An Xili didn't know what was going on with her. Maybe she felt guilty, maybe she felt distressed, or maybe she felt the same way. How could a person who worked so hard fail.
How her father graded Gong Jin's papers, so An Xili pulled Gong Jin and ran outside, and said: "I will take you to my father, they must have made a mistake, there is no way you will fail the exam. "
Gong Jin didn't expect her to be so anxious. Tears streaming down her face were entirely because he failed the exam.
He didn't know how to explain his identity, and suddenly felt that he shouldn't lie to her. She regarded him as a scholar even more impoverished than Zou Heng.
So, after they walked a long way and avoided the crowd, Gong Jin asked her to stop and said: "Li'er, actually I took the Chunwei exam this time just to try it out. I never thought about it. When I was admitted to be an official, I wanted to test my abilities. If I didn't pass the exam, it means my abilities are not enough."
An Xili stopped crying instantly, "You don't want to be an official. What are you doing reading so many books? Mr. Zou took the exam just because he wanted to be an official. You worked so hard while selling calligraphy and painting and studying at the same time. You said you never thought about becoming an official?"
She couldn't understand, and said again: "Do you want to live in such a muddle-headed life, and you really haven't thought about the future."
Gong Jin was stunned again. He thought An Xili wouldn't think about this. He said blankly: "Do you want me to take the exam and become an official? If you hope, then I will take the exam again..."
"It's none of my business whether you want to be an official or not. That's your own business. I'm just afraid that your time will be wasted because I asked you to draw pictures. If you didn't pass the exam, I feel a little sorry for you. If it's my brother Xuan If you fail the exam, I will also be worried, you are like my brother." An Xili said.
He said: "You don't have to feel sorry for me. It's not your fault that you didn't pass the exam, it's my own fault."
His expression was a little indifferent. In these days of getting along with him, she had really always regarded him as a brother. She had never thought about the relationship between men and women.
He cupped his hands towards her again and said, "I'm going back first. Your second sister is here to see you."
After Gong Jin finished speaking, he left listlessly. He didn't care at all, but after An Xili said it, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Yes, he did not pass the exam. He had studied with Taifu Wen for so long, but he did not pass the exam. Taifu Wen must have been very disappointed when he found out.
His father would be even more disappointed if he found out.
Originally, he came to refer to it with a playful attitude, but now he realized that there were so many people worried about him if he failed to pass the exam.
On the other side, An Xiqiu walked up to her sister and saw her eyes were red, and asked, "Li'er, are you worried about Mr. Gong?"
"Who's worried about him? He's not in a hurry himself. We're in a hurry too. Second sister, let's go back home." She would never ask Gong Jin to draw pictures again.
An Xiqiu looked around again and felt that her sister was still young, so she wasn't overthinking it.
Suddenly, she saw Zou Heng standing not far away, and she nodded slightly to him as a polite return.
An Xixiu went up to say congratulations without even congratulating herself, grabbed her sister and ran away.
Here, Zou Heng has not yet reacted. Today is the first time he has seen her since those days when he was sick. She ran away as if she had seen a ghost.
In fact, he wanted to tell her that after the exam, he would return to his hometown. If she was willing, he would invite his grandmother to come to propose marriage.
Unfortunately, she still seemed to be avoiding him.
