After Liu Ruolan was scolded by the old lady, she finally got better, but she was obviously mentally weak, and her mood was far from what it used to be.

Liu Ruolan couldn't live in her natal family all the time, after all Gao and Wang found a reason to take her back.

This time when Liu Ruolan came back, the Xie family didn't dare to think about her anymore.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at her appearance of losing a lot of weight scared the Xie family.

They didn't know the inside story of Liu Ruolan's going to Fucheng to find a famous doctor, they only thought that what Xie's family did this time hurt her heart and made her lose hope in her in-law's family, that's why she really fell ill.

Xie Rongzhao also went back to Xie's house together.

Sister-in-law Wang still took care of Liu Ruolan and Xie Rongzhao as before, Grandma Xie didn't dare to order her to do things anymore, for fear that they would bring up the old things again.

Because Xie's elders and the head of the house are guilty, it can make Xie Rongzhao live a peaceful life for a while.

Besides, Xie Xiuwen and his party finally rushed back to Fucheng in July.

They traveled abroad for half a year, and they really saw a lot.

Wang Hanlin mainly replaced Xu Shanzhang to guide them. Xie Xiuwen had a high level of comprehension, and he often only needed a few words from Wang Hanlin to understand the truth.

Wang Jin's comprehension is a bit weaker, but this trip has also benefited him a lot, and he should be able to gain more insights when he writes strategies and theories.

When several people returned to the academy, they were first asked by Xu Shanzhang to write three policy papers and hand them in. After that, he called them over one by one for questioning and guidance.

Wang Hanlin had no plans to become an official. He was a Jinshi of the last subject and took on a vain job. After that, the emperor ordered him to compile classics with Xu Yuanqing for the use of scholars.

Wang Hanlin had no intention of becoming an official in the imperial court, and at first he wanted to take the imperial examination, but he just wanted to not lose the name of the Wang family.

Later, he devoted himself to academics, and he just wanted to read all the classics in the world.

After several people returned, Xiezhou was a little at a loss.

He was sent to this uncle by his grandfather at the beginning, mainly because he wanted to get his advice and study hard.

Of course, he was on a study tour before, so his main duty was to take good care of his cousin.

Fortunately, Grandpa's confession was not insulted. Xie Xiuwen didn't cough once in the past six months, which reassured the family.

"Uncle, Qiu Wei is coming soon, I will return to my hometown after Uncle finishes the exam."

Xie Xiuwen smiled: "What's the rush, don't you want to come to Beijing with me next year to have a look?"

Xie Zhou's eyes lit up instantly: "Uncle?"

"Your articles have improved a lot compared to before. You just want to be a scholar, but you are still not good enough. You are still young, so don't be impatient. Take the few books on the table and read them. I will test you later. "

"Yes, Uncle. Thank you, Uncle."

Xie Zhou knew that his cousin was willing to cultivate him, and he thought that he would have the opportunity to honor his ancestors in the future.

Now that he has returned to the academy, Xie Xiuwen let Xie Zhou study with peace of mind. Anyway, the house here is enough to live in, but because of his status, Xie Zhou can't go to the school to attend lectures, let alone go to the library to check.

Douzi is still responsible for taking care of his daily life, thinking that Xiezhou helped him a lot before, so now that he is back, he simply takes care of all the work, so that Xiezhou can also calm down and work hard.

When Fan Xing learned that Xie Xiuwen and Wang Hanlin went on a study tour together, the dissatisfaction in his heart could be said to have reached its peak.

In his opinion, Xie Xiuwen is just a down-and-out scholar, and he lost his place in the last scientific examination because he fainted in the examination room, which shows that he is not up to date.I don't know why Xu Shanchang fell in love with him!
Although Fan Xing said that he was not convinced and felt that Xie Xiuwen had no real skills, but he was really on guard in his heart.

He wanted to find an opportunity to rectify Xie Xiuwen, but he never succeeded.

Now that Qiu Wei is approaching, the control in the academy has become stricter, and Fan Xing couldn't find a chance for a while, so he could only scold secretly.

Wang Jin was originally from Fucheng, so he had already made plans for this township examination.

"Zicheng, I've made an agreement with my family. When you live with me, it's still like we are in the academy. You can still discuss things with each other, so you don't have to refuse any more."

Xie Xiuwen originally planned to let Dou Zi go to book an inn, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Wang Jin.

"Brother Wang, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient."

Wang Jin didn't take it seriously: "What's the inconvenience? You don't regard me as a bosom friend?"

Xie Xiuwen choked, how could he answer this?
"Brother Wang, what you said is wronging my little brother. Anyway, since Brother Wang sincerely invites you, brother Yu will be disrespectful."

Wang Jin immediately raised his smiling face: "That's right! Let me tell you, my house is not far from the examination room. And the cook in my house is good at cooking, no worse than the ones in restaurants."

The two chatted and laughed, and decided on Xie Xiuwen's residence during the rural examination.

Mingshan Academy is located in Mingshan, not close to the examination room. If you take a carriage, it will probably take nearly two hours.

But all students who want to take the rural examination will book an inn in Fucheng in advance, or rent a small courtyard.

Seeing Qiu Wei approaching, the inn's business is booming, and the yards in good locations have already been rented out.

Xie Xiuwen was grateful for Wang Jin's kindness, but at the same time, he was somewhat vigilant, not against Wang Jin, but against every unexpected accident.

"My lord, someone came from the foot of the mountain and said that the old lady arranged to come and take care of you."

Xie Xiuwen frowned: "Do you recognize it?"

"I don't recognize it, and the accent doesn't sound like someone from Gaoyang County."

"Then don't worry about it."

Xie Zhou also appeared at the door at this time: "Uncle, since it was arranged by Grandma, it's not appropriate for you to ignore it."

Xie Xiuwen frowned, he really couldn't believe that mother.

"How about this, I'll go down the mountain to find a family first, and temporarily settle the person, and then you go to catch the exam later, and you don't need to let these two know."

When Xie Xiuwen thought of his previous two defeats, he was somewhat persuaded.

"Then it's hard work for Azhou. You just tell them to live at the foot of the mountain for half a month. There are rules in the academy and they are not allowed to enroll. Wait until the day before my township exam to go down the mountain to meet them."

"Yes, Uncle."

It was a young couple who came, and Xie Zhou felt that the two of them were unreliable just after meeting each other.

"That man looked a bit sly, and the little lady looked a bit unscrupulous."

Xie Zhou probably understood in his heart at this moment, this is not here to take care of Tang Shu, it is clearly here to harm Tang Shu!
"Well, just ignore it. Douzi remembers to go down the mountain every day, and if he finds any movement between the two of them, he will write it down first."

"Yes, son."

As the exam was approaching, Xie Zhou went down the mountain to tell the couple that they would leave at the time of tomorrow and they would not miss the next day's rural exam.

But later that day, after taking a nap with Xie Xiuwen and Wang Jin, they went directly down the mountain into the city.
