Chapter 157: Go to Beijing to take the exam


    This year, the Qin family has had a good New Year.


    This is unimaginable in previous years.


    The family was in joy.


    Sanlang wearing new clothes came to Qin Chi with rice cakes and muttered in a low voice: "Brother, can I be the younger uncle win the Jinshi?"


    "Do you want him to be the first, or don''t?" Qin Chi asked in a funny way.


    After thinking seriously, Saburo nodded, "Think about it! If you win the exam, our family will be in a good life."


    Qin Chi responded, "That''s it."


    Song Jin couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows when he heard the two of them talking.


    There was no such good thing in my previous life.


    I lived a good life because of my big house, and with her and Qin Chi interfering, I also added fuel to the fire. After Qin Mingsong passed the imperial examination, he had to benefit his family for his reputation.


    The second and third bedrooms in the previous life were divided, and they only received twenty acres of land and one hundred taels each.


    On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Qin Chi took advantage of the excuse of burning incense and praying for blessings and his family went to Ciguang Temple to burn incense, and they had to stay there for three or five days.


    In fact, it was just going to see Helian Pu.


    When I returned to Qinjiagou, I didn’t expect that the home was very lively.


    Qin Mingsong packed his box and wanted to go to Beijing to take the exam, but he still needed to accompany him alone to do some trivial matters for him.


    Old man Qin originally wanted the boss to accompany him to Beijing.


    But the big house family went to the temple to pray for blessings before they came back, so they wanted the second or third brother to follow.


    After considering this errand, it fell on Qin Laoer''s head.


    It is inevitable that the food and accommodation will be spent. Old Liu actually only gave one tael of silver, saying that it was not enough for the second house to pay.


    Qin Lao Er smiled angry, "The fourth brother, I''m sorry for you this time, so I''ll ask my mother to buy you a follower."


    "Second brother, I''ll talk to my mother first."


    Qin Mingsong also disagreed with Lao Liu''s approach. He had to make such a fuss when he was about to set off. Everyone was worried, and instead said to Lao Liu, "Mom, do you have to make trouble with your son going to take the exam?"


    Old Liu was very persistent in this matter, "Si''er, my mother has calculated that one tael of silver is enough. This time I went to the exam, and I could buy two steamed buns for two cents. I could eat six steamed buns a day, and I didn''t have to spend two hundred cents in two months. Besides, I went to the inn to stay in Datongpu, which was only four cents a night. According to my algorithm, I would go back and forth, and one tael of silver and still have a surplus."


    Old Liu was indeed very careful and continued, "It''s not enough. He has thick skin and flesh. He stays on the carriage and can save four cents a day for accommodation."


    Qin Chi and Song Jin came over and heard Lao Liu settle the score.


    Song Jin''s mentality is inexplicable.


    On the contrary, Qin Chi was a little funny and couldn''t help but say, "My grandma, you think so, where do you want to pay for your uncle? You must know that the last time I just went to the provincial government to take the provincial examination, I asked for fifty taels. I think the necessary money will be more when I went to Beijing this time."


    "If you calculate it like this, my uncle doesn''t have to spend a ounce of it when he comes back." Song Jin continued half-jokingly.


    Lao Liu retorted, "Si''er of course is different. How can Lao Er compare with Si''er?"


    "It''s incomparable. One is beautiful and the other eats braised vegetables." Song Jin''s voice was soft, neither anxious nor dull, and the person involved was so anxious that he heard it.


    Go to the capital from Huizhou to take the exam.


    It takes more time to walk the waterway, and it takes about three or four months, and it takes about nineteen days to walk the official road.


    Sometimes calculation is one thing, but implementation is another.


    At this time, the steamed buns sold outside cost two cents, will not be pure white flour, and will also be mixed with other coarse grains. They cannot be considered delicious, and can only be considered as a way to satisfy your hunger.


    Not only did you keep rushing, but you also had to chew steamed buns every day, which no one could stand.


    No wonder Qin Laoer was unhappy to go.


    Old Man Qin looked at Old Liu with a warning gaze, "Go and get two taels of silver to give it to the second child."


    "Dad, I don''t want to go."


    Qin Laoer was heartbroken.


    In the eyes of his parents, he is only suitable for being a cow and horse, and no matter how much money he has, he cannot match his mother''s contemptuous attitude.


    Old Man Qin had no choice but to instruct Boss Qin: "Then let''s accompany Si''er to go there."


    Boss Qin has always been filial. After a while of silence, he nodded.


    Li didn''t say anything, but just carried his grandson back to the room.


    Qin Chi and Song Jin looked at each other.


    I regret it, I should stay in the temple for one more day.


    In the end, Qin Chi was not very relieved, so he asked Lao Huo to follow his father and go to Beijing with him.


    Lao Huo was so idle that he was about to grow hair, so he agreed immediately.


    When Qin Mingsong set off, he saw an extra man with a knife at the door, and was surprised.


    "Brother, who is this?"


    "Da Lang is worried, please come and **** us." Boss Qin smiled honestly.


    Qin Mingsong had no doubts.


    The students went to Beijing to take the exam, and those with the conditions would ask for escorts.


    The carriage set off and the Qin family took them all the way to the entrance of the village.


    The village chief, clan leader, a group of villagers were also given to him at the entrance of the village, and some people made some food to see him off.


    Qin Chi and Song Jin also came to the entrance of the village.


    In the name of coming to send Qin Mingsong, he actually came to send Boss Qin.


    Song Jin handed a big bag to Boss Qin, "This is what my mother prepared for Dad, so that you can take good care of yourself on the way and don''t let her worry."


    "Didn''t your mother come?"


    Boss Qin looked around and was a little disappointed when he didn''t see his wife.


    Qin Chi didn''t see this father, "I can''t bear to part with my mother, why should I respond again?"


    "If I don''t go, it will end up falling on your two uncles?" Boss Qin did not hide his son.


    Everyone knows that this is a chore.


    Boss Qin didn''t want his two younger brothers to make things difficult for him. When Old Man Qin asked, he responded.


    "I have to take good care of your mother at home. At most, I will be back for two months." Boss Qin has planned, and this trip will last for two months.


    After leaving this trip, I will not be fooled by sending my son to the imperial examination in the future.


    Qin Chi''s eyes fell on Lao Huo.


    Lao Huo patted his chest and silently promised that he would protect Boss Qin.


    The eyes of the two were very dim and were not seen by others. After all, Qin Chi was still worried and secretly took care of the way along the way, allowing people to take care of it.


    Wait until the carriage disappears at the corner on the road.


    The people who came to see each other out of the village also dispersed.


    Qin Chi, old man Qin, the patriarch and others stood aside and talked.


    Song Jin originally planned to go back.


    Song Xiu, who also came out to give her away, actually followed her this time.


    "Sister, let''s talk."


    Since Qin Mingsong took a concubine, Song Xiu has not chatted with Song Jin alone, and no longer comes to show off every moment like before.


    It seems to have grown up all of a sudden.


    But Song Jin knew that dogs could not change their shit.


    Song Jin walked towards the small house step by step, taking every step very steadily, not fast.


    Song Xiu followed suit, "I didn''t thank my sister for help last time."


    "Thank you for sending Qin Mingsong concubine?" Song Jin looked back at Song Xiu with a smile.


    Song Xiu''s face twisted for a moment, and then calmed down suddenly, "Isn''t there any way to do this? I can understand. I understand that my sister is doing it for me and has good intentions."
