The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

Li Shanshan glared at his son and said, "Don't even think about pouring ecstasy soup on me and your mother, tell me about yourself."

Seeing her husband being so aggressive towards her son, Mother Li glared at her husband.

"Tell me to the study, and explain this clearly." There is a lady here, so he can't even stare at his son!Li Shanshan got up and walked to the study with his hands behind his back.Li Wen gave his mother a smile, and followed his father to the study, "Don't worry, mother, I will talk to my father, nothing will happen."

The door of the study was not closed, but Mother Li did not follow in.

The father and son talked for a long time in the study, and when the father and son came out of the study, although Li Shanshan's complexion was not good, he did not lose his temper.

When Li Wen came out, he saw Zhao Xiangyi standing outside the door. The two looked at each other. Zhao Xiangyi walked up to the boy and stood side by side with him.Zhao Xiangyi's meaning is very clear, whether it is good or bad, he has to accompany the boy to face it.

This time, without his son telling him, Li Shanshan already knew about his son's relationship with this man.

"Father." Just now in the study, Li Wen confessed to his father his relationship with Zhao Xiangyi.Li Shanshan only felt a headache when he saw his son, "Don't talk to me now, let me go and be quiet." After speaking, he left with one hand on his forehead.

Mother Li was still standing in the yard waiting, and when she saw her husband and son coming out together, she naturally noticed the man standing beside her son.The last time her son came back from the capital, it was this general who escorted her son back. She really didn't expect her son to have such a relationship with this general.

Meeting her son's eyes, Li's mother pointed to the departing father and said, "I'll go see your father."

Seeing his mother leaving with his father, Li Wen turned to look at the man beside him, gave him a smile, and said, "Don't worry, it's fine, give them some time."

"In front of me, don't force yourself if you don't want to smile." Zhao Xiangyi reached out and touched the corner of the boy's mouth, and he could see the reluctance in the boy's smile.Li Wen put away the smile on his face, leaned his head on the man's shoulder, and sighed slightly.

For the next two days, the atmosphere between the father and son was a bit weird, neither father nor son said a word.

Li Wen wanted to talk to his father, but his father didn't seem very willing to talk to him.

Mother Li saw the father and son like this, noticed the loneliness on his son's face, and comforted him, "Your father just can't figure it out for a while, don't worry, there is a mother here."

"Thank you, Aunt." Li Wen smiled at his Aunt.

"Silly boy, why are you thanking me? No matter what, you will always be A Niang's child." Mother Li reached out and touched her son's nose. When she first found out about it, she couldn't accept it.

Thinking of her son leaving home since he was a child, suffering so much outside, and never worrying her as a mother, she actually feels a little guilty about this son in her heart.What kind of temperament her son is, she, a mother, naturally knows.Instead of letting the husband and son quarrel so that the father can't be a father and the son can't be a son, she, as a mother, naturally wants to help the father and son reconcile this conflict.

Mother Li chased after her husband.

Seeing his mother leaving with his father, Li Haopeng asked his brother, "Brother, are you making my father angry?" Why is my father's face so dark these days?Doesn't his father love his brother the most? How could he treat his brother badly?

"Eat your food obediently, don't ask questions." Li Wen pushed the brat away, and he was in no mood to eat anymore.

Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Li Wen stood up and walked outside.

"The last time you came, I didn't have a chance to take you around. Let's go, I'll take you around." Li Wen looked at the man following him, and he led the man around the crowded village. In the place, the small road detoured out of the village.

It's rare to come back, and I don't know when the next time I come back. Taking advantage of this time, he took the man for a walk around the place where he grew up and had a look.

The whole Lijia Village has undergone great changes. There are all green brick and tile houses in the village, and the road has been built from the village to the town.

However, the surrounding fields have not changed much. There are still fields around, and waterways have been built in the fields. The water is drawn from the mountains and can be used to irrigate the fields.Wells were built around the wells, and the wells were covered with a heavy cover, which was locked to prevent ignorant children from lifting the cover and accidentally falling down.

Li Wen took him to the place where he herded cattle when he was a child. There was a big rock here.

When I was young, I thought this rock was very big, and it took a lot of effort to climb it, but now I can climb it easily.The two sat on the rock, looking at the large blue field, Li Wen said with a smile, "Who would have thought that Li Liuyuan would let cattle go when he was young, right?"

"Well, I didn't expect it." Zhao Xiangyi also smiled a little, and turned to look at the young man beside him.

The eyes of the two met, Li Wen couldn't help but smile, turned his face away, and looked at the sky above his head.

The two lay on the big rock and watched the sun slowly set in the west. When it was almost dark, the two came back from outside together.

As soon as Li Wen went back, he saw his father sitting in the yard, and he called out "Daddy."

"Your father thought you were gone..." Seeing her son coming back, Mother Li whispered something in his son's ear.Li Wen just found out that during the time he was away, his father searched around the house, but he didn't see anyone, so he thought he had run away from home and returned to the capital, and he was worried about him at the moment.

"Father, I'm sorry, I just went out for a walk, and I didn't say anything to you, which made you worry." Li Wen said to his father

apologize.

The father and son did not have an overnight enmity, and the anger of having a son in their hearts had already slowly disappeared.Now that his son gave him a step, Li Shanshan came down. Although the tone of his speech was still not very good, he was willing to talk to his son, "I have to tell my family when I go out in the future."

"Alright dad." A smile appeared on Li Wen's face.

The father and son sat down to talk again, and this time they opened their mouths. Although Li Shanshan was still a little hard to accept that his son had found a man, it was not as resistant and unacceptable as it was at the beginning.

At night, the father and son were sitting in the yard drinking, and Zhao Xiangyi sat beside him.

Li Valley gradually accepted the fact that he had an extra son-in-law. Later, he found that this man was actually very good to his son. It was also a good thing that his son was alone outside and had someone to take care of him. Thinking about it this way, Li Valley Instead, my heart was relieved.

After staying at home for half a month, Li Wen was about to return to the capital, and there were still many things waiting for him to deal with in the capital.

After saying goodbye to their families, they embarked on the road back to the capital.

Three years later-

The Central University and the First Military Academy were built one after another, and the emperor personally attended the opening ceremonies of the two schools.

The two schools are separated by half the capital city, facing each other far away, one civil and one military, the two schools recruit students from all over the country, and anyone who meets the conditions can enroll, regardless of their background, whether they are the children of high-ranking officials or ordinary people, they are all treated equally, as long as you Good enough to get into both schools.

The school has mid-year exams and end-of-year exams every year. Those with excellent grades can directly enter the relevant departments of the imperial court without passing the scientific exam.

At the same time, the scientific examination has not been abolished, but in the content of the examination, the weight of the Four Books and Five Classics has been weakened, and some things such as arithmetic and laws have been added.

In the past three years, the entire capital has undergone great changes. The main street has been doubled in width, and the entire urban area has been re-planned. The inner city and the outer city have been separated, and the outer city has expanded more than twice as wide. .

As early as two years ago, Dacheng and several neighboring countries signed the "Mutual Trade" agreement, allowing foreigners to come to Dacheng to do business, and Dacheng merchants can also go to other countries to do business.Merchants from neighboring countries all come to Dacheng to do business. Walking in the streets of the capital, you can see many foreigners coming and going.

Behind these changes is the hard work and hard work of a large group of people.

"I'm going out for a while, what's the matter, I'll talk about it when I come back." Li Wen threw the thing in his hand, and it was blown out like a gust of wind, and he ran away.The people behind opened their mouths without saying a word, and saw their adults running away, "My lord, my lord..."

Don't run so fast!

As soon as he ran out of the door, Li Wen saw a man waiting outside with a horse. He made two steps in three steps, stepped on the steps and jumped down.Zhao Xiangyi was holding a white horse in his hand, followed by a black horse.

"Let's go, hurry up." Li Wen ran to the man's side, he was still out of breath, and if the people behind him caught up with him, he wouldn't even try to run away.

"Don't worry, take your time." Zhao Xiangyi helped the young man onto the horse, and rode behind the young man.

Two horses, one black and one white, left the city and headed towards the pier.

There are many ships moored at the pier, and many men coming and going are carrying goods.

Standing on the pier, he saw a ship approaching from a distance, and Li Wen saw a figure standing at the bow of the ship. Even though the two hadn't seen each other for several years, he still had a glance at them from such a long distance. You can recognize the person standing there, wave your hands desperately, and shout, "Zhishu, Zhishu, Lu Zhishu...here, here...I'm here..."

Standing at the bow of the boat, Lu Zhishu saw the people waving to him on the pier. The big boat got closer, and he could see the people waving to him clearly. The young man smiled, waved to Li Wen, and shouted, "Ah Wen !"

When the big ship docked, the boatman on board set up planks so that the people on board could get off from above.

Standing below, Li Wen laughed loudly when he saw the young man who got off the boat, and rushed towards him.Before Lu Zhishu could stand on his feet, he was bumped by Li Wen who rushed over, and the two of them almost fell into the water behind.

"careful!"

"careful!"

The two hands stretched out at the same time grabbed both of them...
