Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 312 Before leaving (3)
However, this little guy is still very emotional, although he only spent two days with his two little cousins, he has already shown a very deep expression.

When the four Lin Xiaoqiao brothers and sisters went back, the little guy was holding on to the two sisters in a daze, especially when he saw them getting into the carriage, he cried so loudly that he almost threw The tears of the young ladies were also drawn down.

It made Mrs. Sun cluck her tongue non-stop: "Tsk tsk tsk——. This little thing is really real, and he can't even speak well, so he knows that he can't bear to part with his cousin, and he is really going to become a genius."

In fact, Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Li also discovered this time that their eldest grandson's brain is bright. While the old couple were secretly happy, they couldn't help but make up their minds to train this grandson to be a talent. Pointing at him, come to glorify the lintel of their Li family.

On the eighth day of the lunar new year, Lin’s Bamboo Tube Rice shop opened to welcome customers, so Lin Xiaoqiao went to the shop to have a look, everything was still the same, little changed, except that Shunzi recruited two new ones to the shop last year. boy.

Shunzi also asked her about this matter before, but Lin Xiaoqiao had never met those two newly recruited buddies, so he didn't know what kind of people they were.

After watching it this time, I think it's okay. Although it's not as smart as Shunzi and Manzi, they should be honest children. Lin Xiaoqiao thinks that a buddy who is smart or not can be trained slowly. , However, if the nature is not honest enough, it cannot be reversed.

For a long time, Lin Xiaoqiao has always adhered to a principle, that is, he must employ people who are honest and honest. Honest people are generally people who keep their duties. Although such people cannot be used to the fullest at the beginning , but it won't cause any trouble for her.

After seeing the character of the two newly recruited boys, and seeing how the shop is being run by them, everything is in order. Lin Xiaoqiao is also very impressed with Shunzi and Manzi, the two talents she has cultivated by herself. It is quite satisfactory.

At the same time, Lin Xiaoqiao also made a decision. This year, the two of them will not be needed, and they will stay in the town. One of them can be transferred to the provincial capital.

Lin Xiaoqiao informed them of this decision, and asked the two of them to discuss and decide who would be transferred to the provincial capital. In the end, after the two discussed, they decided that Shunzi should go to the provincial capital.

Lin Xiaoqiao also guessed this result early in the morning. Although the two of them are quite outstanding, but comparing the two of them, Shunzi's temperament is more open-minded than Manzi, and there is a part of him who is not afraid of tigers when he is a newborn calf. energy.

As for Manzi's temperament, to put it nicely, he tends to be more prudent, but to put it badly, he just seems a bit old-fashioned and can't let go.

However, since the two of them discussed and decided on their own, Lin Xiaoqiao would not have any objections, so on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, she asked Shunzi to pack her luggage, and went to the provincial capital with Butler Ping and his wife.

As for herself, because the fetus in Li's belly has not passed three months, the doctor told her that it is best not to travel long distances, so Lin Xiaoqiao stayed in the town, and it is important to accompany her mother to give birth first. Shunzi will take care of everything.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, the four brothers and sisters Lin Xiaoqiao and Chen Xuewen took Lu Haojie for a stroll around the town. A few young people went bustling around the lanterns, eating the Lantern Festival, and had a great time. I'm sorry.

There are many lanterns of different shapes hanging everywhere in the streets and alleys, as bright as day, and there are stalls making clay figurines on the road, and Lin Xiaoqiao even took a few of them to let the craftsmen who made the clay figurines shine on them. The appearance of the six people was made out of six clay figurines, which was regarded as a souvenir for the six of them to play together during the Lantern Festival.

Erlang thought this was very interesting, so he suggested that the craftsman who made the clay figurines make a set of six clay figurines for each of them, so that everyone can keep a set for their own collection, which is a real souvenir.

Everyone felt that this suggestion was good, so the craftsman who made the clay figurines continued to do business with the six of them for half the night, and made six sets of clay figurines.

After returning, the six of them each found a small box and kept their own set of clay figurines well. Years later, they could still look at the box and recall the friendship of the six of them playing together.

As soon as the Lantern Festival was over, Dalang and Erlang went back to the provincial capital, and the two of them still had to continue their studies. Before the two brothers left, they did not forget to cheer for Chen Xuewen and Lu Haojie, the two seniors. I wish them all the best on their journey to Beijing this time, and all the best, and most importantly, their titles on the gold list.

The general examination is usually held in March, so not long after Dalang Erlang left, Chen Xuewen and Lu Haojie also left for Beijing.

I heard that the journey from Anping Town to the capital is very long, not only by land, but also by water and by boat in some places. It seems that it will take half a month to go all the way smoothly.

Not to mention that if the weather is windy and rainy, the trip will definitely be delayed, so the two of them must set off early.

After discussing with each other, the two decided to leave after the twentieth of the first lunar month. When Mrs. Li got the news, she was a little surprised, and persuaded, "Didn't you say that the exam will take place in March? Why do you want to go so early? When you arrive in the capital If you are not familiar with the place, it is better to stay at home and read a book, and someone will take care of you when you eat every day."

After hearing this, Chen Xuewen explained with a smile: "Auntie, we also need to get familiar with the surrounding environment when we go to the capital. From the general examination to the palace examination to the unveiling of the list, we have to wait for a period of time, so we have to first Find a place to live. Because at this time, there are a lot of students going to the capital to take the exam. If we don't go early, even the inn will be fully booked! Moreover, when we arrive in the capital, we have to visit a few bachelors, In this way, the time is not too loose!"

Mrs. Li listened to his explanation, although she still didn't understand it very well, she nodded and said with a smile: "Well, you can discuss it yourself. Since we are leaving so soon, I won't delay you to clean up. gone."

So, after the two of them confirmed their departure schedule, Mrs. Li and Widow Zheng also started to get busy, personally taking care of the dry food they would bring along the way.

As for Lin Xiaoqiao, after thinking about it, he always felt that it was not safe for the two weak scholars to go through the journey of more than half a month. If they ran into a bandit or something, they had little ability to resist. None.

So, after much deliberation, she decided to take some measures to ensure the safety of the two of them along the way.

In the end, Lin Xiaoqiao went to the "Weiyuan Escort Bureau" in the town, picked eight of the best bodyguards from there, and brought them back, ready to let them escort Chen Xuewen and Lu Haojie to the capital.
