Chapter 420: Go to the capital after the results are announced
Xia Ning drove the carriage to see Xu Qingye off.
Song Yuntang was bored being alone, so he packed up and went to Yujun Pavilion. He was busy until the evening before returning to the inn.
Xu Qingye came back the next morning.
When I came back, there were more red bloodshot under my eyes than when I came out of the exam room yesterday.
Song Yuntang was worried that his health would be damaged by such non-stop work.
"Why don't you rest in the inn first? We can go home after you've rested up, and maybe we can make it in time for dinner."
Xu Qingye shook his head.
"Just go back, it's the same if you rest in the carriage."
Seeing that he insisted, Song Yuntang did not object. After clearing the debris on the carriage to the side, he laid a cushion on the ground so that two people could lie down.
As soon as they got on the carriage, Xu Qingye hugged Song Yuntang and closed his eyes.
"Tang'er."
Hearing him calling him suddenly, Song Yuntang raised his eyes, which happened to fall into the man's deep black eyes.
At this moment, she clearly felt her heart beating violently.
Suppress your inner emotions.
"What's wrong?"
After a short silence, the man spoke again, "The teacher asked me to go to the capital with him after the results are announced. Do you want to go with me?"
Song Yuntang was a little surprised.
"We don't know the results of the exam yet, has Mr. Tang made a decision?"
Xu Qingye nodded.
"The teacher said that I have mastered the content of the provincial examination very well. Even if I fail this time, I will have another chance to take the exam in the capital. The imperial examination mainly tests policy essays, classics and poetry, so it is no longer suitable to study in isolation. There are many students in the capital, so it would be more suitable to study there."
If he had not married, his parents were still young and Wencheng was at home, he would definitely be willing to go with his teacher.
But after getting married, he has to consider his wife's feelings.
I can't leave her alone just for the sake of courage.
Song Yuntang heard some information from his words.
"Your senior brothers came to the provincial capital to look for Master Tang. They are not asking him to return to Beijing to resume his post, are they?"
Xu Qingye pursed his lips and smiled, then touched her head and said, "You are so smart."
Song Yuntang thought about it.
There are actually only six or seven months between the Autumn Examination and the Imperial Examination. Even if you don't go this year, you will have to go there early next year.
The results are usually announced one month after the autumn examination.
That is September 19th.
The day after the results were announced, there was a Lu Ming Banquet hosted by the governor.
Even if Xu Qingye wanted to leave, it would be almost October.
It's just leaving two months early.
Go earlier, meet more people, learn more, and maybe next year's examination will go more smoothly.
Thinking of this, she looked at Xu Qingye.
"Anyway, you will be back in May next year. After the results are announced, you can go to the capital with Master Tang. The situation in Anyang County is not good right now. I promised Master Le Wu to help him look after the situation here. There are so many relatives and friends at home. If both of us are not here, I am worried that something will happen and we will miss it. Even if we want to go, we have to wait until the situation here stabilizes."
Xu Qingye looked at her for a long time, nodded and said, "Okay."
Song Yuntang leaned forward and kissed him.
"Go to sleep first, don't carry it anymore."
After Xu Qingye fell asleep, Song Yuntang asked Xia Ning to slow down the carriage a little.
An hour later, the carriage arrived at the farm.
Yuntang got off the carriage, took a small hoe and dug out four jars of peach wine from under a thriving peach tree.
She uncorked one of the jars and took a sniff, only to smell the aroma of wine.
There are quite a few buried under the peach trees.
If you wait a little longer, the taste should be more mellow than it is now.
"Xianing, go on."
Song Yuntang said this and threw one of the jars of wine to Xia Ning.
Xia Ning also liked to take a sip when he had nothing to do, but because he had to follow her closely for protection every day, he was afraid of delaying things, so he never dared to drink too much outside.
I'm going back to Lushan Village today, so it's okay to have a drink.
Xia Ning looked at Song Yuntang in surprise.
"For a subordinate?"
Song Yuntang smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's for you."
Xia Ning pulled out the cork and took a smell. The aroma that came to her face immediately aroused her craving for wine.
"What a fragrant wine." She closed the cork again and looked up at Song Yuntang, "Thank you, Master."
Song Yuntang smiled, greeted the people on the farm, and got on the carriage with three jars of wine.
"Let's go back to Lushan Village first."
Xia Ning responded, jumped on the carriage and drove towards Lushan Village.
As soon as he got home, Xu Wencheng hurried to help move the things from the carriage into the house.
"Sister-in-law, did you bring all this wine from the farm?"
Song Yuntang nodded, "I brought it from the farm, Wencheng, you can bring me one jar later."
Xu Wencheng responded.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Song Yuntang thought about it.
"Forget it, I'll go by myself and take grandma's pulse while I'm at it."
During the past six months, Mrs. Hu had some health problems. Fortunately, she always paid attention to it and discovered it early so that she could get medicine to stabilize her condition.
Otherwise, his already weakened body might not even last a year.
Seeing this, Xu Qingye took the jar of wine that Song Yuntang had just picked up.
"I'll go with you."
"Okay." Song Yuntang said, looking towards the kitchen, "Dad, Mom, let's go to the old house and be back soon."
Jiang's voice came from the kitchen.
"I thought you would come back yesterday, so mom cooked a table and invited your grandparents and uncle's families to our house. But you didn't come back, so we ate by ourselves. I didn't know you would come back today, otherwise I would have cooked a few more dishes."
"If your grandparents haven't eaten yet, bring them home to eat."
Song Yuntang and Xu Qingye responded and went to the old house together.
"Grandpa, grandma, have you eaten?"
Mrs. Hu, who was picking vegetables, straightened up with difficulty. When she saw Xu Qingye and Song Yuntang, her face was immediately filled with surprise.
"It's Qingye and his granddaughter-in-law. Come in quickly. Grandpa and grandma haven't eaten yet. Have you eaten yet?"
Song Yuntang walked into the yard with a smile.
"We haven't yet either. Mom said grandpa and grandma haven't eaten yet, so she asked you to come to our house."
Xu Qingye put the jar of wine directly into the house.
Xu Yuande looked into the room and swallowed.
"You just come, what else do you need to bring? It doesn't cost any money."
Mrs. Hu looked at his expression, covered her mouth and laughed, "You're drooling, but you're still being stubborn."
Xu Yuande smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Qingye, did the Autumn Examination go smoothly this time?"
Xu Qingye nodded, "Everything is fine."
While the grandfather and grandson were talking, Song Yuntang took Hu's pulse.
"Did you take the pills I made for grandma as I told you to?"
Hu smiled kindly.
"I've been eating just as you told me, not missing a day."
"That's good. I'll prepare some more for grandma later." Song Yuntang took his hand back. "It's getting late. Grandpa and grandma, come with us to eat at home. Mom will have the food ready soon."
As she spoke, she helped Hu up.
He suddenly thought of something and looked around the yard again.
"Isn't Nian'er here with grandpa and grandma?"
