After crossing, I spoil my husband

Fu Mingyou and Xu Youan were in Xuyin Mansion, and Xia Yanxi who was in Xiajia Village also missed them very much.

This time, Fu Mingyou will stay in Xu Yin's Mansion for more than ten days, which means that the two of them will not see each other for more than ten days.

"Brother, are you cold?"

Now that the weather is getting colder, after Xia Xiaobao came back from Murray's house, he saw his brother sitting in the yard, immediately walked over, and asked worriedly.

Xia Yanxi reached out to touch the other person's little head, shook her head with a smile, and said, "It's not cold, come back from your master's house?"

Xia Xiaobao smiled and nodded, "Is brother worried about brother-in-law?"

Xia Yanxi smiled and said, "It's okay, but I'm a little worried."

"Don't worry, brother, brother-in-law is definitely fine."

Xiaobao comforted his brother like a little adult, then remembered something, and said: "I almost forgot, this is given to me by the master, who said that this pregnant woman will be good for the body and the baby after eating it."

What Murray brought back to Xia Xiaobao was donkey-hide gelatin from the palace. The quality was absolutely excellent. Before Murray's family sent some things, there were these in it. Murray didn't need it, so he directly asked Xiaobao to bring it back. of.

Now Fu Mingyou is not here, he is a foreigner, it is inconvenient to give things to Xia Yanxi, so Xiaobao can only come.

"Thank you master for me."

Xia Yanxi did not refuse. In the past two years, Murray would send things to their house from time to time, and Fu Mingyou would also send some things to the other party.

Although Xia Yanxi is very curious about Murray's identity, he also knows that there are some things that are not good to talk about.

"Well, brother, remember to eat."

Xiao Bao nodded, then lay down on the side, talking softly to the baby in his stomach.

Now Xia Yanxi can already feel the fetal movement, and the baby in her belly seems to be able to hear someone talking outside, and interact with each other every time.

At this time, Fu Mingyou was also very concerned about the situation at home, and hoped to finish the exam as soon as possible and let him go back.

Soon, the government test came.

A group of people were eliminated in the state examination last time. When entering the examination room this time, Fu Mingyou clearly felt that there were not as many people as before.

"Brother Fu, come on."

Xu Youan gestured at the other party and said with a smile.

Fu Mingyou patted him on the shoulder: "See you tomorrow."

The two looked at each other, smiled, and then went straight to their examination room.

Each exam is drawn by lot, so as to eliminate the possibility of cheating. At the same time, the exam is more stringent this time. Officers and soldiers will also patrol, but they will not disturb the candidates, just to prevent accidents from happening.

After Fu Mingyou got the papers, he found that the prefectural test was much more difficult than the state test.

No wonder others said that the road to the scientific examination would be difficult, but now Fu Mingyou discovered that the government examination papers and the original county examination papers are completely different.

For Fu Mingyou, it is a little bit difficult, especially the policy theory.

But fortunately, Meng Fuzi's one-month teaching was still useful. Even if Fu Mingyou found it difficult, it was within the level he could accept.

However, this time, Fu Mingyou estimated that he would not be in the top three.

Fu Mingyou would be very satisfied if he could be admitted as a scholar. As for things like grannies, he could stand on tiptoe and reach them. If he couldn't reach them, he wouldn't be disappointed.

Answer the questions with peace of mind, and copy carefully. If there are some things that you don't know, Fu Mingyou will not force you, save them until the end, and then break them bit by bit.

This time, after Fu Mingyou and Xu Youan came out, their faces were much haggard.

When Heizi and Zhuzi saw them, they immediately stepped forward and supported them.

"Master."

Seeing Fu Mingyou's poor spirit, Heizi cried out worriedly.

Fu Mingyou waved his hand and said, "It's okay, go back first."

The two of them need to go back and have a good rest.

Zhuzi and Heizi immediately nodded and helped them back.

After arriving at Hu's house, the two fell asleep.

The amount of questions this time was large and difficult, Fu Mingyou really felt that he was using his brain too much.

Fu Mingyou didn't wake up until Mao shi the next day.

"Master, are you awake? Are you hungry?"

After Fu Mingyou opened the door, Heizi woke up. He was worried that Fu Mingyou would wake up hungry in the middle of the night, so he just slept outside.

Fu Mingyou smiled, and looked at the other party's sleepy look: "It's okay, I'll do it myself, you go to sleep."

Heizi was only seventeen or eighteen years old, so it was not easy to stay outside overnight.

Zhuzi also guarded Xu Youan's outside, Fu Mingyou asked the two of them to go back to rest for a while, and go to the kitchen to get something to eat.

When Xu Youan woke up, he could smell the fragrance in the air.

When I went to the kitchen and saw the egg noodles in the pot, I was not polite, filled a bowl, and ate it in big mouthfuls.

"Well, Brother Fu, your craftsmanship is really good."

Xu Youan had eaten the food made by the other party before, and the other party's cooking skills were really good.

"Not bad." Fu Mingyou smiled. He had eaten a bowl just now, and now his speed has slowed down. "It's just that the conditions are limited, otherwise I can make more delicious ones."

For example, use bone broth as the soup base, add some fried shredded pork, and put some chili sauce, it must be very delicious.

"That's pretty good."

Xu Youan ate with a snort, and then wiped the corners of his mouth contentedly.

Not to mention, eating a bowl of hot noodles in the morning is really warm.

"It was such a comfortable sleep."

Fu Mingyou leaned aside and looked at Xu Youan: "Do you want to write the answer?"

Xu Youan smiled and said, "This time, I don't need it, I don't even want to write."

"Haha, I didn't expect you to have today."

Fu Mingyou smiled, but he felt that with Xu Youan's knowledge, although the government examination was somewhat difficult, it was not too difficult.

The two were chatting, and after Chen Shi, the grandparents of the Hu family, Heizi and the others woke up.

Fu Mingyou and the others had already had breakfast, so they didn't join the crowd.

In the next few days, Fu Mingyou and Xu Youan were not idle, and they bought a lot of things in Xu Yinfu.

This time, the two bought nothing but books.

There are many more bookstores in Xuyin Mansion than in Yuanyang County, and many books are not available in Yuanyang County. Although the test papers are difficult, it is not difficult for two people to be admitted as a scholar.

It's just the level of ranking, which the two people couldn't predict.

"Master Rong?"

After Fu Mingyou walked into a bookstore, he was surprised to see Rong Fanghai inside.

Shouldn't the other party be in Yuanyang County?Could it be that the other party is also the chief examiner of the state and government examinations this time?

But according to Rong Fanghai's rank, it seems that he is not qualified to be the chief examiner.

When Rong Fanghai saw Fu Mingyou, he couldn't help but smiled: "Young Master Fu, are you here to buy books too?"

"Master Rong."

Xu Youan bowed to the other party, anyway, he is a junior.

Rong Fanghai smiled at the other party. This time, he read the papers of the state examination, and he also read the papers of Xu Youan and Fu Mingyou, both of which were good.

Especially Xu Youan, no wonder Master Meng wrote to him before saying that he wanted to take Xu Youan as his apprentice, he was really smart.

Fu Mingyou smiled and said, "Xu Yinfu has a lot of books."

Rong Fanghai nodded in agreement: "If possible, I'd better buy some more to take home. Every time I come here, I will also buy some books to take home."

The resources in Yuanyang County are still not as good as Xu Yin's Mansion, otherwise he would not buy books here every time.

The three talked for a while, and then they chose their own books.

Both Fu Mingyou and Xu Youan's goals were very clear, mainly the bibliography for the exam in three years' time. This time they must be talented, but at the same time, they also clearly understood their own shortcomings.

"Brother Xu, I think what Master Meng said earlier makes sense."

When returning, Fu Mingyou sat in the yard, looked at Xu Youan and said.

Especially Fu Mingyou found many deficiencies in this exam. If he can't solve these deficiencies, he will definitely fail the exam three years later.

"I agree too."

Xu Youan nodded, but still hesitated: "But the capital is not such a good place to stay."

Leaving aside whether they can get into the schools in the capital, more importantly, the expenses in the capital must be higher than those in Linshui Town.

Fu Mingyou smiled and said, "What do you have to worry about? Since Master Meng decided to accept you as an apprentice, he will definitely take care of it for you. Besides, when the time comes, you will ask Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu to open a house in the capital." It’s a store, and the business is definitely booming. And your sister is eight years old this year, and in a few years, she will definitely have to see her, and then you want him to marry someone in the village?”

Xu You'an's future is immeasurable. When the other party's younger sister got engaged, the other party must have won the election. There is absolutely no doubt about it.

"Let me think again."

Xu You'an was actually very excited. Although he could study in Xu Yin's mansion, he had never been to the capital.

More importantly, he also wanted to worship Master Meng as his teacher. Master Meng had told him before that he hoped he would go to the capital.

During the few days of waiting for the results, the two of them were very leisurely.

Now Fu Mingyou can't wait for the results to come out as soon as possible, so that he can go back directly.

"Brother Xu, are you nervous?"

Fu Mingyou sat drinking tea in an inn near the bulletin board, and said to Xu Youan.

Xu Youan smiled, but before he could speak, an old man came out from the side.

"Excuse me, are you two candidates for the provincial examination?"

Lin Weisheng had known Fu Mingyou for a long time, but Xu Youan really didn't. Therefore, in order not to arouse the vigilance of the two of them, he decided to greet him as a stranger.

Fu Mingyou and Xu Youan glanced at the middle-aged man opposite, stood up and smiled, "That's right, uncle, are you also an examinee this time?"

The other party looked very bookish, and he was probably also a candidate for the provincial examination this time.

Lin Weisheng paused for a moment, then smiled, and then neither nodded nor shook his head: "Are you two sure about this scientific examination?"

"Before the results come out, we don't have a definite number."

Xu Youan smiled and said very ambiguously.

Fu Mingyou also nodded in agreement: "We don't know, we just wait for today's results."

Lin Weisheng knew that the two of them were cautious, so he just smiled: "Then I wish you two titles on the gold list."

He couldn't say anything else.

Fu Mingyou and Xu Youan nodded with a smile and thanked them.

At the time of the third quarter of the hour, the people in the government directly posted the results.

"Let's go, Brother Xu."

Fu Mingyou looked at Xu Youan and said with a smile.

This time, they didn't let Heizi and Zhuzi go to see it, but went there with Xu Youan in person.

Xu Youan nodded with a smile, and then walked directly down.

The results were posted, and there was a circle of people on the bulletin board.

"Congratulations, Master Xu, you are the Jie Yuan of our Xu Yin Mansion."

"Congratulations, Master Fu, you passed the Yakui exam."

When the person presenting the list saw Fu Mingyou and Xu Youan, they congratulated immediately.

Fu Mingyou on the side was stunned for a moment, and then immediately patted Xu Youan's shoulder happily: "Brother Xu, brother Xu, you are Xie Yuan, congratulations."

"Brother Fu, congratulations on your winning the first prize."

The smile on Xu You'an's face became wider and wider, and he cupped his hands and said.

Heizi and Zhuzi on the side looked at each other, and were also very happy, and immediately stuffed some money towards the two of them.

"Congratulations to Eldest Young Master and Young Master Xu."

Zhuzi and Heizi were very happy and said immediately.

Fu Mingyou and Xu Youan were overjoyed, and went straight back to Hu's house, ready to go back immediately.

Fortunately, the time is still early, and if we rush back, there is still time.

Mr. Hu was also very happy. Unexpectedly, one of the people who rented their house this time was Xie Yuan and the other was Yakui.

Yakui is No.6, and generally only the top six can enjoy the benefits of a scholar.

"Brother Xu, congratulations on your hard work."

Fu Mingyou was really happy for Xu Youan. The other party's ability to win No.1 this time also showed the strength of the other party.

Xu Youan's eyes were a little moist, and he didn't say anything, but just cupped his hands: "Thank you, Brother Fu."

In fact, he is most grateful to Fu Mingyou, if not for him, he would not be where he is today.

Don't talk about Xie Yuan, whether you can take the exam at that time is another matter.

Together with Fu Mingyou and the others, there is also the messenger.

They set off from Xuyin Mansion one after another, and headed for the hometown of each scholar.

Linshui Town, this is a very ordinary town in Yuanyang County, but to be able to have a Jieyuan and a Yakui in the two villages below, this is no less than a shocking thunder to everyone.

"Congratulations Fu Fulang."

The person who came to deliver the letter was someone close to Rong Fanghai, who directly told Xia Yanxi the news that Fu Mingyou was admitted to the scholar this time.

Xia Yanxi couldn't help but stagnate in her breathing. After taking a deep breath, she asked Wu Niang to launder money.

The other party delivered the letter and went back directly.

However, the messengers from Xu You'an's family did not go so smoothly.

After the other party arrived at Xujia Village, he found that there was no one in the house. After inquiring, he found out that people from Xu's family were working in the town's Shiweitian, and turned back immediately.
