Chapter 233 233. Money is not a burden.
The female member of the Du family who received Cheng Xi was a woman in her thirties, Mrs. Du’s daughter-in-law.
She was a very graceful woman, with a bit of bookishness between her eyebrows. She spoke softly but made people feel extremely comfortable. The two of them got along very well.
Cheng Xi looked at her calmly, sighing secretly that this is a model of a famous lady.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Du opposite was also surprised. As the topic continued to deepen, her original carelessness had long since faded away, and the smile on her face became much more sincere.
"I knew that Zijing was blessed. In this way, he would be able to catch up with the additional exams in the autumn."
"Your Majesty is kind and allows students all over the world to show their ambitions."
Unknowingly, half an hour passed, and the two became more and more interested in each other. Those who didn't know it thought they were best friends who had known each other for many years.
On the way here, Cheng Xi learned about the general situation of the Du family. Mrs. Du has two sons and one daughter. The eldest son is an official in Beijing, and his daughter has already been married. The second son is the wife of Huaiyuan Academy and is married to Zhang. He has two sons, eleven or twelve years old, who are still studying and understanding.
Mrs. Du has passed away, and there are no concubines in the Du family. After such a series of related people, the only female member of the Du family in Lin'an Mansion is Zhang, who is also the matron of the family.
Wow~
What kind of fairy family is the Du family? It is so harmonious.
Cheng Xi was very sure that Mrs. Zhang had a good relationship with Master Du Er, and it could be seen from her facial features that she lived a happy life.
"I have nothing to do at home. Sister Xiaoxi can come and sit here often."
"Thank you sister Yaru for the invitation. I will definitely come to bother you in the future."
When a familiar maid came in to report, Cheng Xi knew that the conversation of the people in front had come to an end.
Shen Xingluo's figure soon appeared outside the door, and Cheng Xi walked out of Du's house with him under Mrs. Du's somewhat thoughtful gaze.
"Madam, do you want to go shopping again?"
"Okay, it's a blessing to be able to see the beauty of Huaiyuan Academy."
The two of them walked together from "Family "Yuan" wandered along the main road. Perhaps due to the impact of the snowstorm, there were not many students returning to study after the New Year, and I only met a few people on the road.
"Is Zijing the name your father chose for you?"
"Yes, my mother died young and my father's health is not very good. He hopes that I will be well in my life."
Shen Xingluo His eyes were complicated. Whether it was a previous life or a do-over, his experience was far from this wish.
But he will definitely be able to protect his family and make them worry-free in this life.
Cheng Xi also realized that this topic was a bit heavy, so he changed his attention.
"Do Mr. Jiang and Mr. Du know each other? I thought they would come to visit the dean of the academy."
"Mr. Jiang had been an official in the court for decades, and he and Mr. Jiang were Jinshi in the same discipline, but his ambition was not Chaotang, resigned ten years ago and returned to Lin'an Prefecture to teach. "Educate people."
Shen Xingluo said, "Now Xie Wenbin, the magistrate of Lin'an Prefecture, is my husband's son-in-law, and Mr. Jiang intends to recommend him to take over the post of magistrate."
"." So this is the reason. My father-in-law is here to say hello?
This thought stayed in Cheng Xi's mind for a second, "Since they came to discuss it, they are inseparable. It seems that Mr. Jiang has a heavy weight in His Majesty's heart."
< br>
"Master Xie is the most suitable candidate."
Zhizhou is the highest local chief executive. His father-in-law has many connections and is not yet the Prime Minister. Even if the emperor chooses him with his eyes closed, he will be chosen.
"Will Prime Minister Zhou interfere?"
"The capital is bustling now. The snowstorm has delayed a lot of news, and he is beyond his reach."
Shen Xingluo took the lead. Follow the stone steps to the top and reach back.
Cheng Xi used his strength to take a step forward, and the scenery suddenly opened up. The mountains and plains were filled with tender green that had appeared recently, showing full of vitality.
This is the best viewing area. You can have a panoramic view of the entire academy, and you can still vaguely see Fucheng Street at the foot of the mountain.
"What a great place." The person who originally chose to build the academy here is definitely a talented person. If any student is not in a good mood, he will probably stand here for a while to ensure that he has an open mind and nothing will happen.
Compared with the endless sea, Cheng Xi prefers the feeling of standing on a high place and overlooking it.
"Madam, you like it here?"
"I do."
Cheng Xi nodded and changed her voice, "But I prefer Shenjia Village."
Shen Xingluo heard this Startled, his dark eyes looked at her intently, and the fingers holding the slender fingers tightened slightly, "Then let's go home?"
"Okay, go home."
The days in Shenjia Village were very pleasant.
Cheng Xi repeats the same thing every day. He teaches Shen Xingqi fighting skills for an hour in the morning, and spends the rest of the time studying medicine. In a short period of time, he has mastered two large volumes of herbal knowledge. .
Shen Xingluo was busier than before. Sometimes he would go out with Fuguang for a whole day. Even when he stayed in Shenjia Village, he would often stay in the study room, with more and more books piled on the bookshelves.
But those books were not just for imperial examinations. There were many account books and anecdotes compiled into volumes.
When the news came that the new prefect of Lin'an Prefecture had taken office, it was already mid-May.
At that time, Shennong Mountain behind the village was lush and green, and had returned to its former glory. The potato seedlings planted in the ground had grown taller, and even the soybean seedlings had grown taller.
The wooden door of the farmyard was pushed open, and a wet Shen Xingluo walked in.
"Is it raining outside?"
"The spring rain is not heavy, so it's okay."
"It's better to be careful. I'll make some ginger soup."
Cheng Xi put down the prepared medicinal ingredients and walked towards the kitchen. By the time she cut the ginger slices and put the jujubes in the pot to cook, Shen Xingluo had already changed out of his clothes.
"Fuguang and Su Zhan didn't come back together?"
"There are still some things in the city, Su Zhan stayed to deal with them, Fuguang followed the Hongwei Escort out of Lin'an Mansion."< br>
Shen Xingluo drank a cup of freshly brewed black tea, feeling a little warmer in his stomach.
Cheng Xi poured herself a glass, "Drink less, there will be ginger soup later, you must drink that."
Although their systems are much better than those of ordinary people, they still need to prevent colds. The granular cold medicine cannot be used directly, so they can only use ginger soup instead.
【Is the lady calling me? I'm here, I'm here, I'm here! 】
“I didn’t call you, so let’s turn off the mic.”
【￣へ￣】
【But little sister, you haven’t spoken to me for a long time~】< br>
"You are so happy making money now, do you still need someone to accompany you?"
It's just one thing, you ask so much, why don't you go to heaven.
【Hey, having too much money is not a burden, who can make more money? 】
“.” is the reason.
Cheng Xi was speechless for a long time, and glanced at the personal interface with consciousness. The balance of the interstellar coins was changing almost every second.
A trip to the apocalypse not only paid off a huge debt, but also opened a small shop that can make money at any time. Even if they are not in the apocalypse, they still have Xiao Wan to help take care of it. This feeling is simply not very satisfying.
This is also the reason why the two of them lived very casually after returning to ancient times.
