Reborn Farmhouse's Small Restaurant [Wears Book]

Chapter 116

Seeing that Du Qingchen didn't mention this, Master Xia began to worry about whether what he said just now was a bit serious. What if the Du family didn't plan to propose marriage at all? What if he misunderstood what he meant by saying that he looked down on his friends?

Master Xia naturally knew that Du Rulin was from a low background, but Du Rulin was talented! Moreover, he has a smart mind, acts in a measured manner, and has a clear mind. Du Rulin had asked Min Anshi to teach him before, so he found an opportunity to plead with him. At that time, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to plead with him. Confess, tell all your plans and thoughts.

Master Xia was not only surprised by Du Rulin's scheming and daring at such a young age, but also moved by Du Rulin's sincerity towards him. This child was afraid that he, the real teacher, would feel uncomfortable.

Such a lover! Such a disciple! Such filial piety to him, and smart child! Master Xia appreciates it!

Comparatively speaking, Liu Tai and Qiu You, who were also asking for advice from Min Anshi, never saw them come to plead guilty! Du Rulin also said that he came to plead guilty on behalf of the three of them, but he didn't come if he didn't come. Although Master Xia didn't have any opinion on the other two, his affection for Du Rulin did increase slowly until he could ignore it. Du Rulin's origin.

Such a good child, smooth, bold, smart and talented, just look at Du Qingchen, and know that Du Rulin will not be bad in the future, then add another handsome, promising future, no money is nothing! What does it mean to be born in the countryside? You can marry your own child or something!

Moreover, looking at Du Qingchen's love for his husband, Master Xia felt that his younger brother was like an older brother, and his brother's life would not be bad in the future. Thinking of this, he was even more satisfied with Du Rulin. It's just a little question of family background and property. Master Xia doesn't think it's a big deal. His family is also rich! Although he is no longer an official, the Xia family's background is still quite rich, and they can accompany more dowry to prevent the children from suffering.

Master Xia glanced at him, seeing that Du Qingchen really didn't respond, his heart sank, and finally he couldn't bear the love of his disciple and his son-in-law, and said, "It's not that I don't plan to seek it out, but I think it's better for the child to marry someone who is familiar with him. , In this way, there are also some feelings, and the husband and

the one of them?

Master Xia continued: "In short, take your time and watch!"

Du Qingchen nodded thoughtfully, why did he think it was Master Xia who was pointing at him? Are you implying that he proposes a kiss for Du Rulin? Could it be that I think too much... or wait until Du Rulin finishes the exam, ask him what he means, and then make plans!

After the examination house bell rang, Du Qingchen and his party went home, waiting for Du Rulin and the others to finish the examination and then pick him up.

Three days later, in front of the entrance of the examination institute, all the candidates were seriously ill, and each of them walked out of the examination institute in embarrassment and exhaustion. Father Du was worried that Du Rulin had been sitting and resting in the small examination room for the past few days. There was hot soup in the carriage, which was warmed on a small stove, waiting for the three people who came out to drink it.

Juren exam is different from Xiucai or Tongsheng, and the length of the exam is not something that ordinary people can withstand.

"Come out!" As soon as Father Du saw Du Rulin's figure, he immediately stepped forward and trotted over to take Du Rulin's back basket. Du Rulin's face was pale, and it seemed that he had been very hard these days.

Du Qingchen stepped forward to pick up Liu Tai and Qiu You's backs and said, "Quick! Drink some hot soup in the car to slow down."

"Thank you, Brother Du." , the Du family swarmed around Du Rulin. He and You Qiu were the only ones beside Du Qingchen, but there was nothing to say. After all, Du Rulin was the Du family!

Du Qingchen raised his hand and rubbed Liu Tai's head.

Everyone went back home, let the three teenagers wash and eat something, and let them go back to the house to rest. It was not until the next day that the three men recovered and became more energetic.

Du Qingchen asked about the exams of the three as usual. This time, the three of them looked at each other and didn't speak. Master Xia was also in the Du family's house and said, "The exam for juren is different from that of Xiucai. This is the exam that truly selects talents for the country. The amount of questions is huge, and the questions are tricky, so it's okay to be unsure. You cross a threshold every other year, and if it's so easy for even a scholar to pass by, how can the scholars all over the world be embarrassed?" The

three of them lowered their hands. should be.

"Beware of arrogance and impatience, just wait for the list with peace of mind." Master Xia said.

Du Qingchen said: "Master, the three of them have now finished their exams. Before, Liu Tai told Qiu You that he wanted to go back to his hometown to take a look. What do you think?"

Liu Tai and Qiu You have been away from home for almost two years. , I really have been homesick for a long time. I used to prepare for the exam, and Confucius Xia's schoolwork schedule was tight, so I didn't go back. Now that the exam has also been taken, I can't continue with the intense schoolwork before!

Master Xia pondered for a moment, "Since you want to go back, then go back! If you get hit, the officers will go to your village to inform you, and you don't need to stay here forever.

" Notice, but the lifter will.

Liu Tai and Qiu You were overjoyed and quickly thanked Master Xia.

"I heard that you are going to the capital in a few days?" Master Xia asked Du Qingchen.

"Yes, the whole family will go together. My husband's family has a brother who is getting married in the capital. We are going to marry him."

Master Xia pondered and nodded, "It's just when the list is out..." , but there is no messenger to deliver the letter.

"I have already entrusted my friends. After the list is released, I will pass the letter to us by pigeons, so that I can learn the news." Du Qingchen said.

Confucius Xia sighed, "Alright, if I succeed this time, if I just stay, I can also take the examination at the Imperial College." Confucius Xia showed reluctance.

Du Qingchen was stunned for a moment and said, "Don't you have to come back and continue studying with the Master?" So fast!

Master Xia said, "What else are you doing with me? I'm just a jinshi, and the real masters in the Imperial Academy are truly famous teachers. If you can pass the examination, you will be qualified to take the Imperial Academy even if you come from ordinary backgrounds, but... the Imperial Academy is extremely difficult to pass the examination. There are so many people in the whole country, how many people can be admitted to the Chinese Zijian?" It

is extremely difficult for scholars from ordinary backgrounds to pass the examination, but the sons of powerful and powerful people can enter directly with the protection of their ancestors. But even so, Guozijian is the most desirable institution for scholars in the world.

Master Xia turned to Liu Tai and Qiu You, "And the two of you, after visiting relatives, you should also go to the Guozijian to have a try. There is no limit to learning. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If you want to study, you should work hard and try to get middle school when you are young, or you should enter the officialdom as soon as possible and show your ambition."

"Yes, follow the Master's teachings."

"After returning to the hometown, you must also study hard and study hard. There are 100 children, but there are thousands of juren who go to the Imperial College Examination every year, so you must not relax."

"What if you don't pass the exam?" Zhongjuren is not so sure about it, so he still has to go to the Imperial College and compete with so many people who are also juren? !

Master Xia glared, "If you don't pass the test, come back and I'll continue teaching you! What else can you do? Let you go home and study on your own?" It's also possible to get bald.

Liu Tai bowed his head and complained secretly, there is no limit to learning, when will it end?

Du Qingchen's eyes flickered, "I heard that Guozijian can use the face of a powerful person to enter directly?"

"Of course there is, but the Guozijian doesn't give face to everyone, just the son of a dignitary. If it is a relative, but Maybe you don't give this face, you still need to take the exam yourself. For example, your relative, Marshal Qi, a scholar of the Qi family is just fine, but he is a military general. It's useless."

Master Xia was in the provincial capital, so he could hear the news that he should have heard, so when Du Qingchen asked this, he knew what Du Qingchen wanted to do.

Du Qingchen waved his hands quickly and said, "I believe in the three of them, we don't do it by chance..."

"But we don't believe in ourselves..." Liu Tai said faintly.

Du Qingchen: ...

Young man, the sea of ​​stars is waiting for you! Be more confident!

In the evening, Du Qingchen entered Du Rulin's house and wanted to chat with him about marrying a wife. Du Qingchen sat on a chair in Du Rulin's house and looked around. Books or articles written by him were piled up everywhere. Paper inkstones and the like, Du Rulin poured tea for his brother and sat silently beside him.

Du Rulin is having a headache! If he passed the exam this time, wouldn't he have to take the imperial examination directly in the capital? If he passed the exam, wouldn't he be separated from Xia Zijin? !

What about the daughter-in-law! The future, or the daughter-in-law, how to have both, this is really a problem.

Du Rulin glanced at his elder brother. Although he proposed a marriage now, Master Xia might dislike his background and the small wealth of the family in the future, and even if he didn't get the fame, it would be even more troublesome to drag it on!

I just don't know what my brother suddenly came to talk about with him! Du Qingchen came here with such a gesture, obviously he was here to talk to him.

Du Qingchen took a sip of tea and asked directly, "How confident are you in this exam? Just say it straight, you don't have to be humble, there are no outsiders here." The meaning of taking advantage of the opportunity, after all, Master Xia, he is also a scholar! Although they were in a hurry for a while, their family background was also high.

Du Rulin swallowed his saliva, "Nine... Ninety percent? I have been very attentive this year. Even Mr. Min said that this time, I have a great hope of passing the exam."

Du Qingchen nodded and pondered for a while. , "Min Anshi...Isn't he deliberately trying to make you happy?" I always felt that his words had little credibility! In order to have a good relationship with Du Rulin, it is not impossible to make him happy on purpose!

"No, no!" Du Rulin waved his hand quickly, "He also expects me to become an official in the court, so that he can create opportunities for him to return to the court in the future! Just relying on Su Nuan's relationship, Min Anshi can't count on it at all. What he thinks is that when I enter the court, I will definitely be on the line with Qi Cheng, and when someone helps me, I will definitely be able to rise to the top, and then I can help him, so he has always taught me very carefully."

Du Qingchen understood, "So, are you sure you can pass it?"

Du Rulin struggled, "The questions are too convoluted, there is no such dictation question at all, and I can't say it." It was obvious that there was still dictation in the previous exam, but this time it was not. There is no one, and even the opportunity to copy the book is not given. All have to add their own opinions in order to answer. How does he know that his opinion can be appreciated by the examiner?

Du Qingchen nodded and went straight to the subject, "I think, before you go to Beijing, you can book a marriage for you, so as not to cause any trouble after entering Beijing, you don't understand, you are good-looking, and you are a scholar, in case I was taken in by the unassuming brothers and sisters, and there was no reason to refuse."

The most important thing is, how good is the Xia family brother! Not only is he gentle and literate, he comes from a well-rounded family, and he is also down-to-earth. Because Master Xia was demoted, he also suffered hardships along with him, and he would get along well with Father Du, and would not despise his relatives. What if Du Rulin goes to Beijing and takes the exam, and he is admitted to the Chinese Zijian, and he can't come back, what can this relative say? It's better to make it early, make a reservation first!

Du Rulin stood up abruptly in surprise, "Brother, I...I..." Can I choose it myself!

Du Qingchen has already said to himself: "I have helped you choose, I see the meaning of that side, and I am willing, after all, I was hinted before, so I will ask you, if you are willing, I just..."

What the hell? ! The other party is so active? That must not be his teacher!

Du Rulin's face sank instantly, and said, "I don't agree."

"Don't want to get married?" Du Qingchen was helpless, he knew there was such a possibility, but he would not force his younger brother, he was still a very open-minded parent. of.

Du Rulin sat down with a cold expression, "How can such a big event as a marriage be easily settled? It's better to use more thought, take it slow, and settle it slowly."

Du Qingchen nodded and said helplessly, "Okay, you can decide for yourself. Well, a man of your age! He is indeed still young, maybe because he is a little repelled to have a biological child, I forced it, but I really think that the other party is very good, so I thought of setting it up for you first, that is, I am here Here, otherwise, isn't it good for Liu Tai and Qiu friend? Why do I have to find you!"

Du Rulin turned his head, "Brother, don't worry about this, I'm not in a hurry? I'll talk about this after I pass the exam, okay? Seeing

his brother's objection, Du Qingchen also said, "Okay, fortunately, Master Xia only hinted, and I didn't answer the question, and I didn't express this meaning, otherwise, there would be no face to see Master Xia and Brother Xia." Son?"

Du Rulin froze, turned his head inch by inch, his voice trembling slightly, "Who... are you talking about?"

"Forget it, you don't plan to get married now anyway, don't mention this, it's not good if it gets out. , when you are selected and you are admitted to the Imperial College, I will ask someone to look for those scholarly families around the capital for you, and they are not too high-profile people, it is also a good match, but it is a pity..." There is the most suitable one, and I am familiar with it. I will talk about kissing in the future, but there is no chance for two people to develop their feelings. That is really blind marriage and dumb marriage.

"Brother...I think I can..."

"That's it, then I'll go first and have a good rest." Du Qingchen got up.

"Brother!" Du Rulin shouted, his voice almost broken.

Du Qingchen was taken aback and turned around quickly, "What's wrong?"

"Brother, I think you're right, I'm not too young, the so-called family and business, must first start a family and then start a business, I can go to the scientific examination with peace of mind, Father and brother can also feel more at ease with me." Du Rulin said with a sullen face.

"You...changed your mind very quickly?" Du Qingchen wondered.

"Not happy!" Du Rulin hurriedly shook his head, and continued with a serious face: "The teacher has given me such a heavy hand, since he is interested, how can I refuse?! Naturally, it is different from others! Besides, the Xia family elder brother is elegant and gentle, My father and brother have a good impression of him, and I think they will get along very well in the future. I can also not worry about my inner life and study with peace of mind."

Du Qingchen frowned, "Why do I think you don't mean this? I think too much. Is it?"

Du Rulin looked innocent, "Brother, you think too much."

Du Qingchen hesitated for a moment, and seemed to realize something, "Don't you... have something to do with the Xia family brother?" Du Qingchen narrowed his eyes .

On the eve of the exam... What's the difference between this and a student who is about to take an exam in the third year of high school? ! The little brat wants to be beaten!

"How?! Brother, are you questioning my character?!" Du Rulin tightened his body and glared at Du Qingchen.

"No, no." Du Qingchen saw that Du Rulin seemed to be angry, so he didn't go into it, and said, "Are you sure you want to marry the Xia family brother, Xia Zijin, let's figure it out first!"

Du Rulin nodded heavily, "Please help my brother. I propose a marriage."

Du Qingchen stared at Du Rulin for a long time, and didn't see anything wrong, so he let go of Du Rulin and nodded, "Okay! Before I go to the capital, I will mention this to Master Xia."

Du Rulin almost restrained He couldn't help smiling, and quickly tightened himself and said, "Then brother, you have to speak slowly, if the master dislikes me, you have to say more good things about me, don't turn around and come back, you will pay more. Smiley."

Du Qingchen turned his head and squinted, "I still think something is not right, you really had nothing to do with Xia Zijin before?"

"The pure brother-in-law relationship is just acquaintance." Du Rulin hurriedly stood upright and answered firmly.

Du Qingchen hesitated for a while, but turned around and left. Inside the house, Du Rulin covered his mouth, so as not to make a loud noise and jump three feet high.

Oye!
