Chapter 134: Landlord Dad's Trouble 21

Because of Ge Hongbu's worry, on the second day, although Han Shubo didn't read at home, he somewhat restrained himself and stopped going out to play with his father.

The day soon came to the eighth day of February, and Ge Hongbu tossed and turned like pancakes all night, unable to sleep. At one moment, he was afraid that Shubo would not sleep well in the test room, at another time, he was worried that he would not be warm enough to be cold in the test room, and at another time, he was worried about him. Not eating well, all in all, is all kinds of worries, all kinds of nervousness.

Han Ze, Han Shubo and his son had a good night's sleep. One had confidence in their son, and the other had confidence in their knowledge. Since they had confidence, why were they still nervous?

As soon as it was dawn, Han Ze woke up Han Shubo. The father and son came out of the house, and Ge Hongbu had already placed breakfast on the dining table.

Han Ze raised his eyebrows, and Han Shubo asked, "Mother, why is it so early?"

Although she didn't sleep all night, Ge Hongbu was in good spirits, she smiled and said: "Come and eat, mother prepares all your favorite food."

After breakfast, the father and son went to the examination room. When they arrived at the examination room, they met the two masters and other candidates from the school in the town, of course, Han Chengming and his son were among them.

Han Ze and his son got out of the carriage, first said hello to the teachers in the school, and then to the classmates and their families.

Han Chengming curled his lips lightly. He didn't see Han Ze and his son before. He thought that Han Shubo didn't take part in the scientific examination this time, so he asked out of words, "Brother, where do you live? Why didn't you come with us?"

Han Ze glanced at him lightly. If he wasn't in the crowd, he really didn't want to talk to him. He said, "I bought a yard in the county town last year, and I went to live with Shubo for a few days to get familiar with the environment."

"Bought a yard? Where did you get so much money?"

Han Chengming's eyes were full of jealousy and unwillingness. In the past two years, Han Ze bought houses in the town, bought land in the village, and bought a dowry of six or seven hundred taels of silver for his sister. It seems that there should be several thousand taels of silver. Did Uncle Han Ze have that much silver back then? If not, where did he get the money?

Han Ze glanced at him, ignored him, and turned around to continue talking to the gentleman at Shubo.

Han Chengming clenched his fist, what did Han Ze's look mean? Look down on him?

Han Jixue and Han Jiwen behind saw Han Ze and his son, but there was shocking hatred in his eyes. What kind of uncle is Han Ze? Father beat and scolded. Such an uncle, if they become high officials in the future, just wait and see.

Han Shubo stood behind his father, inadvertently saw their eyes, and the thick brows on his small face were tightly frowned.

The gate of the examination room opened, and the officials began to check the candidates one by one. Han Ze patted his son on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Dad will pick you up after the exam."

Han Shubo glanced at his father and felt relieved. Although Han Jixue and Han Jiwen had studied two years earlier than him, as far as who is more knowledgeable, he asked himself that he was more knowledgeable than both of them. It was recognized in the academy and he was also knowledgeable solid.

Since their brothers hate their family so much, they will definitely retaliate when they gain power in the future, so let him be a scholar before their brothers in the exams when they are not in power... let them have no chance to retaliate against themselves, let alone have a chance Bullying his father.

My own father protects himself.

The five days are very difficult for both the candidates and their accompanying family members. Although it is difficult, they still have to pick up the candidates at the examination room every day, and send the children to the examination room before dawn the next day.

In the past few days, no one asked the twelve candidates how they were doing in the exam, for fear of putting pressure on them. Even Han Chengming held back his temper and refused to ask Han Jixue how Han Jiwen was doing in the exam and whether he had any hope of passing the exam.

Soon it was the fifth day. On this day, Han Ze arrived at the examination room an hour earlier. When the time came, there was a creaking sound, and the gate of the examination room was opened by the officials. At this time, candidates came out of the examination room.

Han Ze looked up, and saw his son, carrying the test basket, the first one to come out of the test room, he raised his hand and waved, Han Shubo saw his father, his face was full of smiles, he opened his calf, and ran away Come on, ran to Han Ze, smiled and called Dad.

Han Ze patted his head and said, "There are boiled pastries on the carriage, go and eat some, let's wait for your classmates to come out before we go together."

Han Shubo nodded obediently.

Han Chengming curled his lips at the side, and couldn't help but said sourly: "I come out so early every day, so I don't know how to do it, and I haven't finished it?"

Han Ze didn't bother to pay attention to him, Han Shubo stuck out his tongue at him, and then climbed into the carriage.

Han Chengming glared at him: "What kind of child is this? He's a scholar who doesn't know how to respect his elders?"

Han Ze watched Han Shubo get into the carriage, and then turned to look at Han Chengming: "An uncle is not like an uncle, why should the child respect you? Show some face."

Han Chengming choked, his face turned pale in an instant, he snorted, turned his head and said, "I don't know as much as an ignorant child."

Han Ze didn't even bother to talk to him. He was reduced to the same level of knowledge as a child, so he was embarrassed to say it.

When all twelve students came out, everyone greeted each other, agreed on a time to watch the list, and left together.

After returning home and resting for two days, some acquaintances from school came to visit at home, and Han Ze asked Ge Hongbu to prepare a sumptuous meal for them. They were very grateful, saying that it had been a long time since they had eaten such a sumptuous delicacy, and after coming out from the Han's house and returning to the inn with other students, they felt sorry for each other.

Han Chengming tried a few times by the side, knowing that the house Han Ze bought in the county is very big, and he bought it specially for Han Shubo to study in the future. The house has rockery and rocks, small bridges and flowing water, and the scenery is very pleasant.

After Han Jixue and Han Jiwen heard about it, he was envious and jealous. Han Shubo was a little fool and dumb in the village when he was young. Holding it in Han Shubo's hand, the uncle will also take it from him to them. Their brothers didn't pay attention to him at all. Now the little fool who is not paid attention to by them has a yard when he is less than ten years old. , how could they be willing?

They don't know how rich the uncle's family is, but they have heard from their grandfather that the uncle has at least a thousand acres of land, and there is a yard in the town, and now the county has added a yard...

Back in his room at the inn, Han Jixue had an idea of ​​what his uncle owned for the first time. He looked at Han Chengming and asked, "Father, why do you think uncle has so much money?"

Han Chengming also wanted to know why Han Ze had so much money. He raised his head and thought for a while: "Back then your uncle's uncle made a fortune outside, but he had no children. Your uncle gave his uncle's pension to the end of his life. The property was given to your uncle, but as far as I know, there is not that much money..."

Han Jixue frowned: "If you don't reveal your wealth, how much property will he tell you? Could it be that he kept it from the beginning?"

Han Chengming clapped his hands violently: "It's possible, treacherous! Too treacherous."

Han Jixue said again: "Father, why don't you ask?"

Han Chengming's eyes lit up, then he glared again and said, "What are you asking? Do you think he has money and will give it to you or what?"

Greed flashed in Han Jixue's eyes, and his childish face was mixed with gloom that didn't match his age: "Han Shubo shouldn't have become better in the first place."

The little fool is his nemesis. If he is not good, the uncle will not take back his kindness to them. In the future, the silver, the fields, and the courtyard of the county town will all be his.

Han Chengming also thought the same way. It would be fine if Han Ze's son continued to be stupid. "He's all right, so what can we do? We can't kill him, forget it."

kill him? Han Jixue's eyes flashed, murdering and breaking the law, but if Han Shubo becomes stupid again, uncle has no hope...

Han Jixue suddenly said: "Father, we will visit uncle tomorrow."

Han Chengming snorted, "No."

Han Jixue gently persuaded: "Father, we don't have to eat at the inn when we go to uncle's house. Not only can we save money for a meal, but we can also have a delicious meal at uncle's house. Isn't it a good thing to kill two birds with one stone?"

Han Chengming thought, yes, "Okay, let's go, we are customers, let them prepare a table of good food for us, we can eat enough."

However, their father and son thought very well, but Han Ze's family would not sit at home and wait for them to come to the door. They thought that since they came to the county, they would definitely buy some things from the county to take back.

Han Shubo thought that the library in the town was too small and he couldn't buy many books, so he wanted to visit the bookstores in the county.

Ge Hongbu didn't need to buy anything, but when his daughters came, he asked her to buy them some hair flowers from the county.

On the other hand, Han Ze felt that the girls in the family were getting older. The eldest girl, Shu Xin, looked at her husband's family and said that it was time to prepare a dowry for her. Except for the yard and fields, she also needed to buy some jewelry. The jewelry in the town was really bad. some.

Early in the morning, they had breakfast and went out early. First, I went to the bookstore with Shubo, and then went to the cloth store after leaving the bookstore. I bought more than a dozen pieces of various fabrics and asked the servant to take them back. They went to the silver building again.

Hairpins, earrings, bracelets... Each daughter bought two pairs, and they used up thousands of taels of silver.

Ge Hongbu saw that the man was worth thousands of taels of silver with a big wave of his hand, and felt distressed, it was worth thousands of taels of silver, it’s all right to buy fields and yards, but the jewelry can’t be eaten or drunk, but it’s just for looking good, just like it. Yes, what do you buy so much for?

However, no matter how many thoughts she had in her heart, she didn't dare to say them out, for fear of spoiling the man's interest, she could only worry about it by herself.

Seeing his mother's expression, Han Shubo leaned into her ear and whispered, "Mother, don't worry, my father has money."

He knows how much money his father has earned by selling flowers in the past few years. Otherwise, I would be reluctant to buy so many things.

Through the influence of his father in the past few years, he has gone from being reluctant to spend a penny to now being able to buy what should be bought, and of course what should not be bought, and he will never spend a penny more .

Ge Hongbu looked at his son reproachfully, and said to himself, can I still not know that your father has money? But no matter how much money you have, it’s not that easy, is it?

Han Ze looked back and saw the mother and son muttering, and then thought that the girls had bought jewelry, and Ge Hongbu hadn't bought it yet. He looked at Han Shubo and said, "Choose one for your mother and your grandma and sister-in-law." jewelry."

The whole family bought them all, and it was hard to leave anyone behind.

Ge Hongbu hesitated, his cheeks flushed, "I, I'll let it go."

Han Ze said, "Buy it, I'll pay for it."

Ge Hongbu wanted to persuade her, but Han Shubo took her by the arm and said, "Mother, buy it, it's rare that Dad is generous, so you should buy it hard, buy it vigorously, and spend all the money in Dad's pocket. "

Han Ze: "..."

Brat, I hurt you for nothing.
