(Piao Piao Hua Hua collects it!!)
This recruitment is not compulsory. All voluntary recruits will be rewarded with a reward of ten taels of silver. Each household is limited to one applicant. WWw. QUaNbEn-xIAoShUO. Com Ten taels of silver is just a drop in the bucket for the rich, but for the poor families it can cover the expenses of two years. In addition, the Murong Dynasty used force to establish the country, and the people throughout the country believed in martial arts, so many people responded to the imperial edict.
On March 11, two carriages stopped on the roadside on the Southern Post Road in Hui County. The fresh breath of spring cannot conceal the sad atmosphere at this time.
"Tiger Su Jing has to take the test well and don't embarrass me!" Xiao Yueye held up the wine glass in her hand and said with a smile to suppress the reluctance in her heart.
Su Jing and Song Hu looked at each other with heavy expressions on their faces, raised their glasses together with Xiao Yueye, and drank them up.
The Murong Dynasty held an imperial examination every three years. This year happened to be the 31st one. According to the custom, the examinations are held in each state on the first day of April every year. Those who pass the examinations will take part in the provincial examinations held by the Ministry of Rites in the capital in late May. Finally, more than 30 people will be admitted as Jinshi. The top three will enter the Jinluan Palace to participate in the palace examination hosted by Jinshang himself, and the top three will be directly promoted to official positions. The civil and military examinations were held at the same time, but the provincial examinations for the military examinations were presided over by the Ministry of War.
The imperial examination system of the Murong Dynasty was much more rigorous and demanding than that of the previous dynasty. The examinations for the civil and military examinations are conducted uniformly. All candidates for the martial arts examinations must pass the examination.
This time Song Hu and Su Jing were preparing to take the interpretation test. Hui County is a middle county under Weituo Prefecture in Ling Province (Note 1). The examination was held in Wangxian-Linyang County of Weituo Prefecture, so the two of them had to rush there and prepare to leave today.
Rourou and Huilan are both young women with their heads tied up. Rourou is wearing a light pink double-breasted large-sleeved shirt and a simple and elegant white gauze skirt. No makeup is applied to her face. Huilan, on the other hand, wore a tender green skirt and a jade bracelet on her hand. The two of them were holding their heads and sobbing over the years of sisterly love, but they didn't know when they would see each other again today.
This time Song Hu was not only going to take the exam, but he was also moving back to the capital at home.
Mrs. Song wiped away her tears with a brocade handkerchief and gently walked over and took Rourou and Huilan's hands and said, "Okay, Huilan, it's getting late and we are on our way. Rourou, do you need to take care of yourself in the future?"
Xiao Yueye sighed deeply and hugged Song Hu and Su Jing and said, "You two boys must win the first prize in civil and military affairs, you know?"
Song Hu and Su Jing's eyes were red. They suddenly held down Xiao Yueye twice and yelled: "The brat is obviously younger than us and always pretends to be the boss. Now he's just in time to take revenge."
The relationship between the three of them was condensed in the fight. This was the only time that Xiao Yueye accepted the beating and scolded without fighting back.
The old housekeeper of Su Jing's house looked at the time and came over to ask for instructions: "It's getting late, young master, let's hurry on."
Rourou sent Mrs. Song and Huilan to the carriage, turned around and walked towards Xiao Yueyue, leaning in his arms and reluctantly looking at the carriage that was going further away. Xiao Yueye hugged her and patted her unconsciously, watching the disappearing carriage in silence.
At this time, Xiao Yueye couldn't help but hum a song he had learned when he was in elementary school in his previous life:
Beside the ancient road outside Changting
The grass is green and the sky is green.
A pot of turbid wine leaves only joy
Sunset outside the mountains.
. . . . . .
Song Hu and Su Jing passed the test easily. Su Renyi, the magistrate of Hui County, was overjoyed and held a banquet at home.
Xiao Yueye's life has become much more monotonous since these two people left. Gu Yao and Qiu Ziyun announced the end of classes one after another. Xiao Yueye spent his own time on weekdays. This is really a problem for him. His regular life for several years was suddenly disrupted, which made him quite disappointed. Fortunately, there was a considerate Rourou beside him.
People say that after a full meal, one can think about lust, but for Xiao Yueye, when she is confused and lost, immersing herself in the arms of a beautiful woman is a good way.
The events in Wushan over the past few days have made Rourou a little bit too much. She grabbed Xiao Yueye's dishonest hand and glanced at him with a look that seemed to be angry but not angry, got out of bed and put on her clothes.
Xiao Yueye felt warm in her heart when she saw her blushing cheeks and green shy look. After Rourou put on her clothes, he habitually pulled her over, buried his head on her chest and said in a low voice: "Sister Rourou, I'm sorry, I'm really at a loss lately."
Rourou naturally knew his mood. She touched Xiao Yueye's head considerately and said with a smile: "I know, young master, I know everything. But the young master's mother said that when you can't find the direction, it is better to think about your original intention, your dream."
Although they have been married for a year, Rourou is still used to calling Xiao Yueye young master.
Xiao Yueye curled her lips slightly and said jokingly: "You are almost like my mother when you stay at her place every day."
"Isn't it bad to be like mother? My dream is to become a person like mother, but it's a pity that now I'm not even a drop in the bucket." Rourou put her hands around Xiao Yueye's neck and leaned her head gently on Xiao Yueye's head. .
Xiao Yueye moved a little, changed to a comfortable position, held Rourou's hand and pouted, saying: "If you look like my mother, I will be miserable in the future. Mother is so smart. Sister Rourou, don't deliberately imitate my mother. You are you. What I like is Sister Rourou, but you are not my mother’s shadow.”
Rourou's heart moved and she unconsciously raised her eyes with a smile. She didn't say anything, just hugged Xiao Yueye and shook her gently.
"Sister Rourou, I'm going to go out in a few days to see things outside." Xiao Yueye thought for a while and made up her mind.
She was slightly startled, Rourou let out a soft sigh and then asked, "Master, are you planning to go out?"
Xiao Yueye sat upright and looked at Rourou with sparkling eyes and said, "Well, I'm going to prepare for my No. 1 brothel in the world. Now that Tiger Su Jing is striving for his dream back then, I can't fall behind them. Rourou. Sister Rou, how about we leave tomorrow? Let’s take advantage of the beautiful spring weather and play together.”
Rourou's eyebrows were raised, and her whole body was full of energy, but suddenly a faint bitterness came to her heart. She remained calm and said happily, "Okay, but we have to talk to mother first."
Xiao Yueye grabbed her and turned around, walking towards the door and shouting: "Go now."
In Mrs. Xiao's house, Xiao Yueyue threw herself into Mrs. Xiao's arms and shook her hand coquettishly. Liu'er and Rourou looked at each other and could see the smile in each other's eyes.
Mrs. Xiao's helpless tone showed no less kindness in her eyes. She lifted Xiao Yueye up, who was like mud, and said softly: "Okay, what else do you want from me? They are all married and still as rude as when they were children."
Xiao Yueye smiled and sat on the chair next to her, pulled Rourou into her arms, then turned to Mrs. Xiao and said, "Mom, I'm going to go out with Sister Rourou to visit my No. 1 brothel in the world. Exploring.”
Mrs. Xiao glanced at Rourou, who was a little shy. The time passed and she pointed her index finger at her son and cursed: "Why are you investigating your own No. 1 brothel in the world? I think you just lost your temper and wanted to go out." ”
"Hey, mother, I really want to build the best brothel in the world. This time I went out just to visit the brothels all over the country and find some professional talents along the way, such as good chefs and masters who can write lyrics and compose music. Don't you also Do you think people should go out and meet more friends?”
Mrs. Xiao rolled her eyes at him and said, "I have never seen you take action on this dream of yours from the novel to the novel. Well, if I can't tell you, go ahead."
With a cheer, Xiao Yueye jumped up, straightened Rourou upright, and then stepped forward to hug Mrs. Xiao and said happily: "I know that mother loves me the most, long live mother."
After Xiao Yueye calmed down, Mrs. Xiao smiled lightly and said, "How many people are going to go out? How much silver do we need?"
Xiao Yueye nodded her lips and said: "I, Miss Rourou, three, four, and four are enough. Two hundred taels of silver should be enough."
Liu'er laughed from the side and said, "Master, you took Rourou with you to the brothel. Why did you make her feel so embarrassed?"
Xiao Yue was stunned for a moment and slapped her forehead fiercely. Just as she was about to speak, Rourou said, "Yes, young master, to be honest, I don't really want to go out. You also know that my mother has been in poor health recently and I want to stay at home to take care of her."
The mother Rourou is talking about now is her biological mother, Aunt Liu San.
Xiao Yueye sighed in annoyance. His excited expression became slightly depressed, and he said with some hesitation: "By the way, I almost forgot. If that's the case, then I won't go either."
Mrs. Xiao smiled, patted her son gently, and cursed: "I just said that with a righteous and awe-inspiring look. Now that I don't want to go, I immediately changed my words. Okay, Rourou, I won't go. You are taking my mistress and mistress with you." Go out for a walk. Don’t be reluctant to come back soon. Also, you will have to learn to make money to support your family now that you are a husband.”
It would be a lie to say that Xiao Yueye had no regrets in her heart, but what Mrs. Xiao said was also very reasonable. In the end, Xiao Yueye could only curl her lips and agree.
