Shu Yu rested her chin on her right hand, turned her head, and asked with a smile, "Do you remember what she looked like now?"
"You're quite observant of her."
Shu Yu sighed, "That's right, I need to see if I'm prettier than her, otherwise I'll feel inferior."
Do you feel inferior?
Everyone else at the table lowered their heads; there was no one more confident than you.
Meng Yunzheng grasped her left hand, which was resting on the table, and smiled, "No one is more beautiful than you."
Little Huo Huo, with his chubby little hands holding a wooden spoon, jumped on his dad's lap and exclaimed, "Beautiful!"
"Ouch..." Zhao Xi's thigh hurt terribly. This little fat brat is really getting more and more of a pain in the neck.
Shu Yu finally couldn't help but laugh. She looked at Meng Yunzheng and said, "You said it yourself. If you ever say that someone else is prettier than me, then you'll be sorry."
Zhao Xi rubbed his thigh and curled his lip. "They really don't take us seriously, do they? Flirting in broad daylight, shameless."
Shu Yu stopped teasing him and told Meng Yunzheng the truth, "Actually, I made a deal with her. Don't worry, I didn't lose out. It's a win-win situation for both of us."
"That's good. Is the shop available now?"
"Young Madam Zhou asked me to give her three days to sell the cosmetics and face powder in the shop at a low price. After three days, she asked me to vacate the shop so I could renovate it," Shu Yu said. "Now I need to find a suitable craftsman, but I don't know which craftsman has good skills."
Meng Yunzheng raised an eyebrow, "Why don't you ask Lord Yao?"
"Huh?" Shu Yu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly slapped her forehead. "Oh right, how could I forget Uncle Yao?"
Yao Tianqin was the Vice Minister of Works. Although he couldn't actually do the work, he certainly knew the people in the industry best. The Ministry of Works was always the first to know which skilled craftsmen were in the capital.
Ask Uncle Yao to introduce her to someone. It doesn't require much skill; all she needs is to be diligent and reliable.
"I'll go to the Yao family tomorrow to ask Uncle Yao."
"good."
Meng Yunzheng chatted with everyone for a while, but didn't stay long. Shu Yu and the others urged him to go back to his room to rest quite early.
He rarely gets to lie down on his big bed at home and get a good night's sleep, but he still needs to conserve his energy for tomorrow's second exam.
Shu Yu took this opportunity to replenish his exam basket. Thinking of Xun Sheng's appearance when he left the exam hall, she asked Zhao Xi to add a few more kinds of medicine to it, just in case.
Zhao Xi sighed helplessly, "I've prepared everything I need. I've given him all the common cold and cough medicine, and he doesn't need anything else."
"Who said that? Didn't you say before that there were a lot of weeds near the exam site? What if a poisonous snake jumps out and bites him? Get him an antidote pill."
Zhao Xi looked at her incredulously, "Ayu, has your brilliant brain run away from home? Look at what month it is, feel the weather. Even venomous snakes are hibernating, why would they come out to bite people?"
Shu Yu, “…” Right, I forgot it’s not the autumn examination now.
She heard that during the autumn imperial examinations, a candidate was bitten by a poisonous snake and died from the poison.
That's what she thought, but she still insisted, "Even if there are no poisonous snakes, there will be poisonous insects or ants, so let's prepare them first."
Okay, okay, whatever you say.
Although A-Yun already had antidote pills on her, Zhao Xi still gave her another one at Shu Yu's request.
Therefore, when Meng Yunzheng entered the examination room for the second time the next day, he clearly felt that the examination basket was heavier.
