart board to go home, and everyone was not surprised, so this time the old man Xiang set up his own carriage to go home, which did not attract the attention of the villagers at all.

But there is one person who has noticed, that is Xianghantu, this horse is completely different from the horse that Jixiang brought back before, he has understood what is going on, and his heart is even more depressed.
