Chapter 35 My Wife Gave It to Me

There is still half a month left before the provincial examination.

Xiao Mo and Bai Rushue stood at the entrance of the village, both carrying a small bag.

In front of the two of them was the village chief and his family.

"Village chief, are you really not going to give it a try this time?" Xiao Mo asked the village chief.

The village chief is also a scholar, so naturally he can also take part in the provincial examination.

"Forget it." The village chief shook his head. "I'm already fifty years old, so I won't bother going. Even if I go to take the exam, it will just be a waste of travel expenses. I might as well buy Ying'er some nice clothes. Xiao Mo, do your best in the exam. We'll be waiting for your good news."

"It's okay if you don't pass the exam. Look at your village chief, he's taken the exam for decades and never passed. As long as you want to take the exam, you can continue to take it in the future. If you really can't pass, you can open a private school like your village chief and make a living."

Aunt Chen said to Xiao Mo.

Although Aunt Chen is a woman, she also knows that some people may never pass the exam even if they die.

For example, your husband.

"I understand, Aunt Chen. I'm just doing my best." Xiao Mo nodded with a smile.

"It's good that you know. But don't commit suicide if you don't do well in the exam. You still owe my family a lot of dry food."

Aunt Chen gave Xiao Mo a blank look, then pulled Bai Rushue over, as if giving her some instructions, and then handed her a face towel.

Half an incense stick later, Xiao Mo bowed and said goodbye, then got on the carriage.

Bai Ruxue drove the carriage and took Xiao Mo to the provincial capital.

"Did Aunt Chen say anything to you?" Xiao Mo asked as he sat next to Bai Rushue.

"Aunt Chen said that I am too good-looking and there are many playboys in the county town, so I might get into a lot of trouble. So she told me to be careful. When I enter the city, I must wear a veil and never leave it by your side." Bai Ruxue said truthfully.

"Yeah." Xiao Mo nodded.

Aunt Chen’s consideration does make sense.

Now, my status as a scholar is indeed not enough to protect her.

However, if something happens, Bai Ruxue should be fine.

Perhaps Bai Rushue herself didn't know that she was already a cultivator at the Longmen Realm.

If she takes one more step forward, she will form a golden elixir.

Her talent for cultivation is as exaggerated as Jiang Qingyi's.

So it's considered good enough if the average playboy is not swallowed up by her.

only

Xiao Mo glanced at the woman's profile.

Qingyi is decisive in killing and will not let herself suffer any loss.

But as a demon, she is too kind.

This is a good thing and a bad thing.

Six days later, Xiao Mo and Bai Ruxue entered the Jiangnan Prefecture.

"Selling candied haws. Candied haws. Two cents a string."

"Sir, please come in."

"Sir, are you staying overnight or just for a meal?"

"Sir, you haven't been here for a long time. I must have missed you so much."

As soon as you enter the state capital, you can hear the shouts of vendors from all walks of life, and people coming and going on both sides of the street.

There was a scholar in blue shirt.

There is a young master from a wealthy family.

There was a young woman holding a little girl's hand.

Looking at everything in the provincial capital, Bai Rushue's eyes suddenly lit up.

Bai Rushue, who came from the mountains, went to Shiqiao Village at the foot of the mountain the most. She had never even been to Qingshan City, let alone the provincial capital.

After storing the carriage, Xiao Mo took Bai Ruxue to find an inn.

Scholars who participated in the provincial examinations were charged a special price for staying in the inn, which was not too expensive.

After putting down the luggage, Xiao Mo took Bai Rushue and walked on the streets of the state capital, watching the prosperity of the human race.

Bai Ruxue looked here and there.

Everything in the city was very new to the girl.

"Xiao Mo, I want to eat candied haws!" Bai Ruxue's white and tender little hand held Xiao Mo's wrist and shook it.

Xiao Mo gave two cents and bought a candied haws. Bai Rushue lifted her veil slightly and took a bite.

The sweetness that first entered her mouth made the woman's eyes light up.

But after taking a bite, the sourness of the hawthorn made the woman narrow her eyes.

The old man selling candied haws was also stunned.

He had never seen such a beautiful woman.

Bai Rushue walked forward while eating hawthorn, and from time to time she put the candied haws in front of Xiao Mo: "Xiao Mo, you eat too."

Xiao Mo shook his head, indicating that he didn't like eating candied haws.

Bai Ruxue didn't understand, the candied haws were obviously delicious.

"Selling buns, selling buns."

From the other side of the street, Baozi's shouting was heard.

Xiao Mo couldn't help but stop and look towards the bun shop.

"Xiao Mo, do you want to eat buns? Then I'll buy them for you." Bai Ruxue said.

"No." Xiao Mo shook his head, "I just thought of someone."

"Alone?" Bai Ruxue asked curiously.

"It's okay." Xiao Mo smiled and shook his head, then continued walking forward.

Bai Ruxue didn't take it to heart.

When passing by Yunyan Pavilion, Bai Rushue saw those women in cool clothes pulling men into the building, and they seemed to be eager to stick to them.

Bai Ruxue asked curiously, "Xiao Mo, what kind of place is that? Why are these women wearing so little clothing and dragging men in?"

Xiao Mo took a look and explained, "That's a brothel."

"What is a brothel?"

"A brothel is a place where men and women have affairs."

"Male-female affairs? What is that? You are a man and I am a woman, so can we do it?"

“.”

"Xiao Mo, tell me, tell me."

"Don't ask too many questions as a little girl." Xiao Mo tapped Bai Rushue's head gently.

Bai Ruxue rubbed her head, pouted her lips and muttered, "I'm obviously a grown-up girl!"

But Bai Ruxue was not annoyed. She continued to walk forward and took Xiao Mo's wrist: "Xiao Mo."

"What's wrong?"

"If you want to talk to me about anything related to men and women in the future, you should look for me~"

Xiao Mo's brows twitched, not knowing what to say.

For the next few days, Xiao Mo studied in his room in the inn.

Although the streets were bustling, Bai Ruxue felt it was boring without Xiao Mo by her side.

Soon, the provincial examination began.

Xiao Mo is going to take the Imperial Examination.

"The Qi State County Examination will last for three days. During these three days, Miss Bai, please remember not to wander around. Do you understand?"

Before leaving, Xiao Mo gave Bai Rushue some instructions.

"Don't worry, I'm very obedient. Xiao Mo, you have to do your best in the exam. It's okay if you don't do well. Aunt Chen said that only a Wenquxing (literary star) can pass the exam, and you're not one."

"Thank you so much." Xiao Mo tapped Bai Ruxue's head and said, "Let's go."

Xiao Mo turned and entered the Imperial Examination Hall.

A body search was required before entering the tribute hall, and the clerk touched Xiao Mo's body hard.

Xiao Mo felt that he was either serious and responsible, or he was from Sichuan.

"What is this?" The clerk looked at the snake scales on Xiao Mo's chest.

"amulet."

Xiao Mo turned his head and glanced at the girl who was looking out from outside the courtyard.

"My wife gave it to me."
