Chapter 97: The Capital City of Texas
Chen Xiao and Fang Yu asked a few more inns, and finally found one with a room.
The two asked for a room, settled the carriage, and went out to find a tailor's shop.
There are many shops in the county, and the two quickly find a tailor shop that specializes in making clothes. Chen Xiao took out the dismantled satin quilt cover and said that he wanted to make a set of "middle clothes" and a set of "inner clothes". In fact, it is a set of long clothes and trousers, a set of tank top shorts, and two sets of pajamas. Chen Xiao also drew a pattern of clothes for this purpose.
The tailor's eyes straightened at the sight of the fabric, he had never seen such a delicate and silky fabric. He opened and measured the amount of cloth, and he was shocked by the breadth of the fabric.
The size of the quilt cover is two meters by two meters three, and when disassembled, there are two pieces of fabric.
"When will it be done?" Chen Xiao asked.
"Three or four days." The tailor's eyes were sunken in the fabric and could not be pulled out.
"Can you hurry? We were just passing through Dexian and wouldn't be staying here for long. ”
The tailor looked up suspiciously: "You are not from Dexian?" ”
"Yes. Can the clothes be made quickly? ”
The tailor thought for a moment and said, "It will be the morning after tomorrow at the earliest." ”
"Can you get the clothes early the day after tomorrow?"
"Hmm." The tailor nodded.
Fang Yu noticed the tailor's expression, looked at the small shop, and didn't say anything.
After measuring the size and paying the deposit, the two left the tailor shop and walked around the county seat.
Fang Yudao: "Look where there are vegetables for sale, let's buy some fresh meat and vegetables, and I'll cook for you when I go back." He winked as he spoke, looking forward to the two-person world in the space.
Chen Xiaodao: "What time is it now, where will there be vegetables to sell." ”
At this time, it is about four o'clock in the afternoon, and people here are used to selling vegetables in the morning, and after noon, they are almost gone.
Fang Yudao: "Let's take a look around, what if there is." Then he said, "You should grow some vegetables in your space." ”
Chen Xiaobai glanced at him: "Usually I eat out, who is growing vegetables in the space for them?" ”
She does have a lot of vegetable seeds, but she barely grows any other vegetables in the space other than peppers.
Fang Yu hugged her slender waist: "Plant it and we will eat it!" ”
"That's also the time to go to Jinghe, we're on the way. When the vegetables grow, we will also go back to Anxian County. There is no need to plant. ”
Fang Yu leaned close to her ear and whispered, "The vegetables grown in the space have an aura, which is different from the vegetables outside. Regular eating is good for the body. ”
Chen Xiao stopped and asked, "How big is the difference?" ”
Fang Yu said: "There is no difference between one or two meals, but if you eat for a year or two, you can clearly feel the difference." ”
"What kind of difference is it?"
"For example, you'll find yourself more hydrated."
"I'm already very smart."
"Hehe, yes, yes."
The two chatted and went shopping.
Dexian County is worthy of being the seat of the state capital, with seven horizontal and five vertical streets, and many alleys in between, and the county seat is much larger than that of Anxian County.
They walked to the center of the county, where the state government was located. Next to the state office is the "examination shed" for students to participate in the township examination.
When it comes to the "examination shed", it is actually a courtyard, and there is a plaque of "Texas Academic and Political Examination Shed" hanging on the door. At this time, the gate is closed, and the door is guarded.
The gatekeeper had a serious face, and Chen Xiao did not approach.
She said: "Wenxiu's husband Shen Feng also participated in this year's township examination, and I don't know how well he did in the exam. ”
Anxian County belongs to Puzhou, and the seat of the state capital is in Pusheng County.
Fang Yudao: "How he did in the exam has nothing to do with us." ”
Chen Xiao smiled: "To be honest, I thought that her husband might have a future and was interested in making friends. However, Wenxiu himself is also a good person. ”
Intended to make friends, referring to Wenxiu's desire to open a snack restaurant, Chen Xiao not only taught Wenxiu to make rice noodles, but also asked Fang Yu to make a rice noodles machine for them.
This incident was before the "Singing Ha Festival". Before this, Chen Xiao still wanted to make friends, but after the hot face was pasted on the cold buttocks, she felt that it was unnecessary. This is a feudal society, and people's hierarchical concept is very strong, of course, in fact, the hierarchical concept of modern society is also very strong, but in modern society, she belongs to the middle and upper class, and she has not suffered many white eyes.
Fang Yu didn't answer. He knew what Chen Xiao's purpose was at the beginning. At that time, Chen Xiao didn't know anything about him.
"If you go to the imperial examination, can you pass it?" Chen Xiao asked.
"I can't pass the test." Fang Yu did not hesitate at all, and answered bluntly.
Chen Xiao sighed twice, looking disdainful.
"What's that look on your face?" Fang Yu felt despised for himself.
"Nothing."
"If you have to take the test, I can take it too."
This is actually very simple for Fang Yu. He only needs to devour the soul of a scholar and chew on the memory, and he can obtain what is in the other person's mind.
"Just blow it!"
Chen Xiao knew that Fang Yu was originally an alchemist, and the soul piercing replaced Xiao Fangyu, and Xiao Fangyu was a military general. However, as the son of King Talu, why do you need to take the imperial examination.
"Then after returning to Anxian County, I will take the test first. Then the examination of people, Jinshi ......"
"No, you'd better figure out how to make glass. It's more important for us to make money. ”
Chen Xiao just saw the "examination shed" and remembered that he had studied for more than ten years and was once admitted to a double first-class university.
Fang Yu smiled: "If you want money, I will make money for you; If you want to be the champion lady, I'll go and give you a top score. ”
Chen Xiao pursed her lips, she didn't take it seriously.
These words are just small talk. The two chatted and walked back to the inn.
At this time, it was time for dinner, and in the dining hall of the inn, two tables of scholar-like men were chatting, as if waiting for the food to be served.
Chen Xiao wanted to eat casually in the canteen and save the space to cook. At this time, a man in a long robe walked over, arched his hand to Fang Yu, and said, "Dare to ask Childe, but the students of this year's township examination?" ”
"It's not."
Fang Yu was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, and although he didn't look like a showman who participated in the township examination, he had an elegant temperament and looked like a scholar.
The man in the robe smiled politely and walked back.
Chen Xiao and Fang Yu found a table and sat down, asking the guy to order.
Waiting for the food to be served, the two heard the chatting of people at several tables next to them, and heard that they were all talents who participated in the township test this year. However, if I listened carefully, I found that they were talking about whether they were married or not.
What is this talking about? Chen Xiao gave Fang Yu a puzzled look.
Fang Yu glanced at the table next to him out of the corner of his eye, and gave Chen Xiao a look: It doesn't matter what they talk about.
The two tables next to it came first, and the guy served them first. I only heard a man at the table say:
"All the sons have come from afar, so I will give you a cup first."
Then he said:
"We should have invited you earlier, but we were busy with affairs, so we only arranged time today, and I would like to ask you to do a lot of things."
"Where, Mr. Kong is polite."
Watching them push the cups and change the lamps, Chen Xiao heard it: This is a family surnamed Kong in the state capital, and the young talents who participated in the township test were feasted. This family surnamed Kong seems to have a academy.
Is this here to recruit students?
