Poor family mother and son

Chapter 231

Xiaobao took the test in front of everyone in the main hall.

Everyone at home, including Gan Lai and Huang Rong, were the invigilators.

It didn't take long for Xiaobao to complete the answer sheet.

For those who need to memorize by rote, just recite it directly in front of You Zhenghang and the others, speaking is faster than writing.

Only the essay part is a bit time-consuming.

But Xiaobao just write it out with a pen, because what You Zhenghang wants to prove is his level of knowledge, and whether the scroll is clean or not is not included.

The questions in the Daxuanyuan Examination are not too difficult, so there is one more essay than the Tong’s Examination.

Children's examinations require memorization and silence, and then have certain opinions; college examinations require not only memorization and silence, but also written opinions within the norms.

Xiaobao doesn't care about being a scholar, because the usual conversations with his mother are enough for him to write essays.

You Zhenghang also felt that this exam went very well, and got a good score of No.2.

But he knew in his heart that some of the content in the policy article referred to Xiaobao's travel notes, and some measures he heard from his father about improving the income of the people in the county. Half of these measures were provided by Xiaobao's mother.

In other words, his No.2 is half of Xiaobao's.

But he still didn't give up. He wanted to witness Xiaobao's knowledge with his own eyes, and he was unwilling to admit that this "child prodigy" who was enlightened by an academician since childhood was not as good as a child taught by a peasant woman.

If it's really not as good, then...

"Lord Chu! Please accept me as a student! I want to learn from you!" You Zhenghang blushed, but his voice was not low, and he was about to kneel down as he spoke.

Zhuo Yao took a step forward, put his hands under his armpits and lifted him up: "Speak well, your waist won't hurt when you stand and talk!"

You Zhenghang didn't realize that it wasn't Xiaobao who was really dissatisfied in his heart, but the person who taught Xiaobao.

Because if he admits it, it means that his grandfather and his parents are not as knowledgeable as a peasant woman.

This is emotionally unacceptable to him.

But the reality is so cruel, so he wants to worship Chu Qing as his teacher, and he needs to thoroughly understand what is so good about Chu Qing's education.

It is said that the strong are respected, and this is true among warriors, but it is also true among literati, but literati are not as quick to admit it as warriors.

Chu Qing was a little at a loss: "You... that... Xiaobao... that, no, I said Zhenghang, I have never been a teacher, and I have no knowledge, what stimulated you?
Besides, you have lived in my house for more than half a month, and you know how we get along on weekdays, didn't you see me and didn't take care of Xiaobao much. "

You Zhenghang doesn't believe it, at least he needs to know how Chu Qing gave Xiao Bao a bad treatment, maybe even hired a teacher for him.

Seeing the expression of "Your family has a secret" on the child's face, Chu Qing had no choice but to say, "Since you passed the exam, come here to relax, and it happens to be a company with Xiaobao, so we can have fun."

You Zhenghang stayed like this.

Xiao Bao curled his lips when he saw it: "Don't stay in the same room with me! You are a girl and a servant, you are disabled and need someone to take care of you?"

You Zhenghang: "Who will help me organize my clothes without a girl! Could it be that you just..." Then I couldn't continue, Xiaobao really didn't need it.

The last time he came, he brought a servant with him, and he was isolated by everyone.They all stayed away from him, as if he was so strange.

"Don't you have servants in your family?" You Zhenghang was not convinced, "Aren't there also in your mother's house?"

What I didn't say in my throat was "Then your mother is also disabled?"

Without Xiaobao's answer, Huang Rong and Chu Qing were picking cotton seeds together, and there were sacks all around them, all of which were cotton seeds.

Huang Zhong was wearing the same gray cloth jacket as Master Lu, and he and Master Lu were measuring a large rock with a chisel at each end, and there were no servants around to wait on them.

Mu Nianci carried a stack of account books to organize and check.

Dismissing the boy and the girl, You Zhenghang said, "For the sake of a load of presents that I brought you, are you so shy that you don't want me to live in your house?"

Since then, Xiaobao has had an extra "follower".

………………

One day in mid-September, Bai Hua and Wei Chengyi came, each carrying a small burden.

Chu Qing invited them to the main hall and asked, "Why are you here?"

Bai Hua threw away the baggage casually: "Find me a room, we two brothers will live in your house for a while!"

Chu Qing: "Huh?"

Wei Chengyi felt that this was not good: "Master Bai, pay attention to your wording."

Bai Hua: "Watch out! She's already 'beautiful and filial', who can say anything? Mrs. Huang also lives here with her!"

Chu Qing: "Who are you angry with? The anger is quite high! Nianci, serve a pot of Coptis chinensis and lower the fire!"

Bai Hua: "Don't! I'm afraid of you! Wei Chengyi and I have been suspended, so we have no place to live. Please make room for me!"

Chu Qing: "Cheng Yi, Bai Hua and I have no common language, tell me, what happened?"

Wei Chengyi: "That's right, because the last time Xiaobao was assassinated, it led to the news that the old Donglun princess was absconding. It has been more than a year now, and she has not been arrested. The superiors said that we were negligent in our duties..."

Xiaobao, who had already stepped on the threshold with one foot, withdrew his foot with a "shua", turned around and left.

Bai Hua: "Stop!"

Xiaobao: "No! I'm not a crow's mouth!"

Wei Chengyi continued: "The acting officials have arrived, and Mr. Wu will come over in person within a few days."

Chu Qing asked: "Boss? Who is the boss, Mr. Hu? Isn't this case handed over to Song Tingshan? You shouldn't be held accountable!"

Bai Hua: "Xiaobao is still right. I didn't notice that there was a princess missing at the beginning, so it was our fault!"

Wei Chengyi: "You can't say that. At that time, this area was under the jurisdiction of Jizhou, and we were not spies guarding this area."

Bai Hua: "How could they not know about the situation at that time? This is deliberately finding fault! Why don't I take the blame and let them trouble Jiang Fuqianhu?"

It was only after the National War that the Directorate of the Secret Investigation Department in New Lunzhou was established. Before that, the Jizhou Directorate had been infiltrating spies in the Eastern Lun Kingdom.

Chu Qing asked, "Who is the acting official?"

Bai Hua said, "You know him!"

Chu Qing: "The one surnamed Han?"

Bai Hua: "Hmph, that's him!"

Chu Qing: "Hehe, this is interesting, maybe it's for whom."

Wei Chengyi looked at Chu Qing, then at Bai Hua: "It's not at me anyway."

For the first time, Chu Qing had the urge to cooperate with Bai Hua: he wanted to beat Wei Chengyi.

Xiaobao came in with a basin of fruit. There were apples, oranges, autumn pears, and pomegranates in the basin, which were put in a vegetable washing basin.

Bai Hua grabbed an autumn pear and gnawed on it: "I have to beat the fire! Hey, why do you carry such a big basin, the basin for washing your feet?"

Wei Chengyi took down the apple that was brought to his mouth.

Xiaobao: "Yes, my footbath!"

Huang Rong came in with a stack of exquisite fruit plates: "Xiao Bao, why did you bring them here without dividing the plates? Zhao Min is scolding in the kitchen, saying that some unscrupulous thief dared to steal into the Chu residence!"

"Chapai Grand Lady" Zhao Min was in charge of Chuqing's kitchen. She had just washed the fruit, and when she turned around, a bowl of fruit disappeared.

Wei Chengyi took a bite of the apple: It's so crispy!
Chu Qing picked up an orange and peeled it unhurriedly, the autumn pear in Bai Hua's hand only had a core left: "Look at you calm down, why don't you watch the fun? They came after you!"

Xiaobao interjected: "That's not necessarily the case, the old man will do the math for you!"

As he spoke, imitating Huang Zhong's way of stroking his beard, his right hand gestured between his chin and chest, while the thumb of his left hand moved quickly on the joints of the other four fingers.

Wei Chengyi: "Slow down, there are afterimages!"

Chu Qing: "..."

Bai Hua: "..."

After a while, Xiaobao stopped moving: "Old man counts, Bai Hua, you are in a bloodbath!"

cough cough!Wei Chengyi was stuck in the throat by an apple.
