Imperial Exam Daily

The Hairpin Banquet was held smoothly but tediously. It took more than two hours to go back and forth. When the banquet was over, the scholars still had something to say, and Yang Ye wanted to leave a long time ago.

Back at Fuxizhai, there are only the eldest brother and his wife in the shop today. Xu Qiuhe has a child now. Although the month is still young, it is the first time for the two couples to have a child. They are very careful. The conditions of the Xing family are not bad. Xing Huai asked Xu Qiuhe to go back to raise the baby.

Today Axi took Xiaoxiang to Xu Qiuhe's place, but did not come to the shop.

Yang Ye wanted to invite Huang Jin, Pang Zhanzhong and other people from the county town to dinner at night. Now that the village is moving around, people in the county town have to move around too. If he won a scholar and had a banquet in the village, he must invite people from the county town, no Fortunately, he can only go to Fengxianglou to book a banquet by himself.

Yang Cheng asked a few words about the hairpin banquet and said afterwards: "It's not too early now, you still have some pastries left over, you can take them there, your sister-in-law and I should close up earlier, after dinner, it will be dark, you There's no need to hurry back, I'll stay in the shop tonight, and I'll talk to Axi when I pick up Xiaoxiang."

"That's fine. Brother, remember to ask Axi to close the doors and windows."

After explaining, Yang Ye took the cakes and went to Fengxianglou first.

After a dinner, it took more than an hour, and the food didn't move twice, and the wine filled the stomach to the full.

There was nothing to do at night, and there was no other entertainment after eating and drinking, so everyone drank some more when they were happy, and Huang Jin helped him out when he went out of the private room.

Yang Ye, Yang Cheng, and Xing Huai are used to drinking. The countrymen drink violently, unlike the gentlemen in the county who come to drink cups. People just go straight to the bowl. They drink a few more times and get drunk twice. , It is also difficult for him not to drink.Although there were several rounds of wine toasts at the dinner party, it didn't really affect much.

He pretended to be drunk, but nothing happened when he left Fengxiang Tower.

When he returned to the shop, it was already dark, and it was pitch black everywhere. He was used to the warm light and hot water waiting for his home, and suddenly he became like this. His heart was as empty as a deserted street.

In the past, I only thought that Ah Xi was very good and important to him, but now I know how important he is to me.

After tossing and washing, he opened all the presents he received today. The folks in the village sent some eggs, melons, fruits and vegetables, and the things he had at home were all good cloth from the county town. , Accessories, home decorations and so on, they are all very generous. The things sent by the folks are incomparable, but each has its own kindness, and he thinks they are all good.

He picked out two bolts of cloth and kept them for himself, preparing to make a suit of clothes for himself and Axi, and give the rest to Yang Cheng and his wife. Now that they are doing business in the county, Fuxizhai can be regarded as high-end. The pastry shop, the boss can't be shabby, although I think it's nothing, there are more powerful people in the county.

After tidying up the gifts, he didn't plan to read books today. Although it was still early, he was really tired after a day of socializing. He had just laid down on the bed when there was a muffled thunder outside the room. The sound was not loud, but he still sat up.

Ah Xi is a little afraid of thunder. There are many thunderstorms in summer, and no matter how hot the weather is, I have to hug him. Isn't it very scary to be alone at home now?

He got up and pushed open the window. It was dark and peaceful outside the house, as if there had been no thunder at all. After all, he was still worried, so he simply cleaned up and walked to the stable in the county. The ox cart must be gone, good luck Should be able to hire a carriage.

After all, it was dark at this point, and many carriage drivers refused to do it. After asking several times, no one responded. Finally, an old master heard that he was from Zaocun. The price is doubled in the day before leaving.

Yang Ye readily paid the money and climbed into the carriage.

During the day, the horse-drawn carts are all outside the city gate like the ox carts, and they go back to the stables when it gets dark.

I have to run for a while to get out of the city.

Yang Ye sat in the carriage, it cost more money, and the cushion was softer, more stable than the bullock cart, and it could also shelter from the wind and rain. It was comfortable after all, but there were too many people doing it, and it smelled bad to be covered in it.

He rolled up the curtains of the car to breathe, a gust of cool wind poured in, and a lantern was shining in front of him.

"That's a casino."

He mentioned a word, the carriage master drove the horse and said: "Yes, this is the most lively and bright hall at night."

As soon as the words fell, a young man in a hurry came out of the gambling house: "Hey! That carriage driver, come and see me for a while."

The coachman yelled: "Unfortunately, my son, I have a guest here!"

"I'll pay three times the price, and send it to me."

The coachman waved his hand, and before he could open his mouth, three strong men came out of the casino: "Qian Yu, Mr. Qian, you're walking so fast today, but our casino didn't entertain you well?"

The young man named Qian Yu swept his sleeves: "Isn't it just that I lost some money? I didn't bring so much when I went out today. Put it on the account first."

"Okay, as long as you say this, it will be enough, but there are already a lot of accounts on the account. If Mr. Qian just can't remember it, then our gambling shop will have to go to your shop. Gambling shops also operate on a small budget.”

The young man said angrily: "I will pay back what I said I would pay back. Don't keep talking about these things."

"Success, Mr. Qian doesn't make things difficult for us, we will naturally listen to you."

Taking advantage of the time when several people were talking, Yang Ye urged the carriage master in a low voice.

The horseshoes trampled past and quickly ran out of the city.

"Master, do you know the man from the gambling house?"

"I know it. It seems to be the son of some shop. I sometimes run around at night, and once I pulled him over. This son is very busy, and I can often see him in this section."

The coachman said, "Although this young man loves to gamble, he is still an infatuated kind. When I dragged him, he was drunk, crying and saying that he was not allowed to marry at home." The girl I like, the girl is married to someone else, just call."

Yang Ye always felt that Qian Yu seemed to have seen it somewhere before, but unfortunately the image was not deep enough, Fu Xizhai had guests coming and going every day, maybe Qian Yu was one of them.

I wanted to ask Master Che, but he didn't mention the main points, but he wentssip.

The carriage ran in the night with the sound of hoofbeats, heading towards Zaocun.

The sound of thunder became thicker as the night deepened, and a flash of lightning flashed across, followed by heavy thunder.

Ah Xi hadn't fallen asleep yet, when he heard a sudden loud sound, his shoulders shrank reflexively with the sound of thunder.

He put down the sewing work at hand, lost his mind for a moment, he was the only one at home today, he was a little scared and worried whether Yang Ye had returned home when it was going to rain.

When he came back to his senses, he sighed slightly, wound the end of the thread around the tail of the needle twice, tied a tight knot, and cut off the thread.

He shook off the finished product that he had been sewing for two days, and looked at the light. The short fabric was smooth and smooth, and its bright red color made his face red.

There were two happy mandarin ducks embroidered on the red bellyband, they were so vivid, I don't know if Yang Ye would like it, he pursed his lips, his face turned even redder.

Left and right Yang Ye was not at home, he went to see if the doors and windows were closed tightly, then went back to the house and sat by the bed to untie his belt and take off his clothes one by one.

The cold apron was attached to his body, and he gasped, and tied the belt around his waist with his hands behind his back. The size was just right, but he didn't know how the effect would be on the upper body. If there was water in the room, it could still be photographed.

After all, he wanted to see the effect, so he went to the kitchen to fetch a large basin of water into the house, took off his shoes and socks, and planned to wash his feet after he had seen enough.

He walked around the room with bare feet, although his face was very hot, he encouraged himself and said that he would feel embarrassed now, how could he show it to Yang Ye.

Just as he breathed out and moved towards the water basin, a series of untimely knocks on the door made him shiver again. He thought he had heard it wrong, but the knock on the door rang again.

Followed by a familiar voice: "Axi, are you asleep? I'm back."

"Back, back?" Ah Xi foolishly repeated a sentence, and then panicked, at a loss, hurriedly grabbed the rope of his bellyband, and wanted to change his clothes. Unexpectedly, in a panic, he kicked the basin over , and the rope was pulled into a dead knot.

Yang Ye was standing outside the door, blowing the cold wind, and heard a muffled sound in the room, and Axi didn't answer his words, so he knocked on the door anxiously and shouted: "Axi! Are you there? What happened?"

Ah Xi untied the rope with his hands behind his back, the more flustered he became, the corners of his eyes were reddening: "No, it's okay, I'll open, open the door for you."

Yang Ye trembled and choked when he heard the voice, and immediately kicked the door. The latch was loose. I froze in place.

The water in the room was flowing everywhere, and the boy standing in the water was wearing extremely thin clothes, with red clothes lined with white muscles, and a slender and white neck...

It is obvious that the alcohol has passed for a long time, why is it so hot now!

The sound of the door falling to the ground had already startled Ah Xi into a daze. Now that Yang Ye rushed in, he had given up pulling on the straps and wanted to climb onto the bed and cover himself with a quilt, but his feet were dirty.

Difficult for a while, he simply raised his hands to cover his face.

"You, you are..." Yang Ye spoke a few times, and was afraid of talking about Axi, so he hesitated a few times before saying, "Did you make new clothes?"

"Don't, don't look!"

As the wind blew into the room, Ah Xilen's goosebumps started to rise. Yang Ye wanted to take a closer look, but he was still afraid that the child would be cold.

He picked up the quilt on the bed, lifted it and wrapped Axi inside, carried him to the bed and sat down.

Ah Xi stuck his head under the quilt, not daring to look directly at Yang Ye's face.

"You, why did you come back suddenly?"

Yang Ye turned his head and glanced at the broken door, remembering the night of war and chaos, he smiled helplessly: "I was worried that the kid would be scared if he was alone at home, so he hurried back. I didn't expect the kid to be happy playing at home."
