It was her! The little girl who saved him.

Was the woman next to her the one he pinned to the ground that night? Were the two boys dressed as students next to her the woman's sons? The woman looked very young, but her son was already this big?

Fu Hua originally wanted to go downstairs to find Gao Zhi and thank him in person.

But thinking about the fact that the woman’s son is already so grown up, if he lets her husband’s family know what happened that night, he would be repaying kindness with enmity.

Although nothing happened, it is a fact that he crushed someone on the road.

Fu Hua lowered the car curtain, discouraging the group from looking for a benefactor.

Gao Zhi and Xie sent Gao Miao and others to the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall and waited until the gate opened.

Gao Zhi: "You guys go and line up quickly. Relax during the exam and do your best. Don't put pressure on yourself before the exam."

Gao Miao freed his hand and touched Gao Zhi's head.

Gao Zhi leaned back, his eyes saying: Why are you touching my head again like you did to Xiaobai?

Gao Miao smiled and said, "I'll take advantage of your good fortune."

After hearing this, Gao Yunting immediately reached out and took action.

Gao Zhi shook his head. Gao Yunting's hand was suspended in the air, his eyes were a little hurt. Suddenly, a hand touched his head, "You can also get it this way."

Hearing this, Gao Yunting immediately smiled until his eyes became just slits, and he nodded continuously, even more obediently than Xiaobai.

"Yeah, yeah, it can be dipped like this, thank you Jiaojiao."

Gao Miao couldn't bear to watch it anymore and walked to the back of the team.

"Let's go, get in line."

Why does Gao Yunting act like a good little puppy?

"Wait for me." Gao Yunting hurriedly chased after him.

Gao Zhi and Xie watched them line up to go in.

"Mom, let's go back."

"Um."

The crowd outside the Imperial Examination Hall slowly dispersed.

Gao Zhi held Xie's hand tightly.

Under a tree to the right of the Imperial Examination Hall gate, Xu Juan looked at Gao Zhi's back with a gloomy look.

Her mother told her everything, and Gao Zhi was the first to object!

Why?

She was just an adopted daughter, and a little girl at that.

What right does she have to object to who Gao Miao marries?

Fu Hua's carriage arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall at the last minute. Before he got off the carriage, he looked at the crowd deliberately, but only saw the backs of Gao Zhi and Xie.

"Master Fu."

"Sir, we're here." The groom reminded.

Fu Hua got off the carriage and immediately bowed to the three colleagues at the door, "Ladies and gentlemen, this road is too congested, am I late?"

There were four invigilators this time. One was Mr. Liao Zhongwei from the Imperial College, one was Mr. Xie Zhuangzhi from the Hanlin Academy, the third was Mr. Fan Chou also from the Hanlin Academy, and the fourth was Fu Hua.

Normally, Fu Hua should not be the chief examiner, but the emperor designated him to be the chief examiner here.

Fu Hua was an imperial censor, fifth rank.

He is the most unique person in the Censorate and the person most valued by the emperor.

Some people said that he was a dog raised by the emperor, specifically released to bite officials. In the court, everyone was afraid of him and secretly wished he would die.

Fu Hua was a man with no weaknesses. He had never married or had children. He only had an old mother at home. It was said that his old mother was a person avoided by all the women in Beijing like the plague.

That's the one who dared to put his hands on his hips and curse at the old lady of the Duke's Mansion!

This time Fu Hua was sent here to be the chief examiner. Those who wished him dead would never give up this opportunity. They all tried their best to drag Fu Hua into this.

Doesn't he have any weaknesses?

Then give him some weaknesses.

Isn't he single and has no children?

Then let him be known for defiling an innocent woman.

But at the welcoming banquet a few days ago, Fu Hua had clearly been tricked, but somehow he escaped. The person behind it did not dare to make another move, because Fu Hua had already conducted a vigorous investigation.

"No, no! The time is just right, Master Fu is not late."

"Master Fu, let's go in first."

"Master Fu, please!"

The three of them immediately shook their heads.

Fu Hua turned around and walked in from the wide-open gate of the Imperial Examination Hall in a moon-white robe with dark embroidered patterns, walking forward slowly.

Liao Zhongwei and the other two hurriedly followed.

Crunch...

Behind him, the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall slowly closed.

Gao Miao and Gao Yunting had to take the imperial examination for nine days, and it was meaningless for Gao Zhi and Xie to wait in the shop. So, the mother and daughter decided to go back to Laozhuang Village first.

I'll come to the county again on the ninth day, just in time to pick up Gao Miao and the others after they finish their exams.

Gao Miao began his nine-day examination in the Imperial Examination Hall.

Fu Hua took Liao Zhongwei and the other two on a tour. When passing by Gao Miao, Fu Hua couldn't help but look at the paper on Gao Miao's desk, on which a name was written.

Gao Miao!

Last name Gao.

Gao Miao lowered his head to look at the questions and felt that the four examiners in front of him paused for a moment, but he was not nervous, nor did he look up. He just did what he should do at the moment.

Fu Hua nodded secretly, well, it’s quite stable.

Don't be anxious or impatient, don't be panicky or confused.

Fu Hua and the other three walked forward, and Gao Miao took a quick look.

It turned out that Censor Fu was the chief examiner?

When Fu Hua passed by Gao Yunting, Gao Yunting looked a little nervous and looked at them shyly.

Fu Hua looked at the name above.

Gao Yunting!

Also surnamed Gao.

It seems that they are really brothers, but the one in front of me is not as steady as the previous one.

Liao Zhongwei and the other two did not notice anything unusual about Fu Hua. They just followed him with their heads held high and their hands behind their backs. The students only dared to take a quick look at him and then immediately lowered their heads.

This examination is different from the previous examinations for students and scholars.

This time the test questions were brought from the capital.

The examiner this time also came from the capital.

After the listening and speaking test, the article is also read by these four people together, and the final score is the average of the scores given by the four.

…

"Sister-in-law, Jiaojiao. How are Xiao Miao and Yun Ting?" As soon as Xie and Gao Zhi arrived home, Li Mei asked anxiously about the situation.

Xie smiled slightly, "Just relax and wait for good news. Jiaojiao and I watched them enter the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall before leaving, and we also prepared dry food for them.

Jiaojiao also prepared various emergency medicines for them, so you should be at ease.

Your Yun Ting is very good, doesn't the headmaster think that he will succeed this time?"

Hearing this, Li Mei was very grateful.

"Sister-in-law, Jiaojiao, thank you for helping me take care of that boy. If he succeeds this time, I will ask him to serve tea to Auntie when he comes back."

Xie smiled and waved her hand, "That's not necessary! I'm waiting to drink his wine, the Golden List Nomination Wine."

Li Mei smiled so well that her eyebrows curved.

Oh... um... fufufu...

Xiaobai rushed down from the back mountain and pounced directly on Gaozhi, who was almost knocked to the ground by it.

"noob."

Xiaobai rubbed against Gaozhi's arms, the little guy felt both excited and aggrieved.

Gao Zhi stroked its fur and said with a smile, "Don't act like a spoiled child! Let's go back to the house. I'll get you some dried meat."

Xiaobai whined.

Gao Zhi patted its head, and it stopped acting coquettishly and followed Gao Zhi back to the house happily.

Li Mei looked at Gao Zhi's back and thought of Gao Yunting's thoughts. Li Mei grabbed Xie's hand.

"Sister-in-law, let's go back to the house and talk for a few minutes. There is something I have been wanting to ask you about for a long time."
