The master doesn't want the monk to say

Chapter 53

The results of the spring test are not announced until May.

That day Hua Ziyao took Chi Ruo out of the palace, one reason was that Chi Ruo wanted to pick up Xiao Lian because Changyuan Academy was on holiday;

When receiving Xiao Lian, Chi Ruo shook the candied fruit in his hand, patted his head, and said that he seemed to have grown taller again.

When we met last time, Chi Ruo said the same thing, but in Hua Ziyao's view, Xiao Lian didn't change at all.

"How's Daddy doing this half month?" Xiao Lian asked while eating candied fruit.

Chi Ruo thought about it, "Very good."

"How is Xiaojiu this half month?" Xiaolian's mouth was bulging, and he looked like a little squirrel, very cute.

"It's also very good," Chi Ruo held Xiao Lian's hand, "Xiao Jiu heard that you were studying in Changyuan Academy, and said that you can't catch up with him, and now he is very serious."

Xiao Lian smiled and narrowed his eyes, "I didn't see him last time I went back!"

Chi Ruo said: "I have told him that you will return to the palace in a few days, and he will come to you when the time comes."

"That's great!" Xiao Lian clenched his hand holding the candied fruit into a fist, "We'll have a good comparison!"

Hua Ziyao folded her arms and said coldly, "Compared to what? You can't compare!"

"Bad guy!" Xiao Lian turned his head and glared at Hua Ziyao, "Why are you still here?"

Hua Ziyao picked up the topic just now, "I'm sure you can't compare, you've only been studying for a few days? I don't know how high the sky is and the earth is thick, a hairless tail can stick up to the sky!"

"Hmph!" The first thing Xiao Lian did when he came back from the academy was to stop fighting if he couldn't, find the next opportunity, and fight back fiercely.

Chi Ruo protected Xiao Lian, and before coming to pick him up, he had already told Hua Ziyao repeatedly, don't quarrel with Xiao Lian for a while, and don't ridicule him or argue with him.

But now it seemed as if he had completely forgotten what he said, and began to ridicule Xiao Lian again.

Chi Ruo stretched out his hand, squatted down, "Xiao Lian, Daddy hug." Holding Xiao Lian, Chi Ruo felt that this was a very effective way of comforting him.

But Xiao Lian rejected Chi Ruo very rarely, "Daddy, try not to hug me in the future, I'm already in school, I can't let Daddy hug me all the time, I will be laughed at."

Chi Ruo was a little surprised and disappointed, and comforted: "Who is laughing at you? You are not in the academy anymore, why didn't you give me a hug after seeing you for half a month?"

Xiao Lian thought about it, and felt that it seemed reasonable. He wanted Chi Ruo to hug him at first, but he was embarrassed. Now that Chi Ruo found a step for him, he naturally climbed down along it.

Seeing Xiao Lian stretch out his hand and take two steps towards Chiruo, Hua Ziyao stepped forward, "Who says no one laughs?"

He pointed to himself, "I can laugh!"

"Xiao Lian, you are not young, right? You should be six years old this year, right?" Hua Ziyao pointed to Xiao Lian's forehead, "You are still studying in the academy, why do you still want to be hugged by your father?"

"A child is a child!" Hua Ziyao shook her head seriously, "If you don't grow up, you won't grow up, and if you don't understand, you don't understand."

Xiao Lian was very dissatisfied with Hua Ziyao's talk, puffed up his cheeks, and stared at Hua Ziyao.

Hua Ziyao was a little complacent, she didn't feel that she was bullying a child at all, she smiled flatteringly at Chiruo, but Chiruo gave Chiruo a helpless and reproachful look.

But soon Hua Ziyao couldn't laugh anymore, Xiao Lian retorted, "A bad person is a bad person, if you don't get Daddy, you won't get Daddy!"

Hua Ziyao was stunned for a moment, but before he could refute, Chi Ruo blushed and reprimanded in a low voice: "Hua Ziyao, don't say any more!"

Seeing that his father seemed to be a little angry, Xiao Lian felt that he shouldn't show off his tongue for a while, so he walked up to Chi Ruo's side and called out cautiously: "Daddy..."

Chi Ruo picked up Xiao Lian and said to him calmly: "Xiao Lian, don't talk about this anymore."

This time it was Hua Ziyao who was dissatisfied, "Why didn't you say it?"

Seeing Chiruo glaring at him again, he hastened to add: "You can't say bad things, you have to say good things, good words to know each other!"

Chi Ruo was speechless, "Nothing can be said."

Xiao Lian nodded obediently, "I will listen to Daddy."

Hua Ziyao let out a "hum" and didn't say anything in the end. The biggest one of the candied haws she bought was passed to the monk's mouth, but in Chiruo's eyes, she obediently passed it to the child, and then Chiruo ate it by herself The smallest and most sour.

The smallest and most sour hawthorn is eaten into the mouth, and the mouth is sour, and it falls to the heart, and the heart is also sour.

Walking to the place where the list was revealed, before it was time to reveal the list, the front of the list was already crowded with people.

Hua Ziyao walked to the side steps, looked around, but didn't see the young man in green shirt, the young scholar and the young man from the He family.

Most of the people who are waiting to be announced here are some scholars who were not involved in the dispute that day, or escaped a catastrophe, and were not taken away.

"Huh?" Chi Ruo suddenly looked towards a corner, "It's that scholar."

Hua Ziyao looked up, it turned out to be the young scholar who grabbed the young master's skirt that day, but in just over a month, the scholar's brows lost a bit of his unique arrogance, instead they became more gloomy, and his whole person seemed a little bit energetic look.

Hua Ziyao became interested.

Chi Ruo also noticed it, and was a little puzzled, "It's only been a month, why do I feel that he is different from before?"

"I think so too." Hua Ziyao said.

"Did something happen to him?" Chi Ruo looked at Hua Ziyao.

Hua Ziyao smiled and said, "If you want to know, I will find out."

Chi Ruo shook his head, "Forget it, I just hope he won't be discouraged by this, and don't go astray."

"It's hard to say."

The crowd suddenly became noisy, and half a stick of incense had arrived.

The guards uncovered the red list, and the crowd boiled up, pushing forward and back in a hurry, shouting excited but incomprehensible words.

The young scholar standing in the corner saw the red list opened, his eyes lit up, he took a step forward, but stopped again, his eyes were gloomy, he bit his lip, as if he didn't know how to deal with himself.

Hua Ziyao saw this scene in his eyes and found it interesting.

"Shen Qing is the champion." Chi Ruo has good eyesight and saw the names on the list.

Xiao Lian stood aside, "Daddy, will I be number one in the future?"

Chi Ruo laughed, "Do you want to be the champion?"

"I see that everyone misses it very much, and everyone in the academy misses it very much." Xiao Lian explained.

Chi Ruo didn't answer directly, but just told him, "You can't say that now, when you grow up, maybe you just want to be a pastry chef?"

This was once Xiao Lian's ideal, especially when eating plum cakes.

"I want to make plum cakes and red bean cakes, and I want to put a peach blossom on top," Xiao Lian was distracted, and began to count the cakes he might make in the future, "Osmanthus cake and sweet-scented osmanthus are actually delicious... "

"Who is Shen Qing?" The onlookers began to tell each other, but no one knew who Shen Qing was.

"The young master of He Mansion is ranked second," Hua Ziyao told Chi Ruo, "I have read his articles, he is a bit talented, but he is arrogant and arrogant, and his words are full of bullshit!"

Chi Ruo glanced at Hua Ziyao, "But he is ranked second."

"Where's the young scholar?" Chi Ruo looked to the corner, but found that there was no one there, and at some point, the scholar had quietly left.

"No.5," Hua Ziyao said, "I've also read his article, perhaps inspired by what happened that day, the article is impulsive, but it is clear and has merit."

Hua Ziyao had long since discovered that the young scholar had already left after knowing that he was not in the top three. He said, "He was originally not on the list, but I gave him this ranking."

"No.5 is already very good," Chi Ruo said, "Why did he leave alone?"

Hua Ziyao said: "The spring test is over, the top three can take part in the palace test, and have the opportunity to meet the Holy One to test whether the top three in the spring test are qualified."

"That is to say," Chi Ruo thought for a while, "he has no chance to enter the palace."

Hua Ziyao said: "If you don't have the opportunity to meet the emperor's ranking like this, the one who will be assigned to him will either be someone who takes the blame for others, or will be a mediocre person who will never be able to make his mark."

"It's a devastating blow to a scholar like him who is young and arrogant, who thinks of himself as high." Hua Ziyao squinted her eyes, but it was not like this young man's style to leave in such a disheartened manner.

Chi Ruo said indifferently: "Is this what you are after?"

"It's not like this from generation to generation," Hua Ziyao said, "It's just that now the emperor has no real power, and Qi Gong secretly dictatorships, and there is no virtue or morality, which made the current situation."

"If you really want to strictly follow the rules and regulations, the spring test and the autumn test will be a fairer opportunity that everyone in the world can get."

Chiruo looked at the chaotic crowd around him, coming and going, some cheered and ran like crazy, some angrily scolded the injustice of heaven, some had no choice but to resent their low birth...

"Amitabha!"

……

Hua Ziyao saw that Chi Ruo didn't want to stay here anymore, so she took Chi Ruo and left.

Xiao Lian also saw the strange and crazy behavior of these people, and secretly thought that he would rather not be the champion than be like them.

At least, he has never seen pastry chefs behave strangely, they only make delicious and delicate pastries.

Chi Ruo promised Xiao Lian to go to the pastry shop to buy things. Once he left the place where the list was announced, there were a lot fewer people, but most of the people on the street were asking each other who "Shen Qing" was.

Strange to say, this year's champion of the new division, no one knows where he came from, what he looks like, or even where he lives now.

Everyone wants to be the first person to announce the good news to the champion, so that they can get a red envelope for the good news, and they also want to feel happy for themselves.

The mystery of the champion of the new department caused a trend in Beijing that whoever finds the champion first can get a big red envelope.

I don't know who passed it on.

For a while, the two sons who won the second place and Tanhua, but no one cared about it, the family servant of his own mansion went to see it and came back to inform.

But this is also expected, but there is no such sense of surprise in the house.

Especially the young master of the He Mansion, when he heard that he had won the second place, he was not at all happy, "What do you pay for what you already know!"

He yelled at his servant, "If you have time to spare, why don't you go and bring him back to my young master!"

The servant was thankless, so he answered "yes" and quickly retreated.

……

Xiao Lian didn't let Chi Ruo lead him, and ran forward happily.

If Chi Ruo told him to run slower, Xiao Lian turned his head and agreed, but he didn't notice someone in front of him and bumped into him.

The man was knocked back a step, seeing that Xiao Lian was knocked crooked and was about to fall backwards, the man hurriedly took a step forward, wanting to help.

Someone behind the child has already picked him up.

Hua Ziyao took a step forward and rushed over to prevent the child from falling off his back.

Chi Ruo stepped forward, "Huh? The benefactor was from that day..."

Hua Ziyao took a step forward calmly, half blocked Chi Ruo, hugged Xiao Lian, and smiled at the handsome young man who was still only wearing a green shirt: "Congratulations to the new champion, congratulations to young master Shen Qing."
