The spring exam was lively for a while, then gradually subsided, and the days went on as usual.
In the summer, Yuan Bao could already sit up, and Lu Lin spread bamboo mats all over the floor of the room, so that Yuan Bao could crawl everywhere on the bamboo mats.
Yuanbao can already grasp things, and Xiaodong has a unique interest in throwing things.
Chen Xiaomai likes Yuan Bao's nephew very much. After Yuan Bao throws things out, Xiao Mai will help to pick up the thrown things. The two of them have a great time playing. Yuan Bao should have begun to recognize life at this age. Yes, but Yuan Bao is an acquaintance.
No one cries when hugged, of course, there is a difference. Although Yuan Bao is a fat baby, he is very reserved and rarely cries or laughs on weekdays.
If someone you are familiar with is comfortable, Yuan Bao will occasionally give a smiley face, if someone you are not familiar with, Yuan Bao will sleep with your eyes closed. Good boy will be kidnapped and sold.
His son is so calm and composed, even if he is caught by traffickers, he probably won't cry or make noise. Lu Lin thought about it, and felt that although his son usually doesn't make trouble, if he is not careful, he will starve him. It's like a demon possessing a body, crying loudly, if you want to coax it well, it will take a lot of effort.
Lu Lin is very satisfied with the life here, and some new products are launched in the store from time to time to ensure the source of customers.
Children grow up very fast, Yuan Bao will be one year old in a blink of an eye.
Yuan Bao is plump and has fair skin. Looking at her fleshy body, she can't help but want to pinch it when she sees it.
Although Yuan Bao looked a bit fleshy, his actions were indeed very agile.
When it was time for the birthday party, Lu Lin prepared Zhou Catch Ceremony for Yuan Bao.
Lu Lin spread out a bamboo mat in the room, on which were placed pens, ink, paper, inkstone, calculations, coins, ingots... After preparing everything, Lu Lin put the ingots in front of the bamboo mat.
Yuan Bao seemed a little confused about the situation in front of him, and yawned lazily.
Chen Xiaomai glanced at Lu Lin, and said, "Brother Lin, Yuan Bao is not interested in these things! Doesn't it mean he doesn't even like them!"
Lu Lin took a look at Chen Maimai, and said, "Why are you not interested? Yuanbao just hasn't been activated yet." Listen, the so-called silence is already a blockbuster, which is probably what his son looks like now.
Chen Maimai said disapprovingly, "I don't think he likes it."
Chen Xiaomai picked out half a noodle cake from his pocket and put it on the bamboo mat. Lu Lin saw what Chen Xiaomai had brought out, and smoked it. Most likely he still likes to eat it, but he wants to eat it, no Does that prove to be a foodie
Lu Lin looked at Yuan Bao, and his heart suddenly sank. Yuan Bao bit his finger and looked around, as if he was not tempted by the dough cake that Mai Mai put down.
Lu Lin looked at Yuan Bao's appearance and thought to himself: My son is so upbeat that he is not tempted by delicious food.
Seeing his son's delay in mobilizing, Chen Xiaomi finally lost his temper, and kept calling Yuan Bao to grab things. Yuan Bao was greeted by Chen Xiaomi for a long time, and seemed to understand something.
Yuan Bao moved his chubby legs and grabbed a string of coins.
It is not the best choice to choose money first here, and it will be considered to be full of copper stink.
However, Lu Lin felt that Yuan Bao liked money very well. Without money, it is absolutely impossible. It seems that his son is still very pragmatic.
After Yuan Bao grabbed the coin, he threw it out.
Lu Lin blinked, and thought to himself: I actually threw it out. This is money! My son's attitude won't make him a prodigal son, right
After Yuan Bao lost the coin, he grabbed another ingot of silver. Seeing this, Lu Lin was a little relieved, thinking to himself: My son is high-spirited, he doesn't like small money, it seems that he is destined to make big money.
Yuan Bao waved his hand and threw out the silver as well.
Qin Lang, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but said: "Yuan Bao looks like someone! This is treating money like dung."
Such a large ingot of silver was thrown around casually. Does this kid know how many buns, ingots and ingots this ingot can buy
Lu Lin watched Yuan Bao holding a book and smashing it on the ground with a wheeze, and suddenly felt that his son might not be good at reading.
After Yuan Bao threw everything out, he finally hugged an abacus.
Lu Lin looked at Yuan Bao, and thought to himself: Yuan Bao actually chose the abacus. This Yuan Bao chose the abacus, which should mean that this guy will inherit his father's career and become a big businessman in the future.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, another two years have passed.
In Lu Lin's fourth year here, Lu Chengyu finally passed the examination of scholar.
Seeing that Lu Chengyu had passed the examination as a scholar, Mrs. Tang immediately felt like the moon was shining when the clouds opened. The backs of the Lu family seemed to straighten up.
Tang said excitedly: "Okay, okay, it's over now."
Scholars can be exempted from corvee, the land can also be exempted from taxation, and it is not expensive to see officials. There are subsidies for scholars from above, and they can receive two taels of silver a year, and more importantly, they have face.
"Son, you've come a long way." Tang said excitedly.
Lu Chengyu has been out of the competition for the past two years, and there are many rumors in the village, and Tang's pressure is also very great.
Lu Chengyu was also vaguely relieved at this meeting. He finally passed the examination of scholar. If he stayed in the village to teach, it would not be a problem to earn enough food and clothing, but this was not his goal.
The next step is to take the Juren examination. Only after passing the Juren examination can he become an official, become a master, and trample Lu Lin under his feet.
The business of Huaxia Commercial Bank has been very stable in the past few years. Many villagers hunted wild game and harvested mountain products, and they would sell them to Lu Lin in the town. Lu Lin would offer a good price for the sake of the same village. Lin has made money, but Lu Lin's reputation in the village is getting better and better.
Before, the villagers were talking about Lu Lin taking kickbacks. However, after discussing for a while, there was no response from Huaxia Commercial Bank. Everyone was probably annoyed, and they gradually stopped talking about it.
In the past few years, Lu Chengyu has to bear the pressure of not going well in his studies on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has to bear all kinds of praise from the villagers for Lu Lin, and he has long felt terribly aggrieved.
Chen Xiaomi looked at Lu Lin and said, "Lu Chengyu really passed the exam!"
Lu Lin nodded, and said: "Lu Chengyu should still be of a certain level, but he is just a scholar."
Scholars have some privileges, but they have a good reputation. Of course, if Lu Chengyu is willing to teach, there will be a lot of money. If there is nothing to do, it is very possible to become a poor scholar.
With Lu Chengyu's temperament, he must pass the entrance examination.
Chen Xiaomi glanced at Lu Lin, and said: "It's not easy for a scholar, if you accidentally get the job, then you can really be an official."
Lu Lin raised his eyebrows. This official's prestige is still very high. If any village has an official, it can even affect the fate of a village.
Examination for talent is only once a year, and it is not easy to take the exam for juren.
Lu Lin curled his lips, thinking to himself: In the past few years, he has saved a lot of money, more than four thousand and two, and maybe he is close enough to buy an official.
Huaxia Commercial Bank's business is good, but Lu Lin doesn't just rely on Huaxia Commercial Bank to make money.
In the past two years, Lu Lin has also made a lot of money by making wine. In addition to beer, Lu Lin's canteen also has some extremely high-alcohol liquor. After blending these wines with the drinks in the shop, Lu Lin sells them to I went to the restaurant and sold a lot of money.
"Lu Chengyu should have a good time this time." Lu Lin said.
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "It should be."
At the beginning, Chen Xiaomi often drove to collect vegetables in the fields. However, after Grandma Shen rented out the land, Chen Xiaomi found it troublesome. She bought all the vegetables from the villagers. The villagers who came here recently mentioned it a lot. Lu Chengyu, but there is no other way, since Lu Chengyu has passed the examination of a scholar, Dashi Village can also gain some glory. Having a scholar in the village is a very face-saving thing, and it is even helpful for the marriage of the villagers of Dashi Village.
Lu Chengyu was selected as a scholar, and the Lu family specially arranged a banquet to celebrate. The Tang family invited all the respectable people in the village, and made a big splash.
The relationship between Li Fangyue and Lu Chengyu in the past two years has been very tense. Li Fangyue originally thought that it would be better if Lu Chengyu was admitted to the show, but she did not expect that the relationship between the two became more and more rigid.
A few years ago, Lu Chengyu was not admitted as a scholar. The villagers rumored that it would be useless for Lu Chengyu to marry Li Fangyue. Now that Lu Chengyu was admitted, the person who was sour said, "It is all thanks to Li Fangyue that Lu Chengyu was able to be admitted as a scholar." , After all, marrying the wife of the official family is good! Isn't this enough to pass the exam?"
In the second year of marrying Li Fangyue, Lu Chengyu was completely disappointed in Li Fangyue when he failed the exam.
This time in the spring, Lu Chengyu didn't go out to get involved, so Lu Chengyu felt that he could be admitted to a scholar because he had studied hard in a cold window and had nothing to do with Li Fangyue. It was his biggest mistake that he married Li Fangyue.
Mrs. Tang made chicken soup for Lu Chengyu, and said with some complacency, "Son, you can be regarded as an empathy for your mother."
Before, the Lu family held a big banquet and spent a lot of money. However, most of the villagers gave gifts. This way, there is still some profit. Tang feels that this day is finally beginning to have something to look forward to.
"Cheng Yu, what's your plan next?"
Lu Chengyu said with a firm gaze: "Since I have passed the examination of scholar, then I will naturally continue to take the entrance examination." If he can pass the examination of Juren, what a master book is nothing.
Not relying on this relative, Lu Chengyu even hated the master book, and wanted to get ahead, trampling down those who looked down on him.
Tang said with some regret: "Lu Lin's airs are too big, and he won't come back after staying in the town."
Before, during the banquet, Tang had entrusted someone to bring a message to Lu Lin, asking Lu Lin to come back for a meal.
The reason why Tang invited Lu Lin was because he wanted to show off to Lu Lin.
In the past few years, the villagers have often praised Lu Lin for his ability, ability, and future blessings, but it made Tang feel extremely aggrieved.
It was not easy for Lu Chengyu to pass the exam. Tang also wanted to take this opportunity to tell Lu Lin that he was just a laborer, and her son was the one who studied and had great promise. However, Lu Lin refused.
Lu Chengyu said sullenly: "This Lu Lin has been in Huaxia Commercial Bank for a long time."
Tang Shi nodded and said, "Yes!"
Back then, when Chen Jing got into a catastrophe, Chen Xiaomi immediately took out thirty taels of silver to cut off the relationship with the Chen family, and the Tang family has always been brooding about it.
For so many years, the owner of the Huaxia store has never shown up, and Lu Lin's seat is secure. Tang has always suspected that Lu Lin has earned a lot of kickbacks in recent years.
Tang did a rough calculation. If Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin were paid two taels a year, they would be more than forty taels a year. Not counting kickbacks, after a few years, it would probably be more than one hundred taels.
Whenever she thinks that Lu Lin has made a fortune with Chen Xiaomi, but the family has no benefit, Tang feels like a knife is twisting her heart. Looking at Lu Chengyu, Tang said, "Cheng Yu!"
Tang Shi was relieved that Lu Chengyu was admitted as a scholar, and couldn't help but think about other things.
This Lu Chengyu and Li Fangyue have been married for several years, and they only have one little girl.
Tang also knows that the relationship between this son and Li Fangyue has not been very good in the past few years, so Tang has been sleeping in separate rooms, and Tang doesn't like Li Fangyue, so he let it go. I want to hug my grandson, but gradually I feel anxious.
Lu Chengyu said sullenly: "Let's talk about it!"
Lu Chengyu felt disgusted when he saw Li Fangyue recently, but when he was dragged to the brothel during the classmate banquet recently, Lu Chengyu couldn't help but have other thoughts.
