Soon, a large plate of chicken, a plate of sweet and sour fish, a plate of cumin mutton, a plate of vegetables with oyster sauce, a bowl of sweet egg soup, four dishes and one soup were ready.

"Master Zhao, let's eat first and then write after you finish eating."

Zhao Mu was writing without sleeping or eating, without even raising his head: "Don't be in a hurry, there is only one last question left."

"You eat first, don't worry about me."

"This……"

Mrs. Zhao explained helplessly: "Don't worry about him, he is always like this. He can't walk when he sees the test questions that interest him."

"Let's eat first."

"Wouldn't that be rude?"

"No, no, we are all used to it, just leave some for him."

Lin Shuangshuang insisted: "Let's wait a little longer. It just so happens that Sheng'er hasn't come back yet."

"That's fine. When Sheng'er comes back, if he hasn't finished writing, don't wait."

Soon, Zhao Mu stopped writing, picked up the test paper and checked it again and again, nodded with satisfaction, and then handed his answer sheet to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen also handed the silently written answer sheet to Master Zhao, and both of them read each other's answer sheet extremely carefully.

Master Zhao looked at Xiao Chen's answer sheet with a flash of appreciation in his eyes. He was indeed very knowledgeable.

Xiao Chen became more and more surprised as he looked at Master Zhao's answer sheet, and the expression on his face became even more unpredictable.

From the initial doubt to the later affirmation, to the final experience and admiration.

This answer sheet is definitely not inferior to the Taifu's answer sheet, and is even more brilliant than the Taifu's.

He is sure that if this answer sheet is placed in the scientific examination, even if it is not the top scorer, it will definitely be among the top three in the palace examination.

A great future awaits him, who would destroy his innocence without thinking?

What's more, in the imperial examination, my father personally set the examination questions, asked for advice, and personally determined the top three.

If you can still cheat and become the number one scholar, doesn't it prove that your father is blind and doesn't even have the ability to recognize people?

Xiao Chen suppressed his excitement and read Zhao Mu's answer sheet. The shock in his heart could not calm down for a long time.

Finally, he came to the answer that Zhao Mu must have been framed, or there might be other unknown secrets or truths involved.

Xiao Chen put down his answer sheet, stood up solemnly, and bowed to Zhao Mu: "Master, you are a great talent, please accept your respects as a student."

Immediately afterwards, he turned to Lin Shuangshuang and said, "Sister, you are right. You can't just listen to hearsay. You have to observe carefully to discover."

"I believe that the master was framed, and it is definitely not what the outside world has said."

"Master, can I accept you as my teacher?" Xiao Chen asked respectfully.

Zhao Mu felt a little moved and relieved when he heard Xiao Chen's words. Although he was just an eight-year-old boy who believed in his innocence, he was already very satisfied.

At this moment, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Zhao Sheng stood outside the door with a strange look on his face, looking at the little boy under the tree who wanted to become a disciple.

Next to him stood a boy who was a little taller than him, also wearing a long gown from Bailu Academy.

"Sheng'er, are you back?"

"Is this your classmate?"

"Let's stay and eat together."

The young man glanced at Zhao Mu, then shook his head and refused, and ran into the next yard without looking back.

Mrs. Zhao looked at her son's face with a strange expression, and hurriedly walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Mom, I'm fine."

"Is that your classmate just now? Why did he come back with you?"

"He just moved next door and is also studying at Bailu Academy. When he learned that we were neighbors, we had to go together."

"As soon as I walked into the alley, I smelled the aroma of rice. He shamelessly said that he wanted to eat at our house. I was just thinking about how to refuse when I heard that someone wanted to become my father's disciple."

"Mom, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought my classmates back."

He knew that if outsiders recognized his father, they would never have a peaceful life.

Mrs. Zhao touched his head gently: "I don't blame you. It's a good thing to have a good relationship with your classmates."

"Your father acts and sits upright, he won't care about this."

"He is just afraid that you will be implicated and harmed, so he doesn't allow outsiders to come to the house."

Zhao Sheng nodded sensibly: "I know, I won't do it again in the future."

Finally, he glanced at Xiaochen again, and then whispered: "I believe in daddy, too."

"I went out to study just to prove to them that my father is truly talented and learned. He taught me to be very good, better than anyone else."

Mrs. Zhao listened to her son's words and reached out to touch his head lovingly. The child was so sensible that she felt heartbroken.

Zhao Mu also felt distressed. He wanted to be rehabilitated, not for himself, but so that his family would no longer be implicated.

Unfortunately, not only did he not have the chance to be redressed, but his family hid in a remote town and lived in hiding.

It's all his fault, it's him who has brought trouble to his family and children.

Mrs. Zhao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a choked voice: "Go and wash your hands and eat."

"You too, let's eat first, and we'll talk about the apprenticeship later."

Zhao Mu nodded and the family sat down together.

The depressed mood at the dinner table was cured by a table of delicious food.

"Ms. Lin's cooking skills are superb. I have never eaten such delicious food in my entire life."

The two children also kept praising: "Aunt Lin, it's delicious, the balls are delicious."

Miaomiao was eating the egg custard specially steamed for her by Lin Shuangshuang, happily shaking her head, which was very cute.

Lin Shuangshuang and Xiao Chen also looked satisfied after eating. Since becoming pregnant, she has been busy and has never cooked in person.

Today, she ate the food she cooked vigorously. It was indeed delicious, and even she couldn't help but eat more.

After lunch, Zhao Sheng went to the academy. Lin Shuangshuang asked again about Xiaochen's apprenticeship and asked him if he had thought clearly about it.

Xiao Chen said with certainty: "I've thought about it clearly, I want to become Master Zhao as my teacher."

"Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Lin Shuangshuang asked knowingly.

Xiao Chen's eyes shone, and he looked a little excited: "Master Zhao's answer sheet is more exciting than Tai Tu's."

"With such talent, there is no need to plagiarize."

"Unless he is a fool, he would do such a self-destructive thing."

When Lin Shuangshuang listened to Xiaochen's words, the smile on her face suddenly froze, remembering that Gu Hanzhou had done such self-destructive things to save her in his previous life.

It's a pity that in this life he is no longer the person who loved him dearly in his previous life.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Shuangshuang reacted and shook his head gently: "It's okay. Now that you've thought about it, you can explain it to Master Zhao yourself."

"Otherwise, we just found an excuse not to become a disciple, and now you suddenly want to become a disciple. Even the apprenticeship ceremony is ready. What will Master Zhao think?"

Xiaochen thought for a while and nodded, solving the trouble he caused by himself.

Xiao Chen went to Zhao Mu, first apologized for lying, then explained the reason for lying, and finally begged Master Zhao to accept him as his disciple.

Zhao Mu admired his courage and openness to admit his mistakes and tell the truth.
