Dress up as a hot farm wife, take care of her cubs and raise her husband to farm

On the morning after the first provincial examination, Cheng Xue brought Li Tian and Li Huai over and stood at the same spot where he had picked up Li Hui.

Li Yue cooks at home, with chicken, duck, and fish, so you can get as much as you want.

Liaodong Prefecture did not hold the provincial examination last year, so you can imagine how lively the provincial examination will be this year. Several people gathered together to talk about the reform of the provincial examination and the general examination, and some predicted the results of this year's provincial examination.

While chatting, everyone talked about the Northern Prefecture, and naturally they also talked about the Northern Prefecture. Li Hui was from Liaodong, and everyone was very proud of him when he spoke about it.

The originally boring waiting process was a lot of time spent listening to their lively conversations.

"Tiedan Niang, do you still remember me?"

A warm and friendly voice came. Cheng Xue turned around and nodded with a smile.

"Why don't you know Uncle Du? Why don't you come to accompany Pingren to take the provincial examination?"

Uncle Du nodded and said with a smile:
  "He taught himself while teaching for two years, and wanted to give it another try. I wasn't worried about him being alone, so I followed him. How are you doing with the kid? Are you still adapting to the north? I've heard all about it. Huizi is really talented. Make a fortune."

Cheng Xue said without a humble "hmm":
  "We're doing fine. It's a lot colder over there in winter than here, so we have to wear more clothes. How are you feeling? Let me take your pulse."

"No, no, no, I'm in good health. Pingren is filial and takes me to see the doctor twice a year. Now I can withstand thirty kilograms of rice without any problem."

Seeing that his face was red and he was wearing plain satin clothes, he must be living a good life.

Li Tian had an impression of Old Man Du, but not Li Huai. He was still young at that time.

The old man looked at the two children carefully and couldn't help but sigh, "Time flies so fast."

"Where do you and Pingren live? Why don't you come home? We have a house here."

When Old Man Du heard this, he waved his hand and declined, saying:
  "No, it's very convenient for us to stay in the inn. The innkeeper even hired a doctor to treat these scholars. In the past few years, Pingren has taught and farmed, and we have some money in our hands, so our life is quite easy."

"That's it, that's okay, then I won't force it."

"You guys can come home after the exam. I have to thank you very much."

Old Man Du invited him sincerely, but it was a pity that Cheng Xue didn't have time.

While they were chatting, a familiar thick voice came, and soon the gate of Gongyuan opened from the inside.

Old Man Du stopped chatting and stared straight at the front door.

The originally lively discussion stopped abruptly at this moment. Everyone stared at Gongyuan with bated breath, waiting for the first person to come out of it.

Although this is only the first provincial examination, it was not held last year, so you can imagine how much everyone attaches importance to it.

The students came out one after another. Most of them looked pale and listless, and soon you could hear words such as "Don't squeeze" and "Don't push".

Du Pingren came out quickly, and Old Man Du waved to him fiercely without leaning forward.

When people approached, Old Man Du didn't need to give any orders. He solemnly cupped his fists and handed over his hands——

"I've met Aunt Li. We haven't seen each other for a few years. How are Aunt Li and Uncle Li doing?"

"Okay, we're all fine."

Du Pingren stood up straight, gently touched the tops of Li Tian and Li Huai's hair, and said:
  "Uncle Li sent a letter last time inviting Pingren to go to the north. At that time, Pingren couldn't leave. If Pingren succeeds this time, he will definitely go to the northern capital to join Uncle Li and make amends."

"You're being a heretic if you say that. Everyone has the right to choose their own future. It's true that you want to move to a higher level. Why should you apologize?" Cheng Xue quickly corrected him.

Even if there are no outsiders, you still have to be careful in everything to avoid being overheard and causing trouble.

Yan Yixin came out a quarter of an hour after the door opened, not too early or too late.

When he saw a few people standing high up, he immediately raised the corners of his mouth, walked down the steps energetically, and came this way.

"Mom, Brother Yixin is here."

Li Huai said, excitedly pointing to the people walking this way not far away.

Du Pingren waited for Yan Yixin to approach, slightly cupped his hands, and said:
  "Brother Yixin, you are well." Yan Yixin returned the greeting, "Brother Du, too. I have met the grandfather of the Du family."

"Hey, it's Yixin. I haven't seen this girl for a long time. She's really good at it. I heard your aunt said that you and Tangtang are engaged? Why did you drink before?"

Although Old Man Du felt a little unhappy, he must be able to cope with it. After all, marriage is about "you are willing to do what I want". If the woman does not want to marry them, it is not a gentleman's behavior to express anger at anyone.

Yan Yixin scratched his head in embarrassment, but still answered calmly:

"The wedding date is tentatively scheduled for after the Mid-Autumn Festival. We have no specific plans yet. We will wait until we finish the provincial examination. If the Du family's grandfather and Brother Du are free, they will set a date and send you an invitation."

"Okay, okay, I'll post it, I have to, we'll definitely go." Old Man Du agreed.

The two parties exchanged pleasantries for a while before waving goodbye.

Cheng Xue and others saw the third prince Yan Mu while walking around the alley. They wanted to nod and go home, but they didn't expect him to come over.

"I knew Mrs. Li would come. When did she get here?"

"A few days ago." Cheng Xue replied, "Have you had lunch, Third Master? What if you don't get home to eat? Let Yixin accompany you."

Yan Mu felt very much like agreeing, but then he thought about the extraordinary times now and could only reluctantly shake his head.

"Forget it, I'll bother you when I return to the northern city after the exam. If I go there now, it will affect him."

Cheng Xue heard the words and didn't force her. She felt blessed and went home with the children.

As soon as I entered the alley, I smelled the aroma of meat. The people living here are all students taking the scientific examination. The food in the past two days has been better than the others in the Geng family.

When he opened the door, the sour smell rushed into his nose. Yan Yixin took a greedy breath and yawned with satisfaction.

Although I have good physical strength, staying up late is really tiring.

"After eating, take a quick rest. We have to go again tomorrow."

"Yes, Yixin understands."

Cheng Xue grabbed his wrist and checked his pulse. Except for some strong anger, there was nothing wrong with him.

"Bai Wei, tell Bai Shao to make a soup of soothing the liver and nourishing the lungs for Young Master Yixin at night."

"Got it, ma'am."

"Go and wash up. After that, you can probably eat."

"Yes, Aunt."

After saying this, Yan Yixin saluted again before taking out his clothes.

After the door was closed, Li Huai leaned against his mother and asked:

"Mom, are you sure that Brother Yixin can pass the exam?"

"This is not making dumplings, who can say for sure." Cheng Xue answered conservatively, but she was still very confident about him.

He studied under Mr. Pang and stayed in the government office for half a year. This aspect should not be a problem for him.

Bai Shu went into the room and set up the Kang table, while Bai Shao brought all the food over and laid it out.

"Madam, the eldest lady has gone home. Shunxi has already brought the food. The eldest lady ordered the servant to tell the second lady to go home for dinner."

When Li Tian heard this, he bowed and left.

She has grown up and cannot eat at the same table with Brother Yixin like she did when she was a child.

When Yan Yixin came back and saw Cheng Xue and her son alone in the house, she took off her shoes and got on the kang as if nothing had happened, and distributed chopsticks...
