The next day was Xiao Baozi's three banquets. The couple were in Yangzhou City, and apart from the Zhang family, they didn't have any close relatives or friends.

The Zhang family seemed to know this too. On the day of Xisan, almost all the Zhang family was present except for the uncle and master. Mrs. Zhang and several sister-in-laws even brought relatives from their natal family over to support the scene. The Xisan banquet was considered lively.

Although Li Yaonan didn't care about these things, he still remembered the intentions of the Zhang family.

Last night, after Lin Yixuan woke up, the couple had some discussions and decided the child's name was Xu, which means the rising sun, and the son was born when the sun was rising. The couple were very satisfied.

After lunch, when the auspicious time came, the midwife took Xiao Xu'er out.

The incense table has already been arranged neatly, enshrining thirteen statues of empresses.

The midwife took Xiao Xu'er in her arms and bowed three times. The little baby was pink, and there were no wrinkles on his face when he was born. Now he can open his eyes, clear eyes, let alone, I really followed Li Yaonan.

After the worship, the maids brought a basin of clear water, and the maternity nurse held Xiao Xu'er in her arms, took the water, and patted him on the top of the head lightly: "One dozen smart."

Feeling the coolness of the water, Xiao Xuer became excited and waved her two little paws in the air.

The midwife patted him again: "Two dozen clever."

Xiao Xu'er was very curious, pouting and bubbling.

"Three dozen illnesses and disasters are gone."

Xiao Xu'er waited for a long time, seeing that there was no cool feeling on her head, and she couldn't touch anything, so she shrunk her mouth and cried out loudly.

"It's good to cry, it's good to cry." Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, and threw a heavy longevity lock into the basin.

The ancients all paid attention to customs and superstitions. Children must cry on the day of Sansan, otherwise it is unlucky.

Li Yaonan scoffed at this, but he would not be ungrateful, he naturally understood Mrs. Tai's kindness.

It's just that children born in winter take up cold water in the third hour of the bath, so what else do they do if they don't cry.Summer is naturally different. The coolness of clear water will make children find it interesting, and it is normal to be able to laugh. That kind of unlucky saying is really bad. When you meet a feudal patriarch, you will not ruin your child.

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Zhang also threw a piece of mutton fat jade into the bowl, and then uncle, cousin, cousin, and some guests who came, in fact, they were some relatives of the Zhang family, and now they are considered the same as him. distant relatives.

A woman who is married and has no children wants to take advantage of the blessing if she holds Xiao Xu'er and does not let go.

The little one washed three feasts, and Xiao Xu'er gained a lot. Tired of playing, she fell asleep, and the nanny took him back. After all, children are delicate and can't stand tossing. Generally, the child will be taken away after the baptism, so as not to catch a cold.

The three banquets were successfully concluded, and that night, Li Yaonan and Lin Yixuan bid farewell.

Seeing Lin Yixuan's still pale face, to be honest, Li Yaonan really couldn't let it go, pinched Lin Yixuan's cheeks, and said seriously: "These days when I'm not here, you have to make up for it, and when I come back, I must see how much you grow. Meat, do you hear me?"

"En!" Lin Yixuan nodded, his concern for Li Yaonan was very beneficial, he stared closely at his eyes, and asked: "Xu'er Manyue, will you come back?"

"Of course I have to go back." Li Yaonan replied without any hesitation. Although most of the candidates would pass the provincial examination in Suzhou before leaving, it was the first time in his two lives that he had a son. Suzhou is not far from Yangzhou. The child's full moon banquet , he cannot be absent no matter what.

Lin Yixuan smiled with satisfaction, he felt that the most correct decision he made in his life was to hold on to the man in front of him tightly.

The husband and wife talked for a while, Lin Yixuan had just given birth, after a while he became sleepy and his speech became blurred.

Li Yaonan quietly looked at her husband and children beside her, her heart seemed to be filled with something, she just felt that the whole person seemed to be complete.

Early the next morning, Li Yaonan packed up his luggage and was ready to leave. Before leaving, he even visited the main courtyard.He kissed his son twice hard, and made Xiao Xu'er cry.

Li Yaonan laughed loudly, Lin Yixuan gave him a reproachful look, felt sorry for his son, and blushed from crying.

Li Yaonan handed his son to the nanny, waved his servants away, and looked at his husband gently.

In the quiet space, Lin Yixuan looked a little shy, touched his cheek, and suddenly felt a little hot.

Li Yaonan sat by the bed, hugged her husband's shoulders, and said to him seriously: "Wait for me to come back."

"En!" Lin Yixuan's eyes were full of reluctance, and there was a strong attachment in his eyes.

Li Yaonan leaned down, pressed his lips against his, kissed him lightly, then stood up very quickly, striding towards the door.

Lin Yixuan caressed his lips, and was stunned for a while, until Li Yaonan could not see his figure, he recovered, a touch of surprise appeared on his face, and a touch of sweetness, the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously, he and her husband, right? Take it a step further.

Li Yaonan was actually also nervous, the first time he kissed a man, he still felt a lot of pressure, after the kiss, he felt that it was the same, Lin Yixuan's lips were warm and sweet, not uncomfortable, Li Yaonan felt relieved, and felt that it was really the first kiss. One step is difficult, after returning, maybe you can try more.

At noon, he set foot on the big boat to Suzhou. It is rare to see a slow-moving candidate like him.

There are still many people on board today, but he is the only student.

Li Yaonan felt ashamed in his heart, but it's a big deal for her husband to have a baby, so it doesn't matter if it takes a few days, as long as it can be done in time, Li Yaonan doesn't take it to heart, but is a little tired of the gossip of the ancients.

Knowing that he is a scholar rushing for the exam this year, the guests on the same boat shook their heads, obviously not optimistic about him, and always looked at him.

Li Yaonan simply stayed behind closed doors, reviewing his homework in the cabin.In case someone came up to talk to him from time to time, with a regretful tone, which made people feel tired and flustered.

To put it bluntly, Li Yaonan's name is so famous that even he himself doesn't know when the name Li Yaonan became "famous" in Yangzhou city.

I remember that last year, when it was obviously fine, Li Yaonan was puzzled, but he didn't bother to think about it, it was not a good thing after all.Just listening to other people pointing and pointing, he knew that it was a joke. He failed the exam twice, and this time he came late again, so people looked down on him.

Li Yaonan just wondered what happened to the pity in those people's eyes, and the emotion of hating iron but not steel?And the obvious gloating on some faces.

But he doesn't need to argue, anyway, as long as the results of the imperial examination come out this time, he will know the result, so why bother to compete at this time, he just made up his mind in his heart that next time he comes to Suzhou, even if he spends more money, he will pay for it. Walking on a boat, don't take this kind of beautiful looking but crowded passenger boat.

Li Yaonan was very calm, turning a blind eye to everything around him, An Anxin was studying in the cabin, or sleeping.

When we arrived in Suzhou, it was already the evening of the second day, and a brother from the clan was already at the pier to greet him. He was relieved when he saw him, and came forward to greet him with a smile: "Brother Yaonan, you are finally here, fourth uncle is so anxious It’s all in vain, I’m afraid you won’t be able to catch up.”

Li Yaonan's eyebrows and eyes raised, and the corners of his lips curled up, looking handsome and handsome: "How come, Fourth Uncle's beard has never been black before."

"Haha!" Li Youyu was amused by his witty words, cupped his hands, and congratulated him, "I haven't congratulated Brother Yaonan on his precious son yet."

Li Yaonan returned a salute, and the smile on his face became more sincere: "You're welcome, let's go back first, we have to enter the examination room tomorrow morning, we must recharge our spirits first, I'm afraid you will be tired today."

"No, I've inquired. Your boat arrived in the evening, and it didn't take long. Father knows you have a son. Let me congratulate you. I will definitely go to celebrate on the day of the full moon."

"That's a good thing, Xiaosheng's family will surely flourish."

The two came to the inn talking and laughing, and Li Youyou had booked a room for him a few days ago.

After settling down, Li Yaonan thanked him again.

Li Youyou pretended to be angry: "Brother Yaonan looks down on me, and if you say thank you again, it will seem alienated."

Li Yaonan said with a smile: "That's fine, I'm not going to welcome you either, but there is no food nearby, I have to prepare."

Li Youyou was startled: "Brother Yaonan, why aren't you ready yet?"

Li Yaonan laughed, how could he tell him that since he didn't want to go out of the cabin, he ate almost half of the food prepared at home, and it would take three days and three nights after entering the examination room, so the rest would definitely not be enough.

"There is a restaurant nearby, but I suggest you go and buy some pancakes, so that you can endure hunger and save money."

Li Yaonan nodded, food in summer tends to go bad, he is naturally aware of this, after all, the original chief had passed the examination for scholar talent twice, and one of them passed the government examination, it's a pity that he failed the college examination, and now he has to retake the examination.

Scholars in ancient times, like civil servants in modern times, also need to be assessed. If you can’t pass the test, sorry, you have to pay the taxes that should be paid.

After buying some pancakes, Li Yaonan filled several large pots of water and prepared everything, it was already evening.

Before leaving, Li Youyou pointed to the direction of Yangzhou, and told Li Yaonan: "The second young master of Li Mansion is here too, if you meet, don't be too impulsive."

A look of understanding flashed across Li Yaonan's face. Li Yaozu and Li Yaozong were carefully cultivated by the Li Mansion. It's not surprising that they came to participate in the scientific examination this time, but he felt a little awkward when he heard the second young master of the Li Mansion, but then he said He is relieved, the matter of Li Mansion has nothing to do with him.

After saying goodbye to Li Youyou, Li Yaonan went back to his room. Tonight he had to recharge his energy so that he could better cope with the next three days of exams tomorrow.

Early the next morning, all the students from Suzhou City rushed to the examination room.

Looking at the compound surrounded by wooden fences in front of him, Li Yaonan was very disgusted with the examination room, saying that the examination room actually promoted this place, it was obviously just a big shed with a tile covering the head, but thinking that the original owner had already taken the examination twice, Almost everyone in the officialdom has experienced this, so Li Yaonan felt balanced and could only wait patiently.

It didn't take long before his name was called.

Li Yaonan went forward with the package in his arms. The guards looked at him and inspected him, then checked and saluted, and found that there was nothing wrong with him, so he let him go, and then called the name of the next candidate.
