Chapter 422: The Examination is Over
This year's New Year's Eve was both busy and lively.
Mu Tou and the other two just went home to have lunch and then went straight back to the academy to prepare for the exam.
Su He also followed along.
Therefore, it was Miaomiao who hosted the New Year's Eve dinner at Su's house.
There were many people celebrating the New Year this year, so Liu Bai went to buy two long tables and put them in the kitchen so that everyone could sit down.
"Since my sister is not here, I won't say any nonsense. My family, I wish us all the best!"
"Getting better and better!"
Everyone finished their drinks, the men drank strong liquor, the women drank rice wine. Miaomiao even bought bayberry wine and green plum wine for everyone to try. The children drank sour plum juice.
"Began to eat!"
At Miaomiao's command, everyone started eating with a smile.
The men sat at one table, Shunzi, Wang Sheng, Wang Laoliu, Liu Bai, as well as Yadan, Goosedan, Niudan, He Gong, Dashan, and Xiaoniba.
Although Su Yuwen did not have to take the imperial examination this time, he has regarded the academy as his home since he came to the capital.
Yanzhi sent Xiaoguozi to Su's house and stayed with him in the academy.
The women sat at two tables, one for the adults and one for the children.
Jiaojiao and Baoer take care of the younger children.
"Little Fruit, let's have a drink."
Little Moon raised her cup in a baby voice and wanted to toast with Little Fruit, and Little Rainbow wanted to join in. In the end, the children toasted together.
The little girls burst into laughter after drinking. Little Niba was jealous from the adults' table, but unfortunately Jiaojiao forbade him to sit over there.
"Humph, what's the big deal, Dashan, let's drink together."
"Okay, let's go for a drink too."
Dashan was very cooperative, but the postures of these two people seemed wrong.
He Gong scratched his head and asked hesitantly.
"Dashan, this is the posture for newlyweds to drink from their wedding cups. You don't have to do this."
The three eggs sat opposite the mountain and laughed.
"Huh, this shows that we have a good relationship."
“That’s right, you don’t understand at all.”
Xiao Niba and the other man tried to save their reputation. To prove their words, the two drank from the same cup again.
As a result, Jiaojiao and Baoer led the ridicule, and Xiao Niba was so angry that he had to go to his strongest backer, Liu Bai.
It was mentioned before that Yue Ran was taken care of by Liu Bai when she was a child and experienced the feeling of flying in the sky. Xiao Niba and Dashan had also heard about it. This time, Liu Bai followed back to Tianyuan Village and was strongly requested by the children to demonstrate it again.
Liu Bai was a generous man. He took every child on a flight. Since then, he became the idol of all the kids.
Originally, his father was ranked first in Xiao Niba's heart. After all, his father was a big constable who was in charge of more than a dozen people and even wore a knife.
When Liu Bai flew, Wang Bin immediately slipped to second place.
"Brother Bai, these women are too bullying, can't you bear it?"
There was a hint of provocation in Xiao Niba's words. Before Liu Bai could say anything, the people around him were already laughing silly.
"Little Niba, you have to call me uncle, and don't call me that."
Wang Sheng said with a frown that even the little mud bird would not pay any attention to him.
"Brother Bai, what do you say?"
Liu Bai smiled and motioned Xiao Niba to come over, and Xiao Niba ran over.
Liu Bai held Xiao Niba in his arms and let him sit on his lap.
"We men must be able to withstand being laughed at. Didn't you say you wanted to be a swordsman in the future? We heroes must be more generous. When Xiao Guozi and the others go out, you must be the hero who protects them. Then they will like to play with you."
Little Niba looked at Little Fruit and the others in the distance, pouting his lips and saying nothing.
"I want to be a cold-blooded hero."
Everyone laughed. Shunzi picked up the wine glass and said to Xiao Niba.
"Here's to you! The future, cold-blooded hero."
Xiao Niba picked up Liu Bai's wine glass and clinked glasses with others, then let Liu Bai drink.
"Brother Bai, drink for me. I'm still young and can't drink."
Liu Bai took it with a smile and drank it all.
Little Niba never got off Liu Bai's legs that whole night.
Liu Bai spoke more frequently than usual and told everyone gossip about the capital.
None of Miaomiao and the others were as well-informed as Liu Bai, so they all listened very carefully. They were very curious about what the people in the capital were like.
The days after the New Year passed quickly. When Mu Tou and the other two entered the examination room, Su He finally came back, and Su Yuwen and Yan Zhi were still in the academy.
Suho can rest for a few more days.
The imperial examination lasted for nine days. On the last day, the men in the family went to the examination room to pick up the people. There were too many people in the examination room, and the carriage could not get in. So Wang Laoliu watched the carriage from a distance, while Wang Sheng, Liu Bai and Shunzi squeezed into the crowd and carried the three people out. Wang Sheng and the other two carried one person each, all the way to the carriage, and then went home.
On the way home, Mu Tou and the other two fell asleep.
In the Su residence, everyone walked quietly, even the youngest girl, Xiao Guozi, knew to walk on tiptoe.
Su He felt very distressed when he saw the three people who had lost weight. The three people woke up the next afternoon. This time, even Mu Tou was very weak. "I don't want to take the exam again."
"It's okay. At worst, I'll be a Juren. It won't be bad if I go back to Guangyuan and become a Juren. I don't want to suffer this hardship anymore."
The three men lay on the kang, looking at the ceiling blankly and said.
"whee."
The three of them heard a laugh, and Mu Tou, as the one with physical strength, raised his head.
"what!"
"what's up?"
Qu Qing and Xu Wenyuan asked fearfully.
Su He led his family to fill the room tightly, and more than twenty people were staring at Mu Tou and the other two.
Mu Tou was so scared that he lay down immediately. Why didn’t these people light the oil lamp?
"Sister, why don't you light the oil lamp?"
"We were afraid to disturb your rest. Now that you are awake, you can open the window."
Shunzi and others hurried to open the window, and Liu Bai brought in two oil lamps, and the room suddenly became much brighter.
"Brother Mu has woken up."
Baoer lay on the edge of the kang and looked at the wood.
"This fat brother hasn't woken up yet, auntie, give them my caramel."
Xiao Guozi looked at Xu Wenyuan motionlessly and gave the maltose that he had saved to Miaomiao.
When Mu Tou saw it, he immediately struggled to sit up and snatch the candy.
"Little Guozi, uncle is here."
He kicked Xu Wenyuan who was standing next to him, and Xu Wenyuan immediately opened his mouth and ate it.
Then he took the maltose with his right hand, kicked Qu Qing with his right foot, and Qu Qing opened his mouth and ate it.
The three of them took turns eating candy, and they regained a little bit of strength.
"Uncle, brother, is it sweet?"
"Sweet~"
The three people answered weakly.
Xiao Guozi and his group ran out to play happily.
Juhua and her people brought over three bowls of brown sugar water. After Mu Tou and the other two were helped by their family members to drink the water, they finally felt better.
"Take a quarter of an hour's rest. There's still millet porridge in the pot. If you remember, just call me. We're all outside."
Su He had experience, so after seeing the three people recover, he took them out.
"Mu Tou, do you think we can get through this?"
Qu Qing looked at the roof again and asked.
"Yes, we can do it. No matter what the result is, we will take a two-month break. I want to recuperate."
"it is good."
“I want to eat spicy chicken feet. I also want to drink.”
"I want to eat fried chicken and go to a teahouse to listen to opera."
Mu Tou was drooling at what these two people said.
"Don't even think about it. You can only drink some millet porridge."
All three laughed.
