"Big brother...... Okay, let's ...... Let's go catch ...... Catch loaches ......"

This song is sung by immature children's voices, and it is the most beautiful.

On the official road outside the mighty city, Li Shushen, who was hurrying away, heard this childlike childlike sound, and couldn't help but slow down and look towards the source of the sound.

I saw a little girl holding a small wooden stick, and she was climbing the small slope by the official road.

Maybe she was tired of climbing, so she stopped and sang a few words after climbing a few steps.

The singing was a little choppy, as if he was hanging his voice.

Li Ming had never heard such a song, and it was a slang song unique to Liangzhou, so he simply stopped and said to Ma Tian beside him:

"I didn't expect this Liangzhou folk song to sound a little interesting, but this accent is very strange, and I have never heard it along the way......"

He said as he turned his head to look at Martin.

But when he saw that the other party was stunned, he actually stood there in a daze, as if he was thinking about something.

"Brother Young, what's going on? Why is your face so ugly? ”

Li Ming also said that the other party was running all the way and was too tired, "The front is Wuwei City, after we arrive, let's rest for a few days......"

After Ma Tian woke up, there was a little panic on his face.

This is the first time Li Ming has seen him lose his temper like this since he met him.

Seeing Li Ming looking at him worriedly and curiously, Ma Tianqiang smiled to himself:

"Hearing this song, I couldn't help but think of some old things, which made Uncle Shen smile."

"Old things? Could it be that he often came to Liangzhou and heard this song? ”

When Li Ming saw Ma Tian's appearance, he couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

Ma Tian shook his head and denied: "How have I ever been to Liangzhou?" ”

Then he pointed to the small slope not far away, "But the song that the girl sang, although the words are not very real, I have indeed heard the rhyme of this song." ”

Li Ming also looked at the girl who had climbed to the top of the small slope and said in surprise:

"And this? Could it be that this girl is a young deceased? ”

When Ma Tian heard this, his face changed greatly.

But before he could speak, the girl on the small slope probably realized that the two were talking about themselves.

Immediately, he used the wooden stick in his hand to hum and play a few tricks, and he still looked good.

Finally, he pointed at the two and shouted:

"Who are you? Newspaper on the spot! ”

Li Ming looked interesting, walked a few steps forward, raised his head slightly, and found that although the girl's clothes did not look complicated, the corners of the clothes were shaking, and there was a faint texture of streamers.

He was shocked to know that this girl's family background should not be underestimated.

After careful observation, I saw that behind the small hill, there seemed to be a figure shaking, and it seemed that it should be a girl's servant or something.

After getting this discovery, he dispelled the idea of making fun of the girl, and immediately arched his hand:

"We are scholars who went to Wuwei to participate in the examination, and when we heard the little lady singing, we lost our temper for a while, and there was something offensive, please forgive me."

He said this to the girl on the surface, but in fact he said it to the people behind her.

The girl blinked when she saw him, and then scratched her head with her hand, as if she did not know how to answer.

At this moment, I only heard a woman's angry voice in the distance:

"Feng Xiaoniang! You're running around again, see if I don't tell your grandmother to go! ”

When the girl heard this voice, her face changed greatly, she didn't care about talking to Li Ming, and quickly turned her head and shouted:

"I didn't run around! I'm scouting the enemy! ”

As she spoke, she climbed down the hill with her hands and feet, and disappeared into the shadows.

At this time, Ma Tian hurriedly walked to Li Ming's side, and while pulling him to continue walking, he hurriedly said:

"Uncle Shen, go quickly!"

Li Ming was half-pulled forward by Ma Tian, and asked in surprise:

"Why is the child so out of shape?"

"I look at the girl baby, and her family background is not simple. You and I are away from home, and it is the first time we have arrived in Liangzhou, so it is better to have more than one thing. ”

"Yes...... too."

As the two spoke, they quickened their pace and rushed towards Wuwei City.

Just behind them, the voice of the little lady of the Zhang family suddenly sounded:

"Hostile situation? What hostility? Don't learn well at a young age! I think you're the enemy! ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhang Xiaosi slipping Feng Shuangshuang out from behind Xiaopo and scolding.

Feng Shuangshuang's little short legs swayed in mid-air, and he shouted:

"I didn't run around......"

Then he stretched out his hand and pointed to the two figures in front of him who were about to walk away, "Auntie, look, those two people just talked to me!" ”

Zhang Xingyi looked in the direction she pointed, and at a glance, she couldn't help but be a little stunned:

Why is the figure in front of you a little familiar?

Both took advantage of the moment when Zhang Xingyi was distracted, twisted their bodies, broke free from her hands, and ran away.

Zhang Xingyi was furious, and the little thought that had just surfaced was directly thrown into his mind: "Don't run!" ”

How could Shuangshuang listen to her?

Hands and feet turned over the small slope, and the little short legs staggered, stumbling in the direction of a rescuer.

At this time, it was already spring, Zhang Xingyi was wearing a long skirt, and there were a lot of wild flowers and weeds outside the official road.

Feng Shuang is small, and she is not afraid of being torn out, but Zhang Xingyi doesn't dare to go directly like her.

She stamped her foot and cried out anxiously behind her:

"There are worms in the grass, be careful!"

Then he scolded his entourage, "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and catch up!" ”

Not far behind the official road, there is a small nameless river, which goes westward and pours into the mighty moat.

On the edge of the river, a curtain was erected, indicating that the female dependents of large families came out to step on the spring.

Behind the curtain, green smoke was waving up.

Zhao Guang hummed an unknown tune, busy on the edge of the grill, and could see that he was in a good mood.

Sitting next to him was Huang Wudie, whose mouth was full of oil and still kept sending food to his mouth.

"This is pasty, the fire is too much, be careful next time."

Huang Wudie's mouth was stuffed with grilled meat, and she didn't even forget to comment on it.

"Oh, okay, okay, I'll pay attention to this."

Zhao Guang flipped through the grilled fish and barbecue meat in his hands, and looked at Huang Wudie from time to time, his eyes were full of tenderness and doting.

Guan Ji, who was sitting in the sun not far from the upwind, saw the affectionate appearance of the two, and "sighed" in disgust, and turned in a direction on the recliner.

Feng Yong, who was sitting next to her, said with a smile:

"If you really become a parent, let the man really grow up."

Accustomed to Zhao Guang's unreliability, suddenly seeing him like this surprised Feng Yong.

Huang Wudie's ears were sharp, and when she heard Feng Yong's words, she answered loudly:

"Brother, since you got married, you have been singing with your wife, and you have several children, so you don't know the pain of our husband and wife."

After Zhao Guang became married, he has been getting together with Huang Wudie less and more in recent years.

Seeing that Guan Ji is pregnant with a second child, not to mention that she has always been unwilling to lag behind Huang Wudie, even the Zhao family is afraid that she is also in a hurry.

So now that Old Man Zhao has gone to Nanxiang to recuperate, Liangzhou has stabilized.

After Huang Wudie returned to Hanzhong and arranged for Mr. Zhao and his wife, he came to Liangzhou again to meet Zhao Guang.

And that's a good thing.

"Don't talk nonsense! What's all the time? At the beginning, didn't they also separate for more than half a year? ”

Feng Yong retorted.

Huang Wudie rolled her eyes, not knowing if she was choking or what.

At this moment, I saw a small figure suddenly burst in from outside the curtain.

Both wanted to run to their own adults.

But when she saw the grandmother beside the adult, she turned around very decisively, ran to Huang Wudie, and shouted, "Aunt Huang! ”

When Huang Wudie saw Shuangshuang, her eyes immediately lit up, and as soon as she threw away the barbecue, she directly picked up Shuangshuang: "Hey! ”

At the same time, he kissed Shuangshuang's face several times, and Shuangshuang's little face was immediately stained with oil.

Although Huang Wudie and Guan Ji do not deal with each other, they are very fond of the pair of children born to Guan Ji.

It's just that since the last time Guan Ji learned that Zhang Xiaosi coveted the secret of the Feng family, she began to discipline Ah Worm strictly.

For example, now, in order to relive the leisurely times of the old days, Feng Tingshi has the heart to fish.

Ah Worm was also forced to hold a small fishing rod and sit upright next to the adult to learn fishing.

Because my own mother said that this is self-cultivation.

Seeing his son constantly glancing at his sister, with a look of envy, Feng Tingshi wanted to let him play.

But the world is big, and pregnant women are the largest, and now even Huang Wudie doesn't dare to stimulate Guan Ji.

How dare Feng Tingshi express his opinion on Sanniang's godson?

So he can only let his son be wronged.

At this moment, I saw Zhang Xiaosi angrily follow back and complain to Feng Yong:

"Brother-in-law, don't just look at Ah Worm, but also discipline Shuangshuang, otherwise she will become a crazy girl!"

How old is the child?

Ah worm is already bitter enough, what are you still adding to the mess?

Feng Yong asked lazily:

"What's the matter?"

"What do you see her clothes have become? Everywhere in the wilderness, how can there be a little girl's appearance? ”

Huang Wudie saw it, hurriedly put them on the ground, and then whispered in her ear.

Shuangshuang nodded, tied up the horse's steps, blushed, and suddenly shouted to this side:

"Brother-in-law!"

This sound can poke the hornet's nest.

Feng Tingshi jumped up all of a sudden.

Guan Ji turned her head sharply and stared at it.

Zhang Xingyi's little face turned white at first, and then immediately turned red again.

Only Ah Worm was so frightened that he couldn't hold the fishing rod in his hand, and looked at his parents and aunt with a blank and frightened face.

Huang Wudie laughed, picked up Shuangshuang, turned around and ran.

"Zhao Erlang, come over to me!"

Feng Tingshi rolled up his sleeves, "How long will it take to bake?" I don't know if your sister is hungry? ”

Zhao Guang looked at Huang Wudie, who was gone, and then looked at his brother who looked at him angrily, staring at his sister coldly, and glaring at his little sister with gritted teeth......

Tomorrow the day was very big, and he suddenly felt so cold.

"It's a chill! This Liangzhou and Shu are very different. ”

Shudi had already put on a thin shirt at this time, but in Liangzhou, he still had to add an extra robe.

When the steward who received the two heard Li Ming's words, he couldn't help but smile and asked:

"It's the first time for the two Lang Jun to come to Liangzhou?"

"That's right, I set off in September last year, but I didn't expect Hanzhong, and there was news that Liangzhou was closed by heavy snow last year, so I had to wait for the beginning of spring before leaving."

Ma Tian continued:

"I heard that there was a snowstorm in Liangzhou last year, and even the price of grain in Shu has risen!"

"I haven't been back to Shu for two or three years!"

The steward is actually from Shudi, and when he heard Ma Tian say this, he seemed to open the conversation:

"That's the case, the white disaster in Liangzhou last year was really serious, and in recent years, it has rarely risen so high in grain prices in Shudi."

"Hey, if you don't talk about those Hu people, you just caught up with the good time, and you happened to meet Feng Junhou Ren Liangzhou Assassin Shi."

"Even if it is high-priced grain, we must let Shu land transport it over to save people first, otherwise, according to previous years, I don't know how many fewer people will die."

"If only Liangzhou could produce as much grain as Shudi......"

As he spoke, the steward handed two pieces of paper to the two of them: "Here, fill it in first." ”

"What is this?"

"Registration form, can you read it? Can you write? ”

Sure enough, it is worthy of being the place where King Feng Ghost is in charge, and it has the style of Nanxiang.

The two of them, who had been in Nanxiang for a long time, suddenly had a feeling of coming to Nanxiang.

"Yes, definitely. Who would dare to take the exam? ”

Ma Tian hurriedly finished answering, and then whispered to Li Ming: "The exam has begun." ”

Li Ming was a little confused.

Ma Tian didn't elaborate, but just asked:

"Do you dare to ask if there is pen and ink?"

"Yes, there's pen and ink on every table over there."

This is a special place to receive participants in the examination class, and there are several rows of tables.

There are high tables and low tables, chairs and kneeling cushions, it seems that the Liangzhou Thorn Mansion is attentive in this regard, taking into account the different habits of scholars in different places.

After the two found a place to sit down, Li Ming glanced at the steward.

Seeing that the other party was already holding a book and reading it by himself, he lowered his voice and asked:

"Brother Young Chang, the exam you just said ......"

Ma Tian shook the registration form in his hand: "Although there is no threshold for the examination, this is the invisible threshold for the examination. ”

Li Ming was stunned.

He also thought that the Liangzhou Thorn Mansion wanted to rely on this thing to find out his own details.

Come to think of it, the world has been in turmoil for decades, there are countless fugitives and hidden households, and the household registration system has long been corrupted.

Characters like Feng Ghost King, how could they expect to rely on this to understand who the people who came?

After the two of them finished writing, the steward took the registration form and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but admire:

"This word is really good!"

He stood up and became a little more enthusiastic than at the beginning: "This is the number plate, two people go out and turn left, someone will arrange two people." ”

As he spoke, he handed over two signs with the words "Ding Forty-Three" and "Ding Forty-Four" written on them.

"In the next three months, even if the two of you officially enter the exam, if you can pass these three months, you can enter the next stage."

The steward said with a smile.

Ma Tian tried to inquire: "What is the test in the three months of exams, can you tell me?" ”

"Well, someone will arrange it."

The steward haha, but he refused to make it clear.

It's just that when he saw his accommodation, Li Ming couldn't help it anymore:

"This ...... The two of us share a room? ”

When the waiter who came with two people heard this, he was immediately happy:

"Two? This Lang Jun, how can there only be two people living in such a big house? This is a four-person room, and if anyone comes in the future, it will be for four people. ”

"What?!"

Although Li Ming said that compared with the descendants of the Li family, he could barely be regarded as having endured hardships.

But in terms of accommodation, I never thought that I would live in the same house with others for a long time, and it was still four people.

may have seen some reluctance on Li Ming's face, and the waiter said one more word:

"This Lang Jun, this house is actually quite good."

"The two of you must have heard that Liangzhou was just hit by a major disaster last year, the people's livelihood is difficult, and the government is short of money and food."

"But that's it, and provide free accommodation for scholars from all over the world, and all the food used in this place is people's fat and people's ointment!"

Hearing that the waiter actually said this, Li Ming's face was hot.

Looking at the background of the waiter's departure, Ma Tian smiled thoughtfully: "It's a little interesting." ”

"Uncle Shen, when you go out, it's not as good as at home. Especially in this assassination mansion, the public examination and selection of talents is the first time since the Han Dynasty. ”

"How to take the test, how to choose, are unknown, we still have to be cautious in words and deeds. Just like living in this house, it is also one of the exams. ”

"Is this an exam?" On the second day, Li Ming pointed to everything in front of him and asked Ma Tian in a trembling voice, "Youchang, are you sure we didn't come here as coolies?" ”
