Wang Ge's reputation for his skillful weaving skills spread throughout the village in one day. If farmers can't study, can they still learn crafts? If they can't become officials in the future, will they still be unable to become craftsmen?

What's more, Wang Hu's young lady has already made a name for herself!

On the terrace near the water, Wang Shu and Zhang Cang, the youngest son of the neighboring Zhang family, were the first to become apprentices. Zhang Cang was Zhang Cai's younger brother and was one year younger than Wang Shu. Zhang's family owned two oxcarts. After Wang Ge carefully taught Zhang Cang,

Even the labor cost of transporting knitted products to the inn was saved.

Just as Wang Weng was worried, the villagers went to the towns and villages to inquire. After inquiring, everyone looked strange. Many village neighbors began to say privately: "From now on, just listen to half of Wang Erlang's words!"

But no matter what, it is a fact that Wangge, a little girl, has made a name for herself in the countryside! It is also a fact that as long as a young child can live up to his expectations, he can share the land rent for the family and reduce the labor force!

The whole village was filled with joy, but only the Yao family and the little Jia family were jealous of Di Si. Wang Ge felt relieved because he didn’t have to worry about any housework for the county exam in two months. Agu asked them to

One person had to take turns every day, chopping firewood, doing laundry, cooking, delivering meals, and carrying water. He was as tired as a donkey, and his aunt scolded him every day for not being able to do his job well. It was so annoying!

Time flies, it's April, and it's the day of the conscription. According to the announcement from the village officials, the conscription period is longer, fifty days. The tasks are to dig canals or repair city walls.

At times like this, every household is gloomy and gloomy. Secondly, the son is suffering from hardships outside, and he is afraid of something unexpected happening!

The same is true for the Wang family. Last year Sanlang went there and when he came back, everyone was exhausted. This year it's Erlang's turn, but Erlang left home. What will happen to Age's county exam next month? Who will send Age off?

However, Wang Weng's back problem came back again, and he leaned on the bedside and sighed.

Wang Ge saw what his father was worried about and said, "I will take the exam myself."

"How about that?"

Jia Guo hesitated: "How about... I go with you?" It wasn't that she was unwilling, but she had never been far away before, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to help her granddaughter and would be held back.

Wang Ge smiled and advised: "Father and mother, don't worry. The village has sent officials to take care of us, and I won't be traveling alone. Moreover, the examiner said at that time that each craftsman should bring at most one relative.

This means it’s okay not to accompany you.”

"You are still young and a girl!"

"Don't spread these words to the countryside, uncle. When I was taking the craftsman examination, two examiners secretly remarked on my age, and they almost dismissed me."

Concubine Jia was afraid: "You are only ten years old. It would be unreasonable to be dismissed because of your age!"

Wang Weng sighed: "I will think about it again. If my father's back is healed by then, I will send you there."

The family discussed it, but no one suggested that Wang Sanlang send Wang Ge away.

On the fourth day of April, a major murder occurred in Cuiyi County.

Magistrate Jiang was killed at home. The magistrate's wife went to offer incense outside the city in March and died unexpectedly. The magistrate's daughter, Jiang E, once complained about her mother's injustice, believing that her mother was murdered. But the county magistrate

He ordered his wife to be buried in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, less than a month later, the county magistrate also died at home, and his daughter Jiang E disappeared.

If a court official is killed and the life or death of his relatives is unknown, the cause must be found out as soon as possible, reported to the court, and announced to the public.

Originally, this case had nothing to do with the young Huan Zhen. Unexpectedly, the Longkang Huan family recommended a disciple of Pangzong to take over as the magistrate of Cuiyi County. The brave and martial Huan Zhen was originally annoyed by the boring life in Kyoto. After learning about this incident,

, immediately encouraged their friend Wen Shizhi, and under the pretext of studying to investigate the case, the two of them rushed to Kuaiji County on horseback, and then met with Wang Tian, ​​the son of the prefect of the county, and rushed to Cuiyi County together.

Later, the three of them cheated and got rid of Buqu, and they rode horses and sang wildly. Even though the wind and dust hit their faces, they felt very happy and felt like a knight-errant.

They didn't know that the troops who had been "thrown away" had already divided into three groups: one in the front to take the path to detect any bandits; one in the back to respond if there was any danger; and the middle group was the most tiring and they had to catch some every day.

The wild beasts are starved and beaten half to death. They are placed on the path of the young men so that they can "accidentally bump into them" and then hunt them.

On April 25th, at the end of the Shenshi period, the three of them entered Cuiyi County, abandoned their horses in the suburbs of the forest, put on the old cloth they had prepared, crossed the Suozhu sign, and walked to Duting Station, ten miles outside the city, to stay.

"We really tied the horse here? Isn't it good?" Wen Shizhi turned around after a few steps, he would have known better not to ride out this beloved little red horse.

"Stop talking about it!" Huan Zhen grabbed the opponent's shoulder and quickened his pace. He had already noticed that the soldiers were following closely. Who dared to steal their mounts? It's so annoying!

Among the three young men, Wang Tian is the youngest and the most heartless. This boy can get into trouble three hundred and fifty days a year, and he is already beaten to exhaustion by his elders. He even hopes to get into big trouble this time.

Let his friends accompany him to be beaten and punished! Haha!

Duting Station occupies a very large area. Wang Ge looked at the outer wall in the distance, which was more than two feet long. There was not only a balconies in the center, but also turrets at the four corners of the courtyard wall, which looked like both a dock and a manor.

She came here so early because only one neighbor from the village came to the county recently. If she didn't take this family's car, she would have to walk on her feet for several days. Before she came, her eldest father's back pain had not improved and he was in pain.

She can't even stand up when she's so powerful. So this time, in addition to the craftsman competition, she must find a way to make some money and buy some good medicine for her eldest father from the county drug store.

The postman checked Wang Ge's record and proved that, as the examiner said, he checked very carefully. "This year's new craftsman? Only passed the exam at such an old age? Hey, go east along the path under the wall!"

Wang Ge was despised for his age again, so he put the basket on his back again in depression, packed all the pieces of bamboo, and entered the gate.

The north-south central axis road is paved directly in front, and three large oxcarts can run parallelly. Unfortunately, this road leads to the "Postal Area", which is only for officials or wealthy businessmen to rest, and is not a place she can go.

She had to follow the path under the wall to the "lixiang area" where ordinary travelers could eat and stay for free.

Wang Ge is very contented and does not think that the "Li Xiang District" is a slum area and a discrimination against ordinary people. In fact, the meaning is very good, providing a sheltered and sheltered place for the people who have left their hometowns.

A quarter of an hour later, the three young men of Huan Zhen also walked towards the Lixiang District, each with an angry face. It turned out that the postman used the extra slingshot of Huan Zhen and Wen Shizhi's riding whip on the grounds that the items recorded by the three people did not match.

, Wang Tian’s bamboo hairpins were all confiscated.

"You bitch, abusing your power!" Wang Tian's hair fell down and he had to keep tucking it behind his ears.

"At first glance, he was deliberately trying to make things difficult for us. That group of officials were put in without much inspection." Wen Shizhi regretted that he would have known better not to bring out his most beloved tiger whip.

Huan Zhen concluded: "So my sons and I have to travel frequently. How can we know the world just by hiding at home?"

Wang Ge was lamenting at this time that little people have their own means of survival. The person who took her to the post house was a rickety-backed postman in his forties. Along the way, he explained the affairs very skillfully: "I have free time every day to help feed the pigs."

, sweep the dung pile together; chop the firewood that can be chopped and pile it up; the number of jars in front of the house is very important, fill up as much as you can; do not damage all fixed furnishings, doors, and windows; do not light a fire or set up a stove without permission;

Eat two meals a day, you have to go to the big kitchen to get them, eat early at Maozheng, eat late at night, don't care if you miss it; you are not allowed to leave the hospital and move around from midnight onwards."

When he opened the courtyard door, the smell of excrement that hit his face reminded the postman, and he added: "The pig food is also in the big stove."

There is only one main room in this courtyard, facing north and south. There are two large pottery jars on both sides of the door, with lids on the jars.

The pig pen on the west side is a connected thatched pen (connected to the latrine pit next to it), and there is a straw shed in the open space on the east side. Under the shed are large sections of logs, as well as an old axe, grindstone, and water carrying pole.

, a pair of wooden barrels, and a pig food bowl.

It is the responsibility of the postman to keep the sundries in the post house, but Wang Ge wants to stay here for many days, so how dare he refuse to agree. "Yes, sir, I can do all these things."

The postman said "Yes", very satisfied.

She took advantage of the other party's happiness and quickly asked: "Sir, is it okay for me, a little girl, to live in this remote courtyard? I mean, don't let anyone be there in the middle of the night..." She squirmed, making a fearful gesture of being hesitant to speak.

"In addition to bedding, you only have a big basket of straw. Even if a pig steals from you! Besides, whoever dares to steal in the post house will be punished with an additional penalty! Okay, just bolt the door at night!"

"Yes." Wang Ge was depressed, and the communication with the other party was not on the same channel.
Chapter completed!
