The long-awaited exam finally came, and Murong Shu also asked his second aunt and mother to go with him to take the exam. In order to make it more solemn, even Mousse and Mu Shi went.
Seeing such a big scene, Mu Siqing suddenly felt a little stressed. Mu Si saw that his son was nervous and said, "Just play normally. We are here to accompany Shu'er."
Mu Siqing, who was originally nervous, was no longer nervous. Rong Qing was very disgusted with her husband's hypocritical behavior, but seeing that her son was indeed not that nervous, she glared at Mu Siqing unhappily.
"I just saw that he was nervous, so I wanted to ease the atmosphere." Mousse explained, touching his nose.
"Siqing, you must work hard. You will definitely get into high school. Even if you fail, it doesn't matter. Our family is rich." Song Wei encouraged her nephew gently.
"Thank you, aunt!" Mu Siqing respected Song Wei the most. In his heart, his aunt treated him as well as his eldest brother and third younger brother.
"Come on, second brother!"
"Come on, second brother!"
A group of people cheered Mu Siqing up, and Mu Siqing was very moved. Murong Shu wanted to give his second brother some motivation, so he said to everyone, "My second brother and I have something to say in private, wait a moment."
"Is there anything Shu'er can't say that we can't hear?" Mousse was very curious about what secrets his niece and son had to share. He also wanted to know.
"Second uncle has already said that it is a private conversation, so of course we can't let others hear it." Murong Shu winked at Mu Si playfully, and pulled Mu Siqing away from everyone before letting go of his second brother.
"Sister, do you have anything to say to your brother?"
"Second brother, I checked again. You will be able to see your Yue'er within three days after the exam." Murong Shu smiled mysteriously.
Mu Siqing didn't expect that the secret her sister wanted to tell her was such exciting good news, and asked excitedly, "Is what my sister said true?"
"When did Shu'er lie to my second brother?" Murong Shu looked so confident that Mu Siqing felt that his sister seemed to know who Yue'er was.
"Then I'll wait for good news from my sister." Mu Siqing had never been so excited.
"Second brother, calm down and don't let it affect the exam." Murong Shu was really afraid that his second brother would be too excited and unable to take the exam normally.
"Don't worry, sister. I know the seriousness of the matter." After being excited, Mu Siqing slowly began to calm down.
"Brother Mu, what a coincidence. I was just wondering if you had already gone in." Han Xu and Madam Han walked over.
After they exchanged greetings and said some encouraging words, Mu Siqing and Han Xu walked into the examination room together. Before leaving, Han Xu saw the person he had been thinking about day and night among the Mu family's group of people.
Song Yanran was urged by Mrs. Song to come and send Mu Siqing to the exam today. Song Yanran didn't understand why her mother insisted on asking her to come, but thinking about how her second cousin usually took good care of her, she came anyway.
Song Yanran had already seen Han Xu and Madam Han. She came over to greet Madam Han after seeing Han Xu go in. Madam Han hadn't seen Song Yanran for a long time and was very happy.
Murong Shu had nothing to do when he returned home, so he made an appointment with Song Yanran to go to Zhuangyuan Lane. The vegetables grown by Madam Han were ready to be eaten, so she invited Murong Shu and Song Yanran to sit in the courtyard. Han Xu was not at home anyway, so the two of them happily went there.
The final examination lasts for three days in total. In addition to test papers and physical fitness, the results will be announced three days after the examination. The emperor will personally confer official positions on the top three candidates. The examinee will also be tested again in the hall, asking some questions.
Murong Shu found out all these from Wen Jing. During the exam, Murong Shu went to Wen's house to visit the second wife and Xiaotuanzi, only to find out that Wen Jing was sent by the emperor to be the invigilator. Murong Shu was very surprised. No wonder Wen Jing didn't ask him out these days.
On the day the final exam ended, Ning Yi, the second master of the Ning family, sent someone to inform Murong Shu that a batch of cattle and sheep that she had asked a friend to buy had arrived, and asked her if she wanted to go to the farm to take a look.
Murong Shu was bored at home, so he took Xiao Tao to the farm.
Mu Sishu and the others went to pick up Mu Siqing, but they didn't see Murong Shu. Mu Siqing asked anxiously, "Mother, why didn't my sister come today?"
"Sister-in-law, look, you only have eyes for my sister." Rong Qing joked with Song Wei with a smile.
"Shu'er went to the farm for something and he probably won't be back until the evening. You just finished the exam, let's go back home and have some rest." Song Wei felt distressed when she saw that her nephew had lost some weight. The exam was really hard.
"Thank you for your concern, aunt."
"Let's go back quickly. Mother has asked someone to prepare your favorite meals." Rong Qing felt distressed when he saw that his son had become thinner.
After returning home, Mu Siqing went to bed after dinner. He had been extremely nervous in the past few days, and now that he relaxed, he fell into a deep sleep.
At dinner, Rong Qing saw that he was sleeping soundly and was reluctant to wake him up. She asked someone to warm the food in the kitchen and wait for him to wake up before eating. What she didn't expect was that her son slept until the next morning.
Thinking of what his sister said that he would appear within three days, Mu Siqing felt that he had to go out to have a chance to meet him, otherwise he would never meet him in his own yard.
So he went out without even having breakfast. When Murong Shu came to find him, he had already gone out. He returned home too late yesterday and didn't come to see his second brother. He didn't expect to make the same mistake again today.
Murong Shu sighed helplessly, this relationship has been full of twists and turns.
"Miss, the princess has arrived and is waiting for you at Guiningyuan!" Xiaoju came running to report in a panic. Not long after Murong Shu left, Princess Mingyue arrived.
"Got it. Let's go back." Murong Shu could only hope that his second brother would come back soon. Who would have thought that his second brother, who usually didn't like to go out, would go out so early.
Jun Mingyue had lunch at Murong Shu's Guiningyuan. As he had something to do in the mansion in the afternoon, he said goodbye and went back. Jun Mingyue's carriage passed by Mu Siqing.
Seeing that the carriage came from his own house, Mu Siqing asked the doorman, "Whose carriage just left?"
"The second young master is Princess Mingyue of the Zhenshan Palace. He has a very good relationship with the fifth young lady and often comes to the palace to visit her." The doorman heard Mu Siqing's question and answered quickly and carefully.
Hearing that it was his sister's friend, Mu Siqing didn't think much about it and asked again, "Has any woman come to see me in the past few days? If so, you must notify me, no matter when."
The doorman was so shocked that he forgot to answer for a moment. Could it be that the second young master had a girl he liked? But he really hadn't seen her, so he had to be more careful in the future.
"Remember? Especially women, you must tell me." Mu Siqing emphasized again.
"Don't worry, Second Young Master. I'll remember this." The doorman replied quickly.
In the carriage.
"Princess, what's wrong with you?" The serving maid asked worriedly when she saw the princess's face suddenly change.
"Chun'er, my heart was beating so fast just now, it felt like déjà vu." Jun Mingyue was even a little bit looking forward to it, that familiar heartbeat frequency came again.
