Chapter 309 Crossing the River and Destroying the Bridge
Mrs. Lin couldn't help but walked forward for a while, tiptoeing to look and look.
After a while, she turned back and said, "I heard Rong'er's name! It seems like someone has gone in."
Having said that, everyone still didn't leave. Until the daylight broke, everyone went in, and the test takers also left one after another. Only then did Mrs. Lin look at Tang Qingshan: "Then, shall we go back first?"
Tang Qingshan hummed, put the cloak back on his daughter, and patted lightly: "It's all right, go to sleep."
Xinbao originally wanted to say that she was not sleepy, but she got up too early, and fell asleep in a daze after a while.
As a result, she fell asleep and dreamed of her big rock:
『The writing brush fell to the ground, broke into two pieces, and then scattered. Someone exclaimed: "Copy it!" ! 』
Xinbao woke up immediately.
Her heart was pounding, and her first reaction was that someone had tampered with her second brother's pen.
But this sentence has no subject, and the picture on the stone, apart from an open cheat sheet on the ground, there are many people panicking around, and some people are breaking the writing brush, which is also a cheat sheet.
Xinbao hurriedly crawled under the bed, and Yuru who was sitting in front of the bed was taken aback: "Xinbao? What's the matter? Are you sleepy?"
Xinbao asked anxiously, "Who's at home?"
"Who is Xinbao looking for?" Yuru said, "Your parents have gone out and said they are going to the blacksmith's shop, and your fourth brother has gone to the Shen's house."
Xinbao hesitated, and then said: "Where's Uncle Yuan?"
"Master Hou is at home," Yuru knelt down and put on her shoes, "Xinbao wants to find Master Hou?"
"That's right," Xinbao murmured, "I want to find Lord Hou, I have something urgent!"
Yuru didn't ask anything, put on her cloak, and carried her to the front study.
As soon as it was put on the ground, Xinbao let go of his calves and ran inside.
This, this is God's will! !
Grandpa Yuan just explained to her the meaning of the imperial examination yesterday.
This matter is very serious. If it really breaks out, it will be a scandal. No matter Liang Ruoxu, the second brother, or the old man Yuan, they will definitely be implicated, let alone Yan Shenjue and Tang Qingshan are not at home, even if they Now, I can't deal with it. In the end, I still have to tell the old man to deal with it.
She rushed in, and Mr. Yuan was taken aback by her: "Xin Baoer? What's wrong?"
Xinbao quickly went around, climbed onto his chair, sat on the armrest, and covered his ears with his small hands, "Uncle, there are strange writing brushes in the examination room. There seems to be a lot of rolled up cheat sheets!!"
The old man's eyes flashed fiercely.
He asked, "How do you know?"
She said anxiously: "Xinbao can't tell, but Xinbao can't be wrong, Xinbao didn't miss it! You must believe me."
The old man looked at her deeply.
At that moment, his eyes were extremely sharp, shrewd and sophisticated, truly showing the edge of an old fox in court.
But immediately, he withdrew his eyes and said softly, "How many?"
"Don't know, but there seem to be many."
"Do you remember what that pen looked like?"
"Remember."
"Do you remember who it was?"
"People..." Xinbao looked carefully: "I can only see one person's face clearly, no, two people's faces, one is very panicked, and the other... is the one who broke the brush, with a slightly eccentric."
Elder Yuan once again took a deep look at her.
Xinbao knew that in front of such old foxes, every time she uttered a word, they would be able to guess a lot.
But at the same time, only when they know enough information can they make the best response.
So she knows everything she can say, and she can say everything.
She looked at him with unblinking black grape eyes, so serious that she was almost solemn.
Elder Yuan asked a few more questions, and finally nodded: "Okay, Uncle understands, thank you Xinbaoer."
He stood up, patted her on the back, and said in a gentle voice, "son, don't be afraid."
After a pause, he patted again: "Don't be afraid, Uncle knows it well."
Immediately, he called Yuru in, held Xinbao in his arms, and then called a man named Zhang Ping in, and took them out. Soon, he bought the brush that was exactly the same as in the dream.
Zhang Ping bought a lot, and then Yuru came back with Xinbao in his arms.
Xinbao was in a state of tension all the time, until he came back for a long time before he slowly calmed down, his eyes still wide open in a daze.
She went through the whole thing in her mind like a ruminant.
She was thinking, the old man Yuan said twice, don't be afraid, the first time, he should be telling her that he will solve this matter satisfactorily, and it won't affect the second elder brother's imperial examination, right?
The second time... It should be telling her that he will not tell others her secret.
If it was said that this matter happened before yesterday, she might be very worried, but after talking about it yesterday, she suddenly became less worried.
She is willing to believe in him, and in the integrity of a gentleman.
Xinbao was dazed for a long time, until a candied haws dangled in front of his eyes.
Xinbao blinked her eyes, and her eyes followed the candied haws, as if she was being held by a small rope.
Mrs. Lin laughed and said, "I see you motionless from afar, just like a fake doll, why are you so preoccupied?"
Xinbao said sweetly: "I miss Aunt, I want to buy sweets for the most beautiful Aunt!"
Mrs. Lin couldn't help laughing: "My heart has learned how to coax people?"
She gave her the candied haws, and Xinbao started to eat them.
I have to say that sweets are really the god of healing. Anyway, Ah Wu took a bite and bit the sweet and sour taste into her mouth. Xinbao felt that all "adult troubles" were emptied with one click. She couldn't help but turn to her parents, Showing a smirk with toothless eyes.
Parents refused to eat it, so Xinbao finished eating the candied haws by himself, and the face was covered with sugar. Mrs. Lin fetched water, tied the small handkerchief under her neck, and pressed her head Wash her face a few times.
Then wiped it dry, lighted a little balm, and rubbed her hands evenly.
Xinbao's face was warm, she opened her hands and rushed over, snuggling into A Niang's softness, feeling lazy.
After a long time, Dad said: "Xinbao, what happened?"
Xinbao let out a cry, and told his parents about the matter. Mrs. Lin didn't understand these things very well, so she turned her eyes to Tang Qingshan.
Tang Qingshan said: "You mean, this may be...someone set up a trap to target Lord Hou or Liang Ruoxu? Or is it because someone came out of this way and brought the transcript into the examination room, thinking To cheat?"
After Dad summed it up like this, Xinbao felt that her mind became clearer. She tilted her head and thought about it, and said seriously: "It may be to harm Uncle, because that person doesn't seem to know." She added: "The owner of the pen, I don't seem to know!"
Tang Qingshan nodded and said nothing more.
After lunch, the few people went out and got into the carriage, ready to go to the second floor of the reserved restaurant and wait for the release.
After getting into the carriage, the old man handed them a writing brush.
Tang Qingshan took it, and Xinbao followed suit.
This brush looks exactly the same as the one she bought. It even weighs about the same in the hand, and there is no stubble on the head. No matter how you look at it, it looks like an ordinary brush with a usable tip.
Then the old man motioned to him: "Break it open and have a look."
Tang Qingshan broke it open with both hands, and inside a thin layer of bamboo skin, there was tightly rolled paper with extremely small handwriting on it.
Grandpa Yuan sneered and said, "This has been planned for a long time!!"
Xinbao asked: "Then what did Uncle do?"
Grandpa Yuan smiled and said, "Guess?"
Xinbao: "..."
Cross the river and tear down the bridge! bad guy! !
