Xu Yun smiled and said, "Of course someone tipped me off. My mother has become a bad person now and she even wants to hide such things from me."

"I didn't mean to hide it from you." Xie Wanqing explained hurriedly, "You just finished your work, so I wanted to let you rest for two days."

As she spoke, she sighed again: "This matter is really bad for people's mood."

Xu Yun hugged Xie Wanqing's shoulders, still without any gloom: "But mother's attitude is strong this time, I am very happy. It should be like this. Why does Xu Sanlang have the right to do so?"

Xie Wanqing lowered her eyes, a little worried: "But he is a mean person, he won't give up until he achieves his goal."

When saying this, Xie Wanqing could hardly hide the disgust in her eyes.

Xu Yun asked softly, "Is mother afraid?"

Xie Wanqing paused for a moment, then suddenly said quickly: "If he dares to come in person, I will fight him to the death!"

Xie Wanqing, who was usually gentle, actually had a hint of ruthlessness in her tone when she said this.

Xu Yun was amused: "Desperate? Mother is so confused. Is he worth risking your life? We still have a lot of good days to live."

Xie Wanqing thought about it and agreed, but she also felt that she couldn't let Xu Sanlang go easily, and for a moment she wanted to stop.

Xu Yun felt even more relieved - look, how much A Niang has changed.

Every time she saw the changes in Xie Wanqing, Xu Yun would sincerely thank God for giving her and her daughter the opportunity to start over.

Xu Yun gave Xie Wanqing some advice: "If he dares to come, then send him to the government. Otherwise, detain him at home or send him to a Taoist temple. He has to work every day to have food to eat!"

Everything they had experienced could be returned to Xu Sanlang.

Xie Wanqing was amused and pushed Xu Yun: "You just make me laugh all day long. Have you eaten this morning? Go and eat."

Xu Yun persuaded Xie Wanqing to go with him.

While eating, Xu Yun reminded Xie Wanqing: "Don't let this matter upset your mind. The most urgent thing is to remember the pastry."

Xie Wanqing was also worried about this.

There were no outsiders around at this time, so she lowered her voice and asked Xu Yun: "Ah Yun, do you think I can do it well? What if I lose money in the end——"

"If we lose money, we lose money." Xu Yun boasted: "When I become an official, I will have a salary every month! Besides, we still have rent to pay! Even if we lose all the money at home, I am not afraid!"

Xie Wanqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "We still have to pay Wang Jing and the others monthly wages."

Xu Yun smiled and said, "That's enough."

Luo Li sent a letter saying she would be back in a few days. The boat had been bought and was being repaired. We could consider buying some goods and then send it directly to the south once the summer storm season was over.

By then, both sides will be profitable.

Xu Yun is full of confidence.

Her attitude also gave Xie Wanqing confidence, and her frown finally relaxed a little.

Xie Wanqing also smiled and said, "The loss won't be that big. At worst, we can just eat the food ourselves. It's just rice and flour, so it's okay to eat it ourselves!"

The most expensive thing is sugar.

But this one can be sold by reselling it.

No, you can eat it at home. It's just a little painful.

Then, Xie Wanqing discussed the matter of writing the contract with Xu Yun.

However, this time Xie Wanqing did not ask Xu Yun what to do about everything.

But she had already thought about it and just asked Xu Yun whether this was appropriate.

After hearing this, Xu Yun couldn't suppress the smile on his face at all.

Because of Xu Yun's attitude, the atmosphere in the Xu family gradually eased.

However, they soon began to worry about the announcement of the results.

This time the results will be released a little longer, a full five days.

During these five days, Xu Yun was completely relaxed. He set aside half a day to read, and spent the remaining half of the day concentrating on learning self-defense skills or helping Xie Wanqing with work.

Or go out to find Feng Shihua.

Sometimes he even helped Feng Shihua repair rare ancient books.

Feng Shihua now always holds a book in his hands.

That serious look made Xu Yun feel as if he was going to take an exam tomorrow.

Zeng Wuji, Zhao Mu, and Lu An all met each other through Xu Yun's introduction. The three of them often made appointments to go to the Yuewen Pavilion to read books together.

This time, the four of them also wrote down the manuscript and looked it over with each other.

Zeng Wuji and Zhao Mu were both shocked by Lu An and Xu Yun.

Zeng Wuji, in particular, almost wailed, "Why are we all human? You've read every book! And you can still remember it! Why can't I remember it?"

Zhao Mu looked pale: "Compared with yours, ours is almost unbearable to look at."

Xu Yun comforted them: "Don't worry, most people are worse than you."

Zhao Mu and Zeng Wuji: ...

Lu An couldn't help but laughed out loud.

Zeng Wuji waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I can't pass the exam anyway. My family told me to use their connections to help me get a job as a county magistrate in a small county."

Zhao Mu said: "It will be fine if I can make it to the list of successful candidates. Then I can go to the Imperial College. I can slowly gain some experience and stay in Kyoto."

Lu An scratched his head: "I haven't thought about these yet."

The three of them looked at Xu Yun in unison again.

Xu Yun hadn't thought about it either. She said frankly, "I think I may not be able to make the decision myself. It depends on your majesty's wishes."

There is only one female Jinshi - Your Majesties naturally have already made arrangements in mind.

So, there is no point in thinking about it.

Don't waste this time and effort.

However, the helplessness revealed in her words was really a bit hateful.

Even Lu An became jealous along with Zhao Mu and Zeng Wuji.

Is this helpless? ! This is a bright future that you can never ask for!

Zeng Wuji looked at Xu Yun eagerly: "Ah Yun, Ah Yun, if you become a high-ranking official in the future, please don't forget to support me."

Xu Yun waved his hand: "What's the problem?"

The days passed so quickly.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day for the announcement of the results.

This time, Gao Yu took Xu Yun with him to see the list in person.

She booked the best room in the teahouse specifically for reading the list.

Afterwards, Gao Yu also invited Zeng Wuji, Zhao Mu and Lu An.

She whispered to Xu Yun: "You will be an official in the future. You can't be an official without friends. It will be difficult to get things done. More friends mean more options. I think Zeng Wuji and Lu An are both okay."

Xu Yun raised his eyebrows and asked her, "What about Zhao Mu? Are you so pessimistic about Zhao Mu?"

Gao Yu was rarely serious: "Zhao Mu is not a bad person. It's just his character... He is too calm, but not smart enough. Such a person is suitable to stay in the Imperial College. He is not suitable for doing anything else."

She didn't say something even more unpleasant: With Zhao Mu's personality, he would probably be left out in the cold no matter which government office he went to.

But Zeng Wuji was different.

Although he is not good at studying, he is good at flattery and is smooth in doing things, which makes him very suitable to be an official.

Lu An...well, whoever Uncle Song chooses can't be bad.

Xu Yun was amused by Gao Yu, but he also agreed with her. Zhao Mu had a noble character and didn't know how to please others, so it was indeed difficult for him to be promoted. But if such a person was really employed, he could be used with confidence.

On the day of the announcement of the results, they set out early and went to the teahouse to wait.

As for servants such as Wang Li and Chen Ku, they all crowded to the place where the results were announced early and waited.

As soon as the list is posted, they will be able to see it immediately!
