After a lively New Year, soon to be spring.After a few months of pressure, the brother in trouble went to the exam full of confidence.
Three days later, he was supported back.
When Li Qingling saw their pale faces, he was shocked and immediately called for Old Man Xue.
After Old Man Xue came over, he took a look at his pulse, "It"s okay, I"m tired, just rest for a few days and I"ll be fine." As he said that, he gave them a list of the Spirit Calming Tea and told them to drink it before going to bed.
The brother collapsed in his chair and said in unison that they wanted to take a bath.
They smelled it all over their bodies and wanted to take a good bath.
Li Qingling ordered a servant to help them bathe, and after that, they could eat something. After drinking the Spirit Calming Tea, they would go to sleep.
Only on the second day, after seeing that they were in good spirits, did she completely relax.
She didn"t dare to ask about their grades? He was worried that if they failed the exam badly, they would be hurt.
It will be announced in a few days, and we"ll know when the time comes.
It was obvious that Liu Zhimo and the others were only following this mindset, and did not ask about their results at all. They only told them to eat and sleep well, and not to think too much about it.
They were grateful, so they obeyed their family"s wishes, eating what they needed to eat, drinking what they needed to drink, and having raised them for two days, their spirits were restored.
On the day the rankings were released, Li Qingling became anxious and began pacing back and forth in his room.
After Liu Zhimo finished drawing, he looked up and glanced at Li Qingling, telling her not to worry, no matter how nervous he was, it was useless.
Besides, they were still young and they couldn"t pa.s.s the examination this time. They could take the examination next time, so what was there to worry about?
"Aren"t I worried that one wouldn"t pa.s.s the examination? When the time comes, I won"t even know how to comfort others. "
Taking a big step to Li Qingling"s side, Liu Zhimo reached out his hands to push her down on the chair, then lowered his head to meet her eyes, "Don"t worry, if it"s really like that, I"ll go and comfort them." If they couldn"t even handle such a small blow, then they might as well not take the exam and just find a random school to teach them.
One had to know that the official territory"s water depth was very deep. If one wasn"t careful, they would fall into the bottomless abyss.
"You?" Li Qingling looked at him suspiciously, extended a finger and poked him in the chest, mercilessly hitting him, "If you don"t hit them, you"re just laughing, you still want to comfort them?" She wouldn"t believe him even if he beat her to death.
For the girls at home, he would also use an encouraging method. Boys, don"t even think about it.
If he didn"t ruthlessly beat them up, that would already be considered good. How could he still go and comfort them?
Pinching Li Qingling"s nose, Liu Zhimo said snappily, "In your eyes, is your husband that kind of person? "Hmm?"
Without hesitation, Li Qingling nodded his head and agreed.
He was the one and she had not wronged him.
Giving her a deep look, he put his hand on the back of her head, fiercely kissed her, and released her. "Still? Think carefully before answering. "
"..."
This man was clearly threatening her. She helplessly rolled her eyes, shook her head, and said, "No."
A wise man is a great man... She was a sensible person.
"Good boy …" Liu Zhimo caressed her head and kissed her twice, then pulled her up and walked out, "The servant should be back soon, let"s go wait at the Flower Hall."
The two of them went to the parlour. Before they could sit down, the attendant rushed in happily, panting as he said, "Yes, yes, yes, two …" "Second Young Master, even Third Young Master got it." Breathing heavily, he continued, "The second young master is a member, while the third young master is in third place."
Hearing that, Liu Zhimo waved his hand, and happily said: "Alright, rewards … …"
"Thank you, milord."
Liu Zhiyan and Li Qingfeng slowly let go of each other"s hands, and the two of them looked at each other, and quietly sighed.
Actually, they were quite nervous as well. They were afraid that they wouldn"t be able to pa.s.s the examination. They didn"t expect their results to be so good.
These few months of hard work were worth it.
"I can"t relax, there"s still the Hall Compet.i.tion." Mr. Luo beat them up again in a timely manner, preventing them from relaxing. They still had to continue to be alert and take care of the Hall Compet.i.tion.
"Yes, Grand Master."
At this time, Old Man Liu, who had heard the news, excitedly ran to the County Lord"s Mansion and patted Liu Zhiyan"s and his shoulders, and shouted loudly.
He had high hopes for these two children. They would definitely have a promising future. As expected …
Liu Zhimo and Li Qingfeng were slapped until their mouths gaped in pain, they laughed bitterly at the same time, it was so painful …
"Let"s celebrate! Yan"Er and Feng Er got such a good ranking, we must celebrate!"
Mr. Luo lightly glanced at Old Man Liu, and directly splashed a bucket of cold water on him. To celebrate, one had to wait until after the Hall Compet.i.tion, to celebrate, but to do it, they had to not be disturbed right now.
If it was the past, Old Man Liu would have already gone on a rampage. Now that he was so happy that he couldn"t find the north, hearing Mr. Luo"s words, he felt that it made sense and nodded in agreement.
He wanted to write the post first and send it out after the Hall Compet.i.tion.
In any case, he had great confidence in his two children and believed that they would definitely be able to get a good ranking.
"Review well. Grandpa will be waiting for your good news."
"Alright, grandfather."
He took the opportunity to find an excuse and slip back into his room.
Old Man Liu sat on the chair, the wrinkles on his face blossoming into a smile. He turned his head to look at Li Qingling, "Xiao Ling, where are the three children?" He had not seen three children in a day, and his mind was empty.
Therefore, he would come here every day to see the three children.
"The dumplings and the buns are taking their sister to the garden to play." When Li Qingling thought about his three children, the smile on his face deepened.
Xiaoxiao loved to grow vegetables, so she kept a garden in the backyard for her to play with. She was rather meticulous in her heart as she picked up her shovel every day to hoe gra.s.s and loose soil …
The dumpling steamed buns once saw it, so they had to go with it. However, after going there once, they would think about running into the garden every day.
This little sister of hers doted on them quite a bit, so they took them along whenever they wanted to.
"Let me see them go." After Old Man Liu finished this sentence, he stood up and walked out with large strides.
When he went to the garden, he saw Xiaoxiao holding a small face as she lectured Steamed Bun.
"Steamed Bun, this is a vegetable seed. You can"t pull it out. If you pull it out, there"s no more food to eat."
"Sis …" Steamed Bun grabbed a vegetable seedling and handed it over to Xiaoxiao with a smile. "Sis …" "Ahh …"
The little brother whose face was covered in dirt sighed, he took out the kerchief and helped him wipe the dirt off his face, "You can"t pull it out randomly, understand? You learn from your brother, okay? "
"No …."
"..."
Xiaoxiao simply held Steamed Bun"s hand and seriously taught him how to identify the weeds.
"Stupid …" Dumplings stuck out his little b.u.t.t and pulled out a blade of gra.s.s. He turned his head to look at Steamed Bun and spat out a word.
His brother was too stupid to tell the difference between weeds and vegetables.
"..."
He gave the dumpling a small glance and gently squeezed his little hand, "Dumpling, Steamed Bun is our little brother. You can"t call him stupid, he will be sad."
"Stupid …" Dumpling said again.
"Stupid …" Steamed Bun imitated Dumplings" words, "Sis …" "Stupid …" As he finished, he chuckled, as if this was a very funny thing to do.
"..."
She looked at the dumplings, then at the steamed buns and sighed. A younger brother was too smart and a younger brother was too stupid. She felt very tired.
Can"t his two younger brothers" IQ balance a little bit?
After hearing what he had said for so long, Old Man Liu couldn"t help but burst out laughing.
As he turned around, his eyes brightened up when he saw Old Man Liu. He called him Great Grandfather loudly.
"Elder …" Steamed Bun let go of his tiny hands and stumbled towards Old Man Liu.
Old Man Liu promptly walked up and picked him up, "Aiyo, grandpa"s bun, did you miss grandpa?"
"Yes …" Steamed Bun looked at Old Man Liu"s shiny eyes and said, "Fly … …"
Understanding the meaning behind Steamed Bun"s words, Old Man Liu laughed out loud. As expected of a descendant of the Liu Family, he was bold.
"Alright, alright, Great Grandfather will fly you." Old Man Liu smiled and nodded, then looked at the dumpling that was looking at him the whole time, and reached out his hand to pick him up, "Dumpling, do you want to fly?"
Although the two great-grandchildren looked similar, their personalities were as different as heaven and earth.
The dumplings are intelligent and the dumplings are naive.
However, no matter what, he was still his grandson.
Dumpling nodded his small head and made a sound. The excitement in his eyes betrayed his mood.
"Xiao-Xiao, wait until great-grandfather and his little brothers finish flying, then take Xiao-Xiao flying!"
"No need, Great Grandfather. I"ve grown up a little, I can"t fly anymore." Xiaoxiao shook her head. "Great Grandfather, be careful. Don"t tire yourself out."
Hearing such thoughtful and considerate words, Old Man Liu"s mood was extremely good. After praising them for a little bit, he carried his two great-grandchildren and flew up in his arms.
The entire backyard heard Steamed Bun Dumpling giggling.
The corners of Xiaoxiao"s lips curled up into a smile as she continued to loosen the soil with the shovel.
By the time she had finished with the pine trees in the vegetable patch, the two younger brothers were having a good time.
Looking at their rosy cheeks, he reached out his hand to pinch them before stroking their backs, "Alright, you can"t play anymore. It"s time to go back and change your clothes." If you don"t change your clothes quickly, you"ll catch cold.
"Our little sister is a good one. She will take care of little brother." Old Man Liu complimented her with a smile. "Come, let"s go back and change. Your uncle and your uncle got struck by a Scholar"s Luck. Let"s celebrate tonight."
"Really?" Her small eyes lit up. "Then I"ll go congratulate uncle and uncle." She even made a small purse for her little uncle and uncle to give to them later.
"Slow down, don"t fall."
Xiao Xiaoxiao replied as she ran back to her own courtyard in quick steps. After changing her clothes, she took out the small purse she made and went to look for Liu Zhiyan and Li Qingfeng.
Liu Zhimo was in the study room with Li Qingfeng, and when he saw Xiaoxiao coming over, he stopped writing and called out to his with a smile.
Xiaoxiao raised her head and congratulated them with a smile on the fact that they had won a place in the Hall Compet.i.tion. Then, she gave them her small purse, hoping that they would be able to get a good ranking in the Hall Compet.i.tion.
"Thank you for your kind words."
