Lucky husband

In October last year, Bai Zhiwen married Li Mingjin in Zhongju.

At the end of October, Bai Zhiwen and Li Mingde went to the capital to prepare for the next year's exam. Bai Ting and Li Mingjin accompanied them to Beijing as family members, and Madam Qiu also accompanied them.

In March of this year, the first exam was held. Not long after the exam, some students reported cheating. The sixth prince found out that there was something wrong with the Liu family. The exam result was invalidated and the exam was repeated.

After the general examination, go through the palace examination and Hanlin selection hall normally.

When the Ministry of Officials sent officials, the Jin people came to Beijing.

Immediately afterwards, Li Mingjin suddenly became seriously ill. In order to see a doctor for Li Mingjin, Bai Zhiwen and the others went to Xishan Villa to find Dr. Hao, a genius doctor, following the doctor's advice.

No one knows whether Dr. Hao cured Li Mingjin's illness, because Li Mingjin was tied up by the golden man together with Princess Jing'an, Liu Yunqing and Bai Ting before she woke up.

Then, the prince joined forces with the Jin people to rebel, and the capital was in chaos.

Finally, by the time the results of their appointments for this new class of Jinshi came out, it was already the end of August of this year, and the Mid-Autumn Festival had passed.

They stayed in the capital for nine months, several months longer than expected. Sitting in the carriage and about to leave the capital, Bai Ting looked at Li Mingjin and Bai Zhiwen who sent them out of the city, her eyes were red.

Let’s say goodbye today, and I don’t know when we will meet again next time. Their respective husbands are officials in different places, and those with low ranks are not qualified to report to the capital. Maybe we have to wait until when Bai Zhiwen has family leave. When they return to their hometown, they will have a chance to meet each other.

Waving goodbye, the figures of Bai Zhiwen and Li Mingjin became farther and farther away from them, and finally became two small black spots under the majestic city wall of the capital. Bai Ting put down the curtains of the carriage and leaned against the wall of the carriage with a slightly disappointed expression.

Although they stayed in the capital for a long time, because of all kinds of things happening all the time, Bai Ting felt that the time passed very quickly, as if they had only arrived in the capital a few days ago and left today.

"It's okay, we will have a chance to meet in the future, don't worry." Li Mingde comforted her by wrapping her in his arms.

Quickly shaking off the sadness of parting from her head, Bai Ting thought about other things to distract herself: "Hey, when we go back, we have to talk to third uncle and third aunt about Brother Jin. He is sick and kidnapped. Don't talk about it, Brother Jin didn't mention that in his family letter."

"Naturally, there will be two incidents of cheating and the prince's rebellion. They should have heard of them in the county. Let's just talk about these two incidents then." Li Mingde nodded.

Now Zhiwen and Brother Jin are far away in the capital city, so far from Changping County. If they go back and say that Brother Jin suddenly fell ill and was kidnapped while he was ill, the third uncle and third aunt might not know what to do. Worried, of course it's best not to tell them anything.

Li Mingde and Bai Ting talked about what they can say to their family members when they go back later, and what things they can't say to their family members. The words are not right.

Along the way, time passed quickly, and it was very comfortable to drive in autumn, neither hot nor cold, Li Mingde and Bai Ting would raise the curtain of the carriage to look at the scenery.

Returning home to visit relatives after passing the Jinshi examination is completely different from when they went to the capital to prepare for the exam. One was relaxed and the other was nervous, and the scenery they saw along the way was also different.

If it wasn't for returning home as soon as possible and spending more time with the family, Li Mingde and Bai Ting would have been slower on the road.

The relationship between Wan Rongtong and Mrs. Wan seemed much more harmonious than when they went to the capital. The two went in and out at the same time, and we could see the slightest affection between them.

Although the two of them didn't have red faces or cold faces before, they always made people feel that they respected each other when they got along, especially Mrs. Wan. She had enough respect for Wan Rongtong, but she had no love.

Now, Wan Rongtong basically won't go to his common room anymore, and stays with Mrs. Wan every day.

The Tongfang was Mrs. Wan's dowry maid. After Wan Rongtong stopped going to her house, she very honestly returned to her position as a maid and served Mrs. Wan in peace.

The relationship between these two people got better, Madam Wan and Bai Ting also talked more, sometimes they would quietly discuss some experience of getting along with each other and learn from each other.

The two stayed together all the way, and they separated after returning to the original Han province. Li Mingde and Bai Ting were going back to Changping County, which is not in the same state as Wanjia.

Whether it is Li Mingde or Bai Ting, they are very happy to be home soon.

There were two carriages with them, one was a gift from Li Mingjin to his family, and the other was a carriage that Li Mingde and Bai Ting took when they were on their way, and there was a lot of stuff in it.

In addition to these two carriages, there were also some cages placed on board.

Because most of the gifts Li Mingde and the others bought for their family were the characteristics of different places they encountered along the boat trip, they were directly loaded on the boat, and they followed the boat all the way to Jintai City, and then to Changping County.

The current magistrate of Changping County is only from a scholar background, and he has become a magistrate step by step through qualifications and luck. He may be the magistrate for the rest of his life.

Therefore, the county magistrate could only be polite when facing Li Mingde, who was born as a Jinshi, had a younger brother who stayed in the capital as an official, and had infinite possibilities for future official careers.

Ever since he got the news of Li Mingde's return home, the county magistrate sent people to wait at the pier every day. Once Li Mingde and his wife arrived at the pier, they would immediately go back and inform him that he would personally welcome the Jinshi gentleman back to his hometown.

In the past, the most promising member of the Li family was Li Chengshi. He worked as a servant in the county government, so that the Li family could not be bullied by others, and he could also get some small conveniences.

For example, when Li Chengzhi and the others opened the rice noodle stall, Li Chengshi was there, and the gangsters in the county would not dare to trouble them.

Later, as Li Mingde achieved better and better results in the imperial examination step by step, the most promising member of the Li family gradually became Li Mingde.

As soon as the news of Li Mingde and Bai Zhiwen's Jinshi came back to Changping County, people came to make love almost every day in the courtyard of Li's big house, the courtyard of Li's third house, and the Bai's house in Shanghe Village.

Many big households took the initiative to approach Li Chengzhi and asked him if he had any ideas on opening the rice noodle shop bigger, such as opening it in a more lively neighborhood, and they were willing to transfer the shop to the Li family.

This kind of transfer is a half sale and half free far below the market price.

Li Chengzhi didn't accept it. He felt that it was enough for the two of them to run the rice noodle shop. The eldest son and the second son had their own businesses. They didn't need to subsidize the two sons in the future. They just earned some dowry for the younger daughter.

Moreover, with Li Mingde's reputation in the county, there are so many people who come here to eat rice noodles every day, the business is as good as moving to a more lively place.

In addition to Li Chengzhi's rice noodle shop being actively questioned, Li Mingli, Li Mingde's younger brother, also received great attention in the Qu family.

The head of the Qu family directly invited him to work as a manager at the main bookstore in Fucheng.

Shopkeeper Qu made the right decision at the beginning. Although he still stayed at Mingxin Bookstore in Hongyun Prefecture as the shopkeeper, his value had once again increased in the eyes of many big families in Hongyun Prefecture and the head of the Qu family. It's much more convenient at once.

After Li Mingli went to the house of the master of Fucheng, he didn't stop doing things because his own brother was a Jinshi master. He thought about stealing, playing tricks, and pocketing his own money. ability.

Today's Qu family is completely devoid of scholars who will stand up and manage Liming Li's road well. One day, Li Mingli's brother or cousin husband will become a high-ranking official, and a little thing leaking through the fingers is enough for the current Qu home.

The Li family's second room was relatively less affected, after all, the relationship was separated by a layer.

Li Chengli asked his old mother, Mrs. Li, to show his son Li Mingcai an honest girl. After Li Mingcai got married, he continued to farm behind his father as a landlord. There was no need to ask for help frequently, and his life was easy and prosperous.

On the contrary, his two married daughters had a more exciting life, especially Li Mingxia.

Bai Chen, who Li Mingchun married, was a carpenter. Before that, he only learned a little craft from a carpenter in the next village, and the jobs he took were given by people in the nearby villages. Afterwards, he asked someone to connect with a master who made a special trip to do woodwork for wealthy families as a teacher, and learned more exquisite carpentry skills.

The Zheng family that Li Mingxia married specialized in smoked rabbits and tanned rabbit skins after they stopped being hunters.

The work of raising rabbits was divided between Shanghe Village and nearby villages, and the Zheng family collected rabbits from the villagers' homes at the normal price.Soon, raising rabbits became a feature in Shanghe Village. Few households raised pigs and chickens. Rabbits grow fast and are easy to sell.

Zheng's Township Examination smoked rabbits, and they gradually became famous in the year Li Mingde and the others participated in the township examination.

After Bai Zhiwen and Li Mingde passed the Jinshi examination, the students from the former Han province would sell one or half of them in the county examination, government examination, courtyard examination and township examination every three years if conditions allowed. Smoked rabbit, whether it tastes good or not is another story, mainly because I want to make a good sign.

Not only rabbits are eaten for imperial examinations, but also smoked rabbits are delicious and easy to store. Some people also like to use smoked rabbits as gifts during the New Year and holidays.

Bai Zhiwen, who was far away in the capital, and Li Mingde and Wan Rongtong from the neighboring province helped to further expand the rabbit's reputation beyond the original Han province.

The reputation of the smoked rabbit is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people come to buy it. The work of the Zheng family is definitely not enough. Li Mingxia invited the aunts of Shanghe Village to help and set up a smoked rabbit workshop.

The area around Shanghe Village became famous for raising rabbits, and within a few years, it was called the Township of Rabbits because of the expansion of the rabbit-smoking workshop.

Everyone's life is getting better and better. As long as your hands are hardworking and willing to do things, it is not difficult to eat enough and wear warm clothes. When you go out, everyone wears decent cotton clothes, with a rosy complexion and a simple smile. You can see that life is very good. .
