After chatting for a while, He Jinshu sorted out the relevant information and gave it to County Magistrate Feng, then packed some of his own food and seasonings for them, and then sent them away.
On the return carriage, the county magistrate sighed to County Magistrate Feng, "It's really a waste of talent for this scholar He to stay in our place."
After hearing this, County Magistrate Feng said, "Gold will always shine."
The county magistrate nodded in agreement.
After seeing off County Magistrate Feng, He Jinshu returned to his room. The two children were about to wake up, and he had to go and coax them.
In the room, Chen Zhen was playing a rolling game with two kids. Chen Zhen was too "bullying". Sometimes when he saw the two kids were about to roll over, he would deliberately put them straight and then let them roll over again.
Or if the two kids had already turned over, he would deliberately tease them, not picking them up, and let them turn over again by themselves.
But the two children were still too young to turn over, so they clenched their fists in anger at Chen Zhen and shouted loudly at him to express their anger.
This was the scene He Jinshu saw when he came in. After seeing He Jinshu coming in, the two children stopped being angry with Chen Chen and stretched out their short arms and pouted to ask He Jinshu to hold them.
He Jinshu picked up one in each hand, then said to Chen Chen, "Did you tease them again?"
After hearing this, Chen Zhen laughed and said, "These two kids are quite cute when they're angry."
He Jinshu shook his head helplessly when he heard this. He didn't know what Chen Zhen's hobby was. He was very keen on teasing the two children. He had to make them angry and then coax them.
After He Jinshu held the two children for a while, Chen Chen "tricked" He Siyi over and took him outside to play.
He Jinshu took his brother to the study, where he read and played with him.
The days passed uneventfully for a few days, and soon it was time for them to leave for the provincial capital for the exam.
In the study, Li Mo said to He Jinshu and Shen Zhen, "You said you wouldn't let me follow you?"
"Yes, Brother Mo, you stay at home to take care of the family business and grandparents. Ah Shu and I will go to the capital city by ourselves." Chen Chen said.
"No, I don't agree. You have two children with you. What if something happens?" Li Mo immediately retorted.
He has recently arranged matters at the shop in town and is preparing to go to the provincial capital with He Jinshu and others.
After hearing this, Chen Zhen said, "Don't worry, I'm very skilled in martial arts and won't let Ah Shu and the children get hurt easily."
"That won't work either. You are good at kung fu and you can deal with a dozen people, but can you deal with dozens of people?" Li Mo disagreed.
Chen Zhen paused after hearing this. If dozens of people came, he really couldn't handle it, but he could still handle less than 20 people.
Seeing Li Mo's insistence, He Jinshu also persuaded him, "How about this, we take Wenfeng with us. He can help Ah Zhen look after the child. As for Mo Ge, you can stay in the village. If you don't stay in the village, we can't be at ease.
But don't worry, Ah Zhen said that if we can't beat him, he'll take us away, so our lives won't be in danger. Besides, I'm going to take an exam, so bringing too many people with me would be too conspicuous."
After hearing this, Li Mo was silent for a moment and then compromised, "Then you can take Wen Li with you. His kung fu is considered to be better among their group."
"Okay." In order to reassure Li Mo, Chen Chen and He Jinshu nodded and agreed.
Afterwards, Chen Chen and He Jinshu packed up their things and prepared to leave for the provincial capital.
The two of them set off on August 3rd. Since they had to bring their children with them, they would definitely walk slower than usual. This trip to the provincial capital would take about ten days. He Jinshu had an exam on the 20th, so it was just the right time for them to go.
It was a sunny day when they set off. Shen's mother, Shen's father and others came to the house to see them off. Shen Chen and He Jinshu hugged their two sons and said goodbye to them one by one.
Mother Shen squeezed He Sixuan's little hand and said to Shen Chen: "This personality is really the same as yours. He is so happy when he knows he can go out."
Upon hearing this, Chen Chen said shamelessly, "Looking like me means he is my son."
After hearing this, Mother Shen did not refute him, but only said: "Are you all packed? Let's set off quickly, and be careful on the road."
"Yes." Grandma He also said, "Brother Zhen, you must carry with you the amulet I asked for you."
"I understand, grandma, don't worry, we have everything with us. Just stay at home and wait for us to come back." Chen Chen said with a smile.
After that, everyone said a few words of farewell, and then walked towards the carriage outside the door with Shen Zhen and He Jinshu.
There were also a lot of people standing outside the door. They were all people from Wujia Village who came to see the two of them off. Chen Chen and He Jinshu said a few goodbyes to them, then took their son to the car and prepared to leave.
"Uncle He, you must study hard and strive to pass the exam." Wu Zhuan stood beside his mother and shouted loudly to He Jinshu who had already boarded the carriage.
The carriage hadn't started yet. He Jinshu heard the sound and pulled back the curtain. Then he looked at Wu Zhuan and said calmly, "I'll try my best."
Chen Zhen also popped his head out to join in the fun and said, "Don't worry, Ah Shu will not only pass the imperial examination, but he'll also get you the top scorer in the imperial examination."
After hearing this, the crowd started to jeer, "Brother Zhen, you said it yourself. If I don't pass the exam, you have to treat us all to a banquet!"
"No problem, I'll treat you to a banquet whether you pass the exam or not." Chen Chen said generously.
"Okay, brother Zhen, it's time for you to set off. We still need to find a place to stay before dark." Mother Chen said to them.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhen and He Jinshu said goodbye to their family and villagers, and then asked Wen Feng to drive to the provincial capital.
After they left, Shen's mother and the others said goodbye to Grandpa He and Grandma He and returned to Shenjia Village, and Grandma He went into the compartment after seeing everyone off.
After lighting a few incense sticks at the tablets of He Ningyi and Jiang Huixian, Grandma He sat on the futon and said to them, "Ningyi, Huixian, if you are still alive, please bless Xiaoshu and Chen Ge'er, and the two children to return safely.
Our family is finally getting better, so please don't let anything happen to them, or your father and I won't know how to live."
After the carriage left Fengyuan Town, the road became less smooth and bumpy. Seeing this, Chen Chen whispered to He Jinshu, "Ah Shu, do you want to take the children to the library?"
After entering, I can read books and make my two sons feel more comfortable.
