Chapter 309 The End of Autumn
The sunset in the evening, the stars at night, and the sunrise the next day...
There was constant laughter and joy on the top of the mountain.
The consequence of being too happy is that even the energetic girl becomes tired.
Jiang An, who had not slept all night, was carried down the mountain by her father.
She slept soundly on her old father's broad back, muttering in her sleep from time to time.
This is the seventh day of the Autumn Examination.
On the eighth day of the Autumn Examination, Jiang An yawned as she entered her father's study.
The little girl propped her head up on the small table nearby, her big eyes blinking as she watched her father handle various matters.
No matter whether it was military business or news from the secret group, her father could always come up with a solution immediately.
Occasionally, the prince would test Jiang An with some letters and memorials...
The little girl, holding a thin piece of paper in her chubby hands, could always give her father answers that surprised him.
Sometimes she handled things like the old fox Hu Yan, full of calculations, setting traps at every step; sometimes she was ruthless and ruthless, not giving the other party a chance to breathe.
The order in which these two appear depends entirely on the girl's mood.
Maybe she is eating a delicious cake at this moment, or maybe she is worrying about the big words that look like dog crawling.
"Aan, what do you want to eat for dinner..."
After Jiang Jichen had dealt with a mountain of affairs, he turned around and saw his precious daughter sleeping on a chair with her legs spread out.
With his two short legs resting on the back of the chair, his head resting on the table, and his paws spread out, he was sleeping soundly.
This little girl...
He laughed and cursed in his heart, but still stood up and carried his daughter to the couch.
"Tell Butler Sun to have dinner later..."
Guan Yan agreed and opened the door quietly.
The ninth day of the Autumn Examination is also the day when the Autumn Examination ends.
On this day, every family was busy preparing food and clean bedding for the students who had been in the Imperial Examination Hall for nine days...
The gate of Songhu Villa was packed with people, and everyone was waiting for the door to open.
The little girl sat in the carriage and looked out through the small window.
She pointed at the vendor selling stretchers, her face full of curiosity, "Why are there still people selling stretchers?"
Mrs. Huo, who came to pick up Huo Changming, also took a look and replied, "The autumn examination lasted nine days, and many students were physically exhausted, so they were carried out on the last day."
Some students were so tense for nine days in a row that they didn't dare to relax until the moment they walked out of the gate, and then collapsed to the ground.
The little girl held her face in her hands and clicked her tongue twice, "I hope Xingsang won't be carried out by his brother when he comes out..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd in the distance began to stir.
Mrs. Li and Mrs. Huo held hands together, looking nervous, "It's coming out...it's coming out!"
The two of them pushed their husbands and asked them to move forward and go and pick up their son.
The vermilion door opened, and students in plain clothes and with pale faces walked out.
They moved slowly, their limbs were stiff from sitting for so long, and nine days of exams had left these students with dull eyes.
Just looking at it makes me feel extremely resentful!
Jiang An, who was originally leaning against the small window, narrowed her eyes. The tension hidden deep in her bones came out for the first time, making her want to pick up the big knife again and rush forward to kill everyone with one blow!
The little girl shook her head to get rid of this dangerous thought.
A pair of clean and beautiful round eyes are still bright.
"Madam, it's the young master!"
Among the candidates with numb expressions, Huo Changming stood out because of his height.
At this moment, he was carrying one on his shoulder and holding another under his armpit, and was striding out.
He was leaving the examination room, but he was forced to walk out of the tragic battlefield~
Jiang An rubbed his round eyes and looked carefully.
Isn’t the person her brother is carrying on his shoulders Xing Sang?
Her mouth is really bright, right?
After Huo Changming walked out of the examination room, he did not look back, but let out a long sigh.
There was even some warmth in his eyes, and he shouted to the sky, "My young master... is finally free!"
God knows what a torture it is for a young man whose mind is not on the books of sages to spend the whole day reading about trivial matters!
And from today on, no matter what his ranking is, you are free!
His voice resounded through the sky, and everything around him fell silent for a moment...
Some students had already been embraced by their families, while others who were still single had their eyes reddened with emotion when they heard his sigh.
Mrs. Huo covered her face with a round fan and silently said in her heart: This is not my family... This is not my family...
As long as I refuse to admit it, it’s not mine!
But there was a passerby whose expression was hard to read who waved towards the Huo family's carriage.
Passerby: "Hey, Mrs. Huo, General Huo..."
"You guys are here to pick up the kids too~"
"Hey, isn't that your young master..."
Huo Changming, who had sharp ears, heard the noise here and took a look.
His parents, Xingsang's parents, and his sister!
It's all here!
The young master was carrying someone on his back, his smile almost reaching his ears.
"mother!"
"younger sister!"
Li Xingsang on his shoulder raised his hand tremblingly and squeezed out a few words from his throat, "Put me down..."
"My stomach."
He was already dizzy and feeling uncomfortable all over, and Huo Changming's shoulder poked his stomach, making him feel even more like vomiting.
Unexpectedly, the silly young master weighed him again and hugged him more tightly.
"Hey, don't look for your seat, we have finished the exam..."
"If you really like it, I will accompany you to find the governor someday and take the small box away and take it home!"
Li Xingsang: "You... idiot!"
Huo Changming was trying hard to squeeze out of the crowd at this moment. Hearing his scolding, he was quite unconvinced.
"I carried you out here, otherwise you should have been carried out on a stretcher!"
"I've saved your reputation as the most talented person in the North, why are you still cursing at me?"
Thank you so much.
Li Xingsang shut his mouth, not because he was in the wrong, but because he would really vomit if he opened his mouth again.
After picking up the people, the carriages and the crowd outside Songhu Villa gradually dispersed, leaving only the mess on the ground to prove the liveliness of the place just now.
Xie Yunshan, who was in charge of the military guards for the Autumn Examination, was the last to walk out of the gate of the villa...
He pinched his eyebrows, feeling exhausted.
The students endured for nine days, and he also endured for nine days.
Even though we had made all the necessary preparations before the start, problems still occurred frequently during the nine days...
Our young General Xie just wants to go back to her own courtyard and have a good sleep.
As soon as he went out the door, he wanted to find his horse.
"Xie Yunshan!"
A soft calling voice came into General Xie's ears.
He turned his head in disbelief, with a blatant smile on his face, "Hey, little girl, why didn't you leave?"
Isn’t she here to pick up her classmates?
Jiang An jumped off the carriage, stood in the sun, and said as a matter of course: "Because I haven't taken you home yet~"
Her brother, Xingsang and other classmates were all picked up by their parents.
Of course, he must have what others have!
Because I haven't taken you home yet...
These childish words struck into General Xie's heart.
Since childhood, he has been ignored by everyone because he did not take on the responsibility of being the heir of the family...
At the Imperial Academy in the palace, it was his brother who came to pick him up in the family carriage, and he was just passing by.
From childhood to adulthood, he has always been just the "by the way" in his brother's shadow...
He had complaints, but he knew his parents wouldn't care.
Although today, many years later, he is no longer a candidate or a student, but there is someone waiting for him in front of the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall in the north.
Waiting for him, Xie Yunshan.
