Chapter 333: Entering Beijing to Catch the Exam

The wolf of the Li family left in a hurry, making a lot of jokes, and when the matchmaker came to the door again, she found that there was no one in the Li family, and she couldn't help beating her chest, why didn't she come earlier? Well, such a good opportunity was wasted.

The villagers of Lijia Village looked at the matchmaker gathered at the door, and couldn't help but come forward and quip: "You don't use it, people leave early in the morning, haha!" ”

"That's right, not every girl in our village can be worthy, hurry up and go home and find another one!"

It's not that they think too much, if they come up with a person, they will never find a country girl who can't read big words, or she has to be a well-informed young lady, but I didn't expect that there is really a pole, it's really beyond my strength.

Helplessly, the matchmakers couldn't follow the county, so they could only leave in disgrace.

Besides, on the Li family's side, this trip is also thrilling, Li Hui came to this era for the first time to really feel the horror of forced marriage, the matchmakers, one by one, smeared like monkey butts, laughed and fell down, I really can't agree with their aesthetics.

Back in the county seat, the Li Yujin brothers rarely went out, or lived in the academy to consult the master, and their lives were quiet.

Originally, Li Yucheng didn't plan to continue the scientific examination, he felt that lifting people was already his limit, but Li didn't agree, why didn't he participate, maybe he would pass the exam? Didn't you see that both of my sister-in-law's family have to take the test?

Li Yucheng understands that he has a few pounds and a few taels, and even if he can't pass the exam, but Li has always said that he is not very old, even if he takes the exam for two more years, it doesn't matter, and the family is not in a hurry for them to earn money or anything, just study in peace.

It's time for the New Year soon, this year's New Year is different from previous years, the previous New Year was back to Lijia Village, this year, because the last matchmaker came to the door to make everyone feel palpitations, plus Li Yujin is about to enter Beijing to catch the exam, it's best not to waste time, too troublesome, so this year's New Year is mainly simple.

But it seems to backfire, even if the Li family wants to be low-key, they can't be low-key, the people in the county also know the door, and the trustees who don't know also have to come to the door, but fortunately, everyone knows the proportions, in order not to delay Li Yujin's studies, they are all as low-key as possible.

Even so, the Li family was busy until after the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and the time for Li Yujin to enter Beijing to catch the exam has also arrived, and the examination of this era is arranged in the spring of the second year after the township examination, about mid-February, so as soon as the New Year is over, it is time to prepare for a few people to enter Beijing to catch the exam.

This year's Lantern Festival, in the county is much more fun than in the village, there will be a lantern festival on the night of the Lantern Festival every year, and young boys and children are playing at this time.

It's been so long since I came to this era. It was the first time Li Hui had seen the lanterns, so two days earlier, Li Hui and Li Xiu began to prepare, the clothes to be worn that day, the jewelry to be brought, some excited, some excited, as for the baby children, although they also want to go out, but for their safety, it is better to stay at home honestly.

The Lantern Festival is the most lively time, of course, it is also the most unsettling time, almost every year there will be traffickers abducting and selling children, this time is the safest at home, even if you are very careful, but the tricks of traffickers one after another, so that you can't prevent it.

"Be good, obedient, when you grow up, will my sister take you to the street to see the lanterns?" Before going out, a few children were still making noise, Li Hui could only coax gently, where there were so many people, she didn't dare to take people out.

"Woo woo~~~" The baby opened his mouth wide, howled and sang non-stop, and did not shed tears.

"Okay, okay, I'll come back and bring you something delicious, it's fun, okay?" If the coaxing doesn't work, then the temptation, Li Hui will cut the land and compensate.

I saw that the baby's face was still rainy just now, and the sun was shining in an instant: "Okay, I want beautiful lanterns, I also want masks, delicious" After saying a long list of requests, he left in a hurry.

Look at this child again, there is not a single tear, not even the eye circles are red, Li Hui wants to scold, this bear child! It's too treacherous.

Li Hui and Li Xiumei are beautiful, Li Yujin is handsome, and several brothers and sisters go out together, handsome men and beautiful women are really eye-catching.

The first time I saw the ancient lanterns, Li Hui, a modern person, opened his eyes wide, only to see a street, all of which were all kinds of lanterns, and there were more and more people on the street, and if you were not careful, you would step on other people's feet, even so, you can't stop the beauty of the lanterns!

"Girl, young master, take a look, if you guess correctly, there will be a reward, and the lanterns will be given to you for free!" The roadside vendors shouted loudly, and everyone who passed by said so, and the free lanterns attracted a large number of people.

"Big brother, let's take a look, which one is good-looking, you can help me win it!" Li Hui thinks that she can't guess riddles, but there are several helpers here, Li Yujin brothers are learning ancient culture, guessing riddles are pediatric for them, at this time the benefits of having an elder brother are obvious, which one you want, with them, it's not a problem.

Li Yujin is a favorite sister, and she has never refused Li Hui's request, and she will leave home again tomorrow and enter Beijing to take the exam.

"Okay, let's go, let's see, which one do you want to tell the eldest brother!" Li Yujin is full of pride.

Waiting for Li Hui to walk to the stall selling lanterns, after carefully understanding the rules, I couldn't help but sigh, the wisdom of the ancients is really infinite, it is said that the lanterns are free, as long as you can guess the riddle correctly, but the problem is that everyone who wants to guess has to pay money, five copper plates each time, it doesn't sound like much, the key is here, if you guess correctly, the lanterns can be taken away, if you guess wrong, the money will be gone.

Most of the people here are ordinary people, more or less simple, but the difficult ones will not work, as for guessing the simple riddle can win away the lantern, pay to buy it for five cents, the boss will not lose at all, the material used to paste the lantern, it is not worth a few dollars.

Few people can guess what is difficult, and even if they guess, the boss will not pay, because many people can't guess that they have lost money in vain.

Isn't this something like those modern ferrules? Ten yuan set five times, but nine out of ten are not one set, the result is quite happy, Li Hui secretly admired, the ancients are really powerful, such a method can be figured out, it seems that guessing once is not expensive, the more times the boss earns more.

They are not bad for these pennies, just to have a happy picture, when they come, they see that someone in front of them has begun to guess, as long as it is the lantern in your photo, the boss will take it down, the riddle is on the back of each lantern, it depends on whether you have the ability to take it.

A person in front of me is a simple quadrangular lantern, only to see the two lines of small characters on the top 'two belts warped, two sleeves noisy, only to wear Willow Lane, and go to the flower street, so that the flower sister to take a fan. "How's that, childe, girl, do you have an answer?" The boss looked at the couple in front of him with a smile!

"Brother, help me think about it, I want this!" It turned out to be a brother and sister, and the boy frowned, and he didn't think about it for a long time!

Look at the dress, it should be an ordinary child, the boy scratches his ears and cheeks, obviously wants to help his sister win back the lantern, but he doesn't have this strength.

"Really, you're so stupid, hmph, I think to myself!" The little girl bit her fingers, lowered her head, and suddenly shouted: "I know, haha, it's a butterfly!" After saying that, he raised his head happily, and his expression was obviously very proud and proud!

The boss turned the riddle note around, only to see the two words on it, the formal butterfly: "Congratulations to this girl, you answered correctly, this lantern is yours!" "Then give the lantern to the girl!"

Immediately afterwards, some people guessed the riddle: 'Bit by bit reform to see results', the word "single" is the answer.

'Long body with 100 legs, likes yin and does not like yang, and has a strong ability to drill seams', riddle: centipede

Some people went up one after another, and they were naturally happy to win the lanterns, and those who didn't win were not depressed, just to be happy.

Soon to Li Hui and them, Li Hui fell in love with a rabbit lantern, the little rabbit made vividly, the two red eyes are particularly realistic, Li Hui fell in love with it at a glance, but compared with those simple, this riddle must be difficult, and its difficulty is proportional to the beauty and delicacy of the lantern.

My sister likes it, even if it is difficult, Li Yujin has to give it a try, otherwise how can she know if she can do it?

It seems to be a very simple mystery: 'Thousands of miles home', no hint, guess by yourself, at first glance, there is no clue, the people around who are watching the excitement also look down and think, but there is no result, Li Yujin looked down and thought for a while, and had an idea, the mystery is: "Chuang!" “

As soon as the words fell, the boss stepped forward with a smile: "Congratulations to this son, you answered correctly!" “

In fact, as long as the brain turns and understands, it is very simple, as soon as Li Yujin's mystery came out, everyone suddenly realized, returning home thousands of miles, isn't it just to enter the house? The child transportation tool must be a horse, what a simple riddle, stunned but did not react. "Hui'er, give! Xiu'er, which do you want? "As an elder brother, you can't favor one over the other, Li Hui is done, and Li Xiu is left.

Although there are also some difficulties, but in general, today is also a lot of harvest, a few people in each hand a lantern, and finally there are a few more guesses, go back to appease the baby a few little dolls, in short, tonight to have a lot of fun, especially some particularly good-looking lanterns were guessed by Li Yujin brothers, see the boss with a black face and pretend to be happy, I think it is very fun.

Since the brothers and sisters will set off early tomorrow morning, Hu repeatedly told not to play too late, and a few people probably went home after a walk, in fact, it was still early at this time, and the street was lively.

A few people left early, so that a few people didn't know about the theft incident on the street, and this time they stole all young girls, of course, a few people went out early the next morning, and they didn't know the news.

The people who didn't go to the street yesterday didn't know, but the people on the street at that time felt thrilled, and they didn't know when the people around them would disappear, and finally everyone hurried home, afraid that it would be them who would be taken away.

When such a big thing happens, even if the government wants to hide it, it can't hide it. Many people know about it, so as soon as the next day dawned, it began to circulate on the streets, and various versions flew all over the sky, and no one knew which one was true or false, anyway, it was true that someone was taken captive.

Hu Shi had palpitations: "It's okay, it's okay, the children came back late yesterday, otherwise" She didn't dare to imagine the consequences, what did she want to take away the beautiful girl? Needless to say, everyone knows that it is definitely not a good thing, and just after sending away a few children, Hu heard about it.

The empty heart was suddenly filled with this incident, and after rejoicing, I couldn't help but worry: "Nothing will happen on this road, right?" Hu began to think crankily, what if he encountered a robber? I won't meet that guy!

I can't help but start to be suspicious, what if it's unlucky, you say, how can she rest assured that a few children will go out alone? One morning, Hu was in a hurry, constantly thinking nonsense, she forgot that the children in the family had big ideas, and it was not the first time they had gone far away, and it was about ten days' drive on the road.

Until Li Anxi came back, he saw Hu Shi absent-mindedly: "Sister-in-law, you can rest assured, there is a guard and a nursing home at home, don't worry, even if you meet it, you will be fine!" "yes, why didn't I think of that?" Hu Shi patted his head, he was really stupid, everyone knows the martial arts of the dark one, even if he encounters human traffickers, he is not afraid, so many people in the family follow. That's when I had the heart to do something else.

The Li family seems to have such a habit invisibly, every time they rush to take the exam, they are accompanied by several children in the family, except for the first time Li Anfu accompanies them, and later the children are quite reassuring, Li Hui and Li Xiu take good care of their brothers every time, even if the Hu family goes in person, it may not be as good as the two little girls.

Li Hui and his entourage, who had left, naturally didn't know what happened in Zhixi County, when they set off in the morning, the sky was just bright, and there were no pedestrians on the street, especially last night's incident, everyone had palpitations, the sky was not very bright, and they naturally didn't dare to go out.

The group couldn't say that they were in a hurry, they were in a hurry, they were not in a hurry, the speed of the car was not fast, they were not in a hurry, how could Li Yujin be so calm in his heart, this is not an exam at home, but if you want to go to the capital, where the powerful gather, can you not be nervous?

The more anxious they are, the more chaotic they are, I have to say that the Hu family's blind guessing really made them encounter, about thirty miles away from the city gate, they saw a carriage that was very abnormal, swaying, and occasionally saw a few pink colors, but they didn't see the girl get off, and a few people began to mumble in their hearts.
