"Stinky boy." Liuli scolded with a smile after seeing it, "It's like an ordinary exam." ”

The college examination is presided over by the school in charge of academic affairs in a province, and those who pass are called students, that is, Xiucai. After achieving the fame of Xiucai, the imperial court will not only exempt the family from taxes, but sometimes also provide financial support.

After passing the examination, Xiucai can really start the road of the imperial examination, even if he can't go further to be an official, he will be respected, and Han Xiucai of Dawan Village is like this.

Of course, a talent who has repeatedly tried and failed will also be stared at and ridiculed by the world, but it is extremely rare for someone like Amber to dare to try it at the age of ten.

Liuli pondered for two days before writing a reply to his home.

talked about what she saw and heard along the way, the prosperity and beauty of Jinling, the beauty and elegance of Hangzhou County, and the famous mountains and rivers she saw along the way, and the friends she met such as Fu Yun.

said that if there is a chance, the eldest sister and younger siblings must also come out for a walk and see this vast world.

After the foot shop in Hang County opened, Zhou Xiaoshu proposed that he wanted to go back, and he used to go back every few months, one to see his family, and the other to report and negotiate with Liuli about the situation of the foot shop.

This time, Liuli came together, in addition to walking while the tour itinerary is relatively slow, there is also Liuli by his side, and many things can be decided on the spot.

But in the end, it's been more than half a year, and it's time to go back.

When Liuli handed over the written letter to Zhou Xiaoshu, the latter was slightly surprised: "Erniang, don't you go back with me?" ”

"I've finally made it here, do I have to play it all over again when I go back?" Ruri said half-seriously, half-jokingly.

"......Forehead," Zhou Xiaoshu was speechless, and then thought that he would go back quickly, and Erniang would inevitably be bumpy: "Then Erniang is here waiting for me to come back?" ”

"Well," Liuli nodded, "Hang County is very beautiful, and I love this place very much." ”

Zhou Xiaoshu returned to Xingping with Liuli's family letter, and Liuli stayed in Hangzhou County for more than a month, in addition to watching the scenery in a daze, he often went to the foot shop to help, just when Liuli felt that he was almost past the people of Hang County, Zhou Xiaoshu finally came back, and brought back a lot of marinade sachets.

"The family is fine, Erniang doesn't have to worry." The news that Zhou Xiaoshu brought back was similar to what was written in the letter, "Big sister is not so worried, and I want me to tell you to enjoy the game and go back when you are happy." ”

Liuli is happy, but she has seen all the corners of this Hangzhou County, inside and out, and now that Xiaoshu is coming back next week, she will naturally continue to go south.

"You rest for a few days, and then let's go." Liuli Road.

"Erniang might as well stay in Hangzhou County, and it won't be as prosperous as this if you go further south." Zhou Xiaoshu hesitated, the south has been called a barren land since ancient times, and the Yundian area is even more fierce, with many poisonous insects, snakes and ants, Zhou Xiaoshu is a little worried about the safety of Liuli.

"Don't underestimate me," Ruri said with a smile, "Although I haven't been there myself, I know that the Far South is not as terrible as the world says. ”

In his previous life, he traveled to places like Yunnan, Guizhou, and Hainan, and Liuli was not unseen.

Most of the Han people at this time believed in the phrase "if they are not of my race, their hearts will be different", so for the people living in the south, they will have fear or hatred because they do not understand.

Coupled with the climate, most northerners can't adapt to it, and some people will not adapt to the water and soil or be bitten by poisonous insects, which gradually evolves into rumors such as miasma and death.

"What's more, there is still our foot shop in the south, so you don't have to be afraid of it."

Liuli insisted, and Zhou Xiaoshu had no choice, so the two of them had to go on the road together. However, for the sake of insurance, two strong men were hired to accompany him.

"Does it need to be so exaggerated?" Looking at the changed coachman, Liuli was a little surprised.

"It's always good to be careful." Zhou Xiaoshu said, in the past, when he went south from Hang County, he also had to hire one or two strong and healthy people to accompany him, not to mention that this time there was Liuli, so he should be more cautious.

Fortunately, there was nothing to do along the way, and the two of them went to the foot shop in Chang County and Xiang County smoothly, leaving enough marinade bags, and after meeting the two shopkeepers, they continued to set off south.

Further south, there is no foot shop that has been built, and they came this time for another purpose, which is to build a foot shop in Yunzhou.

The people were in contact earlier, at that time, Liuli had not been separated from Zhao Mingxu, and the last time Zhou Xiaoshu went back, he also quietly met with Ace, and specially determined the people on the Yunzhou side, so he really dared to continue walking.

The distance from Xiangjun to Yunzhou is quite long, and they rarely have to spend the night outside.

At this time, Liuli also realized the benefits of the two strong men, and in a place where they are not familiar with life, they will feel a lot more at ease with these two people.

On the fourth day of the carriage, it was getting late, and they finally saw a little light not far away, and when they entered, they were sure that it was a simple inn.

Several people have been sleeping in the wild for two consecutive days, and now they see a guest house with a house and hot water, which can be described as tears in their eyes.

"See, how necessary it is to have our foot shops in these places." Ruri said jokingly.

The four of them entered the guest house, the inside was very simple, there were no guests, and it was estimated that the owner of the store who greeted them was the shopkeeper, who was going back to settle the accounts at the counter, and saw them busy catching up.

The food is far worse than that of Liuli's foot shop, only some food such as steamed buns and cooking cakes, but for them at this time, it would be good to be able to drink hot soup.

The four of them drank a full meal hungry and thirsty, and then felt drowsy, probably because they were too tired from the journey for days, and after using the meal, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Out of vigilance, the two of them shared a room, ready to take turns sleeping alternately.

"Erniang, sleep, I'll just keep watch." When you go out, you don't pay so much attention to it, and Liuli has always been shown in men's clothes, and it is not strange to live in the same room with Zhou Xiaoshu.

They are also sisters and brothers, although they don't feel anything, but after entering the house, Zhou Xiaoshu still sat directly at the only table: "Erniang sleep, I'll keep vigil here." ”

"Okay, I'll sleep first, and you can call me in the middle of the night", Liuli said, "You're tired all day, you can't help but rest." ”

Zhou Xiaoshu originally planned to keep a night like this, but at this moment, for some reason, he felt extremely tired, so he didn't hold on, and nodded in response.

Liuli lay down on the bed in the guest house, lay down with her clothes, and fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.

Zhou Xiaoshu, who was sitting at the table, tried his best to stay awake, but his upper and lower eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and his head was about to fall asleep little by little.

When he realized that this was not right, he wanted to shout but couldn't make a sound, and his head slammed on the table with a muffled thud.
