Affected by Sui Xing's sighing and depressed mood all day long, during the three days of waiting for the release of the list, the atmosphere in the small courtyard was inevitably depressed, so that not only did Luo Yiyi never ask Wu Zheng where he had run in the past three days, but even Cuiliu did not ask any more questions.

Wu Zheng has also been hesitating to tell the truth.

The reason why he hesitated was because Wu Zheng had expected that Sui Xing would not be able to pass the exam, if he said it at this time, his name would be on it when the list was released, wouldn't it make Sui Xing even more shameless?

Although three days may feel like a long time, it is still here in a blink of an eye.

Even if she had already guessed the result from her husband's expression, early in the morning, Luo Yiyi still sent Wu Zheng to take a look. Everyone has a fluke mentality, let alone Luo Yiyi, who has always hoped for her husband Jackie Chan?

Wu Zheng came to the front of the county school according to his words, saw that it was already crowded, stood at the edge of the crowd, waited for a while, and with the sound of a gong, the list written on big red paper was posted on the wall in front of the county school.

There is no need for Wu Zheng to squeeze in, there are already people who start reading the names on the list from the first place.

When I read the fourth place, it was:

"Wu Zheng, a child in Lizhuang Township. ”

The middle list has long been expected, but Wu Zheng didn't expect to be fourth in high school, and he was naturally happy, but there was no surprise. Until he heard the last place, sure enough, there was no Xiangyang Town Tongsheng Sui Xing, Wu Zheng didn't bother to go to the Duan shopkeeper's bookstore, and returned directly to the small courtyard.

Catching up with the eyes of Luo Yiyi and Cuiliu, who were eagerly waiting, Wu Zheng could only shake his head.

Sui Xing probably heard Wu Zheng's footsteps when he came back, and walked to the door of the hall in the north house with a hint of expectation, and just saw Wu Zheng shaking his head, and then turned around and went back. Soon, there was a clanging sound in the east study.

Wu Zheng hurriedly ran in and found Sui Xing standing there facing the window, with a few books scattered on the ground, as well as inkstones and brushes, and the chair was also thrown down by Sui Xing.

Silently picked up the chair, cleaned up the books and inkstones scattered on the ground, and wiped the ink scattered on the bookcase, Wu Zheng really didn't know how to comfort Sui Xing, just called softly:

"Young Master. ”

Just now, Luo Yiyi also heard the sound and walked in, Wu Zheng turned around and shouted again:

"Young grandma. ”

He walked out of the east study and went directly to the courtyard.

Seeing Cuiliu snorting at him, Wu Zheng understood that he was going to the kitchen for breakfast, raised his feet and walked to the kitchen door, Wu Zheng stood for a while, but turned back to his own residence in the east wing, took all the money with him, and whispered to Cuiliu:

"I'm going out. ”

"Come back early, in case something happens to the young master and young grandmother,......。 ”

Knowing that Cuiliu was worried about herself, she was afraid that she would be dismissed by Sui Xing in anger, so she whispered while walking towards the outside of the courtyard:

"Don't worry, I'll be back in a moment. ”

Wu Zheng remembered that once Luzi went to Duan's shopkeeper's bookstore to report the good news, he would have to reward money, and he couldn't let Duan's shopkeeper break the bank anymore.

trotted all the way to Duan's shopkeeper's bookstore, and sure enough, he saw that the door was crowded with people inside and outside.

"Shopkeeper Duan is so blessed. Congratulations, congratulations. ”

Many people are congratulating Duan's shopkeeper, although he is only the nephew of Duan's shopkeeper's daughter-in-law's mother's family, isn't there a saying that a person who has attained the Tao chicken dog ascends to heaven? Therefore, who dares to say that Duan's shopkeeper's wife and nephew will not be admitted to the examination in the future, that is a great event, after all, the new middle school Xiucai is not yet 14 years old.

Shopkeeper Duan was dealing with the record who came to report the good news, and at the same time he was dealing with everyone, and when he saw Wu Zheng outside the crowd, he hurriedly beckoned:

"Zheng'er, come in, come in. ”

As soon as everyone heard that it was Wu Zheng, the showman of the new middle school, they all gave way to a road, Wu Zheng returned the salute to the people who said goodbye, and walked into the bookstore, just about to pay money to reward the two good news records, but found that the two already had a red envelope in their hands, knowing that it was the shopkeeper Duan who broke the fee, but in front of everyone, it was not good to be polite to the shopkeeper Duan, so he could only withdraw the hand that had gone deep into his arms, and planned to wait for everyone to disperse before paying attention.

When the two annunciators saw that the main owner had returned, they naturally had a lot of compliments, and after saying that, they put away the red envelope in their hands, and separated everyone from the bookstore to the next one.

Just when Wu Zheng saw the two leave, and the crowd of onlookers followed and gradually dispersed, he suddenly found that a figure at the mouth of the alley opposite flashed away.

Suddenly, Wu Zheng chuckled in his heart.

Because that figure was too familiar, although he didn't see his face clearly, and he couldn't remember who it was for a while, Wu Zheng was sure that the person just now must have come from Wujiabao.

"Who is it?"

"Zheng'er, what's next?"

Shopkeeper Duan's inquiry interrupted Wu Zheng's contemplation, so he replied casually:

"Uncle Duan, I haven't thought about it yet. ”

He had already noticed that Shopkeeper Duan had changed his name in his mouth, and Wu Zheng couldn't help but feel that it sounded more pleasant.

"Haven't you told your master yet?"

Seeing Wu Zheng shaking his head, Shopkeeper Duan pondered for a moment and persuaded:

"It's time to tell them that if Zheng'er wants to go on, taking the township test is far less simple than the county test. ”

Although for Wu Zheng, who was young, he won the fourth place in the county exam for the first time, Shopkeeper Duan was inevitably surprised, thinking of Wu Zheng's words at the beginning, he knew that it was not a big deal. However, Shopkeeper Duan, who had also read the book, knew very well that a momentary fluke did not mean anything. If you want to be promoted, it is absolutely impossible not to work hard.

Wu Zheng didn't think about it, but the Sui family took him in when he was desperate, and he was about to leave in the past five months, although he didn't sell himself to the Sui family, he still felt unbearable.

"Uncle Duan, don't wait and see. When Young Master Sui Xing returns to Xiangyang Town, tell him again. ”

Through this short period of contact with Wu Zheng, Shopkeeper Duan also saw that the young man in front of him was a child with affection and righteousness, and since Wu Zheng said so, he did not persuade him again.

What Wu Zheng didn't know was that when he and Shopkeeper Duan were chatting in the bookstore, two people in front of the county school were discussing the fourth place on the list, "Wu Zheng, a child from Lizhuang Township".

It was none other than Wu Gang and Wu Mingzhi, the little overlords who set off from Wujiabao in early February and inquired all the way.

"Fourth brother, how could there be such a coincidence?"

"There are many people in the world who have a good name. This Wu Zheng is definitely not the Wu Zheng we are looking for. After all, Wu Zheng, the cowherd of Wujiabao, has only been reading for less than three years, and since Wu Lipeng's accident, he has been herding cattle in the clan, even if he studied well at that time, he should have forgotten all about it after so many years, how could he be admitted to Xiucai?"

As he spoke, Wu Gang suddenly turned his head and glanced behind him.

Since the two of them came, it was already the end of the hour, and the people who watched the list had already dispersed, and there were only three or two pedestrians coming and going on the street, and nothing unusual was found. But Wu Gang knew that since he left Wujiabao, he always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him behind him. Just now, I felt the eyes of secretly snooping on me again, so I subconsciously turned my head to take a look.

"What's the matter, Fourth Brother?"

has found more than once that Wu Gang always turns his head to look behind him, and Wu Mingzhi is naturally puzzled.

"Do you feel like someone is always following us?"

"No, the fourth brother thinks too much, right?"

Wu Mingzhi also didn't know that the clan had arranged for Wu Youmin to secretly stare at them, and it was impossible for him to discover the peeping eyes behind him with his cultivation.

"Forget it, let's go to Lizhuang Township to inquire about this new talent Wu Zheng. ”

"It's okay, just listen to the fourth brother, anyway, we don't have a direction in the future. ”

As soon as she returned to the small courtyard, Cuiliu came up and whispered:

"The young master plans to go back tomorrow, and the young grandmother asked you where you went just now?"

"Why do you want to go back tomorrow?"

"The young grandmother said that the young master is always unhappy, maybe it will be better to return to his hometown in Xiangyang Town. ”

Next, he naturally packed his luggage and worked until after the lights were turned on at night, and Wu Zheng was able to take the time to go to the street. When I came back, I already had a small burden in my hand.

Early the next morning, as soon as the day dawned, the family got up for breakfast. Before the meal was finished, the mule cart that had been hired a long time ago arrived.

It was still Sui Xing who rode a mule in front, while Luo Yiyi sat in the mule carriage with her daughter Meng'er in her arms, and Cuiliu sat on the wheel. After waiting out of the East City Gate, Wu Zheng suddenly took a few steps forward, knelt down in the official road, and kowtowed three times to Sui Xing on the mule. When Sui Xing was stunned, he turned to kowtow three times to the mule cart, and then stood up and said:

"Young master, young grandmother, thank you for taking care of the villain for more than five months. To tell the truth, the fourth place in the list a few days ago, 'Wu Zheng, a child from Lizhuang Township', is a villain. Therefore, the villain wants to say goodbye to the young master and young grandmother here, and wait for the opportunity to repay the great kindness of the young master and young grandmother in the future. ”

Wu Zheng's words almost didn't startle Sui Xing off the mule, and Luo Yiyi in the mule cart also lifted the curtain when he heard the sound, and looked at Wu Zheng in front of him in surprise. Cuiliu was even more surprised:

"Wu Zheng?!"

Only then did I understand why Wu Zheng suddenly disappeared in those three days, and it turned out that he went to the next test.

Wu Zheng casually untied the burden in his hand and handed it to Cuiliu, who was both surprised and excited, and his face was flushed.

"This is a new inkstone bought for the young master, this is a piece of cloth bought for the young grandmother, and this is the rouge for you. ”

Cuiliu still didn't wake up from the shock just now, mechanically took the three things handed over by Wu Zheng, saw Wu Zheng take out another rattle, and made a ding-dong sound while shaking it, and handed it to Cuiliu and said:

"This is for Miss Meng'er. ”

It was only then that Luo Yiyi in the car said:

"Wu Zheng, you have used up all the money on your body, how will you live in the future?"

Sui Xing didn't say a word from beginning to end, lifted the reins, urged the sitting mule, and walked away.

Waiting for the mule cart to go far away, Wu Zheng still vaguely heard the cry from Cuiliu:

Wu Zheng ——。 ”

I can't tell if Cuiliu is surprised or sad, anyway, her voice is full of crying.
