"All things are under the control of my cousin and Mr. Xie, so you can't let me have a try?"

"No, this matter is very important. You swallow it in your stomach, and you don't say a word after you leave Shenjia Village. I think you have given your heart to the wild recently. I will write a letter to uncle. You It’s best to go to Beijing to prepare for the exam as soon as possible.”

"No test, no test, I want to travel to the great rivers and mountains of Dayan!"

Qin Zheng shook his head like a rattle to express his pursuit of ideals.

The Qin family is now in full swing. He is so good in his studies. If he accidentally got the top prize in the exam, will he accept it or accept it?

He's so smart that he won't face such a dilemma, and the signs will be cut off from the root, that's all!
"No test, absolutely no test!"

No exam?
Fu Chenglan stared at him for a while with sharp eyes, and said, "I remember you and Shen Jieyuan have a good friendship?"

"Xing Luo is my confidant, and even the Qin family's savior."

"Shenjia Village has made great contributions to arresting the bandits in Qingshanzhai. Zhou Lesong was killed here again. Shen Xingluo's name must have been placed on Zhou Xiang's desk. Are you sure you don't plan to go to Beijing?"

"!"

When the fourth letter from Shenjia Village was received, the Shenjia carriage had already entered the border of Zhuozhou.

In the past month, a few people have visited half of Dayan, seen the Shennong Mountain range up close, browsed large and small Buddhist temples, and stayed in almost every famous town for two or three days.

The beautiful mountains and rivers are so spectacular, but what amazed a few people is not only these, but also the delicacies they tasted along the way.

Cheng Xi used local ingredients to make new dishes almost everywhere, which often caused other guests in the inn to suffer. When they checked out, the shopkeeper looked at them almost with gratitude.

"Brother, what did Uncle Mandun say in the letter?"

"The second-season potatoes planted in the village are already three inches high, and they are growing gratifyingly. In addition, most of the cherry trees and grape vines bought by the Qin family have survived."

"Then when we go back, can't we see cherry trees and grape vines all over the mountains?"

"good."

"Great, next year I can learn how to make wine with my sister-in-law!"

Shen Xingluo didn't speak, Cheng Xi glanced at her meaningfully.

Little idiot, according to your elder brother Jie Yuan's strength in Lin'an Mansion, he will definitely be admitted to the top three. Even if he doesn't stay in the capital, he will be released. He won't be able to return to Shenjia Village in the past two years.

"The cherries have to wait until next year. Now is the season when the grapes are ripe. If you want to learn, I'll leave it to you in the capital."

What's more, everything can make wine, so what are cherries and grapes?
Shen Xingqi's eyes sparkled upon hearing this.

In this month, the little girl has grown up at a speed visible to the naked eye. The baby's fat face has grown, and the delicate facial features reveal a bit of youthful vitality unique to girls.

Seeing this, Cheng Xi's heart moved, Xiaobaicai finally grew up.

The swaying carriage gradually stopped, and when Wang Shu's voice came, several people got out of the carriage together.

This is a mountain forest near the official road. The weather is getting cooler at the beginning of August in the lunar calendar, and the heat has long since disappeared, and the autumn wind is just right.

Not long after, Su Zhan started a fire, and Wang Shu also brought some wild game.

Shen Xingqi automatically took over the cooking work, added a lot of seasoning to the pheasant belly, wrapped it in thick lotus leaves, and buried it under the fire.

There are many passers-by in the woods, among them are scholars with bookcases on their backs.

Since entering August, more and more scholars have met along the way, which also means that their plan to travel to Beijing is coming to an end.

A scholar walked out of an ordinary carriage in the distance, stared at this side for a while, hesitated for a while, and finally walked over.

"Brother, uh, can you use the fire?"

Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi looked in the direction the man came from, and saw a pile of unlit firewood near the carriage.

"random."

"Thank you, brother."

The scholar didn't seem to be very sociable, so he took a red-hot firewood after heaved a sigh of relief, and lit a fire after a while.

Not long after, the smell of the fire was tangy.

Shen Xingqi dug out the lumps of soil in the fire, and tapped it twice with a branch, until the hard lumps of soil fell off piece by piece, then paved them away layer by layer along the texture of the lotus leaf, revealing the fragrance inside. chicken.

Just as she was about to divide the meat into small pieces, she heard a swallowing sound and a gurgling sound from her stomach. When she turned her head, she saw a four or five-year-old doll looking at her pitifully with big eyes. Beggar chicken.

"Gudong-"

The little boy blushed and immediately lowered his head, but after a while, he raised his head again and stared at the meatloaf.

".You are hungry?"

"Hungry, Feng'er is hungry."

Shen Xingqi was immediately captured by the boy's pitiful expression, and cut out a small piece of chicken with a dagger, but before the meat was sent out, the scholar who borrowed the fire just now came quickly to pick up the boy.

"Holding, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, the younger brother is not sensible, and has caused trouble for everyone."

"Brother Yu, why is your brother so pitiful? You starve him like this? If you don't have any money to buy food, we can lend you!"

"That's right, brother Yu, we are all students of the same academy, this embarrassment can't be thrown outside."

Not far away, a few handsome men stood or sat next to a few luxury carriages, in stark contrast to the scholar in patched cloth in front of the fire.

The scholar's face was flushed red by these words, but he was a little calm in his shame and indignation.

"Don't bother you guys, although I have a small pocket, I can still afford to support my younger brother."

He hugged the boy in his arms, turned around and saluted Shen Xingluo, "Please don't blame me for disturbing you."

"It's okay, brother is also going to Beijing to rush for the exam?"

"Yes, I'm in Yuheting, Liuzhou, I don't know Xiongtai."

"Shen Xingluo from Lin'an Mansion."

Shen Xingluo didn't seem to notice his embarrassment, so he took a step back to make room, "Since we are both students rushing for the exam, Brother Yu can sit down together if you don't mind."

Surprise flashed across Yu Heting's face, he didn't expect that someone would offer an invitation after being so taunted, even a few people in brocade clothes not far away were startled, and cast their unkind eyes towards the fire.

"Heh, another mud-legged kid from a lowly background, the real thing gathers like a feather and divides people into groups."

"Brother Qian, why do you care about him? He didn't know where he came from. After reading a few books, he thought he could make a career in the sky in the future?"

"Using mud lumps for food, it's really 'out of the ordinary', no wonder I fell in love with Brother Yu."

Shen Xingluo didn't even look at them, and took advantage of Yu Heting's stupefied time to pull him to sit down. Cheng Xi next to him rubbed his itchy fists to suppress his thoughts, and gave Wang Shu and Su Zhan a calm look.

"Thank you, brother Shen, for the invitation."

Seeing that he had already sat down, Yu Heting sighed and looked apologetically at a few people, "Those people didn't get along with me, and everyone was troubled."

"It's just a clown, brother Yu don't have to worry about it."
