Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 495 Don’t talk about friendship, just talk about interests

As soon as everyone sat down, Lu Baichuan came back.

He Jiuniang teased him: "Mr. Lu, you are so lucky. Come quickly, I'll leave you alone!"

Lu Baichuan also felt strange when he saw this scene and said, "Mr. Kang has brought the banquet to his home!"

Everyone laughed for a while. Lu Baichuan sat down and drank some wine with Kang Xiucai. The other children also talked about some interesting things. No one mentioned the lotus thing, so that she would not feel embarrassed in front of everyone.

He Jiuniang secretly observed Lianhua's performance. She was actually a little nervous at first. Later, she was exaggerated by everyone's atmosphere, and then slowly relaxed, and she could tell jokes along with the others.

At first, Mr. Kang told the children that they must study hard and that all of them would pass the exam in the future. Later, after drinking too much, he kept talking about the things he had experienced in his life.

First, he said that he was weak and sick. Even if he was admitted to the scholar examination, his body could not support him to take the examination. Later, he met He Jiuniang and others. He was so lucky. It was the greatest blessing in his life.

Then, he talked about Meng Zhang again, saying that he didn't know people well enough to be framed by such a person. Likewise, if it hadn't been for the help of He Jiuniang and Lu Baichuan, this matter wouldn't have been solved so easily.

Then there was another burst of emotion, gratitude to the Lu family.

Lu Baichuan and his wife have heard him say it many times, but they have never interrupted him. After such an experience, these friendships are indeed enough for him to remember for a lifetime. He often talks about them, which proves that he is a grateful person. He understood how much the Lu family helped him.

Tonight was called a banquet, but in fact it was just a small dinner party, but Kang Xiucai was still very happy and always toasted to Lu Baichuan.

"Mr. Kang, it's better to drink less. Drinking too much alcohol will harm your health."

In fact, they were more elegant tonight, using small wine cups that could only hold four or five milliliters. It would be okay to drink a few more cups, but He Jiuniang was still worried that he would drink to pieces like last time, which would be dangerous.

He was originally weak before. Although he is better now, he still needs to take good care of him. Who knows when the disease will come to visit him again?

Kang Xiucai nodded repeatedly and said, "I know it, so I changed it to a smaller one tonight, hahahaha!"

As he spoke, he showed off the small wine cup in his hand to He Jiuniang.

He Jiuniang: ...Thank you, I am so cute.

The children ate very quickly. After they were full, they ran to study and do their homework. Originally, Lianhua felt that she was too old to leave early, but He Jiuniang still let her go and asked Yueshu to take care of them. Let her have any other ideas.

Although after observing it like this, she felt that Lianhua would never do stupid things again, but no one could say for sure. Maybe Lianhua would still be sad when she thought about it when she went back, and she acted in a moment of excitement?

The three people at the dinner table basically talked about everything, because they were at home, and they had no worries. They talked about farm matters at one moment and things in the court at the next.

Kang Xiucai drank too much and dared to comment on the old emperor. He kept saying that some of the things the old emperor did were very wrong.

"His Royal Highness Chen is such a good person. He has always been doing things for the people. His Majesty not only refuses to reward him, but even suppresses him at every turn. Alas! I really don't know what he thinks!"

"If one day I can stand in the court, I will definitely ask him why he is so unfair to His Highness King Chen!"

"Hahahaha, I've said that now, but I don't know if I'll dare to do it then! Hahahahaha, let's talk about it then!"

……

He Jiuniang glanced at Lu Baichuan silently. She was really drunk and cowardly. Kang Xiucai dared to say such things!

Lu Baichuan looked at her, smiled tacitly, and also advised Kang Xiucai to drink less.When Kang Xiucai met them before, he was still very unfamiliar, and he mostly used modest words. Now he is better, and he doesn't even claim to be subordinate, and talks about you and me.

But they all liked Kang Xiucai very much. He was so knowledgeable, and he would not be like other people who were too lazy to study and only believed in one dead idea.

In terms of knowledge, Kang Xiucai was a very adaptable person, otherwise he would not have done so well in knowledge.

With such a person as a role model, the children in the family will not be any worse.

It wasn't until the moon reached the treetops that Kang Xiucai felt that he should go and stood up to say goodbye to them.

Tonight, Kang Xiucai was just drunk, but he was not completely drunk. At least he was still conscious. He didn't stagger when he got up and walked, which was much better than last time.

"Mr. stay!"

Lu Baichuan stood up and waved to Xu Yong who was standing not far away. Xu Yong hurried over and offered what he had in his hand.

Lu Baichuan took it, walked around the table to Kang Xiucai, and handed the thing in his hand to him.

"The spring exam is just around the corner. Mr. Kang went home and went to the capital as soon as possible to prepare for the exam. He went in advance. It is convenient for both the accommodation and the college he needs to contact. The money is not much, but please accept it, sir."

Participating in banquets requires giving gifts. They had already planned not to give gifts but to give money directly. This was what Kang Xiucai really lacked.

If he gave a gift, although it was valuable, Kang Xiucai would definitely be embarrassed to sell it because it was given by them, and he would continue to live a life of poverty.

Kang Xiucai stared blankly at the stack of banknotes, which amounted to at least five or six hundred taels. It was heavy in his hand, and he woke up from the drunkenness as soon as he got a little drunk.

"Third Master, this is..."

He didn't know what to say. Although he did need this money now, the amount of money was too huge. It was very likely that he would never earn so much in his lifetime, so how could he dare to accept it?
"Sir, please accept it. This is all our kindness. When you go to the capital this time, there are many places to spend money. These are nothing. Don't be polite to us."

He Jiuniang was smiling and her tone was so gentle that people couldn't bear to refuse.

But Kang Xiucai still resisted the temptation and wanted to stuff the money back, but Lu Baichuan took two steps back in advance, leaving him no chance to stuff it.

"Mr. Lu, you have helped me too much, how can I charge so much money!"

Kang Xiucai was a little anxious. He really couldn't bear such a great gift and affection.

What virtue and ability do I have to let them help me like this?
Even if he is the enlightenment teacher of a group of children, he is not worthy of what they have to do for themselves.

"Sir, please accept it, we are not giving this money for free."

Lu Baichuan didn't want to push him for too long, so he spoke straightforwardly.

Kang Xiucai was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what Lu Baichuan meant.

Is it borrowed?
Fortunately, if he makes money in the future, he will definitely return it in full!
However, Lu Baichuan continued: "Mr. Kang is a great talent, and he will definitely pass the imperial examination to high school. This time, Mr. Lu does not talk about friendship with Mr. Kang, but only about interests."
