The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

"Young master, the second madam asked you to come back and go to her courtyard." The butler rushed over as soon as he received the news of the young master's return.

"Understood." Zhao Xiangyi nodded, and went to the yard where his aunt lived.Entering the house, seeing his mother and younger brother are here, Zhao Xiangyi called out to his mother and younger brother, and asked, "I heard from the housekeeper that my mother is looking for me.

Auntie, why are you looking for me? "

"Ruichen met elder brother." Zhao Ruichen saluted his elder brother, and his eyes were glued to his elder brother.

Zhao Xiangyi hummed, and looked away from his younger brother, looking at his mother, waiting for his mother to tell him what she wanted from him.Seeing her son's appearance of wanting to leave as soon as he arrived, Mrs. Wang was very angry. Could it be that she is a beast that can eat people?The beautiful woman asked angrily, "I can't see you if I have nothing to do, can I?"

Zhao Xiangyi didn't say anything, but he felt that in his heart.

Seeing her son like this is tantamount to acquiescing, Wang shed a tear for herself in her heart, forget it, the son is her own and cannot be crushed to death, the beautiful woman squeezed out a gentle smile on her face, and said, "Come here , sit down, I haven’t seen you back home all day, Brother Chen has been waiting for you at home for a few days and hasn’t seen you.”

Zhao Xiangyi sat down in the vacant chair, and the maid who was serving below brought tea and then retreated.

Looking at her eyes from the youngest son, Mrs. Wang is not good at disappointing the youngest son. She knows that the eldest son is not very patient. She is afraid that the eldest son will leave before she finishes talking. Shi said, "Brother Chen wants to go to Master Li, if you are free, can you take your little brother to Master Li?"

So that's the case, what else did he think.

Zhao Xiangyi didn't even touch the tea that was just brought on the table, he got up, looked at the well-behaved younger brother sitting beside him, and said, "Then let's go."

The child ran over patter, grabbed his elder brother's hand, looked up at his elder brother, go?

"Aniang, let's go." Zhao Xiangyi led the person away without waving his little hand away.

Just gone?

Seeing the youngest son abandoning her as his own mother, and following the elder brother without looking back, hey, err, it really is a mother, the beautiful woman pretended to wipe the corner of her eyes, watching the younger son follow the elder brother When the son went out, he didn't even leave her behind.

In the two days before last, the carpenter master made all the things he was going to do.

The things in the backyard were just loaded, and Li Wen heard the people below say that Mr. Zhao is coming, so he hurriedly asked them to come over, and others followed to greet the guests.Seeing that Zhao Xiangyi came with his younger brother, Li Wen smiled and said, "Master Zhou just finished the swing and wooden horse and installed them in the backyard. I was just about to tell you to let you bring Chenchen Come here to play, I didn't expect you to bring Chenchen here."

"Hello, Chenchen, welcome to my house to play." Li Wen patted the child's head and said with a smile on his face.

Zhao Ruichen looked cute.

"You don't have to go to the camp today?" Li Wen looked at the man and asked.

"I'll go there later." Zhao Xiangyi said.

"If you have something to do, go do it. It's okay for Chenchen to stay with me. I'll just help you look after him." Knowing that this man still had something to do, Li Wen helped him take care of him. The younger brother's task, "It happens that I have nothing to do today, and I'm at home all day."

One sheep is driven, two sheep are also driven, and three sheep are also driven.

Zhao Xiangyi looked down at his younger brother, who was only halfway up to his waist, and asked, "I've been away for half a day, can you stay here?"

? "

Zhao Ruichen thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Yes."

Zhao Xiangyi nodded, looked at Li Wen and said, "Brother Chen, I will trouble you, I will come and pick him up later."

"Okay, go and do your work. Just come pick him up when you're done. If you don't have anything to do at night, just drop by and have dinner." Li Wen waved his hand, telling the man to do whatever he wants, and don't talk too much. wordy.Zhao Xiangyi left his younger brother in Liuyuan Mansion, so people went to work on him.

Seeing the man turn around and leave, Li Wen took the child by the hand and walked towards the backyard.

Before he walked in, he heard the sound of his kid screaming.

"Xiaobao, Yangyang, look who's coming." Li Wen took the child in his hand and walked over. The two children in their family saw Chen Zhan approaching, and they both ran over.It was not the first time for the three children to meet each other. They had only played together a few days ago, and they obviously still remembered each other.

Li Xiaobao was very happy to see the children coming over, and wanted to share his good things with friends to play with, "Brother Chen, you are here, come and see our swing, brother Chen, sit on it, and I will push you."

Li Wen told his little boy, "You guys play together and take good care of Brother Chen, you know?"

"Understood, brother, we will take care of Brother Chen." Li Xiaobao dragged him away.

Seeing the three children playing together quickly, Li Wen shook his head with a smile, let the children play with them, and told Li Tong to watch here, and he went to the study to do his business.

After lunch at noon, the three cubs fell asleep after playing on the warm pit.

Li Wen covered the three boys with small quilts. Seeing the boys sleeping soundly, he himself seemed to be infected with sleepiness. He didn't go back to sleep in his own room, so he just stayed in the warm pit. I lay down with the three little ones, and fell asleep shortly after I closed my eyes. I didn't even know that I held the little one next to me in my arms as a pillow.

Brother Chen, who was the first to wake up, found himself being held in Mrs. Li's arms. It was a bit different from Grandma Aniang holding him, but he didn't hate it...

"Aha..." Li Wen woke up, opened his eyes, and lowered his head to meet a small face looking up at him. He was not so clear-headed when he just woke up, and he still wondered when Zhao Xiangyi shrunk.

After a pause in his mind, Li Wen remembered that the child in his arms was General Zhao's youngest son, Zhao Xiangyi's own brother, not Zhao Xiangyi, he stopped yawning in the middle of the yawn, and he quickly let go of the child. Didn't do anything weird.

Li asked, "Are you awake?"

The child nodded, he looked well-behaved, his eyes were shining, and he was extremely cute.

Li Wen couldn't restrain his hands, held the child's face in both hands, rubbed the child's face, and asked softly with a smile, "Then shall we get up?"

The child whose face was rubbed had wet eyes, but he didn't dare to resist, and continued to nod.

"So good..." I don't know if Zhao Xiangyi was so good when he was a child?Hehehe...

There were two sleeping together in the corner, and they hadn't woken up yet. Li Wen didn't wake up and told the two younger ones to sleep a little longer. He took the woken up child to wash his face.

In the afternoon, he reads the account book in the study, and let the child sit aside to write. The child is quiet and does not disturb him to do things. When he looks up, he can see the serious face of the child.After a while, the other two boys woke up and found them, so he let the three children play in the house.

Zhao Xiangyi didn't come back from Daying until the sun went down outside, and as soon as he entered the city, he came to Liuyuan Mansion.

"I'm back, I still wonder how long it will take you to come back. If you don't come back, we will prepare dinner without waiting for you." Seeing Zhao Xiangyi coming back, Li Wen put down the book in his hand, with a lazy smile on his face, Stand up from the recliner.

He was sitting in the house reading a book, and a few kids were playing inside. The temperature outside was too low, so he didn't let the kids play outside for too long, worrying that the kids would catch a cold if they were exposed to the cold wind for too long.

In the blink of an eye, most of the day passed like this.

"You guys are going to be hungry, so you don't have to wait for me." Seeing the young man walking towards him, Zhao Xiangyi fixed his eyes on the young man in front of him, feeling a desire to embrace the young man in his arms.

Why are you looking at me like that?Li Wen didn't understand what the man was looking at him for.

"Hungry is not very hungry. We made dim sum at home. We drank tea and ate dim sum just now. When you go back later, bring some dim sum back for your mother to try. It was made by Jinwan, and there is nothing for sale outside. .” They also drank afternoon tea in the afternoon, and they were not very hungry at the moment, but it was time for dinner.

Zhao Xiangyi nodded, thinking that the young man would think of his mother if he had something good. I wonder if his mother would choose this person?Anyway, it must be right to make a good impression on his mother first, so it was decided.

"Brother." After playing at other people's houses for half a day, I saw my brother come back. Now that I saw my brother, Zhao Ruichen didn't want to be a friend anymore, and ran over to my brother.Zhao Xiangyi patted the child's head casually, and Li Wen said, "Chenchen is very obedient and plays well here."

Zhao Xiangyi gave a "hmm" and glanced at his younger brother.

The food in the kitchen was ready, and Li Wen sent someone to prepare the meal.

There are guests at home today, and they specially prepared a sumptuous dinner. They put the dining table in front of the fireplace, and there is firewood burning in the stove, so they won't feel cold when they sit and eat here.The prepared dishes in the kitchen were put on the table, filling a large table, and everyone sat down around the table.

"I don't have any rules about eating here, everyone can do whatever they want." When they eat at home, adults and children sit together, and women can also eat at the table. Li Wen doesn't treat Zhao Xiangyi as an outsider, just let them do whatever they want.He looked at the child who came to his house for dinner for the first time, and said, "Pick what you want to eat, if you can't, just say, let someone do it for you."

"Yeah." The kid nodded.

"Then, let's eat," Li Wen said with a smile.

Li Xiaobao couldn't wait to move his chopsticks for a long time. With a groan, the chopsticks went towards the braised pork in the middle.

However, he didn't pick it up for himself to eat, but gave it to the two children around him, and gave the last piece to himself.Seeing that his little boy would take care of other children, Li Wen felt very comforted.

The child of their family has grown up a lot during the six months since he came to the capital. When he first arrived in the capital, the child was still a little spoiled and clingy, and often went to sleep with him at night.Now that half a year has passed, after the child is familiar with the environment here in the capital, he is like a bird flying free, going to play with the children and not clinging to his big brother anymore.

Maybe it's also mainly because his big brother is always busy outside and not very much at home. Li Wen reflected on himself in his heart, isn't this big brother a bit unqualified?

"Oh, brother, it's delicious." The little boy ate the meat, so delicious that he wailed.

"Eat more if it tastes good. If you can't reach it, tell brother, brother will pick it up for you." Li Wen took a piece of fish for a few children. The fish was dipped in flour and fried, and then drizzled with sweet and sour sauce. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it tastes delicious, crunchy, sweet and sour.

"Thank you brother."

"Thank you sir."

Children like this sweet and sour taste. Even Brother Chen, who usually doesn't like fish, rarely eats a piece of fish, but still stares at the dish that can't be caught in the distance. , still want to eat.

Noticing the look in the child's eyes, Li Wen picked up another piece of fish for the child.

"Is it tasty?"

"delicious."

After eating a meal, the cubs ate until their bellies bulged, Li Wen himself had almost eaten, and Zhao Xiangyi was already full, sitting there waiting for them to finish eating.

It's cold in winter, and the big dog at home likes to lie down and sleep next to the fireplace. Li Wen looked at the sleeping big dog, and said with a bit of sadness in his eyes, "Dahei is getting old, and he doesn't like to eat a bit recently. Still like to sleep."

Following the boy's gaze, Zhao Xiangyi saw the big dog lying there, and he knew it was the big dog raised by his fourth uncle.

A few children were playing in the house today, and the big black muscle slept here all day, only occasionally opening his eyelids to take a look.

I don't know if he knew others were talking about it, but the big dog rolled his eyelids and gave him a look with triangular eyes. Li Wen said, "When I was young, my master carried a big black by his side. His name is actually General. my master took it

"If it were a human, it would be an old man at this age."

The longest lifespan of a dog is only a dozen or 20 years, and the longest rarely exceeds 20 years. A dog's teenage years is equivalent to a human being's 90-year-old age.

Seeing the worry on the boy's face, Zhao Xiangyi didn't know how to comfort him.

Facing the way the man looked at him, Li Wen smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'll just express my feelings, don't bother me."

But Zhao Xiangyi still saw the boy's worries in his eyes, he knew what the boy was worried about.

It was getting dark outside, but fortunately it was not very far from Liuyuan Mansion back to the General's Mansion, and it was only one street away to the General's Mansion.It's just that when it was time to go back, the child was a bit reluctant to go back, so Li Wen had to coax the child, "Hey, go back with your brother first, and if you still want to come to play with brother, you can come to play tomorrow. Otherwise, your mother If I don't see you, I will worry about you."

Seeing the little eyes the child looked at him, Li Wen felt that the child was very pitiful.

"Yes, Brother Chen, come back to play tomorrow, I will take you to play tomorrow." Li Xiaobao comforted his little friend.

"Let's go." Zhao Xiangyi took the younger brother by the hand and went out, put him on the horse, turned over, glanced at the young man who sent him out, pulled the cloak to wrap the child around his chest, and rode towards the general. The government went back.

Seeing the people leaving, Li Wen took the two cubs back to the mansion.
