The koi wife dressed as the male protagonist of the imperial examination

Chapter 200 Being able to support myself
Around the middle of June, old man Li brought other people from old Li's family to the capital.

This day is not a holiday, and Li Xiuping is not free, so Li Erlang went to pick him up.

At any rate, he also lived in the capital for more than a month, so he finally knew the way to go out, not to mention.

Especially the avenues in and out of the capital, which have been visited many times.

Every time he came back from exploring the road, Li Erlang would lament to his wife: "The capital city is really big, and the city wall can't be seen from the end. It is not comparable to Anshun County."

Is not this nonsensical?

Regarding this, Li Ersao didn't bother to pay attention to it at all, and thought more about:
The capital is so good, if you stay for a long time, if you can become a talent in the capital in the future, it will be a real beauty.

One day she can go back to her hometown to visit relatives, and she can go back to her mother's house to brag about it.

But she couldn't tell if her mother-in-law brought them to the capital just to see Saburo become an official, or was she planning to stay for a long time?
Also, Second Sister-in-law Li understands the nature of her parents-in-law, if she simply stays in the capital and relies on the third child to support the family, the second elder will definitely not agree.

If she wanted to stay in the capital for a long time, she and Erlang had to find work to support themselves.

Also, kids.

As a result, Second Sister-in-law Li looked forward to her eldest brother and sister-in-law coming to Beijing soon, and if she could open a shop in the capital, the family would have a place to live.

Li Xiuping had received a letter from his hometown a long time ago, guessing that the old man was coming soon, so he asked his second brother to make a few more trips to the gate of the city.

So when old man Li and Li Dalang arrived in the capital, the first thing they saw was Li Erlang who came to pick them up.

This time, the whole Li family was mobilized. Old man Li brought Li Dalang, his wife and Li Xiaomei to Beijing together.

I rented two carriages and a mule cart to pull goods, and brought a lot of things from my hometown.

In addition to the harvest in the field, harvest the dried and threshed grains and wheat grains, as well as specially accumulated eggs.

Then there are all kinds of dry goods, pickled vegetables, cured fish, bacon, bacon, etc. Not to mention the mule cart is full, there are also a lot of people's carts.

Along the way, Li Dalang, the old man, was okay, but Li Xiaomei, Li's sister-in-law, was very disgusted. When he arrived in the capital, he was going to defect to Saburo, who was now an official.

How hard to think about coming to him with pickles?
The main thing is, after all, Li Xiaomei is a young lady of a certain age, and everyone has a love for beauty.

Sitting in the carriage along the way and smelling the smell of salted fish and salted duck eggs, it feels like my body is going to stink.

Seeing that she was about to enter Beijing, Li Xiaomei asked with a mournful face, "Sister-in-law, do I smell like salted fish?"

Sister-in-law Li was okay, the excitement of seeing a few children soon replaced these.

"Mother said that things in the capital are more expensive than ours in Anshun, so you don't need to spend money to buy them if you bring them yourself."

After arriving at the residence where he lived, Li Dalang had no time to wash up and rest, so Li Dalang first went to Shi's to report the family affairs in detail.

This trip to Beijing, they have made preparations for a long-term struggle, so things in their hometown have to be taken care of.

For example, the fields are okay. Anyway, there are still clansmen in the village, and the third patriarch will help them arrange the fields.

Before they set off, Sister Li and his wife, Geng Dazhuang, arrived in the city, and Sister Li taught her the skills very seriously.

Anyway, the shop is mainly pasta, and there are only a few kinds of food in total. If you have more experience and experience, the taste will not be too bad.

Originally, their Li's noodle restaurant was mainly based on regular customers, and it has been open in the county. It's okay to earn some small money without seeking wealth.

For Geng Dazhuang, his wife's family gave him great help, and he even asked his eldest son and daughter to help out in the shop.

There are four people, and they can almost keep busy inside and out.

They are all from their own family, especially the elder sister and his wife, who are honest and responsible.

Just like what mother said, as long as the shop is still in the hands of the old Li family, there is no fear of the elders of the Geng family doing bad things.

Shi Shi was also satisfied after hearing this, mainly because they are not considered wealthy yet, and they don't have extra money to supplement their married daughters.

And you can't just rely on other people's subsidies. Sister Li knows that making a living is the real long-term way.

After explaining everything clearly inside and out, it took almost an hour.

Shi Shi asked them to wash and rest, and someone else would arrange and store these things.

"After driving for so many days, you must be exhausted. Go and have a good sleep."

Really, old man Li is of course reluctant to go to the inn without the money, and even sleeps in the carriage at night.

After so many days, it's not just that my waist is sore and my arms are sore.

Not to mention the exhausted old man Li, even Li Dalang and Mrs. Li, who was always diligent in the past, did not refuse this time.

Old man Li naturally lived with Shi Shi, and the room of Li Dalang and his wife, Da Mao Si Mao and Niu Niu, had already been cleaned up for their parents in advance.

So a few people went back to the house and fell asleep on the |bed|. They slept until it was dark, and when they woke up, they were still in a daze, feeling like they didn't know where they were in a dream.

Seeing that they all woke up, Shi Shi asked the second daughter-in-law to heat up the food again, so they can eat right away.

After dinner, old man Li presided over the family's first official family meeting in the capital;
Uh, except Li Saburo.

Before it was time to rest and take a bath, Li Xiuping was still living bitterly in the official residence alone.

Seeing that everyone is almost gathered together, Li old man Shi is very happy.

Shi Shi first announced a big event, which was about the marriage of the third child.

Another thing is, Li Xiaomei's marriage.

But that will probably have to wait until the two elders return to their hometown next year. Originally, old man Li didn't want to take Li Xiaomei to Beijing with him. Anyway, after she got married, she would belong to someone else's family.

But leaving her alone in the county is not at ease. Liang Xiucai is still studying and the next rural examination will not be until the next year.

Originally, when they got engaged, the two families discussed that they would get married next winter, but according to the current situation, old Li Shi should still be in the capital in winter.

It is very possible that this year they will celebrate the New Year in the capital, so they can't travel so far to stay for two months and then go back, right?

In addition, Liang Junjie studied hard this year, and was stimulated by the fact that Li Xiuping was in high school, so he decided that he should work harder.

Just think, it's okay to get married later.

And this is also Li Xiaomei's own thinking. After she learned to read with the third sister-in-law, she has grown a lot.

The third sister-in-law told her that even if they can't go to the examiner for reading and writing as little ladies, they still have to study hard.

Reading can make sense and make oneself happy, so as long as conditions permit, Li Xiaomei is working hard to learn to read.

Counting it, among the few children studying in Lao Li's family, Li Xiaomei may be the best and the most outstanding.

The more books you read, the more you understand the truth.

Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Li Xiaomei also knows that a person's vision determines his self-cultivation and his cognition can even change his life.

Given this opportunity, she also wanted to go to the capital to have a look, so she resolutely followed her father and the others to the capital.
