Chapter 385

....
385 The imperial examination is very important
The next day, li Muyan didn’t listen to his unreliable mother and sneaked out.
He didn’t go out often, not because he was sick or embarrassed.
On the contrary, he was in good health and good-looking. The girls who had seen him all liked him.
He had a bad habit, according to the Warlock, that he was unlucky and could not go out often.
His courtyard was personally decorated by a famous Warlock to bless him with good luck.
In any case, strange things would happen every time he sneaked out. For example, during the Lantern Festival a few days ago, he just wanted to see the lanterns, but he was chased by three ferocious dogs for no reason.
But this time, no matter what, he had to go out and find that girl, even if he was chased by the dog again.
……
On the Gu family’s side, they had already completed the land reclamation and were now preparing the seeds.
The other families had already started to prepare for the spring plowing after the beginning of spring. The Gu family was slightly later, but they were not worried. After all, everyone in the family was a strong laborer.
Other than digging potatoes, Gu shouxin was always stared at by the whole family while he read. Even Zhang Shi would often carry shinren over to see if Gu shouxin was reading seriously.
In Zhang Shi’s view, the second brother was not reliable. Who knew if he was deliberately pretending for a few months and was about to make a fool of himself again?
It was very important for second brother to take the imperial examination.
If the second child got a scholarly honor, her Enzi might be able to go to a better school. If the second child got a better score, her Ninja would be able to go to a better school when it was time to study.
Now that the second household was able to earn money on their own, she was not worried that the old couple would secretly favor the second household and give the second household silver.
In any case, without the problem of money, she could still get along well with her second son’s family. Although she still felt that the two girls of the second branch were the same as her own two girls, not as precious as her two sons, it did not stop her from looking forward to her second son’s high school.
She even thought that it would be great if her second son didn’t have any sons for the rest of his life. She had two sons. If she let her second son adopt one, then wouldn’t his things belong to her?
She also told herself that as long as Cai Xiaolian didn’t give birth to a son, she must stand on Cai Xiaolian’s side. In the future, when the second child became successful and wanted to take in a concubine after seeing that he didn’t have a son, she, as the elder sister-in-law, must teach the second child a good lesson.
Of course, the Gu family did not know about her strange thoughts and were all busy.
All the potatoes had been dug out. Gu Nian asked Lu Zheng to pile them up in the empty room at home. She would teach him how to plant them in a few days.
Lu Yang did as he was told and gave the Gu family and the second branch a hundred pounds of potatoes each.
Grandma Gu brought uncle Gu to plant the crops that they usually planted while Gu Nian brought Lu Zheng and fourth uncle Gu to plant sweet potatoes and corn.
The sweet potatoes needed to grow, so Gu Nian brought them to do so first.
Because of his trust in the Gu family, Lu Zheng brought all the sweet potato and corn seeds that old master Zhou had left.
Gu Nian planned to interbreed and plant these two in the newly opened wasteland.
Grandpa Gu and Zhang Shi cooked for everyone every day, while Cai Xiaolian and the other three sisters prepared the Li family’s order.
Knowing that the second branch was going to pay the two girls, Zhang Shi did not urge the two sisters to work. Every day when she got up, she let the two sisters go to the second branch to work. She happily guessed in her heart how much the second branch was going to pay the two girls. In any case, it couldn’t be too little, or she would make a fuss.
