As February entered, the spring exam was approaching, and the atmosphere in the capital quickly became tense.

Hanzhu wanted to go to the Zhou family, but was afraid that he would add pressure to Zhou Wenting, so she was unable to make up her mind. She asked Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu analyzed the pros and cons for her, and finally said it was the same as if she had no words. She was worried that Fang sent someone to pass the message and asked her to sit there tomorrow if she had time. Zhou Wenting was about to leave the exam room on the ninth day of the lunar month. It was said that juren would lose a few pounds after the exam, as if she had changed her person, and asked her to see what her cousin looked like so that she would not be able to recognize her in two days.

Fang's tone was relaxed, obviously he was confident. Thinking about Zhou Wenting's usual calm and gentle appearance, Hanzhu was not so nervous. He sent someone to visit the Yunyang Hou Mansion. On the sixth day of the lunar month, he brought gifts to the Hou Mansion to pick up A Xun first. The brother and brother went to his aunt's house together to visit.

"Sister, what gift did you bring to cousin Ting?" Ah Xun leaned on his sister intimately and asked curiously.

Hanzhu pointed to the food box that was placed aside and smiled and said, "Sister made the No. 1 winner cake."

When Ah Xun heard what his sister made, he was greedy and swallowed his saliva and asked, "What is the 1st year cake? Is it delicious?"

Hanzhu touched his head and said, "A Xun knows the top scorer? There was an emperor named Minghuang of Tang before. When he went to Jiangnan, he tasted a very delicious pastry. He was still greedy when he returned to the capital, so he sent an official to Jiangnan to find the person who made pastries. After asking, he found out that the person was going to Beijing to take the exam. There were too many candidates coming to Beijing. Minghuang of Tang didn't know his name, so he asked the candidates to make pastries. Other candidates could not make them. Only the candidates in Jiangnan could make them. Emperor Minghuang recognized him with the pastries and was very happy. He named him the top scorer. The pastry was also renamed the top scorer. Cousin Ting was able to get the exam after eating the top scorer. "

"I want to eat it too..." Even the emperor was greedy for pastries. Ah Xun's saliva was even more drooling, and his big eyes were staring at the food box.

"Let's eat together when we get to my aunt's house." Hanzhu coaxed softly, and asked the little guy what he brought to divert his attention.

Speaking of this, Axun immediately opened the curtains and asked Qi Zhi, who was riding a horse to ask for gifts. The gifts his father prepared for him were too big and they were so bulging in his purse that they were very bad, so Axun asked Qi Zhi to help him carry them.

Hanzhu looked at Qi Zhi in confusion, and saw the young man solemnly took out a golden ingot from his cuff and handed it over.

Ah Xun stretched out his fat hand to catch it, pointed to the words under the ingot and told his sister seriously, "The top scorer was the first, and my father said that the cousin was the best after passing the exam. If he couldn't get the exam, he would buy wine and drink it. There is no need to feel uncomfortable."

Hanzhu was stunned for a moment, then shook her head helplessly, collected the gold ingots for her brother, and taught him what to say after seeing Zhou Wenting. She secretly decided that she would spend more time with A Xun in the future. Otherwise, what if A Xun grew up and said nothing like Chu Qing? Thinking of the sarcasm that Cheng Yu received from Chu Qing, Hanzhu had a headache. Chu Qing agreed to this marriage, which shows that he admired Cheng Yu, so why did he refuse to say a few words that his elders should say?

When they arrived at the Zhou family, Zhou Wenting and Ningzhu came out to pick them up.

Ah Xun raised the gift to his cousin as if he was offered treasure. After being praised by Zhou Wenting, Ah Xun asked what gift Sister Ning gave, and looked like she was comparing. Ningzhu smiled and snatched the purse from Zhou Wenting's hand, and shook at Ah Xun, "Look, this is the purse I embroidered for my brother. Now I have snatched it back, Ah Xun's golden ingot is mine too!"

The twelve-year-old girl is much taller and wears a cherry-red embroidered robe. She is so watery and tender that it looks like a little red cherry blossom buds are revealed on the branches. It would be fine if she didn't open her mouth, but her voice was sweet and soft. If someone passes by nearby, even if he doesn't see the little girl's pretty appearance, he will be attracted by the sound and look back.

Qi Zhi, who had been standing behind A Xun in a regular manner, couldn't help but look up. He happened to see the little girl holding her purse high and smiling with her brother's bright smile, and her eyes were fixed on the little girl's bright eyes and white teeth, and forgot to move away.

Zhou Wenting was also watching his sister tease her cousin, and Yu Guangli found that her cousin's guard raised her head. He glanced at her, and the smile on his face disappeared. He reached out to grab the purse and signaled the three of them to go in. Ningzhu was so funny that she was teasing Ah Xun. The thing was suddenly snatched. She pouted and glared at her brother, holding her sister's arm with one hand and holding Ah Xun with the other hand, leaving first.

Zhou Wenting looked at Qi Zhi again and saw that Qi Zhi had returned to his previous appearance of standing quietly with his eyes down, so he followed him, his eyes fell on his sister's petite back, and he felt a little worried. The sister was only twelve years old, and her face was still round as a child, but her appearance became more and more outstanding. Not only did the almond eyes look more and more like her cousin, but her voice was a little similar, and they all had a unique charm. The soft words of Wu Nong, a beauty in Jiangnan, he imagined, were nothing more than that.

I remembered again yesterday when he went to find his mother and listened to his mother and the nanny beside him talking to someone who came to propose marriage...

Zhou Wenting couldn't believe it.

How old is A Ning? Someone actually wants to propose marriage?

Fortunately, my mother said that she didn't like that family.

He was concerned about his sister's marriage. Fang invited Hanzhu to come today, in addition to the family's lively, he was about to mention this to Hanzhu. Seeing Ningzhu leading Ah Xun to play outside, Fang asked the eldest son to go out for a walk, and then asked the maid to guard the door. She whispered to Hanzhu, "The third house diagonally opposite the right side of my aunt's house is the residence of Lord Zheng, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites Jingshen Qingli Department. Do you still remember?"

Hanzhu didn't go out many times after entering Beijing, but because she was diligent in coming to the Zhou family, she would occasionally meet the female family members of the Zheng family when she got off the bus, so she knew a little about the Zheng family and asked blankly: "Remember, what's wrong?"

Fang smiled and said, "Mrs. Zheng came to visit yesterday morning and wanted to book A Ning for her youngest son. Zheng San is 14 years old. She looks good. She just took the exam for Tongsheng and is quite steady. She always knows to say hello when she meets her. Do you want to see it? She should just tactfully first and consider A Ning's marriage in two years? Our A Ning is loved by people. The Zheng family came to propose marriage so early, so that they must have the idea of ​​getting the moon first, so as not to be able to take over other families if there are too many people who propose marriage in the future."

Hanzhu was so amused that her sister was still a child, and she was about to get married so soon?

Lord Zheng is a fifth-rank Beijing official. Although he is not a high-ranking official in the capital, it is a high point for ordinary officials from other provinces to be in-laws. What is the matter with his sister, the second girl from the Bo Mansion, everyone in the capital knows that he is just an adopted daughter. The Zheng family came to propose marriage early, which shows his sincerity.

But Hanzhu instinctively didn't want to agree. Her sister was too young and had not yet learned about her relationship. Hanzhu wanted to wait until her sister could really judge who she liked before making arrangements for her.

"What do you think of aunt?" The Zhou family and the Zheng family had a good relationship. Hanzhu couldn't figure out Fang's attitude, so she asked tentatively.

Fang smiled and looked at the outsider and said, "I can't bear to leave it. A Ning is so obedient and so cute. I haven't had enough pain yet. Besides, although Zheng San can't make any big mistakes, he is not worthy of our A Ning in terms of appearance. I hope you will refuse. When A Ning grows up, I will take her out as a guest, so I will not worry about not having any better ones."

Hanzhu thought so too, and nodded with a smile, then asked about Zhou Wenting's marriage, "Did your aunt choose a good person?" Zhou Wenting won the first place last autumn and was handsome. There are many families who want to choose him as a son-in-law who rides the dragon.

Fang nodded mysteriously, "There is a girl I like very much. My mother and I have already discussed it. Go to Jiuhua Temple to enjoy the peach blossoms in early March. Do you want to go and see it? I won't tell you who the girl is, so as not to accidentally leak the news and be heard by your cousin, and he won't go with me."

Hanzhu was suddenly filled with appetite and pestered Fang and told her that Fang insisted not to say anything, she could only make an appointment to go together at that time.

While the mother and the mother were whispering in the house, Cheng Duo, who was out for a trip, slowly tied the reins and together with a few friends from aristocratic families, they forgot to go to a village far away. The village head was about one mile away from the dirt road here, not far or near, because the villagers had loud voices, they could hear it clearly.

It turned out that a man surnamed Zhang in this village fell down when he was in the house a few days ago and fell down his leg. His parents used up all their savings and hired a doctor Liu from the town to treat his son. As a result, he spent all his money. His son's legs were not cured and he was still lame. The farmer was honest and honest. He heard from Doctor Liu that if it weren't for his treatment in time, their son would even have his entire leg trash, so he believed it and did not make trouble with Doctor Liu.

Then this morning, an old man Ge passed by the village and happened to go to the Zhang family to ask for water. When he learned that the Zhang family had a newly lame son, he went in and looked at it. After reading it, he scolded Doctor Liu for being a quack doctor. He was obviously a slut, but he refused to refund the medical fee. The Zhang family couple suddenly became anxious. The money was not rich, and his son's legs could not be lame. They immediately went to find Doctor Liu to seek justice. Doctor Liu was dissatisfied and came here to meet the old man Ge in person. After some discernment, Old Man Ge wanted to bet with Doctor Liu that if he cured the Zhang family's son's legs, Doctor Liu must pay the Zhang family's medical fee five times, and he would not take any penny.

Old Man Ge is too confident and not greedy for cheap things. Liu Lang is weak, but at this time it is already difficult to make a fortune. If you don’t bet, wouldn’t you admit that he is a quack doctor? How can you keep going in the town in the future? He is not a foreigner, and his ancestors have lived here for generations, so it is impossible to take their children and daughters to move elsewhere. If you can’t retreat, you can only bet. Besides, Doctor Liu is still a little confident in his medical skills and does not believe that such a ragged old man can cure his lameness.

"Let's go over and take a look?" The noble man beside Cheng Duo asked with a smile.

Cheng Duo had the highest status here. He looked at the villagers, nodded, and rushed over. When he arrived, a few young men with great background did not dismount at the horse, and just looked down at the crowd from a high place. The villagers were in awe and took the initiative to let go of one and make it easier for them to see.

There was a large flat stone on the side of the door of the Zhang family. Xia Tian's family liked to sit at the door to enjoy the cool. At this moment, the son of the Zhang family sat on the stone and looked at Old Man Ge squatting in front of him nervously. Old Man Ge looked very calm, and he held up the man's legs and pinched them carefully. Then everyone saw his fingers moving quickly, pressing up and down along the man's legs. Every time he pressed, the son of the Zhang family howled, and finally could not bear it. He pushed Old Man Ge away and stood up, jumping around in pain.

He was in pain, and his parents stared blankly for a while, and suddenly ran over in ecstasy, fearing that this was a dream, so they asked their son to take a few more steps faster.

The son of the Zhang family finally realized what was going on. He walked happily for a few laps, his legs were flexible, just like he had never fallen, and it didn't hurt at all.

The family of three was excited and didn't know what to do. After looking at each other for a while, they knelt down at the savior and called the old god. The other villagers came to their senses. There were crooked mouths and squints at home, mute and could not have children or sons. Anyone with some problems rushed towards Old Man Ge and asked for help from the miracle doctor.

Ge Chengfeng ignored anyone and grabbed Doctor Liu who wanted to run away and forced him to pay the money. The villagers followed suit. Doctor Liu hugged his head and said he had no money. The village was the one who was the one who "invite" him to the Zhang family yard, and then sent two enthusiastic villagers to the town to report the letter and ask the Liu family to take money to bring people. As for Ge Chengfeng, he had been pulled by the villagers and lined up to treat the disease.

"This old man Ge is really capable." Some people from the aristocratic family praised it in surprise, which aroused a lot of echoes.

Cheng Duo looked at Old Man Ge's back, which was almost covered by the villagers, and the head of the court gave a wink.
