Reborn Farmhouse Restaurant [Transmigration Book]

Master Xia saw that Du Qingchen didn't mention this anymore, but he 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 should I do if I misunderstood the meaning of his words and looked down on his friends?

Master Xia naturally knew that Du Rulin was from a low background, but Du Rulin was very talented!Moreover, he is smart, well-measured, and has a clear mind. Du Rulin had an opportunity to plead guilty to Min Anshi before because he needed to teach him. Frankly, I have said all my plans and thoughts.

Master Xia was surprised at Du Rulin's scheming and courage at such a young age, and was moved by Du Rulin's sincerity to him. The child was afraid that he, a real teacher, would feel uncomfortable.

So much love!Such a disciple!Such a filial piety to him, and a clever child!Master Xia appreciates it very much!

In comparison, Liu Tai and Qiu You, who also sought advice from Min Anshi, have never seen them come to plead guilty!Du Rulin also said that he came to plead guilty on behalf of the three of them, but if he didn't come, he didn't come. Although Master Xia didn't have any objections to the other two, his affection for Du Rulin did increase gradually until he could ignore it. Du Rulin's background.

Such a good kid, tactful, courageous, smart and talented, just looking at Du Qingchen, and knowing that Du Rulin will look good in the future, so let's add another one who is handsome, has a future, and no money is nothing!What is it to be born in the countryside!You can marry your own children or something!

Moreover, looking at Du Qingchen's love for Fu Lang, Xia Fuzi 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 matter of background and property, Master Xia thinks it's not a big deal, since his family is rich too!Although he is no longer an official, the Xia family's family background is still quite strong, so they can definitely send more dowry to accompany them, so as not to let the children suffer.

Xia Fuzi glanced and glanced, seeing that Du Qingchen really didn't respond, his heart sank, and finally he was reluctant to part with his beloved apprentice and son-in-law, and said: "It's not that I don't plan to find out, but I think it's better for the child to marry someone he knows well. , In this way, there are also some feelings, and the husband and wife can get along well in the future, strangers, forget it."

Du Qingchen was taken aback, and immediately realized, how many suitable young children of the right age could be around Mr. Xia, isn't his brother one of them?

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

Du Qingchen nodded thoughtfully, why did he feel that Master Xia was pointing at him?Is it implying that he proposes marriage for Du Rulin?Could it be that I was thinking too much... I'd better wait for Du Rulin to finish the exam, ask him what he meant, and then make plans!

After the bell of the examination hall rang, Du Qingchen and his party went home, waiting for Du Rulin and others to finish the examination before coming to pick him up.

Three days later, in front of the entrance of the examination institute, all the examinees were seriously ill, and they all walked out of the examination institute in a state of exhaustion. Hot soup was prepared in the carriage, warmed by a small stove, waiting for the three people who came out to drink.

The Juren examination is different from that of a scholar or a child. The length of the examination is not something that ordinary people can resist. The Du family is naturally worried that Du Rulin will not be able to bear it.

"Come out!" As soon as Du's father saw Du Rulin's figure, he immediately stepped forward and trotted over to take Du Rulin's pannier. Du Rulin's face was pale, and it seemed that the past few days had been very hard.

Du Qingchen stepped forward to pick up the baskets of Liu Tai and Qiu You, and said, "Hurry up! Drink some hot soup in the car and relax."

"Thank you, Brother Du." Liu Tai curled his mouth and looked like he wanted to cry. The Du family swarmed around Du Rulin. Du Qingchen was the only one beside him and Qiu You, but there was nothing to say. After all, Du Rulin was the only one beside him. It's the Du family!

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

Everyone returned home, let the three teenagers wash and eat something, and then let them go back to the house to rest. It was not until the next day that the three of them recovered, and their spirits were refreshed.

Du Qingchen asked the three of them about their exams as usual, but this time the three of them looked at each other without saying a word. Master Xia was also at Du's house, and said: "The exam for juren is different from that of a scholar. This is the exam that truly selects talents for the country. The amount of questions is large, and the questions are tricky, so it is right to be unsure. You pass a threshold every other year, if it is so easy to pass even the promotion of Jinshi, how can you let the scholars who study hard all over the world feel embarrassed?"

The three of them agreed with each other.

"Keep away from arrogance and impetuosity, just wait for the ranking with peace of mind." Master Xia said.

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

Liu Tai Qiuyou has been away from home for almost two years. Such a big child, he really misses home a long time ago. He used to prepare for the Juren exam, but Master Xia’s homework schedule was tight, so he didn’t go back. Now he is also taking the exam. I can't continue with the intense schoolwork I had before!

Master Xia pondered for a moment, "Since you want to go back, then go back! If you win, there will be guards in your village to inform you, and there is no need to stay here all the time."

Juren is different from a scholar. A scholar may not have servants come to your door to notify you one by one, but Juren will.

Liu Tai and Qiu You were overjoyed, and quickly handed over their hands to thank 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 send him off."

Master Xia pondered for a while, then nodded, "It's just that when the list is released..." After leaving Han County, there was no messenger to deliver the letter.

"I have entrusted my friend to send a message to us after the list is released, so that we can get the news." Du Qingchen said.

Xia Fuzi sighed, "That's fine, if you win this time, if you happen to stay, you can also be admitted to the Guozijian." Xia Fuzi showed reluctance.

Du Qingchen was taken aback, and said, "Don't you need to come back and continue studying with Master?" So fast!

Xia Fuzi said: "What else are you doing with me? I am only a Jinshi, the real famous teachers in the Imperial College, if you can pass the exam, you have the qualifications to be admitted to the Imperial College even if you come from an ordinary background, but... the Imperial College is extremely difficult , there are so many candidates in the whole country, how many of them can be admitted to the Chinese Zijian?"

It is extremely difficult for scholars from mediocre backgrounds to pass the exam, but the sons of powerful and powerful people can directly enter under the protection of their ancestors.But even so, Guozijian is also the most desirable school for scholars all over the world.

Xia Fuzi turned to Liu Tai and Qiu You, "And you two, after returning from visiting relatives, you have to go to the Imperial College to have a try. There is no limit to learning, if you don't advance, you will fall back. If you are lucky enough to win the exam, you must study hard and practice hard. Studying, you can work hard, strive to be successful when you are young, and you can enter the officialdom as soon as possible, and show your ambitions."

"Yes, I would like to follow my master's instruction."

"After returning to my hometown, I have to study hard. The Guozijian only recruits 100 poor scholars every year, but there are thousands of candidates who go to the Guozijian exam every year. We must not relax."

"Then what if you don't pass the exam?" Liu Tai, who had seen how difficult the Juren exam was, asked guiltily. compete? !

Xia Fuzi glared, "If you fail the exam, I will come back and I will continue to teach you! Otherwise, what can I do? Let you go home and study on your own?" Self-study and study, then when you will pass the exam, it is not certain, maybe in vain. Gray hair is also possible.

Liu Tai bowed his head, secretly complaining, learning is boundless, when will it end!

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

"Of course there are, but the Guozijian doesn't give face to everyone, even the sons of high officials and dignitaries. If there are other relatives, they may not give this face, and they still need to take the exam by themselves, such as your family. Relatives, Marshal Qi, and scholars of the Qi family are fine, but he is a general, and his recommendation letter is of no use to those literati in the Imperial College."

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

Du Qingchen quickly waved his hand and said, "I believe the three of them, we won't do it by opportunism..."

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

Du Qingchen: ...

Boys, the stars and the sea are waiting for you!Be confident!

In the evening, Du Qingchen entered Du Rulin's room and wanted to talk to him about marrying a wife. Du Qingchen sat on a chair in Du Rulin's room and looked around. There were books or articles written by him piled up everywhere. Paper inkstone and other things, Du Rulin poured tea for his elder brother, and then sat aside silently.

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

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

Du Rulin's eyes glanced at his elder brother. Although Master Xia might dislike his background and the lack of property in the future when he proposed marriage, and he didn't get any fame, it would be even more troublesome to delay it!

I just don't know what my brother suddenly came to talk to him about!Du Qingchen came forward with such a posture, it was obvious that he came to talk to him.

Du Qingchen took a sip of tea and asked directly: "How sure are you of this exam? You just say it, there is no need to be modest, there are no outsiders here." It means taking advantage of the opportunity, after all Master Xia is also from a scholarly family!Although it was difficult for a while, their family background was also high.

Du Rulin swallowed, "Nine...ninety percent? I have worked very hard this year. Even Old Min said that I have great hope of passing the exam this time."

Du Qingchen nodded, and pondered for a while, "Min Anshi...couldn't be trying to make you happy, right?" I always feel that his words have no credibility!It's not impossible to deliberately make him happy in order to build a good relationship with Du Rulin!

"No, no!" Du Rulin quickly waved his hand, "He still 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! Min Anshi can't count on Su Nuan's relationship alone. What he thinks is that if I enter the imperial court, I will definitely be on the same line with Qi Cheng, and when I have someone to help me, I will definitely be able to go straight to the sky, and only then can I help him, so he has always taught me very carefully."

Du Qingchen understood, "Then, are you sure you will win?"

Du Rulin struggled, "The questions are too convoluted. There is no such kind of dictation questions at all, so I can't say that." Obviously, there was dictation in the previous exams, but this time there was no one in the exam, and they were not even given a chance to copy the books. Add your own opinion to answer.How does he know whether his opinion can be appreciated by the examiner?

Du Qingchen nodded, and went straight to the point, "I think, book a marriage for you before you come to Beijing, so as not to cause any trouble after you come to Beijing, you don't understand, you are good-looking, and you are a scholar, in case Being spotted by some incomprehensible big brother or young lady, there is not even a reason to refuse."

Most importantly, brother Xia is so nice!Not only is he gentle, polite and literate, he comes from a great family, but he is also down-to-earth, because Xia Fuzi was demoted, and he has suffered along with him, and he will get along well with Du's father, and will not dislike his relatives here.Now, what if Du Rulin went to Beijing for the exam, passed the exam for the Chinese Academy, and couldn't come back, what would this relative say?It's better to mention it early, make an appointment first!

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

Du Qingchen had already said to himself: "I have already chosen for you. I see what they mean, and I am willing. After all, I have hinted that I am coming, so I will ask you. If you are willing, so I……"

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

Du Rulin's expression darkened instantly, and he said, "I don't agree."

"Don't you 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 enlightened parent overall.

Du Rulin sat down, with a cold expression on his face, "How can such an important event as marriage be settled so easily? It's better to put more thought into it, take your time, and settle it slowly."

Du Qingchen nodded, and said helplessly: "Okay, you can decide for yourself, a man of your age! He is indeed still young, maybe he is a bit repulsive to getting married and have children, I forced it, but I really think the other party is very good , I just wanted to make a decision for you first, that is, I am here, otherwise, isn’t it good for Friends Liu Taiqiu? Why do you have to find you!”

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

Seeing his younger brother's objection, Du Qingchen also said: "Okay, fortunately, Master Xia just hinted at it, and I didn't pick up the words, let alone express this meaning, otherwise, what face would there be to see Master Xia and Brother Xia?" ?”

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

"Forget it, anyway, you don't plan to get married now, don't mention this, it's not good if it gets out, after you win the exam and get admitted to the Imperial College, I will ask someone to find you those around the capital. It's a good match, but it's a pity..." There is a most suitable one in front of you, and you are still familiar with it. If you talk about kissing in the future, there is no chance for two people to develop feelings. That's true. It's really a blind 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 quickly turned around, "What's wrong?"

"Brother, I think you're right. I'm not young anymore. The so-called starting a family and starting a business must be done first, so I can go to the scientific examination with peace of mind, and my father and elder brother can feel more at ease with me." Du Rulin murmured road.

"You... have changed your mind very quickly?" Du Qingchen was puzzled.

"Not fast!" Du Rulin shook his head quickly, and continued to say with a serious face: "Teacher is so kind to me, since he is interested, how can I refuse?! Naturally, he is different from others! Besides, brother Xia is elegant and gentle, My father and elder brother have a good impression of him, and I think they will get along very well in the future, and I can study without worrying about the inner house."

Du Qingchen frowned, "Why do I think you don't mean that? Am I thinking too much?"

Du Rulin looked innocent, "Brother, you are overthinking."

Du Qingchen hesitated for a moment, as if he realized something, "You don't... you have something to do with brother Xia, right?" Du Qingchen narrowed his eyes.

On the eve of the scientific examination... How is this different from falling in love with a student who is about to take an examination in the third year of high school? !The little kid wants to be beaten!

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

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

Du Rulin nodded heavily, "Brother, please help me propose marriage."

Du Qingchen stared at Du Rulin for a long time, but he didn't see anything wrong after all, so he let Du Rulin go and nodded, "All right! I'll mention this to Master Xia before I go to the capital."

Du Rulin almost couldn't restrain his smile, so he tensed himself up quickly, and said, "Brother, you have to speak slowly, if Master despises me, you have to say more good things about me, and don't just turn around and come back. Make more smiles."

Du Qingchen turned his head and narrowed his eyes, "I still feel that something is wrong. Are you really okay with Xia Zijin before?"

"A pure teacher-brother relationship is just acquaintance." Du Rulin quickly stood up straight and answered firmly.

Du Qingchen struggled for a while, but turned around and left. In the room, Du Rulin covered his mouth to prevent him from making a sound from being too excited, jumping three feet high.

Oye!
