Chapter 57

Xiao Nannan didn't sleep well this night, not that she changed the environment and recognized the bed, but because of the tense atmosphere around her, her heart was also panicked, her father once said to her that if a poor student wants to rise to the top, the only way to take the imperial examination is to take the road, which is much more difficult than the road of recommendation from the noble family.

Xiao Nannan didn't understand its meaning at the time, but Xiao Nannan now looks at Brother Cheng'an's smile is a lot less and can faintly understand the importance, although this is not as large as the formal scientific expedition, but it is also a rare event in China, and it is the first step for poor students to rise to prominence.

Although Cheng An kept saying that he didn't want to take this exam, when everyone around him was nervous, he didn't dare to mess around and annoy his eldest brother, and even in order to appease his eldest brother, he himself calmed down and read the book for two days.

Almost as soon as the rooster crow in the yard sounded, Xiao Nannan couldn't bear to get up from the bed and knock on the door next door, thinking that she had gotten up early enough, after all, the sky was not lit up now, but the oil lamp in the next room had already been lit.

Looking at the light in the room outside the door, Xiao Nannan even wondered if the people in this room had never rested all night, and lit the lamp and read until dawn.

As soon as she raised her pink and tender right hand and put it down, she couldn't help biting her round lip gently, and her frowning little brows could see how tangled her heart was.

After thinking about it, she was still embarrassed to disturb the figure under the oil lamp and turned to leave, but she just walked two steps before she heard the door behind her, "Brother Azhi......"

Just turned around and wanted to raise a smile to say hello to her brother Zhi, and by the way, the little girl who wanted to encourage him swallowed the greeting before he could spit it out, and looked at the young man who had just come out of the house embarrassedly.

Looking at Xiao Nannan's frustrated little face, the young man smiled slightly, and said first, "Why did Yuanyuan get up so early today?" ”

Hearing the young man call himself like this, Xiao Nannan didn't even feel uncomfortable before he could finish what he said later, and the reason was just that few people had called herself so intimately in the past.

In the past, when my father and mother were around, every time they led Xiao Nan Nan out to meet outsiders, most of those people also politely called 'Miss Wen' or 'Miss Wen', although Xiao Nan Nan had long known that the people in Xujia Village had always been informal, and she had long been used to it, but ......

But this person is not from Xujia Village!

Xiao Nannan suddenly remembered a word, 'Dengtuzi', although Xiao Nannan herself didn't know what it meant, and she didn't remember which time she secretly heard it in the teahouse, but at this time, she suddenly remembered this word.

Obviously, this person is also a scholar, how can he call his girlfriend name like this now? Even if he has a good relationship with Sister Su Meng, he can't do this, right? They're not very familiar, are they?

Su Qiyun watched the little girl frowning in front of him and struggling, her tightly clenched little fists seemed to be hesitating to hit him, and she felt that this little girl was cute.

In fact, Su Qiyun, who just came out of the house and saw this little girl, had no other thoughts, and that title was just called out naturally, just because when Su Meng was at home on weekdays, the girl Yuan Yuan was long and short in his ear all day long, and he couldn't help but listen to it, but he really didn't expect it to be called out at this time.

But when it was called, it was called, Su Qiyun didn't feel anything, it was just a six or seven-year-old little girl, I didn't expect this little girl to be entangled like this, Su Qiyun couldn't help but feel funny, and couldn't help but think about what this girl's parents were like, how to teach such a little girl, after all, the people of Xujia Village do have a free-range attitude towards these children, regardless of gender.

Both of them were silent for a long time, I don't know when Cheng Zhi actually came out of the house when he heard the sound, frowned and looked at the two people, and finally looked at Xiao Nannan and asked, "Why did my cousin get up so early today?" ”

One sentence saved the little girl's entanglement, and also recalled Su Qiyun's thoughts, when he came back to his senses, he had already seen the eyes of the little girl in front of him who was still a little unhappy just now, and instantly became bright and excited, and fell into Xu Chengzhi's arms behind him.

Xiao Nannan ignored Su Qiyun, who had just greeted him next to him, and rubbed his hairy little head in Cheng Zhi's arms before raising his head and looking at Cheng Zhi with a smile and saying, "Brother is going to refer to it today, Nan Nan is here to encourage my brother, with my brother's talent and learning, I will definitely be at the top of the list, don't be nervous in the examination room, wait for my brother to come back!" ”

Cheng Zhi looked at the little girl in his arms gently, and only felt funny and helpless, but he really didn't feel nervous or anything, these words had already been said by the master, but it was good for the little girl to have this heart.

He raised his hand and touched the girl who reached his waist, and comforted him gently, "Don't worry, I'm here with my mother and waiting for us to come out!" ”

"Uh-huh!" Xiao Nannan looked up at Cheng Zhi and nodded heavily, as if she was trying to emphasize that she was unwilling to be a burden to Cheng Zhi's brother.

Cheng Zhi thought for a while and said, "You haven't been to Fushan County yet, if you're bored, let A-Niang take you out for a walk, have a good time, don't go out alone!" ”

After all, they are also unfamiliar with the place here, and they don't dare to let Xiao Nannan go alone.

After the students of the whole village came here, they were also dedicated to reading and studying in the small courtyard that the village chief had already rented, and by the way, they sat together to exchange ideas, and they didn't think about going out for a walk and have a look.

But the little girl who came with them, Cheng Zhi knew that she had already aroused her playfulness by following Cheng An during this time, and she was definitely not happy to just shrink in this small courtyard, so she wanted to let Ah Niang take her out for a walk.

But to his surprise, Xiao Nannan shook her head and looked at Cheng Zhi and said firmly, "I'm here waiting for my brother to come back!" ”

"It's good!" Cheng Zhi nodded slowly, but he didn't force Xiao Nannan, he knew that he and Cheng An were leaving, Ah Niang must be nervous and uneasy, I'm afraid I don't have the heart to take Xiao Nan out, even if I go out, I may not be able to have a good time, it's better to stay here and wait for them to finish the exam and take Xiao Nan to have a good look!
