Chapter 595: The Third Room is Difficult
Shao Liulang was so excited by these words that he almost jumped up: "How can we not be familiar with each other? We had a very pleasant chat last time!"
Shao Yunduan: "But none of them mentioned my cousin these days, Dad, have you heard it?"
Uncle Shao choked.
Shao Liulang was furious: "You must be the one behind this! You are just jealous!"
Qiao Xuan blinked, very confused: "Sixth cousin, why do you insist on making friends with Master Xie and his group? Aren't there enough students in the academy for you to make friends with?"
Shao Yunduan glanced at Qiao Xuan, a smile flashing across his eyes.
Shao Liulang was stunned. Yes, why did he have to make friends with Master Xie and the others? They were Shao Yunduan's friends, so they would naturally side with Shao Yunduan. What good would it do if he tried his best to get close to them?
He knew that he was just unwilling to give in and just wanted to surpass Shao Yunduan.
"Hmph, let's wait and see!"
Shao Liulang walked away in anger. There was still a lot of time to come, and he would eventually be better than Shao Yunduan.
Qiao Xuan thought that now that the Second House had Yan, who had also won over Shao Silang, Niu, Second Uncle Shao and the others were now mostly focusing on the Yan family, so things were much quieter.
Later, they had their own way to make money with the help of the Yan family, and their lives became better. They also saw clearly that it was impossible for them to succeed in sucking blood from the eldest wife, so naturally they gave up on this idea.
But there are three bedrooms. It’s quite difficult!
A person like Shao Liulang who is incapable of carrying anything and yet thinks highly of himself and is self-righteous will keep complaining if he fails the exam. Even if he passes the exam and becomes an official, his personality will probably bring him even greater troubles.
Qiao Xuan felt that it would be better for this person not to pass the imperial examination.
When Shao Liulang returned home, Ma felt distressed when she saw his expression. She said angrily, "My son, I knew that none of the first wife's wives were good. They just want to see us suffer! Don't go there in the future. Shao Yunduan would like to make you so angry that you lose your concentration and fail to learn! You should study hard on your own. When you succeed, see what he has to say!"
Shao Liulang's face looked even uglier.
Of course he knew that this would be a slap in the face.
But the problem is that it is very difficult to do.
Originally, he thought that passing the examination to become a scholar was an easy matter, and he was aiming to become a Jinshi, so he didn't take a mere scholar seriously at all.
But now.
He doesn't seem as confident anymore.
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed, and all the work was done. The cassava planted had sprouted leaves. Looking at the fresh and tender little sprouts and green leaves, Qiao Xuan really thought they were beautiful and cute no matter how she looked at them!
When the cassava is ripe in autumn, you can get tapioca flour and make all kinds of soft and chewy taro balls, pearls for bubble tea, and mix tapioca flour with flour or glutinous rice flour to make all kinds of glutinous rice cakes and snacks.
Qiao Xuan had some free time, so she went to the city with Xiao Qi and Tao Tao to sell the honey she had extracted earlier to Shopkeeper Qin. They also went to the local landowner to buy a piece of sloping land next to the flower fields in the village.
Take the land first, and then hire people to clear it after the busy farming season, so that cassava can be planted next spring.
The cassava is planted on the mountain. Just put up a little fence to prevent livestock from destroying it. It's okay if the villagers see it.
If anyone wants to grow taro, she can even provide the stems for free next year and teach them how to grow it, as well as various ways to eat it besides making taro balls.
Once we come back to the city, we can start growing watermelon seedlings.
We can plant more this year and let Ding Erzhu and others in Zhangjia Village plant some as well.
