For the next many days, Fu Lou didn't dare to go to the grove to practice Shaoyang Gong.
His father didn't say anything when he knew what was going on, but his mother felt that Fu Lou was a little strange these days. But strange to strange, his mother asked Fu Lou many times if he was unwell and other questions, but Fu Lou slept late. After doing this a few times, Fu Lou's mother didn't force him after thinking that he was lazy, after all, for a nine-year-old child, occasionally being lazy is not a big deal.
After this incident, Fu Lou seemed to have matured a lot all of a sudden, and during the day, he would talk to his grandfather about the stories about gods and ghosts recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". Fortunately, Li Cinian traveled abroad to study for many years when he was young, and he knew a lot of miscellaneous studies, so he was not stumped by Fu Lou, but he thought that Xiao Fu Lou was more studious and more diligent, and even this kind of miscellaneous book had to be investigated.
It didn't take long for the Fu father and son's previous concerns about someone tracking down the whereabouts of the man and the woman as usual, and so far did not appear. The quicksand river is still so quiet, and Gao Laozhuang is still so calm and peaceful.
Fu Lou began to practice in the woods again as usual, and went to his grandfather's house to study during the day, preparing to participate in the Xiucai exam to be held in the county at the beginning of next year, which is only held once every two years in the Eastern Dragon Empire. Fu Lou secretly made up his mind, this time he must be admitted to Xiucai, otherwise his grandfather will be very disappointed, he doesn't want to make his grandfather sad because of this.
---------------
"The blessings are full of blessings every year, and the spring is always there every year."
With the sound of firecrackers, Fu Lou pasted the handwritten couplet on the gate of the courtyard, marking the beginning of the new year and also means that he is ten years old. Over the past year, Fu Lou has been studying his homework wholeheartedly, preparing for the township exam, and there is almost no time to play. Even his grandfather rarely went out to visit friends in the past year, and wholeheartedly taught Fu Lou to relieve his feelings.
When Gao Laozhuang celebrates the New Year, it is also a time for the whole village to relax, and even the elderly over seventy years old are very happy, because they can get a fairly rich offering from the clan. This is one of the fine traditions of respecting the old and loving the young, and it is also an important reason why there are many long-lived elderly people in Gao Laozhuang.
When Gao Laozhuang celebrates the New Year, it is the happiest day for children. For ten days, almost all the children were playing in the threshing floor in front of the village.
Fu Lou is no exception, he and his peers in the village play and laugh to their heart's content, releasing all the pressure of studying hard at home for a year. At this time, Fu Lou was full of confidence, believing that it would be an easy thing for him to take the test.
Two months later, on a sunny day, Fu Lou came to the county seat to participate in the biennial Xiucai exam when his grandfather insisted on accompanying him.
With a solid foundation and outstanding memory and understanding, Fu Lou passed the township test, and with the fourth place in the township test, Shun became the youngest talent in the county this year.
To Fu Lou's surprise, the top three talents in the township examination were all forty or fifty-year-old children who were fathers or grandfathers. This matter is also a little strange, these three old students have not been admitted to Xiucai for so many years, and this time the results will be so good.
In front of the township list, many candidates also had a lot of discussions about the three old children. Some people say that the county school ranked these three people in the top three in order to suppress Fu Lou's edge, and some people say that the county school is suspected of pitiing these three people, and some people say that the three people went through the back door. In short, there are different opinions, and it is not known which is true and which is false. And since this township test, Fu Lou has gradually gained the name of a prodigy, but this is a later story.
The location of Gao Laozhuang is under the jurisdiction of Shenxian County, the original name of Shenxian County is Jiwo County, because in ancient times, there were flocks of pheasants here, and there were pheasant nests everywhere, and later it was changed to Shenxian County for some reason. There is a saying that it is because there is a fairy mountain in the eastern mountains, and there are some legendary stories on the fairy mountain, I don't know if it is true or not, and I have not seen anyone really go there.
On the day of the unveiling, the weather was sunny, the breeze was light, and the sun was shining, as if it set off the happy mood of Fu Blacksmith at this time.
Fu Lou went to Shenxian County with his father to check the list, and his grandfather was going to fight for it, but his grandfather didn't fight for his father this time. For this reason, his father was still proud all the way, and his arrogant appearance seemed to have won a great battle. Fu Lou saw his father's forgetfulness all the way, and secretly felt funny.
Seeing Fu Lou's name ranked fourth on the township list, Fu Lou's father was very happy, and immediately laughed wildly, like a thunderbolt from the sky, as if he was a talent in the examination, which caused many scholars to look at him, thinking that a rough man who was so strong, five big and three thick, and full of calluses could actually be admitted to Xiucai? Seeing this, the children who did not pass the examination turned their heads and left in shame, leaving behind a Xiao Suo figure. Some people are really happy, and some people are worried.
Fu Lou was a little surprised to see his father laughing so wildly, and shook his head and sighed speechless for a while, he didn't expect that Yan Sù's father also had such a side.
After a long time, Fu Lou's father stopped laughing, and when he saw almost everyone around looking at him, he couldn't help but blush, smiled embarrassedly, and then said to Fu Lou: "Lou'er, let's go! Let's be happy today, let's have two cups of father and son." Anyway, regardless of whether Fu Loutong disagreed or not, he strode straight with him, leaving a group of scholars who were a little in a daze.
Fu Lou muttered secretly: "It's not that you want to drink it yourself, what do you want me to do, I won't drink." But he did not say it, and it was not appropriate to disturb his father's interest at this moment.
Soon, the two of them came to a large three-story tavern with extremely elegant decorations.
The name of the wine shop is "Fairy Wine Shop", and the building sign above the gate is decorated magnificently, but it is elegant. On the red gate, which symbolizes joy, there is a golden couplet on the left and right: "Delicious food attracts customers from all over the world, and the fragrance of wine leads to the fairy in the cave".
Fu Lou sighed secretly: "What a magnificent wine shop!"
Fu Lou This is the first time to go to such a magnificent wine shop. Even the last time he and his grandfather came to Shenxian County to participate in the township test, the two of them only ate steamed buns and noodles in a small shop on the street, and they couldn't afford to eat in an expensive wine restaurant.
The qiē in the fairy wine shop made him very curious for Fu Lou, who had just seen the world. The two clear eyes turned around, looking east and west, looking like they couldn't see enough. The guys at the liquor store secretly laughed when they saw him like this.
Although Fu Lou's father has long been yearning for the fairy wine,
The wine shop is three stories high, and the father and son went up to the second floor and found a place to sit near the window. Upstairs, whether it is the tables, chairs, or coffee tables, they are all carefully made of fine wood and painted with precious southern lacquer, and each one is shiny, which is much better than the tables, chairs and benches that are randomly assembled from their own wooden blocks.
Blacksmith Fu asked for three dishes, one plate of braised beef, one plate of Xunjiang fish fillet, one plate of stir-fried chicken nuggets, and he also asked for a bottle of wine.
The wine is the best wine in the fairy wine shop, and ordinary people can't afford to drink it at all. The name of this wine is "fairy wine", which means that after drinking this wine, he is happy and like a fairy. There are also people who say that this wine is brewed with the brewing method handed down by the immortals on the fairy mountain, whether this is the case, it is impossible to test, after all, there is no real evidence, everyone just listens.
Fu Lou's father usually likes to drink some wine, and he has been yearning for "fairy wine" for a long time, and he is very greedy. It's a pity that the "fairy wine" is too expensive, and he has always been reluctant to buy a bottle to drink.
This time, Fu Lou was the fourth in the exam, so Fu Lou's father was quite happy in his heart, gritted his teeth, and spent several months of ironsmithing to buy such a bottle. Fu Lou finally understood at this time, no wonder Fu Blacksmith took Fu Lou straight to the fairy wine shop, instead of going to other wine shops, obviously for this "fairy wine".
Through the window, Fu Lou watched the people coming and going on the street, rubbing shoulders and busy, a busy scene. There are dignitaries and nobles on the street, as well as literati and scholars, and even peddlers and pawns. The sound of shouting, the sound of selling, the sound of the ear. Fu Lou quietly felt the atmosphere completely different from Gao Laozhuang, one was noisy and prosperous, the other was quiet and peaceful, and each had its own experience.
At this time, three middle-aged people came to the table next door, two men and one woman, all in their thirties, with a white square scarf on their heads, wearing a clean Taoist robe, carrying a three-foot long sword, dressed as a Taoist priest, and looking quite a bit of fairy wind and bones.
