The bustling in the straw shed is a bustling for scholars, and the coachman outside the straw shed also has his own bustling.
"Today's Shooting Emperor exam, almost everyone took the horse riding. My young master was in poor health and took a car alone."
A voice came beside him, and someone sat down with a thud.
"...Hey, brother, where are you from? Why did you become a beggar?"
Of course, Huang Ju ignored it, and the little bug on his feet was frightened and slid away.
"Uncle, he came out of Huangsha Road..." The guy in the straw hut walked out with a bowl of soup and plate of meat, "Well... the matter on Huangsha Road is complicated... I'm too busy today and I'll tell you another day... In short, you stay away from him..." Put down the soup and meat, "Your young master gave it to you..." After saying that, he hurried in, and the greetings and laughter in the straw hut became more lively.
Qi Suo didn't use chopsticks, and picked up the large piece of meat on the plate with his hands and tore it. The marinade that was soaked in for a long time drips off, making the aroma stronger.
"...... It's not that my young master is poor and stingy and can't bear to invite everyone to a big restaurant in the city... Sometimes this kind of rural restaurant is more flavorful." Qi Soo said, handing the torn piece of meat to Huang Ju, "It's like this boiled beef... you taste it, it's very delicious."
Of course, Huang Ju didn't answer, and buried his head in his knees. The flesh was indeed very fragrant... It smelled so fragrant that he even remembered the memories of eating and drinking that had disappeared from a long time ago when he was a child.
Qi Suo didn't force or say anything unhappy. He stuffed the meat into his mouth with both hands and chewed it. He leaned over from Huang Ju to look into the straw shed. A group of people in the straw shed were picking up big bowls and raising their glasses to drink together.
"Scholars can also drink big bowls of wine and eat meat." He said, then lowered his head and picked up the tea soup in front of him and sighed, "My young master is good at everything, but sometimes it is very strange. He doesn't let me drink when driving, and says he doesn't drive or drive... Strangely, this tea soup tastes bad with meat." After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp, as if he was drinking, smacking his lips and imagining.
"Actually, you are not young anymore... you can support yourself by doing whatever you want."
"..what you up to?..."
Qi Suo sat next to Huang Ju while eating meat and drinking soup while talking. Huang Ju never said a word, Qi Suo didn't care and said it was lively.
The candidates kept passing by on the road, and saw some people who looked at the past with a smile in the straw shed, and some people who came in to drink and talked for a few words. The sunlight gradually tilted...
"Look at how popular my young master is... what about Duke Jie Yuan... It's good to study." Qi Suo sat on the ground and looked at the straw hut and sighed, and looked at Huang Ju again, "Young man, do you want to study?"
Huang Ju ignored it.
There were clattering footsteps on the road, accompanied by female voices.
"Brother Ju."
Qi Suo saw Huang Ju, who was like a stone, raised his head. He also looked over. On the road, there was a little girl standing, as if she was only six or seven years old, wearing a green shirt and a small yellow skirt, with her eyebrows on her front and a small braid, and five-color silk threads wrapped around it... It is the common dress for children today.
He is young and doesn't think he looks very good, but he is clean and cute.
Whose children?
Huang Ju didn't seem to recognize him, and looked at the little girl running over and didn't say anything.
The little girl stood in front of him, stretched her hands and turned around with a smile.
"Brother, look, my clothes look good." She said, grabbing the braids for Huang Ju to show them, "Look, there are so many colorful ropes... That mother-in-law can comb her braids... My hair has been cut a lot, and she can tie it up for me..." Looking at Huang Ju's smile, narrowing her eyes, "Mother-in-law said that she could comb her better after she grows."
Huang Ju looked at her and nodded.
Xiaorong looked at Qiswoo, Qiswoo smiled at her, picked up the tea soup and took a sip, moved aside, and Xiaorong squatted down in front of Huang Ju and took out a large paper bag from her arms.
"Brother, are you hungry?...I haven't eaten anything for several days...I brought you something to eat."
He opened it and raised it to Huang Ju, and looked at it with a look, "Egg cake, lotus root candy, and osmanthus fragrant cake... are all good things."
Xiaorong smiled at him, and did not answer or drive him away, and asked him to taste it.
Huang Ju reached out and took it and lowered his head to eat slowly. Xiaorong squatted in front of him, leaning on his chin, while watching and talking about what he had done when he entered the city.
"...I found a lot of blacksmiths, and the blacksmith said that as long as the empress and the government agreed, it would be easy to remove it... It didn't hurt at all..."
"... Then I took a shower, washed my hair, changed into new clothes... and the doctor came to apply medicine and let me take medicine..."
"...Living in a large yard, there are a few uncles and grandmas..."
As he said that, he moved to Huang Ju again and lowered his voice.
"And there is no restriction on entry and exit..." Looking at Huang Ju's eyes, "I thought I would be locked up, but it's not. My mother-in-law said she could go wherever she wanted, and when she went out, she said, just remember to come home... Brother, so you can go there too, you can come out at any time... waiting for that person, there is no delay at all."
Huang Ju lowered his head and ate two egg cakes, then pinched the lotus root candy and looked slowly in his hand... Unfamiliar and familiar, he stuck out his tongue and licked it carefully... It was sweet.
"No." He shook his head and said.
Xiaorong was helpless, and his eyes lit up when he thought of something.
"Also, I asked, this Sales Department... The place where the government specially took us in is called this... You can read and learn skills. You can learn whatever you want, without spending money..."
She reached out and pulled Huang Ju's sleeve.
"Brother, you can study, learn a lot, and do whatever you want in the future."
Do what you want to do, learn your own abilities, and live a good life... much worse than learning what to kill? This is their best opportunity and the best way out. This is what you need to seize.
Qi Suo's eyes lit up: "It's good to study. Like my young master, I'm so glorious to pass the imperial examination..." He smacked his lips again, "If you can't study well, it's good to learn the imperial car. If you're a coachman like me, you won't have to worry about eating and drinking..."
The sound of footsteps and the sound of speaking came as I finished speaking.
"Ziper."
Xue Qing walked over, holding a pot of wine in his hand, Qi Suo and Xiaorong both looked over, only Huang Ju lowered his head and slowly licked the lotus silk candy.
"Young Master." Qi Suo stood up and said.
Xue Qing handed him the wine: "You go back first, my classmates and I will go to see Mr. Qingxia after we finish eating."
Qi Suo took the wine and walked away happily. Xue Qing looked at Xiaorong and Huang Ju, and Xiaorong was also looking at her curiously.
"...It's very good to study. I just heard from other candidates that the gentleman's test was a great success in Huangsha Road, and the government will establish a gentleman's school." Xue Qing said kindly, "You can all study, the government will not collect your money. You are also good people and can be admitted to the imperial examination in the future."
Xiaorong said happily, "Really?"
The guy in the straw hut leaned over behind him: "Why isn't it true! This is Duke Jie Yuan."
Xiao Rong didn't know what Duke Jie Yuan was, but she knew how to make people happy. She blinked and nodded with the stars pecking at the rice.
Xue Qing looked at her and looked at Huang Ju again: "You are still young and you are at the right time to study... Study hard." After that, he turned around and walked away.
Xiaorong pinched her braid and shrugged her shoulders to look at Huang Ju.
Huang Ju had already finished eating a piece of lotus root candy carefully, and then picked up another piece of osmanthus fragrant cake. After thinking about it, he put it down and put it away. He closed the paper and put it away, but he stopped eating it.
Xiao Rong immediately understood what he meant, and he was obviously unwilling to leave. He sighed: "Brother, why can't you think it out?" He patted his knees again, "You eat this, I'll bring it to you tomorrow." After that, he stood up, "I'm leaving, so that Grandma Gu will not be anxious." He stuck out his tongue and squeezed his eyes, "I want to please her now... I can live a good life if she likes her."
Huang Ju nodded, and Xiao Rong was reluctant to jump away, and soon disappeared into the city gate under the setting sun.
Xue Qing and others also walked out of the straw shed. Xue Qing glanced at Huang Ju who was still squatting in the same place.
"Xue Qing, let's go." Liu Chunyang shouted from the side.
Xue Qing withdrew his gaze and followed him and walked slowly towards the city gate. Zhang Shuangtong and others were horses, and everyone was talking and laughing and leaving in a mess.
Huang Ju lowered his head and listened to the noisy horses' footsteps beside him, and watched the corners of his blue shirt flip past, the noise was gone, and the dusk was shrouded in the darkness.
......
......
In the glow of the sunken area of ​​the Huangsha Road was surrounded by black armored guards. With a clamor, the pit in the middle fell, and the sand, stone and wooden boards were in chaos.
One hand pulled out a wooden board from it and turned it towards the sunset to look at the cracks on it.
