Lan Wangshu looked at the boy's delicate features and laughed out loud.
"Don't worry, it won't take too long, we'll be able to meet soon."
She had already made plans and she must go to the capital.
"Boss, take care."
Zhou Xingnan decided to go home. He had to take on his own mission. In Lan Wangshu's words, there had to be someone in Kyoto who knew the news so that he could pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.
"Take this."
Lan Wangshu took out a hidden sword and gave it to Zhou Xingnan. This one was not considered advanced, but it was novel. When taken apart, it was just a pile of wooden parts with exquisite shapes. It could be carried with you as an accessory, and when put together, it could give people a chance of survival at a critical moment.
The young man lifted his long legs and used the force to jump directly onto the carriage. His eyebrows and eyes were heroic and his features were strong.
"Boss, remember to come to Kyoto."
Lan Wangshu smiled and nodded, watching him go away. Fortunately, they were all on the emperor's side, and there was no Shura field. It seemed that the emperor had already decided to suppress the aristocratic families.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it was March of the following year. Lan Luochen lived up to everyone's expectations and passed the county examination with the first place. The next examination would be in June.
The boy was not carried away by his temporary achievements. He became more humble and gentle, looking like a harmless stream. Only Lan Wangshu could see the turbulent waves in his heart.
In countless silent nights, Lan Luochen was studying hard. He seemed to be getting further and further away from her, and he was unwilling to tell her many things.
Lan Wangshu looked at Lan Luochen who had returned from outside, greeted her politely, then went back to his room and never came out again except to eat.
This made her very anxious. Could it be that he had reached his rebellious stage? No one would treat themselves like a machine. Even if they were a machine, they would be tired after running so non-stop.
She was a little helpless, but decided to find an opportunity to talk to Lan Luochen.
"Sister Wangshu, come quickly, come with me."
Cang Wenyuan hadn't come to see her for a long time. He heard that the wheat field seemed to be ripe, so he watched it every day. Why did he come to see her today?
"What happened, Brother Cang?"
"Zhao Boping said the wheat is ready to be harvested. The stalks are a little bent, so he asked you to go over and take a look."
A smile appeared on Lan Wangshu's face and her eyes brightened. It was great that she could feel more confident now.
The girl pulled Lan Luochen out of the mountain of books and the sea of questions, and the boy was still a little unhappy.
"Luo Chen."
Lan Luochen looked at Lan Wangshu's somewhat surprised expression and then realized that he had overreacted and actually lost his temper with her. However, he was really anxious inside. He could only succeed and not fail. If the prefectural examination went well, he could take part in the Ministry of Rites examination in September next year, and then in April after the new year, he could take part in the palace examination.
When that day comes, he can protect their home with her. The young man glanced at the book with nostalgia, which made Lan Wangshu very angry.
"Is there a golden house or a beautiful woman in the book?"
"I'm sorry, sister. I'm just a little anxious."
"Why are you in such a hurry? For fame? For protecting me?"
Seeing that she was angry, Lan Luochen didn't dare to argue and just lowered his head to agree. He felt infinitely aggrieved in his heart. Why did she lose her temper with him?
"Okay, Wangshu, Luo Chen also wants to support this family as soon as possible, so don't be angry with the child."
"Lan Luochen, listen to me carefully. You can't become a fat man in one bite. More haste makes waste. You have to take one step at a time and be down-to-earth. No one is putting so much pressure on you. You are the one who puts the pressure on yourself."
"You are only thirteen years old. You have read some books and think you are right about some things. But you have to understand one thing. What are you doing for? You are doing it for your family. Look at you now. You are neglecting your family. It has been a long time since we played together or had a good meal together. Is it possible that we have become estranged? How can I explain to... in the future?"
Lan Luochen grabbed Lan Wangshu's hand in panic. He looked at Uncle Lan's crystal clear eyes, feeling at a loss as to what to do.
The girl's heart was filled with heartache and worry, he could see it clearly, Ai felt more and more useless and always made her sister sad.
He stretched out his hands and hugged Lan Wangshu, relaxed his body, closed his eyes, and leaned on her shoulder with some attachment.
Cang Wenyuan frowned but still said nothing. It had not been easy for them. They had worked hard for this family. They were all tired and should have a good rest.
Lan Wangshu breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Lan Luochen had become insane and would become like Fan Jin in the future. Then what would be the point of passing the imperial examination? He would no longer be normal.
What is her purpose in putting so much thought into this? Isn't it to let people live freely, happily and find their true selves?
"Luo Chen was wrong."
Lan Luochen raised his head slightly and let go of Lan Wangshu.
"Of course you are wrong. This is putting the cart before the horse."
Lan Wangshu snorted unhappily, without even looking at him, straightened his clothes, and was about to leave with Cang Wenyuan.
"Sister, wait for me."
The girl didn't stop walking, her eyebrows slightly raised.
