The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

Inside the temple are solemn statues of gods and Buddhas, below which there are devout pilgrims kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times.

"Blessed by the Buddha, my son can meet a destined person as soon as possible, marry a wife, and have more children..." As a mother, a woman just hopes that her children will be healthy, find a destined person as soon as possible, and have someone by her side. Mrs. Wang knelt in front of the Buddha, muttering, hoping that the eldest son would get married soon, and the younger son would be in good health and grow up healthily.

As a wife, she hopes that her husband who is guarding the border is safe and will return soon.

Here, Li Jinwan brought Cha Shao and Yingchun into the temple to burn incense. Seeing so many people in the temple, Xi Yun followed their lady and whispered, "Miss, there are so many people here."

It is a good thing that the incense in the temple is flourishing.

Li Jinwan patted the little girl's hand and glanced at the Buddha, how could she talk nonsense in front of the Buddha.

"Yes, miss, I know I was wrong." The little girl quickly admitted her mistake, and even confessed to the Buddha, asking the Buddha to forgive her for being an ignorant little girl.

Yingchun took a look at Jia Yun, this girl always speaks without thinking, so she has to beat her up when she turns around, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to the master one day.

At this time, the temple was full of people. I heard that the Buddha in this temple was very effective. All the officials' wives and ladies in the capital came to this temple to burn incense. Money-seekers, and so on, there is no one who asks for anything.

Receiving the cigarette from the young master, Li Jinwan knelt in front of the Buddha, prayed devoutly for her elder brother, put the cigarette in her hand on the incense burner, and then shook a lottery. It was written on the lottery that it was a lottery. "Let's go, let's find the master to explain the signature."

"Yes, ma'am."

There are many people here, and it is common for people to bump into them accidentally.

Touched by a strange man, the other party apologized to her, "Girl, I'm sorry, did I hurt you?

"

"It's okay." Li Jinwan nodded lightly to the other party, and left with her maid, not taking this trivial matter to heart.Worried that her brother was waiting for her outside, all she could think about was to quickly undo the paperwork and go out to find him.

This woman is interesting, she didn't even look at him more, unlike some famous ladies in the capital, who would like to stick to him as soon as they saw him.Seeing the girl leaving, the man stood behind in a daze, forgetting to leave for a moment.

Xi Yun glanced back at the man who bumped into their lady, and said to their lady, "Miss, look at that man is still looking at us." ''

"It turns out that you are here. It's easy for me to find. I thought you had gone somewhere."

"Who was that girl just now? Do you know her?"

"Who is it?" There are so many girls in the capital, who knows all of them, the person who came shook his head and said, "I don't know

knowledge. "

There were a lot of people here to sign the lottery, and several people came to her after waiting in front, Li Jinwan handed the lottery to the master, the little master took a look, found the corresponding sign from the back, and said, "Girl, you are just going up Signed, the signed text is marriage, don't worry too much, you have spring flowers to celebrate your family, the general idea is..."

"Thank you, master." She herself didn't expect to seek marriage, she didn't expect to get a marriage lottery.

Li Jinwan said something to the little master with some embarrassment on her face, and left with the maid.

After walking a few steps, she felt someone pulling her sleeve. Li Jinwan looked down, smiled, and shouted, "Brother Chen, why are you here?" Not knowing who his family members are, she asked, "Who did you come with, why are you alone?"

Brother Chen shook his head, but Aniang and Momo were gone.

"Let's go out and wait for a while, maybe they will come here in a while." Seeing so many people here, Li Jinwan had no choice but to take them out first.

"Where's Brother Chen?"

As soon as Mrs. Wang turned her head over there, she realized that the child had disappeared. When she asked the people below, everyone said they were still here just now, so why did they disappear in the blink of an eye.Wang's face suddenly turned pale with fright, "Why did the person disappear, why don't you hurry up and look for it, what are you still doing here!"

"Yes, ma'am, we'll go find it right away."

The eldest lady Huo at the side heard that the young master of the second room was missing, and said calmly, "Children are fond of playing, I think Brother Chen should have gone to play somewhere, just look for it, there are so many people I'm afraid I won't find a child

? ”

As soon as you see Da Furen's indifferent face, I dare say it doesn't matter if your son disappears, right?

Oh, yes, she almost forgot that the Huo family never gave birth to a son!She only gave birth to a daughter, Sister Hui, and she married into someone else's family early. Now there is only Huo's old widow in the big house. The second room is not pleasing to the eye all day long, is it because she gave birth to two son?If you have the ability, you can give birth to yourself!

The uncle died in the battle, and they were not the ones who killed him. He was acting weird all day long at home, as if someone owed her money.

Now that she is the general's wife, Huo Shi has occupied the housekeeper's power for so many years, it's fine if she doesn't give it to her, but she still has to be on her head everywhere, that is to say, she has a good temper and doesn't care about Huo Shi.If it wasn't for the face of the family, Mrs. Wang couldn't bear such a vicious face of Mrs. Huo, and would have broken up with her a long time ago. Thinking about how she has endured it for so many years, Mrs. Wang still endured it. It's not good to have an accident with your sister-in-law in front of the old lady.

"Okay, don't say a word to any of you." After all, the old lady is helping the second room. After all, that is her own grandson, and the grandson is gone. Hearing what the big room said, the old lady's expression darkened He stopped Shen, and said to the people below, "So many people can't look down on a child, why don't you hurry up and look for it, and get Brother Chen back."

"Yes, old lady."

The people below went to find someone one after another.

Huo Shi was reprimanded by the old lady, his complexion immediately became extremely ugly, and he stood aside and did not speak.

"Brother Chen, let's wait here to see if anyone from your family is looking for you." Li Jinwan did not dare to take Brother Chen far away, fearing that his family would come looking for him, so she stopped at the door. By the way, wait here for her brother to come and find them.

"Master Chen丨"

"Young master, so you are here..."

Not long after they stood here, a person who looked like a housekeeper came over. Li Jinwan glanced at the person vigilantly, and asked Brother Chen, "Is this someone from your family?"

Zhao Ruichen nodded and hummed.

"Miss, I'm the housekeeper of General Zhao's residence. Thank you for helping us look after the young master." The housekeeper saw the young master standing beside a little girl. Presumably this little girl picked up their young master. The butler said a few polite words of thanks.

The butler hurriedly said to the people behind him, "Hurry up and tell Madam that you have found Young Master Chen."

Knowing that her son was found, Mrs. Wang couldn't wait to walk out with someone. When she saw her youngest son, she stepped forward and hugged him in her arms, "You child, you won't go anywhere with your mother Let me tell you, I will make my mother worry about you

"Aniang." The child called out Aniang, with guilt in his eyes.

"It's all right, I don't blame you, Ma'am." Seeing her son's appearance, Wang felt very distressed, knowing that this little girl picked up her little son, so she hurriedly thanked the little girl.

"My little girl, Li Jinwan, has met Mrs. Zhao." Li Jinwan knew that this was Mrs. Zhao's mother, and hurriedly bowed to reveal her identity, "I saw Brother Zhan alone, so I guess he got separated from his family. I wanted to bring him to stand here so that you can find him easily, and I'm really sorry for making you so worried."

"Oh, so it's the girl from Mrs. Li's family." After saying this, the Wang family knew the identity of this little girl. Brother Chen of their family has been going to Liuyuan Mansion to play every day recently. I left with a strange woman, so we knew each other.

As soon as he said this, Mrs. Wang seriously picked up Mrs. Li's sister. Her eyes are clear and she is not a calculating person. A girl, I don't know if they don't have one.

Li Jinwan didn't know that Mrs. Zhao was thinking about her, but the enthusiasm of the other party made her a little overwhelmed.

Mrs. Wang wanted to give her the bracelet in her hand, but Li Jinwan was refusing with both hands, "Don't, don't, madam, you won't be rewarded for nothing. I'm not doing you any favors. I can't accept such a valuable thing..."

"Why is it useless? You just helped me find our brother Chen. It was just a gift to meet me. If you don't accept me, don't you think this bracelet is too light?" The more you like it, the more you are not greedy, that's good, that's good.

"Aniang, what are you doing?" Zhao Xiangyi and Li Wen walked over together, seeing his aunt and Miss Li Si standing here, his aunt seemed to be holding something to fortify each other.

When he got closer, Zhao Xiangyi saw that his mother was holding a bracelet for Miss Li Si.

"Third Brother, Master Zhao." Li Jinwan saw her brother coming, as if she had seen a savior.

"Oh, it turns out that Yi'er and Miss Li still know each other, you child, why didn't you say this to Auntie?

thing. " Seeing her son coming, Mrs. Wang knew that her son and Miss Li still knew each other, so she immediately smiled, and the smile became even happier.

"Aniang, Miss Li and I have only met a few times, it's not what you think." No matter how stupid Zhao Xiangyi is, he knows what his aunt is up to.In front of his aunt, Li Wen, and everyone else, he must make this matter clear. He didn't mean that to Miss Li Si, lest his aunt mess up the mandarin ducks and harm other girls.

Not to mention that Li Wen is a smart person, after seeing it, he knew that Mrs. Zhao had taken a fancy to the fourth girl of their family, so he glanced at the man beside him.

The two people's eyes met and exchanged a look, Li Wen looked away, meaning that you should handle this matter yourself, and I will not participate.

To say he was angry was not enough, he just thought it was a little funny.

One is his sister, and the other is the mother of the other party. If Zhao Xiangyi and his sister are in love with each other, he must be sincerely blessing what he said when he was a big brother.But this is the man he likes, so I'm sorry, even if he kisses his sister, he can't give up his own man to her.

"Hey, you child." She didn't want to show any face to other girls. Seeing his son's appearance, Wang hated iron and steel, and finally met a nice girl. Li Liuyuan's sister, no matter how you say it Is it good?When she went back, she asked someone to check this girl carefully. If she was good, she could consider her as the Zhao family's wife.

Standing beside her brother, Li Jinwan felt a little embarrassed when she heard Mrs. Zhao and Mr. Zhao's words, so she told her brother about finding Brother Chen.

After knowing the whole story, Li Wen saluted Mrs. Zhao, and said, "Your Madam, you are polite. I thanked Madam for her kindness on behalf of my sister, but it is just a trivial matter, not enough for Madam to take it to heart.

This gift is too expensive, we can't accept it, please put it away, Madam. "

"Brother Chen, you are here too, why didn't you tell us, you come too, so we can come together." Seeing Brother Chen, Li Haopeng leaned over to talk to Brother Chen, "You Why didn't you come to our house to play yesterday? I waited for you all day and didn't see you. We even went to the street to buy candied haws. It was delicious. When will you come? Let's go to the street to buy candied haws together. I have money. I'll buy you candied haws."

The money was given by his brother!You can buy a lot of candied haws!

Sugar-coated haws?He also wanted to eat, Brother Chen looked at his elder brother with resentment, and blamed his elder brother for not taking him to Mr. Li's place.

They were talking here, Mrs. Zhao, who had finished worshiping the Buddha inside, knew that her little grandson had been found, and brought people out from inside.

Seeing the old lady surrounded by everyone, Li Wen knew that this was Mrs. Zhao, and this was the first time he saw Mrs. Zhao.Mrs. Zhao has the status of a royal order, that is, when he sees the old lady, he has to salute, "I have seen the old lady."

The housekeeper who followed whispered a few words in the old lady's ear, and the old lady Zhao knew that the person in front of her was Li Wen, and the one next to her was the sister of Li's family, and she was also the one who picked up her grandson. .The old lady's complexion softened a little, she nodded slightly, and thanked politely.

Lao Momo, who followed the old lady to serve, knew what the old lady meant, took out a jade pendant from her bosom, and put it into the old lady's hand.

The old lady gave the jade pendant in her hand to the housekeeper, and the housekeeper took the jade pendant and presented it to Miss Li, "This is what our old lady gave to you, girl, just take it."

Li Jinwan subconsciously looked at her brother, this jade pendant looked like a precious thing, how dare she take it

"A gift from the elders, you can't refuse it, take it." Li Wen said softly, and then thanked the old lady, "Thank you, old lady."

"Thank you, old lady." Now that her brother said so, Li Jinwan had no choice but to take the jade pendant.

Mrs. Zhao nodded, beckoning her little grandson to go, Brother Chen took a look at the old grandmother, walked to the old grandmother obediently, and called out "grandmother." The old lady patted the hand of the little grandson, It can be seen that the old lady loves this little grandson very much.

"Let's go back." The old lady said.

"Yes, old lady."

The housekeeper went to arrange things to go back.

Li Wen and Zhao Xiangyi nodded and did not go with them.At this time, Zhao Xiangyi still had other things to do, so it was not good to continue to be with the young man, so he nodded with the young man, and he took them away.

Seeing the general's mansion going down the mountain, they stayed on the mountain for a while.

Counting that they missed the time they would meet on the road, they followed behind down the mountain, boarded the chariots and horses that stopped at the foot of the mountain, and headed back to the city.
