Chapter 105
Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren stayed overnight in Xihe County as usual. When they were planning to return to Qingshui Town the next day, someone from the county government invited Li Mingren!
This time, Xihe County took a total of three scholars, and County Magistrate Chen was very happy. Originally, according to the procedure, these talents were not summoned until they entered the county school, but County Magistrate Chen had dealt with Zhao Yunlan before, so when Li Mingren took the exam After passing the government examination, he began to pay attention to Li Mingren's movements. Even Li Mingren's son Chen County Magistrate knew about Li Mingren's visit to Liu's small courtyard.As soon as Li Mingren arrived in Xihe County, County Magistrate Chen made up his mind to meet this man first!

Li Mingren was also at a loss when he came to the county office. Before the county magistrate summoned him, Li Mingren stood in the lobby of the county office with doubts in his heart, but his face was calm and composed.

Li Mingren looked at the county magistrate Chen who came out without official uniform, stepped forward and cupped his hands!

County Magistrate Chen stopped and said, "Li Xiucai, I invited you here today to have a brief chat with you, so let's be casual and sit with me in the backyard."

Li Mingren: "Yes, County Magistrate Chen, let County Magistrate Chen lead the way!"

The two went to the backyard of the county yamen one after the other. After they sat down, the servant girl brought tea to them. Chen Yuhong said, "How does Li Xiucai feel about this court exam?"

Li Mingren: "Some people are happy and some are worried. I am also lucky. This time, the number of admissions has increased, so I can pass."

Chen Yuhong didn't speak, and Li Mingren continued: "My wife said 'Three points are destined, seven points depend on hard work, hard work will win' is a bit rough, but I think there is some truth!"

Chen Yuhong nodded slightly, as if agreeing with Li Mingren's words, which made Li Mingren feel embarrassed, "I made County Magistrate Chen laugh."

Chen Yuhong waved his hand, "Take a good rest during this time, and then you have to study harder when you enter the county school. The teachers in the county school are very knowledgeable, so you can ask them if you don't understand!"

Li Mingren nodded in response, after that, the two of them didn't talk about any serious topics, and Chen Yuhong only asked about family affairs, Li Mingren relaxed and coped with it freely.Seeing that it was almost time, Chen Yuhong asked Li Mingren to go back thinking that Li Mingren was going back to Lijiacun.

After Li Mingren went back, Zhao Yunlan didn't ask about Li Mingren's situation. The two rushed back to Qingshui Town as soon as possible. Li Mingren was upset. Why didn't the lady wonder what the county magistrate asked her to do?
Zhao Yunlan was really not curious, this scholar was not stolen, it was a real test, and the county magistrate Chen did not arrest Li Mingren, so he didn't bother to care about this matter, even though they were husband and wife, they couldn't bother with everything, If Li Mingren is willing to speak, then he will listen carefully. If Li Mingren does not speak, it is not a big deal, and Zhao Yunlan will not care too much.

Now Zhao Yunlan only thinks that she can finally go home and build a house, and the plans for the future can be gradually arranged, and the family no longer has to worry about paying taxes due to corvee!
When the two arrived in Qingshui Town, Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren went to the school to see Li Mingzhi and Zhao Yuncheng first, planning to take them back to have a meal together.But Zhao Yuncheng didn't want to go to Li's house with him. After studying for more than half a year, Zhao Yuncheng became more stable and gradually changed his views on studying.That's why I thought about spending more time staying and reading, and this time my brother-in-law had just returned after being admitted to the show, Zhao Yuncheng thought that the Li family must want to have a family to talk to, even though it was his sister's in-law's family, it was the Li family after all.

Zhao Yuncheng thought that it would be good to wait for his sister's house to set up a feast, and then go to the door with his parents to congratulate him. Now he should study hard in school.

Li Mingming asked for leave with his husband. After all, it was a big happy event for the Li family, and he wanted to go back and listen to what his elder brother had learned about the college exam, and let his elder brother silently bring the exam questions back.

Li Mingren went to see the husband together, and thanked the husband for taking care of him over the years. The husband also burst into tears, and he was happy for Li Mingren that he was finally admitted as a scholar.Seeing that Zhao Yuncheng didn't want to go, Zhao Yunlan didn't force her to do so. After saying goodbye, the three of them went to Liji hot and sour noodle shop.

Li Mingyi was already closed, and the sun had already set, and the four of them returned to Lijia Village together in a carriage.

It was getting colder day by day, and people in the village closed their doors early at night. When Zhao Yunlan and the others came back, the house was still closed.Mrs. Wang figured that Li Mingren should come back in the next few days, so the door was closed late every day.

Li Mingren got off the car and went straight to the room: "Father, mother, the baby is back, this time I lived up to the expectations of the elders, I was admitted as a scholar!"

Old man Li has been agitated for the past few days. Seeing Li Mingren's return, tears welled up all at once. Mrs. Wang's eyes were also red, and the whole family had mixed feelings.

Zhao Yunlan hadn't seen Xiaobao for a long time, she hugged Xiaobao and refused to let go, Xiaobao also missed Zhao Yunlan, mother and son cuddled together, Xiaobao told interesting stories at home during this time.

Wang's emotions were almost vented, she straightened her body, looked at Zhao Yunlan and asked, "What is the arrangement behind?"

Zhao Yunlan straightened up: "Mother, my husband will go to the county school to study in the future. I followed my husband to take the exam this time and also set up a shop in Fucheng. When my second brother's marriage comes, we can start working on the restaurant. The restaurant is almost stable, and the second brother will take care of it."

Zhao Yunlan looked at Li Mingyi, who nodded unambiguously.

Zhao Yunlan continued: "Mom, I want to take advantage of this time to build the house at home. There are still more than two months before the second brother's marriage, so we can invite more people to help in time!"

Mrs. Wang nodded, "Then do as you said. I will invite people tomorrow. Everyone in the village is free this day. I will take care of everyone if I can. When the house is built, we will invite the villagers to have a drink together." Zhong, this time Dalang is admitted to be a scholar, we will not hold a separate banquet. Tomorrow, Dalang, you go to the village head’s house. Forget it."

Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren nodded. Old man Li just came out of his emotions, and when he heard that he was going to build a house, he felt emotional again.

Wang continued: "When will Dalang go to study in the county? I want to match Dalang with a servant, and then go to the town to find a dentist to see if there is any suitable one!"

Zhao Yunlan suddenly came to her senses, living in this ancient times, people can be bought and sold.Although they had hired people to work before, they didn't sign a contract of sale after all. This time, if the Wang family wanted to find someone, they wanted to buy someone!

Seeing Wang's ability to adapt to her identity so quickly, she feels a little uncomfortable with this sense of class.In the past, Li Jiaqiong was only a commoner. In addition, the folk customs in Lijia Village are simple and honest. Zhao Yunlan was lucky, and the dignitaries he met did not abuse their power and put on airs.

Zhao Yunlan was dumbfounded and did not respond.Li Mingren sensed Zhao Yunlan's discomfort, so he said, "Mother, we'll talk about this boy later, he's going to school after September [-]th, and it's only a few days away, so we won't be able to find him anytime soon." If I find the right person, I can handle it myself without a servant, so I'll read the book first and then read it later!"

Seeing Li Mingmei come in with a few bowls of noodles, Mrs. Wang said, "Well, let's have some casual food first, let's rest early today!"
