"We still have to go back quickly, it will take more than an hour on the way!"
After Su Yizhao came down the mountain, he looked around and found a carriage parked under a big tree not far away.
An old man driving a carriage was sitting on the shaft of the carriage, looking around boredly.
When he saw Su Yizhao's figure, his eyes suddenly lit up and he drove the carriage over here.
This old man was the one who sent Su Yizhao here before, and she had made an agreement with him before that if she came over again around Shenshi, she would pay this old man an extra fifty yuan.
Unexpectedly, this old man kept his word and was waiting at the foot of the mountain so quickly.
"Get in the carriage quickly. I waited for you for a while, but I didn't see you. I thought you had left." The old man said with a smile.
Su Yizhao hurriedly climbed onto the carriage, put down the backpack behind him, and said with a smile: "I made a promise to you before, how could I break my promise?"
"How's it going? Did you collect any medicinal materials this time you went up the mountain?"
The old man took a look at the backpack Su Yizhao put down and found that it was a little heavy, so he asked curiously.
Su Yizhao explained before that she wanted to go up the mountain to collect herbs, so when she came down from the mountain, she dug up some herbs to cover up people's eyes and ears.
Anyway, the valuable medicinal materials are in her storage space, and the ones in the backpack are all ordinary medicinal materials.
However, those polygonatum, notoginseng and so on are also good things, and there are a lot of them. Su Yizhao planned to sell these to medical clinics when he went to Fangshi.
The carriage was traveling much faster than the previous trip. Perhaps the old man saw that it was getting late and wanted to go back in a hurry.
By the time Su Yizhao returned home with more than ten taels of silver in his arms, the sky was already getting dark.
"Where did you go? Why did you come back so late?"
Su Yizhao had just returned home when she met Su Yijue in front of her courtyard. He looked probing and questioning, which made her frown.
"I told Uncle Zhong before that I wanted to go shopping in the market," Su Yizhao said.
"Anyway, there's still more than a month left before the imperial examination, so there's no need to prick your buttocks every day. We still have to balance work and rest!"
Su Yizhao was in a good mood after getting so many babies today. Therefore, although he didn't like the tone of Su Yijue's question, he still answered patiently.
Su Yijue glanced at Su Yizhao for no reason at first, and then suddenly stuffed a banknote over her.
Su Yizhao was a little strange. He took it and took a look and found that it was actually one hundred taels.
She looked over in confusion, and before she could ask a question, she heard the other party say: "I wish you in advance that you have passed the county examination. This is a congratulatory gift. As an elder brother, I can't be too stingy, can I?"
Su Yizhao was a little confused, was this gift too big? It was one hundred taels at a time. I have to say, living in a three-bedroom house was really comfortable.
But when you return the gift, don't you have to return the same gift? Anyway, you can't take any advantage.
Unexpectedly, just when Su Yizhao was about to refuse, Su Yijue suddenly stepped forward and rubbed the top of her head.
"I have passed the age of weakness. My family gave me more money than you, and I also made a small living. I don't have to worry about having no money. You are still young, so you don't have to spend so much when repaying the gift. We are all our brothers. Farewell.
outside."
Su Yijue said, turned around and left, which meant that he could not refuse.
Su Yizhao held the banknote in his hand blankly, and then thought about it.
Could it be that Su Yijue saw her changing her clothes and carrying Lou up the mountain? Maybe she thought she was really going up the mountain to collect herbs in exchange for money, so he gave her pocket money?
Su Yizhao couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, and then Su Yizhao stuffed the banknote in his arms, "It was delivered to your door anyway, don't give it up for free."
Although she said this, Su Yizhao had already made up her mind that after the results of the county examination were released, she would return a similar gift.
However, Su Yijue was so willing to tell her the private matters about his private property management abroad? Wasn't he afraid that she would tell her?
In fact, Su Yizhao didn't know that in the Su Mansion, if a junior made a small living by himself, as long as he didn't do anything that would hinder the family, the family would generally not care.
However, it is definitely not allowed to ignore just small business, like Su Yizhao purchased so much private property.
Time passed very quickly, and two days passed in a flash. This day was the day when the county examination results were released.
Su Yizhao sat in front of the desk and yawned loudly. She didn't plan to go there when the results were released today, and thought it would be better to stay at home and wait for the news.
After all, every time the list was released, the front of the list was crowded with people, and she couldn't squeeze in. She might as well wait at home.
Kikyo watched her young master sitting in front of the desk, practicing his calligraphy calmly, and couldn't help but admire him.
This is related to the young master's future. Why doesn't the young master look nervous at all?
However, she figured it out later.
I heard from the family that there were five exams in total, and the young master ranked first in each of the first four. So the young master doesn't have to worry at all, right? This is confidence.
Today, not only Su Yizhao did not go to the list to join in the fun, but Su Yijue and Su Yiliang also stayed at home waiting for news.
The most nervous person in the house was Uncle Zhong. He sent three literate boys to wait outside the Gongyuan early in the morning.
In Su Wenqing's study, Uncle Zhong wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around and found that his master was still playing with his pot of orchids leisurely, and he didn't seem to be in any hurry.
He couldn't help but ask: "Master, aren't you worried at all?"
Su Wenqing glanced at Uncle Zhong and said, "What's there to worry about? Even if you fail this time, you can just take the exam again next year."
"Besides, I've passed the first four questions. As long as I can answer the last question, I'm pretty close to you. What's there to worry about?"
As he spoke, he even hummed a tune softly. He didn't know where he learned it from. Listening to this tune, Uncle Zhong found it a bit unpleasant.
"But..." Uncle Zhong frowned and said, "Aren't you worried about the Seventh Young Master?"
Su Wenqing looked at Uncle Zhong very strangely, "What does Xiao Qi have to worry about? He is the one I am least worried about."
Uncle Zhong sighed, did the master still not understand what he meant?
I wanted to open my mouth to explain, but when the words came to my lips, I swallowed them back.
"Master, master, good news, good news. It's passed! It's passed!"
A boy ran quickly into the yard, and Uncle Zhong and Su Wenqing heard his cheerful shouts from a long distance away.
"Master, all the young masters have been hit."
Immediately afterwards, another boy came running over. Before he arrived, the voice came first.
Su Yizhao put the practiced large characters aside to dry. When she was about to practice another one, she saw Platycodon enter the study room with a happy face, followed by a cheerful Zi Su.
"Master, Master, it's passed! It's passed!" Kikyo said happily and incoherently.
"Master, I heard that you are still number one. This is such a great joy."
Zi Su from behind also smiled and stepped forward to congratulate her. Her eyes were as tender as water, and a strange color flashed in her eyes when she looked at Su Yizhao.
Su Yizhao felt happy and felt much more relaxed than before.
