Chapter 47 Preparing for the County Examination
Father Su entered the inn with a worried heart.
It's only February now, but it makes him feel hot and dry, and his forehead is already sweating because of nervousness.
It wasn't until he entered the inn and saw the way the man looked at him in the lobby that Father Su felt that his friendship with his friends must have not changed.
"Brother Su, long time no see." The man did not carry a sword today, and the expression on his face was much gentler.
Su Feng pulled Su Miaomiao to his side and said, "Brother Xu, I haven't seen ...... for many years."
"This is my daughter Miao, I have seen your Uncle Xu."
Su Miao shouted.
Brother Xu smiled: "Your daughter is much better than you were at the beginning, let's go into the house and eat." ”
After entering the house, Brother Xu drank too much, and then said: "I remember that you are very chic, and you act regardless of the consequences, and you are even more arrogant, your daughter is much better than you, I want to see you, and she has to ask me to promise again and again, if you were so cautious at the beginning, you will not end up like this." ”
He said, silent for a moment, and said, "You really plan to stay here for the rest of your life?" ”
Su Miao was on the side, acting as a listener, and could only get a message from it.
Her dad used to be a pretty good guy, but now ......
Father Su's face was flushed after drinking, and when he heard this, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "I just want to live a peaceful life with my family now, but I really don't have the vigor I used to have, you don't have to move me, I am very satisfied with my current life." ”
can eat and wear without worrying, and his family is safe and sound, he is already very satisfied, what more can he hope for?
When Brother Xu heard him say this, he didn't say more, but said: "It's okay, but you have to be careful in the future, I heard that they are still looking for you." But I shouldn't have imagined that you would be here, if it weren't for you saying that your hometown is here, I'm afraid I won't see you in my life. ”
Father Su talked to Brother Xu for a while, and then he and Su Miao prepared to go back.
When the moon hung high, Su Miao wanted to come out to boil a pot of tea, but she saw her father standing in the yard.
"Dad, what are you doing?" She put the boiled tea on the table in the courtyard and said, "When I saw Uncle Xu today, did you remember those things in the past?" ”
Father Su nodded, and said nostalgically: "At the beginning, you Uncle Xu and I were partners and best friends, but later, we separated, I didn't expect that after more than ten years, there would be opportunities to meet." ”
Su Miaomiao was curious about her father's affairs, and her heart was itching, but she didn't know how to ask, so she didn't dare to open her mouth.
It was Father Su, after glancing at her, he said with a smile: "Miao Miao wants to know what happened to my father at the beginning, right?" ”
"Daddy wants to tell me?" Su Miaomiao endured the excitement in her heart, and she had already imagined in her mind how thrilling her father had been.
Seeing her so excited, Father Su couldn't help but say, "What Brother Xu said is not right, you are actually similar to me when I was young." ”
"At the beginning, I relied on a good painting, when I first entered the capital, I got acquainted with Brother Xu, Brother Xu is doing things for people, and someone needs someone to reproduce the appearance of the treasure troves of major families, search for evidence, and I will be with Brother Xu."
This matter can be regarded as a sacrifice for the royal family, but it was the previous emperor, and after the current emperor took office, those nobles who were about to decline suddenly rose again.
After the death of the previous emperor, he wanted to seek revenge on him.
Because his drawings are outstanding, he was even sent to steal and draw the defense maps of other countries, so that even the enemy countries were afraid of him and chased him several times.
He is just an ordinary person who has no power to restrain his hands, except for his single-handed painting skills, he can't even protect himself when he encounters danger.
When he separated from Brother Xu, it was the last decision he made, telling Brother Xu that when he completed the last task, he planned to return to his hometown, so that Brother Xu would come here to try his luck.
But the last mission, he failed to complete, but was seriously injured, and then stumbled all the way back.
Once when he and his eldest brother's family went to visit relatives in other cities, they encountered a chase, which led to the loss of his eldest brother's eldest son, and it also became a piece of his heart, and he always felt that it was difficult to face his eldest brother.
Su Miaomiao silently remembered it in her heart, remembering everything she knew today, and no one could tell her.
This matter is very involved, and these people offended by her father are afraid that the people of a village can't be compared.
In order to protect her family, Su Miaomiao could only swallow it.
But her uncle's son must be found.
"Dad, go back, it's cold outside." Su Miao saw his father slowly squatting on the ground, covering his face with his hands, and his face was full of tears.
"Miao, it's all my fault, if it weren't for me, your cousin wouldn't have been found so far."
Every time he thought about it, he felt guilty.
Seeing this, Su Miaomiao could only comfort: "My cousin will definitely be able to find it, my aunt told me about some characteristic birthmarks of my cousin, and I will definitely find him." ”
In the future, if she has the opportunity, she would like to go to that city to have a look, and maybe she can find it. It's just that after so many years of separation from their relatives, their Su family can't pay it back.
Father Su's mood stabilized a little, and he nodded and said yes.
The county exam came in a hurry, Su Jinghe is going to see the children's examination this year, if he passes the exam, I am afraid that he will be the youngest child in the whole town.
The village chief has always remembered what Xie Huaizhi said before, so in the two days that followed, he came over almost every day to ask Su Jinghe how he was doing his homework.
Got Su Jinghe's modest words, and said bluntly: "I see that you will definitely be able to pass, but the master of the school often praises you with me, at such a young age, if you pass the Tongsheng examination, I will see the village chief of another village in the future, and my face will be bright." ”
The county test is a total of five, after the family discussed, I feel that I might as well find an inn to live in, saving the back and forth.
Staying in the inn can also make him calm down and think about the content of the exam later.
The day before the exam, the Su family went with them, and after arriving at the place, they began to pack up in various ways, just wanting Su Jinghe to live more comfortably.
"It's quiet here, what you want to eat and drink, you're welcome." Father Su took out one or two pieces of silver, put them in the palm of his hand, and said, "This silver, my father doesn't want to see you get it back." ”
Su's father knew that his son was not a wasteful person, so he was forced to use it.
Su Jinghe nodded.
"Big brother, this is the snack I prepared for you, if you are hungry at night and don't want to go out of the house, take it out and eat."
Su Miaomiao put the food she had prepared in the box, opened it for Su Jinghe to see, and said, "There is everything here, the taste is excellent, most of it has been brought to you, don't be hungry." ”
