Chapter 2222 Governor, Come and Farm with Me! (232)
Mrs. Zhou came out of the inner room and gave her daughter a warning look: "Xiao Shi, why did you talk to your brother? Still not apologizing to your brother?"
"Mother, I'm not wrong, I..."
Under her mother's increasingly serious gaze, Zhou Shirou couldn't speak any longer, pouted and apologized honestly.
"I'm sorry, brother, I was wrong. I shouldn't talk to you like this because I feel sorry for you."
Zhou Tianyou's face improved a little, but it still didn't look very good: "Mother, I'm going back to the house."
Mrs. Zhou nodded kindly: "Go, go to Shuntian Mansion tomorrow, take a good rest and keep your spirits up."
After her son entered the house, Mrs. Zhou said sternly to her daughter: "Xiao Shi, don't say these words to your brother again. If it affects his scientific examination, see how your father punishes you."
Zhou Shirou was a little aggrieved.
"Understood, I'm not thinking of him yet? That Xia Xiaodie, at first glance, knew that he was treacherous, but he just couldn't see clearly."
"Hmph, it's not as good as that Su Qiao, at least she's good-looking, literate, can settle accounts, speaks generously, and is a bit pretentious, like that Xia Xiaodie, who hasn't said a word yet, Two tears, like everyone else owes her."
In Mrs. Zhou's mind, Su Qiao, who was sitting behind the counter to settle accounts, with a gentle temperament and a calm expression, quite agreed with her daughter.
"Since you like Miss Su, you should walk with her often. I think that girl is really good."
Unfortunately, the status is low.
Even though her grandfather is now the chief steward of the mine and is solely responsible for the mine's affairs, he has no fame after all, and he has no official or semi-official position.
On the contrary... the girl and the adult seem to be very familiar with each other, and I don't know if it will help my husband and son.

On the other side, Su Qiao has returned home.
After eating in the bright hall, the family sat around the table.
"Father, brother, you can go in the carriage tomorrow! The groom who drives the car is not an ordinary person. He has legs and feet, and he will bring two little servants to take care of your room and board."
"it is good."
Su Yaohui and his son did not refuse.
The carriage was too slow, it would take three hours to get to the mansion, but it would be quicker to get there, and it would take only an hour and a half at most.
"Also, bring some more money. When you go out, you are afraid that you will encounter an accident and you will need money."
Now that the family is not short of money, and the exam is a serious business, it is necessary to let them eat and live well, so that they can concentrate and take the exam carefully.
The old man also agreed: "Yes, it is necessary to bring more money, this is five days, and you have to take five exams in a row, it is more convenient to bring more money, and the servant also brings it, in case something happens, and there is still a legend believe it."
The old lady hesitated for a moment: "Then bring twenty taels of silver alone?"
In the past, when the eldest son went to the hospital for the exam, he would bring at most eight taels of silver, which was still accompanied by the fare.
This time there is a carriage, and there is no need to care about the carriage.
The old man thought for a while: "Thirty taels! With a groom and two servants, the cost will be more."
The old lady nodded, went back to the house and took out sixty taels and gave them to the father and son.
Su Qiao took out two small porcelain vases from the embroidered bag around her waist and put them on the table in front of them.
"Dad, brother, this is a Qi pill that can strengthen your body. After an exam, if you feel tired, take one, or before the exam, if you feel down, take one."
This time they have to take five exams in a row.
Many candidates are not without talent, but planted in physical strength.
Scholars generally rarely work or exercise, and most of them are weak scholars.
"Where did this come from?" The old man reached out and picked up a bottle, took off the cap and looked inside.
