"Look at the newly tidied house, but there is still something missing or something you want to add. This side of Xiangyang has never been built by anyone, but your father rebuilt it himself."

Xu He led Brother Xiaoli to see the new wing. The two children are grown up, and it would be inconvenient to live in the same room. When Ruijin was about to take an exam, he just moved a nest for Brother Li.

"Ah?" Rui Li opened his mouth wide open. He said that the family has recently been beating and cleaning up the house. His father also told him that the roof was repaired because of a leak, and it turned out that the house was arranged for him. Looking around in the wing room, the new room is very nice, big and bright, but: "I still want to stay with my brother."

He and his elder brother faced each other, and they slept together in a small bed when they were born, and suddenly they were separated. After that, he would not be able to sleep if he kicked someone's **** or raped someone's quilt when he slept.

"Brother is going to take an exam. You study late at night. You are not afraid that he will disturb you to sleep by lighting the candle?"

"Oh, it's been a few days. Besides, my brother seldom studies in the house, but reads and writes in the study. He won't disturb me at all."

Xu He grabbed the younger brother who wanted to sneak out, and he has been clinging to his elder brother since he was a child. Naturally, he would not easily agree to let the two separate. Seeing that it was an excuse, he said: "You two are so old It’s not the rule to stay together, and it’s to make people laugh if it’s spread out. In the future, your brother will marry a wife, and you still can’t squeeze into one room? The sooner you move out, the sooner you’ll get used to it.”

"I don't want it." Brother Xiaoli couldn't run out, so he lay down on the soft bed and acted foolishly: "I want to marry my brother, so I don't have to move the house."

"Nonsense." Xu He patted Brother Li on the forehead: "Who says there is a family that can get married."

Brother Xiaoli covered his head: "Then why did Uncle marry his cousin? Uncle said that the family calls this a closer relationship. If I marry my brother, I will not be closer than them!"

Xu He clenched his fists: "Do you believe that I will beat you!?"

Brother Xiaoli shrank to the other end of the limp: "It was originally."

"The cousin is a distant relative, is that a relative under the same roof?"

Brother Xiao Li embraced the little soft pillow on the soft bed, pouted and confronted his father: "Brother won't marry anyone else if he doesn't marry me, he said he wants to study and learn from time to time, so there is no time to get married. "

"Your brother is not as naughty and ignorant as you."

"Humph!"

Xu He sat on the soft bed: "If you don't move all the things in the house with your servants today, you are not allowed to go out of the house to play. If you let go, then I don’t know.”

As he said that, Xu He walked out of the house as soon as he lifted his buttocks, and brother Xiaoli hurriedly chased after him: "Don't move, don't move, I will move here myself!"

Ruijin came out of the study, looked at Brother Li who was running behind Xu He's buttocks: "Moved?"

"Brother, come and stop Daddy."

Brother Xiaoli rushed over to grab Ruijin's hand, but seeing that his brother was motionless, he exhaled angrily: "Could it be that you don't want to share a room with me for a long time!"

"I didn't think about it long ago, I didn't think about it yesterday,"

"You don't have me anymore!"

In the middle of May, Zhang Fangyuan received a letter from Suzhou. Zhang Xiaotian and Zhang Xiaoxuan's trip to Suzhou went smoothly. The goods were almost sold out, and they could return early.

The second branch of Zhuangyan's martial arts school is no less in charge of business than the first one. The child in the family is one year old. They have bought a new house this morning, and they are planning to do the same as their home. Good things come in pairs. The birthday banquet is held on one day.

After looking through the almanac, it turned out that Tong Kao and Tong Kao had a day together, and even the exam day was an auspicious day set by the local government.

In this way, the Zhang family is a little busy. They have to send people to the dealer to help, and they also have to worry about Ruijin's fate.

In the past, when the scientific examination was paid more attention to, the children's examination was also divided into two rounds of examinations. They had to pass the county examination and the government examination. Only after passing the two examinations could they continue to participate in the scientific examination. However, due to the strictness of the two exams, there were not enough talents to be recruited by the imperial court, so the children's exams were appropriately relaxed, and the two exams were combined with one exam, and five exams were taken in succession.

At this time, it was almost summer, the weather was extremely hot, and the environment of the examination room was not as good as at home. In the early morning, the parents of the rich family took their young children to wait outside the examination room.

Before dawn, Xu He went through the bookcases arranged by his servants for Ruijin and checked them again. Although the children's test is not as strict as the college test and the rural test, the final test is very strict. If the bookcase, pen, ink, paper and inkstone If something goes wrong, it will be a big problem to be disqualified from the exam, not to mention that there are still several candidates who are connected with each other, which will also be affected.

When it was daylight, the servants had harnessed the carriage and were about to send Ruijin to the examination room.

My brother took the exam, and there was one student missing in the private school, and the master also gave everyone a holiday. Brother Xiao Li was sleeping soundly on the bed with his **** sticking out, but he thought about agreeing to send his brother to the examination room, so he crawled out of bed with sleepy eyes. up.

The servants put on the clothes for him neatly, soaked the soft and slippery handkerchief from the cool ointment water and applied it to his face, the drowsiness that stuck to him like a dog skin plaster dissipated a lot, and he was carried in by the servants. into the carriage.

The carriage was swaying along the way, and he fell asleep again. The little dad and the old dad kept telling his brother this and that, and he fell asleep immediately, and only a fairy-like figure like his brother could wake up so early at the same time. He also patiently listened to the second elder's explanation with great vigor.

"It's just a water test, don't be nervous."

"Know."

When a family of four went outside the examination room, there was already a sea of ​​people. The higher the examination, the fewer candidates there were. As the first level, the children's examination had the largest number of references, and most of them were children under the age of ten. , most of the family members will accompany each other, so there are the most outsiders in the examination room.

"Father, let's go back, let the book boy follow me there, and I have to go to my uncle's house to help."

Xu He nodded.

Ruijin took another look at Brother Li, who was sleeping soundly by Xu He's lap, and went up to pinch his face: "Drool is dripping out, I'm leaving."

Brother Xiaoli opened his eyes in a daze, and wiped his mouth subconsciously: "Are you here?"

"Um."

"Brother, go to the examination room quickly. I will pick you up after you finish the exam."

Ruijin smiled, touched Brother Li's head, and got out of the carriage without saying a word.

Brother Xiao Li hurried to the window, pulled the curtain of the car and got out, watching his brother politely enter the examination room accompanied by the book boy for the physical examination. Uncle's is eating delicious food!"

Zhang Fangyuan hugged the little guy back: "Greedy ghost, you couldn't jump up and down in the past, do you understand?"

"I know, I still want to see the children."

The carriage turned and went to the dealer's house.

In the past few years, the income of the martial arts school has been quite a lot, but it only takes 30%. Zhang Fangyuan can raise fifty or sixty taels of silver every month. Zhuang Lian has been saving the money. Office house.

Originally, Xu He hoped that Xiaomao would live closer to them, but in the past few years, many new shops have been built on Qingshan Lane in the west of the city, and more and more people are living in Qingshan Lane. That price is the same size as Zhang's house now, at least twice as expensive.

After all, the foundation is not stable enough, and there are two martial arts gyms that need to be operated. After all, I chose a house on the east side of the city. Although it is not as spacious as Zhang's house, it is quite big for a couple and a cub to live in. Moreover, he had been living in the martial arts hall before, but suddenly moved into the house, in any case, the conditions were much better than before.

It is lively here today, the new house is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the red silk is hung high. In the past few years, business has made friends. Today, good things come in pairs.

Zhang Fangyuan and Xu He also prepared a generous gift and brought a full box of congratulatory firecrackers.

From the hour of Chen, the dealer's gunfire has never stopped, and it is as festive as New Year's Eve.

"This dealer is really generous, and he won a new house in one fell swoop."

"Since the opening of the Ji'an martial arts gym, the business of other martial arts gyms in the city has declined, and now a second martial arts gym has opened, which is enough to show that they have made a lot of money."

"This farmer has really established itself. It was just a village farmer and hunter back then, but it was able to open a martial arts gym in one fell swoop, and it has been running all the way to this day."

"Behind the dealer is Zhang Fangyuan. With this cousin protecting him, it's not surprising that the dealer's business can pick up."

A few tea drinkers on the second floor of the dealer's tea house across the street watched the dealer's firecrackers flying, and couldn't help feeling a few words.

"Brother Qin, don't sit still, drink some tea."

"How can Brother Cai's words make Brother Qin eat the tea?"

The middle-aged man surnamed Cai was slightly taken aback, knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue, he apologized and refilled a cup of tea with the man surnamed Qin.

Qin Hongde was unhappy in his heart, the most important thing for him was the martial arts business, half of the military officers in the city belonged to him, and the martial arts with other surnames were all begging for life under his hands. Watching Ji'an Martial Arts grow and grow, it feels like a thorn in the throat.

It's not that they haven't suppressed the Ji'an Martial Arts School. They thought the dealer was just opened by a hunter, and it would be easy to get rid of it, but as the people at the banquet said, the Zhang family is behind the dealer.

At the beginning, that kid Zhang Fangyuan became famous in one fell swoop by relying on the charcoal fire business, and laid down a foundation, but he couldn't get rid of it easily. In the past, he had discussed the charcoal fire business with Zhang's family, but in the end they could not reach an agreement. The new hatred added to the old hatred, and Qin Hongde was even more annoyed.

He took a few sips of tea and couldn't see the excitement and festivities of the dealer, so he excused himself by saying that the weather was hot today, so he left the table.

"Brother Qin!"

Seeing Qin Hongde throwing his sleeves away, the person surnamed Cai hurriedly stood up to try to persuade him to stay, but he didn't catch up with him. When the person walked away, his expression changed, and he took a sip of tea contentedly.

The business of the Zhang family is not martial arts, but the poultry supplied by the village. During natural disasters, word-of-mouth has been established. The business has remained high all these years, but it has made his poultry business bad. There is nothing better than a knife.

The dealer's wedding banquet is over, but Ruijin's exam is not over yet.

Brother Xiaoli is bored at home, although my brother often spends time in the study when he is at home, and may not play with him, but at least he is at home, wandering around in the study, reading his articles and poems, Send a cup of unseemly sweet soup made by myself and my little dad to drink, and I can always meet people, so I can pass the time for a while.

It's all right now, I'm going to take the exam, and I don't even have to look at it.

He simply took a rest and took a bath, then he dragged Little Xing to the house to play.

"I'm moving to a new house, and I haven't invited you over to play yet." Brother Xiao Li took off his shoes, climbed onto the mat that was newly laid by the servants, and brought Brother Xiao Xing over to help him take off his shoes. There is a low table above the mat, on which several plates of exquisite pastries and fruits are placed.

Brother Xiaoli cleaned his hands, and pushed the plate towards Luo Yuxing: "Little daddy made cold chicken feet, the bones of the feet have been removed, it's hot and sour, it's delicious. If you didn't come here today, daddy None of them are given."

Luo Yuxing took a bite. This dish was sold very well in the city during Xia Shi. When my grandfather went out for banquets, he would bring him a plate, but the taste was not as good as that made by my uncle Xu.

Brother Xiaoli saw that Luo Yuxing also liked it, and pinched Luo Yuxing's face with a smile: "I originally thought it was uncomfortable to move out of the original room and be away from my brother, but now it seems that there are no benefits at all here." of."

Luo Yuxing blinked: "What's the benefit?"

"Of course you can come to the house to find me when you come here? My brother was also in the same room at the time, and you always didn't come in to play."

"You are brothers, it's okay to be in the same room, how can I get in."

"Yes, yes, Master Luo has strict family education, and you are the most polite."

The two talked happily, and when Xu He came into the room, he saw two little fellows lying on the mat and reading a book. Seeing him coming in, Luo Yuxing sat up straight quickly, and called Uncle Xu in a sensible way.

Xu He patted Luo Yuxing's head, and said to Ruili: "I invited brother Xing over today to teach you needlework, brother Xing can embroider lotus flowers, and you can't even hold the needle and thread steadily. "

"Don't worry, learn slowly." Xu He cut off brother Xiao Li's attempt to evade, and said, "I'll go buy some vegetables and come back, and I'll cook your favorite dishes at noon."

"Okay!" Brother Xiaoli immediately forgot the discomfort of learning needlework, and quickly ordered: "I want to eat pork knuckle with sauce and garlic pork ribs. Brother Xiaoxing likes to eat delicacies, so Daddy should remember to buy them too." .”

"Okay, okay."

It's also been a few days since Xu He hasn't cooked by himself, and on weekdays, he just cooks some snacks for the little ones, and his culinary skills have developed rapidly.

"You guys just wait here. The carriage in the vegetable market is not easy to get in. It will be troublesome if it gets in the way." Xu He took a vegetable basket and went to the vegetable market by himself. He is very familiar with this area, selling vegetables before getting married. I have been to the vegetable market a lot, and I am familiar with the way in and out.

After moving to the house, the farm laborers have sent their children to serve as slaves in recent years, and the family has bought servants, with more and more manpower, like buying meat and vegetables for the family, and he is no longer needed. .

Today, he came in alone to buy some groceries, but he found it quite interesting, so he bought a lot when he was happy.

When he was out of the vegetable market, the basket he was carrying was full, and some hawkers felt that he was generous and wanted to chase after him and sell him some dishes.

"It's really unnecessary, it's already installed..."

"Hey, which family's husband is this, why haven't I seen him before, look at this handsome man."

Xu He tilted his head and was startled. He always felt that someone was following him. He thought it was a vegetable vendor, but when he heard the vulgar voice, he realized it was a young man.

He frowned, ignored it, and was about to leave, but the man clung to him relentlessly: "Such a big basket of vegetables, how heavy~ I might as well carry it for you, sir, I don't know my husband." Where do you live, can I send you home?"
