A few days later, the imperial examination ended.

On this day, it was drizzling all day, and the rain was not heavy, but standing in an unsheltered place, it only took a moment to beat people to a soaking wet.

But this is the first spring rain of the new year. It is a disaster for the scholars who rush to take the exam, but it is a rare good thing for the people who live by nature.

Jin Niang had no time to think about how much this spring rain would help her own fields and how much they would increase the yield of the fields. Now she is only worried about Xu Erlang and her father, who went to catch the exam.

Xu Erlang is okay, he is young and strong in the end, and he has also practiced martial arts all year round and has developed a strong physique, and the impact of this sudden cooling on him may not be great, but Father Lin is old, and his body is not as strong as Xu Erlang, so he is worried that Father Lin will be relieved and rain again after the exam, and come back with a serious illness.

Thinking so, Jin Niang asked Xu Chong to take someone to the carriage and hurried to the Gongyuan to pick up people. not only sent Xu Chong out, but also assigned Mohe, after all, there were four people for reference, and a carriage couldn't fit it.

In addition, Xu Chong also brought a change of dry clothes, dry towels, new shoes and socks, ginger soup and other easy-to-carry food.

Xu Chong has taken over the experience of receiving people, and he didn't need to be told by Jinniang, he also arranged everything. But Jean Jinniang is a sister-in-law, and she is a sister-in-law who is pregnant and has a strong belly, so despite her impatience, Xu Chong is also patient and takes all of Jinniang's instructions to heart.

It wasn't until he felt that the time was almost up, and he went later, and the carriage was about to be squeezed in, that Xu Chong interrupted Jinniang's speech.

After Xu Chong left, Jin Niang asked Pian Pian and Changle in the house suspiciously, "Am I disliked?" ”

Pian Pian and Changle hurriedly shook their heads, and one of them said, "No." ”

One said, "The third uncle didn't dare at all, he was afraid that the second uncle would beat him." ”

Xiao Yu'er ran over at this time, she just woke up, her eyes were still very worried, and she stumbled and ran over with small steps. Behind her was the frightened nurse, who stretched out her two hands and chased closely behind Xiao Yu'er, lest she accidentally fall, she could catch the precious little master in time.

"Mother, mother!" Xiao Yu'er ran to her and stretched out her hand to ask Jin Niang to hug her, and as soon as Jin Niang was about to pick her up, Pian Pian reached out and hugged Xiao Yu'er to her knees.

"Sister-in-law is pregnant, have you forgotten Xiaoyuer? You see that my sister-in-law's stomach is bulging, and there are your younger brothers and sisters inside, Xiaoyu'er should be careful, otherwise your younger brothers and sisters will be hurt by you. ”

Xiao Yu'er just woke up, and when she was vulnerable, she was a little aggrieved when she heard the words, and tears suddenly filled her big eyes. Fortunately, Changle saw that the situation was wrong and hurriedly coaxed her, and the little girl giggled after a moment.

Xiao Yu'er is a person who doesn't hold grudges, and his temper comes and goes quickly. She is also a little clever, and when she came in just now, she heard her mother, aunt, and sister mention her father, and she thought that her father must be coming home.

After getting confirmation from the three of Jinniang, the little girl smiled like an excited flower. Next, I didn't play with my mother, and I didn't care if it was raining outside, whether it was cooling down, and it was freezing badly, she trotted out as soon as she slipped away, to pick up her father, and when she asked her father to go home, she saw her at first sight.

Jin Niang: ...... The girl is the little lover of the father's last life, and this sentence can't be wrong. So what did she do when she worked hard to give birth to a girl, and compete for favor with herself? Tired.

I felt helpless, but I hurriedly told my grandmother to get a thick cloak and chase the little fish.

This little girl called her a little fish is really not buried in this nickname, she runs when she encounters a little water, and the fast grandmothers and girls can't catch up, maybe this life is really a little fish.

When Xu Erlang and Father Lin came back, dinner was still being prepared. Jin Niang pinched the order to let the kitchen cook dinner, just for Weng and her son-in-law to come back and eat a hot meal.

Xu Erlang went straight into Cuibai Garden, Jin Niang saw that his beard was haggard, so she was very distressed, and hurriedly asked him to take a bath, while she turned around and took a change of clothes, and waited for him to bathe as usual.

Father Lin also went to the courtyard where he lived to wash, and came over for dinner later, but Wang Ke and Zheng Shunming didn't come. Jin Niang has already made people prepare meals, and they can use them after the two of them clean up, the two of them are said to be tired, Wang Ke is better, he often does farm work and has the strength, and his spirit is good, Zheng Shunming's eldest young master is used to it, and a spring festival completely consumes all the energy in his body, and it is said that he was still carried out by Father Lin when he came out. This physical strength is not as strong as Father Lin's, so it can be seen how weak it is.

When Jinniang cleaned up Xu Erlang, Father Lin also packed up.

Jin Niang didn't ask the two how they did in the exam, but she saw that Father Lin and Xu Erlang looked pretty good, so it can be seen that the exam should be passable. In that case, there is no need to ask.

Jin Niang didn't say much, and the children were a little worried and hurried. Especially Chang'an and Changping, they kept looking at Xu Erlang and Father Lin during the meal, looking like they wanted to talk and stopped, and they were also funny.

However, Jin Niang didn't ask them empathetically, but added dishes to the past, so that the two of them could eat well.

Chang'an Changping knew that he couldn't ask anything today, and the two of them were also worried about the second uncle and grandfather in their hearts, so they secretly suppressed their curiosity in their hearts, and prepared to wait for the second uncle and grandfather to rest well, ease up, and then ask about the exam.

Xu Erlang slept very deeply this night, maybe he had gone all out in the past three years, and now he only looked at the will of God, so his mood was much more relaxed. This relaxation, tiredness swept over, Jin Niang just took a bath, and when she came back, she saw that Xu Erlang was already lying on the bed and falling asleep. He still had a book in his hand, which had slipped to his fingertips, and his arm was hanging by the side of the bed, and the corner of the book was already touching the ground.

Jin Niang walked over slowly, and slowly withdrew the "Geographical Chronicles of Great Qi" from his hand. As a result, he was only halfway through, and Xu Erlang opened his eyes as if he was having a nightmare.

I saw Jin Niang, who had washed and was wearing a rouge silk embroidered begonia pure water and green Luo gauze. Under the faint yellow light, her complexion was reflected by the rouge bedclothes, which looked even more bright and delicate, and the eyes she looked at her were worried and distressed, which really hit his heart.

Xu Erlang said in a hoarse voice, "Come and sleep." He raised his arm and pulled Jin Niang, and Jin Niang stepped into bed, lifted the quilt and lay on Xu Erlang's side.

Xu Erlang was really tired, and after Jin Niang lay down, he closed his eyes and fell asleep instantly. But even if he fell asleep, he was buried in the side of Jinniang's neck, smelling the sweet aroma on her body, and even this sleep was much more peaceful.

The light rain stopped early the next day.

The sun rises, sprinkles colorful rays, and the crystal water droplets reflect brilliant brilliance under the sun's illumination, and the beauty makes people's hearts tremble.

Suddenly, a curved rainbow bridge rose in the sky, which was really rare, and the people in the entire mansion were alarmed for a while.

Xiao Yu'er was made up by her father earlier with weather knowledge, and she listened to it with taste, but she was young and didn't know much about it. After all, she still didn't know about the rainbow, and she didn't know what the hail was, but now she knew, because by this time she had already gotten up and was about to go to play with her sister, but she happened to meet the process of the rainbow appearing.

Xiao Yu'er was so excited that her excited little face turned red.

She took Changle's hand and came to Cuibai Garden, and Qi Dong compared to Jin Niang what the rainbow looks like, how many colors there are, when the rainbow comes out, and how it doesn't.

As she spoke, Xiao Yu'er regretted, "It's a pity that the rainbow will be gone after a while, and I haven't seen enough." ”

Jin Niang's mind moved, and as soon as her eyes blinked, an idea popped up in her mind.

She said, "It's not easy, you can find someone who can draw and ask her to help you draw the rainbow, so that when you want to see the rainbow in the future, you can take out the painting and look at it, how nice it is." ”

"Giggles, my mother is right, I'm going to find someone to draw the rainbow."

"There's no hurry." Jin Niang said, "Your sister can draw, and she can do it well." It's just that no matter how beautiful the rainbow my sister paints, it's not the same as the rainbow you see. Heck, what can I do? ”

Xiao Yu'er was dumbfounded, "Is the rainbow my sister sees different from the rainbow I see?" Are there many rainbows? ”

Jin Niang nodded solemnly, "Yes, there are a lot of rainbows." If you don't believe it, ask your sister. ”

Changle looked at his aunt's unfathomable flickering sister, although he felt a little weak, but when he was called by Jin Niang, he nodded as if he was in line with Jin Niang.

She understands that her aunt is doing this to coax her sister to learn calligraphy and painting. Xiao Yu'er is energetic and wants to learn everything, but unfortunately she is impatient, no matter what she learns, she will forget about it after three or two days. But the second uncle didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and only said that the little fish was still young, and it would be good when he grew up.

It's a pity that the second uncle can see it, but the aunt can't see it, and for this matter, several more strands of hair have fallen out. Now I finally thought of an opportunity for Xiao Yuer to learn calligraphy and painting, and my aunt didn't seize it in time. And she, she naturally wants her sister to be motivated. Not to mention anything else, just to write a good handwriting, and to be able to draw a picture scroll that others can't imagine, that is a sense of accomplishment, and now she imagines her own satisfactory work in her study, and she is proud to hold up her small chest.

Therefore, she is so motivated as an elder sister, how can her sister continue to live like a salted fish, how bad is that.

Thinking so, Changle was also anxious to flicker with Jin Niang. The two worked together, and the effect came out immediately - Xiao Yu'er went to practice calligraphy and painting in a daze, and the little girl pinched her little fist to ensure that she wouldn't go out if she didn't draw a beautiful rainbow.

Jin Niang: ...... I'm looking forward to your rainbow.

Xu Erlang and Father Lin suffered a lot of damage, and they have been recuperating in the house for a few days.

During this period, Suqian came over, because the spring festival had passed, Suqian didn't have to avoid suspicion, so he swaggered to the house, and by the way, he also made an appointment with Xin Wei, and several people met again in Xu Mansion.

Friends are naturally happy to meet, and they have to say a few words about the spring.

It's a pity that even if you are as well-informed as Suqian, you don't know anything about the results of several people.

He doesn't have the right to review the test papers, and the marking of the papers is the business of officials above the second grade, he is just a little minion of the sixth grade, the kind of thing that concerns the students of the world, and he has to do it in that turn.

However, for the top three candidates, Suqian still had some thoughts, so he said, "It is estimated that according to the traditions of the previous worlds, several houses will share the cake and eat together." ”

It's a bit vulgar to divide the cake, but I have to say, it's an image. For a while, except for Xu Erlang, who had expected it, the rest of the people all changed color slightly.

Wang Ke was the most unaware of the darkness of officialdom and the filth in it, so he said, "Could it be the imperial examination...... How many parties do you have to save face? ”

Suqian gave him a look of "what do you think", and Wang Ke's face became even more ugly.

But it was only a moment, and he adjusted his mood and his complexion improved a lot.

In fact, he is jealous and hateful, and if you think about it, there are no unspoken rules there. Besides, whether this unspoken rule can be applied to him or not, and whether it has an impact on him is still two words, after all, he feels that he has played abnormally this time, and eighty percent of them will not be on the list.

Thinking like this, Wang Ke couldn't help but feel a little disheartened.

And just like Wang Ke, Zheng Shunming and Xin Weikao are not very good, but the two of them can see that there will be a next time if they don't succeed this time, and they didn't expect to be successful at one time anyway. Didn't you see Xu Erlang, who has the best luck among them and is relatively top-notch in knowledge, also took the Spring Exam twice? They should test the waters this time, and wait another three years to fight again, and they will hardly believe that they will not be able to get a good ranking.

A few people talked and talked about it again, pulling to the test questions in the test paper. This time, the Spring Breeze really came up with the canal question, and several people were reminded by Xu Erlang earlier, so they deliberately answered in private, and also tentatively wrote a strategy.

Although it was only written superficially, it didn't let anyone help correct the changes. But because I had "done" a similar test question earlier, I had a bottom in my heart when I answered, and my mood was much more comfortable, and I felt that I was quite satisfied with the answer to that test question. So, this should give you a few more points? ……

On this day, a few people wandered around in Xufu until it was late before going back, and the next morning they made an appointment to go out together.

Now it's a clear day, and there's nothing wrong with going out for a walk. It's a pity that Jinniang's belly is big, and now her body is nearly six months old, and it is already obvious. Although she has the heart to control her diet and weight, her belly is still as round as a watermelon.

Just in case, Jin Niang naturally didn't plan to go out, but a few children, I heard that they could go out to play, and they were so excited.

Even if he was as indifferent as Changle, he opened a pair of ignorant eyes at this time, looking at Jin Niang expectantly. Pianpiao, like a monkey, snuggled up to Jinniang's side and began to be coquettish.

What can Jin Niang do? I can only agree.

But because she can't go, even if a few small ones are going to go, she has to be well prepared.

Jin Niang asked several grandmothers to follow, and specially ordered Qin Mama to accompany her. Let her take care of the three little girls, and also specially write to Mrs. Su, she also took the children out to play, so she could only ask her to take care of some little girls on her behalf, in case they bumped into them or were bumped into.
