There’s a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea: 877|Seventy-eighth dragon scales (3)

The seventy-eighth dragon scale (3)

Linglong feels that if people's emotions can be shown on their faces, then Father Zhu and Mother Zhu should be the same at this moment, with three big characters: Is it poisonous?

In order to show that there is no poison, she took the lead in picking up the chopsticks and putting a piece of fish in her mouth, and then using the public chopsticks to give it to Mrs. Zhu: "Mother, try it, the food made by Xingyuan is delicious. From my family's chef, it's not much worse!"

Mr. Zhu carefully tasted it, and immediately showed a surprised look. When Dad took a look, the old lady's expression was very good, so she also took a bite.

There is nothing to say next. Everyone eats a round belly, and I wish the old man looked at the younger son with amazed eyes. He is too lazy to make people feel outrageous on weekdays, and I didn't expect to have a good cooking skill!

Zhu Xingyuan withstood the gaze from Father Zhu and Mrs. Zhu without changing his face. After Father Zhu and Mrs. Zhu, he went around the house again. Everywhere was clean and tidy. The people here are especially good at living. The second old man finally let go of his heart that was hanging in the air. There is basically no hope for the younger son to test Xiucai, but no matter what, marrying such a wealthy wife, They also don't hope that one day in the future, the mummified eyes of the daughter-in-law will be opened because of the laziness of the youngest son...

It's good to be able to work, it's good to be willing to work, as long as you live well, you won't starve to death.

The second old man is relieved.

Afterwards, they observed that the fourth son of his family was not only diligent in cooking and cleaning up the house, but also diligent in other aspects. After a few days, I wish my father thought about discussing the future with the youngest son. , you can't just sit and eat the mountain, can you? No matter how rich a daughter-in-law is, it is also the daughter-in-law's money. A manly man, how can a daughter-in-law be raised for a lifetime?

Father Zhu was very euphemistic. Early in the morning, he knocked on the door next door with his hoe, and asked Zhu Xingyuan to go down with him to plan peanuts.

Zhu Xingyuan was shocked, but Father Zhu had a serious look on his face, and secretly looked behind him to make sure that his daughter-in-law was not following, so he whispered to Zhu Xingyuan: "Four children, Dad didn't want to tire you, But think about it, you haven't been admitted as a scholar for many years. How will you live in the future? You can't tell your daughter-in-law to spend all her dowry, right? Dagui, as long as you are willing to work, we will not worry about food and clothing.”

Zhu Xingyuan said: "Dad, I still want to take the exam."

I wish my father a frown upon hearing this. Although the youngest daughter-in-law said during the marriage that she would offer her son to take the exam for a scholar in the future, but to be honest, I really don't have any hope. How many years can the younger son take the test? There is an old boy in the next village who has failed many tests! Don't you give up on taking the exam now? Some people are born without that fate!

But he couldn't understand the younger son. Since he insisted on taking the test, Father Zhu couldn't do anything about it. Now that the family is separated, what he said didn't work anymore. It's good to be a scholar, but if you can't get out, there's nothing you can do. The ancestral graves don't smoke, who are you going to talk to?

Linglong was lying on the bed, the duvet was lifted, and her warm body came back. She snuggled up and muttered, "What did I ask you to do early in the morning?"

Zhu Xingyuan's eyebrows and eyes stretched: "Tell me to work in the field."

"Ah?" Linglong was stunned, then shook his head, "No, I don't agree."

Let such a handsome man work in the fields? Isn't that overkill? How can you spoil this beauty?

"I refused." He adjusted a better posture and hugged Linglong into his arms, laughing, "I told him that I still want to take the exam."

The second old man's starting point is good, but he doesn't know how to work in the fields. It's not that he looks down on this kind of work, but the ratio of effort and income is out of balance. There is obviously a better way to survive, so why bother? Not to mention that he can be exempted from taxes after being admitted as a scholar. If he wants to come to Lao Zhu's house, he understands this truth. He would only do his best to study for him a few years ago. It's just that Zhu Xiaosi is not a material for reading, and he can't pass the test. Now, the family has given up hope.

Stop the loss in time, Zhu Xingyuan does not think it is wrong.

"It's the test." Linglong rubbed in his arms, "You don't even have to take the test, you don't even need to read the book."

He chuckled: "So confident in me."

"Of course."

"Then I have to take the exam well, at least, I have to make you a lady of the first prize, otherwise it will be a shame."

"Hmmmm." Linglong nodded, "Come on."

It's too perfunctory. At first glance, I still want to sleep. Zhu Xingyuan kept laughing, and his chest shook slightly. Linglong felt uncomfortable, so he beat him. He had used the trick a long time ago, and Linglong looked at him ruthlessly. After a while, the two of them laughed together and pulled the quilt up again.

If you say you want to take the exam, of course you have to take the exam. Although the gentleman in the private school can't teach anything, he has persevered for many years against a waste like Zhu Xiaosi. The kid was kicked out, so as not to ruin his reputation and make people think he couldn't teach good students.

Zhu Xingyuan stayed at home with Linglong for a few more days before heading to town to give gifts to Mr.

After seeing him get married, his temperament changed drastically. He was completely different, and he studied his knowledge. He realized that he was a thousand miles away, and he was surprised and delighted. To be able to get enlightened, after I want to get married, I wish Xingyuan is enlightened!

The "enlightened" Zhu Xingyuan not only improved his knowledge, but also treated people and things differently from usual. The husband was overjoyed, and then he felt that his years of hard work had not been in vain. He went to Zhu's house in person, and said to the second elder of the Zhu family, don't waste this money, it's not easy to support a scholar, just pen, ink, paper and inkstone is a huge amount of money, if there is hope, it will be good. According to the previous performance of the Zhu family's fourth child, it is obviously impossible.

After the meeting with the teacher, Zhu Xingyuan walked around the town again and bought some good food to go back.

He then stayed at home in the name of studying behind closed doors.

The villagers of Dashitou Village don't know how many times they have heard about Zhu Xiaosi's reading. Everyone has nothing to do, and some people open the book, betting on whether Zhu Xiaosi can be admitted to a scholar this time. The sad thing is that there is no one who can bet, so this game can't be played at all.

I wish my father knew that the villagers were making fun of his youngest child, and he was so angry that he almost drove the leader several miles away with a hoe!

Zhu Xingyuan was completely unaware of this. There were still a few months before the county test. He was in no hurry. Before that, he was still looking for a way to make money. Dashitou Village was not suitable for them to live in, and they could not live there. Live here forever.

Father Zhu and Madam Zhu know that Yao'er is going to take the exam, but they look very hard. Anyway, they don't go out every day. Studying is still lazy, I just hope that if I fail this exam again, I can relax my mind and stop having those wishful thinking in the future.

Zhu Xingyuan, who is defined as wishful thinking even to be a scholar, stays at home, just flips through books at random every day, and spends most of his time playing with Linglong.

For him, getting a scholar is a piece of cake, and it doesn't take much effort at all.

In this way, time passed by in a flash. When it was time for the February county exam, Zhu Xingyuan went to town again and asked the gentleman in the private school to bail him out. The husband has already vouched for him several times and is very skilled. The only thing is that he doesn't know if this disciple can pass the exam this time...

In addition, I also need to protect each other with the other four candidates. I wish the little four's popularity... A lazy man, usually at home to stretch his hands to eat and open his mouth, he relies on his parents to serve him, and he can't wait to lie down all his life. In bed, such a person, no matter how smart his brain is, how much time do you expect him to spend studying?

So before Zhu Xingyuan left the private school, he was ridiculed by his former classmates.

A scholar in a blue robe and a pair of crepe and crepe shook his folding fan. It was actually quite cold in February. Zhu Xingyuan didn't know why he was still waving a fan like a tiger. So few, maybe he is more earthy and can't understand this kind of elegance.

The scholar glanced at Zhu Xingyuan. After Zhu Xingyuan signed the guarantee with others, he would go home. The day after tomorrow, he would not leave Linglong alone at home and would take her with him.

When Zhu Xingyuan passed by him, the scholar waved his folding fan gracefully and said with emotion, "I don't know if some people will be able to pass the exam this year."

Standing with him are several other classmates, some from the village and some from the town. Anyway, I usually don't deal with Zhu Xiaosi, mainly because Zhu Xiaosi is lazy and too lazy to do anything. He can run with anyone if he is good, and he has no backbone, but he can't bear to give birth to a good skin, and even with his husband, he is reluctant to say a few harsh words to him. Wouldn't this attract the attention of others?

It's so funny, I'm just a child, and I can't even pass the exam for several years. It's ridiculous.

"If it were me, I wouldn't be able to pass the exam for so many years as a scholar, I would have thrown myself into the river in shame!" Another scholar shook his head with a distressed look, "My parents save money to study, this is not a good idea. Shu Xiu has paid the money, but he has not come to the private school for several months, do you really think that he is a Wenqu star?"

"Hahahahahaha Wang brother, do you really believe in the saying that Wenquxing has descended to the world! That's just a cover up of some people's incompetence! If it were Wenquxing, how could you not even pass a small county test!"

A few people were sneering at it, and they thought that Zhu Xiaosi would be crazy. After all, this guy couldn't stand teasing others before. If anyone said something bad about him, he blushed for a long time and didn't know how to fight back. Classmates Gradually, he liked to tease him.

Who knew that Zhu Xingyuan didn't even look at them, so he passed by them, making the smiling faces of the three of them froze awkwardly, unchanged for a long time.

This person ignores them, they feel that the other party can't hold back, they ignore it, and they feel ashamed again.

"Hello, I wish Xingyuan!"

Zhu Xingyuan turned a deaf ear. He didn't know how many times he heard such slander. If he was angry and sad about it every time, he would not have to live.

As for anger, it's not too much, because he knows what kind of person he is, and there is absolutely no need to have general knowledge with such a person, but if his eldest lady is there, she will definitely protect him. So Zhu Xingyuan turned his head slowly and said, "You should be glad that I am the only one here today."

The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what he meant.

Two days later, the county exam is about to start. These three people figured out what Zhu Xingyuan said that day. It turns out that this person has to take his wife with him when he takes the county exam!

The scholar surnamed Wang has a relatively cheap mouth. Seeing that Zhu Xingyuan was inseparable from the woman wearing the veil, he laughed and said: "Brother Zhu, a good man is determined to be in all directions, since brother Zhu is reluctant to part with his wife at home, he is even in the county exam. If you want to take it with you, why don’t you take your old lady with you? It’s beautiful that there are some people who add fragrance to their sleeves and others who do laundry and cooking.”

Zhu Xingyuan's eyes turned cold. Others said he didn't care, but it could be said that being exquisite was absolutely impossible.

Linglong didn't let him speak, but said with a smile: "This Xiongtai, I see that your Yintang is black. I am afraid that you will suffer today. I advise Xiongtai to stay away from the water."

The face of the scholar surnamed Wang turned black: "Brother Zhu! I kindly advise, Brother Zhu, this lady has an unforgiving mouth!"

Linglong narrowed her eyes, but no one could see what was going on in the next second. Scholar Wang suddenly fell on his horse and got up with blood all over his mouth. He didn't know if his teeth were knocked out. The people around him hurriedly helped him up, but the county trial was imminent, and it was not easy to leave, just with this mouth, I was afraid that he would not be able to speak in a short time.

The more the scholar surnamed Wang thought, the more angry he became. Until the exam started, the anger in his heart could not be vented, so when he was grinding the ink, the range of motion was a little bigger, and then tragedy happened - the one used to polish the ink. The bowl of clear water, each candidate has a bowl, was distributed by the county government, and it was so slammed—his sleeve was knocked over!

From the test questions to the roll paper, it's all wet!

Scholar Wang's face is pale!

Although this county test is not strict, it can only be tested once a year, and candidates are not allowed to talk to each other in the middle! Once his paper is destroyed, the invigilator will not give him a new one!

Suddenly, the candidate surnamed Wang was desperate, sitting in the exam number for a long time, unable to speak, and after a while, he sobbed and cried!

I provoked the inspector. I heard that it was Qingshui who knocked over the test paper. The officer didn't say much, but only asked him whether he was leaving the examination room or staying there. This year is a vain study, and we can only take the test in February of the following year.

He clearly brought down the water bowl with his sleeve, but at this time, he blamed the guilt on the lady of Zhu Xingyuan. If that woman hadn't cursed him, how could he be so unlucky? !

At this moment, he forgot that he was the first to be rude.

When I went out, I happened to pass Zhu Xingyuan's exam number, but saw that the paper was filled up, and it was estimated that it was almost finished. The examinee surnamed Wang was shocked. Could it be possible that Zhu Xingyuan could pass the exam this year?

Just went out like this, and the candidate surnamed Wang was unhappy, so he endured the already red and swollen lips and stood at the door waiting for Zhu Xingyuan to come out.

What surprised him was that Zhu Xingyuan almost came out with his front and back feet. Obviously, as soon as he left, Zhu Xingyuan handed in the papers.

The candidate surnamed Wang sat in it for a while, and his mouth became better. Although he spoke with a big tongue, he could barely hear it. Seeing that Zhu Xingyuan's jade tree is handsome and handsome, his temperament is different from that of ordinary people, and his heart is sour. In fact, Zhu Xiaosi does not do anything angry at the private school on weekdays, except that he is born well, which makes people jealous.

Don't think that only women are jealous, men are even more terrifying to be jealous.

Seeing Zhu Xingyuan coming out now, with a calm expression and no nervousness at all, Scholar Wang couldn't help but be rude: "Come out so early, shouldn't it be a problem, don't you dare to be embarrassed in it?"

Zhu Xingyuan glanced at him when he heard the words, and said, "My wife reminded Wang brother that there will be disasters today, and keep away from the water. It seems that Wang brother didn't listen."

Scholar Wang's face turned green, white and black when he mentioned the bowl of clear water that ruined his county test. "How dare you say it! If your woman hadn't cursed me, how could I have really knocked over the water and got the test paper wet! It's all your fault!"

Zhu Xingyuan looked coldly at this unfortunate person who blamed others: "You are right, I must have missed the county exam last year, and it is also my fault."

Although Scholar Wang has not been taking the exam for several years like Zhu Xingyuan, this year is also the second time he has taken the county exam. It is even more ironic that Zhu Xiaosi said things that he did not pass last year. This could have happened! It was you who harmed me!"

Zhu Xingyuan was too lazy to pay attention to him, especially that mouth. He might have slapped it a little hard before the exam. Right now, it's swollen like a sausage, and his eyes are really hot, and he doesn't want to look at it anymore.

Linglong came to pick him up, holding the sugar gourd in one hand and the freshly baked biscuits in the other. She went shopping and came back, just in time for Zhu Xingyuan to finish the exam, so she didn't have to wait long. Seeing Scholar Wang's miserable face, she didn't say comfort, but gloated first: "Brother Wang really has committed a disaster."

After he finished speaking, he was still old-fashioned and said: "If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you."

Scholar Wang was about to die of anger when the couple sang and sang together, but his good brothers were still in the exam and did not pass the exam. After all, not everyone is as fast as Zhu Xingyuan, and not everyone is like Wang Shusheng. Bad luck.

Zhu Xingyuan took the biscuits and tore them into small halves. It was very difficult to eat while wearing a veil, but without a veil, this small town resident who has never seen the world and is always staring at her, obviously has restrained Still can't prevent those glances.

"You can't go!"

Zhu Xingyuan held Linglong's hand and turned around, "Is it possible that Brother Wang wants us to pay for the medical expenses?"

"If you want medical expenses, you have to ask for the bluestone slab at the entrance of the county government office. It's not us who knocked it down." Linglong said coolly.

These two people are too good at running people, Wang Shusheng has no help, and his chest is heaving violently with anger, and the thin and small body looks exquisite and worried that a gust of wind will blow people away later, to be honest , February is still quite cold, these scholars are very good, they are very thinly dressed, unlike her family Zhu Xingyuan, they are almost wrapped into a ball.

Linglong is not afraid of heat and cold, but Zhu Xingyuan is afraid. He especially hates the wind, neither the dark nor the cold.

In the end, Scholar Wang pointed with his trembling fingers for a long time, but he couldn't say a word. After easily KO this guy, Zhu Xingyuan returned to the inn with Linglong. There are three exams in the county exam, one a day, and the papers can be submitted in advance. He was worried about leaving her alone in the house in Dashitou Village, not because he was afraid of danger, but because he didn't want others to trouble her.

I don't want to talk about it with my elder brothers. The three sisters-in-law are all shrewd. Linglong showed their family background that day, and they inevitably have some tricks. These Zhu Xingyuan feel harmless. If possible, he is also willing to repay them. One or two, after all these years, I wish Xiao Si delicious and lazy to live for so long, and several sisters-in-law have also contributed a lot.

But it's not possible to plan something exquisite.

Now he just hopes that he can finish the exam soon, and after the exam, he can take her out of here and live in another place.

The inn in the town can only be said to be clean and has no other advantages, but the bed is big enough for two people to sleep.

There were also other candidates living in the house. When the two were resting in the room, they heard footsteps outside. In such an inn in a small town, naturally don't think about how good the sound insulation effect is. Even if the doors and windows are closed, the footsteps outside can be clearly heard. There are still people answering the questions, some people are happy and some people are worried, but the county test is only an imperial examination. The first step, and the first test is very simple, as long as you have a solid foundation, you can pass the test. If you can't pass this first test, you will basically miss the talent.

Linglong was lying on Zhu Xingyuan's chest, disgusted with the noise outside, she picked up his big hand and put it on her ear, but where can she cover it?

It's okay if I can't cover it, I play with his fingers and touch his face with a smile. Because he is too handsome, he can't help but kiss him.

The two made out for a while. Until the next day, Zhu Xingyuan woke up early and didn't wake Linglong. He only kissed her on the lips before leaving. When Linglong woke up, he came back after finishing the exam. , Looking at the sky, it is estimated that this time it is also submitted in advance. After all, the content of these exams is too simple for him, and he can even write the answer without going through his brain.

Not only that, but he also bought a roast chicken when he came back, and Linglong would wake up, in large part because the roast chicken was so fragrant.

In the third session that followed, Zhu Xingyuan was still the first to submit the papers. He submitted papers ahead of time, which obviously put a lot of pressure on other candidates who were not familiar with him, but such as Wang Shusheng who knew him well I didn't believe that he could really answer the questions. I just thought he just filled up the paper and came out. It was a mule or a horse who pulled it out for a walk. The whole private school knew how Zhu Xiao Si's grades were. Can he pass the exam? Oh, the sun will rise from the west tomorrow!

The results were released three days later. The candidates were stunned when they looked at the name at the top of the list, especially the candidates who were in the same private school as Zhu Xingyuan, including the ridiculed and cursed Wang Shusheng. They refused to believe this result. !

Zhu Xingyuan did not pass the exam for so many years! Even if you pass the county exam, you are still at the bottom of the rankings. How can you get to the top of the list?

There must be something wrong! definitely!
