Xiao Xiaoyou and Ye Li sat and ate steamed buns like this, and they didn't speak.

Xiao Xiaoyou saw that Ye Li had finished eating, and asked, "Don't you need to feed the broken snow today?" ”

Ye Li clapped his hands: "My father said don't feed it on a rainy day." ”

"Why?"

"I don't know, maybe there's some reason."

Then the two men stopped talking again and looked at the plane tree together.

In addition to practicing martial arts, Xiao Xiaoyou is not a person who can calm down, but at this time his heart is extremely quiet, Ye Li used to tell him that she likes to sit here in a daze, and then every time her father leaves home, Xiao Xiaoyou will accompany her to sit here together, and slowly Xiao Xiaoyou also likes this feeling of emptying everything, without thinking about other miscellaneous things, at this time he will imagine that he is a free swallow, flying high in the sky overlooking this courtyard, overlooking Yanjiang City, and then all the way to the south, with the wind and clouds, Fly over the mountains depicted in those books, all the way to Xishu and stop at the plane tree or eaves in another yard.

After a long time, the rain was a little lighter, Ye Li also took an oil-paper umbrella and went to Sun Fusheng's house with Xiao Xiaoyou, and it was Sun Fusheng's mother who opened the door, and the grandmother welcomed the two of them in and brought some homemade snacks for the two.

Sun Fusheng was doing his homework at this time, so the two waited in the room and whispered. Since Sun Fusheng doesn't eat sweets, the dim sum made by his grandmother is often light in taste, and the two of them only taste the dim sum given by their grandmother.

Soon, Sun Fusheng finished his morning class, and the rain outside the house had not stopped, Xiao Xiaoyou and Ye Li were left by their grandmother to eat.

After the meal, the three children started to play a game, first guessing boxing, who lost will drink water, and finally Xiao Xiaoyou lost the most, ran to the toilet many times and couldn't drink, so the three of them played with the pitcher again, Sun Fusheng was not as good as Ye Li and Xiao Xiaoyou in this regard, lost the most, and then played Flying Flower Order, hide and seek, play and play The sky is getting darker and the rain is gradually resting, and the years are getting longer.

The young man didn't know that the years were short, and he sighed that the sky was long. It has been more than two years since the cold came and the summer came, and the autumn went to the winter.

Two years is not a long time, but it is enough for a child to mature, Xiao Xiaoyou is more stable than more than two years ago.

It was the wax moon, just after the end of the year, the north wind was fierce, and it was rare to fall in the south.

Xiao Xiaoyou got up early in the morning today, first went to the practice room to practice daily, and then put on a white jacket and went out with a bag without even eating breakfast, and not to Ye Li's house, but to Sun Fusheng's house.

Sanshengtang, which usually opens before dawn, is not open today, because today is a big day for Sun Fusheng to enter Beijing to take the exam.

Three years ago, Sun Fu was born in the autumn of the lift, and then studied at home for more than three years, and now at the age of sixteen, he is more and more elegant and wonderful.

When Xiao Xiaoyou went, he was catching up with Sun Fusheng eating breakfast, sitting on the side with gray hair and beard, the middle-aged man was his father Sun Yunsheng, and his grandmother led Xiao Xiaoyou to sit down together.

Sun Fusheng was still chewing slowly and meticulously as usual. Seeing Sun Fusheng like this, Xiao Xiaoyou was not in a hurry, holding a porridge bowl in his hand to dispel the cold, and began to drink the porridge carefully.

On the side, the grandmother was full of anxiety, but she was helpless, she had explained everything she should have explained last night, and her children never let themselves worry about it, but at this time, it was a lifelong event, and how could she easily rest assured.

Sun Yunsheng gently held his grandmother's hand: "Madam, don't be impatient." ”

The grandmother blushed, slapped Sun Yunsheng's hand away, and said softly, "The children are still there." ”

"Ahem." Sun Yunsheng coughed twice, and his face was slightly red.

Xiao Xiaoyou was holding a bowl to drink porridge, and at this time he hurriedly put the bowl on the table and buried his head in eating, while Sun Fusheng smiled and said nothing.

After the meal, under the urging of the second elder, Sun Fusheng and Xiao Xiaoyou went to the county yamen together, ready to receive the fire card and travel expenses.

When he arrived at the Yamen, it didn't bother, as a lifter, Sun Fusheng was already a famous big man in this Yanjiang City, and the official hurriedly went to tell the county commander Gao Youliang, and then welcomed the two in.

Gao Youliang learned of the intention of the two, and hurriedly took the fire card and silver and handed it over to Sun Fusheng: "I have prepared these for a long time, but I don't know when you will go to the exam, otherwise I should have sent them to you a long time ago." ”

Sun Fusheng said: "Brother is laughing, how can you bother my brother." ”

Sun Fusheng saw that there were forty taels of silver, and said: "Brother, according to the system, the travel fee issued by the imperial court should be twenty taels of silver, here?" ”

Gao Youliang laughed and said: "Brother Xian, don't worry, there are still twenty taels I gave you, and you have to use silver along the way. ”

Sun Fusheng made a gesture and said: "That foolish brother is respectful, it is better to obey his fate." ”

Seeing Sun Fusheng accept it, Gao Youliang smiled more kindly.

After a short time, Gao Youliang sent the two out of the yamen.

On the way back, Xiao Xiaoyou couldn't help asking, "Why did he pay you twenty taels of silver out of his own pocket?" ”

Sun Fusheng replied: "It's just a transaction, today he gave me twenty taels of snowflake silver, if I ascend to the top in the future, I will naturally have to pay it back, and then it can't be just twenty taels of silver." ”

Xiao Xiaoyou thought for a moment and said, "In that case, why do you still accept these twenty taels of silver?" ”

Sun Fusheng replied again: "I accept it because I am willing to accept his affection, and he is naturally willing to take care of the people around me, if I am unwilling to accept this affection, why should he take care of it." He gave me twenty taels of silver, not just the twenty taels of silver that I could see, if it was really only twenty taels, I would only pay him two hundred taels in the future, and if he was smart, he would only want more. ”

Xiao Xiaoyou sighed: "You haven't taken the exam yet, you are already familiar with the officialdom." ”

Sun Fusheng smiled: "It's just written in the book, and the more you read, the more you understand." ”

At this moment, a team of people came from the west and went on a rampage, Xiao Xiaoyou pulled Sun Fusheng to his side to avoid it, Xiao Xiaoyou couldn't help but stretch out his hand and scolded: "Don't you have long eyes?" Can't see anyone? ”

The last person in the group turned around, his face was veiled, he couldn't see the true face, he heard Xiao Xiaoyou's scolding, and reached out to pull out the knife behind his back, but was stopped by the person in front, so he reluctantly turned his head.

Seeing a group of people riding away, although Xiao Xiaoyou was not angry, he didn't cause trouble, and went home with Sun Fusheng.

When I got home, my grandmother had already packed her luggage, but in fact, she had almost packed it last night, and she took it out again and again at this time.

The four of them sat in the hall, Sun Fusheng's mother took Sun Fusheng's hand and kept saying something considerate, Sun Yunsheng sat on the main seat and closed his eyes to recuperate, Xiao Xiaoyou was bored and snorted lightly.

Sun Yunsheng took advantage of his grandmother's speech and asked, "When are you going to leave?" ”

Sun Fusheng replied: "Wait a minute, Xiaoyu also said that he was coming to see me off yesterday, but it was delayed somehow." ”

Xiao Xiaoyou was sitting bored, so he stood up and said, "I'll take a look." ”

Xiao Xiaoyou was opening the courtyard door, and he bumped into a gray and white robe, and a person who looked like a boy in a big coat was about to knock on the door.

After a closer look, the person's name is Xie Gui, but he is the son of Ye Li's deceased mother's sister, that is, Ye Li's cousin, because of his love for Ye Li, he has always been at odds with Xiao Xiaoyou and Sun Fusheng, at this time he appeared here Xiao Xiaoyou is eyes glared: "What are you doing here?" ”

Xie Gui carried a pink bag in one hand, flicked the cuff with the other and said, "Are you willing to come here?" ”

He threw the burden in his hand to Xiao Xiaoyou, and took out a letter from his cuff and threw it over: "Xiaoyu said that it was inconvenient for her to send it." ”

Xiao Xiaoyou looked at the burden and letter in his hand and said stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

Xie Gui straightened his sleeves and sneered: "Inconvenience is inconvenience, what's the point." Then he turned and wanted to leave.

Xiao Xiaoyou quickly grabbed Xie Gui's sleeve: "You make it clear, what about Xiao Yu'er?" Why did you send these things? ”

Xie Gui couldn't break free, so he said: "Of course she asked me to send it, you let it go, otherwise I will report to the official!" ”

At this moment, Sun Fusheng came over from the hall: "Xiaoyou, what's the matter?" ”

Xiao Xiaoyou replied: "He said that it was inconvenient for Xiao Yu'er to send him, but Xiao Yu'er just said yesterday that he was going to send you, how could it be suddenly inconvenient to send you, I was about to make this thank you clear." ”

Sun Fusheng saw the burden and letter in Xiao Xiaoyou's hand, and probably understood what was going on, so he said, "Xiaoyou, you let go first." ”

Although Xiao Xiaoyou was reluctant, he also knew that it was useless to entangle, so he let go of his hand.

Xie Gui stood still, straightened his clothes, and scolded Xiao Xiaoyou: "Vulgar! ”

Seeing that Xiao Xiaoyou wanted to reach out and grab him again, he turned around and ran.

Xiao Xiaoyou clenched his fists: "Count you running fast." ”

Sun Fusheng took the letter in Xiao Xiaoyou's arms, the letter was not sealed, and it was still a little wrinkled, so it should have been written in a hurry.

Sun Fusheng and Xiao Xiaoyou took it apart together, although the handwriting on it was scribbled, it was indeed Ye Li's handwriting:

Xiaoyou, Fu Sheng, today my father doesn't know what's wrong, I have to not be allowed to come out, I said that today is the day when Fu Sheng went to Beijing to catch the exam, I wanted to climb over the wall to come out, but he stayed in my room, so that I could write this letter, just Xie Gui came over today, I waited and asked him to send the letter and some dry food and plates I prepared for Fu Sheng. Fu Sheng, be careful all the way to the capital, Xiaoyou and I are waiting for you to return with a red horse.

Xiao Xiaoyou finished reading the letter, patted Sun Fusheng's shoulder and laughed: "Xiao Yu'er is right, she and I are waiting for you to wear red on a white horse." But her father is too much, today this special situation is not allowed Xiao Yu'er to send you, even if he looks down on me, he shouldn't stop Xiao Yu'er to send you. ”

Sun Fusheng replied: "Then you must be to blame." ”

The two returned to the hall while playing, and Sun Fusheng said that he was about to set off.

"Don't you wait for the little fish?" Grandmother asked.

Sun Fusheng explained: "Something happened to Xiaoyu, she can't come, so you don't have to wait for her." ”

The grandmother said, "Something happened? Does it matter? Do you need to check it out? ”

Xiao Xiaoyou lifted the pink bag and replied: "No, it's inconvenient for her to come over, but she has asked someone to send it to wrap up." ”

The grandmother said, "According to me, the snow is heavy today, the weather is not good, and I should wait for a few days before the weather is a little warmer." As he spoke, he glanced at Sun Yunsheng complainingly.

Sun Fusheng said with a smile: "The year is cold, and I will not change the green of the pines and cypresses, nor will I change the ambition of Fusheng." ”

When his grandmother was about to say something, Sun Yunsheng had already stood up and said, "Fu Sheng is right, the ambition of Qingshan is difficult to change, so let's set off early, don't miss the time." ”。

The grandmother said helplessly: "You two ......"

So the grandmother relieved the burden sent by Ye Li again, took out the things inside and put them together with the luggage that she had packed before, Xiao Xiaoyou picked up the luggage and sent Sun Fusheng out with the second elder of the Sun family.
