"No... Brother, I don't know if it's safe or not, but I've already answered all the questions."
I just felt that I was only six years old, and if I took the exam for a few more years, I would eventually pass. Besides, if I couldn't pass, I still had my older brothers. We brothers could eventually help Ningbao become a junior female student.
After Mu Chengye finished speaking, everyone glanced at him in unison. Even Chengye wasn't confident, so it seemed that none of them would pass the exam this time.
In fact, studying really depends on talent. No one expected that the youngest student, Mu Chengye, would be the best student in Chuyun Village School, and he could even remember everything he saw.
After dinner, Shen Yuzhen sent all the boys back to their rooms to rest.
The preliminary examination for the imperial examination lasted three days. The children from the Mu family seemed to be doing well, except for looking a little haggard.
The other candidates were not as lucky as Mu Cheng'an and his group; the white-haired old man was not the only one who was carried out.
We're going back to the village early tomorrow morning. After sending the boys back to their rooms, Mu Chunping took Ningbao and Shen Yuzhen with him and headed out the door.
Now that the children have finished their exams and the house has been bought, the couple is in a good mood and plans to go for a stroll in the town. After all, they've come all this way to the county town to buy some daily necessities to take back with them.
Ningbao was unaware that her father had brought her out because he was afraid she would be too noisy and disturb her brothers' rest.
Women are always very powerful when shopping, and Shen Yuzhen's hands were full of things in no time.
When no one was looking, Ningbao put a lot more into the storage talisman, otherwise the three of them would have been overwhelmed by the amount.
Suddenly, a commotion broke out on the street.
Have you heard?
A fortune teller has been coming to North Street these past few days; he's incredibly skilled at it.
"What kind of immortal is Granny Wang?"
Isn't he just an old Taoist priest?
I don't think this kind of thing is that miraculous. I don't believe anyone can be so accurate with fortune telling, like they're living in someone else's house.
"It's true. This morning, I passed by the old Taoist priest, and he said that I would have a quarrel with someone today. He told me that I must hold my temper, otherwise I would not only lose money, but I would also see blood."
At first, I didn't believe it and almost got into a fight with him. But as soon as I got home, my neighbor and nemesis came to cause trouble, and I had a big argument with her.
If I hadn't remembered what the fortune teller said, I would have fought with that old hag. Later I found out that she was carrying a knife today, and if I had dared to make the first move, she would have definitely bled me dry…”
"What's that? My family's hen that went missing for two months has been found. Not only did we find the hen, but we also collected a nest of eggs."
"What you've done is nothing compared to what my wife's brother's elder brother has lost all his elders. When they went to pay respects to their ancestors, they couldn't even find the graves."
His grave is halfway up the mountain, without even a tombstone, and overgrown with weeds. In recent years, when he goes to visit the grave, he just randomly finds a spot and calls his ancestors over to collect money.
Yesterday he heard that a Taoist priest had come to Pingchuan and was very accurate at fortune telling, so he came to try it out. Unexpectedly, he actually found him when he got back.
"Is it really that amazing?"
Then I'll go ask the Taoist priest when I'll be able to get married.
"Forget it, that Taoist priest is only responsible for telling fortunes, not for finding you a wife..."
Ning Bao raised an eyebrow. "A Taoist priest who's really good at fortune telling?"
Is she even more divine than her?
"Father, Mother, shall we go have our fortunes told too?"
Mu Chunping looked at his little daughter with suspicion.
"Bao'er, are you sure you're going to have your fortune told, and not to cause trouble?"
Ning Bao shook her head.
"Father, of course Ningbao went to have her fortune told. Ningbao often helps others with their fortune telling, but no one has ever told Ningbao's fortune before!"
Looking at his bright-eyed little girl, Mu Chunping couldn't bear to refuse.
"Bao'er, do you really want to go have your fortune told?"
Ning Bao nodded.
"Mmm, yes, I want to."
Mu Chunping continued to instruct,
“You can’t smash someone’s stall. As long as that person doesn’t kill anyone, we can’t affect their business. Everyone has their own way of making a living.”
"Mmm, Ningbao promises not to mess things up." Ningbao raised her chubby little hand and looked at Mu Chunping with a serious expression...
