Sweet baby milk, bring the whole family rich

Chapter 56 Brothers Are Not Kind

Just then, the sound of horse hooves could be heard outside the door. Yun Tingqing stood up and looked towards the door. He saw a carriage parked in front of the door. The driver jumped out and walked towards the yard.

"Excuse me, is this Yun Tingqing's house?" the driver asked loudly.

"Yes, I am Yun Tingqing." Yun Tingqing walked towards the coachman.

"That's good. I'm the carriage sent by the Fang family to pick you up. It's getting late, so get in the car quickly and don't miss the exam." The Fang family coachman said to Yun Tingqing.

Yun Tingqing nodded, turned around, picked up Tiantian, and said to her, "Tiantian, listen to grandma."

Then he said goodbye to Old Lady Yun and got into the carriage.

Tiantian silently prayed in her heart for her uncle to have good luck in the exam, and hopefully get first place!

The carriage slowly drove out of the village and headed towards the town.

Yun Tingqing sat in the car, feeling both nervous and excited.

He knew that this imperial examination was of great significance to him. If he could pass, he would have the opportunity to further his studies and realize his ambitions. More importantly, it would improve his family's situation and help share some of the pressure. However, he also understood that the road to the imperial examination was full of competition and pressure.

Along the way, Yun Tingqing's mind was full of thoughts, and he secretly made up his mind to give his all to face this exam. He believed that as long as he worked hard, he would be able to get good results.

"Brother Fang." The carriage stopped at Fang's house, and Fang Jingyan also got on the carriage. Yun Tingqing bowed to Fang Jingyan and said that it was all thanks to Fang Jingyan this time, otherwise his family would have to spend more money to rent a carriage.

"Tingqing." Fang Jingyan sat next to Yun Tingqing. Although Fang Jingyan's name sounds quiet and gentle, his personality is actually not much different from Yun Tingshu's. As soon as he sat down, he began to chatter to Yun Tingqing.

From the day I returned home, to the food my family prepared for me, to today when my parents sent me out of the Fang Mansion.

Yun Tingqing just listened, nodding from time to time, and suddenly thought of the food his little niece gave him. In order to repay her for letting him ride in his carriage, he opened his bag, took out the instant noodles wrapped in oil paper, and handed it to Fang Jingyan.

"What is this?" Fang Jingyan looked at the thing wrapped in oil paper curiously.

"It's a kind of food. You can eat it by soaking it in hot water for a quarter of an hour." Yun Tingqing explained to Fang Jingyan.

"Oh!" Fang Jingyan nodded to show that she understood, then took the oil paper bag handed to her by Yun Tingqing, opened it and found that it contained a golden noodle, some white powder, some dried vegetables, meat slices and the like.

"How do you eat this?" Fang Jingyan asked with some confusion as he looked at these things.

"Put these noodles in a bowl, add these seasonings and hot water and mix well. You can eat it after a quarter of an hour." Yun Tingqing patiently explained to Fang Jingyan.

"It's so simple!" Fang Jingyan said in surprise: "Then I'll give it a try."

After saying that, he poured the contents of the oil paper into a bowl according to Yun Tingqing's instructions, added hot water and stirred evenly, then waited quietly.

After about a quarter of an hour, Fang Jingyan picked up the spoon and took a bite. Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "Wow, it tastes really good!"

"Is it delicious?" Yun Tingqing asked.

"It's delicious! I've never eaten anything so delicious and convenient. Where did you buy it?" Fang Jingyan asked in surprise.

"I didn't buy it, my family made it," Yun Tingqing replied calmly. His mind flashed back to her sweet smile and her sweet voice, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. Fang Jingyan, standing by, was stunned by Yun Tingqing's rare smile. He had never imagined that this usually serious junior apprentice could actually smile so gently.

Fang Jingyan pondered this inwardly, and suddenly, as if enlightened, he understood something. He reached out and gently patted Yun Tingqing on the shoulder, saying with a smile, "Tingqing, you're being disrespectful. Why didn't you tell me, your brother, that you got married?" Yun Tingqing's face flickered with confusion when he heard this. He looked at Fang Jingyan and asked, "Brother Fang, how did you know I got married?"

Fang Jingyan chuckled smugly, feeling he had seen through everything. He confidently explained, "Tingqing, were you thinking about your wife back home? This is the first time I've seen you smile." Yun Tingqing then realized that it was his expression that had caused Fang Jingyan to misunderstand him. However, Yun Tingqing knew in his heart that he didn't have a wife at home, only a lovely niece, Tiantian.

"Brother Fang, I was just thinking about my little niece." Yun Tingqing explained to Fang Jingyan.

"Little niece?" Fang Jingyan looked puzzled. He had never heard Yun Tingqing say that he had a little niece at home. If he had heard it, he would have visited the Yun family long ago. Fang Jingyan liked little girls very much, but he only had a naughty brother at home.

Yun Tingqing nodded and said, "My eldest sister-in-law gave birth to a little niece last year. She is very cute."

"Tingqing, I want to visit your house after I come back from the exam." Fang Jingyan said to Yun Tingqing with shining eyes.

"Why did you think of visiting my house?" Yun Tingqing asked with a puzzled look.

"Ahem, I've known Tingqing for so long, but I haven't visited her home yet. This is not in accordance with etiquette." Fang Jingyan talked nonsense seriously, but he was secretly proud in his heart, thinking that he finally found a chance to go to the Yun family to see that lovely little niece.

After hearing this, Yun Tingqing felt that what Fang Jingyan said made some sense. After all, the two of them had known each other for a long time, so they should really visit each other. So, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, after we finish the exam, you can come to my house."

"Young master, there is an inn. Should we rest for a night before continuing our journey?" The coachman outside the door shouted to Fang Jingyan.

Fang Jingyan heard this and glanced at the sky. It was gradually getting dark. They still had a few days to travel to reach the provincial capital. If they didn't get enough rest, it might affect the rest of the journey. Thinking of this, he said to the driver, "Okay, let's rest in this inn tonight."

As he said that, he jumped off the carriage and walked into the inn with Yun Tingqing.

Fang Jingyan said to the servant, "Go and reserve two upper rooms." Hearing the word "upper rooms," Yun Tingqing quickly said, "Brother Fang, there's no need to spend money. Just reserve a bunk bed for me."

"Tingqing, how can you have a good rest in a dormitory? Listen to me, I will help you with this room as a reward for what you just gave me." Fang Jingyan stopped Yun Tingqing from continuing.

Yun Tingqing had no choice but to nod in agreement, but secretly planned to give Fang Jingyan some of the food that Tiantian gave her, even if it was to cover the rent for the next few days. After all, the things Tiantian gave her could not be measured in silver.

On the other side, in Yunjia Village, Yun Tingluo, who had just returned from farming, learned as soon as he entered the house that his third brother had already gone to the provincial capital. He couldn't help but slap his thigh in annoyance.

He said with a look of regret, "Oh! I should have told my third brother that I wanted to go to the provincial capital with him!" His wife beside him comforted him, "It's okay, my third brother is not a child anymore, and he has Master Fang to accompany him, so he'll be fine."

Yun Tingluo sighed, shook his head, and walked into the house, still filled with regret. He wished time could go back, to the time when he could speak his mind. Unfortunately, it was too late. Now he could only hope that his third brother would be doing well in the provincial capital.

Hua Niang comforted Yun Tingluo: "Third brother, you are blessed by heaven. I believe that this exam will go well."
