The news of Xiao Yuanming's Zhongju spread, and instantly became the focus of discussion among everyone in Dahe Village.

This also caused Feng to hear people talking about him wherever he went.

The old lady was not happy.

Others praised Xiao Yuanming for being smart, and he became a master at a young age.

The old lady: "Haven't you seen the handwriting written by my son-in-law? It's better than the handwriting on the Spring Festival couplets sold in the town."

Others said that Xiao Yuanming was going to be a high-ranking official in the future, and only a lady like Miss Liu was worthy of him.

The old lady: "Have you ever seen someone more handsome than my son-in-law? Apart from him, there is no one who can match my Bao'er."

others say...

The old lady: "My son-in-law is still filial, he never hides anything, and treats our family with all his heart."

others say...

The old lady: "I don't know what my son-in-law grew up on. He is sensible and hardworking. It's not my bragging. No one in this town can compare to my son-in-law."

Others... others can't go on.

"Your son-in-law is so good, why don't you let him go to the Juren examination?" A woman said angrily.

"That's right, if you really pass the exam, you can still pick up a good mother-in-law."

Feng's bragging got carried away, and he opened his mouth with big words: "What's the point of raising people? My son-in-law is going to take the exam, and he will come back with the number one."

"Then you should ask him to take the exam, and let us see what the number one scholar looks like."

"That's right, what's the use of just blowing, and you're not afraid of breaking the cowhide."

"Just take the exam. Don't be envious of my mother's son-in-law who has won the first prize." Feng raised his chin and let out a series of hums from his nose, as if his son-in-law had already passed the exam.

Some people couldn't listen anymore: "Oh, do you think that being the number one scholar is as easy as growing Chinese cabbage? No matter how good the handwriting is, what's the use of it? People have to make articles, otherwise, who would spend money to study in an academy and grow Chinese cabbage at home? Is it enough to practice your handwriting?"

Feng really doesn't know what the exam is about, but she knows that Xiao Yuanming has been studying in the town before: "Who said my son-in-law won't go to school, let him go tomorrow."

……

"That's how things are." Feng looked like a child who did something wrong, with his head down, not daring to look at Lin Baobao.

When the old lady came back, she said that she had caused trouble. Baobao Lin thought it was something important, and then became nervous, but she didn't expect that she was bragging too much outside and didn't know how to end it.

Lin Baobao, who accidentally learned that Gu Shi was saving money to study for the imperial examination: ...

Seeing that she didn't speak, Feng's heart became even more disturbed, and said in a whisper: "This time I really don't blame mother, they kept praising that surname Xiao, mother couldn't stand it anymore, and in the end the one who talked too quickly..."

"Yaomei, don't talk about your mother, even if I'm there, I can't help it. What do you mean that only Ms. Liu is worthy of him, Xiao Yuanming? I'm not talking about you..." Zhou didn't dare to continue in the middle of her sentence.

If the Lin family hated anything the most, it was natural that some people said that Baobao Lin was not good enough for Xiao Yuanming.

In their view, their (daughter) Yaomei is the best girl in the world.

Even if they are forced to work, it cannot be refuted!

There is no such thing as her being unworthy of others, only others being unworthy of her.

Zhou's analysis can be regarded as stabbing a hornet's nest.

In fact, the old lady simply couldn't understand everyone's praise of Xiao Yuanming, and she didn't hear the meaning at all at the time, but it didn't prevent her from being very angry now, and felt that she had done nothing wrong.

"Let's let my brother-in-law take the exam, and when he comes back with a champion, we'll see how we slap those people in the face." Lin Sanlang had a bad temper, and he clenched his fists while speaking.

Lin Dalang also said: "The third brother is right, isn't he just a juren, what's so special about it."

Each of the brothers said one sentence, with the same meaning inside and outside the words, and asked Gu Shi to take the No. [-] examination.

Lin Baobao reminded faintly: "Reading is expensive."

Yes, studying requires money, but their family doesn't have any!
Everyone was in trouble, and after a while, Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Bao'er, don't make new clothes for me and your father in the future, and save your money for your son-in-law to study."

Lin Silang: "Why don't our family stop eating meat?"

Lin Erlang: "Let's open up more wasteland."

Lin Baobao coughed lightly: "Since everyone says so, let him take the test, but don't worry, if the clothes are made, there will be meat."

Open up more wasteland, this can be done.

When everyone heard what she said, they were instantly motivated.

Er Niu suddenly interjected, "Isn't it necessary to read a lot of books to be the number one scholar?"

Everyone in the Lin family: ...

Gu Shi came back late at noon, and as soon as he entered the yard, he met a pair of glowing eyes.

Gu Shi: ...he really has no money.

"Oh, son-in-law, you've worked hard, why are you so busy that you don't come back until now." Feng walked over and affectionately took the hoe in his hand.

Er Niu brought a basin of water at the right time: "Little uncle, wash your hands."

When the whole family sat down at the table, Da Mao had already served him a meal. Lin Dalang and the others, who were only focused on showing off the meal as soon as they got up the table, were not in a hurry to eat, and brought him food one after another.

"Look at you brother-in-law, you are skinny, eat more."

"Yes, yes, eat more, eat fat, and make sure to keep your body strong."

Seeing the piling up of vegetables in front of him, Gu Shi suddenly became a little nervous. He looked at Baobao Lin next to him, trying to see something on Baobao Lin's face.

Lin Baobao suppressed a smile and blinked at him: "Look at what I am doing, eat quickly."

Gu Shi pursed his lips, and as soon as he picked up the chopsticks, Feng Shi asked Zhao Shi to bring a bowl of steamed eggs and put it in front of him, saying that it was specially made to nourish his body, not even Lin Baobao.

Gu Shi really couldn't bear it now, he showed courtesy for nothing, raped or stolen, he didn't believe that there is nothing good without a reason in the world.

"Mother, you are..."

Feng did not wait for him to finish, heaved a long sigh, and explained the family's decision with an apologetic face.

"Son-in-law, we also know that studying is hard, but they look down on people too much. As a human being, if you don't fight for steamed buns, you will understand us, right?"

Gu Shi suspected that he had heard it wrong, and was stunned on the spot for a long time, unable to react.

Seeing him like this, everyone in the Lin family thought he was frightened and foolish, and they all spoke up to cheer him up, "I believe you will be able to do it", "You are so smart, it is not easy to be the champion", "Don't be afraid, we are your most solid backing ".

This child is not frightened and stupid, he should be happy and stupid, right?
Lin Baobao stopped laughing, followed the example of others, and said solemnly: "Come on, whether I can be the number one lady depends on you."

"Yaomei has become the number one lady, then I will be the number one brother? Then what kind of land will I be planting, and I will lie down and count the money every day."

"Then I'm still the number one scholar-in-law..."

Or the biggest advantage of the Lin family is their big heart. The money for studying has not yet been settled, and each of them is already fantasizing about the glorious days after Gu Shi became the number one scholar.

As for Gu Shi, the person involved, he didn't even have a chance to interrupt.

Lin Baobao tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "That's what the number one scholar said. Don't put too much pressure on you."

After speaking, he wanted to take his hand back, but he was grabbed.

Feeling the other party's hand trembling slightly, Lin Baobao was taken aback.

No one noticed the small movements of the husband and wife, and the family was talking vigorously, when the sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded outside the courtyard.

After the sound of the horse's hooves stopped, there was a woman's voice: "Xiaoliu of the Lin family lives here."

The courtyard door was not closed, and everyone turned their heads to look, and saw a very beautiful woman stepping down from the carriage.

small theater:
Everyone in the Lin family: For us, you should work harder to study.

Gu Shi: ...

Lin Baobao: Surprised or not, not surprised.
