That night, Cheng Jinxing was pestered by Cheng Minhong, who asked him to take her to the night market in the county town.
When the aunt and niece arrived in the county town, there was nothing much to see.
"I want to eat barbecue! Let's go eat barbecue!"
Cheng Minhong suggested.
"Then let's go to the dessert shop and buy something to drink! The water in the barbecue restaurant is not tasty at all!"
Cheng Jin is walking on the road.
"That's right. Do you think Xie Yuchen is stupid? He wants to cooperate with Sister Yue. Why doesn't he tell Sister Yue that he wants the dessert shop to provide the drinks and they can just pay for it."
Cheng Minhong curled her lips.
"Go ask him if he's stupid!"
Cheng Jinxing said with a smile.
"I'm not going! Let me tell you, I hate the girls in the Xie family. Especially one, who's about my age and wasn't there when Shao Lan got married a few years ago. Her name is Xie Yuqi. That bad girl is even more annoying than Mingzhu!"
Cheng Minhong said angrily.
Cheng Jinxing smiled and didn't respond.
"Nephew Jinxing, I'm telling you, don't feel pressured! Brother Mingxuan said that even if you don't get first place in this provincial exam, you can still make it into the final ten spots and go to the capital to take the exam in the fall. By then, you will definitely catch the emperor's eye."
"I've met the Emperor many times! He's a very kind person, and he particularly likes children like you. He thinks you have great potential. Take his imperial guard, for example. He ranked in the 20s in the last military examination. He wasn't the top scorer, the second place, or the third place, but he still caught the Emperor's eye."
"That imperial guard looks a lot like you. Not in appearance, but in his aura, full of righteousness!"
"You've been so quiet these past few days, and your demeanor has been exceptionally good! You look mature and steady. When you get to the capital, you'll definitely charm all the girls!"
"Nephew Jinxing, let me tell you, when you get to the capital and there are girls giving you gifts, remember to bring me along. If they want to win your favor, they'll have to please me..."
Cheng Minhong said a lot of things.
Cheng Jinxing would occasionally add a sentence, and the conversation could continue.
After buying some drinks, the two went to the grilled fish restaurant.
There were quite a few customers in the restaurant eating grilled fish, and of course, there were also several tables eating barbecue.
The people at the grilled fish restaurant naturally knew Cheng Jinxing, so the aunt and niece ordered their dishes and sat down.
"Hey, hey, hey, nephew Jinxing, look, it's a jinx!"
Cheng Minhong suddenly pointed to the sky.
Cheng Jinxing looked over.
"Close your eyes and speak out your heart's desire, quickly!"
Cheng Minhong hurriedly covered Cheng Jinxing's eyes and said.
"Okay, nephew Jinxing, have you made a wish?"
Cheng Minhong let go of his eyes and said.
"Aunt, do you also believe in making wishes?"
Cheng Jinxing said with a smile.
"Of course! The most difficult battle for our Empress was when she made a wish on an unlucky star! I believe it very much."
Cheng Minhong said.
When Cheng Jinxing asked him to close his eyes just now, he remembered a note in the military book he had read recently.
It tells the story of the Empress' most difficult battle and the story of making a wish on an unlucky star.
Of course, this wish cannot be used as teaching content, it is just mentioned briefly.
"Nephew Jinxing, tell your aunt quickly what wish you made. Did you wish to get first place in the exam?"
Cheng Minhong is a gossipy person.
"no!"
Cheng Jinxing shook his head.
"What is that?"
Cheng Minhong asked curiously.
"I hope that time can go by faster for me, say, three years or six years faster, while keeping time the same for everyone else!"
Cheng Jin is walking on the road.
