Chapter 141 Wu Ming

After coming to Pingzhou for a week, Zhulan is familiar with the surrounding environment. Zhou Shuren is busy studying, or going out to socialize with Zhao Bo.

Today, Zhou Shuren not only went out by himself, but also brought Ming Qing and Shumo with him, and he didn't come back for lunch at noon.

It was also rare for Mrs. Wu and Li to go home without food, Zhulan asked, "Aren't you going to bring it back for the children?"

Wu Lishi smiled, "The four of them went to grandma's house, and I was the only one at home."

Zhulan's eyes lit up, and Wu Lishi was not in a hurry to go back, she happened to be able to chat with Wu Lishi for a while.

The neighbors around are very proud. The family on the left is a scholar, and the relatives on the right are petty officials. They have inquired about Zhulan’s family clearly. Zhou Shuren still takes the examination for a scholar at a young age. People look down on him and think that Zhou Shuren is not worth paying. Zhulan came to visit according to the etiquette, the two families were neither salty nor salty, Zhulan had a smile on her face.

After returning home, she carefully inquired about the situation of the two families. The neighbors thought that the Zhou family was not worth making friends with, so she wanted to check it out. If Zhao Bo wasn't afraid of trouble, she would have asked to inquire when she first came to Pingzhou.

After inquiring, Zhulan knew in her heart that the scholar's family was pure scholarly arrogance, and the neighbor on the right was pure contempt, but there was no evil intention.

Zhulan is relieved, as long as the etiquette is up to date, so the only person who can talk is Wu and Li.

Mrs. Wu and Li get along well with Zhulan. Knowing that Zhou's family is kind-hearted and doesn't look down on her, they often ask her to bring back some food. She is grateful and doesn't go home after dinner, but stays to chat.

Mrs. Wu talked about the difficulties of life, "Ordinary people in the city are not living as well as those in the countryside. They need to spend money for everything, unlike having their own land in the countryside. Although there is not much left after paying taxes, they can be tightened." You won’t really starve to death in your belt, at least food doesn’t cost money, and you can grow vegetables to eat in the vegetable garden, so self-sufficiency is no problem.”

Zhulan agrees, "Life in the city is indeed not easy, and it will be even more difficult when there is a natural disaster."

Mrs. Wu and Li trembled, "Whoever says no, let's say that there was a severe drought four years ago. Before the drought became a drought, the food price doubled. If it wasn't for the food price increase, my youngest son and daughter-in-law would not Died unexpectedly in a man-made accident."

Seeing Mrs. Wu and Li touching her tears, Zhulan hurriedly comforted her, "The days will pass and the better. Your eldest grandson is about to become a talent, and he can also comfort the spirits of the two of them."

Mrs. Wu Li wiped away her tears, and there was a smile on her face, "This kid is sensible. He is only fifteen this year. The old man and I didn't expect him to pass the county test. I can't wait to pray to Buddha every day and hope that the Lord Buddha will bless this kid Wu Ming. Pass the exam and become a scholar."

Zhulan said along the way: "It will definitely."

Everyone likes to hear good words, and Wu Li smiled, "I owe you a good word."

The next day it was the day of the government examination, Zhulan sent Zhou Shuren out the door, the genius was bright, Zhulan didn't think much about it at first, but Wu Lishi often mentioned it when she was thinking about her grandson, so Zhulan's heart also followed.

When Zhou Shuren came back at night, Zhulan felt at ease. There were several government exams, so Zhulan bought several hens for Zhou Shuren to supplement.

In the evening, Zhulan didn't ask, Zhou Shuren was quite tired, and he had an early rest after eating to refresh himself.

Although Zhou Shuren didn't say how he did in the exam, Zhulan knew from Zhou Shuren's expression that he did well in the exam. As for Ming Qing and Shu Mo, they both looked like food, and they didn't even have a good appetite for good food.

In order to form a good relationship, Zhulan will bring back some of the meals cooked by Wu Li in the past few days. Wu Li is very grateful, and from the smile on Wu Li's face, she knows that Wu Ming did well in the exam.
