The beloved baby has a space

Grandma Wang and her husband took Ayu out the door, and Xiao Feng was so frightened that he didn't react for a moment.

When Zao'er saw that Xiao Feng didn't follow, she breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't want to come along, but Xiao Feng and his fiancée had a big fight in the street, shouting that they were going to jump off the restaurant.

Having lived in the Duke of Anguo's mansion for so many years, he knew his cousin's temperament well. He happened to meet him on the road and followed him.

The Anguo Duke's mansion doesn't have many people, and few grandchildren. Including him, the cousin grandson he picked up halfway through life, plus Xiao Feng, there are two other young masters, but no sisters.

After returning to the Duke of Anguo's mansion, he was initially very uneasy, but his family suffered a great calamity, and he was in a daze. After a while, he forgot about the past.

All I remember is that I was originally stranded in the countryside, and after my parents died, I was taken back to my mother's family to be raised.

The people in the Duke of Anguo's mansion were not very friendly. The old Duke treated him indifferently, but the Duchess doted on him exceptionally, even more so than the other children she raised.

Therefore, Xiao Feng disliked him in every way.

Fortunately, there was nothing he could do for her, so Zao'er never took it to heart.

"Young Master Zao'er, Young Master Xiao Feng, what do you think?" The restaurant manager looked bitter.

Zao'er was about to untie the purse from her waist when Xiao Feng snapped out of her daze and rolled her eyes at him: "It's all your fault, you jinx! You made me lose my wife! You should pay for this. If you go back and talk nonsense, you'll be sorry!"

After saying that, he went straight downstairs, picked up the gold necklace that Ayu had thrown on the table before she left, and then kicked over the stool next to her.

Then, a servant below said, "Young master, the people from the Grand Commandant's mansion request your presence."

Xiao Feng's impatient voice came from behind: "Ugly people always cause trouble, I'm not going! Go and find out for me which family my wife belongs to!"

Zao'er sighed silently in her heart.

After Ayu and the others walked out the door, Old Wang glanced at Old Mrs. Wang several times with surprise.

"What, you have something to say?" Old Mrs. Wang seemed to have eyes in the back of her head, and she snorted out.

Old Wang shook his head, then, remembering that his wife was blind, he continued, "It's alright, it's alright. Let's go back first and prepare some things for the children. We'll need to get them new things tomorrow morning."

On the morning of the fourth day of the expedition, families who were able to send food inside would do so.

If the weather gets cold, extra money is needed to have the invigilator bring special charcoal.

Clothes are not allowed to be given away, for fear of smuggling in unwanted items.

Grandma Wang responded with a soft "hmm" through her nose, then took Ayu's hand and went to buy ingredients, planning to find a restaurant to cook the food and then deliver it to the two children.

Throughout the journey, Old Wang was completely baffled.

Something's wrong. My wife is acting very strangely.

She actually demonstrated her martial arts skills in front of Ayu. Although Ayu didn't notice at the time, she might have some doubts later.

Over the years, my wife has rarely shown her martial arts skills.

Even the children don't know that their mother is skilled in martial arts.

If I were twenty years younger, I'd be the kind of person who could rank high on the martial arts leaderboard.

But now it's not being properly covered up.

This clearly shows that the old wife was very angry just now. Given her personality, she would not have let the offending words of that boy go so easily.

What's more, he was using foul language, and it was directed at their family's Ayu!

The reason Old Wang didn't intervene was to prevent his wife from making any big moves and causing a huge commotion.

Nothing happened.

Something's not right.

Are they planning to use underhanded tactics?
Thinking of Zao'er again, Old Wang said thoughtfully, "It must be because of the Duke of Anguo's mansion."

The so-called Young Master Zao'er bears a resemblance to Old Mrs. Wang when she was young, about three-tenths of her appearance. If he were to lose weight, he would look about five-tenths of her.

The impetuous and impolite Xiao Feng must also be a member of the Duke of Anguo's household. My wife probably doesn't want to be targeted by the Duke of Anguo's household, which is why she is so tolerant.

Given her personality, such forbearance might not be a good thing. Just as he was thinking this, Old Wang suddenly felt a pain in his ear.

But Old Mrs. Wang tugged at her finger.

He woke up in pain, rubbing his head and hissing, "What happened now!"

Grandma Wang smiled enigmatically: "It seems I've disturbed your good time, and you're quite unhappy about it?"

Old Wang looked up and realized that he had unknowingly walked to the entrance of a deserted shop. When he looked up, the three bright red characters "Tianxiang Pavilion" made him shudder.

Ayu shook her head in disagreement: "Grandpa, the teacher said that such places for women are for scholars and ladies to compose poems and lyrics. It is not appropriate for the elderly and young children to enter."

Old Wang blushed: "..."

I'm so embarrassed.

He didn't even realize he had taken the wrong turn.

After buying their things, the group quickly headed home.

The next morning, a large number of people arrived at the entrance of the examination hall; they were all family members of the candidates who were eagerly waiting.

Ayu was also among them.

This morning, the candidates received gifts from their families, but the two sides were not allowed to meet.

Ayu quickly handed the items in, then took a small food box and gave it to the proctor who had helped pass the items, saying with a smile, "Sir, please give this large food box to the seventh-grade examinee. The small food box is for you, sir; it's made by the head chef of Defeng Restaurant. You can try it."

Sending food to the invigilators is a gesture of goodwill from relatives and friends. They don't expect the invigilators to understand; they just hope that the candidates inside can have something to eat.

The proctor took the food box without saying whether he wanted it or not, and without even looking up, stuck a note that read "Jiaqi" on the large food box.

Soon someone moved the food box aside and carefully examined it with chopsticks, checking both the inside and outside of the box.

After checking this part, we need to check it again inside.

Only after verification will it be submitted to the candidates inside.

After these steps, the food box usually contains significantly less food.

To prevent the test takers from going hungry, they would often prepare a small portion for the invigilators.

Ayu then quickly asked, "May I ask, sir, how long does it take for the candidates who take the policy exam to come out?"

The proctor, having received a good answer, was happy to reply: "The exam was over long ago. He had to wait inside until the candidates came out."

In fact, Wang Chuangui had already completed his strategy on the first day.

Coincidentally, the question asked about snow disaster management and post-disaster reconstruction, and Hujia Village was an excellent example. If he hadn't drawn the example question himself from the twenty options, he would have suspected that the higher-ups had given him preferential treatment.

But even after he finished writing on the first day, he still had to sit in the examination room for the next five days.

It's hard not to suspect that someone above him is deliberately targeting him.

Listening to the whispers of the other candidates around him, who were eagerly anticipating the exam, Wang Chuangui murmured, "My parents will probably prepare one for me too, right?"

Just then, Old Wang came up from behind, walked past Ayu, and placed a large food box on it: "Special candidate number one, thank you for your trouble."

The proctor took the food box up, and the person checking it opened it to take a look.

Wow, a hard, three-layered cornbread.

If they want to inspect it, they have to break the cornbread apart to look inside.

In the end, a box of mushy cornbread was placed in front of Wang Chuangui.

At the very bottom is a gourd, filled to the brim with water.

The gourd has the character "忍" (patience) burned on it.

Wang Chuangui: "..."

He really couldn't help but doubt his own identity.
