Chapter 107 Borrow the pen and give it to the uncle?

Bai Zepei was very disgusted with him, but with so many people watching, it was hard for him to get angry, so he said with a cold face: "I'm sorry, uncle, I only have a pen. If I lend it to you, I won't be able to take the exam. I'm a poor family, so it's ridiculous." "

He thought Bai Yibo would leave after hearing this, but Bai Yibo continued with a shy face: "Uncle has been taking the exam for so many years, and finally got a chance, and you are still young, can't you give in to uncle first? "

Danliang State values ​​filial piety, so there is nothing wrong with what he said. Those candidates who did not understand the situation of the Bai family looked at Bai Zepei, as if he violated the principles of Confucius and Mencius if he did not agree.

Bai Zepei frowned slightly. His uncle was really unwilling to give up and would come to trouble him before the exam.

But he soon laughed and said, "Uncle, you are joking with me again. I went to grandpa's place a few days ago and saw that you have three brushes. How can you have no pens to use? Even grandpa has two good pens. Definitely I won’t let you come to the examination room empty-handed. You don’t want to see if I am generous, do you?”

Someone laughed after hearing this, "This uncle just wants to liven up the atmosphere in the examination room. I'm afraid you'll be nervous."

Bai Yibo wanted to say that he forgot to bring it, but before he could speak, he heard Bai Zepei continue: "Uncle, I'm going to my seat. I promised grandpa in advance that he would get good grades in the exam. It would be unfilial to break my promise to him. So I really can’t lend you the pen.”

After saying that, he left straight away, leaving Bai Yibo staring at him, using his filial piety to his grandfather to suppress him. He could not say that Bai Zepei was unfilial.

"Just like that girl, she has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, huh." Bai Yibo muttered in a low voice and returned to his seat.

The exam started not long after. Bai Zepei was very calm and answered the questions calmly. Even the examiner couldn't help but take a second look when he passed by. Firstly, his answers were rich in content, and secondly, his handwriting was very beautiful. .

Think about it, someone who doesn’t give up pen and ink, practices calligraphy with water on the table every day, and writes how many bald brushes he has, can he not develop good calligraphy? At this time, handwriting is like a person's appearance. If two people with the same grades are ranked in the end, the person with beautiful handwriting will definitely be ranked first.

The exam went very smoothly. After it was over, Bai Zepei ignored Bai Yibo and left the exam room directly to find his elder brother. Unexpectedly, his elder brother was already waiting outside, and his originally tanned face was a little sallow.

"Brother, how are you? Are you feeling better?" Bai Zepei asked with concern.

Bai Zehao smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay. I went to Fushou Tang to take pills after you left. I'm much better now. It's also my fault that I want to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake. I asked the store and they didn't give any sweet-scented osmanthus cake as a gift. I didn’t find that guy either. Fortunately, you didn’t eat last night, otherwise..."

"I blame my carelessness. I didn't expect that there would be such a conspiracy in a small town like ours." Erlang shook his head and said in a helpless tone, "Brother, let's hire a car to go home. You still have to go back and have a good rest for two days. "

Bai Zehao didn't dare to show off. His calves were trembling now, so the two hired a donkey cart and hurried back to Houshan Village.

As soon as he got off the bus in the village, some enthusiastic people gathered around Bai Zepei to ask how the exam was going. Bai Zepei politely answered them one by one, and then apologized to everyone, saying: "We were tricked by evil people in the town. My eldest brother was drugged and kept running away." , I have to send him back to rest first, and I will come back another day to thank all uncles and aunts."

After he finished speaking, he didn't waste much time, and walked back while supporting his elder brother. The expressions of the people behind him were particularly exciting, and they all guessed that there were still people drugging people in this town, and the world was becoming increasingly unstable.

As soon as the two entered the house, Lin Ping'er and Bai Yihong came up to them and asked how Bai Zepei was doing. Before Bai Zepei could answer, they realized something was wrong with Bai Zehao. Bai Ruozhu also came out to talk with Xiao Dengdeng. Now she I have been in confinement for more than 20 days, but I can still walk around in the yard.

Just as Bai Zehao was about to talk, he saw Bai Ruozhu coming, and he was worried that Bai Ruozhu would be angry and said, "I'm fine, let's talk later."

It's fine if I don't say this, but it makes me even more anxious if I say it, as if I've half-heard a secret, and it's uncomfortable to be stuck there.

"Brother, just tell me. I wasn't even angry when Sanlang touched my house and wanted to beat me. What else could make me angry?" Bai Ruozhu said, giving her elder brother an angry look.

"What?" It was Bai Zehao's turn to jump up. Even Bai Zepei, who was always steady and somewhat perverted, hurriedly turned his head to look at Bai Ruozhu, asking to hear what happened.

Bai Ruozhu shrugged her shoulders. It was better now. She was originally going to listen to the story, but now she told it first. She had no choice but to briefly tell the story of Saburo's coming to the house. She still told him that she was hiding, including the fact that Saburo was beaten up when someone found him.

"Second brother, you must be prepared. Your books were ruined a lot by Sanlang." Bai Ruozhu glanced at the second brother, and sure enough, Erlang's face turned red with anger.

Erlang didn't say anything and went straight back to his room. Bai Zehao followed him. He also lived in the room and had some of his things. Fortunately, Wang Caiyue had brought all the things he had given him with him. If Saburo were to find him, he didn't know what trouble would happen.

Bai Zehao wanted to clean up, but Erlang stopped him and said, "Brother, don't move yet. I'll go to the old house to see grandpa."

"Grandpa is partial to Saburo, is it useful to go?" Bai Zehao showed some disdain. I don't know if he was disdainful of Saburo or the confused old man.

Bai Zepei sneered, "It's different this time. Destroying books is an insult to the saints. One of them was written by the current saint's teacher. Saburo's behavior is enough to commit a serious crime of treason."

After saying that, he ignored his stunned parents and strode out with the book.

Bai Ruozhu looked at his back and raised the corner of her mouth. The second brother was indeed the second brother. He immediately found the key point to kill the opponent, fast enough, accurate enough and cruel enough.

After Erlang left, Bai Yihong and Lin Ping'er came back to their senses, and then gathered around Bai Zehao to talk about what happened in the town, which affected whether Bai Zepei could participate in the provincial examination.

Bai Zehao explained the matter in detail, which made the old couple feel cold.

"W-Who could have done this? God bless me. If the second child eats that sweet-scented osmanthus cake, today's exam will probably be..." Lin Ping'er stomped her feet angrily.

If Bai Zepei has diarrhea like Bai Zehao, even if he can take the exam in time, it will definitely be difficult to perform normally due to his physical condition.

"Brother, did you keep those osmanthus cakes?" Bai Ruozhu asked with a frown.

Bai Zehao hurriedly took out the small baggage from his body. There were two pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake wrapped there, which were leftovers from his meal.

Bai Ruozhu took a look and twitched her nose slightly. As soon as she smelled it, she knew that it was mixed with croton powder. Although the amount was not very large, it was enough for a person to have diarrhea.
