Zhou Jinnian was stopped by his brother-in-law Xie Yao in the study to learn Buddhist scriptures. Fortunately, the two talked speculatively. Zhou Jinnian didn't feel annoyed, but admired Xie Yao's eagerness to learn.

Xie Ning brought a plate of melons, which had been chilled with well water, half of which were sprinkled with powdered sugar.

He stepped into the study cautiously, and when his husband saw him, he immediately stood up to pick up the plate and help him.

After Xie Ning sat down, he felt hot and shook his arms immediately, Zhou Jinnian couldn't help pinching his earlobe, it felt cool and soft, and the earlobe was full of flesh.

"Yes." Xie Yao drank the last sip of tea in the teacup, leaving the young couple alone, "I'll go out and talk to Brother Feng."

Xie Yao stood up, and his dark blue shirt floated up with the movement, causing Xie Ning to look at his brother with his head raised and his eyes wide open.

After Xie Yao came out of the study, Zhou Jinnian poked a piece of melon with powdered sugar and fed it to Ning Lang's mouth. Xie Ning didn't pay attention, the upper lip was rubbed with powdered sugar, and he wanted to lick it off his lower lip.

Zhou Jinnian stepped forward and licked it off first, then sat back and said like coaxing a child, "Open your mouth."

Since Ning Lang was pregnant, his temperament has become limp and his temper is particularly good, which made Zhou Jinian like to coax him very much.

Xie Ning hurriedly opened his mouth wide to eat, chewed and swallowed hastily, "Are you still reading?"

"how?"

Xie Ning reached out with one hand to pull the pants on Zhou Jinnian's leg, and with the other he pointed a thin white finger at his bulging belly.Said: "Swim with him."

The older the month, the more he wanted to live in the water. Xie Ning just felt that his body was so hot that he had to soak in the water for a while before going to bed at night, and when he lay down, he would squeeze his husband with his white and cold feet.

Zhou Jinnian responded, picked up the melon, and helped him to the bathroom.

After taking off his clothes, Xie Ning clutched his stomach and got into the water, sighing comfortably: "Ah..."

Zhou Jinnian walked to the pool with bare feet, saw Xie Ning bai bang swimming in the water, and also took off his shirt. Under his deliberate exercise, his upper body was in an inverted triangle shape, like a refined soldier.

Xie Ning got out of the water again and saw Zhou Jinnian with his upper body bare and his six-pack abs lying on his narrow waist. He thought of his waist when he was exerting force, his face flushed and he got into the water again.

Zhou Jinnian got into the water and stood on the edge, splashing water on his body.

Xie Ning sneaked a peek at her husband in the water, watching the drops of water slide down her husband's abdominal muscles...

The little husband was stunned, and opened his mouth to drool in the water. The pool water entered his mouth. He took a breath and blew a string of bubbles in the water.

"Lonely Year." Xie Ning got out of the water again, his body floating and opening his arms to hug.

The little husband's eyes were wet, and his little face was still flushed. How could Zhou Ji Nian not understand him?

"You swim by yourself."

Xie Ning swam forward twice, slapping the surface of the water unhappily.

Zhou Jinnian laughed amused by his angry little appearance, and softly groaned, "Oh...do you want to hug?"

"Hmm." Xie Ning responded continuously, and his underwater body had already quietly raised his head.

"Then lean over by yourself." Zhou Jinian deliberately rubbed his wrists, exerted strength with both arms, his muscular body radiated charm, hooked his little fish and swam towards him.

Zhou Jinnian hugged and kissed someone, then leaned into Xie Ning's ear and whispered softly, "How do you hug? You teach my husband..."

Xie Ning was so ashamed that he stretched out his hand and wanted to pinch Zhou Jinnian's waist, but Zhou Jinnian had already known his shy and subconscious movements, so he held the little husband's hands with one big palm in advance, and put his other arm around his waist, The lips are pressed tightly to light a fire on the person.

"Ok?"

"...um...a lonely year!" Xie Ning twisted his body, "Touch..."

"Heh..." Zhou Ji smiled young, "Where?"

Xie Ning entered the water with both hands, using Shui Rou to break free, grabbed Zhou Jinian's palm with one hand, and grabbed Zhou Jinian's ear with the other.

"Hiss!" Zhou Jinnian bared his teeth, and the other free hand went underwater to hold the little husband...

……

Zhou Jinnian kept moving his hands to serve his husband, while gritting his teeth, he whispered in Xie Ning's ear, "You naughty ghost."

Xie Ning groaned, loosened his grip, and was buried in Zhou Jinian's white and thin chest by Zhou Jinian.

Zhou Jinnian moved his hands under the water twice, then picked up Xie Ning and sat on the edge of the pool, while he himself stood by the pool and buried his head down to help the little husband relieve himself.

……

After Xie Ning felt comfortable, he was carried into the water by Zhou Jinnian, and his hand was also held to touch the little Zhou Jinnian, and he was forced to listen to someone say nasty words, "My Ning Lang is so sweet..."

"Do you want to taste your husband?"

Xie Ning turned his head indiscriminately, groaned and faked crying embarrassingly, coaxing Zhou Jinnian to go numb all over, panting to do it himself, and forcing the little husband to watch him move...

After being fed, Xie Ning floated on his back, enjoying the soft waves of the low-temperature current. Zhou Ji Nian had already landed, and he was holding a melon and knocking on the porcelain plate with a spoon.

"Dangdang..."

Xie Ning kicked when he heard the sound, and swam briskly. Zhou Jinnian poked a melon and fed it to his mouth. The sugar powder on the melon had already melted, and the melon seemed to be dipped in honey, sweet and greasy.

Xie Ning liked it very much, he ate one piece after another until he could eat enough,

After eating, he pouted and asked Zhou Jinnian to taste it, "Sweet."

Zhou Jinnian, who doesn't like sweets, just pecked his lips lightly perfunctorily, but he wasn't happy anymore, so he stood on tiptoe while leaning on the bank of the pool to kiss him.

It's not that Zhou Jinnian doesn't like sweets or can't eat sweets. He deliberately frowned and hid, but was pinched by his beloved Xiaoyu at his waist!

Xie Ning pouted on the lips of the husband who had succumbed to his violence, and even poked the tip of his tongue, thinking he was playing prestige, he hummed, "Is it sweet?"

Zhou Jinnian clicked his tongue, "It's really sweet."

Delivered to your door, can you not be sweet?

……

In the marking room of the Tribute Academy, a dozen or so people, including the academicians of the Imperial Academy, were quietly reading the papers.The one who pursed his lips and couldn't stop nodding must have read a good article, and the one who sighed and shook his head thought the article didn't catch his eye.

"This article..." One of the court officials with a mustache and a Jinshi background opened the paper, and his brows were full of admiration: "Good!"

"Hehe." The other elder smiled, "That Xiao Xiucai has also passed the filial piety this year, right? But have you read his? His literary talent can indeed be called good."

"Listen to me to read a passage..." The courtyard officer with a mustache stood up, his tone faltering: "The opposite of the word country is also a country. If it does not violate the farming season, the grain cannot be eaten. If you can't get into the pond, you can't eat fish and turtles." It is better than food. When the ax and catty enter the mountains and forests, the wood cannot be used well. The grains, fish and turtles cannot be eaten well, and the wood cannot be used well. This is to make people live and die without regret."

"Oh! What a big tone!" The one-year elder stared in amazement.

The examiner, Grand Master, couldn't help but stood up, walked over to look at the scroll in Mustache's hand, looked at it carefully, and admired it in his heart, "Miao, this student has a righteous heart and a bold and unrestrained style of writing, Zhou Ji Nian? Are you here? Is anyone familiar?"

"I have heard about it." The local official of Fucheng stood up and bowed, and said slowly: "This life is the top case in the 37th year of Qingyuan..."

"However, his achievement is not the number one scholar."

The Grand Maester was curious, "How do you say that?"

"This week's scholar was previously awarded a hundred taels of silver by the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Several graders look at me and I look at you, their eyes are full of curiosity, how can a mere scholar be rewarded by the Ministry of Household Affairs?

"He was born in Dajing Village outside Qingshui Town. The locals call him a fish-farmer. He raised fish in the rice fields. The fish ate pests, and the villagers had a good harvest. This method was proposed by the county magistrate, and the Ministry of Households hereby rewards him."

"At such a young age, with outstanding literary talents, it is really rare for a noble son to come from a poor family."

"It's wonderful, with this family and country mind, I will be the pillar of my future."

"This year's Xie Yuan deserves it."

"Oh! No wonder the tone of the article is so loud. Do you dare to talk about governing the country even if you are good at farming? It's just doing kung fu on paper." The old man shook his head and sighed, "Arrogant and conceited."

The scholar thought for a while, and said: "Shan, this "Farming Policy" is very talented, and it has been well-governed in this life, so let me submit it."

……

On September [-]th, when the sweet-scented osmanthus was in full bloom, this day was also the day when the township examination results were released.Xie Yao got up early and slammed the door of Zhou Jinnian's room without notice.

"Ji Nian, today's list is announced, you get up quickly, we go to the store too early." Xie Yao's tone was excited, as if he was the one waiting for the list in the exam.

Zhou Jinnian sat up and immediately responded: "Come on."

He stopped his brother-in-law's knocking on the door, and turned his head to look at Xie Ning.

The little husband curled up on his side, the little fish in the watermelon kicked his legs, Xie Ning felt uncomfortable, his brows twitched, but he was still snoozing.

Zhou Jinnian immediately put his palms on his belly, and warned the child softly: "Don't bother your father, sleep for a while."

In fact, their child is already very well-behaved, he only moves a few times when he is frightened, and he usually ignores begging him.

Xie Ning woke up suddenly, "Hiss... legs..."

This is a leg cramp, Zhou Jinnian immediately hugged the little husband's leg and rubbed it gently, skillfully, this is not the first time he has pressed Ning Lang's leg.

Xie Ning lay on his side and hummed comfortably, blinking his eyes, as if he was still asleep.

Zhou Jinnian didn't speak. Ning Lang woke up frequently this month, and he didn't sleep well at night. If he could sleep more, he would coax him more.

Xie Ning felt comfortable and fell asleep slowly. Zhou Jinnian pressed his legs comfortably for a while, and when he got up to get dressed, he leaned over and kissed Xie Ning's forehead and belly respectively.

Dressed neatly, Zhou Jinnian left the room and went to the main room, where Xie Yao was fanning.

"Let's go now."

Zhou Ji smiled young, "Brother, wait a moment, let me explain a few words."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Lu He and said, "Go and wait for Ning Lang outside my house. You are not allowed to go anywhere until my father wakes up."

"Yes, young master." Lu Hefu lowered his body and hurried to guard the gate.

Xie Yao laughed twice, and praised without hesitation: "Ji Nian, my younger brother is really lucky to have a husband like you."

Zhou Jinnian made a "please" gesture, and when Xie Yao stood up, the two of them crossed the threshold side by side, and said as they walked: "You and Miss Li's happy life has been fixed, and you will be a couple in the next year. , I bless you in advance, brother."

"Haha..." Xie Yao laughed loudly, feeling very happy in his heart, "You will become a father, and I will also have a nephew. We are all happy and happy."

It turned out that Li Shiyi's real name was Li Shiyi. She was a bold little girl. Seeing that the deadline for getting married was approaching, she borrowed the name of her older brother who was a talented scholar and came to the government to look for a husband.His elder brother was a frail scholar, who suffered from the wind and cold when he was young, so he was raised at home to be enlightened and learn.

Xie Yao likes Li Shiyi's sharp teeth and sharp mouth. If she can't speak, she will show the coquettishness of a girl, which is rare in the world. Ever since the two of them exchanged tokens of love in Huachao Festival, Xie Yao will not allow her to pretend to be a man in a government school. Yes, but she was also obedient, obediently staying at home and waiting for him to propose marriage.

36

Xie Ning slept until si o'clock, probably because the baby's fuss in the stomach was comforted by his father in the morning, so he accompanied Xie Ning to sleep quietly, until Xie Ning woke up from hunger before following the fetal movement twice.

The door of the room was open, and the sunlight came in and shone on the wooden table. Through the screen, he saw the plates and bowls on the table. Listening carefully, he could hear the voices of Lin Jin and Aunt Chen chatting leisurely.

Xie Ning sat up, put on his coat and stepped out of the screen. On the table, there was a small plate of boiled red shrimp, potato leaves and thick white porridge.

"Have you slept well?" Lin Jin and Mrs. Chen each shared a low stool, peeled soybeans at the door, and called out loudly, "Lvhe, fetch water."

Xie Ning stroked his stomach habitually, stood at the door and replied: "Sleep well, woke up hungry."

"I don't want to wake you up in the lonely year. I think you are going to wake up. You just put soup and porridge on the table. After the green grass gets water, you wash up and eat quickly. Just put it on, it happens to be cold right now." After it was too early, Lin Jin went to cook a few prawns specially, knowing that his husband would love to eat them, and he didn't need to add any ingredients, and Ning Lang would be lovely to eat when cooked.

Xie Ning responded and asked, "How long has the lonely year passed?"

"Soon, let's see the sun, the list is just released now."

While talking, Lu He fetched water, Xie Ning washed up, and sat down to eat.

Lin Jin continued to be busy with the work at hand, and from time to time looked at Erfu Lang who was sitting quietly eating in the room, and saw that he had a baby in his stomach, and his hands and legs were still thin.

There is a folk saying that a boy with a pointed belly and a girl with a round belly.

Looking at Xie Ning's small and round belly, everyone in the neighborhood guessed it was a daughter, no matter if she was a daughter, she was sensible, she was born peacefully in her stomach, and her father, Xie Ning, was tender and tender.

Xie Ning ate it after he slept well, and his favorite delicious and tender prawns, his appetite was whetted, and he could eat a plate of potato leaves and a bowl of porridge cleanly.

After Mrs. Chen finished eating, she collected the dishes and went to the kitchen, and he sat on the low stool in front of Mrs. Chen and helped peel the soybeans.

The shells of soybeans are hairy. When you peel off the skin, the round soybeans inside will come out.Xie Ning talked while peeling, "Father, do you need to make bean paste for these?"

"Stew a hoof with soybeans. If you want to eat soybean paste, dad will also make a jar of soybean paste." Lin Jin was worried. Xie Ning stopped eating meat after the first three months. Nausea after chewing a few times.

But Mrs. Chen stewed a good tendon. It is not like the milky white soup stewed by others, but the sauced hoof. It looks black, but Xie Ning likes it. If you add the sauce, you can eat another bowl rice.

As soon as Xie Ning heard it, he knew that it was specially for him to add extra meals, so he thanked him with a smile.

Below the steps is the inner courtyard. Mrs. Chen collected the dried bitter gourds and was about to make lunch, when the basket in her hand dropped to the ground.

The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground made Xie Ning and Lin Jin look away, but the baby in his stomach also joined in the fun, writhing and kicking, Xie Ning quickly threw away the soybeans in his hand and stood up to cover it belly.

"What's wrong?" Lin Jin hurriedly stood up to help him.

Xie Ning looked down at his stomach, and said to the baby in his belly, "Don't kick me."

Lin Jin smiled, "I like to join in the fun, that's enough, don't peel the beans, go to the study and look at the paintings for a while."

Not far away, Sister-in-Law Chen was really squatting to pick up things, she was very envious when she heard that, she had seen how the whole house treated Xie Ning in the past few months, she really loved her.

Xie Ning really went to the study to look at the paintings with a full stomach. There was no shortage of money at home. Zhou Jinnian bought him a lot of enlightenment painting books, and he now knows a lot of words.

At least when the child is born, it will not be difficult for him to enlighten the child.

Now that life in Fucheng is considered safe and stable, he doesn't have to worry about food and drink, he naturally wants his father to live a good life, and it's best to buy his father a house in the city.

Fortunately, Wang Jiagui has connections in business, and Xie Ning feels that there is money to be made. Whether he opened wontons or restaurants before, he is a little brother after all, he is the husband of the lonely year, so it is inconvenient to run outside, so it is up to him The old couple manage the shop and the restaurant.

He wanted to buy a house for his father, so naturally it had to be all the money he earned himself.

……

Zhou Jinnian and Xie Yao arrived at the Tongfu Inn early, and chose a good location on the second floor. When the dragon and tiger rankings were surrounded by scholars, that is to say, the rankings were about to be announced, so it would not be too late for them to go.

Xie Yao asked for auspiciousness, ordered two taels of champion wine, mixed with pig's ears and other appetizers.

The waiter in the inn is clever, seeing the two people dressed as scholars, and Zhou Jinnian wearing a black robe is even more impressive, so he asked flatteringly: "The two nobles are waiting for the list, right? Do you need the younger one to wait?"

Xie Yao smiled and agreed, gave his and Zhou Jinian's names, and gave Shi Wen errand money.

Zhou Jinnian looked out of the window, waited for Xie Yao to give orders to Xiaoer before asking: "If elder brother wins the exam, do you have a plan?"

"You and I are brothers, I plan with you." Xie Yao replied without hesitation, and then asked: "What do you think about the lonely year? I know you will definitely win."

"Go to Beijing." Zhou Jinian took a sip of tea.

Xie Yao was waiting to ask again, but the door was pushed open, and several students from the Fu Xue came in, including Zhang Youwen.

"Brother Ji Nian, Brother Yao, I heard Xiao Er read your two names, and I quickly searched for it. We are next door, in a big room. Come over and have a table."

Zhou Jinnian stood up and politely refused, "My husband is a month old, and I can't drink alcohol. I will stay home after waiting for the list. So I won't be disappointed. I will hold a banquet at Zhou's house some other day to compensate all my classmates. None."

"..." Several scholars looked at each other, laughed awkwardly, and then retreated after a few words.

Zhang Youwen naturally didn't stay. It stands to reason that he and Zhou Jinnian and Xie Yao lived in the same room, so they should be closer. However, after eating grilled fish that time, Zhou Jinnian distanced himself from him.

Back in his private room, Zhang Youwen snorted softly: "Hey, a man of eight feet, I'm so afraid of myself, alas!"

"Hahaha..." Another person laughed, "I really can't tell, Brother Ji Nian is serious and soft-hearted."

"Brother Lin can talk, in my opinion, that's not soft-hearted, that's pricking ears! There is a saying in my ancestors, the wife is in charge, the house collapses, hahaha..."

"Hahaha..." Several scholars laughed loudly.

People on the street outside the inn window shouted one after another: "It's noon, reveal the list!"

"Release the list!"

The street was bustling with people, most of the roads were full of scholars, Zhou Jinian and Xie Yao also got up, walked to the window and looked out, the gate of the Gongyuan was full of people, and there was a steady stream of people pushing past.

There are those scholars, and more passers-by in the city join in the fun.

After about half an hour, finally there was a waiter standing in the middle of the first floor of the inn, shouting his name at the top of his voice.

"Niu Youmo! Middle! No. 60, a new imperial examination candidate!"

"it is good!"

"Good! Congratulations!"

Zhou Jinnian and the two had already sat back at the table, eating and chatting, the sun was shining outside, but there were only a lot of people guarding the Gong Yuan, after all, Zhongju was too difficult.

Various small towns flocked to Fucheng and Rural to take the test, and nearly [-] people only got [-] in the exam, a probability of one in a thousand.The main reason is that the cost of studying is too high, and various exams require travel expenses and silver. The backward education makes the students unable to learn well.

Xiao Er was running out of breath, and as soon as he entered the inn, he shouted: "Xie Yao! Zhong! No. 20 Qixin imperial examination candidate!"

Probably because he was afraid of forgetting, most of the juniors were illiterate, and they were waiting for an official report. When he heard the name, he would call it all the way back, all the way to the second floor.

Xie Yao heard his name right away, hurried to open the door, and heard Xiao Er report his results face to face, he was ecstatic, and repeated in a low voice: "I won, I won the exam!"

Zhou Jinnian rewarded Xiao Er with a dime of broken silver, "Go."

"Congratulations, big brother, the wedding at the end of the year, double happiness."

Xie Yao went to pour a glass of wine, respected Zhou Ji Nian and said: "Ji Nian! Thanks to you, although elder brother is one year older than you, he is not as good at learning as you. Thanks to you who have been guiding me, elder brother toasts you!"

Zhou Jinnian didn't want to drink alcohol at first, he was afraid that his family's little fish would be smoked, but Xie Yao's Zhongju was indeed a great joy, so he also raised his glass cheerfully, it's okay to have a drink.

Soon, the classmate next door also won a tenth place, and those who watched the excitement gathered in the corridor on the second floor, and the two of them also listened to the congratulatory speech from the next door.

"How many candidates have come out of Tongfu Inn?"

"Five or six?"

"Five, I'm counting..."

"Oh, that's great!"

You must know that this street is full of inns and restaurants around the Gongyuan, let alone twenty inns, which are designed to accommodate scholars who are rushing for each provincial examination.

"Zhou Ji Nian! Zhou Ji Nian! Let me... Zhou Ji Nian! Let me go upstairs!" Xiaoer looked happy, anxiously ignoring etiquette, pawing back and forth on the stairs, just to squeeze up.

He kept chanting Zhou Jinnian's name, for fear of forgetting or remembering it wrongly.

Finally arrived at the private room of Zhou Ji Nian and the two of them, heaved a sigh of relief, and reported in a correct voice: "Happy news! The Tianzi room of Tongfu Inn! Zhou Ji Nian is in the middle!!"

Xiao Er dragged on the word '中' for a very, very long time...

Everyone held their breath, for a while, the crowd watching No.10 on the second floor of the inn was silent, waiting for Xiaoer's happy news.

"No.1! Jie Yuan!"

Xie Yao's hands were shaking when he stood up, his brother Zhou Ji Nian is No.1 again? !

……

The two were known and did not know all kinds of congratulations, and hurried out of the siege to go home.

Zhou Jinnian also took the first place in the township examination, and Xie Yao announced his congratulations at home first, so the next day the prefecture and county governors held a "Luming Banquet" to entertain all the new imperial examination candidates. It's just more joy than joy, not as surprised as last time.

Lin Jin took Mrs. Chen to the street to buy meat, Xie Ning and Zhou Jinian were alone in the room.

"Don't..." Xie Ning avoided Zhou Jinnian, feeling too hot.

Zhou Jinian folded his arms around his chest, "Zhong Xiucai knew how to give kisses back then, but now my husband is the master of juren, huh?"

He acted like you figured it out.

Xie Ning looked at Ji Nian's way of having fun with him on purpose, and laughed, inexplicably feeling like an old man, as if the two had been together for more than ten years.

"Stupid." Zhou Jinnian went to the washstand, cleaned his hands and twisted the veil, and went to wipe Xie Ning's face to cool down.

The handkerchief was wiped carelessly on Xie Ning's face, and Xie Ning came out shaking his head, pouting and kissing Zhou Jinnian with a 'boo'.

Before retreating, Zhou Jinnian tenderly kissed her.

Xie Ning smashed his tongue after kissing, "Wine?"

Zhou Ji smiled young, "I just had a drink, big brother respects."

"I'll try it..." Xie Ning pouted and wanted to post it again.

This time it was Zhou Jinnian who avoided it, threw the handkerchief into the water basin, picked up the little husband and put him on the bed.

Xie Ning didn't want to sit up when he could lie down, so he pinched his legs for Zhou Jinnian, the two talked for a while, he yawned, Zhou Jinian lowered his voice, and coaxed him without saying a few words He took a nap.

Xie Ning thought in a daze, he was too depraved, he just woke up, had two meals in the morning and noon and then took a nap, he was raised as a piglet by his husband.
