Chapter 9: Relegation of Wife to Concubine (8)

"Mom, what are you doing?" Bao Ruoru came to pay tribute to Hao Xin, but found that she arranged things. After a while, it seemed that her mother wanted Butler Li to go to Beijing to buy a house.

"Your brother will probably go to Beijing for an exam next year, so I'll prepare in advance." Hao Xin replied.

Bao Ruoruo was speechless, "Mom, you are so confident in my brother."

"Even if your brother doesn't pass the exam this time, there will be a next time. Moreover, the capital is the capital of a country. We can do business there when we go early." Hao Xin felt that this daughter was raised by her. She was a little too lively and not suitable for this ancient era. Fortunately, she also has martial arts skills, and she has learned a few skills from herself. She has a tough personality and will not have any problems in the future.

"Okay, mom, you just like this." Bao Ruoruo was speechless.

"Well, you can arrange the shops here. You have grown up and it's time to learn how to manage housework and business." Hao Xin lit her nose.

"Mom, I'm only 12 years old and still young." Bao Ruoruo pouted and said dissatisfiedly.

"16, even if you don't get married immediately, you have to find a good husband first, otherwise others will choose the rest of the time and you will be interested in it." Hao Xin said jokingly.

"Mom~What are you talking about?" Speaking of husband's problem, even Bao Ruoruo was raised, some of the tomb-like attributes were a little shy.

"Mom, Ruo Ruo, what are you talking about? Are you not going to have a meal?" At noon, Bao Mian came out to have a meal, but found that his mother and sister seemed to be talking about something, and the servants had already brought the meal over.

"Brother, I'll say that when you pass the exam, I'll go to the capital to marry a noble girl from a famous family." Bao Ruoruo said when he heard the voice.

"Mom, why do you tell me this to your sister?" Bao Mianjun's face turned slightly red when he heard this. He was already 15 years old. It was just when his mind was in full swing, but he usually focused on learning various knowledge.

"Well, men are married when they are old and women are married when they are old. What's so shy about?" Hao Xin didn't expect her daughter to change the subject in this way, so she immediately said with a stern face.

"Mom~" The two children immediately stopped obeying.

"Okay, let's have a meal." Hao Xin smiled when they saw them like this, walked to the table and sat down, and asked the two of them to sit down and have the meal, so that the servants could go out and eat by themselves before coming.

After dinner, Bao Mian went out to discuss knowledge with his classmates, while Bao Ruoru was left by Hao Xin to help the housekeeper. Soon he arrived at the hospital examination. Hao Xin prepared a basket for Bao Mian, which contained instant noodles, and specially prepared for the children's exam.

There are some other things, such as thin quilts, carbon stoves, charcoal, oil, an empty bamboo cup, pen, ink, paper and ink, etc. She not only prepared this for Bao Mian, but also made many exactly the same ones. They were inspected by the invigilator of the Gongyuan and sold them outside the Gongyuan. One-third of the money they received belonged to her, one-third of the money they received belonged to, and one-third of the money they received belonged to, and one-third of the money they received belonged to, and one-third of the money they received belonged to, and one-third of the three of them were from the prefect and the three families.

She has done this business 8 times, and no one has bought it for the first time, but the next six times were booming. You should know that in ancient times, the exam was only once every three years, Hao Xin came to this world and caught up with 4 times, and the provincial examination and college examination were not in the same time, so there were only 8 times.

However, Hao Xin did this not to make money. It was just to prevent Bao Mian from appearing too abrupt and aroused the suspicion and calculations of others. She made it specially, relying on her good relationship with the wife of the prefect and the magistrate Tongzhi, to do such a business.

The college entrance examination is not like the college entrance examination. The college entrance examination requires nine consecutive days, but the provincial entrance examination and college entrance examination are once every three days, and the exam is three times to nine days. Moreover, the provincial entrance examination is in the late spring, the college entrance examination is in the autumn, and the college entrance examination is in the late winter. It can be said that it is the coldest time and the most test time.

Three days later, Bao Mian, who was a little haggard, came out to wash and eat, and then slept all day, and went in the next day to continue. Knowing that the hospital examination was over, Bao Mian, a martial arts practitioner, had lost weight, not to mention some sour scholars who were not diligent in all limbs. Many of them were carried out, and some even became sick and forced to give up.

Hao Xin shook her head, Bao Ruoruo was a little surprised: "Mom, why are you shaking your head?"

"I think those who are being carried out know that physical fitness is very tested during exams, but they always ignore this point and know that they are studying hard. They don't know how to combine work and rest to strengthen physical exercise. Even if they learn more, what's the use of not having a good body to support them. It's simply versatile." Hao Xin said that he always wanted to complain.

There were clearly the sayings of the six arts of gentlemen in ancient academies, including riding and shooting, but there were still many scholars, especially poor families. Many of them worked behind closed doors and didn't even go down to help with the fields. As a result, they would not be able to become scholars all their exams.

"It means they are stupid. If they are being brushed down, they can only be said to be their own choice." Bao Ruoruo was very disdainful of those people. When she followed Hao Xin around, she had seen people who were sucking blood from a family and reading but ended up reading without reading anything.

At this point, it was the only place where she had a good impression of her own father. Hao Xin did not hide the matter of their own father after her children grew up. They also knew the reason why her mother took them alone. Even though she heard that it was not her father's fault in a pertinent way, Bao Ruoru felt that although she refused but did not refuse completely, she was also a scumbag.

If he directly denied the princess, he would never marry her, and the princess would not have found her mother. He was waiting for the princess to make her mother give up. She felt that her mother was naive and Bao Ruoruo and Bao Mian didn't know that Hao Xin looked down on Bao Yuan at all, and with the original owner's request, he would choose to quickly launch the solution.

In fact, Hao Xin also thinks that Bao Yuan is not as bad as the scumbag, but it doesn't mean she will have a good impression. Moreover, she plans to slap her in the face directly, and she will definitely be beaten with the scumbag at that time.

After the nine days of the exam, Bao Mian slept hard and then served Hao Xin to the farm to harvest crops. This was specially requested by Hao Xin to avoid becoming a person who was not distinguished by grains. He built a mu of land on the farm and asked him to plant it himself, and also recorded all the planting steps. It would be best to improve it. At the beginning, Bao Mian didn't understand Hao Xin's intention and was still awkward for a while, but gradually he also discovered Hao Xin's intention.

Now, although Bao Mian is only 15 years old, he is already an old farmer. With Hao Xin's suggestion, he has improved and cultivated rice seeds. Now he has achieved initial results. Compared with the initial, the harvest of a mu of land has increased by 30%.
