At the start of the village examination, Shi Qingluo and Mother Xiao prepared the things for Xiao Hanzheng to take the examination and went to send him off.

After the entrance of the examination hall was closed, Shi Qingluo and the others left.

There were three rounds for the countryside exam, and each round would take three days.

Xiao Hanzheng had made ample preparations.

In addition, he practiced martial arts to strengthen his body every morning, and he often drank the spring water that Shi Qingluo had added to the water tank, so his body was in excellent condition.

After three rounds of examinations, many examinees fell ill.

Either they walked out of the examination venue with flimsy footsteps, or they looked to be in a very poor state of mind.

Xiao Hanzheng walked out of the examination venue in a graceful manner every time, making the other examinees envious and jealous.

The timeframe for the enke was very tight.

In order not to affect the formal autumn examinations at the end of the year, the examination papers were consecutive, and the results would be out earlier than the normal examination time.

As a result, the countryside exam took about twenty days, which meant that results would be ready in March.

The hui exam was also brought forward, which was in May.

This meant that the results would be obtained.

If successful, after making a trip home, candidates would rush to the capital to continue taking subsequent papers. The time was very tight.

After waiting for twenty days, Xiao Hanzheng and the rest did not go home and stayed in the capital.

They went around to explore.

On this day, Xiao Hanzheng went out to meet friends with Mr Hou.

Shi Qingluo brought Mother Xiao and the other two to a very famous Taoist temple outside the prefecture capital to offer incense.

The back of the mountain of the Taoist temple was planted with peach trees.

March was the season for peach blossoms, and a mountain of peach blossoms was very beautiful.

After Shi Qingluo brought the few of them around, they returned to the room they had booked to rest.

She liaised with Xiao Hanzheng to meet up with them later.

Xiao Baili had been learning how to draw recently and was very excited.

Hence, she asked Shi Qingluo, "Sister-in-law, can I go to the back mountain to draw?"

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Of course you can.

"Go ahead. Just come back before your brother arrives."

Xiao Baili had been practicing martial arts with them for more than half a year, and Shi Qingluo had taught them quite a number of grappling techniques.

There was also a soft whip that she had specially made for Xiao Baili at her waist, that ordinary people wouldn't be able to take away.

Moreover, Shi Qingluo knew that Xiao Hanzheng had paid someone to protect his family secretly.
