Chapter 241 Year of the Exam
Slab, log, slab…
Yan Yu held her breath, this was much better than she thought!
It's a... raft like a ship!
Of course, these two door panels cannot be used.
Qi Wu saw the wood and made boards according to the size of the raft.
There are no tools as convenient as modern ones, so Qi Wuquan smashed against the wood with all his strength.
Yan Yu offered a little help unobtrusively.
Several people were busy until the evening, and the remodeled raft finally took shape.
Yan's second child can't wait to try it.
Say it and try it.
Qi Da and Qi Si lifted one side, and four adults and one child walked towards the river.
At this time, many people gathered by the river, those who cast their nets to fish, and those who watched others cast their nets to fish, young and old.
Seeing them coming, they all looked at them strangely.
"Yan Er, what are you doing?" someone shouted and asked.
Yan's second son also shouted back: "It's so conspicuous, can't you see it? Isn't this a raft!"
"Hahaha! I just saw it, so I didn't dare to admit it.
Isn’t there a bridge from our village to Fucheng? It doesn't save a lot of legs. "
"Isn't this thinking of walking from the river to buy grain? If it can be done, walking from the river is better than walking from the ground."
As soon as he said that he was buying food, the big guys gathered around.
"Yan Er, is there anything to say here?" Luo Da asked.
Yan Laoer is willing to tell everyone what it is like outside. Sooner or later they will all have to leave the village. The more they know, the less frightened they will go outside.
"Like when Qi Si and I went back to Longxing, we both carried the official documents given by the master, and we were on a business trip. We met a post station on the way, and there was no money to go in and live there, but if you pour some boiling water and ask you to prepare some rations, what? Do not give people a few copper coins.
Also, if the inspector checks your road citation documents, you will have to add some tea money. "
"What if you don't give it?" Someone asked.
"It's okay if you don't give it. If someone is unhappy, it will be difficult for you.
You should memorize the words on the guide note several times.
If you recite it wrong once, you will be taken away immediately, and you will be locked up first.
When we turn around and look for someone here, they say 'oh', saying it was a misunderstanding, a mistake, you say, what else can we do..."
Yan Laoer said earnestly: "So the old saying is good, poor families have rich roads, and you should spend less on the outside, just give up a few copper coins."
"That said, it's good to walk in the river, and you won't touch anyone."
"Why can't I touch it, there must be someone who sails."
"It's okay, we are all suffering the same haha."
…
After listening to them discussing for a while, Yan Lao Er said: "When we came back, we didn't take the official road. We took a shortcut. The potholes on the road made me stumped. After thinking about it, it's better to walk in the river. You can also pull more."
"That's right..." He slammed his mouth: "We can't afford a boat, so let's make a raft and see if it works. If it works, I'll go and try."
"Yan Er, I will help you." Luo Da was the first to express his opinion.
Others also expressed their willingness to contribute.
Yan Lao Er said that two smaller bamboo beds are needed.
Immediately, someone yelled yes, and ran home to get it...
Several people who lowered their nets to catch fish hastily collected the nets, sent half of the catch to Yan's family, and then folded it back.
Join the ranks of moving wood.
Yan Laoer felt that everyone was so enthusiastic, it would be a pity not to let them do something, and took advantage of the large number of people to build the imagined small ferry first.
…
Strong wooden piles were driven on the edge of the river bank, and they went deep into the water.
"Father, did you hit too many stakes?" Yan Yu couldn't help asking when she saw that the uncle in the village was still pounding the stakes vigorously.
Yan Er Er: "Not only are there too many, but also too deep."
Yan Yu was silent, looked at the piles that were not much higher than the river, and sighed.
"Think of the good, these piles are too strong, if our raft is tied to them, we don't have to worry about being carried by the water."
Yan Er Er: I was not comforted at all.
Qi Wu began to lay boards on it, and several people stood in the water to help him fix it.
Both Yan's second child and Yan Yu couldn't get close.
I can only watch from a distance...
"What do you think of putting cement on it?" Yan's second thought suddenly.
Yan Yu thought seriously, then shook her head: "It's not fast enough."
"By the way, when you were at Qi's house, why did you drag me?" Yan Er Er asked.
"In addition to the raw lacquer and black lacquer mentioned by Uncle Qi, there are also red lacquer, green lacquer, and yellow lacquer..." Yan Yu recalled: "But these colored lacquers are not available to us. There are a lot of things mentioned here."
Yan Lao Er rejoiced: "Fortunately, you came with me, otherwise I would foolishly say to buy a red paint brush, and it would be broken."
He couldn't help but said again: "But how beautiful the red gate is, Xixing is still conspicuous, it's just a color, what do you think they pay attention to."
Yan Yu: "Father, don't worry, we can still look forward to it. The red gate is the rich family. Princes, nobles and officials must be officials of sufficient grade. The gates of the house are all painted in this color. Old Yan didn't questionable."
Yan Lao Er laughed when he heard this.
"That's okay, let's wait a little longer. We don't have to be late for a good meal. Sooner or later, the door of our house can change color."
"By the way, Dad, have you inquired about the exam?"
Yan Laoer said sadly and angrily: "Why didn't you ask, next year, it can be called the year of the exam, the exam will be taken at the beginning of the year, and the exam will continue!
The county exam is in February, the government exam is in April...the township exam is in August. "
Yan Lao Er couldn't describe it in a single word.
If Lao Yan wants to take the Juren examination, he will have to wait until next August.
Before that, the county test came first.
His eldest nephew, and poor him, will be sent to the examination room after the Chinese New Year.
The eldest nephew is willing, but he is not willing!
Yan Yu: …
In addition to sympathy, or sympathy.
"But it's a coincidence that the autumn period ends in August, and the next February will be followed by the spring period. Don't you think it's interesting? If you have that kind of academic master, you can pass the exam all the way. Last year, you were still a commoner. Turn Became a Jinshi or something in a year, waiting to be assigned as an official, tsk tsk, this span is too big."
In fact, he still has a little hope in his heart.
Yan Yu looked at him with admiration: "Father, you have really asked a lot!"
"Do you think your uncle has a chance?" Yan Laoer asked his daughter in a low voice, full of expectation.
Yan Yu had an inscrutable expression on his face, stroking his non-existent beard with his small hand, pretending to be old, and drawing a long voice: "The chance is great!"
Grandpa, you look at me, I look at you, hahaha can't stop laughing.
Li Xuemei saw the father and daughter talking together from a long distance.
Seeing that they were smiling, they subconsciously looked around.
Fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on the small ferry that was about to be completed by the river, and the sky was dark, so no one noticed this side.
"It's getting dark, why did you come out?" Yan Er Er saw her and ran over quickly.
Li Xuemei: "Nurse Rong has already prepared the meals. Why don't you come back, so I'll just stroll over to see when you will be well."
This is the second update from yesterday~
The house is chopping hands again, I feel so happy when chopping (ˇˇ)
At the moment of payment, I didn’t feel that I was spending money, but felt that I was earning money. You said it’s amazing or not~
After paying all kinds of excitement, I kept swiping the page, wondering when it will be delivered~
I can't calm down for a long time...
This emotion is really not suitable for code words, and I really can’t continue writing. I didn’t go until the morning when I got the energy.
Fortunately, I was early yesterday~
Otherwise, I’m afraid it will be broken, quack quack~
PS: Get a guaranteed monthly pass, and sponsor a house that you can buy~
My wallet has shrunk, and I urgently need a monthly ticket to fill ()^
