Chapter 78

Lin Yan gave Zhang Moyuan a look, Zhang Moyuan nodded, and went out for the time being.

As soon as the door was closed, Nuonuo immediately turned his head to look, and found that Zhang Moyuan was not in the room, and immediately became anxious, "Dada woo woo woo."

I wanted to get out of bed while crying.

Lin Yan quickly hugged him, and comforted him: "Daddy hasn't left, Nuonuo don't worry."

Nuonuo was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Yan with two big red eyes, "Where is Da Da?"

"Daddy is outside."

Nuonuo leaned forward to look out, as if he wanted to see if Zhang Moyuan was outside through the two wooden doors.

"Nuonuo." Lin Yan slowed down his tone, "You don't want to leave Daddy, do you?"

Nuonuo nodded aggrievedly.

"But Dad is going to take the exam in Capital City, and Dad will accompany you, and Third Uncle, we will see Third Uncle soon."

Nuonuo shook his head, "Stay with me."

Lin Yan smiled, "Daddy just can't stay with Nuonuo for the time being. Before your third birthday next year, Daddy will definitely come back to accompany you."

Nuonuo began counting with his little fingers.

"You won't see Daddy for six months at most, soon."

Seeing that Nuonuo started counting six months again, Lin Yan laughed and said, "We're not going to leave right away. Daddy will have an exam next month. You can still see him during this time."

Nuonuo's eyes lit up, "How long?"

"Daddy doesn't know either, you can ask daddy to see when he will go to Capital City."

Nuonuo is going down immediately.

But the next moment Zhang Moyuan pushed the door open and came in, obviously he had been waiting outside the door.

Nuonuo was still a little angry, but he didn't object when Zhang Moyuan carried him out.

After the father and son went out, Lin Yan smiled. In fact, let alone Nuonuo, it was very difficult for him to adapt to the life without Zhang Moyuan.

But he also knew that Zhang Moyuan must have thought it over.

Lin Yan sighed.

Zhang Moyuan went out with Nuonuo in his arms.

Nuonuo pouted, "I don't like Dadaja."

Zhang Moyuan chuckled lightly, "Really?"

Nuonuo felt aggrieved all of a sudden, and tears welled up in his eyes again.

Zhang Moyuan kissed his face, endured his distress and said, "Nuonuo, Daddy will tell you a little secret. Actually, Daddy prepared a gift for Dad, and it is in Yuan Province, but Daddy is worried that Daddy won't be able to find it., can you accompany Dad to look for it?"

Nuonuo asked in a crying voice, "Sen?"

"You will know when you go. Dad bought a house and buried it in the yard."

Nuonuo was so curious that he forgot to cry.

"Don't tell Dad about this, tell him after you find it, okay?"

Nuonuo nodded.

"After Dad finishes the exam, you will accompany Dad to Yuan Province. Dad is worried that things will be poached."

Nuonuo is struggling. On the one hand, he doesn't want to leave his father, on the other hand, he is afraid that his father's gift will be poached by others.

Zhang Moyuan walked back.

After going back and coaxing for a while, Nuonuo finally got better, so Zhang Moyuan told Lin Yan about the gift.

Lin Yan smiled, Zhang Moyuan could still cheat.

"Okay, I'll buy a house when I get to Yuan Province."

From memory, Zhang Moyuan wrote the address of a house on the paper and handed it to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan froze for a moment, "This is..."

"This is a house bought by a prince in the previous dynasty. The government didn't know about it, so it has never been taken back."

Lin Yan glanced again, "The prince bought it, it must be very big and expensive, right?"

Although they are relatively well-off now, they still cannot afford such a large mansion.

Zhang Moyuan nodded, "Because of the high price, it has not been sold for several years."

Seeing Lin Yan's expression of resistance, Zhang Moyuan smiled and said in a low voice, "If you buy it, maybe there will be surprises in the yard."

"Surprise? Could it be that gold is buried in the yard?"

"Ok."

Lin Yan's eyes lit up, and Zhang Moyuan said it was a surprise, so there must be a lot.

"How many?"

"It's almost enough for you to buy the house and completely renovate it."

Lin Yan: "..."

Zhang Moyuan turned over the piece of paper with the address on it, briefly drew on the back, and circled the place where the gold was buried.

Lin Yan dried the ink, then carefully folded it and put it in his arms.

Great.

Since he decided to cultivate pearls, he has been taking stock of the money in his hands. After all, a considerable amount of money needs to be invested in the early stage of pearl cultivation, and the first batch may not be successful.

He even thought about going to Yuan Province to start a barbecue business for a while, and then officially start when he has accumulated enough.

Don't worry about it now.

According to Zhang Moyuan's habit of leaving three points in his speech, there should be a lot of gold in the ground.

"But things are buried a little deep, and it may take more time."

Lin Yan nodded, "OK."

After a pause, Zhang Moyuan smiled, and said softly: "I will rush to Yuan Province as soon as possible. If you encounter difficulties, it's the same to wait until I go."

"it is good."

The two looked at each other for a moment, Zhang Moyuan stepped forward and hugged Lin Yan into his arms, and said to himself, "Actually, it's not bad to be a scholar for a lifetime."

Lin Yan froze for a moment, "What?"

He didn't catch it.

Zhang Moyuan smiled, "It's nothing. According to the time, the State Governor will stay in Yuan Province until the beginning of next year. You can go to him if you encounter anything these days. Don't be afraid, I can handle it no matter what the consequences are."

Lin Yan hummed, "Take care of yourself, Nuonuo and I are waiting for you in Yuanzhou, if... If it's really troublesome in the capital, you should come earlier."

Zhang Moyuan understood what Lin Yan meant.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"it is good."

When the two returned to the house, Nuonuo was still waiting for them with his eyelids open. He usually slept like a piglet at this time.

Lin Yan didn't carry him to the crib, but let him sleep on the big bed.

Nuonuo clung tightly to Zhang Moyuan, grabbing his front with two little paws, her little head still buried in his chest.

Lin Yan lay beside Zhang Moyuan, patted Nuonuo's back with one hand, and the family of three clung close together.

Next, Lin Yan seized the time and went to the blacksmith's shop to order dozens of sets of tools, and then went to Boss Tang's to tell him that he would leave early, and ordered a set of children's digging toys for Nuonuo.

Time soon entered August, and before the exam, Boss Tang sent someone to deliver the little toy, and at the same time settled the previous money.

This set of toys was made by Lin Yan after the small plastic shovels and shovels he had seen in his previous life. There are ten toys in all sizes.

The edges are polished smooth, safe for children under five years old to play.

"Nuonuo, what is this? Daddy asked me to give it to you."

Nuonuo glanced at it with a curious expression.

Lin Yan pretended to be naive, "It looks like it's for digging. Why did Daddy give you this? Could it be that he asked you to dig the ground?"

Nuonuo immediately panicked, "No way."

"What is that for?"

"Phuket Island."

"Don't you know?"

Nuonuo quickly nodded again, "A few."

Lin Yan suppressed a smile, covered the box containing the toy, and put it on the ground, "Then leave it to you, and put it away yourself."

"Ok."

Lin Yan walked to the door and peeked in secretly.

Nunuo da da da ran over, a fart.He sat down on the small box.

Lin Yan: "..."

Nuonuo sat for a while, then stood up, his fart pouted.Gu wanted to lift the box up, but after trying twice, it still didn't move. He raised his foot and kicked it lightly, but it still didn't move.

Just as Lin Yan was about to go in and help him, he saw him running to the side of the crib, tiptoeing to tear off his little quilt, and dragging it over to cover it directly on the box.

Lin Yan: "?"

Nuonuo stood there watching for a while, spreading his hands in satisfaction, "I can't see it anymore."

Lin Yan: "..."

Why not just cover your eyes.

The township examination is divided into three sessions, on the ninth day, the 12th day, and the 15th day of the first day.

Lin Yan had seen it on TV before. The dormitory for the exam was very narrow and the environment was poor. Candidates had to take the exam for three days.

Some candidates may commit suicide because they can't stand the test, and some who have a little back encounter poisonous snakes and insects. In short, everything is hard to say.

Lin Yan also bought a few oilcloths, fearing that it would rain halfway through the exam and Zhang Moyuan's exam paper would be wet.

In short, he was more anxious than Zhang Moyuan himself.

Even Nuonuo followed around anxiously.

The day before the exam, Nuonuo brought over his small shovel, "Da Da, here you are."

Zhang Moyuan wondered: "Isn't this your small shovel, why did you give it to me?"

"Hit the bugs."

After speaking, he demonstrated to Zhang Moyuan and slapped the ground.

Zhang Moyuan laughed, "Nuonuo keeps it for himself, you can't bring it in."

Then he looked at Lin Yan who was packing his things, and comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll be fine even if I encounter poisonous snakes and insects."

Lin Yan knew that he had practiced martial arts before, so why would he be afraid of these things? In fact, he was just worried that Zhang Moyuan wouldn't be able to rest well inside.

According to the regulations of the court, the early submission of the rural examination papers must wait until the next day, that is to say, no matter what, Zhang Moyuan has to sleep in the No. 1 room for one night.

"I prepared some dry food for you, remember to eat."

Zhang Moyuan nodded. He had passed the test in his previous life and was familiar with these procedures, but he couldn't tell Lin Yan.

"I'll be out tomorrow."

"it is good."

Early the next morning, Lin Yan took Nuonuo to send Zhang Moyuan to the tribute courtyard.

Jiang Tianzong seized the time to discuss the test questions with Zhang Moyuan. The last time he took the exam for a scholar, Zhang Moyuan bet on the test questions, so he wanted Zhang Moyuan to talk more.

But Zhang Moyuan had seen the last exam question by accident, but he didn't know about this year's exam question.

Nuonuo stretched out his little paw and pushed Jiang Tianzong down, and said angrily, "I tap."

It means this is his daddy.

Jiang Tianzong begged: "Nuonuo, can Uncle Jiang ask you another question?"

Nuonuo hesitated a bit.

Zhang Moyuan said lightly: "I've said what I have to say before, don't be too nervous, with your current level, there should be no problem."

Jiang Tianzong nodded, "Hearing you say that makes me more confident."

Nuonuo was finally able to monopolize his father, and happily put his arms around Zhang Moyuan's neck and talked to him.

But the palace will arrive soon.

Zhang Moyuan handed Nuonuo to Lin Yan, then raised his hand to touch Nuonuo's head, and said with a smile, "I'll be out tomorrow."

There were quite a few relatives around who were taking the exam, and some of them turned their heads to look at him when they heard what he said, with envy or disdain in their eyes, it was very complicated anyway.

Lin Yan raised Nuonuo's little paw and waved it, and said with a smile, "Got it."

Nuonuo pulled out her hand, then leaned over, holding Zhang Moyuan's face with both hands, and kissed him on the forehead.

One kiss was not enough, so pursed lips and kissed several times.

Lin Yan held back a smile and pulled him away, "Okay, let Daddy go in."

Nuonuo nodded, "Let's go."

"it is good."

The search in the township examination was very strict, Zhang Moyuan waited at the door for a long time before he was let go, and after he entered, Lin Yan walked back with Nuonuo.

Early the next morning, Lin Yan got up and cooked some porridge, put it in a food box and took it to the Gongyuan.

What he was thinking was that Zhang Moyuan had eaten dry food for a whole day, and it would be more comfortable to drink some hot porridge when he came out.

Nuonuo was in a stroller today, so Lin Yan put the food box on the board in front of him for him to hold.

As a result, when he walked halfway, he saw Zhang Moyuan approaching him.

Nuonuo almost knocked over the food box with joy, "Tack!"

Zhang Moyuan ran over quickly, first received the food box in his hand, and then said: "Why are you here so early?"

"Come to pick you up, Nuonuo woke up very early, clamoring to go out to find Daddy."

Nuonuo eagerly stretched out her arms, motioning for Zhang Moyuan to hug him.

Lin Yan took the food box, and Zhang Moyuan bent down and hugged Nuonuo into his arms.

"Go back quickly, I cooked porridge."

"it is good."

For the next two games, Zhang Moyuan would not let Lin Yan and Nuonuo see him off, even if Lin Yan wanted to pick him up, because every time Zhang Moyuan arrived home before he picked him up.

After the last scene, Lin Yan started to pack his things.

The release of the list will probably be until the end of the month, and there is still half a month.

This half month was extremely torturous for other candidates, but for Zhang Moyuan and Lin Yan, it was no different from every day in the past.

At best, Nuonuo is not happy.

He knew that his father was going to Capital City in more than half a month, and he would not take him with him.

Zhang Moyuan planned to personally send Lin Yan and Nuonuo to Yuan Province, but Lin Yan refused.

"There will be a Luming Banquet after the announcement of the rankings. It's inappropriate for you to be absent from such an important occasion just after being admitted to Juren. Besides, you haven't arranged everything for us, so don't worry."

Zhang Moyuan specifically told Jiang Tianzong to ask Mu Qing and Mu Shi to send Lin Yan and Nuonuo there. The two of them often escorted Jiang Tianzong and had rich experience.

Seeing that he was still worried, Lin Yan said again: "Besides, Capital City is so far away, and it will take a month to go there if it goes well. It's better for you to leave earlier."

From the end of the township examination to the palace examination, the middle is very tight. After going to Capital City, have to deal with various invitations and gatherings.

That's how it's played on TV.

Zhang Moyuan complied.

On the last day of August, the rankings finally came out.

Jiang Tianzong has been anxious since yesterday, and even ran to the Gongyuan early in the morning on the day of the announcement of the results.

"Moyuan, why don't you go and have a look?"

Zhang Moyuan held Nuonuo in his arms, and calmly fed him porridge in the yard, "I'll go later."

But as soon as Jiang Tianzong ran to the door, he heard a gong beating from far to near, he was stunned for a moment, this is...

The whole Chunrong Street was startled by the movement, and everyone ran out to watch the excitement.

"What's going on, what's going on?"

"What else could be happening, you forgot, today is the day when the rankings are announced."

"That's right, that's why Xie Yuan came from our street? Whose family is it?"

Jiang Tianzong also came to his senses, he was very clear about his level, although the official on horseback was coming towards his house, Xie Yuan could never be him.

So it was Zhang Moyuan.

This result is not surprising at all.

Back then, Zhang Moyuan was also the number one scholar in the examination.

The officials arrived soon, and the leader dismounted, raised his eyes and looked at the door number carefully, and made sure that he had gone the right way, with a smile on his face.

"Master, do you dare to ask if this is Master Zhang Moyuanzhang's house?"

Jiang Tianzong nodded, "Master, wait a minute."

Then he ran in quickly and shouted: "Moyuan, come out quickly, you have won the prize."

It just so happened that Zhang Moyuan carried Nuonuo to the house to change clothes, Lin Yan hurried in, "Mo Yuan, get out quickly, the official messenger is here."

Zhang Moyuan insisted on putting on Nuonuo's sleeves before going out.

Lin Yan hurriedly followed behind him with Nuonuo in his arms, Xie Yuanye, he had to go and have a look.

As soon as the leading officer saw Zhang Moyuan coming out, he immediately waved back, and then the gong rang again, making it lively.

The gate was full of people.

Nuonuo was not afraid either, and looked curiously with his two big eyes open.

Zhang Moyuan said a few words to the officer, then gave them some money and sent them away.

Jiang Tianzong cupped his hands and said enviously, "Master Zhang."

Zhang Moyuan smiled, "Why don't you go?"

"Here we go."

Zhang Moyuan turned around without any disturbance on his expression.

Lin Yan smiled and said: "My family's husband is really good, not only won the Juren, but also the first name."

Nuonuo asked curiously, "Kuang Kuang?"

He called the beating of the gong just now a bang bang.

Lin Yan explained to him, "That's because people from the government came to congratulate Daddy, which means Daddy is very powerful."

Nuonuo said happily: "Daddy is sick!"

Zhang Moyuan smiled, "Thank you Nuonuo."

Jiang Tianzong didn't come back until an hour later, and Lin Yan knew it was right when he saw his beaming expression.

"congratulations."

Jiang Tianzong laughed loudly, "I really won. Although I am the last few, I am also the master of Juren now."

Lin Yan said congratulations again.

Jiang Tianzong also told Zhang Moyuan other information, "He Qi and Zhu Wenwen also won. He Qi and I ranked about the same, and Zhu Wenwen ranked tenth. This year, our Yanming's grades are much better than Yanyin's. They only got five people in the exam., we have eleven people, we can be regarded as elated."

From Jiang Tianzong's mouth, Lin Yan knew that Zhang Moyuan often provided tutoring to other students in the academy.It can be said that Yanming's good grades in the exam this year are inseparable from his tutoring.

In the afternoon, the other nine admitted students all came, and all of them brought generous gifts.

Lin Yan took Nuonuo to the house to pack things, leaving space for them.

"Daddy is amazing, isn't he?"

Nuonuo nodded, proudly said: "Daddy is tired."

"Daddy will be even more powerful in the future. When he goes to Capital City, he will win the first prize and become a high official."

Nuonuo didn't understand what the champion meant, but it didn't prevent him from showing a more proud expression.

"So, Nuonuo, be good and let Daddy go to Capital City, okay? After he becomes more powerful, our family can be reunited."

Nuonuo pursed her lips and stubbornly refused to agree.

Lin Yan touched his small face, then pulled his left hand out, finger by finger, "One, two, three... six, you will be able to see Daddy again in six months,He was number one at that time."

Lin Yan deliberately shortened the time.

Nuonuo looked down at his hand, probably felt that the six fingers were not long, and there was some struggle in his eyes.

"When Daddy sees you, you will be three years old, about this tall."

Lin Yan made a big comparison, which is very exaggerated.

Nuonuo looked up at his hands, his eyes wide open, and seemed surprised too.

"When the time comes, you'll be a big kid. Let Daddy be surprised, okay?"

Nuonuo reluctantly nodded, "Yuzhuzhu."

Lin Yan smiled, "Yes, Nuonuo and daddy went to Yuan Province to raise pearls together, and the pearls raised can be sold for a lot of money."

"Ok."

Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief, he was finally coaxed.

This time he was not in a hurry, and he was escorted by Mu Qingmu Shi, so Lin Yan took all his and Nuonuo's things, including the baby carriage, crib, and all the remaining saltpeter.

Zhang Moyuan went to the martial arts gym and hired a few thugs to follow them.

Nuonuo had been put on countless high hats by Lin Yan in the past few days, so he kept holding back from crying, but in the end he couldn't hold back, and cried very sadly in Zhang Moyuan's arms with a wow.

Zhang Moyuan's eyes were also red, and such moments of showing his emotions were rare for him, so it could be seen that he was really moved.

Lin Yan wiped his eyes, restrained his emotions and said, "Okay, Nuonuo, Daddy is going to attend the Lu Ming Banquet, shall we go first?"

Zhang Moyuan carried Nuonuo to the side to coax him for a while, and when he came back, Nuonuo had stopped crying, but his two little hands were still tightly clutching Zhang Moyuan's skirt.

Lin Yan hugged him and coaxed him to let go.

"Moyuan, take care of yourself, we are waiting for you in Yuan Province."

Zhang Moyuan bent down and kissed Lin Yan's lips, and Nuonuo also moved his small face to give Zhang Moyuan a kiss.

"I know, take care of yourself."

I don't know how much I should say these days. Lin Yan waved his hand and reluctantly said, "Let's go."

"it is good."

Zhang Moyuan followed the carriage for a long time, and he didn't stop until Nuonuo stopped crying.

Lin Yan sighed and thought to himself, luckily it's only half a year, as long as they don't separate in the future, half a year doesn't seem to be a problem.

Thinking about it better, taking Nuonuo to the capital city so far away, and then taking him to Yuan Province in just a few months, Nuonuo is so small, he probably couldn't bear it.

Lin Yan comforted himself silently, then looked down at Nuonuo in his arms.

Nuonuo was still sobbing, Lin Yan fed him some water and patted his back lightly, Nuonuo was soon lulled to sleep by him.

His mouth was still flattened in his sleep.

Lin Yan kissed him on the forehead, and slowly lowered his flat mouth.

"Tat-tat."

"Father is here."

Nuonuo rubbed into his arms and fell asleep again.

Mu Qing turned her head and whispered: "Brother Yan, you should sleep for a while too."

"it is good."

Lin Yan lifted the curtain of the carriage and took a look outside, Zhang Moyuan had long been out of sight.

Never before has Lin Yan realized how much he loves Zhang Moyuan like now.

The author has something to say:

Today is the little crying bag Nuonuo.
