The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

Chapter 226
On the capital side, Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren went to Lingshan Temple to burn incense on the first day of the new year and never went out again.Li Mingren was studying at home to prepare for the exam, while Zhao Yunlan felt cold and was unwilling to go out for a walk.Besides, there is no one in the capital who can walk around.

In the first month, more and more students came to the capital one after another, and many students could not find a place to live, so they could only live in the Datong shop of the inn.

The house next to Li Mingren's lived was also rented out to several students, and everyone lived together.When Zhao Yunlan was wandering in the yard, she could often hear the quarrels next door. The quarrels started with the servants of each family, and then those young masters joined the battle. In short, it was impossible to study quietly.

Not only quarreling, but sometimes people next door gathered to recite poems and fight against each other in the middle of the night. This was what Li Hua heard when he got up at night to watch the night.There is almost no rest time next door.

He Hua and the others sat in the yard choosing vegetables and discussing whether the students next to him could pass the exam. Ye Sheng and He Wen shook their heads, thinking that the neighbor next door didn't seem like they were here to catch the exam, but to have fun.

Zhao Yunlan said: "Don't just look at the appearance, there are some people who are geniuses when it comes to studies, and they are the happiest to watch on weekdays, but when it comes to exams, they are better than anyone else."

Chunxiang nodded noncommittally. Anyway, what Madam said was right.

Li Mingren studies in the backyard on weekdays, and once he is serious, he seems to be in a trance, unable to hear the sounds of the outside world, so he is not disturbed by these sounds. Li Mingren is indeed a hard-working player, and he has been able to pass the exams in the past two years The pass is probably due to the accumulation of knowledge, and Zhao Yunlan and Mrs. Liu are like the keys to unlock knowledge.

February came, and the snow was still deep. On a windy day, the house on Huaiyuan Street welcomed the first guest.

"Ma'am, a master surnamed Liu wants to see our master." Li Hua came to the backyard to report.

"Sister-in-law, thank you very much."

The cost of the capital is high, and brother Ming can understand it now.My family can afford it in Qingshui Town, but not enough in Beijing.So this is not thinking about returning part of the house to save some money!There are two students living in my house now, and I plan to go back to my hometown after another year of study. "

Zhao Yunlan: "Yes, I'll be here in a while. You drink tea first." This Liu Chengmin, Zhao Yunlan has never met in Lijiacun, and Li Mingren has never mentioned it.

"Come on, brother Chengmin, don't be too polite, this is all made at home, it's not worth anything, you can take it back for a tooth sacrifice."

In the next few days, Zhao Yunlan was busy looking for a doctor, preparing clothes for Li Mingren to wear and eat for the exam, and it was the ninth day of the junior high school in a blink of an eye.The sky in the capital was still dark, and there were noises on the street, the sound of cars and horses accompanied by the whirring wind.

Liu Chengmin wanted to say no, so she watched Zhao Yunlan bring out several baskets with two maids behind her.

……

"Okay, it's almost the end of today. I'll go back first. I live in Huaijing Street, in the yard next to the well. If you need anything, you can ask someone to come to me."

Zhao Yunlan smiled politely: "You can't finish it, I'll have someone send it to the house for you."

After the stuff in the stove burned for a while, Li Mingren felt a little warmth. Li Mingren threw ginger slices into the small pot without haste, and then picked up the test papers that were handed out to check.

Li Mingren: "Thanks to your questioning, we were able to meet each other. Why did you quit the rent?"

Zhao Yunlan was puzzled: "Liu's surname, could it be a relative of Mrs. Liu in the capital? Please come in quickly!"

Li Mingren sighed, he didn't expect Liu Chengmin to change so much now, and those ridiculous times before were also thanks to Liu Chengmin's help.

The examination is also held in three sessions, one session on three days, the first session on the ninth day of the lunar month.After Li Mingren found his place, he was fortunate that he was lucky enough to get a good one. There was no smell, and the shed of the dormitory was intact.

Ryu Seung Min looked at the things on the table, smiled and shook his head, '30 years in Hadong, 30 years in Hexi'.

Li Mingren smiled, thinking that this is indeed the truth: "If you don't pay attention to these things if you are rude, then I won't keep you today. After taking me to the exam, we two brothers will have a good drink."

Today is the first day of the examination, and the results will be known in the next nine days whether the candidates from all over the world will jump to the dragon gate or continue to study hard.Zhao Yunlan sent Li Mingren into the examination room early, but got stuck in the road when he came back.It has been snowing these few days, Zhao Yunlan is too cold to let go of the stove.

"Let's have dinner at home tonight, let's have a good chat!" Li Mingren stepped forward and patted Liu Chengmin.

Liu Chengmin cupped his hands and said: "Brother Ming, please forgive me for coming here uninvited. I was going to rent out the house before, and I happened to be from Chen Ya. After chatting back and forth, Chen Ya told me that there are people in Huaiyuan Street. He is a Juren from Qingshui Town, and I only found out that it was Brother Ming after asking too much."

Liu Chengmin waved his hand: "Brother Ming, I also came to identify the door today, and I didn't know that my wife was also without a gift. I can't compare with you. I don't need to refer to it for the time being. You are different now. You are about to take an exam. You can't waste time on reminiscing about the old days. I'll celebrate with you when you win the gold medal list."

Liu Chengmin: "Retirement of the rent was also a matter of last year. I am not afraid of brother Ming's jokes. After I was admitted to the scholar, I stopped here. After discussing with my family and my husband's recommendation, I came to Songshan Academy in the capital city. study.

Outside the tribute courtyard, Zhao Yunlan finally got through the congested street, got off the carriage and walked continuously, and returned to the house in a short while.

"Oh, Cheng Min, why is it you?" Li Mingren was a little surprised.

On Huaiyuan Street, Zhao Yunlan asked about Liu Chengmin's family background. Li Mingren knew what Zhao Yunlan was thinking, so he had to patiently explain that Liu Chengmin and Mrs. Liu had nothing to do with each other.

"Hello, sister-in-law, here is Liu Chengmin. I was a classmate of Brother Ming in Qingshui Town before. If I take the liberty to visit, I wonder if Brother Ming is here?"

Li Mingren: "Wait a minute, your sister-in-law will pack some food for you and go home."

Zhao Yunlan prepared some shredded smoked ducks for Li Mingren this time. He Hua tore them into fine pieces. One was convenient for inspection when entering the examination room, and the other was because it was inconvenient for Li Mingren to do anything in the examination room, so they were all torn into pieces. The shredded pork tastes good without worrying about dirtying the test paper.

When seeing the person coming, Zhao Yunlan was a stranger.

After reading the volume, Li Mingren took a sip of hot ginger soup to warm up before starting to write.

Li Mingren sat down and cleaned the dust briefly, then slowly sat down and lit the small stove.Zhao Yunlan prepared ginger slices for Li Mingren, and told Li Mingren to cook the ginger soup as soon as he arrived at the examination room. Of course, Li Mingren was obedient.

Liu Chengmin didn't speak along the way, probably because he was shocked by Li Mingren's change. When he arrived at his place, He Wen helped deliver the things and left in a hurry.

When it was time for lunch, Li Mingren took out the smoked shredded duck and threw it into the pot with the rice to heat it up, and then he had a simple meal.

Liu Chengmin bowed his hands to salute, Li Mingli sent the person outside the door and the two said goodbye again, He Wen followed Liu Chengmin to Huaijing Street with the food.

In fact, all the examination rooms have been renovated this time, and it was when the crown prince came to inspect the Gongyuan that he found that the wood of many sheds had been broken, so he ordered people to repair them again.

As soon as Zhao Yunlan entered the main courtyard, He Hua brought a bowl of hot soup, which was chicken soup that had been boiled all morning.Zhao Yunlan held the small bowl in both hands, her whole body was warmed by the drink, and she felt drowsy after sitting for a while.

"You guys have dinner first, don't call me, let me sleep for a while, I got up too early today." Zhao Yunlan ordered.

Chunxiang agreed, went to the back room, made the bed, and then retreated.

Zhao Yunlan slept until dinner, thinking that she might not be able to fall asleep at night.But I didn't expect to fall asleep after dinner.
