The peasant girl in Space is the group favorite

Chapter 399
"Brother Xiao, please stop being modest. If we and the rest of us hadn't relied on you to take care of us, I would have been like those students from poor families, relying on copying books to make a living." One of the scholars had a look on his face. Said with some gratitude.

"Brother Liu, we are all friends. My family is in business, and the conditions are naturally better than yours. It is right to lend a hand. There is no need to be so worried. We can usually discuss knowledge together, drink tea and chat, and Mingzhi will be better." I also feel that these trivial help are nothing." Xiao Mingming said.

After hearing these words from Xiao Mingzhi, the scholars felt even more grateful and moved.

"Master Xiao's benevolence and righteousness are really admirable." Uncle Xu also sighed.

"Uncle Xu, please stop praising Mingzhi so much. Compared to Brother Xu, these things about me are nothing at all." Xiao Mingzhi said.

While they were talking, the waiter brought tea and snacks.

"Master Xiao, please use it slowly."

Xiao Mingzhi nodded, picked up the white porcelain pot and gave everyone a cup. Finally, he poured the cup in front of him, took a sip, and continued:

"Brother Xu is going to the capital to take the exam, right?"

"Exactly." Xu Wenwu replied softly.

"I heard that there are many talented people this year. Does Brother Xu have any plans?" Xiao Mingzhi asked.

"Let's take it one step at a time. If there is someone who is worse than me, it will be a worthwhile trip." Xu Wenwu chuckled.

"Brother Xu, please don't belittle yourself. Just at Brother Xu's age, he can stand at the same level as those who have studied for ten years or more. It is amazing. What's more, every time Brother Xu He ranked first in the exams, which shows how talented Brother Xu is in reading, and we can't even match him."

Xiao Mingzhi said sincerely.

"Yes, what Brother Xiao said is true. We are several years older than Brother Xu. The highest thing we have now is just the title of scholar. That was gained by studying hard day and night. Brother Xu This trip to Beijing will definitely make you famous in one fell swoop, and we'll be waiting for the good news." The scholar surnamed Liu spoke in agreement.

Several other people also nodded at the same time, agreeing with this statement.

"Then I would like to borrow your good words. If Wenwu can live up to his expectations, I will invite you to my Xujia Village and I will definitely have a drink and talk with you." Xu Wenwu said.

"That's wonderful, then I'll wait and wait for the good news from Brother Xu." Xiao Mingzhi said.

Xu Wenwu nodded, and then said: "You are all older than me, why not just call me Wenwu."

Xiao Mingzhi smiled and said: "Although we are indeed older and younger, since ancient times, there has been no predecessor in learning, and the master is the teacher. Besides, it is reasonable for us to respectfully call Brother Xu a master of civil engineering! In this way, we have taken advantage of Brother Xu. .”

Xu Wenwu smiled, but did not dwell on this issue anymore, and just let them do it.

"I wonder when Brother Xu is going to leave for the capital?" Xiao Mingzhi asked.

"Tomorrow at noon." Xu Wenwu replied.

"In such a hurry? There is still a long time before the examination. Why not stay in Tianyou City for a few more days so that Mingzhi can treat his uncle and the others well." Xiao Mingzhi said regretfully.

"Brother Xiao has good intentions, and Wenwu understands it. It's just that we are new here and are not familiar with the environment in the capital, so we thought we could go there earlier so we could get familiar with it and get used to it," Xu Wenwu said.

"This makes sense. Anyway, Tianyou City is only two or three days away from the capital. If Brother Xu needs Mingzhi's help for something, he will send someone to deliver a letter. Mingzhi who can help will definitely help." Xiao Mingzhi said. "Thank you so much, Brother Xiao." Xu Wenwu said.

The few people chatted happily, Qibao didn't say much during the whole process. Listening to the conversation between the elder brother and Xiao Mingzhi, his eyes were observing the surroundings, and he secretly thought that the business of this tea house was not bad, and most of them were friends gathering to drink tea and chat.

Xiao Wu on the side couldn't listen to the frivolous words of his elder brother and Xiao Mingzhi, so he could only eat snacks and look around.

Seeing that it was getting later and later, Xu Wenwu was afraid that Qibao would get sleepy, so he said, "It's getting late. My sister is young and has been running around with us for a day, so Wenwu wanted to take her back to the inn to have an early rest."

Only then did Xiao Mingzhi notice the color of the sky, and there were even fewer pedestrians on the street than before. Only then did he realize that he had only been chatting and had forgotten the time, so he handed over his hands and apologized:
"Brother Xu, I'm really sorry. I was just chatting with Brother Xu and forgot about the time. It delayed my uncle and the Xu family's younger brothers and sisters from resting. It's really Mingzhi's fault. Please don't blame me."

"Mr. Xiao is serious. I would like to thank Mr. Xiao for taking us around the prosperous Tianyou City today. It has given me, a man from the village, a lot of insight. How can I blame Mr. Xiao?" Uncle Xu said quickly. .

He has been listening to the conversation between his son and Xiao Mingzhi. On the one hand, he is proud and satisfied with his eldest son. What he is proud of is that he always behaves calmly and calmly while being humble and polite when facing the praise and compliments of others.

On the other hand, he is worried that his son's high pressure will affect his mentality. He knows that his son has put a lot of effort into this exam. If this affects the final score, he may really suffer a great setback.

After all, he knew why his son was working so hard, for the Xu family and to protect Qibao, this had almost become an obsession in the child's heart.

The group of people stood up one after another and said goodbye one by one at the door of the teahouse before going their separate ways.

A few people returned to the inn and asked the waiter to bring some hot water. After a simple wash, they all lay down on the bed and started to sleep. After all, everyone was really tired that day.

Early the next morning, Qibao heard a knock on the door in a daze.

When he opened the door, he saw Xu Wenwu standing outside. When he saw Qibao, he walked in with a smile.

Seeing the confused look of her sister who had just woken up, she couldn't help but chuckle fondly. She gently took out the rabbit fur cloak that was placed on Xiaotan and put it on Qibao's body, saying:

"It's still a bit cold today, so don't get cold."

Qibao smiled and hugged one of Xu Wenwu's arms and said, "Brother is so kind, but Qibao won't be cold at all. Don't worry, brother."

Xu Wenwu gently touched the top of Qibao's hair and said in a gentle tone: "Okay, Qibao is the best! Are you hungry? Big brother will take you out to eat delicious food."

Qibao touched his belly and said playfully: "How does eldest brother know that I am hungry? Could it be that eldest brother can tell fortunes?"

Xu Wenwu laughed, shook his head, nodded Qibao's forehead, and said helplessly: "Hey, why don't you pack up quickly? Dad and your fifth brother will be waiting in a hurry."

"Yes!" After Qibao said this, he asked Fu Rui to fetch some water, washed his face, combed his hair neatly, and then went out with his eldest brother.

After the family met at the entrance of the inn, they walked towards the nearest snack stall...

"Qibao, look what that person is doing..." Xiao Wu suddenly pointed to a figure on the street in the distance and said.
