Zhao Mo's birthday has just passed, and the current examination has begun. Qin Jian, Wang Fulin, Yu Chengzhi and Hu Kun, as well as Qin Jinhua's fiancé Tang Han, were all about to end up in the court, and they all went to the tribute court.

Calculating the time, they are almost done with the exam.

In order to ensure that these movers can prepare for the exam quietly, when Wu Shaoying decided to get married, he specially moved the date to after the end of the exam. Otherwise, he was also worried that these juniors and juniors would drink too much or go crazy because of attending his wedding banquet, so that they would not be in good spirits and would not be able to take the exam in the best mental state.

However, he probably thought too much, and the few moves that were about to end, except for Qin Jian, who was young, was still the first time, and he was a little unconfident in his own knowledge, so he was a little nervous, and everyone else was very calm. Eat when you should eat, sleep when you should sleep, and never feel nervous at all. When they got out of the examination room, a few older lifters got into the carriage and fell asleep. Tang Han looked a little haggard, but he could still politely salute everyone and say goodbye, and then got into his carriage and left. Only Qin Jian had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, his face was pale, and he was weakly supported by the scholar, hurriedly said hello to Zhao Mo who was driving, and then climbed into the carriage, and then closed his eyes all the way home, unable to sleep at all, but he didn't have the energy to talk to Zhao Mo.

Qin Jian has really suffered a big crime in the past few days. He was unlucky, and was placed in a less than ideal location, not too far from the hut, so the smell was not very good. Even before the exam, Qin Hanzhen had the idea to let him and Wang Fulin take a few mock exams at home under the supervision of Qin Bai and Wu Shaoying, that is, to build a few examination booths in the garden to let them adapt to it, so as not to cause abnormal performance because they were not used to the environment in the examination shed. Qin Jian felt that he had adapted well at that time, and he had survived the township test smoothly, but he never expected that his luck would be so bad that he would suffer such a blow during the examination. Fortunately, his location was not on the edge of the thatched house, and he carried incense with him, so he could barely resist one or two. Otherwise, he may faint in the examination booth because he can't eat and sleep in the past few days, and what else will he take the exam?

When he returned home, he washed three buckets of hot water from head to toe before he felt that he had washed away the smell on his body. When he changed into clean new clothes and returned to the front to enjoy the healthy and restrained food specially prepared by his family, he was still complaining: "In the first few days, I was barely able to support it. Fortunately, the topic is not too difficult, and some of the third uncles have asked me to do similar articles, and I feel that I have answered them well. It's just that the smell outside is really bad, I don't eat well, I don't sleep much at night, I just feel cold and hungry, very uncomfortable, dizzy, I don't know what I wrote when I answer the question. I just kept in mind what the third uncle and ancestor taught, and barely put together an article, and I can probably meet people, but it is impossible to say that it is brilliant. He sighed, regretful, "I'm afraid I'm going to fall behind in this subject." ”

Qin Hanzhen came over to see his cousin today, and when he heard this, he comforted him with a smile: "What does it matter? Brother Lobby is still the first time to end up, with your age, even if you fall behind, it doesn't matter." The champions of the past dynasties, the eyes of the list, and the flowers of the flowers, I don't know how many times I have taken the exam before high school, and how many times I have fallen on the list. If this subject is not good, the next subject will naturally be more certain. ”

Xu Shi also nodded slowly: "The third girl is a good point. Who dares to say that he will definitely be able to go to high school for the first time? Brother Zheng'er's father also failed twice before he was successful. If Brother Zheng didn't want to keep filial piety, even if he participated in this subject, he wouldn't dare to say that he would definitely be able to go to high school, and his ranking would be even more difficult to say. Brother Jian, you are young, until the past few years, you have not seriously studied with your third uncle, you have never met a good gentleman before, and you don't like to work hard in your homework. You don't have to think too much about it, just go back to the house and get some rest for two days. When the list comes out, if you really don't win, you can study hard for another three years. ”

Yao was smiling on his face, but he was already very unhappy in his heart. Her son is so outstanding, he is already a lifter before he reaches the crown, where is he worse than Xu Zheng? Xu Zheng is just a lifter! He is still older than Qin Jian! What else does her mother-in-law say that Qin Jian has never met a good gentleman before, and she doesn't care about her homework, Qin Jian used to learn from the Yao family, who is this reflecting? Although the Mr. of the Yao family cannot be compared with the third uncle, Qin Bai, he is also a scholar in the Yao family who has made great achievements! Teaching Qin Jian, who was only a child at the time, is more than enough. If the mother-in-law is not satisfied, why don't you invite a good gentleman to Qin Jianzheng? Xu Zheng also worshipped a famous teacher! The mother-in-law didn't invite a famous teacher to her grandson, and complained that the gentleman was not good? If it weren't for the husband of the Yao family to lay the foundation for Qin Jian, even if Qin Jian worshipped the third uncle Qin Bai as a teacher, he wouldn't be able to take the exam?!

Yao felt that her mother-in-law was taking the opportunity to belittle her mother's family, and with a smile on her face, she also comforted her son: "Your grandmother is right, the results of this subject have not yet come out, so what do you say if you don't pass the test, what if you pass the test? Wouldn't that be frustrated in vain? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you really fail the test, then what's the matter? If you take the next subject with Brother Zheng'er, you can still have a companion." When you go back, you should think about the situation during the exam, and if there is anything you need to pay attention to, make a list, and when Brother Zheng'er is full of filial piety and comes to ask you for advice, tell him that he knows. You are the one who has been on the field once, and you have more experience than Brother Zheng, and cousins must also help each other. ”

The smile on Xu's face faded by two points. Qin Zhonghai glanced at his wife dissatisfied, Yao turned his head with a smile and gave his son a piece of meat: "Eat more, and drink another bowl of chicken soup." I specially made this chicken soup stew all morning, which is the most nourishing for the body. When you're done eating, go back to the house and get some sleep, so you don't have to think about anything. The next time, I hurt my vitality, and I don't know when I will be able to make it back. ”

Qin Jian was so smart, how could he not hear the turbulent tide of conversation between his grandmother and his mother? But what else could he say at this time? He had to smile and pretend to be stupid, bury his head in eating, and occasionally secretly exchange glances with his younger siblings.

Qin Jinhua also heard it, and tried hard to pull Qin Hanzhen to speak, wanting to liven up the atmosphere: "Wang Juren, they don't know how they did in the exam?

Qin Hanzhen smiled and said, "It's good." Before I came here, I saw them get out of the carriage in a daze, go back to their rooms, freshen up briefly, eat the noodle soup that my grandmother had brought them, and then fall asleep again. My grandfather said, don't disturb them, just wake them up at dinner. Someone from the Wang family came to see it, saying that Uncle Wang lived in our house, and their master was very relieved, so he sent Uncle Wang's remaining luggage over when he turned around. ”

This old man refers to Wang Fuzhong. What this master is best at is to be alone, I am afraid that he would have packed up his baggage a long time ago, and left his house under the pretext of being on duty in the palace. In the past few days, there have been some rumors in Beijing, some say that the imperial court is going to reorganize the army, and some say that Liaodong may have to change a group of officials, and some people mention that the household department seems to be planning to check the accounts, and there are also rumors that the East Palace is going to be drafted, and there are people everywhere who are inquiring about the news. Wang Fuzhong, the lord of the palace who had to be used in front of the emperor, naturally had people come to the door. He can't divulge the secrets of the forbidden school, so what else can he do but avoid it? It's just that his younger brother, brother-in-law, and junior brother, who had just finished participating in the Spring Festival, could no longer live in the Wang family, and could only move to the Yongjiahou Mansion.

But what happened to Wang Fuzhong seems to be envied by others. Yao couldn't help but ask Qin Hanzhen: "The gossip outside is flying everywhere, and I don't know which ones are true and which ones are false. Wang Shizhong is so solemn, is there really something wrong? It doesn't matter where Liaodong is, right? Will it implicate the king of Suning County?"

Qin Hanzhen replied with a smile: "No, don't worry, second uncle." ”

But Yao's is not very relieved, in recent years, she has not let her son befriend Zhao Mo, in case Zhao Mo is in trouble and her son is implicated, then it will be too late for her to cry.

She wanted to ask more clearly, but Qin Jian interrupted her: "Mother, don't worry about it, Fang Cai Guanglu personally drove to the gate of the Gongyuan to pick me up, put me at the door, and then continued to send Wang Juren and them back to Xifu." If he's really in trouble, where is the leisure?"

He turned to Qin Hanzhen: "I heard that after the third sister's birthday, he will go back to the fiefdom?"

Qin Hanzhen smiled and nodded: "Yes, spring sowing has arrived, and he has to keep an eye on this matter in the fiefdom every year, and this year will naturally be no exception." ”

Qin Jian nodded: "This is as it should be." He is still continuing to control salt in Zhuangzi, right? This thing has been done well, and it is a matter of merit for a thousand years. As long as he doesn't commit a big sin in the future, he doesn't have to worry about it in this life. ”

Qin Hanzhen pursed his lips and smiled: "Brother Cheng said it." By the way, he also asked me to tell you that the day after tomorrow, he will be in Qianweiju to be the east, and invite you and Young Master Tang and others to have a banquet, saying that it is to make amends for not being able to send you into the venue before. ”

Qin Jian smiled: "So solemn? Actually, I didn't pay attention to it, but it's rare to have a chance to knock on his bamboo bar, how can I miss it?"

Yao wanted to say that it was not too late to ask his son to wait and see how the wind was outside, and then go to Zhao Mo's banquet. Okay, what is Zhao Mo going to do when he goes back to the fiefdom? Isn't it really because he annoyed the emperor? He has been in the capital for a year, and the spring sowing is a trivial matter, and it can be handed over to the magistrate, where can he use him to run in person? But this was said in front of Qin Hanzhen, there were some taboos, Qin Hanzhen was still Zhao Mo's fiancée. Yao planned to remind his son privately later, so he kept his mouth shut.

Qin Jian didn't know what her mother was thinking, and asked about Wu Shaoying's wedding with concern: "It's almost ready, right? If there's anything missing, just tell our family. ”

Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "Brother Lobby, don't worry, my grandfather and grandmother are watching, my father saw Tian'er running to his cousin's house, and he was very concerned about the wedding, and with Cousin Zhao as the backing, what else could he lack? ”

Qin Jinhua tilted his head and looked at her with a smile: "Before eating the wedding wine, we still have to eat the third sister's birthday wine." ”
