During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole family reunited. Qin Huai and Mrs. Qin finished the reunion dinner and urged Qin Zhichen to practice calligraphy for half an hour. Seeing that the moonlight was good tonight, he went out for a walk. He did not expect to meet someone who was guessing lantern riddles on the street.

Jing Heng.

Although he did not pay attention to the disputes between the children, and the reason why he lectured Qin Zhichen so hard was because Qin Zhichen lied, Qin Zhichen was indeed at fault in this matter, and as a parent, he should have the attitude he should have, so Qin Huai stepped forward to help

Jing Heng and Qin He solved the dispute by guessing lantern riddles.

What surprised Qin Huai was that another person he helped had the same surname as him. He couldn't help but think of the letter he received from the old guy a few days ago, asking him to give instructions to a disciple who came to visit him. This disciple also had the same surname as Qin.

There were too many coincidences today. Qin Huai asked out of caution, and he really found out that Qin He was the old guy's disciple.

During the question and answer, Qin He also knew Qin Huai's identity. He was surprised and a little embarrassed at the same time, and quickly bowed to him and saluted. Not to mention Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang, they didn't know where to put their hands and feet.

Officials have a natural reverence.

However, Qin Xiaoxiao didn't have much reaction. She guessed that Qin Huai was too handsome and was better at guessing lantern riddles than Qin He, which made the little girl subconsciously think that such a powerful person would not embarrass her for Qin Zhichen.

This idea has no logic at all, and only she can think of it.

Seeing the reaction of the Qin family, Qin He couldn't help but shake his head: "It's just a play between children, don't take it seriously."

Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang did not dare to take these words completely seriously, but Qin Huai did not hold on to her, which finally made them relieved: "Master Qin said that it is normal for children to fight and fight."

Seeing that the couple was uncomfortable, Qin Huai didn't say much to them, and turned to Qin He and said, "Are you sure about Qiu Wei in two days?"

Qin He knew in his heart that he asked this question just for the sake of his master, so he replied cautiously: "I'm not completely sure, but I'll try my best."

Qin Huai was not very satisfied with Qin He's answer. He felt that the old guy's willingness to let him participate in Qiuwei was enough to prove that he had the talent to win the exam, but he himself seemed to be lacking in confidence.

With this thought in his mind, Qin Huai didn't show it on his face. He patted Qin He on the shoulder and encouraged him: "I wish you a gold medal! If you have any questions about your knowledge, you can come to Qin Mansion to find me."

Qin He felt grateful in his heart and bowed: "Thank you, sir!"

Qin Huai nodded slightly and looked at Jing Heng aside. Just as he was about to say a few words to Jing Heng, his eyes were attracted by Qin Xiaoxiao who raised his little face and giggled.

"Brother Li, the story you told is so funny, that person is so stupid~" Qin Xiaoxiao was so amused by a cold joke told by Jing Heng. She was already good-looking and lovable, but her smile was so innocent.

It's so innocent that people unconsciously raise the corners of their lips and laugh along with her.

"It's funny to be as stupid as you." Jing Heng tapped the tip of the little girl's nose, not forgetting to laugh at her IQ. Sensing Qin Huai's gaze, he raised his head and looked over, and saw Qin Huai staring at the little girl with a smile on his face.

Weirdly (kindly), he looked unkind and took a step forward to block Qin Huai's gaze.

Jing Heng had only seen this jade-faced King of Hell a few times in the palace and didn't know much about his character. He had not forgotten that Qin Xiaoxiao was almost killed by a disgusting thing. At this time, seeing Qin Huai's strange expression, he was inevitably confused.

Be alert.

Qin Huai pretended not to see it, lowered his head and asked Qin Xiaoxiao kindly: "Little girl, what is your name?"

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't expect that the beautiful uncle would take the initiative to talk to her, and she became dizzy: "Xiaoxiao, my name is Qin Xiaoxiao~"

Qin Huai was amused by her silly look and couldn't help but rub her head: "What a name!"

The big hand on top of her head was so gentle that Qin Xiaoxiao almost rubbed her head with it. After hearing Uncle Beauty's praise, she instantly threw Jingheng's advice away and blurted out: "Uncle Beauty is also very good-looking. I have seen him."

The most handsome adult~"

The title "Uncle Beauty" was extremely lethal. Not only did Qin Huai become confused, Qin Shan and others were so frightened that they almost fainted. They wished they could go back to the last moment and cover the little girl's mouth.

"puff!"

Looking at Qin Huai who was losing control, Jing Heng laughed rudely. He pinched the little girl's ears and didn't know whether to scold her for her deaf ears or scold her for being stupid, as he had repeatedly warned her.

It can also be forgotten in a blink of an eye.

After coming back to his senses from the "unique" title, Qin Huai glanced at Jing Heng indifferently, with a slight smile on his lips: "You said that uncle is the most handsome adult you have ever seen, then you are the best-looking person you have ever seen.

Who is the child you are looking at?”

Qin Xiaoxiao said without hesitation: "Brother Li, it's Brother Li. Brother Li is the most beautiful kid I have ever seen!"

Jing Heng's face darkened and he glared at the little girl angrily: Being called a child by a little girl who is several years younger than him is not a happy thing.

Just because the little girl thought he was the most beautiful child, a strange joy arose in his heart, which made him unable to deal with the little girl even if he wanted to.

Unexpectedly, Qin Huai's ultimate move was yet to come, and he said more and more kindly: "He is the most beautiful kid, but you call him 'Brother Li'. Isn't that wrong?"

Wrong? Qin Xiaoxiao was confused for a moment, then suddenly realized, before Jingheng rushed forward to cover her mouth, she shouted loudly: "Brother Beauty, Brother Li is Brother Beauty!"

"So smart!" Qin Huai rubbed Qin Xiaoxiao's head again, a genuine smile appeared on his face, and the inexplicable sense of alienation lingering around him disappeared.

Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes widened at the smile, she grinned and started to giggle in a hopeless manner, not noticing Jing Heng's face that was too dark to be seen.

Jing Heng stared at the culprit, he had never seen such a stingy person before; when he was done, he stared at Qin Xiaoxiao again, feeling the urge to deal with her severely again!

Qin Huai is not stingy, he just wants to tease Qin Xiaoxiao because he sees her cuteness, and by the way, he pulls Mr. Jing, who is often talked about today, into teasing... Tonight's trip is indeed interesting!

Qin Shan and others saw that Qin Huai was not angry and were even amused by Qin Xiaoxiao. They secretly breathed a sigh of relief and decided to teach the little girl the rules when they went back so that she would no longer be as unobtrusive as before. Not everyone is like Mr. Qin.

Generous.

Qin Huai teased Qin Xiao for a while, then saw that it was already getting late and said, "One day your third uncle will come to the house to look for me. You can come with your third uncle as a guest."

Qin Xiaoxiao had a very good impression of Qin Huai and nodded quickly: "Uncle Beauty, I will definitely go to your home to visit you!"

Qin Huai looked at her cute appearance and couldn't help but like her more and more, and nodded with a smile.

Seeing that Qin Huai was about to leave, Qin He hurriedly offered the luminous pearl: "Sir, you guessed the last lantern riddle, and this luminous pearl should be yours."

Qin Huai glanced at Jing Heng, pointed at Qin Xiaoxiao and said, "Take it, consider it a meeting gift for this girl!" After that, without waiting for Qin He and others to say anything, he left with his entourage.

Qin He looked at the luminous pearl worth thousands of gold and felt it was very hot.

Jing Heng vaguely guessed the reason why Qin Huai helped guess the lantern riddles and refused to accept the night pearl, so he took the night pearl from Qin He and put it in the hands of Qin Xiaoxiao who was watching Qin Huai leave: "Take it to save lamp oil."

Qin Xiaoxiao looked back and opened the small box under the nervous supervision of Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang. The shining night pearls illuminated her clear eyes, and she said happily: "Uncle Beauty is such a good man!"

Jing Heng pinched her cheek angrily: "Whoever gives you something is a good person!"

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Brother Beauty is also a good person!"

Jing Heng was immediately furious: "Don't call me beauty brother!"

Qin Xiaoxiao hid behind Qin Shan, and his smile became brighter: "Brother Li is very good-looking, there is nothing wrong with calling him Beauty Brother!"

Jing Heng was so angry that he wanted to punch someone, so he glared at Qin Xiaoxiao fiercely, turned around and left.

"Brother Li, wait for me~" Qin Xiaoxiao was worried that she had really made someone anxious, so she quickly handed the night pearl to Qin Shan, and chased after her with her short legs, shouting: "Brother Li, don't be angry, I won't shout.

Now, I won’t call you my beautiful brother anymore!”

Seeing the two little guys drifting away, Qin Shan and others shook their heads helplessly and hurriedly chased after them.

Qin Xiaoxiao was so good at coaxing people that Jingheng only persisted for half a moment before he failed. He took the little girl to the famous Jingsi Lake in the capital, took a boat ride booked in advance, and admired the bright lanterns on both sides of the bank.

Before finishing the tour of Jingsi Lake, the little girl followed the rippling boat and fell asleep leaning on Jing Heng. So the group went ashore and took a carriage back to their residence.

For the next two days, Qin He stayed in the small house reading with peace of mind, making final preparations for the autumn on the 18th. Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang also put aside their thoughts about visiting the capital and helped Qin He prepare some utensils for the autumn.

There are three exams in Qiuwei, and each exam takes three days. This means that Qin He has to stay in a narrow examination booth for nine full days, eating, drinking, sleeping and eating. Therefore, the imperial examination not only tests knowledge, but also physical fitness.

.

It is difficult for people with poor health to persist in the examination room for nine days. Every year, some people faint in the examination room and even pay for it with their lives.

Compared with students from the south who are thousands of miles away, students from the eight counties of Beijing are much luckier. They take exams in Gongyuan in the capital in autumn and spring. Even if they walk to the capital on two legs, it will not consume too much time and energy.

There is no need to worry about acclimatization, like those unfortunate southern students who died of illness on the way to Beijing to take the exam.

Qin Xiaoxiao was very sensible. Seeing that her parents and uncles had no time to go out with her, she found some fun by herself, chatting with the four women in the small house and listening to them tell anecdotes they had heard.

In the evening, Jingheng would come over with a lot of fun things and play with her for an hour until she fell asleep, so that she wouldn't be bored.

It wasn't until August 18th that Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang got up early and sent Qin He to Gongyuan, and finally had time to take Qin Xiaoxiao out shopping.

They were not familiar with the capital and did not dare to go too far. They wandered around the streets closest to the small house every day. If they found something that could be used at home and the price was cheaper than in the county town, they would buy it.

Qin Xiaoxiao was the same. In less than three days, she spent all the New Year's money she had saved, which was more than 100 yuan, in exchange for a bunch of gadgets. If she hadn't had enough money, she could have kept buying.

After playing, Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang were inevitably worried about Qin He in the Gongyuan. As time passed and no bad news came out, they gradually felt relieved and on the afternoon of August 26, they picked up almost Qin He.

The exhausted Qin He.

The couple did not ask Qin He how he did in the exam, but also told Qin Xiaoxiao not to talk too much. After Qin He took a hot bath, ate hot meals, and slept until the evening of the next day, he finally recovered.

After dinner, Qin He discussed with Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang: "Brother, sister-in-law, the results will be released in half a month. Why don't we go back first and come back in half a month."

The reason why he was in a hurry to go back was because he didn't want to disturb Jing Heng by staying here any longer. Besides, he was 80% sure that he would be able to pass the examination. It made no difference to him whether he stayed here or went back.

Qinshan has been out for more than ten days, and naturally he wants to return to a familiar place. Hearing his brother's words, he remembered another thing: "Didn't you say that if you win the title of Juren, you will have to attend the deer roaring banquet on the same day? What if I go back?

Can you make it in time?”

Seeing that his eldest brother seemed sure that he could win the exam, Qin He couldn't help but shook his head and said with a smile: "The results will be released on the 15th day of next month, so just come here a day in advance and wait."

The biggest problem was gone. Qin Shan had no objection to going back early, so he looked at Lin Qiuniang.

"It's up to you, I have no objection." Lin Qiuniang rubbed her daughter's overstuffed belly and replied with a smile.

No matter how prosperous the capital city is, no matter how comfortable the small house is, it is not as comfortable as the Qingshan Village where I have lived for more than ten years.

"Are we going home?" Qin Xiaoxiao climbed up from Lin Qiuniang's lap in a hurry, her little face looked happy and sad for a while: "I miss grandpa, grandma, Sanbao, Dahuang, baa...but there are people in Beijing.

There are so many delicious things I haven’t tried yet~”

The three of them listened to her thinking about a series of people and things, and thought that she would finally say that she couldn't let go of Jing Heng. Who would have thought that what she was reluctant to let go of was delicious food, and they couldn't help but laugh: "You, you girl, three times a day

It’s not like the meal didn’t satisfy you, why are you so greedy?”

Qin Xiaoxiao said aggrievedly: "I'm not greedy, not after eating delicious food~"

The three of them laughed again, not knowing what to say. Anyway, no matter what they said, as long as this girl didn't admit it, she could always find something ridiculous to defend herself.

After laughing, Lin Qiuniang warned: "Mr. Jing must be reluctant to let you go. You must not say such words later, so as not to make Mr. Jing sad."

Mr. Jing had nothing to say to his daughter, and even the adults took care of him. If Mr. Jing knew that his daughter was reluctant to part with the delicious food in the capital, he was afraid that he would get angry with his daughter again. Thinking about it carefully, this girl is really heartless.

, no one would be happy.

"Uh-huh, I won't tell." Qin Xiaoxiao responded honestly, feeling a little reluctant to leave Jingheng. But compared to Mr. Qin and others whom she hadn't seen for several days, she didn't care that much about Jingheng.

I saw Jingheng.
