In front of the school gate, many people waited anxiously.

Huang Chengming's little servant looked at his gray-haired master, who kept pacing there, and he couldn't help asking, "Master, why are you so worried this year?" ”

Huang Chengming led the team to the exam not once or twice, except for the first time when he was inexperienced and a little uneasy, he always looked like an old god at other times.

He once said to his subordinates: "As gentlemen, we have fulfilled our responsibility to teach them carefully in the academy and to take care of their daily lives before entering the examination room and to prevent them from any accidents." How they are in the exam room, that's up to them. It's useless for us to worry. ”

So every time he led the team, he drank tea and read books in the county hall, and at most sent someone to come over to investigate.

Today is unusual.

"Well, you don't understand." Huang Chengming waved his hand, signaling the little girl not to bother himself, his eyes kept staring at the door of the school, exactly like other worried and anxious parents.

"It's out, it's out." Someone shouted.

Huang Chengming quickly cheered up.

Sure enough, the gate of the school was opened by two errand officers, and then there was a sound of gongs and drums, and ten candidates walked out of it.

Many parents and subordinates waiting at the door rushed up, and Huang Chengming acted gently, and his vision was suddenly blocked.

"Hey, hurry up, squeeze in and have a look, see if Du Jinning has come out." Huang Chengming hurriedly pushed his own little guy.

The little guy knew that the hope of the head of the Lishui County Mansion was in Du Jinning, thinking that he had guessed his master's thoughts, and hurriedly squeezed inside.

Fortunately, a total of ten candidates came out, and those who saw that there were no children of their own among these ten people, they dispersed, and the little guy squeezed to the front without much effort, and saw Du Jinning at a glance.

"Young Master Du, here and here." He hurriedly raised his hand and shouted.

However, Du Jinning didn't seem to hear his shout, and ran directly in the other direction. But it turned out that Lu Xiaobei and Wang Fulai also came to pick up people, and the two were very clever, so they crowded in front early in the morning, and just picked up Du Jinning.

The little guy hurriedly ran over and said to Du Jinning: "Young Master Du, my master has been waiting for you to come out over there." ”

Du Jinning was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked in the direction pointed by the little girl, and sure enough, he saw Huang Chengming standing under the big locust tree.

"Been waiting?" She sensitively caught the word and hurriedly asked, "When did you guys come?" ”

"It's been more than half an hour." The little guy said.

For most of the hour......

She hurriedly ran towards Huang Chengming's side, and said apologetically, "Sir, why are you waiting here?" After we finish the exam, we will go to the county hall, so you don't have to suffer here. ”

They all made an appointment, and after the exam, no matter where they lived, they would go to the county hall to explain to Huang Chengming and these gentlemen, so as not to worry about them. She really didn't expect Huang Chengming to come here and wait.

The people in the academy who came to participate in the government examination were all students from Class A, and everyone knew very well how fast they were doing the questions. Except for her, who helps cheat, even if the others do the questions smoothly, they will not come out of the examination room early, and they have to grind here until they have to hand in the papers. This is a sign of prudence in the examination and a practice that the gentlemen in the college have praised for it.

Because she has always been a fast gunner, and the quality of the questions is guaranteed, the gentlemen did not force her to do the same.

In other words, Huang Cheng came here early tomorrow to wait, and there was no one else except her.

"It's okay, it's okay, I can't sit still in the county hall, come out for a walk." Huang Chengming waved his hand, looked at Du Jinning's face, and saw that her expression was brisk, and her spirit was good, without the slightest malaise or frustration and annoyance, and her heart was slightly relieved.

He said, "What are you going to do in a hurry?" If you're not in a hurry, follow me back to the county hall. ”

Du Jinning hesitated for a moment and scratched his head embarrassedly: "Why don't you go back to the county hall first, sir, and I'll come later?" As he spoke, he stretched out a white and tender finger, "Just a cup of tea, soon." ”

Huang Chengming also knew that people had three urgencies, and Du Jinning had stayed in the examination room for so long, so he must have to deal with some personal internal affairs urgently, so he had the question just now.

"Go, go, but not too long. Before you come out, change your clothes. Huang Chengming said, and told Lu Xiaobei, "Your young master came out at this hour, and he is probably hungry." Hurry up and get some food for him. ”

As he spoke, he nodded and led his little servant away.

Huang Chengming's little servant was a little stunned.

My lord hurriedly came to wait for most of the hour, just to say such a few words?

Du Jinning didn't have time to think about it so much, so he sent Huang Chengming to walk a few steps, then went back to the small courtyard with fire, and went to the toilet to deal with housekeeping first, and then came out to wash his face.

"Young Master, are you going to eat first or what?" Lu Xiaobei came over and asked.

He knew Du Jinning's style of acting, and he had already asked his mother-in-law to cook all the meals at home. Du Jinning wants to eat, so he has to eat immediately when he sits down, and he doesn't have to wait.

Du Jinning hesitated for a moment, remembered Huang Chengming's advice, and asked, "Is there anything I can take to eat on the road?" ”

Seeing that Lu Xiaobei didn't answer immediately, she knew no. She waved her hand and said, "Don't eat first, you run fast, go to the snack shop outside to buy me a bun, I'll eat a bun to pad my stomach first, and then eat when I come back from the county hall." ”

"Okay." Lu Xiaobei agreed, and quickly rushed out of the door. But before he could breathe two breaths, he came back and said, "No." Before I came, my aunt repeatedly told me that I didn't ask you to eat outside, for fear that eating bad things would cause you to have a stomach and affect your exam. ”

At the beginning, he called Chen "wife", but Chen felt that he was an ordinary peasant woman, and if Lu Xiaobei's parents were still alive, her status would not be as high as others. So he didn't let Lu Xiaobei call him like this, but only let him call himself "aunt".

"Okay then." Du Jinning touched his stomach and went out resignedly.

Lu Xiaobei also knew that Huang Chengming was in a hurry to find Du Jinning, so he had already asked Wang Fulai to set up the mule cart and wait at the gate of the courtyard. Du Jinning got into the car, and Wang Fulai drove to the county hall.

"Coming? Have a seat. Huang Chengming had returned to his usual leisurely mood at this time, sitting at the table with a teacup, and was flipping through a book.

Du Jinning went over and sat down across from him.

"Tell me about your exams." Huang Chengming said.

Du Jinning was puzzled, but he still carefully explained the situation during the exam.

"You mean, you handed in the test papers, and Governor Zhou didn't even look at them, so he told you to leave? And the face is still very bad? Huang Chengming asked.

"Yes."

"You write both articles." Huang Chengming pointed to the four treasures of the study that had been prepared long ago.

Du Jinning knew that there must be something strange about things, so he didn't ask much, and honestly wrote two articles.

Huang Chengming took the two articles and read them for a while, his expression became more and more solemn, he stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet someone." ”

Du Jinning couldn't help but ask, "Sir, what's going on?" ”

Huang Chengming pointed to a plate of mung bean cake on the table: "This is what I specially asked someone to make, it is very clean, you can eat it on the road." As for Zhou Dongping's matter, I'll tell you when I get in the car. ”

Du Jinning blushed a little.

When she spoke just now, her stomach "growled" twice.

She was not polite, pinched a piece of mung bean cake and stuffed it into her mouth, then directly picked up the saucer and followed Huang Chengming into the car.
