Lucky men are the last to have children, and fertile women are the last to have children

Chapter 480: The Delicate and Soft Sister-in-law VS the Black-hearted Brother-in-law Who Was Borrowed for Seed 30
Here, Chen Mufeng was sitting on a bumpy ox cart. The sky had not yet fully brightened and everything around was hazy.

The one driving the ox cart was Old Man Zhou from the village. As he drove the ox cart, he said to Chen Mufeng, "Liu Lang, are you going to participate in the Autumn Examination?"

"Yes, Uncle Zhou."

Chen Mufeng responded with a smile.

"Haha, this is a big deal that will bring honor to our family. You must study hard and try to pass the exam. Then our whole village will benefit from it."

Old man Zhou smiled happily.

Chen Mufeng smiled softly when he heard this, "Since it concerns my future, I will do my best, but the outcome of the imperial examination is unpredictable, so I can only try my best."

Chen Xiutian also echoed: "Yes, Uncle Zhou, my sixth brother has always studied hard. This time when he goes to Fengqi County, he will definitely get good grades."

Old man Zhou laughed, "That's good, that's good. I think Liu Lang has a promising future."

The ox cart moved forward slowly, and the three of them chatted all the way, and before they knew it, they had arrived at Qingshi Town.

As agreed, Chen Mufeng met up with his classmates at a teahouse, Qingfeng Pavilion, which was also the only teahouse.

When Chen Mufeng brought Chen Xiuyuan into the teahouse, they found that they had already arrived and were sitting at a table in the corner reviewing their lessons.

A man dressed in gorgeous clothes with a green jade pendant hanging around his waist, looking very noble. He was the son of the tea merchant, Li Mingxuan.

Next to Li Mingxuan, there was a man in a blue shirt sitting. He had a handsome face and an elegant temperament. Although his clothes were clean and tidy, they were washed so lightly.

Obviously his family is not wealthy.

His name was Zhang Shuhan and his family also lived in the town. His mother was a widow who raised him alone, earning some money by doing sewing for others and supporting his studies for the imperial examinations, which was not easy.

When Chen Mufeng was studying in school, he was often seen drinking water to satisfy his hunger, or chewing dry and hard steamed buns.

Zhang Shuhan looked down at the book in his hands and frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about the difficult points in the book.

Li Mingxuan looked up and saw Chen Mufeng coming in. He was slightly startled and greeted him with a smile, "Brother Chen, you are finally here. We have been waiting for a long time."

When Zhang Shuhan heard the voice, he reacted and quickly put down his book and went forward to greet him.

Chen Mufeng walked over quickly, smiled and bowed, saying, "Brother Li and Brother Zhang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

"It's okay, come on, let's drink some tea to moisten our throats."

Li Mingxuan led Chen Mufeng to sit down, and then he saw Chen Xiutian following behind.

He looked at Chen Mufeng and asked with a smile: "Brother Chen, who is this?"

Chen Mufeng finally reacted and hurriedly introduced: "Brother Li, Brother Zhang, this is my brother. This time, my brother specially accompanied me to Fengqi County for the Autumn Examination, so that I can have someone to take care of me on the way."

Upon hearing this, Li Mingxuan quickly stood up and saluted, "It turns out to be Brother Chen. I have heard of you for a long time. It is a blessing to have Brother Chen with you this time. Brother Chen will surely have a safe journey without worries. "

Chen Xiutian quickly put down his bag and imitated their gesture of bowing in return. "Master Li and Master Zhang, you are too polite. I just did what I could to ensure that my sixth brother arrived safely in Fengqi County, so that he could take the exam with peace of mind."

These scholars speak in a very literary way, which sounds weird.

Li Mingxuan laughed, bowed and said a few polite words, then asked Chen Xiutian to sit down with him.

Although he did not bring his family with him, he did bring a servant, who was waiting outside by the carriage.

After exchanging greetings, everyone took their seats.

The teahouse is filled with the aroma of tea, and various exquisite tea sets are arranged in an orderly manner.

Li Mingxuan skillfully brewed a pot of good tea and poured a cup for each of the three people.

"This is Longjing tea produced in my home, you can try it."

Li Mingxuan said proudly.

Chen Mufeng and Zhang Shuhan picked up the teacup and took a sip. They found the tea had a rich aroma and an endless aftertaste.

Chen Xiuyuan also picked it up and drank it. He was thirsty, so he drank it all in one gulp.

I just feel that this tea is very bitter and not as delicious as water.

When Chen Mufeng saw his elder brother finish drinking it in one gulp, the corner of his mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything. He just chuckled and said, "Brother Li, your tea is really as famous as it is said to be."

"It's really good."

Zhang Shuhan also praised with a smile.

"Of course." Li Mingxuan smiled. "By the way, Brother Chen, do you have any plans for your trip to Fengqi County this time?"

Chen Mufeng thought for a moment and said, "I plan to find a good place to stay first, and then prepare for the exam with peace of mind. However, I heard that the prices of inns in Fengqi County have increased a lot recently, and I don't know if I can find a suitable one."

"Don't worry about this."

Li Mingxuan patted his chest and said, "My family also has property in Fengqi County. I will have someone arrange a quiet place for you when the time comes. I guarantee that it will not affect your preparation for the exam." Chen Mufeng was overjoyed when he heard this. "Thank you very much, Brother Li!"

The three chatted for a while, then got up and went to where the carriage was parked.

Li Mingxuan's carriage was spacious and comfortable, with soft cushions, and some books and tea sets placed inside.

Three people rode in one car and didn't feel crowded at all.

There was another relatively ordinary carriage behind, which was used by Li Mingxuan's servant, and there were gifts on it.

Chen Xiutian took his luggage and sat in the back.

This saved Chen Mufeng and Zhang Shuhan the trouble of renting another carriage, and they were able to benefit from Li Mingxuan's help.

After everyone sat down, the carriage started slowly and moved along the streets of Qingshi Town.

Inside the carriage.

Chen Mufeng, Li Mingxuan and Zhang Shuhan were chatting and laughing, some talking about the Autumn Examination, some occasionally asking each other questions, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Quanshui Village, Chen Family Courtyard.

After Chen Mufeng and Chen Xiutian left, the house seemed to become much quieter.

Wang was always thinking about the thirty taels of silver she had given away, and the more she thought about it, the more painful it felt.

But since it concerns Liu Lang's future, he has to take it. He always wants to make up for it from somewhere.

She suddenly thought of Yu Yao. She remembered that this unlucky girl had gone to the town to hand in an embroidery job a few days ago. There must be silver in the house. The urge to steal the silver came up again.

But no one knew where the unlucky star hid the silver, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find it.

Now I can't help but want to go look for it.

"Why don't we go into the house and look for it while that unlucky guy is not around? It's so small in there, it could be hiding in some corner."

Wang sat in the room, muttering to herself.

That day, she saw that everyone else in the family was busy working outside, and Chen Xiuyuan was weeding in the backyard. His health had gradually recovered, and although he could not do heavy work, he could still do light work.

As soon as his health improved, he could not stay still and took a hoe to weed the vegetable garden in the backyard.

Yu Yao also went to help, mainly to keep an eye on Chen Xiuyuan, fearing that something might happen to him.

After all, my body is not fully recovered yet.

After Qian and Chen Xiuhe had a quarrel, she returned to her parents' home.

But he did not take his son with him, he went back on his own. Chen Xiuhe did not stop him, he just went as he pleased.

Qian was so angry that she packed her things, slammed the door and went back to her parents' home.

Although Qian was lazy and greedy, she was the only daughter in the family and lived a good life.

Although her brothers and sisters-in-law disliked her, her parents treated her very well.

Zhao was not at home either, as she was called away to help.

Wang saw that no one was at home, so she quietly went to the door of the third room.

Although the door was locked, Wang had the key. She took out the key, opened the door and went in.

Then, he started looking for silver all over the house.

She looked in the closet first, turning the clothes upside down, but found nothing except a few old clothes.

"Where on earth did this unlucky guy hide the silver?"

Wang was so angry that she hurriedly sorted out the messy clothes in the closet, then reached inside the box and found that it was locked.

Looking at the locked box, she frowned. She had the key to the lock of the door of her house, but the box inside the house was not locked.

Because this belongs to the third room.

She kicked the box in anger and cursed in a low voice: "This unlucky star even locked the box. It's hidden very well. Could it be that the silver is hidden inside?"

Wang wanted to pry the lock open, but after trying for a long time, she failed. She was so angry that she started cursing again.

Just look somewhere else.

She touched everything on and under the bed, including the blue bricks on the floor.

There were also several pottery jars and boxes in the room, and she poured out all the contents.

Not to mention silver, not even a copper coin was found, which made Wang so angry that she started cursing again.
