girl, she opened her mouth to see money

Chapter 172 Odd

The matter of Tao Weike's failure in the exam was over in the second room of Tao's house, and everyone's mood quickly calmed down.

What Tao Yongcheng is concerned about now is the exam in Tao Weizi Academy. He heard the news that Tao Zuoran would accompany his son to the provincial capital for the exam. He sighed twice, and then asked Tao Yongneng: "Is there enough travel expenses?"

Tao Yongneng said with a smile: "The business of their shop is good. Over the years, they have saved some money. I heard that they have already prepared travel expenses and accommodation expenses to the provincial capital."

Tao Yongcheng nodded and sighed: "He has five sons and one daughter now, so he can't take care of the eldest son, regardless of the future of the next four sons and one daughter?"

Tao Yongneng glanced at him somewhat unclearly, and when he saw Tao Yongcheng staring at him, he quickly lowered his head and said, "Brother, you don't look like someone who says such things.

My second child and my wife have discussed it long ago, and they will not have any more children.If brother Zi can make the list this time, he doesn't have to worry too much about his life in the future. "

Tao Yongcheng originally didn't want to talk to Tao Yongneng, but after hearing his words for a while, he couldn't help but said: "Even if he was selected, he is also a scholar. If he is a scholar at this age, your family will naturally support him to continue his studies.

I've heard people say that they were able to go to the provincial capital to take the college exam this time because the academic officials in Fenzhou City felt that many of their students in this class could get on the list. "

In fact, Tao Weizi talked a lot with his family. It is very meaningful for them to go to the provincial capital for the exam this time. Most of them hope to go to a higher place.

Most of the people who won the list this time will go to the provincial capital to take the big exam three years later. In that exam, they will face students with more excellent and comprehensive skills.

In the rainy spring weather, Tao Zuoran and his son went to the provincial capital. Tao Qingbi secretly stuffed a bag of silver for Tao Weizi: "Brother, after the exam, you can buy some more useful books in the provincial capital."

Tao Weizi originally wanted to refuse, but after hearing Tao Qingbi's words, he stretched out to take the money, and said with a smile: "Okay, brother, I will follow your arrangement. After the exam, I must visit the bookstore in the provincial capital and try my best." Buy some useful books and come back."

On the way to the provincial capital, Tao Weizi and Tao Zuoran smiled and said, "Father, I will study hard. After I am on the list this time, I will study hard for another three years, and try to take the big exam in the provincial capital in three years."

Tao Zuoran just smiled. The head of Sanjiaxiangzi School and Tao Zuoran mentioned that if Tao Weizi is selected as a scholar at this age, and his family has the ability, it is best to send Tao Weizi to the government school in the provincial capital.

Even if you have to pay more tuition fees, it is more promising than leaving Tao Weizi to study in the official school in Fenzhou City. After all, the provincial capital is large and there are many famous teachers, and students have the opportunity to receive better teaching.

Tao Zuoran was taken aback by this, and he and An Erzhi secretly calculated the money they had saved, and the husband and wife both thought about it, as long as Tao Weizi could enter the government school in the provincial capital, his family would pay for him to study in the provincial capital no matter what.

Tao Zuoran didn't want to put too much pressure on Tao Weizi. Hearing Tao Weizi's words at this moment, he said with a smile, "Zi'er, try your best. No matter what the final result is, at least you can go to the provincial capital for the exam. It will be of great benefit to you." .”

In the shop, after the customers left, Tao Qingbi went to the backyard to talk to Tao Weicong, he stopped what he was doing, looked at Tao Qingbi and said, "Your brother is going to take the exam, why are you so flustered?
If your brother is on the list this time, he will be a scholar.He will definitely want to study in the future. Think about it, do you want to focus on doing business? There will be more business in the store, so your brother can study with peace of mind.All right, don't bother me, let me work hard. "

"Third brother, I didn't come to quarrel with you. I just remembered. When I went out in the morning, my aunt told me that someone would come to see you in the store today, so I didn't want to close the middle door."

"So what? Anyway, as I said, I like to guard the shop with you, and I like to work in the backyard of the shop. Do you remember the person from the previous time?"

Tao Qingbi naturally remembered the guests who came the previous time, but she didn't know it was the people who came to see Tao Weicong at the time. She thought they were the customers who came to buy things, and recommended a pair of wedding buckets to them.

The guests bought a pair of wedding buckets, but the meeting did not work out in the end, because they felt that Tao Weicong was not doing his job properly, and a big man didn't want to go out to work and support his family, but he had to accompany his sister to guard the store, which was too worthless. .

Knowing the truth afterwards, Tao Weicong jumped up angrily and said, "I can only do my handiwork when I go out. With this kind of free time, I might as well hone my skills in the backyard of the shop. Why can't I support my family? They even bought a pair of them. I made barrels."

Hearing what he said, Tao Qingbi couldn't help laughing, and shook his hand: "Third brother, stop talking, it's so fun. You should make more barrels these days. I think guests will like to buy barrels on such days. "

Now Tao Weicong is willing to listen to Tao Qingbi's arrangement, and quickly said: "After I finish this bench, I'll start making buckets, and then I'll make wooden trays. What do you think?"

"Third brother, that's fine, I think it's a good thing. Third brother, you said that my father and brother went to the provincial capital. Will we have a chance to go to the provincial capital to learn more?"

"This time your elder brother's courtyard tried it, I think we all have the hope to go to the provincial capital."

Tao Qingbi clasped his hands together and said to Tao Weicong: "Third brother, shall we ask the gods to bless my brother in everything?"

"Pfft, Niuniu, you're just cramming. Grandma, my mother, and your mother have already gone to the temple to worship, and even got a peace talisman for your father and your brother."

Tao Qingbi put down her hands and said with peace of mind: "I think my father and my brother will be fine. We will wait for the good news at home."

The days passed quickly, and when Tao Zuoran and his son came back from the provincial capital, the family members did not dare to ask Tao Weizi for news, but he confessed himself: "I can write everything, but I don't know how to write everything." , and also wrote a general meaning.”

Tao Zuoran said to Tao Zuoliang and Tao Zuozhu: "I saw several shops in the provincial capital this time. Their carpentry work is exquisite. I drew some pictures and came back, but we can't copy other people's things. We can only For reference."

Tao Zuoliang and Tao Zuozhu looked at the drawing Tao Zuoran brought back, and they were very surprised and said: "Second brother (second brother), there is something wrong with your drawing, do you need the table legs to be so high?"

"The furniture made in the provincial capital now, the legs of tables, chairs and coffee tables are all made high, only the kang table is not much different from what we are doing now.

I didn't have a chance to see the beds they made, but I heard people say that there is a dowry bed for the newlyweds. In addition to the bed for sleeping, there is also a set of tables and chairs for entertaining guests to drink tea. "
