The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

"Don't talk nonsense!" Mo Yan patted her friend lightly, looked at her frightened sister, and said angrily: "Xin'er is still here, and you scared her by talking such nonsense!"

Xin'er was really frightened. The twelve-year-old girl gradually had a vague understanding of love. In the past, I saw that my sister and her new brother-in-law were getting along very well and seemed to want to get married as soon as possible, so I thought that getting married would be a wonderful thing. At this time, when I heard Sister Liu's embarrassing remarks that shocked the world, I felt that they were very reasonable. I couldn't normally judge whether marriage was good or bad, and I was at a loss.

Seeing this, Mo Yan quickly took her sister's hand and sat down to comfort her: "Don't listen to your sister Liu's nonsense. You are still young. Just listen to these things. When you grow up, you will have your own ideas and judgments." , only then can you truly understand, don’t get too carried away right now, you know?”

Xin'er came back to her senses and nodded heavily: "Yeah, these things are not what I should hear, and I won't think about them. I just hope that sister and sister Liu can be happy, otherwise I will have to think wildly. !”

At the end of the sentence, Xin'er couldn't help laughing.

"Well, that's right! Don't let the two of you spill what the three of us said today outside, otherwise the adults will hear it and all three of us will suffer!" Mo Yan warned Xin'er and Liu Tinglan.

It's okay to keep these words in private. If adults find out, a lecture will be necessary. Especially if Sister Lan's remarks reach Uncle Liu's ears, Aunt Liu may have to be grounded for three months to reflect at home.

Liu Tinglan understood the importance and did not need Mo Yan to remind her; Xin'er didn't quite understand, but she nodded her head and agreed.

…

The lively haircut ceremony and engagement ceremony passed just like that, and the Mo family returned to their usual busy and fulfilling life. But this busyness and fulfillment was broken again within a few days, just because the three-year spring festival, that is, the exams arrived!

The examination was held in Gongyuan. There were new candidates who had just passed the examination last year, as well as old candidates who had failed the examination many times. In short, all candidates from the entire Dachu who had participated in the examination were gathered. The total number of these old and new candidates is 10,000. This is not to say that there are only these ten thousand people in Dachu, but there are still a large number of people who did not participate in this examination due to lack of preparation or lack of confidence in high school. There are also people like Mr. Liu who are not interested in officialdom and do not want to continue their studies. If they don't take the exam, they will directly give up taking part in the exam.

In any case, ten thousand people compete in the same field, and only the first hundred are chosen as tributes. The ratio of one in a hundred shows how competitive the competition is.

In the past few days, the Mo family has been in a state of anxiety and excitement. Originally, when Mo Qingze attended the Spring Festival, the Mo family members were not very nervous. When they opened the door early in the morning every day, they would see a few eggs at the entrance of the courtyard, or even a chicken appearing at the entrance of the courtyard.

Knowing that these were the wishes of the villagers, the Mo family accepted it, but it indirectly triggered the tension and anxiety of everyone in the Mo family.

"Dad, these are Xingnao pills. You can put one on the table during the exam and it will last for a day. This is a quick-acting Shufeng pill. The temperature is low at night and it is easy to catch wind and cold. Dad must be on guard. If he notices something is wrong, he must Remember to eat; there is also this qi-tonifying pill, which is made from old-age ginseng. If dad’s physical fitness cannot keep up, just take one pill and he will be full of energy immediately... There are also these cooked foods, don’t bother dad, be sure to remember Warm it up before eating it, but don't eat it cold, otherwise it will be bad if your stomach gets cold..."

In the study, Mo Yan put the prepared medicines and food into the wooden box one by one, while introducing the route in detail, lest his father would not pay attention and forget these things that could come in handy.

Looking at the stuffed wooden box, Mo Qingze seemed helpless, but his eyes were full of smiles. Every time Mo Yan said something, he nodded patiently in response, indicating that he had remembered it clearly.

After all the items were counted and nothing was missing, Mo Yan took a breath and continued to prepare the other two. One is for Han Zhiyun, and the other is for Shen Ji.

Let alone Han Zhiyun, the relationship between the two families is as good as one; Shen Ji is a little worse, but he is also a worthy friend of the Mo family. What's more, after Mo Yan decided to break up the marriage between the Liu and Du families, he arranged He and Liu Tinglan were naturally concerned.

After the three wooden boxes of the same size but different colors were all prepared, Mo Yan drank a cup of hot tea and sat down to rest.

Tomorrow is the first day of spring on the eighth day of March. Later, Mo Yan will send Mo Qingze to the city to familiarize himself with the examination room in advance. That night, Mo Qingze will not be able to go home and will temporarily live in the Han family's previous small building. In the house, Shen Ji will also be there...
