You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 231 Less trouble
After listening to Xiao Yingzi's words, Shi Zelan thought about it and shook his head at her.

Xiao Yingzi looked at Shi Zelan and said with envy: "Xiao Lanzi, you are so lucky."

Shi Zelan nodded in agreement, and they went to the river to clean the herbs, then returned to the foot of the mountain to continue pulling out the herbs.

In the evening of this day, they returned home with a full load.

In the evening, Xiao Yingzi and Aunt Liu said, "Auntie, can I worship Xiao Lanzi's master as my master?"

Aunt Liu looked at her: "Stop dreaming, others will not accept you as their apprentice. You don't have the spirituality of Xiao Lanzi."

"Auntie, you can't coax me."

"If I coax you, will others coax you?

Stop thinking about it and live your life with peace of mind. "

On the day when the imperial examination results were released, the neighbors met to see the results.

When Shi Zelan saw Xiao Yingzi again, her eyes were much calmer.

Shi Zelan looked at her: "Xiao Yingzi, are you working very hard these days?"

Xiao Yingzi shook his head: "No.

I just want to understand that everyone has his own destiny, and there is no need to force it at all. "

Shi Zelan smiled after hearing this. If their practitioners really believed in fate, they would not be able to continue practicing.

"Xiao Lanzi, don't you believe in fate?"

Shi Zelan thought about it seriously and said: "I heard people say that there is an arrangement somewhere, so I believe that good luck is destiny."

"Ah, you can still think like this."

Xiao Yingzi thought about Shi Zelan's words seriously and looked at her: "Xiao Lanzi, you are indeed what my mother-in-law said, you are a spiritual woman."

The place where the government released the results was crowded with people. Shi Zelan and Xiao Yingzi stood on the street corner proactively.

"Xiao Lanzi, do you think that brother will be on the list this time?"

'I think it's very promising. I heard that he studies very hard. "

"The official is here, let's make a way out."

The crowd dispersed, and Shi Zelan pulled Xiao Yingzi back a step.

"Xiao Yingzi, why didn't Xiao Qiuhua come out to see the results today?"

“There were too many people, and originally my mother-in-law didn’t allow me to come out to watch the fun.

I said I would be with you, so my mother-in-law allowed me to come out. "

Shi Zelan originally wanted to sit in a nearby teahouse, but when she passed by, she saw that the teahouse was full of scholars.

"Ah, I saw that the first place was the talented man from Jiangnan."

Shi Zelan and Xiao Yingzi listened carefully to what was going on in front of them. When they heard the family name, they hurried back.

When they arrived, the reporter happened to arrive at the house, and as soon as the fireworks were set off, the door of the house suddenly became lively.

When the family gave away Xiyin, Shi Zelan and Xiao Yingzi also stepped forward and took a handful in their hands.

The courtyard was full of people. Shi Zelan and Xiao Yingzi stood at the door of the courtyard and looked around. They quickly backed away.

When the two of them walked back, they happened to meet Xiao Qiuhua and the others. They asked happily: "Is that brother on the list?"

After Shi Zelan and Xiao Yingzi nodded, they all laughed: "In three years, no matter whose brother takes the imperial examination, we will still send them to the examination room?"

Xiao Yingzi glanced at them and just smiled and talked about the liveliness of that house.

After the two parties separated, she whispered to Shi Zelan: "Three years later, everyone's marriage will be settled.

Now they say they want to send their neighbor’s brothers to the imperial examination room. Will they be able to honor it then? "Shi Zelan glanced at her. These days, she hasn't heard anything wrong with the people next door.

However, Xiao Yingzi seemed to have become mature and realistic all of a sudden. When Shi Zelan saw the door of his yard, he smiled and said to Xiao Yingzi, "I'm in."

Shi Zelan did not invite Xiao Yingzi to sit in the yard, but Xiao Yingzi looked at Shi Zelan's back and remembered her mother's words.

"Xiaoyingzi, you are different from Xiaolanzi. She is more spiritual than you, and you are better off than her."

Xiao Yingzi did not dare to tell her mother-in-law that she actually envied Shi Zelan who followed her master around.

Shi Zelan knew about Xiao Yingzi's friendship with her, so he gradually retreated.

When Xiao Qiuhua passed by the door of her yard, she would casually call out: "Xiao Lanzi, do you want to go to the well to wash clothes?"

"I won't go. I got up early and took a shower."

Shi Zelan walked out of the courtyard door and saw Xiao Qiuhua carrying a basket of dirty clothes: "Aren't there many people at the well at this time?"

"There are so many. I just wanted to chat with everyone while doing laundry."

Shi Zelan watched Xiao Qiuhua walk away with a happy expression at the door of the yard. She returned to the yard and said to Shi Xiaoliu: "That house seems to have only been busy for two days."

"Those who are on the list will also take part in the palace examination."

"Xiao Liu, should we go to the teahouse to hear the news?"

Shi Xiaoliu looked at the expression on Shi Zelan's face, thought for a moment and said, "Let's go tomorrow. It should be too late at this hour."

The next day, the brother, sister and Xia Yu went to the teahouse. As expected, there were many scholars in the teahouse. Everyone was wondering whether they would be ranked first on the list and whether they would be the number one scholar after the imperial examination.

"We went to see Huiyuan, and it turned out that the bodies of the scholars from the south of the Yangtze River were not as strong as those from the north."

"Little girls like the appearance of Jiangnan talents."

Shi Xiaoliu glanced at Shi Zelan, saw the excitement in her eyes, and called her: "Do you want to go and see Huiyuan?"

Shi Zelan immediately shook his head: "I'm very busy, I don't have any free time."

The three of them sat in the teahouse for a while. They didn't hear any new news. Instead, they felt the sour smell of some scholars.

In the evening, they sat under the eaves and chatted, and Xia Yu felt something: "At this time, all the smart scholars are studying behind closed doors.

Only smart scholars would gather outside to discuss knowledge. "

"If scholars from other places who are listed on the list want to know the news about the government, they will also look for some safe places and will never act in a high-profile manner."

Shi Zelan listened to them talking about the news and glanced at Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, have your father and uncle sent you any news recently?"

"Yes, they will come back and stay for a day or two the day before the champion parade.

We, the champions, left the capital on the third or fourth day of our parade. "

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan exchanged glances. Xia Yu looked at the two of them and said, "Wanyu sent me a message that they encountered some trouble in the south."

"Are you going to the south to help?"

Xia Yu shook her head quickly: "I asked my uncle, and he said we don't need to go there.

Wanyu's troubles were all small things that her master could solve. "

"Wanyu is a very personable person. No matter where she goes, she leaves a deep impression on people."

Shi Zelan said with deep feeling, Xia Yu glanced at her: "Do you think this is a good thing to do?"

“It depends on people and things.

She is a little impulsive and a little tempered, but she is not vicious. "

Xia Yu looked at Shi Zelan and sighed, "I think you have a good temperament and will avoid a lot of troubles."
