Chapter 55
After sarcasm to each other, the two parted in disagreement, and each had a small plan in their minds.
Chu Xiangtian painted the various parts and dried them. After thinking about it, he picked up a pen and drew a little rabbit on the fan. He was a normal painter, but it was not difficult to draw a rabbit. The little rabbit stood up halfway and looked cute. After the drawing, he put on a layer of varnish to dry in the sun.
After drying, fix the shaft on the wooden box and try to turn it. The fan blades whirl and bring out a gust of breeze.
Satisfiedly, the edges and corners were polished more rounder, and Chu Xiangtian held the ice fan and went to find Fu Tian.
The ice fan is not big, only about one foot in size, which is more convenient to move than the half-person-high ice fan. At night, using smaller ones will avoid the headache of too much wind.
In the study, Fu Tianzheng was reading books honestly according to Zhou Chuanqing's arrangement. He was very focused. Whether it was Zhou Chuanqing who was sitting next to him or Chu Xiangtian who had just entered the door, he could not get a trace of his attention.
Zhou Chuanqing looked at the ice fan in his arms, twitched the corners of his mouth, and snorted. Chu Xiangtian glanced at him slantedly, and was waiting beside him.
When Fu Tian finished reading the book, he saw the two sitting left and right, with the expressions on his face a little...subtle.
"Are you quarreling?" Fu Tian carefully looked at the expressions of the two.
"No." The two of them said in unison.
Fu Tian said "Oh" hard, that's a quarrel.
His eyes fell on the small ice fan on the coffee table again, and his expression was a little curious, "Where did this come from?"
Chu Xiangtian curled his lips and pointed at him, "I did it."
The ice fan is in the color of a wood. A little rabbit with half-standing body and ears erected on the light yellow fan is painted on it, making the whole ice fan look cute.
"What are you doing this?" Fu Tian turned the handle of the ice fan, and the fan blades whirled. Fu Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, and seemed to like it very much.
Chu Xiangtian curled his lips and said that he was doting on his face, "Do you like it? If you like it, I will give it to you."
Fu Tian was holding this big toy and couldn't let go. He was stunned when he heard Chu Xiangtian's words. He turned his head to look at him for a while, pursed his lips and asked, "What did you do for me?"
Chu Xiangtian tsk a lightly, his eyes filled with a gentle smile, "So smart."
Fu Tian also laughed, holding the ice fan, as if he was trapped in the soft cotton, so sour and so happy.
"..." Zhou Chuanqing was rejected from the aura of the two of them, and coughed heavily to remind him of his existence.
Chu Xiangtian glanced at him and showed a look of complacent and contempt.
Zhou Chuanqing: “…”
*******
From June to July, we spent the hot sunshine. Except for occasionally approving the documents sent by the supervisor, Fu Tian was immersed in the rest of the time and understood the key points assigned by Zhou Chuanqing to him.
When Fu Tian was busy, Chu Xiangtian was not idle either. The pier in Sifang Town had been almost built. In early July, another order came from the capital - to dig a canal.
The canal connects Fengshui and Sihu River. After the water transportation on both sides is opened, the gold mined in Sifang Town can be transported to the capital quickly and conveniently.
In addition to the Sihu River, which is close to Fengshui, there are several other rivers radiating north and south, and the Fengshui River is the main vein to connect the four directions of east, west, south and north.
This is a major project that is moving all over the country, and there is a lot of manpower and material resources. The emperor gave the imperial edict directly to Chu Xiangtian, who happened to be in the south and refused to return to the capital.
Chu Xiangtian ignored these troubles, but now he and Zhou Chuanqing are here. Zhou Chuanqing wants to accompany Fu Tian to prepare for the exam, so Chu Xiangtian can only pinch his nose and go to the exam by himself.
Coordinating the manpower and material resources of all parties is a very troublesome thing. Fortunately, Chu Xiangtian has always been famous for his reputation, and his officials are as obedient as quails and do things honestly. Chu Xiangtian's breath was relieved.
The closer August, the more nervous Fu Tian was, the more the family affairs had been temporarily taken over by Fu Youqin. Fu Tian focused on reading, and even Chu Xiangtian had not seen anyone for several days.
In the blink of an eye, it was the seventh day of the eighth month. Fu Youqin prepared the carriage, accompanied by Fu Ji and Zhou Chuanqing, the three of them went to Nanming County to prepare for the exam.
The college entrance examination is on the ninth day of the eighth month, so they have to go there in advance to get to know the examination room.
After walking halfway through the carriage, Fu Tian, who was nervous, realized that there was one person missing. "Why didn't you see Chu Xiangtian?" After saying that, he realized that it seemed that it was not just today, but that he had not seen anyone for many days.
Zhou Chuanqing coughed lightly and had to cover Chu Xiangtian, "He arrived at the county town in advance and went to book a room first."
In fact, Chu Xiangtian has been traveling around several places for a while. Until today, Fu Tian is going to the county town to take the college entrance examination, he squeezed out the time to rush over to book an inn in advance.
Knowing that Chu Xiangtian was not coming, the loss that had just surged in Fu Tian's heart suddenly dissipated.
The carriage had been gone for nearly two hours, and it was already noon when it arrived. Fu Ji drove the carriage to stop in front of the largest inn. The waiter came up with a diligent look. Seeing the sign "Fu" on the carriage, he asked tentatively: "Is it the carriage of the Fu family's young master? A young master Chu has booked a room and is waiting in the lobby."
"Yes." Fu Ji handed the carriage to the waiter and took it back to the placement. The group walked into the lobby. Chu Xiangtian was wearing a black outfit and stood out among a group of scholars wearing scholar robes. Fu Tian saw him at a glance.
Waving at him, Fu Tian showed a clear smile on his face, and his eyebrows and eyes bent into a curve of joy.
Chu Xiangtian walked towards him with great strides, and naturally rubbed his head when he got close to him, "Are you tired of rushing on the road? Or have lunch first?"
"Not tired." Fu Tian's eyes were bright and he shook his head and said to go to have a meal first. The snacks he had on the road could only fill his stomach and not care about his fullness.
Chu Xiangtian took them to a restaurant not far away, and the private rooms were booked in advance. After lunch, Chu Xiangtian accompanied Fu Tian to digest food and coaxed him back to his room to take a nap.
Fu Tian was a little nervous at first, but the people around him seemed to be more nervous than him. Instead, he couldn't get nervous. He pursed his lips and Fu Tian said tricked: "I don't want to sleep, I can't sleep."
Chu Xiangtian had no choice but to continue walking along the street with him, and after hiking the whole street, Fu Tian was able to wash and rest obediently after dinner.
The weather in August was not cool yet and it was still very hot. Naturally, there were no luxurious items like Bingjian in the inn. Chu Xiangtian was afraid that he would not sleep well if he was hot, so he leaned beside the bed and gently fanned him with a palm fan.
The cool wind made people calm their hearts down. No one spoke. The candle shadow on the table shaking. Fu Tian stared at Chu Xiangtian for a while, and then fell asleep without realizing it.
Fu Tian was particularly well-behaved when he was sleeping, with his hands on his lower abdomen in a regular manner, and the thick and long eyelid feathers made a thick shadow under his eyelids.
Perhaps Chu Xiangtian was fanning the wind, and his expression was also peaceful, his moist lips slightly opened, revealing a little snow-white teeth.
Chu Xiangtian touched his fingers gently on his soft lips and muttered softly that he was so good. He only got up and left after he was completely asleep.
The next day, he had a day off. Before dawn, Fu Tian got up and rushed to the examination room.
There are many candidates who refer to it, and there are two long queues at the entrance of the examination room, all of which refer to it are waiting to search and enter the examination room.
The examiner who was on the romance stood at a high place and called someone. Then he went up to pick up a wooden sign with words, and then searched behind him and entered the examination room.
After waiting for almost half a quarter of an hour, we finally arrived at Fu Tian and smiled at Chu Xiangtian and the others. Fu Tian took a deep breath and walked forward slowly.
After searching and entering the examination room, Fu Tian took his wooden sign, found the corresponding position and sat in.
The examination room was tightly surrounded. Each candidate's position was surrounded by a cloth curtain and turned into a small compartment. The compartment was not big, with only a table and brushwork inside. Fu Tian sat quietly and waited for the examiner to answer the questions before he started answering.
It was about the time when the Chen Dynasty was about to be right, a loud gong sounded in the examination room, and then the sound of the examiner walking around was heard.
——I posted the question.
Fu Tian grind the ink and sat upright for the examiner to come. The college entrance examination was divided into two sessions, one was on the right and the other was on the right and the second session. The exam questions were two essays and one poem. Fu Tian was not good at poetry, but the article was written quite well. After getting the exam questions, he saw that the two questions were actually contents that he was familiar with and good at.
The first title comes from the "Book of Changes": "To the people of the world, gather the goods of the world, and return after transactions, and each obtains its meaning."
