Li Yuan's homemade skis were not good at all. She found it difficult to use them when she stepped on them and stood up.
The feeling became even more obvious after she used the pole as a ski pole and slid it away.
But what she thought was bad made Wang Can, who was standing under the eaves, stunned.
She really wanted to try it. She could also change the pole into a wooden stick, as long as she had some hands on it.
Whatever she wanted to do, Wang Can also went back to the woodshed to find a board suitable for skateboarding. However, before she could find it, she heard the sounds of Caiwei and Qingsha clapping their hands.
"Mom is so amazing, so great!"
"Great, great!"
The three men who were clearing snow on the roof looked down when they heard the sound and saw Li Yuan skiing outside the yard.
They all stopped what they were doing, with different expressions on their faces.
Wang Maocai was stunned, Li Jun was thoughtful, and Xie Yanzhi had a good idea flash in his mind and immediately looked at Li Jun with a smile.
"Junzi, I think we can make something similar so that we don't have to catch a train when we go to the county later."
It is difficult for cattle to walk in such thick snow.
Well, let alone the cows, even the horses had difficulty walking, just like when they came back yesterday.
The speed of the horse is not as fast as those of people who usually walk faster.
The wind has stopped now, but the heavy snow is still falling, and the thickness of the snow will only get higher and higher.
In the topography of the north he had read, there was a mention of a means of travel in the heavy snow there, called a sledge.
It's just that this thing seems to be dragged by dogs, deer and horses, which is not suitable for them.
There is another kind, like Yuan Niang is doing now, stepping on the wooden board and sliding on the snow.
The speed is much faster than walking on two feet.
After he finished eating later, he asked Yuanniang and he would draw these based on the descriptions in the book.
I took the drawings back and went to the carpenter in the village to see if they could make it quickly.
If they could, even if they traveled in the afternoon, they would still be faster than walking.
While Li Yuan was skiing, three brothers, Li Duo, Li Zheng and Li Rui, came not far away.
Their legs were stuck deep in the snow, and they were very envious when they saw Li Yuan walking freely on the snow regardless of her appearance.
"Yuan Niang!"
Li Yuan heard the sound and quickly slid towards them.
For her, the skating was very awkward and difficult, but for the three Li Duo brothers, it was impossible to go too fast.
I feel like I'm here.
"Eldest brother, second brother, third brother, why are you here? Have you eaten?"
"Have eaten! Let us come over to help you clear the snow. Let Xie Xiucai and Junzi go to the county seat early. If you can't make it back today, you will definitely miss the right time tomorrow."
No need to ask, Li Yuan knew that the people in the old house were afraid that they would waste time sweeping the floor and it would be too late to go to the county seat.
Her family has to make a decision tomorrow. If she doesn't go today, tomorrow will definitely have to be delayed until the day after tomorrow.
The county examination will be held in February next year. It can be said that time is quite tight.
Naturally, I want to study more books every day!
Hearing this, she nodded, quickly slid back to the door of the yard, and shouted to the people on the roof: "Brother Xie, Junzi, eldest brother, they are here to help clear the snow, and asked you to go to the county seat early. Now come down and eat first, don't delay, save the money If you can’t come back, tomorrow will be an auspicious time.”
When they were cooking just now, Wang Can told her that the determined time would be at midnight, which is ten o'clock in the morning.
In this weather, even if the city gate is opened, it won't be too early.
It will definitely be too late to rush back to Lijia'ao from the county seat!
When he heard about the misfortune, Wang Maocai was a little anxious and hurriedly urged Li Jun: "Junzi, come down quickly, as long as I'm here."
Last night, Li Jun had told him that he would pick up his books again and prepare for the imperial examination.
For Wang Maocai, it would be great if his nephew and son-in-law are willing to make progress.
It is said that he has been smart since he was a child. His father has given him enlightenment since he was three years old.
After reaching the age of five, he went to private school.
Although I stopped studying when I was ten years old, and there were about ten years left in between, didn't I still study for many years before?
All you have to do is pick up the book and study it for a few months, with the guidance of a talented person like Xie Xiucai.
Even if you can't become a scholar by then, there is still hope for a child student.
If you fail the exam next year, you will have to take the exam again the year after.
The more you take the exam, the more likely you will pass the exam one day!
As long as you have fame, you don't have to worry about taxes and corvee in the future.
Their family has also changed its lintel, and can be known as the home of farming and studying to the outside world.
Thinking of this, his heart was extremely hot, and he wished he could do everything for them.
From now on, these scholars will just have to concentrate on reading!
Xie Yanzhi came down from the roof and saw Li Yuan taking off her homemade skis under the eaves.
"Mother Yuan, the snow is thick outside now, and it has already reached the waist. It is extremely inconvenient to travel. I think the way of doing this is very wonderful. I wonder if you can give me a description? I want to change it according to your idea. I will bring the drawing later. Go to the carpenter and ask him to make one for me and Junzi each."
As he said this, he added: "It can also save a lot of time on the way in and out of the city. Even if you leave in the afternoon, you can come back in the evening!"
Li Yuan knew that "bi" means thigh, so she replied: "Okay, let's eat first, and I'll talk to you after we finish eating."
Wang Can, who was working in the woodshed, heard the noise outside and didn't bother to continue searching. He immediately came out and took his two children to wash their hands and eat.
Xie's house, Rongshu Lane, Liuyun County
Master and servant Su Mingshan rarely had a peaceful sleep, and it was almost noon when they woke up.
She stretched and looked at the quiet room, feeling worried again.
"Su Jin, you said that none of us can go back, and Sister Li can't come back either? I originally said that I would go back in half a month at most. But now it seems that I'm afraid that the day on the road has come, and I won't be able to go back." Don’t go. By then, parents should be anxious!”
Su Jin knew that her young lady was worried about the situation at home, so she comforted her: "Ms. Li is a smart person. Even if she can't come back, she can live a good life in Fucheng. As for the master and his wife, they will definitely be worried if they are worried about the young lady. But , we came back with Young Master Li and the Escort Agency, so Master shouldn’t be too worried. It’s still snowing heavily outside at the moment, and it won’t be too late to go back when it gets quieter and the road becomes easier.”
Su Mingshan sighed, looked at the room again, and said: "The day I first arrived at Xie's house, it was too crowded and I didn't have my own room. Sister Li had to sleep here at night. Now it's more spacious, but no one is here. It also came to nothing. I don’t know when I will come back next time after I go back this time. Brother Li and Wang Can are probably engaged now. When they come back one day, I think they will have a son and a daughter."
Su Jin hesitated for a while before finally summoning the courage to say, "Actually, miss, I think Mr. Qin is quite good."
