Pastoral affairs

The carriage rolled forward slowly, and because of the lot of snow on the ground, the carriage did not go smoothly.Cui Wei's cheeks were as red as fire, and there seemed to be water in her eyes. Seeing her like this, Nie Qiuran couldn't bear it, and seeing her timid and afraid to make a sound, she felt more and more excited. When he was having fun, Cui Wei's body softened, and she lay on top of him, panting rapidly, so tired that she didn't even want to move her fingers, Nie Qiuran slowly faded out of her body, While looking at her lazy appearance, he took out the water bag in the carriage and cleaned it up for her, then put her in his arms again.

After all the love affairs, Cui Wei lost her mind to think about other things. Seeing her tired look, Nie Qiuran also hugged her and prepared to sleep for a while.The two huddled together and hadn't fully fallen asleep just now. As soon as they fell asleep, Nie Qiuran's feet touched a ball of furry things. He poked and meowed. Hearing this voice, the hairs on the back immediately stood up: "What?" The two of them did something bad just now, if anyone saw it, her face would be wiped out!

Seeing her nervousness, Nie Qiuran patted her on the back, got up and lifted the quilt, and pulled out a big snow-white and fat cat from inside. Cui Wei's face suddenly turned black, and the original drowsiness disappeared. , while pointing at the fur ball, a little surprised:

"When did you get it up?" Nie Qiuran has always liked these snow-white fluffy things. Seeing him holding the fur ball now, Cui Wei suddenly felt a little numb: "Even Shangjing didn't forget to bring it up." Take it, you two really love each other."

Nie Qiuran's face, which was a little surprised at first, turned dark when he heard Cui Wei's words.Throwing the fur ball in his hand into the carriage, he lay down himself, and hugged his wife into his arms: "What are you talking about, I don't know when it jumped up, this cat is always there It's fine, don't worry about it!"

Cui Wei was also joking with him at first, but now she was so tired that she seemed to be falling apart, and the cat followed her again.It's just raising another little guy, and it's not impossible for her to do it, so naturally she didn't say much, she yawned, and then closed her eyes.

Accompanied by Cui Wei on this journey, the boring itinerary that was originally more than half a month suddenly became interesting.Cui Wei originally thought that Nie Qiuran should not have the time to mess around with her on this trip with him. Unexpectedly, Nie Qiuran would spend the rest of her time looking at her except for reading books to pass the time. After more than half a month, when they arrived in Beijing, neither of them suffered much, except Cui Jinghuai, who was driving the car.It made my skin stiff!

Shangjing, the capital of the Daqing Dynasty, was originally in the north, and Shangjing was surrounded by water on three sides.The entire capital is majestic and majestic.This place really deserves to be under the foot of the Son of Heaven. Originally, Cui Wei thought that Lin'an City was already extremely lively, but she didn't expect that when she came to Shangjing, she found that Lin'an was far worse than Shangjing.Selling things and peddlers walking around are everywhere, ranging from small ones selling flower drum clay figurines that children like, to large ones selling women's jewelry and rouge.Everything that one expects to find is very lively.It is different from the lively shopping in modern times.At this time, there is an antique taste in the bustle of the upper capital of the Daqing Dynasty.

It is not something that can be portrayed by some TV dramas. The houses in Shangjing are exquisite, and the entire capital is surrounded by a huge moat. It is not the same as the ancient capital of Beijing recorded in history. On the contrary, it looks like Shangjing from a distance. Like a bustling city on water.The carriage slowly drove across the huge moat bridge, with soldiers in armor on both sides waiting in battle, and many scholars in jackets behind the carriage also entered the city, creating a very lively scene.

Not only Cui Wei's eyes were straightened, even Cui Jingping stared at the bustling Beijing with his eyes wide open and speechless.

"Now is the season for spring outings, but this year the weather is a bit colder, and now few people go out of the city for outings. There is a Changchun Garden outside the city. From April to May, the weather is cooler, and all kinds of flowers in it are blooming just right. I'll take you to play." Seeing Cui Wei leaning on the window sill and looking out, Nie Qiuran couldn't help but said to her with a smile on his face.Cui Wei nodded and realized after a while: "How do you know about the situation in Shangjing? Have you been here before?"

Nie Qiuran nodded without changing his expression, and lowered the curtains of the car for her: "The carriage is going fast here, don't freeze, wait until you go into the city and find a place to stay." As he spoke, he let Cui Wei rest inside by himself, and he opened the car door and went out. If there is no one to point out the way to the capital, the two brothers Cui Jinghuai might get lost. The size of the capital is ten Lin'an The city is not as good as it was. When he first came to Beijing, he was almost dizzy. Now that he is a human being, recalling the situation back then, he couldn't help laughing.

Along the way, Nie Qiuran found an inn like an old horse knowing the way, and stayed first. They had money in their hands, and they entered Beijing half a month earlier. Naturally, there was a place to live. Although the place was not very good, it was better than Cui Wei. I imagined that sleeping on the street would be much better.Originally, I thought that I had already thought about the grand occasion of taking the exam every three years during the Spring Festival. Unexpectedly, I only relied on my own imagination before, and now I have witnessed the scene of many people in the inn crowded in the lobby of the inn and playing on the floor. Cui Wei was a little speechless.

The Daqing Dynasty had a vast territory, rich resources, and a rich population. It was a blessing that a Juren came out of a Xiaowan village, but over the past few decades, there have been quite a few Juren all over the country. Some Juren with gray hair at fifty or so can still think of it. There are many people rushing for the exam.In comparison, Nie Qiuran is so young and handsome, which is really rare. Cui Wei noticed that a few of them lived in the inn for less than a day, and looked at Nie Qiuran, wanting to come forward There are not a few people who talk to each other.

Several people rested in the inn for a night. When Cui Wei got up early the next morning, she was planning to go out to find out if there was a suitable location for her to open a shop and sell houses. Nie Qiuran was fine today and was going to accompany She went out to have a look together. The two couples had just come out of the inn. Cui Wei went to the room where Cui Jingping and the two were staying. She saw that the outside had been locked, and the two brothers had disappeared. The lobby downstairs of the inn There was a loud shout of applause, the inn was made of wooden buildings, and the sound of everyone shouting together made the wooden boards on the second floor tremble slightly.

"What's going on downstairs, it's so lively?" Cui Wei is still not used to such a pure wooden building, she always feels that stepping on it is very insecure, and when the wooden board shakes, she also becomes a little scared, and quickly thinks go downstairs.Seeing her slightly pale face, Nie Qiuran couldn't help but helped her by the hand and led her downstairs, and said to her, "This inn is specially set up for students to stay. During the Spring Festival, the inn prepared some couplets and other activities every day, and let everyone go to the couplets, and each displayed their academic literature. There were also court officials who would come here from time to time to see if there were any of them who could become those officials. Disciples and talents can be collected and used."

To put it simply, this inn is quite similar to some job fairs in the previous life. Cui Wei nodded, indicating that she understood. When she went downstairs to the corner, she saw a large space in the middle of the inn lobby. , a middle-aged scholar about [-] years old, wearing a blue gown, was sitting on a high platform, writing something in his hand. When he stopped writing after a long while, he spread the rice paper in his hand, The four sides of the inn were held up and turned around, and there were constant applause and cheers from around Nuo Da's inn.At the other side of the inn, there is another private seat surrounded by wooden fences. Several people in their fifties and sixties, wearing brocade shirts and respectively receiving brocade clothes, exchanged words with each other. After a while, a boy in green clothes came towards the person. Walking over, he said loudly: "The master of the slave family will give you five taels of silver. Your husband is very talented. I wish you an early high school!"

The middle-aged man took the money excitedly, thanked him, and many people rushed to perform on stage.

Most of the people present here really need money, but there are also a small number of families who are very wealthy and have no shortage of money. They just come here and sit in the private seats, and take out the silver as a reward. , represents an appreciation, so everyone is naturally happy to receive this silver. Cui Wei stood on the stairs and looked at it for a while, but she really saw how famous it was, so she couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.

The venue was very lively, with all kinds of students showing their demeanor and learning, and the atmosphere was very lively for a while. Cui Wei stood for a long time, and Nie Qiuran saw her without turning his eyes, and then said: "If you really like it, Let's go downstairs and find a place to sit, eat something before going out." Cui Wei nodded, there were very few entertainments in ancient times, and it was rare to encounter such a situation where the contestants competed, and it was indeed exciting. The two went down Coming upstairs, many people who were staring at the venue didn't notice these two people, but some people sitting in the private seats looked over here. When they saw Nie Qiuran, many people's eyes lit up , several of them stood up, looking this way, and at the same time giving orders to the little boy in Tsing Yi beside him, someone not far away was waving at Cui Wei and calling loudly:

"Sister, come quickly, I've reserved a seat for you!" Cui Wei followed the voice, and saw Cui Jingping and Cui Jinghuai sitting on two stools, each with one buttocks. When she shouted at this time, the surrounding people glared. It's nothing more than these two guys occupying positions, but it's really shameless to speak so openly now!Cui Jingping has been doing business in Lin'an City for a year at least. He has a thick skin. Although people look at him with contempt, he can still bring a smile on his face and chat with the people around him. Ignore him, but Cui Jinghuai, who is on the side, is a bit more honest. He was forced by Cui Jingping to occupy two seats just now, and now his face is already on fire, and he is extremely embarrassed. He is an honest person, and he is always simple , some instinctive fear and admiration for scholars, now seeing everyone glaring at him, Cui Jinghuai immediately lowered his head and was speechless.
