"Later, slowly, I embroidered very well, only if you study hard, you can embroider well."

He Tangerine looked at the amulet and said, "You embroider magnolia flowers?" ”

Ah Tao said with a smile: "Mother, you can actually see that I embroidered magnolia flowers." ”

He Tang said in his heart: "If it weren't for your father's liking of magnolias, I would often embroider magnolia flowers myself, otherwise I would have recognized that I was embroidering magnolias." ”

"Actually, the embroidery is still good, but the petals of this magnolia flower, you are not very good at embroidering, it is better for your mother to give you some guidance."

In this way, Ah Tao asked Chunhua to take the scissors, removed the thread of the magnolia petals, and re-embroidered it under the guidance of He Tangerine.

There has been nothing to do in the past few days, Song Huainan was idle in the house, but he also felt comfortable, so he went to the study to see how Qian Xizhou was reviewing.

"Brother Zhou."

Seeing Song Huainan coming, Qian Xizhou hurriedly got up to greet him, "Uncle cousin." ”

"Brother Zhou, you're going to take the imperial examination soon, are you nervous?"

For such an important matter, it must be a lie to say that he is not nervous, Qian Xizhou nodded and said, "Well, I am indeed a little nervous." ”

Song Huainan patted Qian Xizhou's shoulder and said, "It's not in the way, it's normal, my cousin is also very nervous when he participates." ”

Qian Xizhou also knows a little about his cousin and cousin, his cousin and cousin have been married since they were young, and later when their cousin became an adult, his cousin married his cousin, but his cousin's family fell at this time, and the He family withdrew from the marriage.

Later, my cousin studied hard, won the top prize in high school, and began to show his talents in officialdom since then.

So let Qian Xizhou realize that reading can really change people's fate, he has no father since he was a child, and his mother abandoned her and married someone else, but fortunately, his cousin adopted her, so that people can live a worry-free life today, he is not an ungrateful person, only by studying hard and gaining fame can he repay his cousin's family.

Only by becoming a master can he welcome his little cousin in the future, so that his little cousin can live a worry-free life.

When he was in the academy, the master told Qian Xizhou a lot about his cousin's affairs in the academy, saying that his cousin was a rare good student, very hard and diligent, and since then, he has regarded his cousin as his role model and become a person like him, and now the opportunity has finally come.

Song Huainan said: "Brother Nan, you are the top student of the country, how hard and diligent you are in your studies, my cousin and uncle are all in the eyes, and my cousin believes that you will be able to come out on top in this imperial examination." ”

"In life, if you want to protect your loved ones, the only way to make yourself strong, and reading, for our group of scholars, is the only way to make us powerful, do you understand?"

How could Qian Xizhou not understand, "Uncle cousin, don't worry, Brother Zhou will definitely not let you down." ”

Song Huainan smiled with satisfaction, "Very good!" ”

Soon, on the day of the imperial examination, He Tangtong got up early in the morning and went to the kitchen in person to let the people prepare breakfast.

After Qian Xizhou finished dressing up, he hurriedly came to the dining room for breakfast.

Ah Tao has finally made the talisman through the rush of the past few days, and Chunhua opened it and walked in and said: "Miss, my cousin is about to go to the examination room to take the exam, if you don't get up again, you will miss the hour, and you can't give the talisman to your cousin." ”

When Ah Tao, who was still asleep, heard this, she suddenly woke up, sat up and said, "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" ”

Chunhua said helplessly: "I just called you, Miss, but I can't wake up no matter how you call it." ”

"What time is it?"

"Miss rest assured, my cousin is still eating in the dining room, and my cousin will leave after a stick of incense. Therefore, it is too late for the young lady to go over and give the amulet to her cousin. ”

Since she had just woken up, Ah Tao's hair was still messy, she turned around, took out the amulet from under the pillow, and held it tightly in her hand.

"Cousin Zhou is leaving soon, I have to hurry up and give him the amulet."

So, Ah Tao, who has always been exquisite, didn't even bother to wash up this time, approved a cloak, and pushed the door to find Qian Xizhou.

Outside the gate of the Song Mansion, a carriage was parked at this time, and this carriage was to send Qian Xizhou to the examination room.

Qian Xizhou insisted on the things of the cloth bag again, and after confirming that nothing was missing, the little servant lifted the curtain and prepared to get into the carriage.

Suddenly, I heard a voice behind me calling to me, "Cousin Zhou, wait a minute." ”

Qian Xizhou turned around and saw that it was Ah Tao, she looked panicked, and seemed to have something important to find herself.

Qian Xizhou immediately got out of the carriage and said, "Ah Tao, what's wrong?" ”

Ah Tao took a breath, then handed the talisman into Qian Xizhou's hand, and said, "Cousin Zhou, this talisman I made with my own hands, although it is not very good, it is my heart, I hope he can bring you good luck." ”

Qian Xizhou accepted the talisman with a smile, and then said, "Then I'll accept it, thank you Ah Tao." ”

Ah Tao instructed: "Cousin Zhou, when you get to the exam room, don't be nervous, just treat it as the usual exam, I'm waiting for your good news." ”

Qian Xizhou stretched out his hand and touched Ah Tao's head, and said, "I know, it seems that our Ah Tao has really grown up, and we can embroider things for me by ourselves." ”

Ah Tao heard her praise, and her little face smiled very brightly, "Really? Cousin Zhou, do you really like the amulet I gave you? ”

Qian Xizhou nodded and said, "Well, I really like it." It's just that it's not early, and I have to go, or I'll miss the exam. ”

Now, Qian Xizhou is really going to get into the carriage.

Ah Tao watched the carriage gradually move away, and Chunhua said, "Miss, my cousin has left, let's hurry back to the house, you haven't washed yet." ”

When Ah Tao heard this, he suddenly came back to his senses and said, "Yes, I ran out before I washed, how can this work?" I need to go back and wash up. ”

On the other end, inside the carriage, Qian Xizhou looked at the amulet he held in his palm, which was the first time he had collected something from the girl's own hand, and he had a strange feeling in his heart.

He looked at the flowers on the amulet, embroidered his favorite magnolia, he turned the amulet to the other side, this side was embroidered with dazzling words: "Gold List Title." ”

He actually didn't believe in these things at all, but when he saw these children, his heart suddenly calmed down a lot, and he was not so nervous, hoping that this talisman could really bring him good luck.
