Chapter 177: Preparation

This time it is still the dart of the Shunyi Dart Bureau, and when Qian Gui leaves for Fucheng, this day is the sixth day of February, and it is only ten days away from February 16.

When the guests left, Zhou Banxia also had time to spare his hands to catch up with the work for two days in a row, and handed over the lye and prepared spices to Zhou Daya.

Then you will have what you should be ready for the test.

Such as single clothes.

Candidates are not allowed to wear clothes with sandwich in the scientific examination, so cotton clothes cannot be worn, only single clothes, otherwise they will be punished as cheating.

But now that it's February, the weather in the north is still quite cold, so you can only prepare a few more single clothes, and then wear a few more single clothes to be safe.

In addition, there are also examination baskets, four treasures of the study room and other things, as well as Gu Wenxuan and Dajiang's daily clothes, some books and other sorted out boxes and cages will also be pulled to the county seat.

On the ninth day of the second month, the sky just dawned.

Zhou Banxia and the Liu family got into the carriage first, and took the newly bought cook and mother-in-law to the small courtyard rented by the county seat, so that the things they brought could be put in place for Gu Wenxuan and the others to move in.

It is said that it is a small courtyard, which is a large yard with about two acres of land in the backyard alone of the Gu family, but in fact, this rented small courtyard has a front and back yard, which is not small.

Push the door in.

The courtyard is wide and sparse, the houses on all sides are independent, and there are verandahs to connect each other, the layout is light and concise, the furniture is complete, and the style is simple and elegant.

It's a pity that the owner of the house is not short of silver, and only rents it to scholars, and the gentleman does not take the love of others, otherwise he doesn't want such a school district house.

Regardless of Gu Wenxuan or Dajiang, once they become students, if they want to choose an admission point between the county school and the government school in the future, they will inevitably choose the nearest county school.

Fortunately, it has been rented now, and even if it is difficult to find a seller for this street house, sooner or later someone will still change hands, and it is not too late to buy it again.

At the same time, not only was the furniture in this courtyard complete, but Gu Erzhu also sent people to clean it every once in a while, and even the rice, flour, oil, salt, and charcoal were prepared.

But men, in the end, there is some carelessness.

Liu went in and took a turn, and immediately asked people to burn the kang first, and it was not just the main house, but the front yard and the back yard, as long as there was a kang in the room, the kang would be burned.

In rooms without kang, such as the main hall and small hall, people are also asked to prepare braziers, red clay stoves, and then wipe down tables and chairs and other furniture.

Zhou Banxia was not idle, sorted out the items he brought, and went out to prepare all the things that were missing one by one for the store to deliver.

If it were in the past, Liu would have said that there was no one at home, and he would go back and tell your father that he would bring it tomorrow, but now he doesn't care.

As far as the old daughter-in-law earned, it was not shipped at the end of the month, and this time the bird quietly received nearly 10,000 taels of silver, which is not too much to describe as a daily income.

As long as you can hide it, don't let people know, don't be targeted, the old daughter-in-law won't be hurt, you can buy it if you like, and you can spend as much as you want.

Seeing that Zhou Banxia also knew that he took the cook out to let the store send a guy to deliver things, and did not let the cook come back with the car first, and came back honestly and safely, Liu was more at ease.

Over there in Qinghe Village.

Seeing that he was about to set off, Gu Wenxuan hesitated for a moment, Da Liang ruled the country with filial piety, and the hierarchy was strict, and finally decided to go to the old courtyard before getting into the carriage.

The human heart is unpredictable.

In this era of great importance to reputation, since it is necessary to conduct scientific research, it is natural to avoid leaving any stain on the reputation, so as not to be caught.

What's more, it's just a trip, he is going to do serious things, why do he need to be sneaky, he can't avoid it, and he is despised by others.

When he arrived at the old courtyard, Gu Wenxuan deliberately avoided the important and told Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu that he was about to take the county exam, so he couldn't come to ask for peace on the fifteenth.

Old Man Gu had already learned from Patriarch Gu and Second Master Gu that he was participating in the county exam, but he didn't mention it to Mrs. Gu, because Mrs. Gu was stunned for a while.

By the time she reacted, Gu Wenxuan had already said goodbye and left the carriage waiting at the entrance of the village, and went to the county seat with Dajiang, Brother Li, and Gu Erzhu.

On Thursday, he will wait until tomorrow to accompany Zhou Xiucai and other students who participated in the county exam to the county seat.

In the next few days, Zhou Xiucai will stay in a small courtyard, in order to catch his brother-in-law Bai Juren in the county seat, and if there are no special circumstances, he will wait until the end of the county test to return to the village.

Mrs. Gu ran away here, only to hear her granddaughter-in-law Ma Shan say that her mother-in-law had arranged all the work in the house, including the distribution of the family.

If you live in the future, when your parents-in-law will come back, Ma Shan doesn't know, she may come back the day after tomorrow, or she may wait for the end of the county test to go home.

When asked where to live, Ma Shan didn't hide it from the old lady.

After all, you can't hide it if you want to, but it also mentioned that since Gu Dalang has already booked an inn, let Mrs. Gu not know.

In short, scientific research is greater than everything.

She didn't understand the things of the readers, but she knew that Sanya was also arranged by her grandfather, and her grandfather said that he was going to close the door and thank the guests, so don't embarrass Sanya.

How could Mrs. Gu not understand the meaning of her daughter-in-law's words.

Even if she still doesn't know whether Liulang was calculated by the old man and their grandparents and grandchildren to drop out of school, she understands.

The second son's family, from the oldest to the youngest, no one wants to have too much contact with the eldest and younger couples. Alas, I'd rather invite outsiders to stay than be happy to see Dalang.

Gu Wenxuan didn't know that Mrs. Gu still had this idea, otherwise she would have given her a good science about what it meant to be a classmate, and two of them were classmates from Zhou Gu and the two surnames.

Nowadays, fellow villagers are classmates in the same year, and they have a friendship with water and mulberry, which is unusual.

Besides, Gu Dalang may not be willing to associate with him.

He has been 'listening to things outside the window with his ears and not looking at the world with his eyes.' I still don't believe that the old man will persuade Gu Dalang to go to his house to sit.

It's just that the guy with low self-esteem and conceit is nothing more than a red eye that he used to have a man who could make money, and now he has found a good daughter-in-law, and he is afraid that he will still be pressed by him in his studies after his previous calculations failed, and the one in his heart is anxious and angry, and he pretends to be disdainful on the surface.

It seems that he thinks too much about him Gu Dalang coming to the door, and if he doesn't hit him Gu Dalang until he has to bow his head, he can really think that Gu Wenxuan can easily calculate.

At this time, Gu Wenxuan had not yet arrived in the county seat, and was on the way to Dajiang and Brother Li, you and he chatted about how to arrange the next few days.

Since Zhou Xiucai saw his reading schedule, not only did he throw Dajiang to him, but even his eldest grandson's reading schedule had to be improved.

I don't know what went wrong, and these two children are not generally willing to listen to his nonsense.

He said that first of all, each person should take the initiative to complete double the amount of homework every day, in addition to ensuring sufficient sleep for two and a half hours, and then give him the rest of the time to brush up on the problem.

I really listened.

No matter how tired and boring these days are, one by one, he says and listens to anything, he is diligent and obedient, which is too rare.
