The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 124 Trinity
"Since we're here, let's go after eating," Yao Yu said.

"Okay." Zhu Zi was not polite, he had always liked staying here with Yao Yu, and felt that it was much more relaxed at his aunt's house than at home.

During the meal, Mr. Ji heard about the reason for Zhuzi's visit, and said that he could give Zhuzi one or two pointers after dinner. Zhuzi was very excited when he heard it. Not a small benefit, Zhu Zi hurriedly put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said respectfully, "Thank you, Mr. Ji."

In March, the results of the examination finally reached Jiangzhou, and Xie Nuo successfully entered the palace examination as Huiyuan.Since the palace examination will be held in April, Nuo'er and Pei'an will continue to stay in Beijing. Yao Yu suddenly feels that the 2000 taels given to Pei'an at the beginning are not enough, and wants to ask someone to bring more money to the capital, but right now he doesn't know who to turn to. When Yao Yu was in a hurry, Zhao Wensheng paid a visit.

Yao Yu invited Zhao Wensheng to the living room, "Why is Mr. Zhao free to come over today?"

This three-entry courtyard is not big and not prosperous, but Zhao Wensheng feels that walking here is very comfortable, "I have already inquired about the war last year, and the list of those who died in the battle has been distributed to various states and counties, and there is no brother Xie in it." name."

Without Xie Zhimo's name, it means that Xie Zhimo is still alive, Yao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you Mr. Zhao."

"You don't have to thank me. I was the one who recommended Brother Xie to join the army. I should be responsible for his safety." Zhao Wensheng said, "By the way, I plan to leave for the capital tomorrow. Shopkeeper or Shopkeeper Shen." Zhao Wensheng explained to both of them that no matter what difficulties Yao Yu had, they would definitely help if they could.

Yao Yu was overjoyed, "Master Zhao is going to the capital?"

"Yes." Zhao Wensheng wondered why Yao Yu suddenly became so happy, "I saved half of the grapefruit tea you made last year at home. Tomorrow, I plan to bring grapefruit tea, rum and sausages to the Let’s take a look at the capital.” The Zhao family’s industry in Jiangzhou is close to saturation, and they decided to develop in Jiangzhou a long time ago, but they finally started to take action this year.

Yao Yu understood this, "If Master Zhao is going to the capital, please do me a favor."

"Ms. Yao just let me know if you have something to do." It seemed that she could help Yao Yu and put Zhao Wensheng in a good mood.

"My eldest son is preparing for the palace examination in April in the capital. I'm afraid he doesn't have enough taels. There are 5000 taels here. Please, Mr. Zhao, bring them to him." Yao Yu said.

Zhao Wensheng knew of Xie Nuo's performance in the examination, and the entire Zhao family now agreed that Zhao Wensheng and Yao Yu should have more contact. If Zhao Wensheng hadn't stopped him, the family would have sent Yao Yu a post to invite them to visit.In today's Jiangzhou, not to mention the Zhao family, everyone wants to have a relationship with Yao Yu's family. Everyone knows that Nuo'er can enter the palace examination at a young age, and she will not be an idle person in the future, "Don't worry, this Leave it to me."

In April, the palace exam was held as scheduled. Yao Yu knew that no matter how Nuoer did in the exam, they would have to wait for half a month to find out, so he was not particularly nervous, but Mr. Ji was a little restless all day long.

Yao Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Ji, otherwise I will ask my second brother to take you to the capital."

Old Man Ji said helplessly, "You girl, you are making fun of me as an old man." But to be honest, Old Man Ji really wanted to go to the capital to see how Nuo'er was doing in the exam.Old man Ji sighed, he has been away for ten years, ten years in a flash, this time flies so fast.

The days seem to be back to normal. Yao Yu goes to the shop every morning to be busy for a while, and comes back to take care of Xie You in the afternoon. Sometimes Mr. Ji will ask Xiao Ruirui to learn some simple words when he is free, but Xiao Ruirui seems to prefer to dance with knives. gun.

Once in his free time, Yao Yu took Xiao Ruirui to the martial arts gym where Xie Zhimo used to work. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ruirui fell in love with this place at the first sight. People also like Xiao Ruirui very much, so sometimes Yao Yu simply asks Aunt Jiang to send Xiao Ruirui to the martial arts gym, and when there are casual workers in the afternoon, someone in the martial arts gym will drop by and bring Xiao Ruirui back.In less than two months, Xiao Ruirui's muscles have become much stronger, and Yao Yu has to admit that this Xie Rui has inherited Xie Zhimo more.

"Boss Yao, I want a multigrain pancake with crispy pancakes and sliced ​​meat." Yao's breakfast is at this time every morning, because Yao Yu is still a little unfamiliar with not making multigrain pancakes for a long time, but making After a few times, I quickly found the feeling.

"Immediately." Yao Yu quickly made a multigrain cake, put it on a plate, and served it to the guest.

Many customers came to the store, and the popularity seemed to be very strong, but the sound in the store was quickly covered by the sound of gongs and drums outside.

Luo Che asked curiously, "Did something happen in broad daylight?"

Both Wang Fengzhen and Aunt Wu shook their heads, obviously they didn't know what was going on outside, some customers in the store ran to the door to see, only to hear someone shout, "It's the magistrate!"

Wang Fengzhen was the most straightforward, "This prefect is really different when he goes out." In Wang Fengzhen's heart, few of these officials are real.

Yao Yu couldn't help explaining, "There must be something wrong." Yao Yu met Cheng Fangzhi, the magistrate of Jiangzhou, a long time ago, and he had the impression that Cheng Fangzhi was a very low-key official, but he didn't know why he was out today. .

Luo Shi then said, "That's right, the people of Jiangzhou seem to appreciate the prefect quite a lot."

The customers of the shop also discussed, "I have been in Jiangzhou for so many years, and I have never seen the prefect go out with this battle."

"Don't talk about you, I've never seen anything like this in most of my life."

"That's right, I don't know why the magistrate did what he did today."

The large army stopped when they reached Yao's early door, and the voices of everyone discussing quickly fell down.

"Could it be that the magistrate heard us discussing him?"

"Oops, no, there is nothing wrong with this misfortune. I will not dare to talk about it next time."

"What should I do? I also participated in the discussion just now."

The guests tacitly pretended to bow their heads to eat, and Wang Fengzhen and Luo Shi hurriedly lowered their heads to do their work, as if doing so could show that the discussion just now had nothing to do with them.The outside of the shop was already surrounded by common people, everyone seemed to want to know what the magistrate wanted to do, and everyone saw Cheng Fangzhi walking towards Yao's breakfast step by step.

Hey, isn't it? Could it be said that the magistrate is in such a big battle just to come for breakfast?

Not to mention that the common people think this way, even Yao Yu thinks the same way. Seeing Cheng Fangzhi getting closer and closer to him, Yao Yu almost blurted out, "Guest officer, what breakfast do you need?"

It's just that Cheng Fangzhi looked serious, and after walking up to Yao Yu, he said under everyone's gaze, "Mr. Yao."

Yao Yu looked at Cheng Fangzhi, but didn't realize it for a while. What is the magistrate doing?
The guests in the wing room on the second floor inevitably ran out, what is the magistrate doing with Mrs. Yao?

Seeing that Yao Yu ignored him, Cheng Fangzhi coughed a few times in embarrassment, and continued, "Yao's son, Xie Nuo, took the palace examination in April this year, and was handpicked by the current emperor to be the number one scholar. .”

The quiet atmosphere was instantly blasted, "The number one scholar?"

"Oh my god, not only is it the champion, but it's also three yuan! Three yuan!"

"What is three yuan?"

"It's the collective name of Jieyuan, Huiyuan, and Zhuangyuan. To put it bluntly, it means getting No.1 in the provincial examination, general examination, and palace examination!"

"what?"

"My God, this Yao family doesn't look too big, does it?"

"Yes, how old is her son?"

"It is said that this year is ten years old."

Who among the crowd swallowed his saliva, a nine-year-old child, unexpectedly became the No.
Yao Yu also came to his senses, and quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Prefect Cheng."

Cheng Fangzhi waved his hand, "Now Xie Xiuzhuan has been assigned to serve in the Imperial Academy. Time is urgent. This is a letter he entrusted."

Yao Yu took the letter, thanked him again, and asked the magistrate if he wanted to stay for breakfast, but Cheng Fangzhi said, "There are still many things in the government office, I have to go back and deal with them."

Yao Yu sent Cheng Fangzhi to the intersection before returning, and the shop was silent, as if everyone hadn't recovered from the shock just now.

Seeing the expressions of Aunt Wu and the others, Yao Yu picked up Nuoer's letter and said, "I'll go back first, and the shop will trouble you guys."

Yang Lan followed Yao Yu happily, "Auntie, go back quickly, the family will be happy if they know the news."

Aunt Wu also said, "Yes, sister, go back quickly." At the beginning, she thought that Nuo'er was amazing, but who would have thought that a nine-year-old child could go so far.It wasn't until Yao Yu was gone that Wang Fengzhen and Luo Shi still hadn't slowed down. The champion, how far away they were, now it came true, they felt like a dream.

Yao Yu told Mr. Ji about this happy event as soon as he got home, and Mr. Ji burst into tears.Knowing that Mr. Ji needed time to calm down, Yao Yu went back to the room and opened Nuo'er's letter. At some point, Nuo'er grew up. He still remembers how Yao Yu taught Nuo'er to write in the stove house in Shuangshui Village. In the blink of an eye, Nuo'er became the champion.

The letter was not long, but Yao Yu read it for a long, long time. Nuoer said that the current emperor praised him the first time he saw him, and Nuoer also felt very close to the current emperor. Yao Yu read this passage Goosebumps are about to arise, and they say that being with the king is like being with a tiger. Although she says her thinking is avant-garde, she will inevitably suffer from the poison of feudal thinking. If the emperor really gets angry one day, what will Nuoer do?

Nuo'er was the number one scholar handpicked by the emperor, and then Nuo'er was assigned to the Hanlin Academy as an editor, starting from a sixth-rank position. Nuo'er said that he would work hard and do a good job. Yao Yu nodded. He was only nine years old. Assuming an official career, he must be No. 1 in Ohara.

The last part is about Nuo'er's current life. Because she has to stay in the capital for a long time, coupled with Zhao Wensheng's unique businessman's vision, Nuo'er bought a three-entry courtyard in the capital and spent 4000 taels of silver. The 2000 taels that Pei An brought only cost more than 100 taels. Zhao Wensheng forced 2000 taels of silver to Xie Nuo when he came over, so now they still have more than 4000 taels of silver in their hands. Nuoer said that he is now receiving the imperial salary , Let Yao Yu stop worrying that he has no money to use, or if the house is free, he will come to the capital to have a look. Finally, Nuo'er asked Xie Zhimo how he is doing.
