Chu Xiao looked at Ye Zhi, and then spoke: "Ye Zhi, do you really want to say it so ruthlessly?"

Ye Zhi raised her eyebrows and did not speak.

Chu Xiao seemed to sigh weakly: "Okay, I won't force you, then we are friends after all, right?"

Speaking of this, Chu Xiao narrowed his eyes dangerously, and he had the feeling that if Ye Zhi even had to refute this, he would be angry.

Ye Zhi also knows the truth of moderation.

So at this time, she smiled lightly and said, "Naturally." ”

It's really rare to be able to make Chu Xiao take a step.

Chu Xiao opened his mouth and said, "Since we are friends, then don't avoid me in the future." ”

Ye Zhi nodded and said, "If you don't mention the previous things again, I will naturally not avoid it." ”

"If you have any trouble, you can come to me. Chu Xiao said with a smile.

I don't know why, when Ye Zhi heard this, she faintly felt a hint of foreboding.

It was as if she really needed Chu Xiao's help with something in trouble.

Ye Zhi raised her eyebrows, thinking to herself that she must have been overwhelmed.

Now that I have a small business, what do I need help with?

When Ye Zhi and Chu Xiao were separated, they only felt that the sky was high and the earth was wide, and the whole person was happy and relaxed, it was really tiring to get along with someone like Chu Xiao, and he had to keep his spirits up at all times, worrying that he was calculated.

When getting along with the Mu family brothers, Ye Zhi would not feel this way.

When Ye Zhi went back, after thinking about it, she decided not to let Chu Xiao affect her mood, so she continued to go grocery shopping.

Fish and meat are all necessary, Mu Qing has been working hard in it for the past few days, and he must make up for it when he comes back.

As for...... Something else? It's greens and eggs.

Ye Zhi bought a lot of things piecemeal, and then slowly walked back.

When she arrived home, Mu Qing had already returned.

In fact, normally, she should have picked up Mu Qing.

But today I was delayed by Chu Xiao for so long, and Mu Qing came out earlier than others, so ...... Mu Qing is already at home.

However, Mu Qing seemed to be very tired, drank a little medicine prepared by Mu An, and went back to sleep.

Ye Zhi began to prepare for cooking.

Dinner was placed in the courtyard.

In fact, there are many rooms, but Ye Zhi feels comfortable outside.

There are radish pork rib soup, braised pork, stir-fried liver tip, cucumber scrambled eggs, vegetarian fried bitter chrysanthemum, and of course, steamed fish.

Waiting for everything to be laid out, Mu Qing came out.

It can be seen that after Mu Qing slept for a while, he was full of energy.

He had just washed, but because he hadn't rested well in the past few days, his whole complexion looked a little yellow, but this didn't hinder Mu Qing's good mood.

Ye Zhi knew that after the exam, the most taboo thing was to ask how the exam was.

Because no matter what, it's a foregone conclusion.

There is no point in asking!

At this time, it is better to relax and make up for Mu Qing.

However, Mu Qing himself seemed very confident: "Ah Zhi, you can rest assured! There will be no problem!"

Ye Zhi looked at Mu Qing with satisfaction, she always knew that Mu Qing might be worse than her brothers in other aspects, but in terms of reading, he was really talented.

In fact, Mu Yun should also be a more talented kind.

However, Mu Yun himself probably has little interest in reading.

Even when the family was not short of money, Mu Yun did not propose to study.

Ye Zhi scooped a bowl of radish pork rib soup for Mu Qing, and put a little ginseng slices in it, which Mu Anrang put in.

Not much, and there will be no lack of refill.

Mu Qing took a sip and said, "It's delicious!"

No matter what Ye Zhi did, Mu Qing never skimped on his praise.

Seven days later, it will be the day of the list.

The family got up early to see the list.

There were a lot of people, but they squeezed in and waited to get in...... Ye Zhi started looking for it from above.

But after looking for a while, she didn't find Mu Qing.

Her heart was a little low, thinking that it was normal for this kind of eight-strand essay exam to have an element of luck.

So she kept looking, but waited until she found the bottom from the top, and found the top from the bottom...... Didn't find Mu Qing's name!

Because it was a test, this member was a person named Xie Jia.

At this time, the celebration of gongs and drums had already begun.

If you can try it, you can wait for the palace to try, and then you can go down to the top, and the outstanding person will be the champion!

Although Ye Zhi thinks that this kind of thing is fate, it may also depend on luck, after all, they are from a small place, and they don't know how good people in big places are, and it is normal to overestimate themselves.

But......

Mu Qing didn't even know how to try! This is something that Ye Zhi can hardly accept!

It's not that Ye Zhi is disappointed in Mu Qing, but that Mu Qing is taking the township test, the so-called township test, that is, when this dynasty is in the spring, this does not mean that the exam is in the township, but the entire province takes the exam together.

When Mu Qing was in the township examination, he took the first place in the province in the township examination!

Why did you get to the exam, but you didn't even have a chance to make the list?

Ye Zhi quietly glanced at Mu Qing's expression.

I saw Mu Qing's face pale, sweating profusely, with a look of surprise and disbelief, a pair of eyes fell on the list, searching up and down, but he still didn't see his name in the end!

"This can't be! it can't be!" Mu Qing muttered to himself.

When the people around heard Mu Qing's words, they all showed disapproving looks.

What's impossible? Isn't it just a failure?

Every year, there are people who think very highly of themselves and can't believe that they will fall off the list, and such people will have Mu Qing's performance, which is too normal!

Everyone is a little bit rare and weird.

Ye Zhi stretched out her hand and grabbed the corner of Mu Qing's clothes, and then said: "Mu Qing, don't worry, there must be something wrong here, even if there is no problem, we can come back next year, besides, studying is not the only way out......"

Ye Zhi didn't know how to comfort Mu Qing at this time, so she could only use this way.

Studying hard has always been Mu Qing's biggest spiritual pillar, and at this time, he suddenly knew that he had fallen off the list, and Mu Qing couldn't accept it.

He looked discouraged: "Ah Zhi, am I particularly useless?"

Ye Zhi said: "Mu Qing, let me ask you, when you took the township test, did you really understand the yuan?"

Mu Qing nodded: "Even if you have the name of Xie Yuan, you won't be able to be a big official in the future......

Ye Zhi said: "Then have you ever thought that you are Xie Yuan, those who may not be as good as you are on the list, why are you not on the list?"

Mu Qing hesitated for a moment: "For...... What?"
