The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

Dacheng Kingdom

Qingping Town, Lijia Village

It has been more than [-] years since Taizu established Dacheng Kingdom. After Taizu passed away, Emperor Zhaozong succeeded to the throne.After Emperor Zhaozong came to the throne, he stopped fighting everywhere, vigorously built Dacheng, committed to reform, lowered taxes, opened imperial examinations, recruited talents, ruled the world, and made the people recuperate. Therefore, the people were able to live a stable life. Live and work in peace and contentment on one side of the land.

Lijia Village is a small village located in the south of Shandong Province. There are less than a hundred households in the village.Most people in the village have the surname Li, and a few people with other surnames settled here later.

After the spring in March, crops were planted in the field, and after a spring rain, the crops in the world grew green and full of vitality.There are busy figures in the field, the old cow is eating grass with his head down, and a little baby is lying on the stone, with his legs crossed and a piece of dogtail grass dangling in his mouth.

Li Wen lay on the stone and looked at the blue sky and white clouds above his head. It was clean and clear, and the air contained the unique fragrance of youth mixed with soil.

The world is so big, he is just a tiny one among them.

After five years, it was enough for him to accept the fact that he came to ancient times.In his previous life, he stumbled and fell into a valley, and when he woke up, he became a baby crying for food. He used his body to experience what it means to "a misstep will cause eternal hatred".

However, he didn't have any relatives in his previous life. In a plane crash, both his parents died, and even their bones were never found.For a long time, Li Wen lived in the pain of losing his parents.After his parents' plane crashed, the insurance company paid him a large sum of money, which was enough to put him through college.

When he finally got out of the shadow of losing his parents, he just graduated from university a year later.He went on a trip alone with a backpack on his back. He wanted to commemorate his growth and bid farewell to the past, but he didn't expect him to bid farewell to that world during his graduation trip.

Then, he came to this world.

Li Wen searched in his mind, and it seems that the country of Dacheng did not exist in history, so Li Wen didn't know where he fell.But since he came, he was at ease, and he also accepted the fact that he came to another world.

In this life, he has parents and relatives. His mother suffered from a difficult childbirth when she gave birth to him, and she suffered from a serious illness. Up to now, she has only given birth to his one son, and she has never conceived another child.His father was a taciturn, honest and honest man.His father also had a brother and two married sisters. The two married aunts went to other villages, and their lives were not very good. They would come back three or two times a year.

The rich do not return to their hometown, and the poor do not leave their relatives. This is a very realistic thing in any era.

Their family lives with the uncle's family, the brothers have not separated, and his grandma lives together.After his brother-in-law married his wife, the couple had worked hard to make a man for many years, and they wanted to have a son, but they gave birth to a house full of daughters, but failed to give birth to a son.

So at present, he is still the only seedling among the three generations of their family, and he has won the favor and love of grandma.

"elder brother--"

A little girl in a green floral dress came running from a distance, calling him while running, interrupting his meditation.

The voice came from far to near, and soon the person came under the big rock, looked up at him, and said, "Brother, grandma asked me to call you home for dinner. How did you go to such a high place? What can I do when I come down, if my grandma knows, I must say you."

It was his fourth younger sister who came to call him home for dinner. She was one year younger than him, with a small face that was pointed, and her eyes looked very big.The clothes on the little girl's body were patched and mended, and there were many patches on them, all of which were clothes that her sisters didn't want.

The little girl was short and short-legged, so she could only stand below and look up at him.

"If you don't tell me, grandma won't know?" Li Wen slid down from the rock, stretched out his hand to grab the little girl's hair bun, and even pinched the little girl's cheek, heartbroken. It would be better to feel a little longer.

In his previous life, he was an only child, and he had no brothers or sisters in his family. His parents were busy with work and had no time to accompany him, so he used to envy other people who had brothers and sisters. He thought that having brothers and sisters would be very happy, at least he would not have to be alone.

But now he doesn't have to envy others for having brothers and sisters. Although his mother didn't give him half a brother or a sister, his aunt gave him several sisters and sisters.They grew up together, just like their own siblings.

"Brother, you are so bad, you always pinch other people's cheeks, and your cheeks turn red when you pinch them." The fourth girl covered her cheeks, but it didn't hurt much to be pinched by her brother, she just loved her brother coaxing her.

"Brother, let's go home, grandma will be anxious for a while. Brother, don't worry, I won't tell grandma." After finishing, the little girl patted her chest to assure her.

"Well, let's go back, you're so good." Li Wen asked the old cow to squat down, and sat up with the fourth girl, led the old cow, and took the younger sister back home.The little girl sitting on the back of the bull said, "Brother, do you know that my mother gave birth to a younger sister for me last night. I went to see it today, crying in the house, like a little monkey .”

Li Wen thought to himself that when you were a child, you looked like a monkey when you were born, so you would be ashamed to say something about others.

"My mother is crying inside the house today, and I saw it secretly." Having said this, the little girl lowered her head and murmured in a low voice, "My father squatted outside the house and sighed, and my grandma also looked unhappy. , saying that my mother gave birth to a girl again."

"Silly girl, what are you thinking about? If you think too much, you will become an old lady. It doesn't matter if you have a younger brother or a younger sister, we all love you equally. You said that you are a girl, and Brother Pianzi doesn't love you?" Li asked very It's hard to tell a little girl what equality between men and women is, and there is no such thing as equality between men and women here.

Since ancient times, the idea has been that having a son can carry on the family line, and a daughter is always going to marry into someone else's family and belong to someone else's family.This society is a patriarchal society, women's status is low, they are reduced to men's vassals, and they are tools for men to have children.

They took the old cow back to the cowshed. This cow is the public property of several families in their clan. If it disappeared, he would not be able to pay for it if it was sold.After sending the old cow back, the two brothers and sisters went home. On the way, they met people from the village who greeted him, "Sanbaoer, your grandma is calling you to go home for dinner."

"Yes, goodbye fifth uncle, come and sit at our house when you have time." Li Wen greeted the people in the village like a little adult, which is one of the reasons why the people in the village like him.Ever since he was able to go out when he was one year old, he would ask everyone he met in the village. From the 80-year-old grandfather to the one or two-year-old baby, he would tease them before leaving.

He is the third eldest in the family, and he is called Sanbaoer at home, and people in the village also call him Sanbaoer affectionately.

Walking all the way back, Li Wen held the little girl's hand all the time, the two of them were about the same age, he was more than half a head taller than this younger sister.This younger sister has been staggeringly calling after him since she could walk, and this shouting has been going on for so many years, Li Wen has always treated the little girl as her own sister.

But thinking of some things at home, it's not something their two children can control.

The two brothers and sisters went home, and there were long small shadows on the ground.
