There were two weak scholars standing beside the road. They looked clean and lovable. One of them was sitting slumped in the back, and the other was standing on the road, waving at Xu Miaomiao and the others. Looking at the person in front of her, Xu Miaomiao was startled and raised her eyebrows, because this was the person she met in Nanxiang before. Xu Miaomiao subconsciously looked at Xu Xi, but Xu Xi still lowered her head and fiddled with her things. After feeling Xu Miaomiao's eyes, she slowly looked up at Xu Miaomiao and said, "What's wrong? Sister Xu."
Xu Miaomiao immediately shook her head without saying anything, but her expression became more unpredictable. The voice outside sounded again: "Madam, should we stop? These two people look like weak scholars. They should be fine, right?"
Xu Miaomiao was speechless after hearing this. She was silent for a while before she said, "Then give them a ride. Just consider it as repaying their kindness in helping me."
Seeing the carriage slowly stop, the two people behind were also ecstatic, and immediately thanked the person on board: "Thank you for your kindness, madam, we are really grateful. I don't know who the madam is. We will definitely come to your house to thank you when the time comes."
Xu Miaomiao did not say anything, but just lifted the curtain slightly, so she suddenly recognized the man and was a little shocked to see that it was Xu Miaomiao. When they met and said goodbye in Nanxiang before, she thought it was only the last time, but she never thought that she would have the chance to meet again in this life. The two people in front of her were the husband who once admired Xu Xi's friendship and wanted to marry Xu Xi. However, Xu Xi saw the people outside through the curtain that Xu Miaomiao lifted, and just pursed her lips slightly, and did not say anything.
Xu Miaomiao's brows suddenly furrowed, and she looked at them and said with great interest, "When we were plotted against by that young master Wang before, you two gentlemen helped us before. Today, it's just a small favor, not worth mentioning."
After Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, she did not continue speaking. She just regarded it as repaying the favor between them and they should not say anything more in the future. However, when Xu Xi saw Xu Miaomiao, his expression suddenly became strange and he could not help but hold the pipa tightly in his hands. That person once said that his memory of pipa was unparalleled in the world, but now they have become two completely opposite situations.
Xu Miaomiao raised her head slightly and saw the man in white sitting on the ground. She couldn't help laughing and said, "My dear husband, Madam Jiang, are you safe to let you come out alone?"
Xu Miaomiao said this with a joking tone, because he had seen his mother, Mrs. Dajiang, before. She was not a person to be trifled with. How could she let her beloved son go out alone to take the imperial examination? What on earth had happened to lead to such a situation?
Xu Miaomiao couldn't help but be curious for a moment. The man didn't say anything, but just lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.
Xu Miaomiao stared at his appearance and smiled. Seeing that he looked embarrassed, she didn't say anything more.
Now is the time for imperial examinations, and those who pass the list will naturally go to the capital to take the palace examination, but one is in Nanxiang and the other is in Bai County, so they are still a little surprised at what they will encounter.
Following the principle of not asking too much about other people's affairs, Xu Miaomiao just looked at them and didn't ask or say anything. She just shook her head. The two husbands felt that the space was even more crowded sitting in the carriage. Xu Xi was even more nervous and fidgeted. He could only stick close to Xu Miaomiao, holding the pipa tightly in his hand. That burning gaze had never stopped since he got on the carriage.
Xu Xi could naturally feel it, but now he no longer wanted to have anything to do with that person, so he couldn't help but stop saying anything.
Realizing Xu Xi's intention, Xu Miaomiao patted his shoulder comfortingly, signaling him not to worry. Xu Xi then relaxed and smiled at Xu Miaomiao, but the nervousness in his heart never diminished in the slightest, and he never relaxed his grip on Xu Miaomiao's hand for a moment.
Knowing the woman's nervousness, Xu Miaomiao tried her best to relax and comfort her, but the man couldn't help but look at Xu Xi, sweeping back and forth, making Xu Xi feel a little uneasy. She took the initiative to change the subject and said to Lu Yun opposite: "Mr. Lu, Madam Jiang, you are so considerate and have arranged the rest of your life properly. I just don't know why Nanxiang would pass by this white line. Could it be that Bai County has become a place that must be passed on the way to the imperial examination?"
Hearing this, Lu Yun pursed his lips and said nothing. The eunuch next to him looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Don't you know why he came here? Of course, it's not to see Madam Xu."
"That's enough." Xu Xi had been silent all this time. Suddenly, he said this, looking at the two of them, "Mr. Lu and I did know each other once, but now it's all in the past. There's no need to say more here."
Xu Xi obviously wanted to draw a line between himself and Lu Yun. After all, he could still remember clearly what Jiang Yu had said in his ear at that time. He was indeed of low status and could not afford to be with Mr. Lu. It would be better to cut off the relationship completely and leave it at that. Although he had thought about meeting him in his heart, he had never met him before. How could he meet him here?
When Lu Yun first saw him, he was extremely happy, but he soon realized that he was going to the capital, he was a great minister, but she was the daughter of a criminal, and she had done such dirty things, how could she be worthy of him?
Thinking of this, Xu Xi couldn't help but clench his sleeves and lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. Xu Miaomiao looked at him and was really worried. She couldn't help but hold Xu Xi's hand and nodded at him. It was undeniable that Xu Miaomiao's comfort was very useful.
Xu Xi smiled at him, not thinking about anything else. The burning gaze no longer looked at Xu Xi, which allowed him to take a breath and close his eyes to think about other things. But at the moment he closed his eyes, Lu Yun's eyes looked at him again. It was not intentional, but he couldn't help but staring at Xu Xi. This was the person he thought about day and night. How could he forget it? Since that incident, he was also a pain in his heart. Seeing that the woman in front of him had appeared in front of him, Lu Yun was also happy.
