Because Dong's mother made a fuss, Wu's father was not in the mood to invite the people in the village to eat. He thought that he usually ran around for the big and small affairs of the village, and in the end there were still people who would believe Dong's mother's nonsense, and he only felt chilled.

Wu Bai understood why some people agreed with Mother Dong's words in the first place, but it was because of the jealousy of those people. How could those people really believe what Mother Dong said.

He had seen such a scene as early as in his previous life. At that time, his husband was also the first scholar in the village. After that, he didn't know how many people came to their house. It implies that his husband can only stop at being a scholar.

.But fortunately, his husband was not disturbed by those people. Not only was he admitted to the top spot, but he finally became the prime minister with less than one person and more than 10,000 people. Gotta go in.

Those people worry about his husband finding them to settle accounts all day long, but his husband disdains to have the same knowledge as those people. After becoming an official, he will not go back at all except to go back to his hometown to worship the elders during the New Year, which also makes those who want to flatter. His husband's popularity jumped.

Although Mother Dong disturbed the interest, the family still wanted to celebrate, so the Wu family simply prepared two tables of meals, invited the neighbors who were close to each other, and the maiden family of the two sister-in-law and husband, everyone. Enjoyed the meal together.

.Xingfeng Village was formed by refugees more than 20 years ago, so the Wu family did not have any clansmen or anything. Most of the villages were people with mixed surnames. At that time, the village chief Wu was appointed because he knew a few words. After becoming the village chief, this has been the case for so many years.

That's why Village Chief Wu knew the benefits of literacy, so he sent his two sons to the school. Now that the second son has been admitted to a scholar, it proves that his original choice was right. Village Chief Wu happily drank a few more glasses. He started talking about his youth.

It was only at this time that Wu Bai knew the origin of Xingfeng Village, because there was no such thing in the original body's memory, so Wu Bai guessed that the original body did not know this.

......

.On this day, Wu Bai was in Wu Kang'an's study. He was preparing to take Wu Kang'an's test to see if the other party's homework had been slack recently, because after Wu Kang'an was admitted to the scholar, he was busy. Which family in the village gave birth to a child, Will ask him to help choose a good name, or do a wedding, let him mention a good couplet.

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

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

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

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

"Brother Bai, it was my mother and father who asked me to stop you." Wu Erfu explained helplessly.

"Why? What are you doing to stop me?"

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

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

"It's the Dong family."

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

Wu Erfu nodded and said, "The one who married the little brother of Ning Yuanwai's family in the town, I heard that this brother is recruiting children, but somehow he is willing to marry the Dong family, you didn't see it, That box of dowry..." As he spoke, his tone became envious.

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

.Seeing that Wu Bai returned to the study, Erfu Wu completed the task that Wu Fulang gave him, so he went to Dafu Lang to continue the topic just now. After all, he hasn't had a good time talking!

This time the Dong family has a happy event. Except for Village Chief Wu, none of the others went. In fact, Village Chief Wu didn’t want to go either, but as the head of a village, he couldn’t make people feel that he was stingy and talked to a talkative husband. Comparing, so he still went.

But after he went, he returned as soon as he gave away his etiquette.

He was stopped by Wu Bai as soon as he came back.

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

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

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

.He originally thought that if Dong Heng didn't marry him, he should not be able to hurt the Wu family through him, but at this moment Dong Heng suddenly married the little brother of Ning Yuan's family in the town. In this way, the Dong family has money. , At that time, Dong Heng will definitely go to the county school to study, and finally he was successfully admitted to Juren, and even further became a Beijing official.

Thinking of this, Wu Bai had to be on guard. What if Dong Heng attacked the Wu family again after he became an official, let alone there is no such possibility. With his understanding of the Dong family's mother and son, once they gained power, That is to never let go of those who have had a holiday with them, such as the Wu family.

.So at this moment, Wu Bai hopes to persuade Wu's father to send Wu Kangan to the county school. In this way, Wu Kangan will have a better grasp of the township 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 to expand his thinking, and it is very good that Wu Kangan can be successfully admitted to the scholar.

Father Wu listened to Wu Bai's words without hesitation, and he agreed.

After all, it can make Wu Kangan's knowledge further, and maybe he will be able to take the exam in the future. Father Wu is not a fool, so why would he refuse.

The reason why he didn't think of sending Wu Kangan to the county school before was because he didn't think too much about it. He thought at the time that Wu Kangan had already entered Nanping Academy anyway.

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

.If you want to do it, you can do it, and now there is no shortage of money at home. Wu Bai gave him 60 taels of silver before, which is more than enough to send Wu Kangan to the county school.

Father Wu immediately asked Wu Bai to call Wu Kangan, and told the other party that he wanted to send Wu Kangan to the county school.

Wu Kangan was naturally overjoyed when he heard it, and he also felt that going to the county school would be better for his examiners.

The next day, Wu Kangan went to Nanping Academy and explained his situation to his master and the idea of ​​going to the county school.

Although the master was reluctant to give up, he also supported Wu Kangan to go to the county school. If Wu Kangan was admitted to Juren in the future, even if he did not bring it out himself, others would not forget that Wu Kangan's enlightenment teacher was him.

.With the support of the master, Wu Kangan quickly packed up all the things he left in the college classroom, and told the master to go to Liuxiang Restaurant in the town after school tomorrow, and he had already reserved a table of good wine in advance. Cai thanked the Master for his teachings.

Sure enough, as Wu Bai expected, it was only two days after Wu Kangan set off for the county school. He heard what his second brother said that Dong Heng also went to the county school to study, and he also brought his newlywed husband with him. county seat.

The threshold of the county school is neither high nor low. As long as the talented person has paid all the money, they can enter. There are dormitories in the county school. You can choose to live on campus or rent an apartment outside.

.Most of the people who brought their husbands like Dong Heng chose to live outside, but Wu Kangan chose to live in the dormitory. First, because Wu Erfu did not go with him, he lived alone in the dormitory. It's more convenient. Second, he doesn't want to waste more time on going back. Instead, he might as well spend a little more time going to the library of the county school to read books.

Wu Kangan went to the county school, and there was one less person talking beside Wu Bai, and suddenly he felt that the surroundings were much quieter.

In order to find something to do for himself, Wu Bai thought of his second original plan, which was to let the Wu family have a profitable income. After all, now Wu Kangan has entered the county school. Although the family has enough money, they can't just sit back and relax. .

Wu Bai thought about it for a while with his head in his arms, and then he came up with a suitable business for the Wu family, that is, selling braised pork.

.Because the Wu family does not have large-scale farms, the raw materials for braised pork must inevitably be purchased from the villagers in the village, and the villagers will be driven to do farming at that time, which is also a large amount of income. Come, their family's braised pork business will not arouse the jealousy of others. On the contrary, those villagers can't wait for his family's business to be better, because only when his family's business is good and he sells all the braised pork, will they sell the braised pork to the villagers. Buy a variety of chicken, duck or pork.

On this day, Wu Bai followed Wu's father to the town. When Wu's father put him in the bookstore again, he went to the condiment shop next to him and grabbed some seasonings that the braised pork needed. The shop owner saw his recipe, and he specially asked the owner to bring him some other seasonings.

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

"I bought seasonings." Wu Bai answered honestly.

"Seasoning!! By the way, I remembered that there are not enough seasonings at home. Your mother and father asked me to bring some seasonings back. Well, fortunately, Brother Bai, you remembered it." Father Wu slapped his thigh excitedly. Said, he 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 kinds of seasonings my parents let me bring. I hope the seasoning you buy 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 shop to buy seasonings, so he recognized the packaging box containing the seasonings at a glance. They were all seasonings, and he was a little surprised: "I just asked you two to bring some salt and pepper noodles back. Why did you buy so many? When will you eat them?"

After listening to Wu Fulang's words, Wu Bai quickly 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, "Father, this is me. Bought for other uses."

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