The daily routine of the ancient imperial examination

The fifth day of the new year, also known as the fifth day of the new year, breaks the taboos from the first day to the fifth day of the new year, returns to normal life, sends away the poor ghosts, and welcomes the return of the God of Wealth.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Zhang and his sister-in-law sat in the main room and started making dumplings. The round meatballs were put on the dumpling wrappers and shaped into round ingots.

While wrapping the bag, the two murmured: Hold the "little man's mouth" and bless the family with a smooth year.

After Lu Xiuyuan finished practicing calligraphy and the family had dinner, he took the dumplings packed by Mrs. Zhang, impatiently got on the bullock cart, and came to the town.

Walking in the streets and alleys, Lu Xiuyuan saw the red lanterns hanging all over the street and the smell of gunpowder smoke from the fireworks everywhere. He blocked his mouth and nose with his sleeve and accelerated his pace.

During the Chinese New Year period, he originally wanted to copy and endorse at home, but in the end, Mrs. Zhang stared at him for a week and rested for a week on the grounds of Chinese New Year. He didn't touch the books much, which made him feel a little guilty.

So he got up early in the morning and had dinner before he came to the town to study.

Crossing the streets and alleys, when he entered the bookstore, Lu Xiuyuan saw shopkeeper Lin wearing a dark red vest, sitting there fiddled with the abacus, took two steps forward to say hello, said a few auspicious words, greeted each other for a while, and then went to The room where I read before.

Walking through the aisle and bypassing the screen, Lu Xiuyuan thought it was an empty room, but instead he saw Shi Yunchen in it who said he was going to the border for the New Year.

The other party was still in a familiar posture, nestled in the chair, holding a book in one hand and hugging Tang Pozi in the other, looking extremely comfortable.

The scene in front of him made him a little surprised, "Master Shi? Why are you here? Didn't you say you were going to the border?"

When Shi Yunchen heard the words, he raised his eyes and stared at Lu Xiuyuan for a moment, "Brother wouldn't let me go to the border, and didn't want to go back to Fengzhou for the New Year, so I stayed."

Seeing that the other party was not interested, Lu Xiuyuan guessed that it must be lonely in the town for the new year. Although he didn't know why the other party didn't want to go to Fengzhou, he tactfully didn't ask.

In order to ease the atmosphere, he started to change the subject, and when it came time to talk about a little story of his own during the Chinese New Year, Lu Xiuyuan threw out the main plot and character settings, and after a few words, Shi Yunchen was really attracted.

Seeing the other person's expression, Lu Xiuyuan also felt a sense of accomplishment as the story he told changed. When Shi Yunchen's emotions were completely mobilized by the story, his story was finished.

Shi Yunchen's expression was still unfinished.

Lu Xiuyuan didn't care about the other party, just put down his luggage silently, started to find out the books he read years ago, and continued to read and study, he was almost able to skim through them all.

Seeing that the other party was about to sink into his study again, Shi Yunchen hurried over, wanting him to tell another story.

Lu Xiuyuan pointed to the book in a principled manner, "I'll finish it right away, and I'll talk about it after I finish it."

Shi Yunchen had no choice but to sit back on the chair and stare at Lu Xiuyuan eagerly studying.

Seeing Shi Yunchen's movements from the corner of the eye, a smile flashed in Lu Xiuyuan's heart, "If Master Shi is really bored, we can come out to play together after a few days for the lantern festival."

Shi Yunchen was taken aback, this Lu Xiucai is inviting him to watch the lantern?

My heart turned a thousand times, and my thoughts turned.

Is he trying to imply something to himself through the lanterns?

But the other party doesn't know his identity, is he just looking at himself as boring?That's why you invited yourself to enjoy the lanterns?

Hasn't Lu Xiucai heard of the willow shoots on the moon, and people make appointments after dusk.Is this poem describing the Lantern Festival in Shangyuan?

He reads so many books every day, so there is no reason for him to understand this poem?No matter how disturbed Shi Yunchen was, the lanterns would arrive as scheduled.

The ancient lamp market lasted for a long time, from the eighth day to the fifteenth day.

On the eighth day of the eighth day, before the sun set, Xiao Lian kept holding his sister-in-law's hand and urged, "Mom! It's getting dark! When are we going to town? Why don't we go now, just in time !"

His sister-in-law poked Xiaolian's forehead with a smile, "What's the rush, wait until Xingjun is over before going."

Xiao Lian covered her forehead, curled her lips in aggrieved manner, and stomped to the next door to find Lu Xiuyuan.

"Uncle, Uncle!"

Lu Xiuyuan was upgrading Xiaolian's lantern, when he heard the other party calling him, he put down the paste in his hand, and responded, "What's wrong, Xiaolian."

The little girl wanted to rush in to complain, but when she saw the lantern in Lu Xiuyuan's hands, she jumped up happily.

"It's a rabbit lamp! Uncle is awesome! What he makes is better than my dad's!"

Lu Xiuyuan quickly made a "hush" expression at the other party, "Keep your voice down, so you won't be afraid that your father won't take you to town if he hears it?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lian covered her mouth in fright, shook her head, and said vaguely: "I didn't say anything just now."

Seeing the little girl's appearance, Lu Xiuyuan laughed.

The sun finally set in the midst of Xiaolian's constant prayers, and the sky was slightly darkened. The family sacrificed to Xingjun, changed into new clothes, and went to the town to participate in the lantern festival together.

Mrs. Zhang was getting old, and she didn't have enough rest in the past two days, so she didn't go, and finally the four of them set off together.

At this point in time, everyone had finished offering sacrifices to King Xing, dozens of people came out of the village one after another, and everyone simply got together and went to the town.

In the crowd, Lu Xiuyuan also saw Li Shun, who stopped driving the ox cart, changed into a new suit, and rushed to the front with great excitement.

"I'm going to meet the little lady at last year's Lantern Festival, so I won't go with you." After finishing speaking, he ran to the front.

Although Xiao Lian didn't understand the meaning of Li Shun's words, but when she saw the other party rushing to the front, she anxiously tugged at her mother's arm, "Mom! Let's hurry up too! Hurry up."

Everyone was amused by Xiaolian's performance, "Don't worry about you, Uncle Li, the lantern market will be open all night, let's not worry."

Xiao Lian looked at everyone suspiciously, and in the end it was Lu Xiuwu who lifted Xiao Lian over his head, let her ride on his neck, and waited obediently.

A group of people, just talking and laughing like this, are also traveling very fast.

When she arrived at the town immediately, Xiao Lian looked at the two big koi lanterns in the center of the town from a distance, she shook her legs excitedly, "Father! Go faster! I have already seen The lanterns are on!"

His elder brother quickly reached out to support Xiao Lian, "Sit still and don't sway."

The little girl stuck out her tongue and continued to wave her arms at the lantern.

Under Xiao Lian's continuous urging, his elder brother had no choice but to speed up his pace.

When a group of people arrived at the entrance of the town, they all dispersed and went shopping in different places.

His elder brother also put Xiaolian down, and as soon as the little girl landed on the ground, she couldn't wait to grab the rabbit lamp in her mother's hand, took it over and cheered, and ran towards the lamp market.

When his sister-in-law saw this, she was frightened and hurriedly chased after her, "Xiao Lian, run slowly, don't let the person who shoots Huazi abduct her!"

His elder brother panicked when he saw this, and quickly patted Lu Xiuyuan on the shoulder, "Erlang, you are not young anymore, if you see a suitable girl, take the initiative! Brother, go first..." Before finishing speaking, The man turned his head and hurriedly chased after his wife.

Lu Xiuyuan stood where he was, looking at the town in front of him as bright as daylight illuminated by the lanterns, and people's laughter filled his ears, and even the smell of fireworks from the tip of his nose was not so annoying.

Thinking of the agreement with a certain young master, he decided to make a disguise first.

When Lu Xiuyuan saw Yunchen that day, he was in a low mood, and he didn't have time to coax him by reading a book. Thinking of how many times the other party had invited him to dinner, he decided to go to the lantern festival together to relieve his boredom.

Unexpectedly, the other party felt that going to the Lantern Festival was not exciting enough, so he insisted on betting with him that whoever would recognize the other party first at the crowded lantern festival on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year would be the winner, and he could make a request to the loser, and the other party would not be able to refuse .

Judging from the situation that day, if Shi Yunchen won, he would definitely ask himself not to read the book and tell him a story, right?

If it develops like this, the story in his mind will definitely be taken out by the other party, so what will he rely on to make money in the future?

Thinking of this, Lu Xiuyuan stopped hesitating and quickened his pace.

He first went to the stall next door, bought an orc mask with blue face and fangs, put it on his head to cover his face, and after tidying up, he went to the busiest place to look for people.

According to his speculation, the most lively place in the Lantern Festival should be the side of the two big koi lanterns in the middle of the town. Shi Yunchen likes to be lively, so he will definitely go there.

Lu Xiuyuan shuttled through the crowd, the streets and alleys were full of people, there were beating gongs and drums everywhere, the sound was loud, and there were fireworks scattered all over the sky, full of festive atmosphere.

He first came to a lion dance performance place, looked at the performance twice, and the crowd around couldn't stop applauding, but he couldn't find Shi Yunchen in the crowd, so he turned around and went to the next place.

Standing shoulder to shoulder in the street, everyone was holding a lantern, which made Lu Xiuyuan look a bit out of place. After thinking about it for a while, he chose to do as the Romans do, and carry a lantern himself.

He looked around a few times, and noticed the place where the lantern riddles were guessing at a glance.

Push away the blocking crowd and walk over like that.

The place where lantern riddles were guessed was very lively, and many lovers came and went chatting in front of the lanterns, and the atmosphere was full of ambiguity.

Lu Xiuyuan picked a relatively unchildish little lotus lantern from the stall, and opened his riddle.

Don't worry about the fireworks. After thinking about it for a while, I figured it out. The answer is yes.

After taking the lotus lantern handed over by the boss, he continued to look for people at the lantern fair.

It's just that after searching for a long time, Shi Yunchen's figure hasn't been seen for a long time. He won't be let down by the other party, right?

Lu Xiuyuan thought that there was indeed such a possibility, and sighed, so he bought this mask for nothing?

Just when he was about to give up and plan to go shopping by himself, he felt a pat on the back of his shoulder.

Turning back in doubt, I saw Shi Yunchen dressed up, smiling brightly at him.

"Lu Xiucai! I found you!"

Lu Xiuyuan stared at the delicate face of the other party, his mind was a little dazed, he was stunned for a moment before he realized, and said in surprise: "I made a disguise, how did you recognize me?"

When Shi Yunchen heard the words, he covered his mouth and snickered, "Lu Xiucai, you are so stupid, who still wears a mask on Shangyuan Festival now? You dress up like this and stand in the crowd, so that the young master will not notice you." Disaster."

At this moment, Lu Xiuyuan saw a child next to him about to bump into Shi Yunchen, so he quickly stretched out his hand to prevent him from being hit by the child.

Shi Yunchen followed his movements and moved to the side, and continued: "You are still carrying such a naive lotus lantern, something that only three-year-olds play with, Lu Xiucai, are you reminiscing about your childhood?"

It turned out that it was because of its strange shape that it exposed its whereabouts.

Since there was a mistake in the plan, Lu Xiuyuan simply followed the plan, and looked at Shi Yunchen with a meaningful expression, "Master Shi is so smart, how could he not guess that Lu deliberately let you win?"

"What, what, did you do it on purpose?" Shi Yunchen finished speaking, thinking of the bet, did Lu Xiucai lose on purpose, and wanted to make demands on him?

Thinking of this request, his face gradually turned crimson. This Lu Xiucai, who is not doing his job all day long, is full of schemers!

When Lu Xiuyuan heard that Yunchen's voice gradually became smaller, he couldn't help taking off his mask, because he always felt that he couldn't hear clearly with the mask on.

But the other party's tone was really vague, he couldn't help but glance at Shi Yunchen, and found that the other party's face seemed to be getting redder and redder?Is it because of winning, excited?

"What request does Young Master Shi want to make?" Lu Xiuyuan asked.

After hearing this, Shi Yunchen turned his eyes around nervously, opened and closed his mouth, and finally said: "Let's go to the Lantern Festival first, and you can ask for it anytime."

"Alright." Lu Xiuyuan nodded in agreement. When he saw that Yun Chen was empty-handed, he handed over the lotus lantern in his hand, "Going to the lantern festival, how can we do without lanterns? This is something Lu specially won to give away. For Master Shi."

Shi Yunchen looked at the lotus lantern with disdain, "Just this lantern, Lu Xiucai, you are so kind as to give it away."

Seeing this, Lu Xiuyuan spread his hands helplessly, "Master Shi dislikes it, so just throw it away." He made a gesture to throw it away.

"Hey, hey..." Shi Yunchen quickly reached out to stop him, "You will be fined for throwing lanterns in the town, so I will force you to hold them for you!" After finishing speaking, he snatched the lotus lantern from Lu Xiuyuan's hand, and Carry and lead the way ahead.

Lu Xiuyuan followed behind. In order to prevent being scattered by the crowd, he grabbed Shi Yunchen's sleeve and made a suggestion: "I just saw that there are tree flower hunters in the northwest. Let's go there first to see tree flower hunters."

Shi Yunchen turned his head, smiling broadly, "Then the young master will take you to see the tree flower first."

The author has something to say: the temperature is gradually heating up, and it takes [-] words to write about intimate contact, which is too long, so I developed it separately and worked hard to write the second half.

Also, don't scold the author, or the author will cry for you.hum~
