The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

"You don't remember me?" Situ Yu had a shocked expression on his face.

Does he know this person?Li Wen subconsciously turned his head to look at the man behind him, wanting to ask Zhao Xiangyi if he had seen this young man.

Zhao Xiangyi looked at Situ Yu, and said hello lightly, "Little Prince."

Little prince?Since when did he meet a young prince in the capital?Li Wen had a kind smile on his face, but his heart was full of question marks, but judging from the other party's expression, the other party might really know him.But Zhao Xiangyi seemed to know each other, so he would ask the man next to him later, he really couldn't remember that he had met him.

"Ah, it's you, Zhao Xiangyi, you're here too, do you know him?" Situ Yu saw Zhao Xiangyi here now, and he knew that Zhao Xiangyi was the companion of His Royal Highness.His sister, Situ Xue, is the concubine of the crown prince, and Zhao Xiangyi is close to the crown prince, so he has met Zhao Xiangyi a few times, but they are not familiar with each other.

Zhao Xiangyi nodded as a greeting to the other party.

It turns out that these two people know each other, so it's easy to handle.Li Wen was a good person once, and said to the little gentlemen with a smile, "Little prince, how are you all, do you and your friends want to eat in the store? There is a wing room upstairs that we specially vacated." It is used, and it is not used to receive guests at ordinary times. Xiaoer didn't mean to lie to you, so please don't be angry.

If you don't mind, how about going up with us?This meal is my treat, and I invite you to have a meal together. "

By the way, I also want to find out if he knows this little boy. The other person stares at him like he is a heartless person.

Is this to invite them to have dinner together?

What the other party meant was to tell them that this shop was opened by him, and the shop reserved a place for themselves, so they couldn't say anything.

Situ Yu turned around and asked a few words about his friend.

, 'Let's go together. "

Those who played with Situ Yu were also the sons and daughters of the capital. They stood outside the door and drool when they smelled the fragrance. Now that they have a place to eat, they don't mind sharing a table with others. Several people knew Zhao Xiangyi.

"Okay, then let's go in, please come inside." Li Wen made a gesture of please.

Situ Yu walked in front, he and Zhao Xiangyi followed behind him, followed by Xiao Er who led the way, and the group went upstairs and entered the wing room.

As the owner of the shop, Li Wen knew all about the dishes in the shop. After asking everyone's preferences, he ordered a mandarin duck pot and a lot of meat dishes, and asked someone to send two pots of plum wine over.The alcohol content of plum wine is low, so people who drink it lightly will not get drunk easily.

On his left was Zhao Xiangyi, and on his right was Xiao Shizi. When he turned his head, he saw Xiao Shizi staring at him. Li Wen gave him a smile.

"You really don't remember me?" Situ Yu murmured with resentment on his face, "I still remember the taste of your cooking noodles." It was not until spring was almost over that his body got better.

For a long time after he went back, he remembered the smell of noodles in the examination room. He was eating dry food in the examination room, and the examinee on the opposite side was cooking three meals a day. He looked envious, but he didn’t know the taste Is it really so fragrant, this thought almost became a daze in Xiao Shizi's heart, so it's no wonder he recognized Li Wen at a glance.

Cook noodle?

The picture flashed in his mind, Li Wen let out a long oh, and said with a smile, "I remembered, so it was you

After being reminded by the other party, he remembered that there was a young man sitting opposite him in that test, wasn't he the young man in front of him?At that time, he still wondered why the child went to the examination room without taking the exam, and sat around without answering the papers every day. During the exam, it was cold in spring, and the sudden drop in temperature caught people off guard, causing many people to fall ill. The young master was carried out after two days of staying up.

At that time, he thought that the little boy would be fine, but at that time he was busy answering the test paper, so this concern for strangers was quickly forgotten by him.

If the other party didn't mention this matter, he would have forgotten such a person. After all, they only met once, and they didn't know each other.In addition, because of the exam at that time, he was so focused on the answer sheet that he didn't even remember who he met at the venue when he returned from the exam, let alone half a year had passed.

"Do you remember?" Seeing that the other party remembered him, Situ Yu said, "I just said, we met before."

"Yes, yes, I remembered, we met before." Li Wen remembered this young man, and introduced himself with a smile, "My name is Li Wen, and I don't know your name yet. Meeting is fate, how about we make friends today?"

After turning around, it was fate that they met here today.

"My name is Situ Yu." Although Situ Yu is the young master of the Hou Mansion, he has no official position, and he does not enter the court, so he does not know that the man in front of him is the famous Li Liuyuan.But he doesn't hate the other party, so let's make friends with him reluctantly, and introduce his friends to the other party by the way.

After Situ Yu's introduction, Li Wen rearranged the information he got, that is, this beautiful young man is Situ Yu, the youngest son of the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion, and on Situ Yu's right is the third young master Shangguan Yixiang of the Anyuan Marquis Mansion , and then there is Xue Zelin, the seventh young master of the Pingyuan Hou Mansion, and the rest are all official young masters, and all of them are from noble backgrounds.

The first emperor granted three kings of the opposite sex and four marquises, and sitting here with him are three young princes from the marquis' mansion.The young masters all seemed to be sixteen or seventeen years old, about the same age as him. With a tender face, Li Wen got to know the young masters for a while.

Xue Zelin and Shangguan Yixiang knew Zhao Xiangyi, they looked at Li Wen with curiosity, they didn't know Li Wen's identity, they mainly wanted to save face for their friend Situ Yu.

As for the other young masters from the official family, they followed the attitude of the young masters of the Houfu.

Just at this moment, the waiter in the store brought up the soup and food with someone. The thick soup was still boiling hot just out of the pot, and when the charcoal fire below burned, the whole room was filled with fragrance.The meat and dishes on the table are laid out one by one,

There are not many places, but the number is good, and a large table is filled.

It was the first time for the young masters to eat this hot pot, and they couldn't help drooling when they smelled the aroma.

"Don't be polite, everyone. You can order whatever you want. This is a hot pot, and there are charcoal fires under it. We can eat while ordering. There are sauces here. You can make whatever sauce you like. If you don't understand, you can let it The people next to you will help you." Li Wen left two servants here to serve and serve and pick up the dishes for the young masters, so that he would not have to wait on them one by one.

"This is mutton soup. Eighteen kinds of medicinal materials are used to boil it together. It is a good time to eat in this weather and to nourish your body. Let's drink a bowl of soup first and try how it tastes." The bottom of this mutton soup is full of good things. Ask the boy to serve soup for everyone.

"I'll try it."

"Well, the taste is good and fragrant. What did you use to cook it?" After taking a sip of the soup, they all agreed.Li Wen picked several kinds of medicinal materials and said that this is the secret recipe for their soup, and they can't tell others all of them.

"Is this restaurant opened by you?" Situ Yu felt that the food made by the imperial dining room in the palace was not as fragrant as this soup.

Li Wen nodded and said, "If you have nothing to do, just mess around. If you eat it this time and think it's delicious, you can come directly next time. If you come down, if you don't have a place, just report my name directly, and I can give it to you. [-]% off.,,

These young masters didn't know how to eat at first, but they learned it after seeing someone make it.The freshly scooped meatballs are dipped in chili sauce, and they are delicious and hot after a bite, but people can't help but keep eating.

When they tasted the fun of eating hot pot, they started to do it themselves.

Hot pot was being cooked in the box, and they were sweating while eating, but it was very refreshing.

The guests and hosts had a great time eating this meal, and several young masters all said that they would come again next time.

When they left the store after eating, Li Wen sent them downstairs, and Situ Yu asked him, "I want to play with you next time, where can I find you?"

"Just go to Liuyuan Mansion and find me." Li Wen said with a smile.

"Oh, okay, I have time to go and play with you." Situ Yu and his friends got into the carriage.

After sitting in the carriage, someone remembered and asked, "Could that be Li Liuyuan just now?" Some people here have heard of Li Liuyuan's name, but this is the first time they have seen him, so it's no wonder they don't recognize him anymore.

Li Liuyuan?Who is the best reader in Dacheng?Sounds amazing.

So on the way back, several young masters talked about Li Liuyuan one after another.

It happened that they were full just now, so Li Wen suggested that they go for a walk together, Zhao Xiangyi nodded, and the two of them walked back together.

There was a strong wind at night, which just blew away the smell and heat of eating hot pot in the house just now. Li Wen asked about the young princes just now, and from Zhao Xiangyi's words, he knew that the princess was Situ Yu's sister. In other words, Situ Yu is the brother-in-law of His Highness the Crown Prince.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince becomes the emperor and the Crown Princess becomes the Empress, this one will definitely be the uncle of the country.

"Oh, so that's the case." Li Wen nodded, as if he had figured out the relationship.The pass in the capital

The system is intricate, and the rich and powerful families who come up have a layer of in-law relationship in it, so the water in the capital is deep, and I don't know who I have offended if I am not careful.

"How did you and Situ Yu meet?" Zhao Xiangyi asked.

Li Wen said that the person sitting opposite him during the exam was Situ Yu. He didn't expect that the other party would still remember him after such a long time.

Zhao Xiangyi nodded, he understood.

"It's cool at night, let's go back in a carriage." They walked for a while, Zhao Xiangyi said.

"Okay." Li Wen didn't object. After walking for a while, he felt a little cold, so they got into the carriage behind.

In the night, the wheels of the carriage turned, the axles and reels rattled, and the horseshoes clattered...
