After eating the not-so-delicious glutinous rice balls, the two of them went to guess lantern riddles with great interest.

But Lu Yan didn't expect that the lantern riddles at this time were more difficult than the simplified version of lantern riddles in modern society.

"It's not up, it's not down. It's not up, it's down." After Lu Yan read out the riddle, she was confused and turned to look at Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng was very surprised. He thought that such a lantern riddle that could tell the answer at a glance would not trouble Lu Yan. Seeing Lu Yan's eyes asking for help, he still told her the answer: "One."

Lu Yan didn't need him to explain. She thought about it and understood it immediately. She suddenly realized it and moved on to the next one. She thought she just lost her mind for a moment, but her smile disappeared when she saw the next one.

"The Flower Sutra is half fallen and still turning over, the moon is still slightly tilted."

Seeing that Lu Yan didn't know anymore, Lu Sheng told her again: "Jiang."

Lu Yan: "..."

Lu Yan felt like she was doing Math Olympiad questions when she was in elementary school. She could understand everything just by looking at the answers, but she couldn't do any of them on her own.

Lu Yan struggled to move to the third one: "I am sad and asked about my husband's illness carefully. Type one or four words of an ancient saying."

Lu Sheng consciously reported the answer: "The cup and the plate are in a mess."

Lu Yan didn't understand the answer this time, so she couldn't help but ask: "Why?"

"Sorrow is the sorrow, the cross-examination is about the husband's illness, the sorrow is about the husband's illness, and the cups and dishes are in a mess." Lu Sheng explained.

Lu Yan: "..."

Help! Why are there homophones in ancient times?

Lu Yan's self-esteem was completely hurt, and she took a step back silently, watching Lu Sheng finish guessing all the lantern riddles with great ease.

The boss smiled and took out the exquisite lantern king and handed it over: "Young Master is the first one to guess everything correctly. This lantern king is yours."

Many young people around who coveted the Lantern King and were guessing riddles glared at Lu Sheng, but they were not so fast and had no choice.

Lu Sheng didn't care about their glares, but he was a little hesitant and asked Lu Yan: "Do you want this?"

Lu Yan doesn't want it. Mr. Lu made a bunch of lamps, and there are still two rabbits hanging in his house. She simply shook her head.

Seeing Lu Yan shaking her head, Lu Sheng readily rejected the boss: "We don't want this. I want the second-class reward, that hairpin, is that okay?"

The next first-class reward was an ebony hairpin, which was exquisitely made but not expensive. It was naturally much cheaper than the exquisite Lamp King. Of course, the boss was happy for him to change it and immediately gave him the hairpin.

Lu Sheng took the hairpin and gave it to Lu Yan.

Lu Yan was startled: "For me?"

Lu Sheng nodded: "It's not an expensive thing, just wear it and play with it. I'll buy jade for you and my mother later."

Lu Yan happily took it into her arms.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed like this. Fifteen days have passed, and the sausages for the Song family are almost dry.

Song Bowen bought so much at once. Not only was it not cheap, he also gave him more than a hundred Wen. And he also helped Lu Sheng a lot. Lu Yan packed several pieces of flower soap for him, roasted a roast duck specially, and brought a jar of sweet noodle sauce. She asked Lu Sheng to write down how to eat and make spring cakes, and sent them to the Song family.

After a few more days of busy work, it was less than ten days before Lu Sheng's exam.

The county exam is a rather special exam. For other exams, you have to stay in the room for several days. You don't need to take the county exam. You have to hand in your papers and leave before sunset. However, the county examination requires five consecutive exams.

When Lu Yan heard this, her face turned green.

Although she had not taken the postgraduate entrance examination in her previous life, many of her college roommates had taken the postgraduate entrance examination. She saw with her own eyes that they had to book a hotel near the school as soon as they arrived at the examination room, but some people were still slow and couldn't get it. The postgraduate entrance examination is like a war. The hotels within a radius of one kilometer around the school are battlegrounds for military strategists. Grabbing the hotel is the first battle for the candidates, and the outcome can be determined within an hour.

The other three members of the Lu family were very optimistic about staying in the inn, and even thought that they could just go there one day in advance. But Lu Yan didn't think so. She felt it was necessary to go and see it in advance. There is no online reservation now, and she can't see the remaining rooms, so there is no way she can do it without going on site.

The next day, Lu Yan dragged Lu Sheng to the county seat. It was already noon when the two arrived at the county town. The streets were very lively and there were many more things than in the town. But neither of them wanted to go shopping because they had important things to do.

The two of them quickly rushed to the chosen location for the scientific expedition. There were only two inns not far away. Lu Yan screamed in her heart that it was not good. When she went to inquire about the exam time, all the empty rooms were already booked. The waiter at one of the stores said: "The rooms are already full during the days of the county examination. Only Datong Shop has a few empty seats. The price is also cheap. Will you two consider it?"

Of course that is not considered. A Datong shop can accommodate ten people, and how can it be so noisy that you can still study?

Lu Yan thought that was indeed the case, and Lu Sheng looked like he was struck into a daze.

When the two came out of the inn, Lu Yan was still comforting Lu Sheng: "It's okay, let's look further away."

"Cousin Sheng, sister Yan'er?"

Suddenly a hesitant voice called them from behind. Lu Sheng and Lu Yan paused in their steps and turned back quickly. The person who came was none other than Huang Hui.

Huang Hui and her companions came out to play. When they looked at their backs, they shouted, and it turned out to be true.

"Why are you here?" Huang Hui ran over in surprise.

"What a coincidence." Lu Yan also said hello to her: "Your cousin is coming to take the county examination in a few days, and we are looking for an inn."

Huang Hui cheered: "What inn are you looking for? Can't you just come to my house to stay? My mother was talking about this two days ago. She said she forgot to ask my cousin when the exam will be during the New Year."

When Lu Yan heard this, she suddenly became enlightened. She turned around and looked at each other with Lu Sheng. Both of them had the same sudden realization.

During the Chinese New Year, I went to my aunt's house and asked the driver to take things back. I had never been to my aunt's house, so I didn't even remember that my aunt's family lived in the county town.

"Isn't this a bit too much trouble for my aunt?" Lu Yan declined.

"What's the trouble?" Huang Huijie stopped shopping and took the two of them home.

My aunt's house is really not far from the test center. There is no Gongyuan in the county, and the examination room for the annual county examination is usually located near the county school. In order to facilitate Huang Yong's future studies, his aunt and uncle specially bought a place not far from the county school, which can be reached in a quarter of an hour's walk.

The aunt was also very surprised when she saw Lu Sheng and Lu Yan. She was shocked when she asked what happened. She also didn't expect that Lu Sheng would take the exam this year. I patted my chest and agreed that I would live at home during the exam days. I would have food, drink and a place to stay. It would be absolutely clean and convenient.

Lu Yan was also very satisfied. She was still a little hesitant before whether to stay in the inn with Lu Sheng. If you don't want to accompany him, you're afraid that something might go wrong if he eats and drinks alone. If you want to accompany him, you have to book two rooms, and you can't even book one. It's okay now. Lu Sheng lives at his aunt's house and he can come by himself. Lu Yan doesn't have to accompany him. Lu Yan herself was not very happy about not doing business for five days.
