return to the garden

Unlike Lin Qiu who was too nervous, Zhang Xiaolin and Xiao Yue didn't worry too much. They packed up their things and just read books. They didn't see the same anxiety as other candidates.

Lin Qiu was also more pleased.

Early the next morning, Lin Qiu accompanied the two children to the place where Xinya took the exam, "Try not to go to the toilet during the exam, otherwise it will be ugly if you get stamped, and it will have a great impact on the exam score , In addition, don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have. Although the hot soup provided in the examination room is the same as clear water, you still have to drink something. After entering the examination room, listen to the arrangement of the examination room personnel, and don't talk about contradicting Examiners, contradict the examiners, review the questions carefully before doing the questions, do what you can do correctly, and try to avoid losing points if you can’t do it..."

The two children nodded obediently. They were still shivering a little in their thin shirts, and they went in with their dry food and examination equipment.

"I think our numbers should be far away from each other—" Xiao Yue paid the money, got the number plate, and went to see Zhang Xiaolin's number plate.

Two people, one is NO.17, the other is 120. No. [-] should be relatively far away——

After arriving at their respective houses, it was indeed like this. Zhang Xiaolin and Xiao Yue were far away from each other. Xiao Yue's place happened to be next to the latrine. Zhang Xiaolin casually glanced back and saw Xiao Yue The more I live in the dormitory, the more my face turns green...

Looking at Xiao Yue's green face, Zhang Xiaolin wanted to laugh in such a serious environment in the Tong Shang Sheng Exam...

But after all, it was Zhang Xiaolin's first contact with imperial examinations, and he, Xiao Yue, and Tan Weili studied together on weekdays. There are some things, especially in this kind of environment, where everyone attaches great importance to it, Zhang Xiaolin can't help but get a little nervous, and when the cold wind blows in February, his throat trembles a little...

But when the test papers came out, Zhang Xiaolin stopped shaking. Zhang Xiaolin found that the test papers were not even half as difficult as his usual...

Although Liao Qing took the papers from previous years from the magistrate to do for Zhang Xiaolin, but Zhang Xiaolin saw that the papers were so simple and thought it was a special case, but he did not expect that the papers were all of this difficulty. I'm not nervous anymore, my hands that were trembling just now are no longer trembling now, and I'm starting to grind ink to make test papers with a blushing face...

On the other side, although Xiao Yue looks at the test papers very simple, he is usually not strict with himself, and his husband is not strict with him, so he is lacking in endorsement, but he is not strict with some He is good at policy theory and other things, because usually what Lin Qiu and Liao Qing taught him is mostly principles, rather than things memorized by rote in books, so although Tie Jing's writing is stuttering, his policy theory It is indeed very well written, and the starting point of view is very special, and it should be able to achieve a refreshing effect...

However, in comparison, Xiao Yue's arithmetic is much worse. The main reason is that after Xiao Yue finished writing the theory, some candidates began to go to the bathroom one after another. Xiao Yue was a little desperate. I can smell it again, and I can imagine what it is like with my brain...

Xiao Yue was so disgusted that his whole face was not green enough, and he was far worse in the test of arithmetic. He obviously knew a lot of things, but fell into a trap for a while. As for those who might think of ways to solve the problems, then It is even more impossible to solve it. Of the five big questions, Xiao Yue got three of them right...

At the end of the three days, when the two of them came out after the exam, Zhang Xiaolin was in such good health that he could bear it, and Xiao Yue was probably dead. Zhang Xiaolin rolled his eyes and helped Xiao Yue out...

Lin Qiu had been waiting outside for a long time, and when he saw the two children coming out, he quickly went up to meet them, seeing Xiao Yue's face was pale, he felt anxious, he hurried forward and handed him the hot water— —

"What's the matter? How come it's so difficult?" Lin Qiu remembered that he didn't feel too uncomfortable when he came out of the exam, but he was very hungry. Why did Xiao Yue go in for the exam and couldn't walk out? Steady——

"I think it's okay, I don't know how Xiao Yue feels." Zhang Xiaolin took a sip of the hot water, took another cup and fed Xiao Yue a little——

"I think I did very poorly in the exam—" Xiao Yue's face was ashen, and he spoke in a limp manner, coupled with the fact that his legs were weak and he couldn't stand, and his overall condition was very bad, which made people very worried. "It's just that I haven't eaten for three days—"

Xiao Yue's complaint was a bit loud, causing the surrounding students to look over, after all, among a group of gentle scholars, he suddenly exhaled fragrance, it was really hard for people not to pay attention——

"Who is it? You look well dressed, why do you speak so rudely, maybe you are a countryman?" Many students whispered to each other, thinking that Xiao Yue was angry because of his bad exams, so he uttered slanderous words.

When other people thought about it like this, they looked down on Xiao Yue even more, and whispered to each other, all talking bad things about Xiao Yue.

However, some of those people don't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, and the voices of the discussions that they think they are fearless are a little louder, and they fell into Xiao Yue's ears in a short time, and it made Xiao Yue even more angry——

"Forget it, why are you getting angry with them?" Lin Qiu was afraid that Xiao Yue would be angry, so he quarreled with them. After all, he just left the examination room and was still in the county government office. It wouldn't look good...

"The most annoying thing is these scholars. They don't read many books all day long and their mouths are broken like other women. Every day Dong's parents, Li's family, are short. They just don't ask how they are, how many exams you can take, and dare to come Talk about my young master." Although Xiao Yue's whole body is weak, his domineering appearance has not changed at all, and he does not allow others to speak ill of her.

If Zhang Xiaolin was a little speechless, he would pull Xiao Yue and walk towards the carriage. It would be a shame that they walked fast, otherwise the scholars behind would definitely start scolding Xiao Yue again as soon as they realized it...

After finally finishing the exam, I went back to take a good shower and eat something. Is he not feeling well? What happened to arguing with someone at the door?

……

The three got into the carriage, and the carriage wobbled towards the teahouse——

"By the way, there were too many people just now, and there is something I didn't tell you—" Lin Qiu suddenly remembered something, "Prince Xiao Yun is here, and I have been waiting at the teahouse for two days—"

Before Lin Qiu finished speaking, Xiao Yue became agitated. After all, he hadn't seen his father for so long, and when he thought of his father, he still wanted to cry...

"My dad is here?" Xiao Yue swept away his sluggish look just now, and suddenly cheered up, and began to arrange his clothes and hair, "Oh, I look so sloppy now. , after being seen by my father, don't scold me again—”

King Xiao Yun loves cleanliness the most, and Xiao Yue knows it best. If he went to see King Xiao Yun with such a sloppy appearance, he might be typed out before he even said a few words...

"You are in a hurry and there is no water to wash you on the way. At worst, when you get to the back of the teahouse, you can go wash up first, and then go to see your father—" Zhang Xiaolin looked a little bit like Xiao Yue was patting his clothes and cutting his hair. I can't bear to look directly at the feeling——

"That's right—" Xiao Yue restrained the excitement on his face, but the fist was clenched a little bit, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously...

Excited all the way to the teahouse, Xiao Yue got out of the carriage and then disappeared. He ran to his room in the backyard and asked Xiaoer to bring hot water in quickly so that he could take a bath and wash up...

Zhang Xiaolin calmly walked behind and discussed with Lin Qiu how his test papers were doing——

"It happened to be a chicken and rabbit in the same cage. I calculated it like this..." Zhang Xiaolin talked about his process of doing the problem, and then told Lin Qiu the answer, "The answer I calculated is sixteen. Chicken five rabbits—"

"I really don't know much about arithmetic, but I heard from other students who came out first, and many of them are the answer—" Lin Qiu nodded, Lin Qiu had to admit the arithmetic aspect Liao Qing is indeed a good teacher. The three students are very good at arithmetic. Basically, there are many problems that he needs to calculate with abacus or mental calculation for a while. Lin Qiu needs to worry more.

What Lin Qiu really cares about is posting scriptures and policy theory.

The two walked in while chatting, and it happened that King Xiao Yun was waiting outside in the pavilion——

"It can be regarded as coming back, let's have a cup of tea first—" King Xiao Yun was weak, and spent a long time in the cold wind just to wait for his son, but when the other two came back, he couldn't see his son. Looking back, he couldn't help but Somewhat disappointed...

Zhang Xiaolin couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw King Xiao Yun's look of looking forward to the autumn water——

The main reason is that Zhang Xiaolin was basically brought up by his brother when he was a child, and he didn't know much about father's love like a mountain and mother's love like water, so he always had expectations for these things...

Now seeing Xiao Yue's father, he ran a long way to pick up his son, not to mention, he was here specially waiting for his son to come back from the exam...

To be honest, Zhang Xiaolin, who was replaced a year ago, is really envious...

But now, Zhang Xiaolin's mentality has changed a bit. The main reason is that Liao Qing has been very kind to him since he came, caring about him and paying attention to his studies, and paying him for school. Father's love or something, Zhang Xiaolin is not looking forward to it as much as before...

"Xiao Yue has been in a bit of embarrassment in the toilet next to the examination room for the past three days. I'm afraid you'll look disgusted and go back to the room to wash up, and come here from time to time—" Zhang Xiaolin obediently gave a junior salute first, and he and Xiao Yue also If he could be regarded as a senior with a good relationship, he would naturally salute King Xiao Yun as a junior.

King Xiao Yun looked at Zhang Xiaolin. At that time, he didn't know why he felt that Zhang Xiaolin had a few shadows of Liao Qing on him, not in terms of appearance, but in temperament...

King Xiao Yun is naturally grateful to Liao Qing, the great helper who helped his son escape the emperor's pursuit, and even his attitude towards Zhang Xiaolin is much better...

The three of them chatted for a while before Xiao Yue changed into a suit of clothes. He was neatly dressed and his hair was combed meticulously...

"Father..." When Xiao Yue saw his father, he felt sore for some reason, and wanted to pounce on the father, but Xiao Yue was only here for half a year, and his whole body was long enough. I got a head high, and I ate a little stronger, so it's not easy to jump up for a while...

Call him his father's weak body, what if I get knocked down by his father.

King Xiao Yun also thought in his heart that he was powerful, but in the end he was much more stable than Xiao Yue, so he beckoned and beckoned Xiao Yue over——

Xiao Yue sat obediently next to his father, watching his father burst into tears for a while, but it was a pity that when Xiao Yue was in the examination room, the latrine next to him was smelly, which made him unwilling to eat. After eating, let's not talk about coming back and rushing to take a battle bath, and ran over without even having a snack, the two of them were about to talk for a while, when Xiao Yue's stomach rumbled, grunt very loud...

King Xiao Yun rolled his eyes and looked at his silly son, only then did he have a sense of reality...

I took a quick look just now and saw that his son is much taller and stronger, and he also said that his temperament has also changed a lot. First of all, before that, his clothes had never been worn properly, and his hair had never been obedient. It was neatly tied up, and with the gold, silver and jade articles all over his body, it always made people feel like the son of a local tyrant, with the air of a playboy...

Not stable at all, not like a royal family, not to mention a bit like the kind of nouveau riche who suddenly made a fortune...

However, when Xiao Yunwang saw Xiao Yue this time, he felt that Xiao Yue had changed a lot——

First of all, the whole person's dressing style has changed. Before the supper, he either wore colorful clothes, or he wore golden glittering clothes. Now he obediently wears a blue bachelor's robe, which looks quite good-looking and very cute.

Secondly, the temperament of the whole person has changed a lot. Xiaoyue feels that her temperament is much more stable now, and she doesn't have the frivolous and impetuous feeling before...

King Xiao Yun was very satisfied with Xiao Yue's change.

Xiao Yue took advantage of the opportunity of his father and king to look at him, grabbed some snacks and ate them.

"It's changed quite a bit—" King Xiao Yun rubbed Xiao Yue's head.

This place has returned from supper, Zhang Xiaolin and Lin Qiu are not in the way, so they simply go back to their rooms to wash up and prepare to go back first.

After King Xiao Yun and Xiao Yue finished their training, the four of them happened to go back to Zhuangzi together——

"Thanks to Mr. Liao for taking you in. If you are here, you have to leave after the exam. You have to say hello to someone. By the way, it must be not easy for Mr. Liao to teach you to be like this. No matter what the father does Thank you so much for him.”

Xiao Yue frowned: He was very unattractive before cooperating with him, right?
