The lucky wife of a peasant is not easy to mess with, so she can earn her life by marrying her husba

The house Xichun and the others rent is two miles away from Gongyuan. With such a distance, it won't be in the way even if they walk there on the day of the exam.

The families living here are all ordinary people in the capital, but the lives of the people here are obviously much richer, so naturally they are not curious about the two Juren living here.

The surroundings were very quiet. Even in the winter, there was no sound of children making noise outside. Everyone was finally able to sleep peacefully for a few nights.

"The Chinese New Year will be here in a few days, and this year is my first Chinese New Year to be spent outside. I thought that our two families are all away from home anyway, so why not just spend the New Year together in peace and contentment? I also asked my family to do a few things. Let’s have some fun together with our specialty dishes?”

Fu Changfeng and Zeng Juren occupied the study room together. These days, they were studying behind closed doors. They had no idea what to do about the New Year. Sister Cao had no choice but to come to Xichun to discuss it.

"I think this will work. Let's go shopping together. I can't get used to the flavor here, so adding the chili peppers we brought would be the soul." Xichun also thought so in his heart, and now he readily agreed.

Anyway, the two of them had nothing to do. Taozi went out to buy vegetables with them. He was good at this. You could also buy mutton shipped from the north. It looked very fresh. The shopkeeper told them that these sheep were raised in the suburbs. It is very convenient to kill as much as you sell every day.

After frying all the meatballs and buying red paper, Fu Changfeng and the two of them personally wrote couplets with good meanings and posted them on the door, creating a festive atmosphere.

"Tonight's food is really rich. Come on, let's eat quickly. I heard that people from the palace will come out to set off fireworks later. This thing is something we rarely see, so we have to appreciate it." Fu Changfeng and Zeng Juren At the same table, Xie Juren was also invited to join us.

Several people feasted, and the taste of hometown suddenly came to their minds. The three of them drank and composed poems, leaving the thoughts of the exam behind and had a good drink.

"Today is really the happiest day since I have been in the capital for so long. I can be with my friends and have good wine and food. It is much better than the atmosphere in the inn. Unfortunately, I don't have enough money, otherwise I would like to live alone. .”

After drinking some wine, Xie Jucai opened his heart and spoke out his innermost thoughts. Fu Changfeng and the others had also invited him, but due to lack of money, he had to refuse them.

"Brother Xie, your knowledge is so good. You will definitely go to high school for this examination. Then these will not be a problem. In the future, when you become an official, you can still realize your ambitions. This is what I have studied for these years." Fu Changfeng comforted him.

"Hey, it's not that easy to achieve. I have heard about many talented people from the south of the Yangtze River in these days in the inn. They are all knowledgeable. When I first left Yizhou Prefecture, I still thought that I would definitely win this time, but when I left Now that I'm here in the capital, I don't dare to be so sure anymore. There are too many talents in the world, but too few Bole."

Xie Juren shook his head. He had also been hit hard from being high-spirited to now.

"Brother Xie, don't belittle yourself. We can pass the provincial examination. The difference in knowledge is not big. It's just a matter of a little less talent and more luck. Come, come, drink this cup together. I hope we can all succeed."

They were not clear about the conversation between the three men. The two were eating hot pot and chatting in the yard. There were the voices of many children outside the yard. They thought they had gone out to play in the company of their parents.

"I'm going to take a good look later to see how beautiful the fireworks are. I've only heard that Yizhou Prefecture lets them go, but I've never seen them before." Sister Cao looked forward to it.

"I think it should be pretty." Xichun had seen so many great scenes and was not very curious about the ancient fireworks at this time.

Soon the time came to midnight, and the people outside the door cheered even louder. Xichun and Sister Cao did not dare to go out at this time, fearing that something would happen if there were too many people.

"Let's just take a look in this yard. I heard you can see it from here too." As soon as Sister Cao finished speaking, she heard a banging sound in the distance, and huge fireworks suddenly burst into flames in the sky. There was a lot of sound.

"This is so beautiful. No wonder I always hear people mention it. It turns out that this is what fireworks look like."

"Haha, yes, it's a pity that beautiful things are too short-lived and disappear in just an instant."

It was only on days like this that ordinary people could appreciate such beautiful fireworks. None of them could bear to blink and stared at the sky seriously. However, the fireworks only went off for a few times and then disappeared. After waiting for a while, there was still no movement, and then the crowd dispersed. went.

As the New Year passed, the exam time was getting closer and closer, and most of the people around me had become scholars. I guess they were people from the prefectures near the capital who came after the New Year.

"There are more and more people these days, and there is a mixture of fish and dragons. You should be careful when you go out." Fu Changfeng told Xi Chun. These days, she and Sister Cao go out to wander around the area, sometimes to temple fairs, sometimes to buy vegetables.

"Understood, we also plan to go out less in the future. There are too many people, and we are worried about what will happen. If you are not familiar with the place, it is best not to run around."

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the general examination. Fu Changfeng and Zeng Juren were sent to the Gongyuan. They also saw how many people there were. Normally, these two candidates would have shocked the people. But today, everyone was not surprised. .

"It's crowded, Sister Zeng, let's go back early. The weather is getting cold right now, so we'd better go back and warm ourselves up by the charcoal fire." The two of them were relieved for the time being. They were still waiting just now and had something to do. It's cold, but now I feel the cool breeze of the capital.

"Let's go, I feel a lot colder too." Sister Cao held Tang Pozi, who was starting to feel cold, and they went home together.

"Bang bang bang, oh oh oh." The children's voices spread throughout the streets and alleys. Today is February [-], the dragon raised its head, and many children ran out to play.

"It seems that the capital attaches great importance to February [-]nd. It's so lively. It's a pity that we can't see it in person." The two were getting off the carriage. When they heard the laughter of the children, Sister Cao thought of the children at home. , I felt a little melancholy again.

"When they come back, we can also go out and have a look. It's really boring to be stuck in this small place every day. By the way, why don't we play Go together? I've been thinking about it from the book these days." Xichun is also too much. I was bored, so I started learning Fu Changfeng's chess records.

"I don't know how to play Go, but I have nothing to do. Let's practice." Sister Cao was also bored and said.

The two of them were not interested at first, but after practicing a few more times, they became interested.

"Come again, come again, this game of chess is really interesting." After playing for several days, the two finally stopped.

"Taozi, the doctor hasn't regretted it now, right? There are so many people taking the exam that I'm afraid he might regret it. We are not familiar with this capital city, so it would be better to find a reputable doctor."

"Sister Xichun, don't worry, he will come on that day as promised." Taozi said to Xichun after confirming the doctor's condition. (End of chapter)
