I raised a husband in ancient times

Chapter 47

The two first-year students were woken up by the sound of firecrackers outside not long after they slept. They had done almost nothing all day long and just lay on the bed to catch up on their sleep.

After regaining their energy on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the young couple got up early, packed their New Year's goods and headed to Xue's father's house.

This is the traditional Mother-in-law's Day, where we go to our parents' home to visit our father-in-law and mother-in-law.

The two of them were riding an ox cart from the village to the town. There were many people visiting relatives today, so people were walking around each other on the road.

What was inconsistent with this rustic atmosphere was an exquisite carriage, slowly coming from the direction of Jushui Town.

The window curtains were half open, and a delicate hand with a jade bracelet was placed on the window frame. When he passed by Lu Yiming and the others, he happened to catch a glimpse of the three people inside.

A little girl in pink clothes looked around, sitting on a woman wearing a brocade dress. Next to her was a scholar with a short beard, frowning and looking impatiently out of the window.

Lu Yiming glanced at it and then looked away. He happened to meet the inquiring eyes of the husband next to him. He rubbed his little head and said, "Don't think too much."

This was the Song Yan family who were returning to the village from the town to pay New Year's greetings. They passed by each other just now. The other party also glanced at him with a condescending look.

Pei Xing shook his head. The way his husband looked at him was completely different from the way he looked at Song Yan. He used to close himself off and didn't dare to think too much, but now he is not afraid of this.

Because he trusts his husband.

Without looking in the direction of the carriage, he pulled down the warm hand above his head, clenched his somewhat cold left hand into a fist, and looked at Lu Yiming calmly.

The latter stretched out his other hand to move the person next to him, and then he sat in the wind of the ox cart moving forward to block the wind for the person who was downwind.

The two of them didn't say a word during the whole process, but they had an indescribable tacit understanding.

The husband and wife were leaning side by side. Lu Yiming wanted to hold him in his arms, but because of the crowd, he was afraid that the husband would be gossiped about, so he gave up this behavior for the time being.

He tightened the cloak hood on the husband's head, and his eyes fell on the dancing strands of hair. The thought of spending money came again. Maybe he should buy a carriage with a chariot to protect him from wind and rain. The husband did not need it. Suffer this.

He told Pei Xing his idea, and not surprisingly, the other party didn't agree.

"Soon, my husband will go to Jiangzhou Prefecture. The waterway here is easy to travel. We take a boat and don't need a carriage."

Lu Yiming thought for a long time and suppressed the budding thoughts. They really have to keep running around in the near future. They can't buy anything until everything has settled down. Late.

Dajing Kingdom has not established the titles of martial arts students and scholars. The martial arts students who pass the examination directly become martial arts examiners. They can register for the provincial examination in June, or they can no longer take the examination and select the martial arts examination candidates for local appointments. For example The county lieutenant in Jushui Town was born in Wuju.

Generally speaking, if a Jinshi was born and granted an official position, he or she would basically be at the feet of the emperor, who would confer the official directly. The remaining Jinshi and candidates who had not received official positions would be under the control of the Ministry of War.

Different from the liberal arts examination, the martial arts examination is hosted by the Ministry of War, while the liberal arts examination is organized by the Ministry of Rites.

There is a slight difference in time. The provincial examination for liberal arts is usually held in the spring of the next year, and the provincial examination and the palace examination are arranged in the same year. However, the provincial examination for martial arts is in September, and the palace examination is in March of the following year.

The threshold of the martial arts examination is much higher than that of the liberal arts examination. It eliminates a large number of people in terms of status and financial resources. Compared with the liberal arts examination, the number of people is much smaller. There is no need for another exam.

Most of the military officials in the imperial court were hereditary or descendants of the gentry. Those selected from official schools and civilians were just supplementary talents, and of course their positions were much smaller.

Folks can't pass the exams for those who go to official schools, and those who go to official schools can't compare to those who have military attachés in their families. Naturally, fewer ordinary people will sign up.

Even Jiang Runshan had someone in his family who was on duty in the capital and had obtained fame as a descendant of Yin Shen.

There is also Feng Tingji, whom I met the day before yesterday. Although the official position of the county magistrate is not high, his son can go to the official school of Jiangzhou Prefecture, so it is relatively easy to obtain fame.

Lu Yiming has not studied for a long time, but he is still confident in his own strength, and he will have no problem getting on the list. It may not be possible to achieve the first and second grades in the imperial examination, but the chances of getting the Jinshi are quite high.

Even if he can't pass the Wu Jinshi exam, where can he put the face of a post-apocalyptic boss with cheats?

Once something is done, he must try his best to complete it. Although he has no intention of being on duty in the capital, local officials are more likely to be obtained by those who have excellent scores in scientific examinations.

Thinking of this, he recalled something from his original memory. The Dajing Kingdom implemented a system of official transfer. Officials appointed by the court, ranging from the governor of the county to the county magistrate, chief, prime minister, and lieutenant, were not allowed to use their original place of origin. personnel.

If he becomes a local official, he cannot be in Jushui Town or even in Jiangzhou Prefecture. This is also a troublesome matter.

There is no need to worry about the future now. At the moment, he has not even started to solve the problem.

Lu Yiming turned around and glanced at a certain rabbit who was still fighting with his hair. The rabbit's eyes were almost cross-eyed as he stared at the few strands of hair blown by the wind.

Really unable to see through it, he reached out his hand and put it behind the person's ears, and said with a smile, "How about doing eye exercises?"

Pei Xing looked at him innocently, not understanding what this meant.

"It's okay." Lu Yiming held up his cheeks and rubbed them with his hands, "You say Xiaoxing is cute."

Pei Xingcai didn't believe what her husband said. She must be fooling him and bullying him for not understanding something. For example, her husband sometimes inadvertently The words "hand chicken", "flying chicken", and even "condom" mentioned at night were obviously true, but they didn't say a word when asked.

It's not just about bullying him for being ignorant.

The driver of the cattle cart turned around and saw the two young couples chatting with each other, which was very strange.

According to rumors in Wuhe Village, Lu Yiming was famous for not liking his husband. Looking at the interaction between the two, he didn't feel it at all. He even felt that Lu Yiming liked his husband very much. His eyes I couldn't bear to leave for a while.

Seeing Lu Yiming put Brother Xing's hand into his sleeve again, Li Erniu couldn't help but ask: "Yiming, where are you going?"

Ancient people didn't have much entertainment, so they just listened to their neighbors. Gossip to pass the time.

Since the controversy over the hundreds of taels of drawings, the Lu family is now the center of conversation in Wuhe Village. People in the village pay attention to their family's affairs intentionally or unintentionally. People in the village basically know about the Pei family's scandal without deliberately publicizing it.

Today is the Second Day of the Lunar New Year, and the passers-by on the road are going to the natal homes of their respective husbands and wives to pay New Year greetings.

He saw a backpack full of people. Although he couldn't see what it was specifically, he could guess that there were a lot of things in it. At first glance, he was visiting someone.

But the Pei family is not in this direction. What are they doing in town at this time?

Lu Yiming turned to look at Li Erniu and replied: "It's my father who went to visit his wife and wish him a happy new year." Li Erniu

was slightly surprised. Instead of visiting his master's house, he went to see his father who was leaving. , he has never heard of such etiquette, it is not shocking to the world, but it is still a bit unusual.

However, after accepting the other party's money, he did not want to offend the other party. He changed the topic with a smile: "You treat your husband well. I have never seen someone who takes such good care of your husband."

Speaking of her husband, Lu Yiming is proud of himself. When someone praises his husband, he is willing to say a few more words: "That's because my wife is virtuous. He sewed these clothes bit by bit. They are very warm. And this purse is exquisite. My husband He is very skillful with his hands."

Originally, he wanted to praise him more, but when he saw his husband lowering his head and tugging at his sleeves, his cheeks slightly red, he stopped showing off.

Turning around, he saw Li Erniu twitching the corners of his mouth, smiling reluctantly, and stopped talking. He still had to show off this matter to an acquaintance who didn't have a wife.

Well, Mr. Jiang Runshan Jiang is good, and so are Xie Cheng and Gu Huan.

Li Erniu was heartbroken when he heard the boastful words that came to an abrupt end.

Who on earth heard the news that Lu Yiming likes women? If he didn't like his husband, he would write his name backwards.

The rumors really can't be believed.

Lu Yiming and Pei Xing entered the city gate and walked over.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the door of the escort agency in the town was closed. Lu Yiming took a look at it when he passed by. From the appearance, it was almost the same as the building in the modern TV series.

Modern antiques do a good job in this regard.

I don't know if his experience can be made into a TV series.

Lu Yiming retracted his divergent thinking. It was appalling for a man to give birth to a child, not to mention the fact that there were new human beings like Geer. Whenever he was an alien, it was good.

Father Xue and Uncle Xue rented in a small alley not far from the escort agency. They were close and it was convenient for Uncle Xue to take care of them.

This is their first time in this alley. It is better than Mr. Jiang's place. At least the alley is not so dirty and messy. There are still a few children playing outside the courtyard gate, full of life.

It was almost dinner time, and the alley was filled with the strong aroma of vegetables. As they walked through the alley, they could occasionally hear laughter and laughter inside the courtyard wall.

There is some moss growing on the steps outside the wooden door, echoing the mottled door.

After Lu Yiming knocked on the door to identify himself, there was a slight noise behind the door. They waited patiently for a while, and the wooden door slowly opened.

The person who opened the door was Pei Yao, whom they had met once before, and now changed her surname to Xue Yao.

Xue Yao timidly called "Brother", then happily pulled Pei Xing and ran into the courtyard, shouting as he ran: "The third brother is really here!"

At the winter solstice, Lu Yiming had said that he would come to visit on the second day of the new year. , it seems that Father Xue and Uncle Xue have never forgotten, I am afraid that it will make people wait.

But let me tell you something, the little girl's face-changing stunt in the movie is really wonderful. Why didn't I realize that this person had this talent before?

Calculating this is a good thing, at least it means that after the last betrayal incident, her trauma is slowly getting better, at least she does not avoid others, and she still looks lively.

"Axing is here? Ayao, please slow down and be careful of the threshold."

Seeing the young couple entering the door, Xue's father hurriedly poked his head out of the kitchen with a large cooking spoon and saw Xue Yao's face was full of excitement. He looked like a reminder, but his eyes fell on Pei Xing's belly, for fear of falling.

Pei Xing followed Xue's father's gaze downwards. Although he was not pregnant yet, he still couldn't help but blush with embarrassment.

Father Xue greeted Lu Yiming who was lagging behind: "Yiming is here."

Lu Yiming called out to him: "father."

This father's call was natural, and Father Xue responded without showing it, but turning his back. His eyes were slightly red when he was gone. Seeing that Lu Yiming was treating Ah Xing well as always, he could let go of his worries.

Uncle Xue arrived late and knew they were coming. Before they arrived, he took the opportunity to buy some wine outside. When he came back to this stall, he was just in time to eat a steaming meal.

He greeted the two of them, put the rice wine on the table, rubbed his hands, and served it directly.

Lu Yiming put a jar of wine at home into a basket and brought it over, and Pei Xing handed it to Xue's father.

"Dad, this wine was made by my husband. It has a sleep-promoting effect."

Ever since I reconciled with my father, I always had a forced smile when I saw my father. Although I tried my best to hide the black and blue eyes, He could still see clues from it. Dad actually didn't sleep peacefully.

Today is the same, better than at the winter solstice, but I still have some symptoms of insomnia.

The sleep-aiding effect of this wine was discovered by Lu's mother. Lu Yiming asked Xiaomiao to confirm that it did have this effect, but the two of them basically didn't use it. After all, they were always tired and fell asleep, so there was no need to superimpose the effect.

It's just right for Father Xue to use at this moment.

Father Xue took the large jar of wine and said movedly: "You are interested."

He opened the jar in front of the two of them and poured a bowl for Pei Xing and himself with a wine spoon.

Speaking of the wine that helps sleep, he remembered one thing. I wonder if it was his imagination. After eating the grape Yao'er last time, his originally tanned skin became much fairer and smoother.

He thought for a while and asked: "Can Yao'er drink it?"

Pei Xing really didn't know this. He turned his face and looked at Lu Yiming with doubts. The latter answered for him: "Yes, but it's not advisable to drink too much." ."

Xue Yao on the side was eager to try, but Father Xue did not pour wine into her bowl. Instead, he took a wine cup and poured half a glass for her.

Xue Yao has never drunk before. There are many people today, so she can avoid making a fool of herself after drinking too much.

The warm time always passed quickly, and they did not stay long after the meal. Lu Yiming took out the rice cakes and bacon from the basket and handed them to Xue's father, and stood up to say goodbye to them.

The two of them did not go back home, but planned to visit Mr. Jiang's house and Gu Huan's house to pay New Year's greetings.

When they arrived at Mr. Jiang's house, they found a familiar figure standing at the door. He rubbed his hands vigorously to keep warm. It looked like he had been there for a while.

Seeing Lu Yiming and the others, Gu Huan shuddered and greeted them.

"What are you?"

Before getting a reply, the door opened. Jiang Runshan glanced at the trio and let them in.

Gu Huan fell behind and stood side by side with Lu Yiming, thanking him softly: "Brother Lu, thanks to you, otherwise I would probably have been kicked out this year."

Lu Yiming didn't know what the relationship between these two people was, so that they could come to guard the door on the second day of the new year and be willing to stand outside the door for a long time in the cold wind.

He didn't intend to ask any more questions or stay long.

He handed the rice cakes and bacon to Jiang Runshan, pointed to the sky and said: "It looks like it's going to snow, so we won't stay much. We will cook hot pot at home tomorrow. If the weather is good and you two are willing to come, we will treat you warmly."

Speaking of which, it was all thanks to Gu Huan, otherwise he really didn't know that people in the north and south of Dajing did not eat spicy food, and no one in this dynasty used chili peppers to cook dishes.

Now it is easier for him, a foreigner.

The sky was getting dark, and Gu Huan had no time to ask any more questions. He could only watch the couple walking away in a hurry.

Brother Lu has not yet told what this hot pot is.

Could it be that you put fire into the pot and cook it to eat? Is this sure ok?

Gu Huan couldn't imagine it, but he had some expectations.

He underestimates people so much. He is always a foodie no matter what!
