Chapter 853 Game 2 Begins
Chapter 853 Game 2 Begins
The two old men looked at each other, exchanged a knowing look, and then rolled up their sleeves in tacit understanding and pulled the three little ones into the yard together.
The door was then tightly closed, isolating the Lin family's bustling noise from the quiet street.
The next morning, before daybreak, the gate of the Lin family opened again, and Xiao Yining's exclusive carriage slowly drove out to welcome the second round of the Enke.
Inside the carriage, neatly dressed Lin Yuzan was wordlessly pulling away his daughter's chubby hands that were hugging his waist.
Last night, while his daughter was asleep, he secretly discussed with his wife that there was no need for her to send him off this morning.
Unexpectedly, the plan did not allow for changes. As soon as he woke up, his daughter hugged him like a leech and refused to let go, moving from her arms to her thighs, and now to her waist.
(Xiao Yining: (▼へ▼メ), my acting skills are superb, I can even play doubles in broad daylight, and you still want to take advantage of me sleeping and deprive me of the opportunity to go out? Dream on!)
Wan Niang took advantage of the situation and held her daughter in her arms, teasing her, "Husband, look, Sister Qing can't bear to leave you!"
Lin Yuzan finally felt relieved. He glanced at his daughter unhappily and said firmly, "How could she not want to leave me? She clearly wanted to come out and watch the fun!"
As soon as these words fell, Xiao Yining's accusatory voice rang out: "Sister Qing hasn't had anything delicious to eat in three days!"
Lin Yuzan: (*  ̄︿ ̄), I think about eating all day long!
"Then mother will send father to the Imperial Examination Hall and then take Sister Qing for a walk."
Wan Niang hurriedly coaxed her and gave her husband a look that said "give her some space".
Lin Yuzan snorted softly, then opened a corner of the car curtain that was blocking the wind and snow. The snow that was flying all over the sky was gradually fading away, but it would become thick again in a few days. However, it would also give people the illusion that the snow would stop.
He turned around and said to his wife and daughter, "This snow won't stop. If you get any invitations in the next two days, remember to decline them. It's not worth going out for a feast in this cold winter and getting frozen first."
The latter sentence is said to the little kid who wants to join in every fun.
When little Yining heard this, she pouted and gave her father a look that said "I don't want to bother with you".
Wan Niang suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said to her husband, "Husband, the Lian family is planning to hold a family reunion banquet on the day the results are announced, but we haven't received the invitation yet."
Lin Yuzan was silent for a moment, recalling what Jiang Tingsong said to him before he left yesterday.
"You said before in the academy that you didn't want to attend the family recognition banquet. That was just youthful and impulsive. If you give up this marriage, with the emperor's regard for you, you will have no choice but to live the life of a lone minister. Aside from the emperor, you will be surrounded by enemies. The life of a lone minister is not easy to walk. Just look at Liu Yang. He thinks twice before he acts without any responsibility."
He had walked the path of a lone minister in his previous life.
The old man scoffed and thought, "The Lian family's affairs have nothing to do with us. If they really make things difficult for me, I have ways to deal with them. Don't worry, Wanniang."
Wan Niang carefully observed her husband's expression. Seeing that he was normal, she nodded and said softly, "Whatever decision you make, Qing Jie and I will stand behind you and support you."
Lin Yuzan was deeply moved and could not help but hold his wife's soft hands, looking at her lovingly.
The carriage was also filled with pink bubbles called "love".
But the next moment, it all shattered.
I just heard Xiao Yining say something that was not related to the topic: "Mom, a few days ago, Qingjieer placed a bet, and Dad didn't stop her. He also wanted Qingjieer to do it. You shouldn't have hit Qingjieer!"
Lin Yuzan and his wife: ...
Wan Niang's face once again showed the gentle (horrifying) smile she had when she first sent someone to take the exam. She ruthlessly pulled her hand back and placed it on her knees. "Husband, we can discuss this matter after you announce the results."
These words were gentle, but they gave the old man a rare chill.
Lin Yuzan: (╬▔皿▔)╯, little kids are just a hindrance to couples getting along!
Just at this moment, they arrived at the Imperial Examination Hall. The biting north wind blew up the snowflakes, but it did not stop the candidates from fighting hard to change their destiny.
The old man swallowed his bitterness secretly, said goodbye to his wife and daughter in a hurry, then quickly lifted the curtain in front of the carriage, jumped off the carriage, and supported Wang Cheng who was walking behind him, and walked quickly towards the gate of the tribute hall.
Xiao Yining put his head against the car window and watched the two old men leave through the gap in the curtain.
They arrived earlier today than last time, and there were only a few candidates queuing up. Not long after, the two old men entered the Imperial Examination Hall.
She raised her head and announced to her mother: "Mom, Dad and uncle are in. We can go to the street now!"
Unexpectedly, her mother said the same thing as last time: "Let's leave after the Imperial Examination Hall closes. I'll take you to Yuelai Teahouse for some delicious food."
Xiao Yining: Σ(⊙▽⊙“a, Yuelai Teahouse only has tea cakes and snacks for chatting, there is no delicious food!
The little kid asked curiously, "Mom, are you going to take Sister Qing for tea?"
Wan Niang lowered her head and smiled gently at her daughter, saying, "Mother wants to see the world and see what the gambling game of having Sister Qing bet on the golden bed is like!"
Little Yining: (wДw), is her mother going to use the "beating weapon" at Yuelai Teahouse? Dad, my life is over!
In the Imperial Examination Hall, Lin Yuzan was holding a number sign and walking towards his own room when he suddenly sneezed loudly for no reason.
Wang Cheng put his arm around his shoulder with concern and asked, "Shun'an, do you need some ginger slices to ward off the cold? I brought some with me, my uncle. I'll get it for you before the exam starts."
"No need!"
Lin Yuzan took a step to the side and shook off his mischievous hand.
"Tsk, it's rare to be assigned to the same row of cells with my uncle. What a coincidence! Shun'an didn't even give my uncle a chance to care about you." Wang Cheng continued in a sly tone.
The rooms assigned to the two old men this time were obviously done intentionally. Not only were they both in the first row, but their seats were also next to each other, facing Mingyuan Building, and they could feel the pressure of the invigilator at all times.
Wang Cheng has already started his intermittent madness, symptom: concern for his old rival!
Lin Yuzan just rolled his eyes at him and let him figure it out for himself.
Soon, the two arrived at their own cell.
Wang and Lin looked at each other in the small compartment separated by only a wall.
Lin Yuzan: →_→, it’s really convenient to communicate!
Wang Cheng: ←_←, it also makes it easy to cheat!
The two old men who mastered special skills shook their heads with a smile, hugged their thick bedding, walked towards their own cells, began to catch up on their sleep, and waited for the opening gong of the second game.
