Chapter 276 Examination

"Yuwen Mu, I will come back with you to stay for a while every month. But your house is too bare. I need to have someone plant more flowers, plants and trees in your house."

"good."

Yuwen Mu actually didn't care where he would live in the future. This house was awarded to him by the emperor after he became the commander of the Imperial City Division. The house remained the same as it was when he was awarded. In the past, home was a place to sleep at night. Having a room and a bed was enough for him.

But things will be different from now on. Home is not just a house, it contains the people he loves.

"I say to the bride and groom, we have something to talk about in the bridal chamber tonight. Let's hurry up, or we will miss the auspicious time."

Yuwen Mu and Lu Shuyan were dressed in wedding dresses, riding side by side in the front, while the others followed behind on horses or in carriages. Shen Yuan was riding Nian Gao, and when Nian Gao saw Xie Hui's Xuan Feng, he wanted to move closer, and Shen Yuan did not pull the reins, but just followed it.

Shen Yuan replied, "Our Nian Gao really likes your Xuan Feng."

Xie replied: "We are a family."

Shen Yuan blinked and said, "We are one family, but they are not. But how old is your Xuanfeng this year? Isn't he a little too old for rice cakes?"

Xie Hui paused, then told Shen Yuan: "Not a match."

"Why?"

Xie Hui saw the curiosity in Shen Yuan's eyes, so he could only whisper, "Because Xuan Feng... was expelled a long time ago."

“Hahahahahahaha!”

Shen Yuan wondered who was smiling so impolitely, and turned around in surprise, "Uncle! When did you come?"

"I came here just when I said we were not a good match. Oh, Nian Gao is so pretty. It's Xuan Feng who is unlucky. We will find a more handsome stallion in the future."

Nian Gao never understood and moved closer to Xuan Feng. Xuan Feng, on the other hand, looked rather disgusted and walked to the side in an effort to stay away from Nian Gao.

Si Nanbo's mansion was packed with people today, and Si Nanbo was beaming with joy. The guests who came with him all boasted about how capable his daughter was.

"I'm not thinking about my son now."

"Who said our daughter is so capable? Let alone those two bastards, if you look outside, you will find that there are not many young masters as capable as our daughter."

Lu Shuyan knew best what kind of person her father was. As long as he could make a profit, he didn't care about any sons or daughters. He only cared about himself.

Today's wedding ceremony was very simple. After the ceremony, they returned to the house. Yuwen Mu even asked Lu Shuyan, "Don't we need to entertain the guests?"

Lu Shuyan shook her head. "My father loves doing this the most. Let him entertain them. Otherwise, he has nothing to do anyway."

Yuwen Mu nodded stiffly, sitting in Lu Shuyan's room, and he felt like he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet. Lu Shuyan stood up and poured a glass of wine for each of them.

"Wedding cup of wine."

After drinking the wedding wine, Lu Shuyan asked Yuwen Mu again: "What did you read last night?" Lu Shuyan leaned over and took out a book from under the pillow, "My mother said that your parents are gone, and I guess no one prepared this for you, so she asked me to read it and show it to you."

Lu Shuyan threw the book at Yuwen Mu, then quickly stood up and said, "I'm going to wash up first, you take your time reading." Even when she was sitting in the bathtub, Lu Shuyan still felt her face getting hot. She and Yuwen Mu had not been together for long, yet they were so intimate, which made her feel a little embarrassed. However, her mother said that this matter was also very important to the relationship between husband and wife.

Lu Shuyan took a deep breath and told herself: Lu Shuyan, remember, no matter what you do, you must do your best!

Yuwen Mu actually guessed what was in the book. Although no one at home told him about it, he had been in the army and the Imperial City Bureau for many years. Even if he didn't like to hear those things, he had heard a lot of them. However, Lu Shuyan asked him to read the book, so he still called it and read it carefully from the first page...

At night, the red candles by the window were almost burned out, and Lu Shuyan asked in a hoarse voice: "Aren't you tired? Is that enough?"

Yuwen Mu hugged the person in his arms tighter, "This is only the fifth page."

…

While the family was having dinner, Shen Yun told her daughter, "The date for the exam has been set. It's March 21st. How are you preparing?"

"Why ask? Of course there is no problem."

"Okay, then Dad will wait for your good news."

——Dali Temple Restaurant

"Mr. Shen, I heard that your daughter is going to take the exam at our Dali Temple. How come you didn't tell us about such an important matter? We only found out about it today after seeing the list."

"Just give it a try. We don't know what the result will be. It won't be too late to talk about it if it works."

"Hey! Mr. Shen, you are too modest." Tao Sizhi said, "I have seen your daughter's ability. How can such a talent not come to the Dali Temple! In my opinion, such a talent does not need to take any exams, and can directly enter the job without taking any exams!"

Shen Yun, as a father, was very happy when someone praised his daughter, but he had to be humble and modest. "Master Tao, thank you for the award. The last painting was mostly a result of luck."

March 21st arrived quickly. Shen Yuan got up early, ate two red eggs, and then went to the Dali Temple with her father. As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw Xie Hui standing at the door of their house.

Shen Yun got on the carriage first, leaving space for the two to talk.

"I'm here to wish Manman good luck on her exams."

Shen Yuan said confidently: "Don't worry, Manman will go out and take them all down."

The examination questions of the Dali Temple are very characteristic of the Dali Temple. In addition to the Dazhao Law, the most tested subjects are real-life cases. The basic situation of the case and a large number of complicated clues are given, and the candidates are required to select which clues are the most important to solve the case.

The questions were not difficult for Shen Yuan. She had often heard her father talk about this when they were having dinner together at home. There were more than a dozen people taking the exam with her today, but not all of them were taking the same official position, so everyone's test paper was different.

Shen Yuan handed in the test paper, said goodbye to her father and went home. Although the result of this test would not be known for several days, Shen Yuan was not worried.

"You're back? How do you feel?"

Shen Yuan smiled at his sister-in-law and said, "It feels good, no problem."

"Sister-in-law guessed it. By the way, my grandmother sent me a letter this morning, saying it was for all of us, so I thought I should wait until father and your brother come back tonight before opening it."

"It's okay. Let's wait and see. We can tell them in the evening. Grandma has been in Yanzhou for some time. She may be coming back soon, so she wrote to them."

Shen Yuan opened the envelope as he spoke, and stood up after reading just two lines.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Yuan excitedly handed the letter to He Ying, "Sister-in-law, look! Grandma said my sister is pregnant!"

Shen Yuan didn't hear what was said afterwards. She only heard her grandmother say that her elder sister was pregnant, so she decided not to return to the capital for the time being.
