This year, the uncle is quite satisfied, except for Anzi's family of three and Laizi, everyone else has come. The family reunion for the New Year, no matter where it is, is his happiest thing. The New Year in the capital is also much more lively than their countryside, and the artillery battles from far and near are from the dawn to the dawn, only the overlapping sounds come one after another, and there is never a stop of silence in the middle. Two large red lanterns hang on the gatehouse of every house, illuminating a city that should be dark.

The uncle stood on the balcony and looked at the beautiful scenery in the east that was about to turn red at dawn, and his heart was proud and sad. This was supposed to be the blessing of the third brother, but he was allowed to enjoy it with the second brother. If the third brother and the third brother-in-law really live better than them in heaven as Xiaohu's daughter-in-law said, he can still get a little comfort in his heart, I am afraid that they will not enjoy happiness in heaven, but suffer underground.

Alas!

In addition to the Qin Mansion and the Confucian Mansion in the capital, the Wang family has no other relatives and friends to move around. Although Mr. Chen also opened a teahouse in the capital, he had already gone back for the New Year a year ago. Although the owner of Chunlin Hall lives in the capital, he is only familiar with Erya, and of course it is impossible for him, as an elder, to come to Erya to pay New Year's greetings. It is because the first month of the Wang family is relatively leisurely, and there is no need to entertain guests who come to the house every day to pay New Year's greetings.

In addition to following everyone to the Qin Mansion and the Confucian Mansion to pay New Year's greetings, Erya and Xiaohu also went to the Zhao Mansion in Chunlin Hall to pay New Year's greetings to their big boss's family, and then they were busy with the adopted children.

Xiaolong has been busy preparing for the exam, and occasionally has met Qian Zhongyun and a few other candidates on the road. Let's talk about the questions of this test.

A few children and uncles and aunts and their daughters-in-law took them around to take a look, because there are many nobles in the capital, such as princes and princes, and they are not allowed to pass through the mansion, if they don't know how to break in. There is no need for theory to send officials, maim them, or kill them. Only Lai's daughter-in-law grew up in the capital and knew where to go, even if the road was wide, she was not allowed to pass.

The second aunt also told jokes to her daughter-in-law: "The second family, your brothers tell jokes at home, saying that there are many nobles and thieves in this capital!" Ten people were knocked down with a stick, nine of them were officials and relatives of the emperor, and the remaining one was the prince. But we've been playing with you for so many days, why haven't we seen a single nobleman? These ordinary people have seen more than our family! ”

The eldest aunt also nodded beside her: "It's not!" They say the streets are full of royals. We were so scared that we didn't dare to go out. ”

The daughter-in-law covered her mouth and thought to herself, her own big buddies are really interesting. Such jokes can also be imagined. After laughing for a while, he explained to his mother-in-law: "Mother! Auntie! If you are really a nobleman, you usually rarely go out. Even if you want to go out, you have to sit in a carriage or a sedan chair, and you have to be protected by guards in front and back. Open the way. All pedestrians have to give way to one side. If you meet a very big nobleman, there are still people shouting and bowing down to the pedestrians on both sides! So! It is best not to meet nobles in the capital, and if you catch up with a hot day, or a rainy or snowy day, you will be even more guilty. You're lucky you didn't come across it! ”

"Ouch! So it's not good to live in the capital! It's better that we are comfortable at home, and we won't see the county master for decades, let alone kneel at every turn! ”

Dahong's daughter-in-law heard her mother-in-law say this, just smiled and nodded, in fact, they rarely go out in the capital, and basically take care of their children and their respective men at home. This is what the second sister-in-law who asked them to come over said in the first place. They don't have to worry about anything when they go to the capital, they just need to take care of their men. Don't let men have a valid reason to find a woman outside. Therefore, they have been here for so long and have never encountered what the fifth brother and daughter-in-law said. However, those real nobles are indeed difficult to see, and those so-called royal relatives are actually not real imperial relatives, they are all distant relatives or slaves who seek their own interests in the name of others.

The people of the Wang family have watched a lot of excitement, and no one has anything to say if the fun is good or not. However, during the 15th Lantern Festival, the streets and alleys, and even the trees on both sides of the street were hung with red red lanterns, and the whole capital was full of festive colors. Especially in the east and west, the two major downtown entrances have erected lantern shelves several feet high. I heard that the east downtown is not as good as the western downtown every year, and a new project has been added this year, that is, a colored ball was made at the top of the lantern rack for people to grab, and the colored ball and the color head were grabbed. The Wang family lives in Dongtou, which is closer to the east downtown area, and of course they have to go to see the lanterns they have never seen before.

When they arrived, the lantern rack was already surrounded by people. The children still wanted to squeeze in, but they were stopped by Erya. It is often seen on TV and in novels that this kind of lantern rack collapses, and the crowd runs and crowds, resulting in stampedes and injuries. Although this lantern shelf will not be so unlucky that it will really fall, however, the wise saying of 'a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall', Er Ya is still strictly abided by.

Before the time came, someone on the other side of the lampstand shouted, "Start!" When many people hear this shout, they know that the lottery ball grabbing has begun. The crowd also started a commotion and rushed forward. For the safety of the lantern shelf, the organizer formed a circle with a long case at a distance of about one zhang around the lantern shelf, leaving only one entrance and exit. There were several people sitting in the case, and there were paper, pens, inkstones, inkstones, and small wooden signs in front of them. I asked the person who arrived first next to me, and I found out that it was set up for the public to sign up for the lottery ball. Wen Chao, Qingzhu, Minghao, and Aoki are a few small ones, and when they see others signing up, they are also eager to go. But it was strongly stopped by Erya!

It's not that Er Ya is timid, it's because Er Ya knows that the danger is not something you can treat as non-existent and don't have to be afraid of anything if you have martial arts. The martial arts of flying away may really have it, but Erya knows that she doesn't have it, and neither do these people in her church. She used to play bungee jumping, and when she got her feet off the ground, she knew that all the martial arts she had learned were useless. The gravitational pull of the earth forced her to fall rapidly, and she had nothing to do with her martial arts.

If she is forced to face the danger helplessly, then she can only admit it, and she will do her best to win, but she will not allow the children to go to this kind of situation. She doesn't care how others educate their children, anyway, she asks for a "stable" word for her children!

The lantern rack at the entrance of the east downtown was very successful, and even invited a king to give a lottery head to the person who grabbed the color ball. The host spoke excitedly with a trembling voice, he stood on a very high platform, looking at the flow of people below that was more than three times more than in previous years, and he was proud.

Time passed quickly, and just when Erya lamented how there were still so many people wearing padded jackets in the capital, instead of buying soft, good-looking and warm down jackets, Xiaolong's entrance examination came quietly.

Although candidates for the entrance examination no longer need to pay the examination fee by themselves, everything is borne by the imperial court, but the admission system is more stringent. Even the clothes they were wearing had to be taken off, and the officers and soldiers who were inspecting were patted, beaten, and touched, and they were sure that there was no entrainment from the inside to the outside before they were allowed to enter the examination room.

The people who stood in the distance to send the test were even more nervous than those who were being inspected inside, until the door was closed and their own candidates were not kicked out of the door, so they exhaled heavily and walked back reflexively, only to wait three days to pick up people. Rest for a few days, and then move on to the next exam, so that after three sessions, you can decide whether a person's fate can be connected with the court.

After three games, no matter how good or bad the physique is, even if you do well in the exam, once you relax, you are like a dead dog, paralyzed in bed for twelve hours and unable to move too normal. Even Xiaolong has never stopped practicing martial arts since he was a child, and when he returned home after the exam, he slept in the dark. When Xiaolong slept well, the uncle didn't dare to ask Xiaolong how he was doing. They were all busy pouring water to make tea and taking food, waiting for this candidate to be the big "master". Xiaolong, a thick-skinned guy, dared to enjoy the service of the uncle and aunt and the second uncle and aunt with peace of mind. Although he knew that he was playing with his heart again, Er Ya couldn't help but be annoyed and almost wanted to reward him. Don't look at Xiaolong as a lifter, he still feels good in the exam, but he has always been afraid and respectful of this sister-in-law as he was when he was a child. Seeing that my sister-in-law's face was wrong, I quickly stood up, took the teacup sent by the eldest aunt with both hands, nodded and thanked him, making the second aunt laugh: "What? The old man will be afraid! At the beginning, my niece and daughter-in-law were so used to Xiaolong, I was afraid that Xiaolong would be spoiled! I didn't expect our children to be really used to it, not only did they not get used to it, but the older they were, the more sensible they became. ”

Xiaolong didn't follow what the second aunt said, and shouted loudly: "Auntie only saw that when my sister-in-law was used to me clinging to me, she couldn't see when my sister-in-law beat me." My sister-in-law was so cruel when she beat me! I begged for mercy, but my sister-in-law didn't stop, and I had to fight until I was tired, so I stopped! ”

The eldest aunt also laughed: "You deserve it!" Who told you to blow up a pile of cow, and your face was covered with cow, who will you hit if you don't hit you?! ”

Qinglin, Mingyu, Mingyang, and Qingyun, these little guys, all heard about the little uncle's troubles when he was a child for the first time, and they all followed the coax and asked the little uncle: "Little uncle, is it fun to fry cow?" Ming'er will take us to fry it, okay? ”

"Little uncle! I don't have cow manure or horse manure at home, can you teach me to fry horse manure? ”

"Little uncle!"

Xiaolong only felt that he was about to go crazy and shouted: "Stop! Stop! Shut up for me, from this moment on, no one is allowed to mention cow. ”

Seeing that the little dragon was about to explode, a room full of adults and children couldn't help but laugh wildly. Especially Qingzhu, Wenchao, Aoki, and Minghao, who are usually disciplined very strictly by Xiaolong, finally seized the opportunity to brush their little uncles, and they all laughed very wildly, slapping the sofa while laughing. Erya and Xiaohu saw them smiling happily, and the atmosphere finally became happy again, and their hearts were much more relaxed.

Since Xiaolong's exam, everyone has been cautious about Xiaolong, which makes Erya very unhappy. Xiaolong is really tired from the exam, but there is no need to treat him as a paper paste at all, even if he really doesn't do well in the exam, then he can't be so worried about hurting him?!
