husband and wife

Chapter 165

After bumping the carriage day and night, they finally returned to the county at noon on the second day. Because Su Wan and the others went to the province for a few days, Mrs. Song took Song Liangwen and the others to live in Su's house, so Su Wan and the others came back , did not go to the small courtyard rented by her family, but went to Su's house.

Mrs. Su happened to be at home, she was very surprised to see her daughter and son-in-law coming back all the way, and after looking at Su Wan and the others for a while, Mrs Su swallowed the words she was about to blurt out, and hurriedly said: "It's been a hard journey, let's go back to the house and rest. "

Originally, she wanted to ask why she didn't come back after the list was released, but now Mrs. Su was thinking, maybe her son-in-law didn't do well in the exam this time, so he came back early, so she didn't dare to ask, for fear of arousing their feelings Unhappy, he greeted a few people into the house top-heavy, asked the kitchen to cook some food, boiled water, gave them food, took a bath, and slept for a while.

Song Ziheng and Su Wan were indeed exhausted. The journey was bumpy, and it was hard to sit, let alone rest. When they got home, they felt sore and swollen, and their eyelids seemed to be fighting. At this time, they used something in a hurry and lay down to sleep.

Mrs. Su was sitting in the living room thinking more and more worried, and she didn't even notice that Father Su came in. Father Su said something to her, but seeing that there was no response, he slapped the old wife on the shoulder: "What are you thinking?" , I shouldn’t even talk to you!”

"You're back?" Mrs. Su yelled, almost jumping up, remembering that her daughter and son-in-law were resting, she hurriedly stopped and said, "Wanwan and Ziheng are back!"

"Aren't they in the province? Why is this..." Father Su quickly realized that he and Mrs. Su were worried together, and both of them looked worried. Mrs. Su said, "Ziheng is young, this exam If I fail, I can continue to take the exam next time. I just think about Wanwan. She has no patience since she was a child. She was so confident when she went there that day, as if Ziheng could go to high school in one go. I am not good at that. This reminded her that if people found out, I would say that I bad-mouthed my son-in-law, but how can it be so easy to take the exam? Wu Xiucai has not passed the exam for half his life! I am afraid that Wanwan is young and ignorant. Heng is anxious once he misses, if it affects Ziheng, wouldn't it be even worse?"

Father Su was about to nod his head and say yes, when a voice came from outside: "Who said that Mr. Xiang didn't pass the exam this time?"

Father Su's father, Mrs. Su, turned around and saw Su Wan standing at the door smiling, Mrs. Su said, "Just woke up, where is Ziheng?"

"Last night, he was only talking to the scholar surnamed Xu who happened to meet, and he didn't take a break. He thinks he is tired and still asleep."

Father Su then asked: "You said Ziheng did well in the exam, why didn't you come back this time without waiting for the results to be announced?"

"Xianggong said that the provincial capital is expensive, and it costs at least one tael of silver a day. It will take ten days to wait for the results to be published. It is too uneconomical, so I will come back first. I will be notified when I pass the exam. There is nothing to worry about. Wait at home." Same."

"It costs one tael a day? Why is it so expensive?" Mrs. Su clicked her tongue.

But Father Su mused: "Every three years at this time, the province will be lively. Many scholars who go to take the Qiuwei exam will rush to the provincial government from various townships. When they arrive in the province, they will have to spend money on food and lodging. Those merchants and shopkeepers are also shrewd. No matter how expensive it is at this time, there are people who live there. After all, they are people who need to refer to, so they raise the price by two or three times than usual. This time, it will be enough to eat for a few years. Like this, candidates Don't they cost money?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Su felt relieved, and said: "It's great that Ziheng didn't fail the exam. It's okay to come back earlier. No matter how good the province is, it's not as comfortable as living at home, is it?" Then she reminded her again. Su Wan has a lot of things to do, for example, her son-in-law is nervous right now, so don't ask people how he is doing in the exam all the time, talk to him more, let him relax, and let him relax. When the exam comes, it depends on luck. If you fail this time, in the future There are so many opportunities. Su Wan nodded repeatedly, but she didn't hear a few words. The worry in her heart was much less than that of Mrs. Su. The only thing she couldn't believe now was that Song Xiaomei had changed. The trajectory, is it true that even Song Ziheng's life will change, but the chance of this should be very small, so small that it is almost impossible.

Song Ziheng chatted with Xu Yongfang almost all night long last night, and felt more and more that this brother Yongfang was a wonderful person. When the two had to separate after leaving Jiangzhou City, Su Wan also saw their reluctant feelings.Song Ziheng stayed up all night, and now he was exhausted. When Song Liangwen and the others came back, he hadn't woken up yet. Song Liangwen and the others were also surprised when they saw Su Wan, but they didn't worry too much. He promised Su Wan that he would go back to study after dinner, and then Su Wan told them what he had seen and heard in the province for many days. Not only Song Liangwen and others were fascinated by it, even Mrs. With a serious face, when she heard about Xu Yongfang, Mrs. Su said: "This child is not bad, he is a little silly, but he is better than a pure mind. I see that if he is not pure-minded, after his parents passed away, his brother and sister-in-law I will not continue to support him in school. Although he is nearly three years younger than his son-in-law, he should be married, if his brother-in-law is willing, he will be a good match with his younger sister."
