It’s a good day today, the sun is shining brightly and the sky is blue. Cheng Xiaosi has had a lot of discomfort since arriving here last spring, but she likes this weather very much. She spends most of the year under the blue sky and white clouds. ,Fresh air.

After telling the old lady of the Yuan family, Cheng Xiaosi told Yuan Sijin about the bustle outside, "It's much livelier than a year ago, but I don't recommend you go shopping because it's crowded."

"The items sold are all common necessities, such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc. Only those who live at home should visit more."

Yuan Sijin naturally knew that it was busy outside, but she didn't go. Her mother didn't allow it, so she could only express regret.

A gust of wind rustled the pomegranate tree behind him. Hua Bao stood on the highest finger and chattered, saying that although he was already a city chicken, he still missed being at ease in the mountains. Cheng Xiaosi raised his head and gave It rolled its eyes and didn't know who it was that said it was a good time to be idle and enjoy a good meal in the wild.

Sha Gen'er didn't know when he learned to climb trees, so he squatted on a branch and looked up at the sky curiously.

Seeing birds flying across the sky at high speed, Cheng Xiaosi said that her third brother had given her a particularly beautiful kite. "It is made of feathers. It looks like a real kite when it flies into the sky. I will give it to little Cheng Qing to play with today." Come on, I’ll take you to see it.”

"Oh my God, is this true?"

Yuan Sijin was surprised and said, "On our spring outing last year, the girl from Wangge's house brought a huge falcon kite. It was made entirely of feathers. It surpassed everyone else's kites."

"I heard that it takes three months to make a kite like that. I must take a look today, no, I have to fly it myself."

"Everyone has an older brother. Why is your older brother so good?"

Cheng Xiaosi smiled and said, "Your brother is not bad either."

Yuan Sijin was very resentful, "It's not bad, but it also depends on who is right."

The two of them were chatting and laughing as they walked forward. They met Cheng Dachuan on the road. Cheng Dachuan looked overjoyed. Cheng Xiaosi couldn't help but asked curiously, "Is there something happy for my second uncle?"

"almost."

Mr. Cheng said cheerfully, "You picked it up earlier. Mr. Liu who you helped came to visit today to say thank you. I was about to go see him."

"Liu Muyun?"

"That's him. He was exhausted after the science exam. I heard he slept until yesterday afternoon and didn't wake up until yesterday afternoon."

It's a pity that her daughters are all betrothed, otherwise Liu Muyun would be a very good candidate. He was born in Zhou Zheng, with a righteous look on his face, neither humble nor overbearing. I heard that he even took the initiative to help with the work when he lived in the house they arranged. None of them have the airs of a scholar, and they are easy-going.

Mr. Cheng left quickly, and Yuan Sijin was curious, "Does your family also accept students?"

"Just one, and it has something to do with you and me."

Cheng Xiaosi told the whole story, and Yuan Sijin subconsciously concluded that Liu Muyun was a sanctimonious hypocrite who must have stepped on his fellow villagers to climb up the ladder. "I want to go see that person." In case the Cheng family Been cheated?

In the front yard, Liu Muyun had been waiting for a while. When he saw Mr. Cheng coming over, he stood up to greet him and bowed his head to the end. "Thank you for taking care of me. Jin Muyun has completed the scientific examination and I came here to express my gratitude to you."

He didn't come empty-handed today. He brought a basket of fruits. The basket of fruits used up the last money he had. Next, he would set up a stall to help people write letters, and also took over the job of copying books for Earn the money to pay for your return home.

Mr. Cheng saw the basket of fruits and guessed that given Liu Muyun's current situation, the basket of fruits was not cheap.

"Master Liu, please take a seat. You don't need to be polite. Our Shunyi Mansion has been deeply favored by the emperor. Everything should be done with the overall interests of the court in mind. Mr. Liu has been studying hard for many years. It would be a big mistake if he delayed his scientific examination because of a different place to stay." regret."

"If I don't know, that's fine. If you let me know, there's no reason to turn a blind eye."

"Young Master Liu, please stay here with peace of mind. When the results are released, if you are named on the list, my Cheng family will be in the favor of Young Master Liu."

Liu Muyun is very humble. He knows that the powerful families in Beijing are trying to win over students. Once the student accepts the kindness of a certain family, he will join the team. After joining the team, it will be easier to have help than to endure the hardship himself, but it is also extremely easy to be implicated. , it’s not that no one tried to win him over, he just didn’t want to get involved early, leaving himself with no way out.

But now that he has accepted the kindness of the Shunyi Mansion, he only needs to see what the Shunyi Mansion requires. Of course, the premise is that he is really on the list.

Although Cheng Dashan couldn't chat with Liu Muyun about knowledge and officialdom, he could talk about Liu Muyun's hometown and the customs. He had been to many places and was well-informed. Liu Muyun still followed him even though he was full of ink. As the pace continued, Liu Muyun was finally asked about his family background. He was not a child of a poor family. On the contrary, he had a well-reputed family background. Most of his ancestors were scholars and were quite famous in the local area, but they were not good at money. Just so generous.

There is a screen in the hall, and there is a side door behind the screen. Rich families all arrange it this way to facilitate those who have inconvenient roads and must be present to talk. At this moment, Cheng Xiaosi and Yuan Sijin were standing behind the screen and eavesdropping.

"Most of the students my father accepted were from poor families, and Shu Xiu was from a family that could barely make ends meet. If he met a good talent, my father would buy him books and pens. He always said that good talent was rare. Once he met him, Anyone who can help is one."

Cheng Dashan praised his father's righteousness and talked a lot. Yuan Sijin secretly moved to a position just in time to see Liu Muyun's face. After taking a look at Xu Shi, Liu Muyun noticed it and looked in her direction. , the frightened Yuan Sijing hurriedly retreated, and then pulled Cheng Xiaosi out of the door quietly. After walking far away, he exhaled, "Did he find me just now?"

"Maybe."

Cheng Xiaosi smiled and asked, "How about it? Do you see that he is a sanctimonious hypocrite?"

Yuan Sijin laughed dryly. What kind of hypocrite could be seen in her eyes?

Cheng Xiaosi blinked at her, "Why don't I help you keep an eye on it. If he reaches high school, go down to catch him and bring him back to be your groom."

"You're so mean."

Yuan Sijin stepped forward to scratch Cheng Xiaosi's itch, but Cheng Xiaosi ran away, saying, "Why are you so sorry? There will definitely be a lot of people going to rob him, and I have to send someone like my father." Only the big guys have a chance of winning, and let me tell you, it’s very difficult.”

Yuan Sijin's ears turned red with embarrassment, "Just stop here and see if I don't sew your mouth shut."

The yard was full of laughter from the two of them, which attracted a group of children who were playing kites. When Cheng Xiaosi saw that her feather kite was almost useless, she suddenly wailed, "My kite!!!"
