Because Dong's mother made such a scene, Wu's father was in no mood to invite the people in the village to dinner. He thought that he was usually busy with the village's affairs, and in the end, some people would believe Dong's mother's nonsense, so he just felt chilled.

Wu Bai understood why some people echoed Mother Dong's words in the first place, but it was because of their jealousy, and those people didn't really believe Mother Dong's words.

He had seen this kind of situation in his previous life. At that time, his husband was also admitted to be the first scholar in the village. After that, many people came to their house. Congratulations in the open and jealous in the secret. It implies that his husband can only stop at a scholar.

But fortunately, his husband was not disturbed by those people. Not only was he admitted to the number one scholar, but in the end he became the prime minister with one person under one man and over ten thousand people. Go in.

Those people were worried all day long that his husband would ask them to settle accounts, but his husband didn't bother to be as knowledgeable as those people. After becoming an official, he didn't go back at all except to go back to his hometown to worship his elders during the Chinese New Year, which also made those people want to curry favor The hop of his husband's popularity.

Although Dong's mother disturbed the interest, my family still wanted to celebrate, so the Wu family simply bought two tables of meals, invited close neighbors, and the natal families of the two sister-in-laws. We happily ate this meal together.

Xingfeng Village was formed by refugees more than 20 years ago, so the Wu family has no clansmen or anything. Most of the villages are from families with mixed surnames. At that time, the village head Wu became a villager because he knew a few words. Long, this should be so many years.

It is also for this reason that Village Chief Wu knew the benefits of literacy, so he sent his two sons to school. Now that the second son has passed the exam as a scholar, it further proves that his original choice was not wrong. Village Chief Wu drank a few more glasses happily, He started talking about his youth.

It was at this time that Wu Bai knew the origin of Xingfeng Village, because the original body did not have this in his memory, so Wu Bai guessed that the original body did not know this either.

......

On this day, Wu Bai was in Wu Kang'an's study room. He was preparing to take Wu Kang'an's exam to see if he had slackened in his homework recently, because after Wu Kang'an was admitted as a scholar, he became busy. Which family in the village gave birth to a child? I would ask him to help me choose a good name, or hold a happy event and ask him to mention a good couplet.

I heard the laughter and noise of many people outside, accompanied by the sound of firecrackers during this period.

He was a little curious as to whose family was hosting the wedding, so he walked out of the study, wanting to see what happened.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by his second brother.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Wu Bai asked suspiciously.

"Brother Bai, it was my parents who asked me to stop you." Mrs. Wu Erfu explained helplessly.

"Why? Stop me for what?"

Mrs. Wu Erfu looked complicated, looked at Wu Bai and asked, "Do you know who is getting married today?"

Wu Bai shook his head: "I don't know, isn't this just planning to go out and have a look? It sounds quite lively."

"It's the Dong family."

"The Dong family? Dong Heng!" Wu Bai was surprised for a moment, and then asked again: "Then brother, do you know who the other party is marrying?"

Mrs. Wu Erfu nodded and said: "I married a younger brother from Ning Yuan's family in the town. I heard that this brother was looking for a wife, but somehow he was willing to marry into Dong's family. Didn't you see that? Those boxes of dowry..." As she spoke, her tone became envious.

"Oh, that's it!" Wu Bai knew what he wanted to know, and he didn't pay attention to other things, and he didn't want to watch the fun anymore, so he turned and went back to the study.

Seeing that Wu Bai had returned to the study, Erfulang Wu had completed the task assigned to him by Wu Fulang, so he went to find Dafulang Wu to continue the topic just now, after all, he hadn't finished talking yet!

This time the Dong family had a happy event, except for village head Wu, no one else went. In fact, village head Wu didn't want to go, but as the head of a village, he couldn't make people think that he was stingy, and that he was with a tongue-twisting husband. He didn't care about it, so he went anyway.

But after he went, he gave away his etiquette and came back.

As soon as he came back, he was stopped by Wu Bai.

"Father, I have something to tell you, you sit here first." Wu Bai pushed him on a chair in the yard and sat down.

Father Wu asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

"Father, let's send the second brother to study in the county seat!" Wu Bai suggested.

He originally thought that if Dong Heng didn't marry him, he wouldn't be able to hurt the Wu family through him, but at this moment, Dong Heng suddenly married the younger brother of Ning Yuan's family in the town, so that the Dong family would be rich. At that time, Dong Heng will definitely go to the county school to study, and finally successfully pass the exam, and even go one step further to become a Beijing official.

Thinking of this, Wu Bai had to take precautions. What if Dong Heng once again attacked the Wu family after he became an official? Not to mention that there was no such possibility. Based on his understanding of the Dong family's mother and son, once they gained power, That is, they will never let go of those who have a feud with them, such as the Wu family.

So at this moment, Wu Bai hopes to persuade Wu's father to send Wu Kang'an to go to the county school together. In this way, Wu Kang'an will have greater confidence in the rural examination next year. After all, no matter how talented Wu Bai is, he is not as good as the teachers and resources of the college, and there are more books there. , and Wu Bai can only help Wu Kangan expand his thinking, and it is already very good that Wu Kangan can successfully pass the exam.

Father Wu didn't hesitate after hearing Wu Bai's words, so he agreed.

After all, Wu Kang'an's knowledge can be further improved, and he may be able to pass the exam in the future. Wu's father is not a fool, so why would he refuse.

The reason why he didn't think of sending Wu Kang'an to the county school before was because he didn't think too carefully. He thought that Wu Kang'an had already enrolled in Nanping Academy anyway.

But now that Wu Bai mentioned the county school, he felt that it would be better to go to the county school.

Do what you want, and now the family is not short of money, Wu Bai gave him 60 taels of silver before, and the money is more than enough to send Wu Kang'an to the county school.

Wu's father immediately asked Wu Bai to call Wu Kang'an, and told the other party that he wanted to send Wu Kang'an to the county school.

Wu Kang'an was naturally overjoyed when he heard that, and he also felt that going to the county school would be better for him to take the Juren exam.

The next day, Wu Kang'an went to Nanping Academy and explained his situation and his plan to go to the county school to his master.

Although the master was reluctant, he still supported Wu Kang'an to go to the county school. If Wu Kang'an was admitted to Juren in the future, even if he didn't bring it out himself, others would not forget that Wu Kang'an's first teacher was him.

With the support of his master, Wu Kang'an quickly packed up all the things he left in the college classroom, and told his master to go to Liuxiang Restaurant in the town after school tomorrow. He has already booked a table of good wine in advance. Cai thanked the Master for his teaching.

Sure enough, as Wu Bai expected, within two days of Wu Kangan's departure for the county school, he heard his second brother say that Dong Heng also went to the county school, and he brought his newlywed husband along with him. the county seat.

The threshold of the county school is neither high nor low, as long as you are a scholar and pay all the money, you can enter. There are dormitories in the county school. You can choose to live on campus, or you can choose to rent a house outside.

Most people like Dong Heng with their husbands choose to live outside, but Wu Kangan chooses to live in the dormitory. Firstly, it is because Wu Erfulang did not go with him, so it is better for him to live in the dormitory alone. It's more convenient, and secondly, he doesn't want to waste more time going back. Instead of doing this, he might as well spend more time going to the library library of the county school to read.

When Wu Kang'an went to the county school, Wu Bai lost one person to talk to, and suddenly felt that the surroundings were much quieter.

In order to find something for himself to do, Wu Bai thought of his original second plan, which was to let the Wu family have a profitable income. After all, now that Wu Kang'an has entered the county school, although the family's money is enough, they can't sit still. .

Wu Bai held his head and thought for a while before he came up with a suitable business for the Wu family, which was selling braised pork.

Because the Wu family does not have a large-scale breeding farm, it is inevitable that the raw materials for stewed meat must be purchased from the villagers in the village. When the time comes, it will drive the villagers to do breeding, which is also a considerable income. Come on, their braised pork business will not arouse the jealousy of others. On the contrary, those villagers hope that his family's business will be better, because only when his family's business is good and they sell all the braised pork, will they sell the braised pork to the villagers. Buy all kinds of chicken, duck or pork.

On this day, Wu Bai went to the town with Wu's father. When Wu's father put him in the bookstore again, he ran to the nearby seasoning shop to grab some seasonings for braised pork. The shop owner saw his formula, and he specially asked the boss to bring him some other seasonings.

In the afternoon, when Wu Bai followed Wu's father home, Wu's father saw that he had big bags and small bags, so he hurriedly picked up some things and put them in his hands, and asked, "Brother Bai, what did you buy?" ah?"

"I bought the seasoning." Wu Bai replied honestly.

"Seasoning!! By the way, I remembered, the seasoning at home is not enough, your parents asked me to bring some seasoning back, um, fortunately, brother Bai, you remembered it." Father Wu slapped his thigh excitedly Said, almost spilled the seasoning in his hand, but fortunately he put it away in time.

Wu Bai's face was full of black lines: "..." He didn't remember either.

I don't know what seasonings my parents asked me to bring?I hope the seasoning I bought has it in it!

After the two returned home, Wu Fulang hurriedly took the things in their hands and put them down. Wu Fulang often went to the seasoning store to buy seasonings, so he recognized the packing box containing the seasonings at a glance. All of them are seasonings, and I was a little surprised: "I just asked you two to bring back some salt and pepper noodles. Why did you buy so much? When will you eat it?"

Hearing Wu Fulang's words, Wu Bai hurriedly found out the salt and pepper noodles and handed them to him, then gathered up the other seasonings, put them in the corner of the kitchen cupboard, and said, "Mother and father, this is my Bought for other uses."

Wu Fulang has always doted on Wu Bai, and when he saw what Wu Bai said, he asked a lot, but he guessed in his heart that Wu Bai might have grown up and had his own thoughts, so he wanted to go into the kitchen to learn cooking skills, and those seasonings were his for practice.
