But it's more convenient if you close the window

The exam went very smoothly this time, his essays were well written and his handwriting was beautiful, and there was no such thing as Lu Rulan worried about eating a bad stomach and dying in the exam room.

This time the results came down, and I got a No.1 in the test.

The top few articles will be posted for everyone to watch and see. Lu Ziqian deserves the number one. When someone knows that Lu Ziqian is Mr. Qin's disciple, he adds a filter to this article and blows his article up to heaven and earth. No, he also said that the champion is none other than him.

Lu Ziqian's plan has not changed. After being admitted as a scholar, he will take the Juren examination three years later.

There was still some time before the exam for a scholar, Lu Ziqian was worried about his family, so he took Nan Qiqi home for a trip.

I was away for a month, and the rice in the fields had grown much taller, and I could harvest it when I came back after the exam next time.

Lu Ziqian went to the rice field and caught two fish. These fish were also fat and had a high survival rate. More than 100 grass carp survived, similar to carp, and even more loaches.

Lu Ziqian said to Lu Rulan: "Our family can't eat so much, why don't we sell it to the people in the village at a low price? Other places sell it for ten yuan a piece, and we have to go so far. Let's sell it for five or six yuan a piece. Anyone buy it?"

Lu Rulan resisted the urge to roll her eyes, "That wouldn't make them beautiful."

Lu Rulan thought that many people in the village were jealous of the good rice and fat fish in their house, and wanted to come to their house to destroy them. She didn't have a good impression of those people in the village, and she didn't want to take advantage of them.

But this fish is so big, it would be bad luck to sell it elsewhere, and they didn’t go to other villages to promote it. Everyone who buys fish will recognize the fish from the village in the south, and even if they advertise, not many people will come to their village on purpose. purchase.

It's better to sell it to the villagers at a lower price. Even if a fish costs five cents, you can make a lot of money.

Furthermore, Lu Rulan didn't want to tell him what happened during Lu Ziqian's absence. He still had an exam, and he didn't want to be disturbed to affect his performance.

"You write it back quickly. You are preparing for the exam at Mr. Qin's side. You don't need to take care of the family work." Lu Rulan heard that Lu Ziqian came back from the first place in the child's exam. She was happy for him, but she was afraid that the farm work at home would delay Lu Ziqian. She has great strength, no matter how many jobs she does, she won't get tired.

Lu Ziqian counted the time, "I can stay at home for another five or six days, and sell fish for you before leaving. Otherwise, you will be alone at home, so I don't worry."

Nan Qiqi on the side said weakly, "If you leave this time, I won't follow. I'll stay at home and help catch fish for sale..."

He felt that he wouldn't be able to help him even if he went, and even troubled Mr. Qin to teach him to read and write, leaving all the housework to Lu Rulan alone, and he felt sorry.

Lu Rulan looked at Lu Ziqian, "What do you think?"

Lu Ziqian is also not easy to make decisions, but he remembers that Nan Qiqi was very reserved when he was at Mr. Qin's house. When the servants helped him wash clothes or waited on him, he would feel uncomfortable, as if he put a social fear in the crowd like in.

He didn't have time to accompany Nan Qiqi when he was studying.But there are also benefits, Nan Qiqi can learn more knowledge from Mr. Qin.

If she went home, Nan Qiqi would be more comfortable in the village, but she couldn't study with Mr. Qin.

"You decide for yourself." Lu Ziqian asked Nan Qiqi to decide for herself, "Your fate is in your own hands, and you can make your own decisions."

Lu Rulan gave him a disgusted look again, "It's just such a small matter, and fate is involved. After reading the book, it will be different."

"I'm just..." Lu Ziqian waved his hand, "I won't talk anymore, let Qiqi do the talking."

"I'll stay at home. I still miss Fairy and Xiao Hei. I also want to raise those chickens and ducks at home. I went to see them just now. They have all shed their feathers and changed their fur. If I don't stay At home, they can be served on the table next time I come back.

I don't need to take exams, and the opportunities and time to study are not so urgent. I will stay at home to help, and I won't bother you to study. "Nan Qiqi said so much in one breath, afraid of being rejected by Lu Ziqian.

After all, they had agreed before that he asked Lu Ziqian for three things every day, and Lu Ziqian would choose one and refuse him.

I don't know if this matter is one of them. If Lu Ziqian disagrees, the mother-in-law will be left alone in the family. They can barely sell it by only feeding chickens and ducks, and selling tofu. Don't exhaust your mother-in-law to death.

In fact, Lu Ziqian thought that he could sell almost all the fish during his stay. After he left, he would not ask Lu Rulan to sell fish. Their family did not lack the money to sell fish, but they were afraid of wasting it.

But Nan Qiqi insisted on staying, so he respected Nan Qiqi's idea.

Lu Rulan also said to him: "Don't worry, I won't bully your little husband or let him do heavy work whether you're at home or not, see what you're worried about."

Lu Ziqian: "I'm worried about Qiqi, and I'm also worried about my mother."

"Okay, I don't know you yet, I wish I could tie Qiqi to my body every day, and take it with me wherever I go." Lu Rulan has never seen a man like this, who always takes his wife or husband with him wherever he goes. Lang's is his son's only one.

But she didn't dislike her either. If the two of them have a good relationship, they can live a good life.

Nan Qiqi blushed when she heard her mother-in-law say that, and ran away quickly.

In the next few days, Lu Ziqian changed his clothes and went to the fields to catch fish every day.

The people in the village are poor, and there are few people who can usually eat meat, but the five yuan fish is big and fat, and a family can eat two meals with a stew, and it is not bad to taste meat.

Many people came to Lu's house to buy fish, and the richer and more populous people in the village bought more. Many people in the village saw Lu Ziqian fishing in the fields every day with his trousers on his heels.

The villagers with good deeds saw Li Xiucai passing by, so they deliberately raised their voices and asked Lu Ziqian, "Last time you made a bet with Li Xiucai, he will refund your money after you are admitted to Xiucai, you went to the town to take the exam this time, did you pass the exam?" ? Why is there no movement at all?"

The people in the village didn't know the examination system, but Li Xiucai knew it. He counted the time and knew that the last time Lu Ziqian took the examination was Tongsheng.

He remembered that when he was admitted to Tongsheng, his father wanted to go door to door and tell the villagers that he had passed the Tongsheng exam.

But this Lu Ziqian came back quietly, and then went to the fields to catch fish every day, and even sold the fish. It didn't look like he passed the exam at all.

If Lu Ziqian really passed the exam, why would he be willing to do farm work in the fields?Still selling fish?

Although the status of merchants in this dynasty was not so low and they could take the imperial examination, Li Xiucai didn't even look down on farmers, so how could he look down on business people.

So he concluded that Lu Ziqian must have failed the Tongsheng exam.

Originally, Li Xiucai was just passing by. When he saw Lu Ziqian, he wanted to leave quickly because he was disgusted. But who knows, he heard someone asking how Lu Ziqian was doing in the exam, so he stopped to listen, and laughed at Lu Ziqian along the way. .

Who knew that Lu Ziqian didn't feel that there was anything to show off that he was admitted as a Tongsheng, but just chatted with the uncle like usual: "This time the exam is not a scholar, it is a Tongsheng, after the Tongsheng passes the exam, you can be a scholar. "

"Then what child has passed the exam?" the uncle asked him.

"Of course I passed the exam, it's still No.1!" Nan Qiqi said proudly from the side.

"Usually Qi Qi's voice is so low, but this time you got the first place in the test, it's really spoiling you, your voice is so loud." The uncle laughed and teased Nan Qiqi.

Nan Qiqi blushed, he pretended to wipe his sweat, and hid his face behind his sleeves.

When Li Xiucai heard that Lu Ziqian got the first place in the exam, his first reaction was that Lu Ziqian was lying, but if he said he was not lying, he could find out as soon as he asked.

If someone exposes it, how can he have the face to go out? There's no need for Lu Ziqian to lose face because of this matter.

Li Xiucai's second reaction was to run away, and his intuition told him that he couldn't stay here any longer. Sure enough, when he raised his leg, an aunt next to him asked Li Xiucai, "Where did you rank in the children's exam?"

Li Xiucai blushed with shame, as if he had been humiliated by them, he flicked his sleeves, "I don't remember what happened so long ago."

"So long? At what age were you admitted as a Tongsheng?" The aunt asked again.

The uncle next to him said: "Xiao Lu didn't get admitted to Tongsheng until he was nineteen. This Li Xiucai taught Xiao Lu before, so he must be better than Xiao Lu. Did he pass the exam when he was five or six?"

Li Xiucai's face turned even redder. He was admitted at the age of 20, and he was the last one in the exam, a year later than Lu Ziqian.

Although it was only a year, his opponent used to be an illiterate fool. If he told everyone that he was admitted to Tongsheng at the age of 20, he would definitely be laughed at by them.

Li Xiucai clenched his fists secretly, "It's just a boy, what's there to be proud of? It's not a matter of whether you can pass the next exam or not."

"What are you talking about!" Nan Qiqi was displeased, "My husband is so good, I will definitely pass the exam! And I can take the No.1 exam every time, unlike you, who can only take the exam every time."

"Who said I was last in the exam?" Li Xiucai was humiliated by Nan Qiqi at Mr. Qin's side last time, and this time he was humiliated by Nan Qiqi in front of so many villagers. He was indeed the last one in the exam. , but he didn't tell anyone, not to mention it's been a long time, no one will remember!

"Of course it's in the book." When Nan Qiqi got angry, her cheeks puffed up, and her voice became much louder, especially when she was protecting his husband, she would forget her fear, "You won't You know, the gentleman in the academy in the town has sorted out the articles of the childhood exams and scholar exams over the years and made it into a book. In addition to the excellent examples, there are also the last few articles as negative examples. Your article is in it as a negative example."

When Nan Qiqi mentioned this, she made a sudden realization expression, "I forgot, it was something that they could only see inside their academy, that gentleman knew that my husband was going to take an exam, so he lent it to my husband, how did you know? .”

Li Xiucai blushed, "We agreed to refund the money if we are admitted to the scholar this year. You only have one chance a year. You can seize it. Don't fail to pass the exam by then. It's not easy to end if you blow the bullshit."

After Li Xiucai finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.

The other villagers all wanted to applaud Nan Qiqi, "Qiqi used to speak like a mosquito, and she didn't dare to look up when she saw people, but now she can curse at people. As expected, her eloquence is different after meeting a gentleman who is a scholar."

Nan Qiqi blushed even more when she heard everyone praise him.

He didn't have much courage, and his eloquence was the same. He would stutter when he was in a hurry, and he didn't even dare to talk to his mother-in-law at home.

But whenever he met someone who scolded him, he seemed to be a different person. Once his temper came up, he would stand in front of Lu Ziqian, and his eloquence improved.

But after he finished speaking, he recalled it, became discouraged in an instant, and felt a little regretful, wondering if he would be too ashamed for saying so much, and would others think that Lu Ziqian married a hot-tempered brother, embarrassing his husband .

Lu Ziqian quietly hooked his finger, and asked him: "Didn't you say last time not to anger him, he would secretly come to pull our rice."

"If he dares to come, I will, I will..." Nan Qiqi's voice became weaker and weaker, "I will tell Mother to break his leg."

Lu Ziqian smiled and rubbed Nan Qiqi's head, he liked Nan Qiqi who protected him like this very much.

But if it was really dangerous, he would not let Nan Qiqi stand in front, "Okay! If he dares to come, let mother break his leg."

When they went down the mountain to go home at night, Guixiang's mother caught up and said, "Are you going to sell all the fish? What a pity, Qiqi, how about auntie teach you how to make salted fish, and when there is nothing to eat in winter, Take this salted fish stew to drink, not to mention how delicious it is."

Nan Qiqi was moved when he heard that, he turned his head and asked Lu Ziqian: "That sounds good, why don't we stop selling fish, how about making salted fish?"

Lu Ziqian thought for a while, he habitually wanted to ask Guixiang's mother if she sold salted fish, and just go to her house to buy it.

Seeing Nan Qiqi's eagerness to try, it's better to let Nan Qiqi do it by himself.

After all, before crossing, he often spent money to experience farming. After he passed the exam and became an official, it would be difficult for Nan Qiqi to experience the current rural life in the future.

Lu Ziqian suggested, "There are only three people in our family, and we can't eat much. Those fish haven't grown up yet. This time, I'll sell the grown fish first. Let's eat part of the rest when they are almost grown, and make some salty fish." Fish? Do too much and you're too tired."

Before Nan Qiqi could say anything, she heard Guixiang's mother yell, "It's still us Xiaolu who loves people, other people's husbands want their husbands to do more work, you are good, and love him everywhere , think about him first if you have something delicious, the men in the village should really learn from you."

A man behind him also married a husband. Hearing this, he yelled, "Isn't marrying my brother just to make him work? If you don't work, marry home and be an ancestor. Do you think we are all like children?" Lu is just as wronged."

"It's because your family is poor and can't afford a woman, so you can marry a brother," Aunt Wu couldn't help complaining, because she also gave birth to a brother, and if her brother was tortured after getting married, she would have to Distressed, "Your brother has done so much work for you. If you can't eat well or wear well, it's okay to suffer with you. You don't say a word of good to him, and you say you are being taken advantage of? Your face It's really big."

"Why am I so embarrassing?" the man was unconvinced, "You think I'm willing to marry my brother? And my family gave their family a bride price back then, so it's only natural for him to work for our family."

The rest of the men who went down the mountain together were very poor, and they could only marry their brother. They also agreed with this man's words, "That is to say, the money of the other family is not blown by the strong wind. When we pay the money, it is equivalent to taking away the money." He bought it. Isn’t it a deal to buy a servant outside? Will you work for the master’s family after you buy it? My husband is also equivalent to the servant I bought with money, so he should be a cow for our family Be a horse for life."

The husbands of those men followed behind, and they had just done a day's work, their faces were flushed from the sun, and they were sweating from exhaustion, but they still had to be humiliated by his men in such a way that they didn't even say a word of rebuttal. not come out.

Nan Qiqi was terrified when he heard it, because what they said reminded him of himself in his previous life. After getting married, he not only became a cow but also lost his life.

He often thinks of his last life, and then falls into that horrible memory, and now he is uncontrollably going to fall into that horrible memory.

But before that, a pair of warm hands were attached to his ears, and the wide palms blocked the external sound. At this moment, he could only feel the warmth from the other party.

These palms are so warm, pulling him out of the cold memory and protecting him.

He felt Lu Ziqian approaching and whispered something in his ear through his hands.

Because he was very close, he could still hear him say through the thickness of a pair of hands: "I am different from them."

……

Lu Ziqian knew that this era was ancient and backward, and the thinking of the people here was outdated. In fact, the words of those men just now would still exist in the future world.

In the era Lu Ziqian lived in, both technology and other things were much more advanced than this era, but there are still many men who think that after marrying a wife, the wife is their servant and should serve him and his parents for the rest of their lives. , can not mention a complaint.

There were such people in the era when he came, let alone ancient times.

It was difficult for him to change the thoughts of these men, so he could only control himself so that Nan Qiqi would never suffer this kind of suffering for the rest of his life.

Lu Ziqian sold fish at home for a few days, and the fish was quite easy to sell, almost half of it was sold, and the rest Nan Qiqi said to stay at home to eat.

He changed his clothes, took his things, and set off to Mr. Qin's house.

This was the first time he went to Mr. Qin's house alone, and he would go there for a long time, and he would not see Nan Qiqi for a long time, he couldn't bear Nan Qiqi, and Nan Qiqi couldn't bear him either.

The two stood at the door of the house early in the morning, holding hands and looking at each other, neither of them could bear to let go first.

Lu Rulan went to work around and came back, seeing that Lu Ziqian hadn't left, she said disgustedly: "You didn't leave after I finished breakfast, so after I finish lunch and dinner, don't you guys still leave? No one cares about you, You stand here for a few days and it will dry out, so as not to stink at the door, let your aunt next door sprinkle some salt on you when she cooks salted fish."

Nan Qiqi hurriedly let go, and took a step back, "Hurry up, don't waste time, be careful on the way."

"Well, I'm leaving. You have to take good care of yourself at home, eat on time, and remember to cover yourself with a quilt at night, so you don't get cold." Lu Ziqian regretted it, and really wanted to take Nan Qiqi away with him.

Or they should have moved to town from the start, and they wouldn't have to bother.

Lu Rulan has seen Lu Ziqian go out too many times, and she is used to parting with him. She came to drive Lu Ziqian into the donkey cart, "Go early and return early, don't worry about family matters, take the exam well."

On the first day Lu Ziqian left, Nan Qiqi went to feed Fairy and Xiao Hei as usual. The two little goldfish were very lively and even got fatter.

Lu Ziqian told him not to feed too much, fish don't know how full they are, eat as much as they have, and if they are fed too much, they will be stuffed to death.

Nan Qiqi always remembered that she was careful when feeding every day, and would stop feeding the fish after feeding a little.

The fairy eats very slowly, and every time Xiao Hei feels the fluctuations in the water surface, he will swim up quickly to grab the fish food. At first, Nan Qiqi was afraid that Xiao Hei would eat up all the fish food, but later he found that Xiao Hei They always leave some for the fairy, and once Nan Qiqi even saw Xiao Hei push the fish food to the fairy.

He was terribly shocked at the time, and quickly pulled Lu Ziqian over to look at it. At that time, he also said to Lu Ziqian: "The fish we raise are spiritual! Do you think they will cultivate into spirits, just like in the storybook?"

At that time, Lu Ziqian didn't care about the fish, because Lu Ziqian thought it was a coincidence, but Nan Qiqi was so happy, he didn't say what was in his heart, but asked Nan Qiqi, "Where did you read the book?"

Nan Qiqi smiled embarrassingly, "That's right, when you were studying, Mr. Qin found it for me, saying that this kind of story is not boring to read, and it is convenient for me to read."

Lu Ziqian thinks that Mr. Qin's trick is clever, just like his niece knew how to read when she was a child, his parents bought her a lot of fairy tale books, reading more books can consolidate the words she already knows, and look up the words she doesn't know , It is also easy to deepen the impression.

Lu Ziqian also asked Nan Qiqi, "What did you read in the book? I'm curious, let's hear it."

Nan Qiqi blushed and said, "It's just a scholar who met a carp spirit, two people, that's it for two people..."

Lu Ziqian understood, it turned out to be a love story book, no wonder Nan Qiqi was embarrassed.

Lu Ziqian hugged him from behind, put his chin on his shoulder, and asked him, "How are they doing? Is there any scholar inside who hugged his little carp like me?"

Nan Qiqi's face turned even redder. It was so embarrassing to be hugged by Lu Ziqian by the window in broad daylight. Nan Qiqi's heart was beating wildly, and she struggled to close the window.

After closing the window, he was about to escape, but Lu Ziqian hugged him even tighter, and whispered in his ear: "I wanted to hug you like this, but it's more convenient if you close the window. "

"What's convenient?" Nan Qiqi only asked half of what she said, but the other half was blocked in her mouth.

Lu Ziqian lowered his head and kissed his mouth, his teeth biting his lower lip lightly, which made him moan comfortably.

Nan Qiqi touched her mouth and suddenly came to her senses, "How can I think of such a thing while feeding a fish? It's so shameless!!"

Nan Qiqi quickly put down the fish food and ran to feed the chickens, ducks and geese. During his absence, these small animals have grown up a lot.

Lu Rulan asked him to lead the ducks and geese to the river, let them play by themselves, and put the chickens in the woods near their home. The small woods are full of weeds and there are many insects, which can save a lot of feed.

Nan Qiqi led them to different places. After sending them, people can leave. There is no need to watch them specially, and no one will steal them. If they call them at night, they will come back. Raising these poultry in the village is easy. Very convenient.

Previously, Nan Qiqi heard that in towns or cities, these poultry were generally not raised by themselves. The yard was too small, and they could not be allowed to go out casually, otherwise they would not be able to find them.

If you raise them in the yard, there will be a strong smell in the yard, and if you don't make it right, the neighbors will have opinions.

It would be nice if the yard was bigger, you can run in the yard, but if someone comes to the house as a guest, it would be too embarrassing to see chicken droppings all over the floor.

However, Nan Qiqi heard that Mr. Qin's family also raised chickens and ducks, but they were in a cage next to the kitchen.

But buying is also buying grown-up chickens, ducks and geese, which are kept in cages and can be eaten and killed at any time, which is very convenient.

At that time, Nan Qiqi had discussed with Lu Ziqian, and he said: "If chickens, ducks and geese are raised like this, those chickens, ducks and geese are so aggrieved that they can only stay in crowded cages every day, although no matter how they are raised, they will eventually be killed. Eat them, but the chickens, ducks and geese in the village can run freely, the ducks and geese can swim in the river, and the poultry in the village can live a happy life, and the poultry living in the village is happier.”

At that time, Lu Ziqian smiled and said to him: "In the future, we don't want to raise these poultry to eat. We, Qiqi, are too kind, and we will feel sad when we eat poultry raised by ourselves."

Nan Qiqi said no, "I still dare to kill chickens, I will kill all the chickens, ducks and geese in the family."

Lu Ziqian was quite surprised, he had never killed poultry, Nan Qiqi was so courageous, he couldn't help admiring Nan Qiqi.

He gave Nan Qiqi a thumbs up, "My little husband is still the most powerful, so courageous, he can do things that I can't do."

Nan Qiqi blushed when he praised her, "I won't talk to you anymore, you're making fun of me again."

Nan Qiqi shook her head, "What's the matter, why do I always think of my husband when I do everything, how can I do things well like this."

He patted himself on the face, "Cheer up, my husband will be back soon. Before he comes back, I have to do everything at home well, and I can't make him worry."

He did everything well during the day, but when he was sleeping at night, he was sleeping alone on the big bed, and his longing was surging like a tide.

He remembered that since the night when he first got married, Lu Ziqian would hug him to sleep every night, even if the weather got hot recently, Lu Ziqian still insisted on this habit.

Unable to sleep, he stared at the bed net in a daze, thinking that the two of them went together when this bed net was ordered.

Back then when Lu Ziqian asked him what color he wanted, he said to let Lu Ziqian decide, but Nan Qiqi actually wanted a light color in his heart, it would be great if it could see through the light, otherwise the dark color would make the space very claustrophobic and scary.

But he didn't dare to comment, so he didn't say anything, and then watched Lu Ziqian choose a black bed curtain.

After returning home, two people installed the bed net together. After the installation, the two people in broad daylight went into the bed net to see the effect.

In broad daylight, it was still a sunny day with plenty of sunshine, but after the two of them put down the bed curtain, it was pitch black inside, as if it were night.

For a moment, Jianan Qiqi was still a little scared, but soon, a little light appeared in Lu Ziqian's hand. Looking carefully, Lu Ziqian made a lampshade for the lamp. There was a star-shaped hollow on the lampshade, and the light came through the hollowed out gap Reflected, many star-shaped lights appeared in the dark space.

Round and round, very beautiful.

Nan Qiqi had never seen such a romantic scene before. He opened his mouth and remained motionless. After a while, his eyes were red and tears were rolling in his eyes.

Lu Ziqian hurriedly reached out his hand, tears were already falling when he reached out, he reacted quickly, changed the action of wanting to wipe Qiqi's tears into reaching out to catch Nan Qiqi's tears.

Such a big tear fell down, and it was quite weighty, "What's wrong? Is this ugly lamp I made? I tried my best, but the material is limited, the work is very rough, and the flame of this oil lamp always flickers, and the control is not good. When conditions permit, I will make a better looking one.”

"It's not ugly, it's great," Nan Qiqi shook his head, tears were thrown out with his shaking head, he himself was amused by his stupid appearance, he smiled and said: " No one has ever treated me so well, every time you treat me so well, I feel that I am not worthy at all."

"I will give you the best things in this world, because you deserve it." Lu Ziqian watched him smile, laughed with him, and raised his hand to help him wipe away his tears, "I'm crying like a little cat."

Nan Qiqi felt his fingers wiping her face. Originally they were very strong fingers, but when they touched his face, they were so gentle and cautious, as if she was afraid of piercing his face. .

That afternoon, the memories that only belonged to two people, whenever Nan Qiqi thought about it, he couldn't help but smile.

Later, Lu Ziqian also discovered that Nan Qiqi was afraid of this small dark space, so he modified the bed curtain, cut out many small stars on the bed curtain, and hollowed out those stars with light-transmitting silk material. The place is filled, lying in it during the day, the sun shines through the pattern of stars and shines on the wall inside the bed, and you can see the shadows of many stars.

Moreover, those stars were filled with white fabric, and when lying in it at night, they could also see through some moonlight, so even if Nan Qiqi slept alone, she wouldn't feel scared anymore.

Nan Qiqi kept her eyes open for a long time, her mind was filled with memories of him and Lu Ziqian, and she couldn't sleep anymore.

He turned over and got into Lu Ziqian's quilt, ready to sleep in his quilt, but found that there was something in his quilt, it was a pillow, and there was a piece of Lu Ziqian's clothes on the pillow.

There was still a note in the clothes, Nan Qiqi took out the note inside, he got out of bed and took a look at the words on it by the night light.

It says [Miss me, hold it for a few nights, I'll be back soon.I also miss you very much. 】

After reading the contents of this note, Nan Qiqi pressed the note to her chest, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, "I don't know if you are falling asleep now, and when you are not asleep, do you think about it?" I."

Nan Qiqi shook her head again, "No, at this critical time, don't think about me, you must think about the content of the exam, and you must pass the exam."

……

When Lu Ziqian is tired from studying, he will also think of Nan Qiqi. Nan Qiqi seems to be his charger. When he is tired, he will be motivated to continue studying.

Sometimes when he couldn't hold on, he would pick up a pen and draw a few Nan Qiqi on the paper.

Nan Qiqi when she was happy, Nan Qiqi who was laughing, Nan Qiqi who was crying, Nan Qiqi who was wronged...

What I drew was that kind of small Q-like head, and several Nan Qiqi could be drawn on one piece of paper.

He put these "Nan Qiqi" on the table, and occasionally raised his head to take a look, and the corners of his mouth would involuntarily rise.

Mr. Qin also saw his painting once, "Your painting style is quite interesting. This is Nan Qiqi? Although the painting has a big head and a small body, it is very vivid and cute."

"It's because the people I draw are inherently cute. When I think about cute people, the paintings I draw are also cute." Lu Ziqian couldn't help but draw himself next to those Nan Qiqi.

Mr. Qin: "..." Nan Qiqi is not here, and you can still see the two of them showing affection...

The exam went very smoothly this time, and with the experience of the exam room last time, Lu Ziqian took the exam this time in a calm manner.

After the exam, he couldn't wait to go back to Mr. Qin, wanting to say goodbye to Mr. Qin and go home.

Although it was almost dark, he wanted to see Nan Qiqi very passionately, so that it could light his way home.

When he arrived at the door, he happened to see a sedan chair parked at the door.

That was their County Magistrate Chen. The County Magistrate Chen had visited many times, but was declined by Mr. Qin, and he never met him once.

This time, he deliberately came at this time, and wanted to meet Mr. Qin's apprentice at the door, and establish a good relationship with him. Maybe he could meet Mr. Qin through Lu Ziqian's relationship.

Although Mr. Qin has no official status, all scholars in the world do not respect Mr. Qin. Although County Magistrate Chen has been an official for many years, he has not forgotten that he is a scholar.

In addition, Mr. Qin's disciples are all officials in the court. With Mr. Qin's relationship, his official career will be smoother in the future.

Lu Ziqian was stopped by County Magistrate Chen before he entered the Qin Mansion. He knew the identity of the other party when he saw that the other party was wearing an official uniform.

He bowed to the other party, "Is this lord looking for a tutor?"

In the past, the villagers or people in the town would kneel and salute when they saw him, but Lu Ziqian just stood and saluted.

But County Magistrate Chen didn't care about this. Although the grades didn't come out, Lu Ziqian's scholar must have passed the exam. A scholar doesn't need to kneel down to salute when he sees the official.

"I'm not looking for your teacher, I'm looking for you." County magistrate Chen didn't tell Lu Ziqian that he came to look for Lu Ziqian after being rejected by Mr. Qin. He asked Lu Ziqian enthusiastically, "I heard that you are from a farming family. Learn from Mr. Qin?"

"Yes," Lu Ziqian didn't want to talk nonsense with him, he wanted to hurry home to see Nan Qiqi, "Sorry, my lord, my house is far away, I need to hurry back."

"Are you going home so late?" County magistrate Chen was surprised.

"Well, the rice at home is ripe, and we have to go back to harvest the rice." Lu Ziqian said.

"I heard that your house is a mountain village, and the harvest is not very good. It's not easy for the people in the village." The county magistrate said.

Lu Ziqian thought that the other party was an official. If the other party promoted this method of terraced fields, more people would use this method to farm, and these impoverished mountain villages would be saved.

So Lu Ziqian planned to spend some time talking about terraced fields with County Magistrate Chen.

County magistrate Chen didn't expect such a method, and was a little surprised, "There is such a method? Your family planted it, and it's done?"

Lu Ziqian nodded, "Well, it's done, and it looks good."

"This kind of strange thing, I must take a good look at it." Chen County magistrate asked his home address, and said that he would go to his house some other day to see the terraced fields.

Lu Ziqian thought he was just being polite, how could a magistrate of a majestic county go to such a remote mountain village to see terraced fields after hearing a few words from him.

He suspected that the county magistrate Chen had come to see Mr. Qin, but he just said a few words to him politely.

After he bid farewell to County Magistrate Chen, he went to talk to Mr. Qin, and went back in a donkey cart without waiting for the results.

Nan Qiqi counted the days and knew that today was Lu Ziqian's exam day, but it was late at night after the exam, and Lu Ziqian would have to come tomorrow at the earliest, or wait for a while until the results came out before coming back.

But Nan Qiqi knew that Lu Ziqian would not come back tonight, but he couldn't sleep, thinking what if, what if he came back suddenly.

After dinner, Nan Qiqi sat at the door, pretending to enjoy the shade, but actually kept looking into the distance.

Until it got darker and darker, and I didn't see anyone I wanted to see, my mood changed from anticipation to disappointment.

Lu Rulan couldn't help calling him, "Come back to sleep, don't wait, just sleep, he'll be back tomorrow."

Nan Qiqi shouted hello, waited at the door for a while, and then returned to the room step by step.

Changed clothes and lay on the bed, holding the pillow wearing Lu Ziqian's clothes, still unable to fall asleep.

After all, pillows are not as good as real people's. I really want to hug the real Lu Ziqian.

Strange to say, he followed Zhao Cheng in the last life, and Zhao Cheng would often go to the town to gamble and drink flower wine. When Zhao Cheng was at home, he was frightened.

But Zhao Cheng is not at home at night, he is relaxed
