After crossing, I spoil my husband

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone was very happy. Because it was a festival, the food shops in the town also offered discounts, and many people dragged their families to eat.

Both Xia Liren and Xu's father are honest and sincere in their business, so they are still very popular with customers.

"Okay, you don't need to send any more."

Twenty-five days later, it was already November 25th.

Master Meng is about to leave, and in two days there will be the state examination and the government examination.

Fu Mingyou and Xu Youan stood aside, bowed their hands together and said, "Thank you, Master."

"What are you being polite about?"

Master Meng smiled, and then waved his hand, "I can wait for you in the capital, don't embarrass me for the rural exam, otherwise don't say that I taught you." , the Great Confucianism in the capital is much better than here."

These two people are good seedlings, especially Xu Youan.

"Teacher, I will definitely not embarrass you."

Xu Youan cupped his hands and said seriously.

After this month of tempering, he felt that he seemed to have improved a lot.

Fu Mingyou also responded with a smile, now he has [-]% confidence in himself becoming a scholar.

Meng Fuzi smiled at the two of them, and then went back in the carriage.

This time, Master Meng returned to the capital. Fu Mingyou knew that the other party had returned, so he also prepared a lot of gifts. Needless to say, lamps, toothbrush sets and other things, he prepared a lot, and more of them were rural specialty products. .

Ever since he ate sausage once, Master Meng fell in love with that taste, and took a lot of it with him this time.

When the two of them couldn't see the shadow of the carriage, they looked at each other and walked back slowly.

"You'an, let's go to Xuyin Mansion tomorrow."

Fu Mingyou estimated the time, and it would take about a day from Xiajia Village to Xuyin Mansion.

They still have one day to adjust for the exam the day after tomorrow.

"Okay, let's set off early tomorrow morning."

Xu Youan responded with a smile. Originally, they planned to go with Master Meng and the others, but later they still wanted to stay at home for more time.

In the past month, except for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xu You'an went back once, and the rest lived in Fu's house.

"Father, why are you here?"

When Xu Youan went back, he happened to see his parents, his eyes lit up, and he immediately walked up to them with a smile.

Father Xu and the others have also been here several times, and they know how to get to Fu Mingyou's house.

"Aren't you going to take the exam at Xu Yin Mansion? Mother is worried that you don't have enough money."

Mother Xu smiled, and then greeted Fu Mingyou, "You two's master is gone?"

Xu Youan nodded and said, "The teacher has already left."

Although he did not formally worship Meng Fuzi as his teacher, Meng Fuzi mentioned before that after he became a scholar, he would hold a teacher apprentice banquet.

Fu Mingyou knew that Master Meng planned to take Xu Youan as his apprentice, so he was very happy for him.

"Uncle, aunt, come in and sit down."

Fu Mingyou asked Xu Youan to take the two of them into the yard, and talking outside is not a problem.

After everyone went in, Aunt Li poured tea for everyone.

Xia Yanxi greeted the two of them, looked at Fu Mingyou who was at the side, and said, "Master, when are you going to Xu Yinfu?"

"We plan to leave early tomorrow morning."

Fu Mingyou said directly, "It will take almost a whole day from here to Xu Yinfu."

"Master, you take Zhuzhu and Heizi this time, and ask them to help you."

Xia Yanxi immediately said, if it wasn't for his physical inconvenience, he would have wished to go with him.

If you want to go to Xuyin Mansion now, there must be a lot of things in the exam, and this time there are two state exams and the government exam together.

"Okay, I have that plan too."

Fu Mingyou nodded, he originally had this plan.

Mother Xu looked at Xu You'an and Fu Mingyou, smiled, and said, "Don't be nervous, both of you, I believe you will be fine."

As an enlightened parent, Xu's mother knew that at this time, she must not put pressure on the two children, but encourage them.

Xu Youan smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry."

This time the township examination, the two of them must have no problem.

The two of them were going to set off early tomorrow morning. Xia Yanxi told Aunt Li to make more pastries, and asked Zhuzi to go to the town to buy some pastries and fruits, and then asked Heizi to grind some nut powder, facing the fried flour, and using water like this Punch, you can drink it directly, add some sugar, the taste is very good.

Fu Mingyou watched Xia Yanxi instructing his subordinates to keep doing things, couldn't help but smiled, and talked with the other party.

Xu Youan talked to his mother, but didn't go back. He stayed here, so Fu Mingyou wouldn't have to pick him up tomorrow morning.

This afternoon, everyone in the Fu family got up and prepared a lot of things.

Fu Mingyou filled the thermos pot he had prepared with water, and spread a soft quilt inside the carriage, and put all the food and drink on the carriage.

"Aunt Li, Wu Niang, I will trouble you at home."

At this time Xia Yanxi hadn't woken up yet, Fu Mingyou moved very lightly when he got up.

Aunt Li immediately nodded and said, "Eldest Young Master, Young Master Xu, I wish you a successful start."

"I wish the two young masters the best of luck."

Wu Niang also bowed her hands and stood beside Aunt Li and said.

Fu Mingyou nodded, and carefully instructed: "If Xixi wakes up, let Xiaobao come and accompany him."

He worried that he would feel lonely when he was not there.

Aunt Li and Wu Niang agreed, and after watching the carriage leave, they directly closed the courtyard door.

The sky at this meeting is still vaguely dark.

Fu Mingyou and Xu Youan were sitting in the carriage, and there was a small lamp on the small coffee table in the middle of the carriage, which just illuminated the entire carriage.

"Brother Xu can rest for a while."

Fu Mingyou just woke up and is not sleepy yet, but after Sishi, he will definitely be a little sleepy.

Xu Youan shook his head with a smile, took two sips of warm tea: "I'm not sleepy yet, I'll sleep when I'm sleepy."

Fu Mingyou didn't force him, and then directly took out a book, and both of them read it.

Heizi and Zhuzi outside were sitting on the shaft of the chariot. Because Fu Mingyou was considerate of the servants, even if the two of them were sitting on the shaft of the chariot and the carriage was driving fast, they would not feel bumpy or even cold.

The gurgling sound of the carriage did not affect the two of them reading.

Fu Mingyou and Xu Youan knew that the exam was coming soon, even though they were full of confidence, they couldn't help but lean forward and want to read more.

The state test and the government test are more important, and many scholars in Yuanyang County have also passed.

Therefore, along the way, Fu Mingyou and Xu Youan met many passers-by.

But the two of them went out to eat or it was convenient, and they rarely got out of the carriage at other times. If they were tired from sitting, they could rest on the soft berth, which was very comfortable.

"Aunt Li's craftsmanship is really good."

Xu Youan ate the thin and crispy omelette, although it was made in the morning, but because Fu Mingyou put a thermal insulation thing in the car, the omelette was still warm.

Fu Mingyou nodded in agreement: "But it tastes better when it's just out of the oven."

The pancakes at this meeting are already a little soft, not as crisp as when they were just out of the pan.

Xu You'an smiled and said, "You can be content."

There are not many people who are as well-prepared as they are. Xu Youan was not when he was studying in the past. He didn't know Fu Mingyou at that time, and his family was still poor, and he ate only hard dry food.

Fu Mingyou also smiled, and finished the pancake in his hand: "Master Meng said before, suggesting that we go to the capital, what do you think?"

In fact, Fu Mingyou can also go to the capital, but three years is still a long time. Now that Xia Yanxi is pregnant, he will not go to the capital immediately.

At the earliest, it will be a year later.

Xu You settled down for a while, with a troubled expression on his face: "I haven't thought about it yet."

Fu Mingyou raised his lips and said with a smile, "I think you can go there, and then let my aunt and the others open a food store in the capital. Master Meng is also in the capital. With him here, it should be no problem to study in an academy in the capital." questionable."

Xu Youan didn't make a decision, so he smiled: "After the exam is over, we can discuss it carefully."

"Okay, this time we have to take the exam well. If the results are not satisfactory, we will have to face Master Meng's nagging."

Fu Mingyou remembered something, and immediately said to Xu Youan.

Xu Youan also nodded in agreement. This time, he must be on the list.

The two of them arrived at Xuyin Mansion in the afternoon of this day, when it was getting dark.

Compared with Yuanyang County, Xuyin Mansion is very large and very prosperous.

It can be seen from the gate of the city where they entered the city.

"Brother Xu, this Xu Yin Mansion is really lively."

It was also the first time for Fu Mingyou to come here. I have to say that Yuanyang County feels really different.

Xu Youan smiled: "It's really lively, much bigger than Yuanyang County."

The two of them didn't go shopping, but directly inquired about the location of the exam. This time, Fu Mingyou still planned to stay in a nearby inn.

However, Fu Mingyou didn't expect that all the places around here were full.

"You two young masters, are you also taking part in the scientific examination?"

Just when Fu Mingyou was about to watch the family, an old man walked over from the side and said to the two of them.

Fu Mingyou nodded and glanced at the other party: "Yes, old man, what can I do for you?"

The old man smiled and said: "My yard is near here. There are only me and my grandson. If the two young masters are willing, they can rent my yard. It is far away from the street and not noisy. It is very suitable for candidates to live in."

Fu Mingyou raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be that no one was willing to rent your house before?"

The old gentleman must have said this to other candidates before, so no one is willing to rent it?

The old man couldn't help but smiled, and said: "Everyone may think that the inn is better."

Now the inn is full of people, even if it is not full, the rooms left are not good, Fu Mingyou thought about it, and said directly to the old man, "Then thank you very much, old man, can we go and have a look first?"

Go and see first, if not, then go to other inns to see.

"Okay, okay, two young masters, this way please."

The old man was very happy, and then led the two of them through an alley, and stopped in front of a small courtyard house.

"Please, please, this is my yard."

The old man opened the door and let everyone in.

Fu Mingyou went in and took a look. The family had a total of eight houses, and the yard was very clean. There was a little boy sitting at the door of the main room, who looked only four or five years old.

Fu Mingyou glanced at it roughly, and was quite satisfied, so he nodded directly and said, "Yes, how do you rent this yard?"

The old man smiled and said, "Both young masters, will you leave after the state examination?"

Whether to leave or not determines the price.

Fu Mingyou shook his head directly, and said, "It's been a long time since the results of the government examination came out."

"No problem." The old man was delighted, and said directly: "During this time, I will provide meals for a few of you, fifteen days, ten taels of silver."

With so many people living and eating, it costs less than one tael of silver a day.

Fu Mingyou nodded directly in response, and said, "Yes."

Then he casually gave ten taels of silver to the other party, and the other party's price was quite fair, but Fu Mingyou was worried that the other party's money would not be enough for them to eat well, so he took out another ten taels: "The food will be calculated separately. It is extremely guaranteed that we will have meat and vegetables for lunch."

If they don't eat well these days, it will also affect their exams.

Fu Mingyou didn't care about the 20 taels of silver, the most important thing was to live comfortably.

The old man nodded directly and said, "No problem, no problem."

This time, they met a big customer.

Fu Mingyou entered the house brought by the old man, took out his own things, and changed the quilt cover.

"What's your name?"

Xu Youan took some of the snacks he brought to the kid and asked with a smile.

The kid was very well-behaved, and he took the snack from the other party only after his grandfather nodded: "Thank you, big brother, my name is Yuanbao."

"Yuanbao, right?"

Fu Mingyou also came over and smiled: "Can you tell us how long it will take from here to the Yamen?"

"About a quarter of an hour."

Yuan Bao thought for a while and said directly.

Every time he walks there, it takes almost a quarter of an hour, but sometimes he is playful, and it may take two quarters of an hour.

"Time is okay."

Xu Youan and Fu Mingyou looked at each other, and sat aside: "Take a good rest today, and you can go and have a look tomorrow."

Fu Mingyou nodded in agreement, and then asked Zhuzi and Heizi to help the old man.

Young men are better at chopping firewood.

"You two young masters, my surname is Hu, you can call me Uncle Hu."

Uncle Hu smiled, and then brought the food over: "Although I'm a man, I still cook very well. Let's have a try."

Fu Mingyou and Xu Youan looked at the hot dishes in front of them and smiled at each other.

Since it was getting late, the two of them washed up and rested directly after eating.

Heizi and Zhuzi lived in the same room, and the two of them had to keep their spirits up to provide logistical support for Fu Mingyou and their scientific expedition.
