Chapter 175: Picking Up People
In order to prevent himself from falling into the pit because of ignorance, Meng Hao has spent a lot of effort studying the various laws, regulations, customs, and prohibitions of this dynasty over the years. Don't, privileges.
In addition, she had dealt with the Liaodong Prefecture Army at the beginning - they had suppressed bandits together under the leadership of the magistrate of Ninghai County.
Although she was only exposed to a small group of Liaodong Mansion troops at the beginning, the small force of Liaodong Mansion Army that she had contact with was enough for her to peek into some details.
For example, the sheepskin boots she just mentioned, Meng Hao only saw one pair in the original anti-bandit operation.
Those boots were worn on the feet of the cousin of the county magistrate at that time, and his cousin was the leader of the small Liaodong Mansion Army at the beginning, a serious five-rank general.
The junior generals of the sixth, seventh, and seventh grades below him are still wearing ordinary cloth shoes.
Thinking about the scene at that time, and then thinking about the two pairs of boots she saw now, where did Meng Hao dare to offend these two people easily.
Shunzi and several other little guys all threw themselves at Meng Hao's admiration, and Shunzi and Cedar also subconsciously looked at Yan Zhenwu who was standing next to Meng Zhen - they thought that Yan Zhenwu had also seen various details and loopholes in the clothes of the two people.
Yan Zhenwu raised his hand and gave each of them a sugar-fried chestnut, "See what I'm doing?" ”
How could he have noticed these small details.
He had some scruples about the bearded guy, all because the other party was really skilled.
Although the two had not fought seriously, Yan Zhenwu still judged that this person's strength was not below him based on his martial intuition.
Such a person, and with a bloody temperament from the battlefield, Yan Zhenwu will only provoke this product when he is crazy.
After the group finished speaking, Meng Zhen and Yan Zhenwu took Shunzi and them back to the Su Mansion to wait quietly.
There are three township examinations (i.e. autumn examinations), and the start time of the three examinations is August 9, August 12, and August 15, and each session lasts for three days.
In other words, Su Shen had to stay in the Gongyuan for nine days in a row.
In the past nine days, Yan Zhenwu has to take Shunzi, Xuesong, Qi Yu'an, and Chen Jiabao's two little servants to pick up people at the gate of Gongyuan every three days, while Meng Zhen takes Guo's sister-in-law to prepare meals for Su Shen and others.
They not only had to prepare a light and nourishing dinner and breakfast for Su Shen and the others, but also made them a batch of dried meat and snacks brought into the examination room every three days.
Speaking of this, Meng Zhen couldn't help but be glad that the township test time of the Great Zhou Dynasty was set in mid-August, when the autumn was high and cool, and the temperature was not high or low.
If this is set in June or July, Meng Hao feels that she can only bring Su Shen fried rice and other things that will not deteriorate quickly due to the weather to talk about it.
On the contrary, if it is set in September and October, when the temperature has dropped below ten degrees, Meng Hao will inevitably worry that Su Shen will eat bad stomach, after all, the weather is cold, and it is easy to make people uncomfortable when they eat pastries.
Finally, time passed to August 17, the last day of the autumn exam.
Early in the morning, Meng Zhen and Sister-in-law Guo took Cedar and Shunzi to a large market closest to Su's house.
In the market, there are fruits, vegetables, and eggs picked up by nearby villagers, as well as all kinds of fresh meat, fish, shrimp, and crabs that butchers and fishermen bring to the market early in the morning.
Meng Zhen and Sister-in-law Guo made a good selection in the market, until the baskets carried by Cedar and Shunzi were all full, and the two ended the shopping struggle unsatisfied.
Out of the market, Meng Hao went to a nearby tofu workshop to buy old tofu, tofu skin, and fried tofu.
The four of them returned to the Su Mansion with four baskets and a basket, and Cedar went to the nearby hospital according to Meng Hao's request.
Yesterday, Meng Zhen had already asked Cedar to take twenty taels of silver and help her make an appointment with a doctor with good medical skills nearby.
This doctor was prepared for Su Shen and others.
Although God has been very appreciative recently, and he has not engaged in pranks such as the sudden drop in temperature and continuous rain during the autumn season, the nine-day high-intensity exam is also a test for Su Shen's body in the end.
Even if they knew that Su Shen and the others were all strong and healthy people, after they had experienced such a high-load scientific examination, Meng Zhen still felt that it was necessary to ask the doctor to give them a good pulse.
After a brief lunch, the master and subordinates who stayed at home went out early again and waited for people at the gate of the Gongyuan.
Meng Hao originally thought that she had come early enough, but before she reached the gate of the Tribute Courtyard, there were already many more people in front of them who were looking forward to the gate of the Tribute Courtyard.
Yan Zhenwu and the others escorted Meng Hao to the gate of the Tribute Courtyard, and the six of them found a place where the flow of people was not particularly dense to stand, and then began to wait silently for Su Shen and the others to come out of the Tribute Courtyard.
After almost an hour and a half, the door of the Tribute Courtyard was finally pushed open from the inside out, and all the waiters, including Meng Hao, immediately looked towards the open gate of the Tribute Courtyard.
Shunzi's eyes were sharp, and he saw Su Shen, Qi Yu'an and Li Zhengshan in the crowd at a glance, he jumped to his feet and waved vigorously at the three of them, and while waving, he didn't forget to say loudly to Meng Hao and Yan Zhenwu: "It's Young Master Su!" Young Master Su is out! There are also Young Master Li and Young Master Qi! ”
When Cedar and Qi Yu'an's little servants heard this, they immediately pulled out their feet and squeezed towards the gate of the tribute courtyard.
Shunzi, who was not willing to lag behind, also hurriedly followed, while Yan Zhenwu and Chen Jiabao's little servants stood in place with Meng Zhen and did not move.
- They are close enough to the gate of the Tribute Courtyard, and in this situation, they should not add more chaos to the gate of the Tribute Courtyard.
"Uncle Yan, Zhen Zhen, have you been waiting for a long time?" After a while, Su Shen really came over first, he was a little thin and a little tired, but his spirit looked very good.
Compared with him, Li Zhengshan and Qi Yu'an are a little sluggish.
The two of them are not like Su Shen, who spent a lot of time practicing martial arts to strengthen their bodies, and the time they spent on martial arts was less than one-tenth of Su Shen's.
Usually, this difference may not be obvious, but when it comes to the real test of their physical fitness, Li Zhengshan and Qi Yuan immediately seem to be powerless.
"It's okay, it didn't last long." Meng Zhen smiled brightly, "Let's go, let's go home." ”
Su Shen bowed slightly, and then turned his head and instructed his two little servants, "Cedar and Junzi stay and wait for the family treasure, he may not come out for a while." ”
Cedar and Shunzi answered "yes" and stayed with Chen Jiabao's servant, while Su Shen returned to Su's house with Yan Zhenwu, Meng Zhen, Li Zhengshan, and Qi Yu'an's master and servant.
