The next day, Zhang Fu and Guan Liqin and the other two came to Jinyu Hutong.

Looking at the closed door, Guan Liqin couldn't help but say, "Why are the side doors not open during the day?"

Zhang Fu's servant immediately stepped forward and slapped the door vigorously.

Seeing that Mo Yan opened the door, Guan Liqin said in surprise: "Why didn't you even invite a gatekeeper?"

Mo Yan smiled and said, "Yes, but Uncle Ding is working in the vegetable field now. No one comes to our house on weekdays, so the door is usually closed."

The three of them were a little confused: "In the vegetable field? You are still growing vegetables outside."

Mo Yan smiled and said, "We don't have anything to grow in our garden. Uncle Ding looked at it, but unfortunately he planted vegetables."

The three of them were a little curious, and after entering the house, they headed straight to the vegetable garden.

Lao Ding was a person who couldn't rest. He had almost twenty pieces of land. In addition to planting beans, lentils, cabbage, cabbage, and other potatoes, he also raised seven or eight chickens.

These chickens were all wrapped around with fences.

After reading it, Zhang Fu said with a heartache: "Such a good garden is actually used to grow vegetables and raise chickens. It's a waste of natural resources, it's really a waste of natural resources!"

Guan Liqin said, "I think it's good. Anyway, it's a waste to plant flowers and grasses. It's better to grow vegetables. This not only saves money, but also allows you to eat the freshest vegetables."

Mo Yanai said this: "Yes! We only buy some meat on weekdays, and we don't have to buy vegetables or eggs."

Not only do you need to buy it, but you can also sell it for more! Fu Jingen didn't want this money, so Uncle Ding kept it himself.

When he returned to the main courtyard and saw Fu Jingen, Guan Liqin exclaimed: "Brother Fu, everyone around you is full of talents!"

The servants around him can not only accompany him to study and help me grind ink, but also wash and cook. The doorman at home can be both guarding the house and growing vegetables. Everyone is an all-rounder!

Fu Jingen nodded and said, "It's better than the entourage around you."

Guan Liqin felt a toothache.

Pointing to the few wing rooms, Fu Jingen said, "The house has been cleaned, you can choose it yourself!"

These rooms are spacious and have good lighting and desks are placed in the room. I have to say that the arrangement is still very well done.

The three of them chose the house and went to Fu Jingen's study. At this time, everyone gathered together to exchange the information they knew, such as the preferences of the main and deputy examiners. This is very important to the candidates. If the articles they wrote happened to be something that the chief examiners did not like, no matter how well they did, they would fail.

Guan Liqin said with a bitter face: "Well, Grand Secretary Zeng likes classics and poetry the most."

But these two items are something he is not good at.

Fu Jingen's articles are very good at arithmetic, and the classics are also good, but the poems are mediocre. He was also a little worried when he met such a chief examiner, but he was used to having a stern face and the others couldn't tell what he was thinking.

The four of them gathered together to exchange their own knowledge and discussed some knowledge during this period.

Mo Yan walked in and said, "Young Master, it's time to have lunch."

The lunch was very hearty, including pork trotters with sauce, potatoes stewed with beef, cabbage and shrimp, sugar-cooked pork ribs, steamed fish, fish-flavored eggplant, fried lentils, and clear soup chicken.

Guan Liqin rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Fu, you are too polite. Just cook a few dishes, why bother going to the restaurant to call the table!"

Fu Jingen said: "It's not called by the restaurant, it's made by the chef at home."

Guan Liqin's eyes were almost glaring out: "Your cook is so good."

Although I haven't eaten it yet, just by looking at the appearance of these dishes, you will know that the taste is not much worse.

Fu Jingen smiled and said, "Sit down and eat!"

Guan Liqin first picked up a pig's trotter, chewed it for two bites, and exclaimed: "This taste is no worse than that of Fuyun Tower!"

Zhang Fu likes to eat fish, so he first picked up a piece of fish meat. After eating, his eyes changed: "The fish meat is soft and tender, fresh and fragrant. Brother Fu, where did you invite me, the chef?"

Guan Liqin also asked, "Yes, where did you find such a good cook?"

This time I came to the Fu family, I made a lot of money. Not only was the environment good, but the food was also good.

Fu Jingen swallowed the shrimp in her mouth and said, "It was sent by my grandmother, and said I would eat better before the exam so that I can be energetic."

"Your grandma isn't..."

Speaking of this, Guan Liqin reacted: "You are talking about Mrs. Gu, are you?"

Fu Jingen nodded: "Yes."

Guan Liqin couldn't help but envy: "Brother Fu, you are so happy. It's a pity that I've been engaged, otherwise I would have gone to the Gu family to propose marriage."

After saying that, Guan Liqin looked at Zhang Fu and said, "You have not been engaged yet, you can consider it."

Zhang Fu shook his head and said, "No need to consider it, my parents will not agree."

His parents wanted to marry him a wife who would help him in his career. The Lin family's experience was not within the scope of his parents' consideration.

Guan Liqin kindly reminded: "The temper of a girl with a wealthy family is not something that ordinary people can bear."

Fu Jingen looked at Li Nan happily gnawing on the pig's trotters, and couldn't help but remind Guan Liqin: "If you talk about it again, the pig's trotters will be gone."

All three of them ate this meal so well that their stomachs were round.

Zhang Fu burped and said embarrassedly: "I'm so full of food, let's go for a walk in the vegetable garden."

On the way to the vegetable garden, Guan Liqin suddenly realized that the seaweed rice balls and beef sauce brought by Tong Shifu Jingen must have been prepared by the chef Gu.

However, although Guan Liqin seems careless and careless, he is actually a good idea. This happened before the engagement, so he couldn't tell the public. He smiled and said, "Brother Fu, can you ask for something!"

"I want the cook to prepare food for you too?"

Guan Liqin said happily: "Yes, yes, don't worry, I will pay the cook."

Li Nan and Zhang Fu said in unison: "I want it too."

At the same time, Mrs. Gu was also talking to Qingshu: "We will go to Lingshan Temple tomorrow."

"What are you doing when you go to Lingshan Temple?"

Mrs. Gu glared at her eyes: "I have to ask this, of course I am asking the Bodhisattva to bless Jingen to pass the imperial examination."

An An said with a smile: "Grandma, whether you can pass the exam depends on your talent and learning. With the level of your future brother-in-law, there will definitely be no problem."

Mrs. Gu said, "Then we ask the Bodhisattva to bless him with a smooth and smooth exam."

Of course, it is best to take the first place again.

"Grandma, I'm going to school tomorrow."

Mrs. Gu quit and said, "Let Caimeng go to school tomorrow morning to ask you for leave. If you don't go, I will go alone."

Qingshu said helplessly: "Okay, I'll go and ask for leave tomorrow."

After asking for peace and happiness, Mrs. Gu asked someone to send it to Fu Jingen.

When Guan Liqin saw him put Ping Anfu on, he reminded him: "This Ping Anfu cannot be brought into the examination room."

Fu Jingen glanced at him, as if saying that you are not talking about nothing.
