Liu Yaozhen couldn't help but feel happy. "It seems that the medicine that Third Sister sent last time has taken effect. The medicine is almost finished. Third Sister, do you think we should change the prescription?"
"Just follow the original recipe." Yu Jiao said this, and Liu Yaozhen agreed. Cui Mubai looked at her with a smile, his eyes gentle.
The servant came over and invited Cui Mubai to have dinner in the front hall. Cui Mubai stood up and greeted Madam Liu before following the servant to the front yard.
Yu Jiao thought that last time on Zhixiang Street, she might have really made a mistake and mistook the back of someone else for Cui Mubai. A gentleman as upright and polite as the Second Young Master Cui would not go to a place like that in South City.
"Third sister, has your brother-in-law's health...really improved? When can I get pregnant?" As soon as Cui Mubai left, Liu Yaozhen stopped being shy and asked with great concern.
Yu Jiao comforted her gently, "Brother-in-law's health has indeed improved. I didn't lie to you. As for when you can get pregnant, it depends on fate. My words don't count. Follow the prescription from last time. After taking it for another month, you can have sex."
Liu Yaozhen pursed her lips shyly and just nodded, too embarrassed to say anything else.
"There is an ingredient in my brother-in-law's prescription, Cistanche deserticola, which may be difficult to find. You may need to ask around in the Beijing pharmacy." Yu Jiao reminded, "Cistanche deserticola is a medicinal herb produced in Mobei. If you can't buy it in the Beijing pharmacy, you can ask a familiar merchant to bring it back from Mobei."
Liu Yaozhen smiled and said, "I heard from Yaoyu that the box of Cistanche deserticola you sent was originally given to you by someone else. To be honest, I haven't thanked you properly yet."
"I'm just making the best use of it. It's too late to thank me, elder sister." Yu Jiao waved her hand and said.
Madam Liu took over the conversation, "Are you talking about Cistanche deserticola? It's very common in Pingliang Prefecture. If you can't buy it in Kyoto, write to your uncle and ask him to buy some in Pingliang Prefecture and send it over."
Yu Jiao nodded, "Yes, it is also called Cistanche deserticola."
Madam Liu invited Yu Jiao to have dinner with her. While eating, she thought about the imperial examination which would be held tomorrow, so she asked Yu Qizhe if he was going to the Imperial Examination Hall today and whether Yu Jiao had prepared anything for him.
Yu Jiao's heart choked, and she whispered, "I asked Jianjia to give Fifth Brother a pair of knee pads."
Mrs. Liu smiled and praised her for being thoughtful, saying that even at such a young age she knew how to care about others.
Yu Jiao smiled and said nothing else.
Madam Liu then said, "When the results are announced, go give some candies and silver coins to Yu Wu Ge'er, so that the messengers and onlookers can share in the joy. He is alone in the capital, so there may be no one to take care of these things."
Yu Jiao nodded.
"Your father is the chief examiner of this year's exam. You will know whether your fifth brother Yu will pass the exam when he comes back from the Imperial Examination Hall. You can't just sit and wait for the results to be announced." Mrs. Liu reminded Yu Jiao deliberately with a smile on her face.
Yu Jiao smiled and didn't intend to ask Liu Yu. She wished Yu Qizhe a bright future, but it had nothing to do with her anymore.
Perhaps because she heard people mention the imperial examination again and again, Yu Jiao felt a little uneasy during the three days of the Spring Examination. She kept thinking about this matter from time to time and couldn't calm down. She simply went to Lianxi Temple to listen to Master Miaochang talk about Buddhism and burn incense.
This stick of incense was burned for Yu Qizhe, and she hoped that he could get what he wished for.
After burning incense, Yu Jiao was about to go down the mountain, but unfortunately she met Cheng Ying again.
When she saw the ebony carriage, Yu Jiao subconsciously wanted to dodge it, but there was no escape outside the mountain gate, so she could only watch the carriage stop in front of her.
