With her words, Xiao Hechuan was satisfied. He now felt that his whole heart was filled to the brim and there was no room for anything else.
Seeing how inseparable the young couple was, everyone in the Xiao family covered their mouths and laughed.
In fact, there is nothing much to tell him. There is no need to worry about anything Hechuan does, especially when it comes to studying.
In the end, only Mr. Zhong Yun gave him a few instructions, and Xiao Hechuan listened patiently.
Compared to other candidates who were surrounded by their families, Luo Ming seemed very lonely. No one came to see him off and he was alone.
Although he is the legitimate son of the Luo family, after he became the son-in-law of the Ye family, the Luo family no longer valued him, especially after they had a illegitimate son. On such an important day as today, no one came to ask him a question.
Sometimes, the cold weather is not as cold as the heart. The sun is shining brightly on a September day, and the temperature is still a little high. The hot weather cannot warm his cold heart.
However, he will definitely work hard to obtain a title and prove his worth. Then, everything that belongs to him will return to him on its own.
The examination room was opened. Xiao Hechuan, Qi Xiuyuan and Lu Yao entered the examination room together. They would not be able to see each other for the next nine days. The results of their hard work in the past few years would depend on this time.
After seeing off the candidates, the parents left one after another. Soon the yard in front of the examination hall became deserted again. The governor sent several waves of troops to patrol and guard the area to avoid any accidents on such an important day.
…
The days when Xiao Hechuan was not around passed particularly slowly. Jiang Sui thought about him every day, wanting to know whether he was having a comfortable time in the examination room, which was generally quite difficult.
The environment inside will not be very good, because this imperial examination not only tests people's knowledge, but also their perseverance and ability to withstand pressure.
It is said that the environment in the examination room is very cramped, which is also a kind of invisible pressure.
The test questions were the same as in his previous life, so Xiao Hechuan handled them very easily, and his answers were even more perfect than in his previous life.
He didn't feel any pressure. During the nine days, he ate and slept as needed. Among so many candidates in the examination room, he was the most relaxed one. He was not nervous at all, as if he was on vacation.
However, he was very depressed because he couldn't take a shower for nine days in a row.
When I came out of the examination room, Jiang Sui was waiting there early as agreed.
There were many people coming to pick up the candidates, and everyone had anticipation on their face, wanting to know how their children performed.
The only people who came to pick him up were Xiao's father, Xiao's mother, and Jiang Sui.
In the crowd, the two saw each other at a glance, and Jiang Sui waved at him.
When Xiao Hechuan walked down the stairs, Jiang Sui ran towards him, holding up her skirt and opening her arms to hug him.
Xiao Hechuan gently tapped her forehead to stop him:
"Be good, I smell. Can you hug me when we get back?"
He hadn't bathed for nine days and his body smelled bad.
But Jiang Sui shook his head and said:
"I don't mind, I just want to hug you now!" she said, hugging his waist regardless.
Well, there is a bit of smell, but it's not a big problem.
Xiao Hechuan smiled helplessly and raised his hand to hug her back.
On the other side, Qi Xiuyuan also hugged his wife. Only Lu Yao looked around and then pursed his lips.
No, he would go back and ask his father to find a marriage for him. Now everyone is paired up and he is alone. He is not willing to accept this.
"How did you do in the exam?" Xiao's father walked up to him and asked.
"Don't worry, father. My son has performed well. We just need to wait for the results to be announced in a month."
With his words, Xiao's father felt relieved.
Well, the Xiao family has been peasants for generations, but now they finally have a hope of becoming a scholarly family. A hundred years later, he can give an account to his ancestors.
The most urgent task is to let Xiao Hechuan go back and have a good rest. He is really exhausted after being in the examination room for nine days.
Luo Ming was the last one to walk out of the examination room. He looked at the sunlight above his head, which was a bit dazzling. If nothing unexpected happened this time, it should be no problem for him to pass the examination. The only thing he was not sure was whether he could be in the top ten.
Ye Congwen came to pick him up. He didn't want to come at first, but Yanzhi was now very sick and kept calling Luo Ming's name in her sleep.
Ever since I tried to do that to her but failed and got hurt, Yanzhi has been very defensive against me. She has lost her appetite, lost a lot of weight, and now she is simply sick.
If we continue to be stopped from meeting, I'm afraid that person will die.
Luo Ming was taken directly to the courtyard by Ye Congwen. Both of them were silent on the way and did not say a word.
Now, they are rivals in love, rivals with a difference in age of almost twenty years.
Ye Congwen missed his deceased wife and always had expectations for Yanzhi, but she was extremely resistant to him and he couldn't bear to see her become depressed.
When Luo Ming saw that it was the road leading to the courtyard, his numb face showed some expression. He didn't know how long he hadn't seen Yanzhi. How could he not miss her?
After getting off the carriage, he walked towards the courtyard without stopping. Ye Congwen did not follow him in, but asked for the carriage to go back home.
Anyway, Yanzhi looked so sickly now, and he didn’t believe that Luo Ming could do anything to her under such circumstances.
When Luo Ming saw Yanzhi, she was leaning on the bed drinking medicine. The whole room was filled with the smell of medicine. Yanzhi had lost a lot of weight, and her little face was pale.
He felt a sharp pain in his heart at that moment.
"rouge……"
Hearing the long-lost voice of her lover, Yanzhi was dazed for a moment. She looked up at him, thinking she was dreaming.
The moment she saw him, tears of grievance immediately came to her eyes.
Luo Ming had just come out of the examination room, with a lot of stubble on his chin, but he didn't have time to care about his image now. He just wanted to hug the person he thought about day and night.
The servants tactfully withdrew, leaving the space to the two of them.
This rare time of reunion should be cherished. This star-crossed pair of mandarin ducks expressed their longing for each other.
Yanzhi did not tell him about Ye Congwen's attack on her. Telling him such a thing would only add to his troubles and sorrows and would not change anything.
"Luo Lang, did you perform well in this autumn exam?"
She now only hopes that Luo Ming can become successful and free herself from Ye Congwen's control as soon as possible.
"It should be no problem for me to pass the exam, but I don't know whether I can be in the top ten. I will have to wait for the results to be announced in a month."
It would be better to be a juren, as he would be more respected after becoming one. If he could not get the qualification for the spring examination, he would have to wait for another three years. Anyway, he was still young. Many people spent half their lives on this path, but how many of them could succeed in one try?
According to Ye Congwen's promise to himself, as long as he passed the imperial examination, he would be able to come to see Yanzhi without any obstacles in the future. As a teacher, he couldn't go back on his word, right?
