"Everything is under the control of my cousin and Mr. Xie. Can't you be so generous and let me have a taste of it?" Don't say a word. I think you've been playing with your heart lately. Ye Zi, I will write a letter and send it to my uncle. You’d better go to Beijing as soon as possible to prepare for the exam.”
“If you don’t want to take the exam, I want to travel around the great rivers and mountains of Dayan!”
Qin Zheng. He shook his head into a rattle to express his pursuit of his ideals.
The Qin family is now gaining momentum. He is so good at school. Should he accept or accept someone who accidentally gets the top prize?
He is so smart that he will not face such a dilemma. He will cut off the symptoms at the root, just like that!
“No test, absolutely no test!”
No test?
Fu Chenglan stared at him with stern eyes for a long time and said, "I remember that you and Shen Jieyuan have a good relationship?"
"Xing Luo is my confidant and the savior of the Qin family."
"Shenjiacun made great contributions to capturing the bandits in Qingshanzhai. Zhou Lesong was beheaded here again. Shen Xingluo's name must have been placed on Prime Minister Zhou's desk. Are you sure you don't plan to go to Beijing?"
"!"
When I received the fourth letter from Shenjiacun, the Shenjia carriage had already entered the boundary of Zhuozhou.
In the past month, several people have visited half of Dayan, seen the Shennong Mountains up close, visited large and small Buddhist temples, and stayed in almost every famous town for two or three days.
The beautiful mountains and rivers are so spectacular, but what surprised a few people was not just these, but also the delicious food they tasted along the way.
Cheng Xi would make new dishes using local ingredients almost everywhere he went, which often made other guests in the inn miserable. When they checked out, the shopkeeper looked at them with eyes that were almost filled with gratitude.
"Brother, what did Uncle Mantun say in the letter?"
"The second-season potatoes planted in the village are already three inches high and are growing well. In addition, the potatoes bought by the Qin family Most of the cherry trees and grape vines have survived.”
“When we go back, won’t we be able to see cherry trees and grape vines all over the mountains?”
“Not bad.”
"Great, I can learn winemaking with my sister-in-law next year!"
Shen Xingluo didn't say anything, and Cheng Xi glanced at her meaningfully.
Little fool, your brother Jieyuan of Lin'an Prefecture will definitely be admitted to the top three schools based on his strength. Even if he doesn't stay in the capital, he will be sent abroad. There is no chance of returning to Shenjia Village in the past two years.
"The cherries have to wait until next year. Now is the season when the grapes are ripe. If you want to learn, wait until we get to the capital. I'll leave it to you."
Not to mention that everything can be used to make wine, including cherries and grapes. What?
Shen Xingqi's eyes sparkled when she heard this.
In this month, the little girl has grown up at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her originally baby-fat little face has grown, and her delicate facial features reveal a bit of the youthful vitality unique to a girl.
Cheng Xi's heart moved when he saw this, the little cabbage finally grew up.
The swaying carriage gradually stopped, and when Wang Shu's voice came, several people got out of the car together.
This is a mountain forest near Guandao. The weather is getting cooler in early August of the lunar calendar, the heat has long disappeared, and the autumn breeze is just right.
Soon Su Zhan started a fire, and Wang Shu also brought in some game.
Shen Xingqi automatically took over the cooking task, added a lot of seasonings to the pheasant's belly, wrapped it in thick lotus leaves and buried it under the fire.
There were many passers-by stopping in the woods, including scholars carrying book boxes.
Since August, more and more scholars have been met along the way, which also means that their plan to travel to Beijing has come to an end.
A scholar walked out of an ordinary carriage in the distance. He stared at this for a long time and finally came over.
"Brother, uh, can you lend me a fire?" Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi looked in the direction where the man came from, and saw a pile of unlit firewood piled near the carriage.
“Whatever.”
“Thank you, brother.”
The scholar seemed not to be very sociable, so he breathed a sigh of relief and took away a The red-burning firewood soon ignited a fire.
After a while, the fragrance next to the fire here is fragrant.
Shen Xingqi dug out the lumps of soil from the fire and tapped them twice with a branch. When the hard lumps of soil fell off piece by piece, she peeled them apart layer by layer along the texture of the lotus leaf. Revealing the fragrant chicken inside.
She was just about to cut the meat into small pieces when she heard a swallowing sound and a growling sound from her stomach. When she looked sideways, she saw a four or five-year-old baby with big, pitiful eyes. The beggar chicken looked at her.
“Gudong——”
The little boy’s face turned red and he immediately lowered his head, but after a moment he raised it again and stared at the meat pie.
".Are you hungry?"
"Hungry, Feng'er is hungry."
Shen Xingqi was immediately captured by the boy's pitiful expression, and cut out a small piece of chicken with a dagger. But before the meat was sent out, the scholar who had just borrowed the fire came quickly and picked up the boy.
"Hug, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. My little brother is ignorant and has caused trouble to you all."
"Brother Yu, why is your brother so pitiful and so hungry for you? What if? If you don’t have money to buy food, we can lend it to you!”
"That's right, Brother Yu, we are all students of the same academy. We can't leave this shame outside."
Not far away, there were several handsome men standing or sitting next to a few luxury carriages and a fire. The scholar in patchwork clothes in front is in sharp contrast.
The scholar's face turned red immediately at these words, and he was ashamed and angry but also showed a bit of calmness.
"I won't bother you all. Although I am short of money, I can still afford to support my little brother."
He hugged the boy in his arms and turned around to salute Shen Xingluo, "Sorry to bother you. Please don’t blame me.”
"It's okay. Brother, you are also going to Beijing to take the exam?"
"Yes, I am at Yuhe Pavilion in Liuzhou. I don't know, brother."
"Shen Xingluo of Lin'an Prefecture."
Shen Xing Luo seemed unable to see his embarrassment and took a step aside to give up his position. "Since we are both students rushing to take the exam, Brother Yu, if you don't mind, you can sit down together."
A flash of surprise passed over Yu Heting's face. He didn't expect that after being so ridiculed, someone would extend an invitation, even not far away. Several people in brocade clothes were also shocked, and cast their evil eyes towards the fire.
"Oh, he is another low-born mud-legged guy. It is true that birds of a feather flock together."
"Brother Qian didn't care what he was doing. He just came out of nowhere. After reading a few books, he thought Can you achieve success in the future? ”
“Using mud lumps to make food, the result is But he is so 'different', no wonder he fell in love with Brother Yu."
Shen Xingluo didn't even look at them, and took advantage of Yu Heting's daze to pull him to sit down, while Cheng Xi rubbed him. The itchy fist suppressed the thoughts in his heart and gave Wang Shu and Su Zhan a calm look.
“Thank you, Brother Shen, for inviting us.”
Seeing that he had already sat down, Yu Heting sighed and looked apologetically at a few people, "Those people are not on good terms with me, and everyone is affected."
"They are just clowns, brother Yu, don't worry about them. ”
