Although she is just a woman's family, she also knows the story of Maxima and Bole, her youngest son has been a ghost since he was a child, and he seems to be naughty, but in fact he knows what he wants better than his eldest brother.

Now that her son has taken a fancy to this little boy, she can also see that this little boy is extraordinary, although she is worried that the child will have no one to take care of him at a young age and will go out to endure hardships, but the opportunity is rare, this is her child's choice, even if she is worried about it, she will still choose to support.

"An'er, you can follow Ji Xiaogongzi with peace of mind, your father and I have your eldest brother to take care of, you don't have to worry, when your brother is in high school, our family will go to the capital to find you, you kid is just messing around on weekdays, now follow Ji Xiaogongzi's side, but you have to restrain your temper and be obedient, don't do anything bastard."

After Xu Yuying explained that after getting Zhang Xi'an's assurance, she turned her head to look at Ji Junyue and blessed her powerfully: "Ji Xiaogongzi, An'er will ask you, since you have made your own decision, you can't still do things as a child, so if this child does something wrong, you can teach you a lesson." ”

Ji Junyue said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, sister-in-law Zhang rest assured, as long as this kid is obedient and doesn't do anything to betray the master, I guarantee that he will live to the end of his life." ”

Ji Junyue did not make any polite or false guarantees, but gave a guarantee that she could do it.

Zhang Wen, Xu Yuying, and Zhang Xitai are not fools, and because Xu Yuying has some literary relationships, the family is much more transparent than ordinary villagers, so they naturally heard Ji Junyue's words.

Since Zhang Xi'an chose to follow him, he naturally recognized him as the master, as long as he did not betray, then he guaranteed that nothing would happen to Zhang Xi'an, and even if Zhang Xi'an encountered any trouble, he could solve it.

But if Zhang Xi'an betrayed him, then the result would be a dead end.

This is guaranteed to be unexpected, although it is dangerous, it is also more reassuring, and the Zhang family also knows a little more about Ji Xiaogongzi.

After Ji Junyue and the three of them went to sleep, they explained to Zhang Xi'an in a serious way for everyone to gather around, so that since he chose to follow Ji Xiaogongzi, he would be loyal and never give birth to two hearts.

It was already late, but this person explained a lot, making the time even late, and after the Zhang family went to rest, it was dawn before they slept for two hours.

Because Ji Junyue planned to follow Zhang Xitai to see his results, a group of people had breakfast and left after cleaning up, and the owner of the carriage who lived in the village chief's house next to him left at dawn, so it happened to be staggered one after the other.

Ji Junyue and the three of them all traveled lightly, so the Zhang family didn't bring too many things to Zhang Xi'an, but just prepared some silver and a change of clothes for him, plus Zhang Xi'an was working with Ji Junyue, so naturally he would pay him silver every month, so Zhang Xi'an gave up some unnecessary things.

Zhang Wen borrowed an ox cart and pulled Zhang Xitai and Zhang Xi'an, while Ji Junyue and the three of them were still riding horses, and Black and White followed behind several people in a flash.

Ji Junyue wanted to try the speed of black and white, so she let Liang Yu drive the horse along the way, and let black and white follow, to Ji Junyue's satisfaction, although this black and white is a donkey, it can run faster than the horse under Liang Yu's seat, and it can be used as a thousand-mile horse mount.

After Ji Junyue and his party entered the city, they went straight to the list to see the list, and the place where the list was put was already crowded with people at this time, Zhang Xi'an got into the crowd with a small three-by-two, and carefully read the list, from the beginning to the end, but did not find the name he was looking for......

Zhang Xi'an frowned, and then looked at the side from the beginning, there was still no Zhang Xitai's name, so far, he naturally didn't feel that he was wrong, then there is really no brother's name on this list, and his brother actually fell off the list! How is this possible?!

"An'er...... How's An'er? Did you find your eldest brother's name? ”

Outside the crowd, Zhang Wen probed his brain and shouted at the crowd, Zhang Xi'an heard his father's name, and carefully determined the names on the list, and walked out with a trace of solemnity in his eyebrows.

Zhang Wen and Zhang Xitai hurriedly greeted him and asked, "How is it?" Did An'er see your eldest brother's name? ”

After Zhang Wen finished asking, Zhang Xitai found that Zhang Xi'an's expression was wrong, and he suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, and said loudly: "What's wrong with An'er?" ”

Ji Junyue, who was next to her, saw Zhang Xi'an's expression, raised her eyes and glanced at the crowded crowd in front of her, the source force moved slightly, and the name on the list in front of her entered her eyes.

There is no name of Zhang Xitai......

Ji Junyue raised her eyebrows slightly, yesterday in Zhang's house she had seen Zhang Xitai's calligraphy and paintings and strategies, although she did not know the content of the ancient imperial examination, but with Zhang Xitai's own self-feeling, and his personality, it should be no problem to take the exam, but now she actually fell off the list, this thing is unexpectedly a little unusual.

Ji Junyue looked at Feng Ye and explained in a low voice: "Go check what's going on." ”

Feng Ye naturally knew Ji Junyue's doubts, so she nodded in response and disappeared into the crowd.

Zhang Xi'an next to him saw that his father and brother were looking at him nervously, and he was really a little speechless, but in the end he gritted his teeth and said decisively: "There is no brother's name on the list." ”

"What?!" Zhang Wen's eyes widened, and he looked at his youngest son with surprise.

You must know that he is very confident in Tai'er's literary talent, in his heart, let alone lifting people, even Xie Yuan is no problem, how can he fall off the list? !

Zhang Xitai was also stunned suddenly, and looked at Zhang Xi'an in a daze: "Fall...... Downcast? ”

Obviously, Zhang Xitai was also a little incredulous, although he knew that there were people outside the world, but he could feel the result of the exam, and he clearly felt that even if he didn't win the solution this time, it would be easy to lift someone, and it was already a certainty.

Can...... How did you fall off the list......

Zhang Xi'an also felt that something was wrong, and looked at his brother's stunned place, grabbed his hand and said with a gloomy face: "Let's go, let's go to the invigilator to ask clearly!" ”

Zhang Xi'an said and pulled Zhang Xitai towards the yamen, and was pulled by Zhang Xi'an like this, Zhang Xitai also woke up from his daze, and also felt that this thing was wrong, no matter how he said it, he couldn't fall off the list, so he didn't struggle, and let his younger brother drag him forward.

It's just that before the two of them could take a few steps, they were stopped by Ji Junyue.

Ji Junyue glanced at the two of them and said: "Since there is a problem hidden in this matter, you go to the yamen so openly, not only will you not be able to ask anything, I am afraid that you will walk in and be carried out in the end." ”

Zhang Xi'an looked at Ji Junyue's eyes and turned his eyes, stopped obediently, and bowed respectfully to Ji Junyue.

"Please also ask the master for some advice."

Seeing Zhang Xi'an's such a calm and respectful appearance, Zhang Xitai knew what he had in mind, but it was right to think about it, Ji Xiaogongzi already gave people a feeling that he was either rich or expensive, and since he opened his mouth, maybe there was something he could do.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xitai didn't twist, and followed his younger brother to bow respectfully to Ji Junyue and said: "I will definitely be on the list, there must be something strange in this matter, and I hope that Ji Xiaogongzi can help." ”

Ji Junyue glanced at Zhang Xi'an with a smile, this kid is really clever enough, but this clever use on himself is a little lacking in lessons.

"Ben Gongzi does like smart people, but I don't like that cleverness to be used on Ben Gongzi, understand?"

Zhang Xi'an raised his head and met the pair of narrow and black phoenix eyes, which obviously rippled with the demonic luster of the soul dementor, but they gave people a kind of delusional and unpredictable danger and mystery, which immediately made Zhang Xi'an's heartbeat skip a beat.

Not amazed, but frightened.

He felt that this little boy was not simple from the beginning, but no matter how simple it was, he was only a little boy from a powerful family, and he was a little smart and had seen the world, and it was not until this moment that he faced this unpredictable pair of phoenix eyes, and he knew that he was wrong.

This is not only a noble son, but also a master who is unpredictable and dangerous, and he cannot be allowed to calculate unbridledly......

Zhang Xi'an unconsciously felt a chill on his back, he couldn't tell why, in short, at this moment, he just felt that the master he had just recognized was too terrible.

didn't dare to be cautious anymore, Zhang Xi'an restrained all the publicity and calculations, and bowed to Ji Junyue again with respect and surrender from his heart for the first time.

"Please forgive me, I promise not to make an example."

Ji Junyue didn't ask his subordinates to call themselves slaves, and even directly asked people to call themselves me, but Feng Ye and Liang Yu stubbornly claimed to be subordinates, and only occasionally called themselves me when they were excited or in an emergency.

Therefore, although Ji Junyue agreed to let Zhang Xi'an follow him, he is not qualified to be her subordinate now, so he can only call himself.

Zhang Xitai listened to his younger brother's serious words, as an elder brother, how could he not hear the sincerity, a trace of surprise crossed his eyes, although his younger brother followed Ji Xiaogongzi's side, but he never thought that the younger brother would be so quick to act as a subordinate, and now on the first day, he surrendered from his heart, which is really surprising.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xitai looked at Ji Junyue thoughtfully, but at this time, the deep meaning in Ji Junyue's eyes had been put away, and she had returned to a comfortable and obedient appearance.

Ji Junyue saw Zhang Xi'an put away the claws on his body, and didn't say more, taming such a cunning and changeable horse is not overnight, you have to crush all his strengths and advantages, and completely defeat him in his field in order to subdue people.

It just so happens that Ji Junyue is very good at this.

"Follow me."

Ji Junyue took the lead in leaving after dropping a sentence, and the three members of the Zhang family glanced at each other and followed decisively.

Then Ji Junyue and his entourage went directly to the best restaurant in Songzhi City, Minglanju.

When Xiao Er came up, Ji Junyue said directly: "Prepare six excellent guest rooms and a dining room, and each of the special dishes of our restaurant will be served." ”

Ji Junyue said that Liang Yu had lost a hundred taels of silver tickets to Xiao Er, Xiao Er had already thought that she was a rich and noble young man when he saw Ji Junyue, and when he saw Liang Yu handing over one hundred taels of silver tickets so neatly, he respectfully invited the group to the best room, without the slightest intention of saving money for Ji Junyue and others.

Since Minglanju is the best restaurant in Songzhi City, it is impossible to have no accommodation, although Minglanju is only three floors from the front, and the second and third floors are wings for dining, but behind Minglanju is a number of small courtyards that are directly connected, specially for guests to stay overnight.

Now that the list is being released, this Songzhi City is also a provincial capital, and all the talents of the surrounding cities naturally gather in Songzhi City, and the best restaurants in Songzhi City have also become lively, and it has become a gathering place for many literati and scholars.

But fortunately, because Minglanju is a high consumption, although there are many people who dine, there are not many people who live, at least not every talented person who comes to Songzhi City has money to live, so Ji Junyue and his party can live in unimpeded.

The three members of the Zhang family followed behind Ji Junyue with some planning, and when they heard that she asked for a room, they knew that the other three rooms were for their father and son, and they were about to say no, so they listened to Liang Yudao.

"The matter of falling off the list is not something that can be solved in one day, so I have to stay in the city tonight."

Hearing this, the three members of the Zhang family couldn't say more, so they could only secretly think that they would have to ask about the accommodation fee for a while, they had all heard of Minglanju, and it was best to wait for the three of them to find a cheaper one for a night, and they couldn't let the little boy break the bank.
