In the room, Xie and Li Mei sat next to each other.

"Sister-in-law, I believe you can see Yun Ting's feelings for Jiaojiao. Although there is a big age difference between them and Jiaojiao is not yet of marriageable age, I still want to talk to you in private first.

If we were parents, we would settle the matter of having two children in private.

Yun Ting waited quietly until Jiaojiao came of age.

Sister-in-law, we have watched both of them grow up together, and we know each other very well. If you are willing to hand Jiaojiao over to Yunting, I believe he will treat Jiaojiao as a treasure.

Not to mention our family.

Gao Shan and I will treat Jiao Jiao like our own daughter."

Listening to Li Mei's words, Xie said quickly: "Amei, we have been sisters for so many years, I will just speak my mind."

"Well, just tell me straight."

Mrs. Xie: "Not only Jiaojiao's marriage, but also Gao Miao's marriage, I don't plan to interfere. Once they have chosen someone and decided to get married, I will do what I should do.

Yunting is a good boy.

I have always thought so.

But this involves two children, I can't make a decision about this, nor can I make any promises to you privately.

You know, although Jiaojiao is young, she has big ideas. "

Li Mei didn't quite understand, so she asked, "Sister-in-law, do you mean Jiaojiao has to agree to this?"

Xie hummed.

Li Mei dared to ask Xie, but she didn't dare to ask Gao Zhi in person.

"Sister-in-law, just pretend I didn't mention this. We'll see what the two children think later."

Xie should be good.

Although Li Mei did not get the answer she wanted, Xie said to listen to the child's opinion, which meant that if Gao Zhi nodded, there would be no problem.

Li Mei was still very happy.

She felt that this was half the battle.

…

On the ninth day, Gao Zhi and Xie went to the county early in the morning.

They cleaned up the room where Gao Miao and Gao Yunting lived, stewed a pot of ginseng chicken soup and a pot of minced meat and vegetable porridge, calculated the time, and carried bamboo baskets to the gate of Gongyuan.

This time, Gao Zhi asked Gao Shan to drive a horse-drawn carriage.

Wait for Gao Miao and the others to come out, get on the carriage, eat something, and then rest.

It doesn’t matter if there is a traffic jam on the road; we can rest in the carriage.

After nine days of high mental tension and using their brains, they must be exhausted.

There were crowds of people at the gate and carriages coming one after another.

Shopkeeper Xu and his wife also came, and Xu Juan was with them.

When Xu Juan saw the Xie family's carriage, she immediately said to Madam Xu, "Mom, I saw someone I know. I'll go over and say hello and be back soon."

Mrs. Xu looked around and asked, "Where are the acquaintances?"

Xu Juan pointed at the Xie family's carriage and said, "Aunt Xie is over there."

Mrs. Xu was unwilling to let Xu Juan go over. "Don't go! They have already made their words clear and mercilessly. If you go over and say hello now, won't that make people look down on you?"

Xu Juan pulled Mrs. Xu's hand away.

"Mom, we are honest and upright, why should we be afraid of being looked down upon by others?

Besides, my elder brother still needs this classmate, we can't ruin our relationship.

Putting that matter aside, there are so many people here, it is impossible for them to embarrass me for no reason.

I've inquired about it. Gao Miao's biological father is a general. Mom, please consider whether we should greet them or not?"

Mrs. Xu's eyes lit up. "Are you serious? Who told you that?"

"Absolutely true! Mom, I'll go first." Xu Juan walked straight towards the Xie family's carriage, stood under the window beside the carriage, and greeted them in a gentle voice.

"Aunt Xie, I'm Xu Juan. When I saw your carriage, I came over to say hello."

Gao Zhi frowned, "Why is he here?"

Xie shook her head, "It's okay! Just saying hello."

The curtain of the carriage was opened, and Xie looked at Xu Juan, "Miss Xu, what can I do for you?"

"Nothing! I just came to say hello. Auntie, Brother Gao and the others have been taking the exam in there for nine days, so it must be very hard.

My parents prepared a table of food in the restaurant and asked me to come and invite my aunt and Brother Gao to join them.

After dinner, they can go back and have a good rest.

Auntie, is it okay?

Xie smiled slightly and said, "Miss Xu, please express my gratitude to your father and mother on my behalf.

We have prepared meals at home, thank you for your kindness.

Miss Xu, there are too many people here, you should go back to your parents first."

After saying that, Xie lowered the curtain.

The car curtain was slowly lowered, and Gao Zhi was already visible, and the anger in his heart was growing rapidly.

Little bitch!

It's really disgusting that he is so young and has such bad habits in his mind.

It was obvious that she had taken a fancy to her adoptive brother and wanted to monopolize him, so she even interfered in her adoptive brother's marriage.

Xu Juan returned to her carriage.

Mrs. Xu asked, "What happened?"

"Mom, I just went over to say hello to them. They were quite friendly and didn't seem to take it to heart."

Xu Juan talked nonsense.

"Mom, let's not rush this matter! Maybe there will be a silver lining."

Mrs. Xu nodded.

She had originally no longer had any thoughts about Gao Miao, but just now Xu Juan said that Gao Miao's biological father was a general.

This made Mrs. Xu excited again.

It’s easier to get things done if you have someone in the court!

What's more, the local government's backer is the general. If Xu Juan can marry Gao Miao, then Xu Juan will be the general's daughter-in-law.

They are the general's relatives.

This is incredible!

Over there, Gao Zhi felt that Xu Juan was a person who would never give up until she reached the Yellow River, especially the way Xu Juan looked at her at the last moment.

The hatred in his eyes was clear.

Gao Zhi found it a little funny. Why did Xu Juan hate him?

A forced melon is not sweet. The man doesn't mean that. Isn't it better for everyone to just let the matter go?

"Jiaojiao, what are you thinking about?" asked Mrs. Xie.

At this time, the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall opened and everyone's attention was attracted to that place.

Gao Zhi hurried outside.

"Mom, open the door! Gao Miao and the others will be coming out soon."

Xie also hurried out.

They stood high up in the carriage so that Gao Miao could see them as soon as he came out.

The first thing to come out was a stretcher, with more than a dozen people being carried out on it.

The people on the stretchers looked pale, and some were unconscious. It was unknown whether they were dead or alive. The officers carried the stretchers outside and handed them to the students' families, asking them to find a doctor quickly.

Xie looked at this scene and was so scared that she grabbed Gao Zhi's hand tightly.

Is this test so scary?

All the people were carried out.

Gao Zhi held Xie's cold hand and said, "Mom, don't worry! Gao Miao and the others will be fine.

We have prepared so much dry food for them, and also emergency medicines.”

Xie stared at the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall and nodded continuously.

At this time, Xie was really a little panicked.

Gao Zhi was not worried. She believed that Gao Miao and Gao Yunting were capable of taking care of themselves.

At most I'm just tired!

They will definitely not be carried out like those people just now.

Gao Miao and Gao Yunting were walking in front. After stepping out of the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall, Gao Miao immediately looked at the crowd.

That man stood tall on the carriage.

Looking at that brilliant smile, Gao Miao's fatigue disappeared and he pulled Gao Yunting's sleeve.

"Let's go! I see them."
