Husband and wife are hot on the kang

The relaxation effect is good, anyway, the two of them woke up late the next day!

Yu Liangji wanted to smile and run to wake them up, but was stopped by Shi Hongda. Yesterday, he made people do free work all afternoon, and he still wanted to disturb people's sleep?

This guy is so ignorant of self-consciousness.

"Don't go, be honest!" Shi Hongda hugged Yu Liangji, not letting him speak.

Yu Liangji smirked, played tricks in his arms, and tickled him, but Shi Hongda didn't say a word!

"Aren't you itchy?" Yu Liangji wondered.

"I haven't had itchy flesh since I was a child, and you tickle me specially, so I can't laugh at all." Shi Hongda told Yu Liangji frankly, tickling him is useless!

It was only by surprise that he made him smile. He didn't think it was ridiculous to do it on purpose!

Yu Liangji was discouraged, so he had to change his position in his arms, let out a graceful breath, closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

Woke up with Lin Jie and Hong Zetao.

I just started reading seriously today, but I only read for a whole morning. In the afternoon, I asked Hong Zetao to talk to Shi Hongda, Yu Liangji to paint with Lin Jie, or Lin Jie to recite poems, because candidates need to write poems at the last moment Three poems, the title may be unlimited or specified.

Yu Liangji is not good at reciting poems, but only some ready-made ones, or the ones that are sour. He is good at painting, and he learned for a while when he was young.

After a few days like this, it was time to rush for the exam.

Everyone got up early in the morning, but they walked on tiptoes, and breakfast was made to avoid mistakes. Boiled eggs, boiled millet porridge, steamed buns with noodles, and shredded pickles mixed with sesame oil and green onions Coriander, in order not to make a mistake, I didn’t even dare to put chili oil. What if I eat too much and my stomach hurts?Inside is shredded white cabbage.

Sitting at the dining table, Yu Liangji saw that Hong Zetao had already put pickles into his mouth twice, so he couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Hong, aren't you thirsty?"

"Ah?" Hong Zetao didn't seem to come back to his senses.

"You've already eaten two mouthfuls of pickles!" Shi Hongda pointed to the pickles plate.

Hong Zetao blushed: "I didn't even pay attention to this incident."

"Also, Mr. Lin, you've already eaten half a steamed bun, don't you panic?" Shi Hongda also watched the excitement.

Lin Jie looked down and saw that he ate the steamed bun dryly and didn't even take a sip of the porridge!

"Okay, okay, don't be nervous." Yu Liangji took an egg for the two of them: "Eat well."

Well, eat well.

In the end, Shi Hongda found out that Yu Liangji had picked up pickles twice, and both of them were shredded cabbage!

Is this raising yourself as a bunny?

After a messy breakfast, he got into the car, and Yu Liangji sent the two of them to the Gongyuan.

The Gongyuan in Fucheng is much larger than the ones in the county, and even the streets in front of the gate are open in four directions, not double. Just this, it was almost flooded by traffic.

Parking is not allowed in front of the gate, nor is it allowed to stop on the road twenty miles nearby. Where there are four rows of carriages on both sides of the road, you can park in the parking space, but you are not allowed to stop on the road, for fear of blocking the road.

There is also a special sidewalk for candidates to enter, but idlers are not allowed to stay on the road. There are ten rows of people inside the gate of the Gongyuan, and students who come to take the exam before the examination. The Gongyuan is in the west, occupying a large area. Basically, the front of the two Gongyuan has been cleared.

Yu Liangji sent Lin Jie to the Wengong Academy, and Shi Hongda sent Hong Zetao to the Wugong Academy.

Liu Wenxi drove the carriage, pulled Xiao Juren back, and met Shi Hongda who was riding a horse at a roundabout.

"Let's go back!" Yu Liangji drooped his head, he had no choice but to be nervous, but he didn't show it, for fear of adding pressure to the two older candidates.

Back home, the surrounding fields were quiet, there was no way, today's exam, the east and west districts were under martial law, especially in the north district, there was a guard post every ten steps, Yu Liangji felt that this was a bit too much trouble.

"However, look." Shi Hongda gave Yu Liangji a copy of this morning's newspaper.

There is a headline above: Northern Xinjiang has launched a war warning, and there have been many conflicts at the border.

Yu Liangji's eyes widened: "What are you talking about here?"

"En." Shi Hongda nodded.

"But me, I didn't feel anything?" Yu Liangji was holding the newspaper, looking dumbfounded.

"This is Fucheng, the heart of the entire Northeast. Unless soldiers come to the city, there will be no chaos. It's just that things like the imperial examination are under martial law." Shi Hongda poured him a cup of tea and put it on the table. to him.

Yu Liangji looked down at the newspaper.

According to the newspaper, it was the snowstorm last year that killed many cattle and sheep on the foreigners' side, but at the beginning the imperial court gave relief, a horse was exchanged for fifty catties of grain, a cow was thirty catties, and a sheep was only five catties. Jin, there is no way, Han people rarely eat mutton.

And it’s not that there are no sheep in the pass. As for cattle, the grasslands are all beef cattle, and more cattle are used in the pass. Horses are worth a little money, but the pass has its own horse farm, and the most horses bought are optimized breeds.

The foreigners are nomads, no matter which tribe they are, without cattle and sheep, they can only wait to die.

But if the food is not exchanged, the cattle and sheep will starve to death, and the people will die even more!

They had to buy food, but after eating the food, the cattle and sheep were gone, only the horses, tents and scimitars remained. The imperial court gave them the benefit of buying on credit, but they had to pay back. There is no free lunch in the world.

But what about these people?

Regardless of whether it is good or bad, or they are born with the gene of getting something for nothing, they are not willing to be granted a loan from the court to survive this difficult period. Instead, they picked up a scimitar and rode a horse. They came to fight grass !

Dacaogu is a common word in the Liao Dynasty.

At the beginning of the Liao Dynasty, when the army went out for an expedition, "the men and horses were not given food and grass", and "the horses were dispatched four times a day to raid the grass and valleys to plunder and plunder them for supply."

This method of looting food, grass and property from the people without special logistical support, relying on soldiers to raise their own supplies, is called "grass hunting" by the Liao people.

Since then, the foreigners on the prairie have habitually come to the frontier to hunt grass and valleys, but after the birth of the emperor, this kind of activity cost them a heavy price, and this kind of loss has stopped 100 years ago activity.

However, after 100 years, it actually reappeared!

However, fortunately, border defense has always been the top priority of the court, even if there is no war for a hundred years, it has not made everyone relax.

As early as the snowstorm, the alert was sounded, and in the following year, it was even more serious. Sure enough, in the early autumn, people outside the Great Wall couldn't help it.

The Great Wall has been built with cement since the beginning of the Holy Father. It is as solid as a rock, more than ten meters high, and it winds like a long dragon. This kind of Great Wall built on all the frontiers is not just one, it is a double-layer defense. Foreigners are people. You can't climb up with people on top of each other!

There is no wood on the grassland!

These people started to do it in early autumn, but they were unsuccessful. As the weather got colder, they became more impatient, and their desire to cross the Great Wall became more urgent, and frequent harassment of border crossings became their daily routine.

And the newspaper said that they have already started killing horses and eating them. This is the rhythm of killing people!

Without horses, do they have to walk back to the depths of the grassland on two legs?

And I heard that after mid-September, there will be snow and flowers in the grassland!

This year the imperial court did not open the mutual market. It opened for at least half a year last year, and it was closed for the second half of the year. This year is even worse!

Fortunately, there were two layers of checkpoints, and the residents at the border did not feel any trouble, otherwise they would have been messed up long ago.

War, no matter how far the world has evolved, is an unpleasant term.

"No wonder!" Yu Liangji put down the newspaper, and he said, why Fucheng is so prosperous, the co-author is also because there is no mutual market, and all their things are put here for trading.

If you do mutual market and border trade, you may earn more.

"Anyway, this year is not going to be easy." Shi Hongda didn't like the foreigners, everyone was an enemy, you are pitiful, but there must be something to hate for a pitiful person!

The imperial court has done its utmost to be benevolent and righteous. As the imperial court of the suzerain country, it has given the grassland people not only help, but also preferential policies for loans. You must know that in such a big country, you can't take care of yourself. It's up to you to be able to take care of you There was a snow disaster there.

Last year, there was too much ice and snow in their Northeast, so the price of coal has increased. The imperial court tried to calm down the price, but it also cost a lot of money, okay?

"I hope they can figure it out as soon as possible." Yu Liangji didn't understand. Are they all stupid?I never thought about it, what if the robbery fails?

The loan granted by the imperial court will definitely be allocated in place, but the grass valley will take a lot of risk!

"Also, I heard that the south is also a little cold this year..." Shi Hongda and Yu Liangji flipped through the newspapers. The newspapers in Fucheng arrived a day earlier than those in the county. Because of the cold weather last year, this year's harvest will be transported to the granary in Beijing one step later.

And the military rations here are a bit unsustainable. The higher-ups said that the imperial court intends to let the frontier fortress collect food on the spot.

The two ate casually at noon, and everyone was worried about the two in the examination room. The Ba family and his son were the only ones who wanted to eat. The two of them made roast lamb by themselves!

Unfortunately, Yu Liangji has no appetite, and Shi Hongda is not in the mood to eat.

Until the evening, Yu Liangji fell asleep in Shi Hongda's arms worriedly. It took three days to take the exam for Juren and nine days for Jinshi.

Gongshi only needs one day!

The three days passed extremely long, and Yu Liangji was a little hopeless. When he was waiting to pick up people, he and Shi Hongda got up early in the morning. After washing and eating, they hurriedly asked people to prepare everything. First pour the ginseng soup, the ginseng is bought at the pharmacy, the most expensive wild ginseng.

Then drag it to take a bath, be sure to be quick, then brush your teeth and wash, dry your hair quickly, feed a little liquid food during the period, put some water, put a large size on it, and wait until the hair is almost dry, you can stuff it into the bed and go to sleep !

Like all the people who picked up the candidates, the two ran over in a carriage like the wind, and then picked up the person according to the number plate, and took them home. They didn't invite a doctor, and all the medical workers in the city were invited away!

They are not ranked.

According to the above procedures, they walked all over again, and finally stuffed the two of them into the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

Shi Hongda saw that people were so tired, he thought that at that time, Yu Juren had just finished the exam and slept in the inn, and he hadn't had the soup and other things, so he was about to leave for his brother's funeral...

No wonder, the doctors said that he was so exhausted that he couldn't be allowed to stay up all night, so he tried his best to have sex in the first half of the night, and ended it early, rarely indulged, let alone dragged it until the middle of the night, so that people would not sleep.

I feel sorry for him!

In fact, I feel sorry for the wrong person at all. At that time, Yu Juren hadn't worn it yet!

The two of them slept for a day and a night, especially Hong Zetao, who was so loud!

By the time I thought about coming over, it was already the next morning. When the two of them came back, they were in a daze and couldn't figure it out. Now that they woke up, they felt that their bodies were full of strength, and then they ran to drain the water...

The breakfast preparations were very light. Yu Liangji and Shi Hongda kept telling them about the news in the newspaper, how the war in the frontier would be like, what to do with taxes and food, etc., never mentioning the exam results, whether they could get in the first place. Wait, even the family members treat them as usual.
