Lin Zhizhi's return home did not have any impact on Lin Jiaruo's daily arrangements.

Because her master never returned, Lin Jiaruo practiced martial arts by herself in the morning and evening in the past few months, the difference is that the place where she practiced calligraphy changed from Zifangxuan to Pingzhai every afternoon, and Lin Zhizhi personally stared at her to practice calligraphy.

Lin Jiaruo knew that the eldest brother was going to prepare for the autumn exam in a month, and he should not be disturbed when he was reading, but he was more conscious and diligent than when he was in Zifangxuan.

The story of the only son of the Sun family breaking his leg soon came out, and the Sun family also faintly released rumors, saying that they had offended the Lin family, and they were saying that the Lin family had retaliated for breaking Sun Ying's leg.

But after all, there is no evidence, and the rumors dispersed within a few days, because the triennial autumn exam is about to be held, and two people from the Lin family will participate in the autumn exam this year.

Lin Zhizhi's 12th middle school is a young talent known to everyone in Hangzhou, and even the prefect has high hopes for him.

Although Lin Shisheng is not as good as his nephew, since last year, the whole person has taken on a new look, not only in the poetry has a tendency to open up, but also the articles that he has abandoned for many years have also picked up, it is said that he has been studying behind closed doors since last year, and intends to make a splash in this year's autumn exam.

In addition, most of the major talents who were favored in the autumn test were Lin Zhizhi's classmates and friends.

The Lin family is showing a rising trend, and no one wants to offend the Lin family at such a time.

The autumn examination is divided into three sessions on August 9th, 12th and 15th, the first one is to test the scriptures, the second is to test the strategy, and the third is to test the poetry.

Each exam is one day earlier and the next day.

On August 8, after Lin Jiaruo sent his father and eldest brother into the examination room, he went around at home for a day, and early in the morning of August 10, he went to the examination institute with the family's carriage to pick up people.

Because Xu Yaoning was ill, Lin Jiaruo could only follow the carriage of the big house to pick him up.

When I arrived at the entrance of the examination institute, I was already waiting for a lot of carriages.

After waiting for about half an hour, the first batch of candidates to hand in their papers came out.

Although Gan and Lin Jialan were also anxious, they were inconvenient to go out to see because of their identities.

Lin Jiaruo ran outside regardless of it, and when Lin Zhizhi came out, she saw it at a glance.

Among the crowd, among the most brilliant teenagers, Lin Zhizhi is still the most outstanding one, without dazzling brilliance, but like a pearl like jade, warm and moist, but it cannot be ignored.

"Big brother!" Lin Jiaruo shouted excitedly.

Lin Zhizhi saw his carriage, said goodbye to his friends, and walked towards Lin Jiaruo with a smile.

Lin Jiaruo looked at him, and seeing that he was in good spirits, he was relieved, turned his head and asked the other person who came over: "How did Brother Ah Zhan do in the exam?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain of the carriage was lifted.

Lin Jialan's beautiful face had a hint of eagerness, and the moment she saw Gu Zhan, her face turned red with a "swish", and the whole person shrank back again, leaving only the car curtain swaying helplessly.

Lin Zhi broke the silence with a chuckle.

Gu Zhan looked a little unnatural, laughed dryly, and said to Lin Jiaruo casually: "Why do you just ask me, don't ask your eldest brother how he did in the exam?" ”

Lin Jiaruo said in surprise: "My eldest brother is Xie Yuan, what is there to ask!" ”

Lin Zhizhi laughed and rubbed her hair.

Gu Zhan looked at the confident and domineering brother and sister speechlessly.

The curtain of the car flickered again, and this time it was Gan's who appeared.

Gan asked a few words gently, and then looked at the door of the examination hall, and everyone was almost gone, and it was about to be closed.

"Where's my daddy?" Lin Jiaruo was a little anxious.

Lin Zhizhi explained: "Today is the day of submission, and it will be submitted in three batches, and the third uncle may have to submit the papers in the next two batches. ”

Gan had already thought about this problem, so when he came out, there were two carriages, so he asked Lin Jialan to accompany Lin Zhizhi to take a carriage back, and Gan accompanied Lin Jiaruo to continue to wait.

At noon, another batch was released.

Lin Jiaruo was seriously looking for Lin Shisheng's figure in the crowd, and a voice sounded not far away: "Isn't this Brother Shisheng's daughter?" ”

The voice carried an uncomfortable banter, even the little Lin Jiaruo felt that the comer was not good when he heard it.

"Aaron?" Gan sounded a little uneasy in the car.

Lin Jiaruo turned his head to look, a little familiar, and asked uncertainly: "Da Langjun is the thirteenth?" ”

Ignoring the other party's stiff face, he turned back to Gan and reassured: "Auntie, this Da Langjun is a friend of my father's former friends in the West Lake Poetry Society, I don't know in which year the county took the thirteenth place in the exam!" ”

When Gan heard that he was a scholar, he also let go of half of his heart, and the other half still carried it, listening carefully to the conversation outside.

Although the thirteenth person was unhappy to hear, he didn't have trouble getting along with a little girl, that is, he smiled coldly and asked knowingly: "Is Little Miss Lin waiting for your father?" ”

Lin Jiaruo nodded and asked politely: "Does Da Langjun also participate in the autumn exam?" Is it still going well? ”

The thirteenth person smiled conceitedly: "It's okay, out of caution, it was still delayed until noon, what?" Your daddy hasn't come out yet? In the end, the look of ridicule is undisguised.

Lin Jiaruo nodded: "Yes, Daddy is more cautious than Da Langjun!" ”

The thirteenth choked and snorted softly: "Then I'll wait for the good news of Brother Shi's birth!" ”

How could Lin Jiaruo not see his inadequacy, and snorted lightly: "I also wish Da Langjun another thirteenth place in the exam!" ”

The thirteenth place in the township test is not low, if someone else is such a greeting method, he is happy in his heart, but this little girl ......

That's it, that's it.

The thirteenth walked away with a blank face.

It wasn't until dusk that Lin Shisheng crowded into the last batch of candidates and walked out with tired steps.

After all, Lin Shisheng started late, and no matter how hard he worked for a while, he couldn't catch up with the progress of other students in the past ten years, so he had a very difficult exam.

went back and wrote the article silently, and after Mr. Xiaoshan read it, he pondered for a long time and said: "Medium level, if the remaining two are excellent, you can still win, but the ranking is not easy to say." ”

Lin Shisheng was determined.

In the next two exams, the Lin family's uncle and nephew both handed in the papers in the morning, and Lin Shisheng's expression became more relaxed than the other.

On the day of the release of the list, I was more nervous than the serious exam, and before dawn, I sent a servant to wait in front of the laurel list, and almost the whole family waited in the reception hall in the front yard, just waiting for the good news to come, and opened the ancestral hall and reported to the ancestors with incense.
