The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

In this year, the new emperor changed the name of the country to Yongping, and the first year was called the first year of Yongping.

There is light snow falling outside tonight, and the bustling capital city has become quiet. There are no pedestrians, carriages and horses on the road, and the shops are closed. Hurrying home to celebrate the New Year with family.

Two solitary lamps were lit on the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the city failed to return home and were still on duty at the city gate.

Someone came over and brought good wine and meat to the soldiers guarding the city, and three or five people got together to drink and eat meat secretly, and no one was so strict at the moment.

A new person became the emperor in the imperial city. As far as the common people below are concerned, their life has not changed much because of this. Many people may not be able to see the emperor with their own eyes in their entire lives.The life of the common people is still the same. After a year of hard work, the purpose is for the family to have a good year.

The Chinese New Year is a day for family reunion. The wanderers who go out return home, and the family reunite for a meal. The lights of thousands of houses in the city are lit up, exuding endless warmth in this winter night.

After having a New Year's Eve dinner with everyone in the front hall, Li Wen came back to his courtyard, and saw the man who was already at his place as soon as he came back, and said with a smile, "I thought it would take a while for you to come over."

"I just arrived too." On such a day, Zhao Xiangyi would inevitably have a New Year's Eve dinner at home with his family.

His father and fourth uncle were both at the border and failed to return to the capital to reunite with their family. Those who stayed in the capital were all female relatives, and he was the only one among the adult men in the family who stayed in the capital.For him, this kind of day when all the people in the whole house get together makes him a little uncomfortable.

In the past years, he sometimes spent the New Year with the soldiers in the camp, and he might not come back to the city to spend the New Year with his family.It was only because the young man was in the city that this year he did not go to Daying to celebrate the New Year with the soldiers, but stayed in the General's Mansion for a while, then found an excuse to leave and came to Liuyuan Mansion.

This kind of cold weather is most suitable for two people to eat hot pot around the stove. Li Wen asked someone to set up a hot pot and vegetables in his room. The pot was filled with broth, and the boiling hot soup was gurgling. Bubbling, the whole room is filled with fragrance.

On the table are sliced ​​meat, fish balls, meatballs, mushrooms and fungus, and rare fresh vegetables.Vegetables are grown in the shed on the Zhuangzi, and the little vegetables grown in the shed are given away to others except for the food that is eaten at home.At this time, there are no fresh vegetables for sale outside. Vegetables are more expensive than meat, and you may not be able to buy them with money, so fresh vegetables are very rare at this time.

"Did I say you didn't eat at home? You came here to eat on an empty stomach." The meat slices were cooked as soon as they were boiled in the soup. Li Wen scooped them up with a spoon and put them in the bowl of the man opposite.He had eaten a lot for dinner, and his stomach was still full at the moment, so he stopped his chopsticks after a few mouthfuls. Seeing the man who had been eating non-stop since he sat down, he couldn't help asking with a smile.

"Well, there are a lot of people in the family." Zhao Xiangyi swallowed the food in his mouth, and met the smiling eyes of the young man. On the contrary, being with the young man made him feel more relaxed and comfortable than being at home.

There are so many people in the family, which makes him feel uncomfortable. All kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas are tasteless in his mouth. He hasn't eaten anything until now. At this moment, his stomach is still empty, and he is indeed hungry.

Li Wen propped his chin with one hand, looked at the man who was eating, he could imagine that there would be a lot of people in the general's mansion at this time, and asked with a smile, "Are you afraid of too many people?" He said so, The chopsticks serving and picking up the man's food did not stop.

After he was [-]% to [-]% full, Zhao Xiangyi stopped the chopsticks so that the boy didn't have to order any more food.

Li Wen was still burning wine in the side alley, Li Wen took the jug and poured a glass of wine for the two of them, "Are you full? Let's have a drink."

"

Anyway, I'm at home today, so it doesn't matter if I'm drunk, this wine is pure sorghum wine made from sorghum, and it tastes very good.

"En." Zhao Xiangyi nodded, picked up the cup, and clinked glasses with the young man.

"This cup, I respect you, thank you for being by my side." Li Wen held the cup and said seriously to the man opposite.

The man didn't know what to say about love, he raised his head, drank the wine in the glass, rolled his throat, and drank a glass of wine.Li Wen took small sips of the drink, sticking out his tongue when it was so hot, the smell of alcohol would get on his face as soon as he drank, his face was flushed, as pretty as a dyed peach blossom.

Zhao Xiangyi's gaze never left the young man's face. Seeing the young man sticking out his tongue, his eyes deepened, but he just sat there without moving.

After finishing a glass of wine, Li Wen poured another glass of wine for each of them, "This is a glass of toast to the New Year. I hope that the weather will be good this year, and the country will live in peace and prosperity."

Zhao Xiangyi had no reason not to drink this cup.

After the two of them were full, they stopped eating the food on the table, and put it here in the way, so Li Wen asked someone to remove the food, and put out a few plates of dried fruit and peanuts, all fried by himself, crispy and crispy , especially suitable for drinking.

Across a table, two people sat together, drinking wine and chatting.

At the back, the young man was flushed from drinking, he was already drunk, he went around the table to the man's side, leaned half of his body on the man's shoulder, and leaned close to the man's ear mysteriously, compared Than his own heart, he said, "I have a secret hidden here, do you want to know?"

"Huh? What's the secret?" Zhao Xiangyi put his arms around the boy's waist so that he wouldn't accidentally fall off. He followed the boy's words and asked.

The little guy still hides a little secret?Is there something he doesn't know?

"Hee hee, I won't tell you." The drunk man still thought the wine glass was too small, so he grabbed the flagon and wanted to drink from it.Zhao

Xiang Yi hurriedly coaxed out the jug that the young man was holding, wondering what secret the young man kept from telling him.

But for the drunk person at this time, he knows that the more you ask him, he may not necessarily tell you. If you don't ask him, maybe he will tell you by himself. General Zhao just caught the boy For this, he was not in a hurry, so he drank with the young man, but asked the young man to drink from a small cup.

Two people, you have a drink, I have a drink, General Zhao is not in a hurry, waiting patiently for the prey to take the bait.

"You... hiccup... just, aren't you curious about what secret I'm hiding?" The drunk boy hiccupped and glanced at the man who stopped asking him, feeling a little dissatisfied, "I am Big, big secret."

"Are secrets divided into big and small?" Zhao Xiangyi thought it was funny again. In the past, with him watching, there was a limit to the boy's drinking, and he would not be allowed to drink too much.

It's just that today, in order to get out the young man's hidden secret, he poured the young man glass after glass of wine, only giving the young man half a glass at a time, and would not fill the young man full.

"Of, of course." Seeing that no one else was curious about his big secret at all, the drunk teenager lay on the man's shoulder, sprayed the smell of alcohol on the man's face, and said mysteriously, "I , I can tell you."

"Can you tell me?" Zhao Xiangyi asked with a smile in his eyes.

"Hi..." Half of Li Wen's body fell into the arms of the man, and Zhao Xiangyi put one arm around the boy's waist, and the boy was lying on his back.

She smiled at him, and compared her fingers to her lips, "Shh... don't tell anyone else, I'll only tell you this secret

"

〇

Zhao Xiangyi looked down at the young man in his arms, knowing that the young man was quite drunk, regretted giving him so much wine just now, with a smile in his eyes, he agreed, "Okay, tell me."

"Do you know... I am not from your world."

The drunk boy looked around and saw that no one else was there, he patted his chest in fear, and told the man he trusted in front of him, "I am from a thousand years later, from the future... we , There, there are airplanes, cannons, trains, and cars..."

"A plane is a big bird that can fly in the sky."

Talking about the boy still struggling to get up, waving his wings and wanting to fly for him to see, Zhao Xiangyi hurriedly grabbed him, really wanted him to get up and fly for him, so that he wouldn't fall under the heated kang? "You tell me, I'll listen."

At this moment, Zhao Xiangyi only thought that the young man was talking nonsense when he was drunk, and he didn't take the young man's words seriously.

"...Our place is very convenient. You don't need to ride a horse when you go out...Ride a horse, it's too slow. Take a plane, go out, and you can fly from here to there in a blink of an eye...There are also cannons, boom boom boom, The enemies are all running away..."

While talking, he hiccupped, slowly closed his eyes in the man's arms, and fell asleep.

Zhao Xiangyi held his forehead with one hand and couldn't help laughing. He thought the boy would tell him something secret, but he didn't want to talk nonsense with him all night. If he had known, he wouldn't have given him so much alcohol.

The hangover soup prepared in the kitchen was brought over, he picked up the bowl and blew on the still hot soup, took a sip, and when he felt it was ready to eat, he handed the bowl to the boy's mouth and coaxed, "Hey, come here Drink a sip."

The young man obediently took a sip, then turned his face away, "Well... don't..."

taste not good……

"Hey, just drink a couple of sips, or you'll wake up tomorrow with a headache." Zhao Xiangyi coaxed for a long time, but seeing the boy refused to open his mouth, he fell asleep looking at a large bowl of sobering soup crooked in his arms Young man, he took a big gulp of hangover soup, lowered his head and blocked the boy's mouth, poured the hangover soup into the boy to drink.

"Mmm...I don't..."

"Hey baby, I have another bite..."

At first the young man struggled a few times, but then he probably knew that he couldn't drink it, so he obediently opened his mouth and swallowed it one mouthful, and looked at him with teary eyes, so pitiful.

"Okay, it's my fault." He lowered his head and kissed the boy's small nose and mouth one by one. The man coaxed his lips.

juvenile.

"I'll take you to take a bath, okay?"

Looking into the boy's eyes, the man's throat rolled, restraining the thought of wanting to tear him apart and eat him immediately, he hugged him horizontally, passed the screen and went to the back, the bathtub was already filled with water. Got hot water.

After he took off the clothes on the two of them, the two of them soaked in the hot water together.

Not long after, the boy's low moans sounded in the room, like a kitten meowing at night, scratching people's hearts

The wind outside was blowing so loudly that the voices in the house could not be heard outside.
