The Pastoral Life of a Reborn Farmer

As expected, Mu Hongyuan failed to come back, but asked Mu Wu to come back with a message saying that he would see you in the examination room. Shen Ling and Xiao San looked at each other, and couldn't help but chuckle. After the wife deleted the words, the son's original words were, hurry up and save me, or we will have to see each other for the last time in the examination room."

Shen Ling said sincerely: "Go back and tell Mr. Mu that I will cherish the chance to see him for the last time in the examination room."

Mu Wu's face was expressionless, Xiao San had already laughed, Mu Wu said: "The old lady also asked me to take a message, saying that I thank Mr. Shen for taking care of the second son. After the exam is over, I will invite Mr. Shen to go to Mu's residence to explain."

"I'm not going!" Shen Ling laughed. He felt that Mu Fu Tai's feelings towards him might be a bit complicated at the moment. "After I finish the exam, I have to go directly to my hometown and apply for household registration for Zhaofu."

Mu Wu nodded, "I'll go back and tell the old lady."

Shen Ling nodded and sent Mu Wu to leave.

In a blink of an eye, it was the eve of the exam, and Xiao San was studying hard with his book in his arms, really looking like he was going to study hard. The neighbors outside listened to Shen Ling and Xiao San's reading every day, They also knew that there lived two students who were about to take the exam, and no one had doubts about Xiao San's identity.

On the day of the exam, outside the exam room, Shen Ling was holding a bamboo basket in one hand and a wooden pass board in the other. Xiao San stood beside him, looking into the distance, when a carriage with the words "Mu Mansion" coming, Xiao San pushed it away. Pushing Shen Ling, "Come here."

Shen Ling raised his head and looked at the carriage parked outside the examination room. Mu Hongyuan got out of the carriage with a bamboo basket in his arms. He had already changed into a clean brocade robe, a jade sachet on his belt, and his hair was tied with a jade crown. Scattered smoothly on the back, very neat and tidy, he looks like a Pianpianjia young man, completely different from Shen Ling's sloppy everyday appearance, as simple as he can clean himself up.

"Oh, you look like a human being." Xiao San walked over and said with emotion.

"I've been waiting for a long time. There are too many instructions from the family, so it's delayed." Mu Hongyuan said.

"It's okay, I know you're a baby, who dares to think you're slow." Shen Ling smiled, and the three of them entered the examination room together, and had the officials search them. Although it was difficult to sit together in the examination, they could go in together, so that they knew that they were with each other. Which examination rooms.

Shen Ling didn't notice it, but Xiao San took a look behind him when he entered the examination room, and met Shen San's eyes. He has martial arts, so he is naturally sharper than Shen Ling and others. He has already noticed that someone is sizing them up. Xiao San turned his head suddenly, but he didn't look frightened, but nodded and smiled slightly at Xiao San, as if they just looked at each other accidentally.

Xiao San turned his head and rubbed his nose, Shen Ling's younger brother was calm, extraordinary!

After waiting for Shen Ling and others to enter for a while, Shen San walked into the examination room with his own things, his face was calm, he had suffered almost all the psychological torment this year, from initial despair and resentment to plain numbness, he saw through many of the past. Things that he never understood and never thought about, knowing himself more clearly and seeing his identity clearly, he has been able to sink down, and has become more determined, but also more cold-hearted. What is the clan? If he didn’t For the hope of the imperial examination, the clansmen might not even bother to look at him. What is family? He, Shen Ling, and his younger sister were all born to the same mother. Why did his mother and father favor him and ignore other brothers and sisters?The separation of Shen Ling's family is only more than ten taels of silver, and the same is true for the younger sister's marriage. There are still hundreds of taels in the family, and even thousands of taels. spend on him?

Shen San walked into the gate of the examination room with a smile, because he can take the imperial examination!He has the hope of passing the exam!Only if he passes the exam, the clansmen will have the opportunity to ascend to heaven, and the parents will be able to become the official old man and old lady, so Shen San does not need to do other things, he only needs to do one thing well, pass the exam, and get a good grade. ranking!Only Shen San who took the imperial examination is Shen San, otherwise, Shen San will have nothing.

Shen San's eyes were firm, and he looked at the house number of the examination room. This subject must be passed!

Shen Ling and the others each found their own seats to take the exam. When the exam was over, Shen Ling handed in the paper and walked out of the exam room feeling a little dizzy, with a headache, and his mind was still full of worries. Xiao San walked out leisurely, looking a bit embarrassed , but not as mentally ill as him, Shen Ling asked strangely: "The paper is easy?"

"No! I definitely missed it." Xiao San said casually.

Shen Ling's overused brain took a few turns before he realized that Xiao San shouldn't have passed the exam at all, and passing the exam is the trouble!Just nodded and said nothing.Mu Hongyuan walked out like a walking corpse, and when he saw Shen Ling and the other two, he rushed forward with a howl, "Brother Shen! I failed the ranking again!"

This one seemed to be very self-aware. Shen Ling patted Mu Hongyuan on the shoulder and thought for a while. He didn't know what to do this time. Thinking about this matter again, the carriage from the Mu Mansion has already come to pick up Mu Hongyuan, and Shen Ling and the two of them sent Mu Hongyuan into the carriage, and they also boarded the carriage that came to pick them up. Seeing Shen Ling getting into the carriage, Han Shi looked up. Just a smile, and the dimples on his cheeks suddenly appeared. If there were no outsiders around, Shen Ling really wanted to reach out and poke him.

After going home to rest for a day, Mu Hongyuan was already in good spirits and took his concubine out for a walk, and even called them. Shen Ling took Han Shi and went to the suburbs with him. Now is the warm spring and a good time for a spring outing. .

Mrs. Qing was wearing a pink dress, walking Tingting among the flowers, looking at it was a beautiful scene.

Shen Ling doesn't admire women, but only loves men. Even if his wife is as beautiful as a fairy, he just looks at it as a sight. The four of Shen Ling are sitting in the pavilion, with Shen Ling's wine in front of them, chatting casually.

"You look in a good mood? Could it be that when you went back to check the answers, you found that you did well in the exam, and you might fail the exam?" Xiao Sanqi said. Before, Mu Hongyuan still looked as if he failed in this subject and was dying. It recovered too quickly.

Mu Hongyuan waved his hand casually, "Because I went back to check the answers and found that there were more mistakes, so I gave up on myself and went out to relax. Are you friends? Can't you accompany me if I don't pass the exam?"

Xiao San folded his chest and bowed his head, saying: "But we are very nervous. It is inevitable that you failed the exam, but brother Shen and I are still waiting for the ranking! We are very impatient now, and we are not in the mood to go out for a walk. If you hadn't invited us, Shen Ling and I will not come out."

Shen Ling was looking at the beautiful scenery of Mrs. Qing bending over to pick flowers, when she heard this, she turned her head and was stunned, "What are you talking about?" He seemed to hear someone calling his name.

Han Shi stretched out his hand and pinched Shen Ling's waist. Shen Ling quickly raised his smiling face and said to Han Shi, "The flowers over there are pretty good. Let's pick them later."

Han Shi was stunned for a moment, didn't Shen Ling just look at Mrs. Qing?But he still pinched him, Han Shi suddenly felt guilty, lowered his head and pointed at his fingers, blaming himself for being too fast.

Seeing that Han Shi suddenly became dull, Shen Ling seemed unhappy and thought he was bored, so he raised his head and looked at Mu Hongyuan, "Why didn't your third brother come out? You also know that after Shangxian's incident, I and I It's not easy for Xiao Shitou to come to your house now, Xiao Shitou really misses the third young master, so why don't you take him with you when you go out for an outing today?!"

When Mu Hongyuan heard the words, he forgot about the exam, "I'm learning housekeeping at home! I'm about to get married, so how can I come out to play again?"

When Mu Hongyuan thought about Mu Hongjin's marriage, he sighed again, "If he gets married, it will be difficult to see him in the future. Why can't he be a boy?" Mu Hongyuan was helpless.

Shen Ling thought of Mu Wu's loneliness during this period, and was stunned for a moment, "You, third brother, do you like his fiancé?" Shen Ling asked tentatively.

"Are you kidding, his husband's family is from the capital, and we are far away in Huaizhou, where have they met? What is there to talk about, but my brother is so good, the other party will not dislike him, and the eldest brother is also in the capital, and will take care of him of."

Shen Ling didn't ask any more questions, Mu Hongyuan had already beckoned Mrs. Qing to go over and rest for a while, Mu Hongyuan might not be a loyal person, even a bit lustful, but he was really good to his woman.

Mrs. Qing knew this very well, so no matter when, no matter where she was, she always looked beautiful. When Mrs. Qing saw Mu Hongyuan calling her, she immediately picked up the corner of her skirt and moved towards the gazebo lightly.

Shen Ling was pinched by Han Shi just because she was watching Mrs. Qing, and she didn't dare to stay in the same place with Mrs. Qing, lest Han Shi knock over the jar of vinegar, so she dragged him to pick flowers.

Seeing that Shen Ling didn't stay with Mrs. Qing at all, Han Shi felt that he had misunderstood Shen Ling just now, and felt even more guilty and wanted to make up for Shen Ling. Then, let's cook something delicious for Shen Ling when we go back!I haven't cooked for a long time.Han Shi bit his lip and thought about it, silently overestimating his cooking skills, scrolling through the recipes in his mind.

When Mu Hongyuan saw that Shen Ling and the two left to pick flowers, he was a little moved. The other flowers and plants hadn't grown yet, but they were just average, but the peach blossoms were in full bloom. It was the best time, so he went to pick flowers It is also a beautiful thing to give love hairpins.Thinking of this, Mu Hongyuan also stood up to pick the flowers.

As soon as Mrs. Qing arrived at the pavilion, Mu Hongyuan told Mrs. Qing that he was going to pick peach blossoms for her, and then left the pavilion.Mrs. Qing was stunned, and sat on the seat that Mu Hongyuan had just taken.

Xiao San took a sip of his drink and said: "Madam's jade pendant is pretty good." Just now when Madam Qing came over, her thighs were swinging in her dress, and the jade pendant was shaking non-stop. He wanted to pretend that he didn't see it, but he didn't There is a surprise.

"Eh?" Madam Qing was slightly stunned, looking at Xiao San with her beautiful eyes, she seemed a little surprised, but she still smiled lightly and pursed her lips, "It doesn't look like the one worn by the concubine's room, right? My son laughed, it's my adoptive mother's relic , I can carry it with me after my wife has given it to me, but it’s just a thought.”

"Foster mother?"

"Yes, when my stepmother lost her daughter, she bought me from a trafficker and raised her as her daughter."

"This jade pendant looks extraordinary, your adoptive mother's family should be good, how could you..." Xiao San paused for himself, waiting for Mrs. Qing to pick it up.

Mrs. Qing stretched out her hand to smooth her hair, and she didn't think there was anything to hide about it. The concubine was a servant, and it didn't matter whether she came from a brothel or a decent family, so she said: "My stepmother is a brothel girl. The jade pendant was kept by a benefactor of hers, and the adoptive mother knew it was a good jade, so she couldn't bear to sell it, so she kept it."

"Oh, what a rich benefactor, why didn't your stepmother win you over." Xiao San laughed.

"He who comes and goes without a trace, and doesn't even know his identity, how can he win over?" Mrs. Qing spread her hands, and smiled without feeling ashamed.

"That's right." Xiao San nodded, "You just said that your adoptive mother has a daughter, but that benefactor's?"

"The mother-in-law has thought about this question, but she doesn't know, the brothel girl! Even if the time is approaching, it's hard to say who it is."

Xiao San nodded, didn't say anything, just smiled thoughtfully.

Madam Qing is not stupid, seeing Xiao San asked this question, she asked, "Master, do you know this jade pendant?"

"I don't know, I'm just curious." Xiao San smiled, "Put this jade pendant away, maybe there may be another chance."

"Yes." Mrs. Qing nodded, and looked at the jade pendant with precious eyes. The young man mentioned the jade pendant for no reason, and reminded her to cherish it. Although he refused to reveal it, there may be another mystery.
