Chapter 103 Getting married?

Xiao Zhao slept for three full days and three nights.

The food was delivered to the bed by Xiaoyou with a small tray, and when he woke up, he got up and stuffed a few mouthfuls, then fell back to sleep.

If old man Cen hadn't repeatedly assured that he was just too tired to sleep soundly, the rest of the Xiao family would have thought that Xiao Zhao had suffered some serious illness in the Gong Yuan.

When he woke up, Xiaozhao was awakened by suffocation, and when he sat up, he found that his left hand was pinched and numb, it was Xiaoyou who fell asleep lying on the edge of the bed, and used his left hand as a pillow.

He gently pulled his hand from under Xiaoyou's face, judging from the red marks on the back of his hand and the soft flesh on Xiaoyou's face, she should have slept for a while.

"Liaoyou, wake up, sleeping on your stomach, your feet are going to go numb..."

Shaking her shoulders, Xiaoyou was still sound asleep, and she could vaguely see a suspicious glint of water beside her red mouth...

Sighing helplessly, Xiaozhao decided to solve the imminent physical problems first, and wake up the sleepy little lazy cat later.

After washing his hands, he came to the courtyard. The sky was already dusky, and the cool evening wind was blowing with autumn, making the grape leaves rustle.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Zhao only felt that the world was vast, and there was infinite joy in his chest.

"Zhao Zhao woke up?"

When Xiaoruo and Xiaoxun walked into the courtyard from the door, they saw Xiaozhao looking up at the sky under the grape trellis.

"Sister, brother Axun." After saying hello, Xiaozhao stepped forward to take the basket from Xiaoxun's hand. "I just got up, so you are worried."

The leg of lamb in the basket has white skin and red meat, which is very tender.

Xiaoruo pointed to the leg of lamb and said, "It's just right, I think the lamb just slaughtered by Uncle Big Niu is not bad, I bought a leg of lamb, and I will make mutton with amomum tonight, so I can supplement it for you."

The imperial examinations in this era really peel off a layer of skin after one exam. Seeing that my baby brother's face, which is not plump at all, has lost a lot of weight in just nine days, Xiaoruo feels unspeakably distressed, wishing for ginseng, bird's nest, donkey-hide gelatin and velvet antler. .

Xiao Zhao nodded obediently, and followed her elder sister and Xiao Xun to the stove house to see if there was anything she could do to help.

As soon as the three of them arrived at the door of the stove house, Xiao Niao's terrified voice sounded from inside Xiao Zhao's room: "It's bad, it's bad! Zhao Zhao is gone!"

Her little body followed the sound, like a lame fawn, popping out of the room.

My legs are really numb...

Grinning and ran out of the room, only to see the three of them looking at him speechlessly.

Xiaoyou slammed on the brakes, with an embarrassed look on her round face: "I didn't see Zhaozhao when I woke up... I thought..."

Her yelling just now alarmed the two elders in the family.

Old man Cen and Zheng Dongyang's hearing became a little hard after they got older, and Xiao Zhao didn't hear the movement of getting up, and the little girl's loud voice called them out of the room.

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Old Cen poked his white head out of the window, squinted his eyes for a long time, and finally determined who the three people in front of the stove house were. "Zhao Zhao, are you full of sleep?"

"Grandpa Cen, Grandpa Zheng." Xiao Zhao arched his hands respectfully one by one and bowed down, "Please worry about it."

The literati of this era pay the most attention to etiquette, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and trustworthiness. Even in their own homes, the etiquette of respecting the elderly should not be neglected.

Zheng Dongyang waved his hand to make him stand up. After seeing that his complexion had indeed returned to the original level, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Just wake up. Come later and tell me what you have been doing in the school exams for the past few days."

The examination room is like a execution ground, and there are not a few scholars who have entered the Gongyuan and come out to die. Zheng Dongyang is very worried about himself, an apprentice who is only ten years old.

"Yes." Xiao Zhao bowed again and replied respectfully.

The dinner was extraordinarily sumptuous. In addition to the mutton stewed with amomum that the two little ones loved to eat, Xiaoxun specially made a few extra lettuce to replenish Qi and blood, just to make up for the deficiency in Xiaozhao's body.

Although a gentleman should eat and sleep without talking, the rule of the Xiao family is that the dinner table should be used to exchange feelings, especially the dinner time when the whole family gathers.

While eating the delicious mutton leg, Xiao Zhao explained in detail what happened in the tribute courtyard.

When it came to the rainstorm in the middle of the night on the [-]th, everyone at the table was concerned. Even though they knew that Xiaozhao survived the disaster safely, they couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey, years of hard study were ruined by a rain, it's fate." Zheng Dongyang shook his head with emotion, and asked Xiaozhao to talk about the last strategy test.

"After examining population taxation, ways of making money, farming methods, and measurement, the final request is to let us talk about the flood in Zhongzhou last year." Xiao Zhao explained to Zheng Dongyang in detail how he answered the key questions one by one.

Zheng Dongyang nodded while listening, and finally couldn't help but slapped the table and shouted "Good answer".

He thinks that he has spent his whole life exploring the sea of ​​learning, but he thinks he can't write an article of Xiaozhao's level on this topic.

"It is clear and clear, not sticking to the surface of the flood, and being able to propose a solution strategy is commendable, and the green is awesome."

Huanqing is the nickname given to Xiaozhao by Zheng Dongyang, which is taken from "Adding a seal to say goodbye to rain and dew, so Gao Jiehuan Danqing", it is to hope that he will be bright and bright, and his future will be bright.

Looking at it now, Xiaozhao has lived up to his expectations at all.

Xiao Ruo scooped a spoonful of stewed sweet potato and red date soup into Xiao Zhao's bowl, and said with a smile, "Okay, we won't think about it after passing the exam. It doesn't matter how you do in the exam, we just try our best." .”

"Well, what Ruo Ruo said is right, our family has accomplished a major event after passing the provincial examination." Old man Cen took a sip of his wine, smacked his lips and said, "When will the other major event be done?"

Xiao Niao was struggling to pick and pull the shredded lamb leg with chopsticks, when she heard this, she raised her head curiously and asked, "Is there anything important that our family has left to do?"

Grandma Chen in the alley said that she is already a ten-year-old girl, and she should learn to be gentle and reserved. First of all, she should not grab and chew meat when she eats it. She is trying to eat meat in a gentle manner.

The old man Cen's cloudy old eyes flashed brightly, he pouted in the direction of Xiaoruo and Xiaoxun, and said, "Hey, your sister's life has not been done yet!"

Xiao Ruo, who had just taken a sip of soup, was almost choked by old man Cen's words, and the red dates in his mouth were either vomited or swallowed.

The chopsticks that were about to pick fish thorns stopped in the air, and Xiaoxun's ears gradually turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Cough cough...why is the old man pulling me up so much!" After finally swallowing the jujube, Xiao Ruo couldn't help but pouted, half shy and half annoyed.

"What are you talking about? I said three years of filial piety before, so it's fine if you don't rush to get married. Now you are twenty! Who do you think is a girl who is not married at twenty?"

Speaking of this old man Cen, he couldn't get angry.

A while ago when he was playing chess with others, the old man Li in Dengyun Lane couldn't beat him, so he tried to play psychological warfare with him by talking about his grandson's hard work.

Can he lose compared to the younger generation?He immediately said that Xiaozhao was his grandson, the well-known ten-year-old "Little Sanyuan"!
Old man Li was unconvinced, saying that Xiaozhao didn't have the same surname as him, so he couldn't be counted as his grandson.

After arguing like this, the old man Li became angry, pointed at his nose and said that since Xiao Zhao is his grandson, then Xiao Ruo is also his junior, and he doesn't care about Xiao Ruo, and the 20-year-old girl is not married yet.

Old man Cen was so angry that he turned his face on the spot, flipped the chessboard over, and never went to Dengyun Lane to play with old man Li again.
