Imperial Exam Daily

When Yang Ye came back, he not only brought back the medicine, but also a set of clothes for Axi.

Most of the boy's body was wet, and his clothes were sticking to his back. The already thin person looked even thinner. He was afraid that if someone covered himself with wet clothes for several hours, he would be lying on the bed tomorrow.

Ah Xi was decocting medicine in the kitchen, hesitating for a long time, listening to Wu Qiuhe's coughing, finally bit the bullet and said to Yang Ye: "I, can I take care of my aunt, and go back after her fever subsides?"

Yang Ye took this as a matter of course: "What time is it when you go back, I brought you all the clothes."

A Xi gave a pause, and the spoon of the decoction fell to the ground with a thud. His lips were slightly parted, and his almond eyes were full of panic.

Seeing the young man's reaction, Yang Ye's brain tensed up. They have not been married for seven days, and there is an unwritten custom in the village. The couple cannot return to their natal home for the night after they get married. Pleased, was driven back.

But he didn't mean that, and Ah Xi misunderstood him when he spoke too quickly: "I mean it's too late for my aunt's fever to subside, and it's hard to go when it rains heavily at night. You take care of her all night, and then go back tomorrow."

Ah Xi's eyebrows were flattened: "Then, what is that dress?"

"The clothes on your body are wet, do you want to wear them overnight?"

Ah Xi twisted the corner of his wet clothes, lowered his head and said softly: "Thank you."

The drooping eyelashes trembled slightly, and they were particularly agile on the fair face. Yang Ye felt that Axi was very cute, and the hand hanging by his side moved involuntarily, and his fingers were about to touch the boy's side. When it was on his face, he suddenly realized.

The moment he withdrew his hand, a trace of disappointment flashed across Ah Xi's eyes at the same time.

"I'm going back."

Yang Ye and Axi's aunt simply greeted each other and left. It was already late when they arrived home. It was raining and covered with dark clouds, and it was getting dark earlier than usual.

Many jujubes in the yard were knocked down by the heavy rain, Yang Ye picked up one and tasted it, the jujubes were not yet fully ripe, the taste was not very good, the fallen jujubes were just a pity.

A Xi is not there, the small earthen house is quiet, only the sound of rain outside can be heard, Yang Ye lived alone in the past, and the house he lived in was much bigger than this small earthen house, he was used to living alone in the quiet, just now When I came here, I was really not used to being under the roof with another person. Fortunately, Axi has a gentle and quiet temperament, even if he speaks softly, he is not too uncomfortable.

He was used to seeing that thin figure with his head lowered coming in and out of the room, but suddenly he was not in front of him, he was strange for a moment, but it was only for a moment.

In the past few days, Axi had prepared meals for him to eat, and tonight he needed to cook by himself. People who live alone are generally not too bad at cooking, and he is no exception.

However, after he turned around in the kitchen twice, when he opened the rice tank, the brown rice in it had already bottomed out. It is hard for a smart woman to cook without rice. A pot of soup could be stewed, which was enough for him and Axi to fight teeth, but it was a pity that it went to Jia Huichun's hands.

When he went to get the medicine earlier, he paid another [-] Chinese medicines, not only the rice jar, but also the money in his pocket.

The field is not busy now, and he is going to find an errand in the city. If this continues, not only will he be despised by diseases, but he will also be unable to afford food.

In the end, he cooked a bowl of porridge with wild vegetables to fool dinner.

The next day, the rain stopped.

Yang Ye got up early, and was about to tidy up before going to the city to see if he could find an errand. He opened the door, and before dawn, he saw a figure walking in quietly from the yard.

"Coming back so early?"

Ah Xi knocked on the door of the yard, obviously he didn't expect Yang Ye to get up so early, he didn't cook for others last night, he thought that he would come back earlier this morning, and then he could eat when he got up. Woke up so early.

"I'm coming back to cook."

Yang Ye entered the kitchen together with him: "How is Auntie?"

"The fever is gone, it's already better, much better." After a pause, Axi felt that it was necessary to tell Yang Ye: "Auntie is going to remarry a hunter from the neighboring village."

"When?"

"Probably, just next month." After Yang Ye left yesterday, Orion came to see the haggard Wu Qiuhe, and felt very unbearable. Even though the wedding date was set, she wanted to take her over to take care of her earlier. .

Yang Ye nodded. He saw that Wu Qiuhe was still very young, and it was really not easy for a lonely woman to live. After remarrying, she had a man to rely on, so the situation like sickness and no one to take care of her would not happen.

"Before my aunt gets married, you should go for a walk if you have time." The original body's memory knows little about Axi, but he can see that Axi and his aunt have a deep relationship. When Wu Qiuhe remarries in the future, let alone The neighboring village is far away from theirs. After all, they are remarried, and it will be inconvenient to move around.

Ah Xi felt that he was very reasonable, so he quickly complied.

After dinner, Yang Ye went to the city.

Generally, the villages where the markets are concentrated are small towns, but Zao Village is in a good location, relatively close to the county seat, which is large and prosperous, and is many times better than a small town.

This principle is the same as some rural areas are close to small urban areas, and some are directly close to provincial capitals.

Although it is close, there is still half an hour's journey from Zaocun to the county seat, that is, an hour. If you take a bullock cart, it will save a little time, but the cow also walks slowly, not much faster, mainly because it is not so bad. Feet, as for the carriage, it will be very fast.

It's just that people in the village are willing to spend one or two pennies to ride an ox cart, and they dare not think about the luxury of a carriage.

Yang Ye went to the county early, and there were no ox carts, so even if he had, he didn't plan to ride. First, he was in a hurry at home, and moreover, it was to exercise his body. He didn't know if he could find an errand to do when he went to the city. I didn't find anything after I came back, but I spent travel expenses instead.

After the day was completely bright, a framed ox cart passed by him, and there were five or six people on the cart behind the ox. Yang Ye glanced at them, and they were all from the village, and they looked familiar.

The villagers on the cart were chatting and laughing, surrounded by a young man sitting beside him, except for the man who glanced at Yang Ye, everyone acted as if they hadn't seen Yang Ye, and the bullock cart moved forward slowly.

The reaction of the villagers is not surprising. In the past, when the villagers greeted Yuanshen, Yuanshen responded with a sour head raised up, always feeling that he was superior to others. At first, the villagers gave Yuanshen a little face when they were upset, but since this year, the new villagers After giving birth to a child, everyone lost their enthusiasm for Yuan.

This new Tongsheng happened to be the young man on the bullock cart whom the villagers talked to with enthusiasm. His name was Zhang Jie, and he was about the same age as Yang Ye.

The original body was admitted as a Tongsheng at the age of 16, and it has been two years since now. Although Zhang Jie was admitted two years later than the original body, Zhang Jie is a talkative person, and after being admitted as a Tongsheng, he is also polite to the villagers There is no airs, and Zhang's family is in a good family. His father works in the city's construction team. He often runs outside and earns a lot of money. In Zaocun, his family is considered to be well off. , the Zhang family is the icing on the cake.

The comparison between the two boys made the shortcomings of the original body stand out even more. The villagers often compared the two, and they would be warm to Zhang Yang and cold to Yang Ye.

At that time, the original body was depressed, not only because of Mei Xiaozhi, but in fact, a large part of it was because of Zhang Jie.

Yang Ye didn't care much about these past events, nor was he disturbed by the way the villagers looked at him. After all, it wasn't something he did. He didn't feel angry or guilty. Right now, livelihood is the most important thing for him. The most important thing is that I can't fill my stomach, so why do I think about these twists and turns so energetically, so I stepped up and went to the city.

"Hey, what do you think Yang Ye is doing in the city?" After the ox cart drove far away, a woman teased and said, "I haven't seen anyone outside the yard of Renmei's house giving a gift to Mei Xiao after getting married." Zhi recited love poems."

Speaking of this, everyone burst into laughter.

Zhang Ying was a little surprised, and asked, "Yang Ye read a love poem to Mei Xiaozhi?"

"Hey, Zhang Tongsheng didn't know these things because he was studying hard at home. Previously, Yang Ye had to go to the Mei family's courtyard to read poems every now and then. The Mei family didn't want to see him at all, so he spent money to surround the courtyard wall. Save Yang Ye from stretching his neck and looking into Mei Xiaozhi's window."

With that said, the villagers laughed again.

Zhang Ying smiled in agreement with the villagers, but a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

When Yang Ye arrived in Wenyang City, there were three or four large sheds outside the city gate, with some cows, horses and mules tied to them, and they were guarded by special people. At the gate of the city, there were already many villagers from nearby villages carrying melons, fruits and vegetables to the city. , although it is still early, but it is already a lively style.

The avenues in the city are wide, shops and restaurants are opening one after another, hawkers are shouting from far to near, and the business in the county is full of style.

Yang Ye went in from the main street, looking for someone to ask where there was a notice of job recruitment, when he saw Zhang Ying, who was riding in a bullock cart, walking towards him, and greeted him politely: "Brother Yang."

"Brother Zhang." Yang Ye replied politely.

"Brother Yang has also entered the city. What a coincidence. I wonder if Brother Yang is in a hurry to enter the city this time? If you have spare time, can Xiaosheng invite Brother Yang to drink a cup of tea in a teahouse? Brother Yang is rich in knowledge and has experience. With the experience of the hospital examination, I have long wanted to ask Brother Yang for advice, but unfortunately I never had the opportunity before."

Yang Ye shot Zhang Jie a narrow look. He didn't know whether this person really wanted to ask for advice, or if he had other things to do, but he still asked the truth: "I'm afraid I can't do it today, I have to look for the recruitment notice."

"Recruitment notice?" Zhang Jie couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes, he didn't expect to hear that Yang Ye would come to find an errand one day at all, he turned his face back: "I just want to go there, why don't I take Brother Yang there. "

There are ready-made people to guide the way, so it is easy to ask the way, Yang Ye doesn't care what he means: "Then it will be troublesome."

The recruitment notice was on the side of a crossroad, and it was not difficult to find. There were many notices posted on a huge wall. This notice was not the same as the notice wall of the yamen, and the notices on it were all about public affairs.

Yang Ye looked at a few newly posted notices. They were old for a long time, and he reckoned that he had already recruited enough people. It was a waste of time to go there, but the new notices were all about recruiting porters, or odd jobs in restaurants. There are also those who recruit cooks, and they have been looking for the accountant or copying notices for a long time.

In fact, errands such as copying and writing are usually casual workers, and there are few masters who post notices. Moreover, most of these jobs are done through introductions, and Ren Academy directly takes over the jobs.

"Recently there have been fewer job seekers, and the posted notices may not be suitable for Brother Yang. The master where I work is peaceful and very polite to scholars. I would like to recommend Brother Yang to go there, but it is a pity that there is no one for the master. "

Zhang Yingshi sighed.

Yang Ye's expression was calm. It's hard to find a good job in the past and present: "No problem."

Zhang Ying was quite bored with Yang Ye's reaction.

Before he was admitted to Tongsheng, he found a job in the county. He wanted to study in an academy in the county. Although his family's conditions were not bad, and the tuition for the academy could be paid, it would be difficult if he had more burdens. , the family's conditions are also able to show off in the village.

There are many princes and masters in the academy in the county seat, and they have to go to the teahouse to drink tea and listen to music from time to time. If he doesn't look for errands to earn some money, fill his pockets, support his waist, and buy two good-looking outfits, he can't be looked down upon .

He glanced at Yang Ye, who was seriously looking at the notice. He was wearing a washed and whitish long gown, which must have been worn for two years. It was considered good in the village, but it would look poor in the city.

Just like this, she still had the nerve to read love poems to Mei Xiaozhi, just because she didn't come out and see the world and was not ashamed to panic.

He was full of disgust in his heart, but he had a smile on his face: "Brother Yang, I heard that there is a place to recruit Mr. Accountant, the salary is good, but the requirements are a bit too much, do you want to try your luck? "
