Rebirth of the little landlady

Chapter 248
Having finished what was to be said, Ni Yuze saw that Yuan Bao started to yawn, so he knew it was time for her to take a break, so he stood up and said, "Then let's go to see this painting master tomorrow, you have to behave well, If there are paintings that can be obtained, it would be best to bring one with you.”

Yuan Bao was very happy, "I'll take a nap later, and I'll draw a new one. If you have time, stay with me and give me pointers."

It took nearly four hours before and after dinner, and Ni Yuze and Yuan Bao completed a small painting. Both of them thought it was good, and they were full of confidence in their meeting tomorrow.

But they didn't make it.

The sun had just risen, and Yuan Bao, who had finished his morning exercise, was riding her bay red horse "Duo Duo" talking and laughing with Ni Yuze, but when he saw the greeting card, his face suddenly changed, and he stuffed the card into Ni Yuze's arms, and dialed The horse ran to the gate of the mansion.

Ni Yuze immediately ordered, "Send someone to follow and tell Miss to chase after Mr. Shi's mansion." He thought that Yuan Bao would react after seeing that post, but he didn't expect Yuan Bao's reaction to be so strong. Horsemanship is a little worrying.

Yuan Bao still learned how to ride a horse when he was at Ni’s house in Qing’an, and he also practiced it in Sujia Village for a while. There was no problem at all when riding a horse on the road. I was also afraid that the leg bones would be deformed, and besides, she always had a car, so there was no need to ride a horse in the wind and sun, so she just regarded this as a sport and skill, and practiced it when she had nothing to do.

Ni Yuze glanced at the three words "Su Qiusheng" on the signature of the post, his face was very calm, and then he took a bath and had breakfast alone.

Not long after Yuan Bao went out, he lost his target. The road was crowded with people, and Yuan Bao didn't dare to ride too fast. She didn't know which direction to go when she encountered a fork in the road, and she didn't even know what kind of carriage the other party was riding. Standing alone by the side of the road, with a dazed face, feeling empty and uncomfortable.

The sound of horseshoes came from behind, Yuan Bao's ten guards rushed up and brought Ni Yuze's orders, Yuan Bao was overjoyed and led his men to continue chasing him.With the direction and someone protecting her, Yuan Bao caught up with the carriage in a short time. She shouted, "Qiusheng, Su Qiusheng, wait for me!"

Hearing this shout at first, Su Qiusheng thought he had heard it wrong, but he didn't understand until the carriage stopped, and lifted the curtain to look out.

Today is the first day of the twelfth lunar month, and the wind is bitter, but Yuan Bao's white forehead is covered with dense drops of sweat. Duo Duo's tall body makes her even smaller, and her bright red riding suit is like a flower blooming against the morning sun. , and Duoduo's dark red fur complement each other, because Yuan Bao didn't even have time to put on her cloak because she came in such a hurry, but this made her look even more neat, and her flying hair and lively and pretty expression immediately dazzled Su Qiusheng. Eye.

Yuan Bao rolled over like a flame, laughing loudly, "Bad guy, you bad guy, let me see where you are going this time!" Such joy and carefreeness expressed her joy from the bottom of her heart.

Su Qiusheng was still in a daze, Yuan Bao jumped off the horse and quickly got into his carriage, then poked his head out of the window and said in a low voice, "Leave four people with me, and the rest can go back. "Looking at Su Qiusheng, "Oh, yes, I heard that you live in Mr. Shi Yuandao's house?" Seeing Su Qiusheng nodding, he continued to order, "Let Yanxi bring me two sets of clothes and daily necessities, and send them to me." Go to Mr. Shi's house." Finally he said, "Tell Young Master, I'm going to play outside for a few days."

Seeing that Yuan Bao had nothing to say, the guards sang in unison and took orders to leave.

After closing the car window and the curtain, the smile on Yuan Bao's face hadn't faded, she punched Su Qiusheng, "You bastard, what else are you posting? You should come to me directly when you come!"

Yuan Bao came too fast and too fast, and the series of behaviors after the meeting were completely different from Su Qiusheng's imagination, so that Su Qiusheng still hasn't recovered, but his long-term martial arts body has made it for him. Responding, he dodged Yuan Bao all at once, and said in a low voice, "Yuan Bao, how did you become like this?!"

"Ah?" Yuan Bao was taken aback, "What is it like?"

Su Qiusheng expressed himself very tactfully, "It's like Ranran!"

Su Qiusheng's answer caused Yuan Bao to burst into laughter again, "Don't you just call it a crazy girl? Besides, you can't say that I look like Ranran, if I do, then follow me!" The smile on his face faded, "I really want to see them, An'an and Ranran!" But she quickly adjusted her emotions, "However, I'm also very happy to see you." She couldn't remember how long it had been since she laughed so happily.

Su Qiusheng didn't expect Yuan Bao to be able to catch up like this, let alone Yuan Bao's life state. He had a lot to ask Yuan Bao, but he also felt like "how are you doing?" "Have you encountered any troubles?" There was no need to ask the question anymore, and in the end it just turned into one sentence, "Yuanbao, why don't you go home?"

Yuan Bao paused, "I still have some things to do, so I can't go back for now."

Su Qiusheng's complexion became ugly, he could see very clearly that the way Yuanbao assigned his subordinates just now was so casual, it was not at all like the Yuanbao that Su Chunsheng mentioned was controlled by others, and listening to Yuanbao's words, it was clearly an intention She lives outside, but she doesn't need anyone's approval. Even the Su sisters don't have such a degree of freedom!
Now that Yuan Bao has this kind of attitude again, Su Qiusheng can't help but think - is Yuan Bao unable to go back, or is he unwilling to go back? !

Yuan Bao had already ordered the car to be driven, and asked Su Qiusheng, "Have you eaten breakfast? I'm still hungry. I hurried over as soon as I saw your post after morning exercise." Seeing Su Qiusheng shaking his head, he immediately called for someone to come A place to dine.

Apart from the roadside stalls, the place to have breakfast is a teahouse. At this hour, restaurants are usually closed. Yuan Bao took Su Qiusheng to a large teahouse and reserved a private room, without asking Su Qiusheng.Instead, he ordered food by himself.

One after another breakfasts came up like flowing water, and the tables were filled with dazzling arrays, Su Qiusheng's face became more and more ugly, when did Yuan Bao become so extravagant? !
Yuan Bao enthusiastically prepared dishes, especially those unique snacks in Ningnan Prefecture, and explained while giving way, "This is delicious, it tastes similar to **, you will definitely like it, and this..." She used it as an example The dishes compared with each other were without exception Su Qiusheng's favorite, and there was no mistake, which made Su Qiusheng's expression calm down unknowingly.

Su Qiusheng had a big appetite, and Yuan Bao also ate a lot. Both of them ran all morning, so they were naturally hungry. Even so, they only ate [-]% of the food. It's just too much.

Seeing Su Qiusheng put down his chopsticks, Yuan Bao immediately asked Xiao Er to remove the things on the table, not to throw them away, but to move them outside for the servants to use, and explained to Su Qiusheng, "I see that all you brought are all Guards, they eat a lot, so they can’t make people hungry.” In the past, Ni Yuze had dozens of dishes for a meal, and most of them were served without moving. , Actually this is not the case, the first-class maids and personal servants always eat the same meals as the master, but they just wait for a while at another table, and those who are not on duty go to eat what the big kitchen prepares for them.

Su Qiusheng finally showed his first smile after seeing Yuan Bao, "You're still thoughtful."

Yuan Bao smiled, "I have seen a lot, and I have learned it anyway." This is the truth, she has been by Ni Yuze's side for a year and a half before she knew it, and how could she not be influenced by her behavior under the influence of her ears and eyes? , Ni Yuze was still sparing no effort to guide, Yuan Bao stuck out his tongue playfully, and joked, "I won't always be so stupid in your heart, right?"

Su Qiusheng felt bitter in his heart. Ever since he was a child, Yuan Bao had never been stupid?Now he is so smart that he can't understand things, in fact, he should be the one who is stupid!

Hearing Yuan Bao asked about the journey, he quickly collected his energy to answer them one by one.

Su Qiusheng's trip this time was not on a whim, so the arrangement was much better than when Su Chunsheng came last year. Not only did he bring the four guards Ni Yuze gave him last year, but he also brought four other long-term workers.

These long-term workers of the Su family were selected by Liang Pinzhengyou and signed a death contract. They are very safe and can work hard. Besides their horses, they also have two carriages. The road is very comfortable and they are not in a hurry. Hurry up, don't sleep in the open again.

After listening to Su Qiusheng's words, Yuan Bao's eyes were slightly red when he raised his head again. She really didn't know that Su Chunsheng suffered such a big crime when he was born last year. At that time, her heart was in a mess, and her relationship with Ni Yuze was not like it is now. She is as close as she is, somewhat scruples, and only briefly met Su Chunsheng twice. Now that she thinks about it, she should take a good look at Su Chunsheng again: is there any physical discomfort, is the clothes thick, and is there enough for the road? Yes, even letting him stay one more night can relieve the fatigue of the journey...

Seeing Yuan Bao's appearance, Su Qiusheng felt very uneasy, and said in a low voice, "I...I also told you to let me come here, but my husband said that I should go out to learn more, and my brother also thinks what my husband said is right, and my brother Er Yue I'm about to take the college exam and I'm very busy..."

This time, Su Qiusheng came to pick up the books.

Shi Yuandao loves books and has a lot of treasured books, some of which are orphans. Shi Yuandao had never met the Su family brothers before, so he didn't know their qualifications, let alone how long they would stay in Su's village, so he didn't bring them with him.

After a year of contact, Shi Yuandao has a very good impression of the Su family, and he has developed a love for talent, especially since Su Chengan is still so young. Shi Yuandao will at least live there for a long time, not to mention living in the Su family village. It was then that he decided to bring all his books there, so that not only would he be able to read them frequently, but it would also be a very precious resource for the Su brothers.

Brothers Chunsheng and Qiusheng couldn't leave home at the same time, and Yuanbao was in Ningnan Fucheng again. Now that Yuanbao clearly expressed his missing for Su Chunsheng, Su Qiusheng felt guilty because of this, so he should give up his little selfish desire to see Yuanbao and refuse , let Su Chunsheng come.

Su Qiusheng's appearance made Yuan Bao burst into tears, how could she not understand what Su Qiusheng meant, and said softly, "Then if Chunsheng comes and I miss you again, what will I do then?"

Su Qiusheng paused, staring at Yuan Bao without blinking, a little bit disbelieving what he heard, and Yuan Bao went on to say, "Actually, I miss not only you, but also An Ranran. It's been a long time since I left. , I still think about Qiaoqiao and mother, whether Qiaoqiao is more sensible, whether mother has caused trouble again, no matter how many letters I read, I still think about it."

Yuan Bao wrote a letter to Su Chunsheng every month. After getting along with Ni Yuze for a long time, Yuan Bao became less and less wary of him, and the letters he wrote to Su Chunsheng became longer and more detailed.

Yuan Bao was busy on weekdays and didn't have much time to write letters, so she carried the unfinished letter with her every day, and wrote a few strokes when she was free, all of which were daily trivial things that happened at that time, like a diary, or like a diary. The family members are by her side, and then wait until the first day of every month before sending out the letter, which is unshakeable.

"Oh." Su Qiusheng kept his expression on the surface, but the small flames that were jumping in his eyes dimmed. It seems that Yuan Bao's heart has not changed.

At this time, Yuan Bao said something else, "Chunsheng is going to take the exam, so you don't want to take the exam?"

"I..." Su Qiusheng's face turned red all of a sudden, "Master told me to take the exam in two years!"

Yuan Bao misunderstood Su Qiusheng's appearance. Yuan Bao still remembered that when she was at home at the beginning of last year, Su Qiusheng was crying because he lost the qualification to take an exam. ?! Why don’t you take the test? What does old man Shi mean? What’s wrong with not doing the work after collecting the money? No, I’ll send someone back right now, I have to ask you to understand!”

Su Qiusheng couldn't bear it anymore, and the gap between him and Yuan Bao disappeared in an instant, and he scolded, "Yuan Bao, how can you be so irritable? You utter bad words without even asking clearly. Mr. Shi is our husband, is it right?" Dear and respectable elder, if you disrespect him so much, I will never forgive you! You are growing up year after year, why are you still so unruly?!" It seems that you are more self-willed than when you were in Sujia Village. There is also a little more arrogance and domineering.

When Su Qiusheng said something, Yuan Bao shrank back in the chair, his big eyes blinking, but he couldn't think of a good way. If this was Su Chunsheng, she could still run over and act coquettishly or something, but she and Su Qiusheng's relationship was different, so this trick obviously couldn't be used.

However, Yuan Bao also discovered that Su Qiu has grown up, not only in height, but also in his whole body. Su Chunsheng once told her in a letter that Qiusheng can do a lot of things. It seems that what he said was true when he confidently handed over all the affairs of the village and family to Su Qiusheng.

"I... am I afraid that you will be bullied?" Seeing that Su Qiusheng had almost shouted, Yuan Bao explained in a low voice. Seeing that Su Qiusheng's face softened, he began to apologize again, "I will pay attention next time, and I will never hurt Shi again." You're being disrespectful, Mister." He argued lazily, "Actually, it's all Ni Yuze's fault. In Ningnan Mansion, he was the boss and my second child all day long. I got used to it after a while." Seeing that Su Qiusheng was about to get angry again, he quickly promised, "I will Change, I will definitely change, and I will learn the rules when I turn around, and I will not embarrass you again!" Nuo Nuo said, "You can let me go this time, and then tell me well, why didn't you take the exam? ?!"

Thinking that the reason why Yuan Bao behaved like this was because he cared about them, Su Qiusheng felt sour and sweet in his heart, and Yuan Bao's attitude of apologizing was so sincere, so he couldn't say anything else, so he simply told Yuan Bao about the matter in detail. A space-time imperial examination system.

Generally speaking, the imperial examination system of this dynasty is similar to that of the Ming Dynasty. The lowest level is divided into three levels: county examination, government examination, and courtyard examination. Those who pass these three levels are scholars. Among them, Su Chunsheng passed the first two levels , so he has the status of Tongsheng. In fact, as long as he has passed the county examination, he is a Tongsheng. After passing the government examination, there is no special name, it is just a ranking among Tongsheng.

In the eyes of real scholars, the county exam is extremely easy, so after Su Chunsheng passed the exam early last year, he didn't let Yuan Bao invite him to the banquet, for fear of being laughed at.

Su Qiusheng said, "Actually, my eldest brother missed one exam last year. He said the college exam was too stressful, so he decided not to go."

Yuan Bao didn't lose his temper this time, but he still asked seriously, "Why? Why didn't I know about this?" Could it be that Su Chunsheng was delayed because of the preparation of Sujia Village, then the loss outweighed the gain.

Although the name of the previous dynasty is still used, the "fushi" is still called "fushi", but in fact, our dynasty implements the four-level administrative division of town, county, state, and prefecture. The place of the government examination is the same as the county examination. It is in Qing'an County, because the state government of their state is in Qing'an County.

Yuan Bao has an impression of the state government office. She passed by there before, and it seems that when the queen mother gave her a reward, she also met the master Zhizhou, but since then, she has forgotten about this person. son.

Because it is the seat of the state government, Qing'an County is particularly large and prosperous, and it is very convenient for the students of this county to take the first two exams.

"No exam because of Lu Yuan?" Yuan Bao frowned, "At that time, our family was not short of money. We had all the cars and horses. Chunsheng shouldn't be like this!"

Su Qiusheng shook his head and said, "Of course not, brother wants to take the exam."

It turns out that scholars are divided into grades, from high to low, they are called "endowed students", "enriched students" and "epibiotics", and the salary is paid by the imperial court according to the level, which is food, but the lowest level of epiphytes is not paid. of.

Su Qiusheng said, "I didn't prepare well at the beginning. Although I passed the government examination, my ranking was not high. After discussing with the gentlemen of the county school, the gentlemen also felt that it would be better to wait another two years for the exam." There are two exams every three years, and the interval between them is not long. "It's not that our family is short of Lumi..."

Yuan Bao nodded vigorously, "I understand, I understand, I understand!" For face, fame, volunteers, ideals, who wants to make a career out of others, she fully understands and supports Su Chunsheng's choice!
