Traveling through the farmhouse: farming and making a fortune and raising cubs

Early the next morning, as soon as the city gate opened, the Li family's carriage entered the city directly. Behind them, there was already a long queue.

It's not that Lin He and Li Changhui got up so early. In fact, after closing the city gate last night, Lin He asked Li Changhui to drive the family's carriage over to occupy the space, but he took the horse back later.

Today I almost came here just in time to open the city gate. As soon as I hitched the carriage, the city gate opened.

Of course, Li Yu didn't come out so early. It would take more than an hour for them to come out. The main reason for coming here early was to avoid being blocked at the intersection.

For nine consecutive days, I couldn't eat well or sleep well. It is said that the small cubicle used for the exam only had a table and a chair, and there was not even a place to lie down. I could only sleep against the wall.

Just thinking about it makes me heartbroken, and I don't know what this child must have been through.

Although he went early and might be stuck inside, Lin He had already prepared enough things in the carriage. If nothing else, at least the children could have a good rest after they came out.

But they were early, and the people in the city were earlier. By the time they arrived, the carriage had already blocked half of the street.

Lin He sat next to Li Changhui and was speechless: "That's outrageous. Don't these people need a rest? Are you coming here in the middle of the night?"

Since they entered the city, they haven't even had time for a cup of tea, okay?
Li Changhui was not surprised: "There are servants waiting in line. It's normal."

The carriage stopped immediately in front, and the two of them couldn't care about anything else now.

In just a short while, several more carriages came behind them and stopped next to or behind their carriage, completely blocking the way they left, without even a place to turn around.

As for going back later, we have to wait until the people behind us slowly leave.

Li Changhui looked around and simply tied the reins to the carriage.

"I'll go to the front and have a look. Will you wait for us here, or come with me?"

Lin He thought for a moment: "I'll stay here. You'll pick up Yu'er later and bring her back."

There were also carriages in front of them. It was very inconvenient to walk there, so she stopped following them to join in the fun. Besides, there were a lot of things in the carriages.

Although it's broad daylight, what if I encounter a thief?

Li Changhui nodded: "Then you should be careful. If there are too many people, just go directly to the carriage."

Lin He agreed, and then Li Changhui walked through the crowded carriage.

Although there were carriages all around, Lin He didn't feel bored. The shops on both sides had opened their doors one after another. It was normal to see so many carriages outside.

There are two days every year. Who allows the scholar to take the exam every year?

There are steps in front of the shop door. The carriage cannot get up, but the people on the carriage can.

When Li Changhui parked his car before, he deliberately stopped at the edge. Lin He heard the sound of the store opening and turned around to see a snack shop.

Specializing in selling nuts, preserved fruits, candies and the like.

Lin He hesitated for a second and then went down. It would be a while anyway, so he just wanted to take a look here and not go too far.

After lighting a stick of incense, Lin He came out, followed by the waiter from the snack shop. The waiter's face almost broke out with laughter. There was business as soon as the door opened, so how could he be unhappy?

Lin He then sat outside the carriage, holding melon seeds wrapped in oil paper in his arms. There was also an empty piece of oil paper beside him for throwing the melon seed shells.

There were gradually more people around, and there were more and more noisy voices. At this time, Lin He could no longer see where Li Changhui was.

But Lin He wasn't worried. She couldn't find Li Changhui, and Li Changhui would definitely be able to find the carriage.When the sun was about three o'clock in the morning, Lin He had almost finished cracking a bag of melon seeds, when finally there was movement from the front.

The examination room is open and the people inside are coming out!

Lin He immediately felt like he had been injected with chicken blood. He wrapped the leftover melon seeds and melon seed shells in two or three times and put them aside. Then he stood on the carriage and looked out.

Just in time to see the entrance to the examination room, as before, many officers, soldiers and government officials formed a circle to prevent everyone from getting too close.

There are also people coming out of the examination room, helping people who are walking slowly out.

Lin He clicked her tongue. She only knew that these nine days were difficult, but she really didn't expect it to be so serious.

The few she saw now were not only sluggish in their steps, pale in face, but even unsteady on their feet. As soon as the yamen officials put them down, they would fall straight to the ground.

Fortunately, his family members soon called his name outside, and the government officials were kind-hearted and delivered the man to his family members before leaving.

However, this kind of person should be in poor health. Lin He knew that many scholars could not lift their shoulders or lift their hands. They only focused on reading and were very squeamish.

Of course, there are not many such people, at least they do not account for a large proportion of the total number of scholars. Most people also need to cultivate themselves while studying.

Except for a few people at the beginning, almost everyone came out on their own after that. Li Yu was never seen. Lin He was a little worried as to why he hadn't come out yet.

Just as she craned her neck to look around, she heard someone calling her.

"Mom, what are you looking at?"

It's Li Yu.

Lin He lowered his head and saw at a glance that Li Yu and Li Changhui were already beside the carriage.

"Yu'er? Why are you so fast? I didn't even see you come out just now."

Li Changhui helped Li Yu get on the carriage: "He was the first to come out, so he might have just missed it."

Li Yu seemed to be in good condition, at least he had no problem walking, his eyes were very bright, and he was not as weak as others.

In addition to losing a lot of weight on his cheeks, it seems that although the dried meat provided him with a certain amount of energy, it could not be fully used as food, especially for as long as nine days.

But his body was rotten, his face was dirty, and his hair was oily and messy, like a beggar who had been wandering for several days.

"Oh my god, why are you like this? Come to the carriage quickly. I'll bring you some food. You should eat something first."

He hadn't been able to eat well for so long, so Lin He didn't bring anything else, just a bowl of vegetable porridge, a steamed egg, and a pot of hot water.

Lin He took out the food from the food box. Li Yu was not polite. He said thank you to his mother, took it and started eating. Li Changhui opened the curtain of the carriage.

Although they didn't dislike it, the carriage space was small, and Li Yu stayed inside for a while, and the smell became more obvious.

"I forgot to bring you some extra water before, but when we came out, Hao'er was boiling hot water at home. When you get home, take a good wash and then go to sleep. We'll do the rest after you wake up. .”

Li Yu was like this now, as if he had just been released from prison. Lin He was heartbroken to see him.

A boy who was so handsome and energetic before has now turned into a stray puppy.

Li Yu ate seriously and didn't even bother to answer. He only had time to nod, which made Lin He feel even more distressed. (End of chapter)
