Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 331

How could Qin Yang know the trick? He felt that he didn't have a trick to win the exam. Maybe he was lucky, because he didn't feel much difference between last year and this year, but he won this year.It may be that the chief examiner felt that it was not easy for him to rush for the exam at a young age.

In the past, if he said that, everyone would keep teasing him, but now he is already a juren, and for everyone, once he wins the exam, he is a master, even those scholars have to respect him, he is already suddenly taller than them People who went out of the second floor.

Seeing everyone's earnest and respectful expressions, Qin Yang couldn't help being a little embarrassed, restrained his playfulness, and began to talk about his study history in a polite manner.

"First of all, I have to thank my fourth sister, who let me study, and also thank my grandfather, who paid for my education, and continue to thank Mr. Ren, who taught me strictly and carefully..." Xiuyao heard Drenched in cold sweat, this is almost an acceptance speech.

Later, I thanked my parents for their kindness, thanked my brothers and sisters, thanked the county magistrate, gentlemen and classmates, thanked... I thanked a circle, and finally summed it up, thanked the emperor for his great grace, and I will continue to work hard and serve the court...

Xiuyao stared blankly at Qin Yang who was chatting in front of her. Once upon a time, that little sheep who would act like a baby to her had grown up too. At such a young age, she had already spoken the words of an adult.What's more, it's still that kind of stereotyped and official language, which makes her a little uncomfortable, and feels that she can't keep up with the situation.

Then Qin Yang talked about this year's exam questions, how he analyzed how to solve the questions and how to write an essay, and enthusiastic applause broke out from time to time.

After finishing speaking, this kid still didn't forget to say, everyone encourages each other, if necessary, we will try our best to help each other.

He is not a gentleman, and he doesn't like to follow the rules. He gave everyone a special class, and many people benefited a lot. Since then, they have worked hard and made great progress.

Qin Yang cupped his hands, then stepped down from the podium dignifiedly and gracefully, walking in square steps, looking like a gentleman.

When he was out of everyone's sight, he ran away and rushed to Xiuyao, "Sister, sister, did I speak well?"

Xiuyao looked at him with a slight smile, and took his hand, "Our little sheep speaks the best, it's so good, my sister can't help but go to study for the exam."

Qin Yang grinned, "Sister, when I become a senior official, I will set up a girls' school for you and let you become a teacher."

Everyone laughed, and Qin Yang was going to socialize with other people, so Xiuyao went home first.

Qin Yang had a lively day at the county school, the county magistrate, the teacher, and his classmates, and then returned home, where the banquet began.

Because he has already won the exam, which is different from the previous Zhongxiucai. The Qin family doesn't want to hold it anymore, and has no worries.

The banquet for those scholars has already been held in the county school, so they are not afraid that when people from different classes and different classes get together, it will make them feel uncomfortable, and it will also make those small families feel awkward.

The banquet was scheduled for September 22, and Xiuyao led people to prepare for several days. There will be a three-day feast, except for relatives and friends who congratulate, other people can sit down and eat as long as they say auspicious words.

In addition to the banquet held by relatives and friends in the courtyard of the Qin family, other running water banquets were placed outside, from the door of the house to the riverside, and people who came and went could come and have a meal.

But people in Taoyuan Village can come to eat every day.

Now it is not the past, everyone will take advantage of a few meals, eat and drink for free, now that Qin Yang has won the Juren, that is the pride of Taoyuan Village and the representative of Taoyuan Village.Afterwards, they said that they were from the same village as Qin Ju, and their backs were tougher than others.

Therefore, when the Qin family held a feast of running water, the people in the same village, especially the Zhou family, gave away enough food, vegetables, meat and fish.

It would be a great honor for them to be invited to the banquet of Master Juren. If they weren't from the same village, and watched their family walk step by step, how could they have such face!

Apart from those from the same village, relatives and friends, and those who did business with the Qin family, everyone came to congratulate them one after another, and all of them gave generous gifts.

It's only been a day, and the sisters-in-law and aunts in the village are here to help, Xiuyao is too tired to lift her fingers.

She found a vegetable patch to hide in, stretched her body, let out a long breath, and enjoyed the stolen moment of peace.There was a spider on the top of the head, busy making a web, a gust of wind blew, the spider's feet slipped and fell off, and a filament pulled it and dangled.

Xiuyao smiled and said to herself, "Happiness comes from the sky."

Xiurong's voice came from outside, "Yaoyao, Yaoyao, why did you go?"

Xiuyao knew that there must be someone coming and she needed to entertain her. She was going to be exhausted, so she decided not to go!

Maybe because she didn't respond, Xiurong muttered a few words, and Jing Liang's voice sounded again, "Yaoyao may be exhausted, let her have a rest."

Xiurong smiled and said: "This girl, when she is exhausted, she doesn't care where she hides, she dare not go back to her own room. I haven't settled with her yet, she has made such a big mess, but she hides herself gone."

Jing Liang hurriedly said: "Why don't you take a break too, I'll ask He Hua to bring you food." He Hua is his sister, and she also came to help with her mother and elder brother.But Xiurong said that it's better to forget it, and then walked away.

Xiuyao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard them walking away, she could finally take a rest.

She was too tired, so she closed her eyes and wanted to take a rest, but who knew that after this rest, she fell asleep.

It was still a bit cold at first, but then it felt soft and warm again, so she continued to sleep beautifully.

She didn't know how long she had slept, but she woke up stretched out. The surrounding light was very dark, as if it was dark, but there were still noises outside, which must be the beginning of the evening water mat.In the evening, the hosts were all from the village. After a busy day, everyone sat down at the Qin's house, eating, drinking, talking and laughing, and it was very lively.

There was a refreshing smell at the end of her nose, like the smell of sea water. She took a deep breath, yawned, and fell asleep in a daze.As soon as she moved slightly, she felt something strange, one hand intertwined with her fingers, and she was lying in a warm and firm embrace, the corner of the blue dress...

"Qi Feng!"

A burst of joy surged from the bottom of her heart, she couldn't help crying, and when she turned her head, she saw the person holding her.

His eyes were clear, and he looked at her with a slight smile, his eyes were full of tenderness and indulgence, and the stubble on his chin, which he hadn't had time to shave off, gave him a little more majesty.

She couldn't help but raised her hand to wipe it, and asked, "When did you come back?"

Qi Feng raised his hand, straightened her messy hair at the sideburns, then took out an ivory hairpin decorated with red coral beads from his arms and inserted it for her, "When you hide here and sleep , I just came back, Xiurong said that I didn't find you, but she firmly believed that you were hiding here and being lazy, so I came to look for it, and Xiaobai found you right away."

After finishing speaking, he played with her slender fingers. The pointed fingers were very beautiful, like onion tubes, and the juice of the impatiens on the nails had faded away, revealing the pink nails.

"Then what dowry gift did you bring back?" Xiuyao's tone was not kind, and he dared to lie to her.

Qi Feng smiled and said: "Of course, I got a few pearls the size of longan by accident, does that count?"

Xiuyao gasped, didn't he want to recruit thieves to her family, he was so old, people thought he bribed Zhu Wang.

"There are more." She leaned on his shoulder, held his hand and looked at it. There were some small wounds on the palm of her slender fingers. The lines were clear and not messy, and there were some hard calluses at the base of her fingers.

There was a silver ring on the ring finger of his left hand, it had no pattern, it was just a plain silver ring, which was thrown to him when she parted.It was originally an ordinary ring, but now it was smooth and bright by his rubbing, and it looked more delicate in his big hand.

She wanted to question him at first, but now her heart softened, "You are very good at deceiving people."

She glared at him, and he knew that the matter had been exposed, but he didn't try to quibble, and smiled, "Xiao Qi wrote that some Japanese devils came to harass our inn. I'm afraid they are inexperienced, so I rushed over to have a look. But , the main purpose is really to get a dowry gift, if you want to marry me, I can't be too shabby."

As he spoke, he took out another oil-paper bag from his pocket, and handed it to her like a treasure, "Look at this."

Xiuyao asked in surprise, "What?"

Qi Fengdao: "A new kind of flower and tree, it is said that it bears some orange-sized fruits. It is bright red and very beautiful."

When Xiuyao asked again, he couldn't say more, so she guessed what it was, and then she couldn't help it, so she dragged him to plant it in the greenhouse.

"There's still time for this season, let's go."

Naturally, Qi Feng would not refuse her, she planted as soon as she said, and he immediately helped her find flower pots, fill them with soil, make fertilizer, and water them.

It was planted in a short while, and then placed in a suitable position in the greenhouse, waiting for it to germinate.

When walking out of the shed, Qi Feng said: "Yaoyao, I, I have something to hide from you, it's my fault, don't be angry."

Xiuyao snorted, knowing how to admit her mistakes, "Why am I angry? I'm not angry?"

Qi Feng laughed: "Then don't pursue it anymore, let's go and see what I brought back for you, and there are others who honor you."

Pull her out.

Xiuyao stopped in her tracks and stared at him, "Qi Feng, you have the opportunity to be the governor's son-in-law, why do you refuse?"

Qi Feng was stunned, "When did it happen? Why don't I know?"

"You still want to be sloppy with me," Xiuyao pounced on her, and Qi Feng quickly copied her, "Yaoyao, it's really nothing, the governor asked me if I had a wife, and I said I've already made a decision That's all."

Xiuyao snorted but was not angry, and grabbed his ear, "Where did you have someone last year? Why didn't I know."

Qi Feng didn't want her to worry, it was all over anyway, although the governor wanted to betroth his daughter to him, but he made it clear at the time that he already had a betrothed person, and he was about to get married when he returned home.

"Yaoyao, it's really nothing. Do you still remember that we caught several human traffickers back then. They kidnapped and sold the daughter of the prefect's family. The prefect Wu back then is the current governor Wu. He was just being polite. Ask me if I have Get married, you can help talk about the relationship, everyone is just a little warmer, I don't really want to betroth my daughter to me. You also know that I am just a poor boy, and I have no fame, and I am devoted to you. You're not stupid, why would you betroth your daughter to me?"

Hearing that he was desperate, Xiuyao felt a little better, and then she thought of something, and asked: "Then you have made meritorious service this time, should they ask for credit for you? Are you going to be an official?"

Qi Feng laughed and said: "If you want to be an official wife, I will be an official. If you don't want to, I will help you get some real money."

Xiuyao immediately said that if she had the opportunity, she would want the privilege of trading. Now some commodities are still heavily taxed. If there is a certain privilege, even if it is only for a year or a few commodities, it will be enough to toss.

Qi Feng pinched her nose, "Okay, everything is up to you."

Qi Feng listened to her, so she asked Qi Feng not to be an official for the time being. Even if he did, she would find out after Governor Wu left. It is said that he will stay in Jinan for two years, and then he will return to Beijing. of.

When he left, it would not be too late for Qi Feng to go, otherwise there would always be some lumps.

As for Qin Yangzhongju, Mr. Ren and Gu Ning soon got news. They both said that he could study at home. While reading, he could understand the court laws, state affairs, and some policies, etc., which would be beneficial for him to participate in the examination. .

Both said that he could take the test after the age of 16, so if he passed it, it would not be too late to practice in the Imperial Academy for a few years.

Qin Yang was also obedient, so he decided not to go to the capital for the exam and just study at home.

With Qin Yang's success, not only did the Qin family become more prestigious, the family no longer had to pay taxes, and the status of Taoyuan Village rose accordingly.And the old Liu's family is also natural, they put their family business under Qin Yang's name, and they are also exempted.In addition, there are quite a few relatives who want to come to visit, and some people recommend themselves as slaves... The Qin family only does what they can, and they will help if they can.
