Chapter 110 He Must Not Slack Off
Nine days passed quickly. Before Chen Heng could feel the joy of being single, the time had passed in a flash.
The weather is hot and I start to sweat after taking a few steps.
As Shen Heng dressed and left the garden, she saw Wu Jin hurried by with muddy feet. Seeing her, he smiled and said, "Madam Shen, wait a moment, I'll go with you to pick up Ajian and Xuanlang."
"Wu Jin, what are you doing?" Although they were from the same Meng family, they rarely met each other. It seemed that Wu Jin was even busier than her.
"I've taken the fertile fields outside Mengjia's house and looked at what kind of wine would be best brewed with the grains from Yuzhou."
"Do you have to do this yourself?"
"Our ancestors taught us that as long as our descendants make wine, they must understand the habits of the millet. Going to the fields is a must."
Watching Wu Jin leave, Chen Heng thought of the young man's ambition and smiled, "If all descendants can abide by this ancestral precept, perhaps the descendants of the Wu family can really ensure that every household has enough rice to eat, and no one will go hungry again."
Mei Erqiu, who was beside the servant, said: "Miss, you are joking. How can anyone in this world have such ability?"
"Ambition is immortal, and someone will definitely achieve it." Shen Heng said with certainty, and couldn't help but think of Ouyang En. Because he was an orphan and grew up eating at other people's homes, he was determined to become a general to protect the country to repay the people's kindness. He also said, "If I don't succeed, I will let my son and grandson continue."
When the youth are strong, the country is strong.
Qing Bo had already prepared the carriage, and the few of them waited outside for a while before Wu Jin came running over.
The entrance to the Imperial Examination Hall was already crowded with people, including ladies, masters, maids, servants, common people, and people from poor families, all crowded together, looking forward to it.
Qing Bo asked a servant to squeeze in front and wait, so that he wouldn't be unable to find them when he came out.
At this time, the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall opened and the students came out one after another.
After a while, a servant came in happily: "I saw you, and Xie's Prime Minister is here too."
"Mrs. Chen, look, it's Enqi." Mei'er pointed excitedly at a place not far away.
Shen Heng looked over and saw Xie Jian and Meng Xuanlang coming out. The two servants in front took the examination baskets from the two men.
"Zi, how did you do in the exam?" Qing Bo asked excitedly.
"It's a bit difficult." Meng Xuanlang sighed, then smiled and said, "It should be no problem to pass."
"Where is Prime Minister Xie?" Qing Bo looked at Xie Jian.
"It's the same feeling as Xuanlang." Xie Jian said indifferently.
"Congratulations to the first censor, and congratulations to the two censors." Qing Bo also had an incomparable affection for Prime Minister Xie. Madam Shen was a down-to-earth person with a cheerful and simple temperament. Prime Minister Xie was gentle and polite to others, neither humble nor arrogant, and people looked up to him. And there was also the censor Ouyang, who was in office. He was determined to be a censor like his ancestors, and his friends were also righteous young people.
"Qing Bo has already booked a table at the best restaurant in Yuzhou. We have to eat and drink to celebrate tonight." Wu Jin hugged the two of them.
Xie Jian was not used to physical contact with others, but he did not push her away. He looked at Chen Heng who was grinning from ear to ear and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
After getting on the carriage, Chen Heng handed him the melon she had prepared for him: "I bought this this morning, it's so sweet." This is a local melon. It is crisp, sweet and juicy when raw, and pink, sweet and juicy when ripe. If she didn't get diarrhea from eating too much, she could eat several in a day.
Xie Jian took it and took a bite. It was indeed quite sweet. "The results will be announced in ten days. Have you been worried about me failing the exam these days?"
"Yes. I was so worried that I couldn't sleep for several nights." What is there to worry about? If such a top student can fail the exam, how can ordinary candidates survive? Of course, you can't say that, Shen Heng said softly.
"Really? You look a little fatter."
