Xu is carefree days always go by quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already August.

On the ninth day of August, the day of the autumn exam.

During this period of time, the water pavilion where Lu Yan lived had become a forbidden place for children, and even the sound of the girls walking seemed to be much softer.

In August, the atmosphere in the entire Zhongyong Uncle's Mansion became even more tense. Su Man was trapped in the yard by the old lady and was not allowed to run around, for fear that she would run to the water pavilion again and disturb Lu Yan's study.

Su Man rolled her eyes in her heart, and muttered in her heart, even if she jumped in front of that person every day, I was afraid that she would not be able to delay other people's studies.

However, Su Man didn't know if it was her own illusion, she always felt that Lu Yan's eyes were very strange when she looked at her, and even said that it was a little sharp, as if she was going to dissect her.

So subconsciously, Su Man was a little afraid of Lu Yan, even if the original owner's wish was to change the fate of the future Shoufu Lord, she didn't want to take the initiative to lean on the past now.

The old lady enclosed her in the courtyard like this, which was exactly what she wanted.

So Su Man just lay comfortably on the kang all day long and ate snacks.

I'm afraid that the days of the gods are over.

Instead, Mrs. Su asked, "Your brother Yan is about to go to the examination room, won't you send him something?" ”

Su Man thought about Lu Yan's bright future, and waved his hand: "No, Brother Yan is very knowledgeable, this time Qiu Yu will definitely be able to take the Xie Yuan exam and come back, and when Brother Yan is in high school, it will not be too late for me to congratulate him." ”

Old Madam Su didn't take Su Man's words seriously, she only nodded at Su Man's forehead and scolded with a smile: "You little guy is really good at saying nice things more and more, how do you know that your brother Yan can take the Xie Yuan exam and come back?" ”

Su Man looked up with a small face, and his face was determined: "Grandmother, you are right to listen to me, even if Brother Yan is not Xie Yuan, he will definitely go to high school." ”

Mrs. Su didn't have any doubts that Lu Yan would be able to win, but her granddaughter opened her mouth and said that Lu Yan would be able to solve the yuan, which made her feel a little strange.

"I know that you and your brother Yan are good, and it's just enough to say this to your grandmother, but if you tell it to others, if your brother Yan doesn't pass the exam, wouldn't you make it difficult for your brother Yan." Mrs. Su hugged her little granddaughter and said seriously, "There is always some room for talking, and it is not too late to speak until the dust settles." ”

Su Man knew that Mrs. Su was also for her good, so he responded with a sweet smile and stopped mentioning Xie Yuan's matter.

Time flies like flowing water, and in a blink of an eye, it is the ninth day of the eighth month.

On this day, before dawn, Su Man heard the sound of Mrs. Su stumbling up next door.

She waited with her eyes open for a while, and finally opened her mouth and called in a low voice: "Dailan, what time is it?" ”

Dai Lan was on duty last night, so she rested on the couch in Su Man's house. Hearing Su Man's voice, she lit a candle and walked lightly to Su Man's bed, and replied in a low voice: "Girl, this is just right, it's not dawn yet, do you want to sleep for a while?" ”

Su Man rubbed his eyes and sat up, and continued to ask, "When will Brother Yan leave, I have to send him off." ”

Before Dai Lan could reply to her, she heard the old lady Su next door say in a deep voice: "It's also appropriate to go and send it away, you help her freshen up, and then go back to sleep." ”

Dai Lan answered the promise, then put the lamp and candle on the high table on the side, turned around and went out to call the little girl to fetch water to come in.

Here Su Man let the girls wait to freshen up and change their clothes, and heard Zhou's mother next door chattering with the old lady.

"The big kitchen didn't go out all night, and the chicken soup was hung for Young Master Yan all night, and the cook made several dry foods, afraid that the weather would be hot, so she prepared some pancakes and pickles."

Old Madam Su hummed lightly: "Anyway, Brother Yan is also a person from our Su family, how many pairs of eyes to watch, it's always good to be careful." ”

"What you said is that I think Mrs. Bo is also very attentive, she stayed up in the kitchen for half a night last night, and she got up again just after the ugly time, saying that she wanted today's breakfast to be ready."

"Wan Niang is the most thoughtful, and I am most relieved of her." Old Madam Su's voice paused, "I heard that she also made a lot of shoes and socks for Brother Yan?" ”

"Yes, the old slave heard the rouge beside Mrs. Bo say, saying that Mrs. felt that the things brought into the examination room had to be careful, and she didn't worry about the people in the sewing room, so she personally led the girl in the room to do it."

"Well, that's right." The old lady's voice was still faint, "I just hope that they won't be busy in vain." ”

Mother Zhou's voice had a smile in it: "Look at what you said, Young Master Yan is one of the best in the academy in Tongzhou." Didn't our girl say it too, this time in the autumn season, maybe there will be a Xie Yuanlang in our house. ”

"I'm not worried that he won't be able to go to high school, it's just that ......" The old lady said halfway, but she didn't continue, only sighed heavily, "That's it, it's all sorted out, we should go and send you Brother Yan." ”

Here Su Man was listening to the second half of Mrs. Su's sentence with his ears pricked up, but he didn't expect the old lady to stop talking.

No, she had to put on her shoes and run to the cubicle, saluted Mrs. Su, and said playfully: "The granddaughter has been ready for a long time, but the grandmother is too slow." ”

When Mrs. Su saw her granddaughter, she couldn't stop laughing. She took Su Man's little hand and said softly: "Your brother Yan has been gone for nine days, and it has been very bitter in these nine days, you have to talk to him a few words later." ”

For the imperial examination, Su Man had also heard of it in modern times.

It is said that the environment of this examination room is extremely terrifying, and eating, drinking, and Lazar are all in that small room of several square meters.

Su Man thought about the ecstatic scene, shook his head and didn't dare to think about it anymore, only raised his face and smiled at the old lady: "Grandmother, don't worry, granddaughters are awake." ”

The grandfather and grandson had just spoken, and then they heard a little girl preaching in the courtyard: "Old lady, Young Master Yan has come to say goodbye." ”

Su Man was led to the hall by the old lady. The hall was brightly lit, and the elegantly dressed young man sat upright in the Taishi chair in the hall.

Seeing Old Madam Su come out, Lu Yan immediately stood up, bowed to Old Madam Su and said, "The younger generation has seen Old Madame. I didn't want to disturb the old lady's rest, but the aunt said that the old lady was also worried about the affairs of the younger generations and couldn't sleep for several days, so the younger generations took the liberty to resign from the old lady. ”

Old Madam Su waved her hand and motioned for Lu Yan to sit down and speak.

"It's a big deal for you to participate in the Autumn Festival, so you don't have to come over to say goodbye to me." Old Madam Su sighed lightly, "It's hard in this examination room, no matter what the result is, you must take care of your body." ”
