The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

For the Dragon Boat Festival, mugwort and calamus are to be worn. Li Jinwan embroidered several purses and prepared one for everyone in the family.

"Oh, here is my embroidered purse, which contains mugwort and calamus. Brother, you can take one with you." After eating, Li Jinwan asked Magpie to bring her embroidered purse, and picked it out with her own hands. A blue purse was hung on her brother's waist.

"It's beautiful! Our sister can enter the kitchen and go to the living room. This hand embroidery is so good. Whoever wants to marry my sister in the future will be happy." Li Wen usually doesn't like to hang things on his waist , there was nothing on his waist, and when he saw the purse hanging on his waist, he teased the girl.

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Li Jinwan blushed, she would not have embroidered a purse for her brother if she had known earlier!

"Haha..." Li Wen couldn't help laughing out loud.

Everything on the table was removed, and a pot of tea was brought up. Li Wen took a sip of the tea and said, "It's rare that we are all at home today. There is a dragon boat race here in Beijing during the Dragon Boat Festival today. I will take you to watch it later." Let's have a dragon boat race." Remembering that the two little ones were still playing in the back, he turned to Li Tong and said, "Go and call Xiaobao and Yangyang over, and ask them if they want to go out to play."

He was too busy during this time, basically he was outside, and when he came back, he just slept at home and left early the next morning.He didn't have much time to supervise the boys at home. He hadn't checked the homework of the two boys for a while, and he had to find time to check the homework of the two boys later to see if the two boys had fallen behind in their recent studies.

It’s a holiday today, so let’s put this aside for the time being, and check again after the holiday ^

"Yes, little one, I'll go and call Young Master and Young Master Yang over here." Li Tong went to call after he finished answering.

"By the way, call Bai Yu over." Li Wen didn't leave Bai Yu behind, since he was going out to play, it would be more lively if there were more people.

"Yes, master, this servant will go and call for Young Master Bai."

Since they are all going out to play, the girls at home should also go out together, right?Li Wen looked back at his sister, and asked, "Jin Wan, you can go together, do you want to go back and change your clothes and dress up?" Girls love beauty, and they always have to dress up when they go out.

"Okay then, I'll go back and change my clothes, you guys wait here for my meeting." Li Jinwan stood up, since she was going out, she must be well-dressed before going out.

"Go, go, I'll wait for you here, don't worry, we have a lot of time, dress up nicely." Li Wen waved his hand, telling people to go back and dress up.Although the girl of his family does not have the appearance of sinking fish and wild goose, she can still be regarded as Xiaojiabiyu, and her facial features are not exquisite, but she is good-looking after a long time, and she will look even better after a little dressing up.

Women are proud of those who please themselves. Everyone loves beauty. When they are well-dressed, they are not only happy when they see it, but also when others see it.

"elder brother-',

He was sitting here drinking tea, and before he saw anyone, he heard this brat's voice. The corners of Li Wen's mouth twitched. Seeing the sweaty and muddy kid playing in the backyard, he sneered, " Stop for me, what does it look like, like a mud monkey."

He is dressed in white, don't come here and dirty his clothes!

"Brother." Li Xiaobao slammed on the brakes, stood in front of his brother, raised his eyes to look at his brother, and lowered his head to look at his clothes. There was a lot of dirt on them. He ran in a hurry just now, and he forgot to wipe them off. up.So his brother is angry?

"My lord." Bai Jingyang followed behind, also covered in sweat and mud.

Seeing the two mud monkeys in front of him, who didn't know how they rolled in the backyard, and seeing the two boys standing in front of him with a face of doing something wrong, Li Wen laughed angrily, and said, "You two, do you want to see me again?" Don't go out to play? Why don't you go back and wash your face and change your clothes!"

Li Xiaobao could tell from his brother's tone that his brother was not really angry with them, he was afraid that his brother would not take them out, "Yes, brother, let's go back and wash our faces and change our clothes." He turned around and grabbed Yang Yang's hand, pulled the man and ran outside.

Bai Jingyang was still a little dizzy and didn't react, so he was dragged away.

Li asked, "..."

Among these few people, Bai Yu was the fastest one to come.

Seeing Bai Yu coming, Li Wen asked someone to pour a cup of tea for Bai Yu, and said, "Come and sit down, let's have a cup of tea first, those few of them didn't think they could do it so soon."

Bai Yu sat down, and the two of them talked about some things in the store while drinking tea.

Li Wen is now entrusting Bai Yu to take care of these business matters.

Give it to Bai Yu together.Do not use suspicious people, and do not doubt employing people.If he hadn't trusted Bai Yu, he wouldn't have kept him by his side. Since he used it, there was nothing to be suspicious of. Li Wen, a hands-off shopkeeper, had no pressure at all.

However, Bai Yu did not disappoint him. Since Bai Yu took over these shops in the capital, the monthly accounts of each shop have been steadily increasing, and the shops are all in a state of profit.

Now Zhuangmengge's business is very good, and now they have a workshop. With sufficient manpower, the output of goods has increased, and there is no need to control the quantity of goods sold in the store like before.So they are now planning to open a second Zhuangmengge in the capital. The storefront has been found and is currently being decorated. The storefront of the new store is better than the old store, and the storefront is also bigger.

Bai Yu is completely different now from when he first arrived in the capital. He is full of confidence. The injury on his leg is recovering very well. Although he can't run and jump like before, he doesn't need to use crutches to walk. up.Recently, he was talking about the decoration of the new store. Bai Yu said, "Today is the holiday, and I gave everyone a day off. The store will take seven or eight days to complete."

"Well, fine, just keep an eye on it in the store." Li Wen nodded, he is also very busy recently, and he has no time to visit the new store yet, so he will leave the matter of the new store to Bai Yu.

The two talked about going to the private restaurant. After such a period of time, [Kezhi] has been known by many people in the capital. Basically, there is an upper limit for daily appointments. If you can't make an appointment, you can only go to Push back.

And [Guest] is not a place to receive all guests, it only accepts guests introduced by regular customers, and reservations must be made in advance to have a seat.To a certain extent, this has improved the grade of [Kezhi], and the location here is even harder to find than the location of Yipin Building in Beijing.Yipinlou is a place where you can go if you have money, but [Kezhi] is a place where you can go even if you have money, so this is the difference between them and Yipinlou.

To be able to afford such a restaurant in the capital, there must be a backstage behind it. Needless to say, the backstage is all officials in the court.Therefore, even if they can't make an appointment, people dare not make trouble, for fear that they will offend someone who shouldn't be offended if they are not careful.For most people, the more places they can’t get in, the more they want to go in and see for themselves, especially friends who have been to [Kezhi], they all said that the restaurant has a good place and unique dishes. This is unique in the capital, and it attracts people to flock to it even more.

"Just keep an eye on the restaurant. If someone causes trouble, you can come back and tell me." Li Wen said.

Bai Yu nodded, and said yes, "It's nothing, I can handle some small things here."

While they were talking, the two boys had already changed their clothes and came over.

After waiting for a while, Li Jinwan also changed into a suit of clothes and came over beautifully. When she came, she saw that everyone was waiting for her, and she was the only one left. Her eyes stopped on Bai Yu's body for a while, and she lowered herself shyly. Head, and said sorry, "I kept everyone waiting for a long time."

Bai Yu's eyes fell on Li Jinwan's body. The little girl was wearing a bright yellow floral dress, with light makeup on her face, and a golden step on her hair.It's not that he has never seen beauties before, but none of those beauties moved his heart.

In the past, he didn't know what it means to like someone, but now he has a little understanding.

"It's okay, it's okay, it just so happens that Bai Yu and I have something to talk about." It's not that Li Wen didn't notice the acquaintance in the eyes of the two people around him, he didn't stop his sister from having something with Bai Yu, he still believed in Bai Yu's character.Now there are only two Bai Yu brothers left in the Bai family. It would be even better if his sister married Bai Yu.

For Li Wen, life is as simple as it is, as comfortable as it is.

However, Li Wen did not intervene in the matter of these two people, he just looked at their own wishes, "Is it all right? If it's all right, then let's go."

There were two carriages parked at the door, Li Wen took Bai Yu and the two boys into one, Li Jinwan took Magpie and Yingchun into the rear one.

During this period of time, there were a lot of things in court, and he was worried about what would happen when he went out. In the past, when he was with Zhao Xiangyi, he didn't worry about anything.But today he took his family members out, Li Wen took Ah Chen and Ah Wu, and the people Zhao Xiangyi sent to him, picked two out, dressed as coachmen, and went out with them.

Every various festivals, there is no shortage of excitement here in the capital.

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. There are dragon boats in the capital. Dragon boat picking is a competition organized by the government. If you win, you will be rewarded.

So many people came to participate.

When they arrived, both sides of the river were already full of people, and all the good places were taken by people, so it was difficult to find a good place.Li Wen and Bai Yu brought a child alone, and asked the two boys to follow them, "There are a lot of people here today, everyone should pay attention to safety, don't fall into the water."

"You two boys follow us well, don't get lost."

There are so many people at this time, accidents can easily happen if you are not careful, Li Wen really didn't know there would be so many people,

"Jin Wan, you have to follow us closely."

"Well, I'm right behind you."

Fortunately, when they arrived, the game hadn't started yet.

After walking around, they found a place to stand, and everyone barely stepped in.

After a while, I heard the sound of drums. This is the start of the game, and everyone is looking forward to it.

"Brother, let's start!" Li Haopeng held his brother's hand nervously. He was squeezed in the crowd, and barely saw the dragon boat in the river by standing on tiptoe.Li Wen grabbed the boy's hand and replied, "Yes, it's about to start, you can stand by my side."

He asked the child to stand in front of him, so the view is better.

"Stand still and don't move.

"oh oh."

With the sound of the drum, the game began.
