I, the fox clan, Arita!

Ling Shu and Wei Xiuya began to pack their luggage and prepare to return to the capital, and Cheng Yi also came to say goodbye.

"The new emperor ascends the throne, next year's Chunwei will be the emperor's first imperial examination after succeeding to the throne," Cheng Yi said, "I don't want to miss such an opportunity, and I originally planned to take part in next year's Chunwei, but now it's June, I want to go home Going to study for the exam."

Because this year has not yet ended, the new emperor has not changed the reign name. Changwu will use the new reign name next year after it has been extended for this year.

The imperial examinations presided over by the new emperor for the first time are of great significance to the recruits. Now the ministers in the court are all from the former emperor's period. Only the talents who are presided over by the new emperor are the real disciples of his emperor.

This group of people is equivalent to the veterans who accompanied the emperor to start his political career. After many years, almost all of them will occupy high positions. Therefore, in the spring of next year, there will be more candidates taking the exam than before, and the competition will be more intense.

But as long as people with ambitions in their hearts will not let go of such a good opportunity, of course Cheng Yi is no exception.

Wei Xiuya nodded, agreeing with Cheng Yi's thoughts: "The emperor is in need of talents at this time. Brother Cheng is very knowledgeable and will definitely pass high school."

Cheng Yi clasped his hands and said with a smile: "Chenghou Lord's auspicious words, I haven't congratulated you yet, now it's time to call you uncle."

"It's all a false name," Wei Xiuya also laughed, "Brother Cheng is too outrageous."

"Just kidding," Cheng Yi coughed lightly, "I don't believe Brother Wei can tell."

Ling Shu interjected: "Brother Cheng is gone, what about the village school in the village?"

Cheng Yi said seriously: "I came here today to tell you about this matter. I have already asked the village chief to resign and I can no longer teach in the future. I want to ask him to invite another gentleman. If not, then The village school can only be disbanded."

"Please!" Lingshu immediately said, "Of course I will! If the wealthy uncle doesn't want to pay the money, I'll do it. I'll go and talk to him!"

In the past, it was fine if there were no conditions, but now that I have money in hand, the village school must be run, and all school-age children in the village must go to school!For those who have no money to pay the tuition, Lingshu is willing to pay for them first, and it will not be too late.

He doesn't want the children to learn any grades, but at least everyone should know how to read!

"I think so too," Cheng Yi nodded and said, "It's a pity that the village school is disbanded. There is another thing about Chen Jiarong. This child is talented. If he is taught by a good teacher, he will definitely be a famous official in the future. , In this small mountain village, his talent is really buried, if you are willing to train him, you should ask a great Confucian to teach him, but he has to travel far to study, he is still so young, I am afraid that his family will not agree."

Ling Shu glanced at Wei Xiuya.

Since Chen Jiarong came to the village school in the village, it was not the first time that Cheng Yi told them that Jiarong was an excellent child.

As the teacher who taught Chen Jiarong, Cheng Yi was about to leave now, so he was naturally worried about such an excellent student.

Wei Xiuya had promised before that he would take Chen Jiarong to study in the capital, so there was nothing he was unwilling to do. As for his family, there was no problem. The greatest wish of Chen Jiarong's great-grandfather in his life was to watch his grandson pass the exam. Therefore, the Chen family was able to produce a high-ranking official and shine on the lintel.

"This time we're going back to the capital, it's really a good time to take him to study." Wei Xiuya pondered, "Since we're taking him there, we shouldn't favor one person over another. We should take Liangliang with us."

Lingshu got up and said, "I'll call Jiarong and Liangliang over, and my parents, brothers and sisters-in-law to discuss it."

The family is complete, and Lingshu didn't spend much time calling the whole family. He told everyone about it and let them make up their minds.

Chen Jiarong was the first to express his opinion: "Brother Shu, I am willing to go to the capital! My parents must also want me to go, but can you delay a little time before departure and let me go home and say goodbye to them?"

From Yanjia Village to Shuitai Village, it takes half a day to get there by carriage. If you ride a horse, it only takes half a day to go back and forth. This little time can still be delayed.

Ling Shu nodded and said, "Okay, let Brother Wei Jiu take you back on horseback, it will be faster."

"Thank you, Brother Xiaoshu!" Chen Jiarong happily bowed to Lingshu.

Lingshu shook his head with a smile, and couldn't help but say, "You're a little too old, you're only cute if you're lively."

Chen Jiarong is only seven years old!

Sometimes his performance is so mature that people often ignore his age.

Chen Jiarong only smiled embarrassingly, but did not reply.

Lingshu asked again: "What about Liangliang, will you go to school in the capital with us?"

Among the classmates in the village school, Liangliang is not outstanding academically, and looks above average.

It's not that he doesn't work hard, but everyone has different aptitudes, and some things can't be done well without hard work.

Liangliang both wanted to go and didn't want to go.

As for children, there is no one who is not yearning for the bustling capital, but when he thinks of leaving his parents, he feels a little scared in his heart.

After struggling for a long time, Liangliang shook his head, expressing that he would not go.

Yan Dachuan then said: "Forget about Liangliang, our family is good enough now, we don't need Liangliang to be an official, besides, is it so easy to take the exam? If the exam is easy, no one will fail the exam for a lifetime It’s time for him to learn some characters, and he will be able to help the family maintain the business when he grows up in the future.”

Yan Youfu and Chen Guihua had the same idea.

Now that the Yan family has a big tree like Wei Xiuya to enjoy the shade, even if no one in the family is an official, they will not be inferior to others. The Yan family can have such a situation in the past. Greedy, there is no need for Liangliang to take the official examination.

"Everyone agrees," Lingshu said, "Then it's decided like this."

After the matter was settled, Wei Xiuya directly asked Wei Jiu to send Chen Jiarong back now, and the next morning, together with Cheng Yi, the group took several carriages and set off.

As soon as he left the village, Lingshu no longer wanted to maintain his human form, and turned into a chubby fox, clinging to Wei Xiuya's arms all day long.

Cheng Yi separated from them halfway, and after more than half a month, they arrived at the Marquis of Wuwei in Wei Xiuya, the capital.

Chen Jiarong got off the car he was riding in first, and stood quietly in front of the car waiting for Wei Xiuya and Ling Shu. It stands to reason that Chen Jiarong is a country boy, and he has never seen a city as big as Shengjing, let alone a city as big as Shengjing. It's a noble mansion like the Hou Mansion.

But the child only showed a little curiosity when he entered the city, not at all the excitement that Lingshu had when he first arrived in the capital.

Now Chen Jiarong was standing in front of the Hou's Mansion, with a calm expression on his face, as if in his eyes, no matter whether it was the Hou's Mansion or the farmyard, they were all the same.

Wei Xiuya got out of the car with the chubby white fox in his arms, and walked straight towards the opened vermilion gate, telling Chen Jiarong, "Come in."

Chen Jiarong was stunned for a moment, looked at the carriage suspiciously, and asked hesitantly, "Brother Wei, where's Brother Xiaoshu?"

Wei Xiuya: ...

The little thing has been lazy recently, and he doesn't even want to walk by himself, isn't it the one in his arms?

But Wei Xiuya can't tell Chen Jiarong that his little brother is just this fox, can he?

"He has some things to do," Wei Xiuya coughed lightly, and said, "I'll be back when I'm done, don't worry, go to the mansion to take a bath and rest first."

Chen Jiarong tilted his little head, puzzled.

Didn't he see Brother Xiaoshu get off the car?

In the morning they got into the car together, and the carriage he was riding in was following behind. They didn't stop on the way into the city, how did Brother Xiao Shu get out of the car?

Could he still fly out?

Chen Jiarong thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he had to follow Wei Xiuya in first.

He was arranged by Wei Xiuya in the West Wing of the main courtyard. After all, he was young, and it was convenient to take care of him if he lived nearby. Since he brought him here, of course he had to take responsibility.

Besides, in such a big Hou's mansion, there is only one master, Wei Xiuya, and even if there are more Lingshus, there are only two. Originally, the mansion seemed empty, but living together would make it more popular.

Lingshu was very anxious.

The little paws grabbed Wei Xiuya, not letting him leave for a moment.

He must smell Wei Xiuya's breath to be at ease.

After Wei Xiuya carried the little fox into the room, he never had a chance to come out again. The little fox walked up and down on the bed, flicking its tail from time to time. With a vigilant look, he stared at Wei Xiuya closely.

Wei Xiuya had no choice but to ask his servant Haosheng to take care of Chen Jiarong, and he stayed by the little fox's side.

"Baby, what's wrong with you?" Wei Xiuya wanted to hug the little fox, but the little fox wouldn't let him hug him. Wei Xiuya frowned, "Are you tired on the road? You've become a human, so I'll ask my brother-in-law to send you a hug." Is the imperial doctor here to take your pulse?"

The little fox said: "No!"

"Then what's the matter with you? Don't scare me," Wei Xiuya held the little fox's head firmly, looking into his eyes, "you have gained so much weight recently, can't it be I got some serious illness... No, baby, don't treat me like this, I can't live without you."

The little fox turned his head away, and began to walk around restlessly again.

I'm really all right!

Just because our little one is about to be born!

He had a strong feeling that the cubs in his belly couldn't help but want to come out.

As for why he was so restless, it was probably—prenatal anxiety?

It's his first time giving birth to a cub, and he's still a novice father, and he doesn't have experienced elders to take care of him, so he's even more worried about Wei Xiuya's reaction when he finds out the truth. He's super scared now, okay?

No no no, Wei Xiuya will definitely like their little cub!

If he finds it difficult for me to have children as a grown man——

snort!

Accept it or not!

The little fox raised his paw and pushed Wei Xiuya vigorously, letting him lie down. Wei Xiuya was already worried to death at this moment, naturally he would do whatever his baby wanted him to do, even if Lingshu wanted to dig his heart now He is willing to offer it with both hands.

The little fox squatted domineeringly on Wei Xiuya's chest, sticking out his tongue to lick his face, making Wei Xiuya drool all over his face, not to mention, the little fox tore open Xia Tian's thin clothes, and continued to follow his Adam's apple Lick down.

The feeling of the tongue coating on the skin made Wei Xiuya swallow unbearably, unable to laugh or cry: "Little villain, don't torture me..."

Just lick!

its mine!

It's all mine!

The position has been transferred to Wei Xiuya's lower abdomen.

"Enough..." Wei Xiuya gasped.

The little fox stared at the hard object, raised its paw and patted it, Wei Xiuya gasped, and the little fox turned around and slid down from him.

"I want to eat meat!" said the little fox loudly, "I want to eat a lot of meat!"

Wei Xiuya sat up with a wry smile, straightened his clothes, kissed the little fox's forehead helplessly, and ordered someone to bring in the food.

The little fox really ate a lot of meat this meal, and his anxiety eased a little after he was full.

It is said that it takes a lot of energy to give birth, and he doesn't know when he will give birth. Recently, it is better to maintain sufficient physical strength at any time.

After eating, the little fox said to Wei Xiuya: "Look, I can eat so well, I'm fine. If I'm sick, I can't have such a good appetite, right?"

"That's right..." How could Wei Xiuya feel at ease? !

But the little thing refused to change back into a human form, so there was no way to ask a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

"Sleep!" said the little fox, "it's getting dark."

The weather in Shengjingli in June is not too hot at night, and it is comfortable and comfortable to cover with a thin quilt, which can make people sleep well and dream until dawn.

He wants to get a good night's sleep, keep up his energy, and prevent the sudden arrival of the childbirth period.

wait wait wait!

His stomach hurts a bit!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

No!

He should not be seen by Wei Xiuya!

That kind of picture must be ugly!

Woo woo woo, I feel like I'm falling down, it's really about to give birth!

"Get out of bed!" The little fox pricked up his pointed ears and ordered Wei Xiuya, "Pull the curtain! Pull it tightly, I don't want to see you now!"

"What's the matter?" Wei Xiuya frowned, "Why don't you want to see me?"

The little fox raised his voice: "Get down quickly!"

He can't bear it anymore!

Wei Xiuya glanced at the little fox worriedly, got out of bed, and tightened the curtain. The pedestal bed formed an independent and closed space. Wei Xiuya stared at the curtain, wishing he could develop a pair of see-through eyes to see him what the little fox is doing inside.

His hearing was very good, and after a while, Wei Xiuya heard soft whimpers from the curtain.

Wei Xiuya's heart tightened, and he was about to pull the curtain.

"Don't open it!" Lingshu in the tent immediately warned, "If you dare to open the curtain, I will, I will die for you to see!"

Wei Xiuya's hand holding the curtain trembled, his lips were drawn into a line, his heart sank, his other hand clenched into a fist, the veins on the back of his hand were exposed.

Countless thoughts swirled in Wei Xiuya's mind, he couldn't help himself to imagine the scene in the tent, none of the pictures were good, his eyes went black for a while, as if he had encountered the scene where he was about to lose his spirit .

There was another whimper in the curtain.

Soft, heart-rending.

Wei Xiuya gripped the curtain tightly, and as soon as he moved, the Lingshu inside the tent warned him again: "Don't look! Don't come in, just wait a while, just wait a while."

Lingshu's voice sounded a little tired.

Wei Xiuya could only grit his teeth and endure.

Immediately afterwards, there was a licking sound from inside the curtain.

Obviously only a little time had passed, but Wei Xiuya felt as if it had passed for a long time, and when he couldn't wait any longer, Ling Shu finally said again: "Okay, come in."

Wei Xiuya exerted force on his hand, but he couldn't control it, and he tore off the entire bed curtain. As the silk slipped down, a scene appeared before Wei Xiuya's eyes.

The sky blue thin quilt made of brocade was rolled up on the bed, and his favorite little fox was lying gracefully in it, looking at him expectantly with a pair of moist eyes.

And under the little fox's body, there were three smaller fur balls crowded together, only the small ears were exposed, and the ears would tremble slightly occasionally.

"Here are our cubs," said the big fox, "there are three of them!"

Wei Xiuya froze in place.

He was having trouble breathing.

When Lingshu isolated him outside the curtain, he had imagined countless scenes, but he never thought of such a scene.

The big fox nuzzled the three little balls of fluffy under him, and said with joy in his voice, "Look, the pure white one is the oldest one, and the pure black one is the second one. They are both Male, this is the third child, his whole body is white, only the tips of his ears are black, he is a female!"

"There has never been a black fox in our family," Lingshu said, "It must be because of you that the second child is black."

The big fox tilted his head, looked at Wei Xiuya suspiciously, and asked him, "Aren't you going to come and see them?"

Wei Xiuya didn't reply, his hands hidden in his sleeves were shaking.

His, child? !

He was a little, a little, dizzy.

The big fox's tone dropped, and his ears drooped, "Do you not like them?"

"No," Wei Xiuya said with difficulty, a layer of sweat dripped from his forehead, "It's not..."

"Then you don't even come to see them." The big fox said aggrievedly.

"I..." Wei Xiuya opened his mouth, "Wait a minute, my legs are weak."
