Xie Qiaoyu washed the mud around him, put the spices he bought from the county seat into the wooden barrel, and finally felt that he had become fragrant. This box of spices, Xie Qiaoyu's baby is very good, and a box costs one or two silver.

He has a monthly money of five taels of silver at home, which is converted to five thousand Wen, which may still be a year's savings for ordinary people, and it is Xie Qiaoyu's monthly money in the Xie family.

He still has to buy some clothes for these five taels of silver, and he can't buy cheap clothes when he walks outside, and often costs two taels of silver.

But buying clothes is not to be bought every month, since he was a child, he saved a lot of money, gave Wei Bowen some silver, greedy will go to the restaurant to buy food, in addition to buying some decent hairpins, he has no expenses.

When Xie Yuan came, he gave him thirty taels of silver, Xie Qiaoyu was still very happy, and there was no use in Zhuangzi, he was unwilling and satisfied, he wanted to spend a sum of money but was forced to save money.

In the evening, I had dinner with Mrs. Xie, and after eating, Mrs. Xie said, "You go with me to worship the Buddha." ”

The day's schedule is clear.

Xie Qiaoyu was very dignified in front of the Buddha Hall, and Mrs. Xie was very satisfied with him. She was surprised in her heart, it should be that she didn't plan to get to know Xie Qiaoyu in the first place, and she has always treated him as a concubine, but now she knows that she is a good boy after a long time.

If you want to say that the most promising child of the Xie family must be Xie Zhi, Xie Yuan is still a step away, he has been an official of the county Chengzheng Bapin, and he has been in this position for five years, and he has not grown at all.

Grandfather Xie used to be a county magistrate, but he had a good reputation, and if he hadn't died early, he would have been able to move this position to the top.

After half an hour of trembling Buddha, Mrs. Xie's words came from the front: "Okay, get up." ”

"Yes, grandmother."

Old Madam Xie looked at the weather: "This day is not long before Xie Zhi is going to the township to try." ”

"Township test in August."

"When people are old, don't toss, your father and mother will do it for your eldest brother." Old Madam Xie sighed: "It's getting late, you go back and rest." ”

Xie Qiaoyu returned to his yard and rolled on the bed.

His eldest brother worked so hard, he would definitely be able to get in.

Xie Fu

"Mother, don't clean it up, it's all in Gujun, I'll buy it, you can rest." Xie Zhi was relieved and came to persuade Mrs. Xie.

"The things outside are as fine as the things at home, the weather is about to get cold, I heard that the exam is still closed for a few days, if you are sick, what else to test." Mrs. Xie chattered and said, "Don't take these things to heart, you go to rest by yourself, and my mother will sort it out for you." ”

"Mother, I heard that you are showing each other a little time?"

"Why are you worrying about this, you are just taking a good township test now, I just have a look at it first, in case you are admitted to the lifter, this person will be different." Mrs. Xie pushed Xie Zhi out: "Go rest by yourself and think less about these miscellaneous things." ”

Xie Zhi looked at Mrs. Xie's stern eyebrows, and thought to himself, how can this be considered a miscellaneous matter?

He walked out, followed by his personal servant, he walked into his yard and gave the newly bought rouge to the servant: "After I leave, you send it to Weixuan, and there is a box to secretly give to Qiao Yu." ”

Xie Weixuan is the strongest, if he knew that he bought this for Xie Qiaoyu, he would start making trouble again.

"Yes, young master." The little guy is used to Xie Zhi's orders.

Xie Zhi consciously satisfied and went back to the house to sleep, the township test is very important, he is only taking the exam for the first time, and he always wants to get some results, and it is the best to be given the Jinshi background by the emperor.

Early the next morning, the scholars in Ningjiang County began to leave intermittently, and some scholars who did not get into Xiucai were very envious that they could go to the township examination.

Xie Jiuling, Xie Zhi and Wei Bowen were naturally together, and there were several people with heads and faces talking and laughing with Xie Jiuling, they were all from outside, studying in Dongtian Academy, and their families were very prominent.

Even Xie Zhi rarely cares, the son-in-law of a county Cheng family is not worthy of lifting shoes in their eyes, but there is less contempt on the surface of Xie Jiuling's face.

Xie Zhi didn't like it or complain, and he was also reviewing his homework on the boat, but Wei Bowen was very indignant in his heart.

He's sure to show everyone how good he is!

The sun was just right, Wan Mingji stretched out his head and looked at the fertilizer pond on the side of the yard, the smell was a lot, and it didn't smell as before. In the farmhouse, he allocated farmhouse fertilizer according to the proportion, and the whole yard stinked, and now it seems to have some effect, Wan Mingji used a bamboo pole to turn over the fertilizer.

It's all to blame for this sudden rainstorm, otherwise the farmer's fertilizer would have been completed long ago.

"It's time to eat!" Wan Xiuyue shouted.

Wan Mingji took a white flour steamed bun and a multigrain steamed bun, he couldn't eat enough after eating one, drank a bowl of porridge, and ate three steamed buns and his stomach was seven or eight points full.

The family's silver, Wan Mingji calculated in his heart, there are about fifty taels of silver, but Li Yun saved for him tuition, it takes three years to study in Dongtian Academy, twelve taels of silver a year is not included, and thirty-six taels of silver will be required for three years. Therefore, there are still fourteen taels of silver that can be turned around at home.

He earned some silver from hunting, and Li Yun asked him to keep some for himself, and his own private money had ten taels of silver. Wan Mingji himself simply converted, and he was still a little happy if he had 10,000 yuan.

Make a lot of money.

"I'm going to look at the fields today."

"I'll go with my eldest brother." Wan Xiuyue said.

"Then I'll wash the dishes at home, and then go up the hill to cut the chicken grass." Wan Xiubai will also do some manual work, after all, he is not a rich young master, and he can't eat and drink for nothing at home.

Li Yun nodded: "I'll go up the mountain with Xiubai and pick some wild peppercorns and soaphorns." ”

The four members of the family have their own things to do, if it weren't for the fact that there was only one man in the family who could use it, Li Yun would not be able to let Wan Mingji go to farming, and Wan Mingji would have to study in the future.

Wan Mingji went to see his own field, the land he left for himself was all good land, and he sprinkled the seeds earlier, Wan Mingji and Wan Xiuyue came to get rid of weeds, and they could have a bumper harvest in about a month, and his fertilizer was too late, and it could only be used for a month.

"Wan Xiaozi and Xiuyue are also here to farm."

"Yes, Uncle Zhang." Wan Mingji responded heartily.

At the beginning, when they landed in Linshui Village, the villagers of Linshui Village were very repulsive to them, and Wan Mingji played a few games with their children, and the relationship eased.

In addition, Wan Mingji was born without a fight, and he could chat with anyone, and he quickly got along with the people in the village.

Wan Xiuyue hung his head to weed, Wan Mingji finished weeding, and measured the distance between the fields with a hoe, which was very mysterious.

"Big brother, what are you doing?"

Wan Mingji: "Adults, children, don't care." ”

Wan Xiuyue: "......"

The land in the village is almost planted, and the farmers will go to the town to find some short-term jobs in the slack time, and some will go to the mountains to collect some firewood to sell. This mountain cannot be messed up, only the public mountain in the village, not the private mountain, which is owned by an individual, and if it is found, it will be dealt with as a crime of theft.

Wan Xiubai and Li Yun are on Gongshan, and the wild peppercorns on the mountain are very fragrant, and they have a different taste from ordinary peppercorns. When Wan Xiubai and Wan Mingji went up the mountain together at that time, Wan Mingji was desperate to pull out the wild pepper tree.

"Forget it, I'd better be a person."

Now that he thinks about it, Wan Xiubai is still startled, and feels that Wan Mingji can really do this.

Li Yun picked peppercorns with his hands and feet, and Wan Xiubai went to the depths to pick soaphorns, which can be used to wash clothes and wash hair and clean themselves, although they are a little rough, but they don't need money.

The free stuff is fragrant. This is also what Wan Mingji said, Wan Xiubai silently remembered it in his heart, and stretched out his hand to pick up the soap.

"Ahh Wan Xiubai stepped on something, he exclaimed, and there was a small back basket hidden among the grass, which child's back basket was this, Wan Xiubai patted the ash on the small back basket.

He felt a little apologetic in his heart, couldn't see anyone left and right, and continued to pick soap horns.

Xie Qiaoyu carried a hoe to dig the ground, he dug for a while to rest, and finally found a tree, so he threw the back basket there, and when he was tired of digging the ground, he would sit under the tree.

This time after digging for a while, Xie Qiaoyu hurriedly carried the hoe to rest, he went to his old place, and found that there was a brother picking something that looked like peas on the tree on the side.

Xie Qiaoyu glanced at the back basket and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry I accidentally stepped on your back basket just now." Wan Xiubai also noticed Xie Qiaoyu, and he said apologetically.

The two of them hadn't seen each other before, Wan Xiubai often stayed at home, Xie Qiaoyu only knew that Wan Mingji had two younger brothers, one was called Wan Xiuyue, and the other was Wan Xiubai but he didn't have a face.

Xie Qiaoyu saw that Wan Xiubai looked very good, and he waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, I put the back basket here." ”

Wan Xiubai saw Xie Qiaoyu's flowery face, and saw that he was so reasonable, he had a good impression of him, and smiled shyly.

"I'm here to pick soaphorns." He saw Xie Qiaoyu staring curiously at the soap corner in his hand, a little shy.

Xie Qiaoyu: "What is soaphorn?" ”

Wan Xiubai felt a little strange in his heart, he explained: "Soaphorn can be used to wash hair, clothes, and body, and we all use this. ”

Xie Qiaoyu nodded: "So that's the case." He stepped forward, and Wan Xiubai showed him the soap horn in his hand.

Xie Qiaoyu bent down and sniffed it on his hand, it was indeed fragrant, so amazing.

"My name is Xie Qiaoyu, and I've been digging on that piece of land recently."

"Hello, my name is Wan Xiubai." Wan Xiubai is very happy to meet a little friend, except for Wan Mingji and Wan Xiuyue, this is the first time he has made friends, this person is also very good-looking, and he looks very polite.

Xie Qiaoyu: "!! ”

It can't be such a coincidence.

Xie Qiaoyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and his gaze burned.

Wan Xiubai was a little uncomfortable and a little scared.

"It's good to know you." Xie Qiaoyu said sincerely.

Wan Xiubai pursed his lips and smiled.

Oh my God, Wan Mingji's younger brother is also good-looking, and he is still a shy beauty hehe.

"This kettle on you looks good." Xie Qiaoyu brought his own water bladder, but he was very envious when he saw the kettle that he could carry on his back.

"It's juice, do you want to drink it?" Wan Xiubai said.

Xie Qiaoyu took a sip, it was very sweet, the whole person was relieved, and his eyes were shining.
