Chapter 222 The Children's Exam Starts
The old man was crying on the table, and many people looked at him. They looked at the old man like a poor old man who had been abandoned.But those who looked at Yi Xue were disgusted and contemptuous.

Yi Xue regretted it, why did she come up to answer, how could this old man be as virtuous as Xu Lei, no, how could Xu Lei be as virtuous as this old man.For a while, Yi Xue didn't say anything, she was not familiar with the old man, although she knew some things about the old man, but this can't be used as talk.

Suddenly the old man raised his head and asked aggrievedly, "Why don't you comfort me?"

Yi Xue rolled her eyes, we did it for no reason, why should I comfort you, but for Xu Lei's sake, Yi Xue didn't argue, and said, "Are you feeling bad?"

"Well, it's hard"

"Is it better after crying?"

"not good"

"Oh, I'm leaving then"

"What will I do if you leave?" The old man looked at Yi Xue pitifully.

Yi Xue is really depressed, you are not my grandfather, can I control you?
"Keep crying," Yi Xue said.

"..."

Yi Xue got up and was about to leave.

"You girl, you don't have any sympathy at all. Didn't you see the old man crying so sadly?" The old man stared and said indignantly.

Yi Xue was dumbfounded, and asked helplessly, "Then what do you want me to do?"

"Give me a jug of good wine, a spare ribs, by the way, less salt, are you the one who treats me?" said the old man.

"En, Tianji, serve the old man..." Yixue couldn't take it anymore, she hurriedly called Tianji, then turned around and walked away pretending to go to work.

Tianji asked someone to bring the food and drinks over, and he ran up to Yi Xue, "Miss, are you okay, the old guy has a problem, he has been here many times, every meal is too expensive, and every time he eats it is too expensive." Not enough money”

Yi Xue frowned, "Didn't you give enough money every time?"

Tianji blushed and said embarrassingly, "Yes, Miss, every time he finished eating he would cry poorly. We had no choice but to keep the account for him in the end. Look, he already owes 70 taels of silver."

Yi Xue looked at Tianji and the very detailed account, and said, "When he comes in the future, he can give as much as he can, and don't ask for more."

Tianji didn't know what Yi Xue meant, so he said immediately, "I'm afraid it's not good to eat and drink for free like this. If others follow suit, our restaurant won't be able to keep going."

Yi Xue raised her brows and said, "Didn't he give the money? Do as I said, and if others say it, we will be kicked out. We don't give credit to anyone except him."

Seeing Yi Xue's solemn words, Tianji nodded again and again, "Yes, miss."

Yi Xue smiled in her heart, old man, you eat so well, the Killer League will owe me more in the future, hehe, this business is sure to make a profit.La la la, la la la.She hummed a little song and went out, and then let the old man rush home.

The days passed day by day, and the year was over, and the festive atmosphere slowly faded away.Yi Xue goes to the greenhouse every day to have a look, and then inspects the carbon field. These are all in place, and even if Yi Xue is not around in the future, it will not be a big deal.

Although everything has stabilized, the atmosphere at home is very dull, and Yi Xue also feels congested.She knew that the reason was that her father was coming soon.When Yao Si will come, no one knows, only say that it will be in the year after the year, whether it will be a day or two, or spring...

This uncomfortable feeling is not only felt by Yi Xue, but also by Xiaojun and Erya, who are listless all day long.Even if Yi Xue explained the truth to Xiao Jun, but Yi Xue herself felt flustered, so how could she ask Xiao Jun to be as calm as Mount Tai, without changing his face?

On this day, Wang Yin called Yi Xue and Xiaojun away.

Wang Yin said with a smile, "It's about to be a child's exam, and the time is set in ten days. Tomorrow, Xiaojun will go to the county government to register. For the next ten days, don't go anywhere, and study with me at ease."

Yi Xue was very happy when she heard Wang Yin say that the children's exams, and finally someone in the family can take the imperial exams, which means that the Zhang family will also enter the officialdom in the future and be able to improve their status.With a nervous face, Xiaojun asked tentatively, "Sir, I don't know if I can survive?"

Wang Yin smiled lightly and said, "Don't force it, just put your heart into it."

Wang Yin didn't give Xiaojun a clear answer, which made him look at Yi Xue even more uneasy.Yi Xue smiled and said, "What Mr. Wang said is that Tongsheng is just the first step. You are still young and you will have a chance to take the Tongsheng exam in the future, so don't be nervous, study hard and don't worry about anything else."

Xiaojun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Yi Xue's words, and said, "Mr. Wang, sister, I understand, I can do it."

Back in Zhang's house, Yi Xue told her the news that Xiaojun was going to take the children's test, Zhang's face was pleasantly surprised, "Xiaojun is going to take the test too, it's great, our family can produce a scholar in the future .Xiaojun, you have to study hard with Mr. Wang, and don’t be negligent.”

Xiaojun nodded, stood straight and said, "Mom, I know, I will pay attention to it."

"Hey, Xiaojun has grown so big in a blink of an eye, and his stature is much higher than last year. Hehe, Xiaojun will be eleven in the spring, and the days go by quickly," Zhang said with a smile.

Early the next morning, Yi Xue wanted to accompany Xiaojun to sign up, but Xiaojun resolutely refused, saying, "Sister, I'm already this old, I can handle my own affairs by myself, so don't worry about it, let Jin Si Just go with me."

Seeing Xiaojun's expression, Yi Xue was very happy, but also a little worried.Mrs. Zhang said from the side, "Well, after you go, sign up. Don't go to Uncle Wen's side. There are too many people talking, so don't let people gossip about you and Uncle Wen."

Mrs. Zhang is indeed thoughtful, and Yi Xue also thinks so.

On the same day, Xiaojun signed up and came back. It went very smoothly, and the registration was completed.

Time passed faster and faster, and Yi Xue's family waited anxiously. What they were anxious about was why Yaosi hadn't come back. It wasn't that they expected to come back, but that they didn't know what they should do after they came back.Yi Xue sometimes finds it ridiculous that other families are looking forward to their parents' return, but they are afraid of their father's return.This weird situation is probably their home.

Before Yaosi came back, they waited for Xiaojun's child test, and Wang Yin was already waiting early in the morning.

"You don't need to prepare too much, you just need to prepare paper, ink, brush and inkstone, and a change of clothes. Now there is still an hour and a half before the exam, so it's completely in time," Wang Yin said with a smile.

Mrs. Zhang looked at Xiaojun, checked it up and down again, then took the package and handed it to Jin Si, "Take good care of the young master, be careful along the way."

After Tianyi left, he had no choice but to arrange for the younger Jin Si to be a bookboy.

Jin Si is very smart and eager to learn, so Yi Xue immediately took a fancy to him.

Jin Si took the package and carried it on his back, and said to Mrs. Zhang, "Madam, don't worry, I will take good care of the young master."

"Mr. Wang, are you going too?" Yi Xue asked Wang Yin curiously.As for the entrance examination for children, although Yi Xue didn't know the rules very well, she also understood that it was like the entrance examination for primary school students in her previous life, and she didn't think it was necessary for Wang Yin to go.

Wang Yin smiled, "I went to the county to visit some friends. Yesterday a friend said that someone recommended him to teach painting to Zhixue, so I just helped you."

Yi Xue was overjoyed when she heard that, the teacher Wen Ruonan found for Sanya has not been found so far, and she thought Wen Ruonan had forgotten about it, but she didn't expect that it was because that person was reluctant.What a coincidence, unexpectedly he and Wang Yin met, it was easy to handle.

"Then thank you sir, and please invite this gentleman back," Yi Xue said happily.

Wang Yin smiled, and then said, "Can you please come back, I'm not sure, that guy's temper is as bad as shit in a latrine, if I can't be kicked out of my house by him, I'm halfway there."

Yi Xue was stunned, it was the first time she had heard Wang Yin swearing, it seemed that that person was indeed not an ordinary person, and his temper was not very good, if so, whether it was necessary to invite him became a problem.Don't fail to teach Sanya, but instead leave a shadow in Sanya's heart, it would be bad.

Seeing that Yixue was a bit discouraged, Wang Yin said with a smile, "Although this person has a bad temper, he is upright and a bit rebellious. You don't have to worry that he will spoil Zhixue."

Yi Xue blushed, and said awkwardly, "Hehe, then sir, please take care of yourself."

Since Wang Yin said so, it means that this person can associate with him. Judging from Wang Yin's behavior, the person he associates with must not be an ordinary person.

When Wang Yin and Xiaojun were on the road together, Zhang Shi and Yi Xue felt a little flustered. They didn't know if they were afraid that Xiaojun would fail the exam, or something else, just inexplicable anxiety.

"Yixue, do you think Xiaojun will pass the exam?" Mrs. Zhang didn't care about making a front line, and kept groping, not knowing what to touch.

Yixue burst out laughing, and said, "Mother, why are you in such a hurry, anyway, I'll find out in a few days, when Xiaojun comes back in the afternoon, you can also ask how the exam is going, you're fumbling around like this, where are you going?" what are you doing"

Mrs. Zhang opened the felt mat and said, "I'm looking for the Wenquxing I cut last night. I don't know where I put it. Yixue, help me find it. Let's confess it quickly. Maybe it will be very effective."

Yixue had no choice but to look for it with Mrs. Zhang, while comforting her mother, "Mother, Xiaojun's age is quite young, and he can't find many of them even in his age group. He still has several years of chance to take the children's exam." , don’t worry, you won’t pass the exam this year, you will pass the exam next year, Mr. Wang Yin also said, Xiaojun is smart and quick to learn, he will definitely pass the exam.”

Mrs. Zhang stopped and sighed, "I don't know why, when it comes to becoming an official, sometimes I feel scared, but sometimes I feel that I have to pass the exam."

Yi Xue thought about her mother's words. Although it was contradictory, it also expressed her mother's suffering for so many years. Maybe she hoped that Xiaojun would pass the exam.The fear of becoming an official may be due to the experience of the past, and she is afraid of it happening again. This fear is deeply buried in her heart.But she hopes to pass the exam, that is to say, she has a kind of expectation that she can revive the prosperity of the Zhang family back then, maybe she doesn't even know this.

But mother also forgot, this is no longer the Zhang family, although we all call ourselves the Zhang family, but in reality, this is the Wang family, the Wang Yao family.

Everything has passed, but my mother has not forgotten the pain of that year...
