Zhou looked at the sky and said with some concern on his face: "It's already this time, and the big exam should have ended long ago, but why have these children... not come back yet?"

The old lady smiled comfortably and said, "These brats... all know with their toes. After holding on for so long, they finally survived until today. Once they were out of the cage, they would not come back if they were out of the cage! Well, there is no need to worry, they will always come back later!"

Before he finished speaking, the curtain in front of the door was lifted, and a girl came in and reported, "Report to the old lady, madam, several young masters are back." After that, the girl stretched out her hand to lift the curtain, Lin Fu took the lead, Lin Shou was behind, followed by Lin Nan and Lin Zhi. The four of them entered the house one after another, and greeted the old lady and Zhou in unison.

"Okay, get up!" When the old lady saw a few grandchildren, her face became even more smiling. Not only did she not scold her, she didn't even ask about the exam room. She only said some hard-working words to comfort her, and at the same time ordered her servants to prepare for the meal.

The old lady didn't say that, but Zhou, as the mistress, had to ask, but her face was much softer: "You guys... didn't rush back to the house after the big exam, but where did you go crazy? The big guys are worried about you here! Fu'er, you said, where did you go in such a long time?"

Originally, it was just a random question, but Lin Fu and Lin Shou shrunk their necks when asked. Lin Fu gritted his teeth and replied, "Mother, we didn't go anywhere, we were just taken by the scholars from the same exam to the back and turned around the Haizi... I came back late, and I hope my grandmother and mother will forgive me."

"Well? It's not good to go wherever you go, what to do next to Haizi? There are so many people and a lot of people. What if there is a mistake?" Zhou scolded him and turned to look at Lin Nan: "Where is Nan'er? Could it be that he followed you two to Haizier?"

"Hey! Hey! My uncle saw Baili, and his nephew didn't follow his two cousins, but went to the front of Daxiangguo Temple in Kyoto to watch the fun! Hey, it was too late to come back, which made my grandmother and uncle worry. Nan'er knew that it was wrong!" Lin Nan was able to distinguish the beauty, knowing that nothing big was going on, but he was still doing enough etiquette. Sure enough, after some words, Zhou did not ask again.

Lin Nan did not lie, but he really went to Daxiangguo Temple to watch the fun. When he first left the Gongyuan, Lin Nan planned to go back to his house as soon as possible, but the next thing changed his mind - he saw Lin Fu and Lin Shou mixed up with a group of officials to visit the kilns on Gongyuan West Street. To be honest, Lin Nan was also a little curious about Huajie. He hadn't been to this old age yet! But reason told him that it was not a good time to go now, and it was too eye-catching. If the mansion knew about it, he would have to be beaten. Therefore, Lin Nan held back and didn't go, but he didn't go... It was always not good to go back to his house at this time...

It is said that after the exam, the three brothers should go back to the house to ask their worries together, but now they are alone. When they go back, the old lady will inevitably ask, or not to say it? No matter whether they say it or not, in the end, it will be difficult to protect this matter. Who is the old lady? Lin Fu and Lin Shou, tied up together, can't take the materials for the table! Alas! Lin Nan thought about it, let's give these two cousins ​​a lot since they were young. This time... if you can go, just pass. They are all adults, so let them do these things by themselves! Therefore, Lin Nan did not go back to the house immediately, but took Lin Zhi to wander the streets and watched the juggling for a long time. Then he estimated that time would return to the house.

While speaking, the kitchen was ready. The little girls below arranged the wine and food, and everyone began to take their seats in order. No matter what everyone thought about, the night after the provincial examination ended, the family dinner in Jingbei Bo Mansion seemed particularly lively. The old lady Zhao was happy and drank two more glasses.

After such a riot, it was already four o'clock when the dinner ended. Lin Nan returned to his yard and did not sleep immediately. He carried a wooden barrel to the well where he washed his hair and dredged half a bucket of well water, came back to wash his hair, and then lit an oil lamp. The fifteen-year-old rich man had to do these things himself, and Lin Nan was afraid that he would be the only one. Even his younger brother Lin Zhi, there were two close-fitting girls around him now, but besides Lin Nan, there were no one serving people in the small courtyard of the mansion, let alone close-fitting girls.

Because of this, Zhou had said several times in front of the old lady that a nephew lived in his mansion. Seeing that his young age was not as close as a girl, he would not blame him for being an aunt for being a nephew? But when he reached the old lady, he also asked and spread his hands. There was no way. Other children in the old lady were easy to talk about, but Nan'er had his backbone since he was a child and most of the things he could integrate, but when he encountered what he believed, it would be useless to come. I don't know if it was the influence of the incident when he was a child, or if he was born with this temperament. Anyway, since he entered the mansion, he had two big girls to serve in the outer courtyard. After the two big girls were old, there were no servants who could come in easily in his yard...

Lin Nan didn’t know what others thought, and he didn’t want to worry about it. Anyway, as long as he felt that he needed and lived comfortably, he would do this.

In the light of the oil lamp, Lin Nan rubbed his cheeks, took out paper and pen from the table, and began to grind ink with the light. He had not written a letter to his parents for many days. Today, the exam was over, so he had to send a letter to his father and mother and report his safety. Especially for his mother, Lin Nan missed his mother even more. However, due to the long journey, he couldn't get rid of himself, so he had to rely on letters to express his longing.

There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, Lin Nan got up early again, greeted his grandmother and went straight to Zhuyuan, met with Meng Shi Shen Xiu, and reported the situation of the provincial examination in detail.

After all these necessary etiquettes were done, Lin Nan was idle. He had nothing to do and didn't stay at home for many years. He happened to chat with his grandmother in the room. Several people were chatting when a girl ran in outside: "The old lady knew that the old lady came to report that a young man had been to the door and did not submit a post, but she only pointed out that she was looking for Young Master Nan in the mansion. The people in the doorman did not recognize their faces, but they did not look like ordinary people, so they had no idea. They came to report what to do and asked the old lady to tell her..."
