Pet wife Imperial Examination Road

Cheng Mu helped Yun Yun carry the Four Treasures of the Study, guessing lantern riddles wasted time, so he had to find an inn to stay for one night, and almost all the people on the street dispersed.

Fortunately, there were not many people staying in the inn. When Cheng Mu asked for a room, there was still a room, and he went upstairs after paying the rent.

Cheng Mu put the box on the bedside, and Yun Yun couldn't wait to open it to have a look. Inside was an inkstone, a fragrant ink, two wolf brushes, one large and one small, and a dozen thick rice paper.

"Cheng Mu, this is really a good thing."

"You got it yourself, and you can practice calligraphy when you go home."

The good thing, Yun Yun, was of course reluctant to put it down, and kept holding it in her hand to look at it over and over again.

"The roast duck is ready, come and eat."

Yun Yun smelled the aroma of roast duck before putting down her pen and ink. There were some shredded green onions and tofu skin in sauce on the table.

"what is this?"

"There is a famous dish called Golden Roast Duck. Use bean curd skin to brush with sauce, add some shredded green onions, and roll the roast duck. It looks golden yellow from the outside, so it's called Golden Roast Duck." Pass it to Yun Yun.

This was the first time Yun Yun saw it eating like this. Yun Yun took a bite. The richness of the sauce, the crunchiness of the roast duck, and the strength of the tofu skin.

This is just an ordinary dish in the capital of the state, and no one has seen it here.Seeing Yun Yun's liking, Cheng Mu warmed up in his heart.

Yun Yun is so talented, she deserves better treatment from him.

More than half of the half-roasted duck went into Yun Yun's stomach, and he was a little embarrassed after eating it.This golden roast duck is so delicious, I only cared about eating it, and didn't save some for Cheng Muduo.

"Are you full?"

Yun Yun said embarrassedly, "I'm full..."

"Then go to sleep."

There was a brazier in the room, and it was still cold after taking off the cotton-padded clothes, Yun Yun wrapped herself in the quilt, only showing her small head.The two were close to each other, and Cheng Mu stretched out his arms to hug Yun Yun's waist.

"It's so cold."

"It will be hot in a while."

After a while, the quilt really started to heat up, and Yun Yun couldn't stand the heat, so she wanted to take out her hand, and Cheng Mu held him down whenever she moved.

"what happened?"

"Don't move, or I can't help it."

Yun Yun moved again, something pressed against his lower abdomen, and he turned his back to Cheng Mu.

Fortunately, Cheng Mu didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and the two of them fell asleep after lying down for a while.

After the Lantern Festival, the streets were full of confetti and discarded lotus lanterns. Yun Yun couldn't help but sigh, "What a waste."

Cheng Mu is used to such scenes, "Someone will clean it, so don't worry."

Passing by Nanlin Academy, a group of scholars went in with their luggage on their backs. Yang Xiubo saw Yun Yun and hurried over to talk to him.

"Yunyun, are you here to study too?"

"No, I'm going home."

Yang Xiubo was obviously disappointed, "Oh, it would be great if you came to study. Yesterday I went home and asked my father to help me find a book about lantern riddles. I thought I would win the first prize at the Lantern Festival next year. Alright, I won't disturb you and go home."

Yun Yun felt that this person was very straightforward, and he spoke from the heart without being artificial.Cheng Mu said, "This person is worthy of deep friendship. Even if he doesn't have any big ambitions, he has a good character."

Back home, Yun Yun quickly set up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and after the inkstone, wrote on the paper with a brush.Haomo's writing is different, the handwriting is clear, the color is pure black, and only a few words have been written, Yun Yun is reluctant to write, and tidies up the rest.

Cheng Mu looked at his writing from the sidelines. He was imposing yet dignified. Once again proving that Yun Yun has real talent, Cheng Mu suddenly felt that he should send Yun Yun to school.

"The writing is too ugly. I haven't written for a few years and I'm unfamiliar with it." Yun Yun took the paper and folded it and put it in the box.

"No, I think it's well written."

"Cheng Mu, were you good at reading before you went to war?"

"It doesn't count as being powerful, but leading troops to fight must be familiar with military books and maps, otherwise how would you fight."

As soon as the box was put away, Li Fu from the village came, with a serious face and something important to discuss.

"Cheng Mu, you talked about buying land before, but now I want to talk to you."

Cheng Mu naturally welcomed him, but as soon as he sat down, Li Fu took out a land deed. "My family is in urgent need of money now, and now I can't work on so much land alone, so I want to sell an acre of paddy fields. Instead of selling it to others, it's better to sell it to you."

"What happened at home?"

"My father has been paralyzed in bed and caught a cold two days ago. I was about to take him to the town clinic to see a doctor, but the family didn't have much cash, so I wanted to sell the land."

In Cheng Mu's view, buying land now is a bit of a precarious situation. He stuffed the land deed into Li Fu's hands, "You take back the land deed first, and I can lend you some money if you need it urgently. You should be cautious when selling the land. If you go, you can’t take it back.”

"I've thought about it seriously. After my mother-in-law dies, there are three children in my family. No matter what, I have to marry a wife. Zhang Matchmaker told me about a widow who happened to have no children, but the bride price was 15 taels. I just wanted to sell the land, except Treat my father and marry her in."

Yun Yun said, "This is a good thing, as long as the person is not bad, you can consider it."

"I think so too. My family has a lot of land now, and I can't take care of it."

It's reasonable and well-founded. Cheng Mu also thinks it's good to buy this land. Li Fu has a good relationship with them, and he shouldn't cheat them. The land purchase must be guaranteed together.

"Okay, how much is your place?"

"The land I sold totaled nine cents, which was less than one mu. Originally, one mu of paddy fields was 20 taels, but now it is 18 taels."

The price is fair and reasonable, Cheng Mu said, "Why don't we go and see the land first, and I'll buy it when it's ready."

Li Fu took Cheng Mu and Yun Yun to the field. The land to be sold was on a small hillside, surrounded by a fence made of mud, and there were paddy fields beside it, not far from the river, so it was convenient for watering and so on. .

"It can be bought." Yun Yun whispered.

Cheng Mu also thought it was okay, and the three of them immediately handed over the money in exchange for the land deed after returning.

After getting the title deed, Yun Yun felt a little unreal, she just wanted to buy the land before, but in the blink of an eye, she got the land.

"I'm busy when planting rice seedlings in February." Cheng Mu said.

"It's also a happy job. We now have nearly three acres of land, and there are vegetable fields in the yard. This year will definitely have a bumper harvest, so you don't have to go hunting in the mountains." His subconscious mind still thinks that going to the mountains is too dangerous, even though he followed It's safe to go several times.

"Well, buy some chickens and ducks to feed in the yard in a few days, and the meat money will be left."

Once the Lantern Festival passed, the time passed quickly, and it became warmer every day. At the beginning of February, even wearing a padded jacket felt hot.Cheng Mu started raising rice seedlings behind the house, and when the weather gets hotter, they can be transplanted into the fields. The busiest spring plowing of the year is about to begin.

The willow saplings outside have also begun to germinate. They were half dead when they were first planted last year. This year, someone's arms are already thick.
