The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 106 The Happy Event in the Main House

If you don't pay attention, you don't know. After looking for someone to check, Lin Xiazhi was taken aback. Lin Dabao was actually planning to cheat in the children's exam at the end of the month.

Jingguo's children's exams are held twice a year, one at the end of March and one in October.

There are still about ten days before the exam in March, and the test papers should have come out by this time, if he can find a way to bribe the examiner to get the test papers, maybe he can really get a boy student by cheating.

As far as Lin Xiazhi knew, Uncle Lin and Youngest Lin came forward to find Lizheng together, and took out the land deeds of six acres of paddy fields, but they haven't found a buyer yet.

The land of the main house of the Lin family is all high-quality fertile land. If all the six acres are sold, it will be 240 taels of silver, plus some cash at home, it will be enough for 500 taels. Want this value.

Lin Xiazhi didn't know how much money it would take to bribe the examiner, and he wasn't interested in buying the land over the main house. If this happened later, Old Man Lin would not be able to find them.

Old man Lin is sick in bed now, and the property of the main house of the Lin family has returned to Old Mo Lin, so he sold the land and secretly embezzled the family property, which old man Lin didn't know.

Others learned from Lizheng that your land was going to be sold, but they thought it was Uncle Lin who was too useless to grow the land and forced his family to sell the land.

First-class paddy fields are not easy to come by, and those who have money quickly paid 40 taels of silver to buy back an acre, and they couldn’t get more.

During this period of time, the villagers made a lot of money selling tofu with the Lin family, and within a few days, the six acres of land were quietly sold out.

The field was bought back, but everyone knows how Uncle Lin planted the land at the beginning. The time for planting rice has passed, and it is estimated that there will be no harvest if we want to plant rice again, so everyone thought of simply putting the water in and planting some beans. Now Lin's family and Doufang both collect beans, and they are not afraid that the beans will not be sold.

Only Lin Xiazhi and Lin Chengzu knew about the matter in the main house. They didn't bring it up and tell it at home, they just pretended that they didn't find anything.

You must know that the imperial examination is very strict. Once the cheating is found out, the whole family will be imprisoned. Fortunately, the family has been separated, and what Lin Dabao does should not affect the second and third families.

Speaking of it, Lin Dabao was really careless in making friends. He was tricked by people when he went to the gambling shop before, but he didn't pay attention.

After those people heard that Lin Dabao wanted to take the test, they told him that there was a way to get the test questions and they were even willing to pay more to get the answers.

After hearing what this man said, Lin Dabao was taken aback, and went back to the youngest Lin to ask for money, saying that he had found a way to ensure that he passed the childbirth test.

The youngest Lin has always been responsive to Lin Dabao's requests, not to mention that it has something to do with Dabao's entrance exams, and she hastily agreed, so it happened that the youngest Lin asked the Lin family for money, and sold the land after failing to ask for money.

Uncle Lin didn't stop him when he found out about it, but instead went in to help, just to get some hush money from the youngest Lin so that he wouldn't tell Mr. Lin.

Lin Xiazhi took the incident in the main house as a joke, and didn't know whether the answer given by Lin Dabao's so-called friend was true or not. If Lin Dabao failed the childbirth test in the end, would the youngest Lin vomit blood in anger?

March passed quickly, and the Lin family's tofu and dried tofu have already become famous in Lishui County. Tofu is still only wholesaled and sold by people in the village, but dried tofu is just as Lin Xiazhi expected, because it can be preserved for ten years. In the future, those merchants who pass by Jiangling County will also be willing to come to Lin's house to get dried tofu, and then sell it elsewhere.

The price of dried tofu is not cheap, but the taste is very good, fragrant and chewy.

Lin Xiazhi also gave Zhou Xiaozhu an idea, asking him to marinate some dried tofu when selling tofu nao, so that he can buy some dried tofu while eating tofu nao, the taste of stewed tofu is good, Zhou Xiaozhu's business Get better and better.

It has been more than a month since the spring plowing started, and the rice of other families has only grown to the height of the palm, and the rice of the Lin family has grown to the knees, which can catch up with the rice of other families for two months. The rice is also growing well and has grown beyond the calf.

Before sowing, Lin Huzi took his own oxen and diligently plowed the paddy fields three times, and sprinkled bean dregs fermented fertilizer every time he plowed, forcibly turning the medium-sized paddy fields into high-quality fields with sufficient fertilizer and water.With this willingness, the rice seedlings that the Lin family had germinated in advance could grow so fast.

Li Zheng was very happy after seeing the paddy fields of the Lin family. It seems that Xia Geer's idea is correct, and this method of growing rice will be popularized in the village next year.

In addition to the scene in Linjia Village, the Li family in Wangshan Village was also surrounded by crowds.

Because Li Qin germinated relatively late, the paddy rice of the Li family in Wangshan Village was only slightly higher than everyone else's. Even if it was only a little higher, it was very unusual in the eyes of these peasants, not to mention that their chickens and pigs were still It is well-raised and grows gratifyingly.

In just two months, the fat pigs raised by Qian Ying already weighed more than 100 catties. The fat ones are particularly enviable. The heaviest chickens in the chicken shed weighed almost three catties. As broiler roosters, It can be taken out for sale after another month or so. The hen will take a little longer, and it may take another month and a half to start laying eggs.

Qian Ying is very diligent, remembering Lin Xiazhi said that unclean chickens are easy to get sick, so he cleaned the chicken coop and pigsty clean, and raised [-] chickens. Only at the beginning, some chicks died. Those chickens are all very strong, and there is no problem at first glance.

The earth dragon raised by Li's family has also grown to 6 boxes, which is enough for so many chickens in the family.

The youngest Li drove Li Qin and his wife to work in the field every day, telling them that if they didn't work hard, they would have nothing to eat.

At the beginning, the two of them often thought about being lazy, but after being discovered by the youngest Li, they really didn't give them a meal and starved them a few times, so they worked honestly and stopped playing tricks.Fortunately, the Li family has little land, so the couple won't be able to do it together for long.

Not long after, Li Qin and his wife discovered that the rice they planted according to Li Laojiao's instructions was better than that of other families. People in the village came to ask them how they farmed the land, which made them feel the taste of being sought after by others. These two lazy people suddenly had the enthusiasm for farming, and they took the initiative to go to the field with a hoe every day without being urged by Mrs. Li.

The second son's family has worked honestly, and the youngest Li and Qian Ying are working together in chicken sheds and pig pens. There are more than 80 roosters and a hundred hens in the family. After a month or so, the roosters can be sold for money. The hen can keep laying eggs. If it is true what Xia Geer said, every chicken lays eggs every day, and the daily eggs alone can be exchanged for more than 100 Wen.

Thinking that these chickens will lay gold in the future, Li Laoyao and Qian Ying took better care of these chickens.

As soon as March was over, the results of the children's exams came out, and Lin Dabao was indeed among them.

On the day when the rankings were released, Uncle Lin got up very early in the morning to go to the county government office to check the results.

The people around the gate of the county office almost squeezed him into a meatloaf, but he insisted on standing in the front position all the time, and no one would let anyone squeeze him.

After the official yamen servants posted the list of children's exams, everyone squeezed forward desperately. When they could read the words on the list clearly, Uncle Lin stood still as if there were a nail under his feet. Xing saw the words "Linjiacun, Lin Xiangbao".

Lin Xiangbao is Lin Dabao's real name, he is the only one in Linjiacun called Lin Xiangbao, and his family's Dabao really passed the Tongsheng exam!

After reading it several times to make sure that he was not mistaken, Uncle Lin left with a happy face, ignoring the shoes that were squeezed out and the clothes that were messed up: "My eldest treasure has passed the exam! My eldest treasure has passed the exam!"

There are not a few people like Uncle Lin, who are all shouting that so-and-so was admitted to so-and-so.

In comparison, more people were full of disappointment, because they didn't see the name they wanted to see on the list, which meant they failed the list.

Uncle Lin ran back from the county government office to Linjia Village in one breath. He yelled all the way from the beginning of entering the village, wishing the whole village would know that his family's eldest treasure was admitted to Tongsheng.

When he got home, Uncle Lin told Old Man Lin and Youngest Lin about the incident as soon as possible, and then went to Weijia Village to bring Lin Dabao back.

When Uncle Lin passed by, Master Wei was still giving lectures. When he heard that Lin Dabao had passed the entrance examination, Master Wei was more shocked than surprised. He still didn’t know Lin Dabao’s level. How could he be admitted suddenly? Act like you're not studying hard?

Despite some doubts in his heart, Master still happily agreed with Uncle Lin to take Lin Dabao away.

In previous years, if Master Wei's student was admitted to Tongsheng, he would definitely praise that person in class, but not today. He couldn't figure out Dabao's situation. After Lin Dabao left, Master Wei continued to attend class without changing his face.

Even though Master Wei didn't say it in class, the students heard Uncle Lin's words just now, and all of them were distracted and didn't listen to the lecture. When Master Wei got angry, he punished them to copy the book three times.

Writing in ancient times was a physical effort, and there were still requirements for the characters. The characters in each article should not be poorly written, and they would have to start all over again.

The children complained endlessly, but they did not dare to disobey Master Wei's instructions, and honestly copied books in class, transcribing those impetuous thoughts into the words.

Lin Dabao followed Uncle Lin back to Linjiacun, and the whole family was very happy. Old man Lin said that he would throw a big banquet to celebrate, and the whole family thought that such a happy event should be celebrated.

Especially Liu Chunhua, he must let those tongue-in-cheek husbands know that his big treasure is a good seedling for studying, and he can pass the examinations for scholars and candidates in the future, and become a high-ranking official. Go to please the second room and offend the future official.

Youngest Lin and Uncle Lin knew that Lin Dabao was a child student who cheated, but they selectively ignored this point. In their view, Lin Dabao was a child student who passed the exam by himself.
