Chapter 107 Enke
Early the next morning, the weather was fine. Mei Erhu and Mei Shitou went to Lin's and Yuan's houses after breakfast because Mrs. Mei helped take over the kang work.

The Lin family's kang is very simple, because his family has a small population and only needs a big bunk in the bedroom. However, the Yuan family's kang has a lot more requirements because of the large number of people and rooms.

After reading it, Mei Erhu and Mei Shitou specially asked for a piece of paper from Yuan's house and started writing and drawing with the carbonized end of the burned fire stick.

Although Mei Qian also took a look and didn't understand what her father was doing that didn't look like a blueprint or an instruction manual, Mei Erhu said he understood.

Mei Qian didn't say anything about this, and Mrs. Mei was going to take Mei Qian to do something else.

"Wishful dish?"

At first, Mei Qian didn't understand what Mrs. Mei was talking about. Later, Mei Qian slowly realized what her mother was talking about by describing it in her original memory and Mrs. Mei's mouth.

It turns out to refer to soybean sprouts.

In Mei Qian's original memory, the Mei family used the heat of the fire pit to make a batch of soybean sprouts to eat every winter.

"Okay! It's delicious whether it's made into soup or stir-fried."

For the first time, it was her grandma who took the initiative to introduce new ingredients, and Mei Qian was very happy with it.

Speaking of which, a lot of the cabbage that was first grown in their vegetable field is now edible. If Mrs. Mei hadn't mentioned soybean sprouts today, Mei Qian would have taken action on the cabbage in the next two days.

"Last time, the beans were basically finished. I'll wait for your father to go to the town and bring back some bricks for the kang.

Well, let's go back and ask the Lin family and the Yuan family if their horses and black donkeys can be pulled. Our little Hui has been working hard recently, and I plan to let him rest for a few days. "

Mrs. Mei was talking to herself, while Mei Erhu, who was listening at the side, whispered: "Mom, how did you know that Lin Xiucai was back?"

Yesterday, Mei Qian heard her grandma talking to Mrs. Bai in the yard and found out that Lin Qin had been out with the donkey for several days. And when her father went to Lin's house this morning to see where the fire pit was, she realized that Lin Qin didn't know anything. The time has come.

Mei Erhu was sure that he hadn't said anything about it after he came back today. He looked at Mrs. Mei again and said, "Mom, did you go to Lin's house this morning?"

"Go, go. When I took Xiao Hui out in the morning, I found a big pile of donkey droppings on the road. Aren't we and the Lin family the only ones with donkeys around here? My Xiao Hui has been staying in the yard since last night. Then This piece of shit belongs to the Lin family."

However, because Mrs. Mei had previously said about borrowing the Yuan family's carriage and the Lin family's donkey cart, Mei Erhu shamelessly asked Mrs. Mei to help borrow them.

Mrs. Mei was so angry that she was cursing as she walked to Yuan's house. Upon seeing this, Mei Qian glanced at her father helplessly and asked, "Dad, are you not afraid of being beaten by me?"

"I'm afraid, but your grandma has the best relationship with the Yuan family. I'm either busy outside or working outside every day, and I'm not very familiar with the Yuan family.

I didn't mention this when I came to check on the location of the fire bed just now, and now I'm going over to talk about this..." Mei Erhu scratched his head, but soon he said, "It's okay, I'll go borrow the donkey cart from Lin's house! "

However, Mei Erhu went there and came back soon, and borrowing the car went smoothly. However, Lin Xiucai was not at home when he went, saying he was at Yuan's house.

Sure enough, when Mrs. Mei came back, she said that she had borrowed donkey carts from two companies, and said that Mei Erhu was so lucky that she "solved" them both as soon as she stepped out.

Naturally, Mei Erhu would not say shamelessly that he also borrowed the Lin family's donkey. Instead, he looked at Mrs. Mei with admiration and praised Mrs. Mei again and again with Mei Qian.

"When you go to buy bricks later, Sanlang Yuan will go shopping with you in the town. You can just drive the donkey cart to Lin's house later."

After Mrs. Mei finished speaking, Mei Qian also suggested that she should follow Mei Erhu out. Mrs. Mei didn't stop her too much. There weren't many things going on in winter, and Mei Qian didn't just go out to cause trouble, so Mrs. Mei didn't stop her too much.

···
"Will there be Enko next spring?"

Sitting on the donkey cart, Mei Erhu and Yuan Si chatted about Enke who accidentally mentioned next year.

"Well, I told my father yesterday that it will be March next year."

Listening to Yuan Si talking about Lin Qin's return last night, he actually informed the Yuan family about it overnight. Mei Erhu subconsciously thought that someone from the Yuan family was going to take the imperial examination, so Lin Qin was anxious to tell the Yuan family the news.

"Then who in your family plans to participate?"

"No one in my family will participate." Yuan Si shook his head. "The eldest brother and father are not in good health. The father of the younger children said that they should prepare for the childbirth examination. But he encouraged himself to participate in the Enke next year. I am afraid that my father will not be free this winter. of."

Hearing that the Lin family member planned to take the imperial examination, Mei Qian also looked over and asked as if casually: "If Uncle Lin family passes the examination, won't he be able to become an official?"

"That's right! With his talent and learning, if he hadn't been delayed for a few years due to the death of his parents, he wouldn't still be a scholar today."

After learning about Lin Qin's abilities from Yuan Jun's mouth, Mei Qian didn't know if there was any bragging in it, but Mei Qian thought about the conversation between Mrs. Yuan and her grandma when she mentioned that Mr. Yuan really accepted him as her disciple. students.

At present, except for Lin Qin, the others have all been promoted to become officials. For reference, Lin Qin's knowledge and ability are naturally not bad.

···
Yao Lin, Chen family.

"you sure?"

Chen Cuihe put the letter in his hand aside and stared at Chen Acai in front of him, "Is this really what the clan uncle said?"

"Yes, the head of the family. A few days ago, the Minister and the Minister of Civil Affairs were out drinking, and they talked about this matter. He said that next year Enke will select talents to fill the vacancies in the court. It is said that the content of Enke's exam next year will be different from the past."

"What is the difference?"

"This, this little one doesn't know."

Chen Ah Cai's smile was a little forced. Did his family leader really think of him as a secret agent of the Imperial City Department?
How could he know such a thing? It was really not easy to know this.

"What you said is very different from what the clan uncle said." Hearing Chen Cuihe's words, Chen Ahcai was frightened and looked up at Chen Cuihe regardless of his dignity. Seeing Chen Cuihe's expression, he was not very angry. Seemingly, Chen Ahcai felt relieved.

"Uncle Clan said that His Majesty plans to recruit the children of the aristocratic family while opening Enke. Please let me calm down and just wait for the recruitment."

After Chen Cuihe said that, Chen Ahcai didn't speak for a while. It wasn't until Chen Cuihe asked him what he really thought that Chen Ahcai said bravely:

"There are so many people to take the imperial examination, but recruitment is different. With the talent and learning of the head of the family, once he enters the dynasty, he will definitely be the prime minister, hahahahaha~"

Chen Ahcai couldn't help but flatter him as he spoke, but he didn't hear a word from Chen Cuihe after he flattered him for a long time.

He raised his head carefully and met an extremely cold face...

Chen Acai: I regret it, I don’t want to follow the master and join QAQ
