The second baby is very happy these days.

There was no longer a strange noise of yin and yang in Liushui Street, and the old master didn't know if he was scared or what, and he never came here again.

The streets returned to their long-lost tranquility, and the days passed like this.

The second baby's firewood is getting more and more stable, the rice is getting better and better, the books are reading more and more, and her face is calm, no longer like a child.

Finally, at noon one day, Lu Shen said, "It's okay." ”

Erwa put down the book and blinked.

Lu Shen said: "Soon it will be the children's test, you go to participate." ”

Erwa was shocked when he heard this, although there is a children's examination every three years, and then he is officially qualified to participate in the imperial examination, but he is still young now, and he shouldn't study for a few more years to be more sure?

Lu Shen said: "Time should not be used as a bargaining chip in the exam, if you fail this time, it proves that you don't have this talent, then don't read it in the future." ”

Erwa saw the calm expression of the gentleman and knew that he was not joking this time.

Because Mr.'s expression this time is the same as the last time he said that he wanted to shoot the old master, he said that he would shoot it, and he was not ambiguous at all.

If he can't pass the test this time, it is estimated that Mr. will really not teach him again.

As soon as the second baby thought of this, she said with a bitter face: "I promise to complete the task!"

.......

Erwa went to the township exam alone, and he was the youngest child in the exam in the whole town.

Until he sat in the examination hall in the children's exam inexplicably, he still didn't react.

After a few moments, he stubbornly looked at the test paper on the table, then picked up the brush and began to solve the problem.

The young man's height was not much taller than the table, and the hand holding the pen was still trembling slightly, and when he saw this scene, the old master who was invigilating subconsciously showed a faint smile, thinking that it was still too small.

It's just that no one knows that the young man's heart has exploded at this moment.

He wasn't trembling because of nervousness.

It's because of fear.

Why?

Because he seems to have read all of these questions?

........

At the end of the children's test, the second baby returned to Xinsha Town with a distraught face, and saw the gentleman who was still lying in the shop, and his heart slowly calmed down.

But before he could speak, the gentleman first asked, "Can you remember what you have learned?"

The second baby was stunned for a moment and said, "Naturally, I can remember." ”

The gentleman then asked, "Do you really understand?"

Erleng nodded and said, "Understood." ”

Lu Shen snorted and said, "Since you understand, it's your own thing." ”

Erwa understood what Mr. said, although she still felt incredible, but her heart was a lot calmer.

Half a month later, the results of the children's test came out.

Erwa was elected as a child with the first place, and she is also the youngest child in history.

Immediately after that, he had to take the township examination, the general examination, and the palace examination.

The premise is that he can really go all the way.

Almost instantly, Erwa became a celebrity in the entire Xinsha Town.

Every day, there is an endless stream of people who come to the second baby's house to bring joy to their relatives, which makes the mother of the second baby, who has always been introverted and down-to-earth, happy and sad.

A few days later, in the early morning, a strange phenomenon occurred.

For these people living in the towns and villages, they may not have great intelligence, but small intelligence is not bad at all.

How can a young scholar who can teach the youngest child be an ordinary guy?

So the humble shop on Flowing Water Street was surrounded by a crowd, and most of the middle-aged women stood on the street holding the hands of their children with eager faces.

It's just that from beginning to end, the door that has been open all year round has been closed, and it seems that it has never intended to be opened again.

Erwa stood in the shop, listening to those voices, but there was not much emotion in her heart.

He had speculated from the beginning about what ranking he could get, and when the result was really the position he was looking forward to, there was nothing left except for a trace of inevitable joy.

Lu Shen looked into the distance and said: "Since you have chosen this path, then go all the way to the end, there may be confusion and hesitation on the road, but you are not allowed to turn back." ”

This is the first time that Lu Shen has spoken so seriously, and with a hint of goodbye.

Erwa nodded seriously and kept this sentence in her heart.

......

Participating in the children's test is just the beginning, no matter how famous a child is, if it is only a child, it is just that.

So the second baby decided to participate in the township test.

In the spring of the second year after the end of the township test, Erwa won the title of Xie Yuan.

In the third year, he was about to go to the capital to take the examination, and on the way he wrote two letters to his mother and Lu Chen, reporting his recent situation.

In his sixth year, he won the title of Huiyuan in the examination.

In the ninth year, he was to begin preparations for the temple examination.

In the tenth year, he won the title of champion, even in the middle of the three yuan, and the statement was far away.

In just a few words, time has flown by.

At this moment, Erwa is already a middle-aged man who is about to stand up, and he is also a minister of Conglong who will have the opportunity to worship the prime minister in the capital in the future.

From the ignorant boy who used to be in Xinsha Town, it was a full ten years in the blink of an eye.

......

Ten years later, Xinsha Town is still so lively, the shopkeepers in the shops on Liushui Street are vaguely old, some people are returning to their hometowns, some people are beginning to prepare for retirement, and their children and grandchildren are taking over the business in the shops.

The only difference is that Erwa has now become a figure in the entire Xinsha Town who can make the faces of the people in every town look proud, and there are even many children of high-ranking officials in the capital, young girls come here to pay tribute to the big man who has just connected to the third yuan.

As for the mother of the second child, she has also been invited by the Lu Mansion into a big mansion surrounded by mountains and rivers, and has lived a life that has made countless women blush.

Only the scholar who once came here, his face is still young, his expression is still gentle, and the shop on Flowing Water Street is open, but no one has any luck here anymore.

Lu Shen was outside the shop, looking at the clear blue sky silently, for a whole ten years, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't have the slightest sense of urgency.

Even with the passage of time, Lu Shen vaguely forgot about "going out".

The old and rotten door creaked.

Outside the door was a burly middle-aged man, who bent down slightly, saluted and smiled: "Mr. Lu." ”

The burly man's name is Zhang Kui, and he is the steward of the Lu Mansion, and his cultivation is first-class in the entire Xinsha Town.

Due to the relationship between the two children, Lu Fu has given many valuable gifts here in recent years, and once invited Lu Shen to live in another place, but the latter refused.

"Something?" Lu Shen asked.

Zhang Kui got straight to the point and said: "My wife wants to invite you out of the mountain to be the husband of our eldest son." ”
