Chapter Seventy-Seven
Cheng Zhi knew that Cheng An was aware of his low mood and wanted to make him happy, after all, Xu Jiacun had really not shown his talent for many years because of the special conditions, if it was usual, Cheng Zhi might have felt good when he saw his ranking, but when he saw Su Qiyun's ranking, the gap in his heart was too big.
Speaking of which, I don't know if today is whether Su Qiyun has expected his ranking this time, or because the Su family doesn't like Linchuan City for those things, in short, Su Qiyun didn't come over to take a look on the day the list was released today.
However, judging from the literature of Su Fuzi and Mrs. Su, it is also known that Su Qiyun cannot be bad, even if he knows that he is not as good as others, but the gap is so big, Cheng Zhi still can't accept it for a while, although he repeatedly said to himself that it doesn't matter, but the loss in his heart is difficult to eliminate.
Xu Hu looked at this Chengzhi but sighed in his heart, this kid's heart is too high, and he doesn't know whether this is good or bad, Xu Hu only hopes that this child can have a smooth life, as for whether he can be rich and prosperous in the future, he has long dared not think about it.
As soon as Cheng Zhi Cheng An entered the door, Xiao Nan ran over and said with a bright smile, "Congratulations to Brother Ah Zhi for becoming a showman!" ”
Although I don't know what Brother Chengzhi's ranking is, Xiao Nannan believes that hard work pays off, and Brother Ah Zhi must be on the list.
As for Cheng'an's little girl on the side, she didn't even want to ask more, after all, their family didn't have confidence in Cheng'an, with her understanding of Cheng'an's brother, if she didn't work as hard as Chengzhi's brother, I am afraid that it would be difficult to get ahead on the road to the imperial examination.
Cheng Zhi reluctantly smiled at Xiao Nannan, yes, this was originally a happy thing, how could he let himself be like this, he rubbed Xiao Nannan's head and said, "I didn't take Nannan to the county today, did Nannan follow Mrs. Su well?" ”
"Uh-huh!" Xiao Nannan nodded vigorously, she was already very well-behaved, how could she not be well-behaved because Brother Azhi was not there? Mrs. Su praised her for her serious study today.
Seeing such a little girl, Cheng Zhi couldn't help but smile and said, "When I have the opportunity in the future, my brother will take the girl to the county again, there are a lot of novelty things there, and the girl will definitely like it." ”
But Xiao Nannan shook her head and said, "As long as I can be with Brother Ah Zhi, Brother Ah An and my cousin, I am already very happy, you are so good to me, give me everything, I don't have anything I need, I really don't need to buy those things, and those things are not practical, and it is useless to buy them, so I still don't want it!" ”
Cheng Zhi mentioned the matter of going to the street today but was rejected one after another, but in fact, it was two completely different moods, when he was rejected by those students in the village before, he actually didn't think much about it, he wanted to go, he didn't want to go, it didn't all depend on their own thoughts, but when he was rejected by Xiao Nannan, Cheng Zhi felt a little sad.
He never knew whether it was right to leave Xiao Nannan, but they still stayed after all, from the beginning of Xiao Nan Nan as a well-behaved lady, to now the 'wild girl' who mixes with Cheng'an and them all day long, Xiao Nan Nan has really changed a lot.
She has been trying to adapt to their family, and she will always think about what some of her behaviors will bring to this family, and will try not to cause trouble to them.
He sometimes thinks about what would happen if he sent her to her grandfather, even though she said that she had never met her grandfather, and that her grandfather might not have been nice to them, but he thought that even if it was bad, they would make her have no worries.
Cheng Zhi was silent for a long time, but Cheng An took the first step and said helplessly, "You girl, how do you know that there is nothing you want if you haven't turned around properly?" ”
"Who Says I'm ......"
Cheng An quickly interrupted and said, "Even if you followed Su Meng for a spin last time, have you finished the transfer?" Are you still in the mood for something like that? ”
The little girl shut up and kept silent, she never understood what kind of thing that kind of thing was, was it the matter of seeing the little brother that day? But that little brother didn't do anything to them? Why is it that almost everyone is mentioning that incident with disgust?
At this time, Xu Aniang, who had been waiting in the house for her son to go in to report the good news, saw that the children were in the yard and didn't know what they were talking about, and it was difficult to continue to sit for a while and found out. What's up? ”
After saying a word, several people in the courtyard were silent, and Xu A-Niang saw the demeanor of the three children and already understood that these three people had something to hide from themselves.
Xiao Nan Nan chose to hide Xu A-Niang at first because of Su Meng's expression at the beginning, but later she also thought about confessing to Xu A-Niang after confessing to Cheng Zhi, but she was stopped by Cheng Zhi, and said to Xiao Nan that this matter was about the name of the girl's family, so don't mention this matter more, although Cheng Zhi said that Xiao Nan didn't understand it very well, but since Cheng Zhi's brother didn't let her say it, she wouldn't say it, I didn't expect that today I would let Xu A-Niang know that she had something to hide from her.
Xiao Nannan and Cheng An secretly glanced at Cheng Zhi again and again, one was because they wanted to ask Cheng Zhi's brother what to do about this matter, whether he should confess to Xu A-Niang, and the other was that he felt inevitably a little embarrassed, this kind of thing was not good for him to say after all, so they all hoped that Cheng Zhi would decide.
Xu A-Niang saw that they all set their eyes on Cheng Zhi, and their eyes were also locked on Cheng Zhi, usually she only felt that her son's situation was safe and thoughtful, but she didn't expect this child to learn to hide his own affairs.
Being looked at by the three people, Cheng Zhi inevitably felt too much pressure, this kind of thing might as well not know, I really don't know why I was idle at that time and had to ask Xiao Nannan what he was hiding from him, otherwise how could there be such a bunch of things now?
After a few people entered the house, Cheng Zhi explained the whole thing to Xu A-Niang, Xu A-Niang inevitably broke out in a cold sweat when she heard it, she thought that with Su Meng by her side, Xiao Nan Nan went out with her, she could rest assured, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen, and she didn't expect Xiao Nan to hide it from her, Xu A-Niang didn't dare to think what if something really happened to them? Fortunately, they came back safely.
But the Su family, Xu A-Niang didn't know what kind of mood she should be in when she thought of these things of the Su family, at that time, Xiao Nan Nan once accidentally mentioned that some of the words she and Cheng Zhi said may have been heard by the brother of the Su family, because when she came out of the room, she saw that the brother was standing in the yard, and at that time Xu A-Niang had been nervous and didn't know what to do, this incident inevitably reminded her that when she and Xu Hu said some words, she was also accidentally encountered by Su Meng.
I really don't know what kind of physique their Su family is, but they can overhear the affairs of their family one by one, and it looks like their family has been pinched.
Although Cheng Zhi later told her that Su Qiyun promised him that he would not say anything, Xu A-Niang still couldn't feel at ease no matter what.
Cheng An didn't wait for Xu A-Niang to come up with something about the Su family, so he couldn't wait to say, "A-Niang, we have watched my eldest brother today, and our family will have a big show in the future!" ”
Cheng An was also worried that when Xu A-Niang thought about the Su family's affairs and reacted, she would recall the incident they had hidden from her, and they would inevitably be punished again at that time, so she couldn't wait to share the good news with A-Niang Xu.
The good news really made Xu A-Niang smile when she couldn't take care of the Su family's affairs anymore, as if her hard work after so many years had finally paid off, staring at Cheng Zhi's eyes full of pride.
Xu A-Niang's eyes made Cheng Zhi also think of his ranking, and he inevitably felt a little weak-hearted, and felt that he was a little ashamed of his ardent hope for A-Niang, and he didn't dare to look at Xu A-Niang's eyes anymore.
Cheng Zhi's avoidance surprised Xu A-Niang and Xiao Nannan, and they couldn't understand what kind of things would make Cheng Zhi look like this, could it be that there were any other accidents?
The accident is not enough, after listening to Cheng An's fastest talk about the abnormality of Cheng Zhi's journey, Xu A-Niang sighed helplessly, "This kid, is it okay to get by?" People must know how to be content! Some people can't even get through it even if they think about it! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng An himself felt a little embarrassed, wasn't the person who didn't say this himself? But how much did he think about it?
Xu A-Niang didn't look at Cheng An's embarrassed appearance, and then said to Cheng Zhi, "A-Niang really thinks you are very good, how many years have you not been a talent in this Xujia Village, it's rare that there is a you now, and others don't know how envious they are!" ”
Cheng An couldn't help but say at this time, "It's not the eldest brother alone, Xu Wen of the village chief's family has also passed!" ”
"Yo, really?" Xu A-Niang was even happier when she heard this, and said with a smile, "The village chief doesn't know how to be happy now, Chengzhi Cheng'an, you remember to bring something to the village chief's house for a while, and celebrate for the village chief, the village chief has not taken care of our family for so many years, and we can't forget the village chief when there is a happy event in the village chief's family." ”
"Well, my son got it!" Cheng Zhi Cheng'an's colleague nodded in response.
"Alas, by the way," Xu A-Niang asked as if she had suddenly thought of something, "How about the one from Su Fuzi's family?" I didn't follow you to take a look at him today, so if you help him, don't go over and talk to Su Fuzi. ”
"Alas, Ah Niang, don't worry about so many things," Cheng An knew that the eldest brother had been losing for Su Qiyun's ranking all day long, and was worried that Xu A-Niang would ask something that would make the eldest brother unhappy, so he said, "How could they not know about the things we all know, maybe someone told them first and they didn't go, Ah Niang, don't worry about it!" ”
"Oh?" Although Cheng An asked her to leave it alone, Xu A-Niang inevitably became more curious when she heard Cheng An say this, "What kind of result?" I didn't hear what Su Fuzi said today, what happened? ”
Cheng An didn't know that Ah Niang's curiosity was so heavy, and the Su family's affairs were so much wanted to know, although he was forced to ask by Xu A-Niang, Cheng An was still reluctant to say it, and that incident would stimulate the eldest brother again.
Cheng Zhi still couldn't look at Cheng An's grinding and chirping and said, "Su Qiyun's ranking is very good, in the fifth place!" ”
"Fifth place?" After listening to this, Xu A-Niang muttered and repeated, even though she knew that the road of literati was not easy to walk, but Xu A-Niang, who had not eaten Xiucai for so many years, still didn't know what this meant, but Cheng An, when she said this, she remembered that she hadn't asked Cheng Zhi's ranking, thinking of the low mood they had said about Cheng Zhi before, although she knew that it might not be as good as Su Qiyun, but Xu A-Niang still asked very suspiciously, "Ah Zhi, what is your rank?" ”
"Seventy-three!" Chengzhi was silent for a long time, and finally opened his lips lightly and slowly spit out.
