Chapter 2485

Old Zhou took man Bao and Bai Shan's festival gift, and the servants who came in also took out Mr. Zhuang's note. They all moved in and went out. However, old Zhou still waited for the old man. When he came out, they went out of the Imperial City side by side.

The old man envied him very much. "Has the autumn harvest come in your villa?"

Old Zhou said, "I've collected more than half of it, but it's not long. After the Mid Autumn Festival, I can collect it in a few days."

"Will the wind and rain be smooth this year?"

Lao Zhou almost laughed on his face, "it was a little dry when transplanting seedlings, but it rained soon. It can be regarded as the wind and rain."

The old man's family is also a landlord, but he is just a small landlord. Although he doesn't go down to the ground in person, he has to watch the long-term workers and tenants farming every year. Therefore, he knows a lot about farming.

"Good harvest. After the Mid Autumn Festival, your family has another big income."

"Oh, don't you have one in your family?"

"How can our family compare with yours?" The old man said, "the job field of our boy is handed over to the Ministry of household to manage. He eats a fixed rent every year."

Old Zhou tou suggested, "just apply for your own business."

The old man shook his head. "My family is not like yours. I have only two sons. One is an official and the other is still studying. It's hard to take care of the job field, so it's better to just take a fixed rent."

Otherwise, how could he envy old Zhou tou so much?

It's true that his daughter is promising and has many sons. No matter how many things his daughter has laid in front, someone can hold it in the back.

After leaving the Imperial City, the old man and old Zhou tou leave. He is different from old Zhou tou. His son rented a two in yard near the inner city, and Zhou's house is on the third square out of the imperial city. Go ahead and turn right for a while. It's very close.

They were all foreigners. Even his son arrived in the capital a year earlier than his daughter. As a result, they all had houses.

Lao Zhou returned home with envious eyes on his head. He told his servants, "send Mr. Zhuang's festival gifts to his yard."

He picked several things from man Bao's festival gifts and put them together. It can be regarded as man Bao's gift to Mr. Zhuang.

The Zhou family respects Mr. Zhuang the most, because everyone knows that if Mr. Zhuang didn't bring man Bao to read, man Bao wouldn't be able to take this step in his life.

The Bai family received the festival gift. Lao Fu Liu asked Lao Zhou tou what he had added to Mr. Zhuang, and added the same with a smile.

When the four of them came home from school, their family was already preparing for the festival.

Man Bao helped Mr. Zhuang into the door. Bai Shan and Bai Erlang carried things to them behind. Lu was happy to see them when he went out. "Sir and man Bao are back. Sir, let's have dinner together tonight. My mother-in-law said that the food was put in the main hall."

Mr. Zhuang smiled and asked, "how many tables do you have to set up?"

"There are five tables to set up," said Lu. "Master Bai and Mrs. Bai are invited to come. We have a reunion dinner together in the evening. There are many children in our family. We will eat on both sides at that time to prevent them from making trouble."

Today, on the 13th, everyone had a happy reunion dinner first, and then everyone ate their own food on the 14th. As for the 15th, of course, they went out to play.

Living in the capital, I'm still in the inner city. It's a pity if I don't go to the light market and spend the Mid Autumn Festival with all the people.

Mr. Zhuang made an appointment with his colleagues and went out to eat, drink and write poetry that day.

In fact, Bai Shan also had an appointment. They were all from the Imperial Academy. He couldn't refuse directly, so he decided to hang around that day and get together to come out. There was no way. It was troublesome to have too many friends.

Zhou man didn't have such trouble, "we're too young to socialize outside the hospital."

Bai Shan glanced at man Bao. No, they had a party, but they didn't call you.

Just as Zhao LIULANG never asked her out when they went to Chunfeng building for dinner.

The two kitchens prepared together. After the menu was specified, one side of the kitchen was responsible for several dishes, so the food was cooked quickly and was still hot when it was served. Especially the steamed meat made by Xiao Qian, the meat flavor was very domineering.

Qian took the little Qian and Mrs. Liu to a table with Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Bai. There was no place for man Bao at all. She had to turn around and sit with Bai Shan.

Bai Dalang was the oldest. He took the lead in holding a piece of steamed meat for Bai Erlang. With a kind face, he said, "Erlang, there will be an exam next month. Eat more today."

Bai Erlang also gave him a piece of meat. "Brother, you should eat more. I heard that you were two places away from the list last year."

Last year, there were only 12 Jinshi. Generally, those who failed in the list will not be ranked. However, the Imperial College has something to do with it. Referring to the students' answers, a marking teacher said that Bai Dalang was a pity because he was two places away from winning.

However, Bai Dalang was not very sad, because there was another person in front of him who was even worse. There was only one in the distance. That person was Wang Yi, a student of Imperial College. He was the same age as Bai Dalang. When the news came out, both of them almost spit blood.

But Bai Dalang didn't vomit after all, because he saw worse Wang Yi.

As soon as Bai Shan and man Bao saw it, they immediately and politely sandwiched all kinds of meat for them and directly filled the bowl. "It's to eat more. This time, you should work hard to win the exam."

Bai Shan thinks Bai Dalang should have no problem, because he almost won last year. After a year of precipitation, he should be more powerful, and

Bai Shan lowered his voice and said, "this year's quota will be a little more than last year."

The amount of scholars is different every year. The number of scholars is calculated by the Ministry of officials according to the existing data and the changes in officialdom from last year to this year.

For example, after the liquidation of Yizhou Wang No. 1 Department, more Jinshi were taken for the first and second courses than in previous years, because they had to be filled because of the loss of officialdom.

Bai Shan walked in front of the emperor and listened to the adults and the emperor talking about these things. He knew a lot of inside information, but he also knew what to say and what not to say.

Speaking of the Jinshi examination, he has only this little encouragement.

Bai Dalang and Bai Erlang understood it and didn't continue the topic. They were just very excited. When they took Shiduo, they had a better chance. Especially Bai Erlang, his heart was a little empty. He knew himself. He was far worse than his big brother.

Zhou Lijun also sat at the same table with them. Seeing that they had finished talking, she talked about her topic, "sister-in-law, I saw a shop in Dongfang and wanted to buy it."

Man Bao was stunned and asked, "is the shop there very expensive?"

Zhou Lijun nodded, "I've talked for a long time, but I still need 8672. I can't lose one or two."

Bai Shan was shocked and asked, "what shop is so expensive?"

"It's mainly in Dongfang. The street sells silk, satin and rouge powder. The famous silver houses in the capital are also there, so they are very expensive."

Man Bao asked, "what do you buy for?"
