Li Jin could still smell the alcohol on his body, but his little husband had already closed his eyes against him, so Li Jin reached out to cover the oil lamp, returned to the quilt by himself, and adjusted a comfortable posture for his little husband.

That night, Qin Muwen held Li Jin's hand all the time, and his demeanor showed his love and dependence on Li Jin to the fullest.

Since then, Li Jin has rejected all the banquets that could be avoided, and tried his best to drink as little as possible.

In short, I won't let myself go home smelling of alcohol.

At the end of September, the township examination released the list, and Lu Changdong was indeed not on the list.

Although he already knew the result in his heart, he still felt extremely disappointed when he saw the rankings released.

But after thinking about it, there were more than 3000 tribute students (scholars) in their province who participated in this autumn, and only 130 five people were admitted, and the probability of admission was already low.In addition, Lu Changdong was unlucky, and his mentality was unstable when answering the paper, so it was reasonable that he was not admitted.

For this reason, the students in Class A who did not take the imperial examination spontaneously organized everyone to go to the suburbs to relax and enjoy the chrysanthemum.

Seeing that the chrysanthemums were blooming beautifully, Li Jin bought a few pots and took them home.

When going to the school the next day, Li Jin brought a pot to Pang Lao, and left the rest at home for the little husband and the little bun to see.

Seeing his students coming to deliver flowers early in the morning, Mr. Pang stroked his beard happily.

After Li Jin went to the lecture hall, Boss Pang felt that he should reciprocate.

But besides calligraphy and painting, he has nothing to give here.But calligraphy and painting, it's not time to give it to Li Jin yet.

For a while, Mr. Pang was a little embarrassed.

He drank some tea in the outer hall, and after a while stepped on clogs and rolled up his trouser legs to come out.

He decided to fish out the stone that he had just put in.

It turned out that these stones that settled at the bottom of the pool absorbed a lot of ink residue, which made the pool water gradually clear.

Originally, Pang Lao had prepared six boxes of stones, and planned to let Li Jin finish all the training, and then announce to others that he had accepted his apprentice.

Although Li Jin hasn't even finished practicing the stones in the fourth box, he has played the basic skills well, and the fire has come.

In other words, an average person would have to practice six times to achieve the same level, but Li Jin could write at the same level in less than four times.

After Pang Lao fished out these half-black stones, he frowned again, and after thinking for a while, he put these stones in again.

He can feel that although Li Jin has reached the level of calligraphy now, he still has greater potential.If he can persevere in practicing these, maybe he will be able to feel and write words with a strong personal style.

Thinking about it this way, Pang Lao decided to let Li Jin continue to practice.

He didn't want to waste Li Jin's talent in calligraphy.

That evening, when Li Jin came home, it was still light.In the inner courtyard, two dumplings, one big and one small, squatted beside the pots of chrysanthemums, counting how many leaves they had.

After all, counting petals is almost an impossible task for Xiao Baozi nowadays.

Li Jin put down the book basket, washed his hands, and held the little bun in his arms.

Baozi didn't stop him this time and said that he wouldn't let him be hugged when he grew up, but asked in a low voice: "Daddy, after you have a younger brother, will you still hug little Baozi like this?"

Li Jin looked into his eyes, took a panoramic view of the cuteness inside, and said, "Whether you have younger siblings or not, until Xiao Baozi grows up, Daddy will always hug you."

Little Baozi suddenly stopped talking, and just when Li Jin thought he was about to fall asleep, Baoji said softly: "I will never grow up."

Li Jin found out that the character of his little bun was actually very similar to that of Qin Muwen, except that the little bun had one more loving father than Qin Muwen, so he was obviously more carefree.

If the young Qin Muwen had something that he couldn't get by working hard, he would probably just hide all his grievances silently.

That night, Li Jin put his arms around Fu Lang's waist, and he could clearly feel that the little Fu Lang's waist had grown a little thicker. Although it didn't show much in his clothes, he could still feel it when he was lying flat on the bed.

Li Jin said, "It's been four months."

Just after Xiao Baozi's birthday, Qin Muwen started to suffer from morning sickness, obviously she was pregnant for more than 20 days.To be specific, the time when I actually conceived was probably in the middle of May of the same year.

Now it's the end of September, and the little boy in Qin Muwen's belly has been there for more than four months.

Qin Muwen suddenly remembered that the medical skills brought back by Li Jin said 'from April to July, you can have sex lightly', and he was a little nervous.

Although he was very afraid, if he handed himself over to her husband, he would not be reluctant.

Li Jin didn't think about it at all, he just calculated how long it would take for Qin Muwen to get pregnant, and when his belly would really show.

So amidst Qin Muwen's nervousness and expectation, Li Jin just patted him on the back and said, "Go to sleep."

Qin Muwen: "..."

Previously, Chen Xiran and Zou Xiujie had written to ask Li Jin if he wanted to participate in Qiuwei. After receiving Li Jin's reply, Zou Xiujie said that he would leave for Fucheng next month and continue his studies at Ningxing Academy.

And Chen Xiran planned to buy [-] mu of fertile land in the town. He has a reputation as a scholar, he doesn't need to pay taxes, and he doesn't need to serve in the military. His life is very prosperous.

Because the recipient was Li Jin, Chen Xiran didn't pay attention to those words when he replied, but completely used his own tone of voice.

After all, the two of them are good friends who know all the "black history" of each other. At first, neither of them could match or compose poems. The scene of Li Jin explaining "skills" to Chen Xiran seems to be vivid.

"Although I'm a scholar, I won't be able to get into Ningxing Academy with my epigenetic grades. Besides, even if I manage to get in, it's very likely that I won't pass the rural exam after decades. It's better to buy a family property early, my father will make money It’s not easy, and I can’t do it any more.”

After Zou Xiujie came to Fucheng, he was a little disappointed when he heard that Chen Xiran planned to settle down in the town.

"No one asks me to eat meat anymore."

Li Jin was also feeling this point, so the two ate a beggar chicken each at noon, and after they were full, they forgot all the melancholy.

If Chen Xiran knew, he would be greatly moved.

After Zou Xiujie was ranked in the college examination before, he was only one place short of being able to enter the granary student, but because there were too many former children who participated in the college examination that year, he had no competition, so he could only be ranked in Zengsheng.

A scholar named Linsheng has a monthly salary and Lumi, but Zengsheng does not.

As for the appendages that Chen Xiran took in the examination, they were meant to be extra additions, attached to the end of all students, and they were only scholars in name.But the academy does not accept it.

However, students who have passed the entrance examination have the opportunity to take the college examination again, so that they can pass the entrance examination for Linsheng and Zengsheng next time.

But Chen Xiran's enthusiasm for the imperial examination has obviously been exhausted. If it wasn't for his classmate and friend Li Jin who planned to take the exam again, he might not have wanted to pay attention to the news about it.

After Zou Xiujie entered the academy, Li Jin first recommended a few books to him, "If you can't borrow these books, I have manuscripts, you can take them and read them first."

Zou Xiujie naturally thanked him, and he said: "Thank you Brother Ajin, if I can't borrow it, I have to write to my family tomorrow, and I will go to your place to get the book the day after tomorrow."

Li Jin smiled and asked: "Of course I can do it in the future. However, Xiujie already wrote a letter yesterday, so why do I have to write a letter tomorrow?"

Zou Xiujie said: "I originally planned to leave for Fucheng with my wife in August. It just so happens that I have a reputation as a scholar and can buy a house in Fucheng. With luck, I can still be your neighbor.

Coincidentally, my wife had a wedding at that time, so I could only raise the baby at home.So I stayed with her at home for an extra month, and after my parents urged me, I had no choice but to pack my bags and go to Fucheng.But I promised my wife to write to her the next day. "

Before Li Jin could speak, Zou Xiujie said again: "By the way, is there a happy event at Brother Ah Jin's family? The little bun is already four years old, no matter what the second child is, it should be on the agenda."

When it comes to family members, Li Jin's attitude is always gentle, he said: "It's similar to your situation, my husband is also happy."

Zou Xiujie immediately smiled and said, "Congratulations, Brother Ah Jin."

Li Jin also cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations."

The next day, when Zou Xiujie went to Li Jin's house, he brought Xiao Baozi some gadgets, and in exchange Xiao Baozi said sweetly, "Hello, Uncle."

Zou Xiujie looked melancholy after hearing this, "It's a pity that my child was born too late."

Otherwise, marry Xiao Baozi back home, and let him be the head of the family, let Xiao Baozi marry someone, just like being at home.

Li Jin smiled and said, "These are children's affairs, and they have to choose by themselves."

Anyway, he couldn't take his cubs with him now, so Li Jin didn't feel any burden in his heart.

On the night when Zou Xiujie was sent away, Li Jin was doing push-ups in the main room, Xiao Baozi was squatting aside to count for him, and Qin Muwen was sitting on the bed watching the father and son.

Suddenly, Qin Muwen let out an 'ah', and Li Jin was startled, so he got up quickly, and was about to take a pulse immediately.

"Where does it hurt?"

Qin Muwen shook his head, pointed to his abdomen, and said, "He, he kicked me."

Only then did Li Jin feel relieved, it turned out to be fetal movement.

He cleaned his hands, and carefully placed his hand on Qin Muwen's stomach. The slightly raised stomach only had a slight ups and downs, but Li Jin was not in a hurry. After waiting for a few minutes, there was an obvious bump in his palm.

Little Baozi was also lying on the side of the bed eagerly, his big eyes were full of worry: "Daddy, daddy..."

Li Jin carried him to the bed and said, "Daddy's baby is moving, do you want to touch the little bun?"

In fact, although children at this age do not have much hand strength, they often lose weight.

Li Jin told him to put it gently on Dad's stomach and not force it.

Little Baozi nodded: "Gently, Baozi knows."

When Xiao Baozi put his paws on it, Qin Muwen couldn't help laughing: "You don't have to be so light, Baozi, relax."

But Baozi looked serious, his arms were tense, and he couldn't relax at all.

When he felt the impact under his belly, his reaction was even more exaggerated than Qin Muwen's. He straightened up immediately and quickly retracted his hands.

Like a little hamster who suddenly snatched a hazelnut, he came back to his senses after a while: "Daddy, I feel it!"

The first time was raw and the second time was familiar, Xiao Baozi touched it again, muttering 'when will my brother come out to play with me', while sleepiness struck, and eyelids twitched.

Li Jin carried him back to his room, took a shower by himself, and then went back to bed.

The next day, when Qin Muwen woke up in the morning, Li Jin's place was already empty. He looked at the sun and got up to wash.

After breakfast, Qin Muwen was going to make some children's clothes, when Xiao Baozi came over with his Thousand-Character Essay and poetry collection.

The little bun said, "Father, let me study for my younger brother today."
