The daily life of a talented young husband who travels through a book and suffers from cruelty

Chapter 187 The Candidates (Part )

[September th, Southeast Province, the provincial capital, in front of the Chief Envoy]

Jie Yan led a group of people to guard in the dark at the gate of the chief envoy early on, waiting for the results of the township examination.

Before dawn in the morning, the gate of the chief envoy was crowded with people, and when it was dawn when the list was posted, the crowd was even more crowded.

But Jie Yan seemed to have a special aura. As soon as he stood in the crowd, the people next to him turned sideways to give way, feeling like they couldn't avoid it.

The other younger brothers don't have this kind of ability. Like other common people, they can't get to the front, so they can only wait in place.

Xie Yan came to the list and took a look. There were a total of 53 candidates in this year's provincial examination, and five of them were surnamed Pei!

He memorized the rank and name, turned around and walked back to join his subordinates, took them to a secluded place, and began to arrange.

"How many of you have seen the prince's face?" Xie Yan asked the assassins.

As a result, among the twenty assassins, only the one standing in front raised his hand.

The man who raised his hand came up to Jie Yan cautiously, and reported to him: "Boss, I was the only one who acted as a guard once, and I was lucky to be with you in the team when the prince was out. I met the prince once, and the others entered the palace I don’t even have the chance to meet the prince, let alone meet the prince. The prince has a very good memory, even if he can enter the palace, he can recognize people who don’t know what to do, so I’m the only one who has seen it now..."

Jie Yan frowned, things were going to be difficult.

"Xie Yuan's surname is Pei. There is one surnamed Pei in Jingkui, and there are three other people surnamed Pei. I will go to Jie Yuan's family to announce the good news. You can choose one of the remaining four people and have a look. Luck. Remember, if you don’t look similar to the prince, you can’t do it casually, so as not to startle the snake, and the person who won the exam is already an official, so you can’t do it casually. There are garrisons left by Gaomeng in the provincial capital, and there are also his garrisons in Anzhou Bing, be careful, don't blame me for ruthlessly abandoning my son if I make a wrong move or do something wrong."

"Little understands."

Li Xiaodao thought that his home was quite close to the government office, if he won the prize, there should be news at noon at the latest.

Li Xiaodao almost ran out dozens of times throughout the morning, stretching his neck to see if anyone was coming from the left and right alleys.

After daybreak, my brother and sister-in-law also came to the house to wait for the good news. Even Wang’s cook, Xiao Xizi, Xiaodouzi, and several other staff from my brother’s house came. Li Xiaodao greeted everyone with nut snacks and made tea again. , the small yard of the two of them became crowded and lively for a while.

"Sister, brother-in-law, your sister-in-law said that if my brother-in-law wins the exam, she promises to go back with you! Brother-in-law, you have to work hard! I'm counting on you!" Li Xiaoxin said to Pei Zhiqi and Li while eating watermelon seeds. Xiaodao said.

Mrs. Qi gently pinched the man, and said angrily, "What are you talking about!"

Li Xiaoxin was very puzzled and asked: "Eh? Ma'am? Are you trying to deny it? You told me well in the room last night... Ouch!" As he spoke, he was pinched again by his wife.

This scene amused everyone in the room, Li Xiaodao didn't know what to say, so he could only look at Xianggong with an awkward smile, but Xianggong still had a calm expression, only smiling, without saying a word.

At this time, Mrs. Wang said: "My lady, it's not that my wife is talking too much. As the saying goes, an ugly daughter-in-law must see her parents-in-law, right? You have been with the owner for many years, so you should go back and offer some tea to the old lady. Fame! Because of this matter, you and your own parents are in a stalemate, this knot will have to be untied sooner or later, right?"

Li Xiaoxin went on to say: "That's right! Madame, come back with me, and the family will make up for you the courtesy of three matchmakers and six engagements, so that your parents don't be angry, and everyone is happy, okay?"

The conversation made Qi's face turn red: "I'm here today to wait for the good news from my brother-in-law, a scholar, why is it talking about me again!"

Everyone in the main room roared with laughter again.

"Speaking of the good news, it's almost noon, why don't you come?" Li Xiaoxin wondered.

"I'll go to the kitchen to put the dishes on the table first, and clean up the bowls, chopsticks and wine cups. You guys are chatting here." After saying that, Chef Wang left the main room.

Li Xiaodao didn't know that there would be guests coming when he was waiting for the list in the ancient times. He wanted to celebrate with his husband and wife. He was busy making five dishes and one soup all morning, but in the middle of the morning, some people from his brother's side brought over ten dishes and two dishes. Soup, and two bottles of wine, a dozen small wine cups, dishes and bowls filled the entire kitchen.

My brother also asked someone to set up a big table in the yard, and when it was noon, the dishes would be laid out, and we would have a good meal today.

Li Xiaodao also wanted to go to help with Cook Wang, but was stopped by Cook Wang: "Today is a big day for Mr. Xiucai. You greet everyone in the main room, and I will go."

Li Xiaodao had no choice but to go back to the main room, and was about to refill tea for everyone, when he found that his husband was already refilling with a teapot.

Seeing Li Xiaodao returned to the main room, Xiao Xizi smiled at her and said, "Miss Li, the master said that if Pei Xiucai wins the examination, I must go back and report to him as soon as possible. Red envelope!"

Li Xiaodao also smiled and replied: "Thank you, Boss Wan!"

After finishing speaking, Li Xiaodao walked up to his elder brother and sat down, and whispered: "Brother, you called everyone over to engage in such a big battle, what if the husband doesn't win? How embarrassing!" Li Xiaodao didn't expect that at home There will be so many people waiting together, wouldn't it be embarrassing to wait for a day in vain?
"Oh, what are you afraid of! If this talented brother-in-law is still in the village, the whole village will be waiting together, which will be even more lively! And Baima Village probably has people looking around at the entrance of the village now! It's nothing if you don't win. As long as the big guys have a lively meal, it will be a farewell for us!" Li Xiaoxin said cheerfully.

It seems that I am really ignorant and ignorant. I didn't expect Hou Yiyi's ranking in the rural examination to be so grand.

It is said that the center of the storm is the calmest. Li Xiaodao looked at Xianggong who sat quietly on the chair after refilling tea, and when Xianggong happened to be looking at her, Li Xiaodao smiled and waved to Xianggong.

Pei Zhiqi also smiled slightly at the lady.After laughing, he tilted his head slightly, as if he was listening to the noise outside, then he stood up, smiled at Li Xiaodao, "It seems to be here."

"What's coming, what's coming!" Xiaodouzi who was sitting next to Pei Zhiqi jumped up.

"I heard a gong beating outside," Pei Zhiqi replied.

"Hurry up and take a look!" Li Xiaoxin shouted hastily.

As soon as the words came out, Xiaodouzi Xiaoxizi and the other guys rushed to the door first, jumping and shouting happily: "It's really here! It's really here! It's a long line! Get the red envelopes ready!"

Li Xiaoxin also ran outside the door, took a look, and turned to his sister and said, "Hurry up and bring out the red envelope plate! Aunt Wang! When the dishes are set, fill up the wine cup quickly, and put a few more pairs of chopsticks!"

Chef Wang smiled until wrinkles formed at the corners of her eyes: "I know! I know!"

Li Xiaodao looked outside, then inside, his mind went blank for a moment.

"Master, Mr. Xiang!" Seeing Mr. Xiang still standing in the main room, Li Xiaodao called out.

"Don't worry, lady." Pei Zhiqi picked up the plate containing the red envelopes and smiled at Li Xiaodao: "Let's go out too."

"En!" Li Xiaodao happily responded.
