Breakfast was light. Ling Jingxuan prepared a bag of crescent spring water, boiled a few eggs, plus the spiced meat slices he brought from home and let him taken them to the examination room as lunch. He meant to stuff him some stuffed buns or steamed buns, but on a second thought, he gave up. Ling Jingxuan seldom had a big appetite. So the crescent spring water and those eggs should be enough.
It was a sunny day today, but you couldn’t say it was warm. At least there was no cold wind. When they arrived at the examination spot, outside was already crowded with a lot of people. A row of public office holders wearing black robes, jujube red waistcoats, and high hats were standing outside the entrance. Maybe because of those public office holders, or because scholars all took examinations as a very holy thing, although there were a lot of people there, they looked all very cautious. No one dare speak loudly. Even those who knew each other were communicating in whispers.
“Second uncle, your basket, don’t be nervous, we will wait for you outside.”
Ling Wen and Ling Wu handed the bamboo basket full of food and brush, ink sticks, paper and inkstones to Ling Jinghan, and didn’t forget to cheer for him, wearing a bright smile on their resembling faces.
“Hehe…thank you, but I’m going to stay in for a whole day. It’s cold outside. You should go back. Only Shuisheng here would be enough.”
Taking the basket with a hand, while the other hand rubbing their heads, Ling Jinghan wore a doting smile. With a harsh drumming sound, the private advisor of the magistrate said some encouraging words on behalf of the magistrate who hadn’t come back yet. Those examinees then queued in line waiting to go in. Ling Jingxuan also said goodbye to Ling Jingxuan and others carrying the basket, “Big brother, brother Rui, Jingpeng, I’m going in. You can go.”
Although Ling Jinghan’s body had become stronger in the past few months, he still looked a little slender among a group of adults, especially that some of them already grew beards, making him who was young, handsome and slender more striking.
“Have a good test, don’t be nervous, just put everything you’ve learned into play.”
“Just an examination for tongsheng. It wouldn’t be a problem for you!”
“Second brother, you can do it. Be patient. We all believe in you!”
“Second uncle, come on!
“Second uncle, come on!”
Ling Jingxuan and the other two adults said some encouraging words, then the little buns and those servants also said some cheering words. At this moment, the atmosphere was a bit different. After replying to each of them, Ling Jinghan went to stand in line carrying the basket.
“Don’t worry. Even that person praised Jinghan’s literacy talent. He was a famous quiz kid in the capital in those years, you know.”
Turning to look at Ling Jingxuan, who seemed a little worried, Yan Shengrui grabbed his hand and tried to divert his attention, “How about we go to the branch of Baiyunge to have a look? Aren’t you planning to bring some things back? After lunch, we’ll come to pick him up.”
“No hurry. Wait until he gets in.”
Clearly he was not worried or not so nervous, now Ling Jingxuan became strangely anxious, and his eyes had never moved away from Ling Jinghan among the crowd. He finally knew why those parents all went to accompany their children when their kids were taking the college entrance examination in twenty-first century. You would never know if you didn’t experience it yourself.
“Big brother, how about you and brother Rui bring Xiaowen and Xiaowu to go first? Shuisheng and I are enough here.”
Ling Jingpeng seemed to be aware of his nervousness and can’t help echoing Yan Shengrui.
“Huh? All right, you don’t have to wait here all the time. When he gets in, you can look for us at Baiyunge.”
Finally realizing he was too abnormal, Ling Jingxuan could only turn around, just in case he might affect his younger brother’s mood during the examination.
The branch of Baiyunge, the only branch in the same town with the headquarters, only having opened for a few days, the business was blooming. And the handbags which were a big hit not long ago were also on sale along with the opening day. And not only that one, there were also a few different designs. And there were also some new styles of the clothes, headdress flowers and other accessories. In order to smash Xinyue Gold Shop one for all in the shortest time, Ling Jingxuan even made drawings for the fat shopkeeper and let him ask the craftsmen of Baiyunge to run up those new style things that didn’t belong to this era, and they were also on sale on the same day the new branch opened. So when they walked to the east street, they saw people crowding there. While in Xinyue Gold shop, let along people, there wasn’t even a fly or a mosquito.
“Second boss, there you are. Come on. Come in please.”
As the fat shopkeeper who was also in charge of the branch temporarily saw Yan Shengrui, Ling Jingxuan and the kids, he hurriedly dropped the work at hand and went to greet them. Because of some reason, Zeng Shaoqing announced that Ling Jingxuan was still the second boss. But. He also issued an order saying that Ling Jingxuan could make the decision of Baiyun Cabinet and Xinyuan Restaurant. No need to ask for his instructions.
“Hehe…Shopkeeper Hong, thanks for your hard work.”
“It’s my job, it’s my job…”
After some courtesy words, they went in, with the kids following behind obediently.
“It’s him?”
Behind the counter, Yuan Shaoqi who had been sent here to support since the new branch had no bookkeeper for now looked at Yan Shengrui shockingly. He had ever expected he would see him in this kind of place. Besides, till now, he noticed that the two kids resembled him so much! And judging from his interaction with Ling Jingxuan, is it possible he is…For this, Yuan Shaoqi felt more suspicious in the heart. What is going on? How could Prince Sheng have anything to do with a village man? And who are those kids?
Keenly sensing that someone was staring at him, Yan Shengrui suddenly turned around and precisely locked his eyes on Yuan Shaoqi, which scared him. He hurriedly lowered his head, even having no idea where to put his hands and feet. Yan Shengrui’s peach blossom eyes were giving off some shrewd light. Recently he had been busy with the iron forging thing, so he seldom showed up at home during the day. So that is the bookkeeper Yan Yi found? He really deserved a severe punishment! How could he invite a big trouble in for him?
