Quick Wear: Men Farming and Women Weaving

The results of the imperial examination came out during this period. There were more than a dozen people from the academy, and only five of them passed the exam with her. They all came from the same academy. Their looks and personalities were different, and their temperaments all had traces of their family. They were also easy to get along with and didn't make things difficult for others. Haoyue certainly didn't know that they only recognized her behind her back, and they wouldn't get along so well with others, and were very arrogant.

After becoming a scholar, all her attention was focused on the imperial examination and she neglected many things. Many people were very gentle to her and thought it was normal. Occasionally, when she was walking on the street, she would meet many young men who would flirt with her. And Dashan, who was raised by a mother wolf with her since childhood, was bribed by the person who appeared in the house. Every time he appeared, he would bring a lot of meat to him, and he had no ill will towards Haoyue. He could appear at will. He was responsible for the sanitation of the yard and the kitchen. Some of the mending of damaged clothes was done by the secret guards who were good at needlework. There were also other people watching the yard. Once Haoyue had an accident, these people would immediately appear to save him.

Liu Dashan from Liujia Village stared at Liu Yu with a ferocious look on his face. She lied to everyone and said that she would be sent to another place to live independently. Her husband had the answer in his heart, but he did not speak. He also took the opportunity to clean up the traces for his wife.

He carried the sack into the deep mountains and forests, opened the sack in an open space, and looked at Liu Yu.

Liu Dashan had been waiting for his daughter for so many years, but she was replaced by this little beast. He also murdered her Haoyue. Ten sons were harmed by Liu Yu, but she didn't want to care. Several sons were stupid and didn't have her IQ. Liu Dashan was forced to expel him from the family, and he died because he had no hope. The hatred of killing a daughter is irreconcilable. Of course, revenge must be taken when her own child is bullied and harmed. She must not be given another chance.

He took out a hunting bow and arrow, aimed it at her head, and shot it directly at her head with great ruthlessness.

After watching her die, he hid in a nearby tree and waited for the wild animals to come and eat her body. He waited until there was no more bones left and only bloodstains. Only when he was sure that she could no longer survive did he go down the mountain.

Liu Langjun watched his wife come back without saying a word, took a set of clean clothes and asked her to change into them, and burned the old clothes in the stove. He also prepared bath water and asked his wife to take a good bath.

After the couple had finished cleaning up, they began to prepare dinner. The unmarried sons in the family had returned from the fields, and they simply ate sweet potato rice and a few home-cooked dishes. They did not ask Liu Yu when they returned. Her room had become a rough-finished house. All traces of her existence had been erased.

At noon, the sons all came back and everyone started to serve their meals in silence.

Liu Dashan did not go hunting in the afternoon, but secretly ran to the next village, Zhangjia Village. After asking about his daughter's residence, he hid in the weeds not far away and waited for his daughter to come back, just wanting to see what she looked like.

Haoyue said goodbye to his teacher at the academy and returned home when it was already late. He did not cook any meal but just made some millet porridge to nourish his stomach.

Liu Dashan watched the person in front of him walk away with tears in his eyes. She looked very much like the couple, and her eyes were exactly the same as her father's. She was thin and only slightly taller than an average person. It was obvious that she had a weak body.

I have never thought about recognizing her. As long as she lives a good life, is safe and sound, lives a long life, and has someone to take care of her, I will always be watching her from a distance.

After a while, Haoyue’s back could no longer be seen, so he slowly stood up and turned back.

At night, he told Langjun that the child looked very much like him, a thin, gentle, easy-going and kind child.

He lay in bed, listening to his wife's words with tears in his eyes. Thinking of the night when Haoyue was killed in his previous life, he couldn't sleep all night and his heart was always uncomfortable. He regretted that he was afraid of his wife's disappointed eyes, plus the gossip in the village. He did something wrong. He harmed his own daughter and his sons, and he felt even more sorry for hiding the truth from his wife. Now he has no face to see his daughter again.

"In a few days, Haoyue will go to the capital city to take the exam."

"Can you tell me how much money is left at home?"

"I don't spend much on a daily basis, and most of it is spent by that person." Liu Langjun turned around and found a small box under the pillow next to him.

When I opened the box, I found that most of the money inside was small copper coins, and some silver.

Liu Dashan asked him to pack up the silver and put it in his purse, waiting to send it over tomorrow. He was afraid that Haoyue didn't have much silver on him, and the cost of taking the imperial examination was very high, and the cost of the journey was already unaffordable for most people. Liu Dashan was a hunter and could usually hunt some wild animals, so he had no shortage of food and drink. He usually kept the silver from selling wild animals.

He took out a blue purse that he usually made, which was quite delicate and had a pattern of auspicious clouds. He stuffed more than 30 taels of silver into it and handed it to his wife.

Haoyue started packing up the next day and gave away some unused items that would not last long to neighbors.

I carried the important things in the space with me. There wasn’t much food, so I made dumplings and steamed buns to eat on the road.

Books, calligraphy and painting are more important, but they cannot be carried in the space. If there is no luggage, people will find it. I filled an empty wooden box with books, calligraphy and painting, and the four treasures of the study. I collected a bag and filled it with clothes to change. In the book box, I put the rice paper, ink and books I usually use. Some annotations of scriptures given by the teacher, and some exam questions from previous years.

All the things in the house that were not needed were given away. Those who came to take things and gave her some dry food, one of them secretly put a bag into the food sent by the villagers. Fearing that he would be discovered, he turned around and ran out of the periphery.

Haoyue sent away those enthusiastic people and packed up some food. He found a bag with a set of newly made Confucian robes and a purse full of silver coins. He didn't know who gave it to him. After thinking about it, he put it away.

The next day, I went to the county and found the escort agency to arrange the route to the provincial capital.

In the last moments, I looked for the village chief and expressed my gratitude for his care over the years, as well as the care of the elderly ladies and gentlemen.

The vehicle arranged by the escort agency has arrived. Wearing a newly made Confucian robe, he said goodbye to the villagers who came to see him off.

A dozen people from the Liu family hid in the back and watched her drive away. Liu Langjun looked at his daughter with hope, wearing the clothes he had sewn stitch by stitch for a whole day and night. He embroidered his name in a more hidden place inside the clothes.
