Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 199 The imperial examination husband

The annual vacation is over, Bailu Academy reopens, and Wu Bai returns to the academy with Yanshu.

They arrived at the dormitory before Xiao Zimo, and when they saw the dusty yard, the three of them carried water to clean up the yard, and then Xiao Zimo came to the dormitory with his own baggage.

Seeing the clean and tidy yard, Xiao Zimo understood that it was cleaned by Wu Bai and the others, so he hurriedly put the burden on the table in the yard, took out the cakes and handed them to Wu Bai and the others.

"Thank you for your hard work." Xiao Zimo thanked.

Yan Shu smelled the cake, and his nose moved slightly. He looked at Wu Bai greedily, and motioned Wu Bai to eat first.

Wu Bai picked up a pastry and put it into his mouth, tasted the taste, and praised: "It tastes good, sweet but not greasy, soft and sticky without sticking to your teeth, please try it."

"Okay." Yanshu Yanqi nodded.

"This is the pastry from Jixiangzhai in Linshan Town. It is a century-old brand with ancestral craftsmanship. I have eaten it once before. It has a unique taste, and the second one tastes even better." Xiao Zimo introduced.

It was said that Wu Bai had just finished eating the first cake, so he immediately put the second cake in his mouth to taste.

"Zimo's words are really good. The taste of the second one is indeed longer and softer and sweeter than the first one." Wu Bai nodded in agreement.

After Yanshu finished eating one, he also extended his hand to the second one, so this cake received a second wave of compliments.

Xiao Zimo smiled and said, "Haha, as long as you like it."

When the pastry was almost finished, Wu Bai poured himself a glass of water to moisten his throat, then looked at Xiao Zimo and asked, "Zimo, how is uncle?"

"It's all right now, thank you brother for thinking about it." Xiao Zimo said gratefully.

The two were talking, when someone knocked on the courtyard door again, Yanshu muttered: "Could it be the eldest son again?" Then he went to open the door.

Wu Bai also felt that it was very possible, after all, not many people came to his yard, only Wu Mingxuan would come here.

Unexpectedly, it was not Wu Mingxuan who opened the courtyard door, but Xie Ning.

Seeing Xie Ning, Wu Bai was quite speechless, ever since he knew that he was the prefect's son, Xie Ning wanted to get in touch with him.

Xie Ning was carrying a gift box in his hand, and he walked into the yard with a smile on his face.

Xiao Zimo wondered what the other party was doing here.

"Mr. Wu, this is my school opening gift for you. I hope Mr. Wu will not dislike you." Xie Ning said to Wu Bai with a smile.

"What kind of medicine did he take wrongly, why did he suddenly act flattering to you?" Xiao Zimo asked Wu Bai in a low voice.

"He knows that my father is the magistrate." Wu Bai explained.

"How did he know?" Xiao Zimo asked curiously.

"In the case of the owner of the teahouse, he happened to see the two of us coming out of the government office. After you left, he came up to me to inquire about the news. I told him that he was the son of the magistrate, so that he would not have any suspicions. Son." Wu Bai replied softly.

"I see." Xiao Zimo nodded slightly.

Wu Bai looked at Xie Ning, and said in a strange tone: "Although Mr. Xie and I are classmates, we are not familiar with each other. Mr. Xie gave me a school opening ceremony for no reason, and I will not be rewarded for nothing. Mr. Xie should take these things back. "

As soon as these words came out, Xie Ning's face was a little ugly, and then he regained his composure, and said calmly: "Since Mr. Wu does not accept it, I naturally dare not force him to accept it. I will just take this thing back, but if Mr. Wu has something to say in the future Trust me, I'm waiting for you anytime."

After Xie Ning took the gift away with a sullen face, Yan Shu closed the courtyard door again.

Xiao Zimo looked at the sky and said: "The sun is fine today, how about we move all the books to the yard to dry in the sun, to get rid of the musty smell?"

"Yes." Wu Bai agreed.

So several people went into the room again and took out all the books, and spread a layer of clean paper on the ground, and finally put the books on it and spread them out to dry.

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the month, and Xiao Zimo was packing up early in the morning. Wu Bai couldn't see clearly, so he asked, "What are you packing for?"

"I forgot to talk about this with Brother Bai before. Father and the others have now moved to Fucheng. I plan to take a rest and go down the mountain to see them today." Xiao Zimo replied.

"That's great, where do they live now?" Wu Bai asked with a smile.

"Now they live in Fucheng West Lane. They are renting a house. This time the move is quite sudden. The house in the town has not yet found a buyer. They have to wait until the house in the town is sold before they consider buying a house in Fucheng again." Xiao Zimo said truthfully.

"I have a Zhuangzi near the foot of Bailu Academy, why don't they move there?" Wu Bai suggested.

Xiao Zimo shook his head and said, "Thank you, brother Bai, for your kindness. They have already rented a house and put all their things in order, so we won't bother brother Bai for the time being."

"Well, it's good for Uncle and the others to move to Fucheng. You can visit them at any time when you are resting and taking a bath." Wu Bai said.

"Brother Bai, do you want to go with me?" Xiao Zimo invited.

"Okay." Wu Bai nodded.

Soon a few people went down the mountain in a carriage, entered Fucheng, came to West Lane, and stopped in front of a house.

Mother Xiao heard the knock on the door, came over to open the door, saw Xiao Zimo, Wu Bai and others outside the door, with a smile on her face, and welcomed them in.

After entering, Wu Bai said hello to Xiao Zimo's parents.

Father Xiao said with a smile on his face, "Okay, I didn't expect Mr. Wu to come too."

In Xiao's father's eyes, Wu Bai can be regarded as the savior of their family, so he has a good impression of Wu Bai, and Wu Bai is his son's classmate and friend, so he hurriedly asked Xiao's mother to go out and buy some good ingredients. Entertain Wu Bai and the others.

"Uncle, you don't need to be so polite." Wu Bai replied with a smile.

Mother Xiao poured tea for them, and also said with a smile: "You guys just sit around, I'll come when I go." After she finished speaking, she went out with a basket on her shoulders.

After she left, Wu Bai and Xiao's father started chatting, of course they mainly talked about Xiao Zimo's big and small things in the academy. He knew that Xiao's father would definitely like to hear this, so he randomly picked a few things about Xiao Zimo to tell him, Xiao's father couldn't stop smiling.

It was also the first time Father Xiao heard about his son's performance in the academy. In the past, his son would always look sensible and polite at home, but he didn't expect his son to be stupid sometimes.

Xiao Zimo next to him was also helpless. He thought that he was a polite and studious image in Wu Bai's heart, but he didn't expect Wu Bai to say that he seemed a bit, stupid?

For example, once it was raining, Wu Bai forgot to bring an umbrella, he handed his own umbrella to Wu Bai, and finally returned to the dormitory drenched, he could actually share an umbrella with Wu Bai to return to the dormitory, or they He could wait for Yanshu to deliver the umbrella, but he didn't know what to think at the time, he just wanted to prevent Wu Bai from getting wet, so he plunged into the rain by himself.

Another time, Wu Bai was unwell and stayed in the dormitory instead of attending the lecture. He promised to make notes for Wu Bai to copy, but when he was listening to the lecture, he was in a daze because he was worried about Wu Bai’s health. In the end, he didn’t take any notes, and was reprimanded by his master for copying. In the end, he borrowed excerpts from his classmates for notes, but because he was too selfless, he missed going to the restaurant for dinner, and almost fainted from hunger.

"Hahaha..." Father Xiao couldn't help laughing.

At this time, Mother Xiao came back with a vegetable basket and asked, "What are you talking about? You are smiling so happily."

"I'm talking about Zimo, a fool." Father Xiao replied.

Mother Xiao asked curiously, "What did Zimo do?"

"He, hahahaha...I'll tell you later, I can't help but want to laugh right now." Father Xiao laughed wildly.

During dinner, Father Xiao took out his collection of wine and wanted to toast Wu Bai a glass to express his gratitude.

Xiao Zimo stopped him and said, "Father, Brother Bai is weak and cannot drink."

Through the chat just now, Xiao’s father knew that Wu Bai was only one year younger than Xiao Zimo. At this moment, comparing the figures of the two, Wu Bai was indeed a little slender. He put down the bottle and blamed himself: “It’s because I didn’t think carefully. .”

"Uncle, don't blame yourself." Wu Bai picked up the teacup in hand and said, "I'm toasting my uncle and aunt with tea instead of wine. It's really disturbing to come here today, and I have caused you a lot of trouble."

Father Xiao shook his head and said, "What are you talking about? We both want you to bother us more."

"Hahaha……"

In the evening, Wu Bai lived in Xiao's house. Apart from the two main rooms, the newly rented house by Xiao's house also had two wing rooms. He lived in the left wing room, and Yan Shu lived in the right wing room.

The next day, the group of them had lunch at Xiao's house, and then left in a carriage.

Xiao's father and Xiao's mother are very fond of their son, who is a classmate and friend. Before leaving, they smiled and asked Wu Bai to come back next time.

Back at Bailu Academy, the two put their whole body and mind into their studies. Apart from going to the dormitory to attend lectures every day, they would study the old country test papers that Wu Chengzhou found for them, or go to Zangshuge to read books.

During this period, Wu Mingxuan never approached Wu Bai in the future. On the contrary, Xie Ning would come to make friends with Wu Bai. However, the rural examination is more important. It's not the same obsession with Wu Mingxuan when he inquired about the news last year.

Soon after another half a year passed, Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo began to pack their bags, and in half a month it would be the provincial examination.

This time, they participated in the provincial examination with the provincial capital. The students of Bailu Academy were led by Master Huang and another master to the provincial capital.

Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo also went home separately and explained the situation to their families. They went to the provincial capital this time, and they would not come back until the results of the township examination came out. It would take at least a month.

For Xiao's father and Xiao's mother, although his son was not often by his side in the past, but this time he was going to the provincial capital to participate in the rural examination. It was rare for his son to be so far away from home. In the provincial capital, they can feel a little more at ease.

Wu family

Wu Chengzhou looked at the two sons in front of him with satisfaction in his eyes, and he encouraged him: "This time you go to the provincial capital, you must do your best and try to get all of them admitted to Juren. If anyone wins, what do you want when you come back?" Just say it as a father."

"Yes, father." Wu Bai and Wu Mingxuan said in unison.

"This time I'm going to the provincial capital, if you need anything, just tell your wife, and if you need any silver taels, just go to the account and just withdraw it." Wu Chengzhou instructed.

"Yes."

"By the way, it's rare for you to come back. Go see your mother first and say goodbye to them." Wu Chengzhou said.

After leaving Wu Chengzhou's place, Wu Bai and Wu Mingxuan dispersed separately. Wu Mingxuan found Ying Churou and made various promises to her that he would definitely be admitted to Juren.

Wu Bai went back to her own yard, but Nan Yiyun found out that he was going back to the mansion, so she found him and asked Wu Bai to promise her that he would be admitted to Juren.
