Farmer Fubo is open for business

Chang'an didn't talk nonsense to him and asked directly: "Did she tell you that your parents are here?"

Li Niu's eyes widened with disbelief on his face: "How do you know?"

"Hmph! You can tell by your looks." If it weren't for the fact that the brother and sister had not done anything bad this year, she would definitely not treat him lightly.

Li Niu lowered his head in shame, not daring to look directly at Chang'an.

"Go back quickly, pack your things and go with your parents." Chang'an had reason to suspect that their names were also fake, so it didn't matter whether they went to the county government office or not to go through the travel procedures.

Li Niu responded, took a leave of absence from the shopkeeper, and trotted back to Haitang Garden.

Chang'an was a little uninterested.

She just came to confirm her guess, but she didn't expect it to be true. Myolie Li and Li Niu were indeed small tricks sent by others.

Although the two of them didn't do anything extraordinary, there was no guarantee that they wouldn't tell their real master every move they made. Alas, it made them sick just thinking about it.

From now on, you must keep your eyes open and don't take in beggars who don't know their roots casually.

When Chang An returned home, the couple had left, but Myolie Li and Li Niu still stayed.

Then Chang An saw Myolie Li crying by the dog shed in the backyard.

Li Niu sat next to her, holding on to the withered grass, staring blankly at the pool in trance.

Mrs. Jiang took her daughter and said, "These two children are also pitiful. They turned out to be the children of Mrs. Lin who sent a letter to our family. They originally came to the capital to join their grandparents, but they were no longer here, so they became beggars." "

"In that case, why didn't Sister-in-law Lin take them away?" Chang'an didn't believe a word of this.

Mrs. Jiang: "Sister-in-law Lin said that since they sold themselves into slavery, we can simply let them stay in our home. When we go to Yandi in the future, we can take them back with us."

Chang An snorted and asked, "Didn't Aniang ask who their master is?"

Mrs. Jiang was puzzled: "How can they have any masters? Sister-in-law Lin said that her husband and wife have urgent matters when they return to Beijing. Since we will also go to Yandi in the future, we can just ask brother and sister Li Niu to follow us."

"Mom, you don't even believe such words, do you?" Chang'an looked at her seriously.

Mrs. Jiang: "Why don't you believe them when they bring your father's letters and belongings? We are not very noble people, and we have nothing to covet."

Chang'an:.

Okay, I'm just being sentimental.

After that, Myolie Li was silent a lot, but Li Niu was still the same, happily riding his bicycle to the shop to do work every day.

Soon, the first exam was over, and Changan followed his uncle to pick up his younger uncle.

I saw the candidates coming out of Gongyuan, all of them looked tired and disheveled.

The same goes for the younger uncle, his hair is as messy as a chicken coop, his eyes are sunken and the circles under his eyes are black and blue.

Upon seeing this, Chang'an quickly treated him with Xiaozhuzhu, and Wu Zhonglou looked better.

Song Sanshun put away his brother-in-law's test basket, covered him with a quilt, and got on a tricycle to take him home.

Chang'an sat next to his uncle and looked at the knot on his wrist. He saw that the leaves on it had been used up and he couldn't help but disagree.

I don’t know what my uncle went through, but he actually used up all the beads.

When she got home, Mrs. Wu had prepared hot water and lit the kang in the house. She just waited for her brother to come back and wash up and rest.

Of course, the meal is also prepared, which is a bowl of hot egg noodles and some light side dishes.

After Wu Zhonglou washed up, he ate the noodles and fell asleep because he had to take the second exam early the next morning.

In this way, the exam ended on February 17th. When the candidates came out, they all seemed to have experienced life and death.

The next step is to wait for the results to be released.

Families in the capital with unmarried daughters also began to pay close attention to the children living in annexes.

The same is true even for Wang Shilang's family. There are two or three unmarried girls in his family. Among them, Wang Pingting's marriage is the most difficult.

The reason was that both of Wang Pingting's parents were dead and she had no brothers to support her family. People from wealthy families disliked her for being a lonely widower who was unwilling to get married to her.

As for the children from small families, it was rare for them to stand out. Not only did Wang Shilang and his wife look down on them, but even Wang Pingting disdained them.

So Mrs. Wang Shilang asked her husband to pay attention to the candidates who came to Beijing to take the exam.

"Pingting is already sixteen this year. If we don't discuss marriage, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a good family in the future. As a grandfather, please give me some snacks. If you meet a child with outstanding appearance, please come back and talk to me."

Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Ruan, personally poured her husband a cup of tea and handed it to him.

Wang Ting took the tea bowl and said, "We'll wait until the results are released. It's too early now."

"Why is it too early? Go and check the students you are referring to. If they are unmarried, their appearance is acceptable. If you copy out their names and places of origin in advance, you won't be blinded by the time."

Ruan said angrily: "Pingting, that child is counting on you as her grandfather, and she cannot be delayed to make others laugh."

Wang Ting frowned and sighed: "This is easy to handle. There are people outside who specialize in selling Juzi Nian Geng. Just ask someone to buy one and bring it back."

Ruan was dissatisfied and said: "How do those outside know the truth? What will it cost you to ask someone to go to the ceremony room to copy a list?"

Wang Ting was so troubled by his wife that he had no choice but to say: "Okay, I'll ask someone to take a look later."

Within two days, Wang Ting brought back a directory, which recorded the resumes of all the unmarried students referred to this time. They were all aged between fifteen and twenty-five years old.

"I have seen that there are several young men who are about the same age as Pingting. One of them is particularly good. After all, his aunt is actually a sister to Pingting's aunt."

Wang Ting stroked his beard and said, "Besides, the Lu family and our family are well matched. It would be great if Pingting can marry her."

"Really? Which Lu family is it?" Ruan was delighted and quickly opened it to check.

There were several names in the directory that her husband had marked with pen and ink, which were easy to find. Ruan quickly saw Lu Jingzhou's name.

"They are indeed of the same age. Pingting is sixteen, he is fifteen, and he is a Jieyuan. His father is also an official in the capital, and his uncle is still the Minister of Rites. Not bad! There is no more suitable child than this."

Ruan smiled happily and sighed: "It's a pity that he is a concubine, otherwise he would really be a son-in-law riding a dragon."

Wang Ting said angrily: "So what if he is a concubine? If that child can pass the Jie Yuan exam, he will be among the best among men, and he is only fifteen years old."

There are many examples of fifteen-year-olds, but fifteen-year-old Jieyuan is rare.

Wang Ting suddenly became curious about this young man, "Later, you ask Erlang to book Liuyuan Garden, and invite a few aristocratic family members and the young people on the list to the banquet, and then ask Pingting to invite a few little sisters to go there, too. The peach blossoms and pear blossoms are in bloom, so we can enjoy the scenery together."

"Okay, I'll tell Erlang later." Ruan smiled and read the directory again before getting up and looking for her second son.

March is a beautiful month, with peaches and plums in full bloom. The few fruit trees planted in the backyard of Chang'an are all in bloom, and the pink and white peach trees are beautiful.

The vegetables in the vegetable garden are also lush and green. The carrots have grown to the size of eggs, which is the sweetest and most delicious time.

Chang'an and her little sister pulled some from the vegetable garden, washed them in the pool, twisted off the radish tassels, and threw them to the chickens in the chicken coop. She carried a small basket of radishes and sweetened them for Auntie Auntie.

Mrs. Jiang handed over a pink post: "Chang'an, someone just sent a post asking you to go to the Liuyuan Garden to enjoy the flowers."
