After the competition, Xue Yi was so convinced that he lost, and he worshiped his teacher under the witness of everyone in the academy.

Everyone in the academy didn't know Wen Ruhui's identity. They only knew that this Mr. Wen had always lived in seclusion, but he didn't expect to take down a disciple like Xue Yi in one shot, and they were quite envious.

The improvement of Xue Yi's leg injury is basically known to everyone in the academy, even if the couple don't talk about it, everyone has eyes and can see it.

I don't know if he can win the list this year and be at the top of the list?

Just as everyone guessed, a few days later, Xue Yi's leg injury had completely healed.

After Lu Shanchang heard about it, he came to him specially and asked him whether he wanted to go home to prepare for the exam or stay in the academy.

His leg injury has healed, so he wants to continue the imperial examination. It just so happens that it is already mid-April, and in four months, it will be this year's provincial examination, so Lu Shanchang asked this question.

Xue Yidao: "Naturally, you have to stay on the mountain, from beginning to end, that's a good solution."

The course arrangement of the academy is based on the progress of the imperial examination. In mid-August, everyone will be on holiday for the exam. When he arrives at that time, it will be considered an end, so that the academy can calmly arrange other teachers to take over his work.

Lu Shanchang nodded, "That's fine, you can study on the mountain, it will be quieter, and you can have more discussions with other gentlemen."

……

On the second day after the leg injury recovered, Wen Ruhui called Xue Yi and Wen Yumu to him.

The two of them saluted respectfully, Wen Yumu stood aside, Xue Yi asked: "Master, why are you so solemn?"

Wen Ruhui said: "I have been away from the capital for a month or so, and it is time to go back."

"Are you leaving?" Xue Yi was stunned, "I thought you would take a leave of absence to recuperate, and you could stay here for a long time, at least to watch me finish the provincial exam."

Wen Ruhui caressed his beard and smiled, "What is the county test? If you fail, you don't have to recognize me as a master. I can't afford to lose this person."

Xue Yi frowned, but he heard him say again: "Boy, I'll wait for you in the capital, don't let me down."

"Of course not!"

"So good."

Wen Ruhui sat at the head, with a smile in his eyes, the more he looked at this disciple, the more satisfied he became.

"I've been thinking about it for the past few days, and I've chosen a word for you, just listen to it," he said.

Xue Yi listened attentively.

"You boy, you are good in everything. It is always when Empress Nuwa pinches you as a clay figurine, she loves you and bestows on you a natural aura that shines brightly in the crowd."

"Therefore, I took the word aura for you, and I hope you will polish it every day, so that you don't want to annihilate this innate brilliance."

Xue Yi, Xue Lingguang.

well.

Xue Yi thanked, "Thank you, my mentor, I will never forget my master's teachings, and I will never change my original intention after going through thousands of sails."

Wen Ruhui nodded in relief, "I'm leaving today, so you don't have to see me off, just come and see me when you arrive in the capital."

Xue Yi nodded in agreement.

He didn't let it go, and he had his reasons.

I don't know when, maybe earlier, maybe later, the husband and wife left quietly without disturbing anyone, just as they came quietly.

Time flies, and it didn't stop because of anyone's departure.

Spring goes and summer comes, summer goes and autumn comes again.

On August [-]th, the academy was on holiday.

Lu Shanzhang encouraged all the students, and then let them disperse.

Those who want to take the exam should concentrate on preparing for the exam, and those who don't need to take the exam can act freely.

Wen Yumu looked at the small bamboo house where he had lived for nearly half a year, and touched the wall reluctantly, "I may never come back here again, it really hurts."

This is the house he has lived in for the longest time since he came here.

Xue Yi is also reluctant, they have lived here almost all the time since they got married, he regards this place as their love nest and keeps many good memories.

"If not, I'll go to the head of the mountain to ask for mercy, and ask him to keep this place for us. If it's free in the future, we can come and live here."

"This house belongs to the two of us, and there are traces of us. When I think that someone else will live in in the future, and our traces will be replaced by them, I feel uncomfortable."

Wen Yumu shook his head, "No. Mr. Lu Shan treats us well, and we can't cause him any trouble. This is the academy's room. When new students come to the academy, they can naturally live in it. How can it be vacant just for us. "

This is the truth.

Xue Yi was a little depressed, sighed and stroked the table under his hand.

Wen Yumu originally wanted to comfort him, but he quickly adjusted and said to him with a smile: "Forget it, this place of peace of mind is my hometown. With you, wherever is my place of peace of mind."

"Without this house, we will have the next one, and there will be more beauty in the next one."

I never expected that he would suddenly start talking about love, and the words were so sweet...

Wen Yumu blushed, wiped his face and turned around, "In this case, let's go down the mountain and go to the next place."

He wanted to hide it, but he didn't know that the corner of his mouth could no longer be suppressed.

After going down the mountain, Xiaoman was already waiting at the foot of the mountain.

He greeted Wen Yumu very graciously, "Young Mistress, be careful where you step, get in the car first, your favorite snacks and fruits are prepared in the car."

Since Xue Yi recovered from his leg injury, not only him, but everyone in the Xue family, including Xue's mother, has been very affectionate when they saw Wen Yumu.

Wen Yumu smiled and nodded, got into the car and sat down.His current status today is really turned upside down, and it is completely different from before.

After they returned home, they would not go to the academy anymore. Mother Xue was the happiest, followed by Xiaoshu.

Ever since this little girl came to Wen Yumu's side, she was full of enthusiasm, and she was determined to be the most trusted and caring servant of the master. As a result, within a few days, Wen Yumu followed Xue Yi up the mountain, and she had no use for her at all... …

This time it's good, the masters don't go up the mountain anymore, so she can come in handy.

Xue Yi and the others rested at home for two days, then set off for the provincial capital.

This time, he brought Xiao Man and Xiao Shu with him.

They took the water route, the big boat braved the wind and waves, and headed south all the way, and they arrived at the ferry of the provincial capital in three days.

The Xue family was not short of money, they stayed in the best inn in the provincial capital, Xue Yi and Wen Yumu lived in a suite of Tian Zi, which had an inner room and an outer room, while Xiao Man and Xiao Shu each lived in an ordinary room of a local brand.

Wen Yumu looked around and exclaimed: "This house is very quiet and beautiful. As expected of the provincial capital, it is really a big deal. The scenery we saw when we came in along the way is not inferior to Xue's garden, but it lacks some elegance. "

Xue Yi smiled and said: "The two rivers are prosperous, and the provincial capital is even richer. Naturally, I am willing to spend money. I have been to the provincial capital several times with my father and brother before, and I am familiar with it. These few days, I will take you around and relax."

"You have been exhausted all the way, you are tired."

Wen Yumu said: "It's exhausting anywhere, seeing that the exam is coming, you should prepare for the exam with peace of mind, and it won't be too late to take me around after you finish the exam."

Xue Yidao: "After all, I don't have the heart to study today. Let's go out in the afternoon. From tomorrow onwards, I can study with peace of mind."

That's fine too.

Wen Yumu smiled and agreed, "Okay, then do you know any good restaurants in this provincial capital, let's try something new."

Xue Yi pampered and said: "I know you are a greedy cat, don't worry, I just keep you eating well."

Wen Yumu: "..."

This tone feels really strange.

After tidying himself up, leave the luggage to Xiaoman and Xiaoshu, and Xue Yi dragged him to the busiest East Market.

It is also Dongshi, the provincial capital of Dongshi is much more prosperous than Bitan County, a main street is spacious and grand, and there are intricate side streets around it.

They headed all the way to Zuiyuelou, the best restaurant in the provincial capital, passing a street on the way, and bursts of fragrant wind wafted from it, making people daydream.

Xue Yi sneezed, dissatisfied: "Why is there a road leading to Huajie here? I really hate the smell of powder."

Wen Yumu smiled, and walked forward, and heard a commotion at the next intersection, and there were some faint sounds of "unpacking yuan disk" and "odds",

He couldn't help but stop, "Jie Yuanpan?"

Xue Yidao: "It's the handicap opened by the gambling house. It is opened every year. The gambling house will evaluate the students who take the provincial examination every year, list the 30 people who are most likely to win Jieyuan, and then open the betting market."

Wen Yumu became interested, "Let's go and see how your name ranks."

Xue Yi's expression changed slightly, "I haven't shown up for four years, maybe my name may not be there."

As he said that, he seemed to recall something again, and said: "When my elder brother came to take the reference, he was ranked first, and he also won the Jieyuan in the end. It's just that he didn't want to be an official, so he didn't continue the exam."

If it wasn't for his family's sake, he also felt that it would be enough to pass the exam, but the world is impermanent, and the joys and sorrows come too quickly and too unexpectedly.

It was also that time that made him understand that it is useless to be respected, only a position of power can protect the safety of his family.

So he wants to continue the exam and become an official.

Wen Yumu squeezed his hand and said: "Your name must be on the list. I'll go and see. If not, it means their eyes are bad. I'd be happy to wash their eyes."

Xue Yi smiled lightly, regained his composure, and nodded proudly, "What Madam said is true."

They walked into the casino hand in hand, the casino was very lively, but it was more orderly than Wen Yumu thought, and it was very spacious and luxurious.

Jieyuan Pan is currently the hottest market, it is set in the center, and there is a special person to record the betting situation of the customers.

There is also a shelf next to the handicap, with white paper pasted on it, and the names of the students are arranged from one to thirty, as well as past achievements and fame.

Xue Yi is also on the list, just because he has been silent for the past four years. Although he is quite famous in Bitan County, he is not too brilliant in the eyes of the people in the provincial capital.

He is 28th and will hang at the end.

Wen Yumu looked closely, and the odds were as high as 2.2.

He took out a silver ticket of 500 taels and patted it on the gambling table, "I bet 28 Xue Yi, 500 taels."

The person in charge of the record flicked his beard, 500 taels was a big deal.However, he has worked here all year round, and he has seen people who spend a lot of money. After being surprised, he recorded it, "I don't know this one, huh?"

Only then did he realize that the person who came was not the son he thought, but a gentle flower seal.

"What's the name of this little lady?" He quickly realized and asked responsibly.

"My surname is Wen, and my first name is Yu Mu."

The man made a record and handed him a sign, "This is a special sign made by our gambling house. Please keep it well. If it is lost, it will be impossible to count."

Wen Yumu took it and put it in his sleeves.

There were quite a few people nearby who were attracted by their husband and wife, and they couldn't help laughing at this moment: "The little lady is so generous, I think she is oppressing her husband, right?"

"Yes, yes, the handsome little brother next to you, could it be that Xue Yi?"

After everyone said a few words, they guessed it clearly, and Wen Yumu admitted it generously, saying that it was true.

There were more and more people around, and someone suddenly laughed and said: "What an outstanding student, with such good looks, he is only ranked 28th? I like him, Zhuang He, bet me 100 taels."

As soon as the head opened, the crowd in the audience was in an uproar, and someone said: "I am also optimistic about such a handsome character, and he will be upset! Zhuang He, I will press 60 taels."

"Me too, 80 taels!"

"I'm 150 taels!"

Zhuang He took a look, quickly complied with the public opinion, and explained: "This Mr. Xue is from Bitan County. Somehow he hasn't become famous anymore, so we put him at the bottom of the list."

As soon as these words came out, everyone bet even more fiercely.

Seeing this, Zhuang He kept lowering the odds.

Wen Yumu was stunned, and couldn't figure out what kind of development this was. These people were shouting about the appearance of heaven and man, dragons and phoenixes, Pan An, Song Yu, elegant people, and so on, and then they threw money like crazy .

This is... a bet on face?

He silently watched Xue Yi's ranking go up all the way, directly entering the top five, and the odds changed from 2.2 to 1.2.

The ancient people...were all so exaggerated?
