Chapter 646 The icing on the cake
After Mu Qing brought the books and handed them to Xiao Wu, they all went home together in a bullock cart. During the leisure time on the road, Bai Yunxi also told him about the situation at home, especially the matter of Xiao Si raising ducks.

"Xiaosi put in a lot of thought this time, except for the first time there was some wear and tear, the second batch of ducklings gained experience, and the loss was much less. It seems that the experience has been explored."

Xiao Wu nodded, taking care of the cubs is much more difficult than reading and writing.

After returning home for a while, Xiao Wu had just washed up when Mrs. Zhang and Bai Yunshan came to the door with an old hen.
"Study is a waste of your brain. This is an old hen that I specially chose to nourish our scholar's body." Seeing Xiao Wu's spirited state, Mrs. Zhang praised with a smile.

"Thank you, Auntie Tang. In fact, reading is not so strenuous for me, and I don't need to make up for it."

"Look, Mr. Xiucai speaks differently. What you think is easy is difficult for others."

Mrs. Zhang scolded him, and handed the old hen to Mrs. Du who was next to her.
"Your mother-in-law has ginseng whiskers in her hands. When you stew the chicken, ask her for two. It will be a great tonic."

"Haha... What do you know, this is talent, God rewards me with food."

Bai Yunshan laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Wu's shoulder,
"Good job, give us the Bai clan a face."

The two talked for a while, then got up and left. Before leaving, they didn't forget to explain, and don't forget to say hello when preparing the banquet.

The whole family sat in the yard, and before they could say a few words, the old patriarch brought Bai Yunsong Zheng to the door.

Seeing the old patriarch appearing at the door leaning on crutches, Baiyunxi and the others hurriedly got up, welcomed them in, sat down, and poured tea.

Seeing Xiao Wu's energetic appearance, the old patriarch nodded in satisfaction,

"Okay, that's great. Xiao Wu has given the Bai family a good face. Hurry up and pick a day to go to the ancestral hall to pay respects to the ancestors."

Baiyunxi didn't object to this, as it was a local custom to worship the ancestral hall, she only needed to prepare the offerings, it didn't take much trouble.

"I'll prepare the offerings later, and then notify uncle."

The old patriarch nodded, "Okay, if there is anything you don't understand about the tribute, you can ask your sister-in-law, Mrs. Zheng has done so many times and has experience."

Hearing father-in-law's order, Mrs. Zheng looked at Baiyunxi with a smile, "That's right, her sister-in-law, don't be polite to me."

Saying that, he handed over the basket in his hand,
"Here are a few eggs, to nourish Xiao Wu's body, and to study hard, so he must eat something good."

Thinking about it really makes people's teeth sore, her son worked so hard, why didn't he get hit.A child student, who has been taking the exam for several years, is disappointed every time.

But this little Wu, unexpectedly won once without making any noise. Some people praised him as a good student for studying before, but she thought it was someone deliberately flattering her.

Hearing Zheng's sour tone, Baiyunxi smiled slightly, took the basket and handed it to Du,

"Thank you, Mrs. Lobby, the sauerkraut flavor at home just opened, and it tastes pretty good. I'll ask Mrs. Du to fish some for you to try. Especially the stewed fish, it's delicious."

"Really, let me try it, is it really as good as you said?" Zheng tried her best to smile, and she was so angry that she was dying.

Bai Yunxi looked at Zheng's trembling face, and said with a smile,
"Sister-in-law doesn't know, my eldest daughter-in-law, among other things, is really good at cooking and pickling pickles, especially her pickled vegetables, which taste the most authentic."

Listening to Bai Yunxi's tone, look at her serious eyes.

Zheng shi suppressed the anger in her heart, stared at her for a moment, didn't notice that she looked guilty at all, and then smiled sarcastically.

Before she could open her mouth, there was another hearty laughter at the door,

"I knew your daughter-in-law is good at cooking, so don't forget to get me two too. I tasted her cooking before, and my family's sauerkraut can't be tasted."

While speaking, Mrs. Song Wang walked in with a knife of meat,
"I don't take it for nothing, I exchange it with meat. Oh, what a coincidence, how many of your fathers are there?"

Seeing Mrs. Bai sitting in the yard, Song Wang greeted him politely. It was not surprising after thinking about it. No matter how uncomfortable he felt, he was also a relative on the surface. Fan.

Hearing Song Wang's teasing tone, Bai Yunxi gave her a rude look,
"Pfft~, there is no meat, as long as my sister-in-law tells me, can I miss your sauerkraut?"

"Haha... I know you are refreshing, my brother Jie came back earlier than Xiao Wu, and he told me as soon as he came back, Xiao Wu was not only selected as a scholar, but also the top of the case. No. 1, it is really enviable."

Mrs. Song Wang handed the meat to Mrs. Du, and he himself was not polite, and sat down directly next to him.

"My brother Jie also said that the dean of Qingyu Academy wants to accept Xiao Wu as a closed disciple. This kind of great good thing is even rarer than a pie in the sky."

As soon as Song Wang's words came out, the others looked at Baiyunxi in shock and confirmed the matter.

"I went to the college to pick up Xiaowu today, and I did meet the dean. He said that we would do the apprentice ceremony after school started. It was also his good fortune that Dean Bai took a fancy to Xiaowu."

Bai Yunxi didn't hide it either, she just nodded and admitted.

"It's not just good fortune, it's just a meteoric rise. My brother Jie said that Dean Zhang was born as a Jinshi, and he is very knowledgeable. Xiao Wu has such a mentor, and his future is bound to be bright."

Listening to the conversation between the two, the old patriarch tapped his pipe and narrowed his eyes.

"Xiao Wu is blessed. Since he has a famous teacher to guide him, he should study hard and strive to rise to the top as soon as possible. The rise of our Bai clan depends on you."

"Following the teachings of my grandfather, Xiao Wu must study hard. As for where he can go, the teacher said that if you work hard, you will not regret it."

"Okay, that's the reason." The old patriarch nodded, and what the great Confucian said must be correct.

Mrs. Zheng looked at the complacent expressions of Baiyunxi's family, and then thought about her Anbang, her eyes darkened.

Because Anbang lost the election, he was very irritable, and he would get angry at the slightest disappointment, and his daughter was quarreled and cried several times by him.

They are also heirs of the Bai family, Xiao Wu's luck is good, and her son's luck is not a little bit bad.

"I heard that Qingyu Academy is the most famous academy in the county?"

"It's not a problem to be famous, not to mention our county, even the surrounding counties combined, Qingyu Academy is also one of the few."

Listening to Zheng's inquiry, Song Wang directly stretched out his thumb, clicked his tongue,
"I heard from Jie Ge'er that many students around here come here for fame, so it's not bad."

"So good? Anyone can go in and study?" Mrs. Zheng asked eagerly, her eyes lit up as she listened.

"Of course not. If you want to enter Qingyu Academy, you must be a student or above. Before entering the school, you must participate in the selection of the college. The dean will personally write the questions. If you pass, you will stay. If you fail, you will not be paid."
