"Brother Song, why should he be arrogant." Mao Mingxuan smiled helplessly.

"I'm not as good as you, it's not as good as you, there's nothing to be embarrassed to admit." Song Mingyi said with a smile: "Let's go, let's drink and celebrate for you!" ”

"Young master, my uncle said that he would come back for lunch today." Xiaohuzi interjected next to him.

Mao Mingxuan smiled apologetically at Song Mingyi and said, "Brother Song, we have to change another day." I'll treat you to a drink another day. ”

Song Mingyi smiled knowingly and said, "Okay! Let's just wait for the temple to finish the trial and then drink together. When the time comes, you will win the champion, please treat me to a good meal! ”

"Brother Song!" Mao Mingxuan glanced around, a little crying and laughing. Song Mingyi was really convinced of him, but the other people who participated in the Spring Festival didn't see it that way. Especially since he is still so young, he is already very hated! Song Mingyi still said that he would wait to celebrate his champion, so that others listened, and a sentence that was indispensable without knowing the height of the sky.

Although he doesn't care too much about the opinions of others, he is a little uncomfortable after all being watched by people like this.

Song Mingyi seemed to have only realized this later, and they were standing in the middle of a large group of lifters.

"Hehe, Brother Mingxuan, go back quickly, I'll go back to the inn first." Song Mingyi waved his hand, but he ran away.

Mao Mingxuan shook his head helplessly, ignoring the eyes of the people next to him, and quickly left with Xiaohuzi.

At Uncle Chen's house, Chen Ruzhu was accompanying the Su family to read the account book.

She also remembered the results of Mao Mingxuan's release today, so she was a little absent-minded. I didn't even hear Su Shi talking to her.

"Zhu'er, you concentrate on snacks! It's important to look at the ledger! You will become a mistress in the future, and you will have to be in charge of the grange and shop in the house. If you don't know how to read the ledger, those people will take all your money!" It's obviously a profit, but I'm stunned to say that it's a loss! Obviously made a fifty percent profit, but said that it was thirty percent! When the time comes, you will suffer a big loss! Su Shi said earnestly.

"E-niang, I know." Chen Ruzhu lowered her head weakly.

"You've been reading this book all morning, have you figured it out?" Su Shi frowned.

Chen Ruzhu shook her head and buried her head lower.

"Are you tempted by that kid?" Su Shi asked suddenly.

"Nope!" Chen Ruzhu hurriedly denied it, and her face turned red.

Su Shi sneered: "I didn't say who it was, so you are in a hurry to deny it, isn't this three hundred taels of silver here!" ”

The red tide on Chen Ruzhu's face faded and suddenly turned pale.

Seeing her like this, the look on Su's face changed again, and he said with a smile: "If he wins the top prize, E-Niang is not impossible to consider." ”

"E-niang!" Chen Ruzhu looked at Su Shi in disbelief.

She said before that even if Mao Mingxuan won the champion, she wouldn't consider it.

"I just said I could consider it, but I didn't say yes." Su Shi said lightly: "If you win the champion, you also have to see what kind of official you can be." If you are assigned to a poor country to be a small county magistrate, I am reluctant to let you suffer. ”

Chen Ruzhu's expression of joy just now darkened. She knew that E-Niang still didn't look down on Mao Mingxuan. But in her opinion, isn't Mao Mingxuan better than the squire son that Su said?

While the two were talking, the little guy outside came in to report, "Madam, the young master is back." ”

"The results are in?" Su Shi put down the account book in his hand and said, "What is the look on his face?" ”

"The little guy next to the young master couldn't close his eyes with a smile." The little guy replied.

Su Shi knew it in his heart, let the little guy go down, and wait for Mao Mingxuan to come over.

"Looks like you did well." She said.

Chen Ruzhu's heart suddenly swelled with a little joy.

After a while, Mao Mingxuan came in with Xiaohuzi.

Without waiting for him to salute, Su Shi said with concern: "How did you do in the exam?" Look at you refreshed, it should be good! ”

Mao Mingxuan smiled faintly, and just as he was about to speak, Xiaohuzi said proudly: "The young master has won the first!" Hit the Huiyuan! ”

He also knew that this aunt was lukewarm to his young master, so he would have the heart to show off and deliberately rush to say it!

A hint of surprise flashed in Su's eyes, and he immediately smiled: "Yo! That's pretty good! Your uncle will be overjoyed when he returns! Come on, let the kitchen add dishes for lunch today! ”

Chen Ruzhu also stood up and smiled at Mao Mingxuan: "Congratulations cousin!" ”

Mao Mingxuan smiled, and did not say anything modest, but said: "There will be a palace test in a few days, and it is too early to say congratulations." ”

"The palace can't be re-ranked, it's a fact that you won the list!" Su Shi said. She still knows a thing or two about the imperial examination. After all, Uncle Chen was admitted through the imperial examination in the first place.

"I guess I lived up to everyone's expectations of me." Mao Mingxuan said.

"Your uncle must be the most pleased!" Su Shi smiled.

Since this nephew lived in the house, Chen Junjie was particularly concerned. It is also to give personal guidance, to find teachers, and to inquire about examiners. is no less busy than his own son. Therefore, Su Shi's words are not bad.

"My nephew is most grateful to my uncle and aunt this time. If it weren't for you, my nephew wouldn't be able to prepare for the exam with peace of mind. Mao Mingxuan said.

Although Su Shi is not sincere to him, he should do nothing less in terms of face. For that alone, he couldn't be more grateful. If Uncle Chen was not in the capital, he was afraid that he would have to rush like Song Mingyi and live in a small inn, how could he concentrate on preparing for the exam so comfortably.

Su Shi didn't want to see Mao Mingxuan, but when he heard him say words of thanks, he still felt useful in his heart, so he smiled and said: "This is out!" Your uncle and I are very happy that you can come and stay. ”

It was almost time for Uncle Chen to come back, so Mao Mingxuan didn't go back to his courtyard, but sat at Su's place to drink tea.

Sure enough, before he finished drinking a cup of tea, Uncle Chen strode in.

"Mingxuan, you're really competitive!" Uncle Chen laughed out loud when he saw Mao Mingxuan. When he was in the Yamen, he had already asked people to look at the list. learned that Mao Mingxuan won the first place, and he also showed off in the yamen.

Mao Mingxuan hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Mingxuan also wants to thank my uncle for always bothering me." ”

Uncle Chen patted Mao Mingxuan's shoulder vigorously twice, and said loudly: "I didn't do anything, it's all up to you!" I said a long time ago, as long as you play normally, you won't do badly! But I didn't expect you kid to be so powerful, Zhonghui Yuan and Zhonghui Yuan! Five days later, if you win the champion again in one fell swoop, it will be a sensation! ”

"It's not easy to even win three yuan, my nephew didn't dare to think about it." In front of Uncle Chen, Mao Mingxuan was still very modest. Although the idea in his heart is to connect the three yuan, as long as he doesn't do it for a day, he won't say it.
