The daily life of a farm girl raising a family

Chapter 32 Surprise Examination

Zhao Yunxi suddenly looked up at the source of the sound.

Looking at the person coming, he raised his lips and waved happily: "Sister Junyao"

Horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts side by side.

Wang Junyao stuck out her head from the window and said with a smile: "I called you from a long way away, and I couldn't hear you for a long time. What are you thinking about with your head down?"

Zhao Yunxi said to the woman apologetically: "Sister Junyao, don't be angry. I was just thinking about something and was a little obsessed, so I didn't pay attention."

Wang Junyao looked at the people on the ox cart, "Are you here to give your brother the exam? Now you are going back to the inn. Which inn are you staying at? I will come and visit you when I have time."

Zhao Yunxi spread his hands helplessly and said: "I'm just worried because I couldn't find an inn. We arrived too late, and all the inns in the county have been booked. Even the residences around the examination room are already full of people."

Wang Junyao looked at the family of young and old on the bullock cart and said to Zhao Yunxi: "Follow me, and I will take you to find a place to live."

After saying that, without waiting for a response from Zhao Yunxi's family, he asked the driver to drive the carriage and left. Seeing this, Zhao Yunxi quickly asked his second uncle to follow.

He followed the carriage through four streets and finally followed it into an alley.

The carriage in front stopped in front of a house. Zhao Yunxi was a little confused. He wouldn't take him to Sister Junyao's house!
  How embarrassing, there are so many people and not even a gift.

Wang Junyao got off the carriage, looked at the dull-looking little girl and said, "We're already here, why don't you get out of the carriage?"

Zhao Yunxi jumped off the bullock cart and looked around carefully. It looked like a private residential area!

I felt more and more certain that I had brought him to Wang's house, thinking that I wouldn't be rude later.

But when I visit a friend’s house for the first time, I don’t even bring a gift. Isn’t this rude?

While Zhao Yunxi and heaven were fighting, Wang Junyao's coachman had already knocked on the door.

"squeak"

The heavy door made a dull sound.

Wang Junyao looked at her grandma who was leaning back to open the door, and called out affectionately: "Auntie, I'm here to see you. By the way, I brought a friend to meet you. Her brother will take the exam tomorrow and hasn't booked an inn yet, so he will stay with you for a few days. "

"Okay, let them in! Just tell them that I don't like noise."

The old woman's voice was loud and resonant enough that even the Zhao family heard it without having to convey it.

The people who followed an old man and a young man into the courtyard couldn't help but admire the houses and courtyards they entered.

Zhao Yunxi's family was arranged to enter at the same time, which made it easier for the whole family to enter without disturbing the host's family.

Zhao Yunxi stepped forward and told Wang Junyao, asking her to take Zhao Yunxi to thank her grandma and give her the accommodation money for these days.

Knowing that Zhao Yunxi is a person with principles and his own rules, he led Zhao Yunxi into the second courtyard without saying anything.

The old woman who was sitting in the living room drinking tea glanced at the two people walking in from the corner of her eye and continued drinking tea without raising her head.

"Grandma, I've bothered you these days. This is the accommodation money for you. I hope you won't take it too little."

The old woman didn't say anything. She reached out to take the wallet and pinched it carefully with her fingers. There was about two taels of silver in it.

Seeing that the old lady really didn't like others disturbing her purity, Zhao Yunxi stood up and said goodbye.

"My aunt and I are from the same family. Her husband and son went to war and did not come back. I came back to sit with her for a while when I had nothing to do."

Military families and military wives deserve respect from everyone.

After hearing this, Zhao Yunxi said: "When I come to the county in the future, I will come to see my grandma when I have time."

Although they didn't meet her often, Wang Junyao knew her temperament and would definitely be able to do it if she spoke.

The first time I took the initiative to hold a little girl's hand, I was in a happy mood with a smile on my face.

Zhao Yunxi returned to the yard and saw that the yard had been cleaned up by her father and others. After the room was assigned, Zhao Yunxi started clamoring for dinner.

Old Zhaotou said a little mentally: "You go and eat! I have been running around all day today, and my body is a little overwhelmed. When you come back, just bring me some." In the end, only a few young people went to eat with Wang Junyao. . Zhao Yunxi thought about treating Wang Junyao to a meal to express his gratitude.

If it hadn't been for her, they would have been rushing home in the biting cold wind.

After walking for nearly two-quarters of an hour, Wang Junyao led several people into the entrance building with familiarity.

The same shopkeeper from last time came out to greet them and took them directly to the private room upstairs.

Zhao Yunxi handed the recipe to Wang Junyao, and Wang Junyao was not polite and ordered a few dishes neatly.

Then he ordered: "Two people are responsible for these dishes. Pack one portion and give it to my driver to take away."

The shopkeeper nodded and said yes, then bowed and left.

When Wang Junyao watched the person leave, he became less cautious. Looking at the two sisters sitting aside talking in low voices.

"You are really heartless. Even if you don't come before the New Year, I won't see you come during the Lantern Festival either."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunxi stepped forward and took Wang Junyao's hand: "There's no way, I'm too young. I don't know how to drive a bullock cart, so my family will definitely be worried even if I go home. Besides, aren't I here now? But Don't be angry, otherwise you will become ugly."

When Wang Junyao heard Zhao Yunxi say that he would become ugly when he was angry, Wang Junyao couldn't hold back any longer.

After the two started playing around, the atmosphere in the room became lively.

The food arrived soon after, and I was on the road all day. A few people must have not eaten well, so after the meals were served. All you can hear is the sound of chopsticks hitting dishes.

After dinner, Zhao Yunxi settled the bill in advance, and Wang Junyao didn't say anything after knowing it.

The two said goodbye in front of the restaurant. After all, she was a girl, and it would be bad to go home too late.

After waving goodbye to Wang Junyao, the four brothers and sisters Zhao Yunxi walked towards the academy.

There was no bullock cart or anything on the road at the moment, so the four of them could only walk on their legs.

The four of them walked in the ice and snow for nearly half an hour. Looking at the academy with lanterns hanging in the distance, we have finally arrived. If we don't have it anymore, our legs will be useless.

At the entrance of the academy, there is still the familiar guard. Without waiting for Zhao Yunxi to come forward and say hello, he turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard.

After a while, the three brothers Zhao Yunzheng walked out of the academy. The three of them looked at the brothers and sisters outside the door, with a hint of surprise on their faces.

Zhao Yunxi stepped forward and handed the copper plate to the guard.

"Big brother."

"Why are you the only ones here? Grandpa and him didn't come?"

Zhao Yunzheng looked around several times but did not see his grandfather.

"They are all here, but they are resting now. I just came here to tell you that we will see you off tomorrow."

Looking at the red cheeks of his younger brothers and sisters, Zhao Yunzheng felt moved in his heart.

Listening to the younger sister's words, Zhao Yunqin hurriedly said: "The roads will be blocked tomorrow. You have to go out early, otherwise you will not be able to catch up."

In such a cold weather, Zhao Yunzheng still felt sorry for his younger siblings and elders.

Several people said cheerfully: "Don't worry, we watched it specifically near the examination room today."

"And we have prepared a surprise for you?"

The two brothers looked at the snickering people, and a bad premonition flashed through their hearts.

Zhao Yunqin was very curious and said: "Xiaojiu, tell me what surprises you have prepared."

"That won't work. If you say it, there will be no surprise."

Zhao Yunxi nodded in agreement. That's right, there will be no surprises, hehe!
