Reborn farmhouse busy farming

Chapter 210

The first month is over, and Shangjing, which has been silent for a whole winter, is also bustling. Juzi from all over the country come from all over the country to gather in Shangjing, a treasured place of geomantic omen, and wait for the spring to become a blockbuster and be named on the gold list.

Every time Luo Tiandu went to the street, he would see many scholars in Confucian shirts, bowing to each other with cumbersome etiquette, and there were also many literati in restaurants, discussing current affairs all the time, boasting, very lively.

No matter which dynasty the literati have a common problem, that is, they like to talk about current affairs, and those who praise must be a few, while most of them criticize current affairs, and the scholars of this year are no exception.Luo Tian went out twice, hearing those scholars' high-spirited talk, his ears were calloused, so he stopped going out again, and only thought about it after the group of scholars returned to their hometown after the Spring Quarters.

In the past two years, Zuo Qingzhi seems to have finally gotten tired of being the chief examiner of Qiu Wei. Last year, Huaxi Mansion finally had a few more candidates. The government handed over the post.

This is a traditional custom here, just like modern people looking for fellow villagers in other places.One is to show respect to the elders, and the other is that the poor family must also ask for support. After all, they came from the same place, and they can support each other when they become officials in the court in the future.

There were 43 candidates who passed the examination in Huaxi Prefecture last year, and 31 candidates who participated in the general examination this year, and [-] candidates who came to Luofu to hand in their posts. Luo Baisu took the time to meet with these ten applicants one by one. , there were a few impoverished candidates, and the Luo family also supported the silver taels to some extent. Although the amount was not large, it was possible to support them until the end of the examination if they were diligent and thrifty.

Luo Tian thought to himself, these days the treatment of scholars is really good, not to mention that they don't have to pay taxes when farming at home, and when they go to Beijing to catch the exam, there are also people who support travel expenses and meals. The accommodation subsidy, no wonder it is an individual, has sharpened his head to squeeze on the single-plank bridge of the imperial examination.

After the new year, Qi Jin also sent a post to Luo's house, but the post was caught on fire by Xiang Lanna, and no one took it seriously. After that, Qi Jin seemed to have given up his mind and never came to Luo's house again. .

Luo Zijin is now one or two months old, and his face has gradually grown. He no longer looks like a red mouse when he was just born. He looks much prettier, and Luo Tian is willing to hug him and coax him occasionally.

After Fang's confinement period, the family affairs were gradually picked up. The first thing was to ask about Luo Mingdu and Qi Jin. She didn't ask anyone else, but only caught the honest Fang Min and asked her: "Minmin, what are you doing?" Tell aunt honestly, what is your elder sister and elder brother-in-law arguing about so seriously?"

Fang Min was an honest boy, and he hadn't mastered the profound language art of lying, so he stammered and said: "I don't know, maybe my brother-in-law is preparing to take the Jinshi exam, or you can ask Mingdu about it." sister?"

Fang became more and more suspicious: "No matter how important it is to be a Jinshi, you can't spend the New Year's Eve without showing up for a full moon, not to mention that the child's father deliberately left a lot of relationships and prepared many books with him, but these books are now piled up in the pile. I didn't take it out at home."

Fang Min said conveniently: "How would I know, why don't you ask my uncle or Xiaodu, aunt."

She also understood that in this family, Luo Baisu and Luo Tiandu were in charge, and she would rather offend the Fang family than offend those two.

Seeing that she was hesitating and unable to explain why, Fang felt vague doubts in her heart. A few days ago, she was confinement, even if she felt something was wrong, she didn't have the energy to worry about it. Now that she thinks about it, there are more and more doubts up.

Seeing Fang's suspicion, Fang Min turned around and told Luo Tian about it.She also understands that grandpa and grandma, who are in charge of the family's money, can't be counted on at all. It's annoying, and she will still depend on the Luo family for her dowry in the future, she doesn't want to offend Luo Tiandu at all.Whether it's Luo Baisu or Fang's, she will listen to whoever is willing to pay.

Luo Tiandu affirmed her wise approach, but now that Fang's child is born, and the confinement is over, Luo Tiandu is actually not so worried, even if Fang knows about Luo Mingdu's affairs, he is anxious There is some worry, but it's nothing serious, life has to go on, with Luo Zijin as a little guy, no matter how difficult things are, Fang probably can survive them.

However, even though Luo Tian considered all aspects, he still underestimated Fang's love for his daughter. Fang passed out on the spot after learning about Luo Mingdu and Qi Jin.

So, the family hurriedly went to invite the doctor, and Zishu went to the government office to invite Luo Baisu.The old doctor came in a short while. He has been to Luo's house more than a dozen times since last autumn. He took Fang's pulse very calmly, then stroked his goatee and said, "It's okay, it's just a temporary emergency. I am so angry, I prescribed two medicines and took it and everything will be fine, but my wife has just given birth, so it is best not to be overjoyed and sad, so I should try to persuade her to relax in everything."

Luo Mingdu blamed himself very much, thinking that it was his own fault that caused the whole family to worry about her.

Fang Min also blamed himself very much, and felt that it was because of his meddling that he learned Fang's words to Luo Tiandu, and then Luo Tiandu told Fang all the truth.

"It's all my fault. My aunt asked me a few words. I can't speak, which made her suspicious." Fang Min was sobbing there, shrugging his shoulders from crying, looking very pitiful.

"It's not your fault, it's not my fault." Luo Mingdu persuaded, staring at the unconscious Fang on the bed, feeling really sad.

"Why are you crying? You're still here!" Luo Tian was also worried. Women these days, if they say they are strong, they are quite strong inside. They can do anything for their children. If they say they are weak, they are really water If you do it, you can faint from fright even if you do something big, let alone something that will ruin Luo Mingdu's life.

She was staring at Mrs. Fang, and when she was pouring the medicine, Luo Baisu came back and saw Mrs. Fang lying down. The red face that had been brought back with great difficulty during confinement was now pale and pale, and he felt very sad. He was in a hurry, but he couldn't blame Luo Tian for doing anything wrong. He wrote two letters to Qiushui Town, one was to the magistrate of Jinyong County, and the other was to the old lady of the Qi family. After receiving the letter, it's time to send people to Beijing. There is no way to hide this matter. After a few days, Fang Shi should know about it. If Fang Shi doesn't remind Fang earlier, Fang Shi will be equally shocked by then. .

Luo Mingdu kept crying "fluttering fluttering", and finally wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and said: "I'd better clean up and go home."

Luo Tiandu glared at her and said, "Your home is here, where do you want to go back?"

Luo Baisu also persuaded: "Your mother knows now, even if you go back, it won't help. Besides, people like Qi Jin are really not good people. It's fine if you didn't know it before, but now you know it, it's absolutely right." I won't let you go back to Qi's house, so you can stay at home with peace of mind."

Luo Mingdu covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and then shed tears.

Fortunately, during the confinement period, Fang's confinement really took care of her well. She fainted for a while, drank half a bowl of medicine, woke up slowly, opened her eyes, and grabbed Luo Mingdu who was sitting on the bedside, crying It fell down: "My poor son, you are going to hurt me to death."

Since Luo Mingdu returned home, he endured everything, for fear that Fang Shi would see something wrong. Now that Fang Shi was crying like this, he couldn't bear it anymore, and lay on Fang Shi's body, crying loudly. It was as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances and shocks that were suppressed in her heart.

Luo Tian had never seen such a battle before, and he wanted to persuade him but didn't know how to persuade her, which made her want to cry.

Luo Zijin has always been brought by Mrs. Fang herself. At this moment, Mrs. Fang and Luo Ming are crying non-stop, which wakes up the sleeping Luo Zijin. The child is very sensitive. After waking up, Mrs. Fang did not hug him , also grinned and burst into tears.

Luo Tian breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Luo Zijin, put it in Fang's arms, and said, "Mother, don't cry, Zijin is scared."

Fang cried for a while, feeling sorry for her daughter, and also for her newborn son. With tears streaming down her face, she hugged Luo Zijin, turned around, and coaxed the child.

"What crime did I do? God wants to punish our family, so it should be aimed at me. What's the point of torturing my child to death like this?" Fang cried again while coaxing the child.

"Mother, it's all my fault, and it's all my uselessness. At this time, I still want to make my mother worry about me." Luo Mingdu cried for a while, his breath was a little loose, and he opened a pair of red eyes, sobbing authentically.

Fang patted the child, thinking that Luo Ming is still young, he will not even have a child in this life, how will he live in the future, thinking about it is heartfelt, mother and daughter are head to head, feeling sad burst into tears.

Luo Tiandu glared at the two of them: "What's there to cry about, our family, can't even afford to support the eldest sister? The Qi family... The Qi family let them go!"

Fang Shi was sad and didn't listen to what she said.

In the evening, Luo Zijin was hugged by Luo Mingdu, and took care of him all night. The couple lay on the bed without talking.

The worry in Fang's heart!Luo Mingdu is only 20 years old this year, and he was killed by Qi Jin, who killed a thousand swords, so that he will not be able to have children in the future. If a woman cannot have children these days, how can she live a good life?Even if you leave the Qi family, you won't be able to find any good family in the future.Fang tossed and turned, and didn't fall asleep all night. Later, she couldn't help it anymore, and half sat up, and saw Luo Baisu was also staring at the roof in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

"His father, what will Mingdu do in the future?" She wanted to cry again.

Luo Baisu turned over and replied after a long time: "What should we do? Just pretend that we didn't have this marriage, we will raise the child by ourselves, and we can't let someone else ruin it."
