Who made Fu Qiufang's farm in Wanping so picturesque? And there are so many buildings that it’s not too busy!
The key point is that Li Miao is too partial. This is a farm of nearly three thousand acres!
If you don’t come, you won’t come for free. If you don’t eat, you won’t eat for free. These concubines wanted to bankrupt Fu Qiufang. These women don't care about these few taels of silver, but they can't swallow this breath.
Li Miao suddenly didn't know what to say. This is completely contrary to Li Miao’s original intention! Li Miao originally thought of keeping Fu Qiufang away from his wives and concubines.
Good thing now, Li Miao's wives and concubines hurried to Fu Qiufang's farm. Li Miao also began to gradually understand. Why does Taoism pursue governance by doing nothing?
Some things are actually destined long ago. Li Miao couldn't stop him even if he wanted to. So, Li Miao simply sent someone to take Fu Qiufang back to Li Mansion. It's quite pitiful to be alone in Wanping.
Fu Qiufang may have been accustomed to life in Wanping Farm. Within a few days after returning home, he acted coquettishly towards Li Miao and wanted to go back to his farm.
Li Miao could only sigh and let nature take its course. Slowly, Fu Qiufang turned Wanping's farm into a resort.
Li Miao's wives and concubines who frequently visited became Fu Qiufang's best training partners and the best advertisements.
Soon, Fu Qiufang's Wanping farm began to open to the public. There are many dignitaries in the capital, especially the ladies, who have money but no place to spend it.
The tertiary industry around the capital is almost zero. Gradually, Fu Qiufang's farm business became larger and larger, and its service level became better and better. Naturally, I also made a lot of money.
Fu Qiufang's industry is still expanding outwards. A few years later, Fu Qiufang's industry began to rival Lin Daiyu and Li Keqing's industry scale.
Jia Yingchun's industry has long been surpassed by Fu Qiufang. Fu Qiufang's industry began to surpass Lin Daiyu's and Li Keqing's industries.
It is said that the economic base determines the superstructure. Fu Qiufang is simply a weirdo in Li Miao's concubine's room.
Li Miao's concubines are not stupid either, many of them are optimistic about Fu Qiufang. They all like to invest their spare money in Fu Qiufang.
This is no small amount! Fu Qiufang also welcomes everyone, the more the merrier!
In fact, Li Miao knew that Fu Qiufang was very lucky. The concubines who trusted Fu Qiufang all made a lot of money. Fu Qiufang's status has naturally increased.
As Li Miao's concubine, Fu Qiufang's status in the Li Mansion was the same. But the people carrying the sedan chair and the many concubines who had invested in Fu Qiufang really gave Fu Qiufang face.
Sister Fu, the short name of Sister Fu is the affectionate one. Fu Qiufang is much older than them. Over the years, I have developed a big-sister demeanor.
All this seems to have been caused by Li Miao. Especially Li Miao's women, most of them think so. Otherwise, why would Li Miao make an exception for Fu Qiufang? The first move is a farm of three thousand acres.
In fact, it was already doomed somewhere. All this is a story for later, so let’s not mention it now.
Li Miao returned to Li Mansion in the capital. After settling Fu Qiufang's affairs, he waited for a group of concubines to give birth.
In the Li Mansion, the seven concubines including Xiang Ling, Qiu Sheng, Xue Baoqin, Li Wen, Li Qi, Yuanyang, and Xue Yan were all about to give birth. The scene was quite spectacular.
Among these pregnant women, Xiangling, who was working as a personal maid at the time, was the first to become pregnant. Xue Yan was the last one to get pregnant, and there was only half a month difference between them.
Li Miao was born without the five golden flowers because of disaster relief in Henan last year. Now that seven concubines are about to give birth, Li Miao finally has the opportunity to accompany them.
In fact, Li Miao's women are physically strong. They are all pregnant women who are close to completely cleansing their marrow and cutting off their veins. The physique is simply not comparable to that of ordinary pregnant women. There is no need to worry about the safety of mother and child.
Time has entered March. Xiangling's due date has arrived. Xiangling, which was supposed to be produced first, saw no movement.
Xue Baoqin was the first to bear fruit and gave birth to a son.
Xue Baoqin cried with joy. The degree of preference for boys over girls these days is far beyond your imagination. Xue Baoqin finally got his wish. Finally, he lived up to the expectations of his brother Xue Biao.
Other pregnant women who were about to give birth were also happy. Obviously Xue Baoqin made a good start. Last year, five golden flowers were born in succession. The probability of giving birth to a son this year is extremely high.
In the study room of Li Mansion, four people including Li Shi, Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan and Jia Lan were very enthusiastic about studying. No one wants to relax.
In the February examination, Li Shi lived up to expectations and actually won the Asian Dollar. Although he was not Huiyuan, Li Miao was also very excited.
It turns out that my little book boy has become better than his predecessor.
Li Miao, the Bole, should take the lead. Without Li Miao's appreciation, how could Li Shi be where he is today.
Li Shi has grown from an illiterate boy to a qualified Yayuan player today. It took just over seven years in total.
I have to say Li Shi’s intelligence and diligence. In addition, Li Shi was born to study.
In this day and age, it is no joke that no one asks about the cold window for ten years. In other words, from enlightenment to the end of the imperial examination. After studying hard for ten years, I can get the title of scholar. It is already rare.
Those who can pass the Jinshi examination are mainly those in their thirties and forties. They are also the elite of this era, the seeds of reading. Most of them have been reading books for 20 or 30 years.
However, Li Shi's ability to win the Asian dollar this time was beyond Li Miao's expectation.
Li Miao remembers that he was the ninth tribute student in the second class. Later, in the palace examination, he was still ranked ninth among the top two scholars. Obviously compared with Li Shi's Yayuan, Li Miao is much inferior.
Just like in later generations, Li Shi has entered the 100-meter final of the Olympic Games. And he entered the finals in second place. Li Miao missed the finals.
The difference here is clear at a glance. That is the gap between good players and top players. Obviously, Li Shi at this time has entered the top ranks of the imperial examinations in this era.
Li Shouzhong was also inexplicably excited. Li Shi is Li Miao's book boy, who was trained by Li Miao. From Jieyuan in Jiangnan Province to Yayuan in the Huixi Examination. It is full of gold and can withstand consideration.
As long as there is no accident, Li Shi's stable top ten Jinshi will not be able to escape. At least it will not be worse than Li Miao's imperial examination ranking back then. Ideally, he can enter the first class.
The general examination is the threshold for determining Jinshi. Those who pass the examination are considered to be Gongshi. Not surprisingly, the Jinshi was obtained. For an outstanding person like Li Shi, his ranking in the examination also affects his ranking as a Jinshi.
Li Shouzhong was even more excited than Li Miao. Li Shi is equivalent to Li Shouzhong's disciple. Li Shouzhong walked much more briskly, and his chest became much taller and straighter.
Li Shi got the Asian dollar. This is called successors, and this is called inheritance. There is nothing more worthy of pride than this. Let alone Ya Yuan, even if he is a Gongsheng student, he is still a Jinshi.
Jinshi is already the pinnacle of the imperial examination in this era. The leader in crossing the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops! This is his disciple!
Li Shouzhong was happy just thinking about it, and he was happy to have accepted Li Miao, a closed disciple. Li Shouzhong even felt that Li Miao, as a teacher, taught students much better than him.
There is no need to say more about Li Shi and Jia Lan. Brothers Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan, who took part in the county examination this year, both ranked quite well in the county examination. Jia Baoyu ranked third in the county examination and Jia Huan ranked seventh.
You need to know how long the brothers Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan have been studying in Li Mansion. Jia Huan has only been in Li Mansion for more than a year. Jia Baoyu was even shorter, and the two brothers passed the county examination just like that.
In the eyes of outsiders, these are all due to Li Miao. In fact, Li Miao gave very little guidance. Maybe they are all reading enthusiasts too!
However, Li Mansion's collection of imperial examination books is absolutely complete. Li Miao moved almost all the imperial examination books in the Hanlin Academy back home. I would like to ask, whose collection of imperial examination books can compare with Li's study.
Li Shi and the others no longer have to worry about imperial examination books. Li Miao understood it deeply from the beginning. I spent a lot of time and effort on the imperial examination books.
This is exactly what the predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoy the shade. Now Li Shi, Jia Baoyu, Jia Lan, Jia Huan and other four people are the descendants who enjoy the cool weather. The books in Li Mansion's study room are open to them for viewing.
Li Miao noticed that Jia Baoyu remained unmoved. Only look at the imperial examination questions from government examinations and college examinations. Make the final sprint for the scholar's reputation.
Li Miao also sincerely admires Jia Baoyu, and his determination is beyond words. Just relying on this determination, Jia Baoyu's fame will be quite smooth.
Li Shi is making his last effort to become a Jinshi. Sometimes I would come to Li Miao to discuss some issues. At the level of Li Shi, he had reached the peak state of the imperial examination in this era.
It no longer means much to rely on others' guidance, but more to rely on your own aura and understanding. Sometimes it also depends on your own opportunities, luck, etc.
Although Li Miao thinks that his current imperial examination strength is much stronger than Li Shi. But when it comes to Li Shi's level, it's already in a league of its own. It’s basically finalized! Li Miao really had nothing to say.
Rongguo Mansion was much quieter. Especially when Jia Baoyu was at home, everyone wanted to walk on tiptoe. For fear of affecting Dao Jia Baoyu's study.
Jia Baoyu is really up to par, how long did it take! Third place in the county examination. Jia Zheng was shocked. This is only a few months!
Jia Zheng feels that if this continues, Jia Baoyu's reputation as a scholar will only just begin. Jia Baoyu should also have great hopes in this year's provincial examination.
Moreover, Jia Huan's county examination results this time were also quite good. Seventh place in the county examination is also a pretty good result.
Just being suppressed by Jia Baoyu's limelight. Jia Huan is also working hard. In order to gain fame as a scholar, it would certainly be better if there was an opportunity to gain fame as a scholar.
Jia Huan has been studying articles on the provincial examination for a long time. It may also be because it is mixed but not refined. Jia Huan's county examination ranking was dominated by Jia Baoyu.
At first, Jia Huan was a little dissatisfied, thinking that maybe the county magistrate was favoring Jia Baoyu. After all, when discussing knowledge with Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan felt that he had a slight advantage.
But Jia Baoyu made rapid progress, which Jia Huan was deeply impressed by.
From the beginning, Jia Baoyu mostly asked Jia Huan for advice, and later the two discussed each other. Not much time passed.
After the county examination, Jia Huan saw the article posted about Jia Baoyu. Only then did Jia Huan learn about Jia Baoyu's article, and he made a lot of progress.
Jia Baoyu is indeed truly talented and knowledgeable. Jia Huan was also completely convinced. In terms of reading, there is no comparison between myself and Jia Baoyu.
Jia Huan knew that the county magistrate should also want to suppress Jia Baoyu, and maybe he was afraid that people would say that he was flattering Rongguo Mansion.
Otherwise, based on Jia Baoyu's article, the ranking could be mentioned further.
