After returning from the county exam registration, An Chuxia was left in a private school by his teacher Gu Tongsheng and prepared for the exam with his granddaughter.

"Sister Ann! I'm going to be able to do it,

My grandfather made us do so much homework every day, and read so many books about the imperial examination, which was to exhaust our rhythm! ”

Gu Fangmiao's petite and round body naturally collapsed in the chair, sliding down as if there were no bones.

He didn't take a breath until he was comfortable.

An Chuxia sat on another chair, without raising her head, she was reading a policy for the township exam.

For more than a year, she has basically read all the books in this study.

The books in it include astronomy and geography, travelogues, and autobiographies of celebrities, and even the only book in the Gu family's collection, the teacher did not hesitate to take it out for her.

After that, it was carefully stored and put away.

Now that An Chuxia has mastered the knowledge, even the teacher Gu Tongsheng himself once said that he can no longer find out the truth and the truth.

Because he tried his best to learn the questions, he would be solved by An Chuxia in less than a cup of tea, and some of the questions even exceeded his expected answers.

The answer was more complete than he could have come up with on his own.

In early February, the county examination was examined.

The first rays of the morning light on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year slowly rose, and the weather in the south in February has become warmer, the grass grows and the warblers fly, and many flowers are in full bloom.

Runsheng drove the ox cart towards Lushan County with a whip in his hand, and An Chuxia, Gu Fangmiao, and An Jinchen who accompanied his sister to the exam were still sitting on the ox cart.

This time, there are two more Gu Tongsheng and Gu who are not worried and insist on coming along.

As soon as the ox cart was bumpy and swayed at the gate of the county seat, a tall figure walked over.

"You move to the back, I'll drive the ox cart!" Runsong patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said.

Runsheng looked at him in surprise, "Big brother, why are you here?!" ”

Runsong ignored his brother and turned his head to glance at the little girl who was lying on an old woman's lap.

Then he said to Gu Tongsheng and his wife and An Chuxia's brothers and sisters: "In the past few days, there are many people living in the inn, and it will be very noisy.

If you don't mind, you can temporarily stay in the small courtyard I rented, which is not only quiet, but also can cook and eat by yourself.

This also avoids the problem of too many people living in the inn and untimely food supply.

as well as some other inconvenient places. ”

Runsong's voice is both calm and well-toned, giving people a very safe feeling.

Because Runsheng often comes to pick up An Chuxia to and from school, Gu Tongsheng and Gu also know Runsheng.

I heard him call the man who drove the car the eldest brother just now, and I also understood that this person was a person who knew the roots.

So they didn't say no.

When An Chuxia asked their old couple for their opinions, Gu Tongsheng and Gu Shi thought that living in an inn would indeed have these problems.

If it were someone else, they would certainly not have agreed.

But the old couple could see that An Chuxia's brothers and sisters trusted this tall and strong man very much, and he was also Runsheng's own brother.

So they had nothing to worry about, so they decisively agreed.

The old couple didn't know that their granddaughter was targeted by a big-tailed wolf.

If he knew, he would definitely be urging him to spit on his face, but now the old couple doesn't know.

Runsong got permission and drove the ox cart directly to the small courtyard where he lived, and then stopped at the door.

“… It's here! ”

In the early summer, they got out of the ox cart and brought the things they brought, and Runsong opened the door and led them in.

The small square courtyard is cleaned cleanly, with three main houses in a row, and there are east and west wings on the two sides, and there is a well at the corner.

An old tree in the courtyard has just sprouted.

An Chuxia glanced at Runsong funny, it seems that Brother Runsong has been prepared for a long time.

Seeing that his careful thoughts were discovered, Runsong touched his nose, turned his gaze away, and led everyone into the house.

Everyone found a place to sit down, and the main seat was given to Gu Tongsheng and his wife.

Runsong took his younger brother and An Jinchen to serve tea, looked at Gu Tongsheng and Gu Shi and said, "Old gentleman and madam, is it feasible to live in the main landlord's house these days?" ”

Gu Shi was stunned, the main landlord's house is the room where the main family lives, and it is generally not allowed to be borrowed by guests.

Seeing the respect for his old couple in Runsong's bright and attentive eyes, Gu Shi and Gu Tongsheng glanced at each other, and said politely: "Our old couple is quite strong, so we don't need special care, just give us a place to live." ”

Runsong tried his best to ease the hard lines on his face, and said in a soft voice: "Then it's decided, the old lady and Mr. live in the east house, and Xiao Xia and Miss Gu live in the main house and the west house."

The three of us lived in the east and west wings. ”

After the room was arranged, Runsong couldn't see that it was too early, so he wanted to take them out for lunch.

In the end, she was stopped by the thrifty Gu family, according to her words, the food outside is expensive and not delicious, and the home is clean and nutritious.

I was afraid that men would not negotiate the price when they went out to buy vegetables, so I asked Brother Runsheng to take her out to buy the ingredients.

Gu Shi was still muttering when he came back from grocery shopping, Runsong would not live, and he bought so many chickens, ducks and fish at once.

Runsong's rugged face had a sincere smile, nagging by the old man.

After dinner, Gu Tongsheng personally checked whether the things to be used in An Chuxia and his granddaughter Gu Fangmiao's examination baskets were all prepared.

Then the two prospective candidates were asked to go into the house early to rest.

Gu Shi watched the two fall asleep, and then walked out of the house.

Back in the East House, Gu Tongsheng was holding a book and looking at it under the lamp, when he saw Gu Shi come in and asked, "... All asleep? ”

"The two girls have always been sensible, you let them rest early, and they dare not listen?"

Before Gu came in, he called a basin of hot water for Gu Tongsheng to wash.

Gu Tongsheng had always had no way to take his old wife, so he took the towel handed over by Gu Shi and wiped his face and hands.

As worried as the old couple, An Jinchen was also worried, thinking of his sister's first three county exams, he was nervously circling in the room at this moment.

"Brother Ah Chen, I beg you, don't go around like this again, I get dizzy when you turn like this!"

Runsheng sat on the bed after washing his feet, and involuntarily watched An Jinchen walk around, both eyes were about to turn into mosquito coils.

Runsong walked in and patted An Jinchen on the shoulder, and comforted: "Xiao Xia looks different from before, and he will definitely be able to do well in the exam this time." ”

An Jinchen "...... thank you, brother, I have been comforted!"

In the square west room, two little girls were sleeping on a large bed, and suddenly a sound of oopsing sounded in the dark room.

"Sister Ann! Why are you spanking me! Gu Fangmiao said aggrievedly while covering the place where she was beaten.

An Chuxia's helpless voice came from the darkness, "Xiao Miaomiao, if you turn me around again, I will kick you to the ground and sleep!" ”

Both of them have been lying on the bed for about an hour, and An Chuxia was stunned by Gu Fangmiao's tossing and turning on the bed, so that she didn't close her eyes now.

"Sister An, aren't you nervous?"

An Chuxia turned over and patted Gu Fangmiao's back gently, "Sleep!" Tomorrow we have to wake up early, there is nothing to be nervous about, just answer what we will do.

As for whether we can pass the county exam, this is not something we should be concerned about now. ”

An Chuxia is in a very calm mood now, nervousness or anything does not exist, I don't know how many exams I have taken in my previous life, and my psychological quality has already been exercised.
