After a whole day of exams, when the bell rang to end the exam, Chen'er walked out of the exam room in high spirits.
Seeing his appearance from a distance, Yang Ruoqing's mood suddenly became clear, and she quickly ran up to him.
As soon as Chen'er came out, she grabbed Chen'er's hand and pulled him here: "Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Are you exhausted? Let's go to the restaurant over there. Mom has booked a private room. Order. All of them are your favorite dishes!"
Chen'er said: "I wasn't hungry at first, but now I suddenly want to eat something."
Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded repeatedly.
On the side, Luo Fengtang smiled and said: "Is there another one in the afternoon?"
Chen'er turned his head and nodded respectfully towards Luo Fengtang, saying: "To be precise, the afternoon session is not a competition, but an interview."
"Interview?" Luo Fengtang raised his eyebrows.
Chen'er said: "We divide our candidates into several groups, and then go to a large classroom in order. There, the examiner will ask each candidate three questions in turn."
"You can only pass the interview with a correct answer, or an answer that satisfies the examiner. This score will be included in the scores of the first three tests and will be used as a reference score for candidates to be shortlisted."
"Of course, in order to make this trip worthwhile, the academy will also ask each candidate to ask a question from the examiner." Chen'er said.
Luo Fengtang listened attentively and said: "Well, every gentleman in Yingtian Academy is a great Confucian scholar in Da Qi, a talented person, and a knowledgeable person who is well-versed in all aspects."
"Even if those candidates cannot get into Yingtian Academy in the end, they must be able to come and take the exam and get an opportunity to consult with these great scholars in person, they must have benefited a lot!" He said.
Chen'er nodded slightly, but when he turned around, the corners of his lips curved slightly.
The so-called great Confucians are not necessarily know-it-alls. If they are only proficient in books and cannot combine theory with reality for the benefit of the people and themselves,
So, these great scholars are just books that can walk around and eat, drink and poop!
When we arrived at the restaurant, we had a delicious meal and took a nap in the private room at noon. In the afternoon, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang sent Chen'er to the examination room again.
Chen'er entered the examination room and the academy door was locked tightly.
Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing, like the countless parents outside who were taking exams, found corners, shades of trees, and stools in front of small vendors, standing or sitting, talking in low voices, but looking towards the college gate from time to time.
Yang Ruoqing looked at herself and Luo Fengtang, who were wearing simple and plain clothes, standing on the street. Except for their appearance and temperament, which were better than those around them, they were really ordinary.
If the people here knew that the person standing with them taking the exam right now was the majestic General Protecting the Country, they would probably be so shocked that their jaws dropped, right?
Hahaha, the Protector General’s identity is on the battlefield and in the court.
After returning from the battlefield, retreating from the court and returning home, he takes off his official uniform and puts on his family robes. He is a husband and a father who accompanies the exam.
"Tangyaozi, what are your plans after Chen'er's exam results come out?" The waiting process is always boring. Yang Ruoqing moved to sit next to Luo Fengtang and asked with a smile.
Luo Fengtang withdrew his gaze from the college gate and said, "My plans are all with you, Qing'er, and you have the final say. However,"
"But what?" Yang Ruoqing asked curiously.
She just said that everything has the final say, so are we going to add conditions?
She suppressed her laughter and asked.
Luo Fengtang said: "I haven't seen my daughter for a long time, and I dreamed about it last night..."
Yang Ruoqing was startled. It turned out that he missed Luo Baobao.
To be honest, she also missed her daughter. In the capital, whenever she saw a little girl about the same age as Luo Baobao on the street, she would think of her daughter thousands of miles away.
And ambition...
"Tang Yaozi, this is my plan. Listen and see if it works!" Yang Ruoqing said.
"My plan is, if Chen'er gets admitted this time, he will naturally stay in the capital to study,"
"Although our Uncle Zhongyong's mansion is about to be repaired, I don't feel comfortable letting Chen'er live there alone, and it will be lonely and deserted."
"I plan to let Chen'er stay with Da'an, let Chen'er stay with his grandma and uncle and aunt, so that they can take care of each other, and then we can feel at ease when we return to the village, don't you think so?" she asked.
Luo Fengtang nodded: "Even if we let Chen'er live in our own Uncle Zhongyong's mansion, my mother-in-law will probably not agree. When she comes to the capital, she will definitely take care of Chen'er's daily life."
Yang Ruoqing agreed, and Mrs. Sun was sure that her grandson was her heart and soul.
"If Chen'er fails the exam, then our family of three will go back to the village together. It's that simple." Yang Ruoqing continued.
Luo Fengtang raised his eyebrows, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
"No matter whether Chen'er can pass the exam or not, I will give him a gift when he finishes the exam. This is a rare thing," he said.
"Ah? Do you still have something rare? Where is it? Bring it to me and take a look!" Yang Ruoqing suddenly became interested, grabbed his arm and asked quickly.
Luo Fengtang smiled and said: "I originally wanted to endure it for a few more days before telling you, but I really can't bear it anymore."
He took something out of his arms and handed it to Yang Ruoqing.
"Huh? Pocket watch?"
Yang Ruoqing recognized what was in front of her at a glance.
This is a pocket watch, and its origin should be the overseas country of Great Britain, because there is an English sentence written on it.
The chest has stopped moving. It is probably loose at the back. Just tighten it later and she will fix it.
"What? Qing'er, do you know this novelty?" Luo Fengtang asked in surprise.
This pocket watch was given to him by a businessman from another country when he saved his life in the southwest.
Three gifts were given at that time, and the pocket watch was one of them.
He asked himself that this was the first time he had seen this strange thing. It was said that he could use it to judge the time more accurately than an hourglass.
How does Qing'er know this?
"Qing'er, have you seen this thing before?" Luo Fengtang asked again.
Yang Ruoqing recovered from the shock and quickly changed her words: "Well, when I was doing business, I saw someone else using it once."
"Tangyaozi, where did you get this pocket watch? Well, you kept it from me for so long!"
She quickly changed the subject, deliberately lowered her face, and pretended to be questioning.
Luo Fengtang smiled and told Yang Ruoqing the origins of these objects.
"At that time, in order to thank me, the foreign businessman gave me three gifts." He continued.
"One is a pocket watch, another is a telescope, and the third is a box of chocolates."
"Because of that box of chocolates, I finally figured out what materials I should use to make the missing chocolates when I proposed to you, so I sent you the cocoa tree..."
