Playing number games is not difficult for Chen Heng, a science student. As long as she gets the hang of it, she can apply what she has learned to other situations.
In order to use the candlelight, Chen Heng and Xie Jian sat at the same table. Just as she was sighing that these accounts were no longer difficult for her, she looked up and saw Xie Jian looking at her.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm going to take the exam tomorrow, and you don't seem worried at all. Aren't you afraid that I might fail?"
"Children's words are careless and will be blown away by the wind." Chen Heng spat three times: "Don't keep saying unlucky things, you will be fine." She still wanted to follow him to the imperial city.
Now she was acting like a wife. Xie Jian lowered his head and continued reading: "Of course I have no problem. If only one person from Nanqi passes the imperial examination, it will definitely be me."
Chen Heng: "..." Then why are you asking her? "It's getting late, go to bed early. Resting before the exam is very important."
Xie Jian hummed lightly.
The imperial examination in the Da Cong Dynasty lasted for nine days, and eating, drinking, defecating and urinating were all done in the designated quarters of the Imperial Examination Hall.
Chen Heng stood at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall with the Meng family, watching Xie Jian and Meng Xuanlang go in. She smiled happily. These nine days should be the most comfortable days for her.
"Wu Xizi, aren't you going to take part in the imperial examination?" Qing Bo asked Wu Jin who was standing beside him.
"No need. If I want to be an official, I can just tell the people at the Sino-Agricultural Temple." Many of the imperial court's ingredients were promoted by the Wu family. Wu Jin said with a smile, "Or I can donate some money to get an official position." Seeing that Madam Shen and Qing Bo were staring at him in amazement, he added, "Studying is too hard. It's a waste of time for me. It would be better to save the extra time to study recipes."
Uh, Shen Heng nodded. People with confidence always speak with reason.
Seeing that Madam Shen did not get on the carriage to return to Meng's house, the maid Mei'er hurried to catch up: "Madam Shen, where are you going?"
"I'm going to the shop to work, you don't have to follow me." Since morning, Mei'er has been serving her and Xie Jian, allowing her to truly enjoy the life of a rich lady.
Mei'er's every move was taught very well by the Meng family. Such a well-behaved manner made it impossible for Shen Heng to relax. She had to be very polite when eating, drinking and talking, for fear that she would not be able to keep up with Mei'er's service.
"Yes." Mei'er bowed and watched Madam Shen leave.
In the following days, Chen Heng went out early and came back late, going back and forth between the two places.
After dinner, Mei'er helped him wash up personally.
Mei'er would even ask her every day what she wanted to eat tonight and tomorrow morning, and she would prepare whatever she said the next day.
That night, Shen Heng suddenly felt greedy: "Mei'er, have you ever heard of lobster?"
Mei'er thought for a moment and said, "No. I'll go ask Uncle Qing tomorrow."
"No, I was just saying it casually." It was too embarrassing to ask for anything when living in someone else's house. Besides, there were definitely no imported lobsters here, but Chen Heng remembered that there were native lobsters in her homeland, just not by that name, and she couldn't remember what it was called at the moment.
I want to eat lobster. It tastes good even if it is steamed. Dip it in mustard. Wow, it’s delicious.
In fact, there was no lobster, not even any chili peppers.
Speaking of this, Chen Heng felt that she could grow peppers, but she didn't go to an agricultural university, had never worked in the fields, and was about to move to the imperial city. Forget it, it's a waste of time. It's better to focus on business and not think about it.
Be pragmatic in life.
She is still just an apprentice in business.
