Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 16

"Buy some candy sweet mouths for the dolls, and they will call me sister in vain." Xia Junyan took out another small cloth bag filled with copper coins and handed it to Aunt An, paying back the vegetable money on credit last time.

As soon as Mrs. An picked it up, she knew that there was about fifty Wen coins in it.

"I heard from your Uncle An that although the strong man spends a lot of money, don't be too..." Mrs. An hesitated. The boss found out that we can't do this kind of conscienceless thing.

Xia Junyan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, ma'am, I know what I know. I will tell the strong man how to use every sum of money."

Seeing her reassurance, Mrs. An stopped talking, and instead mentioned an incident in the village this afternoon.

"The Cheng family started showing girls to her kid Zhang Luo." Mrs. An sneered, "It's only been a few days and I can't stand it any longer. Look at her posture, her son is sure to be a talent. Our village I don’t look down on any of them, and I just stare at the pretty ladies in the town. No matter what, their family, Cheng Yuan, must be the most promising in our village!"

"Wouldn't it be a few months before the third round of the competition, you know you can pass it now?"

Xia Junyan didn't want to have anything to do with Cheng Yuan and Li Shi at all.It's better for Cheng Yuan to get married as soon as possible, lest they always appear in front of her with the appearance of being persecuted and paranoid, and she can't help but want to go up and slap them!
But Cheng Yuan is only Tongsheng now, and Tongsheng was not considered famous in ancient times.Only when you are a scholar can you have fame and enjoy the various privileges of a scholar.The Cheng family can be regarded as a wealthy family in the village, but the girls in the town probably look down on him.

"I heard that because of the help of noble people, I have long stopped paying attention to mere talents." Aunt An's tone was a little unfriendly.She also has a son who is studying, but the most talked about in the village is how smart Cheng Yuan is. He has passed two rounds of the child's entrance exam, and he passed the exam once.But Cheng Yuan is a few years older than her son, so it doesn't matter if she is admitted as a scholar first, but she just can't get used to Li's proud face, she can't wait to brag that her son is the only one in the world who can read, Others are all idiots!

"It's all about nothing." Xia Junyan didn't take it to heart, "He can marry whoever he likes, and I have nothing to do with him."

Thinking about this, it is better to think about what delicious food to make for the strong man tomorrow when you go up the mountain.Guaranteed that the big brother of the strong man is happy to eat, and his wages have been raised again!
After returning home, Xia Junyan put away the pens and papers she bought one by one, and began to seriously consider the dishes.
