A few days before the test, Lin Mo would go to the second brother's place, or go out with him. Now Lin Xiu has only his younger brother Lin Mo by his side. Although Cheng Yan is his brother-in-law, Lin Xiu's attitude towards him is no longer as arbitrary as before.
After knowing Cheng Yan's identity, Lin Xiu knew that only Lin Mo could get along with him as before. However, seeing that the two of them are still the same as before, Lin Xiu is also relieved.
Now the second brother is alone with him, and his parents are still on their way, so Lin Mo naturally needs to pay attention to the situation of the second brother.
In the past half a year before Lin Mo's college entrance examination, his parents and brothers began to get nervous. In order to supplement his nutrition, the two elders even cooked for him. The second brother came from the company to pick him up every day until the end of the college entrance examination.
At that time, Lin Mo only felt that they were making a fuss out of a molehill, after all, it was just a college entrance examination. And his grades have always been among the best, there is no need for them to be so surprised.
Now, Lin Mo knew how his family felt at that time. Even if it wasn't for him to go to the scientific research, Lin Mo would still feel nervous.
In the past few days, Lin Mo also cooks for his second brother himself. Of course, Cheng Yan, who had been left out for a few days, was sitting around all the time.
The Luoqing courtyard where the second brother lives has a small kitchen. Lin Mo usually cooks here these days. Every time it's meal time, Cheng Yan, who is eating lunch, will also come over.
"Take it here." Lin Mo washed his hands, and ordered the boy who was waiting by the side. As for the cleaning of the kitchen, of course it is left to other people.
"Yes, Mrs. Wang." The servant walked into the kitchen and took out a few dishes from the stove. After Mrs. Wang went out, the others went in and cleaned up the inside.
Lin Mo went to the side courtyard to change his clothes and then went there. When he entered, Lin Xiu and Cheng Yan had already been sitting there waiting, and Lin Mo went to sit next to Cheng Yan.
"I will try it tomorrow, let the back kitchen cook tonight." Lin Xiu said.
"Well, in the afternoon, I will start making some dry food for the test." Lin Mo said while eating.
There are three exams in the general examination, each three days, and you are not allowed to come out during the period. The exams, board and lodging during the period had to be in that small place. Lin Mo was worried that his second brother's health would not be able to bear it, so he planned to make some dry food for him.
"Just buy some casually." Lin Xiu frowned slightly.
Cheng Yan picked up food for Lin Mo, but he didn't say a word. He knew what Lin Mo wanted to insist on, and no one could persuade him.
"No, the ones made outside are not easy to preserve, and the ones that can be preserved are too dry." Lin Mo shook his head and refused.
"Father, mother, and the others haven't arrived yet, so I have to prepare these." Lin Mo said as he took a bite of the meatball.
"If mom and dad know that you are tossing so much, why don't you talk about me?" Lin Xiu said helplessly.
"It's not that I didn't cook when I was at home, why are you offering me as a porcelain doll now? It's not like I can't breathe after walking a few steps."
After waking up, he has been drinking spiritual spring water, and he has also increased the amount of drinking. Although this body can't be remodeled to heal the wound quickly after bleeding like a modern one, at least his face now has some blood.
However, the foundation of this body was flawed during the womb, and in the more than ten years from birth to before Lin Mo took over, it had not been well nourished with medicine. It is also difficult to maintain a healthy body now. If it were not for the spiritual spring water, Lin Mo would probably be in a state of a sickness every three days and a serious illness every five days.
"Well, but I still have to make up, your face looks a little rosy now." Cheng Yan nodded and continued his words. He still remembered Lin Mo's pale face, and it looks better now.
"Do you want to take medicine again?" Lin Mo paused and sighed inwardly. His body can be in the current state, which has nothing to do with those medicinal diets and soups, but he can't name the spiritual spring water.
It feels like all the medicines he had to take in his previous life have been counted to the present, and he eats medicine and soup every day. In fact, he cooks for himself and avoids eating these things, right? right
"I used to take the medicine to make up for your half-month period. Now that you are well, you don't need it. But you have to eat some nutritious food, such as bird's nest porridge, ginseng soup, wolfberry and lotus seeds."
The imperial doctor told Cheng Yan before that Lin Mo's body is only suitable for warming up slowly, and taking medicine once in a while is enough.
After lunch, Lin Mo and Cheng Yan went back to take a nap, and when they woke up in the afternoon, they went to the back kitchen to help the second brother try the food he needed. Cheng Yan originally planned to go with him, but was held back by a temporary matter.
Standing in front of the window, Cheng Yan looked down at the message on the note, with a cold face, the breath around him made the shadow guard's head lowered a bit.
"Recently, King Qi appeared in the prime minister's mansion? When did he enter the imperial city?" Cheng Yan held the note in his hand, looked up at the tree outside the window, and asked in a cold voice.
Among the few countries, only Qi State is slightly weaker than Yu State. The emperor of Qi State, whether it is the former emperor or the current emperor, is very ambitious. Although the two countries are now at peace, Cheng Yan knows that this is only the surface.
After Cheng Yan recovered his memory, his imperial brother told him about the situation at the border this year. Not long after Cheng Yan was injured and disappeared, there were several conflicts between Qi Guo and them at the border. But thinking of the information he just received, Cheng Yan felt that maybe those conflicts were premeditated, right
Can't wait
It looks like he's about to start closing the net too.
"Half a month ago, King Qi was seriously injured and was rescued by the prime minister's daughter." Ying Yi, who was wearing a mask, bowed his head respectfully.
"continue."
"Three days ago, a group of suspicious people appeared at the gate of the city, and finally disappeared near the back gate of the prime minister's mansion. The prime minister seemed unaware of this."
"It seems..." That is the possibility of knowing. However, even if it really has nothing to do with the Prime Minister, he will make them have a relationship...
"Go to the palace and tell Brother Huang about this."
"Yes, Master." Ying Yi said respectfully, then left in a flash.
Since you want to rebel against King Jing, then I will give you some more 'chips', the coldness in Cheng Yan's whole body is getting stronger.
"Cheng Yan, are you alright? I made some pastries, come and taste them." Lin Mo's voice came from a distance.
When Cheng Yan heard this, the coldness in his eyes faded instantly, and he lifted his foot to leave the study, "Okay, let's go now."
The next morning, Lin Mo, who kept in mind that today was the exam, woke up early. Glancing out of the window, and then at Cheng Yan who was still sleeping, Lin Mo thought for a while, and carefully removed the hand on his waist.
Lin Mo, who was about to get up and step over Cheng Yan, was suddenly pulled back.
"Woke you up?" Lin Mo looked up and saw that Cheng Yan had opened his eyes, which were still a little hazy.
"Get up so early?" Cheng Yan hugged the person in his arms tightly, his eyes half-opened and his voice hoarse.
"I'm going to send my second brother off." And Lin Mo planned to prepare cold boiled water mixed with spiritual spring water for his second brother. It could last nine days, but Lin Mo couldn't bear it.
Besides, he knew that for some candidates with backgrounds, the things prepared by their families were not necessarily worse than his.
"Forget it, let's get up." Cheng Yan poked hard on his collarbone, feeling a little depressed, usually at this time he is still soft in his arms, and today he will wake up an hour earlier.
Cheng Yan completely forgot that he was practicing martial arts in the yard in the past.
"Hiss, take it easy..." Lin Mo took a deep breath.
"It hurts? It seems that the lower mouth is a bit heavier..." Cheng Yan glanced down.
Lin Mo's body is too delicate, and if he accidentally touches it, there will be heavy bruises, especially at certain times. Cheng Yan gently touched the mark, then lowered his head and chirped.
"Fortunately, get up quickly, the second brother must have woken up." Lin Mo pushed his head away from his arms, and said helplessly.
"I'm usually still asleep at this time..." Cheng Yan sat up, watched Lin Mo get off the bed, and said in a low tone.
"You said before that you have been practicing martial arts in the yard for half an hour at this time, Yan Yan, haven't you noticed that you have become lazy?" Lin Mo glanced at him, picked up the clothes beside the bed and shook them. Put it on.
"...I'll do it." Cheng Yan choked on Lin Mo's address, got out of bed and took clothes for him to put on.
"Well, Yanyan is still very diligent." Lin Mo touched his head on tiptoe, and smiled slightly.
"..."
By the time they finished their breakfast, it was almost time. Steward Fu counted all the things and ordered them to be moved into the carriage. Lin Mo, Chengyan and Lin Xiu went out together.
"There is a can of ginseng slices in the food box. My second brother remembers to take one slice every day. If I can't hold on anymore, take a few more slices." Lin Mo urged.
The ginseng he uses is within a hundred years old and will not be too tonic. The ginseng slices have been soaked in Lingquan water, and the effect is similar to the tea that Lin Mo made for the second brother before. It is still very useful in refreshing the mind and eliminating mental fatigue.
"Yes." Lin Xiu nodded.
The things that his younger brother prepared for him were similar to what Yu Yange told him before entering the examination room, so he didn't think much about it.
Lin Mo told his second brother all the precautions he could think of, and he arrived at his destination not long after. When Lin Mo got out of the carriage, the two servants had already taken down the contents of the carriage. Some of the servants in Prince Cheng's mansion knew how to fight, so it didn't take much effort to carry a few parcels and two food boxes.
The test center is not in the palace, but it is on the way to the palace. Candidates must be searched before entering the examination room. In order to quickly complete this step, the examination room has four entrances. Generally, those with a background will choose the convenient channel, which is the ancient version of the VIP channel.
Lin Mo helped Cheng Yan get off the carriage, looked around, and found that there were many carriages parked by their side. Not far away, candidates were queuing up for inspection with their bags alone. Lin Mo couldn't help feeling that it is good to have background and privileges.
The inspector sitting on the side glanced casually at the stopped carriage and saw the logo of Prince Cheng's Mansion on the carriage, his heart almost jumped into his throat.
The middle-aged man took a few deep breaths to recover, and quickly got up and walked over quickly. Why didn't anyone tell him that there are people from His Royal Highness Cheng's residence among the candidates for this year's scientific examination? !
"His Royal Highness Cheng Wang, why did you come here in person?" The middle-aged man saluted Cheng Wang and said with a flattering smile. Although he had never seen His Royal Highness Cheng Cheng, he could guess it just by looking at the clothes.
"Bring someone over here." Cheng Yan glanced at him and said expressionlessly.
The middle-aged man trembled from the cold in Cheng Wang's eyes, but the smile on his face remained unchanged. As expected of His Royal Highness Cheng Wang, this look is not something ordinary people can bear.
"I'm going in, you two go back." Lin Xiu took a package from the boy's hand and waved to them.
"Second brother, remember to pay attention to your body and calm your mind." Lin Mo reminded with some concern.
In the previous life, the second elder brother was able to win the first prize, and Lin Mo believed in his ability. However, Lin Mo was still worried that the second elder brother might play tricks. After all, the second elder brother did not know what was going on behind their family before the scientific examination in his previous life.
"Second brother knows."
After watching Lin Xiu go in, Lin Mo got into the carriage with Cheng Yan and left. The direction of departure was the palace gate. After the kite-flying day was over, Ling Yi told him that he would go to the palace to find him today.
Perhaps Zero One wanted to tell him something.
At that time, he couldn't hide the hesitation and struggle in his eyes from Lin Mo.
