The child stood on the shoulders of the two of them and threw one at a time, and the cheers around him were one after another.

Shen Xingqi looked at it vigorously, took out a few copper plates from his purse and threw them over, and after a while, someone buried the ground to pick up the money.

"The capital is indeed more prosperous than our Lin'an Mansion."

"You like it here?"

“......”

The little girl was silent for a long time, nodded and shook her head, "The capital is indeed good, but I still prefer to stay in Shenjia Village." ”

It was a sense of belonging that rose up in the depths of my heart that I didn't have anywhere else.

Cheng Xi laughed, and couldn't help Rua from putting her fluffy hair on it.

The next moment, she suddenly felt a familiar gaze fall on her, she looked up and saw three people sitting by the window on the third floor of the teahouse on the right, Shen Xingluo was one of them, even if he was dressed the most plainly, it was still impossible to ignore.

She chuckled, and the pear vortex on either side of her cheek appeared.

"Hey, Brother Shen, there is a beautiful woman smiling at you!"

"Where? Hey, it's true. ”

"Brother Shen is really popular, and this face is afraid that many little ladies in Beijing will be tempted."

"What I'm saying is that maybe I can catch a son-in-law under the list, which is also a good story, isn't it?"

"The beauty downstairs is already outstanding, and such a smile adds a bit of freedom, how did I not know that there is such a person in the capital?"

Everyone joked, Shen Xingluo's face did not change, "That's Neiko." ”

“......”

There was a moment of silence in the teahouse box, and after a while, the pot exploded.

"It turned out to be Mrs. Shen!"

"Brother Shen, you are not kind, you have known you for so long and you still don't know that you have married a lady?"

"Since you have a fate today, why don't you invite your younger brothers and sisters to come up and talk about it?"

Shen Xingluo saw the surprised expression of the woman downstairs, so he nodded at her, Cheng Xi said a few words to the little girl beside him and quickly walked into the teahouse.

The box door was gently slammed.

Cheng Xi waited for the door to open and walked in, and after seeing the four of them, she said Sure enough, she listened to the conversation in the house downstairs, and knew that there were three people here besides Shen Xingluo.

"Husband?"

Shen Xingluo got up and took her hand, "Neizi Chengxi." This is Qu Shaojing, the little marquis of Wu'an Houfu, Qin Feng, the eldest grandson of the Qin family, and Du Yuansong, the son of Lord Du. ”

"I've seen a few."

"Brother and sister."

Several people returned the salute solemnly, and their expressions were much more serious than when they talked about it just now.

Qu Shaojing looked curiously and revealed his inner thoughts, Qin Feng smiled and looked easy-tempered, but Du Yuansong was stable and a little embarrassed between his eyebrows.

"Let's call Mrs. Shen next."

Cheng Xi remembered the names of the Shen family and the Du family, and laughed.

Du Yuansong sighed helplessly, and the air in the box was a little more casual because of the two of them.

"Qin Zheng and Qin Gongzi?"

"I know this! He went to Qin's Mansion early in the morning with mooncakes, and he didn't have time to chat with us today. ”

It was Qu Shaojing who spoke, "I don't know where he bought the moon cakes, I just said hello to him and smelled a sweet smell, for fear that I would snatch it, and I can't be stingy." ”

"......" doesn't have to be so exaggerated.

Cheng Xi glanced at Shen Xingluo and did not speak.

As a female roll, it was the first time to meet a few people, and everyone was a little restrained, and after saying hello and chatting for a cup of tea, they dispersed when they learned that there were still Shen family girls downstairs.

On the way back, Shen Xingluo told the relationship between several people one by one.

"Qin Zheng's bureau?"

"Yes, Brother Qin has been busy these past few days."

Cheng Xi only then knew that the two of them were not at home in recent days because they participated in this bureau and that bureau, including Qin Zheng's Friends Bureau, Lin'an Mansion Student Bureau, Guozi Supervision and Scholars Bureau, and so on......

Her ears were calloused.

But in the end, the only ones who could get into the box were the few people in the box just now.

Oh, and add a Liuzhou Yuhe Pavilion.

"Thank you for your hard work."

With so much communication, I must be tired.

Shen Xingluo chuckled, "It's not bad to experience." ”

In his previous life, he failed to make it this far, but in this life, his dream has come true, which is indeed an alternative experience.

"So you've seen Yu Heting these days?"

"Yes, there are still those people who were left in Wuzhen, and they arrived in the capital yesterday."

“...... Are they okay? ”

"It's inevitable that their minds will be affected, and if they can know that their brains are not good, they don't have to worry about the honor and disgrace of the family in the future."

"......" mouth is so poisonous, and it is an accident that she has not been killed.

On the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen Xingluo instructed Su Zhan to send the moon cake gift boxes to the Wu'an Hou Mansion, the Qin Mansion and the Yu Heting brothers' residences.

Because Du Fu has already sent it, it is really unreasonable if the other three do not send it.

On this day, everyone in the Shen family passed as usual, but since the morning it has marked an unusual.

First, Fuguang took Xu Lao to knock on the wooden door of the small courtyard, and then Cheng Daqian rode a horse and almost overturned the roof of the second courtyard, which made Cheng Xi stunned.

So the Shen family became lively all of a sudden.

Cheng Xi was very happy, Wangshu was also very happy, and the Shen brothers and sisters were even more happy to see Cheng Xi so happy.

"Su Zhan, go buy me something, let's have a good reunion tonight!"

"Yes, don't worry, madam, my subordinates will do it."

Su Zhan quickly went out with a note with a menu written on it, turned right through the alley and went straight to the largest vegetable market in the capital, while Cheng Xi pulled the two girls into the kitchen.

Mid-Autumn Festival moon cakes are indispensable, except for snow skin moon cakes, others are more delicious while hot, so they are simply placed at the end.

Cheng Xi took a piece of the best pig and planned to make a spicy boiled pork slice.

Slice the pork belly, take out another bowl, mix the egg whites, flour, salt, and cooking wine into a lake, and then spread it on the meat slices to marinate to taste.

Take a cabbage and divide the crisp leaves, wash and slice the ginger, cut the green onion into white sections and put it on one side, so that all the ingredients are ready.

"Let's boil the oil."

Cheng Xi stir-fried the bean paste with oil in the pot, and then put the washed cabbage leaves, green onions, ginger, soy sauce and other seasonings in, and evenly rolled a few times to mix them evenly.

"Shhh

"Creek cooking again? I haven't eaten it for a long time, and the old man has to taste it tonight. ”

"Don't worry, my daughter will definitely cook you a meal!"

A table was set up in the courtyard, and before it was dark, the two elders had already drunk one cup of one for you.

Cheng Xi added the marinated meat slices to the pot, simmered for a while and waited for the meat slices to be cooked before serving, sprinkled the minced dried chili peppers and peppercorns, and finally poured the reheated oil on the meat slices, making a stinging sound.

The smell of the seasoning and oil spread out again, and was carried by the autumn breeze to all corners of the small courtyard.

Incense kills individuals.

Fortunately, the owner next door had already gone to the Qin family's main house two streets away for the holiday, otherwise he would definitely come to the door with a smell.

"It's time to eat."

The dining table in the small courtyard was full of tables.

Boiled pork slices, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork, stir-fried fungus with yam, scrambled eggs with shrimp, shredded chicken, stir-fried rape......

When the three members of the Shen family and the two elders sat down one after another, Wangshu, Fuguang and Su Zhan also chose a corner to sit down.

Xu Lao couldn't wait for a long time, as the eldest person, he took the lead in picking up the fast son and starting at the boiled pork slices, and suddenly squinted his eyes when he entered the mouth.

"The meat is spicy, soft and chewy, and it is not old at all, it is worthy of my apprentice's craft!"

"You always eat more vegetables, and the cabbage leaves in the side dishes are also very good."

"Really?"

Xu Lao accurately caught a cabbage leaf in the second fastest, "Hmm-it's really tender, but this cabbage is spicier than the meat slices." ”

Enjoyable!

It's so spicy.

This kind of spicy is not the same as the spicy hot pot I have eaten before, the layers are more distinct, and the heat control of meat and vegetables is more accurate.

When Cheng Daqian saw this, where could he wait?

"I'll try it too."

He poured the fruit wine in the bowl into his stomach in one gulp, and Kuaizi immediately picked up the boiled meat slices and put them in his mouth, and narrowed his eyes in the next second.

The autumn breeze blows into the small courtyard and brings a bit of coolness, at this time it is very appropriate to eat some spicy food, and the body quickly warms up when one person goes down, and there is no longer the coolness just now.

On the night of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moonlight is amazingly bright.

After dinner, the dishes were removed, a few candles were lit and the mooncakes were replaced, but the fruit wine was left on the wooden table from beginning to end.

Cheng Daqian pulled his daughter and chatted for a few words, and then replaced it with an admonition.

"Girl, don't bully your uncle in the future......"

Cheng Xi's expression gradually became numb, and he turned to look at his master, and listened to the old man also speak.

"Playing silly during this time, right? Have you memorized the books I handed you over, and have you read all the codexes? ”

"......: "There are still such big men in the courtyard, can't you see it!"

！

At the end of August, the additional test that is neither called spring nor autumn came as scheduled.

The examination was presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and the examination venue was set up in the Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites in the capital, and Du Yunshan, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, was one of the officials who invigilated the examination.

As for the examiner, it was Zhou Xiang.

"Madame may call it a test."

"Okay, I'll try if I can try."

Cheng Xi said that she didn't pick, "This exam is divided into three sessions, each of which lasts for three consecutive days...... I'll go, it's the rhythm of human life. ”

She stared at the "exam rules" speechlessly.

"What kind of test paper can make a person do it for three days? You ancients really dare to think about it. ”

Is this a selection of scholars or martial arts champions?

No wonder that Xue Xiuwen wants to give up the exam, normal people don't necessarily stay for nine days as soon as they enter.

"I think that the major academies will have to add a psychology subject in the future, and if a person can live alone in a room for seven days in our place, he will be a man of God."

How much does the spirit and intellect have to be challenged?

Cheng Xi's compassionate eyes were too substantial, and Shen Xingluo was even more speechless than her, "This has been the case for thousands of years, and it's not easy to be an official." ”

"I've got it."

She said, "Do you need to prepare some food for you, how about instant noodles like instant food, a small stove and charcoal fire have to be brought in?" Bread OK not? ”

"I'll prepare it myself."

Shen Xingluo was helpless, "Madame forgot, I can fetch food in the space." ”

"yes, there was no surveillance in ancient times."

Cheng Xi slapped his head, and the worry in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant, "But you still have to bring something on your face." ”

But does that matter?

It doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter.

So in the first test, she pulled Shen Xingqi to hold Feng'er and personally sent people into the Tribute Institute of the Ministry of Rites, Yu Heting repeatedly expressed his gratitude, and Shen Xingluo, who was dressed in cloth, carried the basket and quickly disappeared into the dense preparation students.

Shen Xingqi, who didn't know, sighed, "My brother's body has always been very good, he should be able to persevere, right?" ”

"Of course, you have to believe him."

"Well, I believe that my brother is invincible!"

"...... where did you hear the word invincible?"

Until he could no longer see the blue in his sight, the little boy in Cheng Xi's arms became teary-eyed, "Brother, brother!" ”

"Your brother is going to the exam, so I'll be back soon."

"Feng'er is waiting for my brother to come back."

"Yes, that's good"

Shen Xingqi turned around and left his brother behind, "Feng'er Feng'er, is it okay to let my sister hug you?" ”

"Feng'er hug my sister."

The little guy seemed to remember the kindness of the chicken leg at that time, and he liked Shen Xingqi very much, so he poured over to her with his long hands.

Cheng Xi actually didn't have much patience for children, so he simply handed over this little trouble.

The entrance examination lasts for nine days, which is miserable for most students, and if you are lucky enough to encounter a neighbor in the toilet, it is simply the life of buying a lottery ticket.

"Looks like you're in luck."

"Not bad, ma'am, don't worry."

"Instead of worrying about you, you should worry about the students who are in the same class as you."

Anyone who is full of ambition and ready to exert his talents, when he encounters a demon, will sigh that fate is unfair, okay?

Cheng Xi flashed out of the space after making a deluxe version of the sandwich for him every day, and saw that Shen Xingqi was playing with Feng'er in the courtyard and went out alone.

Shen Xingqi's scientific expedition is smoother than expected, the location is impartial and there is nothing to be faulty, there are people smuggling three meals a day, and occasionally cooking a pack of fragrant instant noodles on the fire, don't enjoy the life too much.

And the students at the left and right ends of him are miserable, gnawing on cold steamed buns in their mouths and frequently tempted by food, but they still have to concentrate on answering questions, and the MMP in his heart has already swiped the screen.

If there's a barrage, it's probably a pattern of overlay, right?

Cheng Xi walked on the road and smiled very unkindly.

"Oh, if you see others unlucky, you're happier~"

She wasn't like that before.

Fallen, fallen.

In the next second, the sound of weapon fighting reached his ears, and Cheng Xi's heart froze, and when he turned the corner, he saw more than a dozen black-clothed people besieging a blue-clothed man.

The sword in the black-clothed man's hand did not contain a lake at all, and he beckoned to the posture of asking for the other party's life.

The martial arts of the besieged people are really not weak, but they can't stand the indiscriminate punching of the old master, and they are not even stabbed in the arm by a sword, and their facial features are exposed in Cheng Xi's eyes in a panic.

“！”

, or acquaintance?

Cheng Xi, who was going to watch the play, had to sigh and walked over in a few steps.

"Everyone, how about a discussion, I bought this person's life, and you can make a price?"

If you can do it, don't do it, and the problems that can be solved with money are not big problems.

Cheng Xi doesn't have any hole cards in the capital, she doesn't want to use force here at all, it's very troublesome to offend people in the imperial era, she can't sneak into people's mansions in the middle of the night and kill people, right?
