On the eve of the Ghost Festival, it started to rain in Fucheng.
The weather is so sultry that I can't continue reading or doing any work.
The city guards patrolled the city non-stop. The rural examination was imminent, and students from all over the city rushed to Fucheng. It is said that the prices in the inns are different every day, and they are going up.
Some people can't afford it, so they go to rent a firewood shed from someone else's house. Houses like those around Gongyuan are the places where students get the most inquiries.
I was asked this question no less than ten times just for the small courtyard that Li Hui rented.
Liaodong Fucheng's road access to Pingyang County has been opened, and anyone who is not in the surrounding villages and towns of Maoshan Town can enter the city.
Zhou Fei would send people to guard the gate of Fucheng every day, fearing that Wang Sen would have no place to live. But after waiting for several days, Wang Sen did not show up, and he and Li Hui were a little anxious.
However, neither of them could move now. In the end, Li Hui could only write a letter and send it to the car shop, and asked the team to help deliver it.
The first session of the provincial examination is scheduled for July 18th, lasting for three days. The venue will be opened at the afternoon of July 17th, and the examination papers will be officially issued at midnight.
I heard Mr. Pang say that in the past, the provincial examinations were held on the Ghost Festival on July 15th. Some people would tear up the test papers as soon as they were writing, some would cry endlessly, and some would just say "Hey..." Silly Le
……
Cheng Xue took it as a joke, but after hearing it, several children in the family did not dare to get up at night.
On the night of July 14th, Li Hui took Li Heng and Yan Yixin to burn paper at the intersection.
Yan Yixin gave money to his father, and Li Hui and Li Heng gave money to Li Yuan and his wife.
When you go to the countryside, do as the Romans do, and before the provincial examination, you will be polite to many people... No, it's not weird to have too many rituals.
After the three men burned the paper, Li Hui poked out a few willow sticks, beat the three of them carefully, and then walked home without looking back.
He doesn't believe this, but if you have children at home, you have to be careful.
"Dad, it's time to take the provincial examination, are you nervous?"
"A bit." Li Hui answered frankly.
It would be a lie to say that he is not nervous. These days of studying with Zhou Fei, he has a deep understanding of his own shortcomings. Even though the original owner has been studying since he was a child, his resources are still not good compared to those of the young masters in the capital.
Now he has recognized the reality. Ranking 11th in the college examination is his true strength. As long as he doesn't rank 51st this time, he will be a candidate and study with Mr. Pang for another year. He believes that he will be able to pass the imperial examination.
No problem.
"Uncle, do you really not plan to return to the village after passing the exam this time?"
"I will go back for a few days during the exam, and then come back. Mr. Pang is very knowledgeable. Do you want to come with me?"
"No." Yan Yixin shook his head, "Let Tiedan stay with uncle. I'll go back to study with Master Liu. It's just for the college exam. Don't bother Grandpa Pang."
He is a sensible person, and such a good opportunity must be left to someone else's own son. What's more, his uncle is not at home, so he has to stay at home.
Although the village does not bully them as much as before, there are still many unruly people. With him here, those unruly people can be more cautious and less likely to cause trouble.
Li Hui guessed what he was thinking, put his hand on his shoulder, and said:
"Good boy, both your uncle and your aunt like you. Let nature take its course, and you will definitely get good results."
Yan Yixin nodded heavily when he heard the words, said "hmm", and his eyes shone.
When the three of them went home and hung up the courtyard door, Cheng Xue had already boiled water in Li Heng's house and asked the three of them to wash themselves.
The clothes she changed didn't stay overnight. Cheng Xue sat in the yard, washed them and hung them to dry.
When he returned to the room, he saw that Li Hui was not reading. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said:
"Hey, the sun comes out from the west? Why didn't you work hard today?"
"Let me discuss something with you."
"No need to discuss, I agree."
As Cheng Xue spoke, she took out the medicine bag from the cabinet, replaced it for the two houses, and then replaced it for their house.
Whether this thing works well or not depends on whether there is a "buzzing..." sound in the room. It works repeatedly.
Li Hui waited for her to finish her work and spoke again:
"I want to stay here with Tie Dan. Mr. Pang is a rare good husband. Tie Dan will make more progress if he studies with him."
"Why not Brother Xin? How can you favor one over the other?"
Based on her understanding of him, he is the kind of person who would rather wrong himself and his family than wrong other people's children. Especially Yan Yixin.
Li Hui smiled and leaned against the wall of fire, bending his knees naturally and resting his well-jointed fingers on his knees.
"You know me quite well."
"Isn't it?"
"Yes." Li Hui nodded and did not deny, "I mentioned it to him, but the kid was worried that someone in the village would cause trouble for you if I wasn't at home, so he chose to stay. I handed the message over today." p>
"What are you talking about?"
"It's just what you want."
Every day there is no one like their elders, and all kinds of opportunities are created for the two children. Fortunately, the courtyard wall is made of red bricks. In the village, people would gossip every minute.
Thinking of this, I can’t help but remind you:
"You should be more careful when you return to the village. You are not a relative after all, and you will be easily gossiped about."
Cheng Xue got into bed with a "hmm" sound, closed her eyes and stopped making any sound.
In such an atmosphere, it is easy to say other things, but now is not the best time, not to mention that he plans to stay in Fucheng for another year.
Alas, good things come only in time!
Li Hui looked at her shrinking appearance, chuckled, shook his head, and got into bed.
There’s no way to escape anyway, so let her think she’s right for a while.
The mood of teasing suddenly arose, and he lay down obediently for a cup of tea, then turned over and threw his arm directly.
Cheng Xue was about to fall asleep, but was startled by his arm and suddenly lost all drowsiness.
After being together for nearly a year, she still doesn't know how he sleeps? But now she doesn't dare to reveal it, so she can only be held by him.
Who would have thought that her refusal to expose her would lead to him taking advantage of her, and soon the sound of his breathing could be heard in her ears. Every now and then, her ears were itchy, and small particles appeared on half of her body.
You brat, you bully people so much that you clenched your fists with hatred, but you didn’t dare to push people away.
When he successfully landed, she wouldn't bother him and kept him in the dark, and she would have the same surname as him.
Cheng Xue was extremely annoyed, while Li Hui raised his head and raised his lips in a happy mood.
There is just a layer of window paper missing. She thinks about him and is afraid that he will be distracted, so he will cooperate. But when it comes to his welfare, he is not ambiguous at all.
If they could go back one day, he would definitely go find her first.
Such an independent and independent girl should be cherished like a princess.
There is nothing I can do about it, he is just a bit chauvinistic, especially when he sees a girl like this who is hard on the outside and soft on the inside.
He slept well that night, without any dreams. On the other hand, Cheng Xue's eyes were black and blue, listless, and he even got up to make breakfast.
Fortunately, Mr. Pang took the car back to his hometown yesterday to worship his ancestors, so he didn't have to cook for them. He is the elder of his clan, and every year during the Ghost Festival, he has to offer family trees and make grand arrangements. If the provincial examination was not about to take place, Mr. Pang would still want to
He went back to join in the fun.
Tiptoeing up, she got up and dressed, then took some coins, took Li Heng and Yan Yixin out for morning exercise, and bought breakfast on the way...
