Chapter 2138 One Fried Dough Stick and Two Eggs
However, this incident has indeed clarified the rumors that Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu had a child out of wedlock.
Meng Yunzheng's name left an indelible impression on the ministers.
Shu Yu quickly learned what had happened in the court. The next day, she and Shu You visited the Yao family and happened to run into Yao Tianqin returning from court. She told them about the incident.
The Yao family was quite confused and advised Shuyu to go back and have a good talk with Meng Yunzheng, so that this wouldn't affect her exams. They told her to stay home and prepare for the exams for the next few days and not see anyone.
Shu Yu didn't know if Meng Yunzheng was affected, but as the exam date drew closer, she herself began to get nervous.
The day before the imperial examination, Shu Yu brought Meng Yunzheng into the examination room and checked the examination basket again and again.
On the day of the imperial examination, he got up before dawn.
She didn't know why, but she just couldn't fall asleep. The sky outside was still overcast. Shu Yu lay in bed for a while, but she really didn't want to sleep anymore, so she got dressed and went out.
Since she had nothing else to do, she decided to go to the kitchen and make breakfast.
Shu Yu hadn't accompanied Meng Yunzheng during his previous exams; they always met to celebrate after the exams.
This was the first time I'd prepared breakfast for him before his exam.
Shu Yu didn't know what to prepare. She was completely ignorant of these rules, so she just made some food casually, the most important thing being that she could eat her fill.
She was busy in the kitchen by herself and didn't ask Yingxi for help.
By the time the fire was lit, it was just beginning to get light.
Meng Yunzheng didn't know when he got up. He leaned against the door and watched her busy figure, feeling incredibly warm inside.
Shu Yu turned around and met his smiling eyes. She immediately said, "You're up? Go wash up quickly, let's finish breakfast and go to the examination hall."
"Okay." Meng Yunzheng smiled and turned to fetch water.
When he returned to the flower hall after rinsing his mouth and washing his face, he saw on the table... a fried dough stick and two eggs?
Even though Meng Yunzheng considered himself well-read, he didn't understand why the plates were arranged that way.
Shu Yu placed a bowl of porridge on the table for him and said, "This porridge is quite thick. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you to drink porridge that is too thin." After all, it's not convenient to go to the toilet often while taking the exam in the examination hall.
But it can't be completely dry either, or it will make you choke.
Why are you still standing? Sit down.
Meng Yunzheng sat down in the chair and looked at her. "Is there any significance to these fried dough sticks and eggs?"
Shu Yu, "..."
She touched her nose and gave a dry laugh. "It doesn't mean anything. I just made it for you on a whim."
Shu Yu didn't know what students should eat for exams these days, or what the customs were. She only remembered that in her previous life, when she had her final exams in elementary school, her parents would prepare fried dough sticks and eggs for her, arranging them to resemble a hundred marks.
During the college entrance examination, many people wear cheongsams to symbolize a successful start.
Shu Yu was busy in the kitchen for a long time, and when she finally took out the fried dough sticks and eggs, she realized that there was no such thing as a perfect score these days.
Since everything is ready, let's eat it.
Meng Yunzheng didn't ask any more questions and actually ate the fried dough sticks and eggs obediently, and also finished the porridge.
The porridge was so thick it was almost as thick as rice; he felt quite full after eating it.
After he finished eating, Zhao Xicai arrived late, yawning, "You guys are here so early."
"It's getting late, the gates of the examination hall will be open soon." Shu Yu gave him a disgruntled look. "We're leaving in a quarter of an hour. If you want to go, you'd better hurry up and eat."
