Su Yizhao waved his hand quickly, "The list hasn't been released yet, so we still can't speculate too much. Anyway, as long as we can pass the county examination."
With her current reputation, she still shouldn't be too public about it. There are already many people who can't stand her.
The two chatted with Su Yizhao about some interesting things about the city, and then made an appointment to attend the temple fair three days later and left.
"Master! There is a letter here. It's yours!" The attendant walked into the study and handed over the letter in his hand.
Su Yizhao took it and saw that it was actually written by Jiang Yongnian.
Opening the letter, I found that it was just some common greetings, and then it talked about the exam, asking her if it went well and how she did in the exam.
Su Yizhao felt a little guilty. After she arrived in Fucheng, she had to prepare for the exam and was disturbed by Meng Lingxi's literary struggle. She had been living a fulfilling life, but she forgot to write to this boy.
In ancient times, carriages and horses were slow, and so were letters.
Jiang Yongnian was probably not sure about the day when the letter would arrive and whether the results of the county examination would be released, so he read between the lines with some caution.
Meng Lingxi was also mentioned, saying that this person and the family behind him had deep calculations, so Su Yizhao had to be careful in dealing with him.
It seems that this letter was written by Jiang Yongnian after he learned about her literary fight with Meng Lingxi. At that time, the attempt to frame Su's imperial examination fraud had not yet occurred.
Su Yizhao wrote to write a reply, intending to tell the other party about her recent situation. But halfway through writing, she thought it would be better to wait until the results were released before replying!
If there is good news, she can be the first to share it with her friends.
After putting the letter away, Su Yizhao prepared the things he needed to go up the mountain tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Su Yizhao did not see Su Wenqing, so he informed Uncle Zhong, left his attendant at the house, got on the carriage and left the house.
After asking the coachman to drive the carriage to Nanshi, Su Yizhao got off the carriage and went to Cloth Shop to buy a pair of coarse cloth clothes. After changing into them, he took a detour and rented a carriage with a basket on his back.
He went to the meat stall and bought thirty kilograms of meat. Su Yizhao carried a heavy basket on his back, found another carriage, and drove towards Fuyan Mountain.
The last time she was kidnapped, she escaped from the tiger's mouth with the help of Xiaoqing, Qing Niangzi, and Ahua.
I haven't seen each other for more than two years, and I don't know how they are doing.
After an hour and a half, the carriage arrived at the foot of Fuyan Mountain. Su Yizhao, who had agreed with Xiaoqing and the others as a signal to meet again, stood where he was and stopped climbing the mountain.
He took out his whistle and blew it several times, then sat under a big tree and waited.
It is now late February, and the weather is not that cold anymore. When the weather gets warmer in early March, more tourists will go hiking in the countryside.
It's just that there are too many trees in the mountains and it's a bit cold. Su Yizhao waited for about a quarter of an hour before he heard the sound of "bah".
She was overjoyed, it must be Xiaoqing and the others.
Seeing the green figure emerging from the grass and crawling to her feet, Su Yizhao shouted happily: "It's Xiaoqing."
She took a look at Xiao Qing and found that Xiao Qing had grown up a lot, and the snake's body was much thicker than before.
Xiaoqing was also very happy and said: "Why are you here? I thought you would never come again."
"I told you before that I would come to see you, why didn't you come?" Su Yizhao looked around and was a little confused when he didn't see Madam Qing.
"Where is Madam Qing? Why haven't you seen him?" Su Yizhao asked.
"Mom, it's dead!" Xiaoqing said sadly when talking about her mother.
"What's going on?" Su Yizhao was very surprised, but then he thought, more than two years have passed, has the young lady reached her end?
The facts are consistent with Su Yizhao's guess, Qing Niangzi died of old age because Qing Niangzi was already seven years old.
Su Yizhao felt very sorry and comforted Xiaoqing.
Birth, aging, illness and death are all natural laws. Humans have a long life span, which can last for decades, but small snakes like Qing Niangzi have a very short life span.
Xiao Qing said that he has lived for seven years, which is considered a long time. His father died two years ago, and he was only five years old when he died.
Su Yizhao couldn't help feeling a little sad when he thought that Xiaoqing would be over six years old when he returned to Fucheng next time.
At that time, I didn’t know if Xiaoqing was still there.
While one man and one snake were talking, they heard a loud noise.
The bushes on the side swayed from side to side, making a "swishing" sound. Then, a fit leopard emerged from it.
"It's really you who is here. I heard the whistle and thought I heard it wrong." Ahua said happily.
Su Yizhao stepped forward, patted Ahua's stocky body, and said with a smile, "Ahua, you have become stronger again. How have you been in the past two years?"
"Of course, it tastes delicious." Leopard said proudly.
Suddenly, it seemed to smell the smell of blood, so it looked towards Su Yizhao's backpack.
Su Yizhao quickly took out the meat from the basket, "This is the meat I brought for you, and some pastries for you to try."
Seeing a large pile of meat on the ground, Ahua and Xiaoqing were very happy.
"It's just that I'm small and can't carry heavy things on my back. I'll bring you some other food next time, so you can make do with these."
Su Yizhao knew that Ahua had a huge appetite, so much was not enough for a leopard.
That said, I also want to leave some of it for Xiaoqing.
Su Yizhao told them some interesting stories outside the mountains. They listened attentively and looked yearning.
She thought, Ah Hua was too big to be taken out of the mountain, but Xiao Qing was very small, so it was better to take her out and let her see the outside world.
"Look! Xiangsi follows me everywhere, which is much more interesting than staying in the mountains."
At this time, Xiangsi also came out to join in the fun, and Su Yizhao pointed at it and said.
"Yeah! It's much more interesting outside. What's in the mountains? It's so boring!"
Xiangsi has lived in the mansion since she was a child. There are people everywhere in the mansion, so she doesn't find the outside world scary. She is used to it.
But Xiaoqing has been in the mountains since he was a child. Although he is very interested in the market that Su Yizhao mentioned, he still doesn't dare to go to places with too many people.
It finally shook its head and said, "I still won't go. I'm used to life in the mountains. There is a motherly atmosphere here. I will feel at ease if I stay here."
It thinks of its nest and still doesn't want to leave.
Although Su Yizhao felt a little regretful, he no longer forced it.
After one person and three chatted for a while, Su Yizhao took out the herbal illustration.
Now that we are all here, we naturally cannot leave empty-handed.
Ahua is the dominant figure in the mountains. She often runs in the mountains and is very impressed with fungi.
It's a pity that the ginseng is buried in the soil, and Ahua has no impression of the small red beads on it. It usually doesn't pay attention to these.
"I have seen this bead before." Xiao Qing glanced at the red bead and finally recalled it.
Su Yizhao was very happy, rode on Ahua's back, and headed towards the location of these herbs.
Halfway through, Su Yizhao still felt a little regretful. Ahua didn't have the habit of rhubarb, so she always left the prey she caught on the spot and never dragged it back to the cave.
