Chapter 564 Hit
After the finished painting was carefully framed and sent to the capital, Shi Liu received a letter from Liu Yue shortly after. The letter praised the painting as being so beautiful and said she must treasure it. The letter also mentioned that her marriage had been decided, with the third son of the Yang family, Yang Xuan'an.

The bad news was that she couldn't resist this marriage even if she wanted to. The good news was that she returned to Bingzhou years ago. Although the marriage was decided, it was still too early to get married, and she could stay in Bingzhou for at least two years.

At the end of the letter, the author kept telling Shi Liu that she must seize the opportunity to make a living in the world of martial arts, and even asked Shi Liu to go with her, to enjoy the world of martial arts and be free!

After reading the letter, Shi Liu couldn't help laughing. The little girl's mentality of enjoying the world is really good.

However, it is not known whether she can go. As for Uncle Liu, he will definitely not feel at ease letting Liu Yue go out and explore the world. At most, he will send some more people to take her to Xuanzhou and Yunzhou for some fun.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the weather gradually became cooler. One day, Shiliu took Baozhu for a stroll in the village. When they passed the village entrance, they saw a horse carriage coming down the official road outside the village from afar.

Fu Dong had good eyesight and saw clearly that it was Bafang who was driving the carriage. He became excited and said, "Girl, Master Fan is back!"

Fan Jin took part in the provincial examination this year, and would finish it on the Mid-Autumn Festival. Calculating the time, if he didn't wait for the results to be announced, he would be home by today.

Hearing the sound, Shi Liu also hurried to the stone bridge.

Bafang over there obviously also saw the pomegranate here and said something to the car.

Soon, the curtain of the car was opened, Fan Jin jumped out of the car, and strode towards Shi Liu.

"Pomegranate!"

"Didn't wait for the results to be announced?"

Fan Jin shook his head. "There are still a few days before the results are announced. It's no use waiting here. If I pass, officials will come to announce the good news. If not, it's useless to wait in the state capital."

"From your tone, it seems that you are not very confident?"

Fan Jin clasped his hands together and rubbed them. "I'm not very confident. The provincial examination is different from the imperial examination. I heard that the examiner this time, Lord Wei, has a difficult personality. No one can tell what kind of essays he will like. I have tried my best, but I'm not sure if I can pass. There are too many talented people participating in this provincial examination. My cousins, Brother Ming and Brother Derun, also participated. Brother Derun's talent is beyond words."

There are so many talented people, it's like a fight between gods. It's not easy for him to win a seat.

But if I fail this time, I will have to wait for three years.

Shi Liu said, "It's okay. What if I'm lucky enough to be the last one?"

Hearing this, Fan Jin couldn't help but joke with himself, "It's okay to be the last one! You know, I just want to win, the ranking is not important!"

In history, those who passed the imperial examinations as the top scorers did not necessarily have a smooth career as officials. There were also those who did not perform well but still passed the exam and started out as small officials and eventually rose to high positions.

"If it doesn't work out, then we can only wait three years. It's okay to wait three years, but I'm afraid our marriage can't wait for three years." Fan Jin glanced at Shi Liu and pinched his fingers nervously.

Shi Liu glanced at him. She would be seventeen next year. Even if she wanted to wait for three years, she was afraid that her parents would not let her wait for another three years. Even if the Fan family did not come to urge them to marry, they would be even more anxious, not to mention that there was also Mrs. Lu who was looking forward to her getting married every day.

"Whether it's successful or not, everything is going as planned."

It has been decided long ago that you will get married sooner or later, it doesn't matter whether you delay it or not.

However, Shi Liu glanced at Fan Jin silently, and there were some things in her heart that she could no longer explain.

Hearing Shi Liu's accurate words, Fan Jin was very excited. No matter whether it was a fake marriage or not, as long as he could see Shi Liu openly every day, that was enough!

"Going into town to play tomorrow?"

Shi Liu glared, "You just finished the nine-day and six-night provincial examination, and you took a few days on the boat to come back, why don't you take a good rest?"

Fan Jin grinned, "It's not in vain that I exercise every day. I'm in great shape! I slept all the way back on the boat, and I've had enough sleep. There's no problem going out to play tomorrow!"

The main thing is that I’m with pomegranates, so how can I be listless?

"Is Fan Jin back?" Old Man Li's voice sounded from behind.

The two turned around and saw Old Man Li and Chief Li and the others coming up the stone bridge.

Fan Jin hurried forward to greet and call for help.

Seeing that it was really Fan Jin, Old Man Li and the others became excited and asked him how he did in the exam.

Fan Jin smiled embarrassedly, "I'm not sure, I might not win. I'm sorry to have let you down, elders, down on your shoulders."

Chief Li waved his hand and consoled him, "What's the problem with failing once? We can take the exam again next year!"

Even if he fails, Fan Jin is still a serious scholar!
Old Man Li also agreed and said it was okay, he could just take the exam next time. It was not like he couldn't take it anymore if he failed. Anyway, he had the ability to continue studying, and he could take exams until his hair turned white!
Fan Jin nodded in agreement.

Li Yishan looked at Shi Liu, then pulled Chief Li and Old Man Li and winked at them.

They were all experienced people, so they reacted. Father Li quickly laughed and said, "Well, let's go to the school for a stroll. Pomegranate, you guys talk!"

And take the pearl away as well.

Shi Liu laughed and said, "I am going to the academy as well. I can take Baozhu with me."

Then, she looked at Fan Jin and said, "You should go back first. Your aunt is still waiting for you."

Fan Jin looked expectant, "What about tomorrow?"

"See you at the village entrance tomorrow morning!" Shi Liu waved her hand, picked up Baozhu and turned around.

"See you tomorrow!" Fan Jin waved happily.

-

The next morning, Shi Liu took a carriage out of the village.

The person driving the coach was Hu Zhen. Zuo Cheng had just gotten married and his wife had just gotten pregnant, so Shi Liu asked him to stay in the village to accompany his wife. The wife that Liang Chengxin was talking about was also going to get married soon, and he was preparing to be the groom.

Once the mourning period for Jiang Tong and his family is over at the end of the year, all the weddings that need to be held will be held, and quite a few of them will get married.

By the next year, most of the people around her will be married.

All the brothers and sisters got married one after another, and the only ones left who were younger than her were married about a few years ago. Yang Tao got married in April of the same year, and Pang Ni's wedding day was the next month.

In a blink of an eye, time flies so fast. It has been sixteen years since she came into this world.

Shi Liu felt quite emotional. After getting off the stone bridge, he saw Fan Jin waiting on the roadside and was surprised to find that Fan Jin had also been here for almost four years.

"Want to play chess?" Fan Jin asked with a smile.

Pomegranate glanced at him and smiled, "Come up."

Hearing this, Fan Jin's mouth curled up again. He lifted his clothes and strode into the carriage.

Bafang smiled secretly, and obediently drove the carriage to follow behind.

Fan Jin got on the car and sat down on the left side against the wall. Fu Dong quickly took out the chess box from the secret compartment and asked, "Girl, do you want to play checkers or chess?"

"Bring out the Go board." Shi Liu looked at Fan Jin, "How about playing Gobang?"

"All right!" Fan Jin nodded, his eyes fixed on Shi Liu's face, unwilling to look away. Shi Liu's ears turned red from his stare, and she quickly lowered her eyes and pretended not to see it. They had already said that it was a fake marriage, but this man's gaze was always so burning, it was hard to ignore, and it also caused ripples in people's hearts.

It’s good to play Gobang, just connect five pieces in a line, it doesn’t require much brainpower. It’s really hard to concentrate when playing other chess.

Shi Liu picked up the black chess piece and moved it to the middle of the chessboard, saying, "I can't get back to the city tonight. What if an official comes to announce good news tomorrow? Or should I go climb Daqing Mountain? The weather is bright and clear in autumn, so it's perfect for climbing the mountain. I can also see the maple forest on Daqing Mountain that is almost turning red."

"You have so much confidence in me?" Fan Jin placed a move next to him.

"Half confident, half believing in the aura of good luck?"

Fan Jin couldn't help but chuckle and nodded very seriously, "I also think I have a lucky aura."

Understanding the hidden meaning in his words, Shi Liu's breathing paused slightly, and she remained calm. On the chessboard, the line connecting three pieces was blocked, so she switched to another line.

Fan Jin followed closely behind, "Let's go to Daqing Mountain! Come to think of it, it's been a while since I last climbed Daqing Mountain."

As he spoke he laughed, thinking back to when he first arrived and went to climb the Daqing Mountain, foolishly hoping that he could die again by jumping off the cliff. At that time, Shi Liu was watching right beside him, probably laughing at him for being so stupid.

He tried to test Shi Liu in various ways, but she remained unmoved. She had thought that having a fellow villager in this world would bring her some comfort, but in the end, alas, she could not go back and could only live here.

Fortunately, God has eyes, Shi Liu is not only a fellow villager, but also her.

God also had pity on him and sent him here to reunite with her and fulfill that regret.

He felt a little regretful that he would never be able to see his parents again, but it was difficult to have both in this world, so he could only have one.

The two of them were tackling each other on the chessboard, with one player advancing and the other retreating, one player hiding and the other chasing, in all kinds of extreme tugs of war. Before the outcome of a simple game of Go was decided, they had already reached the foot of the green mountains.

The chessboard was already densely packed with black and white chess pieces, and they were evenly matched, so it was hard to tell who would win or lose.

A pomegranate dropped a seed in one place.

Fan Jin looked at the three pieces connected together. He only needed to block one end and his four pieces would also be connected. However, when Fan Jin placed the piece, it was off and landed on the side.

Pomegranate saw it clearly, smiled silently, and the four pieces connected, "I won."

"You win." Fan Jin smiled with stars in his eyes.

Shi Liu's heart skipped a beat and he quickly stood up, "We're here, get off the bus."

However, she stood up in too haste and forgot that she was in a carriage. As expected, her head hit the roof. She fell back to her seat in pain, but she stumbled and hit the chessboard. She lost her balance and was about to fall forward.

When Fan Jin saw her hit her head, his face changed and he rushed to protect her. When he saw her rushing forward, he quickly reached out and pulled her into his arms. Then, he sat down on the ground due to inertia.

Fu Dong, who was standing at the car door, opened his eyes wide and watched his daughter throw herself into her brother-in-law's arms. They both fell to the ground together, and the brother-in-law was still holding the girl tightly!
She subconsciously wanted to pull the girl, but when she saw the girl and her husband looking at each other, her eyes full of each other, her face turned red and she quickly shrank out of the car like a cat.

Shi Liu placed her hands on Fan Jin's chest, and gazed into the deep light in Fan Jin's eyes. Their breaths intertwined, their bodies pressed tightly together.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

until--

Feeling some changes under her body, Shi Liu suddenly came to her senses, quickly moved to the side, and got off Fan Jin's body.

"You, you should get up quickly!"

Fan Jin's ears turned slightly red. He leaned to the left, slowly sat up, and subconsciously pulled the hem of his robe, "Is your head okay? Is there a bump?"

Shi Liu unconsciously glanced at someone's body and shook her head, "It's okay, it's okay, let's get off the car!"

After saying that, he quickly got off the carriage.

Behind him, Fan Jin exhaled heavily, patted his legs, took a few breaths, and then got off the carriage.

Daqing Mountain is neither high nor low. A carriage cannot go up there, and it takes some effort to climb up.

However, Shi Liu and Fan Jin are both people who exercise regularly, so climbing this mountain is no problem for them.

The two of them walked up the bluestone stairs, one in front and one behind, all the way to Dabao Temple without stopping, and continued to go up.

When they reached the top of the mountain, they sat and looked at the mountain scenery for a long time before Hu Zhen and Bafang came up with Fu Dong and the food basket.

Shi Liu planned to climb Daqing Mountain today, so he asked Xichun to prepare a lot of food. Now he spread a clean cloth on the flat big rock and put all the food on it, just like an autumn outing.

We stayed in the mountains for most of the day, eating and drinking, walking side by side in the mountains, running around in the woods to catch a pheasant that bumped into the door -

It was getting late in the afternoon, so the group finally went down the mountain.

I had a great time that day, and I felt happy and comfortable both physically and mentally.

She was tired. Shi Liu had the habit of taking a nap at noon, but she didn't sleep today. As soon as she got on the carriage, which was shaking, she felt drowsy.

Seeing her pecking at rice like a chick, Fan Jin's eyes were filled with smiles. He moved closer without making a sound. Her head, which had been lowered and tilted, finally found a place to rest and rested comfortably.

Fan Jin sat upright, motionless, and with his left hand he took the small blanket beside him and wrapped it around Shi Liu to cover her.

Shi Liu woke up from a nap and found herself leaning on Fan Jin's arms. She was also stunned for a moment, and quickly stepped back, "Are we there yet?"

"We've reached the entrance of the village."

Shi Liu looked at Fan Jin and asked, "Why don't you get out of the car?"

Fan Jin looked at her quietly, then stood up and got out of the car.

Shi Liu touched his nose and watched Fan Jin get off the carriage. The carriage continued to move towards the village.

Fu Dong's eyes rolled around as he moved closer. "Girl, we've been at the village entrance for quite some time. My uncle told you to sleep a little longer and not to wake you up. Uncle Song thought something was wrong with us and asked about us!"

Shi Liu pursed her lips, didn't respond, and reached out to touch the blanket on her body.

A few days later, Li Rongshan held a third-day celebration for the birth of his son, which meant Baofeng had a younger brother, and everyone came to Li Yishan's house for the banquet.

As a cousin from another family, Shi Liu also gave her a large gold locket as a gift. She was nice to everyone in the clan, and was especially special to her great uncle's family and the family of clan leader Li.

Whether it was Li Ronghuai's cousin Tianxi, or Li Rongxian and others, Shi Liu always gave them a gold lock or a gold bracelet and was never stingy.

Here we were enjoying a wedding feast with fermented glutinous rice wine and eggs, when we heard the sound of a gong outside the village.

"What happened?" Patriarch Li was shocked and quickly sent people to check out the village entrance.

Li Rongyu put down the bowl and was about to leave. Before he even left the courtyard, the little grandson of Village Chief Liu came running towards him, panting.

"An official has gone to Shanghe Village to announce the good news! He said that Aunt Shi Liu's future son-in-law has passed the imperial examination and is a gentleman!"
