Madam Zhou walked out of the inner room and glared at his daughter warningly. "Xiao Shi, why are you talking to your brother? You still haven't apologized to your brother?"
"Mom, I was right, I..."
Zhou Shirou Under her mother's increasingly serious gaze, she couldn't say any more, pouted her lips, and apologized honestly Underground Passage.
"I'm sorry, brother, it was my fault. I shouldn't have talked to you like this just because I felt sorry for you."
Zhou Tianyou's face improved a little, but still didn't look good. "Mom, I'm going back to the house."
Madam Zhou nodded kindly. "Go ahead, we are going to Shuntian Prefecture tomorrow. Have a good rest and keep your spirits up."
After his son entered the room, Madam Zhou said sternly to his daughter, "Xiao Shi, don't say these words to your brother again. If it affects his scientific examination, see how your father punishes you."
Zhou Shirou feels a little aggrieved.
"I see, aren't I thinking about him? That Xia Xiaodie is a treacherous one at a glance, but he just can't see clearly."
"Hmph, it's not as good as that Su Qiao. At least she's good-looking, can read, knows how to settle accounts, and speaks openly and openly. She's not pretentious at all. How can she be like that Xia Xiaodie, who burst into tears before she even said a few words, as if everyone else owed her."
In Madam Zhou's mind, Su Qiao, who was sitting behind the counter settling accounts, with a gentle temperament and a calm expression, agreed with his daughter's point of view.
"Since you like Miss Su, then you should often walk around with her. I think that girl is really good."
It's a pity that his status is a bit low.
Even though her grandfather is now the chief manager of the mine and is fully responsible for the affairs of the mine, he has no fame and no official position.
On the contrary... the girl and the adult seemed to be very familiar with each other, and I don't know if it would be helpful to my husband and son.

On the other side, Su Qiao has returned home.
After eating in the bright hall, the family sat around the table.
"Dad, brother, you can go in a carriage tomorrow! The groom driving the car is not an ordinary person. He has good legs and feet. He will also bring a few servants to take care of your food and lodging."
"Okay."
Su Yaohui father and son did not refuse.
Taking a carriage is too slow. It takes three hours to get to the mansion. Riding a horse is faster, and it only takes an hour and a half at most.
"Also, bring more money. When you go out, you are afraid of encountering any accidents and need money."
Now the family is not short of money, and the exam is a serious matter. We must provide them with good food and housing so that they can concentrate on the exam.
The old man also agreed, "Yes, I need to bring more money. I will be there for five days and have to take five exams in a row. It will be more convenient to bring more money. The boy will also bring it with him, in case anything happens, and there will be a messenger."
The old lady hesitated for a moment. "Then each person should bring twenty taels of silver?"
In the past, when the eldest son went to take the college examination, he could only bring eight taels of silver at most, including the fare.
This time there is a carriage, so there is no need to worry about the carriage.
The old man thought for a while, "Thirty taels, maybe! With a groom and two boys, the cost will be more."
The old lady nodded, went back to the house, took out sixty taels, and gave them to the father and son.
Su Qiao took out two small porcelain bottles from the embroidery bag on his waist and placed them on the table in front of them.
"Dad, brother, this is Qi-Boosting Pill, which can strengthen your body. If you feel tired after a test, just take one. Or if you feel weak before the test, just take one."
This time they will take five exams in a row.
Many candidates are not without talent, but suffer from physical strength.
Scholars generally rarely work or exercise, and most of them are weak scholars.
"Where did this come from?" The old man reached out and picked up a bottle, pulled off the cap and looked inside.
