The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 185 Xiaoxi thinks too much (1)
Mu Jinxi remembered Mu Jinhua's affairs, and only then realized that he had been out for a long time, and he didn't come back until it was getting dark in the evening.

Mu Jinhua frowned slightly, and walked into her yard with her head down. When she was about to reach the door, she raised her head and saw her younger sister standing expressionlessly at the door, waiting for someone.

Seeing his younger sister, he was startled, and looked away reflexively at his younger sister's pair of eyes that seemed to see through everything, not seeing her frown following his movements.

Mu Jinxi's heart sank slightly when she saw her elder brother dodging her eyes.The eldest brother really has something to hide from them.

"Xiao Xi, why are you standing at the door? It's cold, be careful of catching a cold." Mu Jinhua said with a smile.

Mu Jinxi stared at Mu Jinhua without speaking.

Mu Jinhua smiled stiffly and said, "Xiao Xi, what are you doing looking at big brother? If we don't see each other for a day, don't you know big brother?"

Mu Jinxi still didn't speak, she only stared at Mu Jinhua until she was about to surrender, and then she suddenly showed a big smile and said, "Brother, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and the cold wind made my face stiff before you came back, are you Where did you go?"

"No, big brother, big brother just walked casually, didn't expect to go far, that's why he came back late." Mu Jinhua's eyes were a little vacillating, and she didn't dare to meet her sister's sharp gaze.

But Mu Jinxi didn't continue to ask, turned around and walked into the house, saying as she walked, "Brother, come in quickly, it's cold outside, and we can eat soon."

Seeing her sister turn around and leave, Mu Jinhua breathed a sigh of relief, touched her cheek and found it was a little moist.

Phew, he was scared to death, thinking that Xiaoxi knew something.

"Xiaohua, where did your child go today? You haven't seen anyone all day, and you haven't studied hard. It's almost time for the county exam. Why don't you take it easy!" Seeing her son, Mu Niangzi couldn't help nagging, her tone full of worry.

"Mother, I know, I have been studying seriously, you don't have to worry, I promise I will pass the exam this time." Mu Jinhua said in a soft voice.

Mu Niangzi glanced at her son, opened her mouth and hesitated to speak, a hint of helplessness and worry flashed in her eyes, but in the end she didn't say anything, just sighed lightly and turned into the kitchen.

Mu Jinhua pursed her lips, and sat down in a low mood, with her eyes downcast, she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Brother, don't blame mother, mother is also worried about you, and you haven't seen anyone all day today, so mother is inevitably a little..." Mu Jinxi explained.

"Xiaoxi, I don't blame my mother, I know my mother is doing it for my own good, and I'm about to go to the county for an exam..." Speaking of this, Mu Jinhua's eyes suddenly showed a trace of confusion and bewilderment.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Mu Jinxi noticed the confusion and confusion in his eyes.

Mu Jinhua blinked, then came back to her senses and shook her head, saying, "It's okay, it's just that my eldest brother failed the county test a few times, so I'm just a little worried."

Mu Jinxi said that she couldn't understand the elder brother's psychology.

But the ancient imperial examinations were the best choice for men to get ahead, especially in peaceful times.Scholars, farmers, businessmen, scholars are the first, and the status of scholars is also the highest. Even if you can only get a scholar in the end, it is a great thing.Didn't the eldest brother study for so many years just to gain fame?
It's just that she doesn't think her eldest brother is stupid, so why can't he always pass the exam?Mu Jinxi recalled that many people who took the college entrance examination or postgraduate entrance examination in the previous life seemed to be nervous because of the abnormality in the examination room, so they failed to pass the exam. Could it be that the elder brother was also too nervous?
