Early in the morning, Jiang Xiaohua and her group went to the gate of Gongyuan to pick up people.
Uncle Lin bought a lot of food early, saying that he wanted to give Jiang Xiaolangjun a good supplement.
There were many people outside the gate of Gongyuan.
Layer after layer.
There are many carriages on the outermost edge.
Jiang Xiaohua originally thought of just waiting outside.
People will come out sooner or later, there is no need to squeeze in.
Xiaoba had never seen Jiang Hongzhi before, but she was even more excited than her sister. She grabbed Jiang Xiaohua's hand and with her brute strength, she squeezed to the front.
"Little master, which one is your eldest brother?"
Jiang Xiaohua was so squeezed that she was covered in sweat: "Don't worry, big brother hasn't come out yet!"
Xiaoba let out a disappointed sound.
Jiang Xiaohua was worried about the makeup on her face: "Xiaoba, you block me while I put on makeup."
Jiang Xiaohua whispered.
What I was thinking of was that Xiaoba was tall and strong, so it was just right to stand behind Xiaoba.
In the end, Xiaoba pulled Jiang Xiaohua to the front, circled his hands, and hugged the person to his chest: "You go ahead and draw it!"
Jiang Xiaohua likes this about Xiaoba.
Sincerity!
No one noticed me here.
Jiang Xiaohua took out the ointment and applied it on her face.
At midnight, the door of Gongyuan opened, and several guards stood on the left and right.
After some time, some candidates came out.
The candidates who came out all looked tired.
One exam almost cost these people half their lives.
Xiaoba pulled Jiang Xiaohua and stood near the entrance of Gongyuan. After waiting for a while, Jiang Xiaohua saw her elder brother Jiang Hongzhi coming out.
Unlike other scholars, the eldest brother Jiang Hongzhi is in good spirits.
Jiang Xiaohua let go of Xiaoba's hand and stepped forward.
"Brother! Big brother! This way, this way!"
Jiang Hongzhi saw his little sister and came over: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Jiang Xiaohua shook her head: "We just arrived not long ago!"
Xiao Ba looked down at his dropped hand and was stunned for a while, then looked up at his young master talking and laughing with the man named Jiang Hongzhi.
I felt a little sour in my heart.
His face was pitiful.
It's the kind of pitiful feeling of being abandoned.
When other scholars come out, family members rush up to them, and the first thing they ask is: "How did the exam go?"
Jiang Xiaohua asked: "Brother, are you tired? Go back and have a good rest for a few days!"
Jiang Hongzhi smiled and said: "I'm not tired!"
The brother and sister walked out while talking.
When turning around, Jiang Xiaohua reached out and pulled Xiaoba.
Xiaoba's eyes fell on Jiang Xiaohua's hand holding her, and she almost instantly forgot about the previous unhappy things.
He smiled and followed suit.
A few people just squeezed out of the crowd.
The uncle and the third uncle gathered around him. The uncle patted his son on the shoulder and moved his mouth, but did not ask any questions for a long time.
It was the eldest brother Jiang Hongzhi who knew what his father wanted to ask, so he smiled and said, "I did pretty well in the exam this time!"
The uncle and the third uncle looked at each other and immediately laughed.
I didn’t ask any more questions after that.
He hugged Jiang Hongzhi and walked back.
Suddenly a voice from the side shouted: "Brother Jiang, stay!"
Jiang Hongzhi turned around and saw Su Yu'an, and asked with a smile: "Yu'an, is there something wrong?"
Su Yuan's eyes swept across Jiang Xiaohua's face.
Following Su Yu'an were seven or eight scholars.
"Brother Jiang, there is a poetry party tomorrow at Yunxi Pavilion in the west of the city, and I would like to invite you to come with us."
Jiang Hongzhi thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I won't go. After half a day's rest, I will be ready to go home."
Su Yu'an probably didn't expect that Jiang Hongzhi would go back so early: "You're leaving just after the exam. You've been here since you came. Let's play for a few more days!"
Jiang Hongzhi smiled and shook his head: "There are many things at home, so I won't go!"
After Su Yu'an left, Jiang Xiaohua asked: "Brother, don't you need to rest for a few days?"
"No, I'm not tired at all!"
"Okay, I'll ask Uncle Lin to help find a caravan soon. It's safer for us to follow the caravan."
Return to the quiet little courtyard.
"Brother, do you want to eat or take a bath first?" Jiang Xiaohua asked.
Jiang Hongzhi: “Let’s take a shower first!”
By the time Jiang Hongzhi came out after bathing and changed into clean clothes, Uncle Lin had already laid out a table of delicious dishes.
Have breakfast with Jiang Hongzhi.
Xiao Ba looked at the table full of food and swallowed, and asked Jiang Xiaohua in a low voice: "Little master, can I have one more meal today?"
"Are you hungry?" Jiang Xiaohua asked.
Xiaoba shook his head: "I'm not hungry, but I want to eat!"
"Then let's eat. Uncle Lin has made such a big table, and even my eldest brother can't finish it! You can help me finish half of it."
The young master agreed.
Xiaoba wouldn't ask any more questions about other people, he just took the chopsticks and started eating hard.
Jiang Hongzhi asked with his eyes.
Jiang Xiaohua introduced: "Xiaoba, you will be our own family from now on!"
"How old are you?" Jiang Hongzhi asked.
"sixteen!"
Jiang Hongzhi glanced at the girl who was immersed in cooking, but he didn't expect that she was younger than him.
Then he asked: "Is there anyone else at home?"
Jiang Xiaohua shook her head: "She has lost her parents since she was a child, and she grew up eating the food of hundreds of families. Later, she was sent to the Yu family in the north of the city because she couldn't support her. The Yu family felt that Xiaoba was too sincere and didn't want her, so I took her with her.
came back."
Jiang Hongzhi cursed, "It's too delicious!"
This was the first time he saw such a delicious girl.
Xiaoba, a jobber, was there with him.
Jiang Hongzhi ate one more bowl of rice than usual.
Xiao Ba stared at the last piece of meat on the plate, moved his fingers, and raised his head. This was the first time Xiao Ba looked at Jiang Xiaohua's elder brother after entering the room.
Those eyes were wide open.
Jiang Hongzhi could clearly hear the sound of the strong girl across from him swallowing her saliva, and then his eyes swept around the table.
She ate most of the food on the table.
not enough!
Jiang Hongzhi has never seen such a girl.
For some reason, he subconsciously thought of teasing her, so he moved the chopsticks slowly over, and he was about to pick up the piece of meat.
Unexpectedly, Xiaoba's chopsticks are faster.
He quickly picked up the meat, but in just a moment, Xiaoba threw the meat into his mouth.
Xiaoba tightened his mouth.
Jiang Hongzhi couldn't hold it back and laughed softly several times.
Jiang Xiaohua is also happy.
Xiaoba really doesn't recognize her relatives when it comes to eating.
It's no wonder that her family doesn't want her anymore.
After finishing breakfast with her elder brother Jiang Hongzhi, Jiang Xiaohua dragged Xiaoba away, leaving her uncle and third uncle to talk to her elder brother.
Jiang Xiaohua took Xiaoba out.
Gu San was waiting outside the alley with his carriage.
"Where to go?" Gu San asked.
“Chengxiyun Inn!”
"Do you know the people there?" Gu Sanlue asked in surprise.
Jiang Xiaohua raised her eyebrows: "You don't know."
Gu San nodded: "That's the Wen family's territory!"
All right!
It seems that he really knows.
Jiang Xiaohua said: "I don't want to go and ask, I want to find a caravan to go back with!"
"Leaving now?"
"Otherwise! After all, you are staying in someone else's home. It's not appropriate to stay for a long time!"
"That person surnamed Lin almost treats you like your granddaughter!"
"You can't live there forever!"
"when are we leaving?"
"This afternoon."
"So urgent!"
"You also need to tidy up. Come to me at noon and tell me that your work has been done. Come and ask when you are leaving."
