Farming in another world to make a fortune

The county examination started on February 26 and finished on the [-]th, and the final crime was scheduled for February [-].

Yu Zhou brought Jin Chuan and Xiao Chenchen back home the next day after the exam.

In the next few days, the family of three stayed in their own small yard, and didn't go anywhere. Anyway, there was food at home, and the vegetables in the small vegetable garden in the yard were enough for them to eat.

People in the village didn't know whether it was because Li Zheng had mentioned it or for other reasons, and no one came to their house to ask questions. Except for a few people from the Chen family who came over occasionally, there were no other guests.

As for the Chen family, if Yu Zhou didn't say anything, they wouldn't take the initiative to mention things related to the exam.

A few days passed quickly, and on the afternoon of the 25th, Yu Zhou took Jin Chuan and Chen Chen to the town again.It's just that this time he didn't live in the He Mansion, but in the teahouse he had hoped for earlier.

On the way to the town, Yu Zhou carried Chenchen in his arms, while Jinchuan carried the goat milk that Chenchen drank at night and the things she needed.

Seeing her husband holding his son on the road, looking here and there, like strolling in the garden, Jin Chuan still couldn't hold back, and casually mentioned something related to the exam, "My husband is very concerned about the admission of the county exam. Is there any guessing about the ranking?"

Yu Zhou cast a sideways glance at Jin Chuan, then looked at the son in his arms, and said with a smile, "I thought your father would keep his mouth shut."

Jin Chuan snorted softly, "Isn't this going to happen soon? I wonder if the result of my husband's guess will be the same as the result of the county test, can't I?"

"Okay, okay," Yu Zhou responded with a smile, but then changed his voice and asked, "Aren't you worried that I won't be admitted?"

Jin Chuan raised his chin proudly, "Not to mention my confidence in my husband's knowledge, but based on my understanding of my husband, if I feel that I failed the exam, how can I live so leisurely these few days?"

Yu Zhou laughed a few times with a 'haha', stretched out a finger for Chenchen who was scratching and scratching with his little hand, and then said: "Although I don't know all the scholars who participated in the county examination this time, but As long as the knowledge is not too bad, most of them have been exposed to various places in the past two years, and combined with the difficulty of the county examination questions this time."

At this point, he deliberately paused, and then continued: "If there are no accidents, Yunqi should be the top case. Wen Liang is still young, but he has good knowledge, and should be around ten."

Jin Chuan raised his eyes to look at Yu Zhou, his eyes were full of helplessness, "My husband has said so much, but he didn't talk about himself."

"My words..." Yu Zhou said slowly, "The top ten should be stable."

Jin Chuan's eyes widened suddenly. He knew his husband very well. Before he formally studied with Master Wen two years ago, although he could write well and could write exciting scripts, he didn't care if his knowledge was a mess. Pass.Only the "Four Books" that the scholar memorized first, his husband couldn't completely memorize it.

In the past two years, he certainly knew how hard his husband studied, but it was only two years.

If this makes him into the top ten of the county examination and enjoys a higher honor than those admitted in the ordinary county examination, I am afraid that many scholars will be envious or even jealous.

He hadn't forgotten the summit meeting two years ago, but some people felt that his husband wasn't even qualified to participate.

But after thinking about it, if he really entered the top ten in the county, his name would be in the front row of the long case, and the scenery would be infinite.

Yu Zhou watched Jin Chuan's expression gradually change from shock at the beginning to worry, and at the end he thought of something, fixed on secret joy, and said deliberately: "I haven't spoken for so long, is it because I don't believe in your husband's ability?"

"Of course not," Jin Chuan said without hesitation, "I just think...husband, you are really amazing." When he said the latter sentence, Jin Chuan deliberately used an exaggerated tone of admiration.

Yu Zhou sighed intentionally, "I thought if Fu Lang didn't believe me, we could make a bet."

Looking at his expression, Jin Chuan knew that he was planning some bad idea, and he also made a very regretful expression, "That's really a pity."

The two chatted and laughed, Chenchen didn't make a fuss, and soon arrived in the town.

Knowing that Yu Zhou would come this afternoon, He Yunqi specially took Xiao Zhu to wait in the teahouse.

Therefore, as soon as Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan stepped into the gate of the teahouse, the waiter stepped forward and said, "Mr. He is waiting for you in the private room upstairs, and the upper room has already ordered us to keep it. May I ask you two to go to the guest room or the private room first?" .”

Although Chenchen fell asleep on the way, Yu Zhou and the others still carried a large bag of things for Chenchen, so he said without thinking, "Let's go to the guest room and put down the things."

"Then I'll show you the way." The man responded with a smile and didn't say much.

After Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan put everything in the room, they changed a diaper for their son, and when they came out again, the clerk was still waiting outside the door.

Yu Zhou has been here several times, and the private rooms are all on the second floor. In fact, as long as the clerk tells him where it is, he can find it by himself.

He was taken all the way to the door of the private room, and the assistant opened the door for him. After seeing the people in the private room, Yu Zhou realized why the assistant was so enthusiastic today.

Because apart from He Yunqi and Xiao Zhu, Zhou Ning was also waiting inside.

In the past two years, Yu Zhou and He Yunqi got closer and closer, so he naturally knew more about the Zhou family.

Although Zhou Ning is the older brother, he is the only older brother in the Zhou family and the youngest son. He is very much loved by the elders in the family, and he also has a hand in the family property.For example, Zhou Ning is almost in charge of the teahouse they often come to.

Even if Zhou Ning marries into the He family in a few days, the properties he manages will probably be married to Zhou Ning as a dowry.

After they greeted each other, Zhou Ning leaned over to Jin Chuan, and couldn't help touching Chen Chen, who was bubbling in his sleep.

Seeing his expression, Jin Chuan really liked him, so he simply hugged Chen Chen to him.

Seeing this, Yu Zhou frowned at He Yunqi and said, "I'm waiting for us here today, do you have anything to say?"

"There is indeed something to say." He Yunqi rarely showed a bit of embarrassment.

Yu Zhou originally asked casually, but he didn't expect something to happen, so he sat up straight and asked, "What's the matter?"

He Yunqi glanced at Zhou Ning who was hugging Chenchen beside him, and said with a smile: "The date of our marriage has been fixed, it will be the 22nd of next month."

"Congratulations." Yu Zhou answered immediately.

Jin Chuan also congratulated Zhou Ning in a low voice.

However, when the husband and wife thought about it, they both guessed that this date was probably set by the He family and Zhou's parents long ago, and they only told him after the He Yunqi county exam was over.

After all, it has been almost two years since the marriage between He Yunqi and Zhou Ning was decided, and the parents of both parties must have prepared the things that should be prepared long ago.

I have never been married, and at first I was waiting for Zhou Ning to become an adult.When Zhou Ning became an adult, he probably waited for the results of the county examination to come out.

Yu Zhou thought a little deeper than Jin Chuan. The He family had studied for generations, and their roots were deeply rooted here. Tomorrow morning is the time to commit the crime.The He family wanted to know in advance whether their family members had been admitted, and what their rankings were. It was definitely not a problem in the lowest-level exams like the county exam.

However, before the matter was announced, Yu Zhou would not say it, and only congratulated He Yunqi once again.

The date of He Yunqi and Zhou Ning's marriage was fixed, and less than a month later, the two of them wanted to meet again, probably after the results of the county examination came out, and they tried their best to meet once.

So that night, the two of them tacitly used the reason of accompanying Yu Zhou's family to eat, and had dinner together in the teahouse.

But as soon as the meal was over, the two left, and He Yunqi sent Zhou Ning home.

Yu Zhou also went back to the room with his son in his arms. Seeing the two people walking out of the tea house side by side, he couldn't help but shook his head and said with a smile, "Looking at Yunqi's current appearance, it's really hard to imagine. At first, he would think that Mr. Zhou took the initiative to propose marriage, which is a trouble for him."

The stairs going upstairs are a bit narrow, Yu Zhou hugged Chen Chen, and Jin Chuan fell behind him, not walking side by side.Hearing what he said, he suddenly complained: "Then you didn't just let me live in your house?"

Yu Zhou opened his mouth, originally wanting to say that you yourself just wanted to excuse yourself at first, but the desire to survive made him swallow everything he wanted to say.

That night, Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan didn't go anywhere, and took Chen Chen to bed early to sleep.

It's just that I don't know if it's because I'm not used to living in a tea house, or because I'm worried about what happened the next day. Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan didn't fall asleep much the whole night.

On the contrary, Chenchen slept like a piggy and woke up less than at home.

As soon as Mao o'clock in the morning, Yu Zhou got up on time.After Jin Chuan noticed it, he also sat up with the quilt.

Yu Zhou frowned and said, "Didn't it be agreed? You take Chenchen and wait in the teahouse. After seeing the ranking, I will come back and tell you right away."

"I've been thinking about it all night, and I still want to go with you," Jin Chuan said while dressing, "Didn't Mr. He say yesterday that he would drive a carriage to pick you up later? There were a lot of people when the crime happened. , I took Chenchen and waited in the carriage."

Seeing his posture, Yu Zhou knew that it would be useless to stop him, so he nodded in response, "That's fine."

After the two hurriedly washed up, and when they arrived at the door of the teahouse with Chenchen in their arms, He Yunqi's carriage was already waiting.

From the tea house to the compound in front of the examination room, it only took a little longer than a stick of incense.

Therefore, when the few people arrived, it was not yet Mao Shizheng, but there were already many people waiting in the compound.

The time of the incident was set at Chenshi, and the day of Chen was branched, since Chen is a dragon, which also means that the announced list has the meaning of the dragon and tiger list.

Yu Zhou and the others came early, nearly half an hour before Chenshi, and the weather was cold, so they all waited in the carriage.

Only Xiaozhu, after two small circles around the carriage, raised the curtain of the carriage and said, "Master, I want to go to the front and wait."

"Go if you want." He Yunqi laughed.

Now Chenchen woke up too, he saw that Yu Zhou was having fun feeding Chenchen water and food, so he didn't care about Xiaozhu.

When it was close to Chen, a yamen servant pushed a rectangular wooden board to the front of the compound. The wooden board was covered by a piece of red silk, and inside was the ranking to be announced.

The scholars who were scattered in the compound waiting to read their grades all flocked to that place like birds returning to their nests.

Yu Zhou also gave Chenchen to Jinchuan, and got off the carriage with He Yunqi.

As soon as the time came, the blowers on both sides of the long case fired cannons. After a few sounds of "boom, boom, boom", the county magistrate pulled down the red silk covering the long case.

The crowd squeezed in even harder, Yu Zhou and He Yunqi exchanged glances, then stopped tacitly.

But they didn't see it, but a person who had already been in the front had helped them see the results.

Xiaozhu was young, and slipped out from behind the long case like a loach, and ran up to He Yunqi and Yu Zhou excitedly, before even tidying up his messy hair and crooked clothes, he panted and said: "I saw the ranking , the young master is the chief case in the county."

"Where's Brother Yu?" He Yunqi asked.

"I saw it too," Xiao Zhu said, "No.7."
