For the first time, Xie Zhiyan knew that this body was actually motion sick, and he was dizzy all day long, it didn't look like he was on a carriage, like he was sailing in the sea!

This can be a pity for a while, for fear of delaying the exam, in addition to taking care of it every day, it is a good comfort.

Lin Zhaotang was a little hot-eyed, he had seen all kinds of women, and he regretted that his sister was not so simple and beautiful, but he didn't have any other thoughts, just connected with himself, and felt a little sad in his heart.

Arriving at the provincial capital and stepping on the ground, Xie Zhiyan quickly recovered his spirits, but he lost weight.

The fat raised a while ago was returned again, and Xie Zhiyan, who watched it, was distressed.

The three of them found a restaurant to eat and rest, and Uncle Wang was responsible for finding an intermediary to rent a house, and it turned out that as long as the money was in place, everything could be done smoothly.

It is a small courtyard not far from the examination room, not on the main road, quiet and quiet, a tall ginkgo tree in the yard, two houses in front and back, just enough to live and reserve their own space.

Lin Zhaotang and Xie Zhiyan immediately made a decision, this is it.

settled down in one day, and volunteered to follow Uncle Wang out to buy, these things will have to be done by her in the future, buy vegetables or something, the road must be cooked.

It stands to reason that in ancient times, men and women were paid attention to, but the restrictions on women in the Great Xia Dynasty were not very serious at the moment, and the village should be meaner.

Because the women in the village have no private property, many of them have no dowry, and they marry with two clothes and a quilt, so they can't talk about the right to speak at all.

However, in the city, it is different, there are many widows who have private property remarry, and men and women can be seen traveling together on the streets, and the world is not very strict.

Even in ancient times in reality, it was actually the same, until the Song Dynasty Cheng Zhu Lixue appeared and gained the upper hand, the spiritual restraint on women gradually reached the extreme, and there were many perverted things that were full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and wanted women to be touched by men to commit suicide to prove their innocence for the sake of fame.

The most ironic thing is that the person who put forward this argument does not demand this moral standard from his own family, which shows that the so-called secular norms, you can bind you if you care, you don't care that no one can help you, as long as you don't do things that hurt nature and reason.

Therefore, it is normal for Gu Xixi to accompany Xie Zhiyan to take the exam, and to be responsible for the food and clothing of several people.

However, in terms of rent and daily use, Xie Zhiyan is AA with Lin Zhaotang, which is not sloppy, and it is okay to take the carriage along the way, but if you really rent a house to learn to live, you have to settle the account.

It is worthy of being a provincial city, in addition to cooking and cleaning and doing housework, he followed Uncle Wang out to see the world, and the whole person was glowing with a different look.

It turns out that this world is really like what Xie Zhiyan said, what kind of people and all kinds of things.

The streets were filled with a free and lively air, with the hawkers shouting from the shops, the people dressed in coarse linen clothes or silk satin, and no one cared where you came from, because there were different dialect accents everywhere.

There are also vegetables and fruits that she has never seen before, the prices are not expensive, and the materials are abundant, which makes Gu Xi feel a challenge.

During this time, she used 100% of her skills, and the three men in the family fed her belly round, and even the horse in the backyard was fat and strong.

On this day, after dinner, Xie Zhiyan and Lin Zhaotang drank tea under the ginkgo tree in the yard as usual.

"I said, if I continue to eat like this, my image of a handsome boy will not be guaranteed. Lin Zhaotang stood up and walked slowly, sat down and panicked, holding his stomach against his stomach.

No way, there are new dishes every day, whether it's boiled fish or stir-fried meat, or even sour and hot belly soup, who can stand it.

Today is even more excessive, I made a mountain and sea pocket, that is, shrimp and fish shoot fern pocket, just listen to the ingredients!

There are a lot of these fresh things in the provincial capital, and I know that it is good for my health, so I often buy them and make them for two brain-screwed readers, and this time it is exactly what she inquired about.

First, blanch the freshest bamboo shoots and bracken with water, then wash the fish and shrimp and cut off the high heat and steam, and finally mix the steamed fish and shrimp with bamboo shoots and fern, put mung bean flour skin, and then add salt, pepper, sesame oil, and tempeh paste.

The taste was simple, fragrant and delicious and not greasy, she made a big pot of raw and was eaten up!

At this time, hearing Lin Zhaotang's sweet troubles, Xie Zhiyan said.

"It's okay, store more fat now, so you can hold it up during the exam. ”

"It's also oh, those thin hemp sticks, they can't get seriously ill when they get out of the examination room, and some of them can't withstand the torture of those days and nights directly in the examination room, and they pass out directly. Makes sense, I've eaten a bit more fresh lately, and tomorrow-"

Just when Xie Zhiyan thought that Lin Zhaotang was going to reflect on it tomorrow and control the amount of food, he only heard him groan and said.

"——I want to eat chicken tomorrow, there is a cloud in Taibai's poem, 'the hall is very green wine, and the plate is full of golden chicken', this golden chicken refers to the whole chicken is marinated and cooked into a golden color, and directly cut into pieces to eat. It's not greasy and tasteful, it's best to use it for wine, my younger siblings must be good at it, so I told Uncle Wang to take my younger siblings to buy chicken tomorrow. ”

After Lin Zhaotang finished speaking, his saliva was about to flow down, as if he had forgotten that his stomach was already very full, and he went to confess excitedly.

Xie Zhiyan raised his head speechlessly, looked at the moon that had just risen in the sky, and couldn't help but shake his head.

Lin Zhaotang is a complete foodie, at first glance, he thought it was a batch of things that he didn't stingy with and couldn't look down on, but he didn't expect it to be cooked...... What kind of goods are they......

Xie Zhiyan drank tea and got up to go back to the room.

Lin Zhaotang and Uncle Wang live in the front yard, and he and Gu Xixi live in the backyard, with a yard in between, which is convenient for each other.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Gu Xixi turn around with a panicked face, and at that moment he seemed to see the tears on her face.

He lit the gas lamp and stepped forward.

"It's a pity. He called softly, "What's wrong, what's uncomfortable?"

Gu Xixi still didn't speak, twisted his body and was silent.

Xie Zhiyan sighed, "It seems that it has been so long, but I still treat me as an outsider, and I don't want to tell me anything, which makes me anxious but I don't know what to do." ”

His hand rested on her shoulder, his thin shoulder trembling slightly.

"Uh......h Third brother, I, I may really be as unblessed as my mother said, and I can't accompany you. ”

Gu Xixi's incoherent words were simply grief-stricken.

"How do you say this, how can you not be blessed, you are the most blessed, without you I would have died a long time ago. When Xie Zhiyan heard this, he hurriedly turned the person over to face him, his eyes were full of sadness and pain, and it was obvious that something very bad had happened without his knowledge.

He hurriedly spoke to calm her heart, but he didn't expect her to cry and sob.
