Chapter 65 The Autumn Examination is Approaching
The teahouse's business is getting better day by day, and there is never a bad time. Chang Xixi also has time to teach her students.
"You'll be going to the capital in a month. Don't worry if you haven't studied well. You still have a chance. Three years later, or even in your old age, you'll have this opportunity to climb higher. As long as you don't give up, don't be afraid of failing the exam. Have some confidence in yourself, understand?"
"Thank you for your teachings, sir."
With their current level of education, it's not that difficult. After all, they have a lifetime of opportunities to strive for success. In modern times, without good educational resources and a good background, it would be extremely difficult to succeed simply by slogging through grades. And if a family can't even afford to eat, and there's no one to guide them, then it's even more difficult.
I really can’t get over it… Forget about making a name for myself, it’s already a great achievement if I can grow up to be a normal person.
She suddenly felt a little envious of these students... Chang Xixi smiled and walked out of the room.
Late evening.
The group returned to Wanfu Village, but instead of going directly back to their homes, they went to the Chang family's home first.
The second brother had just finished delivering a truckload of goods and was sitting on the doorstep. When he saw Chang Xixi coming back, he stood up and said, "Xixi, why are you back? Mother said she would come to see you in a few days. I wonder if you can get used to it in the city."
"I'm sorry to bother you and mother. I came back today to say goodbye. I'm going to take my husband to the capital for the Autumn Examination."
"Yes, the future of my son-in-law is important. If you have any other instructions, just tell me. I don't have much ability, but I can still take care of the family." The second brother looked reluctant, but he patted his chest and said that he could do it.
Since she came to this world, only the Dou family gave her warmth. It was a love that she had never felt in her previous life. It was not ordinary at all, but rather a bit uncomfortable... Her nose felt sore and tears came to her eyes.
Dou Shi had just returned from the fields and saw Chang Xixi crying. She thought she had been bullied in the city, so she put down her hoe and winnowing basket and asked, "Xixi, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"
"It's okay, Mom. I just came back to say goodbye."
"Are you going to the capital with Gu Rongyu? It's okay. This isn't a life-or-death separation. Why are you crying? Come back after you finish the exam. I just happened to plant some beans that you like to eat. If you come back from the capital, you can catch the harvest season."
Chang Xixi burst into laughter and said, "Okay."
…
After buying a carriage and two horses in the city, Chang Xixi took Gu Rongyu, Qingnan, Li Da and Renwen, and the five of them headed directly towards Kyoto.
Before leaving, Chang Xixi stopped pretending and asked the old man to look after the teahouse. She trusted him and asked the shopkeeper to give Dou's family a sum of money every month to ensure that the family would not be too destitute because of her departure.
The guides for the games played by Yawan in the teahouse are no longer sold. As for the previous ones, anyone with a heart will definitely be able to figure them out. If no one can figure them out, more people will flock to the teahouse.
Let’s get on the road.
The old man stood at the door, stroking his beard. The shopkeeper and the waiter stood behind him, waving at the carriage.
Li Da Zi was worried, so... he also asked Ren Wen's father to come here from time to time to take care of it. This is Chang Xixi's property. Chang Xixi is the young master's first wife, so it is naturally also the young master's property. Since it belongs to the young master, he must take good care of it.
For several days, we stayed in inns.
Chang Xixi looked at the watery vegetable porridge in the bowl, the half-rotten steamed buns, and a plate of pickles. Is this all the food in such a big inn?
She knows that she has to be patient when she is outside, but she can't be so annoying!
"Waiter, come here for a moment."
"What's the matter, sir?" The waiter came forward, his eyebrows lowered, but his eyes did not hide the deliberate flattery and fawning in them.
Chang Xixi poured the porridge onto the ground, only to see a bug emerge from it. "Look what this is... I gave you money, and you're just trying to trick me? Do you think I'm blind, or do you think I'm easy to bully?"
Qingnan just took a mouthful of porridge, and with a "wow" sound, he walked to the side, held on to a pillar, and vomited it out.
The diners who were listening to the conversation started to criticize him, saying, "If you want to vomit, can you please go somewhere far away? Don't f*cking disturb me while I'm eating. Isn't that disgusting?"
When Li Da heard this, he grabbed his knife and was about to rush forward to fight with the man, but Qing Nan grabbed his sleeve and said, "Forget it! This meal is really bad. Isn't your wife here? Let your wife help us get justice." Only then did he put down the knife in his hand and sat down.
The waiter was busy apologizing, "Madam, this is all we have in our small shop. Please don't make things difficult for us. Look at this road, there is no shop or village in sight. It's not easy for us to do business, and you are picking on us."
"Looking for trouble? This is like pig food. Tell me, am I looking for trouble?"
Chang Xixi was so angry that she laughed out loud, and raised her hand to slap the waiter.
The waiter was stunned!
"You, how could you be like this! What did I do wrong? You and the others all eat the same things, but you are the only one who is being so pretentious. Seeing that your food and clothes are not that good, I gave you face, but you are still acting like that." The waiter couldn't help it. Originally, in their line of work, they would just take advantage of wealthy families. Who knew that Chang Xixi saw that there were so many people in the group. When she went to their room at night and opened their bags, she found that they didn't have a penny! They didn't even have a good piece of clothing. The servants were even worse off, so they had to deconstruct the copper coins.
Damn it!
The waiter stopped pretending to be a jerk and said, "Brothers, come on! I was thinking of letting them go! But now I've figured it out. I won't let them go."
A group of big men appeared out of nowhere, some holding machetes and some holding sticks, and went straight towards Chang Xixi and her group.
Gu Rongyu felt so uncomfortable. Originally, the matter was over. They could just leave and let these people continue to rob passers-by. They would not interfere with each other. That would be fine. But he did not expect Chang Xixi to insist on provoking him. After all, she was his wife.
He gave Qingnan a look and Qingnan nodded.
Li Da also felt the eye contact between the two men, and roughly understood what Gu Rongyu was going to do. He stood up and killed all these people without leaving a single piece of armor. Ren Wen was even more incredible. His body was covered with the blood of the enemies. The short knife was covered with blood, and it dripped onto the ground, making a clattering sound.
Chang Xixi watched this scene for just a second before she grabbed Gu Rongyu's hand and got into the carriage. After getting in, she called out to the two of them, "Let's go! Why are you still standing there like an idiot?"
Li Da put away his knife, and Ren Wen covered the rear.
Seeing that those people had no strength to get up, he put away his knife and sat outside the carriage.
