Wen Yuan smiled and said, "Mother is really open-minded!"
Wendie prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Xu Wenwu would get good grades this time.
After lunch the next day, the old man brought a few people to the entrance of the examination room. When they arrived, they found that there were already quite a few people standing at the entrance, most of whom were there to watch the fun.
We waited until the sun gradually set, and then the big iron door of the examination room slowly opened from the inside.
Candidates swarmed out of the door. Some looked pale, some looked listless, and most of them were not in good condition.
The old man said, "The door is open! Boss, quickly check where Wenwu and Xuedong are!"
Uncle Xu craned his neck to search the crowd and soon spotted his son and Qian Xuedong. He raised his hands, waved them, and shouted, "Wenwu, Xuedong, we're here!"
When Xu Wenwu heard his father's voice, he looked in the direction and squeezed in with Qian Xuedong.
Qibao saw that Big Brother and Qian Xuedong were in good spirits except for their slightly messy hair, so he stepped forward and opened his arms towards Big Brother...
Xu Wenwu smiled dotingly, reached out and picked up his sister and spun her around a few times.
The old man smiled and nodded, saying, "Xuedong, your father is busy today, so we are here to pick you up."
Qian Xuedong smiled and said, "Grandpa Xu, it doesn't matter who picks me up, and I know the way back."
The dean said excitedly, "Wenwu, Xuedong, are you sure this time?"
Xu Wenwu and Qian Xuedong exchanged a glance and said, "Dean, I think it's fine, but I can't be too confident."
Qian Xuedong said, "I think it's okay, just so-so, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to rank among the top."
The dean nodded and said, "It's good that you tried your best. Let's go back first. Master Sun and the others are waiting for you in the Juxiang Pavilion!"
The old man said, "Right, right! Let's go back soon. I'm afraid you two haven't eaten or slept well these past few days. You need to make up for it when you get back."
The group hurried back to Juxiang Pavilion.
As soon as I entered, I saw Boss Qian pacing at the door. Seeing that he had finally returned, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Xuedong, are you okay?"
Qian Xuedong said, "Dad, I may have disappointed you this time."
Boss Qian said, "Dad, don't be disappointed. Even if you didn't do well in the exam this time, you will definitely do well next time."
Qian Xuedong said, "Although I answered all the questions this time, I still feel that my performance is a little unsatisfactory. Give me another year and I will definitely work harder!"
Boss Qian patted his son on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. Just do your best. You'll have another chance next time."
The hall was occupied and it was not suitable to talk at the door, so they returned to the backyard.
When Zhang saw her son come back, she saw that his hair was messy and his clothes were wrinkled in many places. Her eyes were a little sore. She said, "Wenwu, you and Xuedong should go take a hot bath and change clothes. I have boiled water in the small kitchen. I have cooked a lot of dishes. We will eat after you finish washing."
Xu Wenwu hugged Zhang and said, "Thank you, mother."
Zhang wanted to touch her son's head, but she didn't realize that he was already a head taller than her. She said with relief, "Silly child, I'm your mother. What's there to thank me for?"
The old man said, "Your mother is right. You two should go take a bath. The dry food you brought in has no oil or water at all. You must replenish your oil and water tonight."
"Yes, Grandpa Xu."
After the two of them cleaned up, Zhang had already prepared a large table of dishes, all of which were their favorites.
"Brother Xu, Brother Qian, how do you feel?" asked a classmate.
Qian Xuedong said, "Aside from the rather depressing atmosphere, there's nothing else to it. You don't know, there are two soldiers watching every candidate, just to prevent anyone from cheating."
"Ah! Is it so strict?"
Qian Xuedong said, "Yeah! At first I felt uncomfortable being stared at, but later I got used to it."
"Are the questions in this exam difficult?"
Qian Xuedong said: "It's difficult. There are some questions that we haven't learned before. Fortunately, I read a lot and like to read some knowledge points left by predecessors. It helped me a lot."
"So, Brother Qian is confident this time, right?"
The dean said, "It's hard to say. Although the questions are the same, everyone has their own unique insights. It depends on whether your answer can please the examiner. Maybe Xuedong's answer will just suit the examiner's taste, and then the results this time may actually be a surprise!"
"So that's how it is!" Several students present nodded.
Master Sun said, "I believe he will get good grades in both civil and military exams. I've seen how hard he works, and he's very tenacious."
The old man smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Master Sun. My eldest grandson is indeed very hardworking. I often see him with the light in his room still on in the middle of the night. It makes me feel a little sad!"
Zhang said, "Everyone, please stop standing and talking. Let's sit down and eat."
Qian Xuedong ate so deliciously that he kept saying "delicious, delicious". Seeing this, Boss Qian felt so distressed that he said, "Xuedong, eat slowly, don't choke."
Qian Xuedong said as he ate, "Dad, you don't know, some people fainted during the exam. I was wondering if I could hold on, but apart from not sleeping well, I was no different from usual. Among all the candidates, only Wenwu and I were in the best mental state. It's normal for Wenwu to be in better physical condition than ordinary people, but I was as energetic as him. I found it strange."
"Wenwu, you also know martial arts?" Master Sun asked in surprise.
Several other classmates also looked at Xu Wenwu in surprise.
