You don't understand the fairy world

Chapter 16 Autumn Test (2)
Huaiying lived in fear for two days, but fortunately Xiao Zidan returned to normal - at least on the surface.But every time he saw Long Xining, he always showed a complicated and tangled expression, which made Huaiying feel really worried.

Long Xining didn't take Xiao Zidan's reaction to heart at all, and unexpectedly worked hard, meditating on the bed every night, sitting for several hours without moving.Several times, Huaiying couldn't help stretching out her fingers to breathe under his nose to see if he was still alive.

On the fourth day after the first round of the autumn exam, the results of Tie Jing and Dayi came out.Xiao Zitong led Huaiying and Long Xining to see it together, but neither Father Xiao nor Xiao Zidan went.They saw it at a glance, Xiao Zidan was in second place.

While watching the list, I met Dong Cheng again.He is also on the list, but it is more than 170.

Dong Cheng's complexion was very bad, with blue veins popping out of his forehead, he gritted his teeth and stood motionless in front of the imperial list.

Xiao Zitong took the opportunity to sneer at this moment: "Hey, isn't this the future master Xie Yuan, you also come to see the list? Tsk tsk, let me see, oops, why can't I see your name? Look at the number one on the list. Two, Xiao Zidan, this is the real Xiao family boy. After a few days, when he is in high school, my father will know who to put his strength on. Our Xiao family is not a big family, but there are not so many Favors are used on an outsider who may not even be able to pass the exam..."

Xiao Zitong's voice was a little high, and everyone around looked at Dong Cheng, and some asked Dong Cheng's identity in a low voice.

"What's the young master? He climbed into the Xiao family by relying on the women in the family as concubines. He usually puts on airs more than the serious young master. He really regards himself as a character."

"How many exams did you take?"

"170." There was a hint of sarcasm in that voice, "He is still on the list anyway."

Everyone sighed in unison.

Dong Cheng regarded himself as a talented man, he was used to seeing no one, and he didn't know how to restrain himself when he came to Fucheng, so he ridiculed several famous talents in the city.Now seeing that he has only taken more than 170 exams, those people naturally made trouble and laughed aloud.

Dong Cheng hated him extremely, but he didn't dare to attack again in front of the crowd, with a gloomy face, he pushed aside the crowd and hurried away.

Huaiying frowned and watched him go away, then said in a low voice: "Brother Zitong, why bother with him, I think this man's heart is not right, you offend him like this, he doesn't know what he will do later."

However, Xiao Zitong was so proud that his eyes were bent with a smile: "I have endured him for a long time, and I finally took the opportunity to teach him a lesson. How could I miss it? Don't worry, my father is cruel. He was indulged earlier, but It is because he still has some knowledge, which can be used in the future. When he knows that this kid is also a lump of mud that can't stick to the wall, he will definitely throw it very quickly. There are more than 170, even if his later strategy test is good, it's nothing play."

When the two returned home, they told the good news that Xiao Zidan was ranked second, even if Father Xiao and Xiao Zidan were mentally prepared, they were also very happy.Although Long Xining didn't understand why everyone was so happy, he also smiled and congratulated Xiao Zidan, and quietly took the wine glass in front of Huaiying, took a small sip, and then poured it down.

His Royal Highness the Dragon King actually poured a cup!
Even if she already knows that the legendary gods are not omniscient and omnipotent, but in books and dramas, which god can't drink?

Xiao Zidan's mood was also very complicated. He silently carried Long Xining to the bed to rest. Before leaving, he stopped hesitantly: "How long...how long does he plan to stay at our house?"

Huaiying was startled, looked at Xiao Zidan with some embarrassment, and whispered: "Wulang didn't say anything." She carefully helped Long Xining speak, "He was injured and quarreled with his family, so he didn't want to go back I was thinking, anyway, the elder brother Qiushi will pass the high school exam, we have to go to the capital to take the exam before the end of the year. At that time, we can bring Goro to the capital and give him to the third brother."

It's okay that she didn't mention the third brother and the fourth brother. When she mentioned this, Xiao Zidan's expression became more subtle. The legendary master of the national teacher who is as tall as a banished fairy is actually a real god. If Xiao Zitong knew ——No, this matter must not be let him know.

He was silent for a long time, so that even Huaiying was a little worried: "Brother, you won't have any psychological burden, right? There will be another exam in a few days..."

Xiao Zidan said angrily: "Okay, I know it in my heart."

As soon as this list came out, the house became lively, people came to visit from morning to night, most of them were students of the same year, and those who came to invite Xiao Zidan to participate in various literary meetings, as well as wealthy households in the city, fell in love with him. Everyone who wanted to recruit Xiao Zidan to be his son-in-law was rejected by Father Xiao for various reasons.

Of course Huaiying agreed with Xiao's father's opinion, Xiao Zidan was only a few years old, and it was too early to get married, what's more, Huaiying felt that he didn't seem to be enlightened yet.

"Oh, what is Uncle Ling doing to reject her in such a hurry, at least I'll ask Zidan to meet her girl, maybe he'll fall in love with her." Xiao Zitong squeezed his eyes with a smirk. , "We have beautiful women in Qiantang, with skin as white as jade, petite and exquisite. If you miss this village, you will not have this shop. Zidan, you will not regret it in the future."

Xiao Zidan rolled his eyes at him angrily: "You like to marry me."

Xiao Zitong was choked by him, but he was not angry. He smiled, and lay down on the table and said, "I'm just kidding with you, don't take it seriously. Even if you really want to talk about kissing, you have to wait until the spring is over. But then you You have been selected as a Jinshi, but be careful not to be kidnapped by those who are not on the list." With Xiao Zidan's age and appearance, he is really going to be in high school, and I don't know how many people will be eyeing him.If you accidentally get snatched by a tigress, you won't even have time to cry.

Xiao Zidan shook his head dumbfounded.

The two were talking, when Huaiying's voice suddenly came from outside: "Brother Zitong, someone is looking for you."

Xiao Zitong was slightly surprised: "How could someone in Qiantang City know me?" He got up suspiciously and opened the door, saw the person coming, and said displeasedly, "Didn't I say earlier that I won't be going back soon? Why are you urging me again? "

The person who came was Xiao Zitong's book boy Danzi, who was brought over from the capital. Although he was young, he was talkative. Xiao Zitong thought he was annoying, so he didn't bring him with him when he came to Xiao's house this time.

"Master, a letter from the capital!"

Xiao Zitong said "Oh" impatiently.

"The letter says that Madam is seriously ill."

Xiao Zitong immediately panicked: "What... what?" He grabbed Danzi by the collar, "What happened to my mother? Why did she suddenly become seriously ill?"

Danzi replied with a bitter face: "It is said that he caught wind and cold on the way back to Beijing, young master, you should go back quickly."

After such a big incident happened, Xiao Zitong naturally packed his things and rushed to the capital immediately.Xiao Zidan sent him out of the city, then frowned, and returned home with a worried face.

In the afternoon, a dozen or so guests came to the house, all of whom were candidates for the exam this time. They were all young, and Dong Cheng was among them.He kept his head down and didn't speak much. After entering the room, he greeted Xiao Zidan politely, and then sat in the corner without saying a word.

Xiao Zidan was still worried about the condition of Mrs. Xiao's family, but no matter how unhappy the guests came, it would be difficult to drive them out, so he forced a smile and greeted everyone politely.

The room was full of young men, Huaiying didn't want to stay for long, and returned to the room after making tea.

Standing in front of the water urn, Long Xining was talking to Fan Jianglong. Hearing Huaiying enter the house, he turned his head and asked her, "Another visitor at home? I heard the voice of an outsider."

Huaiying nodded: "They are all students from the same department as the eldest brother, talking in the room. That annoying Dong Cheng is also here, how strange."

The two were talking, and their voices came from outside again. Huaiying looked out through the half-open window. It was obvious that the young people disliked the narrowness of the house and moved to the yard to talk.

Long Xining also went to the window and asked curiously, "Which one is Dong Cheng?" He always heard Xiao Zitong mention this "white-eyed wolf", but he had never seen it before, so he was inevitably a little curious.

"It's the black and thin one, not tall..." Huaiying stared at the crowd for a long time, but he didn't see anyone, and couldn't help being a little surprised, "Where did he go?"

"Go to the latrine?"

Huaiying shook her head: "I don't know, did you go back?" She and Long Xining, one big and one small, lay their heads on the window and stared at the people in the yard to observe carefully.

Long Xining shook his head and said, "These people are not as good-looking as Xiao Zidan."

Huaiying was speechless for a moment.

The two were chatting nonchalantly, when Dong Cheng suddenly appeared, Huaiying took a closer look, and he came out of Xiao Zidan's room.

What was he doing for so long just now?You can't be doing something bad, right?Huaiying immediately became vigilant.

After all the guests in the yard had dispersed, she called Xiao Zidan to talk to him about it.

Xiao Zidan smiled and said: "When he came out, his purse was scattered and scattered all over the floor. He looked for it inside the house."

"No, I have to go to your room to have a look." Huaiying was still a little worried, entered Xiao Zidan's room, and checked it carefully, even under the bed, but found nothing wrong The place.

Xiao Zidan smiled helplessly and said: "There are so many people here, he doesn't dare to play any tricks. Otherwise, if something happens to me, he can't get away with it." But he still followed Huaiying Checked again.

"never mind?"

Huaiying shook her head, did she really blame Dong Cheng by mistake?

"By the way——" Huaiying slapped his forehead suddenly, turned around and took Xiao Zidan's exam preparation box from the bookshelf, opened it, and found that the pen, ink and inkstone were still there, and there was no trace of tampering.Huaiying picked up each of them and looked at them, but still couldn't find anything wrong.

Huaiying put everything back in place again: "Well, maybe I think too much."
