Before the city gate opened, Cang Yan and Hua Xuzi left the restaurant. Bai Su and Cheng Xiangjin sent the two elders out of the city together.

On the return trip, Bai Su took the initiative to send Cheng Xiangjin home to express his gratitude, and Cheng Xiangjin took a look at the white color and the cold and lonely street, and gladly agreed.

The Gan sisters rushed to the carriage when they came, and Cheng Xiangjin sat inside. Bai Su rode alone on the side of the carriage.

On the street with few pedestrians, this car and horse stand out.

It was only half an hour from the city gate to Chengfu, and the group kicked and stomped, and unconsciously arrived in front of Chengfu.

"Cheng's Mansion has arrived, and Master Yan should be tired if he hasn't closed his eyes all night, go back to Hou's Mansion early!"

Bai Su looked sideways at the person who opened the corner of the curtain and talked to him, and did not move.

"Have you ever tasted the peach wine that was given to you?"

Cheng Xiangjin didn't expect him to ask this, and was slightly stunned, "Oh, not yet." How......? ”

Seeing her, Bai Su unconsciously withdrew his gaze.

"Nothing. Just ask. ”

"Oh. Well, then, I'll go first. Why don't you hurry back? ”

Bai Su shook his head, "There's no hurry." ”

Cheng Xiangjin: "......"

At this time, the light had already brightened, and a few officials gradually entered the yamen at the entrance of the palace. At this time, it was also the time when her father went to work. If you know that she didn't return to the restaurant overnight......

Cheng Xiangjin was thinking about how to get him back with a headache, and Bai Su on one side opened his mouth first.

"When is Cheng Mei's birthday?"

"Me? March 10. What's wrong? Do you want to divinate for me? ”

Bai Su lowered his head and smiled, "No." When the peach blossoms are in full bloom, tasting peach wine has a unique flavor. Since Cheng Mei's birthday is March, you might as well wait for your birthday to open the jar of wine. When the wine and flowers are rich, it will be very intoxicating! ”

"Really? That's good, then I'll wait until my birthday. ”

Seeing her answer, Bai Su's face became more and more gentle.

"Hmm. If you want peach wine to taste good, in addition to waiting until the day when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, there is also one thing that is indispensable. ”

"Oh? So much attention to drinking? You, what else is missing? ”

Bai Su smiled mysteriously, "This thing is not common this season, Sister Ying Cheng might as well wait for me on her birthday, I will definitely bring you a gift when I arrive!" How is it? ”

Cheng Xiangjin really wanted to know what the thing he was looking for, and his curiosity was aroused.

"Good! But what exactly is needed? Tell me first, I'll go to the market and look for it myself! ”

Bai Su shook his head, "Such a rare thing can't be found in the market." ”

Cheng Xiangjin looked at him in disbelief, "Really?" ”

"Sue never lies!"

Cheng Xiangjin looked at the person who was still sitting upright after the hangover, and he didn't feel like he would cheat.

"Oh well! My birthday is the 10th day of the third month, and don't forget to bring me that strange thing on that day! I'm waiting for you! ”

Bai Su curled his lips and smiled, "I can't forget, I must come!" Alright, hurry back! It's time for Lord Yin to go to the government in a while! ”

Cheng Xiangjin pursed his lips, and he didn't know who refused to leave, so he delayed half a cup of tea here.

"Ganlu, go home!"

"Whoa!"

As the girl raised her whip, the carriage entered the house in the blink of an eye and disappeared.

Bai Su smiled at the corner of his mouth, turned the horse's head and rode back to the Hou Mansion.

As soon as February began, the whole Cheng Mansion gradually became nervous. Because February's test is almost here.

A while ago, Cheng Chuyang was recuperating from his injuries while warming his book, but he felt sorry for Mrs. Cheng. Now the injury is healed, and it is not two days before the test.

Mrs. Cheng hurriedly made two sets of new clothes, shoes and socks for her son, and waited to try them out in a few days.

There will be a very strict inspection when you try to enter the venue, and you are not allowed to wear handwriting on what you wear. Therefore, the two sets of clothes, shoes and socks that Mrs. Cheng made for him were also in accordance with the rules, and even so, even so, a stitch and a thread made Mrs. Cheng really spend a lot of effort.

The air in February is not cold, but warm and cold. When it comes to making clothes, there are more considerations. The examination hall has always been simple, the clothes are thin, and it will inevitably be cold when the wind cools down. It's complicated and heavy, and I'm worried about affecting my writing.

After a few clothes, Mrs. Cheng can be said to be heartbroken!

Cheng Xiangjin was worried about disturbing his brother Wen Shu, and he didn't go to Cheng Chuyang's yard for many days. However, during this time, she also prepared two gifts for him.

Two good brushes, and a good inkstone!

The reason why the brush will be sent is that there is an episode in the middle. That has to start from Xie Lingfeng's birthday.

I remember that on Xie Lingfeng's birthday, she happened to see a box of new brushes in the carriage, and because she was in a hurry to go to the Ding'an Hou Mansion for a banquet, she forgot to prepare a gift for Xie Lingfeng. As soon as she was excited, she picked up the box of pens and gave it to Xie Lingfeng.

She found out afterwards that the box of pens was originally bought by Cheng Chuyang for her intended exam.

Incidentally, Cheng Xiangjin still felt funny in his heart. Now that her brother is about to take the exam, she bought two identical pens and gave them to him, hoping that he can use the pen she gave him to write a brilliant future!

Later, these two gifts were brought to Cheng Chuyang through Mrs. Cheng.

These days, Cheng Chuyang eats and lives in his own yard and almost never goes out of the house. Mrs. Cheng also kept an eye on him, in addition to checking his reading, she also remembered to stew some nutritious and brain-healthy food from time to time every day to send him over. It's heartbreaking.

Cheng Fu Yin is in office every day, compared to Cheng Furao's busyness, he, as a father, is much more calm.

"It's just a test, which official in Beijing hasn't experienced it? Don't go through such a big deal. Look at you are making shoes and clothes for a while, and you don't know that you still think that our son is going to take up a new office! ”

Mrs. Cheng glanced at him, "What do you know?" Wear new clothes for a good look! It's not that there is no such condition, naturally the more auspicious the better! You can't offend the gods because of the wearing problem. ”

"Immortals are not as superficial as you think! There are so many students from all over the country who participate in the examination, and there are countless children from poor families, is it possible that students who are not qualified to wear new clothes will not be blessed by the gods? Woman's view! ”

Mrs. Cheng put away her clothes, and her gaze at Cheng Fuyin gradually became complicated.

Why did she feel that she hadn't heard of her life for a while, and this old man was a little too proud? Do you miss the study in the front yard?

"Xianggong, I am a woman's opinion?"

Cheng Fuyin read comfortably with a teacup, and said without looking back: "Isn't it?" Yang'er has also read sage books for more than ten years, could it be that a few clothes will affect the exam? According to me, he did well in the exam, which is also the reason why he started practical work. It has nothing to do with new clothes or old clothes. If Madame is really idle, she might as well make up for my official uniform. I've been wearing that set of officials for five or six years, and it's out of line in several places......"

Mrs. Cheng sat down opposite him angrily and smiled coldly, "Is the official uniform off the line?" ”
