Lin Xixi took Xiaoyu Xiaoduo to go home. Xiaoduo picked a handful of wild flowers and said with a smile, "Give it to mother, it smells so good."
Lin Yuxi accepted it with dignity, and smelled it vigorously, "It smells so good. She is really a good daughter of my mother. I know that my mother likes wild flowers the most. Come on, let's go home."
The two children were jumping up and down, very happy, and waved to Chen Xiuyun, "Goodbye, sister-in-law."
This was the first time Chen Xiuyun heard such words. She was at a loss for a moment and waved to them, "Goodbye."
On the other hand, the exam went smoothly.
However, the examination room was divided into small cubicles, one for each person. There was not much ventilation and it was a bit stuffy. I wiped my sweat while writing papers.
Chen Zhongqian used to be a person who had to put up a quilt even in the dog days of summer. His body was extremely weak. But now it is different. He also feels hot. He actually misses himself a little when he couldn't feel the heat in summer. Why is it that he couldn't feel the heat in the summer?
The silver elixir grass soaked in water prepared by Lin Yuxi was very useful. After drinking it, it could bring a moment of coolness. Chen Zhongqian was afraid of having to urinate, so he soaked it thickly. A sip made him feel much better.
Not only that, you can smell the cool smell when you pour water into the tea cup, which makes people less anxious.
There is one test in half a day, a total of four tests in two days, and you can eat after one test.
After all, this is not a scientific examination, so you can leave the cubicle while eating. Chen Zhongqian invited Chen Zhongda to eat together and gave him some of his meat sauce.
Chen Zhongda's steamed buns were also made of fine flour, and the Chen family would not treat him harshly when eating, but they had no milky flavor, so he sniffed when he smelled Chen Zhongqian's steamed buns.
Chen Zhongqian gave him one and said, "Try it."
"This belongs to my eldest brother. I can't get enough of it."
Chen Zhongqian smiled and said, "There are a lot of them, and your sister-in-law is afraid that I won't have enough to eat."
He said "your sister-in-law" casually, with a bit of pride and a little show off in his tone.
Look, my wife is such a good wife.
Chen Zhongda tasted one and ate it with meat sauce. His eyes bulged as he ate it. It was so delicious!
"My sister-in-law also made this meat sauce?"
Chen Zhongqian nodded, "You can't eat much just by eating steamed buns, but they taste better when eaten with them. I brought a small jar with me, which is enough for two days."
Chen Zhongda's mouth was bulging with food. He was taught by Chen Mingyi to look like a scholar, so he rarely ate like this. The main reason was that it was so delicious. The steamed buns were dipped in meat sauce. Why were they so fragrant?
"It's delicious. My sister-in-law is so kind. I wish I had a close friend."
The two of them choked at the same time. Chen Zhongda coughed a few times and quickly explained, "I mean, I also want to get a wife."
Brother, I really don’t mean to covet my sister-in-law, don’t stare at me...
Chen Zhongqian said, "It's time for you to get a wife."
"Grandpa said that we will wait until I pass the exam to discuss the marriage. Now I should study hard and don't be distracted."
How could Chen Zhongqian not know Chen Mingyi's plan? It was not because he was afraid that Chen Zhongda would be distracted, but because he thought that once he had achieved fame, he would have more advantages in getting married. If he could marry someone with a good family background, and with the help of his father-in-law, things would be smoother in the future.
After eating and taking a break, the next exam will be taken. You don’t know what will be tested before the exam. This is the charm of this exam.
After the four exams, everyone was very tired. Although it was not as hard as the scientific exam, it was not much different. I hope I could pass the exam.
At this time, the sun had begun to set. Chen Zhongqian and Chen Zhongda met. The two of them walked out together. When they heard the candidates next to them complaining about the mosquitoes in the examination room, the two of them suddenly realized that they didn't have a bag on them.
Nope.
"The sachet given by my sister-in-law is really useful." Chen Zhongda couldn't help but praise that the herbal medicine soaked in water was also very useful. He was quite nervous at first, but after drinking it, he calmed down a lot and became less hot.
Chen Zhongqian looked back at him, and Chen Zhongda immediately shut up, saying that he didn't dare to exaggerate about his sister-in-law casually. He didn't want to be stared at.
There were a lot of people, so it took a while to get out.
Yue also caught up from behind, "Zhong Qian, Zhong Qian, I finally saw you. I've been thinking about you these past two days."
Chen Zhongqian's head was full of black lines, "You'd better think about the exam."
"After thinking about it, I think I did pretty well in the exam. What about you? It must be fine, right?" Yue Ye was a little worried. He was a child student and the exam was different from Bai Shen's, so he didn't know if it was difficult or not.
Yesterday, Tong Sheng came in first and was in an examination room inside, so we didn't see him in these two days.
Chen Zhongqian said, "It's all written down."
Yue Ye: What kind of answer is this?
Chen Zhongda thought, Brother must be fine. This time he jumped with excitement when he saw the test questions. He actually won so many content. Brother is really amazing.
The focus points that Chen Zhongqian set for him covered a wide range of subjects, and there were many side-to-side things. He had doubts at first, would he really be able to take the test on those things? Scientific examinations rarely covered them.
Fortunately, he only hesitated for a moment, and later he prepared seriously, otherwise he would really regret it this time.
Several people waited for a long time before leaving the examination room. There was a sea of people outside. Chen Zhongqian stood on the steps and saw the slender figure in the opposite corner at a glance.
Lin Xixi also saw him at a glance and waved to him happily. Chen Zhongqian nodded and quickly squeezed past.
Behind him, another person also saw Lin Joy. Seeing Lin Joy waving, he thought she was waving to him, and felt a little proud in his heart. It seemed that she was still the same Lin Joy as before.
Liu Xun was about to tell Lin Xiyi not to do this to him in the future, as it would easily cause misunderstandings, but he saw Lin Xiyi pulling Chen Zhongqian to the side, taking out a handkerchief and wiping his sweat, his bright eyes full of tears.
smile.
Du Xuejiao came to pick up her husband with her little maid. Seeing Liu Xun walking in the other direction, she chased him angrily.
"Ms. sir, why are you coming here? I'm waiting for you there. Did you see some girl?"
Liu Xun came back to his senses and smiled, "I saw that there was a candied haws-along shop selling candied haws on a stick here, and I thought about buying a bunch for you. Don't you love candied haws-alongs the most?"
Du Xuejiao said, "Well, if you don't want to eat the candied haws, go back and tell daddy that you must have done well in the exam, right? You must do well in the exam and let daddy be happy."
Liu Xun nodded. He did well in the exam, but the questions were a bit off-topic. He didn't know what his ranking would be.
He is a child, so he is almost certain to get in, but if his ranking is too bad, his father-in-law will definitely not be happy, and he will be criticized again, which is really stressful.
In the past few years, he seemed to be in a good position. He had a lovely wife and the support of his father-in-law. His father-in-law was also the shopkeeper of Yuan Antang. How many people envied him.
But only he can understand the feeling. Even if he really becomes a high official in the future and can control his own life, he will probably never forget the feeling of being under someone else's control.
