The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

When we arrived at the place where we stayed at night, Li Wen asked the little boy to bring over two clean clothes, handed the clothes to the dirty-faced kid, and said, "Take these two clothes for the time being, they might be a little too big , When you go to a bigger town, you can buy clothes there, and then I will buy you two suitable clothes."

None of them was as tall as Xiaoyue's. This child was probably malnourished, and besides being young, he was thin and small.Xiaotong is the smallest among them, and they are half a head taller than Xiaoyue, so this dress will definitely be too big for Xiaoyue to wear.

But they couldn't find suitable clothes for Xiaoyue here, so Li Wen had to ask Xiaotong to bring over two sets of clothes for him to make do with.Now that he decided to keep him, Li Wen couldn't stand a dirty brat by their side, he was still a bit of a clean freak.

"No, no need, this is already very good." Xiaoyue took the clothes in a daze, thinking of her dirty appearance, and the tattered clothes on her body were covered with pudding, her face turned red.Fortunately, at this moment, her face was so dirty that she couldn't see its original appearance, and no one else knew that she was blushing.

"Since you have decided to follow me, then you have to listen to me in the future. If not, I will send you away." He has no rules, but he is not completely unruly.Li Wen didn't mention the child's past stealing, nor did he ask about his past. He believed that people are not born bad, but must be caused by the acquired environment and various factors.

It doesn't matter if a person did something wrong in the past, the important thing is to correct it in the future.

But if this person would bring him unnecessary trouble, Li Wen would not keep him by his side, so if he wanted to stay by his side, he had to be prepared to stay.

"Yes, yes, young master, don't drive me away, I will definitely listen to you." When she heard that young master would send her away, Xiaoyue immediately became nervous.

"I don't want to drive you away now. If you want to stay, just behave well. I'm not a person who is too demanding. You don't have to be too nervous." He has already given the opportunity. As for whether you cherish it or not, it's up to you own up.

Li Wen gave instructions to the little boy beside him, "Xiaoyue will leave it to you. If there is anything Xiaoyue doesn't understand, you are responsible for telling him."

"Yes." Li Tong looked at the other party with scrutiny in his eyes. He was the only one who waited by the young master's side all the time. Now that there was another person suddenly, Xiao Tong was a little wary of the other party in his heart, for fear that the other party would snatch him away. Serving the young master's work.

But at the same time, he also felt that there is a first-come first-come-first-served basis for everything. How can he say that he came first, and the other party came later? He has been with the young master for so long, and the young master must be more used to him.

But it wouldn't be a bad thing if there was one more person to serve the young master. Thinking about it this way, Li Tong looked at Xiaoyue with a much kinder look, and he wanted to train him well so that he could serve the young master well with him.

At this moment, Li Wen didn't know what his little book boy was thinking, so he handed him over to the little book boy to take care of him, and at the same time told the child, "Xiaoyue, what do you not understand? , you can tell Xiaotong, Xiaotong will help you."

"Well, son, Xiaoyue knows." She knew that the young master is a good person. After the old beggar left, no one treated her so well. Xiaoyue's eyes suddenly turned red, she sniffed, She thought that she would follow the young master, work hard, and not give the young master a chance to drive her away.

After handing over the people to Li Tong to arrange, Li Wen no longer cares about them.

When Lu Zhishu saw that his friend took in the thief who stole from him that day, although he didn't agree with it in his heart, he didn't say anything against it.

"Do you think it's strange for me to keep him?" Although Lu Zhishu didn't say anything, Li Wen could still see such doubts in the way the other party looked at him. He smiled and said, "He's just a It’s just a poor child, I believe that if given the choice, everyone would want to be a good person. It’s not terrible if he takes the wrong path, as long as he is willing to correct it and try another path.”

"Since he chose to follow me, I'll give him a chance. Maybe it's just a sentence for me, but for that child, it may change his life."

So this is the reason why Li Wen is willing to keep the other party, not only because he sees this child as pitiful, but also because he can see that this child is smart, a smart person, he may achieve something on the right path, It may also go to extremes on a wrong path.

If a hand can change the life of this child, Li Wen is willing to extend such a hand to give him a hand.

It is such a truth that people are not sages and sages.

Hearing Li Wen's words, Lu Zhishu nodded and said, "If you want to keep him, you can do so." This is tantamount to agreeing with Li Wen's decision to keep him, and the little dislike for the little beggar in his heart is also true. Gone.

A smile appeared on Li Wen's face, the two of them looked at each other, Lu Zhishu looked away and looked away.

For the extra person in the team, after Zhao Xiangyi judged that this person did not pose any threat to Li Liuyuan's safety, General Zhao didn't even give him a stingy look.

There are more than 30 of them in a group. Whenever they settle in the inn, they often have insufficient rooms, so they usually share a room with three or two people. Li Wen lived in the same room with Zhao Xiangyi all the way. The individual becomes a constant bed partner on the road.

Li Tong was relieved that his young master chose someone else to live with him.

It's fine if their young master went to harm others and didn't come to harm him. He didn't want to sleep soundly in the middle of the night and be kicked out of bed. He would rather sleep on the floor than share the same bed with his young master.But every time the young master would drag him to the bed to sleep together. If the young master hadn't closed his eyes when he got him out of bed in the middle of the night, Xiao Tong would have suspected that the young master did it on purpose.

They lived in the same room with Zhao Xiangyi. When Li Wen woke up in the morning, he was the only one on the bed, and Zhao Xiangyi got up early.The two have lived together so many times, and Li Wen has never heard the other party complain about his poor sleeping posture. Li Wen even suspects that since he and Zhao Xiangyi shared the same room, his sleeping posture has been corrected.

Waking up in the morning, Li Wen found himself still in bed, had a good night's sleep, and was in a good mood the next day.

"You...you are?" When he went downstairs the next day and saw Xiaoyue appearing in front of him, Li Wen still couldn't recognize the child. The child's face was clean and white, and he slapped him With a big face and big eyes, I didn't expect to find such a good-looking child on the side of the road.

It’s just that he’s a bit small, skinny, and looks malnourished, but when he thinks about the days that children lived in the past, it’s good to be able to survive, and how well can they be raised?

It doesn't matter, if you give him more food in the future, he will gain weight sooner or later, that's all, Li Wen made up his mind.

Li Wen stared at the child's face, but he always felt that something was wrong?

"Young master, young master." Xiaoyue changed her name and called the young master. Seeing the young master staring at her, she lowered her head a little guilty.

"Hehe, doesn't it look good after washing your face? It's pretty good." Li Wen just thought that the other party was shy, and didn't think about other things. He said, "Find a place to sit down and eat something. , we will set off after eating in a while."

Seeing that the seat between Zhao Xiangyi and Lu Zhishu was empty, knowing that it was reserved for him, Li Wen sat down, greeted everyone, and began to eat breakfast.

After breakfast, they hurried on the road.

Xiaoyue stayed smoothly.

It's just that Xiaoyue was always a little nervous when she shared a room with Li Tong at night, but after staying there for a few nights and no one found anything, Xiaoyue let go of that nervousness.

Near the middle of May, they arrived at Nanyang Mansion.

For such a long journey from Beijing to Nanyang, it usually takes about 20 to [-] days to ride a horse-drawn carriage.Because the horses and chariots on their road were going fast this time, they arrived at Nanyang Mansion in less than half a month.

Their carriage entered the city, walking on the busy street, Li Wen raised the curtain of the carriage to look outside, and saw the familiar scenery on the street.He has been away from here for a few months, but he feels like he has been away for several years. Li Wen sighed and said, "I really miss this place. I have only been away for a short time, but it feels like I have been away for a long time. .,'

"Zhishu, you haven't been to Nanyang for a long time, right?" Turning around, Li Wen asked the people in the car.

"Well, it's been a few years." Lu Zhishu's eyes looked out the window. He only studied in Nanyang for more than a year before being sent to the capital by his family, so he didn't have too deep feelings for Nanyang City.

However, for Li Wen, Nanyang is not only the place where he has studied for so many years, but also his second home. He feels like coming home now when he comes back.

The group of them first arrived at the inn in the city. Li Wen went upstairs to wash up briefly, changed into clean clothes, and prepared to go to Dean Fu's.He went to the capital to take the exam after the year, and he only came back half a year after he left. He hasn't seen Dean Fu for several months. I don't know if Dean Fu missed him.

Li Wen couldn't help but smile when he thought of the teacher who was so stubborn and always disliked him.

"Zhishu, I'm going to the teacher's place, do you want to go with me?" Li asked Lu Zhishu if he wanted to go with him.

"Well, Yu Li, I should go to visit Mr. Dean, I will go with you." When Lu Zhishu was studying in Nanyang, he was lucky enough to meet Dean Fu. They are all students of Anlu Academy. Nanyang, he should

Go to visit Dean Fu with your friends.

"To see Master Fu, how could we be missing?" Xie Yunfei followed with a smile on his face.Zhao Xiangyi followed behind silently. This man did not tell Li Liuyuan that he and His Royal Highness were both students taught by Master Fu himself, but Master Fu did not necessarily want to see him.

Leaving the rest of the people to stay in the inn, Li Wen, Lu Zhishu and Zhao Xiangyi left the inn and went to Fu's residence.
