Chapter 344
Yunxi walked around the streets for a long time and bought everything on Duan Huaichuan's list. Then she took it to Rongxi Hall for Zheng to see.
Zheng Shi was originally reluctant to let Yunxi, such a young girl, handle such a big matter. She was just thinking about how to tell her to take the things to someone else to see before giving them to Duan Huaichuan. Unexpectedly, Yunxi brought the things directly.
"I am too young and have never done such a thing before, so to be on the safe side, I would like to ask Madam to take a look and see if there is anything wrong with it?"
Madam Zheng immediately smiled and said, "Alright, I'll come and take a look."
The things that Shen Rang had prepared for the imperial examinations were personally prepared by Madam Zheng. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and Madam Zheng quickly checked them and looked at Yun Xi with a mixture of surprise and admiration.
These things were prepared very well, from writing brushes and ink to bedding, and even a pair of knee pads were provided. Even Zheng could not find anything wrong with them.
I never expected that Yunxi, despite her young age, would be so capable in handling things.
That's fine too.
Madam Zheng nodded and said, "The things are well prepared. We'll send them over to Scholar Duan in a bit."
Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the matter wasn't ruined.
Madam Zheng turned around and sat down again, saying, "The imperial examinations are in a few days. Xi'er, I was thinking you might want to personally pick her up and drop her off?"
Yunxi was taken aback: "Madam, isn't this... inappropriate?"
“Since you have already prepared all these things for Duan Jieyuan so meticulously, then you should naturally go all the way,” Madam Zheng said with a smile. “You have to make the right gesture to show the sincerity of our Marquis’s mansion.”
Yunxi pursed her lips.
Are you worried about Zirong?
Yunxi nodded.
These past few days, Shen Rang has been treating her with an inexplicable strangeness that makes her feel vaguely uneasy.
I wonder if Shen Rang has already discovered something.
“It’s always good to be cautious,” said Madam Zheng. “But Xi’er, you are doing this for our Marquis’s mansion. Don’t worry, even if Zi Rong finds out, he won’t be able to say anything. Just do your job with peace of mind. But before this matter is settled, it’s best not to let Zi Rong know.”
Seeing that Madam Zheng's attitude was so firm, Yunxi knew that she had no choice but to agree: "Yes."
After leaving Rongxi Hall, Yunxi went to the guest house and delivered the things to Duan Huaichuan.
Duan Huaichuan's gaze lingered on the pile of things for only a moment before landing on Yun Xi: "Have you been out all day? Are you tired?"
Yunxi shook her head: "I went by carriage, so I'm not tired. Brother Huaichuan, please check if there's anything wrong with these things. There are still a few days until the imperial examination. If it's not okay, I'll go buy more."
“The things you bought are all excellent,” Duan Huaichuan said softly. “Sit down and rest for a while.”
"No," Yunxi said, "The young master should be back soon, I have to go back."
When she mentioned Shen Rang, Duan Huaichuan's eyes dimmed imperceptibly for a moment.
Even though he knew Yunxi was in a hurry to leave, Duan Huaichuan still asked, "Is the young master... good to you?"
"OK."
“…That’s good,” Duan Huaichuan nodded slightly. “Go ahead.”
Yunxi turned around and took a few steps, then stopped.
She turned around and saw that Duan Huaichuan was still looking at her.
"Is there anything else?"
“Brother Huaichuan will be taking the exam in a few days. I’ll come and see you off.”
After Yunxi finished speaking, Duan Huaichuan's eyes lit up slightly, like a sky full of stars.
"good."
Duan Huaichuan's voice was very soft, as if he dared not disturb the beautiful dream in front of him.
Yunxi then turned and left, never looking back.
Duan Huaichuan turned around and looked at the things Yunxi had bought for him, a smile spreading across his eyes.
——
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and the day of the start of the spring imperial examination arrived.
Upon waking up early, Chen Rang saw Yunxi sitting at her dressing table doing her makeup and raised an eyebrow: "Going out?"
"......Um."
