Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 420 Longing

Yuan Shan couldn't refuse, so she had to get up and go with Luo Yanxing. Song Ying quickly got some chicken, stewed it in boiling water, and tore it for Tangtang to eat.

Luo Yanxing also knew what Song Ying actually wanted to do when he asked to buy the duck in sauce. He chatted with the lady who bought the duck in sauce for a long time before slowly going back.

The food in the evening naturally made Tao and Yuan Shan smack their lips for a while. They felt that they were warm and hospitable, but also secretly felt that it was extravagant. When Tao and Yuan Shan were alone at night, they couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that the second richest people in Qinghua would be two little girls.

Living in such a nice house, eating well, and wearing good clothes, they are more respectable than many people in the city! These two girls are really capable! If you have half of their ability, I won’t worry about it. "

Yuan Shan originally agreed with her words, but when she heard that she was being compared later, she felt a little uncomfortable, "When my brother passes the exam, our family will definitely live better than theirs."

"That's right." Speaking of her grandson, Mrs. Tao narrowed her eyes with a smile, "When your brother passes the imperial examination, our family will be considered a farming and reading family; if he passes the imperial examination, we will be a scholarly family, and we will build a large courtyard with two entrances in the future!"

"Let's build a small building. I also want to live in it." Yuan Shan was full of anticipation.

Just now after dinner, she was curious and went to take a look at the small building where Song Ying and the others lived. She liked it very much immediately. It was a pity that it was night and she couldn’t see the scenery from the upstairs. She must have been able to see very far during the day!

Tao was in a good mood tonight and agreed immediately, "Okay, then we'll build a small building based on theirs."

"Let's build it bigger than theirs. Brother will be an official in the future, and the people he interacts with will be either rich or noble. Our house must also be grand to match his status."

"to make!"

……

After a good night's sleep, Song Ying woke up at the beginning of the morning hour again the next day. As usual, she got up and prepared to go to the river to read. When she came out of bed and was blown by the cold wind, she suddenly remembered what happened yesterday and became a little hesitant.

Especially since Tao and Yuan Shan still live here today, there is always a feeling of having a secret meeting with someone under the noses of other people's elders, which makes people feel particularly guilty.

How about not going today?

As the saying goes, if you walk by the river, you will get your feet wet. Although they acted honestly and nothing happened, it was just a coincidence that they chose the same place for morning reading.

But if someone discovers it, you will be accused of having a secret meeting and your reputation will be ruined.

While he was struggling, he heard Luo Yanxing on the other side of the screen mumbling, "What's wrong with you today? Do you want to stay in bed? Why don't you go to the river to recite your lessons?"

"Ah, no! I'm getting dressed!"

Song Ying responded, quickly put on her clothes and went out. Tangtang was already ready and squatting at the door waiting for her to open it.

As Song Ying opened the door and went out, he comforted himself. He had just finished the county exam yesterday, and Yuan Qing might have to take a good rest, so he wouldn't go for the next few days.

With this thought in mind, she walked out of the door and came to the river behind the willow forest. From afar, she heard Yuan Qing reciting "Mencius".

Song Ying: “…”

He just finished the county exam yesterday, why is he still here to study today? He is so diligent!

At least we can wait until the group case is released the day after tomorrow, right?

Listening to the sound of reading, she felt extremely guilty when she thought about how Yuan Shan almost discovered her secret yesterday. She hesitated for a moment and dared not move forward.

Tangtang ran straight over and soon heard Yuan Qing's voice, "Here you are, where is your master?"

Song Ying had no choice but to walk over and said, "Why are you here today? You are too diligent. You just finished the exam, at least take a break."

"I'm used to it. I feel uncomfortable if I don't come here to read." Yuan Qing replied, and pointed to a small puddle not far away and said, "I'm lucky today. I just caught a big fish."

Song Ying ran over to see, and sure enough, there was a huge jump. Tangtang was already happily playing with the fish in the small puddle, and the fish was frightened so much that it swam away with its tail flapping.

"Hey, it's a carp! This is a good sign. It means you have passed the exam!"

"I fished it out. If it's a sign, shouldn't it be that I'm being targeted and am about to become someone's food?"

"Ah?" Song Ying was a little dumbfounded, "This..."

Yuan Qing chuckled, "I'm just kidding. I have almost passed the entrance exam for Tongsheng."

Song Ying blinked his eyes. "How come you have already passed the county exam and become a Tongsheng? Don't you have to pass the prefectural exam to be considered a Tongsheng?"

She couldn't help but wonder if Yuan Qing had witnessed the difficulty of the county exam yesterday and felt it was very easy, which was why he was so confident.

But didn’t the candidates yesterday say that this time was difficult?

Yuan Qing smiled slightly and said, "The county and prefectural examinations are open-ended. Half of the test depends on real talent and knowledge, and the other half depends on social skills. I thought about how to answer the Four Books question yesterday, so I should have no problem passing the county exam.

And I didn't memorize the essay of the previous champion yesterday, which not only saved the reputation of Prefect Shen, but also helped Shen Jing get rid of his dislike. Prefect Shen will naturally remember my kindness, and if my essay is of acceptable quality, he will definitely choose me."

Song Ying: "...Can you think that far ahead in the examination room?"

Shouldn't you concentrate on solving the questions and writing the test papers during the exam? Why is he planning for the provincial exam?

Moreover, I am so confident that the level of my writing is good enough to pass the provincial examination. It is said that the provincial examination is the most difficult of the three levels. Many students are stuck at this level and have taken the exam year after year.

Yuan Qing smiled again and said modestly: "It's just a county exam, three questions in one day, I have plenty of time, so I thought more about it."

Song Ying was still shocked. He was still thinking long-term as always!

Not sure if it was a good sign, but several big fish were caught next. Yuan Qing decided to give the rest to Tao so that she could take it back home for her family to eat.

When it was time to leave as usual, the two naturally staggered their departure times. Song Ying went back first, and Yuan Qing then carried the fish to find their home.

When they got home, Luo Yanxing and the others were already up and preparing breakfast. Seeing Song Ying coming back, Tao was very surprised: "Where did you go so early in the morning?"

She thought Song Ying was still sleeping. Although she thought he was too lazy, she couldn't say much since this was someone else's home.

"She goes to the river to recite her lessons. She goes there every day except when it rains." Luo Yanxing said as he quickly served the meal.

Tao couldn't help but be surprised: "The doctor is also so hardworking."

"We are curing illnesses and saving lives. Using the wrong medicine can kill people, so we have to be very careful."

"No wonder you are such a good doctor. Even the county magistrate's wife asked you to treat her illness. Just because of your diligence, we can rest assured to ask you to treat us!" Tao praised, "You should open a clinic in the future. We will go to you whenever we have a headache or fever."
