It's actually a lady

Shuang Zhizhi even had trained with his uncles before. But with Zhuang Kang's abilities being much better. So he didn't realize he was being followed. Shuang Zhizhi walked for a while and came across his mother's carriage with the master's people already sitting on it.

 As for Jian Yuan's bodyguard, when they saw Shuang Zhizhi walking from afar carrying things, they hurriedly got off the carriage and walked towards him. Jian Yuan and Shuang Zihua also got off the carriage. She had been anxious for a long time. She didn't know why her son had come out so late. Until his teacher questioned the graduates who had come out earlier. So she continued to sit and wait until now.

 Shuang Zhizhi handed the items to Master's men and thanked him. When he saw Mother walking hurriedly, he was afraid that she would fall, so he hurriedly walked towards her.

" Mother, walk slowly. Be careful. You might fall. It's already dark. " Shuang Zhizhi hurriedly protested loudly to his hurried mother.

 Zhuang Kang looked over and saw Shuang Zihua. He recognized her in the blink of an eye. It really was her, and the child called her Mother as well. The more he thought, the more confused he became. Did he really have a child with her? And who was the man walking behind her? Zhuang Kang saw Jian Yuan following Shuang Zhihua towards Shuang Zhizhi and became suspicious again. If she already has a new family What will he do? Fortunately, the idea His isn't true. When he heard Shuang Zhizhi bow to Jian Yuan and call him Master.

 Zhuang Kang didn't dare to show himself to her right now. He had to send someone to find out about her before he could think about what to do next. Zhuang Kang signaled the guards to follow and report to him later. Then when he saw them getting into the carriage, Zhuang Kang quickly fled to return to his own mansion.

 On the carriage, Shuangzihua continued to prepare tea and snacks for his son as usual. She saw that it was already late and she probably wouldn't be able to cook in time. She therefore asked Jian Yuan's men to stop by the inn to buy some food first. This time, it was still Shuang Zhizhi who went down to buy food himself. Last time, he tried several things and saw that the taste was not bad. Even though he likes food made by his mother more, it's nice to be able to eat food made by other people every once in a while.

 By the time the ordered food was finished being packed into boxes, it took nearly three kilograms. They were lucky that it was already past dinner time. So there aren't many customers. Jian Yuan's bodyguard also helped Shuang Zhizhi carry several boxes of food onto the carriage together. Then he slowly drove the horse back to Zhuangzi, not in a hurry. For fear that the food in the box will spill. So he didn't dare to hurry.

 Zhuang Kang's bodyguards also followed them at a distance. He could tell that the charioteer also had the same martial skills as him. Only he might More skilled than not, having been on the battlefield with the Prince for a long time. Including having to protect the prince from enemy men many times. As a result, over the years their skills have developed so much that compared to before they were not dusty at all.

 By the time they reached Zhuangzi, the sky was already so dark that they could hardly see the way. Jian Yuan, who had anticipated this, had ordered his men to buy lanterns and hang them around the carriages earlier. Therefore making the journey not very difficult.

 When entering Zhuangzi Shuang Zihua and Shuang Zhizhi also helped to set the table and wait for his teacher and the guards who had brought the carriage to collect. The atmosphere is full of joy. Now that Shuang Zhizhi had actually ranked first in the exam, he was only waiting for the exam in front of the emperor. They would then know whether Shuang Zhizhi would become Zhuang Yuan or another rank.

 Everyone, no one put pressure on Shuang Zhizhi about the exam at all. Shuang Zhihua also told him about the days and times during which Shuang Zhizhi took the exam and what she did for him as usual. As for Jian Yuan, he was waiting to accept what he had told the teacher about the exam. It was considered that Shuang Zhizhi truly understood the essence of the books he had been given to read and study just by listening to all of these answers. He was not at all surprised that his student would rank first as expected. Tomorrow he will return to tell Father and Elder the good news. He wanted to know the day of the examination in front of the emperor. His father and elder will have the opportunity to participate. Did you watch the exam or not? Even if he wanted to go in, it would probably be impossible. He knows this very well. Therefore, he better leave his hopes to Father and Elder instead.

 After finishing the meal Shuang Zhizhi helped his mother wash the dishes as usual. He felt that the exam this time was not as tiring as the first time. This may be because most of the tests asked more about concepts than in the first round, which asked about general knowledge that covered a lot of content.

 Shuang Zihua also asked her son what he wanted to eat tomorrow. She would entrust Master's men to buy and make them to eat. Shuang Zhizhi thought about the desserts made by his mother. So he begged her a little. This made Shuang Zihua, whose son begged for the first time since he began taking the civil service exam, quite happy. She hugged her son and kissed him on the cheek, wanting to bully him. After he grows up She no longer kissed her son's once chubby cheek. Now he was taller than her and quite a bit thinner. As a result, she hasn't had much opportunity to show the closeness between mother and daughter in the past several years.

 Shuang Zhizhi was also a little embarrassed by his mother. He knew how much she loved him. But ever since he learned the rules, he didn't dare show too much closeness to his mother. Even though he liked it when his mother hugged and kissed him like this. But he was afraid that others would criticize him for not respecting the rules. So he could only hold back. Until today, his mother, who never cared about any rules, came close to him. He realized that he was still very young. If Mother would show him a little love, no one would dare criticize him.

 By the time the mother and daughter finished teasing and washing the dishes, it was already late. She hurriedly sent her son to rest. Tomorrow she will wake up early and let Master's bodyguard go to the market for her. She would prepare lots of food and snacks for them in return for everyone being tired today.

 Zhuang Kang's bodyguard saw that the people in Zhuangzi were all resting. He hurried back to the general's residence and reported everything he had seen without any glitches. As for the history of Shuang Zihua He would have to ask for time to investigate first. Right now, there were only four of them at Zhuangzi. He couldn't find anyone he could inquire with right now.

 Zhuang Kang himself didn't think much of it. Now that she has returned to the capital. He would try asking Tai Fu's eldest son, whom he had befriended, later. No one in the court knew that they were friends. With both their positions Therefore, the less people know about this matter, the better. However, now that he knew that his son was Tai Fu's second son's disciple, other matters were not difficult for him to inquire about.
