After sending Dalang and Wu Wenhui away, about ten days later, Chen Qingyun took his uncle and aunt to Dongzhou's house to pay the betrothal gift.

Dongming Ziyu and his family also went back, and it was very lively. Ten tables were set up.

Dalang married the daughter of a small official in the county town, and Da Ya married a Tong Sheng from the city. Considering the current situation, it was an excellent marriage.

After the banquet, the guests were sent away, and Mr. Dong's family drank tea and talked with the Chen family, discussing the date of the wedding and the auspicious date for the wedding.

The auspicious days are all calculated by someone, and there are several. You have to choose a day that both families find suitable and convenient. After all, both families work at the Chollima Express Station, so they have to arrange their time well.

After agreeing on a date, Old Man Dong said to Chen Mingnan: "My fourth son told us something last night. He is studying in the government school and is allowed to bring a personal boy. During class, the boys are outside the classroom.

Wait, I can hear Mr. Meng’s lecture clearly.”

Having said this, Chen Qingyun's eyes lit up. He looked at Old Man Dong expectantly, waiting for him to continue talking.

Old man Dong continued: "Si'er originally wanted to choose from the boys in the family, but they have only studied for a year and a half. They have just learned all the words, and they can't understand even if they listen."

At this time, Chen Mingnan also heard something, and said doubtfully: "What do you mean..."

Chen Qingyun scolded: "Qingyun is not talented. I wonder if he is lucky enough?"

The boss must have intended for me to follow him to listen, otherwise he would not have said this in front of them.

Dong Youliang smiled with satisfaction, "The name "boy" is not good, and your fourth uncle will not really let you serve him. There will be food at school at noon, and he will go back to live in the small courtyard at night, and your aunt will take care of him in his daily life."

Chen Qingyun said hurriedly: "What's the point? When it comes to learning, you have to not refuse small details. Qingyun has always admired his fourth uncle, and he also wants to become his teacher! Now that he has this opportunity to study next to his fourth uncle, it is a great honor!"

After saying that, he stood up and bowed to everyone.

Dongming Ziyu said: "You just need to be flexible. After all, the courses in the private school are for scholars and candidates. If they are suitable for you, you can listen. If the courses are not suitable, you can study in the dormitory by yourself. In the private school, not only

With me, all the students in the government are here, and they can ask for advice anytime if they have any questions."

Chen Mingnan knew that this was Chen Qingyun being recruited by his in-laws, so he laughed loudly and said: "This kid has fallen into a nest of blessings! He still doesn't kowtow to the elders!"

Chen Qingyun was very down-to-earth, and gave Dong Ming Ziyu, Dong Ming Ziyu, and Dong Ming Ziyu a firm nod.

When I got home and told my family about this, the whole family was very happy.

Chen Mingdong smiled and said: "I didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected surprise. I thought it would be great if I could take the time to ask for advice, but I didn't expect that there would be such a good thing!"

Zheng Shi slapped her thigh with joy, "Why do you think this is so good? It's so good! Maybe Qingyun will be admitted as a scholar this year!"

Chen Qingyun smiled and said: "It's almost March, where is the time? I thought, I won't finish this year, and I will finish next year. It happens that next year my fourth uncle will also take the imperial examination. If nothing unexpected happens, he will go to the capital to take the imperial examination. For the time being,

You can’t teach me anymore.”

Mrs. Chen felt that her grandson had a lot of knowledge and said: "Write a few articles and let your fourth uncle in-laws have a look. If you can win, I will try this year and take the Juren exam early in the morning."

Chen Qingyun felt unsure, but did not refute what grandma said, saying: "Okay, listen to grandma."

So, when I saw Dongming Ziyu the next day, I took out the article I had written and said, "Look, at my current level, in what direction should I work hard?"

Dongming Ziyu browsed through it quickly and said: "The basic knowledge is not solid, and the meaning of the classics is not thorough enough, so I have to read in depth. I will find some Four Books and Five Classics with annotations by famous writers for you to read.

The policy paper was written in a flashy and non-implementable way. At first glance, it looked like it was written by someone who didn’t understand people’s livelihood and production.

The poems are also poorly written. Although the dialogues are neat and the words are gorgeous, they are full of craftsmanship and have no soul?"

Chen Qingyun's face turned red, a little ashamed and a little shocked.

Dongming Ziyu smiled and said: "However, with your age, experience, and family background, this is already very good. After two years of hard work, it will not be a problem to become a scholar."

Chen Qingyun gained courage again. He is only eighteen and still has time! What's more, now he has a good teacher!

Dongming Ziyu and Chen Qingyun continued to study in the imperial examination. Although the rote memorization part of the examination candidates was less, the scope was wider. If the scriptures and implicit meanings at the beginning lost too many points, the examiner would not read the following at all.

, you are not good at the basics, how can you still answer other questions?

Of course, he also has to take care of many things at the Qianlima Express Station. When the stalls are spread out, the folks from the Dongzhou family have become the stewards of the sub-station. He used to be a farmer, but suddenly he became a steward and was a little confused.

Let’s ask Dongming Ziyu.

Dongming Ziyu has perfected every process, job responsibilities and rules and regulations so that even a fool can get things done by following the processes and systems.

Fortunately, literacy classes have been opened for these people, so they can recognize and write common words.

Shangguan Ruoli continues her life as a housewife, doing laundry, cooking and taking care of the children, serving her husband, and going to the snack shop.

Qianlima shops slowly spread around Fengcheng and on the lines leading to the capital, and spread all around.

Of course, there is only a really delicious snack shop next to the Chollima Express Station in the town. They are short of manpower and have limited cash flow.

Busy days always pass by quickly, and spring passes and autumn seems to come in the blink of an eye.

On a crisp autumn day, Shangguan arrived with a cart of newly harvested rice.

Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said, "Are you tired of living in the countryside?"

Shangguan said: "There is not enough accommodation in such a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. I have something important to ask of you, but I feel a little wronged by you."

Shangguan Ruoli raised his eyebrows, "What's going on?"

Could it be that the Shangguan family found out that the original owner was not their lost daughter, and they still wanted her to help go back and comfort Shangguan's grandmother who fell ill?

In the past six months, Shangguan has been living in Dongzhou's house and has been asking about her a lot. The reason why he didn't recognize her was because there was no evidence and he didn't want to make a mistake and just be happy.

Entered the house and served tea.

Shangguan drank two bowls in a row to quench his thirst, and then he said seriously: "I think you must be wondering why I suddenly appeared and why I stay here with you."

Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile: "I am not surprised at all about the various situations in life."

Shangguan almost choked.

Blowing his beard and glaring, "Why don't you let me talk to you properly?!"

Shangguan Ruoli gave him a cup of tea and smiled: "Please speak, please speak, I will listen."

Shangguan snorted coldly and continued: "I lost a granddaughter. She looks very much like you, but there are many differences."
