Chapter 98 Treat it as a dowry
No. 10 in the college exam is indeed a very good result for Yu Zhou, and his ranking fluctuated by only a few in the three rounds of the Tongsheng exam, from the county exam to the college exam, which is quite stable.
But for the Zhang family, at Yu Zhou's age, he was admitted as a scholar. Although he was not mediocre, he could not enter the ranks of excellence.
The fact that the old man can praise Yu Zhou with such satisfaction proves that he really likes Yu Zhou.
On the contrary, it was Yu Zhou who felt a little embarrassed when everyone looked at him like that.Because he always felt that the eyes of the old man and the old lady looking at him were inexplicably similar to the gratified eyes of Chen Chen after obediently eating a bowl of food on weekdays.
Jin Chuan also pulled Yu Zhou's sleeve excitedly, and shouted in a low voice: "Husband!" The elders of the family were all there, so even if he wanted to, he didn't dare to make too intimate gestures.
When the elders brought the news, Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan felt that there was no need to watch it any more.
So Yu Zhou turned around and made a gesture of invitation to the old man and the others, "Grandfather and grandmother, go and sit inside."
Jin Chuan handed Chen Chen to Yu Zhou, turned around and walked to the kitchen, "I'm going to make tea."
"Don't worry, feed Chenchen first." The old lady said helplessly.
Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan looked at each other suspiciously, and then looked at Chen Chen together, only to find that not only was his son wearing a drool around his neck, but also a bit of rice paste was sticking to the corner of his mouth, obviously he had eaten half of the food look like.
After tossing and tossing for a while, Chenchen finally had breakfast again, and the water for making tea was already boiling in the pot.
The old man smiled and said: "After being admitted in the college examination, Xiaozhou is a scholar. You have chosen this house well, and it will be convenient for you to go to the government academy to study in the future."
"When I bought it, I already took this issue into consideration." Yu Zhou has now achieved the fame of a scholar, and if he said such a thing, it would sound like a confident charm.
"In the beginning, your grandmother and I also felt that your place is a bit small," the old man continued, "but after observing this period of time, we found that you are well-managed, and at this stage, your family's population is also simple. , even if your child from the same clan borrows here for the next year, he will still be able to live here."
Yu Zhou nodded after listening. The old man and the old lady were not so satisfied with the place where they lived at first. Although they didn't say it, anyone who is not careless will know it. After all, they gave them so much the next day. things come over.
It's just that he doesn't understand why the old man suddenly mentioned this.After exchanging a vague look with Jin Chuan, he continued to listen.
But the next words were replaced by the old lady: "A few days ago, although it was to make Jinliang and the others get carried away, your grandfather and aunt and I really saw a lot of shops and houses, but we just searched for a long time. , and only bought a few pretty good shopfronts, but the house didn’t sleep well. So I discussed with your grandfather, and I will give you these few shopfronts first.”
Yu Zhou stopped feeding Chenchen, "We appreciate the kindness of my grandfather and grandmother, but as juniors, we didn't show any respect to you, so why don't we have to spread the bread after we have collected so many things from you."
Jin Chuan thought relatively more, and as a grandson, he could say many things more conveniently than Yu Zhou, "Grandfather and grandmother, you two don't have to worry, even if you are in Fucheng, my husband's and I'll save money after every month. There are all left."
The old man and the old lady, including Zhang Wanru, are all careful people, let alone Jin Chuan, a relative they just met, they have always been extra careful.Naturally, everyone can see that although their grandson's husband was born in the countryside, he is by no means the kind of person who relies on the land to support his family.
It's just that we stand in different positions and have different ideas.
Yu Zhou felt embarrassed to accept too many things from the old man.What the old man and the old lady thought was that they wanted to give more good things to their grandson.
And even though they knew that the couple had a strong relationship, they would subconsciously feel that the grandson would have more confidence in living with more good things around him.
So the old lady made a conclusion with a smile, "This gift from the elders is irresistible. These few shops should be regarded as Jinchuan's dowry."
Given this reason, Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan couldn't refuse.Especially for Yu Zhou, according to the laws of Dayan, the dowry given by her mother's family is the private property of the woman and brother from the beginning to the end. Even if they don't use it for the family, it is reasonable.Jinchuan's things, even if he is a husband, there is no reason to refuse.
Jin Chuan's nose was a little sour. Looking at the old man and the old lady, he only yelled, "Grandfather, grandmother..."
"Stupid child." The old lady smiled kindly, flirting with Zhang Wanru.
Zhang Wanru opened the cloth bag at hand, took out the house deed and account book inside, pushed it in front of Jin Chuan and said, "The business of these shops was pretty decent, and I have reorganized the account books these days, and they are all here. , you look at it first, if you have any questions, just ask me."
Only then did Jin Chuan know that the shop bought by his grandfather was bought with his original business. This was obviously for his sake. After all, he used to be at home, even though his mother could teach reading, embroidery, etc. things, but really no chance for him to learn how to run the family shop.
His heart was sore and swollen, as if soaked in warm water, extremely happy.Just thinking that my husband had just obtained the fame of a scholar, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Can I ask my aunt to watch it for me for another half a month, my husband and I are going back to the countryside."
Before they came to Fucheng, they planned to go back to their hometown after the results of the college test came out. After all, now that the autumn harvest was approaching, even if they had entrusted them with Uncle Chen's family next door, it didn't make sense for them to do so many things for them.
The two haven't discussed this matter for a long time, and Yu Zhou's mind was spinning rapidly. When they planned this way before, they felt that even if they were admitted, they would stay in Fucheng to study, and he was not at ease. Here, I went back to Yujia Village alone.So at that time, I said that I would go back together, and after making arrangements, the family would come back again.
Now that my grandfather, grandmother, and aunt's family are all here, Yu Zhou felt that there was no need to make such a fuss, so he suggested: "I can go back and arrange things at home alone, and you and Chenchen will stay in Fucheng to avoid going back and forth. Toss hard."
Zhang Wanru also echoed, "Yes, Xiaochuan, if you feel lonely at home with Chenchen, you can go to my house to stay until Xiaozhou returns, and you can spend more time with your grandfather and grandmother."
In fact, this is really a good suggestion, especially for Chenchen who is not yet one year old. No matter how well-behaved the child is, running back and forth is tiring. Not enough sleep.
The distress in Jin Chuan's eyes was fleeting, but he still insisted, "I'll go back with my husband, and it's not too late to go to my aunt's house to play after I get back."
He persisted, and it was difficult for others to say anything.Zhang Wanru asked, "When do you plan to leave, and when the time comes, let your uncle send some people to take you back."
Jin Chuan looked at Yu Zhou, and Yu Zhou pondered for a while and said, "It should be the day after tomorrow. I will discuss it with Mr. Wen later, and he will go back too. We will go together at that time."
Afterwards, the few people began to discuss what Yu Zhou and the others wanted to bring back. The first thing was that Chenchen used it, and the second was that Yu Zhou had obtained the honor of a scholar. In addition to Mr. Wen, he also wanted to give some gifts to the elders of the clan. This time Zhang Wanru planned to have someone take them back, so they could drive an extra carriage, and the gift was bought in Fucheng, so it would fit in it.
As they talked, they talked about what things Yu Zhou and his family still needed to clean up.
After counting a few samples, Jin Chuan said: "The sweet potatoes in our field, the dried sweet potatoes are very delicious, and my husband can also make sweet potato powder, which is not available in other places. When the time comes, we will bring some more for you. Grandpa, grandmother and aunt all tasted it."
No matter how delicious dried sweet potatoes are, they are just dried sweet potatoes after all. Even if you have never eaten sweet potato powder, you can tell that it is made of sweet potatoes by the name. To the old man, the old lady and Zhang Wanru, it is not a rare thing .
The person who only proposed to give them these things was Jin Chuan, so it was completely different. Zhang Wanru even asked: "Will it be too hard, do you want your cousin to help too?"
Yu Zhou glanced at Li Haolin, and couldn't help laughing, "My cousin still has to go to the academy to study."
Unlike the newly admitted scholars, Li Haolin and Tao Jiang started to attend classes as early as the second day after Yu Zhou finished the exam.
And their group of scholars will not start classes until mid-October, and there is still more than a month in between.After all, they will stay in Fucheng after this, and many people have to go back to arrange their family affairs, how can they make it through without any time.
The whole family chatted for a while, Mr. Wen and Yu Wenliang also came back, both of them were beaming.
In fact, as early as the old man said that even if Yu Wenliang would stay at their house for a year, Yu Zhou knew that Yu Wenliang must be on the admission list.
Now that the person is back, he should also care about it.
But before Yu Zhou could speak, Yu Wenliang said excitedly: "Brother Xiaozhou, I am number 30 and sixth."
"Congratulations!" Yu Zhou was really happy for him. Although a total of 40 people were selected, 36 is not a good result, but for Yu Wenliang's age, it is already something to be proud of.
After a pause, he asked again, "Where is Yunqi?"
"Still number one." Yu Wenliang became even more excited.
The old man also smiled and nodded to Yu Zhou: "That friend of yours is good, he won a small three yuan."
Yu Zhou could tell that the old man's compliments were really just compliments, without any envy, so he couldn't help being even more moved.
