Tuochuan Street is as sparsely populated as ever.

In fact, the street with the smallest number of households in the entire Jianyi City, except for the old street that is really unpopulated, that is, Tuochuan Street, there are only a few dozen households here, most of which are elderly widows, and even fewer of them have children, and there was originally a Ah Qi and A Xiao as companions.

Now there are two children, Ah Xiao and Ah Jie.

Therefore, the widows of Tuochuan Street are very fond of these two children who belong to them in Tuochuan Street.

Ah Xiao and Su Jie walked to the stone road that had not been taken care of for a long time and had grown moss, and saw from a distance that the three aunts of Liu Zhangwang had just come back together.

Aunt Liu is the oldest, she looks a little old, but her heart is the most kind, Ah Xiao remembers that she doesn't even dare to kill chickens during the holidays on weekdays, and there is a statue of a god that has been blackened by candles at home, Su Jie once joked that this fairy is too pitiful, not even a little meat has been touched, if he can run, he will not be able to be a fairy in your house!

Aunt Zhang has the loudest voice and is also extremely arrogant, Ah Xiao thinks that Su Jie's voice may be learning from her, Su Qiujing also scolded him, he is not good at studying in the school, and he came to learn some things like this kind of country woman.

Aunt Wang is the youngest, but she loves to drink, and according to Fan Yan, it is rumored that she has a leg with Boss Chen, the owner of the Chen Family Tavern.

Ah Xiao also felt that there was a possibility, because every time he saw Aunt Wang go to the Chen Family Tavern, the innkeeper who originally looked beautiful suddenly became like she was going to eat people, and her eyes were very big, although Aunt Wang didn't speak when she went to drink, but every time she drank, the wine in Aunt Wang's wine pot seemed to be more full than the wine in other people's pots.

"Hello three aunts. ”

Ah Xiao shouted respectfully, after all, these three people have been very good to themselves since they were children, and they all regard themselves as their own children.

"Where did you come from, three aunts?" Su Jie shouted to the three women who came out of the alley.

"We've just come out of your father's room. Aunt Wang twisted her still young waist, and slowly walked over with a smile following the steps of the ladies in the county.

"Tut-tut, go to my house, which sister in the Pinxiang Pavilion on Fuxi Street is not much more handsome than you!" Su Jie quipped.

"Okay, you, you dare to make this kind of joke with your aunt at a young age, if you don't learn well when you are a child, what's wrong when you grow up!" Aunt Wang's face changed when she heard this, and she ran over and made a gesture to hit Su Jie.

The woman ran Su Jie all over the ground.

Ah Xiao and Liu Zhang stood aside and watched with relish, Aunt Liu first spoke happily: "Ah Jie is compatible with Xiao Wang, I still like our Ah Xiao, Sister Zhang, come and take a look, I haven't seen you for a few days, this child is getting more and more handsome." ”

After speaking, he didn't forget to pinch Ah Xiao's face.

Aunt Zhang also agreed, and said: "It's really a noble person's species! If you put on a brocade robe, you will definitely be three points more expensive than the little fat man of the Li family!"

Aunt Liu said disdainfully: "Where is the little fat man of the Li family who is a little extravagant, wearing a brocade robe, but like a little guinea pig learning to walk." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, Aunt Liu, you said this well!"

Su Jie responded loudly, "That guy, he eats so fat, he really looks like a pig! He is also called Qiwu, Mr. said that the phoenix is perched on the Wutong, that guy is like a pig, it should be called Dolphin Wu!"

"Hahahaha~"

The three aunts couldn't help laughing, even Ah Xiao laughed, Ah Xiao patted Su Jie's shoulder, held back the laughter in his heart, and whispered: "Don't be so loud, wait for someone to hear it and reach his ears, you two will fight again." ”

"Who's afraid of him? I can press him to the ground with one hand!" Su Jie's tone seemed very relaxed.

For so many days, Su Jie's body has already been trained by his father to be quite strong, and ordinary children can be overturned with one hand.

"What about bragging, I saw you beaten up by him some time ago, and your eyes were swollen, this is not fake, right?" Aunt Wang covered her mouth and smiled.

"Well, that's because he called people!"

Su Jie's tone was quite dissatisfied, "Originally, he was beaten to the ground by me, who knew that he called six or seven people to hold my hands and feet down, and I couldn't use my strength, if he dared to come alone, I wouldn't break his legs!"

"Just his few people, if it weren't for the large number of people, I would really not be afraid, and when the first test of the martial arts test the year after tomorrow came, a few of them would not be able to make a few moves in my hands, and I would definitely be the leader of our Jianyi City at that time!"

There are two ways to recruit talents in Daqin, one is the literary examination, and the other is the martial examination. The literary examination is divided into two subjects, the Ming Classics course examines students' knowledge of scriptures and argumentation, and the number theory course examines students' ability to calculate and solve.

The requirements for the literary examination are too high, and Jianyi City is a small rural town, so there are basically no students here who are willing to go to school, so Jianyi City can't produce a few people who can be admitted to Yi'an County Taixue University a year.

And the martial arts test is the way out for these small town children, and there are also special physical arts gentlemen in the school, compared to the boring scriptures, these children who study in the school naturally like the martial arts test. Su Jie naturally doesn't like literature, in martial arts, Su Qiujing really thinks that he is a manufacturable material, and he has laid a very solid foundation early, waiting for the quadrennial civil and military test.

At that time, Yi'an County will send supervision envoys to recruit students from all counties under its jurisdiction, and those who pass the assessment will be recruited into the county Taixuefu, and after four years in the county, the Huainan Hou Mansion will also send supervision envoys to the county Taixue to recruit students, and the assessment is also divided into two kinds, repeating this link, and then going up, it is to go to the highest institution of learning in the entire Great Qin State - the Imperial Capital Tai Academy.

Sui Han once said that the Imperial Capital Tai Academy is the paradise of all the geniuses of the Great Qin Kingdom, and the geniuses of Confucianism, Kendo, Buddha, Martial Dao, and Immortal Dao will gather there, and the teachings inside are even more powerful, and even the ordinary teachings are at least monks in the Qi Sea realm.

Ah Xiao had heard Chen Laohu, who taught literature and classics in the school, said that he had only studied in the Taixue Mansion in Yi'an County back then, and had not been to Huainan City, let alone the imperial capital, if he found one from the entire Jianyi City who had been to the imperial capital, Ah Xiao would only know Uncle Jiang.

"Then I'll wait for you, this kid, to go to the imperial capital and become a general to glorify your ancestors?"

"By the way, and Ah Xiao. ”

Aunt Wang turned around and said jokingly, "I heard the gentleman from the school say, Ah Xiao, your literary test results are excellent every time, then I will wait for you to be admitted to the imperial capital, ranking among the third dukes, and when the time comes, our small city will have a civil minister and a military general, and then it will have a good reputation as the hometown of civil and military affairs hahaha......

The other two women also coaxed together, pulling that they were going to ask for money now, Ah Xiao and Su Jie finally broke free, and the two trotted to the edge of the dock, which had already been cleaned by the people of the county government.

At this time, five or six officials were already arranging the venue next to it, and they were constantly moving wooden statues of gods, as well as dim brass tripods and other objects from the county temple next to the county office, and one of the young men who was resting was sitting on the ground bare-chested and smoking dry tobacco, raised his head, and saw Su Jie and A Xiao, and said in surprise: "Yo, isn't this the Su family boy and A Xiao! Why haven't you gone to Hexi yet?"

"Something on the way was delayed for a while. Su Jiedu put a hippie smile on his face and asked, "Brother Ding Yi, have you seen where my father went?"

"Master Su is with the county lord and the one from the Li family, as for where he went, I still don't know, maybe he is still helping in the temple. By the way, your father said that the boat would come later, but you haven't come here for so long, I thought you and Ah Xiao had already passed,"

Ding Yi took another puff, spit out a smoke ring, looked at Ah Xiao, and asked, "How is your old man?" I haven't seen him for a long time. ”

Ah Xiao scratched his head, "Grandpa said that he was going to Huainan City recently, and it would take a long time to come back." ”

Ding Yi sighed and said: "It's really an old Taoist, I can go anywhere, I am relaxed, unlike me, for so many years, in order to save some money to get a daughter-in-law, I stay in the county government every day, and the farthest is to go to the next few counties, and I haven't been to Huainan City." ”

As if thinking of something, Ding Yi put down the pipe and said, "Then he left you here alone?"

"Well, I usually live at home, Ah Jie and I go to the school together in the morning, I have money, I don't have to worry about eating, sometimes I go to the aunt's house next to me to eat, or I go to Su Jie's house to eat. ”

"It looks like you're quiet and quiet, but I didn't expect to be quite bold, I don't dare to sleep alone like you, I have to sleep with my mother!"
