The days passed by, and as September entered, the weather in Kyoto seemed to have suddenly dropped, and the heat had passed, bringing with it a hint of coolness.
Tian Huairen and Tian Minrui were not at home, but life was still going on. Luo took care of the general affairs at home. When he found time, he would follow Tian Minyan and Xiao Wu to read, read, do beauty treatments and practice yoga. He made rapid progress and his temperament rose rapidly. And with the whole
As a person changed, her confidence gradually became stronger. When she was young, she was a tall and upright beauty. With such a promotion and appearance, she was not inferior to the official lady who had been immersed in the official family for a long time, that is Mrs. Liu.
Also praised highly.
Tian Minyan was happy to see the changes in Luo Shi. Not only that, but Xiao Wu also changed a lot. He met more people in the Beijing Academy and made several friends whom he got along well with. His temperament had lost a lot of his childishness, and his behavior was all-rounded.
It's even weirder. When Tian Minyan talks about many things, he can get to the point.
Xia Guang often told Tian Minyan that given time, Xiaowu will become a great person.
Tian Minyan couldn't help but be happy after hearing this, and she became even more interested in her younger brother. In her free time, she never forgot to teach him how to judge people. After all, after the Chinese New Year, she would be fourteen years old, and she wouldn't have much time at home.
You have to prepare for a rainy day.
Xiaowu, on the other hand, vaguely knew Tian Minyan's intentions. He still acted like he was out of touch when facing his family. But when he went outside, he paid attention to everything. He didn't say anything about what he heard or saw outside, and just went home.
Wada Minyan analyzed that the two siblings spent much more time together than before.
As for Tian Minyan herself, in addition to occasionally checking the operation of Jinxiu Villa, she manages other businesses. Now Bai Mei can take charge of her own business. She has left many things to Bai Mei to take care of. Everyone knows that Bai Mei is some kind of 'assistant' to Mr. Huimin County.
Bai Mei meant what Huimin County Lord meant. At this moment, someone actually had an interest in her, and more and more people wanted to marry Bai Mei.
As for the business, Tian Minyan was handed over to Xie Chengzhong to take care of the property. He was the one who went to various villages to collect rents and inspect the properties. He had become a vaguely big manager.
Other than that, she just worked hard at the Beijing Academy, went to class, and occasionally accepted challenges from Princess Ruining. After a long period of getting along, she and Princess Ruining developed some sympathy for each other, even though Princess Ruining often said she hated her.
, still regards her as a love rival, but on the other hand, he still often looks for her, and occasionally visits the uncle's house in Zhong County.
The days are full and busy. Since the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather has cooled down, and the food prices in Kyoto have become more expensive. Especially in September, autumn is approaching. There are more students in Kyoto, and major restaurants and inns have begun to increase their prices. Some
When poor students cannot afford to pay, some wealthy businessmen look for good horses and invite their chosen students to live in their homes, in the name of providing financial support, but in fact they just want to see if they can find a strange place to live.
Zhongxian County Bofu now owns the equity of Jinxiu Villa, which is really making money every day. Luo Shi is also thinking about sponsoring one or two poor students, so that Xiao Wu can also cultivate the learning atmosphere, and secondly,
Paving the way for two sons.
Tian Minyan did not follow this trend. Their family did not have a title with real power, so why would they join in the fun? Just be a wealthy nobleman. She did not want the emperor to think that they were forming factions. After all, the competition among you was fierce now.
And those princes who were most likely to be crowned great treasures suddenly became enthusiastic about Zhongxian County House for some reason. When they saw Tian'er, they invited her or Luo Shi to parties and movies, and the gifts they gave were also expensive.
The battle for the throne has always been cruel. Tian Minyan did not want her family to get involved in this faction. She also vaguely knew the reason why the princes were so enthusiastic all of a sudden. She was afraid that they were interested in the progress of Jinxiu Villa and her.
business acumen.
You know, fighting for the throne requires a lot of money. Without money, who is willing to work hard for you?
Understanding this, Tian Minyan took Luo Shi and Xiao Wu to talk. Except for school, they rarely went out. There were some gatherings that they could refuse if they could. Even Xiao Wu was warned not to get too close to those people, and Luo Shi
, and also told her not to easily agree to the wife's proposal of getting married.
In this way, the whole family of Zhongxian County House, no matter the master or servants, could not be more low-key and completely shrunk.
Even though she was huddled at home, Tian Minyan was not idle. Instead, she started working on the three acres of land in Zhong County's uncle's house.
She has heard that in the winter in Kyoto, people basically rely on stored vegetables to get through the winter, and they are all vegetables and fruits that can be stored for a long time, such as cabbage and radish. As for the green leafy vegetables, they are extremely valuable, almost
There is none.
This is not the case in modern times. Evergreen vegetables can be eaten all year round. Except for weather reasons in some areas, cold places such as the Northeast grow greenhouse vegetables. She thought that she would also experiment with greenhouse vegetables in winter.
Let's see if we can grow fresh leafy vegetables.
That day, as soon as she came out of the fields and the vegetable garden, she saw Hui'an County Master and Wen Wenwen coming together. She was stunned for a moment, and then she was pleasantly surprised.
"Why are you here?" She went up to greet him and asked happily.
"I heard your mother said that you were moving the land in the house. I still didn't believe it, so I had to come and see for myself. At first glance, our Huimin County Jun is actually a clever girl. You said you, farm and do business, and...
No way?" The chief of Hui'an County dressed up as a woman and couldn't help but smile and tease Tian Minyan, who was wearing a commoner and hairpin skirt.
"She was like this in the past, too restless. Look at what you are like. Do you still look like Mr. Huimin County?" She took out the handkerchief and wiped her face stained with dirt.
Wen Wenwen came to Kyoto in August, accompanying her husband-in-law. Xu Yuanlin is the son-in-law, and today he is in Beijing to attend the Autumn Festival.
"Sister Wen, you are not at home to take care of your husband, why did you come to my place?" Tian Minyan asked with a smile.
Qiu Wei has finished the exam. I heard that the exam lasted for nine days, but there is no news at all. Some people said that after the exam, it was as if half of your life was gone. Xu Yuanlin was no exception. He also passed the imperial examination. Why is he not so gentle?
You were taking care of him at home and came here?
"I'll kill you." Wen Rou pinched her tender face and said angrily, "How dare you make fun of me."
"The rankings are being released today. She can't stay at home, so she just invites me to come to your place to see the rankings together." The head of Hui'an County said with a smile.
"No, I can't sit still, so I might as well go out and take a look." She said with a gentle smile, with a bit of worry in her eyes.
Naturally, Tian Minyan missed the worry in her eyes and said with a smile: "Oh, let's see, you don't need to look at the rankings. Go home early and prepare to give money and reward people. Your family is so knowledgeable, I'm sure
Can hit."
She softly spat at her, but there was also a bit of joy in her eyes. Although her husband said that the exam was okay, she was a bit worried. Who doesn't like to hear good things? When Tian Minyan said this, she was also happy.
"If we really win, let Mrs. Xu host us today and invite us to have a meal at Jinxiu Villa." Hui'an covered his mouth and said with a smile.
"You have a boss here, and you still come to suppress me, a poor person." Wen Wen said pretending to be sad.
Tian Minyan saw that she rarely told jokes, so she burst out laughing and said, "Yes, I bet you are here to make me a fool!"
"Of course it is. Who doesn't know that Mr. Huimin County is very popular these days? I heard that many ladies have taken a fancy to our Mr. Huimin County!" Hui An pursed his lips and smiled.
Tian Minyan blushed, spat, and said, "People say that married people get used to being poor. This is not true at all. I won't tell you."
There is a conspicuous platform in Beijing for the release of the results. At this time, the place where the results are released is already crowded with people, and there are also many horse-drawn carriages parked here.
Tian Minyan lifted the car curtain and looked out, but saw two people in red government uniforms walking over with papers in their hands.
"It's out, it's out." She screamed softly, Wen Wenwen quickly looked out, and the handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a ball. She couldn't help but smile: "Relax, didn't you let the girl go see it?"
As soon as the list came out, the students wearing headscarves rushed up to check their names, but among them, there were those who won the Jinshi and jumped up and cheered, while there were also those who failed the list and knelt down and looked up and cried, I'm sorry, daddy, mommy.
, all sorts of things suddenly appeared.
There was the sound of footsteps, and then, the car curtain was opened, and it was the gentle personal maid He Xiang, who said happily: "Congratulations, young lady, congratulations, young lady, our young master has won the first-level Jinshi. He is the first
There are three of them!”
"Really?" Wen Wen's eyes brightened.
"it is true."
Wen Wen couldn't help but burst into tears, and tears suddenly fell like beads. Looking at Tian Minyan and the others, they were crying and laughing.
"Congratulations, Mrs. Tanhualang." Tian Minyan and Hui'an smiled and congratulated one after another.
"I can't drink wine now. I'm afraid the good news is coming to your house. Remember it first and eat it next time." Hui An said with a chuckle.
"I, I..." Wen Wen was so excited that she couldn't speak.
"Okay, we all know, let's go, let's go quickly." Tian Minyan pushed her, Wen Wenwen apologized, and left urgently.
"Come on, let's have tea too." Hui'an called to Tian Minyan, and the two of them took the girl and walked towards the teahouse.
When Tian Minyan got home, she talked to Luo Shi. Luo Shi was also very happy. He thanked the gods and Buddhas and sighed: "I wonder how your brother did in the exam?"
Tian Minyan smiled, she was out of town this autumn, and she wanted to come to the provincial examination to get her results earlier, but they were far away from Qingping, so for a while, the news was not that well-informed, but there were some.
Just as he was about to speak, Jixiang barged in without warning, shouting: "Madam, Miss, the eldest young master has become a scholar."
Luo Shi was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, stood up and asked: "But is it true?"
"The person bringing the good news is still waiting outside."
"Okay, okay, reward, each person will be rewarded with half a month's salary, and those who serve in the eldest young master's yard will be rewarded with a month's salary." Luo Shi was delighted.
Tian Minyan pursed her lips and smiled. There was also a scholar in their family.
