After ridiculing each other, the two broke up unhappy, each with small calculations in their hearts.

Chu Xiangtian painted the paint on each part and let it dry. After thinking about it, he picked up a brush and drew a little rabbit on the fan.He is an average painter, but it is not difficult to draw a rabbit. The little rabbit is standing up halfway, with a naive look. After the painting is finished, he puts on a layer of varnish and hangs it in the sun to dry.

After drying, fix the rotating shaft on the wooden box and try to turn it a bit, the fan blades whirred and brought a breeze.

Satisfied with making the corners more rounded, Chu Xiangtian went to find Fu Tian with the ice fan in his arms.

The ice fan is not big, only about one foot in size, and it is easier to move than the half-person-high ice fan. At night, use a smaller one to avoid headaches caused by too much wind.

In the study room, Fu Tianzheng was reading the book honestly according to Zhou Chuanqing's arrangement. He was very focused on reading, neither Zhou Chuanqing who was sitting next to him nor Chu Xiangtian who had just entered the door, could not get him any attention.

Zhou Chuanqing looked at the ice fan in his arms, twitched the corner of his mouth, and gave a light snort.Chu Xiangtian glanced at him sideways and waited beside him.

After Fu Tian finished the book, he saw two people sitting on one left and one on the right, with the expressions on their faces a little...subtle.

"Did you quarrel?" Fu Tian carefully watched the expressions of the two of them.

"No." The two said in unison.

Fu Tian said dryly "Oh", it was a quarrel.

His eyes fell on the small ice fan on the coffee table again, with a curious expression on his face, "Where did this come from?"

Chu Xiangtian curled his lips and pointed at him, "I did it."

The ice fan is log color, and a little rabbit with a half-upright body and ears is painted on the light yellow fan, which makes the whole ice fan look cute.

"Why are you doing this?" Fu Huang turned the handle of the ice fan, and the blades whirred. Fu Huang narrowed his eyes slightly, and seemed to like it very much.

Chu Xiangtian pursed his lips, and the expression on his face could not be overemphasized, "Do you like it? If you like it, I will give it to you."

Fu Huang hugged this big toy and couldn't put it down. When he heard Chu Xiangtian's words, he was taken aback. He turned his head and looked at him for a while, then pursed his lips and asked, "You made it for me specially?"

Chu Xiangtian clicked his tongue softly, with a gentle smile in his eyes, "You're so smart."

Fu Tian also laughed, holding the ice fan as if his whole body was sunk in the soft cotton, sore and happy.

"..." Zhou Chuanqing was excluded from the aura of the two, and coughed heavily to remind himself of his existence.

Chu Xiangtian glanced at him sideways, showing a complacent and contemptuous expression.

Zhou Chuanqing: "..."

******

From June to July, I spent all the time in the company of the hot sunshine. Except for the occasional approval of documents sent by the steward, Fu Tian spent the rest of the time immersed in books, thoroughly understanding the key points assigned to him by Zhou Chuanqing,

When Fu Tian was busy, Chu Xiangtian was not idle either. The wharf in Sifang Town was almost built. At the beginning of July, another order came from the capital to dig a canal.

The canal connects the Fengshui River and the Sihu River. After the water transport on both sides is opened up, the gold mines mined in Sifang Town can be quickly and conveniently transported to the capital.

In addition to the Sihu River next to Fengshui, several other rivers radiating from north to south will also be excavated together. With Fengshui as the main artery, it connects the four directions of east, west, north, south, and south.

This is a big project that moves the whole country, and a lot of manpower and material resources have been invested. An imperial decree from the emperor directly handed over the task to Chu Xiangtian who happened to be in the south and refused to return to the capital.

Chu Xiangtian didn't like to deal with these troublesome things, but now he and Zhou Chuanqing were here. Zhou Chuanqing wanted to accompany Fu Tian to prepare for the exam, so Chu Xiangtian could only hold his nose and do it by himself.

Coordinating the manpower and material resources of all parties is a very troublesome thing. Fortunately, Chu Xiangtian has always had a reputation for viciousness, and the officials under him are as obedient as quails, and they handle things honestly. some.

The closer to August, the more nervous Fu Tian became. Fu Youqin had temporarily taken over all the family affairs.Fu Huang was so absorbed in reading that he didn't even notice that Chu Xiangtian hadn't seen anyone for several days.

In a blink of an eye, it was the seventh day of August. Fu Youqin prepared the carriage, accompanied by Fu Ji and Zhou Chuanqing, and the three of them went to Nanming County to prepare for the exam.

The hospital exam is on the ninth day of August, so they have to go there in advance to familiarize themselves with the exam room.

Halfway through the carriage, Fu Tian, ​​who was nervous, realized that there was one person missing, "Why didn't you see Chu Xiangtian?" After speaking, he realized that not only today, but he hadn't seen anyone for many days.

Zhou Chuanqing coughed lightly, and had no choice but to cover Chu Xiangtian, "He arrived in the county ahead of time, so he went to book a room first."

In fact, it was Chu Xiangtian who had been running around in several places for a while, and it wasn't until today that Fu Tian was going to the county town to take the academic examination that he squeezed out time to rush over and book a hotel in advance.

Knowing that Chu Xiangtian hadn't come, the disappointment that had just surged up in Fu Tian's heart suddenly dissipated again.

The carriage walked for nearly two hours, and it was already past noon when it arrived. Fu Ji drove the carriage and stopped in front of the largest inn. He asked: "Is it Mr. Fu's carriage? A Mr. Chu has booked a room and is waiting in the lobby."

"Yes." Fu Ji handed over the carriage to Xiao Er and took it to the back to settle down. The group of people walked into the lobby. Chu Xiangtian was dressed in a black dress and stood out from a group of scholars wearing scholar robes. Fu Tian saw him at a glance .

Waving at him, Fu Tian showed an obvious smile on his face, his brows and eyes curved into arcs of joy.

Chu Xiangtian walked towards him with big strides, and when he came close, he rubbed his head naturally, "Are you tired from the journey? Rest or have lunch first?"

"Not tired." Fu Huang's eyes sparkled, he shook his head and said to eat first, the snacks on the way can only fill the stomach, not keep you full.

Chu Xiangtian took them to a restaurant not far away, and the box was booked in advance. After lunch, Chu Xiangtian accompanied Fu Tian to eliminate food, and coaxed him back to his room for a nap.

Originally, Fu Tian was a little nervous, but the people around him seemed to be more nervous than him, and he couldn't get nervous anymore. He pursed his lips, and Fu Tian pretended, "I don't want to sleep, I can't sleep."

Chu Xiangtian had no choice but to continue to accompany him on the street. After walking the whole street and having dinner, Fu Tian obediently washed up and rested.

The weather in August hasn't cooled down yet, it's still very hot, and naturally there won't be such extravagant items as Bingjian in the inn, Chu Xiangtian was afraid that he might not be able to sleep because of the heat, so he leaned against the bed, holding a cattail fan and gently Gently fan him.

The cool wind calmed down even the heart, the two of them didn't speak, the candle shadows on the table swayed, Fu Tian stared at Chu Xiangtian for a while, and fell asleep unconsciously.

Fu Tian was very well-behaved when he was sleeping, with his hands neatly resting on his lower abdomen, and his thick and long eyelashes cast a heavy shadow under his eyelids.

Perhaps it was Chu Xiangtian who had been fanning the wind, but his expression was also calm, his moist lips parted slightly, revealing some white teeth.

Chu Xiangtian lightly touched his soft lips with his fingers, and muttered softly, "It's so good."After the person was completely asleep, he got up and left.

After a day off the next day, Fu Tian got up and rushed to the examination room before dawn in the morning of the ninth day of the ninth day.

There were quite a few candidates for reference, and there were two long queues at the entrance of the examination room, all of whom were reference candidates waiting to be searched to enter the examination room.

The roll call examiner stood on a high place, called a person, and one person went forward to get a wooden sign with engraved words, and then entered the examination room after being searched.

After waiting for almost a quarter of an hour, he finally arrived at Fu Tian. He smiled at Chu Xiangtian and the others. Fu Tian took a deep breath and walked forward slowly.

After searching his body and entering the examination room, Fu Tian took his own wooden sign, found the corresponding seat and sat in.

The examination room was tightly surrounded, and each examinee's position was individually enclosed with a curtain, turning into a small cubicle. The compartment was not big, and there were only desks, pens and ink in it. Fu Tian sat quietly and waited for the examiner. Start answering the questions.

At about the same time as Chenzheng, a loud gong sounded in the examination room, and then the sound of examiners walking around was heard.

——It’s time to post a question.

Fu Huang polished the ink well, sat upright and waited for the examiner to come. The college examination was divided into two sessions, one for the main test and one for the re-examination. The main test was about two essays and one poem. Not too bad, after he got the exam questions, he saw that the two questions were both familiar and good at content.

The first question comes from "Book of Changes": "To the people of the world, gather the world's own goods, trade and retreat, and each gets what he wants"

The topic is about the phenomenon of bartering that had already appeared during the Shennong period, which was the earliest commercial exchange. Taking this as the title obviously aims to describe the commercial development of Dachu in detail in combination with the current situation of Dachu.This is almost his old line of work. After pondering for a while, Fu Tian picked up a pen and began to write quickly.
