Chapter 28

There are so many people in the world, but not many people are destined to be. Yao Si has lived in Xiaotou Village for more than ten years. Apart from the children who play with mud in the village, she has never met someone like this who can get along with her.

Maybe this is fate, otherwise why would you meet again and again? Yao Si became more and more happy the more she thought about it. No matter what, she already regarded Chu Meng as her special friend in her heart.

Chu Meng chuckled and walked towards the counter with two things.

Yao Si quickly grabbed him, "How much does these two cost?"

Chu Meng showed a smile that called her to rest assuredly: "Since you called me big brother, I met you again today, as a souvenir, and I will give it to you."

Yao Si immediately became unhappy, "How could this happen? Even though I called Brother Chu, I can't ask for your stuff. Last time you sent so much meat, I feel embarrassed now.

I don’t want to be too good, I can accept it if I can’t spend one or two.”

Although it is considered a friend, it does not mean that Yao Si will accept Chu Meng's kindness with peace of mind, not to mention that this is his own business, and the friendship between the two is not as good as giving gifts.

She stubbornly refused to let Chu Meng pay, so she asked the shopkeeper the price first, and she could accept it, so she paid for it with her wallet.

The two left the Bimo Shop, and Chu Meng found time to speak, and as soon as he spoke, he felt full of apology: "I don't mean anything else. You just want to give you something like my little sister. I'm too careless, don't blame me."

Yao Si laughed and said, "I appreciate your kindness. If you really feel sorry for it, then - if you recognize me as a friend, we will not care about anything."

"Friend?" Chu Meng smiled first, and then bowed to Fuli seriously: "I don't know if it's an honor or a misfortune to be able to be friends with such a beautiful girl."

Yao Si knew he was a joke, but he was not relieved, "I still have something to do, so I will leave you today. The future is long, and I will see you again if you have the chance."

Chu Meng smiled bitterly: "You just said you were a friend and you were about to beat me away immediately. Are you too insincere? At least you have to have some food and drink tea to learn about your friend's current situation?"

"That's why I said goodbye next time." Yao Si shrugged his shoulders with a helpless expression, "I really have something to do, you shouldn't be idle either. Anyway, you know where I live. To be honest, you are also my first serious friend."

Chu Meng nodded and smiled: "Sure, the child doesn't know what he is busy with all day. Since you have said that, don't blame me for visiting him one day without knowing it."

My family had met Chu Meng, and Yao Si nodded, said nothing, and then went straight to the yamen after saying goodbye to Chu Meng.

The examination room is set up in a different hall next to the yamen. Because the exam is approaching, there are many constables standing around the yamen. Except for the candidates, no ordinary person on the street dares to step forward.

Lei Zhibiao brought a group of people to the yamen with their chests bulging. The constable guarding the gate quickly smiled and greeted him: "Young Master is back, the master asked you just now."

"Isn't it just urging me to go to Linxi early? Why are you anxious? There are more than two months left-------" he murmured and turned to the other side of the restaurant.

Yao Si met several candidates who were preparing to enter the examination room on the road, so she followed them silently and came to the yamen before leaving alone.

You cannot enter the examination room before you register. The registration office is in the dam where you enter the main gate of the yamen. Although there is a shed, it is still hot on this hot day, and people are restless.

Yao Si stood outside the shed, hesitated for a while, and finally shouted tentatively: "Sir-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The person in charge of the registration was Zhao Xiu, the chief clerk who was originally lazy. When he heard someone shouting, he was so scared that he thought it was the county magistrate who came. He jumped up in a state of reflex: "Sir, the young one didn't sleep, the young one just closed his eyes for a while."

After his mind slowly returned, Zhao Xiu finally noticed that the person standing in front of him was not the county magistrate, but a little girl in her teens.

Thinking that my reaction just now was really embarrassing, I said in anger: "What is it? This is where you can come? Get out."

Yao Si blinked his eyes and didn't move. After a moment, he silently took out his wallet and asked, "How much does it cost to apply for the county exam?"

Zhao Xiu had already sat down, his face was not good, and he said angrily: "One or two."

Yao Si hesitated for a moment, said oh, took out a few broken silver and two strings of copper coins from his purse, and placed them on the table obediently.

The broken silver was given by the young man in the gorgeous clothes I met at the beginning. I should thank him for speaking, otherwise I wouldn’t have enough money.

Zhao Xiu was stunned for a moment, counted the silver carefully, weighed the broken silver again, which added up to one or two taels. He finally understood that the little girl was here to sign up.

Who would be unable to get along with the money? He immediately opened the registration book and raised his pen to dip it ink: "Name."

"Yao Si."

"How old?"

"Thirteen."

"Where is your home?"

"Xiaotou Village."

After filling in the basic information, Zhao Xiu took a wooden sign, wrote Yao Si's name on it, and finally stamped it with a bright red seal before handing it to her: "The wooden sign is packed, and you can enter the examination room with it. Once you enter, you must not come out, otherwise the examination qualification will be cancelled."

Yao Si took the wooden sign, his hands were shaking excitedly, and carefully looked at his name on the wooden sign, smiling from ear to ear.

Zhao Xiu put the money into the wooden box and was in a happy mood. Seeing her appearance, he spoke much more politely: "Who is taking the exam at home?"

Yao Si glanced at him, "Yao Si."

"I know it's called Yao Si." Zhao Xiu was not interested in asking, and waved his hand to beat her away: "Go back and prepare your things quickly. If you miss the exam, you will not refund it.

The exam time is on the last day of the end of this month, lasting ten days, bringing enough clothes and rice to change during this period."

Yao Si carefully put away the wooden sign. Before leaving, he asked again: "Can you just need this wooden sign to enter?"

"What nonsense is this asking?" Zhao Xiu was not angry, "If you know, leave quickly."

Yao Si got the wooden sign and was in a good mood. He didn't care about Zhao Xiu's attitude and left the yamen happily.

But as soon as I walked to the door, I heard an angry shout, "Damn girl, I finally told the young master to catch you." Her heart trembled, she looked at the sound, and the smile on her face disappeared in an instant.

Lei Zhibiao pointed at Yao Si and walked over angrily: "You are a tough guy. You dare to play tricks on me. I said, you are lucky to meet me today. Come on, arrest her for me."

Yao Si was frightened by this momentum and ran away without thinking.

"I dare to run away. I will catch you and not break your legs." Lei Zhibiao stomped his feet in anger and cursed: "What are you doing? Hurry up and catch people. If you can't catch that girl, I will break your legs."

The followers were rushing toward Yao Si in a row.
