After all, Qin Muwen had read this book at least two years ago. As a result, until now, he can tell the whole story without any clutter.
He remembered the names of every place and the wonders and sights here very clearly.
After Qin Muwen finished speaking, he realized that he had finished drinking a glass of water.
With a shy expression on his face, he said, "A Jin, I wasted your time."
Li Jin put the sleeping little bun on the inside of the bed. Now that the little bun has begun to learn to turn over, Li Jin is worried that he will accidentally fall under the bed.
Then he took the little husband in his arms, "I really like hearing you talk."
Qin Muwen's voice is clear, and when he tells it, people can't help being immersed in it, falling into the world he built with language.
Li Jin said, "Didn't I say before that I want to teach you how to write? Are you interested in practicing?"
Although Qin Muwen yearned for it, he still insisted: "A Jin's county test is important, and I can't delay A Jin's time."
"I have finished reviewing the content of the county exam. Besides, the exam is a cumulative process, and it is not advisable to crawl.
Wenwen, come with me. "
Qin Muwen's basic skills in writing are very solid, but because he hasn't practiced for a long time, he can't help but feel unfamiliar.
What he learned was the small script of hairpins, which is the most common type of hairpin among the children of the official family.
Li Jin said: "It's well written, do you still have a favorite font?"
Qin Muwen shook his head. He was actually very natural in some respects. Before that, his family asked him to learn any words, and he followed suit.
Li Jin laughed, holding his hand and correcting some small mistakes for him.
"Although your writing is good, but in the 'vertical' here in small letters, you need to pick up the pen first..."
Qin Muwen had a cold case in front of him, and Li Jin's warm chest behind him. He didn't even know what Li Jin taught him, but he felt that his face burned when he came out of the study.
It's clear that A Jin didn't do anything, just taught him how to practice calligraphy... How could he think wrong!
Qin Muwen waited until the heat on his face dissipated before going to Xiao An's house.
Xiao An took him to his bedroom. Now that he has a body, the ground dragon has also been burned in the room, and there is a bowl of egg custard on the table next to him.
"Strange, Awen, why is your face a little red because I'm too hot here?"
Xiao An said, "No, your house is also very hot. When I went to your house before, your face was not red."
Qin Muwen didn't know how to proceed with this topic, but when Xiao An saw his expression, he showed a clear smile.
The two then chatted quietly together.
"Your husband is back?"
"Um."
"Did you love you just now?"
Qin Muwen's face turned red, and he emphasized, "No, it's still daytime!"
"Then why are you so red?"
"Just... my husband taught me to practice calligraphy..."
"So you're thinking crooked? In the study?" Sure enough, the best friend is always the best friend.
"Small! Ann!"
The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was early February.
Li Jin finally set foot on the road to the county town again. A few days ago, Qin Muwen was even more nervous than Li Jin, and he could hardly sleep at night.
But in front of Li Jin during the day, he forced himself to be calm.
Li Jin said, "Don't be afraid."
Qin Muwen didn't speak, just gave him a deep hug.
Because at this time, as a family member, no matter saying 'I hope your title in the gold list' or 'the test result is not important', it will put a lot of pressure on the candidates.
Qin Muwen also knew this. He only used his actions to show that as long as A Jin was fine, he didn't care about anything.
Li Jin's mentality is good. At this time, it is rare to tease his little husband: "Can you count the things that you promised me yesterday?"
Qin Muwen was stunned for a moment, then remembered that A Jin was holding himself in a sleepless state yesterday, and said, "If I pass the county test this time, next time we do it, you will be on top, okay?"
Qin Muwen buried his head in Li Jin's neck.
In fact, no matter what Li Jin does or wants to do, he can do it... But asking such a serious question really doubles the sense of shame.
But Qin Muwen has never been an awkward person, always answering questions about her husband's words.
He said, "Counting."
Li Jin smiled, rubbed his head, then picked up the little bun and said to him, "Daddy, be good."
The smile on Xiao Baozi's face was extremely joyous, and he slapped Li Jin's face after imitating Li Jin's way of kissing him.
This time, when I went to the county seat, I took the ox cart of Chen Xiran's family, but in addition to the driver, there was also a book boy who served Chen Xiran.
Chen Xiran looked helpless: "I originally said I didn't want it, but my mother felt that I was useless, and said that if I traveled for too long, I was worried that I would be hungry and thin, and she insisted that I bring a book boy."
Li Jin found that he actually had a relationship with this book boy.
At the earliest, he brought a purse sewn by Qin Muwen, and Chen Xiran forced the book boy to copy books for him in the yard.
Chen Xiran probably thought of this, and explained: "Well, Mr. Song found out about copying the book, and he beat my hand and told my parents. Then they only asked the book boy to supervise my endorsement, and they were not allowed to help me. I copied the book."
With the previous experience, after the group of four arrived at the county seat at night, they first found an inn in the outer city to work together.
Li Jin and Chen Xiran each have a room, and the driver and the book boy have a room.
Originally, Li Jin said last time that he would help the driver pay half of the room fee. After all, he came by Chen Xiran's bullock cart.
But Chen Xiran was reluctant to accept it: "Even without you, my master and I have to live separately, and we have to pay the same room fee. A Jin has helped me so much with my studies, how can I see outsiders at this time?"
Li Jin just gave up.
Early in the morning the next day, Li Jin and Chen Xiran went to the inner city to find an inn. They wanted to find a hotel that was closer to the county government office, so that it would be convenient for the exam the next day.
However, the number of candidates who participated in the county exam this time was less than 500. When the two went, many inns had already been booked.
But there are still a few hotels with vacancies.
"We only have one room left here, but this is a suite, divided into inner and outer rooms. If you two don't dislike it, you can make a living together."
Chen Xiran and Li Jin decided to live here. It's a little bit closer at this time. They have to take the entrance exam early in the morning, and it would be too troublesome to live far away.
The book boy and the driver stayed at the inn in the outer city.
At night, when Li Jin slept, he was still thinking that he would have to queue up to check for entrainment before dawn, and what would he do if he slept.
Chen Xiran was also worried about this, but it was unrealistic to not rest all night.
In the end, the two of them summed up and gave Xiao Er some errands to knock on the door tomorrow morning.
Before dawn the next day, Li Jin opened his eyes, and when he was getting dressed, there was movement from Chen Xiran's side.
He said, "My mother would be very moved if she knew that I woke up before dawn."
When Xiao Er came, he found that the two guests had been groomed properly.
He knew that this had nothing to do with him, so he went to the back kitchen to prepare porridge.
Li Jin opened the door, and the tip of his nose was filled with the smell of soil in the early morning. He checked his post and ink for the last time, packed it in a bamboo basket, and went straight downstairs.
After the meal, the two walked only 200 meters to reach the county office.
The north gate is the main gate, also known as the 'Dragon Gate'. A shed has been built in front of the door, guarded by yamen on both sides, and only one person is allowed to pass in the middle.
Earlier, the magistrate issued a notice saying that candidates for the county exam are only allowed to wear a thin jacket, and offenders are not allowed to enter the exam room.
This is also for the purpose of body search and convenient for checking entrainment.
The author has something to say:
Writing that Li Jin will not crawl before the test, it reminds me of a college bully in our high school class who never reads the textbook or does the questions before the test. Every time I asked her a question, I found out that she was reading something like 'Lu Xun's Anthology', and the result was always in the top ten of the grade. Finally, the big guy went to the Computer Science Department of Tsinghua University.
