Chapter 121 The male protagonist of the sadistic novel Imperial Examination: County Examination No.
On the day the results were announced, the sun was scorching.
Li Dashan, like an old hen protecting her chicks, came to the list early with his two children. He looked nervous, as if he was looking for some rare treasure.
Although he could not read a single word, he could still recognize his nephew's name at a glance, like a mark engraved on his heart.
When he saw Lin Qu's name hanging high at the top of the list like the brightest star in the night sky, the excitement in his heart was like a surging wave, instantly drowning him.
Li Xiaoyao was very small, like a small bean sprout. He tried hard to look up in the crowd, but still could not see anything. He only saw a bunch of heads moving around.
Li Xiaoyao: “…”
Like a little monkey, he tugged at Li Dashan's pants and shouted anxiously, "Daddy! Daddy! Hold me! Hold me!"
Li Dashan hurriedly squatted down and carefully picked up his son.
Li Xiaoyao's vision suddenly became broadened, but unfortunately, just as he looked at the list, his father carried him out of the crowd like a gust of wind.
Li Xiaoyao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, shouting, "Dad! Dad! Don't go, I haven't seen it yet!"
Li Dashan patted his son's butt gently and said unhappily, "There are so many people here, what if they step on you?"
"Don't worry, Dad has seen it."
Looking at Li Dashan's smile that almost reached his ears, Li Xiaoyao knew that Lin Qu must have done very well in the exam this time.
As soon as the father and son squeezed out of the crowd, Li Xiaoyao said in a ghostly voice, "Dad, you left Brother Lin Qu behind."
Li Dashan: “…”
He carried his son to a position about four or five meters away from the official, then glanced at the official cautiously as if walking on thin ice, and found that the official just glanced at him lightly and did not drive them away. Li Dashan then breathed a sigh of relief.
He put his son on the ground and warned him sternly, "Don't go anywhere. Stay here. Dad will go find Qu'er."
Li Xiaoyao was like a well-behaved little rabbit, nodding hurriedly and saying, "Dad, I know~"
As he spoke, he ran to the official's feet like a happy little monkey, squatted down, and waved to his father: "Dad, go quickly~"
Looking at his daring son, Li Dashan was stunned.
However, seeing that the officer had no reaction, he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
This brat!
After Li Dashan went to find Lin Qu, Li Xiaoyao's curious eyes were like two searchlights, looking up and down at the man next to him.
The man was tall and mighty, like an iron tower, with a long sword hanging from his waist. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, sweeping over the crowd.
Li Xiaoyao thought he was so cool. Judging from the man's clothes, he should be a majestic constable.
The man suddenly lowered his head, looking at Li Xiaoyao with a cold and frosty expression, and asked in a cold voice, "What are you looking at?"
Li Xiaoyao grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, and said, "Hey, sir, can I touch your sword?"
Wenren Heming has never met such a bold child in his life.
When the other children saw him, they were all scared and stepped back. Even his nephews were the same. When they saw him, they ran away as fast as a cat seeing a mouse.
However, at this moment, the little guy in front of him was different.
He stared with his big round eyes, which were full of expectation and desire, which made Wenren Heming feel very novel.
"Why should I let you touch me?" Wenren Heming raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Xiaoyao in front of him with a smile.
When Li Xiaoyao heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
His eyes widened, an expression of disbelief on his face.
He never thought that even though he tried to act cute, he would still be rejected?
It seems that this person doesn't like children.
"Hmph!" Li Xiaoyao made a dissatisfied sound.
Then he quickly turned around and ran to a place about ten meters away from Wenren Heming and squatted down.
Wenren Heming couldn't help but be stunned. He had never seen such an emotional child.
It's really laughable that he got so angry just because he was refused to touch the knife.
Wenren Heming shook his head helplessly and sighed in his heart: This child has such a bad temper!
However, he was too lazy to pay attention to such a little brat, so he just glanced at him casually and no longer paid attention to Li Xiaoyao's actions.
【Host, you are so naive. 】
Li Xiaoyao sighed helplessly: "Tongzi, you don't understand..."
He just wanted to get close to him and see if he could become a constable in the future. Then he and Lin Qu would be both heroes of literature and martial arts.
……
As soon as he stepped into the house, Li Dashan couldn't help but tell his family the news that Lin Qu had won the first place in the county exam.
The whole family was very happy to hear the news, and Mrs. Chen was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling, and kept praising Lin Qu for his promising future.
Li Xiaoyao watched from the side and was happy for Lin Qu.
"Qu'er, don't be proud and complacent. There will be a provincial examination later, so you need to work harder." Old Man Li said to Lin Qu with a serious face.
However, his raised eyebrows still revealed his inner joy, and it was obvious that he was also very happy for Lin Qu.
Lin Qu nodded seriously: "Grandson understands."
He knows very well that this county first place is just a small step towards success and there is still a long way to go to achieve his goal.
Old Man Li looked at Lin Qu, who was calm and composed, and neither arrogant nor impatient, and a sense of pride and relief welled up in his heart. He nodded with satisfaction.
Then, he turned around and glanced at everyone, his expression becoming particularly serious: "Don't tell anyone about Qu'er's exam."
Hearing this, Zhang's smile instantly froze, replaced by a look of displeasure and disappointment. She had originally hoped to show off to the villagers, but now she was restricted from discussing the matter.
However, Old Man Li did not change his mind because of Zhang's dissatisfaction. He continued, "If any of you say something nonsense and I find out, don't blame me for being rude!"
At this time, Mrs. Chen on the side said, "Second brother, follow your wife when you do work in the future. If she dares to talk nonsense, take her home and I will punish her."
The second son's wife is not careful with her words. If she spreads the news everywhere and lets Qu'er be harmed by jealous people, that would be terrible.
It's always better to be safe than sorry. It's always right for them to be on guard.
Li Dashan nodded quickly: "Mom, I understand."
Zhang: ...
