Rebirth of the little landlady

Chapter 159 A 14-year-old Tong Sheng
Without Yuan Bao asking, Caixiu opened his mouth and said, "When we came back last night, our master was carried in by brother Shanxi, which shocked us all, but brother Shanxi didn't say anything. Said, just urging to change clothes quickly, we dare not ask."

"But as soon as the master entered the house, he closed the door and refused to open it. The people in the yard dared not sleep. They were so anxious that they didn't know what to do. After finally waiting until midnight, the servants had the courage to barge in. , I found that my grandfather was sitting on the ground and fell asleep, leaning against Miss Yuan Bao's bed behind him, and the clothes on his body had already been dried with his body..."

Although Caixiu's voice was low, she articulated clearly, and the words and sentences came out very smoothly. Although she didn't say a word to criticize Yuan Bao, her tone and demeanor all expressed her worry and resentment to the fullest. , coupled with Caiyun's resentful little eyes, made Yuan Bao feel that he was the executioner who killed Ni Xiaopang's children's shoes!

Yuan Bao didn't want to listen anymore, so he interrupted Caixiu, "What did the second master and the old master say?!"

Caixiu was so angry that her eyes were red this time, "Master, please tell me that nothing about the yard should be spread, especially about Miss Yuan Bao, if any word gets out, you will end up being beaten to death with a stick. Even if Grandpa is sick like this, Brother Shanxi also quietly went outside the mansion to find a doctor to come and see, when someone asked, he only said that Grandpa was drunk and caught a cold last night..."

"Did you take any medicine? Did you see you well?" Yuan Bao's impatience became more obvious. Isn't this Ni Xiaopang just looking for something to do? !

"In the middle of the night, the doctor invited by brother Shanxi boiled the medicine and drank it, but the kung fu became more and more serious during the time of boiling the medicine. It seems that it is not a problem. It is not yet dawn Shanxi Brother just left, saying he was going to figure out a way, no, the girl is here..." Caixiu was blocked twice, and she closed her mouth resentfully, these words were said by Caiyun.

Yuan Bao caressed her forehead, could it be that she is a doctor?He ordered in his mouth, "Bring two jars of strong wine and wipe him off."

"No way," Caixiu hastily stopped him, "I don't like to wait close to you, you can't stay in the room even at night..."

"I'll take care of things, you just go." Yuan Bao's tone was very tough.

A servant girl brought breakfast and medicine.

Caiyun and Caixiu looked at Yuanbao in embarrassment.

Yuan Bao stopped talking nonsense, and directly stepped forward to slap Ni Xiaopang on the face, because he was angry, so he would not take it lightly, "Ni Xiaopang, get up, it's time to eat!"

Caiyun and Caifeng grinned when they heard the "popping" sound, Caiyun couldn't help it, and stepped forward and said, "Miss Yuanbao..." I don't know if they want to blame, or they are going to do it themselves.

At this moment, Ni Xiaopang opened his eyes and called out, "Yuanbao..."

Yuan Bao let out a "hum" from his nose, and when he saw that he was awake, he went to serve the porridge, and when he saw the two Cai's dumbfounded expressions, he directly ordered, "Help him up!"

Ni Xiaopang's eyes were closed again, and he muttered, "I'm dreaming again..."

Yuan Bao pretended not to hear, "Ni Xiaopang, open your mouth, eat quickly..." But he still carefully tested the temperature of the porridge, which made the two Cai feel relieved.

Ni Xiaopang was really sick and confused, but for some reason, he obediently followed Yuan Bao's instructions. In this way, Yuan Bao fed him porridge and medicine smoothly, and helped him He rinsed his mouth.

The wine had already been brought over, but Yuan Bao didn't want to do this job by herself, she didn't even want to look at it.

Yuan Bao jumped onto the bed where she used to sleep, and after lowering the curtain, he ordered, "You guys wipe his body!"

The two Cai looked at each other with complicated expressions. In their eyes, Ni Xiaopang was like dough in Yuan Bao's hands. Letting Yuan Bao round and flatten it was too...too what?They really can't describe the feeling.It's no use talking too much, it's better for them to wait on them.

As soon as he lifted some of the quilt and untied Ni Xiaopang's pajamas, Ni Xiaopang yelled vaguely, "Yuanbao..."

The two Cai were frightened, and they both went to look at Yuan Bao on the bed, but unfortunately they couldn't see anything because they were blocked by the curtain, because Yuan Bao didn't hear Ni Xiaopang's cry because of the distance.

Just when the two Cai were at a loss, Ni Xiaopang yelled again, "Yuanbao!" This time the voice was very loud, and because of the hoarseness of the illness, it was a little shrill.

Yuan Bao heard it, but didn't even lift the curtain, and asked crisply, "What are you doing?!"

After asking, Yuan Bao listened carefully, but didn't hear what Ni Xiaopang said, so he just lay down with his clothes on.

Yuan Bao didn't hear it, but the two Cai in front of Ni Xiaopang heard it. Ni Xiaopang first smirked twice, and then muttered softly, "It's okay, it's okay..."

The two Cai breathed a sigh of relief, and continued with the movements in their hands. Because Ni Xiaopang performed very well, their task was quickly completed.

After helping Ni Xiaopang tidy up, they walked to Yuan Bao's bed and asked in a low voice, "Miss Yuan Bao, what should we do now?" When I got up, the panic and fuss of the whole night disappeared, and my father was even more different from the past. Although my father was a good waiter on weekdays, he was definitely not so easy to approach.

Yuan Bao said through the curtain, "Stay on guard, and call me if you need something."

Yuan Bao was very tired after running around all morning, and her bed in Ni Xiaopang's room hadn't moved at all, and it was exactly the same as when she left. In fact, it was not only her bed, but also Ni's bed. She didn't notice any changes in Xiaopang's room or the entire Leisurely Pavilion, so Yuan Bao fell asleep under the dual effects of the familiar environment and fatigue.

When the curtain moved, Yuan Bao, who had not slept deeply, woke up. When he opened his eyes, he was facing Ni Xiaopang's glowing red face. Without even thinking about it, he stretched out his hand and slapped Ni Xiaopang on the forehead. on, "what are you doing?"

Ni Xiaopang immediately fell on Yuan Bao's bed, "Oh, it hurts so much——"

"Stop making trouble, I don't use any strength at all!" Yuan Bao said, and quickly covered Ni Xiaopang, who was only wearing unlined clothes, with a quilt.

Ni Xiaopang raised his head miserably, "Head...a headache, it hurts when you didn't hit it, and it hurts even more after you hit it."

Yuan Bao knew that Ni Xiaopang was not lying, that headache was one of the symptoms of a cold, and when her hand touched Ni Xiaopang's skin just now, she found that Ni Xiaopang's fever did not go down, but the temperature dropped a little.

"Then why don't you just lie down and run around?" Yuan Bao got up and asked angrily.

"I... didn't I just look at you, I'm afraid, I'm afraid you didn't come at all, I just figured it out on my own." Ni Xiaopang first smiled, then grinned , held his head and cried, "It hurts so much..." At the same time, he peeked at Yuan Bao out of the corner of his eye, for fear that Yuan Bao would drive him back to his bed again.

Yuan Bao got out of bed, hung up the curtain again, and then took care of Ni Xiaopang to lie down, "I know it hurts? Then why are you still making such a fuss? In the end, you are not the one who suffers?" She rubbed her head, but she didn't mind that Xiaopang Ni was on that bed, anyway, she didn't plan to sleep in this bed anymore, she could only settle the matter well, and never enter Ni's house again.

"I..." Ni Xiaopang asked directly after thinking for a while, "Yuan Bao, are you not angry with me anymore? Are you willing to see me? So you didn't let me find you because you wanted to come back. Why didn't you come back sooner?" What do you say?"

"Stop!" Yuan Bao said, "I didn't want to come back. I just came to see you today when I heard that you were sick. But it's just this one time. I don't want to come again in the future." Give Ni Xiaopang this kind of "evil way", otherwise, what can Ni Xiaopang do if he has nothing to do?
Yuan Bao pressed Ni Xiaopang, who was struggling to get up, and continued, "You should go to me. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it later." He tapped Ni Xiaopang's forehead, "But you have to take care of yourself before you die." Go find me, or you can't give An Anran the anger of your illness."

Ni Xiaopang heaved a long sigh of relief first, and he knew, how could Yuan Bao ignore him so cruelly?It's just that it took a little longer to calm down this time. Then, after listening to Yuan Bao's words, Ni Xiaopang raised his hand and covered his mouth, "I can't let you go! I've written down everything you said."

This is Yuan Bao's purpose. Presumably with such "coercion and lure", Ni Xiaopang will be able to recover from her illness, and her task for today will be completed.

In fact, Yuan Bao still has a lot to say to Ni Xiaopang, but Ni Xiaopang is like this, she can't bear to say anything else, besides, she should bear the main responsibility for Ni Xiaopang's illness, so He didn't say anything more, just sighed secretly.

Ni Xiaopang closed his eyes and enjoyed it quietly, as if he had returned to the last time he was drunk... At that time, Yuan Bao was still by his side, everything was so beautiful, no, how could Ni Xiaopang let Will this hard-won happiness be lost again?He can't do it!
Therefore, Ni Xiaopang no longer feels guilty about the things he did behind Yuanbao's back.

Taking care of Ni Xiaopang again for lunch and medicine, Yuan Bao went back straight away. Although she didn't even eat breakfast, she didn't even drink saliva in Ni Mansion, let alone eat lunch. I don't want to stay longer!
From then on, Yuan Bao set a rule for Ni Xiaopang to come to Su's Village every half a month, and Ni Xiaopang followed it honestly. Occasionally having a meal at Su's was the greatest reward for him. .

The content of their conversations when they were together was nothing more than some matters in the mansion, and Yuan Bao found that Ni Xiaopang needed her to make up fewer and fewer things.But Ni Xiaopang still came as usual, without any other requests or actions, the relationship between the two seemed to have returned to the initial stage of acquaintance.

Yuan Bao felt that if this was the case, she didn't really have to cut off contact with Ni Xiaopang. After all, Ni Xiaopang was the lubricant between her and the Ni Mansion, and it would also allow her to live a free and happy life with another layer of protection. .

At the same time, Yuan Bao also heaved a sigh of relief, feeling that in the past, whether it was her or the Su Brothers, she really thought too much, but Ni Xiaopang was actually very simple and didn't have too many thoughts.

The peaceful days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, most of March passed, because all the wasteland Yuanbao bought was rented out before the Chinese New Year, so the stones in the field had already been picked up, and Yuanbao bought more than 20 cows with a large sum of money. , The efficiency of farming has been improved a lot at once. Among other things, the land has been plowed before the spring planting, so that the seeds can be sown on time.

And at this moment, another piece of good news came back: Su Chunsheng passed the Tongsheng exam!
"Not bad, it seems that you are not far from being a scholar!" Yuan Bao said happily, planning to hold a big banquet. She never thought that Su Chunsheng could not miss his studies under such a complicated family situation. It is really gratifying to congratulate!
Su Chunsheng stopped him and said, "Let's forget it. I'm just trying it out this time. I didn't take it to heart at all. Besides, I'm just a child. Don't make people laugh for nothing."

Yuan Bao glanced at Su Qiusheng who was silent at the side, and gave up.

Yuan Bao didn't know until now that Class A and Class Three of the county school were not eligible for the final exam, only students in Class A and Class A and II were eligible. No wonder Su Qiusheng was so disappointed when he failed the year-end exam. Now only Su Chunsheng went to participate, one can imagine Su Qiusheng's mood, but fortunately, Su Qiusheng is still young, so there are plenty of opportunities.

This overhead dynasty is similar to the Ming Dynasty in Yuanbao's impression in terms of living habits and other aspects, including the imperial examination system.

According to her own ideas, Yuan Bao divided the various stages of the scientific examinations she had seen so far into categories: the village school is equivalent to elementary school, the county school is equivalent to middle school, and the child students are probably the middle school graduation exam. It is not too difficult. As for Xiucai is almost a college entrance examination, and it is said that scholarly talents are divided into grades. Yuan Bao regards these grades as junior colleges and undergraduates.

Yuan Bao thinks that juren is equivalent to a civil servant, because he has the qualifications to be an official. However, this kind of "juren civil servant" in this life is obviously more difficult to test. There are only a few hundred in the whole country, which is too small. Fortunately, Yuan Bao didn't expect the two brothers to pass the exam, and her request was always clear: as long as she was admitted as a scholar, that's fine!
"Then don't do it," Yuan Bao said with a smile, "but this is a happy thing after all, let's enjoy it as a family, right?"

Su Chunsheng thought about it, and agreed. After all, his achievements are not his alone. Among them, Yuan Bao paid more than him, so he has the right to ask for congratulations.

Having said that, on that day, there were still quite a few people who came.

Su Chunsheng is 14 years old this year, and 14-year-old Tongsheng is really nothing in the county school. According to the county annals of Qing'an County, the youngest Tongsheng who has been here is nine years old. Su Chunsheng's low-key reason is very good.

However, don't forget that both Sujia Village and Xiejiao Village are very young villages. In this era, there are so few people who have the opportunity to receive education. The two villages add up to a population of about [-], and only Lizheng and The master and two scholars in the school.

Among them, the masters in the school are still from outside. Strictly speaking, so far, the only scholars in the two villages are the scholar Lizheng and the boy student Su Chunsheng. How could it be possible that they are not valued by everyone?
Looking at the waves of people who came to congratulate, the scale of the Su family's banquet has expanded and expanded. If there are not enough items in the house and enough people, it must be ugly.

"Let's see," Yuan Bao said, "Fortunately, I prepared well. Otherwise, everyone would say that our family is stingy. After such a big happy event, we didn't even prepare meals!"

Su Chunsheng waved his hand first, "Actually, they are all looking at your face," nodded again, "You still want to be considerate." No matter what the reason is, he has to admit that today's matter was handled fairly Shun Shun, it would be embarrassing if there was no preparation at all.

Su Chunsheng was very tired after being greeted and sent off in the past few days, especially today, he drank a lot of wine, so after saying a few words, he went back to the room to rest.

Here, Yuan Bao stopped Su Qiusheng, "I don't know how many acres of land this talent can exempt from tax? I'm afraid three thousand acres is not enough?" She deliberately acted like a curious baby.

Su Qiusheng immediately said, "Don't worry, Yuan Bao, when I pass the Juren exam, no matter how many acres of land you have, you won't have to pay taxes." He rubbed the back of his head, "However, I'm afraid I won't pass the exam within five years." Got it!" The wasteland itself has a five-year tax holiday.

"Hahaha..." Yuan Bao laughed, "I'm not that greedy. I can avoid that an acre is an acre. I think that as long as you all pass the exam, I will be very satisfied. Three scholars, Our family's land is about the same!" She also counted Su Chengan.

Su Qiusheng's eyes widened and he said, "Yuan Bao, you don't believe me?" He looked insulted.

Yuan Bao waved his hands again and again, "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I haven't thought about it that much!" She mentioned this at this time just to let Su Qiusheng not lose his fighting spirit. Too little, but too much. In this case, Yuan Bao really has nothing to worry about.

After a short rest and celebration, the life of the Su family seemed to return to normal.But that's just the surface.Yuan Bao could tell that many people, especially the people in Sujia Village, had changed their minds. Whenever Su Chunsheng's fame, which was not considered fame at all, was mentioned, his face was full of pride. There was even a little bit of fear in it, as if because of Su Chunsheng's achievements, the whole village could rely on it.

Hehe, Yuan Bao thought to himself, it turns out that taking part in the scientific examination has such unexpected benefits, no wonder everyone wants to be an official!

Yuan Bao thought of it, found it, and after laughing for a while, he forgot it, but he didn't expect that some people couldn't forget it in their hearts, and because of this, they came up with other ideas.

At the beginning of the establishment of Sujia Village, including now, it has brought a lot of benefits to Xiejiao Village. The refugees need food and shelter, and need all kinds of help. This kind of paid helper is none other than their neighbor Xiejiao Village.
