"Half a month ago, a horse administration official named Wen came to my shop. He travels all year round to deliver horses. His knees hurt when it rains. He moxibustioned his legs here."

"That day, your family happened to come over to deliver goods at the beginning of spring. I heard someone said that they were going to the horse market in Xiyixiang to purchase a group of strong horses and send them to the Zhenbei Army."

"At the beginning of spring, his eyes were as bright as a wolf that has been hungry for three days when it sees a rabbit. He kept pestering me to introduce him and say good things to him."

Old Shan picked up the teacup and took a few sips of tea, with a look of guilt and remorse on his face.

"Brother Lin, this is all my fault. If I had known that you were unwilling to join the army in early spring, I shouldn't have said anything to introduce you to them."

"Grandpa Shan, I don't blame you!"

Old Shan's words made Lin Lixia feel more at ease. She stood up and filled up the tea for Old Shan.

"Young ambition, my second brother dreams of becoming a general. We were afraid that he would be reckless and lose his life, so we kept stopping him. We didn't expect that he would escape."

"However, fortunately, Grandpa Shan is here to help. My second brother follows Ma Zhengguan, which is at least much safer than him traveling alone."

Hearing that Lin Lixia didn't blame himself, Old Shan let out a sigh of relief: "Little girl, if you say this, Grandpa Shan feels much more at ease."

After reassuring Old Shan, Lin Lixia gave her grandfather a glass of boiled water.

"Grandpa, my second brother will follow Ma Zhengguan and he will have no worries about food and drink along the way. You can relax. If he wants to make a breakthrough, we will let him do it. He may even become famous."

The old man of the Lin family nodded.

"Grandpa doesn't expect anything from him. Knowing where he went and who he went with makes me feel more at ease."

As he spoke, the old man drank the boiled water in the cup in small sips.

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became.

He said fiercely: "However, he didn't even leave a letter, he just ran away. I have to teach him a lesson when I come back."

"Yes, teach him a lesson." Lin Lixia helped the old man stand up: "When he comes back, I will help grandpa beat him and hit him all over the face."

"...Why are you talking nonsense again?" The old man of the Lin family looked embarrassed and quickly explained to the old man Shan.

"This child knows how to coax me. My Xia Xia is the most well-behaved and sweet, and is reluctant to be cruel to his brother."

Old Shan smiled awkwardly.

There are people from all walks of life here, and rumors spread the fastest.

The father and daughter of the Lin family encountered bandits on the road. Lin Lixia brought people to the door to vent her anger on her sister-in-law. The Lin family's Yuanjie killer came to the door. He knew everything about Ming Qing.

Besides, he thinks there's nothing wrong with a girl being fierce and able to handle things.

"Brother Lin, your Xia Xia is a good girl. Whoever gets her will be lucky."

The old man of the Lin family laughed heartily when he said this, and said with false humility:

"Brother Shan, you are too polite. Xia Xia is not as good as you said. Your family is really good at calligraphy and calligraphy. I heard from Wen Yao that your family's calligraphy and calligraphy skills are very good. They have a good chance of passing the imperial examination next year."

When Old Man Shan heard this, he laughed so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes. He looked at Lin Lixia with a smile on his face.

"Brother Lin, I accept your auspicious words. Next year, my family will pass the examination of calligraphy and painting..." Let's get married?

"Definitely a winner!" Sensing that Old Man Shan was looking at her in a wrong way, Lin Lixia quickly interrupted him and told him what he wanted to hear.

"Grandpa Shan, last time the president of Meishan Academy also praised Brother Shumo for his good knowledge and that he is good at studying."

"Grandpa Shan, I think your requirements are too low. With Brother Shumo's academic qualifications, it will be easy to get the top spot in the exam in the future."

"Grandpa Shan, please hire two bodyguards for Brother Shumo when the time comes. They must be strong and strong to prevent the dignitaries in the capital from seizing your son-in-law."

"Hahaha..." When Old Man Shan heard this, he couldn't close his mouth with joy: "You kid, what you said is too exaggerated."

Lin Lixia didn't want Old Shan to stare at her all the time, so she quickly painted a cake for Old Shan.

"It's no exaggeration. A young man like Brother Shumo who is good at studying and has a gentle appearance is liked by many ladies in the capital."

"Hahaha..." Old Shan smiled even more heartily.

Lin Lixia added: "Grandpa Shan, I heard someone tell you last time that there was a high-ranking official of the third rank in the previous dynasty. He was the second-ranked official from a poor family. On the day the results were released, his father-in-law caught him as his son-in-law and supported him all the way to the third rank."

"Third grade?" Old Shan's eyes turned red with excitement. He didn't even dare to think about this.

"The reason why my family, Shu Mo, can become a fifth-rank official is because the tombs of our Shan family's ancestors have been smoking for generations."

"Yes!" Lin Lixia continued to paint old man Shan: "The road is as wide as the heart is!"

Old Shan nodded repeatedly and kept muttering, "The road is as wide as the heart is," as if he was starting to plan his grandson's life again.

Lin Lixia said quickly: "Grandpa Shan, when I came here, my sister-in-law was cooking medicine for my grandpa. Let's go back first!"

Lin Lixia let out a long sigh of relief as the grandfather and grandson walked out of Shan's house.

terrible!

After asking for some news, I almost got married.

"Don't come to Shan's house anymore!"

The old man of the Lin family smiled and said: "Xia Xia, actually Shu Mo is really good."

"That's good!" Lin Lixia nodded, smiled and helped the old man go: "But it has nothing to do with me."

"Xia Xia, how do you plan to deliver the letter?"

"Right? How to send it?" Lin Lixia held her forehead in worry and looked back at Shan's door.

She finally came out.

Entering the room again, the topic returned to the marriage. How embarrassing would it be to refuse directly?

How sentimental?

Thinking that Luo Zisu has a good relationship with Yun Wuhen, if there is a flying pigeon to pass the message, it will definitely run faster than Old Man Shan's channel.

"Grandpa, don't worry. When brother Zisu takes the exam, we can ask him if he has any potential."

In the Longlin Kingdom, after passing the county examination, government examination, and college examination, the candidates did not pass the examination and were only qualified as children.

Next year, if you take the exam, you will need to retake it all.

The county exam was taken in Plum Blossom City. The exam lasted five times, each taking one day.

All the scholars had to live and eat in a cubicle the size of a toilet, which was miserable.

At the end of five days, when Lin Lixia went to pick someone up, she found that each of the scholars who came out was more embarrassed than the last.

After careful comparison, the three scholars from the Lin family and Luo Zisu were able to clean up fairly well.

Thanks to Lin Lixia, a few people had prepared masks, instant noodles, and fried camellia in advance, which could be eaten after simple preparation.

As soon as she got closer, Lin Lixia realized something was wrong: "Dad, brother, why do you stink so much?"

Lin Wenyao had a wry smile on his face.

"Xia Xia, we got the exam seats next to the toilet. Fortunately, you prepared masks for us."

"Brother!" Lin Lixia quickly took out a mask and put it on: "Are you also taking the exam next to the toilet?"

Lin Lidong nodded: "What a coincidence, I also smoked next to the toilet."

"..." Isn't this too much of a coincidence? Lin Lixia looked at Lin Wenhui with doubts.

"Second uncle, what about you?"

"I'm at the entrance of the examination room." Lin Wenhui lowered his head and smelled his sleeves: "Li Xia, I don't stink, do I?"

"I dare not smell it!" Lin Lixia shook her head repeatedly, almost fainting from the smell of her father.

Luo Zisu came over as if his energy had been drained: "Sister, someone is trying to punish us!"

Lin Lixia's eyes widened in shock: "You also smoked next to the toilet?"

"..." Luo Zisu nodded.

Eyes filled with love.

Lift the mask upward on your face.

"Brother stinks!"
