Chapter 48
Wang Xiucai and the others saw that the scheme had succeeded, turned around and left Zheng's house proudly, but why did they feel that their bodies were numb and itchy, and their whole body was getting more and more scratchy?
After watching the five people twist their bodies and leave in strange postures, Zheng Dongyang looked down at his little disciple.

"Xiaozhao, do you really want to take the county examination this year?"

"Yes, sir."

"Do you know that the county examination is the first step for students from all walks of life to step into the road of scientific examination? After taking this step, you have to immerse yourself in the sea of ​​learning, and you must not slack off."

"Students know."

Seeing the resolute expression on Xiaozhao's little face, Zheng Dongyang nodded in praise and said, "Okay, you are indeed my Zheng Dongyang's student, with ambition! Then we are going to go to the government office to register immediately, and we will start preparing for the county examination starting tomorrow."

On the same day, under Zheng Dongyang's suggestion, Xiaoruo prepared the application materials such as personal confession and affidavit, and rushed to the ceremony room of the county office to register for Xiaozhao.

For the next fifteen days, Xiao Zhao stayed at Zheng Dongyang's house almost every night, and Xiao Ruo and Xiao Niao delivered the daily change of clothes and three meals a day.

The two turned on the lamp to read at night, and explained in detail the content of the five county examinations. In fifteen days, Xiaozhao's chubby face faded a lot, which made Xiaoruo feel distressed.

What was even more dangerous was that in the few days of the county examination, after five consecutive examinations, Xiaozhao's feet were soft when he left the examination room, and he was almost carried back to the Tzu Chi Hall by Xiaoruo.

Fortunately, Xiaozhao worked hard at ordinary times, and he was familiar with the Shiwen, Poems, Confucianism, Parallel Prose, etc. that were to be taken in the county examination. Xiaozhao's name was impressively at the top of the twenty names on the day the county examination was released. It is the county case of this county examination!
As for Wang Xiucai's four students, only Ziqi persisted until the last round and was not selected, and he happened to be stuck in No. 20.

Looking at the official notice, Wang Xiucai's face was distorted.His face had been scratched by himself before, bloodstains were intertwined, and it was forming a scar, and the scar split open again in a fit of anger, yellow pus and red blood flowed all over his face, frightening the children passing by and crying.

The boy from Tzu Chi Hall was the county's first case this year. The news spread throughout Shangxi Township. Zhao Qiankun, the county magistrate, personally interviewed Xiao Zhao. He asked a few questions and Xiaozhao answered them fluently. A catty of fat meat, once corn.

Zheng Dongyang is even more happy to see his teeth but not his eyes. He is the head of the county case, and now everyone who meets him will respectfully call him Mr., and no one will make fun of his childhood name.

Ten catties of fat meat and corn, added a few baskets of seasonal vegetables, and asked the town chef to make various dishes. Xiaoruo distributed the extra vegetables to the neighbors, and kept only three meat and two vegetables, and the whole family was tidy. Qi Di brought food and wine to Zheng Dongyang's house to celebrate.

Only then did the scene where Xiaoxun returned home was empty.

Talking while eating and drinking, Xiaoruo finished explaining the ins and outs, Zheng Dongyang and old man Cen were also very drunk, lying in bed and sleeping soundly.

It was getting late, Xiaoruo decided that everyone should simply spend the night at Zheng Dongyang's house. During this time, Xiaozhao stayed here every night, and Xiaoruo had moved a lot of household things here before she knew it. Zheng Dongyang's house was no longer what it was at first. That's a waste of money.

After settling down the two old men who were drunk, and coaxing Xiaoyou Xiaozhao to sleep, Xiaoxun had the opportunity to spend time with Xiaoruo.

The night in early autumn has completely receded from the heat of the day, and the evening breeze brings a refreshing coolness.

Sitting under the eaves, Xiaoruo took a deep breath, enjoying the cool breeze filling her body and taking away the little smell of alcohol.

She didn't drink, but old man Cen and Zheng Dongyang drank all afternoon, the room was filled with the mellow aroma of fermented grain wine, which made her a little groggy.

Sitting next to her, Xiao Xun tilted his head to look at the rosy face of the girl beside him.It's only been a month since they separated, but he feels as if he hasn't seen Xiaoruo for a long, long time, and now he can't get enough of it.

"Silly dog, why do you keep staring at me?" Xiaoruo smiled, her almond eyes curved into two crescent moons. "Did your dart run go well? Did you encounter any danger?"

Xiaoxun told Xiaoruo interesting things about their journey of darts, saying that he was seasick and vomited, that Ma Laosan was a madman who loved his sister, and that the boatman by the river could sing loudly. , also talked about the beautiful scenery and exotic flora and fauna of southern Yunnan.

As he spoke, he took out the medicine sachet from his pocket and handed it to Xiaoruo.

"I bought this from a peddler in southern Yunnan, and it's for you."

Other people's gifts were packed in packages, and he threw them on the table in the Tzu Chi Hall, and he kept this medicine sachet close to his body all the time.

The medicine sachet still carried his body temperature.

Xiaoruo took the sachet and sniffed it, the strange scent of medicine and flowers was mixed, and it also smelled like a puppy.

She smiled, accepted it generously and said, "Then thank you puppy."

Putting the sachet in the sleeve, Xiao Ruo stretched her waist, she felt extremely relaxed and happy now.

Xiaozhao won the case, Xiaoyou is healthy and lively, and the puppy she picked up will bring her gifts home after going out. She feels that she has lived up to the entrustment of Xiao's parents, and it is reasonable to take care of everyone in Xiao's family.

"Hey Axun, did you remember anything during this trip?" She turned around and asked.

One of Xiaoxun's reasons for going to the bodyguard at that time was to see if he could recall some of the past by getting in touch with more people and things.

Xiao Xun shook his head, he didn't recall anything.

Xiaoruo rubbed her chin and thought about it: "I think maybe I should go to a third-class hospital..."

"A third-class hospital?" Xiao Xun was puzzled, what kind of place is this?
"Oh, it's the big medical clinic in the state capital." Xiaoruo explained: "The economy in the state capital is more developed, and the medicinal materials and doctor's medical skills in the medical center there may be better."

Xiao Xun nodded, what Xiao Ruo said made sense.

"Well, when the old men wake up tomorrow, we will discuss it and see when we can go to the state capital to find a big medical clinic for you to see." Xiaoruo clapped her hands and finalized the proposal.

The next day, the two old men who drank too much slept until they were exposed to the sun before slowly waking up. They grinned and drank Xiaoruo's hangover soup before they felt better.

"I told you to drink less, but I didn't listen, and I didn't think about how old you two are." Xiaoruo pretended to mutter, and served the two egg custard to nourish their stomachs.

It's good that Xiaoxun is back, and I can eat smooth and tender custard, unlike her cooking, which is a whole bowl of briquettes.

"Grandpa Cen, Grandpa Zheng, you have to listen to my sister!" Xiaoyou stuffed a spoonful of custard into her mouth, vaguely helping the elder sister.

"Hey, okay, I will definitely not drink so much next time..." Old man Cen was taught with an open mind, and he listened to what the girl said most.

"By the way, old man, I want to take Axun to the state capital in a few days. When the time comes, Senior Zheng will move to the Tzu Chi Hall to live with you. You two, old and young, can take care of each other." Xiao Xiao Ruo Road.

"To the state capital?" Zheng Dongyang looked up at Xiaoruo.

"Yes, Axun didn't think of anything this trip. I want to take him to the state capital to find a bigger medical clinic."

"Well... I have a suggestion." Zheng Dongyang put down his chopsticks, and said solemnly: "Xiao Zhao has passed the county exam now. According to the regulations, he can take the Qinzhou prefectural exam in April next year. The prefectural exam is no different than the county exam, but the school exam. I suggest that Xiaozhao should go to a private school in Qinzhou Prefecture to study, the master there understands the requirements of the government examination better, which will be more beneficial to his future scientific examinations.”

Xiaoruo stopped picking up vegetables and began to think.

As a higher-level scientific examination of the county examination, the government examination is more competitive, and the content of the examination is bound to be more difficult.Although Xiaozhao is still young, the government examination is held twice every three years. If he misses the opportunity next year, he will not be able to participate again until a year later.After the government exam, there is the college exam, and after the college exam, there is the rural exam. It will only become more and more difficult to go up. If you only study in a small town, it is definitely not enough. You have to go to a big state capital, which is better. private school.

Thinking of this, Xiaoruo hesitated, Zhaozhao is still so young, she must be worried about asking him to go to the state capital to study alone.

As if seeing through Xiaoruo's thoughts, Zheng Dongyang said, "I think it's better to take this opportunity and you go directly to the state capital to settle down. It can not only treat Axun's illness, but also facilitate Xiaozhao's study."

move place?Xiaoruo never thought of this plan.
