Rong Xi finally returned to her own yard. The tense atmosphere in the study just now really made her feel uncomfortable. Now that she relaxed, she felt a burning pain on her back. She thought it was because she was hit when she was dodging the whip of her father-in-law and mother-in-law.
But she no longer had the heart to care about these things. She just wanted to lie down on the bed and rest. There were so many things to do every day that she was exhausted both physically and mentally.
She had barely laid down for a cup of tea when the servant outside the door came in hurriedly to report that someone had been sent from her parents-in-law's room.
When Rong Xi heard this, her heart skipped a beat. No way, what was going on? She had just returned. Could it be that her parents-in-law had changed their minds again? If so, she was really powerless to resist.
When he came out, he saw Si Cheng from the gift room waiting in the yard with his men. There was a big box behind them. Rong Xi looked at the box and groaned inwardly, thinking that there must be nothing good in it.
"Greetings, young lady." Si Cheng, the leader, bowed first, and Rong Xi could only accept. "I wonder what business Liang Si Cheng has come here for this time?"
Liang Sicheng replied respectfully, "These are the eight-part essays, examination poems, the Great Learning, the Doctrine of the Mean, the Analects, and the Mencius. The Five Classics will also be sent to you."
Rong Xi felt a headache after hearing this, and secretly complained in his heart: "Sending so much, how long will it take to see it through?"
"My lady said that if there is anything I don't understand, I can ask her at any time. She also said..."
His sudden pause made Rong Xi feel that what was going to be said next would not be good, and she didn't want to listen anymore.
"He also said that he would regularly check on the girl's homework and told her that since she had made a promise, she must abide by it."
As expected, it was something she didn't want to hear. Rong Xi replied helplessly, "I understand."
After the people from the reception room left, Rong Xi returned to his room dejectedly, feeling extremely regretful. He had just said something else but insisted on saying that he wanted to take the imperial examination. Now he had really messed up.
Although she had traveled through so many worlds, this was her first time experiencing the imperial examination. She had only a superficial understanding of things like the Four Books and Five Classics and the Eight-Legged Essay, and was not proficient in them at all.
She is capable of taking the Six Arts of a Gentleman test, but why does she have to take these headache-inducing tests?
Rong Xi remained in this state until dinner time, and finally saw Song Yanyin who had disappeared for a day.
He was still as obedient and respectful as ever, waiting quietly by the side.
Rong Xi looked at him, and the anger in his heart began to rise. The more he looked, the angrier he became.
Even if we take a step back, is he really not wrong?
If it weren't for him, why would I bother taking that damn imperial examination? It makes me angry just thinking about it.
Rong Xi sat at the table to eat, but she couldn't get rid of the anger in her heart. She stuffed the food into her mouth as if it were Song Yanyin, chewing it hard, as if this could vent all the resentment in her heart.
The table was clearly filled with delicious dishes, but Rong Xi found the big steamed buns so bland and tasteless that he was so busy sulking that he had no mind to savor the delicious food.
"Yin Xiaolang, come and serve the food."
Although there was originally someone in charge of serving the dishes, Rong Xi always liked to eat whatever he wanted, so the person in charge of serving the dishes had been removed.
When Song Yanyin heard the tone and thought about the news he heard when he came back today, he knew that his wife must be in a bad mood at the moment.
He had already prepared himself to be punished at any time, so when Rong Xi called him just now, he was not as scared as before, but he was still nervous.
He slowly walked to Rong Xi, picked up the serving chopsticks, and asked Rong Xi softly what he wanted to eat.
The table was quite large, and the dishes that Rong Xi specifically requested were either on the east or west side of the table. Song Yanyin was busy running back and forth. After the meal, Rong Xi was full, but Song Yanyin was exhausted.
Rong Xi did not lose his temper at the dinner table, but he did not feel relieved. Instead, he became more nervous. He thought that his wife would not be lenient during the meal.
The people who were responsible for serving him also started to worry, because they all knew what kind of personality his wife had, and when she got angry, she could be very dangerous.
"Young man, why don't you just claim to be sick later, otherwise..." he suggested in a low voice.
Song Yanyin just shook her head. "It's useless. We all know exactly who she is."
He knew in his heart that if he really claimed to be sick and refused to serve his wife today, his wife might become even more troublesome later, and she would probably not let it go easily then.
"Then let's go ask Doctor Lang for help. Maybe he can help us."
"Forget it, there's no way to avoid it."
Song Yanyin sighed, and when he turned around, the pain and resentment in his eyes almost turned into reality. In his heart, he secretly complained about the unfairness of heaven and why he had to live in such a world where he had no control over everything and could only let others manipulate him.
Even your life is in the hands of others.
.
On the other side, Rong Xi had no idea what was going on in the mind of her task target, Song Yanyin, because she was pulling at her clothes at the moment, preventing Qiu Shuang from taking them off for her.
"Girl, what's wrong with you? Didn't Dongxue and I always wash you in the past? Why are you shy today?"
Rong Xi had never experienced such a thing before. What she was pulling at this moment was her last bit of dignity. There was no place outside anymore. They still refused to go out. It would be fine if they didn't go out, but why don't you turn around? This is so embarrassing for her.
"Really, there's no need. I can do it myself." Rong Xi said anxiously.
Qiu Shuang and Dong Xue looked at each other and understood each other. As if they had made an appointment, they looked at Rong Xi again.
When Rong Xi saw their looks, he was so angry that he pulled harder unconsciously.
Qiu Shuang finally let go and said with a smile: "The girl has indeed become a little plump recently. I think it is because she is about to awaken her fragrance. In this case, let's turn around. When you are ready to take off your clothes, call us."
When Rong Xi heard this, he nodded immediately, quickly took off his clothes, and jumped into the wooden barrel.
When Qiu Shuang and Dong Xue heard the sound of falling into the water, they couldn't help laughing. It seemed that the girl had really grown up and knew how to be shy.
"I, I'm fine." After a while, Rong Xi shouted in the bucket.
After hearing this, the two turned around and rubbed Rong Xi's back.
"Girl, are you really attracted to Yin Xiaolang's elder brother and younger brother?" Qiu Shuang asked curiously while rubbing Rong Xi's back.
