Chapter 39 Unveiling the List

Li Zheng and his sons discussed it all morning, and everyone was a little hesitant.

Li Zheng's eldest son is in favor of growing food in the family's fertile land and then opening up wasteland to grow herbs. The herbs can be planted in leisure time. The profits will be seen after two years. If the profits are good, more efforts will be made to plant them.

Madam Li Zheng disagreed. Growing herbs was not as easy to take care of as growing fruit trees. She and Madam Rong needed to learn the art of cultivating herbs. It took too much time. There was more time to grow food.

Li Zheng's eldest son felt that it was more important to grow herbs. Regardless of the harvest, learning the art of cultivating herbs was something he would never dare to think about in his lifetime.

Mother Li Zheng was so angry that she almost slapped her chest.

In the end, Li Zheng came forward to speak. The family's Dahu and Mrs. Rong were learning medicinal techniques. The others helped to open up wasteland in their spare time, but they could not waste their own fertile land. They killed two birds with one stone and had a clear division of labor.

Dahu is already married, and his wife, like his aunt, disagrees with her husband spending time on such frivolous things as growing herbs.

The two quarreled for a while, and Mrs. Dahu came out of the back room. She was about to go to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables. When she turned back to persuade Dahu, she saw the young man of the Rong family coming on horseback.

The Big Tiger Lady was in disbelief and saw another Mr. Rong Xiaolang leading a cow in the direction of the village entrance.

Oh my god! The Rong family actually bought a cow and a horse!

Lady Dahu heard from Li Zheng that Lady Rong bought a mountain, but she had not seen the money with her own eyes, so she didn't feel much about it.

Today, she saw running horses and cattle carrying things with her own eyes, and she looked a little confused.

Cows are a big thing in the village. Only the Li Zheng family has one in Zhangmu Village, let alone horses. No one from all over the country raises this precious thing. It can’t be eaten, and it can’t go to the ground like cows. But its

The price is high, I heard it is several times more than that of a cow, and it is a precious foal for wealthy families.

The Big Tiger Lady was shocked for a while and quickly went home to tell others.

No one disagreed with the matter of Dahu and Mrs. Rong learning medicine. The aunt even prepared a generous gift for Dahu and his wife to bring to the door to express their gratitude. It was treated as a ceremony to become a master.

Rural people are vulgar, but they have a reputation in their hearts. If Nalanjing really makes money for the family, he will be a great benefactor.

Little did Nalanjing know that a cow and a horse convinced the Li Zheng family of her "strength".

I just bought a duck from the town, and I am going to make a stewed fat duck. I also bought a large piece of tenderloin to make charcoal-grilled tenderloin. I will pick some vegetables from the vegetable field and stir-fry. It will be a meal for lunch and a few more for the evening.

Pork ribs and braised pork head.

As soon as she stewed the fat duck, Xiao Wu came to the kitchen and called her, saying that Gou Di's father had brought something to the house.

Goudi is Dahu's son, and they are both nicknames. Everyone calls him that, and Xiao Wu calls him the same.

The house that Miss Rong lived in was unlucky. In the past, people in the village would walk around it when passing by it on the mountain, but they didn't expect it to be so popular now. Dahu and his wife came to the house, and they were no longer afraid.

While Miss Rong was in the kitchen, Xiao Wu went to call someone, and Dahu and his wife carried their things and walked into the main room.

In the main room, there is a man lying half on a chair. His long black hair is half tied with a blue hairband, and his long hair hangs down around his waist. He is dressed in light-colored Gebu coarse clothes, and he still can't hide his strong aura.

Dahu and his wife didn't even dare to look at his face carefully, put the things on the table, turned around and left in a hurry.

Nalanjing just came out of the kitchen, and looked in surprise: "Why are you out? The sun is strong outside, come inside and sit down."

The couple shook their heads again and again in a tacit understanding. Even though they were blushing, they didn't dare to say that her husband was too... creepy. They didn't have the guts to sit in the room.

Dahu told Nalanjing about learning to grow herbal medicine, and Nalanjing agreed and asked him to come to the wasteland to find her tomorrow morning.

The couple said goodbye, and Nalanjing asked Xiao Wu to take out the things and send them back to Li Zheng's family.

In the afternoon, the aunt came to the door. She didn't mention those things anymore, but she brought half a basket of sweet potatoes and delivered them.

Nalanjing did not refuse this time and asked Rong Qian to take his own basket and put it in. The two exchanged a few words before the aunt left with the basket.

The story of Li Zheng's eldest son learning to grow herbal medicine from Nalan Jing soon spread in the village. Although everyone did not think that Dahu could make as much money as Miss Rong, this did not hinder their admiration for Miss Rong.

I lived in Zhangmu Village as a refugee, and within a month I bought a mountain, a cow, a horse, and planted a patch of medicinal herbs. Who in the village has this ability?

Not to mention women, men don't have one-tenth of her abilities.

In the blink of an eye, the day has come when the college announces its admission ranking list.

Brothers Liu Yan and Rong Yurongqian went to Qingshan Academy together to wait for the announcement of the results.

Liu Yan had no reference. He remembered Landlord Liu and wanted to go home and see him.

They separated at the entrance of Qingshan Academy and made an appointment to meet here in the afternoon.

Before the application time, the college released the results on time.

The college has admitted a lot of people this time, one hundred as usual.

Rong Qian searched from the last place upwards, and soon found his name at the 90th place.

The tenth from the bottom was admitted, thrilling!

Rong Qianchang breathed a sigh of relief and continued to look up. When he saw the thirtieth name, he hadn't seen Rong Yu's name yet. He couldn't help but darken his face and frown.

Even he can pass the exam, there is no reason why Rong Yu can't pass the exam.

Rong Qian quickly read through the list, but still didn't find Rong Yu's name, and felt a little chilled.

Rong Yu was also devastated.

Rong Qian opened his mouth, wanting to comfort his second brother that he might take the exam again next year, but he couldn't say anything.

No one knows better than him how hard his second brother studies. Even he passed the exam, but his second brother failed. This was undoubtedly a fatal blow.

Qingshan Academy's test is the eight-legged essay, one of the three major components of the imperial examination. If you can't pass it, let alone pass the provincial examination.

"Hey, why is the first place blocked by red silk? Quickly open it and take a look." Suddenly a surprised voice sounded in my ears.

Rong Qian was stunned for a moment with an annoyed expression. He raised his head and looked at the list again. It was indeed stuck on the second place, and the first place's name was covered by the hanging red silk.

For a moment, Rong Yu and Rong Qian's chests were beating loudly.

Logically speaking, none of them thought that Rong Yu could get the top spot in the examination. Rong Yu was only twelve years old. No matter how hard he studied, he could not surpass those candidates who were four, five, or even five or six years older than him.

What's more, Rong Yu considers herself far inferior to her brother in terms of reading talent and hard work.

But they overlooked one very important factor. Rong Xuan was in Shangjing at the time, which was the temple where countless talented students from Southern Chu State gathered. Rong Xuan was able to stand out in this situation and aspire to be the young leader. He was indeed far beyond ordinary people.

Talent.

Qingshan Academy is indeed a famous academy nearby, gathering literati and students from all over the country, but how can it compare with Shangjing Academy?
