Chapter Ninety-Nine: Preparation

"Yu'er, where's your brother?"

"He was still harvesting wheat in the fields."

"When is this happening, why are you still harvesting wheat in the field, how can you celebrate and celebrate after taking the exam."

"Sister Ermei, if you celebrate, you won't be exempted, my brother is just a child, just know it, don't make a big fuss."

Yang Ermei was too excited just now, but when she thought about it now, Brother Sheng was admitted to Tongsheng, and he would have to take the test in the future.

"It's still thoughtful, then don't do it this time, and when your brother is admitted to Xiucai, you have to do a big one."

When Yang Ermei took her son back and the three of them went to the field together, Su Lao Er turned his head to look at the girl walking on the side.

"Girl, did your brother really take the middle school entrance examination?"

"Dad, this is a true thing, everyone has come to the house to inform them, is there still a fake, isn't it normal for my brother to be admitted to Tongsheng?"

It wasn't until this meeting that Su Lao Er accepted the fact that his son was admitted to Tongsheng.

Lian saw the three of them come back and looked at Su Yu.

"Yu'er, what are the officials doing at home?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the eldest brother has been admitted to the middle school, and the official errand came to the house to report the good news, but this person has already left."

"What, your eldest brother has been admitted to Tongsheng!"

The Lian clan was so surprised that the sound was not small, and several people in the field also heard it, and the sickle in Su Sheng's hand fell directly to the ground.

"It's a real mother, the eldest brother was admitted to the middle school."

After Su Yu finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Su Sheng.

"Congratulations, big brother."

"I still want to thank my sister."

Su Sheng knew that if he didn't have his sister, he wouldn't have worked so hard, and he wouldn't have been able to pass the Tongsheng exam.

"Congratulations, young master."

A few people next to him also came to say hello.

"When I go back, I will send you a big red envelope, Aunt Zhou will add vegetables at night, what is delicious and what to do, you look at the arrangement."

"Thank you, girl."

It is a happy event for children to take the exam, although the Su family does not set up a banquet to invite the villagers, but it is still necessary to celebrate in their own home.

The family worked as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, the sun went down and took a morning job, went home to take a bath, and Zhou went to the stove to work, Lian's helped to lay a hand, Su Yu took a bath and changed his wife to wash, she helped to lay hands on the side, and waited for Lian's to come back to change Zhou's back to wash.

For the lady and the girl to come to help, Zhou no longer has any psychological burden.

I am happy today, I made a total of eight dishes and one soup, there are young masters who love to eat and girls who love to eat, if she only does what young masters love to eat, the lord and his wife will definitely be unhappy, and now the people in the family can see that at home, even the young master is not as good as the girl's status in the family. However, several subordinates of the Su family are very convinced, and after staying in the Su family for a long time, they naturally know that the Su family can get to this point today because of all the girls.

On the dinner table, in the center is a braised carp, braised pork, steamed pork ribs, fried river prawns, fried small fish and so on. Bai Mo took a jar of wine and another jar of rice wine from the low cabinet next to him.

All the wine made by Suyu loves to drink, Suyu made more last year, enough to make more than 20 jars, and the wild grapes in the mountains are very much and do not cost money. I also made some rice wine, especially for a few big men in the family.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was very strict with the wine-making section, and if the backstage was not hard, there was no need to think about contaminating it, so Suyu wine-making was just done quietly, and it was only drunk by his own family after brewing, and he didn't even give it away.

Bai Mo likes to drink the girl's wine the most, and after opening it, the woman poured a glass on her side, and the man poured rice wine.

"Come, let's have a drink, and I wish my eldest brother the middle school boy."

Tonight, everyone sat at a table, Bai Mo quickly got up and poured another cup for one person.

"Drink as much as you like tonight, and don't get it anymore."

"Thank you, girl."

"This is a red envelope promised to you, one for each person."

Su Yu got up, took the red envelope from the basket on the side, and gave one to one person. Bai Mo is a big heart, and when the red seal is poured out of his hand, he sees that there are small silver bills inside, adding up to about five taels.

"Thank you, young master, thank you, girl."

"Okay, let's eat it quickly, if you don't eat any more vegetables, it will be cold."

After Su Yu finished speaking, she went to clip the river shrimp in front of her with chopsticks, and the family knew that she loved to eat, so the river shrimp were placed in front of her, and the shrimp shell was not wasted, and it went directly into the mouth of the second tiger.

Although a few people were bought by the Su family, but in the Su family, Su Yu gave them the start money, Su Yu felt that she was not Zhou Papi, how could she buy people, and let the family give her a lifetime of white work, five hundred per person per month, Wang Gang and Bai Mo because of the martial arts, the two of them are one or two per month, and there are red envelopes for the New Year's holidays, several subordinates of the Su family are better than the villagers in the village.

The Lian clan was not very happy because Su Yu's salary for her subordinates was too high, but after Su Yu explained it to her clearly, the Lian clan also saw it. felt that what her daughter said was right, if she was a subordinate and the main family was stingy with her, would she seriously help the main family do things, Lian thought it was impossible. People's hearts are long, only if you are good to others, others will treat you sincerely, that's what my daughter told her at that time.

"Dad, I want to try it in June."

"Cheng, you go."

Su Lao Er agreed without thinking about it, he felt that his son was not the material for reading at all, if he didn't pass the exam in June, he wouldn't have to read this book, and he had already recognized all the words that he should have recognized after reading for two years.

The main reason is that Su Sheng is eighteen years old this year, and the village is as big as him, either he has already married or has already been married, but Su Sheng has not even decided on the family affairs until now, and no one has come to the door to say in the past two years, one is that the child and his mother can't look down on it, and the other is that his son has always refused on the grounds that he wants to study.

Su Sheng also knew what his father meant, if he didn't pass the exam this time, he would have to wait at least three years next time, and he would be twenty-one years old by then, and his father would not give him another three years.

Su Sheng Tongsheng tried to take the twenty-one exam, if you want to take the test Xiucai, it may be a little hanging, but this is not a thing, Su Yu heard the shopkeeper of the study say that he has a sample question for selling Xiucai in the township test within ten years, and when she goes to buy it and let the eldest brother take a good look, maybe it will help him, but don't tell the eldest brother about this matter first.

After the family had eaten and drunk, they went back to their rooms and went to sleep, and they had to get up early to work tomorrow.

After the wheat in the family was harvested, Su Sheng returned to the clan to continue studying, but he worked harder than before, no way, this was his last chance.

Su Yu has always remembered the matter of his eldest brother's examination of Xiucai, and when the family was busy, he took Bai Mo to the Sifang study, and the shopkeeper of the study saw that Su Yu was coming, and immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Miss Su hasn't been here for a few days?"

"I'm busy at home, shopkeeper, I heard that you have here to sell the test questions for the Xiucai exam in previous years, do you still have any of them?"

"I still have it here, someone from Miss Su's family is going to take the Xiucai exam?"

"My eldest brother was admitted to the stroller not long ago, and he is going to take the Xiucai exam in June."

"Then congratulations to Miss Su, I usually sell eighty-eight taels of test questions in the previous ten years, if Miss Su wants it, just give me sixty-six taels."

Su Yu has always known that studying in ancient times burned money, and the imperial examination burned money, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive, the eldest brother studied for two years, and in addition to the cost of practicing calligraphy and buying books, she spent three or four hundred taels in two years, but she also knew that the shopkeeper in front of her was telling the truth, and he did give her a lot of discounts.

"Okay, get me one."
