Chapter 079 Top of the List

After getting the medicine, Yuan Ming didn't dare to continue on his way, so he found an inn and moved in.

He gave the medicine to the waiter to boil, and Yuan Ming helped Ji Qingyue sit down beside the bed. Hearing the voice, he asked: "How do you feel?"

Ji Qingyue looked at him and nodded slowly: "Not bad."

Yuan Ming asked: "Are you still dizzy? Do you want to vomit? Do you feel uncomfortable in your stomach?"

Ji Qingyue shook his head one by one, but the worry on his face did not go away much.

The doctor just said that the fetus is unstable in the first three months of pregnancy and needs careful care. But they went to the hot spring and bumped back and forth. Now the child can still stay safely in the belly. It is a blessing.

Ji Qingyue's hand was weakly stroking his belly, his face full of fear: "It's my fault. I felt a little unwell a few days ago, but I didn't take it seriously. If I had known this would happen, I should have gone to the clinic. If something happened to the child..."

Yuan Ming saved him, stroked his back with both hands, and comforted him: "It's okay. The doctor said that Qingqing has a good physical foundation and the child is also strong. And how can you be blamed for this? It's just an accident. Don't think too much."

After a while, the waiter brought in the boiled medicine. Ji

Qingyue always complained that the medicine was bitter, and he couldn't drink it without cakes and candies. However, this time, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, without any hesitation.

Yuan Ming saw it, but he didn't feel relieved, and his heart was a little sour.

Not long after taking the medicine, Ji Qingyue fell asleep. The medicine contained a tranquilizer.

Yuan Ming sat by the bed and looked at him for a long time. His young wife was going to give birth to another child for him. This time, he would never let anything go wrong for both of them!

With thousands of thoughts in his mind, Yuan Ming sat down in front of the desk and took out a pen and paper.

After thinking for a moment, he picked up the pen and wrote the four words "家有福宝" on the paper.

Ji Qingyue and Yuan Ming stayed in Cheng County for two days and went to the clinic to check his pulse again. The doctor said that the medicine prescribed was very effective. Taiyi had become stable, and Yuan Ming's vacation was over. The next day was the day when the Tongsheng exam results were announced. Ji Qingyue said she was unwilling to continue to teach in Cheng County, so she returned home.

After learning from the last time he hurried, Yuan Ming deliberately walked very slowly. The two-hour journey took them most of the day with many stops and starts. It was still evening when they arrived at Shifang Town.

Ji Qingyue was concerned about his test scores and insisted that he take the main street because it would pass by Fangyuan Academy.

But this time Yuan Ming didn't listen to him. The main street was crowded with people and cars. Not only would walking slowly be a problem, but there might also be conflicts if they encountered reckless people on horseback. Ji Qingyue was pregnant, so he wanted to nip all the dangers in the bud.

Seeing the carriage turn into a small road, Ji Qingyue pouted and turned her head away to ignore him.

Yuan Ming rubbed his head with amusement: "Be good, I'll take you home first, I'll go to see the list, and then come back and tell you right away, okay?"

"Okay." Ji Qingyue nodded reluctantly, and put her head on Yuan Ming's shoulder, but deliberately kept it away from his face.

Yuan Ming: "..."

The carriage suddenly stopped at the entrance of the alley.

The driver said: "Sir, we can't go forward."

Yuan Ming opened the curtain curiously. There were not many people using carriages in the alley, and it had always been unobstructed. But today, for some reason, several carriages were parked there, completely blocking the narrow road.

Just as he was wondering, there was a sudden noisy sound of footsteps and voices in the alley. Soon, a group of people came out. The leader was obviously a yamen runner, but he had a red ribbon tied around his waist, and he didn't look like he was here to arrest criminals.

"Look, that's Yuan Ming, and his husband!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone looked at Yuan Ming and Ji Qingyue.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that their eyes were like wolves and tigers, which scared Ji Qingyue and made him take a big step back.

Yuan Ming quickly helped him up and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

Ji Qingyue shook her head, touched her stomach with her hand, and her face turned pale.

Ever since he knew that he almost lost the child due to miscarriage, he has been extra cautious, fearing that there would be any more mistakes. Obviously, the scene before him was very dangerous for him.

And Yuan Ming had actually guessed who these people were.

In his previous life, he had no chance to be the top of the list, but he had heard of such a glorious scene.

"Are you Mr. Yuan Ming?" The leading yamen runner walked up to them, bowed to them, and one of them asked with a fist.

Yuan Ming said: "It's me, the two officials are looking for me because..."

Hearing this, they both laughed and said in unison: "Congratulations, Mr. Yuan! We are sent by the town guard office to tell you the good news. You are the top of the list in the Tongsheng test!"

Hearing this, Yuan Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

Even with the memories of his last life, his heart was still hanging until the dust finally settled.

An hour later, he thanked the yamen runners and sent away the neighbors who came to watch the fun.

Yuan Ming and Ji Qingyue collapsed on the chairs and drank the already cold tea in the cups.

"It's so tiring. Why are these people so long-winded? They keep saying the same thing over and over again, and my mouth is almost stiff from smiling."

Yuan Ming tilted his head to look at him and raised his eyebrows: "Then press the corners of your mouth, I don't want to have a husband with a crooked mouth."

Ji Qingyue glared at him, stretched out her hand to touch her face, and felt the obvious upturned arc at the corners of her mouth. She didn't bother, and suddenly pounced on Yuan Ming and poked him.

"My husband, my husband, my husband, you have been so good for so long, and you just got the top spot."

Yuan Ming was startled by his action and quickly stretched out his hands to protect his waist.

Hearing his words, he was proud and amused.

He pinched Ji Qingyue's nose and said, "What's the point? You are so happy just because you are a scholar? My husband is too easy to satisfy."

"The imperial examination is very difficult, just like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. I don't want my husband to have too much pressure. As long as we are all fine and the children are fine, I will be very satisfied." Ji Qingyue said.

After a moment of shock, Yuan Ming hugged him tightly and said, "I will definitely do that."

Cao was still in the village, so Yuan Ming wanted to share the good news with her as soon as possible, but Ji Qingyue still needed to recuperate for a while and it was not appropriate for her to leave in a hurry.

Yuan Ming thought about it and called Yang Chao and his wife to his home.

After treating them to a meal, Yuan Ming asked Yang Chao to bring the news to Cao, and Yang Chao naturally agreed.

On the other side, Song Yan and Ji Qingyue were talking in the bedroom.

Song Yan had never given birth to a child, but as the eldest daughter in the family, she had witnessed the birth of her younger brothers and sisters. Compared with Ji Qingyue, a complete novice, she had some experience.

After chatting for a few sentences, Ji Qingyue found that Song Yan was in a low mood.

Thinking of her previous experience of accidental miscarriage, her heart ached. When she was pregnant, she could understand the pain of losing a child even more.

Ji Qingyue couldn't help feeling guilty. Just now, he only cared about his own happiness and talked about the child. He didn't think about how Song Yan felt when he heard it.

"Sister Yan Zi, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that, I made you sad."

Song Yan waved her hand quickly: "Nothing, it's all in the past."

Despite what he said, Ji Qingyue quickly changed the subject and talked about their experience in Luoxing Village.

Hearing Xiao Linzi's story, Song Yan was surprised and regretful: "He can write a book after only one year of study! This is really a talent. If he is well raised in a rich family, he will definitely be a talent."

Ji Qingyue said: "I thought so too, but guess what the child said?"

Song Yan asked curiously: "What did he say?"

Ji Qingyue recalled the scene at that time. Xiao Linzi's timid expression was no longer on his face, and he was full of determination. His voice was not loud but sonorous and powerful, which made the two adults present look at him with admiration.

He said, "I don't want to study, and I don't want to leave my grandfather and live with him. This book can be exchanged for money. I don't ask for it to improve my life and my grandfather's life. As long as he can sleep for a quarter of an hour longer in the morning, I will be satisfied."

Song Yan said, "What a sensible and good child."

Considering that Yuan Ming and his friends had traveled a long way, Yang Chao and his wife did not stay. After eating, they sat for a while and went back. Before leaving, Lian Lian promised to take the message back early the next day.

But what they didn't expect was that Cao came in person the next day, carrying a bag and a chubby big white cat.
