The merchant looked at the thick letter sealed with fire paint in his hand, and his face was full of joy. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Dayong drove the green cloth carriage with the Su nameplate, not only brought them a lot of fresh vegetables and vegetables, but also brought the news of the Su brothers in Chang'an City.

When Li Mo changed out of the wet clothes on his body and came back, he saw the merchant with a smile on his face, as if it was a gorgeous camellia in full bloom, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Li Mo! My brother has passed the first test, and he can participate in the re-examination of the Ministry of Rites! The merchant waved the two pieces of letter paper in his hand and smiled happily at Li Mo.

Wu Meiniang took a cup of tea and handed it to Wang Dayong, who was standing aside wiping the sweat on his head, and seeing the happy appearance of the businessman, Wang Dayong also laughed with "hey, hey, hey".

The proprietor is an official, and they are naturally looking at the rising tide, and recently there are many more students who have gone to the kitchen to eat in addition to the dignitaries, which is really lively.

"Look at you! I'm so happy to be like this, so thick that you only read two and forget about it! Li Mo smiled and nodded the merchant's forehead, laughing at her smugness.

The merchant stuck out his tongue, looked at Wu Meiniang who was standing on the side embarrassedly, and then lowered his head and continued to read the letter.

"Li Mo! Li Mo! After only a few lines, the merchant cried out again, and his voice was full of unbelievable happiness.

"Greensleeves is pregnant! I'm going to be an aunt! I'm going to be an aunt! The merchant smiled and pulled Li Mo's clothes, ignoring Wu Meiniang on the side, her face was slightly red when she heard it, and she looked slightly embarrassed.

"You man! How can there be such a thing as shouting loudly in front of Li Gongzi! Seeing Li Mo smiling a little uncomfortably, Wu Meiniang was busy blushing and going to play the round.

Only then did the merchant react, looking at the embarrassing and abnormal flush on Li Mo's face, he laughed more and more.

"Girl! The second son said, let you have time to go back to Chang'an City, the second lady thinks about you! Wang Dayong smiled and looked at the happy appearance of the businessman jumping and jumping.

"Hmmm! I will definitely take the time to go back to Chang'an. The merchant lowered his head and continued to look at the contents of the letterhead, and replied without raising his head.

"This big brother! After rushing all the way, I must be tired and hungry, so why don't you eat something first! Your girl still has something to see! Seeing Shang Shang's happy appearance, knowing that she didn't come back to her senses so quickly, Wu Meiniang opened her mouth and said to Wang Dayong.

"No need! No more! The villain has eaten dry food on the way! Wang Dayong waved his hand and refused to agree.

"Brother Wang! No need to excuse yourself, you eat first, I'll go to the back room to write a reply, and you will bring it back to Chang'an for me to my brother later. Shang Shang carefully read the thick stack of letterheads, raised his head and said to Wang Dayong.

Wang Dayong was still about to resign, but Li Mo had already pulled him into the hall, and in desperation, he had to follow in, and when Wu Meiniang brought him food, Li Mofang went into the merchant's bedroom to see her write a letter.

"Li Mo! You've come just in time, and I'm about to ask you something. The merchant was grinding the ink while looking at Li Mo.

"What's the matter?" Li Mo walked over, took the ink strip from the merchant's hand, and grinded it carefully.

Shang Shang took a pile of plain white Shu and put it in front of him, took the lake pen and ink, and then asked, "Li Mo!" Brother has passed the first test.,Now it's time for the Ministry of Rites to retest.,This time it must be presided over by Lord Yu and Lord Lu of the Ministry of Rites.,The first test fashion can rely on your own knowledge.,It's just this re-test.,I'm afraid that the paper will be extremely critical.,Do you have any good suggestions? ”

For the second brother's scientific examination, the businessman is extremely concerned, and now that he knows the news of entering the re-examination, how can he plan for his brother.

The wind of the Tang Dynasty was very popular, and after Su Minzhi was a criminal official, if the object of this scroll is chosen well, it is of course twice the result with half the effort, if it is a little worse, I am afraid that it will fall short.

Li Mo heard what the businessmen said, and he also muttered for a while, the scroll has always been the key to the imperial examination, although he has not participated in the imperial examination, but if you just look at the identity of the subject of the scroll, he can also say a few people, and immediately said:

"The so-called scrolls, I don't think they can get rid of those Ming scriptures and poems, but most of the scientific exams are on the list, if you want Brother Su to be recommended by many people, I am afraid that there will be many points."

Li Mo silently searched in his mind for the names of people who could speak in the re-examination of the Ministry of Rites, and after only a little thought, he continued:

"That's it! In your letter to Brother Su, ask him to prepare two copies of the scrolls, copy ten copies of each for later use, and hand two of them to Lord Changsun and Lord Yu with my name, and I will contact Li Yan later and ask him to take care of Brother Su. ”

"Wouldn't that be nice?" The businessman looked at Li Mo with some hesitation, although the Tang Dynasty was in line with the list system, would such a blatant dotting official be criticized? It would not be good if there was an impeachment of the imperial history or something.

"Why not? If the atmosphere is like this, wouldn't you plan like this when you were a member of those families? I'm afraid they will send a lot more rolls than your brother! Li Mo smiled and put down the ink strip and clapped his hands.

Shang Shang thought about it, but he was also reasonable, so he no longer got entangled, and began to write a reply.

The right not to use it in vain! My brother doesn't want to be a champion, as long as he can get in the top ten, and then he can choose an idle position in the ministry and hang a name, it shouldn't be a difficult thing.

Carefully wrote Li Mo's words into it, and explained to Su Minzhi, he wanted to choose the most satisfactory work on weekdays in the line volume, and the businessman carefully instructed the things that green sleeves need to pay attention to when pregnant at the end of the letter, and then read it from beginning to end, and put the letterhead into the cover with satisfaction, and the thickness of the letterhead was no less than the letter written by Su Minzhi.

Wang Dayong had already finished breakfast, stood at the door of the hall and waited for the merchant's reply, and when he saw her come out, he hurriedly greeted her.

"Brother Wang! This letter is also for you to bring back to my brother, just say that I will go back to Chang'an when I am free, and let him take good care of my sister-in-law, this is the first grandson of my Su family, but you have to be careful! The merchant was not at ease.

Li Mo looked funny on the side, she was just an unmarried girl, but when she talked about these women's homes, she was like a person who had come over, and she was not afraid of people's jokes.

Wu Meiniang was already smiling, she had never seen Shang Shang so nervous, it seemed that this unborn little nephew (daughter) had hooked her whole mind!

"Hey! The villain will bring the girl's words, the girl rest assured! ”

Wang Dayong responded loudly, took the letter handed by the merchant into his arms, made a gesture at Li Mo and the others, buckled the straw hat on the side on his head, walked out of the courtyard gate, and drove the carriage to Chang'an.

The businessman was still thinking about the fact that Green Sleeves was pregnant, and pulled Wu Meiniang to the side to pinch her fingers to calculate, according to the letter, this child is only afraid that it will not be born until the next year, counting the days, it is just after Li Mo's three years of filial piety, he can't help but smile.

"Li Mo! I've calculated, I'm afraid that Green Sleeves will not give birth until March next year, and when the filial piety is exactly three years old, I will be able to watch her give birth in Chang'an! ”

Li Mo smiled at the appearance of the businessman's eyebrows and eyes, and his heart was soft. In order to accompany him for three years of filial piety, the businessman couldn't even see his brother and relatives, so he was really miserable in this mountain!

The three of them laughed and entered the hall, and had a happy meal, and the merchant took Wu Meiniang to discuss the child's little clothes.

Li Mo looked at the two of them with an indulgent smile on their faces, and went back to the house to write a short note to Li Yan, explaining Su Minzhi's matter, and then went to the pigeon house behind the house to catch a pigeon and sent the letterhead out.

The arrival of a new life always makes people feel joy from the bottom of their hearts! Even these simple three-room houses are full of vitality because of this sudden good news.

The merchant rummaged through the brocade, cloud satin, and silk that was all over the bed, and could not decide which fabric to use to make small clothes for children, and the pure cotton products that were common in later generations to make underwear for children were unseen at this time, which couldn't help but give her a headache.

When I was happy, time seemed to pass very quickly, and before the merchant could make a decision, the sunlight had slipped onto the western ridge, and the sunlight shining into the room gradually dimmed.

Mei Niang looked at the sinking sunset, and reminded Shang Shang funny: "The child will not be born until next year, are you so anxious?" Don't you know that there is a hungry man outside the door? ”

When Shang Shang looked up blankly, he saw that the sunset was already bright, and Li Mo, who was standing outside the door, was smiling and looking at himself with a tangled face.

"Yikes! Why is it so late? Mei Niang, you didn't call me earlier! Shang Shang patted his head with some annoyance, complaining about Wu Meiniang.

"What do you want to do? I've already cooked the meal, so just eat it! Wu Meiniang smiled and took the hand of the merchant, and the two followed Li Mo into the hall.

After dinner, the merchant consciously went to the kitchen to wash the dishes and chopsticks, and drove Wu Meiniang back to the room.

Li Mo helped her put the cleaned dishes and chopsticks on the bamboo rack by the wall, and the two cooperated tacitly, looking back from time to time and smiling, everything was silent.

The nights in Jiuzhi Mountain are exceptionally cool, even in the hot months of June, there is always a slight breeze to bring refreshing coolness.

Maybe it was the mood high during the day, but at night, the merchant felt a little sleepy, and went to bed with Wu Meiniang early to clean up the full bed of fabrics, and fell asleep without saying a word.

In the quiet night, there seemed to be something unknown about to move, and the insects and frogs in the forest seemed to be frightened, and suddenly fell silent, and the dark night was as silent as death.

The merchant, who had slept until midnight, suddenly woke up and suddenly opened her eyes, and there seemed to be a cold chill spreading in the dark room, which made her subconsciously touch the side of the pillow.

The square pillow was stuck with a short sword that had been given to her by the bearded guest, and had never left her.

Looking through the curtain, the originally closed door opened a gap that only allowed one person to pass through, and the moonlight outside the door cast coldly on the ground but could not illuminate the darkness in the room, and there was a slight breathing sound in the dark corner where the moonlight did not reach, as if with deliberate depression and tension.

Gently pulling the sword in his hand, Shang Shang took out an empty hand, pressed Wu Meiniang's lips, put his mouth to her ear and suddenly spewed out a breath, and watched Wu Meiniang open her eyes in fright with satisfaction.

Suppressing Wu Meiniang, who wanted to struggle, Shang Shang held the short sword upside down, put a finger to his lips, and made a silence. Wu Meiniang's eyes widened in horror and nodded.

The merchant turned his head, vigilantly aware that the deep breathing outside the tent was getting closer and closer, and his eyes accustomed to the darkness stared closely at a blurred black shadow that was gradually approaching.

The curtain was lifted in an instant, and a snowy knife splashed towards the two people on the bed. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
