Farmhouse is so old

Soon it will be time for everyone to go out.

The wharf in Wenshui County is full of people coming and going.Early in the morning, there was an empty boat moored at the side of the pier, quietly waiting for someone to come.

This big boat was contracted by Tang Qing for the scholars to go to Beijing to take the exam. It was agreed that he would pay for the travel expenses, so this time Tang Qing did not hesitate to pack the whole big boat with a big wave of his hand.

A cook and others have been arranged on the ship, just to ensure that the scholars on the road live comfortably and will not delay the exam. In order to avoid seasickness and discomfort, there is also a doctor on board, which can be described as comprehensive.

In this way, the exam will be delayed, so Tang Qing can't help it. He has prepared everything he can think of for the scholars.

The pier was full of people at this time, most of them were family members who came to see the scholars off. They kept telling each other, making the pier in the morning full of people.

"Be careful on the road. Don't eat cold or raw food. If you feel uncomfortable, go to the doctor and don't delay. If you don't pass the exam, don't be discouraged. You will continue to take the exam and come back earlier."

This kind of sound surrounds the pier, making those who are about to leave worry and excited.The excitement is that I will soon leave my hometown and go to the capital to take the imperial examination. Once I pass the exam and go to the Jinluan Hall, it will be the emperor's disciples shining on the lintel.What is worrying is that the good and bad luck of this journey is uncertain, and I will be separated from my family soon. If I don't pass the exam, I will really disappoint everyone's expectations.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, take care of yourself outside."

At this time, Liu Yuancong was also talking to his family in a remote place on the pier, and he was full of reluctance everywhere he looked, but no one could say a word of retention from his mouth.

This imperial examination is not only Liu Yuancong's lofty ambition, but also the hope of the whole family in the future. Once successful, he will ascend to heaven.From then on, their family will be promoted from peasant to scholar, a great honor.

"Understood, parents, I am not young anymore and know how to take care of myself, but you should take care of yourself. Don't hide anything from me at home. Remember to write to me."

Liu Yuancong took over the burden carried by the old man Liu and his wife, bowed his head and listened carefully to their thousands of instructions, and then raised his head and looked around at his white-haired parents.

This trip will definitely take the exam with all my strength, so as not to lose the kindness of nurturing and teaching my parents have given me over the years.No matter what, the one who benefits is always him, and the parents have always paid for themselves, and it's time for them to enjoy the blessings too.

"Husband, you can go to the exam with peace of mind. I have everything at home, so don't worry. But you take good care of yourself on the way. When you arrive in Beijing, remember to write a letter to your family. No matter whether you pass the exam or not, you will report back to us so that we can feel at ease."

Zhou Qing listened quietly at the side, waiting for her parents to finish talking with Liu Yuancong before stepping forward to warn her.

She was not worried about anything else, but she was worried that Liu Yuancong would not take care of herself on the way. It would be a long way to go to the capital, and it would be inevitable that she would not have a headache if she stayed on the boat all the time.

Having been married for so long, Zhou Qing also knows Liu Yuancong completely, knowing that he knows how to measure, that he likes to bury many things in his heart, silently helping the family to share, and sometimes he likes to fight on his own when he is sick, just to avoid trouble for the family.

Zhou Qing was worried in her heart, and Liu Yuancong was also like this on the road. If there was something to take care of by herself, she didn't say it, and when she went to Beijing, she became ill for a long time.Not catching up with the imperial examination is a small matter, but if it drags the body down, it is a big matter.

Liu Yuancong held Zhou Qing's hand with an expression, and said in a soft tone: "Of course I am relieved to have you at home, but you also have to take good care of yourself. If you can't do it, don't do it. If you really can't let it go, you can go and call Big Brother." Second brother."

After Liu Yuancong finished speaking, he looked at his parents again, and begged: "Dad and mother, please help me take care of my love when I am gone. She has only been married for a short time. If there is anything wrong, you should be more tolerant." .”

After Liu Yuancong finished speaking, he wanted to say something else, but Zhou Qing pulled his sleeves and told him to stop talking.Those who have husbands let their parents-in-law let their daughter-in-laws let their daughters-in-law go, they will go beyond it.

"You boy, it's our family's blessing to have a loving girl come to our house. It's too late to pet her. If anyone dares to bully her, I'll see if I won't be the first to deal with her." Mrs. Liu is the most satisfied when Zhou Qing married into the Liu family. However, this daughter-in-law can not only make her look good, but also be able to work hard, and she can't find any faults.

Seeing her mother-in-law saying such words without even thinking about it, Zhou Qing blushed with shame, and was both surprised and ashamed in her heart.I didn't expect that in the eyes of my mother-in-law, my position was so high, and after thinking about it, I felt a little ashamed, as if I didn't do much for my parents-in-law.

"No matter what, peace is the most important thing in a family. You also know that your mother, your two brothers, and I are straight-tempered and won't get angry overnight. We talk about everything face to face, and sometimes the tone is harsh. It's a bit off, but we don't mean any malice, you understand that." Old man Liu said after scanning Liu Yuancong and Zhou Qing back and forth with his sharp eyes.

Before my son leaves, let's talk more, so as not to cause misunderstandings in the future, it's good for everyone.

Zhou Qing's blushing face became even more blushing, she quickly shook her head, and said in a low voice: "Father, mother, my wife understands." The Liu family has worked so hard to confess Liu Yuancong, and those who are their own daughters-in-law should take care of their husbands. .Fortunately, the eldest brother and the second brother, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law are not unreasonable people. She lives very comfortably in Liu's house, sometimes even more comfortable than in her own home.

"You are here, I have been looking for you for a long time." Tang Qing squeezed out from the crowd, sweating profusely, and his clothes were also crumpled. After seeing Liu Yuancong and his family, he instantly revealed a Come with an easy smile.

Liu Yuancong's family was very surprised. Before leaving, they didn't know why Tang Qing wanted to find his family, but they all began to say happily: "Yes, there are too many people outside, but this alley is relatively quiet, and it is also close to the pier. Say something."

"Third Uncle, why are you here?" Zhou Qing was slightly surprised, not knowing what Tang Qing was looking for, if it was urgent, he had to be done quickly, Tang Qing couldn't wait.

Liu Yuancong recalled quickly in his mind, wondering if there was anything unfinished in the pharmaceutical factory that made Tang Qing look for him so anxiously.

Tang Qing wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve without sticking to one pattern, panted heavily, and fanned his face with his hands to cool down the heat on his body.

"You don't need to be too surprised. I'm just here to deliver something. There's nothing else important. Don't worry too much." Tang Qing said with a sigh of relief after the temperature on his body cooled down. It seemed that Liu Yuancong's family was anxious.

After Tang Qing finished speaking, he took out a large package from behind. Liu Yuancong took it and weighed it. It seemed that there were a lot of things inside. He looked at Tang Qing with puzzled eyes, and wanted to ask what was inside. Do you want to send it to people in the capital, or just for yourself.

"Oh, the package contains some food and two sets of newly made clothes and shoes prepared for you by Qing girl's parents, so that you can be more convenient on the road. They are a little busy at home today, so Chun Geng can't spare time to look at it. You, I hope you don't blame them."

"In addition, there are some food we prepared. This place is not close to Shangjing, and I can't take care of it on the way. I made some of your favorite food, and it's good to talk about it."

Tang Qing looked at Liu Yuancong's bewildered eyes, and immediately explained in annoyance.Those who were pushed back and forth in the crowd just now forgot what they wanted to say. They just wanted to give things to Liu Yuancong, but they completely forgot the purpose of coming.

"Thank you for your troubles, please, third uncle, please thank my father-in-law and mother-in-law for me. I should be a son-in-law to see my father-in-law and mother-in-law, so there is no reason for them to come and see me." Liu Yuancong listened to Tang Qing's explanation After that, I suddenly felt that the heavy burden just now was much lighter.

The package is full of his family's care for him, his heart is filled with something, his whole body feels as if he is going to float, and he doesn't care about the weight of the package.

"Thank you third uncle." Zhou Qing also followed Liu Yuancong to thank Tang Qing.

Tang Qing waved his hand, telling Zhou Qing not to salute, but it was still a step too late, so he had no choice but to say, "Why are you so polite?"

Zhou Qing got up, blinked her eyes, and said with a smile on her face: "It is because I am a family that I am so polite to him. I am not so polite to outsiders."

Tang Qing shook his head again and smiled. This girl is more lively than before when she married someone. It can be seen that she has not suffered any grievances in Liu Yuancong's house. Otherwise, she would dare to joke with herself. It seems that the marriage she chose by herself is really good. Picked the right person.

"We also thank the Sir for our son." Seeing that they had finished speaking, Old Man Liu and his wife came up to ask Tang Qing a lot.It's hard for Tang Qing to remember their son. Although his son went to the scientific examination, even if he passed the examination, his status was not as high as Lord Tang Qing's.

Tang Qing didn't dare to accept the gifts from the old people, so he quickly helped them up: "As a love girl, I will call you father-in-law, mother-in-law, father-in-law, mother-in-law, father-in-law, mother-in-law are all relatives. share."

The old man Liu and his wife looked at each other. Without Tang Qing's personal promise, they would not dare to cheat on their relatives. What if they annoyed them? Now Tang Qing said that they were a little embarrassed, and neither of them knew what to do. what to do.

The speed at which the two old men looked at each other showed the tacit understanding that they had accumulated over the years to the fullest in a moment. In an instant, they could read what the other person wanted to express from their eyes and react quickly.

"Okay, then let's ask you to call you uncle in the freshman year. Since you are all relatives, you can use the place at home in the future. Just tell me, old man, I have nothing else. I have enough strength. Even if I can't, I still have three My son can always help." Old man Liu assured Tang Qing with a smack of his chest.

Tang Qing smiled slightly. Although the old man Liu's words were rough, it warmed people's hearts. Having such an in-law is still a good in-law. It doesn't seem to be a bit like a dog skin plaster that can't be shaken off no matter how hard it is. Don't want to give at all.

Tang Qingyou had a chat with Liu's family, and just when the boat was about to start, he remembered something, took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Liu Yuancong, saying, "This is a letter to the Marquis of Shangjing. , when you arrive in Shangjing, hand over this letter to Young Master, and you can find him if you encounter any trouble in Shangjing from now on."
