The peasant boy of crossing

When it was time for two incense sticks, the maids came to take the paintings away, and immediately a servant carried the drawing board into the flower hall.

The maids pinned a piece of paper to the drawing board. Zhao Yuanwei got up and looked at the paintings made by everyone.

After a while, he motioned to everyone present to take a look at each other's paintings.

Li Xinyi followed and was behind Liu Yao.

The first painting was made by Wei Shao. It looks sophisticated and mature.The general of the Yuan Dynasty in the painting frowned slightly, showing no anger and prestige. Jianfeng pointed out that he was invincible.

The second painting is Zhu Long's work. His painting has a delicateness that does not match his person. Li Xinyi can even see the expressions on the faces of the soldiers on the battlefield.

The third one was painted by Zhao Can. It shows the triumphant return of a general of the Yuan Dynasty.It is conceivable what kind of victory the generals of the Yuan Dynasty fought.

Because there were people crowding at the back, Li Xinyi only glanced at the few paintings in the middle. The generals of the Yuan Dynasty in each painting looked different, some with long beards and some with fleshy faces.

He breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the Yuan Dynasty general did not leave his portrait.

When her eyes touched Hua Chexue's painting, Li Xinyi paused slightly.

The two paintings are her works, the first one is the heroic posture of the Yuan Dynasty general in close combat, and the second one is the fight on the battlefield, but the viewer can still see the general of the Yuan Dynasty at a glance figure.

Li Xinyi admires her hand speed, she is the only one who can draw two paintings within two sticks of incense.

The next one is her sister Hua Yingxue's painting, but Liu Yao burst out laughing.

He whispered in a low voice: "This person is probably used to painting beauties, and can't hold the pen for a while."

Li Xinyi looked over, but saw that the painting did not look like a general who had fought all the year round, but looked like a soldier who had just entered the battlefield.

The overly rounded lines on his face and the ratio of head to body made him look like a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old.

And the boy shot down the enemy's coach with an arrow.

It's a bit absurd, like the exaggerated style on the theater stage.

Li Xinyi still wanted to see Liu Yao's painting of Yuan Dynasty generals, but Liu Yao had already dragged him back to his seat.

After watching the painting, the maids brought out the wine cups and dishes that had been prepared earlier.

Zhao Yuanwei poured wine for himself, raised his glass and said, "Thank you all for coming from afar, I would like to toast you."

Immediately, someone said: "Master Zhao is polite, it is our honor to be invited by him."

After drinking, the atmosphere became active immediately.

Zhao Yuanwei drank two more glasses of wine and left the table.

Li Xinyi couldn't even mention to him that she wanted to change her residence.

Fortunately, Steward Zhao hadn't left before Li Xinyi mentioned this matter to him.

Butler Zhao said that he would mention it to Mr. Zhao, so that Li Xinyi could stay in the other courtyard and wait for the letter.

In the blink of an eye, it was three days. Counting the days, Wu Su and the others should have returned to Jingning.

In half a year, Li Xinyi needs to go through September, October, winter month, twelfth month and first month to see the end of February.

Both looking forward to and anxious.

When Wu Su returned to Wutong Township, everyone in the village knew that Wu Su had returned from participating in Qiu Wei, and they all asked him how he did in the exam.

It's not yet time to release the rankings, so Wu Su can only reply: "It feels good."

The villagers got their own satisfactory answers, and they also praised him by the way, as if they were very sure that Wu Su would be on the list.

Wu Su thanked the villagers one by one, and then walked home.

The family members were very enthusiastic about Wu Su's return, especially Mrs. Wu.

Immediately, it is required that a few more meat dishes that Wu Su likes to eat must be prepared in the kitchen today.

At dinner time, I have to keep adding vegetables to my grandchildren.

Said that he lost a lot of weight, and watched Wu Su eat two bowls of rice before giving up.

Mrs. Wu said: "It is enough to eat [-]% full for dinner, and it is not suitable for health preservation if you are too full."

Wu Su said obediently: "I listen to grandma."

After all the dishes and chopsticks were removed, Father Wu finally showed his cold face just right.

"The rankings haven't been released yet, and you haven't participated in the Lu Ming Banquet, why did you come back?"

As soon as these words came out, the air quickly cooled down.

The old lady Wu realized it and said: "That's right, the list will be released soon, if you miss the Luming Banquet, you will leave a bad impression on the officer. What's the matter with you, come back in such a hurry? "

Father Wu said: "I don't care what you have to do, you have to go back before the rankings are released. It will be September in two days, so don't take a carriage, just ride a horse and go back tomorrow morning."

Wu's mother said: "I have to quickly order the kitchen to make some dry food. It's getting cold, so I'll pick out some thick clothes for you."

Mother Wu went to prepare while she said that. Mrs. Wu said to Father Wu: "You are still smart. I am old and don't remember anything."

Father Wu said: "Mother is growing old and strong."

The juniors in the family all went back to bed under the advice of the elders, leaving only Mrs. Wu, Father Wu and Uncle Wu.

Wu Su said: "I came back this time to discuss something with my grandmother and my father."

Father Wu said in a deep voice, "What is it that made you rush back so much?"

Wu Su said: "If I can pass the Xiaolian exam, I want to find a job."

Old lady Wu said: "Su'er, what do you mean?"

Wu Su said: "I just think that what is achieved on paper is shallow in the end, and the journey to Jinshi is difficult after all. It's better to take advantage of the prime of life and do more practical things, so as to show filial piety in front of grandma."

Father Wu snorted coldly and said, "Let's talk about it when you really win the exam. Right now, I'm thinking too much. Go back and rest. I'll go back before dawn tomorrow morning."

Wu Su responded: "All listen to father."

When Uncle Wu passed by Wu Su, he whispered, "Uncle Wu supports you."

Wu Su slightly bent his mouth.

Many people in the Wu family were awake that night, and the kitchen lights were on until midnight.

Before dawn, accompanied by Uncle Zheng, Wu Su set off.

Wu's mother was worried because she couldn't ask Wu Su to bring a few more cotton-padded clothes.

Father Wu said: "Only two pieces of clothes, if he has money, can't he go to a tailor shop to buy them?"

Mother Wu glared at him, held up a corner of the clothes and said, "Look at the stitching, can it be compared with the clothes in the tailor shop?"

After that, he turned his head and went back to the house.

Wu Su intends to go to Shawan Town to meet Lin Yujin and Jiao Ruoliu before departure.

Lin Jiao and Lin Jiao were neighbors and happened to be on the way, but when he went, the door was closed.

A neighbor passed by carrying a hoe. When Wu Su asked about it, the neighbor was surprised and said, "They went for the exam, and I never saw them come back."

The author has something to say: I lost half a chapter of the manuscript, and I still hold Mrs. Tang and don't want to let go... Tomorrow will continue.
