Chapter 65 I'm not afraid when I hear your voice

"Yes, many people here are like this. There are also girls who work outside and share a house." Su Jinshi explained, "Here, girls are much less restricted. They can work outside and do not have to stay at home to take care of their husbands and children. They can go out to play, do not need to cover their faces when they go out, and can work with men."

"This is the same idea promoted by Queen Yuan Zhen. I didn't expect that your world would actually come true." Shen Shilang was surprised and relieved. "Are you still afraid now?"

Su Jinshi was stunned for a moment, and while chatting with Shen Shilang, he unknowingly forgot to be afraid.

"I'm not afraid when I hear your voice," Su Jinshi wrote.

"Then I'll chat with you." Shen Shilang thought about it and said, "How about I read a storybook to you?"

Su Jinshi glanced at the sky outside the window and said, "Aren't you sleepy?"

"He's completely awake." Although Shen Shilang paid attention to the number of times Xu Liangchuan went to the toilet, he fell asleep after watching for a while. It was relatively early to go to bed.

I was just woken up by Xu Liangchuan's scream. Because it was cold at night, I woke up quickly.

"Do you have a storybook?" Su Jinshi asked curiously. She had never seen Shen Shilang read a storybook.

"Really not." Shen Shilang asked, "You don't have it?"

He felt that Su Jinshi's place was like a treasure bag, as if it contained everything.

But Su Jinshi didn't have it either.

"No problem. How about I read the Analects to you?" Shen Shilang said, "When we get to the capital, I'll go to the bookstore and look for some storybooks you like. I'll buy them for you to read."

"Okay." Listening to Shen Shilang reading the Analects was like hypnosis.

So Su Jinshi lay down and moved to a comfortable position, closed his eyes and listened to Shen Shilang reading.

Shen Shilang's gentle whisper rang in her ears, as if he was right beside her, making the boring "Analects of Confucius" sound beautiful.

Shen Shilang's voice completely replaced the horrible nursery rhyme that had been echoing in her mind.

Su Jinshi didn't know when he fell asleep.

Shen Shilang kept reciting and didn't feel Su Jinshi's reaction, so he tried to call her, "Jinshi?"

After calling a few times, there was no response, so I knew that Su Jinshi must have fallen asleep.

Shen Shilang smiled slightly, then closed his clothes and closed his eyes for a while.

Then I got up and started packing.

He went downstairs for breakfast, and just as the breakfast was served, he felt something poking the back of his hand.

Shen Shilang was surprised, "Jinshi?"

Su Jinshi poked the back of Shen Shilang's hand twice.

This is the tacit understanding between the two of them.

When Su Jinshi was unable to transmit the message, two clicks represented an affirmative answer.

Shen Shilang whispered: "Why did you get up so early?"

Seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, Su Jinshi wrote on the table: "I'm used to having breakfast with you."

With just these few words, Shen Shilang suddenly felt warmed.

At this time, I heard the candidates at the next table discussing.

"I heard Xu Liangchuan is sick."

"Yes, he suddenly developed a high fever, and the waiter went to get a doctor."

"I heard that he had diarrhea at night and went to the toilet several times."

"I had a stomach upset and felt exhausted all over. I also thought I had seen a ghost and my spirit collapsed! I also caught a cold at night and now I have a high fever. It's really a sudden rush of things. Xu Liangchuan is so unlucky."

"I don't know what happened in Jinzhou. I heard that Shi Minglei, the most talented scholar in Jinzhou, was expected to win the first prize. His knowledge was much higher than Xu Liangchuan's. But on the day before the provincial examination, he suddenly had a stomachache and fainted like Xu Liangchuan. This affected the provincial examination, so Xu Liangchuan won the first place."

When Su Jinshi heard this, he guessed, "Could it be that Shi Minglei was also drugged by Xu Liangchuan? Otherwise, it would be too much of a coincidence."

"It is indeed possible." Shen Shilang nodded.

Because I succeeded once, I wanted to use the same method to deal with him.

But he ended up suffering the consequences.

Given Xu Liangchuan's current condition, even if he had recovered physically before the imperial examination, it would probably take him a while to recover mentally.

After all, Xu Liangchuan is now convinced that he has seen a ghost.

If things go wrong, you might be worried every night and unable to sleep.

But Shen Shilang was too lazy to care about this.

Shen Shilang would not sympathize with a villain who schemes against others and destroys their future by any means necessary.

[System: Successfully prevented Xu Liangchuan from framing Shen Shilang, experience +100,000]

But Su Jinshi found out with regret that even though he gained a lot of experience this time, his level still remained at lv15. He still needed 19,000 experience points to reach lv16.

If you want to reach level 20 and then upgrade the mall to buy an intermediate voice transmission box, it is really a long way to go.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

After checking out of the hotel, Shen Shilang drove his donkey cart to the capital.

Finally, before sunset that day, they entered the city gate of the capital.

It was also the first time that Su Jinshi witnessed the real prosperity of an ancient capital.

Along the River During the Qingming Festival really does not deceive me.

It was not easy to find an inn in the capital at this time, as most of them were fully booked.

After inquiring about several houses, Shen Shilang went straight to find a real estate agent, which was the Daxi version of a real estate agency, and planned to rent a house directly.

Anyway, it's just him, so it doesn't need to be too big, just big enough for him to live in.

When I am assigned a position in the future, if I am an official in Beijing and not sent abroad, at least I will have a fixed residence.

But before finding a house, Shen Shilang still had to stay in an inn for a few days.

Fortunately, most of the candidates who came to Beijing to take the imperial examinations planned to stay in the inn first, and few people had the same idea as Shen Shilang.

Therefore, the house is relatively easy to find.

Because of limited money, the broker found him a house in an alley.

The house is not big, and the neighbors are separated by only a wall, so if you speak loudly, the neighbors can easily hear you.

The yard is small but practical, with a compact layout inside, including a toilet, a kitchen and a bedroom.

The toilet is in a separate place, and the bedroom is connected to a small hall.

The location is quite far from the palace, and it takes half an hour to walk there.

But the price is right.

The money Shen Shilang saved was just enough to rent this house.

After signing the lease and paying the rent, Shen Shilang moved in.

Shen Shilang spent the whole day reviewing his lessons while also taking time to clean the house.

In the following time, Shen Shilang waited for the examination with peace of mind.

Before the imperial examination, Guixuan Pavilion in the capital was a gathering place for literati and famous talents.

People here discussed scriptures and debated doctrines, criticized current social ills, and expressed their thoughts generously. Most of them did so to gain fame, attract the attention of the court, and increase their chances of ranking in the metropolitan and palace examinations.

If you become famous in the capital, you can also attract the attention of some nobles, who will take you as a retainer or disciple for support.

The talented scholars in the capital also heard that the top scorer in the provincial examination had arrived in the capital, so they sent him an invitation to invite him to Guixuan Pavilion to participate in a poetry meeting that would be held in Guixuan Pavilion in a few days.
