Chapter 1, please pink at the end of the month.⊥,

...

The gifts prepared by Mr. Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er for Xie Huaijin were a volume of calligraphy and paintings of famous people in the previous dynasty. This was picked out by Ji Xiaotang from Mr. Ji Er's collection.

Ji Xiaotang knows Xie Huaijin's preferences best.

Xie Huaijin took the Jinqian and thanked her, her face still blushed. Although Xie Huaijin occasionally blushed, she was not like she is now. Ji Xiaotang thought to herself, maybe it was because Mrs. Xie always teased him today.

Mrs. Xie was in a particularly good mood today.

Xie Huaijin Shunshun passed the local exam for scholars. The happiest thing is County Magistrate Xie and Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Ji was sitting on the couch and saw Xie Huaijin blushing and restrained expression, but her eyes were always on Ji Xiaotang. Ji Xiaotang was graceful and happy on her face.

Mrs. Ji Er felt aware of it. While she was busy, she asked Xie Huaijin to sit down again, and then asked Xie Huaijin about taking the exam and what happened along the way back.

Xie Huaijin answered one by one, and his face slowly returned to the right spot, and he was no longer as embarrassed as before.

Mrs. Ji Er really loves Xie Huaijin.

"You are back, although it's good to meet everyone. You will have to go back in two days. The journey is not short, and it takes a lot of trouble and thoughts. I have you, Xiaotang, brought some things from the city to clean up, and I will ask Xiaotang to pack some for you later. Even on the way, don't be bothered. Eat some every day, so you can save you the loss."

Xie Huaijin hurriedly thanked him again.

"Your aunt actually loves you more than me." Mrs. Xie smiled.

Originally, the Xie family's plan was to let Xie Huaijin take the provincial examination and come back before returning. Xie Huaijin insisted on it himself and would definitely come back at this time. Mrs. Xie knew her son's thoughts and really missed her son, so she did not reject it very much.

Mrs. Ji pulled Xie Huaijin and said a lot, and Mrs. Xie also asked Ji Xiaotang about many things in the city. When the girls brought fresh snacks, Mrs. Ji asked Ji Xiaotang to take Xie Huaijin to pay tribute to Mrs. Ji.

"The old lady has just fallen asleep, and she probably got up at this time. Xiaotang takes her there. If the old lady has not yet gotten up, you will come back." Mrs. Ji Er said.

Ji Xiaotang agreed to get up, and Xie Huaijin also got up, and the two of them came to Old Lady Ji's yard together.

"Xiaotang, I brought you a lot of fun things." After leaving Mrs. Ji Er's yard, Xie Huaijin saw that there were no outsiders on the side, only the confidant girl beside Ji Xiaotang, and almost couldn't wait to say to Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang chuckled.

"You don't have any fun things to do if you are not good at studying, taking exams, and you still have time to touch?"

"I am also concerned about the study exams, and I am also concerned about the fun things you touch, and it is not a problem." Xie Huaijin smiled and said, "You will know after a while. You will definitely like it."

Xie Huaijin said a few things and looked at Ji Xiaotang with anticipation.

Although the two of them grew older, Xie Huaijin still treated Ji Xiaotang as before. When they had something good, they were the first to think of Ji Xiaotang. When they arrived at a new place, they would touch interesting things and bring back the novel experiences to Ji Xiaotang.

What Xie Huaijin said, Ji Xiaotang would definitely like it in the past, but now Ji Xiaotang...

Although Ji Xiaotang was not very interested in it, he was very happy on his face and obviously liked it very much. What was precious has never been something, but the hearts of the people.

"I also brought some things from the city of the city for you." Ji Xiaotang also smiled and said to Xie Huaijin.

"My mother said." Xie Huaijin was very happy when she heard that Ji Xiaotang had something else for him, but she was not surprised. The two of them got along like this since childhood. "Xiaotang, you also opened a foreign goods shop in the city. My mother said she really liked the novel foreign goods you brought to her."

"It's good if my aunt likes it." Ji Xiaotang said.

"Xiaotang, you have also invested in a merchant ship going out to sea!" Xie Huaijin said again.

Before Xie Huaijin took the provincial examination, she insisted on coming back. There was another reason. Because Mrs. Xie loved her son, she always sent a message to visit Xie Huaijin. In the letter, Mrs. Xie talked about Ji Xiaotang's situation.

Ji Xiaotang did so many things when he was not with Ji Xiaotang.

Xie Huaijin's heart was a little confused. On the one hand, he was happy for Ji Xiaotang, but on the other hand, he couldn't let it go. He must come back to see Ji Xiaotang first.

"It was my uncle who invested in it, and my mother also invested some money in it." Ji Xiaotang said.

Mrs. Ji Er also invested in the stock. Of course, it was not because of Master Ji San, but it must be Ji Xiaotang's idea. It was not just Xie Huaijin, but everyone in the Xie family thought so.

"Yes, my mother also invested some money for this reason." Xie Huaijin smiled, "It's a pity that my mother told me it was too late, otherwise I would have some private rooms and I could take them out and throw them in together. ⊥,"

This is naturally for Ji Xiaotang.

"Xiaotang," Xie Huaijin suddenly became a little restrained again, "Mom said, it would be fine if the money was thrown away. If there was a profit, I would give it to you in the future..."

Xie Huaijin said this and looked at Ji Xiaotang blankly.

"Why... me..." Ji Xiaotang asked this sentence and felt aware of it. Looking at Xie Huaijin's expression, she didn't understand anything. "Oh..."

Ji Xiaotang stopped and stopped asking Mrs. Xie why she got the money to give her.

When Xie Huaijin saw that Ji Xiaotang didn't ask, he knew that Ji Xiaotang understood.

After that, there was nothing to say between the two until they reached the door of Old Mrs. Ji.

A little girl saw it and reported it to come in. Old Mrs. Ji was indeed awake, so a little girl raised the curtain and invited two people to go in.

Old Mrs. Ji was sitting on the kang, and Ji Xiaoyun was there too.

Xie Huaijin greeted Mrs. Ji, and then greeted Ji Xiaoyun.

Old Mrs. Ji was pretty good to Xie Huaijin, saying that he was very promising after passing the exam, and that he was willing to come back from a long journey and was a very filial child.

"You seem to have lost weight?" Ji Xiaoyun suddenly said.

Ji Xiaoyun almost never took the initiative to talk to Xie Huaijin. When she spoke, Xie Huaijin was slightly stunned.

After Ji Xiaoyun finished speaking, she lowered her head, as if she was very embarrassed.

After Xie Huaijin was slightly stunned, he didn't think much about it. In his eyes, although Ji Xiaoyun was Ji Xiaotang's relative's sister, her personality was completely different. Ji Xiaoyun was always so shy and a little gloomy.

"Am I lost weight? Maybe." Xie Huaijin smiled and said, "Maybe it's because of the road. Although there are family servants taking care of them, it's different from being at home."

"I've lost weight." Old Mrs. Ji glanced at Ji Xiaoyun, then looked at Xie Huaijin carefully. "It's not a big deal. At your age, I'm afraid I'm going to get a long one."

Old Mrs. Ji then asked Xie Huaijin when he would go to the provincial examination again.

Master Ji San and Xie Huaijin both participated in the county, government and hospital examinations one after another. When Master Ji Er talked about Master Ji San, he often mentioned Xie Huaijin, so Mrs. Ji knew about it.

"We will set off before July 15th." Xie Huaijin replied respectfully.

"Oh, you have just come back. Thank you for your hard work at a young age." Old Mrs. Ji sighed.

"It's not hard." As she said this, Xie Huaijin looked at Ji Xiaotang again.

This time he came back and kept his days here, mainly because he didn't want to miss Ji Xiaotang's birthday.

"There are official roads back and forth, and it's good to ride a horse and ride a car. I'm young, so these are nothing." Xie Huaijin continued to say to Old Mrs. Ji.

"He is a good kid who can succeed." Old Mrs. Ji nodded.

Front yard study room

Xie Zhixian and Master Ji Er were having a tea and chatting.

"It's a blessing for a scholar. According to my opinion, there is no need to rush for this provincial examination. It will be just right after two years. But this child is very grateful, and Brother Wenmin also makes sense. Let him try it and gain more knowledge. He just suffers some setbacks and becomes more mature in the future."

Master Ji Er nodded.

"Brother Ziqian saw very much."

After talking about Xie Huaijin, he naturally mentioned Master Ji San again.

"The third brother is still working hard?" Xie Zhixian asked Master Ji Er.

Master Ji Er nodded.

Mr. Ji San just came over to greet each other and greeted each other. After a little greeting, he went back to the library. Ms. Xie also said that he wanted to talk to Mr. Ji San about poetry, but was disconnected by Mr. Ji Er.

"Huaijin has a solid job and only suffers a loss because he is still young. The third scholar, the third scholar, has really been lucky." Master Ji Er said.

"Brother Wenmin is too humble." Xie Zhixian waved his hand and said, "We have passed the exam all the way and met many young Jinshi and Bai Tongsheng. How could there be any luck?"

Although Xie Magistrate said this, he was not unsurprising that Master Ji San won this time. He had also thought about whether Master Ji Er had thought of a way to cheat for Master Ji San, but at the same time he knew very well that this was impossible.

I only talk about the county exam, which was a question he personally gave and a test he personally presided over. He had carefully seen Master Ji San's performance in the examination room.

Master Ji San is not a quick-witted person. He did not do the test paper quickly, and the articles he wrote were not very outstanding. Moreover, he could see clearly that Master Ji San did not cheat.

As for the later government examinations and hospital examinations, Xie Zhixian would not think that Master Ji Er would help Master Ji San do anything. Master Ji Er is not a person who can do such things. Although the Ji family hopes that Master Ji San will become a talent, they will not take such risks.

Moreover, in the case of Master Ji San, Master Ji Er had only one way to cheat, which was to bribe the examiner and get the test questions first.

This is simply impossible.

"The third brother has talent, but he has never revealed it." County Magistrate Xie said.

"I'm afraid I don't have talent, but I have some luck." Master Ji Er just said.

"The next provincial examination?" Xie Zhixian asked.

"I'd better plan to let him try it, taking advantage of his luck this year and willing to focus on his studies. His temperament is unstable, who knows what will happen next year?" Master Ji Er said, "If you can pass the exam by luck this year, it will be the blessing of your ancestors. If so, it will only rely on his temperament in the future."

A scholar can also explain to the Ji family, the scholarly family and the ancestors of the Ji family.

Obviously, Master Ji Er has not given high requirements for Master Ji San.

"Xiaotang came back this time and was more generous and generous, with a very well-organized manner, and was deeply impressed by Brother Wenmin's true teachings." County Magistrate Xie praised Ji Xiaotang again.

Master Ji Er laughed.

"It's a good thing that Brother Ziqian praised him like this. I'm afraid that in the eyes of ordinary people, she is too spoiled by us."

"That's just the knowledge of a fool." County Magistrate Xie said.

Master Ji Er did not nod, but from his expression, he could see that he agreed with the words Xie Zhixian.

After talking about family affairs, the two of them turned to political affairs again.

Xie Zhixian looked around and saw that there was no one else, so he took out a document note from his sleeve and handed it to Master Ji Er.

"Brother Wenmin, take a look. How absurd is the court now!"

Seeing that Xie Zhixian was serious, Master Ji Er refused to neglect his words, so he hurriedly opened the document and read it carefully from beginning to end.

"Why did it reach this point!" Master Ji Er frowned.
