When they reached Shishi Street, Wu Jin's "hmm" sound disappeared.
Taking a deep breath, he barely held up the umbrella with one hand and put his other hand on Wu Yi's shoulder. Wu Yi resisted him with all his strength, only hating that he was small and couldn't carry Wu Jin home.
Neighbors on Shishi Street poked their heads in and asked questions along the way. Wu Yi answered randomly and brought his brother into the house in one go.
It was rare for the family to get up early to light the lamp. Wu's mother was so busy that she was sweating. Wu's father sat on the porch and waited anxiously. When he saw Wu Jin coming back, he immediately shouted to the kitchen: "The boss is back!"
Wu's mother rushed out of the kitchen, still holding a spatula in her hand. Seeing that Wu Jin looked tired, she quickly put the spatula into Wu's father's hand, stepped forward to help Wu Jin into the house, and asked him to sit down.
Wu Jin was next to the chair and "dispersed" in the chair for an instant.
His body was torn apart and turned into mud that could not be squeezed. He was overwhelmingly sleepy. Wu Mu's voice was in his ears and he could not hear a single word clearly.
He just fell asleep.
This time he was almost unconscious. He didn't even have a dream, and he didn't know how long he had slept. When he slowly opened his eyes, he saw that there was still an oil lamp burning on the table, but the light was weak and dim, and everything in front of him still looked like it was shaking.
It's in a dream.
Wu's mother had a sewing basket on her lap and was mending Wu Yi's clothes. Wu's father sat aside, picking out the sundries in the sugar. Wu Yi was bitter and resentful, and buried his head in endorsing the book.
Wu Jin moved slightly and blinked hard. This time he could see clearly. Wu Yi stared at the book and gritted his teeth, as if he had a grudge against the book. The words on the paper also showed an indifferent attitude as if they didn't know each other.
This time he woke up completely, reached out to lift the quilt covering his body, and sat upright.
As soon as he moved, Wu's father and Wu's mother both looked over.
Mother Wu immediately put down her sewing basket, stood up and said, "Boss is awake, let's eat now."
She moved the quilt away from Wu Jin and folded it on the bed: "You must be exhausted. I also boiled hot water. After dinner, I will take a good bath and go to bed to have a good sleep."
Father Wu stretched out his hand to pick up the lamp. The lamp flickered and the room immediately became brighter: "Second brother, go help your mother serve the food."
Wu Yi stood up with relief, put the book on the cabinet beside him, and ran to the kitchen: "Brother, if you don't get up, I'm going to starve to death."
"Dad, haven't you eaten yet?" Wu Jin stood up and moved his hands and feet, walked to the door and looked outside, and saw that the wind and rain outside had stopped, the sky was dark green, a full moon was above, everything was quiet, it was already late at night.
Father Wu put away the sugar: "We are not hungry. You didn't come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival yesterday, so you specially saved this reunion dinner for today."
While they were talking, Wu Mu and Wu Yi couldn't help but bring the dishes over. Ling Ling Zongzong made six bowls, four of which were filled with meat, one vegetable, one soup, and a large pot of steamed rice, without adding any whole grains, which was full.
A table was set up.
The food is warm in the pot and steaming hot.
Wu's mother filled a bowl of soup and handed it to Wu Jin: "Drink the soup first. I bought the big bones today and stewed them in the morning."
Wu's father and mother kept bringing him vegetables, piling up the bowl into a mountain. Wu Yi originally wanted to give his brother something to eat, but his parents' chopsticks made it airtight, and there was really no room for him to do anything, so he had to give up and eat it himself.
The food is round and round.
Wu Jin had eaten, taken a bath, and looked brand new. He lit a lamp in the room, spread out the paper, and wrote: "On August 16, the 22nd year of Yuan Zhang, the interpretation test ended."
He wrote down the three test questions and his answers roughly in the diary. He did not stop writing until the sound of the watch and the sound of the clapper at midnight.
The next day, he got up very early and sent Wu Yi to study as usual - Wu Yi didn't expect that his free time would be so short. He immediately dropped his head and tried to fight to the death: "Brother, you just finished the exam, please rest for a few more days."
Well, I heard Liu Bowen say that after his brother finished the exam, he couldn't feel relieved for half a month."
Wu Jin was unmoved and took him to Mengxue by force while he went to Mo Mansion.
The wind and rain last night did not leave any trace on the Mo Mansion Garden. He stepped into the courtyard gate of Jiusixuan with one foot. Before he could lift the other foot, he suddenly heard a roar. He didn't know it was from Mo Mansion in the distance.
From which corner is it coming?
He turned his head and looked around, and saw thick clouds of black smoke billowing from the tea room on the left side of Mo Mansion, sand and gravel flying, but no fire.
The servants of the Mo Mansion were well trained. Even if they didn't see Xing Xingzi, they all took action, picked up the bucket and headed to the tea and dining room.
At the same time, two people walked against the current and stood in front of Wu Jin staggeringly. Their black eyebrows and black mouth looked like two donkey dung eggs.
Wu Jin was stunned and watched helplessly as one of the donkey dung eggs spoke: "Wu Jin."
Wu Jin was already suspicious that one of them was Mo Lingfeng, but when he heard the voice, he was sure it was Mo Lingfeng and became even more surprised.
Before he could finish being surprised, another donkey dung egg opened his mouth, his voice hoarse and quacking like a duck: "Qi Chang! Get some water!"
"Cheng Ting?" Wu Jin looked over doubtfully, "Aren't you in Jeju?"
Cheng Ting walked into Jiusixuan, got into the flower hall, stood in front of the net rack, rolled up his sleeves, and washed his face first: "Don't mention it, I was almost burned to death. I didn't take a test, and a fire broke out. Thanks to my fate, I escaped.
Very fast."
He rubbed his face hard, and while changing the handkerchief, he said to Wu Jin who came in: "I really want to take the exam myself, otherwise Mr. Zhao would think he taught very well!"
He wiggled his two dark nostrils: "I'm just unlucky, otherwise the stove would collapse if I were making mooncakes with Leaf - Qi Chang, bring me another basin and see what your girls have become."
That’s it.”
Qi Chang hurriedly went to get the wooden basin and then the bath beans. Mo Lingfeng washed them carefully. After washing, they both went to change their clothes. When they came back, they saw Wu Jin closing her eyes in the flower hall filled with the scent of bath beans.
Rest your mind, breakfast has been placed on the table. It looks like it is just three bowls of noodles and a few small plates. In fact, there are meat and vegetables, sweet and salty, sour and spicy.
Cheng Ting stopped talking and laughing and kicked the big yellow dog: "Go to the garden."
The big yellow dog ignored him and went to the inner tea restaurant on his own initiative to watch the fun.
Wu Jin was not asleep. When he heard Cheng Ting speak, he opened his eyes, got up and dressed, and said to Cheng Ting: "I'm not sleeping. Come in and have breakfast."
Cheng Ting had already smelled the aroma of mutton, sat down in the chair, picked up chopsticks and started eating noodles. Mo Lingfeng also sat in, picked up a big tea cup and drank a sip of lychee water.
The three of them sat eating and drinking to each other without saying a word. After eating, Qi Chang came in to clean up the mess like a little daughter-in-law, while the three of them moved to the studio to watch Wu Jin silently answer the questions.
Wu Jin was silent for a moment, and then Zhao Shiheng came.
"Lingfeng," Zhao Shiheng entered the studio. He didn't look at Wu Jin who was saluting, or Cheng Ting who was funny, but only looked at Mo Lingfeng. "Go back to your long-term residence and change your clothes. The imperial envoy has come from Kyoto.
The edict is issued, specifying that you and your brother should receive the order together."
