The little cook in the book has fallen asleep

Although the happy event Xiao Ou mentioned was very tempting, it did not prevent the Cheng family from continuing to work, right? Early the next morning, Cheng Yiyu and the others went up the mountain with Xiaowu and Xiaoliu to collect pig grass!

Cheng Xiaoba was finally liberated. Since many people were collecting grass for pigs these two days, Old Lady Cheng gave him a day off. Now he was responsible for playing with his sister at home.

"Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu, you can play with my big sword!" Cheng Xiaoba came with the big wooden sword inherited from his brothers.

"Your sister hasn't woken up yet, you go and play by yourself first!" Old Mrs. Cheng poked her head out from the kitchen and said. This rascal dared to wake up her daughter, so she would treat him to fried pork with bamboo shoots!

What’s more, the worst thing is the dead bird at the door. But people are shouting, “Good news, good news!” I don’t know what it’s so excited about, but it’s shouting in the yard so early in the morning.

And even though the Cheng family members thought it was noisy today, they didn't interrupt it. Who doesn't like to have a big happy event at home? The Cheng family was no exception.

Cheng Yu was awakened by Xiao Ou's voice. She got up and signed in.

Wow, the system is quite generous today. In addition to ten points, there are also twenty taels of silver and a basket of hard candies.

It seems that something good is going to happen today!

She got up slowly and saw Cheng Xiaoba squatting in front of their room counting ants. When he saw her come out, he excitedly shouted towards the kitchen: "Grandma, grandma, my sister is awake!"

Mrs. Cheng immediately poked her head out from the kitchen and said, "Nannan, don't come out yet. Grandma will get you some water to wash your face."

Old Mrs. Cheng was making breakfast in the kitchen, so there was ready hot water. She took out Cheng Yu's small basin, filled it with warm water and used it to help her dress and wash her face.

Cheng Yu went back to bed, dangling her feet while waiting for her grandmother to come and help her wash up. She looked as obedient as possible.

I haven't been to this cold noodle shop for several days. Is it time to open it for business? The old hag of the Cheng family should have been buried.

At this moment, after Mr. Cheng followed the funeral procession to bury Old Lady Cheng, he left without looking back.

Originally, Old Mrs. Cheng wanted to come with him, but he was reluctant to let his wife suffer with him.

So he went alone to see the old woman being buried. After he piled up the soil for Old Lady Cheng, he went home without looking back. She wouldn't bless their family anyway, so forget it!

He had made up his mind. He would go to the village chief's house in the evening to buy the land at the foot of Qingshan. Otherwise, after Cheng Pandi got into trouble, Cheng Tiezi would keep staring at their family viciously, and he was afraid that something really might happen!

When Cheng Pandyi got into trouble, Cheng Tiezi divorced her without saying a word. He also removed Tiedan and his three grandsons from the family tree despite the pleadings of his son and daughter-in-law.

He couldn't afford to gamble with such a cruel person living next to their house.

When Old Mrs. Cheng carried the water into the second bedroom, she saw her little girl swinging her little feet boredly, with her head down, wondering what she was thinking about.

"Nannan, you little rascal, what are you thinking about now?" asked Old Mrs. Cheng with a smile.

Then she put the basin on the shelf, picked up Cheng Yu's small handkerchief, dipped it in water, then helped Cheng Yu wipe her face, picked up the clothes beside the bed and put them on her. Well, her little girl is so pretty.

"Grandma, make money!" Cheng Yu also said with a smile.

"You little rascal, let your father and others worry about making money. I just hope you grow up healthy!" Old Mrs. Cheng touched Cheng Yu's head.

She felt guilty towards her little granddaughter. Now the family's profitable business was all her granddaughter's idea. She should have been carefree at such a young age, but she was born in their family.

But in the eyes of outsiders, Cheng Yu is the apple of everyone's eye. She is spoiled by her grandparents, loved by her parents, uncles, aunts, and her brother. Her clothes always fit her well, she is always clean, she always has a fashionable and beautiful hair ornament on her head, and her family members always rush to hold her when she goes out.

This is how Cheng Yu is viewed by the Liu sisters. They are also daughters, but why is she different from them?

Liu Yue, the youngest girl in the Liu family, was looking at Cheng Yu, who was being led by Xiao Ba to the door not far away, waiting for his other brothers. Why couldn't she be born in the Cheng family? Why was Cheng Yu so lucky!

Liu Yue always had a dream. In her dream, Cheng Yu was her stepping stone and should eagerly give her all the good things. But now it was the other way around! These should all be hers!

"Sister, that man looks so scary. Let's go. We won't wait for our brothers. Let's go back and feed the rabbits."

After all, he was just a child, and he couldn't hide his vicious eyes. When Cheng Xiaobay saw Liu Yue's eyes, he immediately took Cheng Yu into the house and closed the door behind him.

"Bad guy, bad guy, close the door!" Xiao Ou was also flying in the sky, shouting towards the door.

Cheng Yu: Oh wow, the original heroine wasn't that pretty, what do you mean by "I feel pity for her" and "Flowers bloom when I see them"? These words are simply insulting!

At noon, Cheng Yu made a fuss for the first time in his life, asking for braised pork and meatballs.

Fortunately, no one had anything to do today, so they were happy to pamper her. Just as the Cheng family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had fried the meatballs, they heard the sound of gongs and drums outside. It seemed that today was really a good day. Maybe someone's family was going to have another wedding.

Cheng Xiaoba pulled Xiaoqi, opened the door and ran out to watch the excitement. As soon as they arrived at the village entrance, they saw officials dressed in red holding and beating gongs.

When County Magistrate Wei and a middle-aged man in official uniform entered the village, they immediately stepped aside to make way for them and continued to watch the excitement from the side road.

"Hey, Xiaoqi and Xiaoba, why are you here?" County Magistrate Wei looked at the two familiar little faces and reached out to touch them.

"Oh, that's annoying, Lord Wei, you can't pinch my face!" Cheng Xiaoba said immediately like a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger.

"Why?" County Magistrate Wei was also touched by his cuteness and asked immediately.

"Because, my face can only be pinched by my wife!" Cheng Xiaoba covered his cheeks with his hands and stepped back.

Cheng Xiaoba's little action immediately made County Magistrate Wei and the middle-aged man beside him laugh, "Sir Wei, whose child is this?"

"Lord Hua, these are Cheng Yiyu, Cheng Zhiwen's seventh and eighth brothers. They are very interesting!" County Magistrate Wei said immediately, gently pulling Cheng Xiaoba.

"I find it very interesting too, little guy. I have something to ask your brother. Can you lead the way for us?" said Magistrate Hua.

The Cheng family is really capable. They have produced one Jieyuan and two Huiyuan. The seventh and eighth brothers seem to be very smart too.

The two children led a large group of people to the Cheng family. As soon as they entered the alley, County Magistrate Wei immediately ordered the officials to slow down and shouted, "The Cheng family has won the imperial examination, the Cheng family has won the imperial examination!"

They entered the alley with music and dancing, and all the villagers came out to watch the fun.

"Cheng Zhiwen, Cheng Yiyu, Cheng Liyao, you have passed the imperial examination!" the official reporting the imperial examination shouted immediately.

The door of Cheng's house was suddenly opened, and then a group of people came out one after another.

"Sir, what did you say?" Cheng Lixiao saluted the officer respectfully and then asked.

"My dear, Cheng Yiyu, Cheng Zhiwen and Cheng Liyao have all passed the imperial examination!" the official answered patiently.

"Cheng Lixiao, long time no see. There is no doubt that your three younger brothers have indeed passed the imperial examination. Cheng Zhiwen is the first place winner, Cheng Yiyu and Cheng Liyao are the fourth and fifth place winners. Congratulations to you!" County Magistrate Wei said with a smile as he stepped out from behind the official.

"Yes, congratulations. Who are the three of them? Cheng Zhiwen, Cheng Yiyu and Cheng Liyao?" Magistrate Hua was not annoyed that they ignored him and asked cheerfully immediately.

"By the way, Lixiao, this is Prefect Hua, Lord Hua, Lord Hua, this is the young master of the Cheng family, Cheng Lixiao." County Magistrate Wei introduced the two to each other.

"Hello, Lord Hua. My brother and his friends went to the mountains to collect grass for pigs. They should be back soon!" Cheng Lixiao saluted respectfully and replied immediately.

"Lord Hua, Li Xiao is Sun Wu's apprentice. The Sun family's escort agency was attacked some time ago, and they wiped out more than a dozen bandits. Isn't he injured and recuperating at home?" County Magistrate Wei said with a smile. How were these children of the Cheng family trained? Each one is better than the other.

"Xiao brother, quickly let the adults in. Huaxiang, go make some tea and bring it over. Xiaowu, go to the fields and call your father and grandfather back! Xiaoliu, go to the village chief and the head of the village and call the two uncles to come and talk to Lord Wei and the others." Old Mrs. Cheng arranged all the work and immediately went into the kitchen to soak the rice.

It’s late at this time, and the adults look tired. They must not have had lunch. Make more. No wonder the daughter was so difficult to deal with today, making braised pork and meatballs one moment and the next.

There happened to be three stone tables under the big tree. The officials sat at one table, and Magistrate Wei and Prefect Hua sat at another table. The breeze blew, making everyone squint their eyes comfortably.

Li Huaxiang and her sisters-in-law brewed three large pots of tea, and poured tea for everyone in clean bamboo cups.

"My Lords, please have some tea. This is our new bamboo cup. Try it, it tastes different!" Under her mother's guidance, Zhao Yunniang was able to handle some situations.

"Okay, thank you brothers and sisters-in-law. Where are Brother Cheng and the others?" County Magistrate Wei said with a smile.

"They went to the fields. My mother asked Xiaowu to call them!" Zhao Yun's mother said, and then she went to the kitchen to help her mother-in-law with her eldest sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law.

"Your humble servant greets you two adults!" Old Master Cheng came back with his three sons and immediately bowed to Magistrate Wei and Prefect Hua.

"You're welcome, Uncle Cheng, please take a seat!" said Magistrate Wei.

"My lords, please sit down first. We will change our clothes first. Xiao'er, please keep the two lords company." Then Mr. Cheng took his three sons to wash and change clothes.

After a while, Cheng Yiyu and the other two also came back. They bowed respectfully to County Magistrate Wei and the other two, then put the backpack back to its place, went back to their room, quickly changed their clothes, and then went under the big tree.

The head of the village and the village chief also came. When they learned that the Cheng family had produced a first place winner and two second place winners, they couldn't stop smiling.

As expected, Brother Tielin’s family has become rich. Having three people in the imperial examination is probably rare among the aristocratic families.

The three brothers Cheng Yiyu looked at each other excitedly. It was all thanks to Nannan. When the eldest brother was seriously injured and recuperating at home, the book that the younger sister took out helped them a lot.

My sister is really their lucky star! They helped her earn a job! That’s great!

"My two lords, it's getting late. My old women and the others have prepared the food. Let's go to the main room and have lunch together!" Xiao Wu quietly ran to Grandpa Cheng and whispered a few words to him. Grandpa Cheng immediately stood up and said to everyone.

"Ah, this...how can I feel so embarrassed?" Prefect Hua said immediately.

As a prefect, he had met all kinds of people, but only the Cheng family was well-mannered and neither humble nor arrogant, which made him feel comfortable getting along with them. Especially the three brothers, who had their own opinions. Before he knew it, it was lunch time.

"It's a home-cooked meal, sir, just don't be disgusted!" said Mr. Cheng.

"Or, let's just eat under this big tree. I think it's comfortable here!" Magistrate Wei said happily. Eating while feeling the breeze was comfortable just thinking about it.

"Yes, let's eat here!" Magistrate Hua also agreed.

After hearing what the two adults said, the three Cheng Jin brothers immediately brought out two more tables. Cheng Lixiao and his six younger brothers washed and set the dishes. After the dishes were served, they sat at their respective tables. This time, Cheng Lixiao, Cheng Yiyu and others sat at the same table with the adults for a rare occasion.

In this way, everyone ended the lunch in this joyful atmosphere, and Magistrate Wei and Prefect Hua resigned.

Before leaving, Magistrate Hua took out a red envelope, saying that it was a reward from the provincial capital to the top scorer and the juren, which was exactly three hundred taels of silver.
