Traveling through ancient times, my husband and I raised myself

"Yunlou" sounds like an ordinary restaurant, but it is actually the largest brothel in Qingshan County. The girls inside, Yanhuan, are fat and thin, each with their own beauty, attracting the old men and young men in the city to linger.

As night falls, it is the busiest time of Yunlou, the crowd at the door is bustling, and the scantily clad girls standing on both sides smile and wave handkerchiefs to the passing men, and the men who are not determined may walk away with a lewd smile He went in, still holding Meijiao Niang in his arms.

It didn't matter that the moon was in the sky, the lights in the building that were as bright as day were gradually going out, and it didn't matter what was going on in each room, or it was over.I saw a figure of a man slowly walking out of the back door, staggering forward along the alley, finally came to a small yard, the man knocked on the door loudly, and then the surrounding houses were all The lights came on, and there were dissatisfied curses.

"Open the door! Quickly open the door!!" Seeing that no one came to open the door for him, the man shouted in a rough voice.

After a while, the door "squeaked" and was opened from the inside, and a petite woman came out cursing and struggling to help the man go in. When the woman closed the door and looked back, the man had fallen asleep on the ground. died.

"It's really a hard life. I think I, Li Guihua, was also a girl in the village, but why did I marry you, such a useless person? I am still a child, but I have been a child for more than ten years. Now you can't do anything but drink Whoring and whoring?!" The woman, that is, Li Guihua, turned out to be Wang's third daughter-in-law.

Wiping away her tears, Li Guihua resigned herself to helping Lin Youcai into the house, threw him on the bed, she didn't care about it, rolled up the quilt, and fell asleep on the other side of the bed.

February [-]th of this year is the new county examination, presided over by the county magistrate of Qingshan County. There are five consecutive exams. If you pass the exam, you can go to Yangshan Group to take the April government exam. After passing these two exams, you can become a child student Yes, if you pass the following college examination, you will be what people call a scholar.

I heard from Lin Cheng that most of the county examinations and government examinations are about poetry and essays. Tang Ze knows his level of writing essays, so he has been studying hard lately. Drowsy, but still insisted not to go to bed early, Tang Ze had no choice but to pick him up and go to rest together.

The day before the exam, Tang Ze took Lin Xiaojian to pack up and moved to the county. Tang Ze asked Lin Cheng to help him rent a quiet small courtyard, not far from Lin's house, only an alley away. Just to take care of it.

"Here we are, Xiaoxiao." After the mule cart stopped, Tang Ze helped Lin Xiao down, and the two of them opened the door and walked in. There was only one entrance in the yard, and there were three rooms, the main room in the middle, the bedroom on the left, and the bedroom on the right. In the kitchen, Lin Xiao went to tidy up the inner room first, Tang Ze brought Toffee in, and then closed the door.

After the usual lunch break, there was a sudden knock on the courtyard door. Tang Ze thought it was Lin Cheng, but when he opened the door, he found a familiar carriage parked outside. Looking at Xiao An who was smiling respectfully at him in front of the carriage, Tang Ze thought it was Lin Cheng. Ze suddenly knew the identity of the people in the carriage.

"Ayu hasn't come down yet, do you want me to invite you in person?" Tang Ze put his arms around his chest, as if he didn't intend to go to the carriage.

"Ah Ze is still the same!" As he remembered the words, a slender and fair hand raised the curtain, revealing Li Yu's handsome face.

"The yard is small. Xiao An can drive the carriage to the alley and park it. You don't need to look at it anymore. No one here dares to steal the carriage." Tang Ze asked Li Yu to go in sideways, and said to Xiao An who was still standing in front of the carriage. .

Xiao An looked at his young master and saw Li Yu nodding his head, so he nodded to Tang Ze, sat on the shaft of the carriage, and patted the tall and healthy brown horse. With the sound of hooves, the carriage gradually disappeared into the alley.

"Speaking of which, Aze and I haven't seen each other for two months. Aze seems to have a new plan?" The two sat face to face at the table in the main room. On the table was a set of celadon tea set, which was made by Lin Xiaogang. .

"You must have heard some news. You came to the door after inquiring about it." Tang Ze didn't intend to hide Li Yu and Zhang Wenchen's preparation for the imperial examination. Anyway, based on their news channels, he would know as soon as he entered the examination room. , but Li Yu came earlier than he expected.

"Hehe~ Aze really understands me." Li Yu let out a deep laugh from his throat, and then returned to a gentle look.

"A few years ago, I told Aze that I was going to develop in the capital. Aze seemed to have said that he prefers a peaceful life?"

"Why, did Ah Yu come here today to ask questions?" Tang Ze was not afraid of Li Yu's yin and yang, he took a sip of tea calmly, and said in an unhurried manner.

"I don't really like the complicated environment of the capital, so I just want to obtain a Juren status, enough to protect the people I care about. I'm different from you, you have your family responsibility, you also have your family protection, and I only have me and Xiaoxiao."

Seeing that Li Yu's expression was a little off, Tang Ze continued.

"You came to me today to ask me clearly, which means that you still regard me as a friend, Tang Ze, that's why I was willing to let you in and explain it to you. Why don't you think about my words carefully, I think There is no conflict of interest between us."

"Ah Ze really understands me..." Li Yu smiled wryly, drank the tea in his cup at once, and then stood up.

"I understand what Aze means. Since you are going to the examination room tomorrow, I will not bother you with your reading. Let me go!" Li Yu cupped his fists at Tang Ze, called Xiao An who was waiting in the yard, and walked out.

"Aze, is Mr. Li angry?" Lin Xiao, who heard the movement clearly in the back room, hurried out and only saw Li Yu's hurried back. He asked worriedly.

"No, Xiao Xiao doesn't have to worry, Xiao An will definitely come back later." Tang Ze smiled mysteriously.

"Ah? Why?" Lin Xiao opened his eyes wide and looked confused.

"Heh~ Xiao Xiao, don't think too complicated. Every time A Yu comes to our house without a gift, Xiao An must have just forgotten to bring the gift." Tang Ze pinched Lin Xiao's recently rounded face , with a tut in my heart, it feels good.

Lin Xiao let out a silly oh, and sure enough, after a while, he saw Xiao An quickly carrying some things into the yard.

"Mr. Tang, I'm really sorry. Xiaoan forgot to bring the presents in the car. I was scolded by the young master just now. Mr. Tang wants the adults to ignore the villains!" Xiaoan respectfully put a stack of gifts on the On the table, before he had time to wipe off his sweat, he hurriedly apologized.

"It's okay, it's just a trivial matter, thank you young master for me. Xiao Xiao, take some tea that A Yu likes and let Xiao An take it back."

"Okay, Xiao An, wait a moment." Lin Xiao hurried into the back room.

"Don't be in a hurry, the young master has already finished drinking the tea leaves he brought from you last time, and he's still losing his temper for the past few days, now it's all right, maybe Xiao An can get some rewards thanks to Mr. Tang's blessing Woolen cloth."

"Hehe~ Then I did a good deed." Tang Ze smiled, but he was calculating how many bags of tea leaves were left in his space. He was originally a tea lover, so he collected so many good teas In the space, but only use without production, no amount of resources will be used up one day, and the space that was originally full is now half empty.

After seeing Xiao An off, Tang Ze went to bolt the door.

"Let's put these presents away, I'll go and read a book."

"Okay, Aze can read in peace, I'll be outside. I'll call you after dinner." Xiao Lin nodded obediently.

When Tang Ze entered the room, Lin Xiao carefully opened the things on the table. In addition to some food and supplies, Lin Xiao also found a small box. When he opened it, he found two strings of crystal clear blue crystal bracelets, carved into oval shapes. Small water droplets glisten in the sunlight.

"It's so beautiful!" Lin Xiao exclaimed.When Tang Ze cooperated with Li Yu in the crystal business, he did not hide it from Lin Xiao, so Lin Xiao naturally knew the sensation caused by the crystal in Qingshan County. As a result, Li Yu sent two bracelets made of pure crystal at once. Lin Xiao now I believe he is really not angry.

Early the next morning, carrying the small box that Lin Xiao had packed after inquiring about the rules of the examination room, the two of them were about to go out when they found Xiao An walking over in a carriage.

"Mr. Tang, Mr. Lin, my young master ordered me to take the two of you to the examination room. Don't worry, Mr. Tang. Afterwards, I will definitely send Mr. Lin back safely."

"Then thank Ayu for me. Xiao Xiao, get in the carriage." Tang Ze put the box in first, then directly hugged Lin Xiao up, and finally jumped into the carriage by himself.

"Both young masters are seated, drive!" Xiao An flicked the reins.

The county examination was held in the Gongyuan near the county government. There was a very empty field in front of the gate. There were bronze lions sitting on the left and right of the gate, which made people look solemn and rigorous.

Because the carriage came early, the place where the carriage stopped was still very far ahead, and there were only a dozen people standing and waiting in front.

"Aze, don't be nervous, Xiaoxiao believes that you will pass the exam!"

Tang Ze looked at Little Rabbit Lin, who was nestled there nervously, all the fur on his body stood up, with amused expression, and stretched out his hands to rub Lin Xiaotu's hair.

"Okay, I'm not nervous. It's only five days and four nights. Xiaoxiao will wait for me obediently at home. If you're bored, go to Lin Cheng's house to chat with your aunt. How about I ask Xiaoan to bring Aran to accompany you?"

"No need, Ah Ran... I can read, don't worry, Ah Ze, you have to eat and sleep on time inside, don't..."

Tang Ze quietly listened to Lin Xiao's instructions, with a gentle expression on his face, but the warmth in his eyes became stronger and stronger.

When the sun came up, the gate of the Gongyuan finally opened slowly, and the people waiting in the square for a while began to commotion.

Tang Ze carried the suitcase and got out of the carriage, gave orders to Xiao An, and waved to Lin Xiao who stuck his head out of the window and looked at him worriedly, Tang Ze turned and walked towards the bustling crowd.
