On the first day, Mrs. Chen and Wen Xiaomiao stayed outside the Gongyuan for a whole day, in fact, there was nothing to do with them, but Mrs. Chen just wanted to be closer to her son, and the next day Mrs. Chen still wanted to go, but both Master Chen and Wen Xiaomiao disagreed, and the most unfortunate thing was that Wen Xiaomiao himself stayed outside the Gongyuan for another day, and on the third day, Mr. Chen asked Wen Xiaomiao not to go in the morning, and waited for the evening when the examination room was open before she went, Wen Xiaomiao insisted on going.

Near the evening, Master Chen and Mrs. Chen also came, and the people inside walked out of the tribute courtyard one after another, each with different expressions, Wen Xiaomiao saw Chen Mu at a glance, quickly ran forward, and took the package and bedding roll in Chen Mu's hand.

Chen Mu's face was a little tired.

"Shepherd, how's it going? Tired, right? Mrs. Chen touched Chen Mu's face distressedly, "I've lost weight, hurry back and have a good meal." ”

"Mother, it's okay, but I didn't sleep well." Chen Mu's mood was not very high.

"Let's go back to the inn first." Master Chen saw that Chen Mu didn't seem to have done well in the exam, so he didn't ask anything, and asked everyone to go back to the inn first.

Everyone returned to the inn, Chen Mu washed his face, Wen Xiaomiao took out a set of clean clothes for Chen Mu to change into, and everyone found an empty table to sit down to eat.

"Dad, the child didn't do well in the exam this time, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." Chen Mu thought about it for a while, but said it before eating.

"Originally, my father didn't have much hope, I said it a long time ago, this time I came to see for a long time, and it also made you understand the truth that there are mountains outside the mountains and there are heavens outside the sky, go back and continue to study hard, and let's come back next time in three years, let's eat." Master Chen

"Come, Chen Mu, order your favorite braised pork, I believe you will eventually be the top student in high school." Wen Xiaomiao sandwiched the braised pork into Chen Mu's bowl.

"I haven't passed the test yet, what kind of champion is it, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." Chen Mu Leng Wen Xiao Miao.

"I mean sooner or later you'll be the winner, and I believe you." Wen Xiaomiao explained crampedly.

"Eat it, it tastes different when it's cold." Mrs. Chen diverted the conversation.

Chen Mu was in a bad mood, and Wen Xiaomiao didn't dare to speak more.

It will take a while for the trial list, Master Chen and Mrs. Chen decided to go back to Wancheng County first, Master Chen is still thinking about the flowers and plants that are raised in the house for the winter, let Chen Mu and Wen Xiaomiao stay in the capital first, if they win the tribute, they will send them a letter, and then they will come to the capital again, and Wen Xiaomiao will be responsible for taking care of Chen Mu here.

Usually Chen Mu is studying in the inn, because he doesn't know if Lu Dao has won the tribute, and he is not embarrassed to go to Cheng's Mansion to visit Cheng Muping, when the weather is good, Chen Mu goes out for a walk, Wen Xiaomiao wants to follow, Chen Mu is unwilling, but Wen Xiaomiao follows with a dead face, Chen Mu has no choice, so he doesn't see her.

Finally stayed up until mid-April to release the list, Chen Mu really failed, Chen Mu didn't do anything that day, just drank with his head bored, Wen Xiaomiao silently packed his luggage, Chen Mu had never drunk so much wine, the wine was good and he didn't go crazy, he just lay on the ground in the middle of the night and vomited, and when he vomited enough, Wen Xiaomiao was single and thin, and finally got Chen Mu to bed, tired and sweaty, and cleaned up again, and when she fell asleep, it was half the night.

Early in the morning, Wen Xiaomiao went to hire a carriage, negotiated the price, and carried all the luggage into the car alone, and then woke up Chen Mu, because Chen Mu didn't eat breakfast, and he was ready to eat and left Chen Mu to eat in the car, Chen Mu was still very depressed, and he lay down again after eating, and Wen Xiaomiao didn't say much.

"Wen Xiaomiao, I have a headache." Chen Mu said sullenly.

"I'll press your head." Wen Xiaomiao moved to Chen Mu's side, put Chen Mu's head on her lap, and pressed Chen Mu's head and temples.

"Will you look down on me?" Chen Mu has always been smooth, and it was the first time he encountered such a big blow.

"How can it be, didn't the master say that it is great to lift people at your age, how can the tributes be so easy to test, if they are good, maybe the city is full of piles of tributes, I haven't heard of anyone around our neighborhood who is a tribute."

"Don't tell my mom and dad about my drinking." Chen Mu was afraid that Wen Xiaomiao would be too talkative.

"yes, I see." Wen Xiaomiao nodded.

At this time, Chen Mu looked a little weak, and a softness appeared on his face that had never been shown in front of Wen Xiaomiao, which made Wen Xiaomiao burst out with strong maternal love, and slowly stroked Chen Mu's black hair, and Chen Mu fell asleep again.

When he returned home, Chen Mu stayed at home for three days, saving him from going out and someone asked him about the results of the examination, Chen Mu was very unhappy, he came back before the palace examination, and it was clear that he had failed the examination, and asked.
