The sun is shining and the sky is cloudless.

The gazebo has long been cleaned, and several seats are placed with melons, fruits and tea. After a few people came over after freshening up, looking at the furnishings in the pavilion, a bright light burst out in the eyes of several people. They all glanced at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

This surprise is not only the food, but also the courtesy, I didn't expect the girl to treat them with such courtesy. Although they are only half-grown children, the older they are, the more they want to be treated like adults, rather than treating them as ignorant children, especially after reading and reading with Mr.

Seeing that Lan Xin didn't come over, several people didn't sit down, and they all stood respectfully outside the pavilion and waited. After Lan Xin came over, he smiled and beckoned them to take their seats. After a few people saluted, after Lan Xin, Pei Jieming and Master Wu sat down, several people sat down in turn.

"These melons and fruits are newly shipped from Zhuangzi, they are very fresh, everyone does not have to be restrained, they all taste them. Lan Xin greeted with a smile.

"Thank you, girl!" After everyone thanked them, they picked up the melon on the table and took a hard bite. The sweet juice fills the entire mouth and is very refreshing. No matter how old and old, they are still children. After eating delicious melons, everyone forgot to be reserved and couldn't help but speed up. After a while, two rounds of melons and fruits were replaced on the table.

Lan Xin smiled at the corner of his mouth, watching everyone eat happily. She looked at the few people in the banquet quietly, Meng Zhuo and Guo Xuan's food was more Sven, and Tong Xiaohu, although not as good as the two Sven, was not very rough and uncomfortable, and the two children of the Han family were slightly inferior. As for the other four children, they are a little reserved in comparison. After eating, Lan Xin chatted with them a few more words, and also understood the situation of several of them.

"Girl, is what you said just now serious?" After the children retreated, Lan Xin left Pei Jieming and Master Wu to drink tea in the pavilion. Benjamin Pei put down the teacup in his hand, pondered for a moment and asked.

"Naturally, it's true!" Lan Xin put down the teacup and said with a smile, "Why, sir, can you say that there is anything wrong with it?" I have just made a cursory investigation, and I think that their knowledge is also okay. Even if you can't pass the Tongsheng exam, it doesn't matter. It's just a matter of honing it. ”

Pei Jieming looked at Lan Xin's smiling appearance, and he was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say. His lips squirmed a few times, but finally he just nodded, lowered his eyes, and continued to drink tea.

However, the martial master on the other side opened his mouth and reminded, "The girl knows that whether you are admitted to the Wen Tongsheng or the Wu Tongsheng, you must be innocent." Slave persons are not eligible to participate. ”

"Oh, this?" Lan Xin said with a smile, his fingers gently rubbing the rim of the cup, "This is nothing. Since I plan to let them take the exam, I will naturally help them get rid of their slavery status. ”

The two of them looked at Lan Xin with wide eyes and stunned. Unexpectedly, Lan Xin's fluttering words solved the whole thing. "Girl, this freed slave wants to ······" Pei Jieming originally wanted to say that if he wanted to return to slavery, it would be difficult. But after thinking about it, how could a person as transparent as the Jade Girl not think of this?

From this point of view, when the jade girl asked him to come over to teach those children, she was not untargeted, and she was already prepared. No wonder he has always wondered that if a few children in Zhuangzi want them to read and hyphenate, they don't need to teach them the Four Books and Five Classics, which are what they need to learn in the imperial examination. It turned out that he wanted to give them a future. Now that I think about it, I am extremely glad that I have been teaching these children with all my heart, and I have no intention of fooling them.

"Girl's righteousness!" Thinking about this, Pei Jieming's heart sank, he waved his hand, and said in an excited tone.

Lan Xin leaned back in the chair and smiled at Pei Jieming, whose face was flushed with excitement. Playing with the teacup in his hand, he said with a light smile: "Mr. praises it." Mr. has been in the Yu family for so long, and he must know something about the Yu family. The Yu family can have today's situation, and it is also fortunate that these families are guarded. Wishing for a son to become a Chan is the expectation of every parent, giving these younger generations a bright future, and it can be regarded as repaying their kindness. ”

The meaning of Lan Xin's words is obvious, that is, if you can serve the Yu family in a down-to-earth manner, I will naturally not treat him badly. On the contrary, if she is not right-minded and tries to be unfavorable to the Yu family, don't blame her for turning her face ruthlessly and being ruthless!

After listening to Lan Xin's words, Pei Jieming and Master Wu both lowered their eyes and drank tea intently, not letting people see the complicated color in their eyes.

*******

A month later, Lan Xin stepped into the small courtyard of the second entrance again. The difference is that she has prepared an exam basket embroidered with Toad Palace for every child here. The basket contains the four treasures of pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and study, which have been all the items needed for the exam.

The children stared at the contents of the basket with bright eyes, baring their teeth and smiling incessantly, their mouths almost behind their ears. Some children carefully hold the things in their hands, for fear of breaking them. And some children can't help but reach out and touch the contents of the basket. They are happy about these things, but they are even happier that tomorrow they will take the township test, and if they pass the township test, they will be children. How can you not be excited?!

"Okay, everything has been sent to you, you can see it whenever you want. Today, Mr. made an exception to give you a vacation, so you can relax for a day and prepare for a satisfactory result in the exam tomorrow. Lan Xin looked at the smiling little faces and couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, thank you, girl. Everyone bowed down and saluted. With a smile on their faces, they walked lightly towards their residences.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" a woman in her thirties suddenly shouted, as the children turned to leave. Lan Xin's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the person who hurriedly walked over. I saw that she was of medium height, wearing a coarse cloth skirt that had been washed a little white. His jet-black hair was pinned behind his head with only a pair of silver hairpins, and there was a pair of bright eyes under the curved eyebrows like a crescent moon. The skin is fair, and the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned, giving people a sense of intimacy of smiling before speaking.

Maybe it's because I'm in a hurry, and my whole face is flushed, like the sunset on the horizon, and people can't take their eyes off.

Dong Xiu pulled the sleeve of Lan Xin's shirt and said firmly: "Girl, this is Sister-in-law Huang." ”
