Chang Yan, whose name was called outside, held his forehead with one hand.
"Not only us, but all boys' butts are not allowed to be seen." Xu Mo suddenly felt that compared to now, it was more satisfying to hit fifty big boards.
Fortunately, Jiang Sheng didn't ask any more questions and nodded confusedly.
Xu Mo thought she understood and smiled happily.
At this moment, Jiang Sheng sighed, "If I had known better, I wouldn't have looked at my second brother's butt. He peed behind the ruined temple once before, and I saw it. It's so round."
Xu Mo's smile froze at the corner of his mouth.
At the same time, Zheng Ruqian, who was riding the donkey, sneezed.
"Old Zheng, are you okay?" Pang Pangshan, who was also running wildly, asked in a high voice.
Zheng Ruqian waved his hands and wrapped his clothes tightly at the same time.
He wanted to rush to Fucheng as soon as possible to join his brothers and sisters. At the same time, he would see if there were any valuable things in Fucheng that he could bring back to the county seat and make a profit.
Count with your fingers.
He collected vegetables for three days in Xieyang County, took four days to deliver them to Yunshui County, collected vegetables for another three days, and transported them back to Youranju. He took a leave of absence from shopkeeper Bai and then went straight to Fucheng.
It took another five days to travel, and by the time we arrived, it was already late March.
Looking at the majestic city gate of Anshui County, Pang Pangshan can't help but marvel.
Zheng Ruqian, however, focused entirely on finding the whereabouts of his brothers and sisters.
At first, they only said they would split up and not where they would meet up.
So sloppy!
Fortunately, Zheng Ruqian is not good at anything, but he has a mouth. Everywhere he goes, he gets on his hands and knees and asks, "Do you have five children here? Four boys and one girl. Two are taller, and the other three are..." They are all quite short."
I asked all the way from the east of the city to the west of the city, and finally asked at the door of my inn.
"We do have such a guest here, but who are you?" The younger brother's big eyes were full of vigilance.
Zheng Ruqian grinned, "I am their brother."
The younger brother was hesitant and said, "I'll take you there."
The two of them walked through the upper room and passed by the lower room. They reached the end without seeing anyone.
Zheng Ruqian almost thought he had encountered Paihuazi and reminded Pang Pangshan to be ready to escape at any time.
When he finally arrived at the door of the woodshed, he was stunned.
The sun was shining brightly, and Xu Mo lay on a simple chair, supporting his body with one hand and holding a brush in the other, wandering around the snake and dragon.
Occasionally, he raised his head, glanced at Jiang Sheng who was holding a book, and coughed twice.
Jiang Sheng would wake up from his dream and quickly turn a page of the book for his elder brother to read.
"Ahem." Xu Mo coughed twice more.
Jiang Sheng didn't know why and continued to turn over one page.
Chang Yan, who was training with Fang Heng on the other side, couldn't help but remind him, "You turned two pages forward."
Jiang Sheng woke up from a dream and quickly turned back three pages to finally get it right.
Xu Mo lowered his head and continued to write quickly. Occasionally he would close his eyes and write silently, just to remember all the knowledge points in his mind.
His posture was so funny, and there was a bandage on his butt, but his motivation to learn has not weakened, and can even be called strong.
Wen Zhiyun was grinding medicinal powder in the corner and kept looking at the medical skills, as if looking for better medicine for golden sores.
The sun shone above their heads, making the simple courtyard burst into golden light.
This is the feeling that Zheng Ruqian has been missing for more than half a month. At first, he just felt empty and uncomfortable. Only at this moment did he realize that it was the solid feeling of having his family with him.
That's something no amount of money can buy.
Pang Pangshan followed him and suddenly sobbed softly, "Old Zheng, I miss my brothers."
Zheng Ruqian pursed his lips.
At this time, everyone in the courtyard was startled by the voice. Jiang Sheng was the first to jump up. When she saw Zheng Ruqian, her eyes lit up and she thought she wanted to pounce on him. However, she suddenly remembered something and stood there timidly.
This is not in line with my sister's character.
Zheng Ruqian didn't know that when Jiang Sheng saw him, he thought of his round butt again and felt embarrassed.
"Little Jiang Sheng." Zheng Ruqian stretched out his arms, "Why don't you miss me?"
I think, I want to die.
At this moment, all the assholes and male and female defenses were forgotten.
Jiang Sheng rushed into Zheng Ruqian's arms like a pop, first she hugged his neck and jumped forward. With her legs entangled like this, she was instantly hanging on his waist.
"Second brother, why are you here?" The little girl moaned twice.
Zheng Ruqian smiled widely, "Why don't you come here? Why do you live in a woodshed? Don't you have enough money?"
Speaking of money, Jiang Sheng jumped down quickly.
Zheng Ruqian then freed up his hand, took out the newly earned ten taels of silver from his pocket, and handed it to her.
Jiang Sheng couldn't help but explain, "The rooms here are too expensive, but there happens to be a cheap firewood shed, so we can live here."
Zheng Ruqian's expression paused.
The essence of saving money is just because there is not enough money.
It seems he has to work harder.
"Brother, what an ass." Zheng Ruqian turned his attention to Xu Mo again, "Can I still take part in the imperial examination in April?"
"You have to participate even if you can't participate." Jiang Sheng hid the money back in his small purse.
And explained what happened in the middle of the month.
The difficulty of the case made all the brothers except Jiang Sheng feel heavy, especially Xu Mo, whose butt was so rotten, he still insisted on learning to read after bandaging it.
But he was really tired, and it was too difficult to hold a book in one hand and a pen in the other. In order to make it easier for him, Jiang Sheng offered to serve as a bookshelf and provide book-turning services for his elder brother.
Just stick with it until now.
The wound on Xu Mo's butt has gradually scabbed over, but it is still a bit difficult to sit for a long exam.
In order to find a more effective medicine for gold sores, Wen Zhiyun searched ancient books sleeplessly, and bags under his eyes grew.
Everyone is working hard for the exam in April.
Needless to say, Xu Mo did not only sleep, eat, but also study.
When Zheng Ruqian was wandering around Fucheng looking for business opportunities, he found a soft butt pad for Xu Mo and spent a lot of money to buy it back.
When Wen Zhiyun went out to buy medicine, he bumped into Wu Suowei, who grabbed him and rubbed his face for a long time, and exchanged it for a bottle of high-quality gold sore medicine.
After applying it to Xu Mo, it was indeed more comfortable and the healing speed was faster.
Finally April has arrived.
The wound on Xu Mo's butt has scabbed over, and the gauze does not need to be changed every day.
Wen Zhiyun specially applied a thick layer of gold sore medicine on him and wrapped it with two more layers of gauze to prevent new cracks from appearing on the wound these days.
Jiang Sheng packed up food, drinks, pens, ink, paper and inkstones for his eldest brother just like he did during the last county exam, and finally stuffed the soft butt pad on the chamber pot.
The prefecture examination is different from the county examination.
The county examination is held for five consecutive days, and you can go home every day.
However, during the imperial examination, he had to live in the Gongyuan for three days without rest, eating, drinking, and having sex.
But the government examination is also safer. It is said that there are at least a dozen yamen officers patrolling back and forth, so there will be no chance of scrambling for papers.
It was early April, the beginning of the government examination.
Under the gaze of his younger brothers and sisters, Xu Mo limped into the Gongyuan carrying a small basket.
