Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 440: Su He and the others are going to Fucheng to accompany the exam

While preparing here, other things did not stop, the farming continued, and the things that needed to be raised gradually increased. In the past few years, Su He bought some farms one after another, and even spent a lot of money to try to buy a small farm near the capital.

This was to prepare for their future trip to the capital. She believed that her brothers would be able to pass the provincial examination and go to the capital to take the exam. This time, neither she nor her father went. They directly sent Feng Dayuan with two people. They just needed to take care of everything.

Two months later, Feng Dayuan came back exhausted and handed them a farm deed with 18 acres of land and a price of 1,000 taels of silver. The farm was not far from the capital, so it would be very convenient to supply goods to the city in the future.

Su He and the others all knew that to live in the capital, they couldn't just rely on the shop here, they needed to open a shop there to make money. Only by earning money in the capital could they make a lot of money, otherwise they would always be local rich people.

As long as something doesn't happen, you can't prevent or change it in advance. Sometimes you think that something has changed because of you, but after several years, you will find that it was God's arrangement. Everything has cause and effect, but the person involved is confused.

After Su He and his friends had been in the border town for several months, the family of three was going to the provincial capital again. Because the provincial examination for Su He's brothers was approaching, they wanted to accompany them. On the way back, they stopped by the town to ask if their uncle and his wife wanted to go with them.

They are very busy now. Their shop is gradually expanding and they have also bought a farm. They sell everything grown on the farm in their shop.

My uncle often said that they were different from his younger brother, and they were very happy and satisfied to open this business. It was good to stay at home and go back home to see his parents every day. There had to be someone to look after the family, so let him stay at home!

Su He is very close to his uncle and aunt, and for this reason, they never complain or get jealous, whether they are poor or rich. They have a clear understanding of themselves, never aim too high, and always do their best.

This time they also took three carriages to travel, so that everyone could be comfortable. Su He took two maids, Su He's mother and father took one carriage, and the others took one carriage. The group arrived at the uncle's shop in Baima Town. They saw that the shop assistants were busy, Su He's uncle was busy in the kitchen, and Su He's aunt was sitting behind the counter collecting money. It looked busy and orderly.

When Su He and his friends entered the store, everyone knew each other and nodded to each other. When Su He's aunt saw them coming, she smiled and asked them to go to the back room while she found someone to take their place.

Uncle Su He heard the familiar voice and came out of the kitchen, smiling and calling them to go to the back for tea.

After everyone sat down, Su He's father told them about their plans and asked his eldest brother, "We are going to the capital city. Su Pei and the others are going to take exams. Do you want to go with us?"

Uncle Su He said, "We won't go. It's very busy here. Our parents need us to look after them. We'll leave it to you. We have nothing to worry about."

Su He's aunt also said, "It will take more than a month to go back and forth, and we can't leave home for such a long time. You just go and look after them, and the children will be left to you when the time comes."

Su Niang smiled and said, "They are all our own children. They have studied together since they were young. Everything is the same for them. Don't worry. Parents, you should worry a lot. You will be gone for a long time."

Su He's father said, "When the results of the prefectural exam come out, someone will send good news to our family. Remember to prepare in advance. The children will be fine. You won't have to panic when the time comes."

Su He Niang glanced at Su Dad and said angrily, "Don't let outsiders hear it. If something unexpected happens, you won't be able to save your face."

Su He smiled and said, "It must be right to carry it on my back, but I'll prepare more change for the reward money. I wonder if the four brothers will win together."

Su He's aunt also laughed and said, "We will borrow Su He's good wishes. If all four brothers pass the exam, we will hold a big banquet. We will pay for it, and you can't snatch it from us."

Su He Niang smiled and said, "Okay, you pay for it all, and we can save a lot of money."

Su He's father joked with Su He's uncle, "Look, you're talking about me! You're even more ambitious than me. All four brothers will pass the exam. Okay, then we'll have a three-day banquet and celebrate."
