Outsiders of Mianjia Dyeing Workshop

The light rain fell down, and the air in the room was completely new. Brother Big Ear wanted to cry, but it turned out that the rain followed the slanting wind and brought the raindrops onto the table, dizzying the ink scroll just written. In the dark black, he could vaguely hear his cursing voice: "This damn rain!"

Next door to him was Yong Pei, who calmly put the clean blank test paper into the test basket and covered it, then rang the bell.

The inspector came over and asked, "What's the matter?"

"My lord, can you install a baffle for the students? The ink scrolls were all broken just after Yuxiao came in. I hope your lord will show mercy!" Yong Pei said neither humble nor overbearing!

"Wait!" The inspector went to ask Shangfeng for advice. After a cup of tea, the inspector led the servants to put up the baffles one by one, and then handed out candles. The inspector shouted: "Take the exam with peace of mind, don't make noise!"

Mianli looked at the dark room with the big candlelight, let out a sigh of relief, and continued to write and walk.When it came to the last word, Mianli sighed slightly in his heart. After this county exam, he had to have an extra teacher. Without him, it was the poems and songs for the last round. No matter whether he used them or not, the result would be No matter what, Mianli agrees.

Before the food in the test basket was used, the ink scrolls were already finished. It’s not that Mianli has any talent in poetry, but standing on the shoulders of giants, with a whole different world as the backing, little poetry, She didn't need to conceive, and she didn't need to ponder over the vocabulary repeatedly, so for Yu Mianli, the time-critical exam was really easy for others.With nothing to do, and fear of going out, the elder sister couldn't stand the fainting Mianli, so after mentioning the name of the ink scroll, she rolled it up and put it away, and fell asleep as soon as she put her hands on the table, it was drizzling outside, Compose a hypnotic ditty to help Mianli sleep.

Dangdang, Mianli was startled by the reminder to stop eating at noon, and took the lunch with a bamboo card. The catering officer was quite considerate, and specially prepared soup cakes for the candidates. There was soup and noodles, which were easy to digest. Inspection is also convenient.Mianli also picked out a piece of shredded pork in the soup cake. Don’t underestimate this shredded pork. There is one piece in a bowl, and thousands of bowls. It takes at least a few sheep. Now the country has only been established for more than 20 years. In the period when a thousand wastes are waiting to be rebuilt, meat is also very precious, but there is almost no beef, and even if there is, it will die of illness or old age due to accidents, because it is mainly used for farming.

Mianli picked noodles with shredded pork and ate them, drinking soup. The taste was average, with a slightly strong smell of mutton.After the catering officer put away the bowls and chopsticks, Mianli wiped the table with a handkerchief, carefully found a position and continued to sleep.The rain in the afternoon was a bit urgent, and the wind was much stronger. The baffles of some rooms were blown up several times by the wind, and Mianli woke up once in the middle. go to sleep.

After sleeping until I woke up naturally, the examination room was quiet, except for the sound of dripping water from the eaves, there was only the sound of scrolls turning and ink being rubbed.

Suddenly the bell rang, and the candidates on the left and right looked at the inspector, only to see that Mianli was led by the inspector to the county government and other examiners.

The magistrate stroked his beard and laughed, "It's you again!"

Mianli hurriedly bowed his waist and bowed: "My lord, it's the student."

The county magistrate nodded: "Let me have a look!

"He stretched out his hand directly to Mianli.

Mianli looked up at the yamen servant, the yamen servant over there did not look sideways, Mianli collected her mood, stepped forward a few steps, and presented her ink scroll on it.

Xuezheng left his seat and took two steps towards the county government, only to see that the handwriting on the ink scroll was more free and easy when writing. "Early spring should be sent out early..." Xuezheng read a sentence, stopped immediately, raised his eyes to look at Mianli, unexpectedly so open-minded, Xuezheng and the county government looked at each other, they nodded at each other, each took a pen, circled After a while, as the chief and deputy examiners, the two have the right to submit papers in the county examination. As long as the two feel that the candidate's answer paper is the top choice, they can circle the name with a red pen and go directly to the re-election, and finally decide the ranking. To become a student, the test paper can be directly mentioned to the Ministry of Rites, which is the first step of the ladder to the sky.

Mianli was once mentioned by her teacher, but they never felt that Mianli had such an honor.Mianli himself was also shocked, and hurriedly bowed to the end, sincerely thanking: "Student Mianli, thank you two adults for your love!"

The county government and Xuezheng looked at each other and smiled. This boy was quite interesting, Xuezheng said, "I'm probably tired from the exams these few days. I'll go back and have a good reunion with my family, and wait for the release of the results with peace of mind!"

Mianli looked at the two chief examiners excitedly, and said, "Yes, my lord, the student will leave!"

The county government waved his hand, and Mianli was sent to the door by the inspector: "Congratulations, young gentleman!"

Mianli hurriedly replied: "My lord is too serious! You don't dare to be a student!"

The inspector smiled: "Yes, yes, I will be the boss in Anding County. My surname is Gao. If you have anything to do, you can call me."

Mianli hurriedly cupped his fists and saluted: "In this way, I would like to thank Mr. Gao first, student Shi Xuan is in Mianli."

"Oh? But the young owner of the Mian family's cloth dyeing workshop?" Gao Zhu Bo asked.

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. The young master's family is the elder sister. The students don't have to do production. I'm really ashamed! The students will go to Suilin Village to farm and study soon."

"Oh! Although the family has a long history, but the young master has his own Qingyun road, maybe he will need a little help from the young master in the future." Gao Zhubo obviously started to burn the stove.

Mianli chatted with Gao Zhubo for a few more words, and then left. Seeing Gao Zhubo leave, Mianyu walked over, wiped off her nervous sweat, looked her sister up and down a few times, and then took her leave. He said calmly, "Are you exhausted? Let's go back to the inn to rest for a night, and leave for home tomorrow."

"Okay, Sister, you can arrange it!" Mianli handed over the test basket to Xiaoying, and followed Mianyu to her carriage and replied.

The two got into the carriage, and just as they were about to go back, they heard a voice outside the carriage: "Sister Mian, go slowly!"

Immediately after hearing the sound of walking quickly, Mianli looked sideways, and saw Yongpei trotting over with the little book boy.Yong Pei approached, straightened his hat and skirt, and bowed to the Mian family sisters: "Sister Mian, Senior Sister Mian, young girls are so polite!"

The sisters of the Mian family returned the gift respectively, and Mianli looked at Yongpei suspiciously.Yong Pei laughed before saying anything: "Younger sister is abrupt, I want to invite the two older sisters to Zuixiangju, do you have time?"

Mianli took a look at Mianyu, when he was away from home, the elders came first, Mianyu received Mianli's gaze and nodded with a smile: "There are some today, tomorrow my sixth sister and I will return home."

Yong Pei clapped his hands together: "That's great, Senior Sister Mian and I hit it off right away, I want to discuss knowledge and make friends, I don't know Senior Sister Mian?"

Mianli nodded to Yongpei: "It's a great honor. Before, I also thought that Sister Yongxue was very kind. It's just that it's not convenient to communicate in the examination room."

Yongpei was very happy when he heard that: "Really!" After finishing speaking, he got into the carriage, and confessed to his bookboy Xiaoling: "Xiaoling, hurry to Zuixiangju to fix the table and have good food and wine. My sister wants to have a drink."

With the previous experience, the Mian sisters are somewhat immune to Yongpei's acquaintance, and they don't feel awkward when they jump into the carriage.But Mianyu said: "You call me sister, I should be the host of this banquet. Xiaoying, you follow this little lady to book the banquet."

Xiaoying got the order and left with Xiaoling.Yong Pei cupped his hands at Mianyu: "Elder Sister said so, Younger Sister should obey, and after the results are announced, I will invite Eldest Sister and Senior Sister to come to my house for a gathering."

Mianyu naturally agreed, and she secretly wanted to help Mianli make friends, after all, in her mind, her little sister didn't have many close friends.The three talked and laughed all the way to Zuixiangju.

To say that Zuixiangju is famous for its mincemeal wine, which is mellow and charming, with several kinds of fruity aromas, suitable for both men and women, but not top-notch.It’s just that the output is limited, and the supply is in short supply every day. After listening to the introduction, Mianli naturally understands that this is hunger marketing, and this is what he earns.

The three of them sat down in the Lanhua Pavilion on the second floor, and Xiao Er began to serve four dishes of cold dishes, and then two jars of passion fruit. I tasted the scent of passion fruit, this time I owed my sister a blessing."

"Oh? Is that so? From now on, eldest sister will come here often." Yong Pei said indifferently.

Mianyu shook her head: "One time is enough, don't be too greedy, there are also limited stores, how can you be so lucky."

"Miss Mian, don't worry, my young master said yes, so you can rest assured in the future." Xiao Ling said proudly.

"Noisy, we sisters talk, where did you say, Xiao Ling backed down, there are no rules!" Yong Pei said sternly.

Mianyu waved her hands again and again: "It's serious, Xiaoling is so lively, it seems that my sister treats my servants well."

After hearing what her sister said, Mianli quickly corrected her: "Sister Yongxue is serious. I think Xiaoling is more disciplined than my Xiaoying. He is very clever to greet you outside the county government at a young age. I am very envious. ah."

Yongpei felt ashamed when he heard what Mianli said, the three of them announced their ages, Mianli was the youngest and Yongpei was in the middle, so the three talked about it, and Mianli was going to call himself the younger sister when Yongpei was there.

Yongpei held up the ginkgo wine and said to Mianli: "Come on, elder sister, younger sister, let's get together by fate, let's drink a full glass."

Mianli hurriedly raised his wine glass: "I should respect my sisters." After the three of them drank, Mianli took the wine jar from Xiaoying's hand and filled Yongpei and Mianyu with wine.

I heard Yong Pei ask: "I see that my little girl can hand in the papers early every time, it seems that she has a plan in mind, and I think there should be no problem in this scientific examination."

Mianli filled himself with wine, held it in his hand, and replied with a smile: "I dare not take it for granted, but I just finished my answer and had nothing else to do, so I handed in the ink scroll. It should be because I write faster. Sister Yong, sister Here is a toast to you, and I hope my sister will pass the exam this time."

Yong Pei raised his wine glass and clinked it with Mian Li: "My sister is humble, and I also wish her a successful life. Drink it up!" After the two finished drinking, they looked at each other and smiled.

Mianyu next to the smile was puzzled and didn't think much about it!The three of them drank until almost curfew before they dispersed.
