The skilled widow is busy farming

Chapter 90 Harvest
This year went very smoothly and lively, and there was a letter from the capital. Brother Heng couldn't come back. He couldn't always ask for leave, and Zhou Yi didn't let him come back.

Li Heng has married a girl from the Zhang family, but the wedding date has not yet come. He has to wait until the spring of next year to do it, so he and Li Jing can do it together. Then they will come back to worship their ancestors, and both parties will have a wedding banquet.

The Zhang family is also a reputable family in the capital, so they will definitely hold a wedding banquet.

Li Heng's yard is basically finished. All the furniture and decorations were done by the Zhang family. This yard is a three-in-one house. It wasn't too bad when I bought it. The garden is in good condition. It just needs a little rest. The Zhang family invites Someone will take care of it.

The Zhang family likes Li Heng's son-in-law very much. He is down-to-earth, sincere and humble. He speaks only when he is sure of his work and never talks too much. The Zhang family father and son take him with him to teach him and give him advice.

Li Heng and the Zhang family sent a boatload of gifts to the Li family. They will spend the Chinese New Year in the capital this year, with the Zhang family and the Zhou family running around.

Brother Qun's yard hasn't been finished yet, but Li Rui has returned to the village. He has to go to the capital in the spring to take the exam. It will be too late if he doesn't go.

"He has changed. He is much calmer. It looks like he is suffering outside."

Xiu Niang nodded with a smile.

"Thank you second aunt for giving me such a good opportunity. I have gained experience in the past two years and gained a lot of knowledge."

Li Rui bowed his head and thanked him.

"You will go to the capital first in the spring, and then you will go after the group brothers. Are you ready?"

"I'm ready."

Li Rui looked calm and calm.

"That's good. Go and help me clean up the yard. Your brother is not as neat as you."

Xiuniang was talking about the courtyard in the capital.

"Yes. Auntie, I've cost you money again."

Li Rui already knew that he and Brother Qun were the only ones in that big courtyard, and it would be prestigious to get married in the capital in the future.

"You have to walk the rest of the way on your own. I can't help you. Go and listen to my elder brother. Listen more, watch more and talk less. The capital is not as good as home. You need to be more thoughtful. Let's discuss it with the brothers. "

"I got it."

After the New Year, Li Rui took a boat to the capital to take the exam. Brother Qun was about to enter the examination room. This time he was going to take the exam.

After spring, my grandfather bought another shop from a middle-aged man. This time it was still under the name of Brother Jing, and he planned to sell groceries, groceries that traveled north and south.

In the spring, everyone agreed to hire people to build a house and build the ancestral hall and ancestral graves first. Grandpa was not in a hurry.

The whole family is waiting for news from Brother Qun and good news from him.

This time there are three scholars from the same village who are going to take the examination. I don’t know how many of them will win. There are also two candidates who went with Li Rui, plus those who stayed in the capital to be masters, and one who failed, who will also be admitted this time. There are four examination rooms in total.

After I came out, I saw that I was in good spirits. The doctor checked my pulse and there was nothing wrong. I just felt tired. I just need to rest for a few days.

After everyone's expectations, the good news finally came. Qun Ge was the leader, which made the whole village very excited. Everyone hoped that Qun Ge would win, which was also a testament to Li Ping's legacy.

Of the remaining three, two have passed the exam and one has failed. News from the capital has not come so soon and they will have to wait for another month.

"Well done. My son has brought glory to your father. I'll go give your father a nice treat later."

Xiu Niang looked at the group of brothers and smiled, and exhaled for a long time. No matter how you say it, I am worthy of the blessings left to me by the original owner.

"Mom, my son is kowtowing to you, which makes you tired." Brother Qun knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, his eyes a little red.

My mother has been very hard and aggrieved these past few years.

The coffin crashing was extremely sad and a last resort. There were people from Xu Jin's clan who were officials. My mother was afraid that Xu Jin would kill and silence them and harm their brothers. She knew that her father's death was unknown, so she decided to crash the coffin to intimidate Xu Jin.

If there is anything wrong with the mother, the eldest uncle will never let go of the Xu family. Even if their brothers are saved, Lijia Village will be safe.

"Son, you can go to the capital in a few days. Your two uncles and your younger uncle are waiting for you in the capital. Go and listen to your uncle and younger uncle, study hard and make progress, and give your father a reputation for our family. .”

"Yes, my son remembered it."

The whole family was so happy that Qun Ge won the election, and then they started building a house.

Brother Qun didn't leave in a hurry. He discussed with the master what kind of house to build based on the drawings and ordered the furniture. Everything was done according to Xiuniang's preferences.

Dad is gone, but you still have a son who loves you. He has finished the attic and garden you want, and I am leaving.

Flowers and trees were also ordered immediately, and her favorite rose trees were planted. Her father-in-law and Li Mao transplanted them themselves. The small garden turned out to be very beautiful. When it grows up, it will be the most beautiful garden in the village.

Qing'er specially asked for a room to live with Xiu Niang, and her sister-in-law didn't care about her.

Several families have started building houses this year, and Grandma Wang's house is almost finished. She didn't have to pay for it. The whole village, old and young, built it for her as a thank-you gift, thanking her for teaching the girls to be decent. The villagers helped her manage the land she bought and made it sound and thorough.

This year, Grandma Wang bought another shop with her grandfather. They can earn a few pocket money from doing business together, which is enough for their retirement.

The last time Grandma Wang's sister-in-law came to inquire, the villagers turned her away and never dared to come again.

The yard was finished, and it was the style that Xiu Niang had longed for. The group brothers and the children from the clan school helped to set it up throughout the process. It has a Jiangnan graceful style, and she likes this style.

The attic was made very open and bright. You could open all the windows if it wasn't raining. It was very bright. If it was cold, two walls would be fire walls. There would be warmth, so that it wouldn't be cold when weaving tapestry silk. The group of brothers had all thought it through for her.

Xiuniang was very happy as she wandered around the new house. From now on, it would be the yard where she would retire. The warmest room downstairs facing south was occupied by her father-in-law, mother-in-law and her parents, who had agreed to live with her.

In April, there was a gentle rain of apricot blossoms, and good news came from the capital. Li Rui won the first prize in the gold medal list, two first prizes in one subject, and the Li family became famous.

After getting the good news, the father-in-law found a boat to send Brother Qun over. This was an official boat and it was the person Zhou Yi was looking for.

Uncle, major matters between Brother Qun and Brother Chun must be approved by Zhou Yi. He is qualified to intervene.

Brother Chun doesn't want to go, he has to study at the clan school. He won't go to the capital until he passes the exam. Now he will study at home.

There was no rush for Li Rui's marriage. Zhou Yi wrote in a letter and said that he was qualified to make a good choice this time. The limelight was a bit too overwhelming, so he found an excuse to postpone it until later.

There are many people who have proposed marriage to Li Rui when he begged his sister-in-law. Li Rui is very handsome, and the city is the most popular among the Li family, so there is no need to worry about his future.

Li Rui went to the Secretary's Office, where he mainly collected documents, sorted out books and other matters. It was not easy to get in here. He didn't have any skills but couldn't get in. This was the support of the Zhang family.

Li Rui was still young, so he was not in a hurry to get married. His uncle didn't get married either, so the Zhang family just said they would wait and find a deal.

Except for Li Rui, who had the best results, all four of them were on the list this time and became Jinshi. They were ready to wait for the transfer order and then went to the field. It was time for the Li family to reap the fruits.

After Li Rui arrived, he and Li Heng worked together to take care of this bit of industry in the capital. They found someone to repair the dilapidated areas in the yard, and spent money to buy a family with a little boy. The aunt cooked and cleaned, the man looked after the door and drove the car, and Li Rui is not very good at cooking and has no time.

Li Heng is now using people provided by the Zhang family. This time, it was also the people provided by the Zhang family. Yazi bought a family for Li Rui. He couldn't do everything by himself. He wouldn't be able to do it.
