The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms

Niu Yanli closed the paper fan and his chin almost dropped.

What generation is this?

He also wants to marry Zhou Mingqi. If he really takes her into the room, wouldn't she have to call him uncle according to seniority?

Niu Yanli hit his head with a paper fan, thinking that this idea was simply unbelievable.

"Yes, I am her uncle."

Zhu Chenxi only greeted him out of courtesy. He didn't want to say more to him. He just greeted and entered the yard.

"Sir, look at this Zhu Chenxi. Ever since the Autumn Examination, he has ignored us."

The little servant boy looked in the direction Zhu Chenxi left, his eyes wide enough to kill a fly.

"Heh, drinking some horse urine makes him arrogant. If he offends me, his life or death is unpredictable. Let's go into the yard and watch the ceremony."

In Niu Yanli's eyes, Zhu Chenxi is a good student in the eyes of the teacher, but he is just a pedantic wooden lump, with the same character as those teachers.

This autumn examination, his results may not be as good as his.

He asked his grandfather to predict the questions for him and even bought a lot of prediction book collections. His test paper was completely filled with answers, leaving no space at all.

He didn't believe that Zhu Chenxi performed as well as he did in the exam!

When the results come out, he will slap him in the face.

As soon as Zhu Chenxi walked in, Niu Yanli followed.

Zhou Mingqi has always liked this little uncle very much.

He is well-educated and easy-going.

"Uncle, please come in and sit down. Xiaojie and Mingyuan have asked me several times whether you are here."

Zhou Mingqi warmly entertained Zhu Chenxi and welcomed him into the house.

There was a charcoal fire burning in the room, and chestnuts and peanuts were roasting next to it, so it wasn't cold at all.

Niu Yanli, who was ignored, breathed heavily through his nostrils. Wasn't he, a handsome young man, worthy of being entertained?

"Sir, you should also come inside and warm yourself by the fire. It's so cold outside and you're wearing so little. It would be bad if you get frozen."

Niu Yanli closed the paper fan in his hand, raised a smile at the corner of his lips, and walked into the house along the steps given by Zhou Mingqi.

This was the first time Zhou Mingqi had met Niu Yanli. From the way he was dressed, he knew that he was not from an ordinary family and was most likely the son of some wealthy family.

Out of courtesy as a host, Zhou Mingqi saw him standing at the door and warmly invited him in.

Zhou Mingqi looked at the paper fan in Niu Yanli's hand and complained in his heart, "Maybe this guy's brains were kicked by a donkey. Why is he fanning himself in this cold winter?"

In the main house, a group of women were chatting with Zhou Mingshu.

After talking about this and that, we finally got to the auspicious time.

Just as Mrs. Niu said, the hairpin was made by her.

She said with a smile, "Mingshu girl, people in Sanshui County say that I am blessed to be the wife of the county magistrate. I only hope that this blessing will not end and will be passed on to you. I knew you were a blessed girl the first time I saw you. You just turned 15 this year, and this blessing is still to come."

"Thank you, Madam. Mingshu also hopes that you will be blessed with good fortune and live as long as the Southern Mountains."

After the hairpin ceremony, everyone started to eat the coming-of-age banquet.

The village chief Wang Fugui had a loud voice that could be heard by people in both courtyards.

Since Lord Qi and Lord Xue were not there, the county magistrate's table was less lively.

But you can have a few more glasses of this fine wine.

"Master Niu, we heard that your grandson will take the imperial examination this autumn. We would like to congratulate you in advance. He will definitely be on the list!"

"Hey, hey, hey, have a good time, why bring up this matter? My grandson is still young, I just hope he can perform consistently. If he fails once, there's no harm in taking the exam again."

"What I said is what I said."

The gentlemen followed the magistrate's words and complimented him enthusiastically.

Everyone was eating happily, except Zhou Mingqi's table.

She really regretted that she shouldn't have sat at the same table with her uncle Mingyuan and the others, because with the presence of a nobleman at the table, she felt uncomfortable whether they were talking or eating.

No matter what you say, the other party can talk about the past and present, quote allusions, and show off his talent.

As if she is illiterate and doesn't understand!

Niu Yanli had been bragging for so long at the table, but he didn't see any reaction from Zhou Mingqi, so he was puzzled.

If it were usual, this woman would have stars in her eyes.

Why is this happening today? No one at the table agrees with him, except his own little servant.

Even the two guys opposite were holding their bowls while eating. Even when they were talking, they kept their heads close together and made little noise.

Zhou Mingqi finished his meal as quickly as he could and then left immediately.

If you eat at the same table with such a person, you will spit out if you take one more bite.

"San Ya, I really regret not eating at the same table with you just now. There was a fool at Mingyuan's table showing off his talent. I felt that the food was not delicious anymore. I ran back immediately after I was full."

"Who is it? How dare you brag in front of Xiaojie Mingyuan? Don't you have your uncle at the table?"

"Yeah, they only know how to eat and don't know how to manage. If it weren't for the fact that I don't have enough knowledge and don't know how to respond, I wouldn't be looking forward to seeing them."

"Well, it's human nature. If someone knows something, they will definitely want to show off. Don't take it too seriously."

"Well, I don't want to think about it anymore, but it's really a pity that Master Qi is not here. I was still thinking about what gift he would give you."

Zhou Mingqi is a woman who stands at the forefront of gossip. She is even more looking forward to something happening between them than Qi Rui.

"It doesn't matter. Lord Qi is busy with official duties. Besides, even the county magistrate and his family came to my small coming-of-age ceremony. I feel very honored."

"You are the only one who is considerate. If someone discovered such a large iron mine under my jurisdiction, I would be willing to burn incense for him, not to mention letting me attend other people's coming-of-age ceremonies. Don't you know that those people at home are secretly happy?"

Zhou Mingqi started performing as he spoke, making Zhou Mingshu laugh out loud.

I have been accompanying those ladies properly all morning today and I am really exhausted.

Now I finally have a chance to have a good laugh during the lunch break.

"Eh? Lord Chengfeng?"

"Miss Mingshu, I am here at the behest of my master to present you with the coming-of-age gift."

Chengfeng stepped forward and handed over a treasure box.

Zhou Mingshu took it and felt that the box was really heavy.

That’s right, there are ten taels of silver in it.

"Master Chengfeng, Mingshu thanks you very much. He is still thinking about me even though he is not here."

Chengfeng smiled but said nothing. You two are both frequent correspondents, so there is no need to be so unfamiliar with each other...

After Chengfeng left, Zhou Mingqi was furious.

"Saya, quickly open it and see what the gift is. Quick, quick, quick."

Zhou Mingqi is even more impatient than Zhou Mingshu.

"If you are curious, just give me ten taels of silver."

"How do you know? You haven't even opened it yet."

"You were given ten taels of silver at your coming-of-age ceremony, and I'm sure it's the same for me."
