At the beginning, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, and the woman is busy in the imp

Xie Yuheng gently tapped Suzaku's not-so-smart bird's head with his bamboo chopsticks, but said nothing.

The food, chicken, duck, fish and meat in her space are almost piled up, but it’s just not convenient to take them out.

The Xie family's fields are basically rented out. With Yu Zhaotang here, they don't care about the little rent every year.

It's better to use it to win people's hearts. Anyway, the students grow it themselves, and they can get a good reputation, so why not do it.

Thinking of this, I picked up a few tea tree mushrooms and ate them. The aroma was rich and the texture was delicate. It’s just a bit cumbersome!

With the current income from the academy, after excluding the master's monthly salary, there is not much left.

Xie Yuheng lowered his eyes. She must try her best to get a good result in this imperial examination, otherwise the college will really lose money and gain reputation, just to gain reputation.

......

On a February day that was suddenly warm but still cold, Xie Yuheng stood by the window and looked out. Only a few lanterns under the eaves were swaying in the dark night.

The door was pushed open with a creak and was quickly closed.

"Why do you open the window so wide? Don't catch a cold."

Meng took out a cloak from the closet and put it on her.

Xie Yuheng's warm little hand covered Meng's hand and said softly: "Yuheng is not cold."

Suzaku is the symbol of the sun among the four symbols of Bagua, and its attribute is fire.

Being forced into a contract and drained of all abilities, there should be some benefits.

Xie Tingjiang looked around but did not find the little tuanque, and said worriedly: "Where is the bird?"

There are Master Si and Chang He at home, so it is not convenient for them to call Fenghuang directly.

They can risk their lives for Yuheng, but they can't gamble on Master Si's eventuality.

"sleeping."

Xie Yuheng's fingertips brushed the ruby ​​on his waist, and a smile appeared on his lips. What a Suzaku, from her point of view it's just as good as a Piglet.

As if the Suzaku had a telepathic connection, a fluffy white bird head poked out from the ruby, with its eyes still closed.

After a while, he shrank back and continued to sleep.

The couple looked directly at the miracle for the first time and were a little stunned.

After coming back to his senses, Xie Yuheng was suddenly hugged tightly by Meng, and his nose was filled with Meng's breath.

Meng's voice sounded above her head, "Just do whatever Yuheng wants to do, even if it is... Your father and I will always stand behind our little Yuheng."

Xie Yuheng knew that although Meng's unexplained implication was: even if there is rebellion...

She hugged Meng back comfortingly and said softly: "Mother, just wait, Yu Heng will fight for your wife." After saying that, he gave Xie Tingjiang an arrogant look.

Xie Tingjiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and stretched out his arms to hug the mother and daughter.

He had long vaguely felt that Yu Heng's entry into officialdom was related to his ancestors, and his father could not help him in his official career.

We can only recruit a wide range of students, and when those students become officials, they will inherit the relationship between master and apprentice and can be used by Yuheng.

Father's love is silent and the room is warm.

There was a knock on the door, and Chang He's voice came into the room through the door.

"Young Master, the county has fired the first shot and we are ready to go."

The cannons are usually set off on the main street by people from the county government ceremony room during the Yin period.

Remind the students that it’s time to get up and start preparing for the entrance.

Chang He stayed in the county yesterday, waiting for the first cannon to be fired before he came back to notify the Xie family.

Xie Tingjiang opened the door, holding Xie Yuheng's test basket in one hand and giving Chang He a heavy purse with the other.

Chang He looked at his wallet and didn't know what to do. This was what he should do as a servant.

"Take it, Yuzhaotang has made a lot of money from the New Year's gift box, and he is not short of the money." Si Yuandao was wearing a light gray thin cloak and stood at the archway at the entrance of the courtyard.

Si Yuandao had no doubt about his disciple's intelligence, but after all, he was only five years old, so he still felt uneasy.

"I've met you, sir." Xie Yuheng bowed to Si Yuandao. Under his cloak, he still had yesterday's clothes, and he might have woken up before he fell asleep.

Si Yuandao patted the young disciple on the shoulder and walked towards the gate together.

Si Yuandao rubbed his face that was stiff due to the cold wind with his big hands and said:

"This imperial examination is for the imperial court to send academicians to various places for examinations. You are a member of the academicians with a name. If you want to get the top prize, I'm afraid your essays will be more brilliant than usual."

Xuezheng entered Gongyuan as soon as he arrived in Jiangling the day before yesterday.

The local garrison surrounded the Gongyuan. Not a single bird can fly in, and no one knows who the scholar is.

Because Chu Heng adopted the policy of courtesy first and then fighting when fighting in his early years.

If they don't surrender and crush them with force, many local officials will still be from the old days. They will only settle accounts with those corrupt officials after the imperial court is stabilized.

"On the contrary, Yu Heng thinks that this is better than Magistrate Liu being the examiner. After all, my father and Magistrate Liu know each other.

I also have a title, so I can avoid some rumors by being the examiner of academic affairs. "

Xie Yuheng looked ahead. The gate was already surrounded by villagers. Everyone held lanterns and torches to illuminate the road ahead.

I don't know who shouted, "The master of the house is here."

The crowd suddenly became commotion. Zhao Hongmei placed a basket of rice dumplings by the door. The rice dumplings were wrapped with red rope and still steaming.

Zhao Hongmei rubbed her hands nervously, "I know you can't eat randomly during the imperial examination. It's better to wait until the head of the family returns home from eating these rice dumplings."

Xie Xiu put down a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake with a smile and said: "Grandma originally wanted to come. She is old. I didn't call her at first. Don't blame me."

Si Yuandao stroked his goatee and looked at the villagers happily, giving them a handful of longans and me a handful of grapefruit leaves. We try our best to send various objects that symbolize high school.

Xie Yuheng and his family thanked the villagers one by one, and then got into the carriage with his two brothers.

"Marquis Xie Ting——"

When everyone heard the sound and went away, they saw the students holding oil lamps looking at the red figure on the bluestone road leading from Xie's family to the college.

Xiao Heyun, as the representative of the students, stepped forward and presented a small bouquet of lotus flowers to Xie Yuheng. "Lian... is connected, I wish Tinghou to be connected all the way."

The young man's voice was tight, and the hand holding the flower was trembling slightly with nervousness.

Xie Yuheng took it with a smile and said, "Lotus flowers are hard to find in February. I would like to thank all the students on my behalf."

Xie Tingjiang stretched out his hand to block Xiao Yuheng's back to prevent her from accidentally falling due to lack of firm footing.

The child held up the lotus and smelled the fragrance of the flowers. He saw that there were still some tiny dewdrops on the lotus petals.

I think they were just picked off not long ago, and I don’t know where these students got them from, and they are interested.

Yao raised a lotus flower towards the student to show that she was very happy.

Then he took Lotus and stepped onto the last step of the horse stool and entered the carriage.

Xie Tingjiang crossed his long legs and sat in the front room with Xie Tinghai.

The carriage drove smoothly towards Jiangling City until no light could be seen. Mrs. Liu just drove a bunch of little bastards to bed, and Master Si was giving lectures in the afternoon.

Not to mention it was okay, but once I mentioned it, the students’ eyes became a little brighter.

Can't sleep, can't sleep at all.

......

Xie Yuheng and his party met at Yuzhao Hall with other villagers from Qinghe Village who were participating in the imperial examination.

Those who did not have a carriage at home had lived in the backyard of Yuzhaotang the day before.

Xie Chunxi squatted facelessly by the door of Yuzhao Hall and yawned widely.

He said: "The second ring has just been played. It will probably take half an hour before the entrance starts."
