Chapter 84 Take the disease to the exam
When she was in Qinghe Village, Lv Erniang went out to sell fruit wine and often went to Qinghe Village and Qingshi County. When the family was having lunch, there were only Lv Xianger and Lv Hong. Because Lv Xianger was too young at that time, Lv Erniang did not allow her to cook by herself, and Lv Hong was responsible for lunch.
Lv Hong, a young boy, can't cook, but just heats up the food left by Lv Erniang. At most, he boiled two more eggs, one for each with Lv Xianger. Once, the neighbor Aunt Zhao sent me a few newly picked cucumbers, and Lv Xianger wanted to eat them very much. Lv Hong and Lv Xianger co-pickled a large plate of cucumber slices and ate them all.
Although those days were not as comfortable as they are now, they were difficult for Lv Hong and Lv Xiang to forget. Whenever the two brothers and sisters have something unhappy, they will cook such a meal and recall those days. This is also to tell the brother and sister that even if the Lv family has nothing, they can still live a happy life.
Lv Xianger cooked such a meal for Lv Hong today to relieve the pressure in Lv Hong's heart. Coupled with a small note of 'blessing' left by Lv Xianger, Lv Hong also understood Lv Xianger's intention. After dinner, his stomach was not empty. Lv Hong seemed to have put down something, and his heart was much more relaxed.
Although Lv Hong's body is still a little weak, his spirit is very good. After he walked out of the room, Lv Xianger saw his expression and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Seeing that it was about time to enter the examination room, Lu Xianger asked Uncle Zheng to prepare the carriage.
Uncle Zheng looked at Lv Hong carefully before he quickly walked to the carriage with a smile. Aunt Zheng was afraid that Lv Hong would have an accident in the examination room, so she also went to prepare a lot of emergency items. Huo Qingqing saw that Lv Hong was not as strong as before. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.
Only Lv Xiang'er stepped forward and smiled at Lv Hong and said, "Brother, Xiang'er has been with you today. You can answer the questions at ease in the examination room, and Xiang'er is waiting for you outside the examination room.
"Good. If your brother is carried out, don't laugh at him. Lv Hong stretched out his hand and wanted to touch Lv Xianger's little nose, but when he thought that Lv Xianger was about to get there, he stopped his movements.
Lv Xianger took a step forward and took Lv Hong's hand and whispered, "Brother, you will always be Xiang'er's brother. This will never change."
Lv Hong nodded with a smile, letting Lv Xianger take his hand. He turned to Huo Qingqing and continued, "You are today..."
"Well, Xiang'er was with me before. Naturally, I'm with Xiang'er today. Don't worry about entering the examination room. Xiang'er won't be bored with me. Huo Qingqing looked at the relationship between Lv Xianger and Lv Hong, and couldn't help thinking of her brother Huo Qingsong.
Thinking that Huo Qingsong is not a few years older than Huo Qingqing, but he has been taking care of her. And she never cared about Huo Qingsong like Lv Xianger did to Lv Hong, and Huo Qingqing suddenly felt a little ashamed. Thinking of thinking more about his brother and making him less angry in the future, Huo Qingqing accompanied Xianger into the carriage.
The distance from Lv's house to the examination room is not close. Even if Uncle Zheng drove the carriage very slowly and steadily, when Lv Hong got out of the car, his face was still much whiter. Seeing the small beads of sweat on Lv Hong's forehead, Lv Xianger really wanted Lv Hong to go back to recuperate with her. But the brilliance of perseverance and persistence in Lv Hong's eyes made Lv Xianger resist.
After witnessing Lv Hong line up and entering the examination room, Lv Xianger returned to the car and shed tears. Huo Qingqing, who sat next to her, also knew that Lv Xianger was sad for Lv Hong, but she didn't know how to persuade Lv Xianger to feel a little restless.
After thinking about it for a long time, Huo Qingqing said reluctantly, "Xiang'er, when my brother was just learning martial arts, he was often beaten black and blue. My wet nurse and I loved him. When we didn't want him to learn martial arts, my brother always said that if he suffered more injuries now, he would suffer fewer injuries on the battlefield in the future. Lv Hong is the same. Even if he doesn't pass the exam this time, he will definitely pass the exam in the future.
"Qingqing, thank you for comforting me." Lu Xianger looked at Huo Qingqing's embarrassed face and took the initiative to take her hand.
Lv Xianger is very grateful to this little lady who has been spoiled since she was a child and can say so many comforting words. Although Huo Qingqing is not very good at comforting people, Lv Xianger is very happy, because God always makes her meet so many people who are good to her.
Huo Qingqing shook Lv Xianger's hand and said seriously, "Xiang'er, in fact, it should be said that I am the one who thank you. If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have known that, and I wouldn't have understood many things that I hadn't noticed before. Speaking of which, since I grew up, I have been in Jiangling Mansion during this period, which is the happiest day I have ever had.
When saying these words, Huo Qingqing's tone and expression were very different from the past, and it seemed to be much more mature. However, when Lv Xianger put away her sadness and laughed with Huo Qingqing, her smile was still so happy and clean.
In this way, Lv Xianger and Huo Qingqing sat in the carriage and talked while waiting for Lv Hong to come out of the examination room. Uncle Zheng sat outside and leaned against the carriage's trunk to take a nap. He didn't sleep all night last night, but he was exhausted.
There are many family members waiting for the students outside the examination room, and the students in the examination room also want to leave here as soon as possible after answering the questions. But the questions to be answered in this written examination of Wuju are no less than those of Wenju, and the time is naturally longer. However, the longer this time, Lv Hong became more and more sad.
With the passage of time, Lv Hong has felt that his physical strength is exhausted. When he had finished writing two-thirds of the answers, he was a little drowsy. The examiner who patrolled back and forth found this situation and came over to ask Lv Hong if he wanted to withdraw from the examination room, but Lv Hong refused.
Before, what Lv Xianger did reassured Lv Hong with those strong hearts. At this time, Lv Hong didn't want to stick to it because he put too much pressure on him. Thinking of Lv Xianger waiting for him outside the examination room, Lv Hong was very relieved. Even if he is finally stunned and carried out, there is nothing to worry about. Lv Hong's only thought now is that since he has come to the examination room, he should try not to leave with regret.
Lv Hong's face is getting paler and paler, but a small ** appeared in the examiner. The fourth prince Zhao Chengmin quietly entered the examination room with two bodyguards. All the examiners, except those who were on patrol, went forward to salute the fourth prince. And in order not to affect the candidates, the fourth prince did not disturb too many people.
The examiners met the fourth prince, and then dispersed to inspect the candidates. And the examiner walked around with the fourth prince in casual clothes. Anyway, the fourth prince was also sent by His Majesty to preside over the township examination. No matter how irresponsible he was, he would have to go through the examination room. Today, the literary examination of Wenju and Wuju was held at the same time. The fourth prince first went to the examination room of Wenju before coming to the examination room of martial arts.
The examiner was explaining the situation of the examination room to the fourth prince. An examiner hurried over and whispered a few words to him. The examiner said to the fourth prince apologetically, "Your Highness, if you have something to deal with, please forgive me."
"It's important. The examiner, please take care of yourself. I can just look around by myself." The fourth prince smiled decently and let the examiner send someone else to accompany him.
It's just the accompanying official. Maybe he was too nervous and stag. Listening to his explanation, the fourth prince felt very boring, so he wanted to leave. But when he turned around, he found a familiar person. Seeing Lv Hong's face and expression, the fourth prince was very strange and couldn't help stopping.
Although the official who accompanied the fourth prince hugged tightly, he also had a good look. Seeing the eyes of the fourth prince, he quickly said, "Your Highness, the candidate's name is Lv Hong. As soon as he saw that he seemed to be sick, he asked him if he wanted to leave the examination room. But he said that he just caught a cold and was fine. He wanted to continue to answer the questions.
"Oh? Sick?" The fourth prince thought that at the party of "Yi Wen Hui Wu", Lv Hongwu had a very imposing shooting method, but he did not sweat from beginning to end. At this time, he looks like he is about to faint, which is really curious.
After turning around for a while, the fourth prince left the examination room, which made people unable to see any deep meaning. But after he walked out of the examination room, he said to the bodyguard beside him, "Chen Lin, pay more attention to this Lv Hong. It's a pity that a person who can be admired by his cousin can't work for the court because he is sick.
"I wrote it down. Your Highness, is it time to go back to the post hall or..." The bodyguard named Chen Lin gathered on that day and praised Lv Hong's bodyguard in front of the fourth prince. From the perspective of the fourth prince taking him everywhere, Chen Lin is obviously a confidant of the fourth prince. When the fourth prince got into the carriage, Chen Lin looked back at the door of the examination room, and an unknown emotion flashed in his eyes.
The fourth prince saw Chen Lin's behavior, but he had no expression and said cheerfully, "Go find your cousin. Yesterday, I was 'entangled' by those officials and didn't go to the temple fair. They all missed a good show. I have to ask my cousin what happened yesterday.
"Go to Zhechong Mansion." After Chen Lin ordered the driver, he got on the horse and another bodyguard on both sides of the carriage and slowly drove to Zhe Chongfu. Huo Qingqing, who accompanied Lv Xianger, happened to see the carriage of the fourth prince through the thin curtain.
At this time, there was still more than an hour before the end of the exam. Huo Qingqing curled his lips when the fourth prince left so early. When Lv Xianger saw her appearance, she said with a good laugh, "Qingqing, the fourth prince is the prince. Do you still want him to stay in the examination room all day?"
"Xiang'er, you don't know that the fourth prince is the most lazy. He..." Huo Qingqing just wanted to turn around and talk to Lu Xianger about the fourth prince, and saw the door of the examination room suddenly open. Seeing that Lv Hong was helped out by two people, Huo Qingqing hurriedly shouted, "He was helped out--"
