Xiao Tingchen put his bag on his back and waved at Su Jiu, "Your brother, I'm in." ”

Su Jiu nodded his little head seriously, and watched him step into the tribute courtyard.

She watched for a while, until she could no longer see the young man's figure, and then she was worried about returning to the Xiao Mansion.

As soon as he turned around, he saw that not far away, Si Dushu was talking to a girl wearing a flower cloth scarf.

The girl was born delicate, and she should have come to see her off, so she carefully handed Si Du a bamboo basket and said softly: "Brother Mei Ao, here is the dry food I made for you." When you finish the exam, I'll make you your favorite meat bun. ”

"Sister Ah Shui, you don't have to be so good to me. I, I'm ashamed, I'm embarrassed. ”

"If it weren't for the last time Brother Mei Ao rescued me from the bandits, how could I stand here now."

As the girl named Ah Shui spoke, she raised her hand and hooked a strand of hair behind her ear in shame.

She lowered her eyes, "Brother Mei Ao, I have no father or mother since I was a child, and now I have inherited my grandmother's tofu shop, and I have a thin income every day." If you will...... If you want, wait for you to go to Beijing next year to catch the exam, I, I'll entangle you......"

She was too shy to say any more.

Su Jiu knows that many children of poor families nowadays are devoted to studying, so the family's expenses and study are all handled by the good wives of the family.

What Miss Ah Shui meant by this was that she was willing to marry their head.

The autumn sun is warm.

In the distance, the persimmons of a tree were crystal red, and the branches were bent roundly, causing the chickadees to chirp on the branches.

At the entrance of the Tribute Academy, the crowded candidates and their families said goodbye to each other, and poured into the examination room like a tide.

Si Dushu and Ah Shui girl stood in the crowd like that.

Su Jiu hid behind the stone lions, and poked out his clean round eyes full of water to look at them.

When he saw Si Dushu scratching his head shyly, he immediately smiled and bent his eyes.

I like it,

Their housekeeper should be happy with this Ah Shui girl, right?

And what could be more wonderful for her than witnessing the birth of a marriage?

The little girl hummed a tune, stepped on the clean bluestone bricks with embroidered shoes, and happily returned to Xiao's Mansion.

Wisps of subtle scent from the depths of the earth linger around the edges of her swaying caryophyllum white dress, and finally converge into a pleasant autumn breeze that soars into the sky.

More winds converged in the nine skies, whistling all the way south.

They pass through the golden open fields, pass by the majestic mountains and rivers, send the wild geese who have migrated south, and send the people in the countryside a good harvest for a year.

Autumn in the south of the Yangtze River,

It's all in the silent west wind.

……

Nine days flew by.

When the candidates came out of the Gongyuan, their families were waiting outside and excitedly took them home.

Su Jiu didn't go, but only concentrated on making a table of good dishes in the small kitchen, waiting for Xiao Tingchen to come back.

The little girl sat in front of the stove, obviously not entering the examination room by herself, but she felt as if she had also fought a tough battle, and even the hand holding the iron tongs couldn't help but tremble.

Finally extinguishing the fire in the stove hole, she stepped out of the small kitchen with a disgraced face, and looked in the direction of the gate of Mingde Courtyard.

It was getting late, but the man was nowhere to be seen.

The small white hand on the door frame couldn't help but tighten quietly.

Just when the little girl was worried, a pair of warm palms covered her eyes from behind.

"Guess who I am?"

The gentle and sultry voice, with a slight lowness, is like a mellow peach blossom wine.

^^

The day before yesterday, the recommended votes were over 2,000, but they fell again in the past two days, crying and chirping.
