Part-time female officer of the rebirth spiritualist

Chapter 9

That night, when Zhao Qi came back from the private school, he was called into the room by Zhao Qi.Zhao Yun didn't know what the two said in detail, and she didn't ask Agu them curiously.Sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing. Since Zhao Qi felt that there were some things that she needed to avoid, she was happy to make life simpler and purer.

After peeling and washing a winter bamboo shoot sent by Aunt Zhou in the afternoon, Zhao Yun turned on the fire, and when the water in the pot boiled, she put the winter bamboo shoot in boiling water and filtered it twice.Before turning around, he noticed a shadow coming from behind him.

"Yunyun, you are a lucky star. Thanks to you for finding the box that was buried so deep." Zhao Lin laughed and hugged Zhao Yun, rubbing her head vigorously, "Now , the fee for the next exam is enough, and the family can be much more comfortable. Big brother doesn’t have to worry about money, let alone beg for help.”

The second half of the sentence was like a murmur, Zhao Lin thought of the sacrifices Zhao Qi made for their two brothers and sisters in the past, the smile on his face could not help but subside a lot, and there was an indescribable sadness in his tone.Zhao Qi was supposed to be as stunning and talented as one of his classmates, but his parents died, and he and Yunyun were young, which hindered Zhao Qi's life and stagnated his progress.

Fortunately, everything will be fine.

This was the first time Zhao Yun saw Zhao Lin smiling so easily. It seemed that she was not alone in worrying about the lack of money.The corners of her lips raised slightly, Zhao Yun raised her head, and looked at Zhao Lin with bright eyes, "Second brother, with money, we won't be hungry and we won't be too warm, right?"

Zhao Lin froze in place, caressing Zhao Yun's thin face, feeling sad and distressed, "Well, Second Brother will never let Yunyun go hungry again, and won't let Yunyun suffer from the cold again."

Uncomfortably struggling to get her face out of Zhao Lin's palm, Zhao Yun pursed her lips and smiled, "Yunyun believes in Second Brother." While speaking, her two little hands were still twisting the corners of her clothes vigorously.

Zhao Lin's eyes naturally fell on Zhao Yun's restless hands, and the padded jacket on her body that had been washed so that the original color could not be seen was naturally caught by him.Thinking back carefully, Zhao Yun seemed to rely on this not-so-thick padded jacket to get through the whole winter.Suddenly, Zhao Lin blamed himself.

Holding Zhao Yun's little hand, Zhao Lin smiled and said, "Yunyun, second brother will take you to the county town tomorrow, okay? I'll also buy some cloth and ask Aunt Zhou next door to help us make a new set of clothes for Yunyun. After all, In about ten days, it will be the Spring Festival."

After achieving the goal, Zhao Yun made a V for herself in her heart.This padded jacket really doesn't keep warm, not to mention the size is not suitable, the stitches are mended, and the cotton inside is exposed, which is black and hard.If she really had no conditions, she could make do with it, but seeing so much money with her own eyes, she didn't want to treat herself harshly.

So pretending to be tender and acting like a baby, taking advantage of Zhao Lin's concern to play tricks, Zhao Yun did it without any pressure.

"Second brother is so kind. But, doesn't second brother need to go to private school tomorrow?" Zhao Yun smiled sweetly at Zhao Lin, and asked doubtfully.

"No need to go, the private school will be on vacation from today, and the school will not start until spring. If I can pass the children's test after the Spring Festival this time, I don't have to go to the private school." Zhao Lin nodded and explained with a smile road.

"So that's how it is." Zhao Yun nodded. The imperial examination system here is very similar to that in ancient China. The children's examination is to obtain the qualification of a student, which is commonly known as a scholar.Only those who become scholars are eligible to take the official imperial examination.Therefore, it is very important to take this first step successfully.

The next day, Zhao Yun woke up early, made breakfast quickly, and knocked on the door to wake Zhao Lin up.She has never seen a city in this era.The original body did not have any memories, so she seemed a little excited to go to the county seat.

However, after breakfast, when Zhao Lin took her hand and walked to Zhao Qi who was waiting at the door, she felt a little apprehensive again.Since yesterday, Zhao Qi's piercing eyes made her a little uncomfortable.Now that they have to go out together, she feels even more nervous.

"Second brother, will eldest brother also go with us?" Zhao Yun asked in a low voice, pulling Zhao Lin's ear.

Zhao Lin nodded, "Yeah, what's the matter? We'll take the ox cart at Uncle Zhou's house, and Lan Xin will also be with me. There are so many people on the road, and there are people there to take care of me."

"Hehe, that's nothing, I'm just asking." Zhao Yun scratched her head, a little irritated.

Zhao Lin smiled reassuringly, thinking that she was a little nervous when she went to the county for the first time, so she didn't care.

It is about six or seven miles from Banglan Village to the county seat, and the road is wide and flat, making it easier to walk.The bullock carts coming and going on the road are very lively.

Zhao Yun and Zhou Lanxin sat side by side on the bullock cart, poked their necks and said, "Why are there so many people?"

Zhou Lanxin was one year older than Zhao Yun. The eight-year-old little loli was wrapped in a bright red cotton jacket, which made her face blush and very playful.At this time, she was holding Zhao Yun's hand, and excitedly said: "Today is the market day, don't you know?"

Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, and then understood. In the 21st century, there are still some places that still retain the custom of going to the market, and she naturally knows some of it.

"There are markets every three, five, and seven. Today is every seven, and the Spring Festival will be celebrated in ten days. The elders in the village will go to the county to buy new year's goods. Naturally, there are many people." Zhou Lanxin turned her head to look at Zhao Yun, grinning He said: "Today, the county town must be more lively than ever, with jugglers and opera singers. Later, sister Yunyun and I will watch the excitement together, okay?"

Zhao Yun was softened by Little Lolita, and she was also curious, and was about to nod in agreement when she was interrupted with a smile.

"You just want to kidnap Yunyun to be naughty with you. Brother Qi and Brother Lin will take Yunyun to buy new year's goods when they arrive in the county. How can I accompany you?" The person who spoke was driving an ox cart Uncle Zhou, a middle-aged strong man in his thirties, has a loud voice and a hearty smile.

"Smelly Daddy, how can I be naughty? Sister Yunyun is going to the county town for the first time, so I naturally want to take her to play together." Zhou Lanxin wrinkled her nose and stared at the back of Uncle Zhou's head dissatisfied.

Uncle Zhou teased Zhou Lanxin, and the atmosphere between the father and daughter seemed intimate and harmonious.

Zhao Yun was a little envious. In modern times, she rarely had a pleasant conversation with her father.

The person was hugged into a thin chest, Zhao Yun leaned back, looked up and saw Zhao Lin's warm smiling face, "Is it cold?"

Zhao Yun shook her head, "It's not cold." But she still huddled in Zhao Lin's arms and couldn't get out.Zhao Lin smiled and covered her with both hands before turning his head away and continuing to talk to Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi saw everything in his eyes, lowered his eyes, and answered Zhao Lin or Uncle Zhou's words one by one.

Soon, the county seat arrived.

The seven or eight meter high blue brick city wall extends to the east and west sides until it is out of sight.At the end of the road, in the center of the city wall, an arched city gate was wide open, with two red soft-armoured gatekeepers standing on each side, looking mighty and extraordinary.
