Houfu Key Class

The gate of Gongyuan was still so lively. Confident young prodigies from various academies gathered together. The elders of the family carried items for examinations and sent the children to Gongyuan for the five-day and four-night examination.

"Damn it, the children's department regulations require a group of children to take exams in the Tribute Academy. Can't you let my son go home to sleep at night?"

"I heard there are rats inside. This is going to scare my son into trouble. I'll give them endless trouble."

"Son, you have to be careful. If you feel uncomfortable, just give up the exam. When we grow up, we will directly take the imperial exam. We don't have to take the exam for this boy, and we won't give him an official title. What's the use?"

"..."

There was a new group of students at the gate of Gongyuan, and the new group of elders were still scolding this broken rule.

Xu Wan rubbed her nose and thought to herself: If it weren't for the baggage of status, she would have wanted to join in and curse a few words.

Mrs. Wei next to her actually wanted to scold him, but Mrs. Shen's husband was now an official in the Ministry of Etiquette, and it was not easy for her to show off in front of others. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shen finally scolded him: "Broken the rules."

"Pfft..." The ladies laughed together.

Xu Wan noticed with sharp eyes that although Mrs. He was also laughing with them, there was sadness in her eyes. She asked considerately: "Sister, what happened at home?"

Mrs. He said sadly: "My family is sick and I miss Zheng'er a little. I want to take him back to live with him for a few days after I finish his paediatrics exam."

Xu Wan immediately said: "Of course there is no problem. He Zheng has indeed not been home much in the past two years. It is my negligence. I should advise him to come home more often."

Mrs. He smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay, just wait until he comes home this time."

After going back this time, I probably won’t be able to come out again. The Shen family is now in a high and powerful position, and the Wei family is from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so the two families are naturally not that afraid. Only his family has a weak foundation and cannot afford to offend Luo Jingfeng.

But she couldn't say this. She had to maintain her family's face, so she could only break her teeth and swallow blood.

Xu Wan comforted her and didn't think about anything else for a moment. She just thought that if her family members were sick, she would be in a bad mood.

Without the three young ladies at home, the big study was obviously not that lively, but Xu Wan was the most comfortable. She quickly found an opportunity to arrange a new course for them: "You guys should practice some numerical problems these days."

"Number questions?" The two said in unison, smelling a new learning direction.

The brothers became excited, and after a while, Butler Liu put the account book in front of them.

"..."

Zong Jincheng said dissatisfied: "Mom... what kind of numerical question is this? Isn't this looking at the account book? Accounting is the internal affairs of the house, what are we doing looking at this?"

Zong Wenxiu also scratched his head, not quite understanding.

Grandma is in charge of everything in the inner house. Even if it is passed down in the future, it will be passed down to the aunt. Housekeeper Liu will help. It seems that learning this will not help them much in the imperial examination.

Xu Wan patted the account book and reminded: "When you take charge of a company in the future, all the expenses of the subordinates will have to be approved by your hand. If you don't know how to read the account book, how can you manage people? Huh? The future second-grade officials? "

The brothers, the future second-grade officers, immediately realized: "I understand! Watch it now!"

Xu Wan laughed and ordered Butler Liu to tutor him. The two brothers would ask him if they encountered something they didn't know how to do.

Butler Liu, who had always only been a housekeeper, was suddenly promoted to a distinguished professor. He was so confident that he wanted to show it off on his forehead. This was his comfort zone. Let’s see if he didn’t show off to the young masters!

"This is expenditure, this is income. Of course, the income of our Marquis Mansion is very high, but that is not the point. The point is expenditure. You two young masters, look at this..."

"oh……"

Stingy Cheng frowned the more he looked at it: "Our house actually spends so much money in a month?"

Butler Liu rolled his eyes in his heart and said to himself: Young Master, you don’t have much fun by yourself before.

But on the surface, he had to explain seriously: "Because there are many people in the house, there are fixed expenses for each item. Mr. Cheng, look at this."

The two young boys were facing each other, looking at the account books and asking questions. After asking, Butler Liu started to roll his eyes. He thought he would be a majestic master for one day, but later when he explained, he started to roar: "The accounts of our house are It’s very clean, no one is corrupt, no one is making false accounts, the rice is specially supplied, the vegetables are the best, and even the brooms used to sweep the floors are from the same place!”

Zong Wenxiu said: "Our family is very rich."

Zong Jincheng touched his nose and sighed: "It's really amazing. Even the broom is ranked third, sixth or ninth grade."

Butler Liu: "..." Just kill me.

After torturing Butler Liu like this for five days, the children's examination in Gongyuan was finally over, and the group went to pick up the three young ladies again.

"Jincheng! Jincheng! Take that question again!" Wei Xinglu shouted at him as soon as he came out.

The little devil groaned and said, "What?"

Shen Yibai laughed wildly and said, "That's the question Qin Ye reminded you of. You said you wouldn't take the exam back to back, but you took the exam again this year! Hahaha, Jincheng, admit defeat, you can't compete with Qin Ye, he is The undoubted champion of this year!”

He Zheng was covering his mouth frantically, but couldn't hold him back. Shen Yibai jumped up and down to challenge the little devil.

On the way here today, Zong Jincheng was told by Xu Wan to prepare three bouquets of flowers for the three of them. Shen Yibai's words made him look like a little idiot now holding the flowers in his hands.

The little devil gritted his teeth, threw the flowers to Shunzi, then rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward: "Shen Yibai, I will fight with you!"

Shen Yibai was not to be outdone, and rushed forward recklessly: "Come on, come on, I'm almost exhausted after staying in there for five days, what a waste of a place, come and fight!"

The elders at the entrance of the Imperial Academy laughed together, and the servants carried the young masters' belongings to the carriage one after another. Madam He wanted to have someone take He Zheng's belongings back, but she gave up because she was afraid that He Zheng would find something unusual.

"Sister, I will take He Zheng back now. Thank you for taking care of this child."

Xu Wan felt awkward when she heard this. She always felt that it was not a farewell for only a few days. It shouldn't be like that. Even if she was going to leave, she would at least say it.

She comforted Madam He: "It's okay, sister. The company of family is the most important. You take He Zheng back home first."

"Yeah, yeah." Madam He held her hand and then walked towards He Zheng.

Xu Wan looked at her hand and thought of the contact just now. Madam He's hand seemed to be shaking. Was it her illusion?

"He Zheng, come here, mother has something to tell you." Madam He waved at him, and saw the young boy put away his happy smile and asked about his family's health with concern.

After a while, He Zheng also came over to say goodbye to Xu Wan: "Aunt, I'm going home first, and I'll come back to study in a few days."

Xu Wan smiled and said: "Go ahead, we'll all be waiting for you to come back."

"Okay!" He Zheng was about to leave after saying that, but after a few steps he turned back and said with bright eyes, "Aunt, I think I did very well in the exam this time, and I will definitely get first place in the whole capital. When the time comes, I will be able to bring honor to you and our key class!"
