The group swayed all the way back to Fucheng, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu went to visit Mingzhifu and Xing Xuezheng, stayed in Fucheng for a day, Xu Ying stayed, and when they set off again, only Meng Yue and the Zhuang family set off.

Back in Pingcheng, Meng Yue wanted to go home first, and Li Qiao and Tao Zhu were going to visit Jiangzhi County.

Jiang Zhixian was very happy, just like Xing Xuezheng of the Ming Governor's Mansion, and told Li Qian all his experience in participating in the general examination and the palace examination that year.

and also said that he had found a caravan for Li Qiao.

"A few days ago, Zhuang Fengshou came to look for me, saying that he wanted to organize the young people in the village to enter Beijing with your husband and wife, so as to protect your safety."

"I thought it was a bit of fanfare, so I said no. However, there are three caravans to be selected here, you pick them, I have specially inquired, and they are all reliable. ”

Jiang Zhixian said, picked up a piece of rice paper from the desk and handed it to Li Qiao.

Li Qiao hurriedly got up and took it and thanked him respectfully.

Jiang Zhixian helped him a lot.

Coming out of the county office, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu not only saw Zhuang Fengshou, but also met countless people who congratulated him.

With his middle move, the people in the county paid more attention to him.

He responded with a smile, and by the time he and Tao Zhu drove the ox cart out of the city gate, his face was already smiling.

Raising his hand and rubbing his face, his originally straight body immediately leaned on Tao Zhu.

"Thirsty, aren't you? Drink saliva. ”

Tao Zhu said and turned into the carriage to bring him a bamboo tube filled with water.

"It's fine." The words were so, but Li Qiao still reached out and took the bamboo tube, which was cool and sweet with sucrose.

When people said hello to him, Tao Zhu didn't leave Tao Zhu behind, so Tao Zhu also said a lot just now.

"You drink too." After taking a sip, he raised the bamboo tube to Tao Zhu's mouth.

Tao Zhu took a few sips of his hand, and then stopped drinking, he drank the remaining sugar water in one go, and leaned on Tao Zhu again.

He took out the paper given to him by Jiang Zhixian from his arms, on which were written the details of the three caravans.

As for Zhuang Fengshou's proposal, it is indeed an exaggeration.

He and Tao Zhu went to the capital, in fact, the future was uncertain, the saint did not let Lord Zhao take care of him, the saint watched coldly, and the capital is a place where a fallen tree can hit three officials.

Therefore, you can't bring your fellow villagers to the capital.

As for the family, try to bring as little as possible.

When he and Tao Zhu have established themselves in the capital, it will not be too late to take the family over.

As for the villagers, if he can pull a handful, he will pull it.

Of the three caravans that Jiang Zhixian picked for him, the first two were big businessmen with deep roots, and Jiang Zhixian knew these two when he was an official in the capital.

The third caravan is not large, but the leader Han Ning is a showman.

He raised his eyebrows and read the information of the three caravans to Tao Zhu one by one.

Tao Zhu couldn't determine which caravan was suitable for them from this information, so he said, "We'll meet one by one in a few days, and then settle down." ”

"That's what I intended." Li Qiao said as she folded the paper and put it in her arms.

At this time, Zhuang Fengshou drove the ox cart to follow, and the adobe brick road was wide enough for two ox carts to travel side by side.

"Li Qiao, don't you really bring the young people from our village? There are too few people, not enough for you and Brother Zhu. ”

He didn't give up, he still wanted Li Qiao to bring more people.

Li Qiao smiled when she heard this, she really didn't need it.

However, in order to avoid Zhuang Fengshou and the people in the village from being uncomfortable, he still found a suitable time to tell Zhuang Fengshou the reason.

By the way, it cooled down the feverish brains of Zhuang Fengshou and the people in the village.

The saint only said that he would ensure that he would be rich for a lifetime, but he did not say that he would be rich for a lifetime.

Wealth and wealth, the difference between one word, that is the distance between heaven and earth.

He didn't want to be a stable rich man, so he had to take the imperial examination, and on this road, except for the little essay about vermicelli, the saint didn't treat him well.

The candidates in Hexi Mansion, including the entire Yuanhe Province, are at the bottom, and they feel that he is very famous in front of the saint, but if he is compared with those students of Guozijian, what is he worth?

The people of Hexi Mansion thought that he wanted to fly, but this flight was only for the people of Hexi Mansion.

Everyone thought that he would go all the way to the temple to try to stand in front of the saint, and then what?

What about him after he stood before the saint?

Therefore, it is not wrong to say that the future is uncertain, before the capital is not stable, he and Tao Zhu can't bring more relatives and villagers.

When I returned to Sanliu Village, not only the villagers of Sanliu Village were there, but also many people in Zhujia Village and the surrounding villages.

This is a great event.

And not only Li Qiao was lifted, Zhuang Wen was also lifted, and two people were lifted in one village, which is a rare scene for decades.

Yes, everyone not only wants to congratulate Li Qiao, but also wants to congratulate Zhuang Wen, lifting people, master, amazing!

Li Qiao thanked the villagers, and then went home surrounded by Li Gu, Li Liang, Li Shu and others.

It was already dark at this time, so Li Gu and the others didn't stay long, but let their husbands eat first, eat and rest, and wait for tomorrow to talk about everything.

After several days of hurrying, Li Qiao was fine, but Tao Zhu was indeed a little tired, so the husband and wife went back to the backyard to rest after dinner.

Finally returned to the familiar home, I haven't lived in it for a long time, and I have to clean it.

The two people brought water in a wooden basin, and the two people took cloth towels to wipe the beds, tables, chairs, cabinets and other furniture.

"I can't bear to be here." Tao Zhu wiped his small desk, the more he wiped, the slower his movements became, and his tone was full of loss.

Such a good house still holds countless good memories for them, and I don't know if there will be a chance to live in it again in the future......

"As long as the two of us are together, it's home everywhere."

Li Qiao immediately said.

Hearing this, Tao Zhu first sighed, and then hummed softly and sped up the movements in his hand.

This person is bound to leave Sanliu Village, and the small Sanliu Village can't hold this person's ambitions, but as long as he is with this person, everything else is not important.

After wiping the furniture, the two of them washed, and when they returned to bed, it was not too late.

"Brother Zhu, are you tired?" Li Qiao lay on her side, supporting her head with one hand and touching her half-dried hair with the other.

Tao Zhu was putting a dry cotton towel on the pillow, so as not to wet the pillow with his half-wet hair, and when he heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Li Qiao: "Huh? ”

"I think you've had something on your mind these days." Although he used the word "feeling", Li Qiao's tone was extremely affirmative.

He could see it from the day he lifted it, but Tao Zhu was very happy, and his mood was really good, plus when he was in the capital, he was socializing from morning to night, and the road back was bumpy all the way, so he didn't ask until now.

Tao Zhu had already put away the dry cloth towel, and while he was lying down, he said, "It's not a matter of mind. ”

"What's that?" Li Qiao saw that he was also lying on his side, in the same posture as himself, so he reached out and grabbed his hand.

"It's a little thing."

said it was a trivial matter, but Tao Zhu lowered his eyes and didn't look at Li Qiao's eyes: "If you meet a big occasion in the future, you don't have to take me with you, I know your heart for me, I'm not uncomfortable." ”

"I'm just a little sorry that I can't see you all the time, I can't witness every moment of you, but this is what I have to go through."

"You will be an official in the future, you will work in the yamen, you will do great things, you must not stay with me all the time like making dim sum."

"I've thought about it for a long time, so I don't think it's a big deal, so I won't tell you for the time being."

It's this person who is too good, so his greed is getting stronger and stronger, in fact, if you think about it carefully, how can a man be as inseparable from his husband/daughter-in-law as he is.

This man carries him everywhere, which is not normal.

In the future, this man will be an official, and he must not make a wrong step, and he will not be able to hand pigtails to this person's enemies.

Li Qiao: "......"

He leaned close to Tao Zhu's face, his head next to the bed, and looked up at Tao Zhu's hanging eyes.

Tao Zhu: "......"

He reached out and pushed Li Qiao, pushing Li Qiao down on the bed, and then he lay on Li Qiao's body as he had done countless times before.

With his face buried in Li Qiao's warm neck, he said sullenly: "I didn't cry, I haven't cried yet, I've already adjusted." During the days of your exams, I spent all day and night thinking about it. ”

"Originally, I naively thought that when you finish the imperial examination, you will be able to be the same as before, but it is impossible, and you will never go back."

"In the past, you made snacks in the shed, I made snacks in the kitchen, and you came to the kitchen every once in a while to kiss me, it's hard to have a scene again."

Li Qiao: "......"

His heart was sullen.

Yes, that kind of situation, it's really rare.

From the moment he chose the Mangke Imperial Examination, he and Tao Zhu were destined to no longer be tired of being together all the time.

"Actually, this is normal, this is the way many husbands and wives in the world get along, if my unhappiness spreads, then others will definitely scold me for being hypocritical."

Tao Zhu sighed again.

It's not life and death, it's not a different place, it's just a going to the yamen to work, and the other stays at home, but he has a strong sense of reluctance, sadness and other emotions, if this spreads, others will definitely think that he is sick.

But he really likes Li Qiao, he likes it so much.

From the moment Li Qiao apologized to him, his heart was on Li Qiao, and he married Li Qiao, Li Qiao pulled him out of the quagmire of the Tao family and gave him a new life.

He didn't know how to get along with his man, all he could think of was the kind of relationship with other husbands and wives in the village.

But Li Qiao let him know that the two of them can stick together all the time, and they can kiss in broad daylight without shame.

From the moment he was born, he lived this inseparable mode of kissing countless times during the day and countless times at night, and this sweetness has been integrated into his flesh and blood.

So, when he realized that he couldn't go back in the future, he was really sad.

He felt that the matter was incomparably bigger.

But at that time, Li Qiao was taking the exam, he could only self-regulate, and after such a long buffer, he really wouldn't cry at this time.

But I still felt a little uncomfortable.

"How can you be hypocritical, like someone, of course, you want to be with him all the time, if others don't understand, it's because they don't have such sweet feelings." Li Qiao said and pulled her hands out from under Tao Zhu's body.
