Time passed quickly, and Wuchun had been on vacation for a few days. In the past few days, he went to the dim sum shop to help out. Si Ya kept her word and paid him wages, 15 cents a day.

When the novelty of meat floss cakes wore off, there were fewer customers and Wuchun no longer had to help out in the shop.

Although the academy was on holiday, he couldn't sit idle. Even though he went to help out at the snack shop a few days ago, he still insisted on getting up early every day to read in the morning.

Now that he no longer has to help out in the shop, he can concentrate on his studies. He will have to take the provincial examination in February next year, and he is confident that he will pass the examination and become a student.

In the past few days since Xu Hao came back, he has been accompanying Mo Ru to walk in the back garden every day, and Jianqiu has a rare chance to relax.

Mo Ru's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and it was nearly seven months, so it was inconvenient for her to move around. Xu Hao was afraid that she would get tired, so he didn't dare to walk far. Basically, she would just walk around once or twice and then go back to the house.

After breakfast that day, the two went for a walk in the back garden. Now in the late stage of pregnancy, Mo Ruo's feet were swollen, and she felt tired after just one walk. Xu Hao suggested sitting in the pavilion and resting for a while.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Mo Ru shivered. Xu Hao quickly took out a cloak and put it on her: "Come and put it on first, don't catch a cold. You have to be more careful in the late pregnancy. I'll massage your feet."

As he spoke, Xu Hao picked up Mo Ru's legs, placed them on his knees, took off his shoes, and gently massaged his calves. Mo Ru was mesmerized by his concentration.

She felt like it was all a dream and was afraid to wake up.

"Xu Hao, pinch me!"

"What?"

Mo Ru's sudden words stunned Xu Hao, and he asked anxiously: "Mo Ru, what's wrong with you? Did I use too much strength? I hurt you, I'll be careful." Then he continued to massage her.

Seeing his cautious look, Mo Ru felt warm in her heart and her nose was sore: "I feel like all this is not real. Am I dreaming? Pinch me!"

"It's true, you're not dreaming!" Xu Hao gazed at Mo Ru affectionately: "Ru'er, no, let's get married first! I want to marry you into my family as soon as possible."

Mo Ru shook his head, his eyes burning as he said, "I've said before, when you pass the exam and become a scholar, if you still want to marry me, then we can get married again.

If you pass the exam and have better choices, I won't stop you. I've said that my child and I won't be a stumbling block for you, and I don't want to use the child to tie you down."

In fact, Shen Ping also told Mo Ru that she should talk about her concerns. If Xu Hao passed the exam and became a scholar, he might regret it.

By the time the child was born, Mo Ruke would be in a dilemma. But Mo Ruke insisted on his own ideas, and Shen Ping could do nothing about it.

Xu Hao had no choice but to change his words: "Ruru, my father will probably be here in a few days. He will take Feng'er and me back to the capital to celebrate the New Year. Otherwise, you can go back with me!"

"No~"

Mo Ru shook his head and said, "I'm not going anywhere. I'll just stay at my godmother's house. My godmother has agreed to let me stay as long as I want. Besides, I'm pregnant now, so I can't bear the fatigue of traveling by boat."

Unexpectedly, such a weak woman like Mo Ru could be so stubborn. Xu Hao could only helplessly say, "Well, okay then!"

In the past, she pestered him and he felt annoyed. Now the roles were reversed and it was his turn to worry about gains and losses. Xu Hao realized that this was not a pleasant feeling at all.

"Okay, let's go back!" Mo Ru pulled his feet back: "You have been accompanying me all the time these days and have not studied. You can't fall behind in this book. I am still waiting for you to pass the exam and marry me!"

Mo Ru estimated the days. By the time he finished the provincial examination, it would be almost time for him to take the exam. If possible, it would be a triple blessing. Thinking of this, Mo Ru's mouth curled up.

"Okay, let's go back! In order to marry you as soon as possible, I must pass the exam to become a scholar." Xu Hao said excitedly. As he spoke, he helped Mo Ru stand up.

Xu Hao was determined to pass the exam. Wuchun had the same idea as him. He had to pass the exam and become a student because his mother was given the title of Yu Ruren this year, which was the result of his mother's hard work.

He wanted his mother to be conferred the title of Lady of Imperial Concubinehood in the future so that she would be proud of him. So, after breakfast, he was doing his homework in the main hall.

Xu Feng lived in the same house with him, and they met on the day he came back.

Later, Wuchun went to help out at the dim sum shop. The two rarely saw each other during the day and only met once at night. They got along well with each other.

Now that Wuchun doesn't go to the shop to help out during the day, he naturally stays at home, and the two of them have more opportunities to meet.

Xu Feng saw Wuchun reading and writing, and came over to take a look. Seeing Wuchun's beautiful handwriting, he couldn't help but said sarcastically: "I didn't expect this person to be ugly, but his handwriting is pretty good."

"You~"

Wu Chun was so angry that she was speechless. She rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Even if I am ugly, I am still better looking than you! Look at your face, you look so feminine."

There was some vindictiveness in Wuchun's words. My mother said that he was about the same age as Xu Feng.

But Xu Feng was fair and clean, smaller than her, with big eyes, a high nose, and a rosy mouth, looking feminine and scholarly.

On the other hand, even though she studied in the academy all day, she was darker and stronger than him. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Xu Feng was better looking than herself, but Wuchun would never admit it.

"Heh~"

Xu Feng sneered: "I am whiter than you, but that doesn't mean I am a mother. You look like a piece of charcoal. When it gets dark, you can't even see your nose or eyes."

"You...you've gone too far!" Wuchun was furious.

Normally he doesn't like to quarrel with others, but for some reason, every time he sees Xu Feng, the two of them start to quarrel with each other. He's afraid that they are just incompatible.

"Hey~"

Xu Feng changed the subject and said seriously, "But seriously, can you teach me how to write? I want to learn it too. My godfather also taught me before, but he was always busy."

Wuchun was really not used to Xu Feng's sudden change. She was used to his aggressive look, but now seeing how pitiful she looked, she couldn't bear to refuse.

"It's easy!"

Suddenly, there was a voice outside the door. The two walked towards the door and it turned out to be Shen Ping, who walked in with a smile on her face.

Just now, before she even walked into the door, she heard Wuchun and Xufeng bickering. She immediately shook her head and was about to come over to mediate when she heard Xufeng's words.

Come to think of it, Xu Feng has been living here for more than two months. It's also my fault that I have neglected Xu Feng during this period and only let Liu Ya and Le Le play with him.

Xu Feng's eyes lit up: "Madam Shen, do you have a good idea?"

"Hmm~"

Shen Ping smiled and said, "I'll try to get the most knowledgeable person in our village to teach you. Xu Hao and Wu Chun can also come and listen."

Wuchun looked confused. The most learned person in Kaoshan Village, apart from the teacher in the school, was He Yao.

Wuchun asked subconsciously: "Could it be Uncle He Yao that Mom is talking about?"

He didn't know whether He Yao was a man of the highest learning. Wuchun only knew that he had taken the examination for the title of scholar for more than ten years but failed.
