After the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, as the garden gradually emptied, Chen Younian and others either returned to the Zhejiang Guild Hall, or went to the inn, and some had already rented a house outside.

After all, the test is close at hand, once it is not in the middle of the three years, no one can afford to delay, Shaoxing Mansion has such an unlucky one in the Hongzhi years, the first time the exam accidentally burned the exam paper, the second time he broke his leg, and the third and fourth time his parents passed away one after another......

But when everyone left, not to mention the rest, they all carried a lot of cooked food, and a few shameless people also let their entourage and scholars come back from time to time to play the autumn breeze, and when they encountered pastries and snacks baked, they couldn't wait to roll them all away.

Zhang Juzheng also went back, and the brothers Sun Yan and Sun Ling were locked up at home, and they also had to prepare for the exam in two months, because their grandmother had passed away, and they had already missed a subject.

However, there was one person who stayed, Xu Wei.

Since the high school Zhejiang Township tried to solve the Yuan, Xu Wei's depression in his heart has dissipated, and he has become a lot more cheerful, although his nature remains the same, and his speech is still very sour, but he rarely hurts people again.

Of course, Qian Yuan is a special case.

"I remember that you used to be very disdainful of Huating." Xu Wei snorted, "So flattering...... Is it possible to be seriously ill and dying? ”

Qian Yuan has also officially started to prepare for the exam, getting up early every day to read and practice calligraphy, doing an eight-share essay in the morning, afternoon, and evening, and going to an old Hanlin's house for advice at other times, and only occasionally coming to the kitchen, just bumping into Xu Wei, who was hungry to find food.

"If you Xu Wenchang die early, you will definitely die on this mouth." Qian Yuan said expressionlessly: "This kind of thing is also what you can say!?" ”

"Are you scared?"

"If you have the courage to go to Yan Shifan and ask."

"You're stupid to me!"

The two of them are used to this kind of bickering, and if they meet without stabbing each other a few words, neither of them is comfortable...... It's really cheap, no wonder Chen Younian solemnly let Xu Wei stay, this guy didn't object, and he was called a confidant if he smelled alike.

After a while, when the newly baked pastries came out, Xu Wei immediately stopped his mouth, his mouth was not stopped except sleeping, either eating, drinking or looking for trouble.

"It's too hot, wait."

Xu Wei withdrew his hand and said casually: "You Qian Zhancai now represent not only yourself, but also Xu Huating...... Have you thought about it? ”

"You mean my uncle?"

"Knowingly asked." Xu Wei rolled his eyes, "I, Xu someone, used to be Hu Ruzhen's staff, and you Qian Zhancai also had an intersection with Hu Ruzhen, and even the trend of the southeast war situation has a lot to do with you." ”

"It's okay, I'm in the emperor's heart."

"Quite confident, aren't you afraid that Yan Shifan will come to you?"

"What is he looking for me for?"

“……”

Qian Yuan smiled and said, "Who told you...... I leaned on Xu Huating? ”

Xu Wei tilted his head thoughtfully and thought for a while, "Also, you are a slippery ...... In such a situation, you will definitely not bet. ”

No, I've already placed a bet...... Well, my uncle actually helped me do it.

Qian Yuan didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, Nunu mouthed, "Try it." ”

"You eat first."

"I don't care, it's a big deal to go to the door and call Yang Wen to try it."

Xu Wei hesitated for a moment and picked up a pastry and put it in his mouth, it may be that the several novelty snacks made by Qian Yuan before were well received and gave him confidence.

"How?"

Xu Wei pursed his lips, "Yes, it's quite sweet." ”

Qian Yuan was silent for three seconds, "Okay, it seems that there is a problem with the formula, go back and try again." ”

"Phew!" Xu Wei squirted out, hatefully scolding: "You are really sticky and hairier than a monkey!" ”

"That's because you're stupid, this pastry is salty, you can eat it sweet?"

"Then you're going to die if you eat it?"

Qian Yuan sneered and was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, when suddenly his eyes flashed, and he grabbed a pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, "Uh...... It's hard enough...... Go ahead and get rid of the one outside. ”

Xu Wei was stunned, and when he turned around, he saw Yang Wen at the door of the kitchen, and a young man was there.

That's Gu Jiuxi, what a guy who doesn't know what to call it...... It's only been three or four days, and it's the second time I've come to Suiyuan, and I've been persuading Qian Yuan that good horses don't eat back grass, and I'm not afraid that the Xu family will know that he will slap him to death in the future, even if Qian Yuan is a bad horse, then my daughter-in-law is grass?

Qian Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to it, he just thought about the recipe, the oil and salt should be in moderation, how could there be a bitter taste...... Could it be that the salt is not pure enough?

It has been delivered for four consecutive days, from breakfast to lunch, from dinner to supper, Qian Yuan is not as close to Xu Wei as Xu Wei thought, he just wants to give a hint.

I know you, come out and talk.

Therefore, many of the dishes sent by Qian Yuan were only available in later generations, such as the boiled fish sent last night...... I feel distressed, I used a lot of chili peppers!

I don't know what flavor Miss Xu Si likes, some girls like spicy food, but more girls don't dare to eat spicy food for skin care, or make a puff...... It's a bit difficult.

Qian Yuan was outside the object when he suddenly interrupted his thoughts with a crying and scolding voice.

What's going on?

Xu Wei clapped his hands and walked in, with a nonchalant expression, "Send it away." ”

"How?"

"It's nothing, ask him which province he is the exam-taker." Xu Wei said proudly...... God is pitiful, Xu Wei also has such a scared day, if it weren't for the yin and yang, this guy would not be able to pass the test in his life.

"That's it?"

He said he hadn't won the lift yet, so I continued to ask...... is not a showman, he hasn't even passed the county test, and he can't be counted as a child. Xu Wei said casually: "Then he went on to ask his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather ......."

Qian Yuan sighed, saying that he and the Gu family still had old ...... He also wanted to know that what Xu Wei said was an understatement, but the words must be bitter and mean, otherwise Gu Jiuxi would not have left crying.

Anyway, it's an insignificant character, and he definitely wants to tear his face with the Gu family...... This is a horizontal knife to snatch love, Qian Yuan doesn't care if Gu Jiuxi is crying or laughing, he is going to try it again, if it doesn't work, he will go back, and there is still an article in the afternoon that has not been written.

Qian Yuan was busy here, and Xu Wei came up with ideas on the side, and actually wanted to add some sugar and chili peppers to the pastry recipe......

"You shit!" Qian Yuan glanced at the door, "I can't do a little thing well, and I owe it to me for swallowing such a bitter snack!" ”

"Hurry up and get away!"

Gu Jiuxi appeared at the door again, and the appearance of pear blossoms with rain made Xu Wei furious, "This time he has to scold him so much that he wants to commit suicide by jumping into the river!" ”

Before Xu Wei reached the door, a series of Shaoxing local dialects had already erupted, occasionally mixed with a few official words that the other party could understand...... This is to let the other party know what they are scolding.

The middle-aged gentleman beside Gu Jiuxi's face was a little ugly, and he wanted to interrupt twice in a row, but Xu Wei blocked him, and finally had to shout loudly, "Zhancai, Qian Zhancai!" ”

Qian Yuan, who had flour, oil and all kinds of messy raw materials on his hands, appeared at the door, and tilted his head and said to Xu Wei: "Eat dim sum all day long, I think you are a piece of dim sum...... Waste snacks! ”

Xu Wei's face turned red, and he glared at the middle-aged scholar viciously, and was about to make a wave of ruthlessness, when suddenly a hand slammed into his mouth.

"Wanghu Gong......" finally saw Xu She's Qian Yuan and laughed dryly, "Yang Wen's house, he doesn't report it, it's really not decent!" ”

"Forget it, I didn't hand over the post."

"Oh, yes, yes." Qian Yuan nodded again and again, after all, even Yan Shifan was reluctant to come to Suiyuan, and it was reasonable that Xu Shi didn't want to make a big splash.

"After all, it's a fellow countryman, so why not." Xu Shi frowned and glanced at Gu Jiuxi beside him, this kid's eyes were shining brightly, and he looked very pitiful.

"None of my business." Qian Yuan shook the pot as soon as possible.

"You...... You...... Qian Zhancai, you are shameless......"

This sentence was not scolded by Gu Jiuxi, but Xu Wei, no matter whether the baked dim sum is unpalatable or delicious, it can always be eaten, and the raw materials that have not been baked yet...... Who really eats who knows, Qian Yuan was in a hurry and covered Xu Wei's mouth with his hand stained with messy raw materials, and this guy was retching.

Qian Yuan persuaded Gu Jiuxi seriously, "Look, I avenged you!" ”

"Oops, don't ......"

"Don't cry!"

"Isn't it, you're crying!?"

Xu Shi let out a long sigh and felt that he should come at another time. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
