Chapter 284: Disdain for the Wife
The moon rises above the willows.
Huo Yaoxing arrived late.
Wen Ruyue sat by the window waiting for him.
Seeing him enter the yard, she immediately flew into his arms like a happy butterfly: "Husband, you kept me waiting for so long."
Wen Ruyue hooked his belt coquettishly and led him into the house, "Husband, I have prepared something good for you."
In order to wait for him to come, Wen Ruyue took a shower, put on makeup, and changed into his favorite clothes.
The semi-transparent gauze shirt makes her delicate figure even more attractive.
There was no emotion in Huo Yaoxing's eyes, instead he frowned.
He concealed the impatience in his eyes and followed her into the warm room.
After the two of them sat down, Wen Ruyue lingered on him like a boneless dodder, flirting with him for a long time.
Huo Yaoxing remained unmoved.
He was as fierce as a wolf in his previous life, so why is he so cold in this life?
Is it possible that only an affair can stimulate him?
Wen Ruyue curled her lips unwillingly, put away her magical powers, and took out the test questions she had written in advance: "Here, this is what I prepared for you."
Huo Yaoxing read through it quickly, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion: "What is this...?"
"Next year's examination questions."
Huo Yaoxing's eyes widened in surprise: "How could you..."
Wen Ruyue raised her chin and snorted proudly, "I can predict the future. Didn't I prove it to you a long time ago?"
“If you know the test questions in advance, you can prepare in advance.
Next year's top scorer will be none other than you."
Wen Ruyue regrets it very much now.
In her previous life, she should have memorized Qi Yunzhou's answers.
Huo Yaoxing only needed to memorize Qi Yunzhou's article and didn't need to prepare for the exam anymore.
Huo Yaoxing held Wen Ruyue's hand, his eyes full of tenderness: "Madam, it is my honor to marry you."
Wen Ruyue smiled charmingly, took his hand and pressed it on her abdomen, "Husband, mother has been urging us to have a child...
As she said that, she kissed him.
The next morning.
Chief Ying and his entourage set out to return to the village.
Wen Yan and Ying Zhilin saw him off.
Ying Zhilin greeted the villagers.
Wen Yan and Clan Leader Ying were talking on the side.
She handed a purse to Chief Ying and said, "Zhilin will be attending the Luming Feast tonight, and we should continue to maintain relationships with our peers tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
It will take four or five days for me to get back, and then I'll have to trouble you to take care of the buffet.
There are fifty taels of silver in it. Part of it will be used to thank the villagers who helped today, and the rest will be used to prepare a buffet.
Don’t think about saving money.”
Clan leader Ying hadn't expected Wen Yan to trust him so much. He responded with an "Aiya" and assured him, "Don't worry. Zhilin can only become the top scholar once in his life, and I will make sure it goes well."
Sent the villagers away.
Wen Yanshun sent Ying Zhilin back to his residence in a carriage.
Ying Zhilin lowered his head and coughed lightly: "I will keep a record of the money."
Wen Yan waved her hand nonchalantly: "You are being too formal, aren't you? We are partners and should help each other.
If you become an official someday, I will be able to gain many benefits and conveniences."
Wen Yan calculated everything clearly.
Ying Zhilin felt as if an arrow had hit his heart.
Soon, they returned to the door of the house.
A scholar in Confucian robes stood outside the door.
The carriage stopped, and the scholar turned around. Seeing the couple, he bowed and asked, "Brother, are you Ying Zhilin?"
"It's me." Ying Zhilin returned the greeting. "Who are you?"
The scholar said, "My name is Qi Yunzhou, and I am also a candidate for this provincial examination. I came here today to ask for a favor."
When Wen Yan heard his name, her eyes lit up.
Qi Yunzhou!
Next year’s top scorer.
This person has a good character. Not only is he outstanding in knowledge, but he is also a first-class governance expert.
In his previous life, Wen Yan had heard a lot about his achievements.
He is a good official who is thoughtful and dedicated to serving the people.
It is said that he came from an ordinary scholarly family, but since the imperial examination, he has always been above Huo Yaoxing.
No matter how hard Huo Yaoxing tried, Qi Yunzhou was better than him and had more outstanding political achievements.
"It's Brother Qi," the two of them exchanged a few polite words. The more they talked, the more they felt that the other person was very compatible with their own temperament, and it felt like they had met too late.
"I wonder what brings you here this time?" Ying Zhilin noticed that Wen Yan glanced at him from time to time, so he forced himself to end the topic.
Qi Yunzhou blushed and scratched his head, "To be honest, I have a special body and cannot stand mosquito bites. Not only will it itch unbearably, but it will also cause redness, swelling and allergies.
During this year's exam, thanks to the insect repellent incense lit by your classmate, most of the mosquitoes were driven away, so I suffered less torture.
That's why I, Qi, had the audacity to come to your house today and ask Brother Ying where to buy the insect repellent powder."
"Those things were prepared for me by my wife," Ying Zhilin looked at Wen Yan, "so you have to ask my wife."
"Those are herbs I mixed myself. They are not available on the market," said Wen Yan.
"This..." Qi Yunzhou immediately looked embarrassed.
If it is something she made herself, it would be inconvenient to ask for it.
He thought about it and asked Wen Yan to buy it.
Wen Yan said in embarrassment: "This medicine powder is very troublesome to make. I'm afraid I can't make it for you, but I can sell you the prescription."
"Please give me a price, ma'am."
Wen Yan rolled his eyes and said, "No need for money, just bring two calligraphy works in exchange."
Qi Yunzhou's handwriting is very good.
The next year, he became the top scorer in the imperial examination and became famous overnight. His calligraphy and paintings were worth a fortune in the capital.
It shouldn't be too much to ask him for two pieces of calligraphy now!
Qi Yunzhou didn't expect Wen Yan to make this request.
He was stunned for a moment, then agreed readily.
And buy two get one free.
Wen Yan also readily wrote a prescription for him.
"Brother Ying, see you at the Luming Banquet tonight." Qi Yunzhou took the prescription and left briskly.
Wen Yan looked at his back and shook her head with a smile.
In his previous life, he ranked low in the provincial examination and must have suffered from mosquitoes.
The weather was still cold during the next year's examination, and there were no mosquitoes to bother him, so he won the first place and the top prize in succession.
This time, the ranking has moved up, probably due to the effect of the insect repellent powder...
She was thinking.
Suddenly, everything blurred before my eyes.
She raised her head and saw Ying Zhilin standing in front of her, blocking her view.
Wen Yan was curious: "What's wrong? Do you have anything else to do?"
"Do you have anything else to do? Do you want to sit in the yard for a while?" Is the guy named Qi so good-looking?
His face is not as delicate as mine.
He is thinner than me.
Why was Wen Yan staring at him so intently?
"No, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Wen Yan shook his head and turned to get on the carriage.
Ying Zhilin watched the carriage disappear from his sight, then he turned around, pushed open the gate, and walked in.
Song Qu and several of his classmates stood in a row in the yard, with their arms crossed, staring at him.
Ying Zhilin was startled: "What are you doing?"
Song Qu walked up to him, grabbed his neck, and asked interrogatively, "The provincial examination is over, why are you still living here?"
"You kid, you can't be disgusted with your wife just because you passed the imperial examination!"
