Imperial Exam Daily

Yang Ye went to fetch a basin of hot water again and came back, and put it on the board under the bed. The boy seemed to have turned into a ball of cotton, motionless, only a pair of eyes were exposed, half-drooped, with eyelashes trembling. Like a big mistake.

"Stupid, don't put your feet in the footbath."

Yang Ye held his feet, which were obviously a circle smaller than his own, and gently soaked them in the water. He remembered how lively these feet were in the sparkling stream when he was fishing by the river in the past.

His feet flinched, and he asked, "But is the water hot?"

A Xi quickly shook his head: "I, I can wash it myself."

"I'm afraid you are so stupid that you can't even wash your feet."

A Xi poked his head another inch into the quilt, Yang Ye smiled lightly, and stopped teasing him.

After washing and drying the young boy's feet, he stuffed him on the bed. He kicked the door to pieces. Now the wind is blowing into the inner room, and the thunder outside is getting louder. The door has to be repaired before it rains. Otherwise, the rain will splash in, and it will be really cold at night.

Ah Xi heard the sound of ping-pong-pong in the main room, he got up from the bed, knelt on the edge of the bed and looked out a few times, seeing Yang Ye repairing the door with a hammer, he quickly shrank into the bed, with his hands behind his back, trying to The bellyband was untied.

Feeling ashamed and flustered in his heart, the rope not only could not be untied, but also became more and more messy. After tossing for a while, he heard the sound outside stopped, and quickly retracted into the quilt again.

Yang Ye went back to the room and saw the boy lying with his back facing him: "Sleep now?"

Axi didn't answer.

There was so much commotion outside, Yang Ye couldn't believe that people were already fast asleep. The kid was thin-skinned, and he must have been ashamed and angry when he was hit on the spot. He smiled with his mouth pursed, took off his coat, and was about to lie down.

Seeing this, Ah Xi gently called Yang Ye, but the words came to his lips but couldn't come out.

Yang Ye stopped and looked at the person under the quilt: "What's wrong?"

"I, I can't untie the rope, I want, I want to change into obscene clothes and sleep."

The faint sound of mosquitoes floated by, Yang Ye's back stiffened, and then he smiled helplessly: "It's okay, I'll explain it to you."

Ah Xi slowly got up from the bed, his back was clean and fair, his black hair was scattered, and a piece of red rope around his waist was not loose or tight. , Unravel the part of the neck that is not as wide as Xiaokuan, all the way down is the one around the waist.

The boy's body is hot, and now the heat of his skin is stronger than before. Yang Ye slid his fingertips over, and the delicate and smooth skin transmitted the heat to his body through his fingertips, making his whole body on fire.

He stabilized his mind and untied the two ropes, lifted off his bellyband, and pushed Ah Xi onto the bed with his backhand.

Trapped in the quilt, Axi raised his eyes and looked at Yang Ye innocently, his eyes met each other, and he was silent one after another, but the sound of breathing in the air was very heavy.

Yang Ye's voice was hoarse: "It's hard for me to control myself when you're like this."

Ah Xi staggered his eyes, blocked his sight with drooping eyelids, and said softly: "I, we are already married, no, there is no need to control it."

"no!"

Yang Ye became more sober, he got up from the boy.

Ah Xi opened his eyes wide: "Why, why not, does it mean that Ah Ye doesn't like my little brother?"

"No."

Ah Xi's eyes turned red, it was all like this, Yang Ye still rejected him, besides being ashamed, he also felt that he was useless, he hid under the quilt naked, sobbing and saying: "You, what do you want? So it’s fine, anyway, since you have no children, it’s not my fault.”

Where did Yang Ye see him cry, so he quickly coaxed: "I have no other intentions, can we consummate the house after the provincial examination?"

Ah Xi was silent and did not speak. He had heard people say before that if a scholar marries a wife early, he is afraid that he will not be able to support himself. There are parents and elders at home. In order to let his wife and husband not delay the man's study, he distracts the man's heart. Even if they got married, they forced them to sleep separately.

Originally, he thought that Yang's family would have no in-laws, so life would be easier and there would be some comfort, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt even more uncomfortable. Could it be that Yang Ye thought he was delaying him.

"You, do you mean to wait until after the Zhongju?"

Yang Ye rubbed the boy's hair: "That's what I planned."

Ah Xi gritted his teeth. He knew that it was definitely inappropriate to say these things, but Yang Ye wanted to consummate the marriage with him after he had fame and fortune. There are a lot of people in 20 years who can't pass the exam in their lifetime. It's not that he doesn't believe in Yang Ye, and there are so many people who are thinking about it recently. They just want to send their little brother and girl to Yang's house. If Yang Ye is really interested, they There is no child to maintain the relationship between them, so I can't be kicked out at that time.

Besides, my aunt has a baby too, and he got married before her. He looked back and forth at the people around him who had children, and said that he was not in a hurry when he was young, but he was still in a hurry in his heart.

Fearing that Yang Ye would get angry, he tried his best to lower his voice and asked, "Yes, what if you don't win?"

Yang Ye didn't care about Axi's unlucky words, he just said: "Even if you don't win, you will be about the same age at that time."

"What's wrong with me?" Brother Ying already has a baby at this age, and now the baby is older than Xiao Xiang, and now he is running all over the place.

Yang Ye said earnestly: "Your age can be calculated clearly with the fingers of both hands. If you consummate the marriage too early, it will be bad for your health."

Ah Xi was skeptical, although she was shy, she was still curious: "Yeah, who's health is bad for?"

Yang Ye spoke righteously: "It's not good for you or me."

Axi was silent, he didn't know if Yang Ye said this to perfunctory him, but in the end he didn't dare to make fun of his body, he was fine with it, but it was a matter between two people, he dared not be stubborn.

"I'm not lying to you." Yang Ye went to bed and hugged him: "Did someone say anything to you recently?"

Axi pushed Yang Ye, and said angrily: "Did you say it, you, don't you know? There are so many girls and brothers around, don't, don't tell me you don't know."

The back road was blocked, Yang Ye really couldn't quibble, he said: "Then I didn't respond to anyone, Axi, I only have you in my heart. Do you still remember the night when we got married? What did I say to you?"

Axi cocked his head: "I, I will never forget it, every sentence is worse than one sentence."

Yang Ye opened his mouth, really looking for shame, he was lucky to see the child get through the horns once, and now he saw it again.

He patiently flattered his temper and said: "I did say it harshly, but it was also the truth. At the beginning I said that it was difficult for me to like someone, and maybe I wouldn't like someone in ten or twenty years. I also thought that I would be lonely until I grow old all my life, but yes You changed me, your thoughtfulness, tenderness and consideration made me unable to avoid it, made me break my promise, there is no second person in this world who can make me like this.”

Axi looked at him, his fingers curled up involuntarily, and his face turned red again. Yang Ye rarely expressed his heart by saying such blunt words, sweet words are not unacceptable to any little brother, let alone Yang Ye still sincerely, such a thing How could words not move him.

His mouth was stiff, but his tone was gentle, with a hint of coquettishness in it: "You, you scholars are the best at talking, I, I won't tell you, sleep, sleep."

Yang Ye looked at the boy wrapped in a quilt and buried his head in it, and he fished him out: "Sleep naked without wearing obscene clothes?"

"Then, bring it to me, it's in the closet."

Yang Ye went to the closet to find the obscene clothes, the boy had already sat up, the quilt covered his body: "Shall I put it on for you?"

"No, don't! I can do it myself."

Ah Xi stretched out his hand to snatch the obscene clothes, covered the clothes with the quilt, twisted and slid the quilt down, and before he could pull it, Yang Ye grabbed his wrist.

"What a kid, I can't even wear clothes well." This didn't make him bear to let Ah Xi conceive in October, and then take care of the child between them.

He patiently put the clothes on for the young man. The neckline was wide open when the belt was not fastened. He could see a small mole on the protruding collarbone of the young man, which was very conspicuous on his fair skin. He touched it , Axi slapped his hands away, covering his collar.

"Look, what are you looking at?"

Yang Ye didn't answer. He got up and went to turn off the lights. When he got back to the bed, he hugged Axi and kissed him on his collarbone. Son, I just found out today that he can kick the door open with one kick, and he can't be at his mercy.

I have kissed him too, Axi was really sleepy after tossing around in the middle of the night, nestled in Yang Ye's arms as usual, there was thunder at night, now with Yang Ye by his side, he can sleep soundly.

Yang Ye hugged the man and didn't make a sound, but within a quarter of an hour he heard the boy's even breathing, but he couldn't close his eyes. When he closed his eyes, A Xi's skin looked like fat in a red bellyband. Irritated, but unable to disturb the people around her, she stayed so frozen all night, and her eyes turned black and blue the next day.

Axi put the breakfast on the table, looked at Yang Ye's sleepy face, and felt distressed: "The thunder was not very loud last night, why, why did it make you unable to sleep? Is it me, me suppressing it?" hold your hand?"

Yang Ye showed a far-fetched smile: "It's okay, I'm a light sleeper, sometimes I can't fall asleep when thunder strikes at night."

Hearing this, Ah Xi felt ashamed. They had been together for so long. Although he knew that Yang Ye was a light sleeper, he didn't know that he couldn't sleep often during thunderstorm nights. If it wasn't for the day when he entered school, he would let Yang Ye rest at home. up.

He counted the pens, inks, papers and inkstones used for school several times, put them one by one in the basket and handed them to Yang Ye, and said softly: "Then I, I will make you some delicious food at noon, you should come back early."

Yang Ye responded, took the basket and went to the county town first, Axi had to go to the county town with Yang Cheng and the others to open a shop.

The county school started classes at Sishi, and it was already late when Yang Ye arrived at the county seat. He hurried to the gate of the county school, worried that it would be impolite to go so late for class on the first day, so he looked at a soft sedan chair. Slowly come to the county school.

When Yang Ye saw the sedan chair parked at the gate of the county school, he knew who was doing it without seeing anyone. Who else could have such a big battle except young master Li Cheng.

He didn't bother to watch the excitement anymore, and after less than a quarter of an hour of class, he hurried to the county school.

"Brother Yang, wait for me!"

Yang Ye turned around, and it really was Li Cheng, but he didn't expect to call him: "Brother Li knows me?"

"I just met yesterday, how could I not recognize you?"

The two talked side by side while rushing in, Li Cheng's servant caught up and said: "My lord, you forgot your school supplies."

Li Cheng took the basket: "My things are all in place."

The servant smiled dryly: "It's all set, it's all set, you can go to class at ease, young master."

Yang Ye glanced at the beautifully woven basket, this young man is really exquisite.

The students in the county school are not only the scholars of this college examination, but also some old students who were scholars in previous years. Because they have not passed the provincial examination, they still stay in the county school to study.

Because there are many old students, these new students are not in the same classroom as the old students. The two of them went there late, and they didn't know where their classrooms were. Looking inside, the old students in the first two classrooms were really old. Yang Ye saw that there were already seven or eight of them with gray hair, and they were flipping through the books to read.

Yang Ye walked in lightly, Li Cheng shook his folding fan, and the students in the classroom noticed the movement and looked outside, so he covered his face with the folding fan.

"Brother Yang, this way!"

When he was worried that he didn't know where the classroom was, Yang Ye saw Wen Han standing at the furthest classroom window and waving at him.

The two hurried over, all the scholars from the Hairpin Flower Banquet had arrived yesterday, so it was a good time to miss the two of them.

Wen Han was sitting by the window. After Yang Ye came in, he quickly helped him take the basket, and said in a low voice, "I see that the seat is random, the front is closer to the master, and those who come early will choose the seat at the front." Oh, I'm late too, and only the last row is left."

"The last row is also pretty good, and the classrooms on the left and right are not too big." Few people are short-sighted these days.

There are four seats in a row, three next to each other, and there is one seat left.

Yang Ye sat down cross-legged, polished the ink, and arranged the school tools. After tidying up, he saw Li Cheng was still wiping the table.

After a while, the master came in. He was a dignified man with a beard. Yang Ye estimated that he was sixty years old. He scanned the classroom with his serious eyes. .

First, it was a warning, and then it was a lecture to explain the rules of class. After talking for about two quarters of an hour, the master stopped talking, and Li Cheng finally tidied up his position.

Then the master began to teach.

The township examination required examinations of the Four Books and Five Classics, Stereotyped Essay, Confucianism, History, Current Affairs and Policy Theory, etc., and the Master naturally taught these, first reading them in unison, and then reading them by themselves.

Yang Ye didn't sleep all night last night, and now he is listening to the scholars reading in a dragging voice, which is undoubtedly a hypnotic weapon. He propped his head and fell asleep, and Wen Han pulled his sleeve while reading and breathing: " Brother Yang, what's wrong with you?"

He raised his head, and Wen Han saw the blackness around his eyes, which was very similar to the days before the court exam, when he fought with the lamp at night, his eyes were like this, he said in the tone of someone who has experienced it: "Brother Yang, don't work hard at night." If you endure it for too long, the gain outweighs the gain, which delays your study the next day."

Yang Ye waved his hand, his burden is not something ordinary people can enjoy: "One day is not the other, I hope you don't have a day like mine."

Wen Han was at a loss as to what Yang Ye was talking about, seeing his master descending with the ruler, he quickly shut up.

Yang Ye pressed his temples to cheer himself up. When the master walked to the second row, he saw a bronze mirror sitting beside him in the book. The appearance of a natural beauty that is hard to give up.

The corner of his mouth twitched. This person was a bit too narcissistic, but he kindly reminded him.

During the whole morning class, the teacher hardly gave people a break. Some scholars wanted to go to the toilet, but they were all studying hard in the classroom, and they were embarrassed to interrupt everyone to go to the toilet.

There was only half an hour for lunch and rest. Some students brought their own food, some sent food to the county school early, paid some money for the women in the county school to cook, and some lived in the county and went back to eat by themselves.

Wen Han brought the food himself, Li Cheng didn't even move his butt after school, and the servants in the house brought the hot food.

The servant spread out a large food box with meat and soup, and there were yuba from Fengxiang Tower in between. Seeing him looking at his food, Li Cheng said, "Brother Yang wants to go back to eat? It's not like me. Thank you for your kindness today."

Yang Ye laughed. In class, he kicked his desk to remind him that his master was coming.

"No need, the food is already prepared at home. If Brother Li has the heart, why not tell me where you bought that bronze mirror." Yang Ye had glimpsed the exquisite workmanship of the mirror earlier, and it was quite clear.

Li Cheng took out his own mirror and handed it to him: "If brother Yang likes it, just take it, I have plenty of it at home."

"How can you accept Brother Li's things for no reason?"

But Li Cheng forced the mirror to him: "You can take it. It just so happens that I want to eat the hawthorn cake of Fuxizhai. The servants at home are lazy, and they are sold out every now and then. If Brother Yang can bring it for me One piece would be fine."

Yang Ye accepted the mirror: "Deal."

The county school is in the east of the city, and Fuxizhai is in the west of the city. Yang Ye hurried back and walked for a quarter of an hour. He had just entered Yun Street before taking two steps, when he saw a head protruding from outside Fuxizhai from a distance. Explore.

He hurried forward, and people came to welcome him: "The meal, the food is ready, just, I'll wait for you."

Yang Ye took out the bronze mirror from his body and put it in Axi's hand, leading him back as if no one else was there.

"Where did you get the little, little mirror?"

Ah Xi looked back and forth, his eyes sparkling.

Yang Ye said: "It was given to me by a student in the same class. I think it's quite delicate. I think you'll like it."

A Xi moved his eyes, and he couldn't put it down: "The students in the county school are all men, how, how can there be men using these things?"

Yang Ye raised his eyebrows, no one can know the hobbies of this rich man.

After entering the small courtyard for a quick lunch, Yang Ye packed two servings of haw jelly, and hurried to the county school. At this moment, most of the students in the classroom had eaten lunch, some were taking a nap, and some were taking a nap. I was copying the article assigned by Master Xu in the morning.

Yang Ye gave the pastries to Li Cheng, and took another one to Wen Han. Wen Han, who was reading a book, was overwhelmed by the flattery. He didn't eat the pastries, so he carefully put them in the basket, not afraid of Yang Ye's jokes, and said that he would wait to bring them home. Give it to my mother.

Now that he has become a small Sanyuan, Yuanyan Mountain has also gained face. The village chief raised funds from the villagers to send a lot of things to his home, and the ox cart master took him to the county town for free. After that, he can still receive money and food distributed by the court in the next month. All of a sudden, he got better, his back became stronger, and he talked more with the scholars. At noon, some old scholars came to him to talk about knowledge, and he was able to talk to others openly.

The days passed by unsteadily for a month, Yang Ye went to and from school every day, ran back to eat at noon, rushed back to the village at night, and rushed back in the morning, it was even more inconvenient as winter slowly entered , the weather is cold, but the county school does not change the time to and from school. The students in the county town are fine, but the students living in the village have suffered a lot. When it rains occasionally, their shoes and socks are wet when they come. of.

After all, the conditions of the Yang family are good. Although they live in the village, they are not in such a mess. Even so, when the family had dinner, Yang Cheng still proposed to buy a house in the county town. Now the business in the city is doing well. Who doesn't have a place to stay in the county town, and their family is even more different, and there is a janitor living there.

Yang Ye found it inconvenient to study, so he naturally agreed with his elder brother's idea. The so-called water flows to low places and people go to high places. Sooner or later, they have to settle in the county town, so the two brothers took Fuxizhai for almost two years. The income has been liquidated, and now I have saved 200 taels of silver.

This money must be a lot of money in the village, and the villagers can't earn it if they work hard for a lifetime. Even some small shops in the county town can't save so much money after five or six years of hard work.

Yang Ye said: "If this money is enough to buy a small house with a yard in the county, it's just that our two families will have children in the future, so it will inevitably be a bit cramped."

"That's true." Now that the two brothers have a close relationship, they can't live in two places when they arrive in the county. They must consider buying a bigger house in the long run. Besides, they are too small to do business, and they really can't do it well.

It was really difficult for a while.

"Let's do this, save up more money, and buy a house when it's right." At this time, the purchases are almost all paid off in one lump sum, and there is no mortgage repayment. Back then, Fuxizhai was able to buy , It all depends on the friendship with Pang Zhanzhong: "The family expenses should also be reduced a little bit. After all, I want to buy a house, so let's save money for now."

Yang Cheng agrees that after the family earns money, life can't be better. One meal of meat every two days, and it's still good meat. If you exchange chicken, duck, fish and mutton, the dishes on the dinner table will become more and more abundant. His wine It has also changed from five cents per catty to twelve cents per catty. It is really time to reduce some expenses.

The house is temporarily unavailable, but Yang Ye still plans to get a scooter that belongs to his family. Bullock carts and horse-drawn carts are the choices. Horse-drawn carts are fast, but they can't hold many things, and they can't hold a few people. The disadvantage is just the opposite. After weighing it up, I chose to buy cattle, which is cheaper after all.

It is always inconvenient to ride in other people's ox carts on weekdays, and it is not good to bother Mr. Zhou and others. With your own ox cart, it is convenient to go up and down the county at any time, and you can deliver as many cakes as you want.

This is the next best thing to solve the matter of the upper and lower county towns, but I still have to run for lunch.

When Axi learned about the family affairs, she also felt sorry for Yang Ye who was running around at noon. Taking advantage of Yang Ye's time to go to school, he dug out his private money and went to the street to pick out a big and beautiful food box. These days, he has seen women or young ladies deliver food to the county school, and he looks very envious, so he wants to deliver food to Yang Ye, so that he can go and see what the county school is. In this way, secondly, Yang Ye, who is also saved, runs like this every day.

The food box was bought, and his family encouraged him to do so. Before going out, he tidied himself up carefully. The county school is not as good as other places. There are many scholars, and the spirit of comparison is also prevalent. If it weren’t for this , Zhang Glaze would not take detours back then.

He had to pay attention everywhere, originally Yang Ye was eye-catching now, if he made some more jokes, or made him lose face, wouldn't those people with ulterior motives like this be even more rampant.

After tidying up, he seized the time and carefully carried the basket to the county school.

The author has something to say: I am really sorry for the unstable updates these days. My tonsils are inflamed and I have a viral cold. I have no strength to write very slowly.

Everyone, stop urging updates with negative points, and cry for you if you lose points!
