On the evening of the fifteenth, the whole family sat together and had a good meal.

"Third brother, do you really not need your brother to accompany you tomorrow?" Wei Lao San asked again.

Wei Lao San has been selling candied haws in the town for more than a year and has gained more experience than before. He heard from people in the town that the capital is far away and it will take several days to walk, so it would be good to have someone to look after him on the way.

"No need, my son can go alone." Wei Hanzhou refused again.

"Well, okay. Dad doesn't know what to do either. Since you have made up your mind, let's do it this way." said Wei Lao San.

After saying this, Wei Lao San gave his son a few more instructions.

"Dad doesn't understand much. You've studied for so many years, and now you're a tutor, so you must understand better than me. Whether you pass the exam or not is secondary. You must be careful and take good care of yourself along the way. You're still young, and you're the youngest tutor in our city. Even if you don't pass this exam, you can still pass it in three years. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

In the eyes of Wei Lao San, his son's success in passing the imperial examination means he has the capital to settle down. And now that he has passed the imperial examination, he is even more incomparable to ordinary people. Their family's status has been greatly improved. Now when he walks on the street, everyone is polite to him. Even those who wanted to covet his candied haws and apples before, now dare not do so.

As for passing the imperial examination, he did not dare to think about it. It was too far away for him, just like something in a play. He had never known a jinshi, nor had he heard of anyone who had a jinshi.

He was content that his son succeeded.

"Well, thanks for your advice, Dad. I'm relieved."

Wei Lao San responded with a smile.

Afterwards, Li took out the money he had prepared.

"Here is thirty-three taels of silver. Since you got married, we have saved all the money in the past two years. I will give it to you." Afraid that his son would not accept it, Wei Lao San continued, "You should take it. Your brothers and sisters-in-law all agree to this. Besides, the journey to the capital is far away, and it is different from the provincial capital. We don't know if we will encounter any troubles by then. If you take it, it will also make the family feel at ease."

"Yes, third brother, take it. If you don't let your brother go, you must bring money with you." Wei Erhu spoke first.

"Yes, Third Brother, take it, don't be stingy, spend it as much as you want." Wei Daniu also said, "If you don't have it, your brothers will earn it."

Liu Tangxi sat aside and watched quietly. Although she had no blood relationship with Wei Laosan's family, she was deeply moved by the scene in front of her.

This family is really nice, honest and dutiful.

Just as she was thinking about it, Wei Hanzhou, who was standing next to her, stood up and bowed deeply to Wei Laosan and his wife and Wei Daniu and Wei Erhu and their wife.

"Thank you, parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, for supporting me. I will never forget your kindness."

Thinking of her son's long journey tomorrow, Li's eyes had already turned red. When she heard her son say this, she wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? We are all family. Please sit down."

"Yes, third brother, don't be polite. You are a father-in-law now, and your nephews are still waiting for you to take care of them." Wei Erhu said with a smile.

Wei Hanzhou accepted the silver that Li gave him, but he took out more than three taels of silver in small change to keep for his family in case of emergency.

Wei Lao San thought about it and accepted it.

Thinking about Wei Hanzhou tomorrow

As they had to hurry, everyone didn't talk any more and Wei Lao San asked them to leave.

Wei Hanzhou had already packed his things and did not go to the study to read. Instead, he went back to his room with Liu Tangxi.

After washing up, they turned off the lights and lay down on the bed.

At first, no one spoke.

Perhaps it was because of the atmosphere in the main hall just now, but Liu Tangxi felt a little heavy at the moment. Thinking that Wei Hanzhou would go to Beijing for the examination tomorrow, she felt indescribable.

If she had just arrived, she would definitely be happy at this moment, because the sooner Wei Hanzhou passed the exam, the sooner she could return to Beijing.

But now, she was somewhat reluctant.

This reluctance was not only for the place where she had lived for more than a year, but also for Wei Hanzhou.

"My husband will be going to the capital tomorrow. Do you have anything to say to me?" Wei Hanzhou spoke first.

Liu Tangxi pursed her lips and said, "Be careful along the way, eat and drink well, don't save money, and study hard for the exam."

This voice has an indescribable sense of depression.

Wei Hanzhou let out a long sigh, then turned around, quickly lifted Liu Tangxi's quilt, and naturally hugged her.

Liu Tangxi was stunned for a moment.

Last time, Wei Hanzhou did it while she was asleep.

Although she knew it, she was pretending to be asleep at that time.

But this time he was so bold that he pushed her aside without even asking her a question.

Moreover, the movements are too skillful. You can tell at a glance that she has done it secretly many times.

Should she call him a lecher or push him away? If she didn't push him away, wouldn't it make her seem too submissive and unrestrained?

She opened her mouth and was about to say something, but Wei Hanzhou put his hand on her waist. For a moment, she was so nervous that she couldn't utter a word.

"I will be leaving home tomorrow. I estimate that I will be back in March or April. It will be no different from going to school as usual. You don't have to worry too much about me. I will take good care of myself."

Listening to what Wei Hanzhou said, Liu Tangxi thought, forget it, he has to take the exam tomorrow, so she won't bother with him for now.

She would settle the score with him when he came back from the exam.

However, even as she was thinking this, the hand on her waist actually rubbed it a few times dishonestly.

Liu Tangxi shuddered and said, "Who, who is worried about you, stop being narcissistic."

As he said that, he raised his hand and pushed Wei Hanzhou.

No push.

Wei Han's boat is as solid as a rock.

Liu Tangxi pushed again.

Still no push.

At this time, her hand was held by Wei Hanzhou.

"Well, my wife is not worried about me, but I am worried about you." Wei Hanzhou said, "I will be gone for a few months, my wife, please take good care of yourself."

Liu Tangxi pursed her lips and stopped talking immediately.

Neither of them spoke anymore. Liu Tangxi felt the big palm covering her hand, felt the warm chest under her hand, smelled the scent of Wei Hanzhou, and gradually felt a sense of relief.

However, there seems to be real muscle on this chest.

Liu Tangxi couldn't help but touch it.

After just a few touches, Wei Hanzhou suddenly let go of Liu Tangxi's hand and pulled away the space between them.

distance.

Liu Tangxi suddenly felt guilty, her eyes wandering and she dared not look at Wei Hanzhou. However, thinking that Wei Hanzhou hugged her waist and grabbed her hands, which was even more excessive than her, she became confident again and raised her head to glare at him.

As soon as I looked up, I saw Wei Hanzhou lowering his head.

The last time Wei Hanzhou did something like this was about half a year ago, when he had just finished the provincial examination. That time, she avoided him.

This time——

Liu Tangxi felt her heart beating rapidly again. She didn't have time to dodge, but subconsciously closed her eyes, not daring to look at Wei Hanzhou.

Then she felt a warm touch on her eyes.

"It's getting late, go to bed." Wei Hanzhou's voice was mellow and seemed to have magic.

Liu Tangxi said dumbly, "Oh."

Although he agreed to let Wei Hanzhou sleep, it took Liu Tangxi a long time to fall asleep.

Moreover, the next morning, as soon as Wei Hanzhou woke up, she opened her eyes and asked in a slightly dull voice, "Are you leaving?"

Wei Hanzhou responded with a “Yeah.”

Liu Tangxi suddenly came to his senses.

Seeing that Wei Hanzhou had almost finished packing, Liu Tangxi was silent for a while. Then, he turned around, took out something from under the pillow, and handed it to Wei Hanzhou.

She had wanted to do this last night, but she forgot about it because of Wei Hanzhou's behavior afterwards.

"Here is ten taels of silver. Take it. It will be handy in case of any unexpected incidents."

This time, Liu Tangxi really gave all his family fortune to Wei Hanzhou.

Wei Hanzhou looked down at the dark blue bamboo-embroidered purse in Liu Tangxi's hand, took it and opened it. However, he took out the silver and returned it to Liu Tangxi, but took the purse away.

"There's no need for silver. The thirty taels my father gave me are more than enough. The purse has a good meaning, so I'll keep it."

Liu Tangxi sat on the bed with her hair loose. She looked at the silver in her hand, then looked at Wei Hanzhou's cautious look as he put away his purse. She pursed her lips and couldn't help but reveal a smile.

It took her three full days to embroider that purse.

She was quick with her hands and could usually finish three purses in one morning. In three days, she could finish all ten purses.

But she embroidered the purse very slowly and seriously, and was often teased by Zhou while she was embroidering.

Fortunately, Wei Hanzhou was knowledgeable and knew that the purse she embroidered was more important than ten taels of silver.

Wei Hanzhou put away his purse and placed it on his chest instead of hanging it around his waist. Then, he continued to pack his things.

He didn't have much stuff, so he packed it up in no time.

During the whole process, Liu Tangxi just sat on the bed and watched.

When Wei Hanzhou picked up his things and was about to leave, she finally reacted and asked nervously, "How about I give you a ride?"

Wei Hanzhou touched her hair and said, "No need."

"Um?"

"I'm afraid...I won't be willing to leave for a while."

As he said this, Wei Hanzhou looked at Liu Tangxi.

Liu Tangxi's face suddenly turned red, and she said shyly, "You...you...you are going to take the exam, do well in the exam, and don't miss me too much."

"Yes, I will remember it."

Wei Hanzhou left home and went to the capital.

He's not in now,

No one in the family would study anymore, and no one would care whether the children would shout loudly or not.

However, after he left, the house became quieter than when he was at home.

Not to mention Li, even Zhang and Zhou had nervous looks on their faces.

If Wei Hanzhou passed the imperial examination in one go, then their family would really have to change their status.

I heard that there was an official in the county who was just dismissed for accusing someone.

This is simply unthinkable.

Not to mention that someone in their family was an official, they had to be cautious when they saw Li Zheng. If someone's family had a good relationship with Li Zheng's family, they would be envied by the whole village. If this person really passed the imperial examination and was appointed an official, he would be much more powerful than Li Zheng.

As soon as I thought about this matter, I started to think about the long-term and lost the concentration to do my work.

Liu Tangxi also had no intention of working.

However, she thought differently from the other members of Wei Lao San's family.

Because she had read the book, she knew that Wei Hanzhou would definitely pass the exam. Moreover, the original owner was also from a marquisate, so it made no difference to her whether he was an official or not.

In addition to worrying about Wei Hanzhou's situation on the road, these days, the situation of the days before Wei Hanzhou left would occasionally appear in her mind, and a smile would occasionally appear on her face.

No matter how nervous or imaginative everyone was, after five or six days, they gradually returned to normal. Apart from occasionally asking where Wei Hanzhou was, there was nothing else to do.

Wei Lao San is going to buy an apple tree.

Wei Hanzhou had a few small changes left, and together with the money they had earned from selling candied haws and reeds recently, it was enough to buy the tree.

Liu Tangxi had wanted Wei Laosan to buy a tree for a long time, and was very happy to know that he was going to buy one.

"I wonder if the crops grown on that piece of land will taste as good as the previous ones." Wei Lao San muttered.

Liu Tangxi ate her meal silently without saying anything. She had already made up her mind that she would touch the tree once it was planted.

Previously, Wei Lao San thought that many people coveted their apple trees, so he planned to fence off the land and go to the mountain to watch over it every day. But now that Wei Hanzhou was caught, no one dared to covet it, which saved them a lot of trouble.

In addition to this, their business of selling candied haws in the town is also getting better and better.

When it was not a market, he only sold 70 to 80 strings a day. Now that they knew he was the father of a young scholar, more and more people came to buy Tanghulu, and he could sell more than 100 strings a day. Especially those families with children in school, as if they thought that eating a string of Tanghulu from the scholar's family would help their children pass the exam, so they came to buy it every day.

However, most of the people who come here because of its reputation fall in love with the taste of their candied haws after trying it once, and more and more of them become repeat customers.

When the rally comes, there will be even more to sell.

Since they grew the hawthorns themselves and didn't spend any money, they earned nearly two taels of silver in one month.

This, together with the previous profits, just made back the money used to buy the hawthorn land, so Wei Lao San and the others were naturally very happy.

Winter passed and spring came. The apple trees on the mountain were planted, and Wei Laosan's family saved another five or six taels of silver.

This was unthinkable in the past. In the past, if the money for Wei Hanzhou's studies was not counted, their family could save at most two taels of silver a year. The twenty taels in the past were the money saved by living frugally for many years.

Think carefully

I think it started after my third daughter-in-law got married.

Li was very happy and bought some of Liu Tangxi's favorite fruits when she came back from the town.

Liu Tangxi was eating the apricots that Li had bought from the town, thinking to herself that Wei Hanzhou's test results should be out soon.

Perhaps he had a sense of it, because at this moment, in the capital, Wei Hanzhou had just been named the top scholar.

Moreover, he was the youngest number one scholar in the entire Dali Dynasty.

The author has something to say. I will add another chapter. Are you surprised? Are you happy? The chapter may be updated at a certain time in the evening. You can read it tomorrow. 100 comments on this chapter will be drawn to give out red envelopes.

A pre-collection, don't miss it if you pass by, come and collect it~

"When I Got the Golden Finger to Travel Through Time and Space"

After traveling through time, Xue Yinxu became the unfavored fourth daughter of a concubine in the prefect's family.

I thought it was a difficult mode, but I didn't expect that I had a cheat code that allowed me to travel freely through time and space.

Wrongly accuse her of stealing the eldest sister's pearl earrings?

Xue Yinxu went back to the day when the earring was lost. After seeing the truth, she exposed the second lady in public.

Secretly drug her?

Xue Yinxu identified all the people involved, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

After seeing how powerful she was, everyone in the prefect's residence no longer dared to provoke her.

Xue Yinxu had nothing to do, so he started using his golden finger to travel through time and space to watch plays, listen to music, and visit brothels. He was very happy.

However, one day, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice who was solving a case was brought into time and space.

From then on, listening to music and visiting brothels became a thing of the past, while solving cases and tracking down murderers became the norm.

Han Lin, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, is the Emperor's nephew and holds a high status.

Everyone said that the illegitimate daughter of the prefect was shameless and followed the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice every day.

Later, the Minister of Justice went to ask for an official position for her in person and took her home as his wife.

Everyone gets slapped in the face.

Small theater

One day, Han Lin said solemnly, "Take me to the 16th day of the third month of the year of Ji Hai."

Someone touched his nose and said, "Well, the authority for that day has been used up..."

Han Lin glanced at her and asked, "Hmm?"

Someone said in a lower and lower voice, "I heard that the courtesan at Xinghualou shocked the whole capital with her song and dance that day, so I went to watch it secretly."

Han Lin snorted coldly, "Are you going to see the courtesan, or the second prince of the neighboring country?"

Someone pretended to be stupid, "This, that, haha, it doesn't matter who you look at, everyone loves beauty~"
