Chapter 273 Meeting at the top
Qu Yuanxun clasped his fists and nodded towards Yu Kangle: "Your Majesty's will, I dare not speculate, but that corn was donated to the court by my wife. I hope that our Dongxia will get better and better."
Yu Kangle looked at the two sisters Lin Lin and Lin Ting: "Mrs. Qu and Mrs. Lin are also heroines.
And Shen Qingzhou, I've read your article and it's very well written. I'm very optimistic about you in the Autumn Examination next month."
Shen Qingzhou also nodded to Lord Yu: "Thank you Lord Yu for your praise!"
During the meal, everyone was speaking passionately. Yu Kangle was going back to the capital, and he was reluctant to leave Wenzhu County.
The culture and customs here are very good, and he has fallen in love with Wushan pepper. He is really worried that he will never be able to eat it again after returning to the capital.
"Mrs. Lin, I don't know if I can still eat your Wushan chili peppers when I return to the capital."
"Master Yu, I believe that in the near future, our chili peppers will be available in the capital. If not this year, they will definitely be available next year."
The pepper yield is very high, and Lin Ting wants to expand it. The more people grow it, the better it will be for the Wushan workshop.
"We have a new product in our workshop, chili oil. When you return to Beijing, I will give you some. When you cook, adding a little chili can enhance the flavor."
After eating chili peppers, Yu Kangle really became a fan of spicy food.
"In that case, thank you very much, Madam Lin. I really hope you can get the chili peppers to the capital as soon as possible."
After the banquet, on the day Yu Kangle was leaving, Lin Ting and Qu Yuanxun all took time out to see him off.
"Master Yu, the journey to the capital is long. I wish you a smooth journey."
Yu Kangle patted Qu Yuanxun's shoulder, feeling reluctant to leave: "County Magistrate Qu, we'll see you in the capital next time."
Lin Ting also gave Yu Kangle a cart of dried chilies: "Master Yu, I have sealed this carriage of dried chilies and chili oil. When you go back, you can share them with your family and friends to try."
Lin Ting sent a carriage full of chili peppers. If Wushan chili peppers became well-known in the capital, they would have no trouble selling them in the future.
"Great! People in the capital will definitely love Wushan peppers, especially the barbecue seasoning made by Madam Lin. After I get it to the capital, I will definitely invite all my friends to try it."
Barbecue seasoning is Yu Kangle's favorite. Before leaving, he wanted to buy some to take back, but Lin Ting gave it to him anyway.
Watching the carriage go farther and farther away, everyone has his own way home, and next time, they will meet at the top.
……
There are still many businessmen in Wushan Village, but the villagers have already handled them well.
The bumper corn harvest also allowed the people of Wushan Village to earn a lot of money, and several young men in the village got married.
Even Shen Zhuang was engaged to a girl from the next village, and they were only waiting to get married by the end of this year.
Yang Tong's family also bought a lot of new clothes and fabrics, so their clothes were no longer tattered.
The village chief and several families are planning to build new houses next year, replacing their mud houses with large brick and tile houses.
Lin Ting and Lin Lin also became the two most distinguished guests of the money house. As long as they moved their fingers, the whole Wenzhu County would tremble.
Hua Yan's monthly income is recorded in gold, and Chayulou is also thriving under Xiaofu's management.
Not to mention their farm, where they planted a lot of peppers. Lin Lin gave the money from selling the peppers to Madam Qu and Qu Yuanxun as pocket money.
On Lin Ting's side, Shen Dali and Yang Xiuxiu also became indifferent, and more and more people came to the village.
In addition to cooking for Lin Ting and others and taking care of Shen's mother, Yang Xiuxiu wanted to learn to write for the first time.
Since someone is doing the work in the fields, there won't be any trouble if she studies and learns calligraphy and then helps out in the workshop in the future.
"Lin Ting, I'm so old, and I'm still studying these books of Xiaobao. Will I be unable to learn them?"
Lin Ting sorted out the enlightenment books that Shen Wanyi had studied, and also took out a set of the four treasures of the study and gave it to Yang Xiuxiu.
"Grandma, you never stop learning. You are still young, it's not too late to learn these things. Don't worry about not being able to learn them."
There is a teacher at home who can teach you a little bit and there is nothing you can’t learn.
"I think Lin Ting is right. People should keep learning as long as they live."
Lin Ting was happy to see Yang Xiuxiu suddenly want to study. She supported Yang Xiuxiu very much and believed that women should enrich themselves.
August!
When the people in Wushan Village saw that Lin Ting had started planting autumn corn again, they all started to prepare.
This autumn rain came just in time. It started raining just as we finished burning the corn stalks.
Once the rain stops, we can plow the fields, sow seeds, and wait for the next season's corn to mature.
This year everyone also planted rice, and after paying the grain tax, they no longer had to worry about going hungry, and everyone also had new cotton-padded clothes.
Having enough food and warm clothes is the happiest thing for them.
The second day of August is also the busiest day in the Shen residence. The Autumn Examination, held every three years, is held on the ninth day of August. Shen Qingzhou came out of the academy yesterday.
Lin Ting, Yang Xiuxiu and Shen Dali were all trying their best to prepare the things needed for the exam for Shen Qingzhou.
"Qingzhou, these shoes are all made by me for you. Those you buy outside may not fit your feet. These are breathable and not stuffy."
Shen Qingzhou had already missed this provincial examination once due to injury. The weather changed in autumn, and Yang Xiuxiu heard that people with leg injuries were particularly fond of pain.
The closer the time got, the more nervous she became, and she couldn't sleep at night.
"Mom, I don't need so many shoes, and I have confidence in myself, so you don't have to worry too much."
Lin Ting packed some comfortable clothes for her to wear, as the provincial examination would be held in a closed environment and would last for nine days.
Lin Ting couldn't help him with knowledge, but he still let him focus on comfort.
"Shen Qingzhou, look at what I prepared, is there anything missing?"
Lin Ting was afraid that he couldn't see, so he spread out all the things on the table so that he could see at a glance whether anything was missing.
Shen Qingzhou confirmed everything, including pens, ink, paper, inkstone, clothes, etc., and each one was of the best quality.
"Well! That's enough!"
Shen Wanyi couldn't help much. She and An Yue stood at the door, only sticking their heads out to look at their parents inside.
She knew that her father was going to Minzhou to take the provincial examination, and that this examination was very important to her father.
Seeing that he couldn't help, Shen Dali went to the kitchen to move the food to the table and asked Shen Qingzhou and Lin Ting to come and have breakfast first.
After eating, they set off for Minzhou. The provincial examination was held in Minzhou, and Lin Ting also wanted to go with Shen Qingzhou.
During the meal, everyone's attention was on Shen Qingzhou, only Lin Ting was looking at Shen Wanyi.
"Xiaobao, while your parents are away, you must listen carefully to the teacher and the nanny. When your mother comes back, she will bring you a gift."
Lin Ting also hired a nanny for Shen Wanyi. Now she is less playful and more dignified.
"I understand. I wish Daddy to be on the list and have a successful start."
