Chapter 241: The Year of the Exam

Slabs, logs, slabs......

Yan Yu held her breath, this was much better than she thought!

It's a ...... A raft like a ship!

Of course, you can't use these two door panels.

Qi Wu sawed wood and made boards according to the size of the raft.

There are no modern tools that are so convenient, Qi Wu relies on his strength and wood to fight.

Yan Yu did a little favor without a trace.

A few people were busy until the evening, and the converted raft finally began to take shape.

Yan Lao Er can't wait to try it.

Try it when you say it.

Qi Da and Qi Si, one of them lifted aside, and four adults and one child walked towards the river.

At this time, a lot of people gathered by the river, those who went down to fish, and those who watched people go down to fish, young and old.

When they saw them coming, they all looked at them in surprise.

"Yan Er, what are you doing here?" Someone shouted and asked.

Yan Lao Er also shouted back: "It's so conspicuous, can't you see it?" Isn't this a raft! ”

"Hahaha! I just saw it, so I didn't dare to admit it.

Isn't there a bridge in our village to Fucheng, it's not too far, and you have an ox cart at home, what are you doing with this raft? It doesn't save a lot of legs and feet. ”

"Isn't this thinking of walking from the river to buy food, and if it can be done, it is better to walk from the river than from the ground."

As soon as I heard him say that he was buying food, the big guys came around.

"Yan Er, is there anything to say here?" Luo Da asked.

Yan Lao Er is very willing to tell everyone what it is like outside, sooner or later they will have to go out of the village, the more they know, the less worried they will be outside.

"Like me and Qi Si went to Longxing this time, we both carried the official document given by the eldest master, and we also calculated the tolerance, we met a post station on the road, and we didn't need money to go in and live in people's homes, but if you poured some boiling water and prepared some rations, why don't you give people a few copper plates.

There is also an official who meets the inspection to check your road guide documents, and you have to add a lot of tea money to people. ”

"What if you don't give it?" I don't know who asked.

"It's okay if you don't give it, if people are not happy in their hearts, it will be difficult for you.

The words on the road guide strip make you memorize it several times.

If you make a mistake in reciting it once, you can be taken away directly, and you will be locked up first.

When we go back and look for someone, they say 'oh', saying that it was a misunderstanding, a mistake, you say, what else can we ...... do?"

Yan Lao Er said earnestly: "So as the old saying goes, the poor are rich, and if you spend money outside, you can just give up a few copper plates." ”

"In that case, it's good to walk in the river, you can't touch anyone."

"Why can't you touch it, there must be people who sail on the boat."

"That's okay, we're all just as bitter haha."

……

Yan Lao Er listened to their discussion for a while, and said: "When we came back, we didn't take the official road, we took a shortcut, the pothole, but it killed me, think about it, it's better to walk in the river, and you can pull more things." ”

"That's it......" he smacked his mouth: "We can't afford a boat, let's not make a raft to see if it works, if it does, I'll take a trip and try it." ”

"Yan Er, I'll help you." Luo Da was the first to speak.

Others have also expressed their willingness to contribute.

Yan Lao Er said that he still needed two smaller bamboo beds.

Immediately, someone shouted yes and ran home to get the ......

A few people who went down to catch the net hurriedly collected the net, divided half of the catch and sent it to the Yan family, and then folded it back.

Join the wood movers.

Yan Lao Er felt that everyone was so enthusiastic, it was a pity not to let them do something, so he took advantage of the large number of people to build the small ferry he envisioned first.

……

Sturdy wooden piles are driven at the edge of the riverbank, deep into the water.

"Dad, are you driving too many stakes?" Yan Yu saw that the uncle in the village was still smashing the wooden stake, and couldn't help asking.

Yan Laoer: "Not only is it too much, but it is also too deep." ”

He was really, speechless.

Yan Yu was silent, looked at the piles that were not much taller than the river, and sighed.

"Towards the good side of Dad, these piles are too strong, if our raft is tied to it, we don't have to worry about being swept away by the water."

Yan Lao Er: I wasn't comforted at all.

Qi Wu began to lay the board on it, and several people stood in the water to help him fix it.

Yan Lao Er and Yan Yu couldn't get close.

I can only watch from afar......

"What do you say about plastering the cement on it?" Yan Lao Er had a whim.

Yan Yu thought very seriously, and then shook his head: "It's not fast enough." ”

"By the way, when I was at the Qi family, why did you drag me?" Yan Lao Er asked.

"In addition to the raw lacquer and black lacquer that Uncle Qi said, there are also red lacquer, green lacquer, yellow lacquer ......" Yan Yu recalled: "But these colored ones are not something we can use, and there are a lot of things to say here." ”

Yan Lao Er rejoiced: "It's good that you went with me, otherwise I stupidly said to buy a red paint brush, but it would be broken." ”

He couldn't help but say again: "But how beautiful the red gate is, the joy is still conspicuous, it's just a color, what do you say they are poor about." ”

Yan Yu: "Dad, don't worry, we can still look forward to it, the red gate is the Zhu Gate, the princes and nobles and the officials, and they have to be officials of sufficient grade, and the doors of the house are painted with this color, Lao Yan is no problem." ”

When Yan Lao Er heard this, he laughed.

"That's okay, let's just wait, a good meal is not afraid of being late, sooner or later the door of our house can change color."

"By the way, Dad, did you inquire about the exam?"

Yan Lao Er said sadly and angrily: "Why didn't you inquire, next year, it can be called the year of the exam, the exam will be taken at the beginning of the year, and the exam will be taken all the time!"

The county test is in February, and the prefectural test is in April...... Township test in August. ”

Yan Lao Er couldn't say anything.

If Lao Yan wants to take the exam, he will have to wait until August of the next year.

Before that, the county test came first.

His eldest nephew, and poor him, will be sent to the examination room after the New Year.

The eldest nephew is willing, he is unwilling!

Yan Yu: ......

In addition to sympathy, it is still sympathy.

"But it's a coincidence, the autumn of August is over, and the spring of the next year can be connected in February, don't you say it's interesting, if there is that kind of scholar, all the way to the exam, the last year was still a small people, and the next year it became a jinshi or something, waiting to be assigned to be an official, tsk, this span is too big."

In fact, he still has a little hope in his heart.

Yan Yu was impressed: "Dad, you really have a lot of inquiries!" ”

"Do you think your uncle has a chance?" Yan Lao Er whispered and asked his daughter expectantly.

Yan Yu's face was unfathomable, his little hand stroked his non-existent beard, pretending to be an old voice, and pulling a long voice: "There is a great opportunity!" ”

You look at me, I look at you, hahaha laughing.

Li Xuemei saw the father and daughter talking about something together.

Seeing that they were smiling, they subconsciously looked around.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on the small ferry crossing by the river, which was about to be completed, and it was dark and no one noticed this side.

"It's getting dark, why did you come out?" When Yan Lao Er saw her, he hurriedly ran over.

Li Xuemei: "Mama Rong has prepared the meals, why don't you come back, I'll come over to see when you can get better." ”
