After the end of the county examination, the candidates who won the show were afraid of missing the national examination half a year later, and rushed to the capital in advance. Compared with the joy of the shopkeepers, Ruoshu is much calmer, and after everything returns to calm after the national examination, what situation can be maintained to reflect the most real situation.

The second competition of Wuju is also over, and almost all of the elites are left. The martial arts examination is not as good as the imperial examination, and the probability of self-education is very low. In order not to lose fairness, Qin Daochuan can only work the competition system, and he returns later and later every day, Ruoshu is sometimes woken up by him, complaining about why he doesn't just sleep in the study, Qin Daochuan said with a smile: "If I am really like that, I don't know what will become of your mouth, or so good, so as not to be angry." ”

Lanxi Academy was on vacation, because most of the masters of the academy had received the errands for the national examination, except for Master Zheng, because there were quite a large number of talents in the family, in order to avoid suspicion, he could not participate. Therefore, Zhonglan sent Qin Hai back to deliver a letter, saying that he wanted to stay in the academy to study, but Ruoshu did not break him.

Zhong Zhan, Zhong Qi and Zhong Yuan went to watch the finals of the martial arts every day as if they were rushing to school. Qin Dong, who followed them, was afraid that they would be stepped on by a sea of onlookers, so he and Qin Nan carried the three of them on their shoulders, Qin Daochuan not only stopped stopping them, but also asked Ruoshu to prepare a noon meal and send it to them, so as not to run around and waste time.

At dinner, Zhong Zhan, who was still unsatisfied, said to Ruoshu: "Mother, borrow your car tomorrow." ”

Ruoshu stopped his chopsticks and glanced at him.

Zhong Zhan continued: "Sitting on Uncle Dong's shoulders today, they are tired and we are tired, and Qin Bai and they are squeezed around, which is quite uncomfortable, if you sit in your mother's car tomorrow and watch, you will not be able to stop us, and you can watch while eating." ”

Ruoshu said: "Isn't there a car in the house?" ”

Zhong Zhan replied: "No one can sit on the roof of the car next to it. ”

Ruoshu frowned, and then said: "My four horses are very fierce, and when the time comes, they kick and hurt people, and they cause trouble." ”

Zhong Zhan still did not give up, and said: "Mother, when the time comes, pull the four horses away, and leave only the vehicle there, or it will be fine." ”

Ruoshu said: "You don't have to be troublesome. ”

Zhong Zhan still seemed to be unconscious, and was still talking about asking Ruoshu to borrow a carriage for him. Zhong Qi seemed to sense his mother's displeasure, and helped to say: "Mother, we will definitely take good care of your carriage, and never get dirty except for sitting." ”

Ruoshu put down his chopsticks and said, "The last time I passed by over there, there were so many people, you made it so abrupt, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, it's better to keep a low profile, so as not to be honest." ”

Zhong Zhan answered: "Mother is too low-key, and we don't bully others, what is there to be afraid of." ”

Ah Yun answered at this time: "Mother, I also want to go and see." ”

Before Ruoshu could speak, Zhong Zhan had already said, "You have a lot to do." ”

Ruoshu thought for a while and said, "I'll discuss it with your father in the evening before deciding." ”

Zhong Zhan said dejectedly: "Forget it, it's not done." ”

Ruoshu turned his head to Ah Yun, who was rolling with tears in his eyes, and said, "Mother will also take you out for a walk tomorrow, they are not good-looking, I will take you to a good place." ”

Zhong Zhan muttered: "Mother just doesn't want to borrow, why bother to covet us here." ”

Ruoshu said: "If your father agrees, the carriage will lend you, but the horse can't, and tomorrow I will ride a horse and take Ah Yun to the same." ”

Ah Yun said happily with teary eyes: "Mother, can I also ride a horse?" ”

Ruoshu said: "No, you sit in front of me." ”

At this time, Xianya, who had dinner in Xuanweitang, happened to come over to ask Ruoshu for peace, Ruoshu told her that she would add two maids to her in two days, but Xianya replied: "Mother, there are enough people now, there is no need to add more." ”

Ruoshu looked at her and didn't speak.

Qin Daochuan hadn't come back at night, but Zhongyuan was holding on to the door of the wing room and looking there, Ruoshu saw it and said, "Come in." ”

After Zhongyuan came in slowly, Ruoshu asked, "Is there something?" ”

Zhongyuan nodded, but he was a little twisted, Ruoshu looked at his honest face and asked, "If you have something, just say it." ”

Only then did Zhongyuan say: "Mother, just lend us the carriage, we promise that it will not be broken." ”

Ruoshu beckoned him to come closer, Zhongyuan saw his mother's kind face, happily took two steps closer, and asked, "Mother agreed?" ”

Ruoshu asked, "Who asked you to come?" ”

Zhongyuan was stunned and immediately shook his head.

Ruoshu then asked, "If you don't say it, I won't borrow it." ”

Zhongyuan stared at the big eyes, and said without thinking: "Mother, there are a few classmates of the eldest brother today, saying which Houfu is from, and laughing at us for actually riding on people's shoulders, unlike they can ride on horses to watch, the eldest brother is angry, so he wants to borrow his mother's car to vent his anger." ”

Ruoshu said: "Sit on the roof of the carriage, put food on it, and be angry with them." ”

Zhongyuan replied in surprise: "Mother, how do you know? ”

Ruoshu then asked, "Tell your mother honestly, what do you think about yourself?" ”

Zhongyuan said: "The eldest brother is so angry, we naturally want to help him." ”

Ruoshu said: "You go back first, I still have to discuss with your father before it can be decided." ”

Zhongyuan said anxiously: "Mother, don't tell your father, he will definitely not agree." ”

Ruoshu asked curiously, "Why?" ”

Zhongyuan said: "We went to my father, and he told us to go back to the house as soon as possible, and we will not go there much in the future." ”

Ruoshu asked, "Why?" ”

Zhongyuan said, "The eldest brother said that it was because my father didn't want us to see him follow," and halfway through, he refused to speak again.

Ruoshu said: "I'm afraid that there is something else besides fighting for the wind, and I still can't borrow this car." ”

Zhongyuan seemed to suddenly remember something, and then said: "Mother, we are doing this for your own good, and when others see that you have three such outstanding sons, they don't dare to think about anything else." ”

Ruoshu listened, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "That's very good." ”

Zhongyuan saw his mother praising him, and said proudly: "Tomorrow, the three of us will sit on the roof of the carriage, and we will definitely find an opportunity to call our father, and see if others dare to think about it." ”

Ruoshu saw him mention this again and again, his heart moved, and he said: "Okay, I'll lend it to you, but the horse really can't be borrowed, there are many people there, my horse has a strong temper, and if you kick and hurt someone, it's a big deal." ”

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Zhongyuan was busy going back to report the results, and replied, "Everything depends on my mother." And ran away.

Ruo Shu looked at the empty door and thought, what they said was nothing more than Tufan Guifei and Zhu Zidan, the concubine was impossible, it could only be Zhu Zidan, the so-called suspicion gave rise to dark ghosts, at this time, thinking back to all kinds of things on the way to the north, Zhu Zidan's admiration was beyond words, but he didn't pay attention to it at the time.

Until Qin Daochuan came back, Ruoshu still hadn't made up his mind whether to go and see it with his own eyes.
