Chapter 520： Everything is inferior, only reading is good

Chapter 520 Everything is inferior, only reading is good

Before entering the examination room, all candidates must be thoroughly inspected to prevent cheating.

Fortunately, the dignity of scholars was still preserved. Two sheds were built at the entrance of the Gongyuan. Each time two candidates went in, they took off their clothes and were inspected before being put into the courtyard.

If there are any inappropriate students, they will be immediately picked out and dragged away.

In previous years, there were students who took desperate measures, but this year, none of them were found.

Because all students are afraid of being cheated and falsely accused of cheating, they don’t bring any extra things with them!

The soldiers looked boring, and in the end they were all bored, so they just had to deal with it.

This process is said to be simple, but in reality it is very slow and painful.

Even though only half of Tianwu is left, the scientific examination is barely retained, and many unnecessary rules have been deleted. Even after being admitted as a scholar, it is not sure whether there will be tax exemptions and other preferential treatment, but there are still many people taking the examination.

After all, everything is inferior, only reading is high. This sentence is engraved in the bones of all Tianwu people, and it will not change because of anything!

The queue of students taking the exams was very far away, and the people watching the excitement were further separated.

This also includes the dean and gentleman of the academy, as well as the three brothers Mr. Wen and Li Zhensheng, plus Mrs. Li, Tao Hongying and Jiayin who are looking around in the carriage.

This time, Jiaren and Brother Li will stay and eat in a small cubicle in Gongyuan for three days.

Based on Jiayin’s previous thoughts, he definitely wanted to get some good things for his brothers, such as biscuits and oil tea noodles, which were convenient and very hungry.

The former can be eaten as soon as you grab it, while the latter can be made into a bowl of sweet noodle soup with hot water.

However, because of the note hidden on the wooden sign, the academy was frightened and immediately prepared all the food and supplies the students needed and did not allow anyone to bring extra things. The good news could only die out.

After all, she was really unfamiliar with the imperial examinations in this time and space. If she brought something taboo to her brother, she would be doing something bad out of good intentions.

Everyone watched eagerly, seeing that it was almost noon, and the last student entered the Gongyuan.

The door was immediately closed tightly, and soldiers were guarded inside and outside the door. Their swords were sharp and no one was allowed to approach.

There was no point for everyone to stay, so the college left one gentleman and two senior attendants, the Li family left Zheng Feng, Zheng He and a carriage, and the rest went back.

Li Laosan was in a hurry to return to Luo'an, and lunch was the busiest time in the cafeteria.

Li Zhensheng also wanted to go back to the restaurant, while Li Laoer wanted to take Mr. Wen to the flower shop.

Old Mrs. Li was in a mess, thinking about her grandson, and couldn't do anything when she returned home, so she simply went to the new flower shop.

Li Laoer has just named the flower shop Baiyuan Garden. The plaque has been carved and hung at the entrance of the courtyard.

The gardener's family sent by the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion is Cao. The old couple and the young couple are all responsible people and are very diligent and obedient.

They have only moved in for two days, and they have already tidied up everything inside and outside the courtyard, including the small garden on the east side.

Their deeds of sale have also been transferred from the Marquis Mansion to the Li family, and Li Laoer also made it clear to the four young and old.

From now on, they will be fed and housed in a small courtyard, and their treatment will be the same as that of a marquis. They will be provided with clothing in all seasons and rewards during the New Year.

In addition, the wages are 20% higher than those at the Hou Mansion, because there is more work here in Baiyuan Garden and not as leisurely as the Hou Mansion.

The four members of the Cao family were very frightened. They were old servants of the Hou Mansion for many years, and the princess was also the young master of the Hou Mansion. It was their duty to work for the master, so how could they get a raise in wages? !

But they couldn’t refuse, so they had no choice but to accept it.

These days, they are really busy without touching the ground, for fear that they will not be able to afford the salary!

But the only regret is that although this small courtyard is called Baiyuan Garden, there are not a single flower at all now...

Mr. Wen and Mrs. Li walked around and were very satisfied with the small courtyard, so they asked the same question.

Mr. Wen smiled and said, "Everywhere in this yard is good, except that there are no flowers. When will the flowers be sent?" After saying that, he pointed to the small garden and asked: "If you want to build a greenhouse here, it is best to find one." Some glazed tiles come over, letting in light in winter, making it warm and beautiful.

“But for glazed tiles, neither Zhiheng nor I have the ability. We can only wait for the Marquis to come back and ask the Marquis to find them.”

Li Laoer said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir, there will be good flowers and glazed tiles!"

After saying that, he winked at his little niece.

Jiayin also smiled and made a face in return to the second uncle.

These past few nights, the uncle and nephew were not busy in vain, they had already made arrangements.

Of course, it goes without saying that famous flowers can be moved from the space.

As for the glazed tiles, when Jiayin returned to live in the village in her previous life, she wanted to completely repair the old house. She had bought all the materials, but the sudden drop in temperature made it unsuitable for groundbreaking.

So, the inside of the old house was repainted, the floor tiles were installed, the kitchen was renovated, and the furniture and appliances were brought in. Only the tiles, doors, windows, etc. outside would not be touched until spring, and then she traveled through time...

For this reason, the large pieces of glass she bought were kept and kept piled in the warehouse.

Nowadays, a greenhouse is built in the flower shop, which will be of great use!

Of course, the glass she saved would not be enough to build a greenhouse on an acre of land.

But it’s not too difficult to design it well and ensure that half of the daylight can be seen in the greenhouse...

Mr. Wen also knew that there was something miraculous about the good news. Seeing the two uncles and nephews acting like this, he stopped asking further questions.

Everyone went to Cyclamen for lunch at noon. Mrs. Li was a little irritable, always thinking about her grandson who was taking the exam.

Jiayin and his second uncle discussed it and decided to advance all the work for the next few days, so they headed back to Baiyuan Garden.

Orange Mrs. Li and Tao Hongying are responsible for cleaning up the main house in the backyard and will stay here for a few days.

Even after the Gongyuan opens, Jiaren and Brother Li will be brought over to live with them, and they will be allowed to relax for a few days while waiting for the results to be posted.

In order to take the exam, the two children woke up at midnight and stayed up until midnight, which made them very tired.

Now, regardless of how you did in the exam, you should play for a few days and take a good rest!

Li Laoer went to the carpenter's workshop to pick up the flower stands, while Jiayin took Dongmei to the backyard of the Hou Mansion.

Dongmei and Dashan’s yard is right at the back door, which is very convenient for helping Jiayin cheat.

Soon, pots of famous flowers were loaded onto the carriage outside the back door. Even if outsiders saw them, they would think that these famous flowers were found by the Hou Mansion with the help of the Li family.

After all, the chief steward of the Marquis Mansion went all over Xindu to buy flower seeds and roots. He even didn’t care about the half-dead flower seedlings, and even took the pots back...

Of course, the garden cannot be filled with all famous flowers. They will be too eye-catching and may easily arouse excessive jealousy.

Secondly, things are valuable when they are rare. The reason why famous flowers are famous is because they are rare!

If they are all over the mountains and plains, and if five or six trees are knocked down with one step, no one will care and no one will like them.

So, in the end, we pulled a few more carts of ordinary flowers and plants, and even a few tanks of water lilies.

Among them, the most outstanding ones are dozens of roses. When in full bloom, they are enough to decorate the walls of the garden.

Four carriages were going back and forth seven or eight times between the Marquis Mansion and Baiyuan Garden, so they could not avoid being noticed and looked at a few times.

No one dared to inquire at the Marquis Mansion, but there were people outside the Baiyuan Garden Gate who were curious and watching...
