On the seventh day of February, Xizhao Kingdom's children's exams are held twice every three years.

Huquan Village had to travel half a day by horse-drawn carriage from the county seat, so Qu Zhong decided to take the children into the county seat two days in advance to prepare.

Although Qu Hongyu was no less knowledgeable than Liu Yong and the others, but he had a wild temper, and it was not suitable for him to end early, so Qu Zhong decided to pressure him for a few years to temper his temper.

So this kid still doesn't know about the fact that the senior brothers are going to rush for the exam. He just thinks that Qu Zhong is going shopping in the county town.

"Then can I buy a dog for Lingmo when I go to the county seat?"

On the rickety bullock cart, Qu Hongyu hugged Lingmo Dog tightly and asked Qu Zhong seriously.

Qu Zhong, who was driving the bullock cart, looked back at Lingmo Dog, and replied with a smile: "Then you can ask Lingmo."

The Lingmo dog drooped its ears, ignoring them without a temper.

Touching Qu Hongyu's bun with a smile, Liu Yong said gently: "If you want to buy it, you have to go back to the town to buy it. There are a lot of flowers in the county, so don't run around."

The 13-year-old Liu Yong has grown into a gentle and elegant young man, with a pair of slender peach blossom eyes full of warmth, and the gloomy energy from a few years ago has disappeared.

After the death of Village Chief Liu and his wife a few years ago, he also spent most of his time in Qu Zhong's house.

Based on the principle that raising one more child is also raising him, Qu Zhong also raised him as his son.

Except for Qu Zhong, the few people listened to Liu Yong's words the most. At home, he led his younger brothers to do things and review their homework.

"Second brother, I understand, I will hold Lingmo tightly."

Holding the rope tightly with his small hands, Qu Hongyu had a serious expression on his face, fearing that the Lingmo dog was too good-looking and would be photographed away in the street.

Lingmo Dog: "..."

In order to strengthen the children's safety awareness, Qu Zhong always tells them stories of various villains in different ways.

He even detailed the tragic fate of the abducted children, and Liu Song was so frightened that he had to hold on to someone tightly when he went out.

The effect is played, but it seems a bit overkill.

"Second brother is talking about you, not the dog." Liu Shi quickly pointed out the key point of Qu Hongyu's words, not understanding why the sixth brother couldn't even understand the words.

Gently waving the whip in his hand, Qu Zhong just smiled and watched the few people chatting, and had no intention of interrupting at all.

In fact, he didn't rank them in the order of elder brother and younger brother. The eldest brother and second brother were all arranged by the few people themselves.

Qu Hongyu was the youngest, so he naturally became the sixth child.

And Liu Shi, the oldest, has become the boss without hesitation, and he is the character who loves to nag a few people.

"It's the fourth brother, you didn't understand what Xiaoliu meant." Liu Song carried a small bookcase made by Qu Zhong himself on his back, and he thought he was giving advice to Liu Shi.

He felt that Liu Shi was stupid in reading, and he didn't even understand Qu Hongyu's metaphor.

Liu Shi scratched his head, seriously recalled what Qu Hongyu said, and finally shook his head helplessly: "What do you mean?"

"Fifth brother, I'm just afraid that the spirit ink will be lost, so there's no other meaning." Qu Hongyu looked at Liu Song inexplicably, not knowing what he meant.

Liu Song: "..."

"That may be because I think too much of you."

Following Qu Zhong's way of coughing lightly, Liu Song pressed his fist against his lips with a deep look.

Without turning his head, Qu Zhong knew that Liu Song's ears must be red now, but his mouth was still stiff.

This guy always likes to think about what other people say, and he can find out a few meanings of a good sentence.

In the past six years, the old people in the village have passed away one after another, and even Granny Qian didn't survive the winter after a cold, and went away.

Zhang and Liu Songwu were orphaned and widowed.

Zhang's natal family brought the two back to Zhangjia Village three years ago, and the Zhang family found Zhang a wealthy family and persuaded her to remarry.

After thinking about it again and again, Mrs. Zhang finally nodded and agreed, and took Liu Song to the family where she remarried.

But the other party was unwilling to accept the six-year-old child, and secretly sent him back to the Zhang family, where he did a lot of rough work and suffered a lot.

In the end, he emptied the private money that Qu Zhong gave him before leaving, and found someone to bring the letter back to Huquan Village.

Only then did everyone know what kind of life he was living in the Zhang family.

Qu Zhong drove the ox cart for a day and a night, and finally went to Zhang's house and spent 50 taels of silver to buy the child back.

They came back with Liu Song's contract of selling himself.

From then on, Liu Song was also registered under Qu Zhong's household registration and became his other "son."

"Teacher, do you think I'm right?"

Seeing that his own words could not convince the people on the opposite side at all, Liu Song hurriedly crawled behind Qu Zhong to find a helper.

"You're right." The bullock cart suddenly passed a steep slope, Qu Zhong hurriedly grabbed Liu Song's arm and told the people behind: "Sit still."

These disputes happened every day, and Qu Zhong didn't bother to talk to them.

"Father, you are biased." Seeing that Qu Zhong only pulled Liu Song, Qu Hongyu was dissatisfied, and he didn't even hug the Lingmo dog, and crawled behind Qu Zhong and hugged his left arm tightly.

Liu Song rolled his eyes in contempt: "Childish." But he took advantage of the opportunity and sat on the right side, hugging Qu Zhong's right arm.

The two are hanging tightly like two weights, one left and one right.

Liu Yong looked at the two "competing and jealous" dumbfoundedly, and he hurriedly led the Lingmo dog to him.

Since Liu Song returned to Huquan Village, he seemed to have changed a lot. Not only did he study hard, but he also became Qu Zhong's little tail.

"Since you guys are sitting here, let's recite the book."

While complaining about the slowness of the ox cart in his heart, Qu Zhong grabbed Qu Hongyu's neck while smiling.

"It's still far from the county seat, so I'd better go to bed first." Qu Hongyu shrank back, trying to escape Qu Zhong's palm.

"I'm sleepy too, I'll go to bed too." Liu Song quickly turned around and crawled to Liu Yong's side.

"Are you really sleepy?" Qu Zhong asked.

Seeing that no one answered for a long time, he turned his head and glanced at a few people, and then Qu Zhong flicked his whip in a fit of ridicule.

In the back of the car, apart from Liu Yong who was still sitting cross-legged, the other kids had already been lying on the ground in disorder, and Qu Hongyu even covered his face with his sleeves.

It seems that I am really afraid of endorsement.

However, the ears are finally quiet!

The ox cart was still walking slowly, and the three people who were pretending to be asleep gradually fell asleep, and Liu Song even snored.

Liu Yong dragged the thick quilts piled up on the bullock cart to cover them tightly, and then he closed his eyes and began to recite the book.

And Qu Zhong was also thinking about things in the county town.

He opened a restaurant in the county three years ago and named it Yingjun Pavilion. Because of its unique dishes and considerate service, it has already become the largest restaurant in the county.

This trip to the county was mainly for the children's exams, and secondly to discuss opening the restaurant in the county.

"Raising children is really hard enough." Qu Zhong muttered to himself with his chin sticking out.

"Teacher, what did you say?" Liu Yong asked suddenly behind him.

"It's nothing, I'm just settling accounts, you can continue to endorse."

"Oh!"

Compared with living casually in the last world, he still needs to think about these children in this world.

Not to mention anything else, the dowry money prepared for the marriage of these brats had to find a way to get the money out.

Six years ago, he began to buy houses and land in the counties and counties one after another.

It was also because of his luck that the land he bought in Danshan County four years ago found a silver mine, and he sold it to a rich family, earning a fortune.

Then he took the money and went around to buy houses and land.

Now the street near the county government in Binchuan County is all Qu Zhong's assets.

As for the real estate in Danshan County, he handed it over to the people in the imperial court for rent.

Therefore, although he has been living in the village, his current assets can be regarded as one of the best big families in the county.

He is a veritable landlord!

This time, he was going to the county town to collect last year's rent money.

Now what he is considering is whether to exchange these rented silver into bank notes for deposit, or to exchange them into gold and put them in the space.

After Liu Yong silently read the last sentence of "University", he stuffed Liu Song's outstretched hand back into the quilt.

"Teacher, shall we go to the restaurant or the house?"

"Go pick up Liu Zhou and Liu Shi first, and take a look at how they are doing."

Withdrawing his thoughts, Qu Zhong pulled a blanket to cover his legs, thinking in his heart that he must buy a carriage this time.

Liu Shi is a good-natured child, but he is not good at studying, and the more he reads, the more difficult he becomes.

He is the last one to leave every day and always the first one to come, but he is always the last one in the classroom when he takes the exam.

Later, it was Qu Zhong who found him first, and the two locked themselves in the study for an entire afternoon.

After he came out, Liu Shi decided to go to Yingjun Pavilion to learn his craft, starting as a waiter.

And Liu Zhou, a gluttonous kid, heard that Liu Shi could not go to school, and immediately clamored to go to the county to learn to cook.

In the end, Qu Zhong packed the two together and threw them to Yingjun Pavilion, starting as apprentices.

Rubbing the jade pendant on his waist, Liu Yong blinked twice, shook his head and smiled.

Qu Zhong has never told them what kind of business he is doing, and every time he asks, he always mentions it vaguely.

But looking at the things he prepared for the children, Liu Yong felt that they were not something ordinary people could afford.

Just look at the fine cotton cloth they are wearing now. According to Grandma Liu San, this cloth costs two taels of silver a piece.

And there is this jade pendant around his waist, which he got when he celebrated his birthday last year.

His name and zodiac are also engraved on it. This light green jade pendant has no impurities at all. Even a layman like him knows that this jade pendant is very valuable.

And this jade pendant, several other people also each have a piece.

Now almost everyone eats and sleeps at Qu Zhong's house.

In the past few years, they have been eating polished rice and white noodles, and they have never stopped eating all kinds of meat, not to mention all kinds of fruits that they have never seen before.

But Qu Zhong has never spoiled the children.

They cut the firewood at home, and they picked the water.

They grow the vegetables in the yard by themselves, and even feed the chickens, ducks and cattle in the backyard.

Sometimes Liu Yong would think that Qu Zhong must have been sent by God to save them.

The locust disaster three years ago was all due to the medicinal powder prepared by Qu Zhong, and the crops in Huquan Village were not harmed at all.

This person smelled only a little medicinal powder, so that none of the passing locusts could fly away alive.

The number of locusts that landed in Huquan Village was so large that it could overwhelm a person's calf, and the neighboring villages also saved their crops because of the powder.

After the death of Village Chief Liu, other people in the village elected Qu Zhong as the village chief, and even the villagers in the neighboring villages signed their fingerprints to express their agreement.

"Here, wake up the children."

Just as he was in a trance, Qu Zhong pushed his shoulder and pointed to the gate of the county seat ahead.

The three big characters of Binchuan County are shining in the sun.
