Although it is said that beef for pork is a fair trade that you and I will.

But when the two meet, how can they take advantage of others?

After all, the pork at this time is too worthless, and the poor who can't afford to eat beef and mutton regard pork as a regular dish on the table, so if they want to eat more beef, Liu Chenxing is only willing to exchange one pound of pork belly for Xue Yuan's two taels of beef, and it is enough to have a mouthful.

Thinking that after an hour of morning exercise, you can eat beef, and she also slept against the pillar and had a sore back, Liu Chenxing woke up half an hour earlier than before, and saw that his father and brother were still lying on the straw mat, and the four masters and servants of the Xue family who were resting on the other side with them had not yet woken up, and she did not alarm everyone, and quietly withdrew from the abandoned hall.

It's the weather of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, and it's a little hot in early summer at noon, but it's still a little cool in the morning and evening.

The morning breeze blew in the mountains and forests, and the gray cloth dress on his body was blown away, and he had goosebumps all over his body.

But in the end, it is about to enter summer, especially after a whole day of rain, I saw that under the gray sky, the weeds in the nearby abandoned yard are fresh and green, the forest in the distance is deep and quiet, and the air is filled with the smell of new earth, which makes people feel refreshed.

Liu Chenxing was also so cold that he shrank for a moment, then stood on the abutment outside the ruined hall and took a deep breath, feeling the fragrance of the air after the new rain, and after waking up, he went to wash.

She went up the mountain with Liu Qianli to hunt since she was a child, and picnic was a necessary activity to go up the mountain when she was a child, so she practiced a good skill of making a fire, erected the furniture and wooden blocks piled up outside, took out two pieces of flint and a dozen, and set up a fire on the abutment outside the abandoned hall in a short time.

Thinking that I need water for washing and breakfast this morning, I put the clay pot and bowl in the yard last night to catch the rain.

So he took the clay pot and boiled the washing water, cleaned himself up, took the millet he grew at home, and boiled porridge in the clay pot, of course, the two taels of dry beef were indispensable in the porridge.

When all was said and done, the sky was a little brighter again, and a ray of red could be seen blooming in the western sky.

Liu Chenxing didn't delay any longer, took out Liu Qianshan's homemade brush with bamboo rabbit hair, and used the water in the coarse porcelain bowl to practice calligraphy on the steps that had been dried overnight.

When a piece of the Great Sutra was silently written at the beginning, the male and female servants of the Xue family also got up.

The two are also a pair of brothers and sisters, who are the servants of the Xue family, and have served by the side of the Xue family since childhood.

The manservant's name is Ah Zhong, and in the three years that Xue Cheng has been a ranger, he has also developed a good set of picnic instincts.

Together, he quietly withdrew from the hall, planning to cook on the fire, but Liu Chenxing not only boiled up the morning food, but also practiced calligraphy on the ground, he was very surprised, obviously he didn't expect that the top of the Qingyang County Female Test List would actually cook on the fire.

In the end, he followed Xue Cheng to see the world, and found that Liu Chenxing didn't pay attention to himself at all, and was still concentrating on writing, so he picked up his surprise, and stopped and signaled his sister Ah Zhen, who had just come out, not to disturb Liu Niangzi, and the two brothers and sisters cooked together.

When the aroma of the two pots of morning food overflowed, the people in the temple also woke up one after another.

Grandpa Mao's realm of studying in the city is not something that anyone can have, and there are more people, especially when Xue Yuan finished washing, he heard a thing or two from the manservant A Zhongna, and saw the undried water brush on the abutment, so he chattered beside him non-stop.

"Oh my God! You've written so many words! When the hell did you get up!? ”

"Wow! What a fragrant corn porridge! Did you do it too? ”

"That's right! Is this what you showed me last night? You just got up earlier than others to get to the top of the list? ”

……

Liu Chenxing sighed in his heart, and finally finished writing the last word, and couldn't help but be glad that he was fortunate to get up earlier than before, otherwise today's Five Classics of Justice would not be able to be written silently.

She turned to look at Xue Yuan, and found that even if she didn't confess, Xue Yuan could still speak, "Alas! You should also be at the top of the list, let me get up early this morning to practice calligraphy, definitely not. You say you're a few years younger than me, why are you so diligent? Since what age has it been like this? ”

At this opening, several questions were thrown over.

Liu Chenxing was silent, it seemed that she had to set up a cold character again, she used the look of facing everyone in the village school, and said lightly and lukewarmly: "I have been doing this since I was five years old. How? It's simple, just one word—"

As soon as the words stopped, sure enough, Xue Yuan looked curious, blinked a pair of round eyes, and urged: "What is it?" Ah Xing, say it quickly! ”

Liu Chenxing raised his eyebrows, slowly spit out a word, and said, "Poor!" ”

Thinking that Liu Chenxing would say something earth-shattering, the result was a "poor", Xue Yuan was stunned, and when he reacted, Liu Chenxing had already collected the brush, splashed the water in the coarse porcelain bowl, and went back to the waste hall.

Liu Chenxing hurriedly handed over the empty bowl containing water in his hand to practice calligraphy, and when he sat on the straw mat and took the first bite of beef porridge into his mouth, the taste of beef that he had not tasted for thirteen years instantly evoked the memory of his taste buds, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes with satisfaction.

Outside the waste hall, Xue Yuan stomped on his feet, puffed up his cheeks, and said: "I thought Ah Xing was a well-behaved little lady with white skin and beautiful appearance, but it turned out that she was better than me." ”

Xue Cheng watched from the sidelines, he traveled all over Hebei Road as a ranger, although he had good food and drink all the way, but he had seen and heard a lot, and he still knew that the life of the peasant family was extremely poor, and he glanced at his sister when he heard the words, and said thoughtfully: "I think Liu Niangzi is not completely deceiving you, they are peasant families in Qinghe County, and the imperial examination is their only way out." ”

After saying a while, he suddenly smiled, so that the ordinary face that was five points similar to Xue Yuan was also dyed with Xue Yuan's naivety, and said: "But I and other squire's children, if we want to get ahead, there is only one way to get ahead, the only strong point is that there is a way out, and they carry the hopes of the whole family, there is no way out." ”

As soon as the words fell, the maid Ah Zhen also prepared the morning food, and came out to call the Xue brothers and sisters: "Ah Lang, lady, you can go in and use the morning food." ”

The brother and sister were also hungry, so they ended the conversation and went back to the ruined hall to eat without mentioning it.

Since both sides are going to Qinghe to take the exam, the next road is their own.

Young people always yearn for the outside world, feeling that the sky outside is high and the sea is vast, and there are infinite possibilities for them to show their ambitions, so they have great enthusiasm and curiosity about people and things outside.

Xue Cheng has traveled all over the large and small counties of Hebei Province, which can be said to be well-informed, coupled with a wide range of friends, very talkative, and chatting about the experience of the ranger along the way, which is enough to open the eyes of the brothers and sisters who went out for the first time, and also makes Liu Qingshan, who already admires the ranger and the sword world, highly respected.

As for Xue Yuan's chattering temperament, how could she let Xue Cheng finish talking alone, she is also smart, she has not been to as many places as Xue Cheng, when thinking of mentioning the name of the talent, Liu Chenxing seemed to be quite interested, so he told some secrets about going through the back door.

Liu Chenxing knows that there are unspoken rules in any era, but she can't touch them, but now that Xue Yuan is popular, the journey is boring, so you can listen to it.

Of course, as the children of a rich family, the Xue brothers and sisters are willing to associate with them, and they must have a plan to cater to them everywhere. And the biggest value of himself is estimated to be how to top the high school county exam.

Liu Chenxing knew it in his heart, and he didn't hide his selfishness, so he told them in return.

In this way, the two sides get along well.

After walking for three days in a row, there was a bit of true friendship, and Qinghe finally arrived.
