"Where is this?" Miss Liu woke up halfway through, straightened up from the tiger's back, and asked in a daze.

"Mother, are you awake?" Red Line drove her fawn closer and asked.

Miss Liu saw her appearance clearly at a glance, recognized it, and blushed with shame, "You...... Don't call me mother, I'm not your mother. ”

"Sister Bi'er taught me to call. Red Line was full of doubts, and reached out and scratched her head.

Miss Liu hurriedly said, "That's fake, don't call it." Where's your daddy?"

"I don't know, I've never met my father. Hongxian was extremely puzzled, and only felt that Miss Liu's question was really strange. She still doesn't know that others regard her as Xu Mo's daughter.

Miss Liu moved on the back of the tiger, felt someone behind her, glanced back, and was taken aback when she saw Xu Mo, "You...... You're there too. Isn't she your daughter? Why am I here?" he said in a hurried tone, asking two questions in quick succession.

Xu Mo said: "No. Then he turned to the red line, "Red line, you will call her Sister Zhenzhen in the future, don't call her Niang." "Miss Liu's name is written on the marriage book, Xu Mo has known Lu Dao for a long time, and knows that her maiden name is Liu Zhenzhen.

"It's good, Uncle Xu, Sister Zhenzhen. Red Line agreed, and immediately changed his tune.

Liu Zhenzhen said hurriedly: "Why am I here? Let me go down, let me go down." As he spoke, he struggled on the tiger's back, looked left and right, and seemed to want to jump off the tiger's back, but felt too high to jump.

Xu Mo was annoyed by her movement, and shouted, "Don't move, what do you think this is?"

Only then did Liu Zhenzhen see the appearance of the mount. Surprised, he said, "This ...... This is a tiger, where did the tiger come from?" frightened her whole body softened, she shrank back violently, and retreated into Xu Mo's arms, she retreated in a hurry, and almost knocked Xu Mo off the tiger's back.

Xu Mo held her shoulder, stopped her retreating momentum, and threatened: "If you move again, the tiger will eat you, I don't care." ”

"You...... You dare!" Liu Zhenzhen said inwardly. It seems to be really scared. Sitting on the back of the tiger, he really didn't dare to move anymore, but he unconsciously moved closer to Xu Mo.

After a moment, she couldn't help but ask. "Where are you going? Didn't I get caught by a fog? Why are you here?"

At this point, it will be dark. A rooster crows in the distance. Passing through a small village, you will soon be able to reach the town.

Xu Mo told what happened last night, and said, "We are going to the capital." There's no kung fu to send you. When you get to the town, I'll hire a carriage for you, and you can go back yourself. ”

Liu Zhenzhen heard that he was going to send her back, so she didn't say anything. The three of them rode for a while, and at dawn they came to a city, which was Guanbei County.

Xu Mo rode a tiger into the city, the giant tiger was much bigger than an ordinary tiger, it looked too ostentatious, and it attracted everyone's attention for a while, and even the city gate officials didn't dare to come over to ask.

There is a morning market in the city, and the roads are lined with the sound of hawkers, and the smell of various snacks comes out. Hongxian couldn't help but reach out and touch her stomach, "Uncle Xu, I'm hungry." "Last night, she and Xu Mo glanced at each other, chased people for nearly a night, and their stomachs were already hungry. Before he finished speaking, his stomach rumbled.

"Hmm!" Xu Mo nodded on the tiger's back, "Let's go eat something first, and then go and help Miss Liu hire a car." "He sold more than 30 gold guns to Lei Yuanwai yesterday, and got a total of more than 100 taels of silver, fortunately he brought them all with him, but he didn't have to worry about having no money to eat.

Liu Zhenzhen had no objections, and the three of them went to a restaurant. When the pedestrians on the road saw the giant tiger, they immediately became chaotic, dodging left and right, Xu Mo smiled on the back of the tiger: "Don't worry, this is a domestic tiger, it doesn't hurt people." ”

Liu Zhenzhen heard the 'hum', pouted, and whispered, "Liar! ”

After all, the deterrent power of the tiger is too great, although I heard Xu Mo say this, passers-by still avoided it from a distance, but some children were curious and stopped to watch.

Soon arrived at the restaurant, some diners wanted to go in, but as soon as they walked to the door, they saw Xu Mo and his party, especially the giant tiger under his crotch, so they turned around and left.

The shopkeeper stood in front of the door, saw it from a distance, and said loudly: "Hey, guest officer, you can't come, as soon as you come, everyone is scared away." ”

Xu Mo smiled: "The old ones don't go, and the new ones don't come." Your restaurant has entertained tigers, and business will be booming in the future. As he spoke, he jumped off the tiger's back.

Liu Zhenzhen looked left and right, still didn't dare to jump off the tiger's back, got up in a hurry, and said loudly to Xu Mo: "Hey! Help me go down." ”

Xu Mo stretched out a hand to her, and Liu Zhenzhen grabbed his arm and jumped off the tiger's back. The red line also came down from the back of the sika deer.

Xu Mo stretched out his hand and pointed to a clearing next to the door, and kicked the giant tiger lightly, "Go, go over there and wait." ”

The giant tiger understood his gesture, and walked over as he was told, and lay down on the ground. When I walked over, I happened to pass by the shopkeeper.

"This ...... How can this work? how can this work?" the shopkeeper's whole body froze in fright, and he couldn't stop talking nonsense.

Xu Mo took out a silver ingot from his body, about a dozen taels, and threw it to the shopkeeper casually, and said with a smile: "Prepare some food for us and get two live sheep for it." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the giant tiger, and said, "The excess is compensation." As he spoke, he walked towards the restaurant first.

The shopkeeper took the silver, and then he turned his worries into joy. With such a big ingot of silver, Xu Mo and the three of them plus a tiger can eat it, which is enough to compensate for the loss of the restaurant.

No matter what others think, the red line put the sika deer into the book, and the shopkeeper and the onlookers were stunned, "This...... The fairy descends to earth. ”

Red Line grinned and followed.

Liu Zhenzhen followed Xu Mo and said loudly: "Hey! It's so cruel, how can you do this?"

Xu Mo asked puzzledly, "What is too cruel?"

Liu Zhenzhen asked seriously: "You asked people to prepare two sheep for the tiger, isn't it cruel?"

Xu Mo laughed when he heard this, thinking that this Liu Zhenzhen had read too much, and he was a little pedantic. I haven't been out, and I don't know what the world is about. He asked, "If the tiger doesn't eat, won't he starve to death?"

Liu Zhenzhen said: "But that's a tiger." ”

Xu Mo said: "It's all the same. ”

Saying that, he entered the restaurant, and there were already many guests sitting in the restaurant, all drinking morning tea and eating snacks. The three of them found a seat and sat down, and Hongxian glanced at the food on the other person's table, frowned, and said, "Uncle Xu, I don't eat these things." ”

Xu Mo knew that she was not used to eating. Nodding his head, "yes." I'll help you get some candied fruit to eat. ”

Red Line likes candied fruits in the world, and has eaten a lot in Liu Zhenzhen's house, and said happily when she heard this: "Okay, Xie Lu Xie Xu Uncle." I love to eat dates. Apricots. Kumquat. Pineapple slices. ”

Just as the shopkeeper came over, "Guest officer, what do you want to eat?"

Xu Mo said: "Give this little girl a few plates of candied fruits." Preferably dates, dried apricots, kumquats, pineapple slices. As for us, what good dishes do you have, pick up the exquisite ones. ”

"Wait a minute, officer. The shopkeeper said yes and turned around.

Liu Zhenzhen suddenly said, "Hey, I don't eat your stuff." He said this resolutely, and at the same time looked angry.

Xu Mo glanced at her and didn't speak yet. Hongxian couldn't help but ask, "Sister Zhenzhen, why don't you eat?"

Liu Zhenzhen's face turned red, as if she was angry, and said, "He's ...... He ......" said and stretched out his hand to Xu Mo, his fingers trembling uncontrollably, "He...... Just killed two sheep. ”

Hongxian couldn't figure out why she was so angry about Lu, and her eyes widened, "Sister Zhenzhen, if the tiger doesn't eat, the tiger will starve to death." ”

Liu Zhenzhen argued: "That's a tiger." ”

Xu Mo knew that he couldn't make sense with her, and said with a smile: "Red line, you don't care about her, anyway, if she doesn't eat a meal, it's nothing." ”

Yoo Jung-jeong looked annoyed, snorted, and turned away, as if she didn't want to look at him.

Xu Mo smiled faintly, didn't care about her, and thought: Anyway, I'll send her away in a while.

Liu Zhenzhen sat alone for a while, and when she saw that no one was paying attention to her, she suddenly fell on the table and cried aggrievedly.

Hongxian Qi said: "Sister Zhenzhen, why are you crying?"

Liu Zhenzhen sobbed and said, "You don't care about me, let me cry to death." His shoulders twitched, and he seemed to be crying very sadly, and he raised his head again as he spoke, glanced at Xu Mo, and said angrily: "I don't cry in front of this wicked person." He got up from his seat, walked to a table next to him, and fell down again and cried.

Red Line was full of doubts, looked at Liu Zhenzhen, and then looked at Xu Mo. Xu Mo smiled and didn't say anything.

At this time, a person suddenly broke in outside the restaurant, and as soon as he entered the door, he said loudly: "Brother Nian, great joy, great joy." As he spoke, he walked over to one of the tables.

An old man in his sixties at the table stood up and arched his hand to the man, "Brother Wenren, I haven't seen you for a long time, why do you like it?" The old man was dressed in a Confucian shirt, and he seemed to be a showman.

The man who came from outside was about fifty years old, also dressed in a Confucian shirt, and said with a smile: "There is an old brother who still doesn't know the way of the road? On the third day of October this year, regardless of children's students, talents, people, and even Bai Ding, as long as they are literate, they can enter Beijing to take the exam. ”

The old brother was shocked when he heard this, "Is this really the case?" His expression was excited, his whole body couldn't help but tremble, and his wrinkled old face was full of joy that he couldn't hide.

This person is actually an old boy, and he has some knowledge in his belly, but he is unlucky, and he has not entered school for more than 50 years. A heart has long been dead, after hearing the news, it is really a photo of good luck, Qingfu came from the east, and a happy heart is about to explode.

Brother Wenren said: "The notices have been posted, there is a young brother, the Son of Heaven is kind, and he has given such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, which is suitable for you and me to achieve our ambitions." ”

"Heaven pity see, God pity see!" The young brother slapped the table and said loudly, "Let's go, let's take a look." With that, the two of them walked out the door quickly.

"Is there such a thing?" "Brother Wen, did you hear that?" "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

When the other guests in the restaurant heard this conversation, they immediately made an uproar, and a few people followed.

When Liu Zhenzhen heard this, she stopped crying, sat up straight, and suddenly said, "I'll take a look." ”

The red line said: "Sister Zhenzhen, where are you going?"

Liu Zhenzhen said: "I'll read the notice." ”

Hongxian felt curious, and hurriedly said, "Sister Zhenzhen, I'll go with you." ”

"Hurry up. Liu Zhenzhen was anxious. Although he stopped to wait for her, he couldn't help urging. Red Line got up from her seat and followed her out.

There was little food, and the two girls hadn't come back yet, so Xu Mo ate it himself. After he breathes quietly, it doesn't matter if he doesn't eat for two or three months, but he doesn't want to make himself look different from others, so every time he eats, he always eats casually.

It took a long time for Yoo Jung-jeong and the red line to return. As soon as she sat down, Liu Zhenzhen said, "I want to go to Beijing with you." "I looked excited. It seems that he has forgotten about the things that he was angry with Xu Mo.

Xu Mo couldn't help frowning when he heard this. I couldn't guess why she suddenly changed her mind, and said casually, "If you don't eat all the way, won't you starve to death." ”

Liu Zhenzhen's eyes were red. Crying again. "You...... You're bullying me again. "She's pampered at home. Everyone followed her and relied on her, how could they have ever been so wronged? At the same time, it came to mind.

Hongxian asked curiously, "Sister Zhenzhen, what are you going to do in Beijing?"

Liu Zhenzhen glared at Xu Mo before replying, "Didn't you see the notice just now? I'm going to Beijing to take the exam." Wait for me to become an official, hum!" he glared at Xu Mo again as he spoke, thinking: This wicked man bullied me like this, and when I won the champion, I was elected and got an official position, so I had to let people beat him up.

The red line said: "But Sister Zhenzhen, you are a woman, and the notice doesn't say that women can also take the exam." ”

Liu Zhenzhen lowered her voice and whispered: "I am easy to hairpin, before the exam, change into men's clothes, who knows that I am a man and a woman?"

Xu Mo reminded with a smile: "When I entered the examination room, I had to search my body." When you search your body, you have to take off your clothes, how can you get in?"

Liu Zhenzhen was stunned when she heard this, and then said willfully: "I don't care, I'm going to go." I have all come up with solutions, and I won't bribe the examiner, will I?"

Xu Mo said: "It's okay to bribe, but where did you get the money?"

Liu Zhenzhen hesitated for a while when she heard this, she was still wearing a marriage dress, how could she have a penny with her? ”

Xu Mo smiled and said, "Why do I want to borrow you?"

"You...... You ......" Liu Zhenzhen's eyes turned red, but she suddenly thought of something, "We have been married, do you want to leave me alone?"

Xu Modao: "That's fake, you can't count it, not to mention that you didn't want to say it yourself?"

Liu Zhenzhen said: "I am willing again, no matter what, you have to take me to Beijing." As if he was afraid that Xu Mo would not agree, he then threatened, "If you don't take me, I'll ...... I just ......" I couldn't think of a good argument for a while, and after a pause, I said: "I will go to the yamen to sue you, sue you for being unlucky, and give up in chaos." ”

Xu Mo was laughed at what she said, and at the same time he was a little curious, women rushed to take the exam, he just heard it in the play, and wanted to see if this Liu Zhenzhen could find a chance to take the exam, and after the exam, whether she could be admitted. After thinking about it, he said, "If you want me to promise you, it's not impossible." But there are some things that we have to make clear in advance. ”

Liu Zhenzhen was overjoyed when she saw him agree, and she didn't think about Xu Mo's follow-up conditions, so she agreed, "You say." ”

Xu Mo said: "Two conditions, first, you have to be obedient on the road, second, you are not allowed to cry casually, you are not allowed to lose your temper, if you don't agree, I will send you back." ”

Liu Zhenzhen said that she could go to Beijing to take the test, and she didn't care about any conditions, and said very happily: "Okay, I promise you." ”

Hongxian interjected, "Sister Zhenzhen, even if you win the champion, it's useless." You're a woman, how can you be an official?"

Liu Zhenzhen was overjoyed, but she couldn't think carefully about what was suitable to say and what was not suitable to say, "If I don't do it myself, I can let my husband do it." ”

Hongxian asked, "Sister Zhenzhen, where did you come from?"

Liu Zhenzhen didn't answer, glanced at Xu Mo, her face couldn't help but blush, and she thought: Daddy and his mother discussed with him to fake marriage, but can marriage be fake? This guy has a good appearance and temperament, but it's a pity that he doesn't learn and can't do it. Alas, now that he has such an opportunity, he is really lucky, it doesn't matter whether he learns or not. If I use his identity to take the exam and get an official position, let him do it, maybe, perhaps......

Xu Mo stretched out his hand and pointed to the food on the table, and instructed Liu Zhenzhen, "Eat." ”

Liu Zhenzhen didn't dare to disobey, not to mention that she was really hungry, seeing that Xu Mo promised to take her to Beijing, she was originally put aside because of the two sheep and his anger, so she sat down and ate. She had a big heart, and she was happy in her heart, and this meal was very sweet.

After eating, Xu Mo took the two daughters, came out of the restaurant, found an inn, and slept for a while. The next day, he asked for the way, and took the two girls on the road.

The red line released the donkey and let Yoo Jung-jung ride. The official road that the three of them walked, Rao is like this, and at the end of the day, he only walked more than 100 miles. Liu Zhenzhen has never been far away, one day the donkey rode down, the whole body hurt, and she felt that the whole person was going to fall apart.

In the evening, the three of them arrived at a town and stopped to rest. Hongxian and Liu Zhenzhen were in the same room, and they heard her moaning all night, and they couldn't sleep noisily, so they knocked on the door several times.

Xu Mo had no choice but to open another room for her. On the road again the next day, Xu Mo quietly hired a carriage and let Liu Zhenzhen go in to ride.

Liu Zhenzhen entered the carriage and saw that the carriage was quite wide, and there was a couch at the end, and the couch was covered with soft cushions. With joy in his heart, he sat down on the mat and greeted the red line again, "Sister red line, you can come in and sit too." ”

Hongxian listened to her greeting, put away the donkey and sika deer, entered the carriage, and asked Xu Mo, "Uncle Xu, are you coming in too?"

Xu Mo said: "You go in first, and when I'm tired, I'll go in." ”

The red line said no more and entered the carriage.

Liu Zhenzhen gave way to the side, gave her some seats, sat down on the side of the carriage, lifted the curtain on the window, glanced out, and happened to see Xu Mo's back, seeing him riding on the back of a tiger, walking next to the carriage, and thought: Although this person is not learned and has no skills, his heart is really fine. Daddy's mother likes him, and it doesn't seem to be for no reason. (To be continued......)
