The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

In midsummer, the vegetation is green, the cicadas on the trees are chirping non-stop, and the weather here in the capital is getting hotter day by day.

It just so happened that the case of the Ministry of Finance was over, and I had been busy for more than a month without much rest, and I didn't take the leave I had saved for several days.Before, he promised the kid at home to take him to swim. Since he promised, he had to keep it. There are still many things to be busy in the future. Taking advantage of the free two days at this moment, Li Wen prepared to go swimming. Take two days off, rest and relax, and take the kids to play for two days.

It's just that there are only two days, so I'm afraid I can't go far to play. The most I can do is walk around the city or the capital, and I can't go too far.

After arranging the time for Xiumu, Li Wen told Zhao Xiangyi about it.

Knowing that Li Wen wanted to take the boys to swim, he had a big lake in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, and they had fished there before, so Zhao Xiangyi would not forget it, so he asked Li Wen to take them with them. If you go to Zhuangzi and stay for two days, you can play on Zhuangzi for two days.

"It's just that I have some things to do here, so I can't go with you. I'll ask someone to tell the manager of Zhuangzi. The manager of Zhuangzi also knows you. If you are tired from playing, just go there. Brother Chen is thinking of you." It's been a long time, I'll have someone bring brother Chen over tomorrow, and go with you, okay?" By the way, he packed his kid here, so as not to stare at him all day long, saying that brother won't take him out.

The relationship between the two brothers is much better than before, and Zhao Xiangyi has gradually found a way to get along with his younger brother from Li Wen.

Apart from being weaker and sicker, the younger brother in the family is not too annoying in temperament.Zhao Xiangyi knew that the child was kept at home by his aunt because of his poor health these years. He thought he didn't have any playmates around him, and he felt a little lonely, so he naturally longed to play outside.There is also such a younger brother under him, it is impossible for Zhao Xiangyi not to feel pain.

"That's fine too. You can send Brother Chen here. I'll take them to Zhuangzi to play. I don't want to go too far." Li Wen has no objection to this, he just wants to find a place to relax and rest For a couple of days, it would be best if there was less fuss.

There is just one more boy left and right, but thinking of the noisy scene of the three boys together makes him a little...

"In this case, Brother Chen will leave it to you." Zhao Xiangyi had a smile in his eyes. He believed in Li Wen, so he sent the younger brother to him.The two of them understood each other's thoughts in their hearts even if they didn't make it clear about many things.

"I'll go find you when I finish my work here." He happened to have something to do these few days, and Zhuangzi's side was not far away, so he just went there after he finished his work.

Li Wen nodded and said, "Okay, if you're busy, just go about your business. We'll stay at Zhuangzi for a day or two at most and come back."

They don't have much time, at most they just have to play for a day or two before they have to go back to the city.

The two of them discussed the arrangement, and Zhao Xiangyi sent someone to send a message to Zhuangzi to get ready.On the other hand, Li Wen sent someone to the academy to ask for two days off for the two boys, and told the teacher to get approval, otherwise it would be bad to be absent from class for no reason.

Knowing that you can go to Zhuangzi to play, Master Li and his little friends are also going with you, Brother Chen is very happy, and he asked the servant girl to pack up his things one day in advance, and he is ready to go out to play early tomorrow morning .

"Mother Chen, take care of Brother Chen, and you have to be more careful in everything." Mrs. Zhao saw that her youngest son was happy, and she didn't stop her from going to Zhuangzi to play. The younger son usually likes to play in Liuyuan Mansion. Li Liuyuan is also relieved, at worst, he can send a few more maids and servants to go with him.

It's just that when the summer comes, the child suffers from summer, has a bad appetite, and doesn't eat much. The little meat that he managed to grow in winter quickly disappears, which makes it hard for the mother to say.Mrs. Zhao warned, "over there in the kitchen, tell them to get something that Brother Chen likes to eat, and coax Brother Chen to eat two more meals."

"Yes, ma'am, don't worry, this servant will definitely take a good look at the young master." Chen Ma replied.

Chen Ma was the dowry maid who followed Mrs. Zhao to the General's Mansion, and was later assigned by Mrs. Zhao to take care of the young master. This one was someone close to her, and Mrs. Zhao was more at ease with her people.

Early the next morning, the guards of the General's Mansion escorted their young master to Liuyuan Mansion.

"Chenchen is here, have you had breakfast?" Li Wen saw the child holding the rabbit, his little face became thinner. He had heard Zhao Xiangyi say that the child was sick at home, so the child hadn't been there for a while. Came to his house to play.

He is also busy during this time, he didn't go to the General's Mansion to see the children, he just asked the boy at home to bring gifts

The general's mansion visited the little friend.

The child nodded obediently, said "I have eaten", and then looked at Master Li eagerly.

"Okay, we're ready to go out now." Looking into the child's eyes, Li Wen knew what the child wanted to ask.A few boys met and chatted there, Li Wen saw that most of the boys from his family were talking. Brother Chen seemed to have become much quieter since he fell ill.

But children, it is inevitable that they will get sick or something, and they will get better when they grow up.

"Okay, let's go."

"Let's go!"

The carriage in the courtyard was ready, and there was no need to carry too many things in the carriage, Zhuangzi had everything there, so they just took two changes of clothes and went there.The three boys didn't forget to bring their rabbits with them. The three boys and the rabbit got into the carriage together, and Li Wen also got into the carriage.

Those who went with him were not only the servant girl who was waiting on him, but also the accompanying bodyguard, with Brother Chen by his side. He was responsible for the safety of other people's children.

"Brother Chen, look at my rabbits are so big "Look at their tails are so short..."

"Their eyes are red."

Seeing a few kids playing with rabbits together, Li Wen's forehead twitched, and the four characters "playing things and losing one's ambition" flashed across, but who let these rabbits be brought back for the children he said!

Forget it, as long as the children have fun, you can raise them if you want.

In the carriage along the way, several boys were laughing and laughing constantly. Hearing the children's play, Li Wen closed his eyes, leaned against the wall of the carriage, and took a nap on the road.When he opened his eyes, the carriage was already driving on the small road on the outskirts of the city, and the three boys were lying on the window looking outside.

When they got to the Zhuangzi, they put down their things and left the maid and the old lady on the Zhuangzi, and they took a few guards to the lake.The neighborhood is full of villages owned by rich people, and there are no villages nearby, so there is no need to worry about people coming to the lake, it is just right for them to come here to swim.

There is a row of trees planted by the lake. The trees in midsummer are lush and lush. It is most pleasant to put a deck chair under the tree, lie on it, and put a pole to go fishing.

As for the boys who want to go swimming, except for his kid who can swim, the other two can't.

Well, if you don’t know how to do it, just learn, no one is born to be good at everything.

"Okay, I'll find two people to teach you."

Li Wen asked the accompanying guards, "Which of you can swim?" He casually ordered two guards who could swim, and asked them to take Brother Chen and Yang Yang to learn to swim.

"Hahaha...look at me." Li Haopeng stripped off his clothes in two or three strokes, jumped into the water with a splash, kicked his feet in the water, and looked at him like a fish. The little friends who were still standing on the shore shouted, "Come down quickly, the water is so cool and comfortable."

People who can't swim are somewhat afraid of water, and dare not go down when they see the water.

Seeing the two children staring at the lake, standing there not daring to move, Li Wen couldn't help but smiled, and asked, "Do you want to go down and play? Do you think Xiaobao is like a fish in the water? Do you want to learn to swim too, so you can play in the water in the future."

He looked at the children with encouragement in their eyes. He still hoped that the children could learn to swim. If they accidentally fell into the water one day, they would not drown, right? So learning to swim is also a skill.

"Yangyang, Brother Chen, come down quickly, it's not fun to be here alone." Li Haopeng had already swam around in the water, and when he found that the others hadn't come down, he jumped out of the water. He came out, reached out and touched the water on his face, and shouted.

"Don't be afraid, go down. I'll watch you here, and there are guards leading you. There is still Xiaobao in the water. You can see that Xiaobao has swam twice." Under his encouragement, the two The child finally began to take off his clothes.

Li Wen also taught the two children some warm-up exercises before letting the guards take them down.

The two children had just entered the water, and they probably still had a little fear in their hearts. They hugged the guard who led them tightly, and then slowly let go of their hands and feet, letting the guard lead them to splash in the water.Li Haopeng circled around his friends and took the initiative to teach them how to swim.

Seeing that Brother Chen and Yang Yang had nothing wrong with going into the water, Li Wen asked someone to bring a recliner over, sat on the recliner while fishing, while paying attention to the little guys in the water, turned around and said to the accompanying guards , "If you want to go down, let's go down and play together, pay attention to the little guys in the water, don't let anything happen to them.,'

In this scorching summer, the cool lake water has an alluring charm that makes people want to take off their clothes and jump down to take a bath and then come back up again.

The guards in the back look at me, and I look at you. There are still a few people who can swim, and with the master's consent, they all ran into the water one after another.

As for those who can't swim, they can only stand on the shore and look at the people in the water with envy and hatred.
