When the golden cinnamon is fragrant, it means that the township test is just around the corner.

Recently, the Jin family has become more and more strict with Zhang Erzhen, not allowing Zhang Erzhen to appear in Zhang Luan's field of vision, not allowing Zhang Erzhen to speak loudly, and not even allowing Zhang Erzhen to walk out of his small courtyard, Zhang Erzhen doesn't care, and lives comfortably with the Yang family all day long. Occasionally, Tang would come over to play for a while, and Zhang Erzhen would bring out the delicious lotus cake made by Yang to Tang.

Since returning from Mr. Fang's house three months ago, Zhang Erzhen has been hiding a lot. No longer force yourself to walk around, no longer try to stumble and speak, like a real little doll all day long, go out to bask in the sun when the weather is good, point to the dark clouds on the edge of the sky when it is cloudy and scream "ahh That's how it should be, kid.

Jin didn't come to see Zhang Erzhen recently, because she was busy taking care of Zhang Luan's bags for the exam. The township test is held in August, with the first session on the ninth day of August, the second session on the 12th, and the third session on the 15th. The examination time is long, a three-day one, and the things you need to bring are particularly important, food, use, and clothing, and the scale is no less than that of the general examination. Jin attaches great importance to this autumn season, she has already written a letter to Shuntian Mansion, asking her brother to help find a house, and when Zhang Luan is in the middle of the examination, the family will move to Shuntian Mansion to prepare for next year's examination.

"Luan Lang, my brother sent someone to send the best sheep and mouse hair from Shuntian Mansion, blankets and cotton knees stuffed with thick knee pads for the exam, and I asked the kitchen to prepare lotus cake hibiscus cake and shelf-stable mung bean cake, the weather is hot, and mung beans are just to cool off. I also prepared three of Luanlang's clothes, and I changed them when I was sweating, and it was uncomfortable to wear wet clothes...... "The Jin family counted the same number to Zhang Luan, and his hands didn't stop for a moment.

Zhang Luan was no longer reading, looking at his busy wife, his heart was warm, and he said gently: "You are most relieved to take care of me." I'll go to the exam tomorrow, you stay at home, don't go out again. It is better to burn incense and worship the Buddha than to stay at home in peace and quiet, so that I can feel more at ease, Zi Bu is silent, and the smoke smokes himself, and it is really not good to go to see Zhen Zhen. After thinking about it, he continued: "Call Zhenzhen, I may not have seen her in a long time. ”

Jin listened and answered yes one by one, and when he was almost cleaned up, he called Hongliu to call the girl over.

Zhang Erzhen was hugged by Yang, and when she arrived at the door, she struggled to walk by herself, holding her own ghost talisman in her hand, and she was very happy to see Zhang Luan, and stretched out her hand and shouted "Daddy". Seeing Zhang Erzhen coming, the Jin family was also very understanding today, and told the Yang family to guard and prepare to go out without disturbing the intimacy of their father and daughter, saying that they would go out to buy a square hat again, and the tribute courtyard at night was heavy.

Zhang Luan hugged his daughter and sat on his lap, Zhang Erzhen eagerly handed over his work, which should be a necessary test doll before the exam in his previous life.

Zhang Luan looked at the pile of black ink painted on the paper, touched his daughter's thick hair and the two bulging bags on her head, looked at the small rich nest in her daughter's hand and asked, "Zhen Zhen, do you think Daddy can win?"

Zhang Erzhen secretly rolled her eyes, and replied softly: "Daddy, middle, middle, Zhen Zhen dreamed of it." He nodded vigorously as he spoke, his expression determined.

Zhang Luan also asked casually, and was amused by his daughter's little expression.

I have studied hard for three years, and this township test is bound to be won. Zhang's family is not high, and the heirs are difficult, so only they can shine on the lintel. Looking at the daughter in his arms breaking his fingers, and the delicate fingers rubbing the calluses that he had been grinding out with a pen for a long time, Zhang Luan's heart was slightly heavy, in order to give Zhen Zhen a better life, she will be a girl in the future, and she will have to work hard.

The next day, it was still dark, Zhang Luan carried the box to the tribute courtyard, and after sending Zhang Luan out, Jin came to the main hall, lit incense and prayed, and recited words in his mouth.

Zhang Erzhen was also praying, not pronouncing it in his mouth, but chanting in his heart: "The Jade Emperor Guanyin Bodhisattva is a fairy messenger from all walks of life, protect my father from the exam, no disease, no disaster and no pain during the exam, Wen Siquan will pass five levels and cut six will finally succeed in winning this township test, Amitabha Buddha Amitabha Buddha ......"

Zhang Luan did not go home during the exam, and walked for nearly half a month. In the past half a month, Zhang Erzhen didn't dare to come to the Jin family to find it unhappy, but just shrunk in his small courtyard, and the Jin family called him over to eat, and he could push it, which made the Yang family embarrassed. When Yang once again told Jin's "The girl is sleeping, it is inconvenient to come", Jin's original worries and worries about Zhang Luan's exam turned into a raging fire for his daughter, and he rose up slowly: "How old is it to play tricks in front of me." He ignored the anxious Yang and walked towards Zhang Erzhen's small courtyard like the wind.

Zhang Erzhen was naturally pretending to be asleep, only to hear the door being snapped open, and Jin's fiery red skirt floated in, Zhang Erzhen couldn't hold back the trembling feeling, made a look of being awakened, squinted his eyes and said: "Wolf, wolf." ”

"Wolf wolf wolf, I'm your mother! I see that you are deliberate, and your speech is slurred when you call me! I give birth to you a little girl to be angry with me, disobedient and not well-behaved, and I am against me every day, how old are you, ah, just pretend to sleep for me, and if you don't care about you, you will run to the sky in the future." The more Jin spoke, the more angry he became, he grabbed a teacup with verdant cypress tattoos on the table and threw it to the ground, which frightened Yang into the house, and Jin stared and didn't go out.

Zhang Erzhen also felt that she and this mother were incompatible, she had worked hard to correct the pronunciation of her mother, the little tongue did not obey the call, and blurted out when she pronounced lang. Now I happened to be unlucky enough to hit the muzzle of the gun, and I was going to be beaten up for this stance.

"Madame is angry, Madame is angry. The girl was unwell yesterday and slept late, but she was sleepy today, and she did not deliberately make her mad angry. Yang was busy kneeling in front of Jin, looking trembling.

"What happened yesterday?" Kim didn't even know that his daughter was unwell, and his anger dropped a little.

Yang said seriously: "Yesterday, Mrs. had little food, and the slave and maid said it in front of the girl, and the girl frowned at that time, and the slave knew that the girl was worried about Madame, so she went to the kitchen to make some pastries and wanted to send them to Madame, and the girl also wanted to go with her, so she went together." I couldn't see clearly in the night, the girl fell, and the slave didn't go in a hurry. The girl also had skin on her hands and slept late after taking medicine. ”

Jin heard some suspicions, stepped forward and pulled Zhang Erzhen's hand to see, there was indeed a scar, at a glance, he knew that it was just scratched, and his anger shifted to Yang, and said: "You look at the girl, but you have repeatedly injured her, and you are merciful not to punish you, but now it has intensified." ”

Yang's trembled like a chaff sieve, and Zhang Erzhen felt that this did not match her usual image, and she was surprised. The scar on his hand was caused by a naughty walk in the morning, and now it has become a representative of filial piety.

"Wolf, it hurts here, it hurts, wolf. Zhang Erzhen immediately cooperated with the performance, crying hoarsely. Kim is also a child who can't coax children, and he is in a hurry for a while.

Zhang Erzhen cried at the top of her throat, snot and tears fell straight down, her little hands clenched Jin's skirt tightly, Jin couldn't leave if she wanted to, and her head was buzzing because of the noise.

The Yang family, who was kneeling on the ground, was as strong as a sculpture, and the Jin family said angrily: "What are you doing, the girl doesn't know how to come and coax her when she cries like this, and she is motionless and waiting for me to offer you up." ”

Yang hurriedly got up and walked to the edge of the collapse, comforting Zhang Erzhen in a low voice, and the crying gradually became quieter. Kim's heart was sad, but when he saw that his daughter was still clutching his dress, that feeling immediately disappeared. Yang Shi on the side said sharply: "The girl is small, take her on a night walk again, but she is not so easy to talk to, she must be sent out." ”

Yang lowered his head and said yes, and Zhang Erzhen quietly let go of Jin's clothes.
