Chapter 270: Unforgettable Old Love
Recently, he has been extremely careful about his food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The palace even hired an imperial physician to monitor his meals, for fear that someone would do something bad.
The only surprise was that there was something wrong with the bowl of soup Wen Ruyue gave her before she got off the carriage yesterday.
He was on guard against everything, but he didn't expect to be harmed by his own wife.
At this moment, Huo Yaoxing felt regretful.
He shouldn't have married Wen Ruyue just because she was stupid and easy to manipulate.
Compared with the intelligent and calm Wen Yan, Wen Ruyue is as stupid as a clown.
However, it is precisely because she is stupid that she is more suitable to hold the position of the legal wife.
However, if anyone dares to ruin his good deeds, she must be taught a lesson!
So it was planned.
Huo Yaoxing felt severe pain in his abdomen again.
Huo Yaoxing's face twisted, he suddenly clamped his legs together and raised the sign that said "I'm in trouble."
After a while, a patrol officer and two soldiers holding water and fire sticks came over.
The patrol officer recognized Huo Yaoxing and was very polite to him: "What do you want?"
"The candidate has abdominal pain and wants to go to the toilet."
The inspector reminded him, "If you really want to go, you'll have to stamp your exam paper with the stamp of 'exit'."
Although leaving a toilet seal does not affect the score, some examiners are very concerned about it.
They will bring it up during collective voting, affecting other examiners' impression of the candidate.
The patrol officer also had good intentions.
But Huo Yaoxing, who was suffering from unbearable abdominal pain, felt irritated. As his stomach rumbled, he scolded in a low voice: "You are so nagging!"
The patrol officer's expression froze. "I've been too talkative."
He handed a sign for entering and leaving the toilet to Huo Yaoxing, and asked the soldiers to take him to the toilet.
In another area, Ying Zhilin and his classmates were all concentrating on doing their homework.
Just after noon, Ying Zhilin finished the first test paper.
He hung the answer sheet aside, turned around and started making today's lunch.
Add a handful of cooked rice, a handful of bread crumbs, a handful of diced meat, a handful of diced vegetables, and appropriate amount of water, and simmer on the stove over low heat.
After a while, the tempting aroma drifted to other corners of the examination room.
Countless candidates who were writing furiously were attracted by the fragrance.
After a while.
Similar fragrance came from several other rooms.
They were Ying Zhilin's classmates. They had also finished their test papers and started making lunch.
Soon, the entire examination room was filled with grunting sounds.
It was the empty city plan that was playing in the minds of those students.
The double torture of body and mind made them even less interested in answering questions.
Not to mention the examinees, even the guards were drooling with envy.
If it weren't for the strict discipline in the examination room, they would have shamelessly shared a bowl to try.
Similar scenes occurred frequently in the following days.
The other students had already worked hard to answer the questions, and now they were tempted like this. They were so angry that they gnashed their teeth.
Who on earth could make such delicious food in the examination room!
Don't let them catch you, or you'll smash his head off!
While Ying Zhilin and the others were busy taking exams, Wen Yan was not idle either.
The people that Madam Bai had come to see were not ordinary palace maids or nannies, but two female officials who had retired from the palace.
One is surnamed Yin and the other is surnamed Rong.
The two were good friends in the palace, and they didn't want to separate after leaving the palace.
The two men stood with straight backs, dignified demeanor, and exuded a sense of aura.
The two of them have taken good care of themselves and look to be in their early thirties, but they are actually in their forties.
Wen Yan's meeting etiquette is very standard.
Mrs. Bai invited them to have tea and chat together, which was considered a preliminary double selection.
The two female officials had a good first impression of Wen Yan, and then they got down to business.
Wen Yan wants to hire someone to teach the etiquette of the "cleansing lady" and some emergency response strategies.
It is tentatively planned to hire them for one year with a monthly salary of fifty taels.
Retired female officials from the palace are sought after no matter where they are placed.
Wen Yan wanted to keep the two of them forever.
It’s a pity that her current temple is too small to keep them.
Madam Bai continued, "Please bear with it for a year and help my adopted daughter.
One year from now, I'll ask you two to return to the Meng family and keep an eye on my naughty daughter."
When mentioning Meng Chifei, Yin and Rong both showed doting smiles.
On that day, Wen Yan took the two back to the backyard of the new shop and asked them to train the "clean-faced lady".
The provincial examination consisted of three sessions, and five days passed in a flash.
Wen Yan rented five carriages in advance and waited outside the Imperial Examination Hall.
Wen Ruyue is here too.
This time she learned her lesson and didn't dare to go up to Wen Yan to get scolded.
The two men stood on their sides and ignored each other.
After waiting for half an hour, the door of the Imperial Examination Hall slowly opened.
The candidates came out one by one.
Some staggered, while two or three people supported each other as they walked out.
There are only a handful of people who are high-spirited and energetic.
soon.
Students from Wutong Academy appeared one after another, and they all looked like they had been drained of their energy.
His body still exuded the sour smell of someone who hadn't taken a shower for a long time.
"Hurry up and get in the car. There are seven people in one car. Once the number is enough, we will go back to the house.
Food and hot water are ready in the house."
"Thank you, brother-in-law/sister-in-law, for preparing the medicine pills. You helped us a lot this time." The weather was hot and they all showed signs of heatstroke.
Fortunately, thanks to the Qingxin Pills prepared by Wen Yan, they did not suffer from any serious illness and were able to focus on answering the questions.
Wen Yan waved her hand: "Go quickly."
This was the scene that Ying Zhilin saw when he came out of the Imperial Examination Hall.
His eyes rolled around, and his originally straight back suddenly softened and collapsed.
His clothes were wrinkled, his hair was disheveled, and his bright eyes were half closed, making him go from being energetic to weak in an instant.
He walked towards Wen Yan with heavy steps.
Wen Yan quickly stepped forward to support him: "Are you okay?"
Ying Zhilin struggled, trying to stand on his own.
Instead, he staggered even more, as if he could fall down at any moment.
Wen Yan grabbed his arm tightly: "It's already late, don't bother saving face. Come on, I'll help you get on the carriage."
Ying Zhilin nodded: "Thank you, my lady."
Wen Yan helped Ying Zhilin sit on the carriage and told Pei'er to watch over him while she sent Ying Zhilin back first.
Huo Yaoxing looked at the carriage slowly driving away and his face turned very ugly.
Wen Yan was very considerate towards her good-for-nothing husband.
She really isn't picky at all.
What's so good about that man?
The family was extremely poor and even having food was a challenge.
He was not good at studying either, and he had never even heard of this person's name.
He also looks like a male prostitute in a brothel.
Even with such a piece of shit, Wen Yan actually served him with a fawning look on his face.
Huo Yaoxing felt uncomfortable all over, as if he had been dragged down to a lower level by these two people.
It's really despicable.
"Brother Yaoxing, what are you looking at?" Wen Ruyue's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
Huo Yaoxing turned around and looked at her.
His face was expressionless, and his deep eyes revealed no true emotions.
Wen Ruyue pouted and said coquettishly, "You are looking at Wen Yan, right?
Do you think she feels uncomfortable being with Ying Zhilin?
Do you still have feelings for her?
If you like him, why did you marry me in the first place? "
