Across the Market

Chapter 80

"It's called Lie Yan." Shen Yulou said, "Lie Yan is indeed hot-tempered, but a spiritual horse will recognize people. However, you and I came together, so it naturally knows that we have a close relationship, so even if you ride It, it won't hurt you. It was so abnormal just now, it was taken medicine, but it still kept a little sense, otherwise..." He turned around, raised his hand and squeezed Zhu Fu's thin arm, saying, "Otherwise you are now either missing an arm or a leg."

Zhu Fu was so frightened that the chicken legs fell off, he quickly stood up and ran to Lie Yan, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Lie Yan, thank you for not breaking my leg."

Lie Yan snorted, as if blaming its master for laughing at it, it only turned its face away, then flicked its tail and rubbed against Zhu Fu's face.

"It really likes you." Shen Yulou beckoned Zhu Fu to sit beside him, and then said, "Ah Fu, it recognizes you."

Zhu Fu made another grimace at Lie Yan, before asking Shen Yulou: "Brother Yulou, how did you get Lie Yan? A horse with spirituality and personality like this, since Ken willingly recognizes you as his master, I'm afraid Have you experienced a story?"

She remembered that when watching TV, there would always be a touching story about a spiritual horse on TV, and Shen Yulou who got Lie Yan should be no exception.

Shen Yulou just smiled: "When I was studying in Jinling Academy, once in a riding and archery class, the teacher who taught riding and archery brought this horse and said that if anyone could tame it, this horse would be given to me. Who. In fact, every student in our riding and archery class has his own horse, but I don’t have one, so I desperately wanted it at that time. Lie Yan has a strong temper, and many classmates fell down. In the end, no one dared to try again, only me If you don't give up, Lie Yan will follow me."

"Oh...so that's the case." Zhu Fu glanced at Shen Yulou quietly. The man's fair face reflected the fiery red light, making his face even more handsome. He lowered his eyes slightly, pursed his thin lips slightly, and He bowed his head to roast another pheasant, and was very serious about his work.

Holding his chin, Zhu Fu pushed the fire with a branch and said, "When we get back, I'll cook roast chicken for you. You are lucky, you can eat the chicken I roasted myself." She laughed and said, " You saved me, and I'll repay you by cooking for you."

Shen Yulou glanced at her and said, "Is it evened?"

Zhu Fu was surprised: "Could it be that you still think that I really want to repay my life-saving grace?"

Shen Yulou said: "Of course..."

Zhu Fu glanced at him, rolling his eyeballs back and forth, thinking in his heart, and then asked weakly: "Brother Yulou...I'm not good at brain, I'm afraid I don't remember the past things clearly, I think Let me ask you...you and me...was there...something between us before?"

"You even forgot this." Shen Yulou looked at Zhu Fu, sighed softly, then shook his head and smiled, "Forget it, but..." He looked at Zhu Fu with a serious smile on his face A little bit more, "Ah Fu, are you really going to show your face like this?"

Zhu Fu knew what he was talking about, Yuzhu said a lot of his domineering words in front of her, she curled her lips and said: "Of course! The boss gave me five taels a month, and I have to rely on this money to support myself. "

"If I could give you five taels a month, wouldn't you stop being a cook?" Shen Yulou looked at Zhu Fu seriously.

Zhu Fu shook his head vigorously: "No! Why did you give me money for no reason? Besides, where did you get the money? Besides, I feel very proud of the wealth I have obtained through my own hands. I don't want to be a flower in a greenhouse. It’s useless.” She suddenly stood up and shouted to the vast night sky, “I want to create a lot of wealth with my own hands, I want to make a lot of money!”

Following Zhu Fu's roar, two wolves howled in the distance, and Zhu Fu was so frightened that he quickly squatted down again.

Shen Yulou squinted at her, pursed her thin lips tightly, and said nothing.

After coming here for a long time, Shen Yulou said again: "In August next year, I will go to the provincial capital to participate in the township examination. If your brother also goes, do you think uncle and aunt will object?"

Zhu Fu said: "You want my elder brother to accompany you? My parents are easy-going and honest people, they won't object."

Shen Yulou glanced at Zhu Fu, shook his head and said: "Next year is not only the provincial examination every three years, but also the martial arts examination every five years. Your brother has been a good material for practicing martial arts since he was a child. His studies are a bit poor, but he may be able to get a ranking in the martial arts examination. If he wins the ranking, he can be an official in the future, and he and I can support each other in the court in the future."

"Martial arts exam? The champion of martial arts?" Zhu Fu was full of interest.

Shen Yulou said: "The ranking of the martial arts examination is similar to the imperial examination. If I am not wrong, in the spring of next year, our Songyang County will hold a martial arts competition first. First, each county will send a few places to the provincial capital, and then the martial arts examinations will be held in various places. The students gather in the provincial capital and take another exam. Those who win the ranking will enter the capital. After arriving in the capital, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War will first conduct the assessment together, and finally the palace examination. The palace examination is watched by the emperor himself, and finally hand-picked The top three are No. [-], No. [-], No. [-]..."

Zhu Fu also thought of his brother Zhu Lu's appearance, he was honest and honest, but because he had been forging iron all year round, he had indeed cultivated a good skill.

"My parents should also follow my brother's own wishes. If my brother also has this idea, my parents will not object. As for the money needed..." Zhu Fu stretched out his hand and patted his small chest. It's on me. As long as my brother wants, I will offer him up."

Shen Yulou roasted another chicken, handed it to Zhu Fu and said, "It's not tasty, but if you don't want to freeze to death, you can eat all of it."

Zhu Fu took it with a smile, lowered her head and gnawed fiercely, she didn't want to freeze to death, she still had a lot of things to do, she wanted to live well.

Early the next morning, Zhu Fu woke up in a warm embrace. Although she spent the night on the mountain, she slept soundly.

Shen Yulou didn't close his eyes all night, and kept burning the fire in front of the two people. Seeing that the person who was sleeping peacefully in his arms suddenly opened his eyes, he said with a smile: "Since you are awake, get up, my God." It's already light, and we're going to find our way down the mountain."

Zhu Fu's face turned red suddenly, he crawled out of Shen Yulou's arms, and then looked around.
