Chapter 269: Exam, abdominal pain
Every year, a few people are caught bringing cheat sheets outside the examination hall.
The short time outside the examination room is the most dangerous time.
The entrance to the Imperial Examination Hall was packed with people. In addition to the families who were sending their children to take the exam, there were also ordinary people who came to join in the fun.
People are living next to each other, and if you are not careful, someone will slip you cheat sheets.
The murderer hasn't been found yet.
Everyone checked carefully.
In addition to the exam basket, clothes and shoes were also taken away.
At this moment, a gorgeous carriage drove towards the gate of the tribute hall.
"Be careful!" Suddenly, Ying Zhilin pulled Wen Yan hard.
Wen Yan staggered into Ying Zhilin's arms, and he was also pulled back.
After the two of them stood firmly, Ying Zhilin still held her in his arms and protected her.
Wen Yan turned around and saw a familiar carriage parked where she had just stood.
The carriage curtain was lifted, revealing Huo Yaoxing's angular face.
Someone on the side of the road screamed excitedly: "Look, it's Master Huo."
"Master Huo is indeed handsome and knowledgeable."
"Master Huo, look here..."
Huo Yaoxing lowered the curtain expressionlessly.
Others might think he was aloof, but Wen Yan could tell at a glance that he was angry.
But it's none of her business.
She gave Ying Zhilin a few words of advice, and then urged him to verify his identity and enter the examination room first.
In the Huo family carriage.
Wen Ruyue came with Huo Yaoxing.
Huo Yaoxing was about to get off the carriage when he was suddenly stopped by Wen Ruyue.
Huo Yaoxing turned around and looked at her: "What's wrong?"
"I have prepared something good for my husband." Wen Ruyue took out a food box from the box and shook it as if offering a treasure.
"This is the lucky soup I prepared specially for my husband. It is slow-cooked with pigeon and precious medicinal herbs.
In order to make it, I started working on it last night and didn't even sleep well.
If you don’t believe me, just look at my dark circles, they’re almost reaching my chest.”
Wen Ruyue's coquettish look made her fill a bowl of soup for Huo Yaoxing in no time, and passed it to him with a raised finger: "So, Brother Yaoxing, you must drink up all the soup!"
Huo Yaoxing sniffed the soup with a strong medicinal smell, and impatience flashed in his eyes: "I'm not thirsty or hungry now, so I won't drink this soup."
"How can that be? This is my sincere gift. Brother Yaoxing, can you bear to let me down?" Wen Ruyue's coquettish voice made Huo Yaoxing twitch his brows.
Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he grabbed the bowl, drank two sips casually, and then stuffed the bowl back to Wen Ruyue.
"Hey... why did you only drink so little!" Wen Ruyue pouted and snorted. Huo Yaoxing had already lifted the curtain and got off the carriage.
Wen Ruyue quickly put down the bowl and chased after him.
It’s a pity that Huo Yaoxing is tall and has long legs, so he passed the first level quickly.
Wen Ruyue couldn't catch up, so she waved at him and shouted, "Husband, come on! You are the top scorer of this year!"
Huo Yaoxing stumbled and walked away even faster.
Others looked at Wen Ruyue curiously, saying, "So she's the wife of Master Huo! She's so pretty."
"She has a good temperament too. She deserves to be the Crown Prince's wife."
Wen Ruyue gradually raised her neck amid the discussions.
When she turned around, she saw Wen Yan. She walked over and said, "Hey, isn't this my good sister Wen Yan? Why are you here?"
Oh, your scholar husband is also going to take the imperial examination, isn't he?
"So what? What does it have to do with you? You're such a meddlesome person!" Wen Yan gave her a blank look and turned to leave.
Wen Ruyue walked around to the front and blocked her way. "Hey, my dear sister, don't be in such a hurry to leave! Why don't you wait here for a while? Maybe, it won't be long before your poor husband is carried out from inside."
It was like this in the previous life.
Ying Zhilin only stayed there for one night.
Shortly after receiving the test questions the next day, he fainted in the cell due to abdominal pain and was eventually carried out by soldiers.
After this incident.
His already frail body deteriorated day by day, and he eventually died.
Fortunately, it’s not me who is marrying him in this life.
“And my brother Yaoxing will definitely win the first place in this year’s Jieyuan. Even the Huiyuan and Zhuangyuan next year will be in his pocket.
And you…” She still remembered the test questions, so she just needed to tell Brother Yaoxing in advance.
Let him prepare early. It will be as easy as taking something out of a bag for the little champion.
Wen Ruyue leaned forward and looked at Wen Yan mockingly, "And your husband, let alone becoming the top scholar or the first place winner, I'm afraid he won't even be able to pass the imperial examination." Not only will he fail the exam, he will also be a short-lived ghost. In three or four years, he will go to the underworld and reunite with his short-lived parents.
As for Wen Yan.
Ying Zhilin is a eunuch, Wen Yan has no children, and Songshan Village cannot accommodate her. She has no choice but to return to the Wen family and let herself be controlled by him.
Wen Yan has now become a vicious dog in a poor alley.
"Wen Yan, it's not too late for you to start currying favor with me from now on. As long as you can make me happy, it's not impossible for the prince to give him an official position in the future."
Ying Zhixue and Ying Zhihai hate to hear Ruyue say bad things about her brother the most.
In the past, she resorted to despicable means to marry her elder brother, but now when she found a better option, she abandoned her elder brother without hesitation.
Wen Ruyue is a bad woman.
The brother and sister wished they could stare a hole through Wen Ruyue.
"Noisy!"
Wen Yan was too lazy to listen to her croaking and asked directly with a smile: "Eldest sister is so concerned about my husband's future. Could it be that you still have feelings for him?"
Wen Ruyue's expression suddenly changed: "What did you say? Who cares about that poor scholar?"
"In that case, why are you so concerned about someone else's husband?
Did you find the spices you were looking for?
Have you washed the ink off your face?"
Wen Yan asked three questions in a row.
Wen Ruyue was so angry that her eyes widened and her cheeks flushed red, but because of the thick makeup, no one could see the change in her expression.
She touched her cheeks, which were heavily powdered. She didn't know what the little bitch had added to the ink, but it still hadn't been washed off after so many days.
Seeing that she was humiliated, Wen Yan took Ying Zhixue and her brother away.
The next day, at the hour of Yin.
Wen Yan stood in front of the window with his clothes on, listening to the sound of cannons coming from the direction of the Imperial Examination Hall.
This year's provincial examination has officially begun.
The first test was on the meaning of scriptures. After reading the questions, some candidates frowned, some were in deep thought, and some continued to sleep.
Huo Yaoxing, looking tired, let out a sigh of relief, and his heart finally settled down.
The imperial examination questions in this period remain unchanged!
In his previous life, his articles that won him the title of Jieyuan were circulated and appreciated in the literary circle.
So much so that he could recite the article backwards.
The answer comes to mind.
He didn't even have to think deeply, he just picked up the pen and started writing.
As he was writing, he suddenly felt a cramp in his abdomen.
Huo Yaoxing's face twisted.
Here we go again!
Not long after entering the examination room yesterday, Huo Yaoxing started having abdominal pain.
He was glad that it was before the exam started, and even if he went to Maosi, he would not be stamped on the test paper.
After a night of tossing and turning, he took the pills he brought with him. He thought he could take the exam with peace of mind today, but he didn't expect that his stomach was still restless.
