Chapter 87 Township Examination

"But I don't believe it. The so-called Zi Bu is strange and confused...... Gods and monsters, how can it be so easy to come across, my little nephew, I'm afraid he has some unknown strange disease......"

Mrs. Li looked at Xiaoru with an earnest face, and her eyes revealed full of expectations.

With such a strange gaze, Xiao Ru had a toothache, and she felt that it might be a very rare atavistic phenomenon, but first, she didn't see a real person, so she couldn't be sure, and second, even if it was really an atavistic phenomenon, how could she explain the theory of evolution to an ancient person, explaining that human beings evolved from apes with black hair, tails, and limbs, so there would be a situation where Xiao resembled ancestors...... If this kind of thing is spoken, maybe before dawn, Xiaoru will be burned on the fire.

Xiao Ru shuddered and closed her mouth tightly. Frowning, he looked at Mrs. Li, who was staring at him......

“…… Well, I've seen similar cases where the newborn child may be a little unhealthy, but it will recover after a while...... If, after a month, that little nephew of yours is still back to normal, find a way to bring him to my doctor's office. ”

Xiao Ru secretly pondered for a long time, most of the atavistic phenomena are incomplete in the embryo, and after a while, after the breeding is complete, it will naturally be fine, but even if it is not good, then his tail will be cut off by the roots, and there will be no aftermath in the future, the long tail is not bad, if it is black and thick hair, then Xiao Ru will have no way.

Mrs. Li was stunned, hesitated for a long time, but nodded, now his second brother has no heart to prepare for the exam at all, he is just seventeen years old, and he has not experienced anything usually, he is still a child, and when something happens, he will only sigh and complain. Nest at home and drink decadently, children and wives don't care.

The mother-in-law always felt that the daughter-in-law brought dirty things into the Li family, and either beat or scolded the daughter-in-law, making the ups and downs uneasy, and the father-in-law also invited several mages to come to the house to practice, but fortunately, the Li family was strict, so it did not leak the whole story, otherwise, I don't know what would happen......

If it goes on like this, the family is in a mess, not to mention, where is there any hope for the second brother's future, the Li family has a small population, if it can be solved smoothly, even if this year's autumn season can't catch up, and the exam will be taken again in three years, her second brother is only twenty years old, which is still very young.

Moreover, if the little nephew can recover, the mother-in-law will probably become the gentle and kind old lady again, instead of being as yin and yang as she is now, not only the younger siblings. It simply made the family tremble, and life was too difficult.

After the matter was clear, Xiao Ru suddenly realized, no wonder the people of Changlong Weaving sent Buddha statues to others, Mrs. Li was angry, people worked hard and carefully to hide the secret, you actually went to dig the bottom of other people, just dig it, and take the initiative to reveal it without eyesight...... Therefore, when you don't get 100% sure information, it's best not to act casually, and you must pay attention to this.

After a few more words with Mrs. Li, Xiao Ru vaguely heard Lou Yi's voice outside, it seemed that everyone had arrived, so she went out with Mrs. Li, and as soon as she left the private room, this Mrs. Li returned to the image of a gentle and generous lady, and the anxiety and irritability just now seemed to have never appeared in her.

The old man Gongsun and a few of them, sure enough, came back, Fu'er played with a little blushing face, as soon as she saw Xiaoru, she pounced, happily, and chirped that her river lantern went the fastest, and she was rewarded, holding a boat-shaped lantern with exquisite workmanship, and she smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth.

Xiao Ru couldn't help but smile too. wiped the sweat beads on Fu'er's forehead with a handkerchief, and walked to her mother-in-law's side, Lou Yi and Ding Feng were carrying a wine jug alone, but Lou Yi drank wine, and Ding Feng poured water, while drinking, he also muttered to the old man Gongsun, looking very childish, and the old man Gongsun didn't say anything about them, so they played like a half-grown child, it seems that these two brothers have never grown up in a certain aspect, and they can't get rid of this old man.

The Lou family didn't go out of their way to say goodbye to Mrs. Li, and after a few gossips with their family, they went back by car.

When she got home, Xiaoru began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets, turning out the mint cooling paste she had made before.

"Lady, why don't you sleep yet...... Lou Yi took off his coat, finished bathing, returned to the room, and touched his daughter-in-law's soft and boneless waist. wanted to be close to his wife, but as a result, his daughter-in-law waved her hand like a fly, blasted him aside, and didn't pay attention to him at all.

Lou Yi blinked, tiredly went up, leaned against Xiaoru's back, circled her shoulders, and watched her open a sandalwood box that was always displayed on the wall, and found all kinds of delicate small porcelain bottles and palm-sized small gourds, "What is this?" ”

Lou Yi casually took a bottle. Seeing the label with the word 'mosquito repellent' on the flower body, I opened it and saw that there was a strange fragrance that was not unpleasant, but not so good, "For mosquito repellent?" ”

"Well, none of this is bad." Xiaoru nodded, "I tried to make it when it was hot in summer, but we don't have many mosquitoes in our house, so I don't use it much." ”

Lou Yi took out a few bottles in surprise and looked at them, and said with a smile: "This is all made by my daughter-in-law?" You really have the ability, this thing is not in the palace! ”

Xiaoru rolled her eyes, what is this, it is very simple, since she was idle, she tinkered with the distillation device, and asked the blacksmith of the Liu family to help her do it, although the alcohol is not yet possible, but the highly disinfected wine is no problem, these homemade things like flower water are also easy to make, but the control is not very good when distilling, and the storage time is not too long, and it will always get better and better when experimenting slowly, but it is not necessary to keep it for too long when you use it at home.

"I'm going to take the township test right away, if I hadn't met the young lady of the Li family today, I don't remember, Jiang Yu will also participate this year."

Xiaolou was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Fu'er's husband was going to participate in the township test this year, "Ah, then I will also send a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the old man gave several sets of good ones, as well as Fangduan inkstone, but I have been very busy recently." It's not very useful, and it's a pity not to use it. ”

Xiaoru nodded, although the township examination is not as important as the entrance examination, but this is the first step of the formal imperial examination, lifting people and showing talents is completely different, presumably for Jiang Yu, this is an important turning point in his life: "Let Fu'er not go to class these days, save Jiang Yu from reviewing his homework, I heard that it is very difficult in the examination room of the Gongyuan, and the inmates go in and walk around and come out after losing a layer of skin, although the weather is not hot now, but the candidates are nervous, and they don't know what will happen. Applying my ointment to the middle of the body will at least ensure that the mind is awake and not easy to get sleepy......"

Lou Yi was also happy, he and Ding Feng never thought about taking the imperial examination, but they were still interested in this kind of exam, and said with a smile: "The main examiner here is a tall man of the Hanlin Academy this year, that person prefers candidates with good writing, and likes magnificent words, I don't know if Jiang Yu is in line with his eyes......
