Xiaoxing stepped forward, took off his shoes, sat next to Du Xiaoxi, reached out to his younger brother, and half-hugged Xiao Fanrong in his arms.

"Is my brother well-behaved? Do you miss your brother? ”

I haven't seen him for a month, Xiao Prosperity has long forgotten who Brother Jì is, and he reached out to grab the pink scarf on Xiao Xing's head.

"Huh?" was dodged by his brother, and Xiao Prosperity pulled his brother's body and was about to go up. Little Star deliberately took off the square scarf and stretched out his arms to tease him.

Watching the two brothers play, Du Xiaoxi smiled and said, "Wait for you to play again, go see grandma first." ”

The three of them went to the old lady, who was basking in the sun in the yard.

The warm sun was shining on her body, and the old lady, who was a little insomniac, was falling asleep with a small snoring.

Mama Gui began to be in poor health last year and was taken back to Shanshui County by her son to care for the elderly. Mama Zhao is getting older and aging fast, and now except for the occasional visit, the old lady is mostly in Uncle Liu's Zhuangzi to retire. Now only the younger Mama Gui is left in front of the old lady.

When Du Xiaoxi arrived with the child, Mama Gui was sitting next to the old lady dozing off. Du Xiaoxi saw that he planned to take the children back.

Xiao Prosperity looked at the big red quilt not far away and screamed, and motioned to Du Xiaoxi to go over and pick flowers.

The sleeping old lady and Mama Gui were suddenly awakened and looked over, and when they saw the little star standing next to Du Xiaoxi, the old lady stood up and walked over quickly.

"Obediently back! I've lost so much weight in just a month, and I'm so distressed that my grandmother is dead! The old lady touched the little star's baby fat face and sighed again and again.

Xiaoxing smiled and pulled the old lady's sleeve and coquettishly, "Grandma has also lost weight, can Xiaoxing eat well when she is not there?" ”

"Yes, yes."

The old lady pulled the little star and talked for a long time, and then reluctantly let her great-grandson go back after having dinner together at noon.

Liu Yao didn't come back until night, the little star had already fallen asleep, and Liu Yao ran to see the child before coming back.

Du Xiaoxi had already slept for a while, lazily holding the pillow and watching him wash his face and feet, "I originally said that when Xiaoxing came back, I would take him to Zhuangzi to play for two days, you can't be idle, we will go by ourselves!" ”

Liu Yao nodded, "I heard that Xishan Academy is very bitter than other academies, and the child finally came back for a trip and you can take him to have a good time." ”

He doesn't control his son Liu Yao too much, he feels that he is a failed person in his heart, and he follows other people's plans every step of the way. But he couldn't refute his uncle and father, so he put his hope on his son, hoping that his son could follow his favorite path freely and unrestricted.

"Well, then we're going! Next time, we'll go together. ”

"I don't know this, it feels like a pitiful little person who doesn't pay attention to it."

Du Xiaoxi poked Liu Yao's back and said jokingly: "It's not pitiful, we won't take you when our family of three goes out to play!" ”

Liu Yao was not annoyed, and Ren Du Xiaoxi laughed.

"Little Star said that they were going to have a riding and archery lesson in September next year, and the Master told us to prepare a foal for him, preferably untrained. It is necessary to raise it slowly from an early age, and after cultivating feelings, you can learn to ride and shoot quickly. ”

Liu Yao obviously didn't think of such a thing, and thought about it: "Gao Jingxiang's family has a good horse farm, and after being busy for a while, let's take the child to pick one." ”

"Okay, I'll talk to Little Star tomorrow."

On the second day, Du Xiaoxi took the two children to Uncle Liu's Peach Blossom Zhuangzi.

Along the way, there are rape flowers that bloom to the top, and when you enter the peach blossom village, there are pink buds hanging on the branches.

"My mother is so beautiful!" Xiaoxing folded a peach blossom and carefully inserted it into Du Xiaoxi's jet-black bun.

"The stars and my brother are also good-looking!" Du Xiaoxi brought the braided wreath to Xiao Xingxing, and the other one hung directly on Xiao Prosperity's neck.

Children are always rare to watch, and the little star has not yet reached the time when he can associate all kinds of beauties and poems when he looks at a peach blossom. The two little ones played for a while, and then they lost their spirits.

"Let's go back to Zhuangzi to rest, and when we go back, we pick peach blossoms to show grandma, okay?"

Little Star smiled and said yes.

The daughter-in-law of the housekeeper in Zhuangzi specially prepared small and cute peach blossom steamed buns and peach blossom cakes, although the taste is not as delicious as that made by the dim sum shop in Beijing, it also has a unique taste. Before leaving, Du Xiaoxi specially asked people to bring a lot of new tastes.

After lunch, because the two little ones couldn't sleep because they changed places, Du Xiaoxi accompanied the two of them to walk around the yard, and Xiao Prosperity pointed out where they went.

"Ahh Xiao Prosperity saw the little black dog and jumped excitedly in Du Xiaoxi's arms.

"Dog! It's a dog! ”

Du Xiaoxi pointed to the little black dog to teach his son.

Xiaoxing originally thought that the dog was good, but when he saw the heroic and handsome high-headed horse in the academy, Xiaoxing instantly became indifferent to the dog's hairy meat.

Xiao Prosperity was different, seeing that the puppy ran and patted Du Xiaoxi's shoulder and was about to follow, he cried directly when he saw that Du Xiaoxi didn't move.

"That's it! Go see the dogs! Seeing Xiao Fanfang's face flushed with tears, Du Xiaoxi could only call someone to get the puppy back.

As soon as the little girl on the Zhuangzi appeared holding the dog, Xiao Prosperity's eyes were fixed on the dog, pulling Du Xiaoxi and screaming to go down.

As soon as the little girl put the puppy on the ground, Xiao Prosperity immediately hugged her.

"Ahh Xiao Prosperity pulled the puppy's hind legs, and his saliva flowed out of his laughter.

"You're bold, not afraid it will bite you!" Du Xiaoxi saw the little guy go to catch the puppy, and immediately stood next to him to protect him for fear that the dog would bite the child.

The puppy is all black, probably the whole body of the puppy is fat, and the big black eyes and nose look particularly cute. was held by Xiao Prosperity and didn't struggle, and directly stretched out his pink little tongue and licked it on Xiao Xing's hand.

Xiao Prosperity giggled and kissed the puppy's hairy head several times.

"This is a dog, forget your mother!" Du Xiaoxi sighed at his son with sour eyes.

Xiaoxing looked at his brother's stupid appearance and comforted his mother, "Mother, I don't like puppies." ”

When he went home, Xiao Prosperity still held the dog and didn't let go, Du Xiaoxi asked people to take the dog away, and the little guy howled directly, pushing Du Xiaoxi with both hands and refusing to stop.

Eventually, Little Prosperity went home with his little black dog in his arms.

Xiao Prosperity's crying eyes were watery and black, and he sat in the seat holding the same black-eyed puppy. One person and one dog secretly glanced at Du Xiaoxi, then again, and then again.

"Just like that?"

Xiao Prosperity didn't understand what his mother said, and when he saw Du Xiaoxi coming over to see him, his teeth that immediately smiled were all exposed.

Du Xiaoxi touched his son's hair, and didn't care if he understood it or not, and said earnestly: "If you like it, you have to be good to it, don't ignore it if you don't like it in a few days." A puppy can only live for a few years or more than ten years, and it will be old before you grow up. It is just an inconspicuous passer-by in your life, but you occupy the whole of its life. So is it okay for a little boom to treat it? ”

Xiao Prosperity didn't understand, still holding the puppy and squinting and smiling.

Little Star felt something, "Mother, how many years can a horse live?" ”

"Twenty or thirty years, or a few years more, or a few years less

The little star sighed and was silent all the way home.

The next day, Xiaoxing had lunch at home, and Second Master Liu personally sent his grandson back to the academy.

……

Du Xiaoxi was a little worried.

The son has a puppy and forgets his mother.

The little black dog that day was brought back by Xiao Prosperity, and since then he has been holding him in his arms every day like a baby egg.

Du Xiaoxi asked the puppy to take a bath to get rid of lice, and Xiao Prosperity could complain about his mother's atrocities with tears in his eyes.

It's really the first in the world to have no conscience.

If her son has a dog, she doesn't need to play with her, Du Xiaoxi rarely has a free time to go to her brother's house, and her father-in-law called her before she stopped for two days.

After the New Year, Liu Erye gradually let Du Xiaoxi take over the family's business. Liu Erye is over fifty years old now, and the business in the south and north of the world is not as good as in previous years, if the Liu family has many heirs, the juniors in the family should have taken over, and his old man is at the helm at home and looks at the point.

However, the Liu family has too few children, and he is not at ease when he lets it go to his subordinates, so he can only hand over some unimportant business to his daughter-in-law. As for the shipping and field products related to the lifeblood of the Liu family, he must wait for his grandson to grow up and hand it over to them himself.

When Du Xiaoxi was overwhelmed by various ledgers, the sudden bad news blinded the family.

Liu Yao has an accident!

Liu Yao, who has always been kind to others, has an accident!

To be precise, Liu Yao was involved in the fraud of the imperial examination!

A few days ago, elite students from all over the world gathered in Kyoto to participate in the triennial palace examination. Ten years of hard study, once you heard the Son of Heaven, the greatest glory for the world's readers is nothing more than this.

The palace examination is divided into two sessions, the first one is in the Gongyuan, and those who have excellent results in the election can participate in the second palace examination presided over by the Son of Heaven himself and become a real protégé of the Son of Heaven.

Today is the last day of the first temple exam.

Originally, it was normal for a qiē to be true, and the students just waited for the results to come out and meet the saint.

Who knew that dozens of students went straight to the palace gate out of the examination room, knelt at the palace gate and said that the palace examination had been leaked, and asked the emperor to make the decision for them.

Fraud in the imperial examination has always been a big case of how many people's families have landed on their heads, and the forbidden army guarding the palace gate did not dare to delay and report it directly to the emperor.

After Emperor Jiayuan heard it, he directly asked the students to enter the palace, and since then he has uncovered the fraud in the imperial examination.

Back then, Du Xiaoxi reviewed for Liu Yao's exam, and specially found the test questions from previous years to integrate them and let Liu Yao take a look at them before the exam. This matter was passed through the Shangqing, and then a similar upgraded version of the pre-exam strategy used by the Juren Jinshi was slowly produced.

A few months ago, the palace exam was imminent, and the most popular ones were some mock test questions used in the palace exam.

There is no one in the world who can earn more money than women, children, and scholars. It is not a problem for nerds to cut down on food and clothing for a good book for a few years, and this kind of thing related to the future is naturally in line with others who have read it, and I must also take a look, otherwise I really encountered similar exam questions, and I must have it. Therefore, similar strategies and mock test papers have sold very well over the years.

In addition to the things that have been synthesized by the sour talents who have been tested for n years and have achieved nothing, there is more of a collection of questions published by the official Hanlin Academy Guozijian. In addition, it is not uncommon to sneak around various high-priced real questions among students.

This time, it was caused by the high price of the real questions!

These dozens of people either bought them themselves before the temple exam, or saw a set of high-priced real questions from their classmates. Originally, they were also in the spirit of doing more and practicing more, maybe they could really do it seriously with the idea of one or two. As a result, I entered the Tribute Academy, and after sending the test questions, I found that the questions in the palace examination were eighty percent similar to the real questions!

The people who bought that set of real questions are thinking weirdly now.

Fortunately, there are those who are full of confidence and write down the answers they have written once. There are people with deep thoughts, and they write down the answers as if they were the first time they encountered them. There are people who are panicked, and when they are concerned about the possible consequences of being exposed, they simply don't dare to write anything, so they just sit stupidly for six days and hand in the blank papers.

The dozens of people who went to the gate of the palace to sue the emperor were all smart and beautiful.

They know that if something is revealed, it will be affected, regardless of whether they have bought the test papers or not. simply self-denounced and ran directly to the emperor to show his innocence.

Emperor Jiayuan was so angry when he heard this, this was simply a smear on his face. Look at the real questions that the forbidden army found from the scholar that they have already done, and then look at the questions of the similar hall exams. Emperor Jiayuan angrily directly locked up all the people related to this palace test.

The high-ranking Confucian officials who were in charge of the questions were directly imprisoned, and Liu Yao, the little minions of the Hanlin Academy, were also imprisoned in the Hanlin Academy and could not be released.

Hearing that Liu Yao was locked up, everyone in the Liu family was anxious

Uncle Liu sits in the household department, and as the real power figure of the household department, he naturally cannot make any moves. Second Master Liu took Du Xiaoxi directly to Hanlin Academy.

At this time, the flies that had been surrounded by the forbidden army flew out of the Hanlin Academy, and they were all dead flies.

Liu Yao was responsible for proofreading the manuscripts of the old scholars who compiled the books on weekdays, and a few days ago, the officials in the Hanlin Academy, who were highly used by the emperor, were sent to various places to supervise the imperial examinations. The Hanlin Academy was understaffed, and Liu Yao, a strong laborer, was also taken by the old seniority to prepare for the palace examination. Originally, I thought that I would be able to rest well in the next few days, but who would have thought that there would be such a thing, they were all locked up in the Hanlin Courtyard and couldn't go back.

There are two kinds of people in the Hanlin Academy, the emperor believes in it, and the family has a good life.

Either way, the people of the forbidden army yamen will not offend lightly. It was just that they were surrounded by people, but they did not restrict their activities in the Hanlin Temple.

Liu Yao was sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard with a few scolding colleagues at this time, staring at the wall in a daze. I don't know when they will be released, will they be involved? How are the people in the family, will they be scared?

Outside the Hanlin Courtyard, Du Xiaoxi got out of the carriage and followed Liu Erye to the newly built tent.

The people sitting in the tent had already seen the sign on the Liu family's carriage and walked out, standing by the tent and watching them approach.

"Adults have worked hard, the old man and his daughter-in-law will send me some clothes and quilts, please make it convenient for you."

There are a lot of powerful children in the Hanlin Courtyard who are messing around and making a reputation, and I don't know how many waves have come to deliver things today. Several commanders of the forbidden army did not stop them, took the silver and smiled directly and asked people to wait at the door, and they immediately called people over. (To be continued.) )
