As the gate of Gongyuan opened, the tense brothers also let out a sigh of relief.
Zheng Ruqian was the first to joke, "I don't know if the eldest brother was beaten half of the body, or if he was thrown to the ground."
"Maybe he stumbled, or was framed for cheating." Chang Yan answered.
The tricks they encountered in the Tongsheng Examination five years ago were so easy to say now.
Only the pale-faced Wen Zhiyun remained silent, searching the crowd with his eyes.
They saw Qi Huai, An Jun, countless students passing by, and finally found Xu Mo standing upright in the crowd.
The young man's demeanor was as usual. He was neither embarrassed by being deliberately embarrassed nor panicked after being plotted. Instead, he had an indescribable sense of solemnity.
Behind him were two government officials, holding knives to avoid the crowd and carry out the protection work to the end.
"I was not embarrassed." Jiang Sheng became happy, "Dad's instructions worked. The Fang family did not embarrass my eldest brother."
To be precise, Fang Yuan's conspiracy failed, and the Fang family did not use any other conspiracy.
But is this really a good thing?
The originally relaxed brothers all became solemn as they watched Xu Mo, who was equally solemn, bid farewell to the yamen servant and walked over slowly.
"Brother." Jiang Sheng was held down just as he was about to rush over.
Chang Yan held her with one hand, looked around, and just said, "Go home first."
The brothers and sisters got into the carriage one after another. Zheng Ruqian picked up the riding crop and knocked the red-maned horse on the butt.
One person is sitting outside driving the car, while five people are sitting inside to discuss things, which has become a rare mode of getting along with them.
"What's wrong with you guys?" Jiang Sheng sensed something was wrong, "Brother, nothing happened. Shouldn't you be happy?"
Chang Yan shook his head.
No, no.
When it comes to aristocratic families, when looking at things, you should not just stare at the superficial surface, but should think deeply and thoroughly.
Everyone in Fengjing City knew that the Fang family had a grudge against Xu Mo. Both parties were determined to win the first place in the joint examination, and such friction occurred before the examination.
According to normal logic, the Fang family will not let Xu Mo go, and will definitely rack their brains to cause trouble and try every means to sabotage the meeting.
But they didn't.
It was just a conspiracy with unknown results before the exam, but the Fang family did nothing and allowed Xu Mo to take action. Then they could only be holding back a big move.
Once released, it can destroy the world and defeat the Xu Mo brothers and sisters.
"Could it be the same as last time, using Transcript Student to manipulate and unknowingly switch the papers of the eldest brother and Fang Yuan?" Chang Yan murmured, then quickly shook his head, "Using the same trick twice is too simple. .”
The siblings are not fools, and they have already responded to similar handwriting.
For example, in the past six months, Xu Mo has been diligently practicing another type of handwriting. Every time he writes, the paper he writes will be thrown into the bottom of Aunt Zhang's pot, and it will never appear in the ashes.
The new handwriting is not enough to write with style, but it is no problem to answer the article neatly.
No matter how many transcription students the Fang family bribed, they would never be able to pick out Xu Mo's article from the unknown papers.
"Are they trying to kill my eldest brother?" Fang Heng, who had experienced the pursuit, clenched his fists. "They wanted to kill me back then, and they still want to use this trick now?"
But they are no longer the immature children of around ten years old.
Behind Xu Mo stood the Dou family, the Qi family, and the Zhao family, behind Jiang Sheng stood the Jiang family and the Yao family, Fang Heng was also a team leader with three hundred soldiers, Wen Zhiyun's medical girl gradually penetrated into major aristocratic families, and Zheng Ruqian also took over. A job dedicated to providing lychees.
They don't have the fire to cook the oil, but they will never tolerate bullying.
What's more, there are countless people in Fengjing who are watching this test and every move of the Fang family.
"It shouldn't cost me my life." Xu Mo finally spoke, his voice was cold and indifferent, "Before the results of the general examination come out, if the Fang family really persecuted me, it would be equivalent to committing imperial examination fraud."
There is a loophole in what I say.
When Jiang Sheng finally had the guts to go ahead of his brothers, "Then after the exam is over, can I persecute my eldest brother?"
She smiled with a cracked mouth, like a puppy that occasionally does the right thing and looks forward to being patted on the head by its owner.
Chang Yan couldn't bear the blow and could only nod vaguely.
"Idiot Jiang Sheng, how is this possible?" Zheng Ruqian was shouting outside to cause havoc, "Big brother has already won the competition, so why are they persecuting me so much?"
Yes, the two parties compete over and over again just for the top spot.
Jiang Sheng wilted again, like an eggplant beaten by frost, dejected.
Although she also feels that she is quite smart, she is always a little worse than her brothers, just a little bit.
"Okay, okay, the general examination will end in six days. Even if the Fang family is persecuted, it will be after six days. Don't rush to discuss countermeasures." Xu Mo interrupted with a smile, "On the other hand, Xiaosi, why is he so weak? What happened?"
Wen Zhiyun didn't speak since he left Famen Temple, and he didn't speak when he saw Xu Mo. He seemed to be full of worries or suppressing something.
"Xiaosi, are your brothers bullying you?" Xu Mo touched his head, "If you have anything unhappy, tell me about it."
Wen Zhiyun pursed his lips, his chin was white and pointed, and his whole person exuded an aura of pity.
"Brother, let me tell you." Jiang Sheng volunteered, "Fourth brother is tired. We went to Famen Temple today, and many things happened..."
She told the story of the exchange of children between the three families of Liao, Lu, and Jiang, which was full of ups and downs and thrilling, no less than the storyteller at the tea stall.
The little girl's speech was clear and her lips were sharp. She had no consciousness that she was talking about her own affairs, and Xu Mo was stunned.
"Later, the third lady sprained her ankle. The fourth brother was probably too tired to save her." Jiang Sheng scratched his head, "But isn't the sprain easy to treat? If the fourth brother is so tired, is he too weak?"
Wen Zhiyun couldn't give this answer, so he ducked and lowered his head.
Xu Mo saw something was wrong and calmly changed the topic again, "Then you haven't had lunch yet? You must be starving."
"Yeah, I'm starving, but we want to wait for you to eat together." Someone yelled with a belly, "I hope aunt has prepared the meal and starts eating it when we get home."
Just as he was talking, the carriage stopped.
Zheng Ruqian stood up from the carriage and tied the rope. Zhang Xianglian, who heard the movement, rushed over to open the door.
"You're back, have you eaten? There's chicken stewed with mushrooms in the pot." She asked loudly.
"I'm hungry, I'm starving to death. Auntie, hurry up and bring me two big bowls of rice." Jiang Sheng also shouted back and was the first to get out of the carriage.
Fang Heng and Zheng Ruqian followed closely behind, hungry.
Xu Mo and Wen Zhiyun slowed down a little and asked about the true situation of Miss Jiang San's injury.
Chang Yan walked at the end, flashing back the words of his brothers and sisters repeatedly in his mind.
"Then after the exam is over, can I persecute my eldest brother?"
"My eldest brother has already taken the first place in the general examination, so why are they persecuting me so much?"
Everyone seems to be determined that it will be over if they get the first place in the test.
No, it’s not. After the general examination there is the palace examination, and the number one scholar is the end of the imperial examination!
