August golden autumn, the tenth day of the first month, the capital city of Huizhou. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The sunset had already set behind the vast green hills, but it refused to sink, bursting out of the orange-red afterglow from behind the shadow lines of the mountains, and the sky was magnificent and picturesque.

Yuliang Street, the whole street is paved with pebbles of the same color, resembling fish scales, also known as "Yuliang Street", it is the only way for Hui merchants to go out and go out, and it is also the only way for officials to go in and out. There are many forks in Yuliang Street leading to the river, narrow bluestone slabs, and gradually descending along the stone steps to Yuliang Dam.

The houses on both sides of the street are mostly blue bricks and gray tiles and horse-head walls, which are black and white, and they are scattered. The houses inside the gate of the mansion are more exquisite and luxurious, with cornices coming out, cloisters hanging down, carved beams and painted windows...... There are wood, stone and brick carvings everywhere, and they are magnificent!

The Gongyuan in the southeast of the city is holding a township test.

At this moment, the first one is coming to an end.

Many people were waiting at the gate of the Tribute Courtyard.

When the time came, the candidates who had been suffering for three days dragged out of the room with tired steps, and their faces were tired. Liang Xinming tied a gray cloth scarf on his head, wore a blue and gray robe, and a cloth belt around his waist, with a slender figure and a handsome face like jade. Under the horizontal eyebrows, the apricot eyes are long, close to olive-shaped, shrouded in long eyelashes, the eyes are dark and deep and blurry, the bridge of the nose is delicate and straight, the tip of the nose is round, and the red lips below cover the teeth.

A clear and handsome young man, gentle and moist as a jade scholar!

He raised his eyes to look at the gate of the Tribute Courtyard, and saw a petite and delicate young woman crowded in front of the crowd, with a blue cloth towel wrapped around her head, and a little girl of two or three years old leaning in front of her, who was stretching out her head to look at this side, and couldn't help but smile and speed up her steps to walk over.

Li Huiniang saw that everyone else was wrinkled and disheveled, and her complexion was sluggish, but Liang Xinming was refreshing and calm, as if he had not been tormented in the room for three days, but came back from wandering, and couldn't help but smile proudly, without asking, he knew that he did well in the exam.

When he came to him, Liang Xinming first smiled and asked, "How long have you been waiting?" Then he handed the basket in his hand to Li Huiniang, leaned over and hugged Xiao Chaoyun, touched his daughter's little face affectionately, and Chaoyun called sweetly "Daddy." Wrap your hand around his neck.

Li Huiniang smiled happily: "I just came." ”

In fact, their mother and daughter came early.

Liang Xinming said: "Let's go." ”

A family of three took to the street.

The other candidates who took the exam looked at Liang Xinming with envy: After three days of taking the exam, they can still maintain such calmness, either a straw bag or a confident mind, Liang Xinming's temperament, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a straw bag, which means that the test is very good.

Alas, people are more angry than people!

But they are too tired, they are even jealous and weak, and at the moment those who have money ride in the carriage and those who are poor have hurried home, and they will continue to take the exam tomorrow.

Liang Xinming is actually tired.

He is not an iron body, and after three days in the number room, how can he not be tired at all? Just saying that he can't sleep peacefully is enough to bear. But he is good at adjusting himself, the more tired he is, the more he has to relax, and he can feel better if he collapses his face and shoulders?

He slowed down and looked across the street.

If it is normal, the shops on the side of the street are about to close, and the hawkers should go home, but isn't this the Gongyuan holding a township test, there are many people coming and going, and the traders are about to do another wave of business when the market is over, so it is very lively.

There are especially many snacks that are sold.

Xiao Chaoyun stared at it with a blank eye.

Li Huiniang tightly tugged at Liang Xinming's sleeve and whispered: "The meal is ready, and I also killed a chicken." Let's go, don't buy anything. ”

She knew Liang Xinming's temperament very well, and saw him looking left and right, for fear that he would buy food for his daughter. In her opinion, there was no need at all, and they didn't have that spare money.

Liang Xinming saw that Xiao Chaoyun listened to his mother's words, lowered his head and picked his fingers, as if he was ashamed of what he had just looked, and then didn't look at those food stalls, his bright eyes dimmed, and he turned his feet to the baked cake stall and said, "Let's have a baked cake." ”

The stall owner smiled and said, "Okay." A baked cake!" sandwiched a baked cake with a bamboo tong, put it in a paper bag, and handed it to Liang Xinming, "Two pennies." ”

This baked cake is also known as crab shell yellow baked cake, baked to the yellow, the filling is made of dried plum vegetables and diced meat, the outer skin is sprinkled with sesame seeds, the layers are crispy, the inside is fresh and fragrant, the taste brings together fragrant, sweet, spicy, crispy, crispy, it is a famous dim sum in Huizhou Mansion.

Li Huiniang couldn't stop it, so she took out two pennies and paid it indifferently. The husband has already spoken, and in front of people, she will not refuse.

Xiao Chaoyun was holding the still hot baked cake, and his happy little face was red and bright.

Liang Xinming smiled slightly, and said softly: "Be careful to eat, don't sprinkle yourself." ”

Xiao Chaoyun said sensibly: "Go home and eat." "Then you can catch it with a bowl.

Liang Xinming nodded, hugged her and came to the stall next door.

Li Huiniang came over to take a look, this stall is selling women's hair flowers, hairpins, earrings and other items, although it is not as valuable as a serious silver building, it is not a penny or two business. She was very anxious and didn't know what Liang Xinming was going to do. Do you want to buy a flower for your daughter? I don't need it at all, how old Chaoyun is!

The stall owner was an old man, and when he saw them coming, he hurriedly said, "What kind of jewelry does this son want to buy for his daughter-in-law?" Don't look at the old man's stall is small, but it is an ancestral craft. Our small family has a small capital and cannot afford to open a silver building, so we set up a stall to sell; if we have the capital, these things and these styles will not be at this price if they are left in the silver building. He said as he waved his hand over the dazzling array of ornaments.

Li Huiniang preemptively said: "Well, the old man's things look very good." How do you sell it?" she thought, if she didn't buy it, she couldn't show her timidity, and it was natural to ask about the market and praise people a few words; if she didn't even dare to look at it, it would be too petty.

The old man was in good spirits and was busy explaining to her one by one: how to sell this hairpin, how to sell that hairpin, and how to sell the head flower......

Liang Xinming held his daughter with one hand, picked up a silver hairpin carved with three plum blossoms and two buds with the other hand, and asked the old man: "How to sell this?"

The old man hurriedly said: "Although this is small, it takes a lot of work to do." See how delicate it is, it is all ancestral craftsmanship. It only costs 800 words. ”

Li Huiniang looked at Liang Xinming.

She couldn't pretend anymore.

I can't afford it, so it's useless to ask.

Liang Xinming coughed lightly as if he didn't see her eyes, and looked at the old man with handsome eyes and said: "The old man put this stall at the gate of the Gongyuan, and he also wants to bring some blessings to his children and grandchildren, right? The gentleman did not say anything, but told the old man the truth: I don't have so much money in Xia, and I want to buy this hairpin for my good wife, and thank her for taking care of the housework and raising my daughter for me. If the old man is willing to sell it to the next at a lower price, and wait for the day of the list, if he wins a good ranking in the next place, he will write a pair of words to the old man and give it to the children and grandchildren of the house. ”

As soon as he said this, the old man's eyes widened and he looked him up and down.

Li Huiniang's heart also twitched: Can you still bargain to buy things like this? Although it is a bit shameless, it is more sincere than accepting congratulations from all parties after winning the move. Besides, Liang Xinming's words are not worth much now, but if they are in the Yuan, they will be valuable. Speaking of which, this old man is not a loss, but also took advantage of it.
