"Huh?" Hearing Lian Tianqing's words, Xu Wen didn't react for a while.

During this time, he went back and forth between the old wood field and the Xu house, and all his energy was spent on studying. In comparison, checking Dongfang Lei's progress every morning for tutoring, and teaching Lian Lin Lin Xu San to read and write in the afternoon, it is a rare time to relax and be free.

Being immersed in learning and feeling your growth every day is a feeling of happiness.

During this time, the old wood yard was almost Xu Wen's paradise, and now he suddenly told him that there was a world outside, and he was going to leave here to go out, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"I've just finished learning Eighteen Tricks, and there's still a lot to ......," he was a little reluctant.

"There is no problem with the eighteen coincidences, and it will take some time to integrate them. You should go out for a walk. Lian Tianqing saw his thoughts and said without doubt.

When Lian Tianqing said "you should", it means that he has thought it through.

Xu Wen paused and no longer refused: "Yes." ”

"Yao Pingyuan is waiting for you in the main house, you go over now, and he will explain some of the matters for your trip. After Lian Tianqing finished speaking, he ignored him, Xu Wen finished his salute and walked out of the spacious wooden house.

Today is a sunny day, Xu Wen has just gone out, and the sun is spreading in front of him, dyeing everything in dazzling gold.

Next to the rockery, there is a cluster of morning glory blooming luxuriantly, white and purple, and crystal dew drops can be faintly visible on the delicate petals.

A turquoise cricket emerged from between the leaves, poked out, and jumped out.

It's a sight he usually sees, but it's as if it just appeared.

Before today, he had passed by here countless times, but he had passed by in a hurry, and he saw it in his eyes, but he never reflected it in his heart.

Master was right, he should have gone out for a walk.

Xu asked out of the old woodyard and arrived at the main residence of Yao's woodhouse.

The main house is behind the Tianzifang, and the two are connected together.

Xu Wen used to think that this was because Master Yao paid more attention to the Tianzifang and worked most often in the Tianzifang. Now that I think about it, it should be that these two together are the earliest Yao's wooden workshop, and the latter part is all built on this basis.

Although it is only a small mountain village, Yao's wooden workshop still maintains the style and aesthetics that Jiangnan architecture should have.

The layout of the entire mill is very reasonable, with cinder roads paved between the mills to facilitate walking back and forth, as well as transporting timber by vehicles.

When he first came, Xu Wen was basically a complete modern person, and when he looked at this village with modern eyes, although he still thought it was beautiful, he didn't have much feeling.

Now that time has passed and his understanding of the world has deepened, Xu Wen has gradually realized how much investment is needed to build a mountain village wooden workshop to this extent in this era.

Whether it is the construction and expansion of Yao's Wooden Workshop itself, or the road traffic to the outside world, it is enough to cost Master Yao's life savings, and the mental and material resources consumed are countless.

Master Yao expanded his own wood mill to this extent so that it could continue to survive and not be annexed.

But if it weren't for the existence of Master Lian, or if he said it with a bigger face, if it wasn't for the appearance of his Xu Wen, just because no one passed the apprenticeship test, Master Yao's dream would have been shattered......

And how many people like Master Yao are there?

How will they react if their life's work is broken like this?

Did the government think about this when formulating such a policy?

Or is it for some reason that they plan to do it even if they anticipate it?

After all, Xu Wen is a modern person, and he grew up in political classes since he was a child. In the blink of an eye, he thought about it all up and down, and had some realizations, but also more doubts.

Yao's wooden workshop is not too big after all, Xu Wen walked his mind, and unconsciously arrived at the door of Tianzifang.

Before he could go in, someone happened to come out, and when they saw him, they immediately called out: "Xu ...... Senior Brother Xu!"

Xu Wen looked up and saw him and was stunned for a moment. This man was quite familiar, he was a little impressed, but he really couldn't remember the name.

"Senior Brother Xu, why did you get here, where are you going?" I'll show you the way......" The man trotted over to Xu Wen, nodded his head, and said earnestly.

Xu Wen was very uncomfortable, and a picture vaguely appeared in his mind, when he first came in, he met this person on the road, he was talking to another person, and pointed to his side twice.

It wasn't contemptuous, but it was very cold—exactly like two people now.

The most important thing is that this person is in his thirties, older than Xu Wen in the two worlds, and it feels really strange to call himself Master.

"You ......"

"Xu asked!"

Xu Wen was about to speak, when Lu Cheng walked out, saw this scene, and immediately interrupted.

He walked over quickly, grabbed Xu Wen's sleeve and said, "Master is waiting for you, I've been waiting for a long time, let's go in." ”

He pulled Xu Wen inside, and said as he walked, "Don't pay attention to him, this is a snob." I used to look at people with my nostrils, but now I put it like this. ”

He glanced at Xu Wen and couldn't help but show some envy, "You are okay now, the county has tried to get the head, my master praises you everywhere, and they also ......"

He didn't say any more, his expression slightly obscure.

Xu Wen glanced at him and asked, "Do you want to participate in this apprenticeship test?"

The apprenticeship test is held once a year, and there is no limit to the number of times you can participate as long as you meet the conditions. Lu Cheng didn't participate in it last year, but he can still participate in the county exam this year.

"When, of course, are you only allowed to pass the exam? I will definitely participate this year, maybe this year's county head will be mine!" Lu Cheng shouted in a low voice.

Xu Wen smiled and nodded, Lu Cheng was dissatisfied: "What do you mean, don't you believe that I can be admitted?"

"Of course not. I think it's good...... Let's do it together. ”

Xu Wen said very seriously, but Lu Cheng's momentum fell, he looked at Xu Wen, pouted and said, "Go back and help me take a look, and point me out." ”

"Okay. Xu Wen was a little surprised, but readily agreed.

Lu Cheng was obviously happy, and spoke to Xu Wen in a loud voice.

This time, he also had to go out with his master and Xu Wen, and he had learned a lot in the past six months, and he was definitely much better than when he took the exam last time. His master told him that Xu Wen was even more powerful than what he saw, and asking Xu Wen for advice was also reminded by his master.

Xu Wen listened all the way, and it was obvious that he could hear Lu Cheng's admiration for Master Yao.

Thinking about the beginning of the apprenticeship test, Lu Cheng obviously regretted why he didn't worship Lian Tianqing as a teacher in the first place.

This reminded Xu Wen of one thing he had always been curious about-

Why did Lian Tianqing come to a place like Xiaoheng Village and stay for five years?

There must be a coincidence in this, but Master Yao must also have something that should not be underestimated......

Xu Wen was quickly introduced into the main house by Lu Cheng and came to the outside of the main hall, and before he could walk in, he heard a voice from inside.

"It has been determined? The chief examiner of this government exam is Sun Boran?"
