The little girl hides her secrets

Chapter 25 25. County Test
On the day when Yu An was about to leave, the carriage was waiting for the door early, and Yu An was ready to go out with his luggage.

"Wait a minute." Yun Yao stopped him, handed him a money bag, and said, "Be careful on the road."

"Okay." Yu An took the money bag and left.

Yun Yao looked at Yu An's back resentfully, feeling very uncomfortable.

I don't know how to express it, give her a hug or something.

As she thought about it, Yu An suddenly stopped and looked back at her.

Yun Yao was taken aback, blinked, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yu An suddenly became awkward, moved his fingers, and said, "I'm leaving."

Yun Yao suddenly laughed, wondering if Yu An was also a little bit reluctant to part with her, she said softly, "I'll wait for you to come back."

"En." Yu An nodded slightly, turned and left.

Yun Yao watched the carriage leave, waited until he could no longer see it, then closed the door and started tidying up the room.

She cleaned up the kitchen first, and then began to sweep the floor.She swept the kitchen and main room, and went to Yu An's room.

His room has always been tidy, Yun Yao only swept out a little dust, and was about to go out when he caught a glimpse of a small bronze plaque lying beside his bed.Taking a closer look, it was an examination paper for the county examination.

With a buzzing sound in Yun Yao's mind, he grabbed the small bronze medal, threw down the broom, and ran out.

Ruts were clearly left on the snow. Yun Yao ran forward at a sprint speed of [-] meters. The cold wind sucked into her chest and made her hurt. She had to catch up as soon as possible. It would be hard to find the carriage when it entered the town.

Fortunately, she caught up.

"Stop! Stop!" Yun Yao shouted while running.

When the coachman heard the sound, he turned his head and saw a young girl chasing the carriage.This startled him, and he stopped his horse quickly.

Yun Yao gasped for a few breaths, opened the curtain, and the snow reflected the light on her body, rushing into Yu An's eyes, Yun Yao handed him the test guide, and said, "Don't forget next time."

Yun Yao's cheeks were flushed, her hair was disheveled, she didn't even wear an outer shirt when she came out, and she was shivering from the cold at the moment.

Yu An's heart sank. He took the exam and accidentally touched her cold little hand, his fingers trembling slightly.

He took off his coat, handed it to Yun Yao, and said, "Put it on."

She shook her head and said, "I'm fine, you wear it, you can't catch a cold."

Yu An stretched out his hand stubbornly, and there was actually a bit of anger in his eyes.

Xu Jingzhou's eyes flicked between the two, and he said, "I have so many coats. Brother Yu is about the same height as me, so he can wear mine."

Yun Yao heard that, seeing Xu Jingzhou really took out a piece of clothing, he took Yu An's outer shirt.

She put on an outer shirt with Yu An's temperature on it, making her warm up all of a sudden.

"Then I'm leaving, let's work hard for the exam." Yun Yao said, waved his hands, and left in a loose coat.

Yu An looked at her back, the wide sleeves covered her body, making the already slender her look a bit petite.

He caressed Kao Yin, wondering what he was thinking.

Lu Zhixu took a look at Yu An and felt that he didn't fail the exam by accident.

About half a month later, the three of them arrived at the county seat. During the county examination period, the price of the inn doubled. Even so, the three of them searched several places before finding a vacant room.

There is a distance from the test shed here. On the day of the county test, several people set off early and stood outside the shed waiting for the body search.

The body search of the county examination was much stricter than that of the teachers of the college. Not far in front of them, a candidate hid the cheat sheet in his foot pocket. He was soon found out and lost his eligibility for the examination for life.

He grabbed the hem of the invigilator's clothes, knelt on the ground relentlessly, alarmed the guarding officers and soldiers, and was forcefully dragged away.

This farce made the already nervous candidates raise their hearts to their throats.

Soon it was the turn of the three. A fat-headed and big-eared invigilator saw that Yu An was crippled, and showed a mocking smile. During the examination, he deliberately pinched Yu An's left leg.

Although Yu An's left leg didn't feel, he still felt a sense of shame attacking his whole body. His face was gloomy, and he was holding the crutch tightly, as if he wanted to embed his fingers in it.

"Go in." The examiner said.

As he said this, he made a circle with his fat pig's hand and told Yu An that your legs are only this thick.

Yu An gritted his teeth, and went in silently.

He found his seat and sat down. Xu Jingzhou and Lu Zhixu were not in the same room as him. When the time came, the invigilator began to hand out the papers.

Yu An looked at the paper in his hand, remembered Yun Yao's cold little hands and panting appearance, fell silent, and dropped the tip of his pen.

More than a dozen invigilators patrolled the aisle, putting a lot of pressure on the candidates.

After half an hour, Yu An was the first to stand up.

Just when a proctor with mustache walked up to him, he widened his eyes and gave Yu An a sit-down look.

That look seemed to say: Boy, don't give up.

Yu An turned a blind eye and left on his own.

Candidates' test papers must be taken away by a special person, and the invigilator cannot touch them.Therefore, the mustache can only see the top test paper.

In his opinion, no one can finish the test paper in half an hour, and Yu An must have given up because the questions were too difficult.

Yu An went back to the inn early to pack his things, and when Xu Jingzhou and Lu Zhixu returned, he had already finished packing.

Lu Zhixu said in surprise, "Brother Yu came back so early."

"Don't you wait until the ranking is out?" Xu Jingzhou asked.

Yu An's expression was indifferent, and he said, "No, hurry back."

Thinking of Yun Yao, a meaningful smile appeared on Xu Jingzhou's gentle face. He coughed and said, "Alright, let's go back after we have a meal."

"I still have one place I want to go." Yu An said.

After lunch, the coachman took Yu An to the most famous jewelry store in the county - Baiyu Palace.

Every piece of jewelry here is very valuable, but the boss saw that Yu An did not show any disdainful expression, so he carefully introduced it to Yu An.

After leaving, Yu An picked out a hairpin with silver dots and emerald inlaid with sapphires. It was not gorgeous, but very beautiful.

500 taels, using his lucky money.

Yu An carefully installed the hairpin and left the White Jade Palace.

On the way back there was a snowfall, the snow fell on the ground and quickly melted, many country roads became muddy, the carriage had to slow down, and it took more than 20 days to return to the town.

It's already the end of February.

Xu Jingzhou asked the coachman to take Yu An home, while he and Lu Zhixu went back first.

On the way back to the village in the carriage, Yu An touched his swollen chest, feeling the candidate's nervousness for the first time.

It is the season of spring plowing, the soil exudes a unique fragrance, and busy figures can be seen everywhere in the farmland.

"Master, here we are, I'll help you down." The coachman's voice came to mind.

The coachman's voice attracted Zhao Xiaoqin's attention. She walked out of Yunyao's house and saw Yu An at a glance.

"Young master Yu is back," she said with a smile, "Ayao fell asleep, I'll wake her up."

"No need, let her sleep." Yu An said.
