Mohe sent someone to send the letter out overnight, even so, when Jinniang received the letter, two days had passed since the end of the autumn festival.

She was overjoyed to receive Xu Erlang's letter, she thought that Xu Erlang would at least wait for his body to recover before she could write a letter, but she didn't expect to receive his letter four or five days earlier than expected, how could Jin Niang not be ecstatic?

When she opened the letter and read Xu Erlang's thoughts, Jin Niang's eyebrows and corners of her eyes couldn't suppress the joy.

Pian Pian and Chang An Changping were both in the house, and they heard that the second brother/second uncle had sent someone to deliver the letter again, so they couldn't wait to run over. When they entered the house, they saw Jin Niang reading the letter with a smile on her face, and the restlessness in their hearts calmed down a lot. The heart was stable, and they couldn't help but laugh on their faces, and they didn't make a sound, so they silently saluted Jin Niang, and sat down on the seats in order.

Seeing that Jinniang finished reading the letter, Pian Pian couldn't help but speak first, "How is my sister-in-law?" Is the second brother doing well in the exam? When is the second brother going to come back? ”

"Your second brother said that the exam went well, so there shouldn't be any big problem. But it's okay if you can't win this year, after all, your second brother has been studying for a short time, and he is still very young, so it's too late to wait for another three years for the exam. As for when he will come back, your second brother didn't say a specific date, but said that he would come back when the results were out. ”

As she replied, she handed over a few pages of the letter that could be read by her sister-in-law and her two nephews, and asked them to circulate them. As for the remaining one that wrote Xu Erlang's feelings, she was embarrassed to show it to a few children, and felt a little embarrassed.

The three children took turns to read the letter, and Pian Pian counted with his fingers, "The second brother said that he would come back after the results, but Qiu Yu is not better than the boy test, and there are more people who participate in Qiu Yu, I am afraid that it will take about a month to get results, so won't the second brother have to wait more than a month to come back?" It's not right, maybe the second brother really won the move, and then he will have to gather with his friends and have a banquet for the master, so there will be a delay. Speaking of which, the time for my second brother to come back is simply far away. ”

Jin Niang's face was a little gloomy when she heard this, "I don't know, who is right about this." ”

Pian Pian also sighed, "I also want my second brother to help me bring some fresh playthings from Fucheng, and if you can't buy me some new styles and clothes." I'm bored at home all day, and I'm eager for my second brother to bring me something good to relieve my boredom. It's a pity that the second brother doesn't have that heart at all, he has been out for so many days, and every time he sends a letter, he doesn't have anything else except for asking people to bring some pastries by the way. The second brother is really a tendon, hum, I don't like him anymore. ”

Jin Niang spread her hands, and there was no way. What can I do, Xu Erlang doesn't have those romantic feelings at all, he can specially let people send some delicious pastries, he already has a heart. Expect him to send some pearl cui ayaluo that the little girl likes, hehe, that's a fool's dream.

Chang'an Changping also seemed to think of his second uncle's cold appearance, and the cold second uncle bought red and willow green clothes and playthings for his little aunt? They were so frightened when they thought about that scene that they all shuddered.

Pian Pian was still chattering at this time, "I don't know if Xuanxuan has anything to do at home, is she as boring as me, sister-in-law, do you think I'll take Xuanxuan over to play again?" ”

Jin Niang glared at her, "Xuanxuan just went back the day before yesterday." ”

"But I think Xuanxuan has been gone for half a year, alas, it's really a long time."

"Since you're in a panic, why don't you come over and help your sister-in-law check the account book? My energy is getting shorter and shorter, and now I am very sleepy, and I want to sleep all day. Since you're bored, why don't you give your sister-in-law a hand? ”

Pian Pian stumbled and wanted to go out, "Isn't there Mama Qin in this matter?" Mama Qin is very good at handling account books. It seemed that she felt that she was too ruthless to say this, Pian Pian thought about it and looked back pitifully and asked Jinniang, "I left to help my sister-in-law reconcile the account book, and my sister-in-law let Xuanxuan come into the house to play with me?" ”

"It doesn't work. Xuanxuan also has parents and brothers, and she also has to be filial to her parents. ”

"Then when I finish processing the account books, can I go to Xuanxuan to play? Hey, hey, Xuanxuan can't come and play with me, I can go and play with her, and I can stay with Xuanxuan for two days. ”

This is even less so.

Jin Niang shook her head in her heart.

The Lin family is not as big as the Xu Mansion, the Lin family house is small, although there is also a front yard and a backyard, but the front yard is full of students who are studying, and there are a few families living in the backyard with a few servants. Let's not say that the place is small, the living is crowded, and Pian Pian can't live there, let's just say that there are so many students in the front yard, and there is a young child in the back yard. Men and women are not at the same table at the age of seven, not to mention that Qing'er is now ten years old, and Pian Pian is also seven years old. Jin Niang didn't think that such a young child would have any friendship beyond friendship, but ancient children matured early, and this had to be guarded against. Especially Pian Pian is a girl's family, her reputation is important, and a foreign man, yes, for Pian Pian, not only those students in the front yard are foreign men, but Qing'er is also a foreign man. She lives in the same courtyard with Qing'er, and there is no way to tell if someone is gossiping. So no matter what way you think about it, you can't let her go.

Jin Niang picked and told the reason, although Pian Pian was a little depressed, she still agreed silently.

Later, she stayed to help Jin Niang reconcile the account books, and Jin Niang got free time to go back to take a nap.

Just when the Xu family was eagerly looking forward to Xu Erlang's return to the house, Xu Erlang was visiting the seriously ill Xin Wei in Xin Mansion with three or two friends at this time.

Xin Wei was carried out by the officials on the fifth day of the imperial examination, but fortunately, the Xin family had a clear understanding of the fact that his body was poor, so they arranged for someone to guard outside early.

Xin Wei was carried out, and he was poured ginger tea by his brother, and then when he went to the house, he was diagnosed by the old doctor who had been invited a long time ago to check his pulse and drink medicine.

This series of actions can be said to be untimely and fast, but even so, Xin Wei still had a high fever for several days.

When Xu Erlang and the others relieved themselves to visit, Xin Wei was still a little hot, but fortunately, the situation was much better than a few days ago.

Xin's mother knew that several people were Xin Wei's friends, so she deliberately took the time to come out to meet a few people.

Although the Xin family is a prestigious family, Xin's mother is also a clan woman from a family, but she does not have the eyes of ordinary family ladies who are above the top and aggressive.

praised a few people again and again, and then led a few people to the courtyard where Xin Wei lived.

Xin Wei was in a lot of spirits, and when he saw a few friends, he had a more happy look on his face.

But when mentioning the past scientific expeditions, Xin Wei still couldn't help but regret, "I thought I could be on the list this time, and let my family see it, although my body is weak, when it comes to fighting for my family, I am not far behind." Unexpectedly, I didn't even survive to the end, just like a deserter, I retreated halfway. ”

Zheng Shunming disagreed, "How can you be a deserter? Deserters don't think you do. ”

Xu Erlang also rarely made a joke, "You are retreating strategically." ”

Suqian also smiled when he heard this, "The green mountains left are here, and I am not afraid of no firewood." It's okay for Brother Xin Xian to quit halfway, if he really wants to stick to the end, he will leave his life behind. Waiting for another three years is not a good thing for you, after all, there are many good things, and after three years, you can't say that you will be Xie Yuan. ”

Wang Ke also quipped, "Then I will congratulate Duke Xie Yuan first......

Xin Wei was explained by several people, and his mood was much better, and he laughed. Brother Xin came back from the barracks to visit his younger brother, and when he heard his younger brother's laughter, his frowning eyebrows also relaxed.

Although the younger brother looks free and easy, in fact, because he is weak and cannot join the army like his father and brother at home, he has always felt a little inferior in his heart. coincided with this scientific examination, and because his body dragged down the exam, he was even more depressed in his heart, so that these days, he was worried, but now he is okay, it is good to be able to laugh.

Xu Erlang and the others stayed in Xinfu until it was dark at night, and then they said goodbye and left.

waited until a few people parted ways on the street corner, Xu Erlang rubbed his frowning eyebrows, and had a headache.

Zheng Shunming said, "Drink too much, right?" ”

"Not really." Xu Erlang said, "I only drank one light, and the tea I used the rest of the time was not drunk." It's just that I've been working hard for the past few days, and I'm quite tired. ”

Hearing him mention this, Zheng Shunming was also a little embarrassed. He also felt the same way, this kind of exhaustion is not physical exhaustion, but purely psychological fatigue. In the final analysis, it's still the Qiu Yu incident. From preparing for exams, to exams, to now, there is so little free time that they have not recovered yet.

Zheng Shunming said, "If you are not restless, you will be restless all the time, and you will be tired." When you get home, it's fine. ”

Xu Erlang nodded, but didn't say anything more, the two went back to the small courtyard where they lived, and went to sleep after washing up.

Xu Erlang originally thought that he would go back after waiting for Qiu Yu's results, but an incident happened the next day, which made him annoyed and went back to Pingyang Town directly.

Speaking of this, he also forgot it negligently, otherwise he would not have almost fallen into the way of people.

The matter is still the matter of "catching a son-in-law under the list".

Earlier, when Xu Erlang entered Shuozhou City, he felt that he was being targeted. But the man was not malicious, and he tried to stop, so he didn't pull people out and torture them.

Later, I learned from Xin Wei that the tradition of "catching a son-in-law under the list" can make Xu Erlang disgusting enough. So far, he doesn't even have time to go out, and even when he goes out, his sitting position is remote and close, just trying to live quietly.

Fortunately, he really had a lot of peaceful birthdays.

But Qiu Yan was almost grabbed by his arm that day, selling the girl, Xu Erlang was really annoyed. He was about to enter the Tribute Academy, so he could only ask Mohe to pull people out first, and then come to "return" after he finished the exam.

It's a pity that after the exam, there is no stop, either to go to the banquet of fellow students, or to visit the rare path of Confucianism at the invitation of friends, or to go to the bookstore to find some precious books that will not be passed on to the world at all.

He was so busy flying that he forgot all the things he had told Mohe before. Bimohe thought that Gongzi still remembered this matter, and he would only deal with it when he was free, and he didn't mention it much.
