As the days passed, the Autumn Examination was getting closer, and Duke Anguo brought a lot of books from the An Mansion for Zhao Yiming to read.
As a result, he went to bed later and later. One night, it was too hot and Tian An couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so he got up and went outside to get some cool breeze.
As a result, I walked to the outside of his yard and found that the lights were still on inside.
At this time, there were only two hours left until dawn.
Tian An felt a little sorry for Zhao Yiming, but he also knew that this was something he had to go through if he wanted to succeed.
But on the second day, she asked the kitchen to prepare the nutritious lunch she had prepared overnight, and then asked the servant to deliver it to Zhao Yiming, Xiaokang and Xiaoqi.
If you can't help them with their studies, then you can take good care of them in their daily lives. Studying is stressful, so it's always a good idea to take good care of your health.
At the end of July, Tian An received the first batch of roasted cocoa beans sent by Xiao Chen. The quantity was not large, only about 500 kilograms.
The guy wanted Tian An to make chocolate for him right away.
Tian An thought about it and told him about making chocolate-filled mooncakes.
"Can this be made into mooncakes? Will it taste good?"
Seeing Tian An nod, he immediately agreed, but on the condition that Tian An must leave a few boxes for him.
Tian An agreed readily. This batch of cocoa beans was not large in quantity, and the mooncakes made were limited. They had to be given away to relatives and friends around him, so there were not many left to sell.
However, this material is rare and the cost is quite high. The price will definitely not be low, and there will not be many people willing to spend money to buy it.
The first day of August is when the Autumn Examination begins.
Because the students were about to take exams, the emperor specially gave his ministers a day off so that they could send their children to the examination hall.
Tian Mingwu was either busy with official duties or planting trees in Taohua Mountain all day long. It was not until the emperor gave the ministers a special holiday that he learned that Zhao Yiming was going to take the exam.
He didn't even go to Taohua Mountain that day. As soon as he finished his work, he rode his horse home.
After coming back, he went straight to Zhao Yiming's yard.
The exam was the next day, and today Zhao Yiming came home early, which was rare.
After meeting him, Tian Mingwu wanted him to do well in the exam! But he was also afraid of putting pressure on him and wanted him to relax! Tian An still had to rely on him for the rest of his life.
Finally, he opened and closed his mouth hesitantly for a long time before he managed to utter: "Just do your best."
Zhao Yiming bowed to him without hesitation and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will definitely be on the list."
......
That night, Tian An took the cocoa beans he had just acquired and planned to work overnight to make a box of chocolates for Zhao Yiming.
Then at dawn, put it in the exam preparation basket.
The basket he needed for the exam was prepared by Tian An himself. After the things were ready, he put them into the basket in front of him.
I’m afraid he won’t be able to find something and waste time.
With the experience of taking the exam for the scholar, Tian An was able to prepare things with ease this time.
All necessary things were prepared, but not redundant, and were everything Zhao Yiming might need in the examination room.
In the kitchen, after the cooks cleaned up the kitchen, Tian An asked them to go back and rest.
He planned to send Zhao Yiming to the examination hall and then start to lead people to make Mid-Autumn Festival mooncake gift boxes.
By then, these cooks will be very busy, so let them take this opportunity to take some rest and recharge their energy.
Chunxi was just about to take a break when she heard that Tian An was still busy in the kitchen with Xiangtao and Deng Xue. She quickly put on her coat and rushed to the kitchen with Mangzhong.
Seeing them coming, Tian An knew that the two girls must have known that she was still in the kitchen and came to help, so he smiled and ordered the two of them over.
The two sisters were the first maids to follow Tian An. They were both careful, quiet and hardworking.
If the family's wealth had not grown, and if they hadn't bought more and more maids and servants, maybe they would still be eating at the same table together now!
There are more people in the family now, and the rules are becoming more strict. Everyone has a lot of things to do on weekdays, but even though they see each other less often, the two little maids are not at all unfamiliar with her.
The skilled ones took over the work from Tian An and started working. They also understood Tian An's instructions tacitly and understood what she meant after a little thought.
With their participation, the chocolate is made faster.
This time, Tian An made a total of eleven boxes of chocolates. Except for the box made for Zhao Yiming, the rest were made by Chunxi, Mangzhong, Deng Xue, and Xiangtao.
Tian An subconsciously remembered what Zhao Yiming said, that she shouldn't make chocolates for anyone other than him, so she really didn't even touch the other boxes of chocolates.
Several people worked until late at night before they finally finished the work.
Tian An returned to the room with the chocolate he was going to give to Zhao Yiming, set an alarm for himself, quickly took a nap for an hour and a half, and then got out of bed rubbing his eyes.
She went to the bathroom and washed her face with cold water. After she woke up, she took out a small table lamp from the space and placed it on the dressing table, and began to put on makeup.
It is mainly used to cover up the dark circles under the eyes.
Only when a young girl full of energy appeared in the mirror did she start choosing clothes with satisfaction.
When she first became her godmother, Mrs. An would send her clothes from time to time for various reasons.
Later, after she got to know Mrs. An, there was one more person who was keen to give her clothes and dresses.
An Rong knew that she had too many clothes to wear, so she looked for other ways. She would often make shoes and socks for her by herself, and when she saw suitable jewelry when going out, she would subconsciously keep it.
When I had collected enough, I put them all in a box and sent it to her.
Of course, they didn't show partiality, and Xiaokang, Xiaoqi, and even Zhao Yiming were all included. Sometimes, they would even take care of Tian Caihe and her four siblings.
When Tian An opened the wardrobe, he immediately fell in love with a skirt with a pattern of red plum blossoms.
Today is Zhao Yiming's lucky day, so he should wear something festive.
After putting on her ruqun, she originally wanted to fix her hair bun, but unfortunately, after spending a long time, her hair became tangled. She had no choice but to accept the reality of her clumsy hands.
Although she has been wearing this hairstyle for several years, she still can't create a good-looking local bun on her own.
In the past, she could just tie her hair into a bun because she was young, had short hair, and lived in the village.
But since coming to Beijing, this no longer works. Hairstyle is one's face. Not to mention just tying a bun, if there is even the slightest inappropriateness, one will become the target of public ridicule.
As she got older, her hair had grown to her waist without her realizing it. Even combing her hair with her backhand, not to mention combing it into a bun, made her hands feel sore they were about to break.
Hearing footsteps outside the door, Tian An quickly put the Typhoon into the space and then lit two more candles.
It was Xiang Tao who came in. Seeing that Tian An had already changed her clothes and put on makeup, she hurried over to help her comb her hair without saying a word.
