Chapter 12 Baishui County, Zhu Yingtai

The mother of the child is worried, so it is so.

Liu's mother was still a little worried, and wanted to follow, but was stopped by Liu's father: "Mother's way? Do you want my son to be laughed at? What is this? He will be an adult next year, and you don't need to be nosy." ”

"I'm worried, what do you mean by being nosy? You old fellow, you really don't like what you say!" Liu Mu immediately retorted: "Are you not worried at all? This is the first time Ping'er has gone far away." ”

"Of course I'm worried, but it's something he has to go through, thinking I ...... back then."

Father Liu just wanted to talk at length, but was interrupted by Mother Liu: "You guys should set off quickly, pay attention to take care of yourself." ”

The quarrel between the two elders made Liu Yue laugh out loud, and then said, "Don't worry, Dad, mother, I will take care of my brother." ”

Liu Ping touched his nose: "I will take care of my own ......"

"Let's go!" Liu Yue pushed Liu Pingdao.

The two came to the county seat in an ox cart, Liu Yue smiled and said, "Brother, should we hire an ox cart to go to Shanghe County, or go on horseback?"

Liu Ping looked at Liu Yue's bouncing joyful appearance, and couldn't help but be a little funny: "Are you so happy when you go out?"

"Of course, I'm happy, it is said that the county town of Shanghe County is very, very prosperous. I've wanted to go there for a long time, but I never had the chance. Liu Yue's eyes shone brightly, and she said with a grin.

Liu Ping was speechless: "We're not here to play. ”

"Of course I do. Liu Yue ran over with a smile, grabbed Liu Ping's wrist, and pulled him forward: "After my brother passes the exam, he will naturally be able to have fun, isn't it? Hurry up, how do you say we are going?"

"When the journey is tiring, you won't be so excited, but complain. Liu Ping touched Liu Yue's head, a doting look flashed in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Let's go with the Wang family's car, I made an appointment with Wang Hong, went to the exam together, and made their carriage, although it is not as safe as the ox cart, but it is much faster than the ox cart." ”

Liu Yue said: "But is it okay to trouble people like this?"

I felt a little helpless in my heart, I thought it was a two-person space with my brother, but I didn't expect to be someone else's car, and hurriedly said: "Let's not disturb others, hire an ox cart to go over." ”

This shijie has a cow specially used to pull a cart, although the speed is not as fast as a fast horse, but it is not slow, and the endurance and stability are not comparable to the carriage. So even if it is a small rich family, it is also an ox cart.

"It's fine. If I don't go, he'll blame me. Liu Ping said: "Let's go, he is waving to me in front." ”

"Okay. Liu Yue stuck out her tongue.

"It's finally here, I thought you weren't coming. Wang Hong said with a smile in front, and when Liu Ping got closer, he looked at Liu Yue and asked, "This is Sister Ling?" ”

"Yes. Liu Ping also noticed that the girl next to Wang Hong was directing his subordinates for him and lighting the carriage.

Wang Hong said: "That's my cousin, although she looks pretty good, but she's too clingy to me." ”

"It's not good to stick to you?" The girl walked over and said to Liu Pingzuo: "I've seen Liu Gongzi, I've seen Liu Girl." ”

"Alright, alright, the carriage is ready, and we are leaving. Wang Hong waved his hand and said.

"I want to follow you too. The girl begged.

"No, I can't. Wang Hong shook his head.

The girl said: "Weishenme can't do it? Obviously, Liu Gongzi's sister can go with him, but I can't Weishenme?"

Wang Hong said: "If you can't say it, you can't do it." ”

The girl snorted and said, "Do you want to visit Fireworks Willow Lane in Shanghe County? ”

"It's useless to stir up - Brother Liu, let's go. Wang Hong shook his head and said to Liu Ping again.

"Hmm. The two of them got into the carriage, which was very large, with six horses drawn by horses, like a moving room.

Walking inside and putting down the baggage, Liu Yue looked around, and couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, it was like a house, and couldn't help but whisper: "It's so big." ”

Liu Ping was a little crying and laughing, the appearance of this carriage is really full of nouveau riche taste, can't this Wang family have some self-cultivation, and said: "Big is big, but if you prepare such a big carriage, the speed of the carriage will slow down." ”

"It's okay, as long as you can enjoy it. Wang Hong waved his hand: "Uncle Yu, you can go." ”

"Yes, young master. "The coachman is a middle-aged man, with kind eyebrows, but faintly extraordinary, he should have martial arts, not just the coachman, Liu Ping saw this, but he didn't say it.

The car drove into the evening, and most of the journey had passed, and although he could sleep in the car, he did not rush overnight, because it was too dangerous, so he stayed in an inn in a county town.

Although I was in the car all the time, I still felt a little tired, so I fell asleep immediately, got up early the next day, and set off.

So at noon on the second day, I finally arrived at the county seat, and chose a Shanghaode inn to live, just because of the triennial autumn, the room was a little scarce, although it cost a lot of money, but still only got two upper rooms. However, there is a bedroom in one upper room and a study bedroom, which is enough.

One upper room is very large, and the inside is antique, which makes Liu Ping very satisfied, and the taste of this room is the same as the presidential suite in the previous life. Naturally, the price is not cheap - ten taels of silver a day.

Liu Ping brought a towel, put it in a basin of hot water from Xiao Erduan, washed his face, looked at Liu Yue, who was preparing a change of clothes for himself, and said: "It will take three days for me to take the exam, these three days, one of your daughters' family, don't run around in the county town." If you really want to play, I'll take you to play when I get the test. ”

Liu Yue said: "I know, I naturally know this, I'm sorry if I can't help you, where can I hold you back?"

"It's good if you know......"

"Brother Liu, let's go and register quickly. Wang Hong had already placed his luggage properly, knocked on the door, and said.

"Good. I'll be out right away. ”

After washing his face and telling his sister uneasily, Liu Pingcai followed Wang Hong to the yamen where the exam was registered.

Thinking back to what her brother had just told her, Liu Yue unconsciously covered her mouth and laughed: "I used to tell you to be a nerd, but I didn't expect that there would be a kind of advice to me now......"

Along the way, Liu Ping and Wang Hong were a little silent, after all, it was the first time to participate in the Autumn Festival. Soon came to the Yamen.

There are two huge stone lions at the door, which are very vivid, as if they can pounce out at any time, and there are three long dragons at the side door, all of which are children who come here to queue up to register.

Liu Ping couldn't help but be a little speechless: "There are so many people." ”

"Yes, even I don't have the ability to get the sign directly...... Wang Hong sighed, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "I don't know if you can go through the back door and get the sign directly?"

"Where do I have this ability?" Liu glanced at Wang Hong.

"You're the prefect's protΓ©gΓ©. Wang Hong said as a matter of course: "Why is there no way out of this?"

"It's just a protΓ©gΓ©, you think I'm the prefect?" Liu Ping said speechlessly.

This kind of dialogue made the children next to him look sideways, the prefect, the protΓ©gΓ©, this person is the Liu Ping who made the "Mountain Walk"?

Immediately, a few children came to visit and make friends.

A man in his early twenties walked over and said respectfully: "It's Chen Cangzhi of Jixian County, may I ask if Your Excellency is the young genius Liu Ping who made "Mountain Walking"?"

"It's down there. Liu Ping didn't hold it up, and replied: "How dare you be a genius? Insignificant. ”

"The article is made by nature, and it is a clever hand. Chen Cangzhi read it silently and exclaimed: "Originally, I didn't believe it, I thought it was just an exaggeration, how could I think you really have such a great talent! This is not an exaggeration, you don't have to be modest!"

This conversation then caused several children to come to visit, Liu Ping coped with it for a while, and then said: "I went down to line up to get the exam card, the journey was tiring, and I want to rest early, you will talk about it later." ”

It was not easy to get rid of it, which made Wang Hong next to him sarcastic: "Tsk, Liu Da Wizard really deserves his reputation, and now I have completely become a green leaf." ”

"Green leaves, you're just cultivating soil at most. Liu Ping fought back mercilessly.

After half an hour, it was finally his turn.

"The name, household registration report, children's seal, recommendation letters, etc., were brought one by one. The civil servant didn't look up, but said quickly.

"Liu Ping, Qinshui County, Shanghe County. The children's seals and other things are here. Liu Ping handed over the small package in his hand.

"Liu Ping, are you Liu Ping?" the civil official was startled, raised his head, his eyes lit up, and said, "Sure enough, he is a real talent." ”

Then he looked at the children's seal and other things, and handed over a bronze medal: "This is the exam card, you can use this to enter the examination room, don't lose it." ”

"Master Xie. Liu thanked him, took the exam card, and stepped aside.

After waiting for a while, Wang Hong got the test card, and the two prepared to leave.

At this moment, Liu Ping heard something strange.

"The name, the household registration report, the child's birth seal, etc., were brought one by one. "This is the voice of the civil officer.

Then there was a somewhat neutral voice that was very crisp: "Shanghe County, Baishui County, Zhu Yingtai." This is a child's seal and so on. ”

"Zhu Yingtai?" Liu said in a low voice with a strange face.

"What's wrong?" Wang Hong asked a little strangely.

Liu Ping glanced at it a few more times, but unfortunately he didn't see the man's face, shook his head and said, "It's impossible...... It's nothing, let's go, I thought it was an acquaintance, but it turned out to be not. ”

"Well, let's go, let's go back to the inn. Wang Hong didn't take it to heart.
