When the female patient's health improved and she became increasingly clean and neat, the Tongsheng examination began.
Amu and Chen Dong had already gone to see the examination room. Of course, they couldn't get in, so they just walked around outside.
There are two candidates in the family, and the whole family attaches great importance to it, especially Linlang, who is responsible for the meals. She must make sure that they eat well and have enough food, and pay attention to food hygiene. No mistakes can be made at this time.
The examination hall lasts for three days. The weather is dry in autumn, and it is easy to get a sore throat. There is a big temperature difference between morning, noon and evening. Linlang has prepared various preventive medicine powders for you. When you enter the examination hall, she will break a piece of cake into small pieces for you, for fear that you may hide notes in it.
There was food prepared in the examination room. After paying the money, Linlang didn't prepare any food for the two of them, just two bottles of meat sauce. They were in two jars, so no matter how they stirred it, it wouldn't ruin the delicious taste of the meat sauce.
As for quilts, Linlang prepared sleeping bags for the two of them. There was only one board in the examination room, so a sleeping bag was the most suitable.
Amu was touched by being valued and cherished like this. He went forward and hugged Linlang who was packing his clothes. "Linlang, thank you. You have worked so hard for me."
"I'm your wife, and it's my duty to prepare these for you." Linlang held her hand on her waist. "Don't feel any psychological burden. Relax and let nature take its course."
"good."
Amu was very confident that he could pass the exam this time. "Don't worry, I will definitely be on the list, and I won't be the last one."
"I have confidence in you." Not to mention getting the first place in the exam, there is no doubt that he will be in the top ten. If he is in the last few places, he must be hiding his incompetence.
However, based on what Chen Dong said about Xiao Yushu's situation, he probably wouldn't be in the top ten, so Amu said he wouldn't be the last.
Seeing that he was confident, Linlang was not worried. "Your health is the most important thing. Don't forget the medicine powder I brought you. Also, I specially prepared this kettle for you. It has some heat preservation effect. You can't drink cold water when it's cold."
"Thank you, my lady." Amu wanted to kiss Linlang, and he did so, kissing Linlang on the cheek. "Take good care of yourself and the baby at home."
Caught off guard by a kiss, Linlang blushed, "Did you learn this from Mo'er?"
"No, Mo'er learned it from me. We are husband and wife, and we are the closest people." Amu hugged Linlang, his face was actually blushing and his heart was hot, thinking that he was a man, and should not be shy like a young wife, but should be manly.
Yes, we need to show our strength.
Amu stared at Linlang's bright red lips, and thought of the book he returned to the neighbor. It must be very pleasant to kiss his wife's lips.
He really wanted to kiss her, but he should get Linlang's consent first. "Linlang, I want..."
"Didn't I tell you? Don't think about anything. Just keep calm. No matter how you do in the exam, we will accept it calmly."
Linlang broke free from his hand and said, "Okay, go find Mo'er and play. Relax and stop thinking about all that."
After all, it was Ah Mu's first time taking the imperial examination. Linlang thought he was nervous. "Please pack your clothes yourself. I'll go make dinner."
Amu watched Linlang leave. She must have misunderstood him. He wanted to say that he wanted to kiss her lips. Is that okay?
Alas, I didn’t ask it after all.
Amu began to comfort himself, it doesn't matter, there is a long way to go, he and Linlang still have a long time to go, one day they will kiss each other.
After packing the clothes he needed for tomorrow, Ah Mu went to the kitchen to help Lin Lang light the fire. Mo Er sat beside him obediently and took a deep breath. "The braised chicken is so delicious."
When Rong Bowen came back in the evening, he picked two branches of osmanthus and gave them to Amu and Chen Dong, wishing them success in the exam.
Chen Dong was very touched. No one had ever been so kind to him. Over the years, he had been looked down upon by his brother and sister-in-law for his studies. There was no other way. It was really expensive for poor people to support a scholar. His family relied on the few acres of thin land, and his parents, brother and sister-in-law lived in poverty.
He also wanted to pass the examination to become a scholar this time, so that he and his family could have hope. Even if he failed to pass the examination to become a juren, a scholar could still become a teacher.
The Rong family went to bed early tonight so that the two candidates could go to the examination hall in the best mental state.
Song couldn't sleep, so she called Su Jinyao, "Yao'er, my eyelids are twitching non-stop. I'm afraid something is going to happen."
"Mother is probably worried that someone will do something bad to Amu and the others." No one knows a mother better than her son. Su Jinyao has observed the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for so many years and knows his grandmother too well. She is so quiet, she must be preparing to do something big.
My grandmother always thought that my mother was a naive person who was easily deceived and was not worthy of being the mistress of Marquis Anchang, so she looked down on her mother.
Grandmother sent Aunt Wu to ask Mother to return to Beijing, but Mother ignored her and stayed in the other courtyard. How could Grandmother, always so strong, swallow this insult? She must have a trick up her sleeve.
My mother has my father protecting her, and my grandmother is far away in the capital and can't do anything to her, but she can do anything to the people my mother cares about.
When Nanny Wu came to the villa, she told my mother in words and deeds not to be deceived by outsiders. She had been here for so long and should go back to fulfill her filial duties to the old lady.
This time, Grandma wouldn't embarrass Mother, but she would definitely embarrass Linlang and the others. But they were just ordinary people, surrounded by simple neighbors, and she couldn't harm them.
Now there is a very good opportunity, Amu took the Tongsheng exam.
The old lady still has some connections in the capital, so it's very easy for her to get an Amu. It's just a matter of raising her finger.
"Don't worry, mother. I'll go back and keep an eye on them. If anyone dares to attack them, I won't let him off easily."
Su Jinyao had already met with several invigilators. "My son has already checked out the four invigilators. The chief examiner and two other examiners are students of the old chief priest. The remaining one is from a branch of a prominent family in the capital, and the other one is from a commoner family."
"Then I'll leave this matter to Yao'er. I don't want to ruin the future of several children because of me."
Then she would have committed a serious sin. It is better to be prepared and cautious.
Su Jinyao nodded and asked, "Mother, I secretly asked Rong Yi about this. Linlang is his biological sister. Perhaps she just looks a bit like mother and isn't our little Lisheng?"
"Whether she is or not, in my heart she is my daughter." Song said, "Of course, I will not give up looking for your sister. I believe she will come back sooner or later."
Su Jinyao pulled out the red string from his neck. Hanging from it was a piece of fine mutton-fat jade engraved with his Chinese zodiac sign. "Father gave each of us five siblings a jade pendant. If anyone rescues my sister, the jade pendant on her body will reveal her identity. Why haven't you come looking for us for so many years?"
If something happened to my sister, the jade pendant on her body would definitely be taken away and sold. They went to so many pawnshops and jewelry stores, but none of them could find my sister's jade pendant.
"Mother, my sister must still be alive."
Song's eyes were red. "I thought so too. She must still be alive. The family that adopted her must be kind enough not to pawn her jade pendant for money. Otherwise, we would have found her long ago by following this clue."
There was no special mark on my daughter's body except for the jade pendant. If Linlang had it, it would definitely be revealed after she took off her clothes to soak in the hot spring.
Song hopes that the days will pass quickly so that she can go to the hot springs earlier.
