Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

There are still three days before the exam. Fourth Uncle is studying in his room every day. Bi Yue said to Grandma, "Fourth Uncle stays in his room every day like this. It's not good for the exam because he is too nervous. Let's take him out for a walk tomorrow. There are many places in the city that we haven't been to. Let him relax a little."

"That's a good idea. I was also worried that he would be too nervous. I didn't dare to ask him to go out and play because he failed the first two times."

Before going to bed at night, Grandma and Biyue came to Fourth Uncle's room and told him that they would go to the city tomorrow and went to bed early today. Qinghui agreed.

The weather was very good this morning, with a clear sky and fresh air. It was a good day to go out and play. The three of them dressed neatly and prepared to go out. They said hello to the couple before going out.

Walking on the spacious streets of the city, there are many shops on both sides, cloth shops, embroidery shops, jewelry shops, etc., people come and go, it is quite lively, the rich people in the city are also very particular about their clothes, gorgeous clothes, silk and satin. There are young women holding children on the street, there are also beautiful young ladies strolling with their maids, there are handsome young men with their little servants, there are all kinds of people, there are also vendors pushing carts and selling, grandma bought a string of candied haws for her granddaughter, in fact, she doesn't like to eat it, but she can't show it, so she gave the candied haws to her fourth uncle.

The three of them went to a breakfast shop, which served wontons, porridge, pancakes, and noodles. They smelled nice and must have tasted good.

Grandma ordered porridge and a pancake, Fourth Uncle ordered wontons and two pancakes, and a bowl of wontons was enough for Bi Yue.

After eating, they looked around and went to a clothing store to buy two sets of clothes for their fourth uncle. Qinghui said that there were already clothes and there was no need to buy them, so he asked his mother to buy two sets for herself. So grandma bought one set for Biyue and one set for herself.

I went to the jewelry store and wandered around for a while, but didn't buy anything. The things there were much more expensive than those in town, and grandma was reluctant to spend them.

Around ten o'clock, the group was tired from walking, and the fourth uncle suggested going to a teahouse to sit down. Biyue happily agreed, and also wanted to see what an ancient teahouse looked like. Seeing that her granddaughter was happy, the grandmother went with them.

The teahouse in the city is grand and well decorated. It is really beautiful inside. The teahouse has three floors. There are not many people on the first floor. The storyteller on the stage in front is telling a mythological story, and the guests below are listening with great interest.

After listening for a while, Bi Yue felt that it was not as good as Journey to the West. If she copied Journey to the West, wrote it into a book and sold it, and then let a storyteller tell it on the stage, it would definitely be very popular.

Seeing that Fourth Uncle and Grandma listened without blinking, it seemed they were fascinated.

Bi Yue sat bored on a chair and looked at the guests in the hall on the first floor. Some were whispering, some were applauding the storyteller, and some were throwing purses onto the stage.

At noon, the storyteller left the stage, and some guests left one after another. The three of them were also going out for lunch. They came out to the counter to pay the bill, which was two and a half taels of silver. Grandma took out the money and paid it with a heartache. The consumption here was quite expensive. Seeing the pain in her face, she decided not to come again next time. Haha! The old lady is so cute!

Time flies. The exam will start tomorrow. In the evening, grandma and Biyue came to my fourth uncle's room and prepared 3 boxes of instant noodles, 3 boxes of instant powder, 5 ham sausages, a pound bag of beef jerky, pieces of ginger, a cup of primary spiritual spring water, boiled eggs, a small bag of milk powder, a porcelain cup and spoon for milk, chopsticks, an oilcloth, a small charcoal stove, a -pound bag of smokeless charcoal, a lighter, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, hand warmer, and kettle. It's almost like going on a trip. The exam lasts for three days, and I have to stay inside for three days. How can I not bring some food?

The next morning, it was just dawn and the three of them got up around six. Fourth Uncle was wearing a thick cotton coat and cotton pants. His shoes and warm underwear were all bought for him by Bi Yue in the system. The leather shoes had fur inside, which was warm and comfortable.

Three men drove the carriage to the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall. Many candidates had already arrived, about three hundred people. Every student was full of confidence. Some were carrying baskets, some were carrying bags, and some were holding number plates. The team was divided into three groups and went in one by one for inspection.

Bi Yue said to her fourth uncle, "I will stay with you until we get to the inspection site. I am worried that someone might do something bad and throw a ball of paper at you, which would ruin your exam. You must be on guard against others, but you must not have the intention to harm others.

A safe bet is a safe bet. I can detect if someone is trying to do something bad to you and take timely precautions."

Grandma and Fourth Uncle both agreed, and felt warm in their hearts. Grandma went to watch the carriage.

Bi Yue held Fourth Uncle's sleeve and went to the queue. She whispered to the system, "Open the scan to see if anyone is doing anything bad to Fourth Uncle. If there is any sign, tell me immediately."

"Okay, host."

There were only six people left in the long line before Fourth Uncle's arrival when a crying voice came from the front: "I didn't bring anything with me, that piece of paper is not mine, someone must have harmed me, sir, I am innocent, I am innocent!"

"Let's talk about it after you've been wronged." A bailiff dragged him away.

Seeing this scene makes people feel scared and nervous.

The people in front of Fourth Uncle started to touch themselves. If there was really a note, it would be useless to touch like this. Biyue gave Fourth Uncle a reassuring look, and Fourth Uncle understood. With a fairy-like niece by his side, he felt at ease and rest assured. He must do well in the exam this time.

It was Fourth Uncle's turn to inspect, and he went in carrying a backpack. The yamen runner thought the little girl wanted to follow, so he tried to stop her. Bi Yue stepped back and said to Fourth Uncle, "Fourth Uncle, come on! You're the best!" The students and yamen runners nearby thought the pretty little girl was so adorable after hearing what she said.

As people slowly went in, the line outside gradually became shorter. Everyone entered the Gongyuan and closed the heavy door. Three days later, those who came out would have a different identity and life.

Grandma drove the carriage with Biyue back to where they lived.
