After Song Yuehua left the school, Zhang Rushan chased her out and asked, "I heard that you rent out rooms in the You Mansion?"
"You are well-informed." Song Yuehua said, "Why, you want to rent a house too?"
"That's right, one room is enough for me." Zhang Rushan said.
Song Yuehua asked curiously, "You are renting a house in the county town, what are you going to do?"
Zhang Rushan coughed lightly, turned back, and said mysteriously, "You will know when the time comes."
Song Yuehua, "..."
The Zhang family was very lively today. Song Yuehua brought the two Baos to congratulate them. Grandma Jin took out a bag of candies and shared them with the two Baos, making them laugh as she spoke.
"Erniu's family, this is a big wedding, shouldn't we set up a few tables and invite the villagers to have a meal and drinks?" Liu Erjie covered her mouth and joked with a smile.
The fat aunt who came with her didn't hesitate to hear her say that, "What time is it now? Don't you have any idea? Who has extra food to hold a banquet? If they hold a banquet, are you planning to sell your land to have a feast?"
This is a bit exaggerated.
Having lived in the same village for so many years, Tang knew who Liu Erjie and Aunt Pang were, so she was not surprised.
Tang brought tea to the two of them. "The price of food hasn't come down yet. Let's just deal with our own food and clothing first. Even if you pass the imperial examination, you don't have to eat."
Although they survived the drought, there was only enough water, and no new crops grew in the fields, so no household had any surplus food.
The government's disaster relief grain can at most ensure that you don't starve to death, but it's not something you can eat.
The Zhang family had no plans to hold a wedding banquet from the beginning.
Except for a few who don't keep their mouths shut, everyone can understand that passing the imperial examination is not a big deal. Being able to go to the host's house for a cup of tea is considered a happy occasion and is enough to make the villagers happy.
Song Yuehua gave Tang and Zhang three days off so that they could entertain the guests at home.
After Liu Erjie and Auntie Pang went back, Jiang came over. As soon as she entered the house, she took Tang's arm and whispered jokingly, "Well, I said Rushan must be the most talented man in our village."
Just as Tang was about to laugh, she winked at Jiang and looked towards the door. The person coming was Huang Fengjuan.
Jiang's voice was not loud, but it was still heard. Huang Fengjuan's face instantly turned bad, but after seeing Song Yuehua, she still forced a smile, "Daya is here too, the two little kids are so pretty, so white and tender."
Both Tang and Jiang widened their eyes. Huang Fengjuan relied on the fact that she had a son who was a virgin, and she never took the villagers seriously. This was the first time she heard good words from her.
Song Yuehua just smiled and responded.
Huang Fengjuan politely congratulated Tang. On such a festive day, Tang naturally put aside past grudges and responded with a smile.
Seeing that there were more and more guests at the Zhang family, Song Yuehua took Dabao and Xiaobao back first.
As soon as she walked out of the door, Huang Fengjuan chased her out and stopped her.
"Daya, my Ruyi is four years old this year. Can he also be sent to the village school?" When Huang Fengjuan said this, her expression was obviously a little awkward.
Song Yuehua said, "Okay."
Huang Fengjuan smiled and said, "I see that there are more and more students in our school. Should we find another teacher? Your brother Gu Qing is a student..."
"When it comes to school, just send the children directly to the school. As for the teachers, there are enough for the time being." After saying this, Song Yuehua nodded slightly and left.
Huang Fengjuan looked lonely.
Everyone in the village only knew that Zhang Rushan passed the examination and became a scholar. In fact, Gu Qing also took the exam, but failed again and again. She no longer had any hope.
Now the family's expenses all depend on the dowry given to her by the master's family, and they are about to run out of money. She wanted Gu Qing to find a job to earn some money for the family, but she didn't expect that he would act like a sick person when this matter was mentioned.
He also wanted Gu Qing to teach him, but since he failed the exam this time, he has locked himself in his room all day.
If my son is ruined, I cannot let my grandson be ruined as well.
After returning home, Huang Fengjuan looked at Liu Meiniang, who looked very old, and scolded her, "Has your husband eaten yet? He hasn't been out for a long time. He is useless and you don't know how to take care of him."
Liu Meiniang bit her lip and lowered her head. Huang Fengjuan pushed her hard, snorted, walked to the back, picked up the four-year-old Ruyi and said, "My dear grandson, grandma will take you to school. In the future, our little darling will be able to read and learn to write, and take the imperial examination, okay?"
Ruyi is chubby and it is a little difficult for Huang Fengjuan to hold her.
Song Yuehua had just returned home when Zhou Dafu came over and said that the headmen from the neighboring villages would come to congratulate her tomorrow and wanted to invite Master Yi to have a drink together.
I have to go to class tomorrow, and it will be too late to wait until the end of the school. Song Yuehua thought for a while and said, "Then I will tell Master Yi later that the school will be closed for a day tomorrow."
"Will this delay too much?" Zhou Dafu felt a little embarrassed.
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "It's not easy for the village to have a scholar, so it's only right for him to take a day off. However, Master Yi can't drink much, so Uncle Dafu will have to take care of him when the time comes."
"Of course." Zhou Dafu said with a smile.
After Zhou Dafu went back, Song Yuehua went over to say hello to Madam Xia and asked her to tell Master Yi.
"Then he will be very happy." Madam Xia said with a smile.
Song Yuehua nodded and said, "They are all heads of several nearby villages. They will probably want to send their children to the school. Master Yi doesn't need to care about this matter. Uncle Dafu will help speak for him."
After the two of them agreed, Song Yuehua returned home and took out paper and pen.
Now that Duan Yidao is back, her shop can finally be renovated. The question now is what kind of shop is better.
