Chapter 419 Night Temple Fair
On the way back to Huangliang from Huazhou, there was snowflakes, but Fourteen and Zuo Qiuyue had a horse race.

The two of them ran away without saying hello, and Tong Yang and Qi Xian immediately sped up to catch up.

"Do you want to chase?" Xiao Wu put on a posture and asked several other people.

Lin Jiu, who was driving the carriage, said, "You ride horses, and I drive the carriage. How can I chase after you?"

Zheng Biao: "Can our horse catch up with the prince and princess?"

Wang Kui: "Forget it, if we want to follow, we won't know how to say hello and run away."

"Let's go at a normal speed, we will definitely be home before dark." Kang Simu said.

"Brother Kang, we are not in a hurry, why are you in no hurry?" Xiao Wu joked when he heard the words, "My daughter-in-law can wait for you to go back and get married at home."

"Yeah, Brother Xian and Brother Tong have both caught up, why didn't you catch up?" Lin Jiu asked, "And they don't have a wife either!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Both of them were born in darts with the princess, and I can't compete with them in riding." Kang Simu shook his head with a smile, "It's better not to join in the fun."

This statement was unanimously agreed by everyone. Although they all came from Fourteen Hands, compared to riding skills, they are really not at the same level as Tong Yang and Qi Xian.

"Are Brother Xian and Brother Tong the first to follow the princess?" Xiao Wu asked, "When I arrived, they and Sister Yinzhu were already there."

"The two of them and Lin San are the earliest." Kang Simu said, "Qi Xian was Wang Hao's apprentice when the young man was two years old. Yinzhu was two years later than them."

"Mr. Xiaolang is 14 years old, and it has been 12 years since he was two years old." Lin Jiu said with emotion, "This year goes by really fast."

……

The red silk at home hadn't had time to be removed. When everyone came back, they found that there were many new faces walking around in the house.

These are twenty servants, twenty maids and three cooks newly bought by Yinzhu.

The wedding of the two couples is scheduled for the sixth day of the new year, which is seven days later.

They can no longer marry from Xiao's house like Zuo Qiuyue married a wife and then come back here to pay homage.

Both Kang Simu and Lin Er have properties in Huangliang. These days, Lin Er has asked someone to clean out a house under their respective names for temporary worship.

On the morning of the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, on the [-]th day, Qi rushed home to accompany his parents, along with Qi Lecheng and Gu Lin.

Mei Zhixue and Song Guo stayed in Xiao's house for the New Year.

Since the [-]th year when she became the head of Huangliang County, Mrs. Qi's opposition to Qi Lecheng's choice has gradually diminished.Until she married Zuo Qiuyue, Mrs. Qi never said a word to let Qi Lecheng go back to study and take the imperial examination.

……

On New Year's Eve, rich households in Huangliang County rushed to set off fireworks around midnight, and the city was full of splendor.However, some people ran out from the county town and parked on both sides of the road from the county town to Xiao's Village, waiting with great anticipation for the spectacle above Xiao's house on New Year's Eve this year.

The people in the county seat only account for a small part, and more people come from the surrounding villages.Whenever this time, the biggest advantage is probably to have a relative in Xiaojia Village.They can mention two pastries as a gift, and the whole family, old and young, will come to relatives' homes to celebrate New Year's Eve, while waiting for this year's wonders.

Instead of standing in the wild and blowing cold wind like other people.

This situation gradually began to form in the second year after the fireworks appeared. At first, there were only villagers in a few nearby villages waiting to watch the fireworks outside Xiao's house.Later, I found out that the fireworks above Xiao's house had never been seen outside, and could only be seen here.

The news spreads from ten to ten, and when the next time the news about Xiao's house going to set off fireworks is released, the number of onlookers and waiting will increase several times.

On New Year's Eve of the third year, some smart hawkers pushed carts and set up stalls selling snacks on the side of the road, earning a month's worth of money in one night.

Half a month later, on the Shangyuan Festival, the small businesses on both sides of this official road have grown into a small scale. In addition to all kinds of snacks, there are cosmetic gestures and all kinds of gadgets.

The cries of small vendors are interspersed in the night, just like a temple fair held at night.

Five-year-old Xiao Yuqiu and Xiao Yushang couldn't stay at home, so they acted coquettishly and finally asked Xiao Qilang and Tian Qiao to take them out to the small temple fair that night.

The family of six drove the carriage out, and Xiao Qilang heard the bustle ahead before he entered the gathering place: "The Fourteen's family puts off a few fireworks every year, but it provides these peddlers with many opportunities to make money."

"There is also this road, which has been trampled a lot over the past few years."

After a while, the carriage entered the crowd, and voices from around came over.

"Did you watch the fireworks on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month? I heard that there were 99 words that read 'Hundred Years of Love'."

"It wasn't New Year's Eve that day, and the gates of the city were closed at that time, so I couldn't come out. It's not as good as those who live in the countryside, they can go wherever they want."

"A relative of mine caught up with the fireworks and said that there were not only the 'Hundred Years of Love', but also the patterns of double dragons playing with pearls and a hundred flowers fighting beauty, not to mention how beautiful they are!"

"Yes, yes, I've also heard that it looks better than any previous year, and it lasted for most of the night. It attracted everyone around us, and those of us who were trapped in the city couldn't get out."

"If you want to say that this young gentleman of the Xiao family is really a genius from heaven!"

"He is indeed a genius, but I don't know why he didn't take the imperial examination. He just tinkered with these things all day long. If he took the imperial examination, he might be better than that young man from the Qi family a few years ago."

"I haven't heard from that person in the past two years. I thought our county could produce a juren in his teens."

"Why is there no news? Didn't take the exam again, or didn't pass the exam again?"

……

"Sister, what is the imperial examination?" Xiao Yuqiu listened carefully, shaking Xiao Yuhe's arm and asked her.

"The imperial examination is an exam." Xiao Yuhe explained, "You have to read books first, and then take the exam after learning the knowledge from the book. Your second brother will take the exam in the next year, and he is taking the imperial exam."

"What's the test for?" Xiao Yushang asked.

"Be an official." Xiao Yuhe said, "And the year before last, His Majesty issued a decree that now women can also take the imperial examination. You two have already begun to enlighten yourself. You have to study hard, and you can also take the imperial examination in the future."

"Yuhe, don't encourage them." Tian Qiao interrupted, "The imperial examination is not as easy as you said."

Although the queen's decree is true, but up to now I haven't heard of any woman and man taking the exam together.

She supports her daughters to be educated and sensible, but she does not want them to be "heterogeneous" in the eyes of everyone.Not everyone is capable of living under the scrutiny of everyone.

There are not many people like Fourteen.

Especially these two little ones, perhaps because they lived a good life since they were young, they are not courageous, and they are also very curious.He is also very assertive and can't be frightened even if he is frightened.

The person they both like and admire the most is Xiao Yan.

"I want to take the imperial examination too." After hearing Xiao Yuhe's words, Xiao Yuqiu said as expected.

"Then I want it too!" Xiao Yushang followed closely behind.

Tian Qiao glared at the instigator Xiao Yuhe, Xiao Yuhe was a little guilty, but he didn't admit his mistake.

"All right, all right, you guys have to learn what the teacher taught well first, and then you can talk about the imperial examination." Tian Qiao knew that the two little ones could only go along with their hair, and going against them would only be counterproductive.

Xiao Shuchang followed the carriage on horseback, and when he heard voices inside, he thought it was talking about his end in the next year.

He was a little nervous and couldn't help but grasp the rein in his hand.

He took the first exam two years ago, but failed, and he has not even been able to obtain the status of a child student until now.

Qi Lecheng passed the examination of scholar when he was 12 years old, and he will be 17 years old after the new year.

The older I get, the more I realize that the gap between people is really big.

Some people, it is true that ordinary people can't catch up even if they work hard for a lifetime.
